The General Said She Didn’t Take a Wife - Chapter 157
The leader of the mountain bandit led his more than 100 men to raid a village just now. He believed that he acted quickly and lived comfortably in the past. He was never caught by the army. After they retreated for a mile, they gradually slowed down. Speed, action becomes leisurely.
Until a strange noise sounded from a distance, the bandit turned his head and looked back, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, but he saw an army about ten times the number of bandits appearing behind his team, and it was already very close to their team. .
The spies sent by Qianhu thought about going around to outflank when they found the trail of the mountain bandits, but the road ahead was smooth, and even if they went around, they couldn’t find a bunker, and it was easy to be discovered midway.
Fortunately, only three or two of the bandits rode their horses. After a brief thought, he decided to go after them.
The team was discovered by the bandits when they were about a hundred feet close to the bandits. The bandit’s head was still calm, and immediately ordered the bandits to run fast.
Qianhu immediately understood that the mountain bandits had discovered the chasing army, Qianhu also acted decisively and ordered a full-speed pursuit. The speed of the army increased rapidly, and soon the distance between the two teams was shortened.
The bandit was anxious. The bandits in the team behind him were still dragging the food and money robbed from the village, which slowed down their marching speed. Seeing that the army was about to catch up with them, the bandit head clenched his teeth and let out a low voice. :
“Hurry up and throw the heavy things in your hand, don’t let those soldiers and horses catch up!”
Although the bandits deplored the food, it was better than losing their lives when the army caught up with them, so they threw the things they could not hold on the spot, and they could also check the speed of the army.
Qianhu is also a wise man. When he saw such a scene, he had a scruples in his heart. He immediately separated a dozen people from the team to pick up the things that the bandits had left, and the rest of the team accelerated again and chased the bandits.
The manpower he brought has an absolute advantage. If he can successfully bite it, even if he can’t catch the three horse-riding bandit leaders, he can beat these mountain bandits to pieces and give them a heavy blow.
The troops ran faster and faster. The bandits had already lost some physical strength by robbing houses and carrying property, and the bandits in the mountains were pampered on weekdays, far less hard-working than the soldiers in the barracks. Seeing to be caught up.
The distance between the army and the bandits was already less than a hundred paces, and suddenly one person jumped out of the team and said to Qianhu:
“Lord Qianhu, borrow a bow!”
The thousand households turned their heads and saw a little girl following up to borrow his bow. He was stunned for a moment, then frowned and shouted in a low voice:
“Don’t make trouble! It’s important to chase people!”
He thought that Fang Yuzhu was eager to make contributions, and he dared to take the bow when he thought that the distance was almost there.
Not to mention whether this young girl has the ability to cross Yang with a hundred steps, even if she can really shoot, Qianhu doesn’t think she can kill any big shots, not to mention that this little girl is still a recruit.
Therefore, Qianhu was very impatient, only glanced at Fang Yuzhu, and refused to lend his bow to Fang Yuzhu.
Seeing this, Fang Yuzhu pursed her lips. She had received cold eyes from others before, so she didn’t bother about it. She continued to follow Qianhu’s side and actively spoke:
“Thousand households! These gangsters will run faster and faster when they are forced. It is very difficult for our people to keep up. If they can hurt their gang leader, this group of people can only wait to die!”
When Qianhu heard this, he glanced at Fang Yuzhu again and sneered:
“You think I don’t know? But you are sure you can hit the bandit leader from such a long distance? Humph!”
been underestimated.
Fang Yuzhu gritted his teeth and said:
“I’m sure I’ll hit the bandit leader. If I miss, I’ll pay homage to Lord Qianhu in the second half of the year!”
Qianhu was really surprised. He didn’t expect Fang Yuzhu to say such ruthless words in order to make meritorious deeds. He was really not afraid of tigers!
But when Qianhu thought about it, he borrowed the bow to Fang Yuzhu. Whether Fang Yuzhu was talking big or not, whether he could shoot the bandit leader or not, this matter would be beneficial to him.
If Fang Yuzhu shoots the leader of the bandit, everything will be all right. Missing the shot will not affect his capture of the bandit, and it can also cause riots. More importantly, Fang Yuzhu’s half-year army salary as a bet is what he has in his pocket.
But he still wanted to do it, so he snorted coldly and took the bow and arrow to her:
“Hey, you dare to say that, you must have some ability, then let everyone see if you are talking big!”
Fang Yuzhu took the bow and arrow, thanked Qianhu, and then ran a few more steps, quickly drawing the bow and arrow, and locked his gaze on the bandit leader who had previously ordered to give up the heavy objects.
The distance is about a hundred paces, within her grasp.
After Fang Yuzhu took aim, he let go of his hand decisively, only to hear a swoosh, the arrow broke through the air, and flew out in an instant, dragging an afterimage in the air.
When the bandit leader found that someone was shooting a cold arrow behind him, and the arrow was already approaching, he turned around in panic, and wanted to raise the knife to block it, but the arrow rubbed the back of his knife and flew past, slamming into his shoulder with a puff.
There was a scream in his mouth, but Fang Yuzhu’s second arrow had already arrived, this time it was aimed straight at his throat.
The bandit leader roared angrily and forcibly tilted his body to avoid Fang Yuzhu’s ultimate move. The third arrow came one after another, and just as he dodged, it stabbed the neck of the horse in front of him.
The last arrow was Fang Yuzhu’s purpose.
The horse neighed and fell to the ground with a rumbling sound. The bandit leader was also thrown to the ground, and all the people beside him were overturned. Several bandits fell to the ground, and more than a hundred bandits fell into chaos.
The other two bandit leaders who were riding horses were shocked by the accident. Looking back, they were shot in the throat by two arrows and fell off their horses one after another.
The bandits were gone, and the army led by Qianhu immediately attacked them. Ten times the force of the bandits plus the three bandit leaders all fell off their horses.
Until the more than 100 bandits were captured, Qianhu had not recovered from the shock. Fang Yuzhu smiled happily and ran up with a bow to return the bow and arrow to Qianhu.
The thousand households stared at Fang Yuzhu’s immature face for a long time. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the legend that came from the north many years ago.
That is the legendary deed of the current queen who broke into Poyan City with one shot, opened the gate of Poyan City, and led Xingbeiguan reinforcements to drive away the barbarian garrison.
He has never seen the real body of the Empress, nor the legend, but in the short time just now, he saw such a brave and fearless scene from Fang Yuzhu’s body in a trance.
Maybe Fang Yuzhu is different from the Empress, but Fang Yuzhu also has her own strengths.
Most importantly, she was only fourteen years old.
Just five arrows, killing two bandit leaders and forcing the boss to dismount.
Qianhu gritted his teeth, he was actually making a bet with Fang Yuzhu just now, intending to win the army salary from her for half a year.
He glanced at the bow and arrow in Fang Yuzhu’s hand, suddenly let out a breath, and made a secret decision in his heart:
“This bow is given to you as a token of today’s merits. When I go back, I will report it to the general and give you the first merit!”
Fang Yuzhu smiled when she heard the words, and didn’t mind the attitude that Qianhu didn’t trust her just now.
Whether a person has strength or can do great things is not said by one mouth. There is no military exploits, no deeds that can convince people, and others do not believe you, it is also forgivable.
This was what Lin Aoxue had said to her when she left the imperial study that day.
Fang Yuzhu engraved these words in her heart, so no matter how she was treated in the military camp, even if everyone treated her coldly, she was not afraid.
Because she believed she could impress them.
She smiled happily and bowed respectfully to Qianhu:
“Thank you Qianhu-sama!”
Fang Yuzhu’s respect and obedience made Qianhu feel more and more happy. He felt that if this child did not experience any changes in the future, it would be limitless, and maybe he could become the next female general who will endure forever like the current empress.
The icing on the cake is far less impressive than giving charcoal in the snow. Qianhu knew that what he did today might not be a big deal, but he was willing to form a good relationship. He intuitively believed that Fang Yuzhu might not be so simple.
Besides, how can a girl from an ordinary family become so skilled at this age?
Fang Yuzhu received the reward, full of joy, and did not notice the small calculus in Qianhu’s heart. She rushed up with the team to capture the bandits, tied them up, and escorted them back to the military camp.
Witnessing Fang Yuzhu’s five arrows to knock down three thieves’ heads, the soldiers who had teased Fang Yuzhu before and questioned her strength were like ducks with their throats strangled, unable to speak again.
The veterans who thought that their archery skills were inferior to Fang Yuzhu were all red and embarrassed, and the soldiers who were close to Fang Yuzhu shouted, saying that Fang Yuzhu could still do this, which is really not easy.
Fang Yuzhu just laughed and said that the martial arts master taught well.
The soldiers began to realize that Fang Yuzhu’s identity might not be simple, so they began to inquire from side to side, and Fang Yuzhu had nothing to hide except the empress often benevolent to her. , and was sent to the martial arts hall by his benefactor to practice martial arts. Because he wanted to repay his benefactor, he took the initiative to join the army.
As far as Yuzhu is concerned, this is the truth.
The soldiers were skeptical about the answer given by Fang Yuzhu, but they felt that Fang Yuzhu would not hide anything for a small child, so they all sighed that Fang Yuzhu was really lucky and had a heart of kindness.
The soldiers’ investigation of Fang Yuzhu’s identity came to an end. After returning to the barracks, Qianhu really reported Fang Yuzhu’s first credit, and the five arrows and a hundred steps through Yang’s arrows that brought Fang Yuzhu to the bandit leader reported to Pan Yuhai truthfully, after Pan Yuhai listened to it. , the expression on his face was quite complicated, and after a while he let out a long sigh:
“This little girl really has some skills!”
After Qianhu came out of Pan Yuhai’s tent, he also brought out a piece of news. Pan Yuhai mentioned why Fang Yuzhu was tall. This little girl from the famous Eastern Region Barracks joined the army for less than three months, and she was promoted to be a long. This shows that Pan Yuhai’s cultivation heart of.
After this incident, the news that Fang Yuzhu captured the leader of the bandit with five arrows and annihilated the entire army of a hundred bandits ran through the entire Eastern Region barracks like long legs.
But Fang Yuzhu has always listened to these external voices, and never took it to heart. As time goes by, the wind will stop for a while, and no one will mention it again.
The wars in the Eastern Region are not as frequent as those in the Northern Region in previous years, so the army has time to hold various activities, and there is a large-scale hunting every three months.
After Pan Yuhai learned about Fang Yuzhu’s superb archery skills, he planned to cultivate them. After several rounds of hunting, Fang Yuzhu won the top prize. This little girl’s superb archery skills are well known to the lieutenants and soldiers of the army, and more and more people remember it. Fang Yuzhu’s name.
As Fang Yuzhu grew older, her facial features gradually grew, and her appearance became more and more delicate. In addition, she practiced martial arts all the year round, and she had the sassy appearance of an iron-blooded soldier.
She doesn’t like to talk on weekdays, but her temperament is not too twisted, and she is very likable. The soldiers in the Eastern Region Barracks treat Fang Yuzhu as a younger sister, and they will not compete with her for those who can make her.
However, the promotion of soldiers depends on military merit. Because there are few wars, there are fewer opportunities for promotion.
Fang Yuzhu joined the army for one year and participated in several bandit suppression campaigns. Each time, he was at the forefront. At such a young age, the bandits were frightened. At the end of the first year, Pan Yuhai promoted Fang Yuzhu to a hundred households, which caused a commotion.
But Fang Yuzhu’s ability is worthy of her position. Although the soldiers were surprised, few of them really dared to persuade them.
What makes Pan Yuhai gratified is that Fang Yuzhu has reached a hundred households at only fifteen years old, but he is not arrogant or impetuous, and is still earnest and diligent in training every day, without the slightest frivolity, which makes Pan Yuhai feel that this woman should be a malleable talent.
In the spring of the second year, the battle between the army and the bandits became more and more intense. The bandits were cunning. Several tribes linked up and reached a collaboration to design and introduce the army into the urn, intending to teach the army some lessons, and set up many ambush along the way.
Pan Yuhai sent an army of 10,000 people to encircle and suppress these gangsters. Fang Yuzhu found out that something was wrong in the middle, and made a statement to the captain of the team, but was rejected.
When the army entered a forest, a fire suddenly broke out in the forest. When the commander led the army out, thousands of soldiers were burned to death.
There are still bandits robbing the road outside. The battle is severe, the woods are smoky, and the vision is unclear. The bandits who are familiar with the terrain are obviously better than the army. In addition, the army has dispersed because of the fire, giving the bandits an opportunity to take advantage of, and it won’t take long. , causing very heavy casualties.
It was the first time Fang Yuzhu had encountered such a situation. The instinct of survival allowed her to show off what she had learned in this battle, killing one person in ten steps, and literally leading her hundred soldiers to break out of the siege.
In that battle, the Eastern Territory garrison suffered heavy losses, and less than half of a 10,000-strong team escaped the battlefield alive. This was an extremely painful loss for the Eastern Territory, where wars were not frequent!
Fang Yuzhu’s arm was also burned by the fire, and she was slashed on the back, but she didn’t collapse until she returned to the military camp.
Pan Yuhai asked the military doctor to treat the wounds of the soldiers with a livid face, and then called the still alive commander to the front, and learned that the commander had been captured, the mountain bandits clamored for Pan Yuhai to take a hundred taels of gold to redeem the people.
Pan Yuhai was furious, and decided to agree to the bandits’ conditions first, then grab their tails when he went to save people, and fight against the army.
Fang Yuzhu had just wrapped up the wounds on his body, so he went to Pan Yuhai non-stop to ask for orders to fight. This time the army suffered heavy losses. , or vulnerable to ambush.
She told Pan Yuhai that she remembered the topography of that place, and it might play a role. After Pan Yuhai thought about it, she boldly mentioned Fang Yuzhu as the main general, and dispatched another 10,000 soldiers and horses to let the other two commanders assist Fang Yuzhu to set out. bandit.
Fang Yuzhu led a team of 10,000 people to set off again, and launched a surprise attack at the agreed place to redeem the captured captain. The bandits panicked. Fang Yuzhu shot the bandits holding the captain with two arrows.
Just when the captain thought he was about to escape, the captured captain was blocked by Fang Yuzhu with an arrow. Under the terrified and disbelieving gaze of the latter, Fang Yuzhu said to him with a cold face:
“Five thousand people died because of you, do you think you can go back alive?”
So many soldiers and soldiers died at the hands of the bandits because of this person’s misunderstanding, and this person even chose to abandon his armor and surrender in the final chaos. Fang Yuzhu didn’t know how such a person took the post of captain, but when she came, she He has made up his mind to let this person pay the debt with blood.
She came for revenge.
The captain died on the spot, Fang Yuzhu led the troops and horses directly into the mountain bandits’ den, leveled the bandit’s den, and returned triumphantly.
As soon as the war ended, Fang Yuzhu was justifiably promoted to a thousand households. Pan Yuhai learned that Fang Yuzhu had shot and killed the commander, and did not say much, and chose to suppress the matter for her.
Fang Yuzhu was very grateful for this, and secretly remembered Pan Yuhai’s kindness in his heart.
But because she was injured and forced to use force, she became seriously ill after the war and lay in bed for two months before she could go to the ground.
Since then, the banditry in the Eastern Region has stopped a lot, and Fang Yuzhu has fewer opportunities to fight, but her reputation has already started. No one in the Eastern Region does not know that there is such a powerful little girl in the military camp, named Fang Yuzhu.
Four years after joining the army, Fang Yuzhu, who had reached the position of a general, left the camp and returned to the capital. She returned to the capital in time for the scientific examination. When she left, she was still childish. Now she returns, she is an eighteen-year-old girl.
During these years in the barracks, no matter how busy she was in training, she would still study hard.
She regards reading and learning as an indispensable part of her life. She always remembers that there is still one thing waiting for her to do. She is not afraid of martial arts, but she is not sure if she wants to tell the truth about the literary exam.
Four years ago, she left the capital on the morning sun, and now she came back, but she stepped on the afterglow of the sun, the setting sun pulled her figure tall, sprinkled on the official road, and drew a swaying shadow.
