Chapter 1267 Extra Zhou Dacang 1
Zhou Dacang was truly relieved. It was such a great joy that Zhou Su was found back.
The family finally settled down in Cangshan Village and lived the stable life they had dreamed of when they were fleeing, working from sunrise to sunset.
But he was still restless in his heart. The scene of his mother's death echoed in his mind day and night. He promised her that he would find his two brothers back, whether alive or dead.
But the world is so big, where can he find these two people?
They were captured by the officials, in the army...
If he entered the military camp, would he be able to find someone?
If we try our best to climb up, won’t the chance of finding someone be greater?
Once this idea came to mind, I couldn't stop, and the desire to go to the military camp became stronger day by day.
Besides, Zhou Guo is at home. This girl is capable and resourceful. She can defeat ten strong men by herself, so he has nothing to worry about.
He originally thought that his family would not agree. After all, there was no decent man in the family now, and he was the one who took on the brunt of the burden. Once he left, there would be only the old and the young left in the family.
Who would have thought that the first person to agree to this matter was Zhou Guo. Li didn't say much, and everyone actually let him go. This was something he didn't expect.
He still remembered what Zhou Guo said, that she would take good care of the family so that he wouldn't have to worry, but the military camp was full of ruthless people and he had to take good care of himself.
The old man also gave him two booklets and went over everything he had in his hands. As for how much he could understand, it all depended on himself.
Even though he was extremely reluctant, he finally left home and left the village.
At this time, Xu's army was recruiting soldiers everywhere. Once they entered the camp, they would be given two taels of silver and a set of thick clothes and shoes. These conditions were more comfortable than life at home.
Many people came to apply, and they were all from poor families. Some of them had nothing presentable on their bodies. Compared with the clothes issued by the military camp, what they wore made them look like beggars.
Zhou Dacang was a newcomer and went to the border with a group of people.
This was his first time to come to the border. The towering checkpoint standing at the pass blocked the Hu people’s march southward and erected a barrier for the Chinese people.
Originally, their new recruits would not go to the battlefield in a short time, but because he was skilled in boxing and shooting, he was promoted from the new recruits and incorporated into the old army.
Most of these people were born in poor families, and like him, they were on the edge of a knife every day, with no idea of what would happen after today. But even so, the veterans still didn't think highly of new recruits like him.
According to seniority, he had just arrived and could only endure it.
Doing the heaviest work and eating the worst food was sometimes not enough, as you had to work for the veterans and carry things. You also had to sleep at the outside, near the camp entrance. The wind and snow would more or less drift in, making it too cold to sleep.
He slept in a place like this every night for a month in the barracks.
It's not that he didn't think about resisting, but one of the veterans told him that everyone had been through this, and that although the veteran was ordering him around, he was also teaching him survival skills, and asked him if he had learned anything during this period.
Zhou Dacang thought about it carefully, and it was true. Compared to the recruit camp, he had indeed learned a lot here. Now, as soon as there was a little movement outside, he could get up as quickly as possible, faster than anyone else.
How to find water, how to carry things with less effort, how to treat a minor injury on the battlefield, how to make the wound heal faster...
He learned all these from these people. If it weren't for these veterans, it would have taken him some time to adapt to life in the barracks so quickly and feel at home like a fish in water in the recruit camp.
This kind of life did not last long. More than a month later, the Hu army arrived at the city gates and tried to break through.
The nights at the border are really cold, the wind is biting, water freezes, my toes are numb from the cold, and the hands holding the guns are numb from the cold. The snow is blowing heavily and I can only see two steps away.
But Zhou Dacang knew that he had no way out, he could only move forward. Only by fighting hard to get to the top would he have a chance to go back, find his brother, and bring good days to his family.
This was his first time on the battlefield, his first time facing so many Hu people, and the people standing in front of him had to be taller.
But so what? People taller than him will still fall under his gun.
The gun barrel thrust forward, piercing through the enemy's body. Warm blood splashed onto his face, but in this icy and snowy environment, it quickly turned cold.
With the first one, Zhou Dacang seemed to have opened up his Ren and Du meridians. He killed people without blinking an eye. He also took the opportunity to save his own squad leader.
I don’t know how long it took, but the endless enemies in front of me finally retreated. It was daybreak, and the vision became clear. At a glance, apart from the corpses on the ground, everything was white.
The snow is still falling. After this snowfall, all traces here will disappear.
The Hu people were defeated and fled.
Zhou Dacang leaned on his gun and stared at the direction where the Hu people were going away, "Hu people, they are not that scary."
In the post-war settlement, it was found that in this battle, Zhou Dacang killed sixteen Hu people and rescued his own squad leader from them.
Fight to fame.
Promoted to sergeant.
The old soldiers in the barracks no longer had their previous arrogance. They were polite to him and even saluted when they saw him.
willingly.
Although seniority is strictly enforced in the military camp, if you are truly capable and competent, others will respect you. Such people will rise up sooner or later.
The second battle came quickly, in the early morning of eight days later.
Zhou Dacang followed the army out of the city. After a night of fighting, he killed thirty-six enemies without any injury.
The name of the new big-name soldier Zhou Dacang quickly spread in the military camp. There were many people in the military camp with achievements like Zhou Dacang, and there were also some who were braver than him, but there were not many who could retreat from the battlefield unscathed, let alone a rookie.
All new recruits have to go through several months of training before they can go to the battlefield. Not many of them can be so brave the first time they go to the battlefield.
Zhou Dacang's reputation gradually grew.
One of the biggest advantages of Xu's army is that the leaders do not take credit for the achievements, and the credit belongs to whoever it belongs to.
Therefore, after a few battles, he was promoted quickly and received attention from above.
Soon, he was transferred to Xu Xiaobei.
This would be an opportunity for him to show his talents.
……
The first time he went home after entering the military camp was because he was chasing the Hu people. He did not expect that these Hu people would go all the way to Cangshan Village.
They were chasing him closely, and the closer they got to the village, the more anxious he became.
From afar, he saw shadowy figures of people at the entrance of the village, and his heart rose to his throat.
When I rushed over, the first person I saw was the old man, and then Zhou Guo beside him. The little girl's sharp eyes were like a wolf on the grassland, and it was impossible to avoid those eyes.
The Hu people were blocked at the entrance of the village before they could enter it, and no one was left alive.
