Frontier, Dongjiang City!
Lu Chen stood under the vast city wall, glanced at the vast grassland behind him, and suddenly felt heroic in his heart!
"Who is under the city?"
At this time, the soldiers guarding the city shouted loudly.
Lu Chen came back to his senses, raised his head and replied: "According to the will of the Holy One, I was called to join the army!"
The soldiers guarding the city were obviously taken aback, and then they couldn't help but sneer: "What do you mean by enlisting in the army?"
"I'm afraid I might have offended the powerful and been sent to the frontier!"
Of course, I didn’t dare to say this in public.
"Is there any paperwork?"
The soldier guarding the city asked again.
"There is a holy message to the Jinzhou government office, and there is a letter written by the prefect!"
Although Xu Dehai is greedy, he still takes money to do things.
There are many benefits to eating Lu Chen. It can be convenient, but it is convenient.
"Wait!"
When the soldiers guarding the city heard this, they turned around and returned.
After a while, the city gate opened.
A group of soldiers and horses came out surrounded by a general riding a tall horse.
"Who are you?"
The general had a strong back, a heavy body, armor, and a cold light on the spear in his hand. He looked like a murderer at first glance.
"Jinzhou City Lu Chen, according to the Holy Spirit's decree, come to join the army!"
"Now there is a letter written by the prefect himself!"
With that said, Lu Chen handed over Xu Dehai's handwritten letter.
When the general heard this, he winked at the guard beside him and motioned for him to bring it over.
After reading the content of the letter, the general nodded and said: "Come in!"
Lu Chen looked around with curious eyes.
This was his first time seeing ancient armies and border cities.
Naturally, I was filled with emotions.
It would be a waste of time to visit important frontier towns in person in my lifetime.
"Don't look around, and go on your way with peace of mind!"
When the general saw Lu Chen's appearance, he suddenly felt sarcastic.
Most of the people who can be sent here are not good people.
Or offended some big shot.
Such people could not survive more than a few days in the frontier before they were tortured to death.
Finally died under the enemy's cavalry.
Therefore, the general did not have a good look towards Lu Chen.
"yes!"
Lu Chen was free and easy, knowing that he was living under someone else's roof.
Following the general, Lu Chen came to the registration office to register.
The person who registered him was an older military captain.
"What's your name, where do you live, how old are you..."
It was still the same old question. After asking the question, he asked the sergeant in the tent to take Lu Chen to collect military uniforms, weapons and bedding, and he simply completed his enlistment.
At night, Lu Chen squeezed into the barracks to rest.
There are ten bunks arranged in a row.
Lu Chen glanced at the dirty and poor sanitary conditions and immediately regretted it.
However, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. Once it comes, it will be safe.
Holding the bedding and finding the only empty spot, Lu Chen put down his bedding.
There were nine other people in the barracks, chatting.
From the looks of it, he must not be from the sentry or baggage troops.
As for which department he belongs to, Lu Chen doesn't know.
Today I could only see Captain Dian writing and drawing on the roster, but in the end he was not told which unit he was in.
He probably knew that Lu Chen wouldn't last long, so he placed him casually.
"Little brother……"
At this time, a tall man with a beard saw Lu Chen minding his own business cleaning the bed, and walked up to say hello with a smile on his face.
Lu Chen turned around and looked at the ferocious man, and was immediately startled.
"Brother, what's the matter?"
Seeing that Lu Chen was willing to communicate, the big man showed an honest smile on his face.
"Are you joining the army today?"
Lu Chen nodded: "Yes!"
Seeing the big man hesitate to speak, Lu Chen suddenly became interested.
"Brother, what do you want to say to me?"
The big man nodded honestly: "Yes!"
"You must have offended someone!"
Lu Chen was stunned.
Subconsciously asked: "Are you the same?"
At this time, the soldiers who were watching in the barracks couldn't help it.
"Who isn't!"
"One more..."
"Damn dog officer, if you wait for me to go back..."
Before one person could finish speaking, his companion stopped him and prevented him from continuing.
When Lu Chen saw this, he immediately realized something was wrong.
"In our barracks, won't everyone be assigned here?"
Seeing the curiosity on Lu Chen's face, the big man shook his head helplessly: "You are really right!"
"Our barracks is called Storm Battalion!"
"The group of soldier leaders behind the scenes call us the Dead Man Camp!"
"Camp of the Dead?"
Lu Chen was puzzled: "What does it mean, the camp of the dead?"
The big man glanced at his other companions, who immediately surrounded him.
"We all offended the powerful and were sent here."
"The conditions in all the barracks around us are similar."
"After being sent here, those generals don't care whether they live or die."
"In addition to being responsible for our food and drink, the only thing left is to charge into battle and block the swords of the so-called 'regular troops'."
Lu Chen felt a chill in his heart: "We are just going to die in love?"
When the big man heard this, he slapped his thigh: "You are right!"
Then, his eyes dimmed again.
"These old brothers haven't been here long."
"The bones of those soldiers and brothers in the same barracks have been buried in the yellow sand, and their corpses are lying on the grassland."
"It means I'm just lucky. I've been able to escape for a few months. There's no way I'm going to die on the battlefield next time the Khitan barbarians attack!"
The atmosphere in the barracks was gloomy, and all the soldiers lowered their heads, feeling unfair and confused about their next fate.
After Lu Chen heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.
"well!"
"I should have known this was the case."
"Then haven't you ever thought about making military exploits to clear your identity as a stormtrooper battalion?"
Lu Chen suddenly had an idea and asked instead.
"I thought about it!"
"Why didn't you think about it!"
"But you also know that we ourselves are not welcome, and all we accept is life-threatening jobs. Let alone meritorious service, whether we can save our lives is a question."
Lu Chen disagreed: "Since ancient times, iron-blooded men have often appeared in frontier fortresses."
"The fact that Dongjiang City has been defended until now is certainly not a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death."
"Those who guard the border must be iron-blooded generals with great perseverance and character."
"If our identity is a certain death situation, then this achievement is the trump card to settle down and turn defeat into victory."
Everyone didn't understand what he was hearing, but they felt that Lu Chen seemed to be quite knowledgeable, and everyone admired him very much.
"In your opinion, what should we do?"
The bearded man asked.
In fact, he had been eyeing Lu Chen since he entered the barracks.
This young man is not like these rough guys, he looks more like a Confucian scholar.
It is said that scholars have many clever ideas, so he stepped forward to chat with the attitude of giving it a try.
Even if it doesn't work, there will be an acquaintance of a lonely soul on the run, and walking on the road to Huangquan will be lively.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chen seemed to have a solution.
"If you make great achievements, let your military achievements speak for themselves."
"As long as we survive to the end and win military honors, we will come out sooner or later."
A soldier threw cold water and said: "To put it lightly, we are all poor people with no power and power. How can we easily obtain military glory?"
Lu Chen smiled faintly and looked directly at the other person: "Prince General Xiang Ning has the guts!"
"Can't ordinary people be crowned kings, marquises, and ranked among the three Dukes?"
