Chen Jie's ancestor came from Yingchuan County, and was a famous local nobleman. Chen Jie's great-grandfather and grandfather all upheld the traditions and ethics of the Han people until their family was incorporated into the Shifu army.
The Chen family has always had no sense of belonging to the state of Wei, a country established by the Xianbei people, but they did not have the courage to flee south to join the country established by the Han people in the south. Therefore, when the Chen family was incorporated into the Shifu army because of their wealth, they were even given a gift. When the Xianbei surname was used, everything became ironic.
In the early years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Great Khan would incorporate some wealthy and literate Han families into the military households. This is a supreme honor for the Xianbei people, but in the eyes of the Han people, this is just a matter for the Xianbei people to fight. Money, to make plans, to ask the Han people to help and supervise the construction of Baigong.
Chen Jie's grandfather chose to commit a crime in order to avoid the treatment of being incorporated into the military household. He originally thought that sinners would not be allowed to join the army. As a result, the military government not only did not cancel his family's military household status, but also transferred their family from Yingyang's soldiers. His status suddenly dropped by the third rank, and he became a military household like "miscellaneous soldiers" in other people's mouths.
This was a complete blow to the Chen family. Chen Jie's father and uncles were all called to go on expedition, but because of this incident, he was looked down upon in the army. Even if he knew how to read and write, he was still depressed day by day in the eyes of everyone.
His father's nose was cut off on the battlefield, but he came back safely. His uncles were dead and disabled, none of them had a good end.
You can't do anything clever. The wrong thing to do to avoid a loss will eventually lead to a catastrophe.
He did not dare to forget the teachings his parents taught him since he was a child.
When he also reached the age of enlistment, he resolutely chose the most dangerous city of Montenegro as the start of his military brigade. This is the front line of Dawei and Rouran. Countless men have won honor and wealth from here, and countless men have died here and become "warriors" who fought against Rouran and died.
No matter what kind of result, Chen Jie did not resist.
The mistakes made by the ancestors due to fear of war and cowardice will be cleaned up by him.
Chen Jie noticed that Hua Mulan was attracted by his archery.
Most of the Wei Dynasty were cavalry, and the military households were also responsible for helping the army to raise horses, so it was not uncommon for people with good riding skills. But there are not many knights who can shoot on horseback.
No matter how conceited Chen Jie was about his martial arts and how much he wanted to make achievements, the reality suddenly destroyed his self-righteousness:
-On the battlefield, sometimes it is useless to rely on martial arts alone.
Rouran people are not vulnerable. On the contrary, because Rouran often fights in his own country, all Rouran soldiers live on spoils of war. These people are disgusting like locusts.
The first time he fought, he was surrounded by the Rouran people who had attacked from the side and were several times larger than them. He and his mates fought hard, but could only reluctantly deal with it. The Rouran man with the wolf head hat in the opponent's formation was like a vicious monster. He ordered the Rouran people to kill this one, and then ordered them to shoot The one who died, seeing the many high-spirited Pao Ze in the recruit camp die one by one, a burst of blood gushed out of Chen Jie's chest...
Even if I die, I will kill that wolf-headed man!
You can't die so suffocating!
Chen Jie used a rare weapon in the army - the horse lance.
This kind of weapon looks rudimentary. In fact, it takes three or four years to make. The lance may crack at the end. Most people will not make such a weapon at all.
Chen Jie's long lance was prepared by his family since he began to study art. He spent ten years with him. When he danced on a horse, it was really cold and fast like a gust of wind. Different weapons made their mark in the boot camp, starting with the fire chief from the very beginning.
"Ultimate Chaos"
And now, the owner of this horse lance is fighting to the death!
With red eyes, he stared straight at the wolf-headed Rouran leader, and he almost moved in his direction step by step with an aura that was not afraid of death.
As the saying goes, the strong are afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal is afraid of death, which is probably the case. It is astonishing to see the potential of man when he is cornered!
"Is that kid crazy?" Several Rouran soldiers looked at Chen Jie, who was still resisting. "He is courting death?"
"Whether it's courting death..." A squad leader raised the bow in his hand, "Enough to play with, it's time to let him die."
"I want his leather armor, it looks good at first glance!"
"I want his weapon!"
Chen Jie lifted his horse lance with one hand and stared at the wolf-headed leader in the distance. He is waiting, waiting for an opportunity to throw the horse lance in his hand!
His mates knew what he was going to do, and they had all seen his "flying lance" skills in the army. The recruits who were smothered by Rouran like a cat and a mouse were also aroused, and they covered him and continued to move forward regardless of their health.
For a time, more and more Rouran teams noticed this situation. They accelerated the speed of cutting their heads and stripping things, and began to run towards the few remaining Wei troops.
Military merit!
armor!
arms!
How can someone swallow such a large piece of fat!
closer, closer...
Whoosh!
Chen Jie took a deep breath, lowered his waist, twisted his arms, and threw his horse lance out!
"Protect the Centurion!"
"Kill that kid!"
With the expectations of dozens of people, Ma Lan flew towards the Rouran general who was a hundred steps away.
Then the wolf-headed man rode his horse back a few steps, and the long lance that should have shot him in the head came down in a beautiful parabola, nailing his horse's head to the ground at once.
The warhorse collapsed suddenly, and the wolf-headed general rolled on the ground twice with a frightened expression, grabbed a slave in front of him, and climbed onto his replacement horse.
"Kill the shooter!"
"Break them all out for me!"
Missed!
Actually missed!
It also angered the crawly people!
Chen Jie and Tong Huo all showed expressions of despair.
Suddenly, the sound of the earth shaking became louder and louder, to the point that the eardrums were bulging.
This is the sound of iron hooves pulling the ground. There are many Rouran people who don't nail their horseshoes, and they can make such a voice. Ten of them are cavalry from the Wei army.
"Charge with me!"
After a high-pitched horn sounded, a flag of the Great Wei appeared at the end of the Tupo.
saved!
As long as the generals over there charge down, they can live!
The sudden reinforcements inspired everyone's fighting spirit. Rouran people like to besiege and kill, but they are the least resistant to head-to-head battles. They have fought with Da Wei for countless years and know what kind of lunatic this opponent has.
Live to fight, die in battle.
"Go!" General Wolf Head looked at the flag in front of him, "Retreat! Retreat!"
"Let's go now?" Several Rouran centurions were unwilling to leave. This is the last Wei army here, and it is also the most well-equipped team.
The wolf-headed general glanced at the centurion with the same eyes as a dead man, then turned around and left first.
In the distance, Hua Mulan, who found that the recruits were surrounded, immediately organized her own team and launched a charge. The fate that just appeared on the recruits came to Rouran like a reversal.
Just on the slope where Rouran had just appeared, the team led by Hua Mulan plunged into the battlefield like sharp swords.
The figures of the friendly troops seemed to be by their side in a moment. Except for the general wolf-head who had already turned around and left with a lot of people, most of the Rouran soldiers stayed behind.
After all, their number is only half of them, and from the perspective of the flag, it is not a well-known general, it is estimated that it is only a general with a miscellaneous number.
There are many such generals in the Wei army. The tiger-headed and lion-faced are loyal, brave, benevolent, and righteous. They sound majestic, but in fact, they may only be young generals with less than 500 people.
But they soon found out they were wrong.
When the general at the head slashed, the terrifying force could almost split a person in half. And the cavalry behind him turned around as soon as they approached their friendly troops, took off their bows and arrows and shot them.
The tall figure was still mercilessly slashing and killing the enemy in front of the formation, and wherever he passed, a long blanket of flesh and blood quickly piled up.
Rouran people are terrified, they want to run.
Hua Mulan quickly took her elite to the front of the enemy, and by this time the enemy's leader had already run far away. At a glance, she saw the long lance that pierced the horse's neck. This black lance was like a lightning bolt from the sky. It penetrated the horse's head and slanted out from the horse's neck.
She steered the horse over, leaned down as she swept past the dead horse, and pulled up the long lance.
Chang Leng started, and the satisfying touch made Hua Mulan couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration.
"Good weapon!"
Her weapons were deteriorating quickly, and she would replace them with a new one almost every time she went to hand-to-hand combat. Her strength is too great, and while causing harm to others, she is also destroying the integrity of her own weapon.
The Rouran people have been defeated, and those who have not gone are left forever.
Now is the time for the Wei army to "clean up" the battlefield.
Cut off the heads, put a few knives on the undead, strip off their armor, and search the corpses for everything they can take away. Bury the enemy? That's superfluous. Vultures and wolves will devour their bones.
For Paoze, what they had to do was to dig a deep pit on the spot, throw the corpses of their own people into it, and then set foot on the ground, so that neither beasts nor enemies could find Paoze's body.
This process has been experienced many times for Mulan's team, so the process of "cleaning" the battlefield is fast and orderly, like locusts crossing the border.
For Chen Jie and the others, most of the buried were Paoze, who fought with them from the Black Battalion, and what they had to do was to follow the usual practice and wait for the reinforcements to finish picking things before "cleaning" them again.
Chen Jie and his co-fire had long since lost their strength, and now they were lying on the ground lazily watching the team.
"Although I would like to thank the support army for helping us, but the main army of our right army should be chasing the Rouran people now. Why are they on their way back to the camp?"
The recruits were ordered to return to the camp, while the regulars were to continue their pursuit. They encountered the enemy who set a trap on their way back to the camp. Because the vanguard troops who left the camp together were still fighting in the distance, everyone was mentally prepared to die in battle.
"Needless to say, it's probably that group again." Tong Huo, who knew the whole story, said mysteriously: "It's the general Hua under General Wang, who rarely pursues the Rouran people to further places, and never Go deep alone."
"They all called him 'The Timid General'."
"Coward? I don't think he's timid at all when he kills people!"
"He once said that he was afraid of death. Moreover, I heard that he told his soldiers that he did not like to change his soldiers frequently, so everyone must save their lives."
"It's no problem."
"It's wrong to be a soldier to be afraid of death! How can you kill the enemy if you are afraid of death!"
Chen Jie's hands and feet were limp and had little strength. Listening to the comments of his companions, he looked towards "General Hua" on the other side of the battlefield.
He sat up suddenly!
What is he holding with a look of admiration
Isn't that his horse lance
"Chen Jie, where are you going? Now is the time for the main army to clean up the battlefield." A Tonghuo tugged at his shirt worriedly, preventing him from acting recklessly.
"I'm not going to 'clean'. My horse was picked up by the general, and I have to go and get it back!" Chen Jie's most precious weapon is that weapon. If he hadn't thought he would die, he wouldn't let it Arms off!
"You're stupid, such a good Ma Leng, I won't pay you back if you change it. What's more, if you die, General Hua should take everything away." Tong Huo persuaded him in a low voice, "Anyway If you don't come back, you might as well sell it and say that this weapon is yours, but you are willing to give it to him. Although he is a 'timid general', he is born with divine power and is a rare warrior in the army."
"Why did I send him?" Chen Jie's eyes widened in disbelief, "That's my horse!"
"How do you prove it?" Tonghuo gritted his teeth to persuade him, "Don't fight with him. Even if we all 'die' here, the team that took revenge for us will be rewarded."
"You... What do you mean?" Chen Jie's eyes widened, "For a horse lance, we are going to be killed by our own people... What the hell are you thinking about!"
He always felt that this comrade was weird, and he was usually stingy in things, but he didn't know that he was so crazy!
If they wanted to benefit, they just waited outside the battlefield to wait for them to die before charging. Why should they jump out so early and take the risk to smash into the enemy? !
Stay away from him in the future.
"If you don't believe me, I'm fine, don't pull us together to be unlucky!" Seeing that he was a little angry, Tonghuo also scolded him a few words in his heart.
"If the general asks us who this Ma Lan belongs to, we won't testify for you!"
Hearing this, Tong Huo looked at each other in dismay, and a few said, "Weigui, isn't this bad?"
"Hmph, do you think everyone in the army is a Bodhisattva?"
Chen Jie was panicked by the talk of Tonghuo, and turned around and ran towards Mulan in the middle of the battlefield.
Unlike others, she didn't pick anything except her own lance. This was originally the prerogative of military generals. Just as the rescued person had to wait for the reinforcements to be selected first, the leading general also had the right to select the spoils first.
But he just leaned beside his horse, with a hint of impatience on his face, waiting for his subordinates to finish what they were supposed to do. I
It's just that in his hand, he has been holding his long lance.
At this time, Chen Jie's face was covered in blood, and there were enemies and his own. It was unexpected for such a group of guys who couldn't see clearly to stumble towards him, so the lieutenants on the left and right of Hua Mulan immediately drove forward and stopped him.
"Stop! Who!"
"If you have something to say, stand there and say it!"
Hua Mulan looked up and found that the blood-stained soldier was the most vicious man she had seen on the dirt slope.
Because of his deep impression, he did not show the arrogant expression like the others, but just stared at him with a slightly cold look:
"What's going to happen to Ben?"
From the moment Chen Jie saw that Hua Mulan was not in a hurry to search for the spoils, he felt that there was no hope of getting the lance back. This general obviously despises the tattered weapons and armor of these crawly people, and only loves his weapons.
In such a situation, how could he return his horse lance to him
And the courage he mustered up before, and the idea of using actions to prove that Tonghuo is nonsense, disappeared when he saw the lingering murderous aura of Hua Mulan.
It's not that he is timid, but that he really can't raise his head. Even the air around him seemed to solidify into substance, pressing him down with cold sweat all over his face.
Chen Jie opened his mouth under the terrifying aura of the general in front of him: "No... nothing..."
Chen Jie, you are a coward!
Woohoo, but the way he hacked that creepy centurion just now was scary! If he asks for Ma Lan, will he also be cut off? !
Hua Mulan was taken aback by his answer.
Immediately, she smiled knowingly and softened her voice.
"If you have something to say, it's fine."
Every time she charges to kill an enemy, she will enter a mysterious state, and her mental power will be extremely concentrated, which makes the enemy's speed slow down in her eyes. The sequelae of concentrating on killing the enemy is that this murderous aura will take a long time to dissipate, which has no major impact on her, but this body of evil spirit will indeed scare many people.
In fact, after she killed her, she wasn't in a good mood at all.
But even so, she firmly remembered not to take anger on others.
Everyone has times when they are in a bad mood, but letting one's emotions vent on others is more embarrassing than failing.
Chen Jie's fear grew stronger and stronger. Anyone who sees the murderous-looking general suddenly showing a wicked smile (?) that can scare a child to death and asks someone what's the matter, doesn't dare to speak
"You are its old owner? Believe it or not, I made it your 'relic'?"
In Chen Jie's heart, the general seemed to say this sentence in the next moment.
So he was cowardly.
"I, I, I... I just wanted to come to thank you..." he said stutteringly, "if you didn't come, we would all die here..."
Mulan would not be deceived by his words. When she entered the "martial arts" state, her attention was equally sharp.
So she realized that the soldier was probably here for something else.
He would come to talk to her at the risk of running into Shangguan, and it would definitely not be as simple as "thank you".
Perhaps it was because Mulan looked at him too seriously, and Chen Jie's stuttering became more serious.
"I-I-I-I'm fine, I-I-I'm going!"
"You..." Hua Mulan frowned, "Are you..."
"I'm leaving!"
"Is this Ma Lian yours? Because I see you are always looking this way."
Mulan spoke out.
Ruined!
Going to kill!
It's going to be a steal!
For a time, all kinds of terrible guesses that Tonghuo said appeared in Chen Jie's mind.
"This lance is mine!" Chen Jie's body shuddered because of the tension. "But you're the right horse for this lance, so I'm willing to..."
"take it."
"what?"
With some pity, Hua Mulan tipped Ma Leng in her hands. Such weapons are rare on this side of Montenegro.
"Take it. I had some doubts before. Rouran people prefer to use weapons such as clubs and hammer axes, but Ma Leng is commonly used by Han generals."
"Han people often say that 'a gentleman does not take what others like'. Since it is your weapon, it will be with you." Hua Mulan threw the horse lance in her hand.
For her, although this horse lance is easy to use, it is no better than a mace and a thick iron rod.
"Take it!"
"Huh? Hmm! Hmm!"
Chen Jie hurriedly took the weapon that Mulan threw not far away, and the moment Ma Leng took it, he couldn't help holding it into his arms.
This is his weapon. It was a weapon he had used for ten years, and the whole family had worked hard to build a weapon specially for him. He still wants to use it to make achievements and honor the lintel, what was he thinking about just now, and the thought of handing it over
Is it because he feels that this General Hua is the one who deserves it compared to himself
Or is his aura too terrifying
Chen Jie stared at him again, but felt that the murderous aura of this general Hua had subsided, and even his eyes were much calmer.
He heard General Hua smile and say:
"Such a good weapon, don't leave it again in the future."
"Yes! Yes!" The emotion that was lost and found was his tears welling up in his eyelashes. "Never leave my hands again!".
This is also an episode in Mulan's military career, but for Chen Jie, it is tantamount to earth-shaking changes in his life and values.
He took back his weapon in the eyes of his fellow fire full of doubt and disbelief, and laughed loudly at how he managed to conquer the heart of a gentleman with the belly of a villain.
For Chen Jie, what he got back was not only Ma Lan, but also the trust between Pao Ze and the general's love for the soldiers.
Faith, but also gratitude to the world.
His first battle was so hard and so dangerous, but he still got more precious things than trophies.
Why didn't his grandfather want to join the army
This is obviously such a beautiful place.
Since then, Chen Jie began to pay attention to this "General Flower". He will actively show every time General Hua comes to the black camp to train new recruits, just so that he can notice him.
I just don't know if I was too miserable in that battle. General Hua glanced at him several times, but never once recognized him as the soldier who was returned to Changqi.
Chen Jie was a little disappointed, but more unwilling.
He wants to become stronger, become stronger, walk up to him dignifiedly, and report his name.
He tried his best to get in front of her, and he didn't care whether he was "torn" by his leather armor or laughed at as a flatterer.
***
"My name is Chen Jie, please let me follow you!"
Mulan rubbed her forehead weakly.
This kid is here again.
"Chen Jie, I have rejected you many times. You are very brave, but I don't want to be a warrior with all your might, as long as you can protect your own life. When you fight, you go crazy, a warrior like you is everyone. They all hope to return to their command, why do you have to spend so much time on my army?"
"because… "
Chen Jie thought about it and shouted out in the simplest language.
"I admire you for being a man under the mark!"
…
Mulan was stunned.
The author has something to say: Small Theater:
Chen Jie's fear grew stronger and stronger. Anyone who sees the murderous general suddenly show a wicked smile that can scare children to death (?)
Mulan: (laughs) I chopped you off.
