Chapter 8: Little Soldier Di Li
Luo Dacheng sat in the camp tent of the imperial guard camp and pondered silently.
It has been two months since he captured Princess Xingping last time and was allowed to enter the Imperial Army by En. However, no war has happened in the past two months, which has allowed Luo Dacheng to live idle for two months.
Because his daughter was captured by the Song army, Emperor Shengzong of Liao was forced to stop his plan to invade Song, released several Song generals captured in the past, and redeem Princess Xingping. The Song army also strengthened the defense of the border area, leaving the Liao army with no chance to take advantage of the plan to blitzkrieg in Song, so that Yangwuzhai's desperate resistance was in bankruptcy.
Luo Dacheng, who made this great contribution, was rejected because he was a criminal from a criminal who asked for merit for him and was only allowed to be a swordsman in the imperial guards and be promoted to commander of the sergeant. He would be promoted to the commander of the sergeant in the future because he had made contributions in the future.
Although he was unable to reach the sky in one step, Luo Dacheng was already very satisfied. His most trusted brothers all entered the imperial guards, so they could live a terrifying day without having to go to the death camp every day. They also hoped to accumulate merit in the army, and all rewards were the same as the original regular army. With the skills of Zhang Long and others, they would definitely be able to compete on the battlefield in the future, so that their parents who were eager to live in their hometown were crying with joy.
But, is he really satisfied just because of this?
At the beginning, or this is the case; however, people's hearts are bitter and unsatisfied. When one wish is satisfied, another wish will quietly rise.
Now, Luo Dacheng’s goal is to become a general!
This wish was quietly planted as early as when he received military training for the first time in his previous life. At that time, what made him sigh the most was that he was born in a peaceful era and could not follow his past ancestors, and he could dominate the world with his sword and iron horses, and show his life ambition!
Now, the author of Tiansha's fictional novel sent him back to the Song Dynasty, which instead gave him a chance to slowly expand his ambitions in the boring life of the Imperial Guards, implanting a dream into his heart: or one day, he can also write his name in the history of this world!
"Famous generals...Who are there famous generals in the Northern Song Dynasty? Probably the best one is Di Qing, who conquered the Western Xia in more than ten years... and there are also generals of the Yang family, but Yang Yanzhao is already dead, and Yang Wenguang is still young, and his future contributions are far inferior to his father. I wonder if one day, can my name be ranked alongside these famous generals?" Luo Dacheng thought silently, his eyes gradually becoming deep and distant.
During the Song Dynasty, it was indeed the era when famous generals were transferred to zero; the style of promoting literature and suppressing martial arts has been planted since the time of Emperor Taizu of Song. Just to worry about the rebellion and proclaiming emperor, the emperors and civil officials of the Song Dynasty spared no effort to suppress military generals, which also caused Liao, Jin, Xia, and Meng to bully and attack the Song Dynasty unscrupulously, which made the Song Dynasty courts faced the cowardice of foreign races, which was almost the highest in history.
Looking at the history of China, every time war comes, millions of people are slaughtered by foreign races, and even cooked for food, and the tragic phenomenon continues for thousands of miles. "It is better to be a peaceful dog than a person in troubled times." This is when war comes, white bones are everywhere and blood is stained with thousands of miles, and the people are sad and afraid of the people.
During the Battle of the Jin Dynasty to attack the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jurchens destroyed the Ming Dynasty, all the people in the world were slaughtered. It was common for tens of millions to reduce the population of tens of millions by 60% to 70%. It was a huge pain that was countless times more severe than what I saw every day. And when the Japanese tribe attacked China, hundreds of millions of Chinese people were slaughtered, killing so many people and slaughtering, and there was no one in the world.
Since you have entered the Northern Song Dynasty, if you can become a famous general and hold heavy troops in your hands, you can change history and unravel the painful cycle of Chinese people being slaughtered in the past dynasties, so that the vitality of Han Hua will not be destroyed by the hands of foreign races again and again!
However, to achieve such a career in this era of promoting literature and suppressing martial arts, the difficulties and obstacles in it should be far beyond imagination...
While he was silently pondering, a slender figure quietly walked into the tent, looking at his handsome face and his remote eyes, he couldn't help but feel dazed.
I don’t know when, whenever I see the sergeant’s appearance when he is pondering, the soldier’s heart will be pounding, and I don’t know why.
The sound of footsteps alarmed Luo Dacheng. He raised his head and saw that Di Li, the new recruit who walked into the tent, was his subordinate.
Since Ma Han was not healed due to his injury, as the sergeant commander, his subordinates had added a newly recruited recruit in addition to their original three brothers.
Because he joined the army by himself, not criminals or refugees, Di Li was not incorporated into the cannon fodder soldier, but entered the imperial guards and was sent to Luo Dacheng's army to obey his command.
This soldier is pretty and looks about fourteen or fifteen years old. His martial arts are pretty good. Like Zhang Long and others, he is also a family-born martial arts. Under Luo Dacheng's order, Suli practices martial arts with everyone and can tie Zhang Long and others. However, according to Luo Dacheng's observation, Di Li seems to have not used all his strength and always looks at ease, which makes Luo Dacheng curious about his family-born martial arts.
In the camp, Luo Dacheng's eyes fell on Di Li's face. Looking at the clear and bright big eyes on his pretty face, he couldn't help but jumped slightly and said to himself: "What are you doing with such big watery eyes for a boy? Fortunately, I am a decent person, otherwise I will feel better if I fall into the hands of other officials!"
Di Li was embarrassed by his gaze, turned his face slightly, and whispered: "Boss, the water is coming, wash your face!"
Luo Dacheng noticed the copper basin he was holding, smiled and nodded, bent down, and began to wash his face in the basin.
Since joining the regular army, Zhao Hu and others have been under much less restraint. In addition to normal exercises every day, they will stroll around when they have free time, chatting with other imperial soldiers, and throwing all the affairs that served Luo Dacheng to the new recruit Di Li.
Di Li was well-behaved. Since becoming Luo Dacheng's personal orderly soldier, he served him meticulously, which was much more careful than the original Zhao Hu and others. Luo Dacheng sighed comfortably. No wonder so many people wanted to be high-ranking officials. Now he has just become a small sergeant commander, and there is such a well-behaved soldier to serve him. If he becomes a general in the future, wouldn't he have dedicated people to serve everything except leading troops to fight, so he no longer has to worry about it?
After washing his face in the basin, he wiped his face clean with the towel in Di Li's hand when suddenly the sound of footsteps came, and he was extremely rapid and quickly broke into the tent.
Luo Dacheng raised his head alertly, but saw that it was Zhang Long and Zhao Hu and the other two rushed into the camp, with excitement on their faces and a little trembling. He shouted at Luo Dacheng: "Boss, Liao Gou has begun to mobilize troops, as if he is preparing to attack. General Mu ordered us to prepare immediately and line up to meet the enemy!"
Luo Dacheng stood up suddenly, his eyes began to shine.
Now, is the time for me to make achievements in the army as a member of the regular army?
………………………………………………………………………
Above the wilderness, two armies lined up their formations and met from afar, with a terrifying and terrifying aura spreading between the heaven and the earth.
Luo Dacheng stood on the battlefield, in the formation of the Song army, holding a knife and shield, looking at the Liao army opposite, his heart began to beating, as if he was on the battlefield for the first time.
