Chapter 22: Military Merit of the Fifth Class

(Thanks to Li Luoqing, Tianjie Xiaofeng, the running homeless, and the golden cicada chenjin for the rewards of several children's shoes, thank you.) )

The road was bloody, and only the scar-faced second master was left in the back of the line. He was the only one left after the ten bandits, and the scarred face who had his ears cut off seemed to be a little disbelieving when he saw Li Jing kill them all with monkey cheeks.

Li Jing pulled out the feather arrow from the back of the monkey's cheek and walked towards him with a fierce face, the tip of the newly pulled arrow was still dripping with the blood of the big boss. Scarface, who has always been hard, seems to have collapsed, and the fierceness in his heart is gradually disappearing.

Li Jing stood in front of Scarface, and Li Shishi and Qiusheng immediately held Scarface on the left and right, kicked and beat him to kneel in front of Li Jing.

Scarface's whole body trembled, looked up at Li Jing, and said tremblingly: "You actually killed so many of our brothers in Xihuo Village, and also killed the big boss, the brothers of Xihuo Village will not let you go." ”

"Xihuo Village won't let us go? Even your boss has died at our hands, do you think we'll be afraid of the rest of the minions? ”

"It's not just Xihuo Village, this time we received the hero post from Zhendonghai. Kill us, and you will get into trouble with Zhendonghai, and they will avenge us. Scarface had already guessed his end, and at the last moment, his eyes were full of viciousness.

Li Jing held the straight blade of the horizontal knife with both hands, the oblique tip of the knife reached the neck cavity of Scarface, and with both hands, the horizontal knife was slowly inserted into Scarface's chest from top to bottom, until it reached the hilt.

Scarface couldn't make a full sound in his throat, blood kept pouring out of his mouth, his face was swollen and red, and his forehead was bruised. Li Jing violently pulled the horizontal knife upward, a stream of blood spurted out, and the whole body strength of the scarred face seemed to be out of his body with this draw. His face was contorted, his body was weak, and eventually he lost all his strength and his hands hung weakly. The whole person fell to the ground, his eyes gradually dulled, and only the most convulsions of his body remained.

After wiping the horizontal knife on Scar's face a few times, Li Jing put the knife back into its sheath and snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter if you are Xihuo Village or Zhendonghai, since you are right, it is your life and death." ”

When the horizontal knife was retracted into the scabbard, Li Jing's whole body strength seemed to disappear. He sat on the ground with his butt on his head, and his whole body felt like he was out of strength. In addition to powerlessness, there are some passionate passions in my heart, which cannot be extinguished for a long time.

This kind of bloody and knife killing is thrilling, but it also arouses an unquellable feeling in Li Jing's heart. This seems to have been immersed in a long time, and has been waiting for the power of awakening. Could that be all he was looking forward to?

The others were no better than Li Jing, Xiao Shi, Qiu Sheng, Xi Gou and Xiao Shan were not injured, but all four of them were sitting on the ground at this time, feeling their physical reactions after the first battle and the first killing.

For others, the situation is much worse. Captain Wang had seven or eight wounds on his body, and he was lying on the ground at this time bandaged by Zhang Zuoyi, who had only suffered a few minor injuries. The most seriously injured was Wang Liang, who had one arm cut off and an arrow wound in the other shoulder. The other four kings were stabbed in the leg, the other in the lower abdomen, and the other two were only slightly wounded.

In this battle, Li Jing has seen a lot of problems. There are ten recruits in Wangli Village, and they actually have a good foundation. But at the critical time, Xiaoshi did not run around because they followed him, and twisted into a rope, and as a result, not only were they not injured, but they also killed the enemy. And Wang Liang and the others didn't have a backbone of the command at all, and they ran around as soon as they encountered bandits, and as a result, they became a plate of scattered sand. If it weren't for Captain Wang's desperate resistance for so long, it is estimated that everyone would have finished today.

Looking back at this time, Li Jing still feels that it is a miracle that everyone can survive until now. An officer and a scribe with ten recruits who did not even have weapons were ambushed by ten bandits, and in the end, they did not die a single one, but wiped out all the bandits, which is a little unbelievable to say the result.

Li Jing was still recalling and summarizing the battle, but Captain Wang, who had already bandaged it roughly, had already taken the initiative to come over.

"Brother just turned the tide and helped the building to fall! It's amazing, my brother not only has a magic archery skill, but what is even more rare is this calmness, if it weren't for you today, we would all die here. Captain Wang limped over and praised loudly.

Li Jing hurriedly got up, bent down and bowed: "Captain Wang praises falsely, and he is ashamed to be ashamed." ”

"It's polite, brother, my surname is Wang, the name is very beautiful, if the brother doesn't dislike it, it's good to call the brother directly in the future." Captain Wang said eagerly.

"How dare you climb high, you are a school captain, and I am just a villager in a regiment."

"It's just a captain from the ninth grade, a petty official with the size of a sesame seed, not to mention. But brother, you have made a great contribution this time, killing five thieves by yourself, and two of them are still the big boss and the second boss of Xihuo Village. This brother of Xihuozhai has also heard of it for a long time, it is said that it is an old bandit in Fangdeng County, who often wanders around and loots, and suppresses them inexhaustibly, but he does not think that now he has died at the hands of your brother and me. ”

"The imperial court has regulations on killing the enemy and suppressing bandits, and the united soldiers are ranked fifth class, first class, and 50 silk horses; second class, 30 horses of silk; the third class, 10 yuan of money; Fourth, money 5 runs; The fifth class, money 3 times. In general, the battlefield kills the enemy at the first level, which is the fourth class, and so on. This time, the brothers should be the first class and rewarded 50 horses of silk. And it's not just a reward, at least you have to give a lieutenant from the ninth grade, maybe, it is possible to directly award a lieutenant at one time, then we are at the same level. ”

In the late Tang Dynasty, the imperial court and the feudal towns had a clear price for the soldiers' exploits in killing the enemy. In fact, the price of the forbidden army and Guan Jian's military merits in killing the enemy was at least double that of the Tutuan.

Li Jing secretly calculated in his heart that each horse of silk was worth 800 yuan now, and 50 horses were worth 40,000 yuan. Money is still a trivial matter, and what excites him the most is the possibility of being directly promoted to an official position. It is important to know that although all feudal towns now use the Tutuan as a professional army, in fact, the Tutuan does not belong to the registered soldiers. Therefore, Tutuan generally does not have a formal official position, unless it is to fight in war and make meritorious contributions.

The lieutenant of the accompaniment is a martial arts rank from the ninth grade, which is not a real position, but just a loose rank of a definite grade. Moreover, it is also the lowest thirtieth grade among the nine-grade and thirty-level official positions in Datang Liu. But at least, this is a real rank. Li Jing's father has worked hard all his life, but he is just a miscellaneous county clerk who is outside the stream, and he has not even earned such the lowest official rank from Jiupin. And now, on Li Jing's first day in the army, he killed five bandits, not only may he get a reward of 40,000 yuan, but he may also be directly promoted to the rank of the lower rank, which makes him unhappy.

"All of this is due to the captain's good command, proper arrangement, taking the lead, and leading us to fight to the death, so that we have this feat. The little ones are greedy for merit, everything is the credit of the captain. Li Jing said cautiously, although he had been in contact for a short time, he felt that this Captain Wang was still a good officer, but he was still cautious.

"Don't say these polite words to me, if it weren't for you, Lao Tzu's life would have been gone. It's too late for me to thank you, so how can I rob you of your military merits. I remember that your name seems to be Li Jing, right, I don't know what the words are on the table? ”

"The youngest surname is Li Mingjing, the cousin is Ji Yu, and he is the third oldest in the family."

Wang nodded again, "Ji Yu, it's really a good piece of jade, and it will be unlimited over time." Okay, let's clean up the battlefield first and go back to Chishan Town first, so as not to have another accident. ”

Li Jing was about to respond, but suddenly heard a burst of applause, and then a deep voice said slowly: "It seems that a good show has just happened here, but unfortunately it is a step late, why should you be in a hurry to leave!" ”
