Chapter 10: Promotion to a higher position
"Little thief." Shen Qingzhou had just killed a general who had more weapons and armor than Guldo, and was even protected by someone. This was the third somewhat threatening person he had encountered this time, and he was shouted at because of his real energy.
On a battlefield of 10,000 or 20,000 people, the death of dozens or hundreds of people is insignificant, but seeing an infantryman in private armor charging directly into the cavalry camp and everyone failing to capture him for a long time is a bit conspicuous.
A senior general of the Nanqing side had already discovered Shen Qingzhou's presence, said "good boy", and continued to kill the enemy.
Shen Qingzhou also went crazy with killing. At the beginning, he didn't know how strong he was, so he took it easy. Then he found that the cavalry was just like that, so naturally he started to get too excited.
A cavalryman has much more military merits than an infantryman, but generally no one is as despicable as Shen Qingzhou. Even though he is so strong, he still does this. The main reason is that he has no self-awareness.
"Come and die." Seeing a bearded man on the other side coming towards him, Shen Qingzhou did not dare to be careless. He did not think that he was invincible, nor did he block too much. He wanted to see what happened first.
He decided to learn how to ride a horse when he returned. He was young and had not had the opportunity before, but now that he was going to the battlefield, he must be careful.
The big man watched the other party dodge and slashed with his left. Shen Qingzhou knew that he had to block it, but he was also prepared to use the opponent's force to counter attack.
What? If the opponent is a grandmaster and kills him in one shot, then he will die. He has a myth, so he will go back to reality directly. He is not afraid of death, but just a little regretful.
No one could save him. There were indeed quite a few Nanqing soldiers behind him, but everyone had their own enemies, and these people were specifically coming for him.
After receiving the knife, Shen Qingzhou felt a shock at the base of his palm. It was dangerous. He might not be able to win, but the opponent didn't seem to be that strong either.
"Good little thief." The opponent chopped at him with a knife again. Shen Qingzhou blocked it again and took a few steps back to release his strength. After releasing his strength, he also chopped down a few soldiers who wanted to get closer.
"You guys go away." The big man also realized that the soldier came here for nothing to contribute military merit to Shen Qingzhou. With other people around, he couldn't do anything. Shen Qingzhou had already gone deep into the enemy's territory and was a bit careless.
"Let's see how many rounds you can take me. Give me your life." Next, the big man chopped down at Shen Qingzhou, leaving an afterimage. Shen Qingzhou had no energy to do anything else.
Fortunately, the opponent only attacked him from one direction, and Shen Qingzhou did not think about attacking, he just wanted to protect himself. The opponent could not break through the surrounding area for a while. After breaking through the body-building method, he was no longer an ordinary person.
He slowly realized that something was wrong. Why did he suddenly feel that the opponent's knife was not so heavy, and his physical strength recovered a little? He felt that it must be the power of Shenhua. He felt that the blood in his body was much more active than before.
The big man also felt something was wrong. What was going on with this soldier? He could see that he had no true energy and was relying entirely on physical resistance. He was a master among the fifth rank, so why couldn't he defeat him in such a short time?
After massaging for a while, he took at least thirty blows. It was too fast. Shen Qingzhou also felt that the opponent was not as strong as he imagined, so he fought back directly.
The bearded man was anxious and annoyed. He didn't expect to lose to a small soldier. The opponent was definitely not an ordinary person. Logically speaking, shouldn't you be a general? He knew that he was a little careless. He had just used more than thirty swords to explode with his true energy, and now he felt a little embarrassed.
Shen Qingzhou did have the advantage. His physical body was not that invincible, but his identity as a small soldier was too confusing to others.
Shen Qingzhou used the same trick again, fighting while moving forward. By the time the opponent realized something was wrong, before he could even utter a word, Shen Qingzhou had already chopped down his horse.
But he was a fifth-rank master after all, so he was not thrown out. He landed lightly on the ground and even stabbed Shen Qingzhou.
Shen Qingzhou didn't give in either, as long as he couldn't run away. Then they started to attack each other. The big man touched the sword on his waist several times, but was broken by Shen Qingzhou's fierce attack.
Shen Qingzhou didn't have to worry about accidental injuries, he could just do it directly. On the contrary, the bearded man was a little restrained. By the time everyone made some space, Shen Qingzhou had already completely adapted to the opponent's strength. There was not much difference in the first place, it was just that Shen Qingzhou didn't understand.
He was quite cunning, and then deliberately pretended to be exhausted. The opponent had no doubts. It was certain that Shen Qingzhou had no true energy, and relied entirely on physical strength. Not to mention him, even a grandmaster would be fooled, but the grandmaster could directly attack and kill Shen Qingzhou, but he couldn't. By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late. Suddenly, the offense and defense switched, and Shen Qingzhou became the attacker, and then he used the same trick again.
However, this big man is not an ordinary person. Many people have come to rescue him, and there seems to be a master of true Qi among them.
But everyone has an opponent, and Shen Qingzhou will not miss this opportunity. He suddenly mobilized his blood and energy, and this time it was not passive. Then the big man saw this already burly soldier, and his arms suddenly became bigger. They fought again, and his weapon was swept away. When he wanted to take the sword, he could already see his headless body.
Shen Qingzhou reached out and grabbed the other person's head. The other person should be an important person, so he had to take the credit for the victory.
"You dare?" "Well done." A series of clattering sounds were heard, some from the other side and some from his own side. Shen Qingzhou planned to run away directly. He had already gone deep into the enemy. If the enemy had not challenged him one-on-one, he would not have dared to go so far.
"Sound the retreat." Shen Qingzhou didn't have to worry about anyone causing trouble if he ran away. Although the normal supervision team wouldn't be able to say anything even if he ran away, he knew that the Supervisory Council could interfere in the military camp.
……
"General, the person has been brought here." After returning to the camp, he was directly taken to a military tent.
"What's your name? What's your position?" asked a middle-aged man in exquisite armor who was sitting in the main seat in the center of the military tent.
"I am Shen Qingzhou from the Vanguard Battalion Management Team." Shen Qingzhou said with a fist.
"Young hero." The middle-aged man was a little unhappy. Although such a grand ceremony as kneeling was unnecessary, you are just a small soldier.
But he is a meritorious official after all, and the news has spread throughout the entire military camp. He is a strong soldier with the ability to break through the enemy's formation, and the main goal is to win him over.
The most important thing is that the other party killed one fifth-grade and two fourth-grade strongmen alone, which gave him some privileges.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that in movies and TV shows, the ninth rank is the only one and the eighth rank is outdated, but that is in Kyoto. In the border army, the fourth and fifth ranks are already qualified to be included in the account.
As for the sixth and seventh rank, they are already masters. This is the reality, especially when it comes to killing in a dangerous situation. Although it may be because the opponent does not care about the soldiers, credit is still credit.
"The villain dare not."
……
Kyoto.
"Report, great victory at the border."
"reward."
Shen Qingzhou received a new appointment. His merit in breaking through the enemy's enemy lines directly promoted him to the position of captain of the Vanguard Battalion, commanding 1,200 men in the Vanguard Battalion.
