    ps: Thanks to Douban Dad, Eagle Zhou, and Leng Yingyue for the rewards.  Ren Suihuan saw a Liang Jun directly opposite who was turning around, shouting inaudible words, and dozens of companions gathered around him.  When Ren Suihuan rushed forward, the Liang Jun came over with a spear. Ren Suihuan waved his shield to block the attack, and then cut off his head with a horizontal knife in his hand.  Martial arts are passed down from generation to generation in the Ren family. Ren Suihuan strikes quickly and uses a tricky angle. He is planning to strike with his sword, but the enemy can easily jump back, causing Ren Suihuan's sword to miss.  Ren Suihuan was a little surprised. Although the enemy was agile, how could he retreat when the two armies were fighting?  If it was Ren Suihuan, he must have drawn his gun and raised it, and he would not be able to retreat if he was alive - this was also the instructor's strict order.  Since the enemy retreated, well, Ren Suihuan was not polite. He retracted his sword and slashed directly at the enemy on the right, immediately cutting off an arm.  Ren Suihuan gained meritorious service for the first time he participated in the battle. Ren Suihuan's confidence greatly increased. Before the enemy in front could pounce back again, he aimed at the enemy on the left before he could attack again. He stretched out his hand and stabbed him again For three consecutive days on the high ground of Xuanhuqianliang  After a bloody battle, Ren Suihuan was lucky enough to survive.  In the past three days, Liang Jun's offensive became more and more fierce. In the end, it was a continuous attack regardless of casualties.  Ren Suihuan witnessed with his own eyes the brothers who were replenishing the Jiadu Left Team of the Sixth Battalion fell one after another, then the Jiadu Right Team, the Bdu Left Team, and the Bdu Right Team During this period, he also saw with his own eyes that four brothers  Unable to bear the bloody torture of the brutal fighting, he turned around and ran away. He was caught by the correctional officer and executed on the spot.  Preliminary estimates show that Liang Jun lost at least 2,000 men in the past three days, and the battle loss exchange ratio with Yan Jun was about four to one.  At this point in the battle, Ren Suihuan was no longer a soldier of the Sixth Replenishment Battalion. In fact, the Sixth Replenishment Battalion had become an empty frame, waiting to recruit new soldiers in a certain place in Hebei in sequence.  All the brothers of the Supplementary Sixth Battalion who were able to survive after participating in the battle with Ren Suihuan were integrated into the left battalion of the Dingzhou Army's left wing front regiment.  This restored Zuoying's strength to more than 500 men.  The original captain of the left team of the supplementary battalion, Adu, was appointed as the deputy of the right team of the left battalion, Bdu. Ren Suihuan's team leader had died in the war, and a new corps leader was transferred, who was the team leader of the original supplementary battalion, Bdu.  On the evening of the third day, the Dingzhou Army Zuoxiang Command issued an order that all officers and soldiers in Zuoying would be promoted to one rank, and their original military merits would continue to be retained. This order immediately caused cheers on the battlefield.  According to the promotion regulations of the Merit Examination Office of the Education and Education Department of the General Administration of Military Staff, soldiers are classified as private soldiers when they first join the army, and after half a year they are classified as auxiliary soldiers.  It will take another six months to become a regular soldier.  However, if the military merit reaches the twelfth level, there is no need to consider the issue of years and the transfer will be directly carried out.  Ren Suihuan was assigned to the Zuoying Bingdu of the Dingzhou Army's Left Wing Front Regiment. Bingdu has now accumulated many meritorious service and received ten rounds of honors. This means that after the war, Bingdu can record a thousand levels of merit.  Ren Suihuan had just been incorporated into Bingdu three days ago. Of course, he could not receive the highest honors like the surviving old Bingdu soldiers. However, he had killed five enemy soldiers by himself, and nine enemies in total with his teammates.  Although the Yan army's military merit is not mainly based on the number of heads, but calculated this way, his merits will be indispensable in the post-war merit evaluation.     therefore.  Zuo Xiang's promotion order meant that Ren Suihuan's rank was promoted from private to auxiliary more than two months in advance. At the same time, he could also participate in the division of Bingdu's thousand-level military merit, even if he could not be promoted to a full soldier immediately.  I'm afraid it won't be too long.  As a result, Ren Suihuan was even more looking forward to the subsequent battle.  But it didn¡¯t take long for Ren Suihuan¡¯s expectation to come true.  Another military order was issued to the front camp position, and the front camp immediately evacuated the position, and the position was replaced by the new army.  The excitement and stimulation disappeared without a trace in an instant. Ren Suihuan couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or relaxed, so he evacuated the front beam that had been stationed for three days in a daze.  After descending from the front beam and retreating through the main beam, the Zuoying did not stop and continued to bypass the rear beam, exiting Xuanhu and retreating to Niushan, the supporting point behind the battle line.  That night, officers above Bingdu¡¯s captain gathered in the military tent in Dutou and convened a military merit review meeting. The review meeting lasted for more than an hour before ending.  Randomly, Ren Suihuan's team leader came back to convene the brothers for another meeting to break down the military achievements.  A total of ninety-level military merits have been allocated to the group, which must be distributed among nine brothers. According to the full establishment, the group should have ten people, and there is still one person missing.  The brothers spoke one by one, both talking about themselves and recommending others. In fact, everyone was fighting together, and everyone knew each other's performance well.  After a brief discussion, the team leader drew up a distribution plan, and the brothers all nodded in agreement.  If the gang leader's plan is unfair, brothers with objections can also appeal to Pontued Joining the Army, and Joining the Army will intervene in the investigation based on the complaint.  Regardless of whether the appeal is successful or not, it would be ugly to cause trouble, so generally speaking, the gang leader would not suppress or exclude anyone easily.  Ren Suihuan is undoubtedly skilled and brave in combat.It is a fact recognized by the brothers that he has beheaded many people. Therefore, during the evaluation, he was rated sixteenth level, second only to two veterans. These two veterans were also the only ones left in the group since Zuoying guarded the front beam of Xuanhu.  Two old brothers.  The wounded soldiers who were carried off had their own way of recording their merits, and they didn't need to worry about it.  After all this calculation, as long as this plan is submitted, Ren Suihuan can be promoted to a regular soldier again, and at the same time, he will still have a fourth-level military merit in his hand.  Ren Suihuan is quite satisfied with this. As long as he waits for another year, or reaches the twelfth level of military merit, he can be recommended to attend the military academy. When he graduates, he can become an officer with the rank of lieutenant in the army!  Ren Suihuan began to fantasize about joining the battle quickly, striving to enter the military academy as soon as possible, so as to honor the ancestors of the old Ren family.  Unfortunately, Ren Suihuan's illusions were shattered again. After resting for two days in Niushan, Zuoying received a military order to escort a group of baggage back to Gaoping.  Niushan is the supporting point along the line between Jiepailing, Xuanhu and Shizuitou. A large amount of grain and baggage are accumulated. From the moment the military order was received, the entire Niushan became a huge construction site, not for construction, but for demolition.  Catapults, lead trains, rams, ballistas, antlers, wooden villages, etc. were all dismantled one by one and loaded onto carts. Even the arrow towers, village walls, etc. were no exception. All the trenches under the mountainside were filled in, and all the ropes were installed.  Collect them all Are you going to retreat all the time?  Is the war ahead going unfavorable?  Ren Suihuan was puzzled. He felt that although the offensive of the coalition of princes was indeed fierce, the Yan army could completely defend it. Why would the superiors want to retreat?  As a soldier who was not even an officer, Ren Suihuan didn't understand what happened. He asked the team leader privately, but he didn't know either. The brothers' eyes were full of doubts.  Escorting the long convoy, Zuoying returned to Gaoping.  When they arrived at Gaoping, Ren Suihuan heard a statement that the battle situation at Jiepailing was unfavorable and most of the positions were lost.  The people stationed at Jiepailing are the left wing of the Youzhou Army. The brothers are all talking privately, saying that the Youzhou Army can be regarded as the army of the King of Yan even though it is an army stationed in Youzhou, but I am afraid that they have stayed in that bustling city for too long.  , each and every one of them has become an old soldier, unable to even fight.  Some people also say that it was Zhu Youning's army that attacked Jiepailing, and it was the first-class main force under the command of King Liang. It seems that King Liang even used the hall and Yuan Cong's troops to help this time. It cannot be blamed that the Youzhou army failed to defend.  live.  Jiepailing is located between Gaoping and Zezhou City. It has always been a strategic point that the Yan army and the allied forces of the princes have repeatedly competed for.  Whether it is Xuanhu, Shizuitou, or even Niushan in the rear, they are all auxiliary areas to support the battle at Jiepailing.  Here, the Yan army and the allied forces of the princes fought fiercely for three months, and countless brothers died or were injured.  If Jiepailing is lost, the entire Gaoping will have no shield. For the coalition of princes who lack cavalry, they will find a springboard to hoard military weapons. The situation in Gaoping will become quite dangerous.  The discussion in the army gradually became noisy, reaching its peak when Gaoping finally showed signs of abandoning the defense - the General Administration of Military Staff began to relocate.  Soon, the front battalion received military orders to cross Danzhu Ridge via Changping Passage and retreat north to Shihou Fort.  Before the evacuation, Zuoying conveyed a strict order from the General Administration of Military Staff. All armies were strictly prohibited from discussing the reasons for the northward retreat in private. Anyone who disturbed the morale of the army would be killed without mercy.  At this point, this wave of discussion has temporarily subsided.  Go out along Gaoping, go north to the arrow, then enter Changping Passage, walk along the western foot of Danzhu Ridge, pass Si Zhuang, and arrive at Changping Village at noon.  After resting briefly in Changping Village for an hour and having lunch, Zuoying set off again, crossing Tumen Ridge to the north and arriving at Shihoubao in the evening.  Danzhu Ridge is the boundary that separates Zelu and Zezhou. Compared with the east side, the road on the west side of Danzhu Ridge is the flattest and widest, suitable for marching, and it was also a long and flat passage in ancient times.  More than a thousand years ago, Qin and Zhao fought fiercely in Shangdang. The Zhao army fell into the Qin army's plan and was besieged here.  Danzhu Ridge can also be bypassed from the east side, but it is not suitable for large armies to march, and there is a key to the Huguan Pass there, so it is not an option for combat.  Therefore, the strategic location of Shihou Fort, located at the northern end of Changping Passage, is extremely important.  Hedong camp has been building Shihou Fort for decades. Since the year before last, Shangdang's camp has been here and the major ministry camp has been here until today. The entire Shihou Fort has become a huge defensive location.  When Zuoying arrived at Shihou Fort, it was extremely busy. The lights in the fort were brightly lit, endless vehicles poured into the fort, and large groups of Yan Army soldiers gathered here.  The Shihou Fort is a defense group composed of more than ten forts and villages. Zuoying did not enter the fort group. The defense forces have been allocated to each fort and there is no need for them to join.  After Zuoying found a place to wait for a while, an officer came to pick him up and led Zuoying through the forts to the rear.  Countless camps were built behind the forts. The front camp rushed to an empty camp and immediately smelled the aroma of meat.  There were already dozens of large pots hanging on the firewood, simmering thick broth for who knows how long.  After a hearty meal, Ren Suihuan gradually fell asleep due to fatigue. The whole camp was silent and heavy.Like silence.  (To be continued)
