Infinite Streamer

Lin Chong collected hundreds of horses and left the battlefield. He happened to meet a dozen injured old soldiers, most of whom were only in their twenties. They were called old soldiers because they had been in the army for more than five or six years. The humble veterans always said that they were lucky to survive, but it was not just luck that kept them alive.

The subtext of this question is how to survive on the battlefield. Unfortunately, bullets have no eyes, and there is no luck on the battlefield. We know that the mortality rate of new soldiers on the battlefield is very high, and most of those who survive are veterans. Why is this? Are veterans luckier than new soldiers, and bullets and cold weapons are more effective? Obviously not. As for the reason, it depends more on superb combat literacy, keen battlefield awareness and fearless courage. These are the real reasons that support veterans to survive in many battles. Therefore, every veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles is precious.

Soldiers in the Song Dynasty relied on military pay to support their families. Most of them had no fixed assets and were the poorest social class at the bottom. As the saying goes, "good men don't join the army." Unless they really have no other choice, children from good families would never join the army. The Song people also emphasized "three matchmakers and six betrothals," which resulted in most soldiers being unable to afford to marry. Rich families had three wives and four concubines, or even dozens of concubines. However, it was difficult for the warriors who defended their country to get married. This was the real situation at the time.

Seeing the bloodstained Lin Chong riding a tall horse and carrying a big spear chasing after them, the leading old soldier recognized it as General Lin, so he shouted loudly, and a dozen old soldiers pulled out their swords and spears on their horses, saying: "General Lin, no matter what, we will not work for Emperor Zhao anymore! No matter how hard we fight, we can't live like a human being!"

Lin Chong knew that the other party had misunderstood him, so he said loudly: "I, Lin Chong, am the same as everyone else. I don't want to work for the Zhao Song court anymore. I want to change my way of life! If you brothers have not figured out how to live in the future, follow Lin Chong and settle down in Shaohua Mountain first."

The leading old soldier whispered to the other old soldiers. After all, General Lin was a martial arts master, and it was better to have him leading the way than having too many people on their own. So they all agreed to go with Lin Chong to Shaohua Mountain to take a look first.

So Lin Chong and a dozen old soldiers came to the foot of Shaohua Mountain. Before they could even pay homage to the mountain gate, dozens of fast horses and more than a hundred minions rushed down from Shaohua Mountain.

There were three bandit leaders among them. Lin Chong knew that the leader was called Zhu Wu, the military strategist, the second was Chen Da, the leaping tiger, and the third was Yang Chun, the white snake.

I only heard the jumping tiger said impatiently: "Who are you and why did you come to Shaohua Mountain?"

Lin Chong said, "Little Leopard Head Lin Chong, we have nowhere to go. We originally wanted to come to Shaohua Mountain to become bandits, but we didn't expect that Shaohua Mountain already has an owner! I wonder who the three heroes on the other side are?"

Zhu Wu and his two companions gathered in the Shaohua Mountain. It was a helpless move. They were all wanted by the government for murder. In order to protect themselves, they could only become bandits. They were called heroes and they immediately responded, "I am Zhu Wu, the military strategist known as the God of War!"

"I am Chen Da, the Tiger Leaping Through the Stream."

"I am Yang Chun, the white snake."

Zhu Wu continued, "You need to practice martial arts. If you are really good at it, you can join my stronghold and become a leader."
