At dusk, the sun went down. The desperate shouts of the soldiers were no longer heard in the barracks. The soldiers sat around the fire, eating meat, drinking wine, and talking about random things.

Wu Qiyuan tore off a leg of lamb from the roasted lamb rack on the fire, and put the browned lamb leg into Wu Qiyuan's mouth. Wu Qiyuan wiped the oil off his mouth with his hand. He squatted next to Xu Ziyi and asked curiously, "Brother, what did you tell your family?"

Xu Ziyi, who was sitting on a rock, squinted his eyes, as if thinking about something. Then he stood up and said loudly, "My son is going to fight in the war and make merit. When he gets the reward, he will go home and marry a wife."

"Hahahaha." The soldier next to him laughed out loud when he heard Xu Ziyi's words.

Wu Qiyuan blinked his eyes and said in disbelief: "Brother, did you really say that?" Most of the children who left the village are loyal and simple-minded.

Wang Sheng shook his head, patted Wu Qiyuan's head, and said with a smile: "Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?" Then he pointed at Xu Ziyi and said: "Do you think he would say that?" After he finished speaking, a group of soldiers burst into laughter again.

Xu Ziyi sat down again, touched Wu Qiyuan's head, and said with a smile: "I didn't tell my family because I didn't want them to worry. What about you?" Wu Qiyuan smiled and replied: "Brother, I'm the same as you."

Yes! None of these soldiers wanted their families to worry about them, and because Beiliang took good care of the families of the dead soldiers, they could go to the battlefield to kill the enemy without any worries, and their families would at least not starve to death.

The next day, the sun rose slowly from the east. These soldiers who had been trained for a month would be deployed to the real battlefield. Today, the sun rose very slowly, as if it did not want these young people to lose their lives so quickly.

Xu Ziyi stayed awake all night, and so did the new recruits. When they woke up in the morning, they all turned into giant pandas.

In the distance, an old man with his waist bent was walking towards the drill ground, and behind him was a middle-aged man who was limping. The old man was the veteran who was responsible for cooking for the new soldiers, and the middle-aged man was the veteran's child. Because he was born with a disability and could not join the army, he followed the old man to cook for the army.

The old soldier came over and saw that the young people who were full of energy a month ago now had less arrogance in their eyes. The old soldier felt reluctant to see them go, but he could only pray in his heart that they could come back to Pingnan.

The old soldier narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Little guys, it's time to eat. This is your last meal here, so make sure you eat your fill."

The middle-aged man put down his burden and put away two large wooden barrels. Wu Qiyuan asked curiously, "Old soldier, what's in these?"

There were lids on the two barrels, but steam was coming out of them. The old soldier slowly opened the lids and said with a smile, "See for yourself."

After he finished speaking, Wu Qiyuan quickly put his head into the wooden barrel, and then said happily: "It's the braised pork." As he was about to reach out to grab it, the old soldier picked up the spoon and hit him. With a scream, "Ah!" "How can you hold the bowl in an unruly manner?" The old soldier said with a smile.

Then a group of soldiers picked up their bowls and rushed to the wooden barrel. "Slow down, slow down, we have everything." The old soldier said with a smile. The middle-aged man also smiled and took the bowl to serve the soldiers.

After the soldier finished his meal, he reached into another wooden barrel, picked up the steamed bun, squatted on the ground and started to eat it with hearty mouthfuls. Xu Ziyi also had a big appetite and ate several bowls of meat in a row. His mouth was so greasy that it could be used as a mirror.

The old soldier standing by couldn't help but sigh when he saw a group of soldiers wolfing down their food. Recalling that he was similar to them in the past, the corners of his mouth curled up and he began to smile.

The meal was eaten quickly, and the soldiers were reluctant to part with the old soldier. Instructor Li Beibing also came over and said loudly: "In one hour, the army will set out to the Beimang border."

An hour passed quickly, and the soldiers began to head towards the Beimang border. Wu Qiyuan asked in a low voice, "Brother, how far do we have to go?" Xu Ziyi had roughly calculated beforehand that it would take three or four days. "Three days!" Xu Ziyi tilted his head and said.

Three days later, this group of 3,000 new soldiers arrived at Jubei City on the border of Beimang. Li Beibing came down and walked forward, saying to the soldiers outside the city gate: "We are from Xinzi Camp of Beiliang, and we have been ordered to go here." The leader of the soldiers on the side of the road said: "Go to the general's mansion, someone will arrange your accommodation and tasks, let your soldiers wait outside."

Li Beibing didn't think too much about it. He turned around and told the captain to rest outside the city. Then he mounted his horse and walked towards the general's mansion.
