Wooden guns—that's the iconic symbol of cannon fodder soldiers!
"Closer, closer..." After a few breaths, Qin Hu was certain that he hadn't misjudged the situation.
The other side might be enemy scouts, or in this era, reconnaissance soldiers, who are trying to enter the camp to conduct reconnaissance.
Of course, if conditions permit, one could also poison someone, set a fire, or carry out a decapitation strike.
"one two three……"
He and Qin An lay motionless on the ground until he suddenly jumped up and threw the wooden spear like a javelin.
"puff!"
Scouts couldn't possibly wear armor because it would restrict their movement, so the spear pierced right through his chest.
Following Qin Hu, who picked up Qin An's wooden spear, they jumped off the carriage and desperately chased after each other in the opposite direction.
To ensure the reliability of intelligence, scouts are required to monitor each other and are not allowed to act alone, so there must be at least two scouts.
In no time, Qin Hu tackled another black shadow to the ground.
Then he took the wooden gun and strangled the man's neck with a sharp crack, and the man's head drooped down.
"Huff, huff!" Qin Hu was drenched in sweat and almost collapsed. He lay on the ground panting heavily, his body was just too weak.
Take the enemy's neck that he just snapped. In the past, he could have done it with just his hands, but just now he had to use the strength of the wooden spear.
"Qin An, come here and help me search him."
Qin Hu was familiar with the rules of the battlefield, and he had to collect all the spoils from these two guys as quickly as possible.
"Two daggers, two broadswords, a level, seven or eight taels of loose silver, two grain sacks, a scout's five-pointed flag, a water bottle, two sets of cotton-padded clothes, two flatbreads, cured meat..."
"Qin An, brother, quick, quick, eat something, you're saved..."
Qin Hu trembled as he grabbed a handful of roasted beans from the grain bag and stuffed them into Qin An's mouth. Then he poured water into Qin An's mouth and put the captured cotton-padded coat on him.

Before dawn, Qin Hu beheaded the scout before the changing sentries arrived, carried the head into the squad leader's camp, and reported what had happened the day before.
He did this to prevent others from taking credit for him; he knew what kind of environment he was in.
"Thirty taels of silver for a human head, you've struck it rich, kid."
The squad leader's name was Gao Da, a tall, strong man with a thick beard.
At first, he didn't believe it at all, until he saw the spoils Qin Hu had seized, as well as two corpses.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"It's not me who got rich, it's everyone who got rich. This is the result of all ten of us working together."

"Young Marquis, please get up quickly, it's our turn to patrol."
Where am I?
Qin Hu sat up groggily, feeling a chill on his body and a strong wind howling outside, which made him feel a little strange.
"Oh dear, young marquis, what's wrong with you? We're in the military camp. It's our turn to stand guard at this hour. If you don't get up, you'll be punished according to military law. Even the old marquis can't protect you now."
"what?"
Qin Hu opened his eyes and saw that he was in a tent, with a soldier wearing leather armor in front of him.
Just as he was about to ask something, a splitting headache suddenly struck him, and a massive surge of information rushed into his mind. A few seconds later, he realized he had transmigrated.
He transmigrated from a modern special forces soldier into the body of a young nobleman also named Qin Hu, who was the leader of the seven notorious young villains in the capital!
This era called the Great Yu Dynasty never existed in history.
Qin Hu's ancestors were among the four dukes and twenty-eight marquises who founded the Great Yu Kingdom. Three months ago, his father passed away, and Qin Hu inherited the title, becoming the new Marquis of Champion.
Qin Hu was spoiled by his parents since childhood. He didn't like studying or practicing martial arts. He just wanted to play, eat, drink and have fun, and run rampant in the capital.
When he grew up, his family wanted him to settle down, so they arranged a marriage for him with the eldest daughter of the Duke of Chen, named Chen Ruoli, a lady of noble birth, beautiful and intelligent.
Qin Hu was vicious and cruel to others, but he was extremely obedient to his beautiful fiancée and treated her like a precious treasure.
But the problem just happened to be with Miss Chen, his childhood sweetheart.
According to Qin Hu's memory, on that day he brought his fiancée to the palace to pay homage to the reigning Princess Chang'an. The princess and Chen Ruoli had been friends since childhood, so she arranged a banquet for them.
But later, Qin Hu drank himself into oblivion. When he woke up, he was already in the Imperial Guard's prison. He was told that he had drunkenly harassed the princess and intended to commit an indecent act.
What's even stranger is that Chen Ruoli actually submitted a memorial impeaching her fiancé Qin Hu for seventy-two illegal acts, each and every one of which was supported by evidence.
Qin Hu felt as if he had been struck by lightning; he simply couldn't believe his ears...
The imperial edict was issued quickly. Considering the merits of Qin Hu's ancestors, he was spared the death penalty but could not escape punishment. He was exiled to Youzhou to serve in the army, while retaining his title to observe his future conduct.
However, after arriving in Youzhou, he was quickly assigned to the front lines—serving as a vanguard.
After going through all these things in his mind, Qin Hu basically understood that this was a trap.
Because the Duke of Chen had long wanted to annul the engagement with him.
The Qin and Chen families were originally a political marriage, and both families wanted to become stronger and bigger. However, Qin Hu was a good-for-nothing except for being a playboy. He completely disgraced the Marquis of Champion's mansion.
It should be noted that the champion marquises of each generation were all heroic figures with unparalleled influence in the army. But in this generation, a good-for-nothing who had never been on the battlefield emerged.
When the old Marquis was alive, the Duke of Chen still gave him face. But after the old Marquis died, the Duke of Chen turned his back on him and even staged a scene of annulment at the funeral.
Qin Hu, however, was deeply in love with Chen Ruoli and refused to allow it, while Chen Ruoli had long since grown to loathe this scoundrel.
And so a disaster struck!
As for Princess Chang'an, it's even simpler. She is Qin Hu's cousin. Once Qin Hu dies, the vast fortune of the Marquis of Champion's mansion will naturally fall into the hands of this cousin.
These various forces, each seeking their own gain, colluded and quickly united...
Indeed, entering the gates of a noble family is like entering a deep sea; there are so many people who want him dead.
"Qin An, what do you think about us finding a place to escape the wind?"
Under the bright moonlight, the harsh north wind, with its piercing whistle, swept across the open plains, making the torches flicker and dart like countless flying knives cutting into people's skin.
"No, young marquis, that will be punished by military law."
Qin Hu and Qin An, huddled against the wind, ran out of the camp and trudged forward through the thick snow.
The frail Qin An was caught off guard and was blown over by the strong wind.
When the two sentries who were changing shifts saw them come out, they looked at each other with sinister smiles, scooped up two handfuls of snow to extinguish the campfire they were using for warmth, and then crawled into their tent.
Damn it, they even bribed the soldiers, trying to freeze me to death!
This was a very small camp with about twenty tents, surrounded by horse-drawn carriages. There were no chevaux-de-frise or deer antlers on the outskirts, and the surrounding area was flat with no natural defenses. It was clear that they had no intention of setting up a long-term camp there.
According to Qin Hu's memories from his previous life, there were about two hundred people stationed here. They were the vanguard of Li Qin, the general who led the Northern Expedition of the Yu Dynasty.
Li Qin's 20,000-strong army was targeting Liaodong, the Yu Dynasty's long-time enemy on the border.
"Cough cough, young lord, do you think we can still get back alive?" Qin An was curled up on the snow, his lips and face were blue, and he spoke weakly, as if he would die at any moment.
Qin Hu sighed inwardly. Qin An was only dragged down by him, and if things continued to develop this way, the two of them would surely die.
Those who wanted him dead, failing to kill him in the imperial court, resorted to underhanded tactics in the military camp, beating him to death.
But Qin Hu was not one to sit idly by and wait for his death. This was clearly a case of being framed, and he couldn't let it go.
Life is an endless struggle for survival. Just wait, I will not only survive, but I will also return to the capital and settle accounts with you.
"Qin An, how many silver notes did we take with us when we left?"
"I'm out of silver notes. I only have twenty taels of silver on me. The imperial edict says we're being exiled to the army and our property is confiscated."
Qin An is only 16 years old this year. He is Qin Hu's personal page. He is very thin and weak. He has long been unable to withstand the torment and looks like he only has one breath left.
In fact, Qin Hu wasn't much better off. For the past few days, the vanguard battalion had been marching 30 li every day, and their work consisted of clearing roads through mountains, building bridges over rivers, chopping firewood, digging ditches, carrying water, and setting up camps.
What would it be like for these two delicate-skinned guys to spend every day with hundreds of burly soldiers?
They'll definitely be doing the hardest work, eating the worst food, enduring the most brutal beatings, and suffering the most humiliation...
Qin Hu estimated that his predecessor might have been tortured to death.
He deserved what he got for his crimes.
He has to bear this suffering now; if he can't, he will die.
"Give me."
Qin Hu had made up his mind. He had to find a way to save Qin An's life first, and then think of other solutions.
Survival is not difficult; the simplest method is bribery. As the saying goes, money can move mountains. Although this method is primitive, it always works.
But given the current situation, he can't possibly bribe high-ranking officials, because no one dares to associate with him. Besides, he has no money.
So one person came to mind: Centurion Li Xiaokun.
He's currently the leader of the Vanguard Battalion. To read the latest chapters, please download the Aiyue Novels app for ad-free reading. The website no longer updates the latest chapters; they are now updated on the Aiyue Novels app. Twenty taels of silver is a small sum, but in modern times it would be worth eight to ten thousand yuan.
Currently, an ordinary soldier in the Great Yu Dynasty earns at most one tael of silver per month, while a centurion earns three taels of silver per month.
Maybe he'll accept it.
In addition, Qin Hu also planned to make a big promise to Li Xiaokun, after all, Qin Hu used to have plenty of money.
Now it all depends on whether he and Qin An can make it through the night.
"Young Master, I might not make it. I'm so hungry, and my hands and feet are frozen stiff," Qin An mumbled groggily.
"Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi, hold on, hold on! You can't stay still. Get up and run. That's the only way to survive."
In fact, Qin Hu himself was in a tough spot. Although he was a special forces soldier in his previous life, this body was not the same as his previous one. All he had now was an indomitable spirit.
"Wait!"
