In the middle of winter, the cold wind in the north is like a knife.
The heavy snowfall hit hard on the earthen wall of the black stone fort.
This is the northernmost frontier of the Dayong Dynasty, a forgotten corner.
There are seventy-two forts in Yanshuoguan, and the Black Stone Garrison is the most dilapidated and has the weakest defensive capabilities.
The walls were dilapidated and the soldiers were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and it was difficult to even eat a full stomach.
The surrounding earthen walls had collapsed in several places, and were blocked by a few broken logs.
The earthen fort was supposed to have fifty defenders, but they were often left without pay, and the only twenty-three people there were old, weak, sick, and disabled. Soldiers like Su Jin who were forcibly recruited into the army were considered young and strong.
Less than 30% of the pawns here can return alive.
The cold wind poured into the low soldier barracks through the broken windows, and the room was frighteningly cold.
There was also a fishy, rotten smell.
"Cough cough cough...
A violent cough ripped through his chest, and there was a sharp pain. Su Jin suddenly opened his eyes, and the bone-chilling chill was like a knife, making his whole body stiff.
A strange memory flooded into his mind. In his previous life, he was a retired field veteran who had gone through hundreds of battles, life and death. Unexpectedly, a sudden change brought him to this world.
He turned out to be a seventeen-year-old boy, a soldier of Blackstone Fort, an orphan, and was captured six months ago.
Because of his cowardly character, he was often bullied by veterans, with military pay deducted, beaten and scolded at will, and he was asked to do all the dirty work alone.
Yesterday, because of a trivial matter, the garrison commander Zhou Scarzi broke two of his ribs. The original owner died in the cold garrison due to hunger and cold.
Su Jin didn't expect that his start would be such a hellish difficulty.
But he has experienced various desperate situations and immediately calmed down and analyzed the current situation.
The Dayong Dynasty is now on the verge of collapse, the border is even more corrupt, the external enemies are powerful, but the internal army is a mess, the generals are greedy, and the veterans bully the new recruits.
He is now just a pawn with no power, no one to rely on, and the lowest status. He may die here at any time.
