Chapter 61: A New Legend
"Clean up here." Without waiting for the generals to ask why, Twilight pointed to her feet.
She looked across the river when two elite soldiers came up to her, crouched on the ground and carefully cleared the grass. With the arrows exposed, it is easy to deduce where the trap seats, arrow slots, and trigger clips are, and these elite soldiers have encountered this mechanism too much in the desert, and they are already familiar with its structure.
In a moment, a short arrow was taken out from under the turf, and the arrow lay intact in the slot, the trigger clamp was tight, and the arrow was sharp, and the cold color of the setting sun was dazzling.
On the other side of the Gewa River, Hu Yanhao stared at the mechanism that had been taken out. When the organ was buried, facing the direction of the arrival of the new army in the northwest of Qingzhou Pass, he sat on the other side of the river, facing the trap, and could not see the starry arrows emerging from the grass, only saw the two northwest elite soldiers take out a short arrow of the machine, squatted on the ground to continue excavation, and then took out another one and passed it to the back.
Later, looking at the organs that were passed out one by one, the red glow in the sky stained the faces of the generals of the Northwest Army, and the look on their faces was full of excitement.
The veterans, deputy generals, military marquis, captains, tun chiefs, and Mo chiefs in the Northwest Army all hope for a recruit boy with no official and no character. The young man stood in front of the generals, looking across the river, and took one out of her feet, and she took a step forward.
The wind of the Hucha grassland blew the young man's hair, and sent the clear sound across the Gewa River, and the words were piercing.
"The soil of the Hucha grassland is loess, the main component of the sandstorm in the northwest, loose and easy to dig, and the favorite of ants. But after a downpour, the loess is wet and the caves collapse, and when the weather clears, the ants will find their homes again. ”
"In this world, people love to take shortcuts, and so do other animals, including ants. The loess that has been turned is particularly loose and is better to dig than the places that have not been turned, and the ants will happily find these places to dig their nests. However, the trapped traps are an eyesore for the ants, and they will first want to transport them out of the earth, but the traps are too heavy for them to move. So, where does it look best to move? ”
"When burying the machine, in order to let the arrow shoot out smoothly, the soil at the arrow part is buried most loosely. Your arrows are easy to shoot and ants are easy to get into, and the easiest places to dig will be the first to be exposed. ”
The boy walked with a short arrow in his hand, the same one she had taken with her when she had descended the mountain five days earlier.
Hu Yanhao got up, the wind of the grassland blew the pale black clothes, and his eyebrows were dyed with a touch of red.
For five days, she had sent him a war post but had not taken any action, but had just sat on the opposite shore, eating and sleeping like him, and it seemed that she was only fighting for a breath, but today she suddenly broke his formation, and the reason was ...... Unheard.
"Boy, what's your name?" The man's voice was low and hoarse, reminiscent of the blue wolf looking down at its prey on a full moon night outside the desert lonely city.
"The killer doesn't deserve to know my name." The young man's voice is cold, reminiscent of the breeze in the pine and bamboo forest after the rain, and it is refreshing to smell.
is obviously a plain face, but the voice is unforgettable.
"You are a soldier in the northwest, and when you get to the border, you will kill people as well."
"Invaders, kill my people, humiliate my family and country, unworthy of people, and those who see it will be punished!"
The young man's words were sonorous, and as he spoke, the elite soldier in front of him had already taken out the last seat by the river. Just as she was about to hand it back, Twilight bent over and took it, aimed it at the riverbank, and shot!
Hu Yanhao quickly retreated when she bent over, the short arrow grazed the nails of his clothes and went into the distance, he looked up to the sky and smiled, the sunset on the grassland dyed his eyes, blood-like color, "Do you know that all the people who don't treat this king as a human are dead?" ”
Just as he looked up, there was a breaking sound in the wind, and a short arrow pierced his throat!
Hu Yanhao fell on his back, the arrow grazed the tip of his nose, and two swishing sounds were heard on the other side of the river at the same time! Hu Yanhao's body just fell to the ground, rolled twice on the spot, pressed his hand on the ground, toe a little, got up, retreated sharply, and was agile!
On the other side of the river, Lu Da held the palm-sized seat and scolded: "Damn, the things of the Hu people are not smooth!" ”
"The things made by this king's supervision naturally can't be ordered by this king!" Hu Yanhao glanced at Lu Da, then looked at Du Qing, and smiled with interest, that smile was always a little cruel, "Boy, a character like you, this king will definitely see you again." Your life will be the king's sooner or later! ”
Twilight snorted and mocked, "Before you take my life, think about how to kill all the ants in the world." ”
Hu Yanhao's face was gloomy, he couldn't accept a trace of failure, and the plan to severely damage the Northwest New Army was ruined in the hands of this kid in front of him, and this kid still poked him in the sore spot! He stared at Twilight for a moment, then turned to leave.
The Gewa River is seven or eight feet wide, and it rained heavily last night, and the water level of the river rose sharply, and the water flow was turbulent, making it difficult to pass people for a while. There was an elite soldier behind him who handed Lu Da's bow and arrows, and he was full of bows and several arrows were avoided by Hu Yanhao vigorously, seeing that people were about to go away, Du Qing turned around and stared at General Gu and Lu Dadao: "I have good water nature, pick a few people who know water nature to me, and I will chase them!" ”
"No way!" Lu Da flatly refused, "It's going to be dark soon, there are too many wolves on the grassland, and there are many dangers, you have only practiced for more than a month, and it will be difficult for you to march in a single night, let alone tracking." Hu Yanhao is a good hand at night fighting, he can set up a trap formation on the grassland, and someone must help him! Who knows if there are any of his men ahead? Beware of the ambush! I don't want to collect the corpses of new recruits anymore! ”
Most of the Northwest Army are northern men, and they fight in the desert all year round, but they can fight at night, but unfortunately the water is not fine. If it weren't for that, why would he take a bow and shoot Hu Yanhao on the shore? I sent someone across the river to chase after him!
This bearded wolf cub finally let him escape!
Twilight didn't insist, Lu Da had a point, but there was one thing she couldn't figure out these days, and that was at night, although the archers on the mountain shot a few wolves, she had never encountered a pack of wolves. Hu Yanhao's organs have been buried here for some days, isn't he afraid that wolves will pass by and step on the organs, and before the Northwest New Army arrives, these organs will lose their effectiveness? Listening to Lu Da, they often encountered this organ when they were fighting with the Hu people in the northwest desert, and there were wolves in the desert, how did these institutions avoid the wolves?
Twilight couldn't figure it out for a while, but apparently Hu Ren had some solutions she didn't know.
In the evening of that day, when Twilight returned to the mountain with the generals, the cheers of 7,000 people shook the mountains and forests!
A road up the mountain, with elite soldiers lined up and new recruits crowded, as if welcoming the hero's return. The heroic boy walked behind the generals, and the generals' ears were almost deafened.
The cheers spread far away to the Qingzhou Pass, and the more than 40,000 troops stationed there looked excitedly at the hill ahead.
It's broken!
It's just that the method of breaking the formation is unheard of!
That young man, sitting on the grassland on the fifth day, confronted the third prince of Di on the other bank, without spending a single soldier, a knife and an arrow, just waiting for a rain, an ant army on the grassland, and called the formation to appear!
That young man, after winning the general, broke the march tragedy and broke the grassland arrow array! With the power of one person, 50,000 new troops in the northwest will be protected!
The army could not see the situation on the grassland at the mountain pass, but only heard the good news from the mountain, and since then, the haze of recruits being killed, besieging and straying into the formation of organs, and the army being blocked in the Qingzhou Pass has been swept away. On this night, the mountains and mountains cheered, and the recruits sat around the campfire, talking about the legends of the youth.
On the mountain, beside the campfire outside the camp of the wounded soldiers, Twilight Qing held a bowl, drank hot porridge, and ate wolf meat. There were thirty or forty people around, all of whom were the soldiers she brought on the night of the drill, and the firelight brightened the eyes of the recruits, and compared to the joy and excitement of the night of the drill, there was more enthusiastic worship in the eyes of the recruits at this moment.
"How do you know that those ants can break through the formation of the third prince of Di? Speak up, talk fast! I'll go in the tent and talk to Kuroko in a moment! Shi Dahai asked excitedly.
Han Qichu also smiled at Du Qing, he also wanted to know, this young man was too amazing to him.
The recruits nodded their heads beside them, and some of the recruits who were having dinner in the distance heard that they were busy getting up with their rice bowls and coming over, and they all wanted to hear it. The news spread quickly, one by one, and after a while, even the veterans from the northwest came over, and outside the open space in front of the camp for wounded soldiers, there were suddenly more than ten floors, and the crowd was crowded.
Twilight sat under the tree, holding porridge, the fire shining on her face, and the young man with thick eyebrows and thin eyes looked a little stunned.
She hadn't dealt with that kind of situation.
In their previous life, their forensic department was relatively independent, and most of the topics on weekdays were scientific, so many people found it boring and rarely shared a common language with them. Besides, few people could stand the fact that they were looking at the slides of corpses during the meal, and discussing the whole lunch time about maggots on a corpse, so they didn't have many friends except for their colleagues. In her previous life, people like Gu Nishang who were born as agents didn't think she had a heavy topic.
In Daxing these years, the people are heavy on the Yin Division, and the work is cheap, and the ordinary people think of the dead when they see the work, and they all feel unlucky, and the twilight family has no neighbors left and right, and she has no friends over the years, and she is used to being quiet alone, and she is suddenly stared at by many excited and adoring eyes, and she is a little uncomfortable for a while.
It's no surprise that she is familiar with the habits of ants, and she has studied forensic entomology. During his time abroad, the professor often received invitations from the police to participate in the investigation of cases, and under normal circumstances, he would bring a forensic team of several graduate students. In the forensic team, everyone has different majors, such as forensic anthropology, forensic pathology, forensic entomology, etc., and sometimes there are graduate students in chemistry and archaeology.
Forensic doctors are mostly pathologists, that is, doctors who study diseases and tissue trauma. If the body has a chance to be dissected before it is disassembled, the time of death and the cause of death can be judged with extraordinary accuracy. But once it enters the decomposition stage, the soft tissues liquefy, the clues on the corpse disappear, and the bones can only be used for autopsy, which requires the knowledge of anthropology. So, she studied anthropology and entomology, so it's normal to understand the habits of ants.
Twilight looked at the excited eyes, thought for a moment, eliminated the heavy tastes, and replied briefly: "I know the habits of insects that appear on the corpses, such as flies, maggots, silverfish, and ants. ”
One sentence was explained, but there was no sound around the campfire for a long time.
Maggots......
The recruits stared at the porridge in their bowls, looking at the white rice.
Shi Dahai slapped his forehead, and suddenly felt that he had asked the wrong question......
Han Qichu shook his head and smiled bitterly, staring at the food in his hand, and felt that he couldn't eat it.
A group of people lost their appetite, but no one left, and everyone looked at the young man sitting under the tree, and watched her eat silently. On the hill in the distance, the old general Gu stood with his hands outside the big tent, looking at the excitement of the mountainside, and sighed: "This meeting really reminds the old man of when the general was still a recruit......
The son-in-law of the Yuan family, the army in the northwest, started from a soldier with no official and no quality, rode alone, and took the head of King Rong in the army, and the first war shook the world. That night, the barracks were also so lively, that night, the Northwest Army had not yet been built, and those people around the general had finally become the backbone of the Northwest Army.
After ten years, I never thought I would see this scene again tonight.
This young man has become a legend in the minds of the 50,000 new army tonight.
Ten years ago, when the generals gathered around the general, worship maintained respect, fanaticism maintained fear. And beside the young man, all the recruits worshiped and fanatical, but there was no estrangement......
The new army is mostly from poor people, this young man is not much different, he is not like a general, when the son of the prime minister, the nephew of the empress dowager, the generals always guard their identities when facing the generals, and the generals return to their hearts, but they always feel that he is in a high place. This young man's background made the soldiers unreservedly close to him when they were around......
It's a different sight than it was ten years ago.
The veteran who was over the age of sixteen looked at the scenery under the mountain, and the mountain wind blew and felt a little cold.
What kind of force will this young man, this new army in the northwest, be if they are allowed to grow up?
Twilight sat under the tree, not knowing the thoughts of the old man on the top of the mountain, she only felt a little cold on her body.
The cold was not heavy, she only leaned in front of the fire, and after eating, she got up and went to the wounded soldier's tent to look at Liu Heizi. Liu Heizi fell asleep, and heard that he had a fever two days ago, and the fever subsided today, and the military doctor said that the fever would be fine.
After seeing Liu Heizi, Twilight Qing returned to the camp. In the past five days, in order to fight for that breath, she confronted Hu Yanhao, slept in the open air, and never rested well. Tomorrow, the 100 elite troops will clean up the institutions on the grassland, and the army will stop for at least another day, so she can rest well tonight.
But after lying down, Twilight gradually felt a chill on her body, and the August grassland was as hot as a steamer, and she actually felt cold.
Only then did she feel bad in her heart, she had been drenched in rain all night last night, and she seemed to have a cold.
As a woman, she has a lot of inconveniences in the military camp, and she has always paid attention to her body on weekdays, if it weren't for the confrontation with Hu Yanhao these days, this disease would not have been infected. She frowned, thought about it a few times, and didn't get up to go to the meddic's tent.
Han Qichu and Shi Dahai took turns taking care of Liu Heizi in the camp tent of the wounded soldiers at night, and there were only two people in the tent tonight, she and Zhang Tong. Zhang Tong has not spoken since she came back today, and is lying with his back to her at the moment, as if he is asleep.
Twilight turned her back and closed her eyes.
In the middle of the night, she was in a cold ice cellar when someone tapped her on the shoulder.
Twilight was startled, and turned around and put a thin knife against the man's throat, only to see Zhang Tong frowning and staring at her.
Q: "What's wrong with you?" ”――
