Chapter 27: The Big Win (1)
In General Lou's border barracks, even some of the ordinary soldiers have sturdy combat horses, and in the middle of each month, the soldiers can each get half a catty of beef jerky as a spare military ration.
Of course, the beef jerky for the military is not the one made by the medicine slaves, but the pickled soldiers in the army themselves, although the taste is average, but it is very good as a spare military ration.
On an ordinary night in mid-May, a sneak attack by the Tuhun people completely kicked off the battle between the border army and the Tuhun people.
Because of General Lou's advance precautions, this sneak attack was not successful, and the Tuhun people like a thousand wolf cubs were all annihilated.
The next day, the scouts reported that the army of the Tuhun people had crossed the grassland and had 50,000 horses, almost twice as many as the soldiers of the border army!
If it had been two or three months ago, when it encountered the 50,000 Tuhun troops assembled, General Lou Da's border army would have no chance of winning at all, but the current border army is no longer the border army of two or three months ago.
They were strong in soldiers, advanced in weapons, and strict in order, and they were even stronger than the Zuo Wuwei under Sheng Jingsheng.
General Lou Da's face was full of seriousness, he was wearing soft armor, with a red cloak on his shoulders, standing on the high wall of Liangzhou City, his red cloak was hunting in the wind.
In the distance, the banner of the new Zambu of the Tuhun people and the sound of horses' hooves like an earthquake sounded.
However, General Lou was not nervous at all, and now he was full of confidence in his heart!
He instructed the new lieutenant general beside him: "Ambush at three miles, and then the left flank army will meet the enemy, all the eight ox crossbows will be dispatched, and the war drums will be ready......
One after another, orders were issued, and one by one the guards ran down with red flags on their backs to give orders.
There was no fear on the faces of the strong soldiers waiting for the battle. Only excitement and excitement, as well as bloodthirsty hatred, the Tuhun people have harassed the border many times, and many of their veterans have fought guerrilla warfare with this group of Tuhun people for more than ten years, and this time they are finally able to fight head-on!
The Dawu Dynasty was established for decades, and the border has not been completely stabilized, this time is a good time to fight for military upgrades, if you can slaughter more than a dozen Tuhun people, then these soldiers can also mix in the army!
So each one is gearing up!
Looking at the well-equipped Left Wing Army like a tiger out of the trenches, the infantrymen had a look of envy in their eyes. Damn. Why can this group of horses be the vanguard on horseback, and their two-legged ones are not bad, right!
The soldiers of the Left Wing Army on strong horses, dressed in the finest armor and wearing special helmets on their heads, howled excitedly. With a spear on his back. A trident hangs from his waist. He had a lightweight, three-shot crossbow tied to his arm, the tip of which was even poisonous, and the pouch around his waist was equipped with three vials of a special weapon. The team of each squad is telling you not to use this small bottle until it is absolutely necessary.
Damn, if such a cavalry armed to the feet can't overturn the Tuhun cavalry with one enemy and ten, then Lou Zheng has nothing to say.
It is precisely because of the multiple guarantees that the soldiers' fighting spirit is unprecedentedly high.
The vanguard army still has a distance of one and a half miles before it is facing the Tuhun people.
Lou Zheng was sitting in the marshal's mansion at this time, but her heart was high, and she was now accompanied by Lu Hongxiu, Yu Jiu, Yao Nu, Wu Steward and others.
When he was attacked by the Tuhun people, General Lou wanted to send his daughter away overnight, but Lou Zheng sternly refused.
General Lou had no choice but to nod his head and agree, but he had the bottom of his heart in this battle with the Tuhun people, but he was not afraid that Liangzhou City would be affected, so Lou Zheng was reluctant to go, and General Lou did not force his daughter, but sent a team of 100 personal soldiers to personally guard the Marshal's Mansion to protect Lou Zheng's safety.
Lou Zheng did not refuse his father's arrangement, but he had other plans in private.
At this time, Lou Zheng and the others were sitting in the flower hall of the Dashuai Mansion, Yu Jiu couldn't stand anymore, his face kept changing, and he was walking around in the flower hall from time to time, which annoyed people.
The medicine slave was sitting next to Lou Zheng, embroidering a pink handkerchief for his little lady, and he was shaking it in front of him, and scolded dissatisfiedly: "Yu Jiu, are you annoyed, can you not go, as if your daughter-in-law was robbed." ”
Lou Zheng is using a thin charcoal pen to draw the pattern of glazed vessels on a piece of rice paper with a moderate thickness, and the special charcoal pen in his hand is very similar to the pencil used in later generations, which Lu Hongxiu specially made for her according to Lou Zheng's instructions.
Lu Hongxiu has been touring the Western Regions for more than ten years, and he has seen many things that the Great Wu Dynasty does not have, and he knows a lot of materials, and his comprehension ability is amazing.
When Lu Hongxiu gave Lou Zheng charcoal, he said that he had seen an old man in the Western Regions painting with this charcoal, so as soon as Lou Zheng mentioned it, he immediately thought of it.
Lou Zheng has been in the small world for so many years, and her painting skills are naturally professional-level, a simple charcoal pen is held in her hand, and when it is not long, lifelike patterns appear under her, only called the medicine slave called magic, so this little girl in addition to liking to make food, followed by liking to move a chair to look at when the little lady is painting.
Yu Jiu grabbed her hair and glanced at the medicine slave sadly, this young stinky girl now has an unusual status in the Shuai Mansion, even Steward Wu can't instruct her, she only listens to the little lady's words, and he still thinks about looking at the little lady in the future, where can he dare to offend her.
Lou Zheng gave the medicine slave a look, and the medicine slave pouted, so he had to continue to bow his head and embroider.
Lou Zheng got up and walked to Steward Wu and Lu Hongxiu, glanced at the chessboard in front of the two, and then walked to Yu Jiu's side, she didn't talk to Yu Jiu immediately, but turned her head and instructed the medicine slave, "Medicine slave, go to the kitchen to make a pot of braised pork, and then simmer a pot of white rice, the meritorious person will come back soon." ”
Hearing Lou Zheng say this, the anxiety and uneasiness on Yu Jiu's face seemed to be soothed in an instant, and he stared at a pair of copper bell-like eyes and asked Lou Zheng eagerly: "Little lady, is it true?" Dogs, they're coming back? ”
Among the personal soldiers who were transferred to protect the Marshal's Mansion and Lou Zheng was Zhang Gouzi, whom Lou Zheng met on the watchtower last time.
The medicine slave glared at Yu Jiu fiercely, and then reluctantly went to cook.
"They'll be back at about this hour, so if you're worried, just wait at the door."
Yu Jiu shook his head, "I stayed by the little lady's side, and the general instructed his subordinates not to leave the little lady no matter what, and to protect the safety of the little lady." ”
In fact, maybe Lou Zheng's skills are even better than Yu Jiu! However, Yu Jiu was stubborn, and Lou Zheng followed him.
After Lou Zheng comforted Yu Jiu, he returned to the table and continued to draw the pattern.
Yu Jiu stood on the porch in front of the flower hall in a daze, staring at the sentries standing guard at the gate of the courtyard, hoping that they would immediately walk in to report the news of Zhang Gouzi's group. (To be continued.) )
