Chapter 12 Picking Cotton Plants and Encountering the Turkic Cavalry
Li Yan divided the cotton fields into small scattered pieces, and he would distribute them evenly outside the city when he left the city next.
Of course, Li Yan will not show all the cotton fields at once, he will only show about ten groups, so as to ensure that the distribution of cotton is more discrete and looks more like wild plants.
As for whether ten groups of cotton will not be enough, there is no need to worry, anyway, the task of picking cotton Li Yan will let his soldiers go, and it will not be too obvious for him to secretly extract some to double the harvest at that time.
It didn't take long for the inspection team to be assembled, and there were fifty-nine people, including Zhang Dazhu, Ge Dahai and other nine Li Yanyan's subordinates who were temporarily inserted.
"Zhang Dazhu, you follow me out of the North City Gate, and the other three gates will be arranged by the team."
Li Yan quickly confirmed the mission, he will lead Zhang Dazhu and the others from the most dangerous north gate, Li Yan believes that with the current configuration of Zhang Dazhu and their full armor and the results of many days of training, it should be enough to deal with the Turkic attack.
"Yes!"
More than 50 people replied in unison, and the sound shook the entire school field, and even spread throughout the Fengzhou military camp.
Now, the Fengzhou Army is accustomed to Li Yan's training method, and everyone knows that the two thousand soldiers under Li Yan like to roar when there is nothing to do, although they don't know what their combat power is, but the momentum is definitely an elite standard.
After the order was issued, Li Yan quickly set off with his people and walked out of the north gate from the barracks.
On the city wall, Hou Junji, who learned the news of Li Yan's personal camp, watched from afar.
"General, why did Vice Lieutenant Li go out of the city in person? Isn't it enough to leave the inspection to a team? ”
Hou Junji's adjutant followed him, and his tone was very puzzled.
"It's normal that you don't understand, I talked to him a few days ago, he thinks that the North City Gate is the most dangerous, and it is very likely to meet the Turks, and Li Yan has always been used to taking one step and looking forward for ten steps, this kid has the intention to train elite guards for himself in advance, but I am afraid that he will meet the Turks."
Hou Junji squinted his eyes and thought that he had seen through everything, but he didn't know that his thoughts were not related to Li Yan's thinking.
Li Yan clearly wanted to go out of the city for a valid reason to arrange cotton for the winter in advance......
"I see, Vice Lieutenant Li is really far-sighted."
Zhang Cheng was fooled by the success of his own general, and Li Yan's image gradually began to rise in his mind, and he faintly had the feeling of his ideal generation of famous generals.
……
Li Yan didn't know that his evaluation on Hou Junji's side was so high, and he was leading Zhang Dazhu and the others to slowly march along the inspection path.
Along the way, Li Yan constantly observed the surrounding environment, and whenever he found a hidden place such as a valley or a secluded stream, he would excuse himself to leave for a while and go to pick up and place the cotton plants that had been prepared a long time ago.
"Boss, what's wrong? This first village has not yet arrived, and it has been relieved dozens of times? ”
"Be quiet, I'm afraid the boss is not suffering from some hidden disease."
"What's the hidden disease, do you want to keep unraveling it?"
"I've heard the village doctor say that some old men have a bad waist, so they will inevitably stay up all night and keep going to relieve them."
"Shhh...... I heard that the boss hasn't gotten married yet, will it be in the future? ”
Perhaps Li Yan's excuse was too simple, and when he left the team again, there was a discussion in the team, and one by one they even worried about Li Yan's lifelong events.
"What do you say? Don't let the boss hear it, or we'll all be unlucky! ”
After all, Zhang Dazhu has been messing with Li Yan for the longest time, he knows Li Yan's character very well, once this kind of words reach Li Yan's ears, I am afraid that all of them will have to come to the school field for fifty laps of practice today!
"Remember! Even if the boss really loses his kidneys! It's really yang qi deficiency! You can't say it either! Just keep it in your heart, and find a Lang Zhong to take a good look at the boss in the future. ”
Zhang Dazhu didn't know that his brain was wrong from time to time, and he said it in public, not noticing that Li Yan had caught up with the team and came behind him.
So, a majestic voice with a hint of questioning came from behind Zhang Dazhu.
"Oh? Dazhu, I heard that you have a kidney loss? Still yang qi deficiency? Want to find a Lang Zhong to prescribe a prescription for you to make up for it? ”
Li Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of danger, Zhang Dazhu, who was so simple, dared to arrange it behind his back? I'm afraid it's not an itchy skin!
"Uh, boss...... Boss, you're right! It's that I Zhang Dazhu's kidney is missing, and when I go back to the city today, I must find a Lang Zhong to take a good look! ”
Zhang Dazhu was keenly aware of the danger and hurriedly took the black cauldron.
When did he Zhang Dazhu say bad things about the boss? No! Absolutely nothing! If there is a kidney loss in this team, it must be him Zhang Dazhu! He was just talking about himself! There is absolutely no mention of their own boss!
"Well, okay, I'll give you two pennies when I go back, take a good look, by the way, most of the kidney loss is less practice, don't forget to go fifty laps of the school field tonight."
Li Yan patted Zhang Dazhu's shoulder with satisfaction.
This kid is good, he has been following him for a long time, and finally he is no longer a pure fool, he has a rare brain.
In the process of the conversation between the two, the atmosphere of the team became more and more relaxed, and the group of nine people faintly regained the feeling when Li Yan was still the leader of the team.
These days, because Li Yan was promoted too quickly, they all had a trace of self-doubt, and even felt that their abilities were a little unworthy of being Li Yan's cronies, especially when Li Yan gave them a three-piece set of leather armor, iron bracers, and iron swords a few days ago.
In this way, in the case of Li Yan's mistake, he used his true side to dispel the anxiety in everyone's hearts and returned to his original appearance.
Unfortunately, such a harmonious atmosphere did not last long, and the sound of horses' hooves and roars hit.
"Not good! The Turks are plundering Wujia Village! All draw their swords and march quickly! ”
Li Yan instantly judged the direction and distance of the source of the sound.
The place where this voice came out was clearly the first destination of the inspection, Wujia Village!
Li Yan gave an order, and the grinning expressions on everyone's faces faded instantly, and even the real Zhang Dazhu, who was jealous and afraid of death and cowardice on weekdays, drew his sword without any hesitation and began to march quickly.
In just a few seconds, Li Yan and his entourage formed a cone-shaped formation headed by Li Yan, and then in just two minutes or so, the heavily armed people crossed a distance of hundreds of meters and quickly arrived in front of Wujia Village.
At this moment, as far as the eye could see, there were about twenty horses parked in front of the village, and about ten Turkic cavalry drove everyone in Wujia Village outside the village, forming a circle and surrounding all the village names.
"Save first! I'll open the opening, and you form a circle to protect the villagers! ”
Li Yan made a decision in an instant!
Thirty Turkic cavalry, he felt he could handle it!
