"Yes." Ma Xiaoliu immediately agreed.

At this time, there was no serious industrial pollution in Liaodong, and the snow was also crystals formed by pure water condensation, not artificial snowfall caused by chemical agents.

Ye Fu instructed the soldiers to find the dead branches, set up the pot, light the fire, put the snow in the pot and boiled it, and then waited until it boiled to make a pot of hot water.

With hot water, soaking in Zhengliao cakes, it is a meal.

Since these soldiers followed Ye Fu, they hadn't eaten so badly for a while.

Ye Fu observed the soldiers under his command and took in their faces. He could understand the difference in countenance, but he was not going to guide it. There are some things that they have to solve on their own.

He ate in silence, looking at the completely dark sky, but he couldn't help frowning.

It has been a short period of time since Ma Xiaoliu went to set up a guard, but he has not come back yet. I don't know what happened to Ye Fu, which made Ye Fu feel a little uneasy inexplicably.

After waiting for a while, Ye Fu looked at the soldiers who were already sitting on the ground and dozing off one after another, frowned, hesitated, and didn't know if he should go to find it.

If you look for it, these soldiers are not suitable to lead the team, otherwise if they lose a piece, Ye Fu will be even more troubled. But if he brought someone to find it himself, who should he arrange for the soldiers left behind? Go together, then it will be even more impossible.

Just as he hesitated, he was alerted by the dull sound of horses' hooves trampling on the snow. When I saw the person clearly, I breathed a sigh of relief, but then, I regained my heart.

"What's going on?"

Seeing that Ma Xiaoliu commanded his subordinates, he placed another person on his horseback flat on the ground. Seeing this person's face clearly, Ye Fu couldn't help but be shocked.

Fang Mengda!

A few hours ago, I watched him lead people away from outside the Sanyang Military Fort, how long has it been, how did he become like this?

He was stained with blood all over his body, thick in some places and light in others. It looks like the injury is not light, but he can't tell where his blood is and where is someone else's.

"The wounds have been treated briefly, and Deputy General Fang's injuries are not too serious, but they are too tired. He said he had to tell you in person, so we had to take him with us. On the way, he couldn't hold it anymore and fainted, and he didn't know when he would wake up. ”

Listening to Ma Xiaoliu's chatter, Ye Fu frowned and looked at Fang Mengda, and let out a long sigh, "Let him wake up as soon as possible, I want to know what happened." ”

In the long winter of the forty-seventh year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, after Ye Fu took over the garrison of Sanyang, the first encounter in the area under his jurisdiction was unprepared by both the enemy and us, and it started unexpectedly.

Giethoorn Village, a village that was not even written on the rough military map of this era, was only about six miles away from Yongdian Fort, but it became the burial place of dozens of soldiers of the left banner of the Lu Ding Camp under Ye Fu in the first battle.

Ye Fu had no doubt that if such a record let the incoming Xiong Tingbi know that under the shadow of the loss of Kaiyuan, it is estimated that he will not be able to do this garrison for two days, and he will be dismissed and imprisoned, or sent back to the original guard.

At this time, it was already late at night, and Ye Fu was standing in the temporary headquarters built by Lu Ding's men, looking at the absolutely rough map hanging up with his hands behind his back, frowning, thinking about the next arrangement.

Behind him, Lu Ding's extremely impulsive voice kept pouring out like thunder, making everyone feel an unbearable low pressure rushing towards him.

"Rubbish! Eater! Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while. I really don't know what the use of the court raising you is! So many people were beaten to pieces by the Tartars in one charge. You are also worthy of being soldiers of the Ming Dynasty! You're the one who has the most pocket! Fang Mengda! You bastard! Training, training, what kind of soldiers have you trained! The adults' food is fed to the dog's belly! Dozens of soldiers alive didn't even have time to resist, and they died in a dream like this, which is simply a great shame! ”

Fang Mengda had woken up.

After waking up from the coma, he filled some things into his stomach, and his whole body was slightly better than before, but his face was still a little pale, and he looked weak.

Lu Ding scolded him, and he didn't dare to resist.

This was originally his old boss, who had a bad temper, but he still had the ability. Fang Mengda came to obey him, second, he was afraid of him, and third, he did something wrong, and he couldn't complain about others.

Therefore, just keep your head down and look like you are repenting with your heart.

Naturally, the other people under Lu Ding didn't dare to intercede for him, and the scene was extremely cold for a while.

It was Ma Xiaoliu, who looked at Lu Ding, who was furious, then at Ye Fu, who was facing away from everyone, and then at the poor Fang Mengda, he hesitated for a moment and stood up.

"My lord, General Lu, in my opinion, Deputy Commander Fang has also learned a lesson, forget it, right? Our top priority, isn't it still how to eat this group of Tartar soldiers? ”

Lu Ding's eyebrows stood up when he heard this, glared at him, and immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and scolded Ma Xiaoliu: "What do you know? What do you know? A flag of soldiers and horses, armor is not draped, the knife is not mentioned, and it is slaughtered in a dream, is this a trivial matter? ”

Ma Xiaoliuyuan is not a very good temper, and he is a pro-soldier by Ye Fu's side, originally he was just persuaded by the peacemaker, but when he was scolded by Lu Ding, he naturally had a lot of temper. He glared and choked back, "Then what do you want!" ”

"I ......" Lu Ding's eyes were bloodshot and glared at Ma Xiaoliu.

"Enough!" Ye Fu snorted, frowned, and turned around.

Lu Ding was stopped by him, and stared at Ma Xiaoliu.

Ye Fu looked at the two of them, then looked at the culprit who lowered his head and kept silent, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, tried to calm his tone, and said, "Give me a few words!" Giethoorn loses, which no one wants to see! Xiao Liu is right in one sentence, the top priority is how to eliminate this group of Tartar soldiers! It's time to be united! What can you do? ”

After that, he looked at Fang Mengda and asked him, "Mengda, how is the injury?" Do you want to go back to Sanyang to rest for a while? ”

After hearing this, Fang Mengda immediately understood what he meant.

If he really intended to ask him to rest, Ye Fu didn't need to ask him what he thought. Asking this question also shows that Ye Fu meant that he wanted him to say 'no need'.

In fact, Fang Mengda also felt that his heart was very bad.

His flag was stationed in Giethoorn this evening, a village that had been abandoned for an unknown amount of time, and there were no people in it. Because he was tired from the journey, Fang Mengda ordered the cooking smoke to be raised and each cooked. After eating, when I rested, it was just getting dark. As a result, who knows, just such inches. One of the Tartars' cavalry plundered a number of livestock, people, and saw the village on the way back.

When the Tartars attacked, the soldiers were still asleep, and the soldiers who had no power to fight back were slaughtered by the Tartars like civilians, and it was Fang Mengda who escaped by luck, and he was also seriously injured.

Before this, Fang Mengda never thought that he would be so defeated.

After thinking about it carefully, he also felt that he was on fire, and raised his head and said to Ye Fu: "My lord, the humble position is only a slight injury, and it is not in the way. The terrain of Giethoorn is more familiar, please give me a chance to lead the soldiers and kill those brutes! ”

"Well, fortunately, there is still ambition!" Ye Fu nodded, basically satisfied with his attitude. But fighting a war is not just about one attitude. He changed his words and said, "However, I don't think your injuries are light, so it's better to fight." Lu put the total! ”

Lu Ding glanced at Fang Mengda, clenched his fists and bowed, "Humble duty." ”

Ye Fu instructed: "Ask you to borrow someone!" Fang Mengda, temporarily seconded to me, I will use him to lead the way. ”

Lu Ding hurriedly replied, "The lowly position is the commander under the adult, and the soldiers and horses under his command are all under the adult, so naturally obey the adult's dispatch, and the lowly position does not dare to have any objections." Please command, the humble duty was driven by the adult. ”

"No, you don't have to use your people for a while." Ye Fu said, "In this operation, it is enough for me to take my own soldiers at half-mast. As for you, take your people and surround the periphery, and if any Tartar soldiers break through and escape, they will all be killed by me! ”

"Yes, obedience." Lu Ding agreed, but felt inappropriate in his heart, "My lord, otherwise...... Or do you sit in the rear and lead people to exterminate the Tartars? You are ......"

"Needless to say!" Ye Fu waved his hand impatiently and said to him, "Such a shame, if you don't find the field in person, Lao Tzu will never be able to swallow this breath!" Besides, where did this Tartar army plunder the men and animals? Mostly from my military fort! It is ridiculous that the police do not report and conceal their criminal responsibility! Xiaoliu, take your people, come with me. ”

Ma Xiaoliu raised his eyebrows at Lu Ding very proudly, and the provocation in his eyes was extremely strong.

Lu Ding turned his head and glared at Fang Mengda fiercely, in the final analysis, it was this guy's lack of anger that made him lose face in front of Ye Fu.

Liaodong is a plain, but it is also mountainous, as the saying goes, 'six mountains, one water and three fields'. Although Giethoorn is not famous at all, you can tell from the name that the terrain should be relatively complex.

Sandwiched between the two mountains is a village, the front of the village is relatively open, and the back of the village is relatively narrow. There are no stout numbers around, but there is no shortage of small, dry bushes.

Ye Fu couldn't help but sigh that God was still very good to him.

At this time, it is already the darkest time of the night before dawn, and it stands to reason that these few hours should be the most exhausted and relaxed time of the day. If you choose this time to sneak attack, you should have a good chance of success.

But Ye Fu hesitated at this time.

What his subordinates brought was no longer the group that didn't collect at night.

The old subordinates he brought to Sanyang were almost all replenished to the bottom of each battalion at the beginning. Although many of the former brothers met the selection criteria when the pro-soldier flag was selected and supplemented, under Ye Fu's deliberate interference, only a few of them were re-recruited and arranged in the position of deputy flag chief or team leader.

At this time, except for Ma Xiaoliu, none of the veterans he brought out were accustomed to fighting. Even, some of them have never seen blood, and they are pure recruits who have only undergone a very short period of training.
