Chapter 1199: Keep Touching the Past
Li Yan got off the horse, dragged his tired and stiff body and slowly moved to a tree and sat down.
It wasn't so obvious on the horseback just now, but as soon as he sat down, he felt a piercing pain coming out of all parts of his body, especially the joints everywhere like pins and needles, so painful that he couldn't help but let out a muffled snort, and his body couldn't help but tilt to the side.
Seeing this, the guards on the side hurriedly supported him.
"Strategist, are you alright?"
Li Yan shook his head: "It's okay, maybe I'm too tired, muddy...... The pain all over my body is like drilling into a thorn forest, and my knees and elbows hurt my heart. ”
This guard is also an old man, he looked up at the light rain that was still falling in the sky and frowned: "Strategist, you are not only tired, but you have been invaded by the wind evil after encountering this ghost weather, which caused rheumatism, you take off your clothes first, and then roll up the trouser legs, and I will wipe you with medicine." ”
After speaking, the guard first took out a porcelain bottle from the bag behind him, poured some paste-like things out of it and poured it on his hands, and began to apply this paste-like liquid on Li Yan's arms, knees, footknots and other places, and then rubbed it vigorously with his hands.
"Shhh...... You're light......"
The guard was so hard that at first Li Yan almost screamed in pain, but after a while, he felt a stream of heat rise in his arms, arms, ankles, knees, and other places, and the original cold and tingling sensation in his body began to disappear.
Li Yan, who was so comfortable that he almost groaned, couldn't help but give the guard a thumbs up: "I said Lao Li, you are this!" ”
The thirty-year-old, honest-looking guard smiled proudly: "That's, don't hide it from the military advisor, this ointment is an ancestral thing, it has a miraculous effect on rheumatism, bruises, broken bones and other injuries, and it has always been passed on to men but not women." ”
"Then why are you still following King Chuang to eat this bowl of severed head rice, with your skills, why can't you eat with your mouthful?"
The guard touched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I thought the same way, but since I did this by mistake, I found that my previous life was in vain."
I've been doing this for many years, and I've killed people and slept with a rich lady over the years, not to mention how comfortable it feels. Strategist, if I only be a barefoot doctor, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to sleep with those rich ladies in another hundred years, so I still think it's best to follow King Chuang as a rebel, and if you want to grab the silver, you can also grab the mother-in-law, why do you still work hard to serve people for those few taels of silver? ”
Seeing the smug look in the guard's eyes that could not be concealed, Li Yan was silent.
It was still drizzling in the sky, and Jiangnan in May still had a hint of coolness, but Li Yan felt that his heart was even colder......
The rain in the sky became heavier and heavier, and the original light rain turned into raindrops the size of beans and continued to pour on the ground, and the official roads that were originally pitted and potholed completely became mud puddles. If you have to ride a horse in such weather and terrain, you will fall to the ground with your horse if you are not careful.
It's afternoon.
On a hillside near both sides of the official road, hundreds of cavalry of the Jiangning Army had all dismounted and were hiding under a large rock to avoid the rain.
These Jiang Ning soldiers were all wearing raincoats and rain boots on their feet, and there were several large basins in the middle of the crowd, and a pile of firewood was burning under each basin, boiling the water in the basin incessantly.
After a while, a Jiang Ningjun tore open the packaging bag of more than ten packets of instant noodles and poured them all into the basin, and after a few minutes, he took out a few seasoning packets and poured all the seasonings inside, and soon a large pot of hot noodles was ready.
If people in modern society see such a scene, it is estimated that they will have a very familiar sense of déjà vu.
Of course, these instant noodles were also brought by Yang Feng from modern society, and Yang Feng, who has always believed that sufficient logistics is the most powerful guarantee for winning battles, has never spared any effort in the investment of the troops.
In addition to equipping the troops with war-ready food such as compressed biscuits, he also specially purchased a large number of instant noodles in modern society and distributed them to the combat troops, so that the soldiers could eat a hot meal when the logistics could not keep up with the wartime.
Don't underestimate such a hot meal, it is very likely that a hot meal will boost the morale of the troops.
Even in the 21st century, instant noodles are still an indispensable food for many Chinese troops when they march and train under difficult conditions.
Like now, although it is still raining in the sky and the weather is chilly, the sergeants of the Jiangning Army, who are wearing raincoats and rain boots, and eating sour, hot and spicy instant noodles, are very happy one by one.
After having food in the stomach, the whole person felt hot on his body, and the fatigue and speed of the day's forced march were dispelled without a trace.
Like an ordinary sergeant, Cao Yingmao, who was covered with a raincoat and rain boots on his feet, couldn't tell that this was a guerrilla general from the outside, but he drank the last mouthful of soup in the bowl in a big gulp, and then stretched the bowl into the open space, let the rain wash it away, and then stuffed it into his backpack, and then wiped his greasy mouth with the back of his hand, and then said to the people around him.
"Everyone is not full, hurry up and come over to get together, Lao Tzu has something to explain."
In the Jiangning Army, Cao Yingmao's temper is very similar to Chu Maoguang, both of them are aggressive, they speak and do things relatively straight, except for formal occasions, they don't like to use the officialdom to do things on weekdays, and it is common to open Lao Tzu and close Lao Tzu.
After dozens of people gathered, Cao Yingmao looked at the crowd: "Now our people and thieves have been disrupted, although the thieves have been defeated, but our people have been chaotic because they rushed too fast, although just now I asked the communication soldiers to try to contact with walkie-talkies, but the mountains here are high and dense, the signal is intermittent, and we can only barely contact two hundred-person teams, even so they are dozens of miles away from us, so now we can only rely on ourselves." ”
A chief asked with a bitter face: "General, now that this ghost weather is not to mention chasing thieves, it is difficult to walk, do we still want to continue chasing?" Besides, we have too few people, right? ”
"Why don't you chase?"
Cao Yingmao snorted: "It's inconvenient for us, is it convenient for thieves?" Let me tell you, the thieves are ten times more sad than we are today!
Thanks to the love of Grandpa Guo, we can still eat fragrant noodles and drink hot soup, but I am sure that the thieves can't even drink cold water, and it would be good to be able to stand up at this time.
Why don't we continue to kill them at this time? As for the problem of few people, do you think that the thieves can still gather a large number of people now? ”
Cao Yingmao's sergeants agreed very much, and they had to take advantage of the time they fell into the water to beat the dogs, which was not a normal thing, so Cao Yingmao took a hundred or so cavalry to continue to chase in the direction of the official road......
