Chapter Forty-Six: The Opportunity to Grow a Face Has Come
In the baggage camp, Lao Fan dragged Su Lu into the camp tent.
"Brothers, sit down, you're welcome, sit down."
Lao Fan beckoned everyone to sit down, quickly poured a glass of wine, raised his neck and drank it cleanly, and signaled to everyone with the clean wine glass:
"Do it first as a respect, I thank you on behalf of the tens of thousands of brothers in the Chinese army battalion, your food is too timely, and the leader army will soon have no food."
Su Ping snatched the wine jar from Lao Fan's hand, filled the wine glasses one by one, and counted Lao Fan with a smile:
"Lao Fan, Lao Fan, when I was moving grain just now, I heard from the brothers in the baggage battalion that your old Fan got another opportunity to drink without disobeying military law."
Lao Fan smiled and said negatively: "No, no, no, my Lao Fan has always been forced to drink helplessly, I only drank in order to accompany you, and I was forced to be helpless, to be honest, my Lao Fan doesn't like to drink, I don't like it very much." ”
"Tsk, that's so fragrant."
Lao Fan smashed his mouth and turned to Su Lu: "Captain Su, dare to ask how you passed through the Erlong Mountain area?" There were so many bandits there, many of them even colluded with the Thule people, and they made trouble for us everywhere, and if it weren't for the confrontation with Tulle, the commander would have pacified them a long time ago. ”
Su Ping's eyebrows fluttered and said: "Of course it was fought, Lao Fan, you don't think that the bandits sent us out, let me tell you, in the battle with Erlong Mountain, blood flowed all over the ground, dead bodies were everywhere, and the rain washed all night, and the blood on the ground was not washed away." ”
Several officers of the baggage battalion who were rubbing wine suddenly became interested: "Really? Can such a large-scale battle take place in the rear? Let's talk about it, are the bandits in Erlong Mountain powerful, I heard that there are a lot of guards planted in their hands, and more than a dozen guard camps are planted at the foot of Erlong Mountain. ”
Su Ping became interested, simply dropped the wine glass, and began to blow the cowhide.
Su Lu ate a little casually, then went out of the camp tent, looked at his soldiers and people, they had all been arranged to eat, and the pack horses were also fed with forage, so he took two mixed noodles and steamed buns from the room, filled a bag of cold boiled water with a water bag, and found a random place to squat down and start eating.
The multigrain steamed bun was a little hard, the rough grains pulled through the throat, a hot feeling, Su Lu poured a few mouthfuls of water, but it was not relieved, and when he was coughing, a bowl of vegetable soup was handed over.
"Drink the vegetable soup and rush down."
Su Lu took it and took a sip, and the vegetable leaves in the vegetable soup flowed into the stomach wrapped in rough steamed buns, and the warm ironing was very comfortable.
"Thank you, Brother Wang."
Su Lu returned the bowl to the old man and squatted against the pillar.
Lao Wang nibbled on mixed noodles and steamed buns, drank vegetable soup, and nagged: "Su Duwei, why don't you go to eat in the tent, those officials have gone, eat this like our people, are you stupid." ”
Su Lu smiled, didn't speak, it was indeed a little silly, this mixed noodle steamed bun is really unpalatable, hard and bitter, and the steamed bun he ate in later generations is not half a star, I have to think of a way to go back, how to grind the flour grinding plate.
"Can't you get used to seeing them waste? I don't like it, but what can I do? ”
Lao Wang drank the vegetable soup and continued to chatter.
"We can't drink enough of this vegetable soup, but those of them who are officials can hide in the camp tent and drink wine and eat meat, which is a waste. In such a large camp, there are tens of thousands of soldiers who eat food, and their waste of this meal is enough for a meal for hundreds of sergeants. ”
Su Lu glanced at Lao Wang in surprise, he didn't expect that he, a man who drove pack horses, would have such insight, it was not easy.
Lao Wang saw that Su Lu was interested, and immediately became interested, and said cross-legged:
"Let me tell you, Su Duwei, my old king has been used to suffering since he was a child, and the years and months were much more bitter than now, the Tule people buckled the side, and it was not Suozibao Beizheng who was beaten, but our Beiyang, don't say that you are full, and your life may be gone at any time."
"As far as my little friend Sun Xiaotian grew up with, he has an elder brother, who was clamoring to go out to when he passed by the Thule people outside, and as soon as he ran out of the hall door, he was killed by an arrow that flew in from outside the courtyard."
"Emperor Daxing is powerful, he beat these grandsons out, and our life in Beiyang is better, we can eat a full meal, and we don't have to worry about being shot to death in our own yard."
Lao Wang was very talkative, and he didn't notice that the vegetable soup in the bowl was cold.
Su Lu asked for a scoop of hot water from the room, added it to the vegetable soup for Lao Wang, and suddenly stood up in Lao Wang's stacks of thanks.
The sound of horses' hooves was urgent, the earth shook, and it seemed that herds of horses were charging across the grassland.
"Enemy Attack"
Su Lu blurted out and shouted.
To have such a dense sound of horses' hooves, it must be a brigade of Tulle people to attack.
"Preparing for War"
Su Lu stuffed the multigrain steamed bun into his satchel, turned around and pulled his horse, jumped on horseback, and carefully observed the Thule army in the distance.
Various arrows appeared, pointing out the direction of attack of the Tule army formation, but the guards had not yet left the camp to meet the battle, and even if there was a weakness, Su Lu could only stare dryly.
Soon, the gates of the camp were opened, and a group of cavalry marched out of the city to meet the galloping cavalry of the guards.
Su Lu couldn't help but be disappointed in the general under his command, now the Thule cavalry is only a stone's throw away from the camp, and now out of the camp, the cavalry can't gather momentum at all, and before they can rush up, they are about to start the battle, how can they fight.
Sure enough, the guards who met it were not the opponents of the Thule cavalry, and as soon as they looked at each other, they were chiseled through the military formation, and the battle formation was divided into two halves, and in the blink of an eye, they were divided and eliminated, and those who escaped were only two or three out of ten.
"Why are the guards so good, they can't even beat the same number of Thuleans."
Such voices came from among the people.
"It's not the first time that the Wei army has lost a battle, I really miss the demeanor of Emperor Daxing leading the troops."
"The current guards can't do it."
The people lamented that they would not be able to return until the Ulle were defeated by the Guards, and that if the camp was broken by the Tulle, they would not even be able to return home.
Lao Wang squeezed to Su Lu's side again, and said thoughtfully: "I can't die, I still have three daughters to raise, and there is a blind old lady above, if I die, there will be no one to take care of them." ”
"Heavenly spirit, earth spirit, please God bless me to manifest my spirit."
Su Lu patted Lao Wang's shoulder and pointed to the camp gate: "Two more teams of guards have been killed, and they will definitely be able to solve the siege of this group of Tule people, Lao Wang, you just put your stomach in your heart, we will win."
Before Su Lu's words fell, the two guard battalions were divided and surrounded again, the same tactics, the same clean and neat, the two teams were quickly killed, so that Su Lu's judgment of the guards was not exported, and he was born in the stomach.
The three teams of guards came out of the camp, and were again divided and defeated beautifully.
Lao Wang's chattering voice is full of crying, he is the pillar of the family, if he dies, there is no hair in the family, and the three daughters may be sold.
"If I'm dead, our family will be ruined."
Lao Wang complained to Su Lu with a crying voice.
Su Lu patted Lao Wang's shoulder: "Don't worry, Lao Wang, with me, you will be fine." ”
After tidying up his clothes and armor, Su Lu took the soup bowl from Lao Wang's hand, took a sip, turned around and walked towards the Chinese army camp.
After watching the battle for a while just now, the current Tulle cavalry is already full of various arrows representing weaknesses, Su Lu is very confident, as long as he lets his patrol battalion take action, it will not be a piece of cake to kill this Tulle cavalry.
Well, this is an opportunity to save people, and it is also an opportunity to grow a face.
The opportunity to grow a face came, and I went to the Chinese army to ask for an errand.
