Although there are 100,000 troops of the Jin State, Wei Han shrank behind the Xian army, and his intention could not be clearer, it is nothing more than to let the Xian army act as cannon fodder to open the way in front as a meat pad, and the Jin army can hide behind him to brush up on experience and upgrade, without any friendly posture at all, although at this time it is only a nominal friendly army.

There are 300,000 people in the northern army of the Jin army, 150,000 are nested in Leicheng, 100,000 are new troops with almost no combat experience on the banks of the Yongxing River, 30,000 are stationed in Qiguo, and the remaining 20,000 are in Jiangdong East County, which can be described as elite.

More than eighty percent of the 100,000 soldiers in the new staff are new recruits and are in urgent need of training. Wei Han entered the war this time, and training recruits was the primary task, and it was the duty of the Xian army to send people to their heads.

Bai Liyan (Wei Xian)'s injury has not healed yet, but the wound is almost healed, thanks to his own surgeon, after the wound is sutured, the muscle tissue heals quickly, but let the long-bladed gun drill an eye in the thigh, and it is not good for half a month.

Holding on to crutches, limping and walking in the defense area of the Guangxin Army, the smell of blood in the air has become accustomed to it.

It had just rained yesterday, and the humid air mixed with disgusting microparticles stuck to the body, there was always a disgusting feeling that people could not get into the water to wash themselves up.

In the northwest of Ruitian Village, there are large corpses of the Black Turban Army, and you can still see the soldiers who cleaned up the corpses sporadically, and the ground is a pothole made by stones, and there is blood and water in the pothole. Farther away is a large mass grave, where the bodies of the Black Turban Army are buried, and I can't remember how many died.

However, the dead soldiers of the Xian army were buried in the southwest of Ruitian Village, and a total of more than 9,700 people were buried, of which 243 were from the Bailiyan Pioneer Battalion.

The vanguard battalion was full of 1,002 men, and after the fierce battle in April, 759 were still alive, 167 were disabled and withdrew from the battle, and 592 were left to fight.

Guangxin Army Ruitianzhai garrison 10,000, now only more than 5,000 left, the casualties of other armies are basically more than half, the entire Yongxing River defense line, Ruitianzhai casualties accounted for one-third, cavalry losses are the largest.

The Black Turban Army took advantage of the fact that the earthen fort on the periphery of Ruitian Village had not yet been completed, and frequently attacked day and night with cavalry, and the trebuchet was difficult to play the role of face killing, and the hard crossbow on the city wall could not reach, so the Xian army could only hedge with cavalry, and the infantry army lined up to fight with it.

In the interval, the Black Turban Army bombarded and destroyed with counterweight lever trebuchets, and sent foot soldiers to attack the city, which was difficult to stop. It was not until October that the Jin army was heavily reinforced, and the Black Turban Army was worried that the attack would fail, but it was taken advantage of by the Xian army, and began to shrink its forces to reorganize the army, and the offensive gradually converged.

"Wei Xianfeng, you are here." A clear voice came in the wind, and the young man in armor caught up from behind and said, "Is Wei Xianfeng's leg injury better?" ”

"It's okay, what are you looking for me?"

"The moldy cake that Wei Xianfeng asked his subordinates to look for last time was found for Wei Xianfeng."

The man in front of him is Su Hong, an ordinary soldier of the Bailiyan Pioneer Battalion, who is twenty-three years old this year, his hometown is a farmer in Guangxin, and he was assigned to Bailiyan when he was recruited with the army in the south. Because the horse rode well, shot fiercely, and had an active brain than others, he was transferred by Bailiyan to the chain mail team of 200 people to act as the main force.

The cake Su Hong got was already covered with a layer of white mold, and the cake was a coarse grain pancake made from grinding flour from a bean crop that had never been seen before, which was thinner than the bare cake made by the gang.

This kind of bean is drought tolerant, the environmental requirements are not high, but the harvest is low, so the local people like to sprinkle bean seeds all over the mountains all year round, widely planted and harvested, how much can be harvested each season, and there can be a lot of extra ration income in a year.

Last month, he was shot in the leg, and when he bandaged the wound camp, he accidentally found that there was a local forced conscript, and he covered the affected area with this cake with white mold, which served as an anti-inflammatory and hemostatic medicine.

There is some truth in saying that it is a home remedy, and Bailiyan thinks that it should be more of a beneficial bacteria containing antibiotics, just like penicillin and erythromycin, and if this beneficial bacteria can be purified in the future, it may be able to be used.

"Wei Xianfeng, this cake is moldy, I think that old man is used as a plaster and sticks it on the wound as a miracle medicine, Wei Xianfeng is keeping it for himself."

Su Hong said half-jokingly, Bai Liyan took the moldy cake, looked at it carefully, and said lightly:

"This is really a miracle medicine, one day, I don't know how many people's lives depend on the white mold on this cake to save their lives. Go, get some of these bean cakes, the more the better. ”

Sent Su Hong away, Bai Liyan carefully observed the white cluster colonies on the cake, a thick layer of mycelium spread over the entire bean cake like a spider web, it was such a dough cake, Bai Liyan saw with his own eyes a soldier who had a big hole in his abdomen, and he was stunned to break through the ghost gate.

In addition to antibacterial and anti-inflammatory antibiotics, this white mold may also have some kind of hemostatic ingredient. It is necessary to preserve this flora so that it can be exploited in the future when the technical conditions are ripe.

Not long after Su Hong left, Hu Mo came over, still holding a letter in his hand:

"Wei Xianfeng, how are the injuries?"

"It's much better, is the letter in General Hu's hand for the last general?"

"It's a letter from Miss Xiao'er."

Hu Mo handed over the letter, and the handwriting on the cover was Xiao Er's.

Nowadays communication is not easy, especially there is no post post, ordinary people send and receive letters is very inconvenient, Guangxin basic conditions are better than other counties, soldiers can often receive Guangxin logistics to bring family letters, but this year there are not many literate people, piggyback letters also need to spend money to hire people to write.

"Wei Xianfeng went to the account as soon as he read the letter, and the young master had something to discuss with us."

"Is it a matter of using soldiers?"

Bai Liyan asked casually, and Hu Mo said mysteriously:

"No, it's a change of guard."

"Changing guards? Guangxin army change of defense? ”

"It was the Beihai County guest army that changed defenses, and the Guantang Canal guarded by the Beihai County guest army three days ago was broken by thieves and almost lost. Zhao Shuai killed a feudal monarch in a fit of rage, and almost didn't escort Zhang Zhangyou, the eldest son of the Marquis of Dingyang, back to the tomb for questioning. ”

Hearing the news that the Guantang Canal was almost breached, Bailiyan was quite surprised.

The reason why the Guantang Canal is called "Guantang" is because the place is the only hill on the east bank of the Yongxing River, there are artificially dug irrigation canals and dams, there are Yongxing River frontal blockage, the dam is intercepted, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Zhao Xun originally let the guest army of Beihai County be stationed here, but also considering that this place is relatively safe, and he does not want to offend Zhang Jun, the Marquis of Dingyang.

After the Beihai County guest army was divided into two, Zhang Youbai, the eldest son of the Marquis of Ding Yang, was the governor of the Beihai County guest army and the general leader of the Beihai County guest army.

Four months have passed, and there has been no problem with Guantangqu, why did an accident happen when the Black Turban Army was about to die down, I can't help but be a little inexplicable. Zhao Xun also killed a feudal monarch for this reason, breaking the convention that had always been tacitly acquiesced before, and directly cut first and then played, which is obviously a bit Mingtang.

"General Hu, why was the Guantang Canal broken?"

"It is said that Zhang You was greedy for merit and chased across the river, but was counterattacked by the Black Turban Army, cut off the retreat from behind, and almost lost the crown soup canal."

"This idiot, how can there be a reason to go down the mountain and then cross the river to chase and destroy, in case the chase fails, he will be bitten, and he will have to climb the mountain when he returns, he is really stupid to go home, and his father is simply virtuous."

The advantage of being on the slope compared to the downhill is that the charge bonus is a geographical advantage, on the contrary, the physical strength of the attacker is extremely high, the battle position is unfavorable, the vision is suppressed, and it is difficult to exert all tactical ability.

If you rush down the slope and chase down the defeated enemy, you have the advantage of momentum, speed, physical strength and tactical development.

Under the slope of Guantangqu is the Yongxing River, even if the Black Turban Army fails to rush to the beach and climb the mountain, it can't rush down the hillside and then go down the river to chase the enemy.

It's easy to go down the mountain and difficult to go up the mountain, not to mention going down the mountain to cross the river, in case you are bitten by the enemy, the river is not land, and it is extremely inconvenient to flee back, not to mention that you have to climb the mountain to return to the position from the river, and it is your physical strength to toss it.

Zhang You doesn't even have basic common sense, and it is a miracle that he has persevered for four months without making a mistake.

Most of this change of defense was not Zhao Xun's meaning, but the pressure of the Inner Dynasty of Chenling.

The big Sima Jiang Yanyan is Guan Pu, and Xiao Chen, a close confidant of Ding Yang Hou, are stationed in Ruitian Village, and they have repeatedly made war exploits in more than ten battles, only Zhang You, the son of Ding Yang Hou, has not made an inch of merit in Guantangqu, Ding Yang Hou naturally can't be happy in his heart, and it is inevitable to change the defense to Ruitian Village with more combat achievements, and he can also transfer away the Guangxin Army to suppress it when he takes the opportunity.

After Hu Mo left, Baili Yan read Xiao Er's letter, the beginning was a few sticky words, the text mentioned the situation of the deserted village and Guangxin, after the Black Turban Army infiltrated Beihai County and attacked Pucheng unsuccessfully, it caused a lot of shock in Guangxin.

Rich and wealthy families have fled to the countries of the West Sea by boat for refuge, the number of displaced people in the city is increasing day by day, the public security is getting worse and worse, almost every day there are black turban army inciting notices plastered all over the street, and there are all kinds of unknown Jianghu warlocks, Fangshi everywhere in Guangxin City to practice and try immortal arts.

The Taishou Mansion and the Gongfu arrested a batch, but as a result, many people were dissatisfied, stormed the prison, and were suppressed by the county soldiers. It turned out that most of these displaced people who stormed the prison came from other places, and they did not have a nationality in Guangxin and Beihai County at all, and the others were locals who did not know the truth.

Xiao Er listed many so-called immortal techniques of Jianghu warlocks in the letter, the most typical of which is to make copper coins in an oil pot, turn gold and silver out of thin air, and deceive the common people.

The summer and autumn grain in the deserted village has been harvested, and the spinning and weaving workshops have stopped production due to the lack of cotton.

The entire Beihai County is expanding the army everywhere, after the loss of Chunan County, the Xianjun clothing production lost half of the production capacity, Muyang warehouse was occupied, two-thirds of the Xianjun army's inventory was lost, and now the clothing is in urgent need, and there is the relationship between the Guangxin Mansion, directly processing the inventory of cloth into quilts and selling them to the government, and it is more cost-effective to exchange them for rice grain, salt and iron.

After the Black Turban Army invaded the capital, the sale of strategic materials such as salt, iron, bronze and other strategic materials has stopped being sold, and the iron materials of the Guangxin Mansion are only in and out, and if the deserted village wants to get iron materials, unless there is Zhao Xun's special approval, now at this juncture, where can Zhao Xun manage these. Since you can barter, it's better than nothing.

The letter also mentioned that Xiao Er lived in the mansion for a few months, and the woman disguised herself as a man and followed Jiang Rong in and out of the market to understand the people's situation, which was a bit unexpected by Bailiyan, and it seemed that the two women got along well.

The situation is still very grim, after the failure of the Black Turban Army to attack Pucheng, a detachment of more than 10,000 infantry and miscellaneous cavalry was stationed between Dingyang, Guangxin, and Pucheng.

The Black Turban Army intends to lure out all the county soldiers of the two big cities of Dingyang and Guangxin, and then gather and annihilate them, and the three cities are each other's horns, there is no absolute superiority in troops, and it is very difficult to break through each one.
