Chapter 30 Pretending to be sick and escaping a catastrophe
"Oops......"
"I have a stomachache ......"
"I'm sick ......"
"Take me to the ...... Medic"
After lunch, Ling Xia and Lao Cui all shouted that they were uncomfortable, and after finding the doctor, everyone collectively went to the military doctor to see a doctor, and as soon as they left with their front feet, Nangong Yue rushed to the camp with their back feet.
When the team was assembled, Nangong Yue found that Ling Xia's ten-person team did not come, and after some inquiry, he learned that Lingxia's ten-person team had all eaten bad stomachs, and was seeing a doctor at the military doctor at this time, because the military situation was urgent, he didn't care about waiting for Ling Xia and them, and hurriedly shouted to the team and left.
Ling Xia, who was lying down at the military doctor pretending to be sick, heard the sound of horns in the camp, and then a sound of horses' hooves walked towards the outside of the camp.
"Captain, what are they doing here?" At this time, Lao Cui came over.
"I guess they're going to crack down on the bandits." Ling Xia said calmly.
"Bandits?" After hearing this, Lao Cui looked at Ling Xia, lowered his voice and said, "No wonder you asked the big guy to pretend to be sick, it turned out to be to escape the bandits, but how do you know that there will be a task to suppress the bandits after lunch?" ”
"Analyze it with your brain." Ling Xia pointed to his head and explained unhurriedly, "Do you remember? When I was cooking before, I asked you if you had ever met a centurion?
At that time, you told me that the centurion was called away by the centurion after delivering the cotton clothes, and I took a closer look at the circle, except for the centurion in our team who did not eat from the cafeteria, the other centurions also did not eat.
The reason why I stared at the war command post next to me was because there were people there, and the command post only allowed war officers to enter and exit, and when I saw someone there, I thought that the commanders had not eaten, so I guessed that they all went to the war command post,
There is a way that the new officer has taken office with three fires, and our regiment commander has just served as the general of the battle guard, so naturally he wants to establish merit, since he has called all the officers above the centurion level to the command post, he must have arranged combat missions. ”
"Then we should go along, how do you let the big guy lie here and pretend to be sick?" After speaking, Lao Cui sighed and said, "Oops...... The other teams all participated in the war, so we didn't go, and we missed an opportunity to make meritorious contributions. ”
"Make a." Glaring at Lao Cui, Ling Xia looked around the group, and seeing that the military doctor didn't notice him, he lowered his voice and said, "The purpose of the legion commander is to come up with a surprise attack on him and destroy several bandit dens close to the military camp.
But the commander of the regiment forgot one thing, we have traveled a long way, and the physical strength of the soldiers at this time is already in a state of overdraft, and we have not yet adapted to the water and soil here, and we are not familiar with the terrain and landform here, and even the number and equipment of the bandits are not clear.
Even if the corps commander grasped some clues in advance and formulated a special battle plan, but in the exhausted state of the soldiers, the effect would be greatly reduced, and if he attacked so rashly today, even if he could barely win, he would definitely hurt the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800. ”
Speaking of this, several military doctors came over, and when they saw this, Ling Xia immediately shut up, lying on the side and humming, and after listening to Ling Xia's analysis, Lao Cui nodded with admiration, and then, he also followed Ling Xia's appearance and fell into the corner humming......
Returning to the camp with a few packets of herbs from the military doctor, Ling Xia looked out, it seemed that all the people of the Warhammer Division had left, while the camps of the Tiger Division and the Iron Division were empty.
"Lao Cui, I'll give you a task."
After thinking about it for a while, after Ling Xia called Lao Cui over, he handed him dozens of copper coins on his body, and then assigned him a task, from today onwards, let him make friends with the soldiers of various divisions and regiments, and strive to have friends in all three divisions within a month.
"It's okay to make friends, it's what I'm best at, but what do you mean by giving me this money?" Lao Cui held the copper coin and looked at Ling Xia with a blank expression.
"Of course it's a business, you think it's for you to spend a lot of money?" After speaking, Ling Xia instructed Lao Cui: "Find a way to get a map of Baishi Province, preferably the kind of map of the whole picture." ”
"Maps? What's the use of that? Lao Cui scratched his head: "Every Qianfu seems to have such a map, when performing tasks, the officers will practice their positions on the sand table in advance, and the division is also specially equipped with pacesetters to lead the way, so it seems useless for us to ask for a map." ”
"If you want to get it, you can get it, where did you get so many opinions? Besides, I paid for the map, not you, why are you so verbose? After teasing him angrily, Ling Xia pointed out the door and motioned to Lao Cui to hurry up and get down to business.
To say that Lao Cui's ability is really not covered, three or four hours later, Lao Cui came back, after tying the horse, he returned to the camp in a hurry, at this moment, the five Luo brothers and Yang Lucai were asleep, and Shangguan Hui and the others also went back to rest.
After seeing Ling Xia, Lao Cui took out a stack of leather maps from his arms, and then he took out a map about the size of a door panel made of oiled paper cloth, and after unfolding the oiled paper map, it was divided into ten areas, and each area was marked with arrows.
After carefully checking the arrows and remarks on the map, Ling Xia was overjoyed, he never expected that this map made of oil paper would be a military deployment map of the entire ten provinces of Xiaofeng Xinjiang.
Carefully put away the military deployment map, and then Ling Xia unfolded the stack of maps in turn, those were all maps made of sheepskin, and carefully counted them, there were ten copies of the parchment map in total.
Like the military deployment map of the ten provinces of Xiaofeng Xinjiang, these maps are also full of various military markers, and each map has a line of introduction: Tongjiang Province Military Defense Map, Baishi Province Military Defense Map, Lanfeng Province Military Defense Map......
After a cursory look at those sheepskin maps, Ling Xia showed a surprised and happy expression, the maps made of ten sheepskins turned out to be military combat maps in the ten provinces of Xiaofeng Xinjiang, which marked the location of each bandit group and the deployment of military forces in detail and accurately.
"Old Cui, where did you get these treasures?" Ling Xia asked in a trembling tone.
"I got it from a veteran, he was originally the janitor of the General's Mansion, after the Guards were transferred and replaced, he took out some things in the General's Mansion and sold them, and the valuable things were taken away by the people of the General's Mansion, and he only got these broken maps."
Saying this, Lao Cui smashed his mouth, pointed to these maps and said: "When I found that guy, his wife was about to cut these sheepskin maps into insoles, and I talked to that guy, and I bought all these sheepskin maps for ten copper coins."
Seeing that I was spending money happily, when I was leaving, his wife took out this oil-paper map from the kitchen, saying that it was used to lay out the table under the cutting board, and asked me if I wanted it? I didn't understand this either, and when I saw the lines drawn on it, I paid two copper coins to collect it. ”
"My God, fortunately you went early, otherwise these treasures would be gone, Lao Cui, you have made a great contribution." After listening to the process of Lao Cui's acquisition of the map, Ling Xia's face palpitated, if Lao Cui hadn't gone in time, these valuable military maps would have been destroyed.
After praising Lao Cui, Ling Xia put away all the other maps, leaving only the military combat deployment map of Baishi Province, according to the landforms and remarks marked on the map, Ling Xia found the headquarters of the Battle Guard Army at a glance.
"Bagong Mountain! Warp Cloud Peak! ”
After observing along the lines on the map, Ling Xia pointed to two peaks not far from the headquarters of the Battle Guard Army, and then he muttered to himself: "According to the standard data on the map, there is a group of bandits entrenched on Bagong Mountain and Qiaoyun Peak.
Bagong Mountain is forty miles away from the base camp Yue, and there is a group of more than 2,700 mountain bandits on the mountain. And Qiaoyun Peak is almost more than fifty miles away from here, and there is a group of more than 3,800 horse bandits entrenched under the peak.
If the information on the map is correct, the two divisions and regiments dispatched tonight should have cleared these two bandit dens, and the bandit dens of thousands of people actually dispatched two divisions and regiments, and it seems that the corps commander wants to strengthen the troops and suppress the territory, so as to win more and less, so as to improve morale and merit. ”
After whispering, Ling Xia put away the map, and then beckoned Lao Cui to sleep, seeing Ling Xia lying down and sleeping, Lao Cui couldn't help but be stunned, and asked him if he was waiting for the team to return to the camp? Ling Xia didn't explain much about this problem, but just told Lao Cui that there was no need to wait, and the team that played would not be able to come back until early tomorrow morning at the earliest.
Although he didn't know why Ling Xia was so sure, seeing that Ling Xia had already slept with his head covered, Lao Cui shook his head, and then didn't think much about it, returned to his bed, lay down and rested and slept.
The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, a noise came from outside the camp tent, after hearing this sound, Ling Xia and the others all got up to check outside, only to see that the camp was full of wounded and bloody soldiers at this time, and the military doctors were busy and began to treat the wounded.
After Ling Xia saw those blood-stained soldiers, his eyes suddenly fluttered, his legs began to weaken, his forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat, and his whole body twitched, it turned out that he was faint.
"Captain, what's wrong with you?"
"It was fine just now, why is it like this in the blink of an eye?"
After seeing Ling Xia's state, Lao Cui and Yang Lucai suddenly became anxious, and just as they were about to carry Ling Xia to see the military doctor, a roar suddenly came from outside the camp tent: "Ling Xia, you coward like a mouse, you come out for me, I ......"
While speaking, Nangong Yue angrily entered the camp tent, wanting to settle accounts with Ling Xia and ask him why he escaped from the battle last night, but as soon as he came in, he was just in time for Ling Xia to fall ill, and when he saw Ling Xia who was about to go into shock, Nangong Yue's words immediately choked back: "Is he really sick this -------?" I thought he was pretending to be sick last night, so hurry up and send him to the military doctor. ”
Ling Xia's illness onset quickly, and his recovery was also very fast, as long as he came to his senses, rested for a while, and stopped watching the blood, it would be fine, after leaving from the military doctor, Ling Xia returned to the camp.
At this moment, Lao Cui and Shangguan Hui were both in the tent, and Nangong Yue was sighing in frustration, seeing that Ling Xia was back, he asked Ling Xia about his physical condition, and after learning that Ling Xia was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then, Nangong Yue told everyone in a heavy tone:
"You were fortunate to be sick yesterday, which allowed a few of you to escape, last night the division issued an emergency military order, ordering our 10,000 people to participate in the suppression of bandits, in the process of suppressing bandits, our 100-strong team suffered heavy losses, I brought more than 90 soldiers, only eight people came back, and the rest of the brothers ------- all ------ killed!"
