Seeing that Di Qing was injured, the soldiers hurriedly came over to help bandage it, Di Qing just snorted angrily and waved his hand, pushed several people aside, sat on the ground at will, and didn't say a word.

Taking advantage of this effort, Ye Sheng picked up a waist knife and looked at it, the blade had long been rusty, not to mention killing the enemy, even killing pigs, no wonder Di Qing was angry, taking this kind of weapon to the battlefield, it was simply a matter of disregarding human life.

"General Di Qing, don't be in a hurry to get angry first, let's think of a way." Ye Sheng said with a smiling face.

"What's the solution? If you are willing to write a letter to Xiwen Gong and ask him to set aside a good weapon, the surname Di Qing is grateful, otherwise please leave! Di Qing turned his head, unwilling to look at Ye Sheng.

Ye Sheng didn't give up, sending charcoal in the snow is much better than icing on the cake. Ye Sheng's expression was solemn, he walked up to Di Qing, bowed and saluted, and said: "General Di Qing, although Fan Xianggong is my teacher, but the Western Xia War is a major military event, he will not ask me for instructions, I only know after listening to what the general said." "The implication is that you shouldn't be angry with me.

Di Qing was stunned for a moment, his face was ashamed, and he sighed: "Di Qing is a rough person, don't blame the little minister, I just can't figure it out, can all my men in Huaxia die?" It's infuriating to give good weapons to foreign soldiers rather than give them to us! ”

The foreign tribes mentioned here refer to Fan Zhongyan, who suggested strengthening the border defenses, sticking to Liyan, and recruiting Naxi Qiang to join (when the Qiang people were Yuan Hao's guide and used for their use), Xu Tu Xixia, and Renzong adopted. Fan Zhongyan also asked for the construction of the fortresses of Chengping and Yongping, and the twelve old fortresses were converted into cities, so that the exiled people and the Qiang people could return.

Yuan Hao marched into Weizhou (now Pingliang, Gansu), Renzong approved Xia Zhu's counteroffensive plan, and Han Qi ordered Yin Zhu to meet Fan Zhongyan and contact him to send troops at the same time. Fan Zhongyan believed that the time was not yet ripe for a counteroffensive and insisted on not complying. Han Qi sent the deputy capital of Huanqing Road to deploy Ren Fu to lead the troops to attack, the Western Xia army was frustrated and retreated, Ren Fu ordered a quick pursuit, chased to the foot of Liupan Mountain in the Western Xia Realm, and was ambushed and surrounded by Haoshuichuan, Ren Fu and other sixteen generals were killed, and more than 10,000 soldiers were lost (the battle of Haoshuichuan). In April, Renzong demoted Xia Zhu to Haozhou, and Fan Zhongyan was appointed as a member of the household department, Wailang, Zhiyaozhou, and his responsibilities remained unchanged.

In May, Fan Zhongyan changed his knowledge to Gyeongju and deployed the secretary of Huanqing Road. When Yuan Hao raised his army, he contacted the Qiang people and agreed that more than 600 chiefs of Huanqing Road would be their guides. After Fan Zhongyan arrived, he rewarded the Qiang tribes in the name of the imperial court, signed a treaty with them, and strictly rewarded and punished, and the Qiang tribe broke away from Western Xia and served the Song Dynasty. In order to further stabilize the border defense, Fan Zhongyan built Dashun City to stop the enemy attack in the area of White Leopard City and Quantang City; At the same time, repair the thin waist, Hulu and other military fortresses, cut off the enemy's access, so that the Mingzhu and Zang tribes can return to the Great Song Dynasty with peace of mind. History says that now there are Qiang people to vote, Mr. Fan is still very means.

In the final analysis, it is necessary to train our own strong soldiers in order to reshape the border defense.

"General Di Qing, I don't know if you can trust me?" Ye Sheng leaned over and asked.

Di Qing let out a long sigh and nodded.

"Xiao Xianggong, my Di Qing can successfully recruit and train soldiers, you have helped a lot, I can trust you!"

Thinking of this, the corners of Ye Sheng's mouth rose and he smiled slightly.

"General Di Qing, can't you train without weapons and armor?"

Di Qing rolled his eyes and sneered: "What? Did Xie Yuangong let the brothers take their chests to death? ”

"Of course not, we have a lot of weapons in front of us."

"Where?"

Ye Sheng smiled and pointed to the bamboo forest next to the barracks, and said calmly: "It's there!" ”

Click, the woodcutter waved like a fly, and in a short time, more than a dozen bamboos were cut down. Ye Sheng selected one by one, picked up the moderately thick and excellent toughness of the bamboo, cut out a length of five or six zhang, and the branches on it were slightly trimmed, and the longest one was more than two feet. Holding it in his hand and dancing twice, Ye Sheng couldn't stop panting, after all, his strength had not yet grown, but a strong soldier could use it after training.

He happily returned to the barracks with the bamboo pole, tied a half-foot-long spear head to the front of the bamboo pole, and then roasted the branches on both sides with fire, bent them into various shapes, and finally soaked them in tung oil. If you officially go to the battlefield, you can also apply poison to increase the lethality.

After some tossing, the bamboo pole has become a complete killer, and it still has a resounding name...... Wolves!

That's right, it is the sharp weapon that Qi Jiajun relied on to become famous, grabbing the wolf in his hand, Ye Sheng muttered silently: "Brother Qi, you haven't been born yet, don't blame me for plagiarism, everything is to fight against the great cause of Western Xia." ”

Ye Sheng sent the finished wolf whisk to Di Qingbo, and said with a smile: "General Di Qing, what do you think of this thing?" ”

Di Qingbo didn't speak, took it in his hand, danced twice, the weight was a little big, and the branches were forked, it was very inconvenient, he frowned, his big hand kept brushing on the bamboo pole, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Tian San, you guys take it

Attack me with a sword! ”

When Tian San heard this, he hurriedly pulled out his waist knife and put on a good posture.

The two sides are full of momentum, Tian San took the lead, a knife cut over, Di Qing used a wolf, the knife fell on the branches, cut a few, the force was unloaded, Di Qing waved his hand, pulled Tian San's shoulder, and knocked him out, if you use the tip of the gun, I am afraid that Tian San at this time will either die or be injured.

When the others saw that this strange weapon was so powerful, they all came to the spirit and rushed up, and some people learned from Tian San and slashed with swords, but there were many wolf branches, and the bamboo was extremely tough, and it was treated with tung oil, it was difficult to cut, and it would be rebounded and bruised.

There were also people who attacked with spears, but the wolf lance was much longer than the average spear, and when the spear stabbed it, it was weakened by the branches, so there was no threat at all.

Di Qing is a master of martial arts, and he was killed from the sea of corpses and blood, the more he used it, the more he was happy, he couldn't help but shout, the soldiers were not convinced, and went forward one after another, but they were constantly knocked down by Di Qing, lying on the ground and wailing.

In the end, the little donkey gave Tian San an idea, and a few people were restrained in front, and they went around behind Di Qing, holding a knife and pointing at Di Qing's back.

"General, you've lost!"

Everyone stopped, Di Qing threw the wolf on the ground, clapped his hands and laughed: "Happy, too happy!" Little Xianggong, how did you come up with this thing, it's really a good thing! ”

Ye Sheng smiled: "General Di Qing has seen the mystery? ”

"That's right." Di Qing said with a smile: "The spears and broadswords of Western Xia are not very effective in front of this."

Tian San interjected: "General, what if people don't attack head-on and sneak attack from behind!" ”

The little donkey also said: "Yes, yes, the wolf is so heavy, the small one can't be moved!" ”

"Hahaha, that's right, the wolf has a lot of advantages, but the weaknesses are also very clear." Di Qing rubbed his big hands and asked Ye Sheng, "Little Xianggong, do you have a way?" ”

"General Di Qing has taken the exam for me again." Ye Sheng smiled: "It's nothing more than two words: cooperation!" In the event of a battle, with two shieldmen as the vanguard, blocking the enemy's attack, the two wolf hands follow closely, with long shots short, killing and limiting the enemy, and then behind are four pikemen, responsible for protecting the shield hand and the wolf hand, and waiting for the opportunity to kill the enemy, in the back can arrange the sword and shield hand cover, if there is a strong bow and crossbow, you can also increase the crossbowman. In this way, there are more than a dozen people in the entire team, both offensive and defensive, long and short cooperation, as long as they cooperate well, they don't have to worry about not being able to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions! ”

Di Qing had already faintly thought of it when he was using the wolf whi, but after listening to Ye Sheng's words, he saw the sun and saw the sun on dog days, not to mention how comfortable it was.

"It's worthy of being Xiwengong's apprentice, it's amazing!" Di Qing stood up proudly and laughed, "Brothers, cheer me up. Practice hard, the more you look down on us, the more we have to fight! ”

Di Qing and the Tang family father and son hit it off, first of all, Tang Shen ordered the conscription in the name of the inspection of Yantietang, two hundred miles of Yantietang, four soldiers were arranged in each mile, a total of 800 people, plus more than 1,200 people in Di Qing's hands, just formed a team of 2,000 people.

The missing weapons were temporarily replaced with bamboo, and in addition to hundreds of wolf stalks, there were also a large number of bamboo spears, sharpened and fried, and ordinary swords were constantly chopped. Even if it can be cut and it is a stubble, it can still kill people.

Di Qing personally designed the six wolf tactics: the middle flat potential, the dragon riding potential, the hook opening potential, the upper potential, the gate downward potential, the reluctant step retreat potential, and the selection of strong soldiers to practice.

Later generations may not have imagined that the first strong army of the Ming Dynasty, which had no rivals in the world, would start in a bleak way that almost cut wood as a soldier.

However, although the equipment is simple, the morale of the big guys is high and full of energy. In addition to the personal training of Di Qing, the fierce general brother, Ye Sheng's status in their hearts is even more amazing, not only as a life-saver, but also leading them to a rich life.

A Luoyang Grand Canal has turned the people struggling on the food and clothing line into a well-off home. or working at the dock, or opening a small shop, the income is several times higher than farming, and the earth-shaking changes are seen in everyone's eyes. To put it bluntly, Ye Sheng's status is comparable to a god in their hearts, let alone let them train hard, even if they are allowed to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, not many people will frown.

Everyone was enthusiastic, and Ye Sheng was both relieved and worried, after all, the equipment was still too thin. After thinking about it, Ye Sheng found Bao County Ling.

"My lord, I am late in life, you must help!"

Fortunately, Bao Xianling was in a good mood today, and he smiled: "What do you need help with?" ”

"My lord, General Lu Bo is training his troops, and you also know that they are all selected refugee children, but they lack weapons, so I have to beg you to come."

Bao Xian Ling groaned slightly, leaned over and said: "Xingzhixian nephew, you are a disciple of Mr. Xiwen, a figure destined to win the Toad Palace, why always mess with some rude martial artists, damage your reputation!" ”

Ye Sheng blinked, pretending to be embarrassed, "My lord, I also made some efforts for the sake of the refugees, as the saying goes, help people to the end, and send the Buddha to the west." Late life can not watch them bare hands, not to mention that the Western Xia army invaded Taicang once, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no second time, there is a strong army stationed in order to protect the homeland, and it can be regarded as a late life for the father and elders. ”

Bao Xianling looked down on the martial artists, but he understood the other meaning of Ye Sheng's words, if the Western Xia army invaded again, his dream of being promoted would become a nightmare.

"In that case, I'll ask Li Xiancheng to take stock of the county treasury, and after three days, you will go and move the weapons, just take whatever you have!"

"Thank you, sir."

Ye Sheng chatted with Bao Xianling for a few more words, then turned around and said goodbye and went home.
