Chapter 148: Mixed Blessings

Qi Jingshan still didn't take off his armor in the end, maybe he knew better than anyone that this army still had a long way to go, and he still needed to support it. Not everyone can unload the burden of the world, Yang Yi is one, and Qi Jingshan is also one.

The morale of the Northern Army was very low, and although no one complained, there were always people who would stand in the wind and sand and quietly look in the direction of Shuozhou City.

That's where they've always lived, and that's where they've always guarded.

Since Guang Taizu established the Northern Army, Shuozhou City has been standing proudly on the grassland Gobi to welcome the wind and sand from the north.

Whether it is the evil wolf on the grassland or the goshawk on the snowy mountain, they have never set foot in that lonely city.

Now, they're gone. Perhaps, never going back. They have left not only the city that they have guarded for generations, but also countless companions who have shared the hardships of the past.

Qi Jingshan seemed to be able to hear the sorrow in the hearts of every soldier of the Northern Army, stood up from the ground, took off the helmet on his head, and knelt on one knee in the direction of Shuozhou City, which was far away, with Yue Jing's support.

All the soldiers of the Northern Army also stood up slowly, facing the direction of Shuozhou City like Qi Jingshan, kneeling down on one knee and looking quietly.

There are no sad songs and weeping, no life and death parting, only the yellow sand blown by the north wind keeps flying into the eyes, making people cry painfully.

"Are you really not going to treat your wounds?" Yang Yi rubbed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

Qi Jingshan turned around and sat down slowly beside Yang Yi, put the armor back on, and said with a smile: "It's easy to disarm yourself, but it's hard to dismantle your heart." ”

Yang Yi also sat down: "You have done your best." ”

Qi Jingshan shook his head: "I'm sorry for the emperor, I'm sorry for Lu Shuai, I'm sorry for the countless Northern Army soldiers who died in Shuozhou City..."

"Perhaps... I was supposed to stay there. ”

"What's the use of staying there? Do you see the fierce people singing and dancing? ”

Qi Jingshan glanced at Yang Yi and suddenly said, "Why are you a nine nerd?" ”

Yang Yi pursed his lips and said, "Can I think this is praising me?" ”

"The old man can't see that you can use soldiers at all."

"You can see it very accurately, I'm just here to cheer and cheer."

Yang Yi's chin nodded forward, Qi Jingshan looked over, and saw Bai Yuanliang, who had just been thrown to the ground by Tie Niu, holding the wine jug and still muttering in his sleep.

"Who's that?" Qi Jingshan doubted.

"When he wakes up, you can ask yourself, but I guess you won't be able to ask anything."

Qi Jingshan glanced at Bai Yuanliang suspiciously, as if he felt that the back was a little familiar, and he couldn't remember it for a while, so he turned around and asked Yang Yidao, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"Of course it's back to Daguang, my mother is still waiting for me."

"Hmm... I've heard that you are very filial. ”

Yang Yi glanced at Qi Jingshan strangely and said, "Lord Du didn't tell me that you are a person who likes to talk about homely things. ”

Qi Jingshan took the two bowls of water sent by Monkey Jian'er, and said with a smile: "That old man is an ungrateful old immortal, when Lao Tzu lent him the money to take his daughter-in-law to take the top prize, he has not returned it to Lao Tzu until now." ”

Although the words were rude and vicious, Yang Yi did not feel a trace of resentment in his words, but made people feel very nostalgic.

"I was called here by Master Du." Yang Yi didn't know what the past of these two people was, but he didn't mind being a peacemaker.

Qi Jingshan didn't seem to hear it, he wanted to drink water but was scalded by the boiling water in the bowl, and scolded: "Damn it! How do you drink this? Go get a bowl of cold water for Lao Tzu. ”

Monkey Jian'er looked at Yang Yi in embarrassment, Yang Yi said while blowing the boiling water in his bowl: "You are better at marching and fighting than me, but I have the final say on these things." ”

The monkey on the side smiled and said: "Commander, my Royal Highness said that boiling water before drinking it can prevent many diseases, and even plagues!" ”

Qi Jingshan was startled, looked at the steaming bowl of boiling water with some disbelief, and wondered: "Can it prevent the plague?" ”

The plague is a terrible demon, as history has long proven. No matter how prosperous the country is, no matter how powerful the army, as long as the demon comes, it will be an absolute disaster, and it can be said that anyone will talk about it.

Yang Yi finally cooled the boiling water, tentatively drank two sips very comfortably, and motioned to Monkey Jian'er to bring him another bowl.

Wiping the water stains on the side of his mouth, Yang Yi said: "It is impossible to prevent it absolutely, but it can effectively reduce the outbreak rate of the plague." Seeing that Qi Jingshan still didn't know much, Yang Yi said again: "The biggest way for the plague to spread is the water source, and boiling water can effectively kill it. ”

Yang Yi couldn't tell him what bacteria were, so he could only express it simply and clearly.

Qi Jingshan nodded as if he didn't understand, and thought for a long time before saying, "Who is your teacher?" ”

"Guozixue, Old Master Qiu." Yang Yi replied without hesitation.

"When did the rotten people of Guozixue understand so much?" Qi Jingshan pointed to the smokeless stove that was burning but had no smoke column, and said incredulously: "They don't bother to dig the marching stove with their hands. ”

Yang Yi shook his head and said, "You have too many old problems, if you still want to bring your brothers back to Daguang, you should have a good rest now." ”

Qi Jingshan said a little gloomily: "I can not go back, but they must go back... This is the blood of the Northern Army. ”

Yang Yi wanted to speak when he saw this, but at this time, Hong Zhi, who was in charge of counting the situation of the army, walked over to the two of them quickly.

"Your Highness, Governor!" Hong Zhi bowed his hand and bowed.

Yang Yi nodded and said, "How's the situation?" ”

"After last night's battle, of the 8,000 people who followed His Highness, 2,000 were killed and 500 were wounded, of which more than 100 were seriously wounded. There are still more than 5,000 people who can fight today! ”

Hong Zhi could not hide his excitement when he spoke, last night's battle, Yang Yi led 8,000 people raided the Helian camp of 20,000 fierce Di people, killing and wounding at least more than 10,000 fierce Di people, not only burned the military camp to rescue the northern army safely, and according to their guess, it is likely that the fierce fierce Di general was also killed by Yang Yi's poisonous needle.

This is a battle that can be recorded in the history of the Great Light!

Since the battle between Daguang and Fierce Di more than ten years ago, only the Zhenbei general Lu Xuan rushed thousands of miles to attack that battle like a flash of inspiration. Since then, the Daguang army has never defeated the fierce Di people, and in the past, the historical experience has been opened, and the battle between Daguang and the fierce Di is usually unacceptably high in casualty ratio. Even the most elite Northern Army and the Fierce Di people can achieve a casualty ratio of 3:1 at most, which is enough to make the Northern Army proud of the achievements of all the Great Light armies.

However, Yang Yi and their battle can be described as hearty, even if they can't hurt the shin of the fierce people, it is enough to make them suffer for several years.

"What about the Northern Army?" Yang Yi asked this for Qi Jingshan.

Hong Zhiyan's face looked a little solemn when he heard this, and he glanced at Qi Jingshan, who was drinking water on the side, and said: "There are about 23,000 people in the Northern Army who broke through, almost all of them were injured, and only today during the daytime, there were nearly 1,000 brothers who died because of their injuries. ”
