It is a very sad and helpless thing for a person to die but not return to his roots, this kind of sand and gravel piled up into a grave has little meaning, and may never be mourned, perhaps its only function is to keep the dead soldiers from being eaten by wild beasts.

At the beginning, Yang Yi seemed to be very unacceptable to this kind of behavior, and in the final analysis, this is the right that everyone should have. Yang Yi really wanted to bring back these unknown and dead heroes, bring them back to their hometowns, and let them be admired by the villagers.

However, the living are always more important than the dead.

If someone dies silently, someone will bury it silently, and then silently turn over and continue on the horse. There are no tears, no crying, only the look of looking back when you leave will contain countless sorrows.

Yang Yi sometimes thinks that maybe a really battle-hardened army, they don't have the madness of screaming like in the film and television dramas in their previous lives, they only have silence. Silent rushing, silent killing, silent sending away partners and sending oneself, silent to face the unknown.

The only difference between them and the beasts was the glance they looked back at their companion's grave, and all humanity was in that look.

"Governor, Your Highness, there is an oasis ahead, shall we stop and rest for a while?" Yue Jing pulled down his mask, wiped the thick dirt on his face and asked.

Yang Yi gently tugged on the reins of the horse, slowed down, and looked at Qi Jingshan on the side.

Qi Jingshan is a battle-hardened veteran, and his opinion is much more important than his own rookie on the battlefield.

Qi Jingshan turned around and looked at the army behind him, then looked at the scorching sun above his head, and nodded to Yang Yi: "You can rest for two hours, and then hurry after dark." ”

Hearing this, Yang Yi said to Yue Jing: "Pass the order, everyone will repair in the oasis for two hours, seize the time to replenish the water source, and deal with the injured." ”

Yue Jing clenched his fists and beat his horse to give the order.

After running for more than ten miles, a small green spot really appeared at the end of the Gobi, if it weren't for Yue Jing knowing that there was an oasis here, the groggy Yang Yi might have felt that he was hallucinating.

The army came to the oasis, a small place, not so much an oasis as a small pool left out next door.

Yang Yiqiang resisted the urge to pounce on him and drink wildly, and then strip naked and take a bath, so he first sent scout sentries out to guard it, and then checked whether the water source of the oasis was polluted. After a very careful inspection, it was confirmed that the water source was clean, and the soldiers were allowed to enter the oasis in turn.

According to Yang Yi's meaning, even if the water seems to be extremely clear, it must be boiled before it can be drunk. But when he said this, Qi Jingshan beside him looked at him like an idiot.

"Are you afraid that the fierce people don't know where we are?"

Yang Yi smiled and didn't reply, but turned over and dismounted and said loudly: "Iron Bull!" Bring a shovel! ”

"I'm all optimistic, I'll only demonstrate it once." Yang Yi took the shovel and kept digging on the ground, while recalling the construction of the smokeless earthen stove that the instructor taught them during military training in his previous life.

The principle of smokeless earth stove is actually very simple, that is, digging pits and soil to increase concealment, and then increasing the flue to expand the area of smoke dispersion, and by covering the flue with weeds and other methods to disperse the smoke as much as possible, so as not to form smoke and smoke columns, so as to increase concealment.

Soon, a smokeless stove was poured by Yuan Yangyi, and let the monkey tip and the iron ox put firewood and ignite it, and sure enough, the gray smoke did not form a smoke column, and the north wind disappeared without a trace, and it was not easy to see what was different here in the sand and dust that had not completely dispersed.

Hong Zhi and Monkey Jian'er and the others were not too surprised, they seemed to have seen a lot of Yang Yi's various strange ideas, which was not strange. However, the generals of the Northern Army were surprised beyond words.

You must know that whether it is a marching battle or a scout spying, the most troublesome thing is nothing more than hiding your whereabouts when marching in the field. Especially in the rush war, in order not to expose their position early, the army does not dare to make a fire to cook, and can only eat some simple dry food, without the supplement of cooked hot water, which greatly increases the difficulty of marching and the combat power of the army.

Qi Jingshan and the generals of the Northern Army studied around the smokeless stove for a long time, but they didn't see a doorway, so they could only be amazed.

"Nine nerds, where did you learn this method of digging stoves?" Qi Jingshan got up and stared at Yang Yidao with some surprise.

Yang Yi smiled: "Want to learn? I'll teach you..."

After speaking, Yang Yi weakly took off the bulky helmet on his head and threw it aside, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and beckoned Monkey Jian'er and Tie Niu to teach the soldiers of each battalion to make smokeless stoves, while he lay on the ground and didn't want to move.

Qi Jingshan looked at Yang Yi who was lying on the ground suspiciously, as if he had seen Yang Yi for the first time, he was very strange why Yang Yi had so many seemingly strange but very subtle ideas, the card game of the "Dou Master Book" has now almost become something he must play every day.

Yang Yi lay on the sand with his eyes closed and said, "Don't look at me like that, I'll be shy." Also, can you please stop calling me a nine-nerd? Anyway, I'm a prince. ”

Qi Jingshan didn't talk to him this time, smiled helplessly, walked to Yang Yi's side and wanted to sit down, but who knew that a flower in front of him stumbled and fell.

Yang Yi, who was on the side, quickly turned over and supported him.

"Governor !!"

"General!"

Everyone hurriedly surrounded them, especially the generals of the Northern Army, all of whom looked anxious.

Yang Yi frowned, waved his hand and motioned for everyone to help Qi Jingshan sit down, and then when he looked closely, he found that Qi Jingshan's face under the dust had already looked extremely pale.

Yang Yi picked up the armor that Qi Jingshan was about to put on, and saw that the white cotton cloth wrapped around his waist had been dyed blood-red.

"What's going on?" Yang Yi asked.

A partial general on the side hurriedly said: "Ten days ago, we broke through without success, and when the army was covering the retreat of Shuozhou City, the commander was hit by an arrow in the waist of the fierce Di people!" ”

Yang Yi was even more worried, and said, "The wound has been cracked, help him take off his armor." ”

Who knew that Qi Jingshan, who was pale, waved his hand and shouted: "No one is allowed to touch me!" ”

"Governor!"

Yang Yidao: "If you don't deal with it in time, the immortals won't be able to save the wound when it becomes inflamed!" ”

Qi Jingshan took a long breath, glanced at Yang Yi, and mocked: "The little baby who has not yet grown Qi dares to say that Lao Tzu lives and dies?" ”

"I'm not kidding you." Yang Yi said seriously.

Qi Jingshan smiled: "Do you think I'm joking with you?" Our Northern Army has its own rules of our Northern Army, when the expedition is out, the war is endless, and the Lord will not be able to remove his armor, it has been like this for hundreds of years, do you want me to be a sinner in Qi Jingshan? ”

Yang Yi was silent, this is a cruel but helpless rule.

Conceptually speaking, the removal of the general's armor on the battlefield means that he has thrown away the burden of the world and calmly faced his last moments. And from the perspective of psychology, armor is also the psychological pillar of an ancient warrior, especially a seriously injured person once he takes off the armor, he may soon die.

It's like if a person has a disease, he will live happily or longer without knowing it, and when he knows that he has a terminal illness, then most people will wilt at a rate visible to the naked eye, which may be regarded as a psychological suggestion.
