Chapter 3: Luguan on a Snowy Night (8)

"Ahh

Wei Xun's mournful cry echoed through the wilderness, and the surrounding sergeants could be heard with hair.

"With a little strength, hold him down!" Only Li* turned a deaf ear to this terrible shout, and while cutting the flesh around the arrow sores with a sharp short knife, he sternly ordered the few helpless soldiers around him who helped hold Wei Xun down.

Blood kept pouring out of the wound, and quickly solidified and crystallized in the temperature of more than ten degrees below zero, at this moment Wei Xun's bare shoulder blades were already covered with stalls of congealed blood stains, Li * gently wiped off these blood stains with his hands, endured the pungent smell of blood and stirred in Wei Xun's wound with a knife, and kept giving an order in his mouth: "Wipe his forehead with snow, don't let him faint - quickly - don't take it slowly, move quickly......"

The cold feeling on the door of his head made Wei Xun feel a thrill all over his body, pulling him back from the edge of fainting, the pain in his shoulder became more and more intense, the hateful officer tortured his pain nerves one by one, the knife in his hand almost had a slight spasm every time he moved in his body, and the whole process of digging out the arrow was only half an hour long, but in Wei Xun's sense, it seemed to be as long as centuries - although Wei Xun himself did not know what kind of time concept "century" was.

In the midst of Wei Xun's screams one after another, Li * finally carefully and slowly took out the sharp arrow like a small three-edged scraper from the wound on Wei Xun's shoulder......

"Pu Huang Powder—Who's Going to Take It—Quick, Bring It!"

Lee* also commanded a little nervously......

Taking the vial that Lu Xun hurriedly handed over, Li * pulled out the stopper regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, poured the dull-colored powder on Wei Xun's wound in one go, and poured it clean at once.

The medicine was very effective, the temperature was low, and after almost a few breaths, Wei Xun's wound was no longer bleeding.

Li * let out a sigh of relief, and slowly ordered: "Bandage him, be careful not to touch his wound again, and don't let the medicine powder spread out, bandage three layers of front and back, left and right, until the blood stains can't seep out, Di Huaiwei——"

His former chief, who had been dismissed, trotted over and panted in response, "My lord—"

Li* frowned and asked, "Is the horse broth cooked?" ”

"Not yet, I just went up to see it, the water is almost boiling, and you can get out of the pot in a while......"

Li * groaned for a moment, reached out and took the thick-backed saber on the back of the captured fine seal Minda, and ordered: "Take this up, chop the horse meat into pieces again, it is best to chop it into minced meat and put it in the pot, the rotten it is, the better, it is easy to cook and easy to eat......"

Di Huaiwei agreed, took the knife and turned around and ran in the direction of Chengguan.

Li * turned around, took off the wine gourd on his waist, opened the stopper, and came to Wei Xun, who had been wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside like a puppet in a blink of an eye, put the gourd close to his mouth, and said loudly: "Brother Wei, try to drink two sips......

The burst of wine made Wei Xun's already vague consciousness sober up again, and he reluctantly opened his mouth, and Li * carefully poured wine into his mouth and said gently: "Take a sip...... Don't be in a hurry to swallow, take it in your mouth for a while and swallow again, being careful not to choke on ......"

The cold Jiannan Burning Spring gradually warmed up in the mouth, and then flowed into the abdomen, a warm feeling began to spread to the internal organs and limbs with the liquor produced in Shu, and the originally frozen body also began to show signs of recovery, Wei Xun struggled and drank another sip of wine, gradually regained some vitality, and he said hoarsely and weakly: "...... Adult ......"

Lee* stretched out his hand to stop him: "Don't speak...... Pay attention to conserving your strength, the broth is boiling on it, drink it out of the pot for a while, sleep by the fire, remember, you must wake up when you are called, that is, you will be sleepy, you can no longer fall asleep before returning to the old camp on the mountain, your life is at stake, you must listen to the instructions......"

Wei Xun opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word, the skin-breaking scoundrel leader in Yanzhou City only felt the heat in his chest and abdomen surging up at this moment, and his eyes were slightly wet......

Li * had already put away the wine gourd and handed it to Li Hu'er, who was standing aside: "From this moment on, you can't leave Wei Xun an inch, remember, give him two sips every other hour, no more or less, come to me for ...... when the wine in this gourd is finished."

Li Hu'er blinked, pouted and said, "Oh! ”

Li* looked at the soldiers who were struggling with a few freshly chopped logs in the distance, and said loudly: "After the stretcher is built, take off your armor and spread it on it, and then carry Wei Shichang to the enemy tower, and be careful when carrying it, and make sure to let him lie down ......."

……

Waiting for Wei Xun to finish drinking the thick horse broth and lie down, it was not until he fell asleep that Li* got up with a little relief and walked to another, more dilapidated room.

In this room, Shen Chen, who was frowning, and two soldiers with unkind faces were standing, and Minda, who was tied up like a zongzi, was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, looking like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

Li * glanced at Shen Chen inquiringly, and when he saw Shen Chen slowly shaking his head, he couldn't help but smile, looked at the captive's face and exposed skin covered with bruises and scars, slowly squatted down and said, "You can speak Chinese, but you refuse to speak, do you feel that you have been wronged and are not convinced?" ”

Hearing this, Fineseal Minda's body trembled, opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Li *, sat up suddenly, and glared angrily at Li *.

The two soldiers were taken aback and were about to press them down, but Lee* waved his hand to stop them.

"My name is Li *, and I am the deputy lieutenant of Yanzhou Jiedu, and the team is in charge—" Li * silently stared into the eyes of the fine seal Minda, and his tone was gentle and authentic.

Fine Feng Minda seemed taken aback, and a gleam in his eyes flashed, but he still looked at Li * in a daze, his lips closed and refused to speak.

"The people who can become harriers are all warriors in the party, I don't deny it, it's our luck to catch you this time, it's not that you're not brave enough-" Li * still didn't think it was angry, and said with a slow smile.

The look on the face of the fine seal minda moved a few times, and finally slowly spoke: "You dare to stand in the middle of the road to lure and confuse me, you are not small, you are very brave, I lost in your hands - not wronged!" ”

Shen Chen and the two soldiers immediately looked at each other, and the three of them asked for a long time, beating this person like a pig's head, and they couldn't even ask a word from this person's mouth, Li * just squatted in front of him and whispered a few words, and this stubborn captive actually opened his mouth to speak, and sure enough, it was still the captain who had great powers.

Li * smiled: "You don't have to be modest, if you knock me down with an arrow in the morning, it is me and not you who are lying here at this moment, my soldiers are all infantry, and there are no bows and arrows, so I can't keep you." So you can shoot me to death, or you can get out of it, and I will die in vain......"

"Ken is standing in the middle of the road at the risk of being killed by my arrow, you have won this battle, so you don't need to say these cheap words again-" Hosophon Minda replied with a sneer, closing his eyes again as he spoke.

"You won't shoot me with an arrow, but do you expect to capture me alive?" Lee* asked unconcernedly.

"Yes! I'm a scout, and I've got to get back alive and ask about the military - but I didn't know you were their leader! ”

He replied with his eyes closed,

"What if you knew?" Lee* asked with interest, "Will you kill me with one shot?" ”

"No, I want to capture you alive, your value is much higher than others, and as long as I capture you, they won't dare to come forward, and it won't take much effort for me to leave safely, so I said - I didn't lose unjustly......"

Li* nodded: "You're very real, but if you knew in advance, I'm afraid you won't turn around and shoot others so that I can take advantage of it, right?" ”

Xifeng Minda opened his eyes, looked at Li * a little strangely, and said for a while: "Of course, I must protect my horse, this is more important than capturing you, I didn't know that your soldiers didn't have bows and arrows." But if I knew that you dared to engage me with a white blade, I would never have turned around and shot someone so close to you—I could clearly see that your legs were shaking so badly, and you were pretending to let my guard down, didn't you? ”

Li*'s face turned red, touched his nose and said, "...... No, I'm also a human being, and I'm scared enough to be pointed at by your bow and arrow, I'm really scared, if it's a human being, I'm afraid of death......"

There was a slight smile on his face, but in the blink of an eye, he turned solemn again: "You are so scared in your heart, you can still calm down and rush up and intersect with me in the blink of an eye-you are not simple......"

Li * smiled bitterly: "No, should I turn around and run away?" ”

Xifeng Minda thought for a while: "Most people will be like that, you don't, so I said that you are not simple, although you are afraid, but you have not lost your courage." All people will be afraid on the battlefield, even those of us who have fought many battles, but we will not let fear dictate our actions, and we will not lose the courage to fight because of fear, although you are not a harrier, and you are of average stature, but you are very courageous. The fact that you can stand there and watch me approach without moving, but who does not hesitate to attack me as soon as I turn around shows that although you are afraid, you have always maintained a clear mind and accurate judgment, and you are not weak in action. ”

Li* nodded and asked, "You should be two people, can you tell me where the other one is?" ”

Thin Seal Minda glanced at him disdainfully, "Do you think I'll tell you?" Am I like a harrier who will sell his robes? ”

Lee smiled wryly......

Thin Feng Minda smiled again: "Say it again...... I told you, would you believe it? ”

Li* nodded: "Yes, why not?" ”

Thin Seal Minda sneered: "You are my enemy, I am also your enemy, and you will easily believe what the enemy tells you?" Are you the first day you came out to lead the troops? ”

Li * looked at him seriously, and said slowly: "If it is someone else, I may not believe it!" But if you tell me, I'll believe it...... There are many kinds of enemies, just like there are good people and bad people in robes, honest people and cunning people, although you are brave and experienced, but you are not a person who is used to telling lies, I can know this, so I have always told you the truth, I know that you will tell me the truth. I ask you the whereabouts of your companion, and you won't tell me, but you won't lie to me......"

Xifeng Minda looked at him in surprise for a long time, then closed his eyes again and said, "Then why do you bother to ask me?" ”

Li * smiled bitterly: "I just want to confirm it, in fact, you also know in your heart that the snow has stopped, and the horseshoe marks you came here today will not be covered by the snow, as long as you look for your horseshoe prints, you will always find the place where your companions camped." I believe that he will not be too far away from Luzi Pass, at least not dozens of miles......"

Thin Seal Minda snorted, but did not speak again.

Li * stood up, called Shen Chen to walk out, and instructed as he walked: "Take care of him, be careful not to let him commit suicide, don't beat him again, give him something to eat later......"

After that, he seemed to remember something, stood still and turned around, "By the way, don't worry about your horses, we won't kill them!" ”

With that, he walked out with Shen Chen......

Fine Feng Minda looked back in amazement, staring at Li *'s back for a long time, before closing his eyes again and muttering to himself in a low voice: "Thank you......"

Walking to the enemy tower, Li* turned around and asked Shen Chen, "How are you preparing?" ”

"Ready, let's go!" Shen Chen replied dryly.

Li * pondered for a moment: "Be careful, do what you can, if you are not sure and retreat, I don't want any more casualties......"

Shen Chen silently replied "yes".

Li* explained: "There is no medicine left, once someone is injured, it cannot be treated in this ice and snow, and even if he can save his life when he returns to the mountain, he will become disabled, which is worse than life for my brothers......"

Shen Chen replied with a slight emotion: "My lord is really a good officer, I have been a soldier for all these years, and it is the first time I have met a commander who loves soldiers so much!" ”

Li * smiled, and then instructed: "Go and come back quickly, as soon as you come back, we will wake up Wei Xun and rush back to the old camp overnight......

Shen Chen clenched his fists and said, "I understand—"

"Go ahead!"

"Whew-"

……

After dinner, Li* checked Wei Xun's injuries again, the wounds were treated in a timely manner, and there were spirits and horse broth to replenish his strength, Wei Xun slept very deeply, although he lost some blood, his face was not pale, but a few traces of blood appeared in the flickering bonfire. Li* tried his forehead, and he didn't have a fever, and it seemed that it shouldn't be a problem to support him back to the old camp.

Li * was completely relieved at this time, and slowly walked out of the sheltered room, and checked the soldiers who were resting one by one. Now these soldiers are full of admiration for their officers, and they can pick off the party's harriers with one person and one gun, and this martial courage is only afraid that there will be no second person in the Zhangwu army. Today, a party harrier was captured in one fell swoop, and only one officer and soldier of the whole team were injured, and this kind of exchange is almost unprecedented in the process of fighting with party members in the past ten years, although this merit is not great, but it is enough to make the officers and men of the C team raise their eyebrows in front of the friendly troops in the entire Yanzhou.

With such an officer, it's really promising......

Now in the eyes of all the officers and soldiers, this officer who forces everyone to practice every day does not seem to be so hateful, it is this long-distance raid and training, and the soldiers no longer complain - although they almost froze to death, after all, they have won the battle and made meritorious achievements, and the officer is really clever......

Li * secretly hesitated in his heart, he was hesitating whether to hand over the prisoner of Xifeng Minda to the Yanzhou Jiedu Command Office, if it was handed over, this person would have no physiology. Originally, Li * did not have a good impression of the party members, and he even felt that there was no pity in killing all these alien marauders. These people go south to loot every year, and they don't know how much blood of the people of Yanzhou are stained on their hands, and it is really not a pity to die. Although it is ominous to kill the prisoners, they are not killed by themselves, and they are handed over to Yanzhou to kill, so there should be no anxiety.

It's just that...... He was a little reluctant.

He was amazed by his skillful horsemanship and fierce archery skills, which made him quite fond of the captive.

Lee* is still capable of daily hand-to-hand combat training and blade training, and with an advanced understanding of the anatomy of the human body, he can also cope with this kind of regular training. But when it comes to horseback riding and archery, Lee* is still self-aware, and this is not something that can be effective after practicing secretly for ten days and half a month. Fine seal Minda's superb kung fu and precise archery skills, I am afraid that I will not have more than ten years of hard practice?

With such a ready-made training instructor, how could he be willing to let the brainless waste wood in Yanzhou cut things off with one slash?

It's just that if you don't hand over this person, won't this battle be fought in vain, you don't care, but the soldiers have worked hard but haven't made any achievements, so you will have some complaints, right?

Things that affect morale have to be taken seriously......

Lee* had an even more headache......

A sound of footsteps sounded under the city gate, and in the distance, there was an inquiry from a sentry: "Password-"

"Potato—"

"Sweet potato—"

With this fresh password full of evil taste created by Li *, a soldier quickly ran to the city pass and shouted: "Lord Yu, Shen Shichang is back......

…… With a rush of footsteps, Shen Chen ran up with a smoke, but Li * was instructing Li Hu'er: "Go and wake up Wei Shichang, let everyone pack up, we are going to walk back to the old camp at night——"

"My lord—" Shen Chen exclaimed with a happy face.

"Hmm-" Li* glanced at him and asked with a smile, "But you succeeded?" ”

"Yes, sir!" Shen Chen gasped slightly and replied,

"What about the brothers, what about the casualties?" Lee* asked nervously.

"Lord Lao is concerned, our army-" Shen Chen puffed up his chest and shouted with all his strength: "There are no casualties!" ”

"Okay-" Li* patted his thigh, "where's the head?" ”

Shen Chen said with a smile: "Lord Haojiao knows that that kid is actually a waste, far worse than the one he caught during the day, and he was obediently bound with almost no strength......

Li * opened his mouth wide, and said in surprise and joy: "Is it captured?" ”

"It's a capture, and the head is still on the neck, so I can't take it ......up," Shen Chen said with a smile.

Li * laughed, caught two at a time, this is really an unexpected gain, send one to the Jiedu command and keep one, I don't want to solve my troubles like this......

Seeing that Shen Chen smiled and seemed to have something to say, he also smiled and said, "If there is anything happy about, say it together, and don't go around in circles......"

"I don't dare to ...... my humble duties," Shen Chen said with a smile, "But this waste caught this time is not small, it turns out to be——"

He took a deep breath and said loudly: "-Erlang of the Li family's big ranking in the Dingyan Army, the biological son of Li Yiyin's old thief......"
