When the light rain reached three quarters of the unitary hour, it stopped.

The fierce battle under the Stone Ridge Pass had been over for more than half an hour, and the raindrops seemed to know that the frenzied battle had passed, and the last rain that washed away the blood on the ground drifted away.

The Qing army and the Ming army had a tacit understanding that they staggered the time, and sent unarmed personnel to collect the corpses, they waved white flags, wore plain clothes and removed armor, and after the sky was dark, they also lit torches, carried rough stretchers and sacks, and sorted the corpses that belonged to their own side.

When the Qing army Aha came over, Li Tingyu was holding a large bowl, sitting on the side of the smoking wooden fence grinning and drinking water, taking the time to scold his mother, his voice was so loud that he could hear it from across a mountain, and the corpse collection Aha outside the wooden fence was picking up the corpse with his hands and feet, and stared at him in confusion, unable to understand what he was shouting.

"They don't understand the Sichuan accent." Wang Huan smiled and said, "You should scold in official language." ”

"Pull it down!" Li Tingyu put down the bowl, stretched out his hand and pulled the blindfold, making it more comfortable: "My official words are good, I have already entered the Beijing camp, how can I run around for so many years and finally can't even mix with the general soldiers." ”

"Don't move! The last shot! Wang Huan shouted, threaded a needle in his hand, sewed a shocking big hole on Li Tingyu's arm, and then tied a knot beautifully, biting off the thread that had been poisoned with spirits.

Li Tingyu gritted his teeth and endured the heart-piercing pain, and when he finished it, he breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed: "As the saying goes, there is a specialization in art, and there is a specialization in industry, and you are omnipotent in business, politics, military, and Confucianism, and now even this medical skill is so exquisite, what else will you not do?" Tell us earlier, I, Li Laosan, will not do anything else, just drill this, and boast in front of people in the future: I, Li Tingyu, have the ability to even match Liang Guogong! ”

Ma Xintian stood on the side, bandaging the wound of a wounded soldier with a straight face, his face was gloomy, the soldier didn't dare to look at him, and his white face was like a punishment. When I heard this at this moment, I was not happy, and threw over a sentence: "Rude!" How can you talk to Grandpa Guo like this! ”

Before Wang Huan could react, Li Tingyu jumped up: "King Mayan, you kid, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will find a mother-in-law to touch your room tonight and take care of you!" Save your yin and yang from being out of tune and your meridians from being smooth, and say some strange things! ”

Ma Xintian glanced at him, which means you dare!

He is not close to women, even in peacetime, he lives in the barracks, his home is deserted, except for his old parents, there is no one else, and everyone laughs behind his back to talk about whether it is because there is no woman close to him.

Wang Huan wiped his hands with a towel that was stained red by blood stains and could not see his true color, rubbed his waist pole that had stood for a long time, sat down with great difficulty, and said to Li Tingyu: "After an afternoon, are you still so energetic?" ”

Li Tingyu smiled: "Fight with the Tartars, you have strength!" These bunnies are really fierce enough, and I almost got on the road several times today, if it weren't for the good cooperation of the brothers, I'm afraid I would have more than these injuries on my body. ”

He touched the wooden fence blackened by the smoke and fire around him, which was full of marks of slashing and axe, and he was a little sad: "But I broke some brothers, but it's a pity, whether it is the white pole soldiers who came out of Sichuan, or the soldiers recruited from Shaanxi, or even the local rebels in Shanxi, there is no coward, and they will not retreat from Lao Li's side!" This scene is unimaginable in the Ming official army. ”

Li Tingyu sighed and shook his head: "Whether it is in Liu Liangzuo's army, or in Zuo Liangyu's place, or even earlier, when Chen Ce was under the hands of the general army, there has never been such a thing, the soldiers who have not retreated dare not withdraw, and the soldiers will not be able to leave if they are not dispersed, my lord, this soldier is well trained, great!" ”

He looked left and right, and poked his finger at the soldier who was sitting not far away and was sharpening his knife: "Hey! Boy, where are you? ”

That soldier was a spirit, originally a national prince and a battalion general sat on his side and chatted enough to make him nervous, Li Tingyu's sudden action made him almost throw the knife, jumped up and stood upright, his lips trembled and responded: "Yes!" The small one is the Shaanxi Yulin people! ”

"Yo, yes, very energetic!" Li Tingyu laughed: "Who practiced you?" ”

"Yes, it was a soldier trained by the horse battalion during the training in Xi'an." The soldier was a young man, his face was flushed, and he burst out with a sentence: "Now it belongs to the sixth squad of the 300 households of the infantry team of the Linzi battalion." ”

"Oh, let's go." Li Tingyu's interest disappeared for a moment, waved his hand, and muttered in a low voice: "King Ma Yan practiced." ”

The soldier was pardoned, and ran away in a puff of smoke.

Ma Xintian on the side looked over again, although his face was expressionless, he couldn't hide the color in his eyes. When Wang Huan saw it, he looked at Li Tingyu's deflated expression and laughed.

"What? Want to show off your elite? Don't think about it, all the soldiers in the army came out of the new barracks with Ma Xintian as the captain, and they are all his apprentices and grandchildren, you can't compare. ”

Wang Huan said again: "No matter how good the soldiers are, there is no main general to bear, and they will be a nest of bears, today's battle, Lao Li, you have worked hard, I have written it down." ”

He said indifferently, but Li Tingyu was solemn and put away his jokes: "Where do you speak, when you are a soldier and fight, you have to talk about your merits, and the soldiers should be credited." On the battle array, there are no eyes for swords and guns, no matter how big an official is, he is also a pawn, a cold arrow can take the life of a general, and the adults should reward the soldiers below! ”

These words are high-spirited and beautiful, the key is that there is no pretentious component, completely from the heart, Wang Huan can't help but cheer in his heart.

"In terms of meritorious deeds, no soldier will be missed, this point is measured in the army, don't worry." Wang Huan sat up straight, looked at the torches of the Qing army Aha dotted outside the wooden fence, frowned and said: "Today, Dolgon took more than 10,000 lives, and he really couldn't break through our defenses before he stopped, this is still the first day, and his determination can be seen." ”

"Labor expeditions, tired soldiers to attack fortifications, heavy cavalry fighting spears and foot soldiers, he has committed all the crimes that can be committed in the art of war." Li Tingyu also said curiously: "I heard that the chief has won a hundred battles, why is he so frivolous, does he really treat us as fish food?" ”

"No, Dorgon is in a hurry." Li Dingguo didn't know when he came over, holding a few earthen bowls, and there was a big lump of mush in the bowl: "Huotoujun made a few bowls of Shanxi buckwheat noodles, eat some to satisfy your hunger." ”

After the end of the war in the army, the meal was only started at this moment, and the Kuizhou army went up to the national prince and down to the pawn, and they ate the same for a long time.

"Huh? There's actually a meat sauce? Li Tingyu was excited, and grabbed the chopsticks to be a big clip: "Great!" ”

"Eat some meat to nourish your strength, and some fight hard." Wang Huan bit the dough hard, and nodded with chopsticks: "Dingguo, let's talk about it, what news did Chen Xiang's big convoy bring?" ”

"It's all good news, the south and east are in a mess, the Eight Banners of the Tartars are going north, there is no Tartar soldier north of the Yellow River, and even the Mongols are following them, plundering people and property all the way, and it seems that they don't plan to go back." Li Dingguo held the bowl and squatted on the ground like a fellow Shanxi countryman to eat: "The general soldiers and horses of Caoyun all received the ancestor Tianci who should rebel in the city of Nanjing, occupied the city, Hong Chengchou ran north along the waterway with thousands of soldiers, panicked all the way, and dared to stop and rest when he fled to the east of the mountain. ”

"That's why we attracted the main force of the Tartars in Shanxi!" Li Tingyu had a face in his mouth, and his words were a little slurred: "If we force Dolgon back here, and drive straight along the Bauhinia Pass or the Baoding Governor, the Tartar's ass will not be able to sit steadily!" The Han army can't believe it, if he doesn't transfer all the soldiers who can fight back, what else can he do? ”

Li Dingguo's eyes flickered and looked at Wang Huan: "My lord, the south is about to pick peaches, but you can't be cheap." ”

Wang Huan nodded, bowed his head and ate noodles: "Xu Tiezhu, Zu Tianci, and Ma are all people who understand, where will the situation that they have worked so hard to fall into the hands of others?" ”

He drank the noodle soup in the bowl in a few sips, and smashed his mouth unsatisfied: "It doesn't matter what it is, even if it is missing, it can be taken back in the future, now, we will discuss, how to fight tomorrow!" ”
