Chapter 573 The north wind swept the ground and the sand rose, and the reckless land resumed its war
Seeing that the recruits were all up, no one was frozen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Li Deyi then rode a Humvee around the camp and began to run, shouting loudly: "I will teach you some small tricks, in the future, when you encounter this kind of snowy day, you will not be frozen ears when you sleep in the wild...... Li Deyi told the soldiers that when they sleep, they should wrap their entire heads with felt, and only expose their nostrils.
Don't underestimate this simple single sentence, it's easy to listen to, Li Deyi was also lying in the snow nest back then, and his ears were frozen before he reacted. These are all valuable lessons learned from personal experience.
Li Deyi once rode a Humvee alone, traveling thousands of miles back and forth in this vast snowfield, which lasted several months, and smuggled back three blacksmiths. Those months of arduous trekking in the ice and snow not only made him suffer a lot, but also taught him a lot of experience in dealing with the severe cold of the grassland.
Therefore, Li Deyi now has rich experience in dealing with the severe cold weather of the grassland. At this time, Li De began to teach these recruits his own experience.
Zhu Biao and Liu Ying were also there, and this time Li Deyi specially brought them together to experience the experience.
The two boys looked up at Brother Li, and a deep admiration rose in their hearts, Brother Li really knew everything, and even knew this.
Afterwards, Li Deyi regrouped his team and began to trek through knee-deep snow with his recruits, continuing north into the grassland.
The two princes, Zhu Biao and Liu Ying, not only trekked in the snow on foot like the recruits, but also kept practicing the original qi, which was not easy for the two young boys. Although he usually treats the two boys very well, takes care of them to eat and take care of them to live, but at this time, Li Deyi absolutely treats them equally and never gives them extra preferential treatment.
Before leaving, Li Deyi explained to the two boys that this training was difficult, and if they didn't pay attention, they might get frostbitten, or even freeze to death. If you are afraid, you can quit early. Zhu Biao and Liu Ying are both good boys, none of them are soft, and they have said that the recruits can survive, and they can also survive.
After walking north for another five days, no Yiren tribe was found, so Li Deyi returned with new soldiers. Along the way, Li Deyi, like the recruits, nibbled on the cold and hard light cakes every day, drank water with ice ballast in small sips, and was frozen and woke up three or four times at night as if he were sleeping.
Fortunately, Li Deyi is now close to cultivating King Kongtong, his body is full of original qi, and his ability to resist the cold is far beyond ordinary people. After the cultivation of this vajra pass, it is easier for the body to adapt to hot and cold climates. For example, a monster like Wang Zhuangbiao wears a short shirt in five winters and six summers, revealing a fat and bulging white belly.
Soon after the new recruits were sent back. In less than half a month, Li Deyi had to bring a group of recruits to this snowfield for exercise. The winter on the grassland was long enough, so Li Deyi had plenty of time to train all the recruits.
At the end of the winter training of the recruits, Wang Meng had already thrown himself to the ground for the five-body body that Deputy Commander Li admired. Wang Meng has traveled the world over the years and has seen many good generals in the world. But if you talk about sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, there are really few people who can reach the level of the two commanders of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment.
After staying in the Dingbei Garrison Regiment for such a long time, Wang Meng also has a rough estimate of the wealth in the hands of the two regiment commanders, which is definitely a huge amount of money that cannot be spent in several lifetimes. With so much money in his hands and such a strong army and horses, he has undisputed power in the whole world. However, the house where the two regiment commanders lived was exactly the same as the house assigned to the first-class soldiers by the Dingbei Garrison Regiment. The two heads of the regiment only have one daughter-in-law, and they never engage in three wives and four concubines.
Not only that, but the two regiment commanders never paid attention to personal eating, drinking, and enjoyment, and when training soldiers, they often shared weal and woe with the soldiers, ate the same meals, wore the same armor, and rarely did anything special.
Although the two regiment commanders did not pay attention to personal enjoyment, they were very willing to spend money on soldiers and people. As far as Wang Meng knows, the Dingbei Garrison Regiment erected a magnificent aqueduct more than three zhang high on the flat land, winding for dozens of miles, leading the water from the lake that is not dry all year round from the deep mountains to irrigate the fields for people to use. The cost of this alone is enough to tens of millions of silver coins.
At night, Wang Meng often sighed over and over again, why does such a thrifty and loving hero not want to unify the world? If there is such a Ming Jun as the emperor, why can't the world be safe, why can't it be governed?
It's a pity that Wang Meng doesn't know. Once he became an emperor, he had to engage in imperial balancing, and under the temptation of great power, it was difficult for people to control their desire for personal pleasure. Wang Meng couldn't have imagined that decades ago, Di Dashuai used his death to wake up a young man and let him see through the dirty and obscene nature of imperial power. More than ten years ago, an ordinary couple in Li Quanzhuang, a village full of people, and a resolute and tenacious old man, used their lives to wake up a young man and let him see through the shameless greed of the powerful and rich in the world.
While Li Deyi was in charge of the winter training of recruits, Commander Xiao Liu was not idle. While vigorously supervising the construction of plate armor, he tried to improve the gold bricks in the hands of his soldiers.
For a long time, the Dingbei garrison regiment has only suppressed the enemy's long-range attack, only the gold brick stunt, and when the sun is strong, it can also use gold bricks to "blind your dog's eyes". Although the BRICS stunt has always been effective, even in the face of the unparalleled cavalry of the Golden Wolf Cavalry, the Dingbei Garrison has never suffered a big loss.
However, as the war progressed, the shortcomings of this BRICS stunt gradually became apparent. The biggest problem is that every time there is a battle, there is only one shot, at most two, and any more will have to increase the weight of the soldiers, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Although this gold brick stunt is easier to practice than riding and archery, and the strong soldiers who are enlightened and cultivating their original qi use this gold brick stunt to be more powerful than bows and arrows, the number of attacks is too small, and it is always a big problem.
Commander Liu has recently been thinking about designing a gold brick that weighs less and is more convenient for soldiers to throw. After thinking about it for a few days, Head Xiao Liu still didn't come up with a better gold brick style. After all, he is not a design professional, as the saying goes, interlacing is like a mountain, and he will not be like his junior brother, dreaming at night, and the next day he will have a strange solution.
Helplessly, in the end, Captain Xiao Liu could only hand over this task to the Steel Academy and let the thousands of students help him design one.
I have to say that brainstorming is powerful, and it didn't take long for more than a dozen BRICS improvement plans to be sent to the head of Xiao Liu's book.
Xiao Liu, the head of the group, looked at the pile of improvement plans in front of the table, and couldn't help but be dazzled, and he didn't know which one to choose.
At this time, Li Deyi had dismissed the recruits and came to report to his senior brother about the winter training.
"You're just in time, come on, help me see, which one is suitable?" Head Xiao Liu stretched out his hand to greet his junior brother.
After a few glances, Li Deyi opened his mouth and asked, "Senior brother, what is this?" β
"Our BRICS stunt is an improvement plan. I want the soldiers to bring a few more gold bricks, the original one is too heavy, and the soldiers can bring at most two. So I asked the students of the Steel Academy to design an improvement plan, and I had a hard time choosing a few of them. Xiao Liu explained.
Li Deyi glanced at it a few times, then picked out three and handed them to his senior brother.
Captain Xiao Liu looked at it and said, "How can I look similar to your little hammer?" β
"Exactly. I threw that little hammer out and smashed people, which was very easy. If you have a hammer handle, you can throw it farther. This is all my experience summed up after all these years of fighting. Senior brother, don't worry, with these three plans, you can't make a mistake. And we can also design a kind of armed belt for the soldiers to be coiled around the waist, and the empty pockets are sewn out of thick cloth, which can be used to hold the handle of the hammer. In this way, each soldier can carry five gold bricks! Li Deyi said with confidence.
Captain Xiao Liu finally chose one and decided to make a hundred of these new gold bricks first, and then try the effect. This improved gold brick is actually not a brick at all, but more like Li Deyi's hammer. The only connection to the original gold brick is the bite mark of the apple on it, and the smooth gilded surface on the front that is designed to reflect light.
Three days later, a hundred new gold bricks were made. The veteran Luo Hao led a group of soldiers to conduct the test, and the effect of this golden hammer was very good. This kind of gold brick with a handle is easier to throw away than the original, and it is more accurate. Although it doesn't look like a gold brick, it's more like a hammer.
Subsequently, this new type of gold brick began to be cast on a large scale and installed in all the soldiers.
Now, after more than a year of development, the Dingbei garrison regiment has 60,000 foot soldiers, 30,000 first-class soldiers, 10,000 second-class soldiers, and 20,000 new soldiers. The cavalry developed more slowly, with only about 13,000 horsemen.
New plate armor is also slowly being installed, and a new batch of replaced standard sabers will also replace the old knives in the hands of the soldiers. Today's Dingbei Garrison Regiment is a war machine running at full capacity, and its strength is expanding rapidly every day.
The cold north wind gradually blew from north to south, blowing more and more fiercely. This vast land is gradually becoming tense.
Tongwan City. Under the joint efforts of Fan Guoshi and Ashina Huo'er, in the past year or so, they have exterminated most of the puppet emperors who established themselves as emperors, and only a few have fled to remote places to survive.
After Fan Guoshi pacified the country, in order to deal with the future attack of the Dingbei garrison regiment, he decided to strike first! He couldn't wait to stretch out his hand to the south, and sent Ashina Huo'er with 50,000 golden wolf cavalry and 100,000 capturing troops to the south first, and amassed troops on the outskirts of the sixteen states of Yanyun.
When the Ping Han Kingdom and the Ping Tang Kingdom, which had just settled down, heard the news and directly blew up the nest.
The emperors of the two countries convened their ministers overnight to discuss the matter, and immediately ordered the soldiers and horses to assemble and leave for the sixteen states of Yanyun. At the same time, the emperors of the two countries secretly ordered the border army of the sixteen states of Yanyun not to provoke without authorization, if the Liao State came to attack, it was only allowed to defend the city, and it was strictly forbidden to fight without authorization, and those who violated the order were beheaded!
After Fan Guoshi stationed troops on the border, he did not launch further attacks. He knew that at this time, the country of Tuliao was initially decided, and it was not the time to go south, so he had to make the government a monolith in order to go south with confidence.
What's more, Fan Guoshi knew very well that if he forcibly raised troops to the south at this time, although the two countries were also in chaos, they were likely to be caught off guard, but after the two families breathed a sigh of relief, they would inevitably join forces with the enemy to attack the Liao State as before.
Fan Guoshi raised a large number of troops to press the border this time, in order to break the connection between Pinghan and Pingtang.
More than 100,000 troops showed their teeth and claws, and from time to time sent small groups of cavalry to rush into the sixteen states of Yanyun to show their might. Through these measures, Fan Guoshi has successfully frightened the two countries of Ping Han and Ping Tang.
Now, both emperors were convinced that it would not be long before the Liao Kingdom would resume its southward invasion.
The emperors of the two countries hurried into action, secretly sending envoys to the Dingbei garrison on the one hand, and on the other hand, they marched north with a large army, taking the lead and vigorously building fortresses and defensive lines, intending to keep the enemy out of the country.
Just as the two countries were preparing for war intensively, Fan Guoshi suddenly openly sent envoys, waving the wolf's tail golden flag all the way, swaying towards the Pinghan Kingdom. Fan Guoshi's second son, Fan Zhongju, is the chief envoy of this mission.
Liu Lai, the emperor of the Ping Han Kingdom, couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Fan Guoshi's gourd, so he hurriedly sent someone to contact him secretly.
It doesn't matter if you ask, it's a shock!
Fan Guoshi actually plans to make peace! For the emperor of his family, Ashina Huyan, he asked to marry Princess Lu Yuan of the Ping Han Kingdom, that is, the daughter of the Empress LΓΌ.
When the Lu family heard the news, they wept in front of the ministers and the emperor, and refused to let their daughter go to the northern grassland to eat sand.
Liu Lai was quite moved, because Fan Guoshi promised him a lot of benefits!
