Chapter Thirty-Nine
As soon as Li Deyi returned to Weibei Camp, he rested for two days, ate a lot for two days, and almost recovered his body, and began to think about giving those boys some lessons in cultivating their original qi. The www.biquge.info expedition went deep into the grassland, which made Li Deyi think about a truth, his senior brother is strong, and he can hold up the scene at a critical moment and hold up the beam. Even Li Deyi, because of the "Humvee" and himself entering the majestic realm, played a much stronger role than ordinary soldiers. Li Deyi has only taught these boys to read and read in the past few years, and originally did not intend to enlighten them and teach them to cultivate their original qi. Mainly because Li Deyi himself is a half-ass, he has just entered the Qi Zhuang Realm, and the hairy boy who has just entered the Qi Zhuang Realm dares to teach people to cultivate the original qi, and if he is not careful, he will harm that person for a lifetime, so Li Deyi never dared to think about it until he came back all the way from Tongwan City this time. Now that the master and brother are rarely a little free, they are all used to teach themselves, and they have no time to take care of anything else, so they can only teach the children to cultivate the original qi.
This trip back to teach the children, Li De began to teach them the "Imperial Qi and Hejing" after the thoughts in his heart were turned upside down. Thanks to Li Deyi's insistence on taking time to teach these boys to read and write in the past three years, it was not too difficult to teach "Yuqi and Hejing" for the first time, and most of the children could still understand sentence by sentence. Li Deyi's cultivation is getting shallow and he can't control the original qi to produce all kinds of visions like his master, so he can give these boys a vivid lesson, and in the end he can only bluntly ask them to go back and recite the full text of the "Imperial Qi and Harmony Sutra", and be able to write it silently. These boys have all suffered hardships and crimes, and they survived with great difficulty, so it can be said that they dare not disobey Li Deyi, the big brother who rescued them back with his own hands, and then kept them fed, and taught them to read and write. As soon as Li De finished speaking, the boys began to recite it earnestly.
In order to teach these boys to read and read well, Li Deyi also put in a lot of effort. At the beginning, he didn't have books, and Li Deyi couldn't find anyone willing to help him copy, and he didn't have so much time to copy it himself, after all, he still had to cultivate his original qi. Li Deyi thought hard for three days, and finally a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, and a solution emerged. I found a four-foot square wooden board in the storeroom of the logistics camp, and asked my senior brother for a small piece of ink, grinding it into ink, and then blackening the entire plank with ink, and then putting it in the sun to dry. As a result, when the board was drying, Medical Officer Xiao Liu saw it, and said that the junior brother was wasting things. Li Deyi chased after his brother's head and said several times, so that Dr. Liu could barely believe that he was trying to educate the boys, and the ink board that was drying was called a 'blackboard', not something nonsense.
After the "blackboard" was ready, Li Deyi went to find a soft stone that he had played with before. That kind of stone is very soft and slippery, you can pinch a mark with your fingernails, and you can draw a white line with a gentle stroke on the ground, and people of the elderly call this kind of stone talc. In the next few days, Li Deyi picked up this kind of talc all over the mountains and fields, and often went out for a whole day, so that Xiao Liu Medical Officer pulled him over from time to time to reprimand, reminding him to cultivate his original qi well, and not to always run around and delay his own ability.
Later, when Li De's 'blackboard' and talc were ready, Master Sun came to listen to a lesson with great interest after the old doctor Sun knew about it. When the old doctor Sun saw Li De holding a talc in one hand, he laboriously drew a shallow white mark on the 'blackboard' hanging on the wall, and wrote a 'one', although the scratch was very shallow, and it took a careful look to see it clearly. Old Doctor Sun's whole body trembled with excitement, and for a whole hour of class, Old Doctor Sun sat there and looked at the end seriously. Since then, Dr. Liu has never taken care of the matter of teaching the boy to read and write. The three generals, and even some veterans, occasionally found time to attend classes.
Now, Li Deyi is laboriously writing the "Imperial Qi and Hejing" on the 'blackboard', and the boys below are holding brushes in their hands and carefully copying on a piece of paper, each of them concentrated, for fear that they have copied a wrong word or accidentally dripped a drop of ink on the precious straw paper. This 'blackboard' is not big, it can't hold too many words, and the talc writing is not very clear, but this can't stop the children's enthusiasm for reading and literacy. Writing a board full of words, Li Deyi deliberately took a break, and waited for those children who were slow to write. When everyone has finished copying, take a rag and wipe it clean, and then write the next paragraph.
The small room was full of fifty-three little boys, led by a half-grown boy, reading and writing together. This is the seed of the future, and although it is still unknown what kind of fruit it will bear, it has been planted.
Weibeiying now slowly has an unwritten convention, as long as Li Deyi is in class, no matter how big the matter is, he will wait until the end of the class to find him. At the end of the day's lesson, as soon as Li De told the boys to go back and memorize well, and told them not to forget to practice dictation with a branch on the sand, he announced the end of the class, and the fifty-three boys ran out with a whining and laughing. As soon as Li De walked out of the door, he found that his senior brother was waiting for him at the door.
"The soldiers and horses that the Tuliao people came to retaliate are about to arrive, and Master asked me to come to you."
"Let's go, Senior Brother, go to Master's place first. It's still half an hour before noon. ”
As soon as he entered the door, the three generals and the old doctor Sun were discussing something, and Li Deyi followed his senior brother into the house quietly, looking for a place to stand there and listen. Old Medical Officer Sun was talking about the specific situation: "Our sentinels have found a large number of Tuliao people, and the number is around 20,000. The scouts of the Tuliao people are very elite, and our sentry cannot get close to observe, so they can only watch from a distance. ”
Mr. Li said, "Each of our brothers is precious, so that the scout brothers don't have to risk getting close to reconnoitre. ”
Mr. Han said excitedly: "Twenty thousand horses!" Shall they not bring with them many sheep and cattle for them to eat and drink? Haha, after this battle, we are going to get rich again. ”
Qian Zong couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on him, and said: "Don't be too happy, this time it is the big tribe Mengwu who can be counted on the side of the Tuliao people, even if their cavalry is worse than the elite golden cavalry of the Golden Horde, it is definitely one in a hundred elite soldiers." 20,000 people, and our brothers who are less than 1,500 today probably won't be able to eat it. ”
Old Medical Officer Sun obviously agreed with Qian Zong's words, and said: "We have been hunting those small tribes on the grassland all these years, and now I am afraid that our bottom line is also clear. They sent 20,000 men to wipe us out, no more, no less, the art of war says 'ten rules to encircle us', and they seem to be planning to besiege us in this Dingbei county this time. ”
Mr. Li said worriedly: "The city wall of Dingbei County is already short and difficult to defend, although we have made efforts to increase the height and build it in recent years, I am afraid it is still impossible to prevent it." When the Tuliao people arrive, they only need to surround the city on all sides, and the ants will attack the city, so that our men and horses can be stretched...... Hey, if they take out the explosive arrows again, we brothers don't know if they can stop it. Hey, in the final analysis, we are too few and too weak. ”
Medical Officer Xiao Liu interjected: "Now that the imperial court is over, I heard that the county order of our Dingbei County was broken in Zhongshen City, and he disappeared with his family on the day the news came, and I also heard that the county orders of several neighboring counties also abandoned their officials. Without these nasty civilian officials, we can recruit troops, now is a troubled time, only strong soldiers and strong horses can survive. Mr. Li said: "Having said that, we can't train elite soldiers in a hurry, so it's good to let those recruits go into battle, and not to mess up our own formation." ”
Mr. Han touched the back of his head with one hand, and then sighed: "Far water can't quench your thirst." ”
Old Medical Officer Sun pinched his gray goatee in one hand, groaned for a while, and said, "We have saved a lot of belongings in the past few years, and when this battle is over, it is time to expand the army." In today's troubled times, we must first strive to protect ourselves, and then try to do anything else. Mr. Qian leaned over and said with a smile: "Listen to the meaning of the old doctor Sun, the battle is now in the chest." This time it was 20,000 elites of the Tuliao people, ten times more than us, if it weren't for you and Lao Li still sitting and discussing, I would have suggested abandoning the city and fleeing. The old doctor Sun smiled and said: "If you want to provoke the old man with words, you can't say that you have a bamboo in your chest, we are all old fighters, how can there be a reason to win before you fight." It's just that there are two problems with the Tuliao people who attacked this time that have been seen by the old man, and if we can catch them, it is not impossible to win. Hearing this, General Li happily took out a small wine jug and took a sip of the medicinal wine that soothes the muscles and invigorates the blood, and said: "The military advisor hurriedly said what the flaw was, since I learned the news that more than 20,000 Tuliao people were coming to retaliate, my worried hair has turned a lot gray in the past few days. ”
Old Medical Officer Sun smiled slightly: "It's not a big problem, there are two places." First: The Tuliao people have invaded our dynasty year after year over the years, and now they have broken through Zhongshen City in one fell swoop. Now that the army of our dynasty is rotten, its combat power has long been insufficient to resist the wolf-like cavalry of the Tuliao Dynasty, so the Tuliao people have been fighting against the army of the Zhou Dynasty in our peace, and they have been fighting a tailwind battle, and they have long since stopped taking our soldiers in their eyes. No matter how cautious the Tuliao people who came this time were, I'm afraid they still didn't take us seriously, after all, they have been fighting for so many years, and they are used to it. Facing the enemy, this is the first flaw of the Tuliao people. ”
Doctor Xiao Liu didn't wait for Master to finish speaking, and couldn't help but urge: "Master, what about the second?" Old Doctor Sun said slowly: "Everyone knows about this second, but they don't usually pay attention to it." When Old Doctor Sun said this, Li Deyi couldn't help it, took a small step forward, and leaned closer to listen carefully. Old Medical Officer Sun coughed, and then said: "The invasion of the Tuliao people is a war to destroy the country, and the great khan of the Ashina family of the Tuliao royal court personally leads the army, and the patriarchs of the major tribes must also personally lead the troops into battle. Xiao Liu said: "This must be so, the great Khan of the Tuliao Ashina family has come in person, if the patriarch of a big tribe wants to stay in the grassland secretly, I am afraid that he will be the first to send troops to destroy the Tuliao Golden Horde." And this time, the Tuliao people will definitely not easily send the militaristic weapon of 'exploding arrows' to other big tribes, after all, now the biggest foreign enemy of the Ping Zhou Dynasty has been broken through the capital by the Tuliao people. Now in the heart of the Tuliao Great Khan, I am afraid that the major tribes on the steppe with tens of thousands of troops are the biggest trouble. We don't have to worry about the 'exploding arrows' of this Mughal tribe this time, unless the Great Khan of the Ashina family is dizzy and doesn't want to completely unify the grassland. ”
"That's right, this time to take revenge on our Mughal tribe, they must be the patriarch himself leading the army. Although the Tuliao people have now established themselves as emperors on the grassland, they still can't get rid of the habits of primitive tribes. Everything in the tribes of the grassland is still based on the patriarch, and in this kind of war of annihilation, the patriarch will inevitably lead his guards in the Chinese army. At that time, we only need to create an opportunity to let Wang Zhuangbiao lead our best cavalry to break through the Chinese army in one fell swoop and kill its patriarch on the spot, and then this army will definitely be in chaos without a fight. According to the customs of the Tuliao people, the first thing they should do when they arrive is not to take revenge, but to rush back to the grassland and start competing for the position of patriarch. ”
When Mr. Li heard this, his eyes lit up, and he slapped the table and said, "Yes, it is still Sun Junshi's scriptures, and he can think of ideas from the customs of the Tuliao people." Dr. Xiao Liu frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Master, how can we create opportunities?" ”
Old Doctor Sun called a few people to the big sand table in the house, and explained the terrain on the sand table in a low voice.
Patiently waiting for Old Doctor Sun to finish talking about tactics in detail, Li De glanced at a room full of people who were in deep thought, no one spoke for the time being, and when he walked in front of the master, he was about to ask for battle. Medical Officer Xiao Liu spoke first: "Wang Zhuangbiao's men and horses are extremely important in this battle, if we can't successfully break through the Chinese army of the Tuliao people, I'm afraid our Weibei battalion will die in this battle." Master, let Li Deyi ride that mule together, that mule has the control of his junior brother, and now it is also the first-class combat power of the cavalry of our Weibei Battalion, although it is not as good as Wang Zhuangbiao, but it is not something that ordinary cavalry can deal with. ”
When the old doctor Sun heard this, he turned his head to look at Li Deyi with inquiring eyes. Li Deyi was willing to do so in his heart, and hurriedly nodded, "Let me go, Master." Although I have only just entered the magnificent realm now, I can be regarded as a battle-hardened person, and I am very familiar with the doorway on the battle array. What's more, I also took the "Hummer" with me to ensure that it was okay. The old doctor Sun glanced at Li Deyi, and he didn't agree, not because the old man didn't want to agree, but this battle was very dangerous.
Doctor Xiao Liu couldn't help but raise his hand and give Li De a head and said, "As long as you are still familiar with the doorway on the battlefield, you are familiar with a fart!" You fought those battles, and there were one or two thousand people on both sides, but this time the Tuliao people came with 20,000 people, do you know it! 20,000 people standing in front of you, do you know how wide it can be? Looking at your frizzy appearance today, I shouldn't have asked you to go along, something will definitely happen when the time comes. Li Deyi was sobered up by his senior brother, shrunk his neck and said, "Master, I was wrong." ”
Old Doctor Sun sat in silence for a while before he said to Li Deyi: "The Tuliao people still have five days to arrive, what should you do when you go back first." Everyone should also go back and prepare according to the previous discussion, the next big battle is related to the survival of our Weibei camp, and we must not be careless. ”
Mr. Li patted Li Deyi before going out and said, "Child, remember, you need to calm down every time you come to a major event." If you look like this, it's easy to lose your life in a daze. Li Deyi didn't speak, just nodded vigorously. After returning home, Li Deyi still taught the boys to read and write as usual every morning, and then seized the time to wash the "Humvee" and feed the food with added food, so as to help the "Humvee" recover quickly from the previous expedition and make up for the mule power he had consumed and the fat Biao that had fallen.
Old Medical Officer Sun once mentioned to Li Deyi that although "Hummer" has his father's fierce-eyed dragon blood and likes to eat meat, after all, he still has half his mother's donkey blood, and he wants to eat forage. Li Deyi tried to feed the forage a few times, but the "Hummer" ignored it and went straight to the meat. Li Deyi had no choice, so he had to use his brain to think of a trick, he first begged Wang Da Fat to make a lot of "Hummer" favorite smoked pork patties, and then sandwiched the grass between the two meatloafs, boiled beans, and then tied them with straw ropes to the dead ground, and fed them to the "Hummer" together. Although the "Hummer" ate it for the first time, he also saw that it was a vegetarian filling in the middle, so he thought he was clever enough to eat the meatloaf, and the vegetarian stuffing spit it out. Unexpectedly, Li Deyi deliberately asked Wang Da Fat to air dry the meatloaf after it was ready, so that the meatloaf could not bite hard, and when he chewed the meatloaf hard, the vegetarian filling in it had already been mixed with the meatloaf, and he couldn't spit it out anymore. "Hummer" wanted to spit it out, but he was reluctant to swallow the meaty aroma in his mouth, so he had no choice but to swallow it together.
"Hummer" ate the spiced meatloaf and was re-nourished in a few days. In the past few days, Li Deyi still went to practice hammering and hammering iron in the afternoon. But this time, Li Deyi found an iron plate out of nowhere, and compared it according to his own size, planning to try to hit a protective inner armor by himself, and wear it on his chest when the time comes, so as to protect the heart and lungs in the front. This time, Li Deyi picked up the small hammer again, put down the small hammer and immediately picked up the twenty-pound sledgehammer, trying to build it himself. As a result, although I exercised my body, it was just like that, and striking iron seemed to be a physical job, but it required a lot of experience and skill. Although Li Deyi has passed the realm of harmony, he can see that this skill can be compared to that of an old blacksmith, but unfortunately the experience is too bad. In the end, although a piece of iron plate was beaten, the shape was really unseeable, and Dr. Liu laughed and said that Li Deyi had eaten too much bread and planned to go into battle with a discus.
Although the Weibei Battalion said that the war was imminent, everyone was still making preparations before the war in an orderly manner, except for Li Deyi, which veteran of the Weibei Battalion had not experienced the battle of 100,000 people, and the 20,000 enemy troops this time were just ordinary in their eyes.
At this time, the winter is already deep, the snow is beginning to fall heavier and heavier, the road is becoming more and more difficult to walk, and the Tuliao people are also hindered by the heavy snow, and the original five-day journey is hard to walk for ten days to arrive. It was also a coincidence that as soon as the Tuliao people arrived, the heavy snow that had been falling for eight days stopped in a row.
Old Medical Officer Sun looked at the Tuliao people outside the city and smiled: "The snow has stopped, it's just right, and the soldiers won't have to brave the snow to defeat the Tuliao people later, hahaha, this is God's help!" Weibei camp, victory! Doctor Xiao Liu silently watched the master insist on turning the black into white, but this is related to the morale of this battle, and he must not interrupt at this moment.
Inside the city gate, the big fat man Wang was wearing three layers of armor, holding a huge steel shield weighing more than 100 catties specially built for him in one hand, holding the commonly used iron whip in the other, and carrying three iron guns behind his back, standing at the front of the team. Behind the big fat man was an elite cavalry of 100 people, riding the best horses in the Weibei camp now, with both men and horses in armor, and people in iron armor, and the horses were covered with cotton vests made of cotton and thick cloth. Although the Weibei battalion is quite rich now, it is still almost dead to make up the iron armor of 100 people, but it can barely be scraped together.
Li Deyi stood next to Wang Da Fat, riding a "Humvee" under his crotch, and he was wearing a stainless steel ring lock armor that the master specially asked someone to change for him to be one size smaller. Doctor Xiao Liu instructed uncomfortably beside him: "Later, when you go into battle, you will never be allowed to rush around!" As he spoke, he patted the "Hummer": "Not only him, but also you, you are not allowed to rush with my junior brother, and honestly follow the fat man Wang to rush into battle!" If something happens to my junior brother, see how I clean you up! After saying this, Dr. Xiao Liu deliberately made a murderous expression, which frightened the "Hummer" and trembled. He raised his head and said to Li Deyi: "General Li has always been seriously injured, the master is old and sick, and there can be no general in the city, so I need to defend the city in this battle." You should be careful this time, and don't act without permission! Otherwise, I'll have to march when I come back! ”
Wang Da Fat Man heard it next to him, and laughed and said: "Little doctor, don't worry, this battle is a husband and wife, and the thief chief will be slaughtered!" No matter how many people there are, it's for nothing! ”
