Chapter Eighty-Seven: Grievances Are Hard to Separate (Part II)
The hastily expanded Tianwu military exercise field is located in the north of Yongxing County, south of the river.
Originally, the north of Yongxing County was the camp of the Tianwu Army, but compared with the original 6,000 soldiers, it has now expanded to 20,000 Tianwu Army, so naturally it can't just rely on that small and simple camp, so the current camp is not known to be the original expanded version, and there is a circle of low stone walls and moats around the periphery, and the watchtowers stretch endlessly into the distance.
It's just that it can be seen that this camp that covers a large area is still under construction, and the trenches and walls used as fortifications are only a small section of the wall, but the camp tents and martial arts arenas have been built and sorted out in advance, and finally these people who came from the south thousands of miles away have not been allowed to sleep in the suburbs.
For the people of Yongxing County, the long-lost roar once again drifted from the north along the wind, but this time more people were no longer curious in their hearts, but a dullness, and even some people were praying silently. Because they knew that the roar sounded again, and another group of hairy young men came here, under the big banner with the word "leaf", and came to the red flag with a strong wind!
And what they prayed more was because the predecessors of these hairy young men had gone forward to follow the banner and fell on the way to defend the people of the land and water here, and finally turned into wisps of ethereal heroic souls, above the clear sky, watching a group of new Tianwu soldiers take their place and continue to charge!
Countless people silently looked at the sky, praying that those heroic spirits could bless Ye Envoy, bless the Tianwu Army and Xing**, and bless them who are trying to survive in the troubled times.
It's just that Ye Yingwu didn't have the heart to think so much at this time, just frowned tightly and looked at the dead and alive Xinding who was being practiced by a group of old soldiers under the order, and after a long time, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, only then did he realize that he had been standing here with his sword for too long, and his arms and legs were a little sore.
Although the soldiers who trained these new soldiers were all soldiers who had experienced the Battle of Macheng and even the Hanshui Pursuit Battle, compared to the old soldiers who Ye Yingwu had Yang Bao abduct and brought out, they were not allowed to give up, but now these new soldiers are far from being as well trained as the original Tianwu Army. You must know that the Tianwu Army was composed of elite soldiers drawn from various state capitals on Jiangnan West Road, and it can basically be said that they can be directly pulled into the battlefield without training, and most of the current Tianwu soldiers are young and strong in villages and towns that have not undergone training, not only have more people, but also start from scratch, and the effect of natural training is far less obvious than at the beginning.
However, although he complained on his lips, he didn't really blame the commanders and veterans of the Tianwu Army who presided over the training for not being careful, after all, this was something that had been expected, and it was impossible for anyone to let the person who was still carrying the hoe yesterday become a soldier who fought hard and fought desperately to kill the enemy and died today.
Watching Ye Yingwu walk off the high platform, Su Liuyi breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably in his heart, and nodded at the young man who had already appeared with a smile on his face. Ye Yingwu knew that if it were not for Su Liuyi, a battle-hardened general, to command and adjust in the middle, it would be impossible for the Tianwu Army to be trained even in today's weather, not to mention that he knew Su Liuyi's character, and he would never say that because Ye Yingwu handed him the task of training the Tianwu Army, he was secretly cultivating the power of his cronies.
Su Liuyi, although he is not the kind of amazing talent, but he is stable and resolute, so he can be entrusted with important tasks in the future, but these are all under the premise that the Song army can win in the battle of Xiangyang and the Tianwu army can take advantage of the situation to rise.
And now, Su Liuyi can only deign to be the deputy commander of the four compartments of the Tianwu Army here.
"How are these days?" Not caring at all about the gusts of wind and dust raised, Ye Yingwu walked straight to Su Liuyi and asked as if he were a family friend.
Su Liuyi was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied with a smile: "Although I haven't seen much stronger than the original, at least it has also made these people retract, and the last general has to say that these training methods that you have come up with are really making the last general suddenly open, if all the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are all this training scale, I am afraid that the mountains and rivers of the Han and Tang Dynasty have already been recovered." β
This time, Ye Yingwu was a little uncontrollable, after all, these methods were also copied from later generations, but seven hundred years ago, this firearm was only limited to the era when the two sides stood and shot at each other, and it was already absolutely whimsical and unconventional.
In the distance, a group of soldiers gritted their teeth and jumped directly into the quagmire under the leadership of the veteran leader, running forward with all their might, and there was a group of soldiers who had become mud monkeys on the edge of the quagmire who were loudly cheering for their companions in the quagmire. And where Ye Yingwu walked just now, the neat phalanx was already in chaos, and the soldiers holding wooden swords and shields were fighting against each other, the shouts were endless, and the sound of fighting resounded in the sky.
If it weren't for the discerning people who could see what was going on at a glance, I am afraid that the county town in the distance would still think that the Mongol army had been killed.
"It's okay to just practice like this?" Su Liuyi seemed to think of something, and said with a little worry, "Isn't it too much, there are not many people who have been injured in the past few days, no matter what, they are all members of our Tianwu Army, and they are all robes side by side under this big flagγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Looking at Ye Yingwu's smiling and even smug expression on the other side, Su Liuyi couldn't help but stop talking, and looked suspiciously at this young envoy who was not too cunning at all. But Ye Yingwu looked at it with interest for a while, and then said:
"I just heard General Su say 'our Tianwu Army', I am deeply grateful."
Su Liuyi was stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "Su is just a general of the defeated army, and he is already content to have a place in the heart of the envoy, and the envoy is really exalting Su." Being able to work for the king to serve dogs and horses can be regarded as Su's luck in this life. β
"I didn't expect General Su's kung fu to slap the horse is not bad at all." Ye Yingwu said a little ridiculously, he knew that Su Liuyi's words just now were sincere, but it was rare for this simple-hearted general to say such words, and he was really sorry for himself if he didn't laugh a few words, but then Ye Yingwu looked at Su Liuyi with a straight face, "General Su said that the training was too harsh just now, and I don't think it's γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»."
The young man, who had become the uncrowned king of the three counties of Xing**, stopped talking, glanced at the smoke and dust, and then continued: "General Su doesn't remember that at the foot of Macheng, on the bank of the Han River, how many Paoze brothers were bleeding. At that time, I was annoyed in my heart, why didn't I train them for one more day, even if it was an hour! It may be that one hour can bring back to life one, two, or even dozens of brothers who have fallen there! β
Ye Yingwu's tone became louder and louder, not only did Su Liuyi subconsciously stand solemnly, but even the veterans who trained the recruits over there glanced at several recruit leaders and gathered the team. The group of recruits were covered in mud, some were tired, and some were in dust, but all of them had bright eyes and listened to the words of the young envoy in front of them.
Already realizing that the entire martial arts arena was looking at the small corner where he was, Ye Yingwu just nodded slightly, but his voice was already unconsciously louder, and then said: "Brothers, maybe you feel very tired today, maybe you feel that your ten generals, Yu Hou, are all devils and bastardsγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
There was a low laugh below, but it quickly dissipated, and a team of soldiers subconsciously straightened their waists, although those old soldiers had been promoted, they still had no shelf at all, and stood straight at the front of the queue, like a benchmark!
In their opinion, the devil, bastard, is not at all deliberately derogatory. They are devils, bastards, wolves who tear and suck the flesh and blood of the Mongol Tartars to pieces!
Ye Yingwu suddenly grabbed a red flag beside him, and suddenly pulled the flagpole directly out of the sand, and then said: "However, a certain Ye Yingwu told you with his conscience that when you get to the battlefield, you will know that a drop of sweat shed today is a life on the battlefield at that time!" The Tianwu Army has never been afraid to fall for the sake of our banner, but this does not mean that the Tianwu Army needs to blindly shed blood for this banner! We need to hold it high, hold this red flag high, fight the vicious enemy, and then live, triumphant! β
"Tianwu Army, victory, triumph!" Su Liu Yimeng, who was standing beside Ye Yingwu, raised his arms and shouted!
"The Heavenly Martial Army - Victory! Triumph! Countless voices echoed under the sky, just like the roar of their predecessors who embarked on the journey north without hesitation under the guidance of the red flag many days ago!
This rolling sound is like a thunderbolt exploding on the field!
In an instant, Ye Yingwu had the illusion that he was back on the high platform that day. In front of him, there is still the Tianwu army that fought in Macheng and attacked Hanshui!
Tianwu Army, in this shout, the military soul of Tianwu Army is vividly displayed.
Do you see the fallen heroes in the sky? Someone will inherit your mantle; Your banner, someone will hold it high! Ye Yingwu couldn't help but look at the sky, above the sky, there were no clouds, only the bright blue sky and the solemn military array and high-spirited banner below corresponded!
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The gathered steel rush slowly dissipated, Ye Yingwu inserted the flag in his hand back into the ground, although the flag was not heavy, but he used his hand to hold it high for so long, and during this period, the spirit of the entire Tianwu Army was mobilized, at this time Ye Yingwu could already be said to be physically and mentally exhausted, when Su Liu Yi looked at him, this dignified Tianwu Army was the commander of the four compartments, and Xing ** Zhijun actually sat down on the ground with a slight weakness in his legs.
However, I don't know if Su Liuyi noticed this slightest abnormality, but he just said loudly with a glance: "Envoy Qiqi, it's almost noon, is lunch in this school field, if so, the last general will send someone to prepare." β
Ye Yingwu glanced at Su Liuyi meaningfully, and waved his hand: "What to prepare, what the soldiers eat will eat, is there so much attention?" I heard that General Su is the same in the Anji army, could it be that when he came to my Tianwu army, he changed his life? Is there too much unhealthy tendencies in the Tianwu Army, or is General Su willing to fall? β
Hearing the unkindness in Ye Yingwu's tone, Su Liuyi had already begun to break out in a cold sweat behind his back, but after all, he was in charge of a military brigade and later became famous in history, so he was not frightened, but his admiration for Ye Yingwu was three points more, it turned out that Ye Yingwu and the soldiers shared weal and woe in Macheng and could be understood as a lack of materials on the front line, and now he still insists on it, which shows the strength of this person's heart.
"That's the last general's mistake, and I hope to make the king forgive his sins." Su Liuyi still replied solemnly and respectfully, but then his voice changed, with a smile that was not concealed at all, "It's just that the last general is a little curious, the army supplies braised pork in the army every week today, so that Jun came here today, it is really a godsend coincidence." β
Rao is Ye Yingwu's old face was very thick, and he still couldn't help but blush, and immediately pretended not to see anything, turned around and walked directly to the center of the school field. Sensing that Ye Yingwu was coming, the Tianwu soldiers who had just dispersed all subconsciously slowed down slightly, so that the envoy they respected the most in their hearts could eat the first bite of hot food.
With the shouts of several strong men, simple low tables have been lined up at the edge of the school yard, and although the school yard is only a sketch, not only these tables, but even the pergola that shelters the sun has been prepared, and as soon as these tables are built, the pergola has also been erected. There is even a small canal that leads from the net lake not far away, and the clear water flows through the canal, with a hint of coolness.
As for what the canal does, you can see the wooden basins and barrels lined up on both sides of the canal. But now it is not these tempting rivers that attract those soldiers, but the large basin carried by a few strong men.
The red and white braised pork in the basin was piled up, flashing with Ye Ye's oily glow in the sun, almost subconsciously, even Ye Yingwu and Su Liuyi couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva gently, and the thick aroma of meat had already overflowed into the nose with the wind, stimulating everyone's taste buds.
The braised pork is followed by large pots of vegetables, while the other two wooden barrels are filled with natural milky rice and dried fish marinated in sauce.
For the soldiers of the Tianwu Army, the happiest time of the week is this time, because this seems to have enough braised pork with a unique taste, maybe for Ye Yingwu, who has never eaten big fish and meat, mountain and sea delicacies in his previous life, it is more to taste fresh, but for these soldiers, maybe they have not eaten meat a few times in their lives before.
It was for this weekly braised pork, and the soldiers who were about to saliva were willing to stand under Ye Yingwu's banner and follow the fearless charge of the figure in their hearts, and they also had to tell those neighbors who had hesitated that here was braised pork to eat, and it was a place to eat and be full.
Moreover, this is where the young god of war stands.
Still, a place blessed by countless heroic spirits.
Su Liuyi handed the prepared dishes and chopsticks to Ye Yingwu, Ye Yingwu bowed his head slightly and took a step. Behind him, one group after another of Tianwu soldiers stood solemnly, but the eyes they looked at Ye Yingwu were no longer only in awe, but also in the slightest trace of anxiety and expectation.
I didn't expect the commander of the four compartments of the Tianwu Army to come here in person, and the inexperienced young chef almost slipped his hand and dropped the piece of meat that exuded a strong aroma to the ground when he scooped the meat with a spoon, and the old chef who stood behind him and shouted at his subordinates also noticed that Ye Yingwu was coming, but it was not the first time that he cooked for the Tianwu Army twice, nor did he see this young man once or twice with an unshakable majestic aura Xing** Zhijun and Tianwu Army Commander, So not only did he skillfully take the spoon of the young chef and give Ye Yingwu a jar full of braised pork, but he also didn't forget the taste of this envoy, and picked two dishes, and piled up the sea bowl that was only available in the army.
Smiling at this chef who was also a little familiar, Ye Yingwu held his bowl with a little difficulty, turned around and walked straight in the direction of the low table. Immediately after him, Su Liuyi and a group of generals and soldiers of the Tianwu Army lined up in an orderly manner.
