Roha's ability is unsatisfactory, and he is the worst of several handsome, and when Su Li was a handsome, he secretly gave him the "nickname" of straw bale. But at this time and then, now that Shang Shi has been captured, he has to rely on this straw bag to maintain a temporary balance, if he saves face, it is difficult to ensure that he will not be co-opted by Liefan and Kepu, so that he will be completely isolated.

"Good! It's rare for you to have the courage to do so, but remember the lessons of the past and don't take it lightly along the way! Su Li hesitated for a moment, but still showed a helpless smile, and gave him some advice, and then handed the arrow to Roha.

The two generals left, leaving only Lie Fan alone, and he had no choice but to carry grain and grass. Although he had a sense of overkill, Su Li felt that it was necessary to hone his temperament and reduce his arrogance a little.

Everything was properly arranged, and the Xianbei army was divided into two routes, and nearly 30,000 horses rushed straight to the small city of Taiping.

"Enemy attack!"

"Xianbei soldiers are coming to the Valley of Broken Souls!"

Receiving the alarm that the Xianbei soldiers were invading the territory, the soldiers and civilians in Taiping City tensed their nerves, but several big battles and small battles exercised the will and confidence of the Han people. Everything seemed to be very orderly, the people did not disturb the army, and the strong young people spontaneously organized a front team, gathered and waited for the use at any time.

"Military Broken Soul Valley! Is this Xianbei person in the water in his brain? Li Yi drew a big question mark in his head.

"There are less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but there are a lot of them, which shows that it is not a suspicious strategy." Yu Bing pondered for a moment and said: "The stone throwing machine is ready-made, and the stones and eggs are piled up in the valley, but picking up the halfway up the hill is only the first grade. Since Sully is unrepentant, then teach him a lesson, annihilate him in one fell swoop, and let him have a long memory! ”

The early warning system has been further improved, and today's water cold lamps can use the number of tail strips to report the approximate number of troops.

Thousands of soldiers and horses are not a small number, and it is always a bit far-fetched to say that they are suspicious soldiers, but Zhang Ying always feels that there is something wrong with it. Could it be that Suli poured out of the nest? Impossible, Xianbei has internal intrigues, the situation is complicated, and he is not a reckless man, how could he make a low-level mistake?

"Soldiers out of the Valley of Broken Souls, stop the incoming enemy!" Zhang Ying hesitated again and again, and finally made a decision.

More than a month has passed, and now the Taiping City, the strength has grown again, close to the Han and Xian borders, because of the Xianbei attack and humiliation, the Han people can not bear it, when they learned that the Taiping City has taught the Hu people a hard lesson, some of the poor people who have been humiliated by foreign races and oppressed by their compatriots have crossed the border and rushed to Taiping City to join Li Yi.

Only when his strength is strengthened can he have the ability to argue with Xianbei people, Li Yi naturally does not refuse to come, and the more the merrier. This is not a simple climb in numbers, but with real money as the backing, the pressure is getting heavier and heavier, making Li Yi breathless.

The textile mill was built, and the ability to spin and weave cloth was greatly improved. After the winter, the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law have nothing to do, and under the vigorous publicity and encouragement of Bing, they gradually devote themselves to the textile industry.

With a steady backlog of finished products and the inefficiency of dispersing the production of clothes, garment factories were born. The first batch of military uniforms were produced, not camouflage uniforms, because of the inferior dyeing technology, they could only be dyed a simple gray. It is the dream of every soldier to have a uniform costume, and it is also a joy to receive a gray cloth coat.

The textile mills, which had pinned great hopes on them, failed to turn around their fiscal deficits, and other projects could not be launched in a short time, and the time for the soldiers to sound again approached, should they owe their hard-earned money?

The treasury was empty, and only Li Yi and the others knew that the soldiers who were in the dark were already full of energy and high morale, holding broadswords, spears, bows and arrows, and rushed to the forefront of the battle.

After more than a month of intensive training, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers has made a qualitative leap. Taking cavalry as an example, if you carry out tactical charges, as well as melee slashing and fighting, with stirrups and saddles, you can completely destroy the Xianbei army. However, archery is still a weakness of the Han soldiers, and the archer who can ride and shoot well is even more inflated. Therefore, avoiding long-distance entanglement and entering contact warfare in the quickest and easiest way was the only choice for Han soldiers.

Stone-throwing, blocking...... All the troops entered the predetermined positions, just waiting for the Xianbei army to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Time passed moment by moment, from morning to afternoon, there was still no shadow of the Xianbei army, the soldiers couldn't hold their breath, half of them did not have serious winter clothes, but temporarily added a few layers of single clothes. Ten layers of single is not as good as a layer of cotton, several pieces of linen clothes are superimposed, the thermal insulation effect is too poor, lying in the cold wind for several hours, the soldiers can no longer support it, and they shiver from the cold.

In the Han Dynasty, cotton had not yet been introduced into the land of China, and the clothes for keeping out the cold were made of fur, and the poor people, how many people could have leather clothes, most of them could only choose to hide at home, which was the so-called "cat winter".

The lack of winter clothes affects the training of soldiers, weakens their combat effectiveness, and makes them more plagued by diseases such as typhoid fever. In order to equip more winter clothes, after the night attack on Shangshi, Li Yi organized a huge hunting operation, the soldiers entered the deep mountains and old forests in batches, touched the mountains and forests within a radius of dozens of miles, captured thousands of birds and animals, made winter clothes for the soldiers, and also harvested tens of thousands of catties of meat.

As the sun sets, night falls. The cold wind howled, seeping into the bone marrow, if the soldiers waited all night, I don't know how many people would freeze to death in the mountains and forests.

"Withdraw from the Valley of Broken Souls!" Zhang Ying issued an order to retreat.

Zhang Ying has woken up, she knows that this is the suspicious array of Su Li's old cloth, at this time, the ears and eyes of the enemy soldiers are scattered, and they must be watching every move of the Han soldiers. As the night darkened, it was a good time to withdraw troops.

"Don't be in a hurry, watch your step!"

"Those who are good movers will be punished as deserters!"

……

It has been nearly two months since the establishment of the army, and Li Yi, Zhang Ying and others have advocated building a strict military discipline, and Wang Ren, as the executor, is also very authoritative.

The team was retreating towards Taiping City in an orderly manner, and when the night swallowed the last ray of light, suddenly in the southeast direction, a lamp was raised, and in the starry sky without moonlight, the lamp was particularly eye-catching!

"Water Chill Lamp!" A shout pierced the night sky, like a thunderclap, bombarding the tense nerves of the soldiers.

"Enemy attack!"

"The army of Sully is coming!"

……

This accident came too suddenly, causing an uproar in the two mountains of Dragon and Phoenix, as well as in the central valley.

"Don't mess around!"

"Light the torch!"

……

Strict military discipline was like a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the soldiers, and under the orders of the officers, order was quickly restored.

The original plan was to retreat quietly, but the enemy attacked rapidly, Taiping is an empty city, and it is necessary to rush back to defend before the arrival of the enemy army, even if you compete in speed with all your might, it may not be comparable.
