Chapter 169: Heavy Armor (3)
In this day and age, ploughing cattle were very precious. Under normal circumstances, there is very little phenomenon of eating cattle, even if the big families buy the cattle back, they are also used for labor, and when the cattle are too old to work, they will eat the cattle. After Wei Hong bought the cattle back, they all ate them, which led to the lack of breeding of local cattle, and the number of cattle dropped sharply. Fortunately, it's winter, and it can be remedied, but since the disaster is caused by itself, you can only solve it yourself. Wei Hong paid out of his own pocket and bought nearly 10,000 head of cattle from several neighboring states and counties and sold them to local people at low prices. After calculating and losing thousands of taels of silver, during this period of time, Wei Hong wanted to cry without tears. Since then, Wei Hong has changed the meat of the soldiers from beef to a mixture of pork and chicken, eating pork in the morning and chicken in the afternoon.
The soldiers didn't have anything, they just had meat to eat, and they didn't care what kind of meat it was. But Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin stopped doing it, saying that they wanted to eat beef anyway, saying that they were used to eating and that they couldn't eat other meat. Because one of these two people commanded the cavalry and the other commanded the infantry, and the responsibility was heavy, Wei Hong did not dare to slack off, so he had to provide them with a meal of beef every day, which only blocked their mouths.
At this time, Li Dejian, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly appeared, and saw Wei Hong sitting on a stool, covering his body with a quilt, watching the soldiers practice. He walked up to Wei Hong and said with a smile: "Mr. Wei, why don't you go up and follow the training?" Move your body and you'll be warm. ”
Wei Hong's answer was very simple: "I am a businessman, and I use my brain." I'm afraid it's the first and last time in my life to go to the battlefield, and I don't need to charge into battle by myself, and it's useless to train all my muscles. It is enough to be able to deal with three or two ruffians and hooligans in case of emergency. ”
Li Dejian was out of temper by Wei Hong's words, and when he saw Cheng Chumo's training with soldiers, Li Dejian actually showed a trace of envy, making Wei Hong very helpless, and thought that this kid had a tendency to be abused.
Since the recent training has been wearing equipment, when it was time to eat at noon, Cheng Chumo took off the equipment on the ground, and his body was as light as a swallow. stepped to Li Dejian's side in two steps, stretched out a big hand like a tiger's claw to grab Li Dejian's shoulder, and pinched Li Dejian down with a little force. Cheng Chumo laughed and said, "Hehe, kid, aren't you flexible?" I'll see if you'll be able to escape from the palm of my hand! ”
Li Dejian couldn't bear the pain, and kept wailing, wailing and scolding his mother: "your grandma, I recruited you to provoke you?" You come up and do something at me? I am now a general under Hu Guogong, with more than 3,000 soldiers and horses in my hands, if you force me to be in a hurry, I will bring someone over to destroy you! ”
Cheng Chumo grinned, didn't take Li Dejian's words to heart at all, let go of his hand, pointed to the two thousand heavy armored troops behind him, and said, "Just your three thousand people, bringing them here is not enough to stuff your teeth." If you don't believe me, let's make an appointment and compare and compare? ”
Li Dejian looked at the two thousand heavily armored troops not far away, each of them was like a flood beast, revealing a breathtaking evil aura. Li Dejian swallowed and foamed with difficulty, and his mouth was unforgiving: "These soldiers are Mr. Wei's baby bumps, if you wait for the fight to start, you will lose the soldiers and lose the generals, Mr. Wei is not thinking about me." Forget it, I'm too lazy to meet you in general. ”
Wei Hong, who had been watching the play from the side, heard this, his eyes rolled, and he had a plan, and hurriedly called Li Dejian over, half-threatening and half-pleading: "Dejian, if you bring your 3,000 people over, let's compete on both sides." These are said to be trained by the light, and they have no actual combat experience at all, so they just take this opportunity to pile up actual combat skills, what do you say? ”
Hearing this, Li Dejian shook his head: "Pull it down quickly, my soldiers are the main force defending the city!" Fight with these cattle in your hands, if you are injured and can't defend the city, who is responsible? If you really want your gang of soldiers to practice, I can give you a solution. ”
"What's the solution? Say it! Wei Hong said excitedly.
There is a saying that it is better to practice martial arts for three years than to fight for a year, and it is never as good as the accumulation of actual combat on paper. Although these hard training has made all the heavy armor soldiers strong, but without the accumulation of actual combat experience, they are just a group of stupid big men who are useless. To use the simplest analogy, the disadvantage of the heavy armoured army is that it moves slowly, if you meet an experienced veteran on the battlefield, they will stand outside your attack range without meliance, and hit you in the eye with a spear or bow, even if they can't kill the heavy armoured army, you can also restrict the movement of the heavy armoured army. If this happens, how should the heavy armoured army react? All of this is backed up by years of experience gained from fighting.
Seeing that Wei Hong was so interested, Li Dejian hesitated for a moment and then said: "This morning, I heard Hu Guogong say that there is a small group of Turkic soldiers thirty kilometers away from the Guanwai. It is said that there were about 500 people, all cavalry, constantly wandering outside the pass, as if they were preparing to attack the people nearby. Hu Guogong ordered me to exterminate those 500 people, but the horses of the Hui Turks ran fast, and it was not easy to exterminate the 500 cavalry. Or will you take my place? ”
Hearing this, Wei Hong nodded again and again: "Of course you can!" However, how does Hu Guogong explain it? ”
Li Dejian poked Wei Hong with his elbow and said with a meaningful smile: "Aren't you on good terms with the Holy One?" A while ago, I almost ate all the cattle in Horsehair Mountain, and I was just scolded, if I had changed to another general, I am afraid that he would have been beheaded for public display. With your position before the Holy One, tell the Holy One about this, and you will do it! ”
Originally, Wei Hong was still very aggrieved in his heart, and felt that Comrade Lao Li was making too much of a fuss, isn't it just eating a few cows. At this time, after listening to Li Dejian's words, Wei Hong's feelings in his heart suddenly changed drastically, and it seemed that his status in the eyes of Comrade Lao Li was not comparable to ordinary people.
Thinking of this, Wei Hong's mood was very happy, and he immediately nodded and responded: "Okay, I'll go and talk to the saint about this later." ”
Compared with Wei Hong, Li Dejian was in a better mood, humming a little song and leaving. Dumping this mess on Wei Hong, whether it is to annihilate those five hundred people or let them escape, it is Wei Hong's responsibility, and it has nothing to do with him. Cheng Chumo and Li Dejian have played since they were children, and they know Li Dejian's spleen surname, and as soon as Li Dejian leaves, he pouted his mouth and snorted coldly: "This kid has made up his mind early in the morning to give this matter to you, and now he must be very proud in his heart!" ”
