Chapter 5: This Is My Soldier?
"What? This is my soldier? Li Qing looked at the front of him with his mouth open, dumbfounded, where are the three hundred soldiers, it is clearly the three hundred wounded, there is a moan in his ears, there are blood stains in front of him, and there are a few lying silently where they are, and they don't know if they can still live.
"Yes, yes! Lu Dabing smiled, "Captain Li, you see, I have just selected the front battalion, and there is a serious shortage of soldiers, to be honest, these soldiers are all good soldiers, and the injuries are not serious, as long as they are well raised, they are like dragons and tigers, and they have all been on the battlefield, and they have seen blood, tsk, if it weren't for the marshal asking me to support you, I really can't bear them, and now I have to be cheap Captain Li."
Seeing Lu Dabing's smiling expression, Li Qing couldn't wait to immediately punch this face into a persimmon, but he also knew in his heart that if this punch was punched, his newly arrived Zhenwu Lieutenant would definitely be gone, maybe even Captain Yunlu would be gone, and he would immediately become a small soldier.
"Thank you! Li Qing forced himself to put on a smile, although he was a wounded soldier, he was still a human being, Lu Dabing was not bad, as long as they could live, they would definitely become good soldiers, but the premise was that they could survive, there were no antibiotics in this era, and the chance of surviving if they were injured was not great.
Wang Qinian, Jiang Kui, and Feng Guo looked blankly at the wounded soldiers who were entering the camp, a large group of people, you hold me, I support you, moaning all the way, and a few of them are carried on stretchers, and the few soldiers that Li Qing brought with him when he went to the front camp all became stretcher soldiers at this time, it was Li Qing, and there was also a wounded soldier on his arm.
"This is our soldier? Wang Qinian stared at Li Qing.
"For a long time, they will be my soldiers," Li Qing said sullenly.
"It's too much of a deception! Wang Qinian slammed his fist on the table, shaking everything on the table to the point of jumping, Li Qing glanced at him dissatisfied, "Old Wang, I know that you are very strong, you don't need to show off in front of me."
"But my lord, the commander promised to give us three hundred soldiers."
"Yes, it's 300 soldiers, but the marshal didn't say that 300 wounded soldiers can't do it. Lu Dabing played this trick with us, and we had nowhere to complain. Besides, do you think Dashuai will be more serious with Lu Dabing for us? If you really want to make trouble, the most you can do is laugh at Lu Dabing's cautious eyes, but we have added an enemy, Lu Dabing is the younger brother of General Lu Bi, and he has fallen out, so it's nothing good for us."
Jiang Kui said: "My lord, these three hundred soldiers are all wounded soldiers, I just went to check, more than two hundred were lightly injured, and more than a dozen were seriously injured, I saw that they couldn't survive, even those two hundred, and I don't know how many they could survive?" "These guys are veterans, and they know what it means to be injured.
Li Qing nodded and said, "Yes, this is the first thing we need to consider now, how to let them survive as much as possible. Oh, by the way, Feng Guo, have you brought back all the ordnance and food I asked you to receive? "
"My lord, bring it back, two hundred spears, one hundred war knives, one hundred leather shields, one hundred stone grain, and three hundred sets of military uniforms, all of which have been moved back." Feng Guo nodded and said, "The marshal spoke, these things did not detain us, and they were given to us very happily."
"Well, it seems that we don't need this batch of ordnance for the time being, so you let the previous brothers equip themselves first, and you have to be a little energetic. Jiang Kui, you go to the doctor and treat the wounds of the brothers."
"Yes, my lord, it's just that the doctor asks for money, and we're penniless now! Jiang Kui glanced at Li Qing in embarrassment.
Li Qing raised his head angrily, "Now that the entire Dingzhou has become a combat readiness area, I think our Changsheng Battalion has the right to requisition the doctors of the local medical center, go find it immediately, the brothers can't wait, even if you tie me, you have to tie me up."
Jiang Kui smiled and licked the corners of his mouth, "De Ling, my lord, with your words, I promise to tie one up for you."
Li Qing rolled his eyes, turned to Wang Qinian, and said: "Qinian, you take someone to tidy up our camp, there are so many wounded soldiers, don't make the camp like a garbage heap, and divide the wounded into camps according to their severity."
"Yes." Wang Qinian turned around and strode away.
"Feng Guo, you went to the arsenal today, did you hear any news? He turned his head and asked Feng Guo, who was staying on the side and doing nothing.
"My lord, now the city of Dingzhou is very nervous, and it is rumored that the brute soldiers are about to fight, and the three battalions in the Central Association have all entered the first-level combat readiness, and I heard that even the newly reorganized Xuanfeng battalion will also be incorporated into the reserve, and Lord Zhizhou is still mobilizing to be light and strong, in short, who is preparing for a big battle in Dingzhou now."
Li Qing pinched his teeth and said: "The barbarians are good at field warfare and not good at attacking cities, I think Dingzhou is so steep, as long as the leader of the barbarians is not kicked by a donkey, he will definitely not come to kick this iron plate."
Feng Guo smiled: "I'm afraid that the barbarian leader will have a brute attack."
Li Qing chuckled, "Brute? Feng Guo, you see that this time in the meadow, that guy dispatched soldiers and horses, ate the deputy general of the horse to death, and ate our 30,000 strong soldiers with 50,000 horses alive, is it the kind of person who only understands brute strength? This guy isn't simple! "
Feng Guo's eyes lit up: "Does the adult think that the barbarians will not come?" "
"That's not for sure, at least it's okay to come to Dingzhou to show prestige, anyway, it's impossible for the Dingzhou army to go out of the city to fight him in the field now."
"Hey! Feng Guo slapped his palms, "That's, to be honest, my lord, it's really terrible to fight with the barbarians, I'm not afraid of adult jokes, during the first battle of the meadow, I saw tens of thousands of war horses galloping over, and even the ground was shaken by the horse's hooves, and my legs were weak. I don't have enough cavalry in Dingzhou, and it is indeed not advisable to fight with the barbarians in the field."
Li Qing glanced at him lightly, "After the infantry is trained, it will be easy to clean up the cavalry."
Feng Guo shook his head in disbelief, and was about to refute, when there was a sudden commotion outside, mixed with a cry, Li Qing frowned, "What's wrong, go, go and see."
The two strode out of the camp.
Seeing Li Qing coming, Wang Qinian finally saw the savior, and said loudly: "Okay, okay, your lord is here, if you have anything to say, tell Lord Li directly!" "
Wang Qinian is very embarrassed now, surrounded by a large circle of wounded soldiers, and there are two seriously injured people lying on the ground, and one person is holding one of his legs.
"What's wrong? Li Qing vigilantly glanced at the wounded soldiers gathered in a group, and his scalp was a little explosive, could it be that he was bombing the camp and mutinied, not rather!
"Your Excellency! Although we are injured, but the injuries are not serious, we will definitely survive, please don't give up on us." Before Li Qing could understand what was going on, his two legs had been firmly held by the two wounded soldiers, and his scalp was numb, and Li Qing almost pulled out his waist knife.
Looking down at the two wounded soldiers holding their legs, one pressed a knife in the chest and abdomen, but wrapped it indiscriminately with a strip of cloth, blood was oozing out from under the cloth, and the other eye was gone, and blood was oozing out of the hole.
"Let go, what do you want to do? Feng Guo pulled out his waist knife and said sharply: "Do you want to rebel?" "
The two wounded soldiers let go of Li Qing's legs, fell to the ground, and cried loudly: "My lord, don't kill us, we will be fine soon, and we can still fight for our lords."
Li Qingqi said: "Who wants to kill you?" "
Feng Guo suddenly came to his senses, and whispered in his ear: "My lord, I know, the army generally makes up for the wounded soldiers who are extremely injured, so that they can go a little more happily, so as not to suffer more, just now the Lord asked Wang Qinian to move the camp, these seriously injured people must think that they are going to kill them."
Li Qing's heart trembled, "Who set the rules and discipline of this bastard?" "
Feng Guo glanced at Li Qing in surprise: "My lord, this is a common practice in the army, these seriously injured people must not be able to go to the battlefield again, even if they spend money to save them, most of them will not be able to save them, in order not to spend money in vain, so this situation is generally a matter of making up for it."
"Fart." Li Qing scolded, squatted down, and said, "Don't worry, you two, how can I, Li Qing, kill my own robe, just rest assured."
"Then why did the adults put us in a separate account? The wounded soldier with a wounded eye asked.
"I've already gone to ask for a doctor, and I'll put you in a separate battalion in order to save you seriously injured first." Li Qing said kindly.
"Are you right? The two looked at Li Qing suspiciously.
Li Qing smiled and stood up: "Brothers, today in front of everyone, Li Qing made an oath, from now on, no matter what injuries you have, I will not give up on you, if you violate this oath, let me Li Qing shoot through my heart, and I will not die well."
All the noise disappeared with Li Qing's words, the whole camp was extremely quiet, and after a while, a wounded man knelt down suddenly, and said, "Thank you, my lord, I am willing to die for my lord." As the first one knelt, one after another the wounded soldiers fell to the ground, "I am willing to die for my lord."
Li Qing waved his hand, "Everyone get up, listen to Lord Wang's arrangement to move the camp, the doctor will be there soon."
