The wounds on the face are scarred and itchy, making people want to scratch but dare not scratch.

The wound is scarred, which means that the injury is stable. Although his appearance was ruined, his life was saved, which is a blessing in comparison.

Lying in bed for ten days, Shi Dayong knew nothing about what was happening outside. When he woke up, he wanted to move, and he had a feeling that if he didn't move again, the parts of his body would rust.

"Bring the mirror."

When I got out of bed, my first thought was to see what I had become of now.

However, this request made Guo Yi a little embarrassed, and he hesitated and said, "General, don't look at it." ”

"Why don't you look at it?"

Shi Dayong knew what he was worried about, and raised his hand and said nonchalantly: "If I don't even know what I have become, how can I be a man in the future?" Besides, we are warriors who lead troops to kill the enemy, and we are not scholars who read sage books, this face is ruined, what is in the way? Go, don't be a mother-in-law like a, you've been with me for so long, and you still don't know me? ”

"Does the general really want to see it?"

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. Guo Yi is still very worried that Shi Dayong can't accept his current appearance, after all, this is really too ugly.

"Of course, do you want me to joke with you?"

Shi Dayong, who was immortal, was in a good mood, and in order to make Guo Yi no longer worry about himself so much, he deliberately smiled at him. As everyone knows, his smile is very strange in Guo Yi's eyes.

"The general waits, and the little one goes to find a mirror."

Guo Yi couldn't resist Shi Dayong, so he had no choice but to find a bronze mirror and carefully handed it to Shi Dayong.

As soon as he took the bronze mirror, Shi Dayong couldn't wait to put it in front of his face.

When I saw it, I couldn't help but gasp: this is too ruthless!

In the mirror, only half of his face is intact, but the other half of his face is gone, if the mirror is slightly sideways, Shi Dayong in the mirror seems to be born with half of his face.

If you get closer to the mirror, you can clearly see the sunken pit, covered with blood scars, and it looks very thin and thin, as if you can pierce the skin of your face again with a gentle poke of your hand.

The shrapnel cut through the left side of the nose dye until the left ear drooped, cutting off half of the flesh of the face.

There is basically no flesh on the cheekbones, and the nose bone is like a cut off turnip, and the light is suddenly exposed.

What makes Shi Dayong happy is that his eyes are saved, otherwise if he is blind in one eye, he will be the same as Li Zicheng.

I don't know what medicine Li Shihe used, the wound not only healed quickly, but also did not become infected. Such a big wound, if it is infected, there will be ten more Li Shihe, and Shi Dayong's life will be completely reimbursed. In those days, there were no antibiotics.

However, Shi Dayong still has a little regret, not for the disfigurement, but for the original owner of the body, Brother Shi, you said that you have a good face, and you are stunned that you have been made into a half-faced person, and you are too sorry for others.

"General?" Seeing that Shi Dayong froze, Guo Yi thought that he still couldn't accept this dignity, so he hurriedly called him softly, afraid that the general would scratch his face if he didn't want to go crazy, and that would be the end. Li Shihe told him thousands of times, although the scar on this face has healed, but it can't be scratched, and if it is scratched to break the bleeding and cause inflammation, it really can't be saved.

"Huh?"

Shi Dayong responded casually, "It's okay, it's good, it's just a little scary, I'm afraid I can't walk at night in the future, otherwise I will scare people to death." After a pause, he said to himself: "It's not possible to go out to see people like this, you have to think of a way to cover it, otherwise it's like seeing a ghost in broad daylight, and it's not good to scare people, especially children." ”

After taking the mirror around the house a few times, he suddenly stopped and hurriedly ordered Guo Yi: "Go and call Lao Qin." ”

"What did you call him for?" Guo Yi wondered, if he wanted to call Li Shihe, why did he call Lao Qin, a craftsman.

Shi Dayong glared at him: "If you want to go, you can go, ask so much what to do." ”

Guo Yi was helpless, pouted, and had to go to Lao Qin again, and when he left, he ordered someone to bring some food to Shi Dayong.

After drinking porridge for a few days, Shi Dayong's mouth also faded out, and his stomach was very hungry, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to eat and drink. I don't want to, but my face hurts like a nerve, and then I remember that the wound is not completely healed, and this mouth can't be opened too much.

Helpless, chewing slowly like a little daughter-in-law, not to mention how uncomfortable it is to eat.

When Guo Yi found Lao Qin, Lao Qin was building a new armor, and when he heard that the general wanted to see him, Lao Qin was broken, so he threw down his work and followed Guo Yi to see Shi Dayong.

After the people arrived, they saw Shi Dayong eating there, Lao Qin didn't dare to disturb, and glanced at Guo Yi, Guo Yi nodded and shouted: "General, people have brought." ”

"Lao Qin is here."

Hearing the voice, Shi Dayong put down the bowl and looked up at Lao Qin. This look was terrible, only frightened Lao Qin to take a few steps back like a ghost, and screamed: "Mom! ”

Lao Qin's ghost screaming made Guo Yi anxious, for fear that Shi Dayong would be provoked, so he hurriedly grabbed Lao Qin and shouted, "What are you yelling about?" I haven't seen the general yet! ”

"Is it a general? …”

Lao Qin's eyes widened, and he looked at the half-faced person in disbelief.

"Why, I can't even hear my voice?" Shi Dayong was not angry with Lao Qin, he knew that his current appearance was really unacceptable. Hold out your hand and signal them to come in.

After entering the house with Guo Yi in fear, fear turned into curiosity, but he didn't dare to stare directly at Shi Dayong's face, Lao Qin could only lower his head and look secretly.

Seeing this, Shi Dayong didn't care, and said straight to the point: "General Ben's face is ruined, it's really hard to see people, you see if you can make a mask for me, I will wear this mask in the future, so as not to scare people." ”

"Masks?" Lao Qin was stunned, and immediately understood what Shi Dayong meant, but on the side, Guo Yi was very unhappy in his heart, a good person, but he had to wear a mask on his face, can it not make people sad.

"I wonder what kind of mask the general wants?" A mask is naturally difficult to defeat Lao Qin, who was born in iron, but the problem is that he doesn't know what kind of mask Shi Dayong wants.

"Well..."Shi Dayong thought for a while, and said casually: "It looks more majestic, it should be appropriate to wear it, and you can do the rest yourself." But quickly, the sooner the better, Ben will be in a hurry to wear it. ”

With a clear request, Lao Qin had a number in his heart, and nodded: "Okay, the small one will be done by the general immediately." After speaking, he bowed and respectfully retreated.

After Lao Qin left, Guo Yi wanted to say something, but his mouth opened, but he didn't say it. When Shi Dayong saw it, he smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling in the past, was afraid that he would not be able to scare the enemy because he was too handsome, so he gave himself a hideous bronze mask. Today, I, Shi Dayong, am afraid of scaring people because I am too ugly, so I put a mask on myself. This is the same mask, but it is not the same life.

sighed, remembered the battle of the Daling River, and hurriedly asked Guo Yi: "Are the reinforcements coming?" ”

Guo Yidao: "The reinforcements came early, and the general was hit by the cannon that day, if the reinforcements hadn't arrived in time, the small one wouldn't have been able to save the general from returning to the city." ”

"Oh?"

As soon as he heard that he was rescued by reinforcements, Shi Dayong hurriedly asked: "How many people came, but it was Sun Jingluo who led the army?" ”

Guo Yi shook his head: "The imperial court sent 40,000 troops from Guanmen Jizhen to help, but the leader was not Sun Jingluo, but Zhang Chunzhang, the soldier of the Dao. In the days you were in a coma, Master Zhang came to see you. ”

"Lord Zhang Chun, Lord Zhang?"

Shi Dayong was slightly stunned: Who is this person, why haven't you heard of it.

With a thought in his mind, he hurriedly asked again: "Can Master Zhang come to his aid?" ”

"Today is the day when the army will come to the rescue." Guo Yi turned around and looked out at the sky, and affirmed: "I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm already out of the city." ”

……………

At the head of Jinzhou City, Zhang Chun, who had drunk the wine of the expedition, looked at the tens of thousands of strong troops who were about to leave the city behind him, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If it weren't for the Ministry of War to recommend me, I would never have come to lead this army. ”

Hearing this, Sun Chengzong said sincerely: "The old gentleman's words are wrong, the students are in their last years, and the ancient people are handsome, which is a taboo for the soldiers, and it only increases the twilight in the army, and the old gentleman is in the army, and the students' hearts are more peaceful."

Zhang Chun shook his head and said earnestly: "Jinglu is too humble, in terms of age, I am older than Jinglue, if you say twilight, I am afraid that I will be even worse." To be honest, I have no chance of winning this expedition, but I am afraid that I will disappoint the emperor's expectations. ”

Qiu Hejia saw that it was not too early on the side, but Zhang Chun didn't seem to have the intention of leaving, so he hurriedly reminded: "Two adults, the time has come, let's invite the army out of the city." Dalinghe City is as elite as I am in Liaodong, and if it is too late, 15,000 soldiers will starve to death. ”

Zhang Chun nodded and said, "Master Qiu, don't worry, this official will be pulled out, and he will never dare to make a mistake." Then he gave the order to go out of the city.

Sun Chengzong suddenly asked him: "The Tartar is cunning and good at field battles, I don't know what the old gentleman has to do to break the enemy?" ”

Zhang Chun didn't think much about it, and blurted out: "Yuan Chonghuan's profit lies in sticking to it; Mangui's defeat lies in the wave battle. The Jurchens are nothing more than riding and shooting. The art of war is cloudy, the chariot is compared with the infantry, a chariot can be worth ten foot soldiers, and the cavalry can be worth ten horsemen. If you want to solve the siege of the Daling River today, you should avoid the shortcomings of our poor field battles, and form a battle formation with chariots to make it a city of activities. Our army marched slowly through the city, and although it was an attack, it was no different from a defense. The Jurchen attacked, just like defending the city, with firearms and crossbows, so that it could not move forward, and finally could be pushed to the city of Dalinghe. ”

Hearing this, Sun Chengzong sighed and said: "The strict car formation can indeed make up for the weakness of my field battle, but Huang Taiji is not an idle person, and the old gentleman must not take it lightly." ”

Zhang Chun nodded slightly: "I already knew that the slave chieftain was scheming, and I will pay more attention to this battle." The hour is not early, I will say goodbye to the two of you, and ask you to wait for the good news in the city! "Finished. Turned around and ordered his own soldiers: "Pass my commander's order, and the three armies will dial!"

On August 17 of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Shaoqing of Taifu Temple and Zhang Chun of the Soldier Preparation Daoist Supervision Army led the chief military officers Wu Xiang, Song Wei, and the deputy generals Zhang Jifu, Man Ku, Wang Zhijing, Zhang Hongmo, Yang Huazheng, Xue Dahu and others led an army of 40,000 and 2,000 chariots, and drove towards the direction of the Daling River.
