Section 49: The old Du Ruhui

Yun Ye's camel city was once again disintegrated, turning into a small wooden lattice carried by fifty camels, and the time to assemble it into a fortified city was also extended by three times, but considering the poor terrain on the Gobi, it had to be so.

The camel city on the vast field is constantly spreading out and slowly gathering, going back and forth, and even a few changes can be put out, the Turks seem to have disappeared this year, Cheng Chumo's patrol range continues to expand, and still nothing has been found, which makes him very depressed, bad luck, when he didn't come, siege battles are not uncommon in Beiting, and he fell to Beiting, not to mention siege battles, even encounters have not been encountered.

"I'm out of luck." Cheng Chumo sat under the big tree and drank hard, Yun Ye accompanied him beside him, threw a bean into his mouth and patted Cheng Chumo on the shoulder and said: "You are cursing me, what I, the general hopes for the most, is that there is no war, what's wrong with playing camel city all day long, you see, now it is a long snake formation, and the camel in battle armor can divide and surround the enemy one by one by one by moving slowly, and swallow the last bite." ”

Cheng Chumo raised his head and glanced at Camel City, his mood became even lower, beat his chest and said: "What I want is a hard-fought war, not a game like yours, you are cheating, and Camel City is your biggest cheating tool." "This is nonsense, don't talk nonsense, expect this thing to be a grandfather, how can it cheat, according to you, we should throw away our clothes, armor and weapons, and bite our teeth with our bare butts is the real battle."

Beasts are doing this, what we are fighting now is not the body, but wisdom, and can use tools to kill the enemy, why do we have to ride a horse and chop around with a knife?

You should collect your thoughts, or go to the camel city to become a general. In this way, you can get into the position of general as soon as possible, a dignified lieutenant, and now you are still a captain, you are not ashamed. “

Yun Ye's words turned a deaf ear, and simply left the chair and squatted on the mouth of the qanat, staring at the gurgling water inside.

The martial arts that were boiled out after sleeping in the third watch and the fifth watch are now useless, and many weapons are now missing in the army, such as the huge catapult. Powerful Mo knives, rattan horse lances, replaced by crossbows, strong crossbows, eight-bull crossbows, these long-range weapons of destruction. Melee combat combined with a new gunpowder weapon is sufficient.

With a sword, Cheng Chumo would not have a problem dealing with ten by himself, but dealing with three soldiers with crossbow arrows and gunpowder weapons would be in a desperate situation, which was what made him feel sad suddenly.

Liu Zhengwu only had one arm left. This did not affect his command in the slightest, as the flag in his hand continued to change, the camel city would change into various postures in an instant, and he would be tested by the military department in three days, and he would not have much time to waste.

Tomorrow, the horse team will cooperate with the camel city to fight, and how to release the attacking horse team at the right time is something that Liu Zhengwu needs to pay special attention to, so he and the students of the academy have been studying the fastest way to open the city. The most wonderful thing about the camel city is that it can become a city gate in any direction, very suddenly. The enemy will definitely be caught off guard, and the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty will be able to launch the most fierce attack on the enemy in the most comfortable position.

Cheng Chumo strongly asked to personally command the cavalry, no one in the army could compete with him, Liu Zhengwu had to go up to the camel city to be the commander of the camel city, after two months, he found that he had fallen in love with this camel city.

It is better for the soldiers on the camel city to be literate. This has formed a consensus at the decision-making level, not to mention anything else, it will take a lot of time to recognize the various link fasteners on the camel city, not to mention the digital labels and instructions on it.

But Yun Ye's all-army literacy plan was completely ruined, and the soldiers finally learned two words in the morning. In the evening, he would swallow it with the rice, and when he asked the next morning, he couldn't remember what he had learned yesterday.

Only a small number of people can master the written language, watching those literate sergeants go up to the camel city to show them the red belt on their bodies, they can only scold their mother, and then swear that their son must read and write, otherwise he will not even be able to be Qiu Ba in the future.

The training is very hard, the summer under the flame mountain is simply a hell on earth, not only people can't stand it, even camels will raise their heads and roar twice, as long as they are people who come down from the camel city, they will immediately bring up a bucket of cold water from the karez, first stuff their heads in and drink a few sips, and then pour water on their bodies to cool down, at the end of the day, the water is too much, and people's stomachs will be as loud as animals as long as they walk.

At noon, it was time to rest, and the tall poplar trees were full of people, and the shady karez lanes were even more crowded, except for the camels, which seemed to be unconcerned, lying under the wooden shelves of the camel city, munching on the grass leisurely.

Du Ruhui came in person, this was beyond everyone's imagination, the seventy-year-old man was indeed too fortunate to travel thousands of miles, wearing a short coat, shaking a fan, accompanied by Yun Ye, he visited the entire camel city, looked at the red flame mountain in the distance, and said to Yun Ye with a smile: "It is said that this place is the extreme heat in the world, and today's view is really worthy of its name." "This is what the Gobi is like, especially in this generation, the stones of that mountain can be scalded on the meatloaf, the eggs are broken and put on, and they will be cooked in a short time, and it will not rain a few drops a year.

Yun Ye invited Du Ruhui to visit the qanats, such water conservancy projects were greatly praised by Lao Du, and asked Yun Ye not to forget to continue to extend the qanats into the distance during the garrison in the north courtyard, and he found that when the qanats arrived there, it was an oasis.

After visiting for a whole day, it was not until dinner time that Du Ruhui asked Yun Ye about the movements of the Turks, according to Guo Xiaoke's news, the Turks were already preparing for an expedition, and he built the Tang Dynasty to immediately go west, quickly control the entire Western Regions, and not let the Tubo people get involved. "Yunhou, Guo Xiaoke's performance has exceeded ten letters, and it is taboo for the generals to be discordant, Yunhou should be cautious." Du Ruhui said it meaningfully.

Yun Ye smiled: "My qualifications are not enough to convince people, Lao Guo is also a high-minded and arrogant lord, and there are such dissenting opinions, but in my opinion, it is not advisable to go west, at least within three years, horse thieves were rampant last year, I am not very worried, since the beginning of spring this year, all the horse thieves have disappeared, which makes me very worried, the situation is too weird, Du Xiang, I feel that there will be a big event this year, so this year I will not cross the snow mountain and return to the old site of Beiting, but prepare to stick to Gaochang, As long as Gaochang is guarded and they are not allowed to flow into the grassland, or Longyou, they will be satisfied.

As for Lao Guo, since he doesn't like to stay under my command, let's divide it, the twisted melon is not sweet, I don't care about his more than 10,000 people, on the contrary, I am very worried that he will make a big disaster. In fact, he only had to watch the Tibetan people prevent them from coming down from the plateau, and I don't understand why he was so radical. Maybe he would be quieter when he became the manager himself. I should have replied to my request to divide him, right? “

Du Ruhui nodded and said: "I came from Guo Xiaoke, and then I came to you, Guo Xiaoke's reaction was very intense, since you don't want to, then go back to the old system, I said the same thing to Guo Xiaoke, as for the crime of disrespecting Shangguan, there will naturally be public opinion when he returns to the Beijing Division." “

Yun Ye shook his head and said: "This is a trivial matter, I just hope that he will not forget to guard against the Tubo people, once the Tubo people tear through his defense line, they will be under the chaotic stone city, the chaotic stone city is more than fortified, and the enterprising is insufficient, the Tubo people only need to send a small number of troops to watch the chaotic stone city, and the remaining army is likely to knock on the pass, and then Shazhou, Yangguan, and Yumen Pass will bear the brunt, and this crime is something he can't afford." Now that you've brought me 10,000 reinforcements, I hope they'll be able to join the training soon, and I feel like time is running out. “

Du Ruhui took out the talisman and handed it to Yun Ye, and after Yun Ye received it, he handed it to the deputy general Cheng Chumo, who immediately went to count the soldiers and horses. For a moment the room was a little dull.

Du Ruhui brought 15,000 soldiers and horses, left 5,000 for Guo Xiaoke, and brought back 10,000 for Yun Ye, and the number of reinforcements requested by Yun Ye was at least 30,000, and the 10,000 cavalry did not meet Yun Ye's expectations. "Since the beginning of this year, the imperial court has withdrawn 30,000 troops from the land of Guanlong and went to the Western Regions, but His Majesty and the veterans believe that Shazhou, Yumen Pass, and Yangguan are the heaviest places, and Hexi cannot afford to lose, and the world will be shaken if there is a police in Hexi, so 15,000 soldiers and horses were supplemented to Su Dingfang. Yunhou, you have to be considerate of the difficulties of the military department. ”

"I know that you, an old man who is about to go to Shi, are going to go on this trip, just to stabilize the hearts of the soldiers, I also understand His Majesty's thoughts, there is no room for loss in the pass, even if it is broken outside the pass, it doesn't matter, I don't think His Majesty's wishful thinking will not succeed."

Du Ruhui smiled and said: "The old man is the last time to make a mistake, after the end of the matter, I will tease Sun not to ask about the world, the dynasty is going to be handed over to you young people to manage, in the past few years, the old man is very hesitant, and found that he can't understand the world, now the hot air balloons of the eldest grandson's family are flying all over the world, I heard that now it has begun to carry people and goods, and the spaceship made by King Wei can fly as far as three miles, but it will always blow up in the end."

Those young officials wrote excerpts about the treasures of the imperial court, but poor Fang Xuanling needed to find the students of the academy to explain it to him clearly in order to understand it thoroughly. Fang Mou Du Xuan, hehe, old man! (To be continued......)
