Chapter 171: The Storm of War
Anyway, something leaned over to Lilac and pleaded.
"This..." Lilac looked embarrassed, not that Lilac didn't want to teach him, but this medical skill was inherited from Mr. Duck, and without Mr. Wei's permission, Lilac didn't dare to rashly accept the apprentice.
"Lilac, the military doctor has been born with the army all these years, and the credit is countless, so you agree." The eldest baby saw that Lilac had been embarrassed, so she persuaded her.
"Please also ask Mr. Ding to take me as an apprentice." The medic pleaded again.
Lilac was a little embarrassed, so she set her eyes on Xiao San's side, Xiao San nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
"My lord, you are definitely not able to be your master, and I will be able to hand over this acupuncture technique to Mr. one or two when I am free."
Lilac replied.
When the military doctor heard this, he no longer insisted on it, and he also knew that different medical skills were not passed on to outsiders, and he just wanted to learn the acupuncture method of cloves too much.
......
Time flickered, a few days passed, and Xiao San was also arranged in the barracks at this time, training here with the soldiers who had just joined the army this year.
"Hey, do you know that man? I heard that he did not come in with us. ”
"I don't know, but it is said that it was recommended by General Zeng's right-hand man, Dawa, look at him at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he is thin and weak, I am afraid that it will drift away as soon as the wind hangs."
In the interval between training, people were talking about whether they were a match or not, and the person who was talking about it was Xiao San, who was officially a newcomer.
Their words without the slightest concealment naturally reached Xiao San's ears, but Xiao San sneered and didn't care at all, he came to the northwest this time because he had his own ambitions, so naturally he wouldn't worry about these trivial matters.
"Why, what are you laughing at, don't you think what we said is inappropriate." The people who talked about Xiao San actually found that Xiao San had been leaking a mocking smile all along, and they were immediately angry.
However, Xiao San ignored the words of the two, and directly picked up the weapon on the side and started practicing again.
The person who was shooting arrows not far away looked at Xiao San with a smile and muttered: "A newcomer should look like a newcomer, and as soon as he came, he gave me a dismount and took away my archery prize." ”
said that he handed the broken silver in his hand to the hand of Xiao Sanzhi, who was talking about it.
"Thank you, Archon, last time."
At the same time that Xiao San's training was squeezed out, Lilac's side seemed to be more and more skilled, and several wounded who had not been solved by the military doctor before were healed by Lilac, and over time, the name of Ding Shenyi resounded from the barracks.
General Zeng is the lord of the army, and he is naturally curious about the new Ding Divine Doctor in the barracks, so he picked a free time to come to the military medical office, and the eldest baby naturally followed aside.
"I heard that there is a Ding Divine Doctor in the barracks, this time I want to see what kind of magic method it is." As soon as he entered the battalion commander, General Zeng's voice rang out.
Lilac, who had just finished giving medicine to the wounded on the side, naturally heard it and hurriedly ran over.
"Little lilac, worship the general."
"Lilac, could it be that you are the Ding Divine Doctor?" General Zeng was naturally full of surprise when he saw Lilac's childish face.
"My lord, this person is Doctor Ding, and he was born in the same place as the lowly position." Without waiting for Lilac to speak, the big baby on the side spoke.
"What kind of outstanding people are in this Xinghua Village, there is such a talent this time, first Xiao San, who has archery skills, and this time there is a wonderful Doctor Ding, it's really a pity, come to set up a banquet, I want to entertain the two Doctor Ding."
General Zeng has always been a lover of talents, and this time he was overjoyed to learn that Doctor Ding was also from the same place as Dawa.
...
"Xiao San, can you still adapt to the life in this barracks?"
At this time, Dawa also came to summon Xiao San to the banquet according to General Zeng's instructions, and happened to see Xiao San practicing this weapon in full swing.
"Fortunately, the knowledge of some weapons is less to play with, and some are rusty." Xiao San responded, and between his words, he walked with Dawa to the general's tent in the depths of the barracks.
"It seems that the rumors are indeed true, this Xiao San really relied on the Great Commander to gain face." Fang Caidawa's previous call to Xiao San confirmed the soldiers' previous guesses.
For a while, the soldiers were also talking about it, and they all spoke with their skills, and they naturally looked down on Xiao San's behavior.
In order to drive out the Xiongnu who invaded the border, the military camp began to train the new soldiers more brutally. And as soon as Xiao San entered training, it was not easy for Lilac to meet him, after all, how hard Xiao San worked now, the greater the chance of being alive on the battlefield. Ding Xiang saw that Xiao San worked so hard, and she couldn't give up, so she was also working hard to study the medical book she got from Mr. Wei.
Ding Xiang was tired of reading medical books every day, so she went to see Xiao San next to the training ground. Xiao San gets up every morning to carry out the three necessary military camp training, and occasionally conducts assault training at night, these trainings allow recruits to grow quickly, and then they can go to have a stop with the Huns, otherwise they will die in vain.
Xiao San is carrying out the necessary training in the training ground, the first item of physical strength, two people in a group of two to help and supervise, two people practice stone locks together, smash wooden stakes with their fists, two people boxing each other and so on, in order to make Xiao San The strength of their group of recruits grow rapidly, Xiao San feels good because he has been training at home since he was a child.
After the physical strength is boiled, the recruits will be asked to recuperate for two minutes, and they will practice their combat skills, that is, the use of weapons such as knives and bows. Sometimes, solo practice is performed with knives and other weapons to drive piles and shoot arrows at targets; Sometimes I will practice with veterans in pairs, and of course I will also train in groups of new recruits.
At this time, it was noon, and the captain called all the recruits to gather and go to eat and rest. After waiting for a while, call all the recruits to gather and carry out the last and most important one, which is to drill the formation. The formations are numerous and complex, but it is true that soldiers need to remember most that long-term contact.
Xiao San practiced the formation with these recruits, and the formation was varied, so that although Xiao San, who knew it, had more knowledge and understanding of the formation type. For example, although there are many formations in the lineup, the requirements are not high, such as the time of the whole team and the accuracy of the position, and the requirements are relatively low, because most of the soldiers recruited are illiterate, and it is difficult to do it if the requirements are high.
Xiao San grew up rapidly in this day's training, and he couldn't help but make the lieutenants who trained them feel that they had found a good seedling, and it was to increase Xiao San's training to make Xiao San more steady. Seeing Xiao San's hard work, Lilac also found a prescription to enhance his physique and relieve fatigue in the medical book, and secretly found herbs to boil for Xiao San to drink, so that Xiao San would not be ruined by high-intensity training.
Just when Xiao San and Ding Xiang were in the military camp where training was in full swing. The Xiongnu on the border began to move again, constantly testing the bottom line of the imperial court. At first, they only hijacked some passing traders, and did not attract the attention of the court and the army. However, those traders lost the idea of doing business, and the common people on the border had a little harder.
Seeing that this would not be stopped, the Huns became more and more bold. They began to plunder the grain and poultry of some small villages, and if they did not resist, they did not hurt anyone. But if they resist, it will not be their Huns' problem to hurt people.
Even so, these so-called minor problems were suppressed by local officials and did not reach the imperial court. On the contrary, the military officials have heard about it, but they are temporarily powerless, and they cannot act without military orders.
Blindly tolerating and concealing will only lead to more serious consequences. Those Xiongnu began to invade the city, although the soldiers defending the city fought bravely to kill the enemy, they could not withstand the large number of Xiongnu and their deadly fighting methods. The soldiers defending the city were killed, and the civilians were forced to take up arms for their own survival. It's just that they have not undergone professional training, and they can't beat these Huns at all, and those who are killed are killed, and those who are captured are captured.
Even more cruel was the way they treated their captives, they tied up the whole family. Then instead of blindfolding them, pull one out at random, disembowel, dig out the internal organs, cut off the facial features, and gouge out the eyes. What a painful thing to turn your loved ones into human beings in front of you, leaving you to watch and be powerless.
The invisible grief, despair, and helplessness pervade this slaughtered city. This kind of burning, killing, looting and all-evil behavior was carried out again and again, and only after several cities were occupied by the Xiongnu did it completely attract the attention of the imperial court.
The border cities were occupied by the invading Xiongnu one after another, after they occupied the city, they burned and plundered all kinds of evil, making the people miserable, and there were many homeless people in the Central Plains who were broken and miserable, and they could not bear to see the homeless people who were not clothed and fed, and the homeless people could not survive, and for a time the evil incidents in the Central Plains region emerged one after another.
In the early dynasty, the officials below handed over the folds, which were passed to the emperor by the great eunuchs. The emperor picked up the fold and saw that the border had lost several cities one after another, and he couldn't help but be furious, and before he could attack, the officials below called the big eunuch to pass the fold, and the emperor picked it up angrily.
When the emperor got up, he saw that there were displaced people from all over the Central Plains because of the war, some of these displaced people were forced to survive, and some were wicked people, etc., so that there were many small incidents of murder and robbery in various parts of the Central Plains.
The emperor was already angry because of the previous recital, and he was even more furious when he saw this recital. The Emperor threw the two letters on the table in front of him, stood up, and said angrily, "Ruin! Rubbish!! How can my people be like this!! When the officials below saw the emperor's anger, they quickly saluted and knelt down and shouted: "My emperor is angry! My Emperor is angry! ”
The emperor vented his anger in the court, and after retreating from the court, the emperor sat on the dragon chair. The emperor sat at the table, his chin propped up in his left hand and a pen in his right hand, tapping slowly on the table. His eyebrows furrowed slightly, his eyes were deep, as if he were ghostly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The emperor picked up the pen in his hand, wrote something on the table, and after writing, he threw it in front of the big eunuch Xiao Yanzi, and said lightly: "Xiao Yanzi, these two holy decrees, one you find someone to read aloud to the local government offices, ask them to open granaries and release grain to relieve the victims, and by the way, ask the military camps in various places to maintain order." ”
The emperor paused, stood up and looked into the distance, and said: "This other one, Xiao Yanzi, you go in person, go to General Zeng to announce the decree, tell him to go to the border and take the plundered to the city for the people of the world to take back!" Xiao Yanzi knelt down and bowed, and replied, "The little one must obey the will of the Holy One, and then go down to do it." After speaking, he picked up the two holy decrees and sorted them out, and walked outside.
On the other side, General Zeng received the holy decree, and after several plans, General Zeng led his troops to fight against the Xiongnu, and all the soldiers in the military camp lined up in formation, and the enemy Xiongnu also lined up to prepare. As soon as the flag was gone, the rumbling drums sounded, the soldiers advanced, and the two sides began to fight.
The soldiers in the front row of the line are the elite of the army, and they are the strongest in terms of morale and bravery. Zeng Jianjun's military formation adopted the wheel warfare method, and every other time in the battle, the horn would be sounded, and the soldiers in the front row would retreat to the rear of the formation to rest when they heard the sound, and at the same time, the soldiers in the back row would take over and continue the battle. There are about ten rows in a row, and a round of fighting in array, as long as you can hold on to a stick of incense and not die, you can basically retreat with your whole body, so the casualties of the soldiers in the front row are very few.
Because the enemy was too numerous, General Zeng used the Macedonian phalanx, and when the Macedonian phalanx charged forward, the soldiers were not rotated. The mobility of the Macedonian phalanx and the impact of the concerted efforts created a chaotic situation for the Huns. But soon the Huns integrated the formation again.
Several head-to-head confrontations did not stand on the advantage, but got a disadvantage, the number of Huns is too much, General Zeng commanded the army is still fighting bloodily, retreating means losing morale, General Zeng is naturally well versed in this truth.
Xiao San was in the recruit barracks, so he didn't leave the station, but he just heard about it, and Lilac was naturally in the rear to help as a military doctor, but this march and battle was not something Lilac could involve.
The Xiongnu were like a rainbow, and it can be said that the more fierce the battle, while General Zeng's side was defeated many times.
General Zeng frowned: "What should I do if I go on like this?" "Give the order immediately, and send out the men and horses," We can't lose any more troops! ”
At this time, the planner who had been watching the battle from the sidelines said: "We might as well deal with the Xiongnu and delay as much time as possible." Although we are now at a disadvantage, and the reckless people of the Huns are gaining momentum at the moment. It's better to consume and consume the opponent's physical strength."
General Zeng couldn't stop nodding, "It's a good idea," the planner continued, "As for the opportunity, it will be slowly cracked in the middle of the roundabout." ”
"That's good! Listen now! General Zeng said to his subordinates with a majestic face, "Order the soldiers not to charge into battle from now on, and start to implement the method of maneuvering with the enemy, consuming the enemy's physical strength, as for how to break through, listen to the order!" ”
"Yes!" The subordinates did not dare to slack off in the slightest, now that the war is tense, and the information is delivered one minute late, I don't know how many soldiers will die because of this.
The soldier immediately changed his battle plan after receiving the order. Start wrestling with it. When the enemy attacked, General Zeng's side was mainly defensive. When the enemy decided to weaken the offensive, Zeng made another tentative offensive on the military.
At the same time, General Zeng immediately sent people to the capital to ask for support.
"Ah Liang, you go to the stable and pull out five horses, you must be the fastest and the best endurance horses!" Ah Liang is a servant who has been with General Zeng for many years, and he knows General Zeng's habits well.
Ah Liang replied: "If the general has any orders, just say it!" The little ones will definitely work hard to finish! The general nodded in satisfaction.
"You take my token and go to the stables to lead the horses first. Then lead a few people with strong martial arts skills to go with you. I have a particularly urgent message for you to convey to the capital, so I want to guarantee your absolute safety! General Zeng said.
"When you arrive in the capital, you take out the token I gave you. approached the royal family and told the Holy Lord that the city was about to be lost, and the Xiongnu attacked fiercely. Immediate reinforcement is requested! ”
"Yes!" Ah Liang turned and ran towards the stable. General Zeng raised his eyes to look at the battlefield, and his eyes seemed to be getting more and more cloudy. War is merciless, and watching an individual fall in a pool of blood can't help but feel a lot of emotion.
"Give the order now, stop sparring with the enemy outside the city! All the soldiers returned to the city to strengthen the city defenses! "The archers were prepared above the city walls to prevent the Huns from rushing in when the gates were opened.
The black pressure of people above the city wall is like a dark cloud pressing down on the city. "Ready, ready, open the door, archers!" "Boom", the gate slowly opened, and everyone in the city raised their absolute vigilance. If the Huns took advantage of the chaos to enter the city gate, they would change into the clothes of General Zeng's men in the chaos. It was unimaginable. Various military secrets will also be exposed.
"Shoot the arrows!" General Zeng snorted coldly, as expected, there were Huns who wanted to fish in troubled waters and "swish" with a hundred arrows. The people fell in front of the city in pieces in agony.
"Why bother, alas." An old man in the city sighed.
When General Zeng's soldiers had completely entered the city, General Zeng shouted, "The soldiers in the city obey the order!" Ten meters away from the inside of the city gate, a hundred soldiers were arranged to guard it to prevent the Huns from breaking through the city gate and be fully prepared for the loss of defense! ”
"The archers on the city walls were always vigilant, and when they noticed that the Huns were attacking and looting the city, they did not hesitate to shoot and kill! Due to the limited resources in the city, reinforcements and material needs did not come! So we have to save arrows, if the enemy doesn't attack, we can focus on defense! ”
"Even if some people are not soldiers, since they are in the city, everyone lives and dies! And I ask you to find for me some stones of more than two tons in the city. When the Huns climb the wall and enter the city, we can roll the boulder down the wall! ”
After arranging, General Zeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's wait and see what happens to the rest." ”
Inside the Royal Palace.
"Report ——!" Emperor Long Yan calmed: "Say, what happened." "There is a person who looks like a servant outside the palace, claiming to be General Zeng, and asking to go to the Holy Lord"
The emperor raised his eyebrows, "You want to see me directly, hehe, it's interesting." Bring him to the temple! ”
Ah Liang stumbled to His Royal Highness with the guards, and immediately knelt down, "Report to the emperor, General Zeng is about to lose the city, and he is currently dealing with the Huns." Waiting for the arrival of military rations and reinforcements, our material base is being depleted, and the number of soldiers is greatly reduced. Reinforcements are being sent to help! ”
The emperor's face changed slightly, but then returned to normal. As the emperor, you can't easily lose your temper.
"The matter is urgent, Gonggong Li, you immediately arrange for 100,000 elite soldiers to go to support, without further ado! Let's go! "The emperor issued an order.
Ah Liang hurriedly kowtowed, "Thank you, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" ”
General Zeng maintained a firm belief that people are in the city, and people are lost in the city!
The Huns tried to attack the city many times, but the city was heavily defended, and all the Huns who made siege actions were either dead or wounded. The Xiongnu thought about it, such a reckless attack on the city would only cause losses to the soldiers.
