Chapter 14: On the Grinding of Soldiers (Part I)

Everyone was talking about it here, but it was fluttering and snowflakes were falling outside.

He Dali's wine dissipated, and he suddenly felt a chill coming from the iron pillar behind him. The cold wind was raging, the snowflakes invaded the face, and the whole body was so cold that it was verbose.

"Dragon shovel, is it cold?"

"Can you not be cold? It's cold, it's cold, and you're used to it. ”

He Dali was tied to the iron pillar with his whole body, only his neck could be turned, he looked at Long Yuandong and said with a smile: "Haha, you have become a snowman!"

"What's so funny? You're not a bear yet!"

He Dali laughed for a while, and felt bored, and said: "I would have known that I wouldn't have come to be a soldier, there are also rules here, and there are also rules, and you will make mistakes at every turn." Why don't we just break the rope and walk away! Wouldn't it be nice that the mountains are free, and when you are thirsty, you can drink spring water, and when you are hungry, you can hunt and eat? Why should we suffer this sin?"

He tried the rope on his body, thinking that if he used all his strength, he should be able to break it.

"!" Long Yuandong scolded angrily: "Your brain is frozen or what? Don't you see that there are all soldiers over there? As soon as we left, they all saw it! I had already violated military law, and if I ran away again, I would be sentenced to death? Besides, I had enough time in the mountains, and every time I went to hunt in the mountains and climbed the ditches to find something to eat, and even dug up the graves of the dead, do you remember? At that time, you were so frightened that you peed your pants!"

"Fart! When have I ever peed my pants? I told you, I didn't pee my pants that time, it was a nest of bird eggs that I took out and broke in the crotch of my pants!"

"Why are the eggs hidden in the crotch?"

"Because I want to see if I can hatch a bird!"

Long Yuandong laughed, his eyes were about to burst into tears, and he suddenly sighed and said, "That kind of life is interesting and interesting, and it is not interesting to say that it is boring." It's too boring to stay in the mountains all the time. Besides, you are not a woman, and you can't give me a son! Lao Tzu wants to be a soldier now, so that he can become a general in the future, find a bunch of wives, and give birth to a bunch of sons!"

"You're so shameless, aren't you? You still want to find a bunch of wives? I think I'll have enough wives to have. One is clever and the other is not so clever. After He Dali finished speaking, he smiled silently, suddenly hissed, gasped, and his whole body trembled.

"Why?

He snorted vigorously: "I want to pee!"

"Don't pee out, otherwise the urine will freeze, and your *** may not be able to keep it, not to mention two wives in the future, one wife can't be married." Long Yuandong smiled and said, "We've only tied it up for a few days, it's not a big deal." Listen to me, exhale, exhale all the qi, and then inhale deeply, cycle it a few times, slowly run the soul power, and spread it all over the body, so it won't be so uncomfortable!"

"Master taught me this method, but I forgot it. We were five or six years old. Later, Master didn't know where he went, so we searched everywhere. ”

Long Yuandong sighed: "I don't know how the master is now, if his old man is here, we won't be so down!"

He Dali was silent, thinking of the various deeds of sleeping in the open and escaping death in the past, and his eyes were red.

"Huh?"

Long Yuandong was suddenly surprised: "At this time, there are still people who come to grind the outlet?"

He Dali looked up and saw a team of people on the avenue, escorting a big car, galloping quickly towards the gate of the village.

The double-peaked sandwich of the wind tuyere, the confrontation between the north and the south, the breeze sweeps by, that is, it makes a whining sound, such as learning and grinding, so it gets the name of "grinding the wind". Because of its dangerous terrain and adjacent to the national border, the military village was built here, thinking that it was a fence.

The entrance of the military village faces northwest, the front mountain is gentle, the bottom is southeast, and the slope behind is very large. The overall situation is difficult to defend and easy to attack, which can be called a wonderful flower in the military village.

Therefore, it has been rumored since ancient times that Mofengkou was originally the territory of the Zhongming Empire, in that case, it would be just right to defend against the attack from the Hawkbeak Town of the Tuhao Empire.

Long and He, who were tied to the right of the granary of Beifeng, looked at it from a high position, and saw most of the road and the military village. After the group entered the cottage, the commander of the second battalion hurried to meet him with more than a dozen sergeants.

I saw a girl in the carriage, wearing a long scarlet cloak and a snow-white fox fur hat, with a brilliant style and beautiful eyes.

This girl's name is He Xiaoduo, the only daughter of the shield king He Baichuan, and she is the lord of Xiyuan County, and her status is noble, which is not trivial. What is puzzling is why the county lord braved the wind and cold with his body and risked his life to come to this frontier place?

It turns out that the shield king is over sixty years old, and he only has a daughter, who has always been regarded as a treasure, love like a pearl, and has been carefully cultivated since childhood, which is quite a woman's son and inherits the family position.

He Xiaoduo also lived up to his father's expectations, his qualifications were wonderful, and his cultivation speed was unmatched in the empire. And its nature is hearty and loves military affairs, and the shield king is especially happy in his heart, not only often encouraging, but even a little indulgent.

This time, He Xiaoduo came to the wind mill, and she also insisted on asking for it. The shield king thought to himself that if the jade was not cut and could not be made, let her go out for a long time to see, so as to sharpen her mind, even if she took a little risk, it was worth it.

That being said, He Baichuan was very careful about the safety of his beloved daughter, not only assigning his confidant and eighth-order soul saint to be his chief guard, but also carefully selecting eight sixth-order soul monarchs as his guards. Such a guard regiment, even under the siege of thousands of troops, is enough to break through the siege and protect itself.

After He Xiaoduo and others briefly greeted each other, they came to inspect the military village.

Snowflakes fall silently.

He Xiaoduo raised her eyes and looked into the distance, frowned slightly, and said: "The enemy army has just arrived, and its foothold is not stable, why doesn't our army attack and defend?"

A yellow-clothed scribe next to him, about fifty years old, with a green silk dyed with frost, a thin face and thin lips, smiled: "The enemy has been planning for a long time, and the soldiers are sharp, so they should temporarily avoid the edge, wait until they can eliminate their edge, sharpen their sharpness, and then hit it!"

He Xiaoduo replied: "The front of the mill is slow and the back is steep, there is no danger to defend, and the terrain is narrow, it is difficult to hide soldiers, what is the purpose of building a village here?"

The yellow-clothed scribe nodded slightly, and said approvingly: "County Lord, this village was built in the autumn of the thirteenth year of Yuanxing, seven hundred and thirty years ago. When the cottage was built, the topography of the mill was not like this. One hundred and twenty years ago, the Demon Flame Mountain earthquake, the north peak of the Mofeng Outlet collapsed, and the East Road was sunken, and it became what it is now. The royal court discussed military politics, and several times said that the abolition of the military village in Mofengkou was not implemented. Because the Eagle's Beak Pass is far away from the outpost earthen fort, the end and end cannot be echoed, so it is still necessary to grind the wind outlet for the transit and connect the end and the end. Recently, the enemy army has been very hot, and it has forced me too much, so I have re-increased my troops here. ”

He Xiaoduo said: "The earth fort has been lost, and the value of the transit between the two places of the wind outlet does not exist. Now that there is no danger to defend, is it not in vain to increase the troops? Why not withdraw into the city and concentrate your forces against the enemy?"

The yellow-clothed scribe said with a smile: "You can't keep the wind outlet, and you can't keep it. ”
