Chapter 83: Punished

Zhou Tai saved his life, and Sun Yi also saved his life.

But Sun Yijun's order has been established, but the thirty military sticks that should be beaten are still not exempt.

When Sun Yi was pressed on the punishment platform, his face was still full of unconvinced, although he didn't say it, but his stubborn eyes and angry corners of his mouth still exposed his resentment towards Sun Quan at this time.

Thirty military sticks said not much, but said less and no less, with Sun Quan's instructions, the soldiers who executed did not release water, and every time the military stick hit Sun Yi's back, there was a heavy sound.

"One, two, three, four......"

Sun Yi gritted his teeth and refused to make a sound at this time, even if it was a moan. Because, in his heart, even a voice means that he bows his head to Sun Quan and admits defeat.

When the military stick hit the fifteenth time, Sun Yi's back was already covered with blood, and his face was hideous, but he still insisted.

And every time this hit Sun Yi's body, it also hit Sun Quan's heart, as a brother, Sun Quan believes that he is also responsible for poor supervision. He also ordered himself to be punished and received thirty military sticks to comfort the dead soldiers.

Sun Quan took off his armor and shirt in public, lay down on the punishment platform, and was imprisoned by Jiang Qin.

And the body under the armor is covered with all kinds of scars, both old and new, which are the traces left by Sun Quan in nearly 100 battles large and small since he followed Sun Ce at the age of ten.

Sun Yi was helped up by Bian Hong, even though his heart was full of anger, he couldn't help but feel a little moved when he passed by Sun Quan's side. But soon, he forced this little bit of emotion down.

——

Then, Liu Ye and Chen Su came twice to send troops to attack the city, and the Jiangdong army, under the leadership of Sun Quan, stuck to the city and resisted the attack of the Cao army.

It's just that the price is tragic, it's just that the thousand men and horses brought at the beginning, and now less than a third are left, and even in the last defensive battle, even Qiao Wei put on armor and followed Sun Quan's side, and with a crossbow with a skill, it can be regarded as a bit of military achievement.

Of course, Liu Ye's soldiers and horses in Xiapi City were almost exhausted, and he was unable to fight Sun Quan again, which was also a blessing in misfortune.

Sun Yi experienced being ambushed, and his heart became a lot calmer, and he didn't argue with Sun Quan in public, nor did he put forward any "strange schemes", and he was eager to make another meritorious service.

However, he is superb in martial arts, and he is by no means a thing in the pool, and in the battle to defend the city, there are more people who died in his hands than Jiang Qin and Gan Ning combined.

Even Gan Ning admitted that among all the people, Sun Yi is the most powerful in terms of the ability to fight alone, but he has a rebellious temperament and is unwilling to listen to the advice of others.

Sun Quan was still sitting in the tent, and Qiao Wei was drugged for him, and in just one month, Sun Quan had resisted four attacks by Cao Jun, successfully contained the support and response of the troops of Xiapi, Yancheng and Xuzhou to Cao Ren, and took Yancheng into his pocket and designated it as the county of Guangling County.

Sun Yi walked in lightly, "Brother Zhong, are you looking for me?" ”

"Hmm." Sun Quan took out a talisman and gave it to him, "Tomorrow, you will take a hundred crossbow cavalry and go to Runan, and obey your brother's dispatch." ”

Sun Yi was quite hesitant, and he didn't dare to reach out to pick up the soldiers, "Now that the soldiers and horses in the city are short of food and grass, if I take the men and horses again, how will Brother Zhong deal with the siege of Xiapi?" ”

Sun Quan said, "Brother Yu wrote a letter and asked for 300 soldiers, who are already on the way to Yancheng, and will arrive in a few days, you just have to take the troops to Runan." ”

This crossbow cavalry was specially equipped by Sun Quan in order to capture Yancheng, and the light cavalry was equipped with crossbows and simple stirrups.

The use of stirrups originated in the northern Xiongnu, but it was never adopted by the armies of the Han Dynasty. When Sun Quan heard Qiao Wei propose the use of stirrups, he subconsciously objected, but after Qiao Wei said it personally, he reluctantly agreed to use it when training new cavalry.

But soon, Sun Quan discovered the magic of stirrups.

In wartime, the selection and training of cavalry are very strict, and only in this way can elite cavalry be trained.

But at the same time, this also exposes a serious problem, the elite cavalry, first of all, needs one in a hundred, with a strong body and combat quality, and also needs years of training to be organized. Now in wartime, where is there so much time to wait for the training of such an elite cavalry?

Is the Jiangdong Army able to wait, and can the opponent wait?

Then, in addition to the very elite cavalry establishment, the use of stirrups can reduce some of the physical fitness requirements for cavalry, and can shorten the training and formation time of cavalry.

After all, on a horse, with the stirrup as the fulcrum of the body, it is equivalent to enhancing the soldier's ability to balance on the horse, which can maximize the advantages of riding a horse, and at the same time can effectively protect the safety of the horseman.

In addition, the biggest function of the stirrup is that it can free both hands, and the cavalry can rely on the balance of the feet to control and balance the horse to charge, stab, split, and strike, which greatly improves the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.

Therefore, the crossbow cavalry that Sun Quan handed over to Sun Yi should be regarded as the most important hole card in Sun Quan's hand now.

Sun Yi also knew how much of a role this crossbow cavalry played in the last time Liu Ye led his troops to attack Guangling, only a hundred crossbow cavalry directly entered the flank of Liu Ye's troops, and slaughtered a spearman of nearly 500 people directly.

The spearmen were originally restrained by the existence of cavalry, but under the double attack of the crossbow team and the crossbow cavalry, they were defeated in less than half an hour.

If this 100-man crossbow cavalry could support Sun Ce by surprise, it might be able to tear up a small gap in the confrontation between Sun Ce and Cao Ren.

Sun Yi immediately understood Sun Quan's intentions, and reached out to take this talisman, "I understand, I will set off early tomorrow morning." ”

Sun Quan didn't say anything more, just let out a faint "hmm" and waved his hand to let Sun Yi out.

Qiao Wei asked him, "Or are you soft-hearted?" ”

Yesterday, he was still clamoring to beat Sun Yi to sharpen his unruly temperament. Today, he still gave the talisman to Sun Yi, and also gave him the opportunity to make military merits in his heart.

"Brothers, after all." Brotherhood, blood is thicker than water, and Sun Quan can only lament.

Qiao Wei took out the "Fu Shui" he got from Yu Ji and carefully applied it to Sun Quan's wounds, and in just one month, Sun Quan had a lot of wounds on his body.

Even if Qiao Wei has seen through Yu Ji's "deception", this "Fu Shui" is indeed very useful, the wound is still bubbling with blood one second, and the next second he sees that the bleeding is stopped, and in two days, it can be completely healed.

Qiao Wei specially kept a little bit of attention, and asked Yu Ji for a lot of "Fu Shui" as a reserve, of course, this was also in exchange for "Passing through the Great God's Dream of Guidance".

When she left the tent, she bumped into Yu Ji head-on.
