Chapter 86 Cutting Ears and Remembering Merits
Deep in the Gobi,
Buzz –
The tight bowstring stretched, and the bow body shook lightly,
Woohoo......
This is the sound of arrows cutting through the air,
The two wings of the prismatic arrows are gathered in front of the flanks, and the clusters are small and sharp, easily penetrating the unarmored barbarian cavalry, and when the arrows penetrate the infantry clothes, blood seeps out, and the feathers at the slight ends of the arrows tremble slightly.
Even if the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry held the bow at high speed, it was still very steady, and it was easy to harvest the lives of the barbarians.
"This is the Huyuan tribe. ”
Ma Youliang cut off the heads of the priests of the tribe and grinned.
The Huyuan tribe is just a small tribe among the barbarians, with a population of only a few thousand, and no more than eight or nine hundred barbarian soldiers.
"Eat lamb today. ”
The corpses piled up next to him did not affect Ma Youliang's appetite in the slightest, but was hooked by the lamb in the pen.
In the past, by your majesty's side,
The steamed buns mixed with blood and dirt have to be devoured,
After eating, we have to fight,
Occasionally eat a bowl of hot soup cakes, even if two severed fingers fall into it, pick it out and scold twice, and then continue to eat.
Eat next to the corpse,
For the oldest group of soldiers have long been accustomed to, the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry is also based on the earliest batch of veterans as the backbone of the formation, the new soldiers under the leadership of the veterans, and through blood and fire constantly sharpened this has the world's first class elite 300,000 Liangzhou Iron Cavalry.
An hour later,
The mutton on the red willow branch is already shiny,
Tear off a leg of mutton,
Ma Youliang took out a small bottle from his arms, shook out some white powder and sprinkled it carefully, and then handed it to Xu Xian, there is salt in the Tuoba tribe, and he also brought salt when he went on the expedition, but Ma Youliang is the kind of person who is used to saving in his bones, although it is coarse salt, he can't eat it in the past.
Horses have grain, grain, grain,
In fact, these two words alone have a lot of pinnacles,
It's very rustic and practical.
"Your Highness, eat something. ”
Ma Youliang smiled innocently twice after handing over the leg of mutton.
Xu Xian looked at the oily leg of mutton in his hand, and it was reasonable to say that he didn't have much appetite, and he was numb to killing, and now this greasy food really can't raise half of his appetite, but it's hard to be gracious, not to mention that he is really hungry.
Lamb inlet,
The smell has already wafted to the nostrils,
It is really difficult to swallow the mutton without various spices in one bite, and I can't bear the feeling of nausea, remembering the scene of the barbarian cooking the two-legged sheep, the mutton stained with the blood of the barbarian becomes extraordinarily sweet and delicious.
Viciously swallowed the whole leg of lamb into his belly,
Everyone knows the truth of killing half of mutton,
The leg of lamb is not big, and it is just a satisfying stomach to eat.
"Uncle Ma......"
Before he finished speaking, a delicate cigarette stick had already been handed to Xu Xian.
"Thank you. ”
The smoke is gently exhaled, forming a circle,
The gentle ascent eventually dissipates in the air.
"Your Highness, rest for a while. ”
"The Huyuan tribe is located in a remote area, and this place is not an important place among the barbarians, not to mention that the patrol cavalry has been dispatched, Your Highness, please rest assured. ”
Ma Youliang looked at the Liangzhou Iron Rider who was sleeping on the ground around him and sighed, going out this day is not as comfortable as being in Yumen Pass, not to mention that this trip has the intention of fighting to support the war, and he didn't bring much baggage.
In the Gobi, where the temperature difference between day and night is huge, it is much more comfortable to find a place to sleep in the shade during the day than at night, and the night is so cold that it can even form frost.
There are still people in the field stumbling and remembering something,
There are more than 50,000 soldiers in a town in Liangzhou, 40 captains, and more than 1,250 people leading soldiers in one person.
However, decapitation is not practical in many cases, you must know that in addition to borrowing the horse, you also need to master extremely high skills, in short, it is a technical job, the kind of reckless man with a few heads pinned to his waist can calmly kill people is always a minority, and there is no place to put this head when people kill more.
In addition to other ways that need to be recorded and reported layer by layer,
In the Liangzhou army, I always thought that cutting my ears was remembered,
"Yu, the military war has broken its ears. “
Since ancient times, the world has been honored by the left,
In order to avoid offensives, it is natural to cut off the left ear.
Abruptly remembered that when my father talked about the scene when he was covered in blood stains and carried more than a dozen baskets of left ears with his guards to find the court to receive the reward, the Chinese military clerk almost didn't stare out of his eyes, I don't know how many people were stunned, and he was inexplicably a little happy, of course, his master will do this thing is a little tasteless, but it is also in line with the character of the father at that age.
Looking closely, there were soldiers in the corpses who were cutting off the ears of the barbarians in the field, but Xu Xian paid attention to a little, the corpses of the women and children in the field were all intact, and no one moved that thought.
The military discipline in the Liangzhou army is strict, everyone also has their own arrogance in their hearts, killing the enemy on the battlefield is dignified, this is a deserved reward, they don't have the slightest pressure to do this kind of thing of slaughtering barbarians, and no one has done anything about exchanging the ears of women and children for military merits.
"Uncle Ma, how many people have you killed?"
Xu Xian asked abruptly.
"More than a dozen people, after all, there are more than 50,000 sons under his hands, and there are only more than 10,000 barbarians in total, we can't be cheeky to rob them. ”
Ma Youliang smiled, the skill of killing the enemy has long been meaningless for a person of his identity.
The army can be exchanged for silver in Liangzhou, and it is also the capital to climb up, the capable are up, and the mediocre are down, this is the rule of Liangzhou's iron fighting, Liangzhou soldiers have always been poor, but when they fight, the battlefield is full of white silver, as long as they have the ability, they can take it, and they can take it with peace of mind.
"Write down ......"
Guihai threw a burden behind with a knife, revealing a corner full of bloody ears.
"Hmm. ”
Xu Xian nodded, there was an inventory behind him, there were not many people who returned to the sea last night and killed with a knife, and the habit of holding a knife in his left hand is always not as good as that of his right hand, and it takes a process to get acquainted.
In fact, the military merits accumulated in the first battle of Beiliangcheng were already a very large amount of silver taels, and he returned to the sea to receive a knife before the expedition, but he was still alone, because all the silver was sent to the house of the willow girl.
Xu Xian still remembers the stunned look of the old couple when they saw the silver in the courtyard, and specially ran to the army to inquire, knowing that it was left by Guihai with a knife, only one sentence remained, help the man to save, people, you can't hang yourself on a tree, your daughter is dead and don't blame others, the man is still young and has to ask for an aunt.
The people of Liangzhou are simple, and you can see a lot from the words of the old couple.
Returning to the sea with a knife, agreed,
The old couple probably didn't know that their daughter was wearing a red dress before the burial, and she had worshiped heaven and earth.
So Guihai Yidao was going to save a lot of silver and give her ten miles of red makeup, so that the entire Beiliang City would know that Yidao already had an aunt, that is, Miss Liuliu.
Remember the jokes of the old pawns,
There is also a happy wine, which the whole city should drink.
When the sky is full of red clouds,
After a day and a night's travel, it is time to continue to go north after resting until dusk.
The whole army pulls out, and the iron horsemen step on the turf and mud debris splashes,
If you don't break the golden account, it's not an empty word.
Looking far to the south,
Presumably at this time, Qingguo has been overwhelmed by a large army,
My dad is under a lot of pressure,
We'll have to speed up the process here.
