Chapter 60 Assembly
Tu Jiaojiao leaned on the door frame and looked at her husband Ding Ergou, who was sweating profusely in the yard, chopping firewood. However, her one-year-old son was playing on the snow regardless of the cold. As a carefree man, he naturally didn't know the sorrow in his mother's heart at this moment.
Ding Ergou has just turned eighteen, and Tu Jiaojiao is one year younger than him.
But the two already have a son who is almost two years old.
Both of them went to Helanyuan three years ago.
When the Bei Yuan invaded, they carried out a wanton raid on the border. The Tu family and the Ding family were destroyed in this disaster. The two survivors became prisoners of the Bei Yuan, and were later taken to He by Xia Zhi. Lanyuan.
Ten days after Uehara, two people who were strangers to each other were brought together abruptly.
The reason is that the two of them drew the same number in a lottery.
Two ignorant teenagers formed a family.
Fifteen-year-old Ding Ergou and fourteen-year-old Tu Jiaojiao began their lives in Yuanshang.
"Can you not go?" After a long while, Tu Jiaojiao finally spoke.
The disaster three years ago left a deep shadow on him, and the battle in which they were finally rescued still makes her shudder when she thinks about it.
The war horses roared over, the bright swords and sharp arrows tore the bodies of the Beiyuan people in front of them, blood spattered and dyed her dress red.
That was her most direct understanding of war.
Life is like grass.
Some refugees became victims in the fight between the two sides, but she was a lucky one.
Tu Jiaojiao was really satisfied to be able to come to Yuan alive, to form a family with Ding Ergou, a man who was honest and loved women, and now had a son.
She doesn’t want her husband to go through what he did three years ago.
Ding Ergou split a thigh-thick piece of firewood in two with an axe. The cut was extremely neat. When he heard his wife's words, he turned around, punched the ax on the ground, and said with a smile: "This is Military order, how can you not go?"
"This one? Obviously, you signed up voluntarily and were selected from the list. As long as you don't sign up, of course you won't be selected!" Tu Jiaojiao said: "Don't lie to me. You also know that I know a few words. There is a notice from the government at the head of the village.”
Ding Ergou laughed: "Jiaojiao, you didn't let me go before, that's all, but this time, you have to listen to me. Look at Huang Dafu and his wife at the east end of the village. They lived a miserable life in the past. Far inferior to the two of us, but we only followed him down the mountain once, and when he came back, he put on new clothes and gold jewelry."
"It's better to be poorer, let's. It’s not like our family is having a hard time!" Tu Jiaojiao said firmly: "As long as our family is together, I will be very happy."
Ding Ergou shook his head: "Jiaojiao, even if you don't follow me. Said, but I also know that before you came to Uehara, your family must have been very good, and you must have been a eldest lady. Your body is so white, your hands are so soft, you don’t even have calluses, and you are still literate, you must not be as miserable as us haha. You are born, there is nothing you can do if you follow me! No matter what I do, I have to let you live a good life and not let you work in the fields with me!"
Tu Jiaojiao's tears! He came down immediately and looked at Ding Ergou blankly.
"Don't be afraid, the teacher teaches us people to practice martial arts! Many people can't practice it, but I am different. Now I am a martial arts practitioner! The teacher told me that I have already entered the rank. If you join the army, you can serve as a corps commander and be able to lead five people!" Ding Ergou stretched out his bare arms with a smile, and his bulging flesh was particularly eye-catching. "The instructor also said that if the technique we practice can be used on the battlefield and withstand fighting, the practice will be extremely fast. The instructor also said that at my age, there are endless possibilities, and maybe I can climb up the ladder. As long as we can master Qi Control, our family will be prosperous in Yuan Shang, and we can at least become the mayor of this village.”
Tu Jiaojiao looked at the determined Ding Ergou, wiped her eyes and entered the door. After a while, she took out a few strings of money from the house and said: "Since you want to go, then go to the workshop in the town and make some money." Buy all the utensils mentioned in the notice. If you don’t have enough money, you can pay it back on credit first, and I will pay it back slowly!”
Ding Ergou put down the ax in his hand, a happy smile appeared on his face: “ Don’t worry, I will definitely bring a lot of money back. The teacher said that all the things we capture when we go down the mountain this time will belong to us. If we win the battle, there will be many rewards!”
A group of ten! , a team of 100 people, a regiment of 300 people, and a mansion of 1,200 people.
For He Lanyuan, a team is like a village. When organizing, try to group people from the same village or familiar people together, so that during combat, the combat effectiveness can be exerted to a higher level.
It makes perfect sense to fight as brothers, and as father and son go into battle.
Because the usual training was extremely skillful, the military mobilization on Helanyuan was quite fast.
On the third day after Li Dachui returned to the original place, the first batch of 1,200 people had assembled and left Helanyuan under the leadership of the commander.
Each soldier is equipped with a set of leather armor, a horizontal sword, a horned crossbow, thirty arrows, a long spear, a short shovel, a lunch box, a kettle, and three Ten days of dry food, and each team also has twenty horses. If there are no horses, donkeys and mules will do. These are used for camel tents and other things. All these need to be prepared by the soldiers themselves.
These things are sold in the workshops run by the official government of Helanyuan. Moreover, each workshop is divided into categories and operates its own stall. All weapons have strict standards. If weapons that do not meet the quality requirements are sold, soldiers who bought these weapons can complain. Once it is found to be true, this workshop The manager will be in bad luck.
Ding Ergou was the first batch of soldiers to go to the plains.
As a warrior who had just entered the solid stage, he got his wish and became the fire chief, just like Huang Dafu in the same village. However, Huang Dafu came down the mountain for the second time. He was an old bird and he was still a rookie.
There are ten gangs in a village. No matter whether there were any conflicts or bad things in the village before, after forming an army, they must unite as a whole. This is the first time the regiment leader convened after the army was formed. These team leaders emphasized it again and again during the meeting.
"After forming an army, we will march according to the law of war." Zhou Wu, the head of the regiment, the head of their village, warned them with a straight face: "During the march, someone will specifically declare the law of war to you. , you'd better memorize it one by one, lest you feel wronged when I chop off your heads if you violate military law."
Ding Ergou usually thinks that the village chief Zhou Wu is an amiable person. When teaching him how to practice martial arts, he was very patient, but looking at that murderous face, Ding Ergou felt that he almost didn't recognize him.
On the second day of assembly, Ding Ergou discovered that the military law was really not a bluff, because the second regiment really killed people.
A sergeant went crazy for some unknown reason. He was making a lot of noise at night, and when he was dragged under the flagpole by their regimental commander, his body and head were separated with a knife.
For the first time, Ding Ergou felt the difference between soldiers and civilians.
I am afraid that this brother, like me, joined the army with the same dream of getting promoted and getting rich and living a good life, but he lost his head before he could do anything.
Li Dachui stood on the side of the gate tower, watching the first batch of troops going down to the plain, passing by him in an endless stream.
He was very satisfied with the spirit of this army.
This was why he had tried every means over the past few years to cultivate these people's desire for war.
The wild wolf has gone to the plains a few days ago, and it will be him who will kick off the war this time.
It is not easy to lure the enemy. If you don't do it well, the lightest consequence is that the enemy will not be fooled, and the worst consequence is that the enemy swallows the bait in one bite.
As the third largest force outside the customs, Yan Sheng has also gone through many trials and tribulations. It is not easy for him to be fooled.
Wild Wolf has been preparing for this day for several years.
Confronting the Yan family every year has brought the Yan family's anger to the top. This time the Yan family is facing the most critical choice point. The wild wolf is provoking again. If the Yan family cannot show their strength , inevitably people will look down upon them, thus losing some bargaining capital.
This is also the fundamental reason why Li Dachui wants to take action at this juncture.
It is really not easy to get this old and slippery thing to take the bait.
"Sir, the fire chief of each group must at least have a solid level of cultivation, and the leader of each regiment must at least have an air control cultivation level." Xia Zhi, who was standing next to Li Dachui, had a look on his face. It was a look of pride: "After three years of unremitting training, this army will never lose to any powerful army in the world."
"You still need to go through the hammering of war!" Li Dachui said: "The test of blood and fire is the only way to become a strong army. Xiao Changche's three thousand cavalry have experienced hundreds of battles. Compared with him, we are still It's far worse!"
"Diziying is not worse than them!" Xia Zhi said unconvinced.
"But now there are only a hundred people left in your Dizi camp, and the rest have been scattered among the three thousand troops!" Li Dachui looked back at the more than a hundred people behind him and said: " It's a sign of strength whether you can still use your arms like the three hundred people did before."
"The military flag points to it, and it will be invincible! Just wait and see, sir!"
" Well, if you have this spirit, that's a good start!" Li Dachui looked at Xia Zhi with relief. After that incident, Xia Zhi seemed to be a different person, which made him quite happy. When asked how Gu Xiaoman made Xia Zhi open his heart, Gu Xiaoman smiled and did not answer. Fang Mao Mao talked about him.
If you don't want to say it, don't say it. As long as Xia Zhi works with peace of mind and no longer thinks about it, it will be fine.
When the second batch of 1,200 people descended to Helan Yuan, Li Dachui followed them down to Helan Yuan, and then disappeared silently.
Xia Zhi directed more than 3,000 people to move forward carefully in hundreds of miles of swamp, slowly approaching the target, while Fang Mao Mao returned to Tai'an City, and the 300 Tianzi Camp was once again captured. They gathered together and disappeared into the vast snowfield.
