Zhang Xiaowu asked again if he had informed the captain about the matter. Xiao Kai said that he had already reported it and Su Yu should come to the camp in the next few days.
Hu Sanwan said again: "Sir, my subordinates heard something that a decisive battle ahead is imminent, and these prisoners of war will be escorted back to Longdu to hold a prisoner dedication ceremony."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Is the news accurate?"
Hu Sanwan said: "I also heard from the remnant soldiers who retreated from the front line. They said that the Jialan River gradually receded and the Quanyi war horses were able to cross the river. After the Quanyi captured Tucheng, they themselves became chaotic, and the Mohe people occupied the Tartar people.
Tucheng, in order to express his gratitude, Mohe sent 10,000 black arrow soldiers to fight. This decisive battle is inevitable."
Xiao Kai smiled and said: "Both sides suffered tens of thousands of casualties. It has been inevitable for a long time, so why talk about it? It's just that these 10,000 Black Arrows are indeed...a threat."
"Are the Black Arrows of Mohe very powerful?" Zhang Xiaowu asked. He had heard of the Black Arrows when he was in Tucheng, but he had never fought against the Black Arrows. Xiao Kai used to be an archer, so he should be a match for the Black Arrows.
To learn more, he looked at Xiao Kai.
Xiao Kai reminisced: "The Black Arrows are not only powerful, they have excellent shooting skills, and the range of their bows is far beyond that of any other country's archers. If you encounter the Black Arrows in the forest, it is best to stay as far away from them as possible."
Some. It’s just that on the plains, the Black Arrows are not of much use. As long as they ride horses to rush into the Black Arrows’ arrow array, they can only shoot three rounds at most before being trampled to death by the cavalry.”
Zhang Xiaowu frowned and said, "Are you talking about launching a desperate charge against the Black Arrows?"
Xiao Kaidao: "Yes, this has always been the only way to deal with Mohe's black arrows. The Dragon Guard stationed at Longmen Pass has a heavy cavalry called Tie Tuozi who are fully armored. Although the number of Tie Tuozi is only a thousand, they swept across the pass.
, if the Black Arrow soldiers go down the mountain and encounter Tie Tuozi, there is no chance of survival, they can only turn around and run away."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "The characteristic of this black arrow warrior is strong attack and weak defense, isn't it?"
This was the first time Xiao Kai heard such words and he laughed: "Yes, attack the strong and defend the weak. But the Mohe people are tall, strong and simple-minded, and they are bloodthirsty after being injured. Even without bows and arrows, they are still a group of cannibalistic barbarians."
people."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "So, when we encounter the Black Arrows in the future, we can only hit him, but we cannot let him hit us."
Xiao Kai smiled and said: "This... I don't know. I have never met the Black Arrows, nor have I ever fought against them."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "If the Black Arrows attack the city, they should be able to use their greatest advantage."
Xiao Kai scratched his head and said: "The arrows of the Black Archers are not easy to make. It is said that they use ironwood from the far north. If the arrows are lost during the siege, they are not much different from other archers. After all, the arrow formations shoot at each other.
, archery skills are not important, but the number of arrows is important."
Zhang Xiaowu stopped talking about the Black Arrows. Wang Yijin brought the porridge and meat sauce. Zhang Xiaowu just realized that he was hungry, so he ate the meat sauce and drank several bowls of porridge. After eating, Zhang Xiaowu said:
"This meat sauce doesn't taste very good, what kind of meat is it?"
"Wolf meat." Wang Yijin chuckled, "Nineteen wolves, enough meat for everyone to eat for several days."
"Grandma's, it turns out I hunted it." Zhang Xiaowu laughed, "I have to charge you for eating my meat, but you didn't get my consent."
Xiao Kai shook his head and said: "Sir, you can't say that. We asked you before and you agreed."
Zhang Xiaowu said angrily: "Fart, I'm unconscious, how could I agree?"
Xiao Kaidao: "You have acquiesced."
"Yes, you acquiesced." Hu Sanwan added, and everyone burst into laughter. Zhang Xiaowu also laughed, and his mood improved a lot.
As the saying goes, men still like to play with men if it is not for the things between men and women. Sure enough, with the company of his brothers, Zhang Xiaowu's recovery was much faster. After a day's rest, Zhang Xiaowu was alive and kicking again. When he again
When he appeared in front of the prisoners of war, all the prisoners of war knelt on the ground and did not dare to look into his eyes.
"Am I so scary?" Zhang Xiaowu was puzzled. He asked someone to get a mirror, hid in the room, looked around, and sighed: "He's quite handsome, not that scary. This fool has a bad mind, but a good body."
, good appearance." He suddenly thought of one thing, if he had a child, would it belong to him or to the fool?
"Probably, it should be mine, right?" Zhang Xiaowu thought anxiously, pulling his hair.
Eighteen people died in the epidemic village at one time, which naturally made Su Yu unable to sit still. In the past, people in the epidemic village only died one or two in a few days. This time, eighteen people died at one time, and three others were killed.
There were only bones left in the meal, and Su Yu said angrily: "The prisoners of war will be sent back in a few days, how can he guard them? It's just nonsense, it's nonsense!"
Guan Xiang reminded: "If eighteen people die, there will be less food rations for eighteen people, which can save some food money."
Su Yu glared at him: "The money saved is not mine."
"Then Zhang Xiaowu encountered a pack of wolves in pursuit of a fugitive."
"Ah? Is he dead?" Su Yu said happily.
Guan Xiang said: "No, not only did he not die, he also killed the wolves, nineteen wolves, including a white wolf."
Su Yu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "White wolves are rare, so the wolf skin must be expensive - no, Zhang Shichang is so brave, you and I must go and visit him. Is he injured?"
"It is said that he is in a coma."
"Then I'd rather go visit."
The two of them couldn't wait to arrive at the epidemic village. From a distance, they saw nineteen grass wolf skins hanging at the gate of the epidemic village. Although they seemed to be sewn together, the nineteen wolf skins looked scary.
Su Yu was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time, and said with emotion that there is really someone who can kill nineteen grass wolves alone. The two people stepped forward to watch carefully, and the soldiers rushed to report. Su Yu asked someone to put down the wolf skin, and held it in his arms.
The white wolf's skin clicked and stood, while Guan Xiang touched the knife edge on the wolf's skin and clicked his tongue, exclaiming that this was the power of the gods, which ordinary people could not reach.
Zhang Xiaowu came out, saluted and said, "I've met Mr. Colonel and Mr. Secretary."
Su Yu was stunned, and then glared at Guan Xiang. Is this what you call coma? Guan Xiang said in surprise: "Zhang Shichang, are you okay? Where are the injuries?"
Zhang Xiaowu patted his chest and said: "No injuries, just some grass wolves." Then he said: "Two adults, now that it is noon time, how about we invite you to have a wolf-killing feast together?"
"Wolf-killing feast?"
"Yes, grass wolf meat."
Su Yu and Guan Xiang thought that wolf meat should be delicious, but it tasted different. It always had an earthy smell, but fortunately there was wine, meat, and a pot of wolf whip and wolf eggs. Zhang Xiaowu
He laughed and said that he should not eat this food easily, otherwise he would not be able to see women in the middle of the night, and his eyes would glow green. Even when he saw a sow, he would have big, double eyelids and cute, watery eyes.
Everyone laughed. Su Yu didn't believe in evil and took a bite of wolf whip. It tasted obviously good, but he also knew that this thing was very tonic, so he hesitated. Guan Xiang said that this thing is at least five taels of silver a piece. The more you eat today.
, the more you earn. Su Yu's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and he ate several wolf whips one after another. After Guan Xiang took a few bites, he found it difficult to swallow. Fortunately, the broth was good, and the noodles tasted delicious when soaked in them.
.
The food in the epidemic village was actually better than that in the prison camp. The more they ate, the more depressed they became.
