It was already noon as the last special forces team member set up the trap and returned safely. Luo Yu's side was ready. Zhang Yang and Lu Xiao knew that Luo Yu wanted to take charge of the overall situation, so they volunteered to carry the stretcher.
Luo Yu had no choice but to teach them the method, and asked them to pay special attention not to be too bumpy, otherwise it would aggravate General Li's injuries. When he was tired, he should be replaced by someone else to carry him, and not to show off.
Yang Man was originally one of the first people to go up the mountain, but with Qiu'er leading the team, she stayed and took care of Li Xiuning who was lying on the stretcher for Luo Yu.
She was a little envious of Li Xiuning. If she was injured, would Luo Yu be so anxious? When they met outside Kaifeng City in a hurry, she thought they would never see each other again in this life.
It wasn't until she was at the end of her rope that she remembered Luo Yu, whom she had only met once, and Luo Yu appeared in front of her as promised, and she realized that there was a shadow of Luo Yu in her heart.
The common people lifted up the severely injured female soldiers who had been fixed and left their homes. The special forces team members followed them, and the young men in disguise were all distributed among the common people, helping to carry the stretchers and carry things.
Weizeguan is located at the throat of Taihang Mountain, with Hebei to the east and one hundred and sixty miles away from Changshan. This is why Li Xiu came from here to rescue Changshan.
The pass is not big, but the terrain is very dangerous. It is surrounded by high mountains and cliffs, with hundreds of miles of ravines around it. On both sides is the Great Wall, the crystallization of the sweat of the working people of the Chinese nation.
If the northern nomads want to march south from here, they must conquer Weize Pass before they can march straight in. It has been a battleground for military strategists since the Warring States Period.
I don’t know what happened this time. The Tunisian-Mongolian coalition did not go south from here. Instead, they climbed over the empty Great Wall defense line and attacked Mengxian and Yangquan. They used this as a forward base to raise troops and go south.
If Changshan was also breached, Weize Pass would become a useless place. If there was no civil strife in the Sui Dynasty, they would not dare to risk their troops. First of all, the full Great Wall defenders would be an insurmountable chasm for them. The cavalry has never been able to overcome it.
Neither is an option for siege.
Luo Yu and Yang Man followed the team all the way up. As Mr. Xu said, this section of the road is indeed difficult to walk. Fortunately, there are troops stationed at the gate, and military supplies are usually sent up.
The road is still clearly visible, but in some places it is almost perpendicular to the ground, and I don't know how the stretcher-bearers got up there.
In order to prevent the enemy from escaping and chasing after him, Luo Yu took matters into his own hands and set up dozens of deadly traps and other obstructions. Yang Man was also busy preparing various things for Luo Yu.
She found that there was nothing on this mountain that Luo Yu could not use, from a stone as small as an egg to a towering tree. He could always figure out how to set up traps in unexpected places, and trigger things.
It’s even more bizarre.
Anyway, you will inadvertently step on a fatal device, which will trigger a series of mechanisms, making it difficult for the pursuers to guard against it.
Luo Yu showed all of this in front of her without any concealment, without explanation or obstruction. He let her read it over and over again, as if to say: "You can learn as much as you can, and I won't do it a second time."
When Yang Man came to the stone road in front of the pass, he came to his senses. The sun was setting in the west. Luo Yu had called two special forces members to go down the mountain to guard the vertical ladder, and told them the traps one by one, asking them to be careful.
point.
Yang Man didn't understand why he didn't let them stay just now, but when they were about to go up to the pass, he asked them to go back to the mountainside to guard the ladder.
Luo Yu seemed to understand her doubts and said: "The reason why I asked them to come up and then go back is to make them familiar with the road, so that they can use the characteristics of the road to stop the enemy and at the same time make it easier for them to escape."
Yang Man said in astonishment: "On the battlefield, the first thing you think about is escaping. What kind of training method are you using?"
Luo Yu looked at the busy villagers and said: "What they mean by escaping is to retreat if they can't stop the enemy from advancing after using all their strength, and the soldiers must die well..."
He didn't tell Yang Man how much time and energy it took to train these special forces. Using them as cannon fodder was not Luo Yu's style.
After saying that, regardless of whether Yang Manli understood or not, he turned around and entered the city gate with the three characters Wei Zeguan written on it. Li Xiuning was still inside, and it was time to cook the medicine.
It was a little strange that he didn't see any Sui troops stationed here. Apart from the Detachment of Women and the common people, he didn't see a single official or soldier in Guancheng.
Could it be that he ran away after hearing that Yangquan was lost? Maybe, since the city of Yangquan was breached, there would be no way to transport food and grass to the south, and if he didn't run, he would have to wait for death.
However, they still had some conscience and found a lot of food in a basement that they had not taken away. In addition to millet, wheat and some slightly rusty machetes.
This solved the urgent need. The food that everyone brought was not much, and the sick and wounded needed to be nourished to recover faster, so the food they carried for three days could only be used for two days.
Don't worry about the water. There is a waterfall with a large flow of water two hundred feet down from here. It should be formed by the water from the surrounding mountain peaks. The terrain here is low, so it flows over to form a waterfall.
Li Shizhen was busy helping to treat the injuries of the Detachment of Women. His face was full of heartache. These girls were all about sixteen or seventeen years old, about the same age as his daughter. They were so seriously injured that the father and the doctor were both responsible for it.
His identity made him very sad.
Luo Yu couldn't help, so he called Zhang Yang: "Send two team members to General Luo Yi in Changshan to explain the situation of our army. Rescue is difficult, and ask him if he can abandon Changshan and move towards Jingxing and Long, so as to block the enemy with favorable terrain.
military."
Yang Man heard Luo Yu's words as soon as he arrived, and said hurriedly: "If we abandon Changshan, we will have a flat river to the south. The enemy's cavalry will march straight in. This method will not work."
Luo Yu said: "Your Highness, Luo Yi's defense of Changshan has no strategic significance anymore. I don't know what's going on at the Cangzhou and Hengshui front lines, but Dou Jiande has established a foothold in southern Hebei. If the enemy wants to go south, he must pass through his pass and sit on the mountain to watch the tigers fight.
Isn’t it better than sticking to Changshan?”
Yang Man was stunned for a moment. Yes, Dou Jiande was ambitious. Wouldn't it be better for him to fight to the death with the Tu-Mongolian coalition? It would not only reduce the strength of both sides, but also preserve Luo Yi, a soldier who was still loyal to the Sui Dynasty for the time being. Why?
Are you happy?
After thinking about this, Luo Yu stopped talking. He said to Yang Man again: "The reason why we want them to come to Jingxing is to add a right-wing defense line to our army to facilitate the contact between the two armies. This is the meaning. The general is unconscious, so this matter is still
I have to ask Her Majesty the Princess to fix a letter so that they can take it as proof."
Yang Man nodded and started writing a letter. She carried her seal with her and just closed it after she finished writing. Luo Yi knew her, so he naturally recognized her seal.
Luo Yu continued to instruct Gong Yang: "Send another team member who is known to Duke Tang to bring two or three disciples of the Disguise lineage and disguise themselves as foreign traders to report the news to Duke Tang in Taiyuan. There is no need to write a letter. Just in case, take the
Just take one of the general's belongings and go there."
Zhang Yang said: "How do you respond to Mr. Tang?"
Luo Yu said: "Just ask them to tell the truth to the Duke of Tang. He will have a problem with it." He originally wanted to ask Li Yuan to send troops east out of Yangquan to cut off the retreat of the Tu-Mongolian coalition, but when he thought that Shuozhou was still fighting, Li Yuan
There weren't that many troops that could be mobilized, so I gave up the idea.
Zhang Yang took the order and left.
Yang Man has also written a letter. She wants to show it to Luo Yu. Luo Yu waved his hand and said no. The letter is sent now and a reply will be received as soon as tomorrow evening. As long as Luo Yi evacuates to Jingxing, there will be a reply.
Room for change.
Qiu'er took care of Li Xiuning even though she was injured. Luo Yu asked her to take a rest, but Qiu'er refused. She was not persuaded to go back until Yang Man came over. She was probably worried that it would be inconvenient for Luo Yu, a grown man, to take care of a young lady.
Luo Yu couldn't laugh or cry. What was this little girl thinking about all day? Li Xiuning's injury could not be healed in a day or two. Suddenly he remembered that his recovery ability after injury was much faster than that of ordinary people. Is the blood at work? If
Yes, can feeding some blood to Li Xiuning help her recover as quickly as possible?
Thinking of this, he cut his finger with a knife and put the bleeding finger directly to Li Xiuning's lips under Yang Man's shocked eyes, letting her inhale the blood.
Li Xiuning seemed to be sucking unconsciously, and the blood flowed down her mouth into her throat and then into her abdomen. She felt hot all over her body, and she swallowed it regardless of what she was inhaling.
Yang Man was about to come over and stop him, but found that Li Xiuning was swallowing more and more quickly. This was not something a person with a serious abdominal injury could do. After being stunned for a moment, he stopped stopping Luo Yu.
Luo Yu made a small cut, but when he saw the effect, he took out his finger, made another large cut with a knife, and fed Li Xiuning's blood again.
This time, he didn't stop until Li Xiuning stopped inhaling. Half the tea time had passed. Luo Yu retracted his hand, wiped the blood on Li Xiuning's lips, and gave her a cup of hot water to dilute the smell of blood in her mouth.
Luo Yu retracted his fingers, and Yang Man hurriedly came over to bandage him. She didn't know why Luo Yu wanted to feed Li Xiuning blood, but she saw that Li Xiuning seemed to be mostly healed. His pale face had turned red, and his breathing had become much longer, and he was sleeping quietly.
passed.
You must know that she was frowning in pain just now and couldn't sleep at all. If she hadn't been unconscious, she would definitely be in a lot more pain.
She looked at Luo Yu like a monster. She was confused and didn't dare to ask, so she had to carefully bandage Luo Yu's wound.
Luo Yu said: "I don't know what's going on. I recovered quickly after being injured several times, so I wanted to try to see if my blood has some kind of function. Now, it should be right. Princess, please
Help keep the secret."
But I was thinking in my heart: "Is my blood really mutated? Is it because I ate the blue-blooded fish or am I not from this time and space? Or some other reason?" I couldn't figure it out, and there were no testing tools here.
Yang Man said: "Don't worry, I pretend I didn't see anything, but you have to promise me not to call me princess in the future. You can call me by my first name or Man'er."
Luo Yu said: "Since the princess has this request, I agree, but this seems a bit against the rules..."
Yang Man said coquettishly: "You call her princess..."
Luo Yu was speechless. Looking at her, she seemed to be interested in him. This was not good. He promised Li Xiuning that he would only love her in his life, but he couldn't break his promise. Just when he was about to explain to Yang Man, Li Shizhen came over.
Yang Man put away her shyness and invited Li Shizhen in, then turned around and picked up the wooden basin to fetch water.
Luo Yu saluted and said, "Mr. Li, thank you for your work!"
Li Shizhen returned the courtesy and said: "Brother, there is no need to be polite. Doctors don't pay attention to their work. They only want to treat illnesses and save people. I'll first see how this girl is recovering from her injuries."
After saying that, he sat on the stool next to the bed, glanced at Li Xiuning and said "Huh", as if he didn't believe that the injury had almost recovered in such a short period of time, and hurriedly checked Li Xiuning's pulse, with a look of shock on his face.
It took a long time before Li Shizhen put down Li Xiuning's hand, stood up and came to the tea table, took the tea handed over by Luo Yu, took a sip and said, "I dare to ask, brother, if the girl was fed precious animal blood or something like that?"
Potion?”
Luo Yu really admired these famous figures in history. None of them could easily carry out treatment without checking their pulse. Now, after checking their pulse, they can even feel out whatever they are feeding. It's amazing.
Then he said: "I dare not lie to you sir. Before I made a stick of incense, I was indeed fed half a bowl of thousand-year-old python blood left by my elders. It was not that I did not follow your doctor's orders, but this snake blood seemed to have spirituality and was always shaking in my arms."
, after taking it out, she woke up for a while and said she wanted to drink the snake blood..."
Luo Yu couldn't make up any more, so Li Shizhen said seriously: "Brother, I would like to warn you, if there is one bloodthirsty, there will be two. If you go past three, you may become addicted. The girl is no longer in serious trouble, so you can take care of yourself..."
After sighing, he walked out.
Luo Yu knew what he meant, but why would he feed Li Xiuning blood when he had nothing to do? You, the old man, must be too worried, but now you want Li Shizhen to join the army, but I'm afraid it won't be possible.
Well, his medical skills belong to the people, and treating diseases for the public is his destiny. As for the "Compendium of Materia Medica", Luo Yu did not want to write it so early.
Yang Man brought a basin of water over, wiped Li Xiuning's face and hands, and then said to Luo Yu: "Brother Yu, please go out and ask Qiu'er to bring a set of clothes. I have to change clothes for the general."
Luo Yu had no choice but to leave first to see how the other women's soldiers were injured.
As soon as he left the door, Zhang Yang walked quickly, saluted in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Instructor, two team members reported that the pursuers had reached the vertical ladder halfway up the mountain, where they camped for food and did not go any further.
The trends on.”
Luo Yu thought for a while and said: "Take someone to check if there are any other ways to go up the mountain, especially small roads. Don't let others copy the way up and you don't know!"
Zhang Yang said: "The students here have already checked it out. Apart from coming from the Fenghuo Tower on the left and right sides, where the students have arranged four groups of light and dark sentries, there is no other way to get up, unless they have wings.
If the team members want to come up, they have to take the ladder."
Hearing Zhang Yang say this, I feel relieved. The garrison in front of the ladder should be a delaying tactic. The stone ladder is almost vertical to the ground. There are more than 300 carved stone steps. If you want to attack it, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky. Bows and arrows are useless.
By building a small building to block arrows, a small number of people can easily defend that place. It is a place where one man can guard the gate and ten thousand men cannot break it.
Suddenly he remembered that he still wanted to find Qiu'er, so he said to Zhang Yang: "You are solely responsible for safety matters. In case of emergency, there is no need to ask for instructions."
After a pause, he then said: "Arrange personnel for shifts at the beacon tower and the ladder. If there are not enough people, ask the women's soldiers to cover for an hour or two. Explain clearly the precautions to them. Remember, don't be careless!"
Zhang Yang accepted the order and made arrangements on his own.
After finding Qiu'er who was changing dressings and asking her to bring clothes to Li Xiuning, he stopped caring about the back house. After this busy schedule, it was already the end of Youshi and it was time to cook. He called Lu Xiao and asked him to arrange for someone to go back home.
The kitchen prepares meals. Wounded soldiers need nutrition to recover faster.
Would it be possible to recover faster if you add some of your own blood to your meals? Luo Yu was startled by this idea. Mr. Li Shizhen was right. It’s not that blood drinkers are addicted now, but he, the blood giver, is addicted. This
Not a good sign.
I am reminded of a famous saying from later generations: "If you hold a hammer in your hand, then everything looks like a nail to you, and you can't help but want to hammer the nail off!"
This makes perfect sense. Just like today's Luo Yu, blood is sufficient for everything. As long as he sees the wounded, he wants to use his own blood to solve the problem. With so many wounded, how much blood can be fed to them?
Ever since I traveled here, I have never discovered any superpowers. It is really different from the time travel novels I read in later generations. Sometimes I wonder if there are some abilities that I have not discovered.
From today's perspective, it seems that people's blood is a little different from that of people in this time and space, and I don't know whether this benefit comes with them or is brought by eating the blue-blooded fish. I am really speechless.
Besides, the people who were rescued outside Xiyang City would have been dead without the arrival of the Detachment of Women. Foreigners will never be soft-hearted when they kill Han people.
After the young and strong men hid the old, weak, women and children, they returned to rescue the Detachment of Women. Although they knew that their trip would be unlucky, they did not hesitate. After a killing, the young and strong men who came back from the enemy's pursuit were already alive and well.
They did not regret it, because they saw that many people of the Detachment of Women had escaped, and the general who was the first to rush out also escaped. When she was dying, she even asked us to retreat south and have someone to help them.
These are the heroines. Judging from the direction of their breakout, they should be heading towards Weize Pass. They hope that the dangerous terrain there can help them repel the foreign pursuers and defend Weize Pass.
No, that should be called Niangzi Pass. In order to repel the aliens and save the people, a group of fancy girls sacrificed themselves without hesitation and fought against the alien cavalry several times stronger than them. Isn't this worthy of eternal memory by the Han people?
In Changzhi City, a storyteller told this story in calm words. People in the teahouse had tears in their eyes. Some people even wanted to go north for rescue immediately, but they were stopped. This was half a month ago. Now
I am afraid……
From then on, people in Changzhi City no longer called Weize Pass, but changed it to Niangzi Pass, which not only means that the Detachment of Women became a great pass, but also commemorates the Detachment of Women, which is very appropriate.
After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, in the 10th year of Zhenguan, Taizong Li Shimin passed by Niangzi Pass and missed his sister and Luo Yu. So he followed the common people's call and inscribed the words "Niangzi Pass" on it in front of the city, which was worthy of his sister Li Xiuning's ten feet.
Granite statue as a memorial.
The lady closed the door. Just as Luo Yu was eating millet porridge and thinking about how to break out of the encirclement, Zhang Yang came to report that the pursuers at the ladder wanted to attack at night and were already preparing for mountain climbing. Before they could arrange it, the beacon tower on the back mountain also came to report.
, it is said that a small number of enemy troops have reached the vicinity of Fenghuo Tower and are preparing to attack.
Exactly:
We urge the people to share adversities and stay together in life and death.
Famous doctors give good advice, but they also hope that the enemy will cause chaos.
