The second volume, the surging wind, the second section, the baptism of blood
Kunshan didn't come until the end of Youshi, and he was accompanied by three other elders.
It was already dark at this time, so Father Li lit two giant candles on the table and covered them with special lampshades. The pale yellow candlelight illuminated the surrounding area for more than ten steps.
One is a lean old man in his forties, with a huge cloth ring on his head, slit eyes, a goatee, and a plain expression on his face. He looks like a shrewd man at first glance. He is wearing a gray linen gown. According to Kunshan’s introduction, this man is
It is Cha Shu, an elder of the Miao ethnic group.
The second one is a beautiful young woman in her thirties. She has a sweet smile and is dressed similarly to Ali, but the embroidered patterns are mainly mandarin ducks, which are more colorful than the magpie patterns on Ali's girly clothes.
The white cloth on the flower hat on her head did not hang by her right ear like Ali did, but was pinned behind her head with a safety pin. Luo Yu knew that this was the custom of the Bai people, and women after getting married had to dress like this.
She didn't wait for Kunshan's introduction before she said, "Where does this handsome guy come from? Let Sister Miaoyin take a good look..." The voice was crisp, the Shu accent was gentle, passionate and unrestrained.
Kunshan smiled and said: "Miaoyin, don't scare the distinguished guests. Your eldest daughter is married, the second daughter is still young, and Brother Jun has no share of yours, hahaha..."
After Kunshan finished speaking, everyone laughed except for Cha Shu who was still tensed. Before Miaoyin could reply to Kunshan, the third elder spoke: "Little brother, I am Wugao, the elder of the Yi ethnic group. Do you have a pair of twins at home?"
Sister!"
Luo Yu saw that he was in his thirties, with a long face, short beard, and shining eyes. He was wearing a blue gown, a green patterned cloak, and a horn hat on his head. He had already guessed that he was from the Yi ethnic group.
I am an elder, but I never thought that there are several ethnic groups with different customs living in this small Wangyou Village at the same time.
As soon as he said these words, even Cha Shu, who had been tense all the time, laughed. It seemed that they usually had a good relationship.
Father Li smiled and said: "Stop teasing Mr. Luo, he is already married, but those six young men are not bad, you can fight for them."
Zhang Yang did not accompany Luo in. He stood guard outside the door. When he heard the laughter and laughter coming from inside, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He also heard Father Li talking about them, and he couldn't help but think: "Instructor, you are so important."
Don't agree to them, or you will be annoyed to death in the future..."
Unexpectedly, Luo Yu also smiled and said: "That's true. Let's go to the school tomorrow to have a look. However, I can't be the master of their affairs! Let's leave it to fate."
Everyone laughed again, and Kunshan took over Miaoyin's words, hoping that they would not underestimate Luo Yu. None of the nine of them were simple, not to mention asking for help from others. It would be bad if they offended him.
After this conversation and laughter, the relationship had become much closer unknowingly, and Luo Yu was about to raise the request of the school.
Zhang Yang also laughed after hearing this. What the instructor said was true. You must learn from it.
Luo Yu was still a little surprised as to why these elders talked about the marriage of the girl as soon as they met. Later, after listening to Father Li's explanation, he realized that their ancestors discovered this valley when they were fleeing during the Wuhu chaos.
The clan elders became brothers with different surnames, then built a stronghold here and multiplied and lived until today.
But marriage can only be done between the young people in the village. After more than two hundred years, the bloodlines have become close to close relatives. Many children have developed pathological changes. They are in urgent need of external bloodlines to improve the situation.
So the villagers tried their best to open a road to the outside world among the rocks, hoping to communicate with the outside world, but with little success. As soon as outsiders arrived, they wanted to take it for themselves, so that they often
It attracted bandits, but fortunately it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the village was saved.
If it weren't for Father Li's high moral character, the elders would not agree to Luo Yu and the others staying. But when they heard that these people wanted to help them set up a school and teach the children culture and martial arts, they enthusiastically tried to persuade them to stay. The relationship between them suddenly became clear.
Can't tell clearly.
Li Shimin was somewhat looking forward to this encounter starting soon. Horseshoes have been equipped on every war horse. He also creatively added half-inch long detachable spikes to the front shoes. When worn in battle, they can also effectively fight the enemy.
The army caused casualties.
Two thousand cavalry, six in each row, more than thirty rows, counting the intervals, can just line up from here to the mouth of the valley. I hope Xue Li can hold on, otherwise it will be really difficult to annihilate them all.
There are no archers, and all the troops coming this time are light cavalry. The strategy of wiping out the enemy on the offensive path advocated by Luo Yu is difficult to achieve today. However, it is not in vain to feel the strength of Xue Ju's cavalry if they can fight hard.
Charge and fight.
Li Shimin, who was wearing silver armor and a silver helmet, held a spear in his hand and stood high on the war horse. Behind him were five knights in gray armor in each row, holding spears in the same posture. Behind each war horse was a large sword hunched over.
This is a melee weapon.
The dull sound of horse hoofs echoed in the mountains. When the knights in khaki armor on Xue Ju's side saw a cavalry formation waiting in Qiujia Pass from a distance, they did not turn around immediately, but charged toward Li Shimin's cavalry formation with howls.
.
It was difficult to understand this behavior. Li Shimin turned his head and looked at the deputy general Liu Hongji. Then he raised the spear in his hand, slammed his legs into the horse's belly, and the horse, which had long been unable to hold back, rushed towards the enemy.
The mountain trails are not suitable for cavalry operations, and the formation cannot be set up at all. If the enemy troops had not come, Li Shimin would not have set up the formation like this, and there was no room for him to dodge.
The sound of the charging horses equipped with horseshoes was like thousands of heavy hammers hitting the ground, shaking the ground. Seeing that the enemy did not change their charging formation, Li Shimin raised his gun and made a triangle in the air.
The horses on both sides slowed down to form a triangular charge formation between him and the knights behind him also formed an orderly triangular charge formation. This was what Luo Yu called a wedge formation. The three knights cooperated with each other to exert maximum lethality.
The spear was like a dragon and the blood was like a drop of blood. When Li Shimin was the first to pierce the enemy's throat with his spear, the spears in the hands of the lieutenants on both sides had swept past, and the three knights met each other and their souls returned to the underworld.
The war horse lost control of the knight and rushed to both sides, taking the remaining knights on both sides of the enemy's formation aside. The lieutenant just caught up, and as soon as the spear came out, two more people fell off their horses.
And this was not the worst ending for them. After the continuous trampling by the war horses on both sides, their bodies were really trampled into powder.
When the two lieutenants moved to both sides, the triangle formation behind them had already passed through the gap. They repeated the actions of Li Shimin and the other three, and then moved to both sides to attack the knights next to them.
This triangular formation always used Li Shimin as the arrow, followed by two people. Under the thrust of the spear, blood flowed like a river. As long as the enemy knights touched the spear, they would all fall off their horses and become the souls of the spear.
Some war horses were injured and fell to the ground, with their bellies and blood vessels scratched by the spikes protruding from the horses' hooves. They screamed miserably and tried to stand up and run away. However, the subsequent knights arrived and they had no time to make other movements, and their bodies were scratched by the spikes again...
The rich smell of blood permeated the mountain road, which was nauseating. The wails of the war horses echoed all around. The tragic situation of the same kind made them uneasy and speed up the charge, wanting to leave this uncomfortable place as soon as possible.
The enemy finally collapsed. They looked at Li Shimin, who was like a murderous god descending to earth, with fear on their faces. They wanted to turn their horses around and retreat, but found that it was impossible to do so. Six cavalrymen had pretended to crowd the trail, and there was no way to turn around.
There's space.
And their momentum of charging forward as soon as they saw an enemy was gone. This cavalry was different from the enemies who were scared out of their wits when they charged with a roar. They stabbed the captain with just one encounter.
died.
The killing continued. After Li Shimin's spear got stuck in the ribs of a knight, he had no time to pull it out and was stabbed by a shot. He abandoned the spear, fell back, avoided the head of the spear, pulled out the Mo Dao, and borrowed the opportunity.
With a wave of his horse power, the sneak attack knight was split in two from the abdomen with the sharp Mo Dao, experiencing the torture of being cut in half.
At the same time, a large gash was cut on the neck of his horse, and hot blood poured onto Li Shimin like a fountain, coloring his silver armor again, turning it into maroon.
The knight who was cut in half could still clearly see what was happening in front of him. He couldn't feel the existence of his lower body, but he still felt incontinent. However, fortunately, the war horse collapsed and fell on his head.
After hearing a crisp sound of bone cracking, I fell into darkness forever...
The Mo Dao can kill people more easily than a spear. Bailian steel may be the most suitable material for making battlefield weapons in this era. Coupled with the Mo Dao's complex craftsmanship, nothing can stop the blade from passing through.
Blood sprayed into his eyes. Under the sunlight, Li Shimin waved his Mo Dao and fought hard to kill the enemy. At this time, he was almost losing his mind.
Luo Yu found it hard to believe that the four elders were very talkative and promised to send all children under the age of fifteen to the school to study and practice martial arts. They also stated that they would not interfere with his classes. They would take a bath every seven days from Chen Shi to Shen Shi.
one day.
Two old women were specially sent to the school to help with the cooking. As for the teaching materials, Father Li had plenty of them. If he didn’t have enough, he went out to buy them. In short, all the requirements were met.
Luo Yu thought for a while and understood a little. They should have learned that there was chaos outside and a war was going on, but there would be great chaos after the chaos. They took this time to train their younger generations and prepare for their official duties when the great chaos came.
It has been closed here for more than two hundred years. It is time to go out and explore, otherwise it will harm the children.
Luo Yu understood their reasons for doing this very well. In this era, ethnic minorities can also serve as officials. In the past, filial piety and integrity were promoted. Since Yang Guang opened the subject to obtain scholars, many foreign students have become officials.
Poor parents in the world, Luo Yu could only live up to these poor elders by trying his best to teach them well.
An agreement was reached quickly. Luo Yu handed them the drawings of desks and chairs and agreed to deliver fifty sets in three days. As for the tutorials, Luo Yu needed to worry about them.
There is a small road behind the stockade, and there is a large open space in it. The villagers grow food there, otherwise where will they get food? Sometimes they go hunting outside the valley to improve their lives.
Many of these children were the laborers of the family. Luo Yu was very worried about being called away from classes when the farm was busy. This happened to Luo Yu often when he was in elementary school. The elders swore that such a thing would not happen until they gave up.
The course schedule, work schedule, and holidays all follow the pattern of Luo Yu's time and space. The only difference is that some days of the ethnic minorities are their New Year's Days, and they can be adjusted at that time.
In the end, Father Li made the decision and implemented it as agreed. The four elders were overjoyed and decided to go see the six young men tomorrow to see if they could fight for the girls.
He wanted to talk about something, so he didn't drink. After Kunshan sent the three people away, he asked Luo Yu: "It's not ready yet tonight. Go pick them up and come back to live. It's a cold night in the mountains, and we need to sprinkle insect repellent."
Luo Yu nodded, holding a torch and following Kunshan toward the school. There were some things he had to ask Kunshan.
Li Shimin finally stopped swinging his sword, because there were no enemy troops in front of him. He killed through the enemy formation with an invincible attitude, leaving behind him the remains of broken limbs, meat, internal organs, and white brains...
Xue Li walked over quickly with Mo Dao in hand, and he was also covered in blood.
The screams behind them continued. The two miles had really become a purgatory for the enemy. The sun was getting stronger and stronger, the smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger, and the war horses were trembling and panting. This battle would not hurt anyone.
easy.
Xue Li glanced at Li Shimin, who was like a murderer, and then at the few remaining enemies who were still struggling. He knelt on one knee and said, "General, Xue Li is fortunate to have fulfilled his orders and annihilated all the enemy's fleeing troops.
I came here to pay the order."
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Get up first. How are the casualties, brothers?"
Xue Li said: "Because of preparations, no one was sacrificed. Ten people were seriously injured and seventy-six were lightly injured."
Liu Hongji stabbed the last enemy soldier under his horse, looked around and waved his hand. The last three groups of knights reined in their horses and returned. They were going to check if there were any fish that had slipped through the net. The general said that they would wipe out all this cavalry.
There is no need to count the results of the battle, and it is impossible to count them. The ground is covered with a mixture of minced meat that has been trampled by horses, and there is also blood on the ground...
The casualty statistics of our own side were also quickly released. In groups of three, we would immediately know how many people were missing.
Fortunately, only seventeen people were killed, but as many as three to four hundred people were injured, but most of them were slightly injured and still had the strength to fight.
After carrying out the bodies of seventeen comrades, Li Shimin ordered the entire army to march to the valley. There was a large waterfall there. If the blood was not washed away, it might seep into the skin.
As for the corpses of these enemy soldiers, don't worry about them. With such a strong smell of blood, the wild beasts in the mountains will come and clean them up. The battlefield is like this, and the corpses will not rest in peace.
The blood quickly merged into the tumbling water in front of me, and the red color was invisible. Just like the two thousand enemy cavalry, they disappeared between heaven and earth.
Li Shimin closed his eyes and thought about the battle just now. He had already had a cup of tea under the waterfall.
Xue Li and Liu Hongji looked at Li Shimin worriedly. Although this battle was a great victory, there were lessons to be learned.
Mountainous terrain, narrow official roads, triangular formations, weapon use, etc. must be taken into consideration. These are all experiences gained from actual combat and are very valuable.
What should be done next? The third generation team members sent information. Xue Ming has already begun to storm the east gate. How long can Qinzhou hold on under attack from two sides?
No one knows what Li Shimin and his two thousand men should do to resolve the crisis in Qinzhou? All of this falls on his shoulders.
Li Shimin's clothes under the waterfall have returned to their original color, and no trace of blood can be seen, but where is his heart?
