Chapter 231

Beigong Jing just smiled faintly and said, "Everyone stands up and talks."

Pei Wei then took Li Rui to stand up.

Beigong Jing glanced over Pei Wei and fell on Li Rui. She looked him up and down, looking at him with interest, and asked, "Your name is Li Rui?"

Li Rui said: "That's right."

Beigong Jing said: "I have seen everything that happened just now. You are amazing. You actually overwhelmed the Hulu on the riding and shooting, shooting seven Hulu's sharpshooters one after another, and I will be so powerful."

Li Rui made him blush and quickly said, "It's all a trick, and it's not worth mentioning."

Beigong Jing said: "This is not a trick. On the contrary, with this skill of riding and shooting, you will definitely be able to stand out in the future and become a brilliant general. By the way, who is your general? Why have I never heard of your name?"

Li Rui said: "Reported to the Major General, the last general is the head of Zuo Tun under the command of the Captain Zhang Yuanda. He is an unknown young man, so he naturally will not have any reputation."

Beigong Jing frowned and said, "Zhang Yuanda? That's not surprising. That guy has no other skills, he can only brag and is still small-minded. Even if you have great skills, you can only be buried under his command..." After complaining for a few words, he asked Pei Wei: "Whose division are you?"

Pei Wei said: "The last general is Quhou under the command of Su Yu and Su."

Beigong Jing's expression was a little complicated: "I heard from the fleeing soldiers and civilians that Zhang Yuanda and Su Yu's troops have been wiped out. You probably all crawled out of the dead, right?"

Li Rui and Pei Wei remained silent.

Beigong Jing sighed: "Two lieutenants, thousands of people, one survived, one Zuo Tun Chief and the other Quhou..." He smiled bitterly and said: "This is not a place to talk. Zahu may make a comeback at any time. Please follow me up the mountain and enter the village. It will not be too late to talk."

Pei Wei said: "This is what disturbs the Major General!"

At this time, the battle was over. Nearly three hundred Hu people's corpses were lying all over the ground. Liangzhou soldiers cut their heads off and hung them on the horse's neck as spoils. The bodies were piled up, and all weapons, horses, dry food, clothes, etc. were plundered. Even the arrows inserted into the ground were recycled one by one. After the sharp arrows were shot out, they hit hard objects. The arrows would inevitably be damaged, and the arrows would not be used. However, the arrows were not broken. If the arrows were taken back and replaced with a new arrow, it would be another good arrow. Even if the arrows were partially damaged, it would not matter. You can cut them up and reinstall them to make crossbows. The arrows of crossbows do not need that long. These Liangzhou soldiers fought fiercely and cleaned the battlefield even more fiercely. After being swept by them, they were afraid that even the beggars who wanted to pick up the bargain would not want to visit this ghost place again!

It can also be seen that this elite soldier's life is not easy. There may be insufficient supply of various materials, otherwise they would not have to put in such great effort to clean the battlefield and would not even let a broken arrow go.

As for why such an elite soldier who saved Luoyang twice was so distressed...

It’s not that the Western Jin Dynasty was so poor that it could not even provide weapons and equipment for thousands of people. In fact, the Western Jin Dynasty’s armed reserves were very abundant. Sima Yan, a clever prince, was afraid that it would be too difficult for those princes to rebel. Before he died, he ordered that "there is nothing to do in the world, and the prefectures and county soldiers" and gave the prefectures and county troops that played an extremely important role in the defense system of the Western Jin Dynasty. Only one hundred soldiers were left and the small state No. 50. In other words, the entire Western Jin Dynasty, a great country with hundreds of thousands of troops in the past, was truly

The regular army was only left with the 120,000 imperial guards concentrated in Luoyang. The hundreds of thousands of prefectures and counties were withdrawn, but the weapons and equipment would not disappear out of thin air. Some of them were sealed and some were transported to Luoyang. It can be said that the military reserves in Luoyang are very abundant. The Liangzhou Legion is so difficult that it is definitely not that the supply of military funds is not enough, but that the Jin Dynasty has its own national conditions. This kind of army that is extremely powerful but cannot please every major with great power is destined to be punished to death.

However, in the Western Jin Dynasty where the party struggles are fierce, let alone the impulsive generals like Beigong Chun, even the Egg Dance King cannot please every big shot!

So this elite soldier who saved Luoyang twice could only be so poor that he picked up garbage everywhere.

Beigong Jing looked at the dead war horse, smiled and said, "You can eat a meal of meat to satisfy your cravings."

Before he finished speaking, a large number of strong men in cloth clothes rushed over, wielding swords and axes to break down the dead horse's corpse, and unloaded the horse meat in large pieces and carried it into the village. Everyone's face was filled with the joy of harvest. Beigong Jing did not do it himself, but just picked the fattest horse and asked someone to help him unload a horse's leg and send it back. He wanted to add vegetables.

After collecting the spoils, everyone laughed and returned to the military camp with the spoils.

The Liangzhou Army's military camps were built along the mountain, with a total of more than twenty miles, spreading within a radius of twenty miles, shaking the road to cross Xionger Mountain to Luoyang City. These military camps vary in size, with small stations fifty to eighty people and large stations four or five hundred. Each of the military camps has the advantage of the location, and can attack and retreat. This kind of military camp with few troops but dangerous positions, strong camps, abundant supplies, and strong wills of the defenders have always been a nightmare for the attacking party. When encountering such military camps, there is no other way except to fill in their lives.

The first military camp is the Dazhai, with more than 500 people stationed in it and ready to attack at any time. This military camp is located on the edge of a large river with a wooden bridge for crossing the river. There is also a small camp on the other side of the river, digging trenches, fences and deer forts. Obviously, the most important task of this military camp is to protect the water source. Many military camps are on the mountain, and there will be no sufficient water source on the mountain. You must go to the river to fetch water. If there is no military camp to protect the water source, it is very difficult to get water.

In order to protect the civilians who fetched water, the Liangzhou Legion also built a corridor. Although it was made of earth, it was enough to resist strong bows and crossbows. As long as the corridor was not destroyed, even if the camps on the other side of the river were destroyed, the Hu people's arrow rain could not hurt the civilians in the corridor.

Li Rui looked at these fortifications and couldn't help but secretly exclaimed: Liangzhou Army is worthy of being a famous elite in the world, and the extraordinary can be seen from the arrangement of this camp!

As the commander of the first army, Beigong Jing naturally would not set his command on the front line. It was not that he did not have the courage, but that he was not so stupid. Setting the command on the front line and the commander to the front line is different. The commander to the front line can greatly boost morale. Even if he is injured or dead, the commander can still continue to fight. When the commander is located on the front line, the commander and all his staff will be subjected to the fierce attack of the enemy at the first time, and all his attention will be attracted by this local battlefield and cannot take into account the overall situation. This is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing. After crossing the bridge, he deliberately dismounted, encouraged the officers guarding the village to turn over, and picked the most plump horses to keep the opponent. Only then did hundreds of soldiers continue to get on the horse, crossing the camp and heading towards the core of the defense line.

The central army tent is set on the top of the mountain. The village wall is made of logs, and each log is covered with a thick layer of mud and wood. Don’t underestimate this layer of soil. With it, the rockets shot by the enemy can’t burn the wooden wall. On the village wall, the tall Liangzhou soldiers wearing iron armor endured the biting cold wind and stared at the surroundings vigilantly. They were not careless because they were at the core of the defense line, and they were protected by military camps. There were strong crossbows on the village wall, and the crossbow arrows were like a small javelin. The arrowheads reflected a cold light under the snow light, making people feel numb when they looked at it. These strong crossbows pointed to the mountain road... Well, the mountain road was quite wide and could be used for a large group of people to marching, but with so many strong crossbows pointing at it, you would have to pay a considerable price.

The village gate was wide open, and Beigong Jing led everyone into the big village. He called two grooms and pointed at Pei Wei and Li Rui and said, "Take their mounts down and serve them very hard. Don't be cold and hungry, otherwise I will definitely not spare us!"

The groom did not dare to neglect and quickly led the two old men's horses to take care of them.

Beigong Jing handed over his horses and weapons to his confidant, and then said with a smile: "Li Zuotun Chief, Pei Quhou, it's cold now, and the Hu people are everywhere, and the road to Luoyang has been cut off. You might as well stay in my Xionger Village for several days and make plans until the Hu people withdraw."

Pei Wei quickly bowed: "That's what I'm disturbing the Major General!"

Beigong Jing said, "You are welcome. I will ask someone to arrange a residence for you. You will wash up first, and then we will have a good meal."

Pei Wei and Li Rui naturally would not refuse such good things, thanked each other and followed the servant down.

Beigong Jing was very efficient in doing things, so she immediately arranged a residence for them. Each person had a small room, all clothes and bedding, and there was not much space, but it was a special treatment. You should know that ten ordinary soldiers had to go all over the bed!

Li Rui lives next to Pei Wei and enters the room. He feels relieved. He takes off his long knife, dagger, bow and arrow, puts it aside, and then lies straight on the bed, not wanting to move anymore... It's so tiring, even if he uses a 120-pound bow to shoot hundreds of arrows a day, he is not so tired!

He was so tired that he just wanted to lie on the bed, close his eyes, and sleep forever!

And he really did this. He lie on it and covers it with a quilt, closes his eyes, and does not move, like a salted fish that has lost his dream.

However, when you close your eyes, thousands of thoughts surge like a tide. Your parents' sadness, desperate faces, the sea of ​​corpses and blood in the small town, the crazy laughter of the Hu people, the howling rain of arrows... These scenes flashed in his mind like a fast-forward camera, almost drowning him!

Why did I come to this world?

Can I go back?
