April 71, the battlefield is windy and rainy day and night (7)
There is a truth that warriors just want to go to the battlefield.
The source of this sentence is hard to verify. It was originally a plain sentence spoken by an unknown instructor. However, this plain sentence is too plain, depriving all logical arguments and giving directly conclusions. Such a perfect brainwashing word is naturally written on the wall, printed on paper, hung in dormitories, canteens, playgrounds and other places that can be seen.
If the various opera troupes invited by the General Training Department do not sing this sentence dozens of times with their unique singing style, their performance will be incomplete.
Therefore, the soldiers of Hedu Village did not think about whether this battle should be fought or whether they could not be fought, because this principle is not to be discussed.
Chang Zhifan didn't think that many soldiers would die if he fought to the death, and how many lives would turn into smoke and dust... That was the business of the literati. As an officer who fought, his life and death had long been left behind, and the casualties of the troops were just numbers. Those who could not do this could only give him the four words "be kind and not command the soldiers" to study and take the top scorer.
The guards of Hedu Village did not retreat, either because someone did not allow them to retreat, or if they did not have the conditions to retreat. The former was impossible because he did not give Lu Qiaochu the command. The latter was very likely. Most of the time, the fleet happened to go to the west bank to deliver food and had not returned yet.
Since the guards failed to retreat, with Chang Zhifan's understanding of Lu Qiaochuchu, this instructor who "loves soldiers as much as his son" will definitely not leave alone.
His concerns were quickly confirmed.
Wang Zhong sent a message: There was no fleet in Heduzhai, but he found that the fleet was unloading food on the west bank.
Zhao Wei walked to Chang Zhifan and whispered: "Mr. Qian, why don't you send a bureau to reinforce?"
"A game... hasn't it become a waste of fuel?" Chang Zhifan shook his head: "It's useless."
"Then the coach Lu..."
"The general will inevitably die immediately... There are not so many comprehensive things on the battlefield." Chang Zhifan said in a powerful way, but he regretted his inadequate concerns. He sent Lu Qiaochu to Hedu Village, and could only hope that his capable subordinates could use brute force to subdue Lu Qiaochuchu and then send her across the river.
——Alas, women shouldn’t have mixed up on the battlefield.
Chang Zhifan sighed in his heart.
...
"Rareless! How did you break in! Go out quickly!" The Mei family's wife shouted in horror and shouted loudly.
"Mr. Xu Bai, are you in trouble?" Lu Qiaochu reached out to block the furiousness of the Mei family's wife and looked at Xu Cheng, the president who broke into the tent calmly. She came in to change clothes. She had just taken off her fat jacket and robe. At this moment, she was standing in front of a man in a shirt. If she had been at home two years ago, she would have been so embarrassed that she would have died of shame and anger.
However, on the battlefield, so many blood-stained soldiers were shaking in front of their eyes, what was the case with the middle clothes?
"Teacher, you must not leave now." Xu Cheng bowed his fists. He had been waiting for the opportunity to bring down Lu Qiaochuchu, and then took her to the last ferry with his confidant under the pretext of being sick. However, Lu Qiaochuchu has been moving in front of the formation, making it difficult for him to do it. Finally, when Lu Qiaochuchu said he wanted to "change clothes". He found this opportunity.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Xu Cheng deliberately slowed down and broke into the tent, but he did not expect that Lu Qiaochu was really changing clothes rather than "changing clothes".
But don’t care about these details, the focus is on completing the explanation of Mr. Qian.
Xu Cheng took two steps forward, but was unable to take action for a while.
I have always been afraid that I can't kill anyone, but now I am afraid that I will beat you too hard...
Xu Cheng raised his hand. As soon as hesitated, he suddenly flashed in front of him. He heard his clothes breaking out of the air. A force that seemed soft and hard suddenly came from his arms... Before he could understand, his feet became soft and he was already lying on the ground with a bang.
Xu Cheng shook his head incredibly, and the tip of the long knife had gently pressed against his throat.
"Are you going to knock me out and send me away?" Lu Qiaochu asked in a deep voice.
Xu Cheng turned his face away in pain, as if he had agreed. He still didn't know why he fell to the ground. The moment of lightning flashed only left a blank in his mind, which seemed like he was being taken into evil!
——"Minister has been studying and practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has been riding horses and shooting archery. He usually weighs fifty or sixty pounds, and even a man with three or two may not be able to get close to him. Don't say that he is a coach, even if he is a captain of the flag, he is confident that he can be competent!"
As it turns out, Lu Qiaochu did not brag in front of the crown prince. He was also a little modest.
Lu Qiaochu put away the knife and said nothing. He calmly took the women's clothing from the frightened eyes of the Mei family's daughter-in-law and put it on. The clothes were borrowed from the Mei family's daughter-in-law. It was a bit wide for her, and she could also use a strap to restrain her waist, so she could only use leggings to make do with her wrists.
"Isn't it too simple?" Lu Qiaochu looked down at the effect. Although he could tell the difference between women's clothing, the clothes of the servants were always brown and gray, and it was difficult to achieve a dazzling effect.
When the Mei family's wife was so unspeakable, Lu Qiaochu had already walked to the door and pulled off a red flag, tied it up casually, and turned it into a big red cloak.
A grey world immediately jumped out of a bright red.
Lu Qiaochu took the knife again and turned to Xu Cheng, who was still stupid on the ground, said: "President Bai, do you dare to go into battle?"
Xu Cheng turned over and ran out, covered his face and threw himself into the killing formation ahead.
The Tartars' offensive became increasingly fast, and the village gate fell several times and took it back to death. The casualties of the two armies were basically the same, with more than 30 casualties. For the Ming army, this was already more than 30% of the war losses, which was the time to test the morale of the army. For the Tartars, although it was only less than 10% of the losses, they were also a little scared.
Xu Cheng's turtledove feet rang twice, and two Tartars fell down one after another, forcing the Tartars to retreat a little more. The horse bow was not as powerful as the archer, and their retreat would have a smaller impact on the Ming army's rattan players.
The Donglu soldiers who were rushing to the front were exhausted. Seeing that the Ming army's formation was stable, they had to retreat and rest and plan to come again.
"The wounded rest!" Xu Cheng shouted loudly.
"Soldiers!" A female voice suppressed Xu Cheng's tail sound, and everyone stopped what was in their hands. Even the wounded forgot about "shenyin", and the entire camp suddenly became quiet.
"Since ancient times, the Han and the thieves are not in harmony, this is the way of heaven and earth! Today, we are holding our persistence and fighting the enemy bravely, which is to act on behalf of the heavens! Not to mention that Huang Ming is very kind to me, but with a conscience, would he dare to teach these Hu horses to take a step further?!" Lu Qiaochu stood on the grain bag, held up his long sword, and said passionately: "Although I am a woman, I do not want to share this heaven with the thieves! I, Lu Qiaochu, swear here: I live in this village, and I live in this village! If the Tartars step into this village, I will commit suicide by hanging a knife, and there is no reason to survive!"
The soldiers had known that the instructor was a woman, but this was the first time they saw the instructor wearing women's clothes. In the past, they saw Lu Xun's clothes meticulously dressed in military uniforms, and only thought she was a tomboy. Who knew that when she saw the tomboy's true appearance today, she changed into women's clothes.
Under this double stimulation, morale really boosted.
Xu Cheng saw that the military morale was available and shouted loudly: "Let the array! Kill out!"
"Baima," Lu Qiaochu jumped out of the pile of grain bags, "The soldiers lined up the mandarin duck formation and could not resist the cavalry. How about you and I lead a square formation?"
Xu Cheng was hesitating, and the military judge on the side had already stood up and said in a cold and ruthless tone: "General Bai, the Ministry of Justice is willing to follow Lu Xun to form a square array to kill the enemy!"
"I'm willing to enter the square formation to kill the enemy!" All the auxiliary soldiers of all colors stood up.
"We are still fighting, please let the Hundred Generals join the square formation!" The wounded soldiers stood up one after another, and there were quite a few who could not even walk, and were pulled down by the medical soldiers.
"Range the array! Kill the enemy!" Xu Chengchang Knife pointed and compared the gesture of the square array layout.
The daily training of civilian officers such as military judges and staff officers has never stopped, and the auxiliary soldiers are even more active every day. Although the combat effectiveness is insufficient, there is no problem in forming a square formation. Hedu Village is also a ferry for military rations and military funds to transport them. There are naturally many long swords and spears stored.
At this time, each person divided the number of people, took a long spear and formed two small square formations of thirty people. Just like the style of a war, the former holds a gun, and the latter holds a gun, clamping the mandarin duck killer into the formation.
When the Donglu attacked the city, they had three or five waves, but they did not expect that the Ming army would attack in an array. They were like suspicious mountain dogs and coyotes, retreating dozens of steps, not daring to dismount and catch the enemy, but just watching the changes.
Lu Qiaochu walked in the front row of the square formation with a long spear in his hand, and suddenly remembered the water light of Jiangnan. At that time, he was just a slap in his rank, riding bamboo horses and making green plums with his brothers in the clan. The scenery in his memories changed quickly, and it appeared that he was in the year of cardamom, serving his uncle and father to drink and sing.
——War to the south of the city, die in Guo Bei, and die in the wild and do not bury the blacks and can be eaten...
At that time, my uncle sang "War to the South of the City" in Yuefu.
"War to the south of the city, die in Guobei, and die in the wild and do not bury the blacks and can be eaten!" Without drum beats, Lu Qiaochu stepped on rustling steps and couldn't help singing loudly.
"If you die in a wild place, you can eat it!" Xu Cheng had never read "Han Yuefu", but he had a personal experience of this tragic bold statement. He followed Lu Qiaochu's tone and responded loudly.
If a real man dies on the battlefield, why do you need to wear a corpse? Let these crows eat it!
"Fight south of the city!" "Die Guo Bei!"
"I will never be buried when I die in the wild!" "Wu Kehe!"
The two square formations were sing together in turn, and everyone held the heart of dying and stepped forward fearlessly.
The Tartar cavalry could not understand the meaning of the song, but could feel the determination to die without regrets and be loyal to the death.
This is a vow that never ends!
"Formation~Stop! Raise~gun! Go~gun!" Xu Cheng shouted.
The black hole musket pointed at the Donglu cavalry dozens of steps away, waiting for them to rush into the armor-breaking range.
Someone among the Tartars moved, and then saw that his companions did not follow, so he had to pull the horse and slowly retreated. Finally, the enemy who commanded this team would not be able to withstand such pressure. Finally, he let out a long roar, turned the dock, galloped towards the southeast.
The Ming army in front looked at the Tartars running away, motionless, as if they were copper sculptures.
The Tartars who had run away stopped their horses, looked back at the simple village wall and the Ming army that fought to the death, but could only ride their horses and flee far away and then cross the river somewhere else.
