One day, when he slept until midnight, Li Zhongyi had a sudden idea and adopted the method of a surprise attack to make an emergency assembly at night.

As a result, he was taken aback. Due to the lighting of only a small number of torches, many of the villagers were scurrying around like headless flies, and they could not line up normally.

After Li Zhongyi researched, it became clear that he had made the mistake of formalism again. In this era, because of long-term poor nutrition, night blindness became a common phenomenon in a large area.

According to Guo Huai's briefing, when the two armies are fighting at night, they must stop fighting, guard their respective camps, and strictly prohibit soldiers from moving around, so as to avoid the tragedy of "camp roaring" in which their own people cut each other out of fear.

From the next day, Li Zhongyi asked people to buy some pork liver every day, and asked the chef to mix pork liver, spinach, fresh crucian carp, atractylodes and wolfberries to make soup, and forced the villagers to drink a bowl of each meal.

Speaking of which, it is necessary to mention that pigs and sheep, these two creatures.

In this era, as a large amount of grassland and woodland in the Later Shu country was reclaimed as fields, the cost of raising sheep became higher and higher.

Mutton, because of its high price, has always been a delicacy for dignitaries, and ordinary grass people can't afford to eat it at all.

Superior people, don't eat pork, and there is a problem of a very strong smell, and the taste is very poor.

Sheep are different, as early as before the Zhou Dynasty, the northern peoples mastered the technology of gelding. When the ram was very young, he cut it with such a knife, which completely solved the problem of the smell of mutton.

Pork, however, is different. First of all, the female pork, with thick skin and thick meat, is not steamed, boiled, and cannot be bitten, so there is no way to eat it.

Although there are boars everywhere in Shu, almost no one knows the technique of castrating baby boars.

Therefore, pork with a strong and fishy flavor is difficult to swallow even for inferior people.

Although Li Zhongyi is a famous doctor, he is not a veterinarian, and he knows nothing about the method of castration.

Night blindness may seem scary to say, but in reality, it is not a problem at all for the well-nourished modern person.

However, until the end of the Ming Dynasty, almost no one knew how to treat night blindness.

Li Zhongyi is a special case!

His idea is actually very simple, if a person who has lost a battle can only run for his life during the day, it will be a waste of precious escape time, and he can't stay where he is at night and wait for death!

At the beginning of September, a military report finally came from the front, and Zhang Yongde led 30,000 elite Zhou troops from Fengxiang Mansion and arrived at the city of Fengzhou. As for Zhao Kuangyin's movements, no one knows.

From this day on, the military reports from the front line were transmitted to Hechi County like snowflakes every day, and then from Hechi to Chengdu.

Although Li Zhongyi doesn't know how to fight, he can also imagine that Boss Zhao, as a famous general, is mostly playing some conspiracy.

Due to the heavy garrison of troops in the city, there was no news of bandits within a radius of dozens of miles near Hechi.

The war had begun, and the villagers seemed to be basically well-trained on the surface, but they had never seen human blood.

Out of fear of Zhao Kuangyin, Li Zhongyi didn't have the courage to lead his troops to leave the county seat far away to suppress the bandits.

In case of an ambush, let Zhou Jun make dumplings and give his life in vain, it would be too wronged, right?

After the township soldiers became a well-disciplined unit, Li Zhongyi had no way to test their true combat effectiveness, so he pondered and arranged a group attack with fire or team as a unit, that is, a group fight.

Li Zhongyi shamelessly put forward a slogan to the officers, a soldier who does not dare to beat in a group is not a good soldier!

Anyway, being idle is also idle, Li Zhongyi organized a "group * beating tournament" in the camp.

In the playground, a large open space was carved out, and the two teams wore leather armor, wore iron helmets, and used wooden knives or guns to carry out organized group fights.

For the sake of fairness, Li Zhongyi arranged for Huang Jingsheng to bring his people as the referee on the spot.

Li Zhongyi made it clear that no matter what part of his body was injured, he must quit the competition immediately. Once the violators are discovered, they will forever be expelled from the thriving small group of united township soldiers.

It's one thing to be beaten, but deliberately pretending to be stupid after being stabbed is a crucial issue of integrity. It is absolutely impossible for Li Zhongyi to tolerate this kind of black sheep and remain in the ranks of the united villagers.

According to the rules, the tournament is held every seven days. The losing side not only has to eat the worst meals every day, but also has to wash the feet of the winning team for seven days in a row.

As for the winning team, in addition to being able to eat mutton every day, they can also get 5oo Wen bounty per person. If you win every time, you will get a real amount of money in a month.

You must know that the ordinary infantry in this era only had ten months' salary a year, and what they really got every month was only 200 wen.

The United Township soldiers waited even further, they belonged to conscription, and they did not even have a penny of salary.

There will be brave men under the reward!

The tournament was grandly opened, and the thrilling process of group fights was far beyond Li Zhongyi's imagination.

Soon after the start of the race, someone was injured and carried out of the field.

The people of the ambulance battalion were on the edge of the arena, bamboo stretchers, linen strips sterilized with boiling water, wound medicine to stop bleeding, and even hospital beds, all prepared in advance, waiting for this moment to come in handy.

Although it is a wooden knife wrapped in a thick cloth, it is also likely to cause a fracture if it is ruthlessly chopped on a person's hand.

There's no way, you can't see the human blood of the robbers, so let's start with your own people.

The fierceness of the war made the slogan of sweating more in peacetime and shedding less blood in wartime a joke.

At the end of the day, half of them lost.

In the evening, Li Zhongyi organized all the officers of the defeated side together, summarized the tactics, recorded them by the scribes, and compiled them into a book.

Li Zhongyi only made a principled speech at the beginning, and then completely handed over the right to discuss to these generals of the defeated army.

"Damn, Gao Xiaosan, when you are in battle, what are you shrinking? If it's really on top of the battle array, Lao Tzu will chop you a donkey with one sword......" As soon as you hear it, you know that this is a rough man.

"There are many pikemen in the enemy army, and when they stab, they are actually divided into two layers, and they take turns to collect thorns. The sword and shield soldiers of our army have no way to get close to the past in close combat...... "This person speaks very methodically, obviously has read books, but it seems that it is not appropriate to call the opponent an enemy army?"

"The enemy army has sword and shield soldiers in front, pikemen in the back, and ten people in the replacement, so you can fill the gap anytime and anywhere......"

The summary meeting was very lively, and Li Zhongyi, who was observing, listened to it with relish and gained a lot!

Li Zhongyi has never read a book of war, nor does he understand how to fight wars in ancient times, so he is not bound by any rules and regulations. In short, there is only one principle, as long as you can win, you can do whatever you want.

The next day, Guo Huai came to Li Zhongyi and said straight to the point: "Li Gong, we are crossbowmen, what are we going to do, the tournament is ......."

Unlike the infantry army, the crossbowmen have a fast attack, high lethality, and a long range, so there is no way to practice confrontation.

Li Zhongyi thought about it, and in the end, he found inspiration from the artillery shooting training of the People's Liberation Army in later generations.

The next day, early in the morning, Li Zhongyi arranged for Huang Jingsheng's people to draw a rectangular white circle more than 1oo meters long and only three meters wide with quicklime on the training ground.

The crossbowmen, still in a team, under the command of the officer, in turn from three different directions, lined up towards the white circle, the number of arrows in the white circle, as the winning standard.

To Li Zhongyi's sincere joy, most of his bow and crossbow team were good hunters. The results of the salvo were very satisfying, and the arrows that fell outside the white circle were actually only a small part.

Of course, since it's a competition, there must be winners and losers. Those bow and crossbow teams who lost the game were treated according to the standards of the infantry army.

Li Zhongyi's training here is in full swing and is gradually getting better, but the war on the front line is full of bad news.

First, Zhao Kuangyin, the general of the Later Zhou Dynasty, who had not appeared for a long time, suddenly led 20,000 elite soldiers, appeared under the city of Qinzhou, and launched a fierce attack.

The Shu army defending the city was desperately resisting, who knew that Zhao Jiza, who was sent by Meng Chang to be the military envoy, actually opened the south gate and fled in a hurry, leading the army to be in turmoil.

As a result, in just one day, Qinzhou quickly fell into the hands of Zhao Kuangyin.

Qinzhou was lost, the gateway of Chengzhou (now Chengxian County, Gansu) and Jiezhou (now Wudu District, Longnan City, Gansu) was opened, and the whole country of Shu was shaken three times a day.

Fengzhou, where Wang Zhaoyuan was sitting, was frantically besieged by Zhang Yongde, and the military report for help was transmitted to the rear with more than a dozen letters a day.

The shape of Hechi City suddenly became tense several times, and Meng Renyi had already held a military meeting for two days in a row.

Li Zhongyi's status was too low to be qualified to attend a high-level military conference. However, when it comes to life-threatening matters, it is impossible for Li Zhongyi not to care.

After the meeting, Li Zhongyi went to Meng Renyi to inquire about the news.

Meng Renyi rubbed his somewhat numb cheeks, sighed and said: "There are three opinions arguing, one is to hurry north to aid Fengzhou, the other is to hold on to Hechi to protect the baggage camp, and the last one is to wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the imperial court. ”

Li Zhongyi blinked his eyes and pondered for a moment, isn't this still two opinions, save and guard.

"What is the strength of the Zhou army?" Li Zhongyi had never fought before, and he was very unfamiliar with the command skills of Zhang Yongde and other famous generals of the Zhou army.

"Well, I don't have any details here." Meng Renyi scratched his head, "I only know that Zhang Yongde is Guo Wei's son-in-law, and in last year's Gaoping Battle, he once took the lead bravely, protecting Chai Rong, the lord of Zhou, and defeating the Han army and the Khitan coalition army. However, Zhao Kuangyin, the deputy commander of the Zhou army's guards and the infantry army, seemed to be more powerful. ”

Li Zhongyi was speechless for a while, as a general in charge of the army, Meng Renyi actually didn't know about the situation of the enemy's commander and deputy marshal, he really deserved to be spanked.

No wonder, when the Northern Song Dynasty attacked Houshu, it only took more than 60 days from Kaifeng to the fall of Houshu (Sikong didn't make it up, this is a historical fact).

"Blameless, what do you think?" Meng Renyi is also going to the doctor for a sudden illness now, knowing that Li Zhongyi is a military rookie, he actually asked him for advice.

Li Zhongyi didn't have the idea of working hard for Meng Chang, and to put it mildly, he didn't even have the slightest.

"If, I mean, the baggage base of Hechi is lost, what will happen?" Li Zhongyi blinked and asked Meng Renyi.

"Ahem, it's so unlucky, can't you say something auspicious?" Meng Renyi coughed again and again, "If it is really so unlucky, needless to say, Xingzhou (now Luoyang County, Shaanxi), even Xingyuan Mansion (now Hanzhong), Yuanzhou (now Yangxian County, Shaanxi), and Lizhou (Guangyuan) are likely to be unable to be saved, so they can only retreat to Jianmen Pass." ”

Li Zhongyi was secretly frightened, if this was the case, it would be a collapse of hundreds of miles, and the Zhou army would directly threaten the most important gateway to the north of Houshu, the Sword Pavilion.

"Let's wait for reinforcements to come." Li Zhongyi irresponsibly gave Meng Renyi bad ideas.

Meng Renyi hesitated to say something, but at this moment, the guards ran in in a panic and said in a trembling voice: "Yu Meng Shuai, the grain and grass warehouse in No. 2 A in the east of the city is on fire, and Zhou Jun ...... Zhou Jun ......"
