Chapter 014: Replenish the troops

The people around were talking, and at the back of the crowd, Mrs. Yang walked through the crowd and looked at Liu Xing, who was thrown into the air, stunned.

After a while, Old Madam Yang turned her head to look at the little lady of the Yang family beside her, and said softly: "It would be great if your brother was here, if he met such a strange young man, I believe that fighting side by side will definitely make the golden dog collapse for thousands of miles and dare not move forward." ”

The little lady of the Yang family still looked at the direction of the city gate when her mother spoke, and nodded in distraction: "Yes!" What a strange boy, my 'Hu Shuang' has found the right new owner. ”

When Mrs. Yang heard her words, her face sank: "Don't forget that you have a marriage contract, and the sword can be given away, you don't want to mess up your mind and ruin the reputation of my Yang family, do you hear it." ”

"Oh, mother, what do you say?" Suddenly hearing her mother's words, the little lady of the Yang family's delicate cheeks flew red clouds, and then turned around and ran quickly to the side under the eaves......

"Oh, what's wrong with Vice Envoy Liu?"

Just as the little lady of the Yang family was running away, in the direction of the city gate, there was a burst of exclamations from the crowd of Song soldiers. In the midst of the exclamations, the crowd of Song soldiers suddenly dispersed.

As soon as the crowd dispersed, Liu Xing quickly rushed out of the crowd and ran a few steps under the city wall. Holding one hand against the wall and the other to his throat, he opened his mouth and said "wow, wow" and poured out all the little food he ate before he left the city.

"Deputy Envoy Liu, what's wrong with you? Could it be that the brothers threw you and made you feel sick and vomited? With an anxious expression, Sun Yujiang followed Liu Xing to the city wall, and asked anxiously.

Turning his head to look at him, Liu Xing spit out two more mouthfuls before saying: "Nonsense, if it's you, you just rushed to kill for a while, and you were thrown up and down by someone, you see that you can stand it, you can't stand it." ”

Having said that, Liu Xing knew very well in his heart: his uncle, of course the master couldn't tell him, it was when the crowd cheered that the master remembered what happened when he killed the enemy just now. The first time the master killed someone, when he thought of those terrifying scenes just now, his stomach had already turned over, and he didn't let the master vomit out, so he had to hold back the problem.

If I let you know, just now the master was completely holding on, holding on to the death mentality, and as soon as the tightly collapsed string was loosened, he vomited like this after remembering the situation. also called me mighty, and said that I was a big hero, I was afraid that I would burst into laughter. Master, I myself feel that I am really funny now......

"Where is Deputy Envoy Liu, Deputy Envoy Liu?"

Just when Liu Xing was secretly laughing at himself, there was a sound of horses' hooves on the street, and Zhang Xiaochun came to the city gate while calling and looking under the escort of a team of forbidden cavalry.

As soon as he saw Liu Xing leaning against the wall and vomiting, Zhang Xiaochun turned over and dismounted, ran quickly to the front, pulled Liu Xing over, and said urgently: "Deputy Envoy Liu, what's wrong with you?" But hurt? ”

"No, no, no injuries. Oh! Just as Liu Xing got up and replied with a forced smile to Zhang Xiaochun, Liu Xing suddenly felt a hot pain in his left shoulder hit his brain, and reached out to touch his left shoulder with a scream.

As soon as the hand touched his shoulder, the pain hit him even more, and Liu Xing realized that he was not injured, but he was in the excitement brought by the joy of victory and did not notice. His left shoulder, I don't know when, slashed the golden dog. From the range of pain, the wound is at least an inch long.

"Come on, where are the doctors, come here! Deputy Envoy Liu is injured! ”

Seeing Liu Xing's shoulders flushed, Zhang Xiaochun suddenly turned around and shouted.

didn't let him continue shouting, Liu Xing suddenly stretched out his hand and shook it in his eyes. Then he smiled strangely, guided Zhang Xiaochun with his hand to look at himself again, and said, "Can any medical officer be more trustworthy than myself?" Zhang Xuanzhi, it's okay, I'm just scratched my skin. With Brother Sun and Brother Wan by my side, those golden dogs haven't had a chance to seriously hurt me. ”

Having said that, Liu Xing already knew very well in his heart at this time that he should have opened a big hole in his shoulders for the enemy. That hole should have reached the shoulder bone.

But Liu Xing could only stiffen up and pretend to be indifferent, and secretly thought in his heart: In such a lonely city, the small victory he had just fought to the death had injected a great boost into the army and people of the city. At such a critical moment, the fighting spirit of the soldiers and civilians in the whole city could not be allowed to burn again, because their injuries were cooled down again.

The morale of the military and civilians is strong, and the defense of the city can be worry-free in the short term. If the will of the army and the people is dispersed, it only takes a few rounds of fierce attacks on the golden dog, and this seemingly solid city is likely to be captured by the golden dog. So I can only hold on, and I can't leak how heavy my injuries are......

Having made up his mind, Liu Xingqiang smiled and said to Zhang Xiaochun: "Zhang Xuan, if my guess is right, the golden dog knows that we are brave enough to wait for knowledge, and if they are caught off guard." Without half a pillar of incense, the golden dog outside the city will inevitably attack the city in a big way. Envoy Xuan, don't delay here, but quickly take your brothers up to the city wall to prepare. I can take care of my injuries myself. ”

"Good man, good man!" Seeing that bright red blood was pouring out of Liu Xing's shoulders, but Liu Xing was so strong that he was concerned about the defense of the city first, Zhang Xiaochun couldn't help but praise it twice, and then turned to the soldiers around him and said loudly: "Brothers, go to the city." Don't let Vice Liu's prestige in the First World War go to waste. ”

"Go to the city, kill the enemy, kill the enemy!"

When the surrounding soldiers heard this, they echoed in unison, and then turned around and grabbed their respective weapons and quickly ran to the road leading to the city wall.

When only the forty or so cavalry of the Qin Feng Army led by Sun Yujiang and Wan Yafei remained, Zhang Xiaochun stared at Liu Xingdao again: "Deputy Envoy Liu, you have made great achievements in this battle. According to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, this official should be rewarded to you. Say, whatever reward you want, this official will not deal with it. ”

Squeezed a smile and smiled at Zhang Xiaochun, Liu Xing said: "Lord Xuan, you are sure that I will definitely reward you, right?" Okay, you're welcome. The corpses of more than a hundred Qin Fengjun brothers outside the city, I hope you will find an opportunity to snatch them back. Didn't you say that Qingyun Guan returned to me? I will go to Qingyunguan to heal now, and you will try to gather all the blacksmiths, saltpeter merchants, and charcoal merchants in the city to Qingyunguan in the shortest possible time. In addition, the Qing allowed the two brothers, Sun and Wan, to go to the cavalry in various parts of the city to select some people and replenish them with soldiers. When my injuries heal a little, I will be able to fight side by side with the Ambassador. ”

Hearing Liu Xing's series of requests, Zhang Xiaochun was slightly stunned and asked, "What do you want blacksmiths, saltpeter merchants, and coal merchants to do?" Replenishment of troops, as a matter of course. But let Sun Jun's envoy and Wan Jun's envoy go to the whole city to pick people, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right? ”

"My flame bomb is a weapon to win this battle. To make more flamebombs, blacksmiths, saltpeter merchants, and charcoal merchants are indispensable. Liu Xing covered his shoulders, walked in front of Zhang Xiaochun with the support of Sun Yujiang, and said with a sneer: "As long as you give me enough saltpeter, charcoal and iron tools, when my injuries are better, I will let the golden dog see Thor again." ”

After a slight pause, staring at Zhang Xiaochun, Liu Xing continued: "As for letting the two brothers Sun and Wan choose their own people, I also know that most of the soldiers and horses in the city are the troops that have been operated by the adults for many years, and they will definitely not want to give them to others easily. But your lordship, you have the right to be here, we have just finished the battle, and I believe that the truly bloody soldiers in the city are eager to go with me to kill the enemy again. As long as you forcibly give an order and force those adults to let those who are willing to play with me join the two brothers Sun and Wan, I am not afraid that they will not be able to pick the good soldiers they want. As long as the soldiers who have been replenished are effective, I will go out of the city and fight again, just wait for my injuries to heal and the number of flame bombs will be produced in sufficient quantities. ”

After listening to Liu Xing's words, Zhang Xiaochun's eyes rolled slightly, and he thought to himself: This scholar has been successful in the first battle and greatly boosted the morale of the army, and there are indeed many soldiers in the city who are now excited and want to fight with him. But if I really let his people choose soldiers to replenish them, firstly, the leading troops of the various departments will make trouble with me, and secondly, if the people are chosen by him, and the heart will belong to him, will they still be able to obey my command in the future?

Seeing Zhang Xiaochun's eyes rolling and frowning and thinking, Liu Xing guessed his thoughts. In this era, most soldiers were leaders who were almost private.

Although the Great Song Dynasty was afraid of the rebellion of the generals, they took charge of the army with literati. But the Qingjian City Family Army, the Fuzhou Folding Family Army, and even the Yang Family General of Tianbo Mansion, which one of them did not become the private army of the family under the condition that the main general remained unchanged for a long time?

Speaking of the seed army alone, if he is directly asking for troops from the seed master and the seed master at this time, I am afraid that those two will immediately oppose it, and even scold themselves for taking away people's soldiers, which is greater than seizing property.
