"Kill these wounded horses, and I'll have a nice meal of meat." Li Shuang, who rushed over, ordered. This order made everyone cheer. It was a luxury for these soldiers to have a full meal, and they rarely had meat.

Even low-level officers like Li Shuang could only eat a few mouthfuls of meat when they met laborers from before the war.

However, everyone did not stay where they were. Instead, after quickly cleaning the battlefield, they killed the horses and took them to the clearing in the mountain where the wounded soldiers were hiding. At that moment, everyone split up, watching sentries, making fires, and dividing them. According to the

According to Li Shuang's arrangement, the horse meat was deboned and reserved for later consumption. The horse bones and offal were eaten first. It was summer weather.

In the hot weather, meat is easy to spoil and contains very little salt, so everyone smoked the horse meat into dried meat. The smoked meat of these four Mongolian horses weighed several hundred kilograms, but several tents were burned.

After all, no useful items were left behind. The heads of the two killed Tatar soldiers were cut off by Li Shuang's order, and they were to be taken to Yongkang City, pickled with lime, and brought back to Chongqing Mansion.

"You won't say this time that I took credit for killing good people!" Li Shuang pointed at the Tatar soldier Ouyang Xuan killed and said angrily. Only then did Ouyang Xuan realize that the Tatar soldier he killed had blue eyes and yellow hair.

Apparently they were Huihui members of the Mongolian army. The arrival of the Mongolian army at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty

There are many sources. In addition to the Mongolian cavalry, there are also Khitan, Tubo, Xixia, Qiang and other ethnic minorities as well as Huihui and other Semu people from the Western Regions. Of course, the largest number is the surrendered army of the original Jin Kingdom and the Southern Song Dynasty. Some generals in the Southern Song Army made false reports.

Military merit, often hunting and killing

In order to obtain the heads of civilians, they reported the defeat of the Mongolian army as a great victory in order to obtain rewards, and they often succeeded. Li Shuang and Yu Zhu once killed Tatar soldiers in battle, but when reporting their merits, they were falsely accused of killing civilians.

He took his head to report his military exploits, but Pan Tongzhi believed the false accusation and refused to do so.

Not only did Li Shuang and others not be rewarded, but Li Shuang and others were severely punished. Li Shuang's story sent chills down Ouyang Xuan's spine. Not only were the rewards and punishments unfair in the Southern Song army, but it was also a common practice to kill good people and take credit for their merits. It was really shocking that the Southern Song Dynasty regime was so corrupt.

It's to this extent.

After dawn, Li Shuang led everyone to Yongkang City to collect grain. This was a top priority that could not be delayed. Yesterday, because it was dark and there were Tatar soldiers chasing him, Ouyang Xuan did not see the situation in Yongkang City clearly. The Yongkang City in front of him was backed by mountains and rivers.

The quadrilateral city wall was made of rammed earth, only a few feet high and only two or three miles in circumference. Parts of the wall had collapsed, and the gap formed was surrounded by wooden fences. It was completely unlike the Jiezi Ancient Town he remembered.

Shadow, but the Longmen Mountain behind the walled city and the Weijiang River flowing from west to east next to it are so familiar. Although Ouyang Xuan knew in his heart that Wang Da did not tell lies when he met Li Shuang and others, but for himself

Whether he had really traveled through time or not, he still felt a little unwilling in his heart. Until now, he did not see the bustling Jiezi Ancient Town, but the gray and damaged Yongkang City, which shattered the last glimmer of hope in his heart.

After entering Yongkang Village, everyone started working separately. Only Ouyang Xuan sat on the wall of the village and stared blankly at the river outside the city, still holding the useless car key in his hand. Li Shuang and Yu Zhu went to the county government to find Yongkang.

County Magistrate Xie Jinyong handled the levy

Regarding food matters, Huang Dagen took his people to exchange pickled horse meat for salt. In these troubled times, although meat was precious, salt was even scarcer. Soldiers could survive without food and clothing, but long-term salt deficiency would lead to physical weakness and even

Even walking will be difficult.

At noon, Li Shuang, Yu Zhu and others found Ouyang Xuan still sitting on the city wall.

"Elder, we are leaving Yongkang Town for Hengyuan Town. We have military duties, so we will leave here and regret it later!" Yu Zhu's words interrupted Ouyang Xuan's meditation. He had been thinking about how to survive in this world.

"Li thanked the elder for his healing. Please accept my respect." Before leaving this morning, Ouyang Xuan found that Li Shuang was walking more slowly due to inflammation from the arrow wound. He remembered that there was a first aid kit in his backpack, so he took it out to help Li Shuang treat his injury.

Ouyang Xuan first cleaned the wound with cold boiled water, then disinfected it with iodine and sutured and bandaged the wound. After similarly treating the arrow wounds of the other two wounded soldiers, the medical equipment in the first aid kit had been used up, leaving only two

Root suture

He carefully collected the needle and put it into his backpack. In ancient times, the most deaths caused by war were not directly caused by weapons, but often caused by wound infection and septicemia. The Mongolians knew this well, and they often smeared their arrows with

Feces and other filthy objects are on the body, so those who are hit by the arrow often die from the subsequent infection even if they do not die on the spot. At this moment, Li Shuang's mental state has improved compared to the morning. It seems that Ouyang Xuan, the temporary guest doctor, is quite competent.

"Where are you going, elder? If you want to go to Huacheng Temple, you can go up 20 miles along the Qianwuli River and you can get there in half a day." Yu Zhu continued.

"Where are we going?" Ouyang Xuan stood up and threw the car keys into the Weijiang River under the city wall. Throwing away this crystallization of the industrial age meant that he had completely given up on the fantasy of returning to the 21st century, and that it meant that he had to start a new life in this world.

Start. "The Tatars are cruel and unnatural

Lun, I want to leave Buddhism and join you in killing the Tatars..." He had just thought about it. Sichuan in the late Southern Song Dynasty was extremely dangerous, and he never expected to die under the iron heel of the Mongols. Since he could no longer go back,

It would be better to fight the brutal Mongols to the end.

Ouyang Xuan's decision made Li Shuang and others happy. Although there were redundant officers and soldiers in the late Southern Song Dynasty, Sichuan suffered from long-term wars and the shortage of soldiers was serious. Especially in Chongqing Mansion and other places in western Sichuan, Mongolia was in trouble and lacked fighting soldiers. Like Li Shuang,

These grassroots officers can recruit troops independently. Especially even though they only spent two days with Ouyang Xuan,

Time, but seeing that he was generous in conversation, well-informed, and witty and brave in fighting the Tatars, everyone was quite impressed. How could he not welcome such a talent? Li Shuang immediately decided to make Ouyang Xuan his staff. Of course, Li Shuang is such a low-level person.

Officers are not qualified to recruit staff, so Ouyang Xuan's official title is personal attendant.

Now that Ouyang Xuan had joined the team, Li Shuang and Yu Zhu no longer had any worries on the way to Hengyuan Town and explained the trip to Ouyang Xuan in detail. There were 49 people in the group when they set off from Chongqing Mansion.

One person disappeared shortly after setting off. He was probably a deserter. When crossing the river, two people were killed by Mongolian rangers and received arrows.

The two injured soldiers stayed in Yongkang Village to recuperate. Now, including Ouyang Xuan, there are 45 people in total, divided into five fires. In addition to Cao Ergou and Huang Dagen, the other three fire chiefs are named Chen Hu and Liu Zhonghe.

Wang Youfu is an elite member of the army. According to the military system of the Southern Song Dynasty, every 10 people in the local army (Xiang army) have one fire, and the leader is called the fire chief; 5 groups

For a team, the commander is called the escort team, and the deputy commander is called the supporting team; 10 teams are called a battalion, the commander is called the preparation general, and the deputy commander is called the department general; several battalions are composed of generals, and those with more than 5,000 people are called armies, and the command of the army

The official name is Tongzhi. However, due to the frequent wars in western Sichuan and the repeated defeats of the army, it has long been unorganized and has a serious shortage.

For example, Pan Tongzhi of Chongqing Prefecture led his own army, but he actually only had 2,000 soldiers. Because Yu Zhu was gentle with others and never beat or scolded the soldiers or deducted money and food from the soldiers, the loss of personnel in the army was not large, but it was not a big loss.

He is not favored by his superiors because he has a small loss of soldiers, but his superiors are unable to take advantage of their pay and deduct more money and grain.
