28. Sadness(1/2)
"It's so miserable.√,"
The end of a war does not mean the end of everything. At least usually, someone still needs to be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield.
Burning the corpses of the victors one by one and putting them into corresponding containers and sending them back to their hometowns together with some of the relics and pensions left by them during their lifetimes can be regarded as the living showing their last care to the dead, and also encouraging the living with the rest of the dead.
The one continues to move forward.
As for the corpses of the defeated, unless they are the remains of high-ranking generals or soldiers of special value, they are usually stripped of their armor, dug into some deep pits and thrown in, or simply found.
A less eye-catching valley is stacked together - of course, in order to prevent the plague, it will also
Choose to burn these corpses, but this is mostly limited to small-scale battles. For larger-scale battles, there is usually no way to deal with so many corpses, especially in summer, and it will not take more than a few days.
The Kung Fu battlefield will become a place that everyone hates and ghosts hate, and no one will want to go near it for a few years.
After all, there are all kinds of germs, poisonous gases and unscientific grievances gathered there. If you get close, you will get sick or even infect others. Over time, there will be legends such as the "Death Place", which will become all kinds of weird stories even after a few years or thousands of years.
The place where it happened.
Of course, sometimes in order to rush for time, the cleaning of the battlefield is only superficial and careless, so some villagers and businessmen who are not afraid of death follow them like vultures that have smelled a fishy smell. After all, how much is this business?
It can also be regarded as a business without capital. If you only need to pay a dozen lives to swallow a large amount of supplies, it will be a huge profit no matter how you look at it.
Therefore, in a capital with a strong commercial atmosphere, all kinds of businessmen will always be around the army. They can be responsible for handling the exchange between the army's trophies and military supplies, or they can be responsible for providing some inconspicuous but popular items for the army.
Serving, they will be the best lubricant for the huge national machine of the army, and they will also be the executioners who make the army more greedy.
Of course, what we are talking about here is the scene after the end of a general war, but the battlefield in front of us that has just ended is completely different from ordinary battlefields.
Yes, it’s completely different. Because... there is almost no oil or water to fish for!!!
If it weren't for some Xianbei cavalry who provided horses, swords that could be resmelted, and other looted gold and silver artifacts, it would be hard for Li Shushi to believe that anyone would be interested in cleaning up the battlefield.
Those Xianbei infantry didn't leave a single head at all, and naturally they didn't leave any kind of armor behind. The only melee weapons left behind were some "even if they are re-smelted, because there is too much negative energy left in them, it will interfere with it."
The quality of weapons may still be used as agricultural tools. But you also need to consider whether the negative energy inside will affect the growth of plants (white tiger meow)". People don't know how to deal with it at all. It seems that only
It’s really not acceptable to take this path of being able to deceive people.
As a result, the job of cleaning the battlefield, which was originally a somewhat popular job, turned into a job that you pushed to me. I pushed it to you, which fully demonstrated the harmonious and friendly relationship between each other, so much so that Li Shushi had to personally order the resolution of this matter.
thing.
"So Wenqiao, who made your subordinates perform the worst this time, so you should be considerate and considerate. By the way, there is no need to tell those caravans that if they actively participate, they can get an extra reward.
Don’t tell them~!”
Of course, don't pay attention to the fact that Li Shushi led the army and just started walking, and there were sounds of joy coming from behind.
Li Shushi really didn't have the time to slowly clean the battlefield here. Although cleaning the battlefield carefully is a good habit of the Bingzhou Army, it also depends on the occasion - it means that he clearly knows that a certain loli is leading her men.
Looking for the enemy's altar, how could Li Shushi settle down and waste time here? His mind had already flown far away in the first place.
What worried Li Shushi even more was the constant appearance of enemy reinforcements during previous battles. Although the number in each wave never exceeded a thousand, even if there were only three hundred at one time, Su Xiaoluoli and her subordinates were tied together.
Dozens of times, it will become very unsafe if a small amount adds up to a large amount.
Anyway, since the inexplicable fainting incident of the Yellow Dragon girl, Li Shushi has also lost his confidence in those usually powerful beings. God knows when these guys will have problems, and aren't they all like this when they fall off the chain at critical moments?
Even though the enemy's reinforcements had stopped appearing in the later stages of the battle, Li Shushi still couldn't let go.
There are some things that if you don't see them with your own eyes, you will always have doubts and uneasiness, and make up terrible scenes in your head.
Of course, maybe Li Shushi can also act righteously, just like he did in front of his subordinates, and defined this operation as "preventing tragedies from happening again, completely destroying the enemy's lair to prevent the enemy from resurrecting."
superior.
"So even if Shushi Meow treats meow like this, meow will still get angry. Without a lollipop, there is no way to calm down the anger!"
Regardless of whether this will make people misunderstand that Baihu Meow, your purpose is to blackmail Lollipop, let’s just talk about the appearance of White Tiger Meow, who is currently being held by Li Shushi’s collar with one hand and floating along with the ups and downs of the war horse.
It's quite a joy.
Well, in fact, Li Shushi can also put the white tiger cat behind him or hold him in front of him. After all, the yellow claw is not only a horse, but also Li Shushi's precious phantom. Naturally, he will not be frightened by the aura of the king of beasts.
Yes, but if you put the white tiger cat behind you, the white tiger cat hugging your waist will always look like a couple holding their boyfriend and sitting on a little sheep motorcycle. As for letting the white tiger cat sit
In front of Li Shushi, in his arms...
By the way, isn’t that really Li Shushi taking her cute little daughter on a trip?
That picture was so beautiful that Li Shushi couldn't imagine other people's reactions when they saw this scene.
If she thought about Su Xiaololi's reaction to Li Shushi's "cordial conversation" with Mi Fang, Li Shushi thought it would be better to avoid this kind of thing. After all, even though she looked easy to bully, Su Xiaololi's combat effectiveness was definitely not as good as the white tiger cat in her hand.
Of course, the white tiger cat in the hands of Li Shushi is indeed very tolerant and easy to bully. No, although if you just look at the words of the white tiger cat, you may feel that it seems very manly and domineering, but if this sentence is used very
If she spoke with a soft voice and a slightly coquettish expression, everyone would probably have black lines on her head like Li Seo-sil.
Such threats are of no use! Doesn’t this make people want to bully you even more!!
Of course, if it were a girl or someone with special preferences, seeing Baihu Meow’s cute expression, she would probably be unable to bear it and hold her in her arms to love (lin) her heart out. And
It’s not about letting the white tiger cat continue to eat the wind.
The biggest advantage of having everyone fighting on war horses is that the mobility of this unit is greatly enhanced.
That is the legendary "turning into the wind".
Of course, Li Shushi's troops just won a battle. So this is a transition after victory, rather than the windy transition of some troops from one defeat to another, so even if I use this word, it still makes sense.
Has a very positive meaning.
The journey, which was not long in the first place, actually took only a few hours, but because it was already past the autumnal equinox, it was getting dark earlier and earlier.
Starting from the morning to the previous battle, and then after a short rest and eating, it is now sunset.
"Shu Shi, should we ask the troops to stop first and then send out reconnaissance cavalry. If there are no problems, we can continue to move forward."
In such an environment and having just experienced such a cruel battle, even Xiaoqiang became extremely cautious. After all, if the survivors can still obtain various conveniences during the day to engage in evenly matched confrontations with strange enemies, but when night falls, under the stars,
The world of Xianbei is the world of those Xianbei infantry who behave strangely. No one can predict whether there is an enemy hidden around them that has been prepared for a long time, and no one can discover whether the enemy has been ambushed on the way forward.
Without much thought, Li Shushi agreed with Xiaoqiang's judgment. Although he was very worried about Su Xiaololi, from a mental perspective, since his group of ghosts had not changed, it was even more unlikely that Su Xiaololi, who was protected by them, would happen.
No matter what happens, or even if something unexpected happens, those ghosts can protect Su Xiaololi and send her back safely.
The greatly reduced troops were dispersed into the five surrounding forts that had been abandoned a while ago. Li Shushi dispersed a large number of experienced border soldiers and herdsmen in groups of three to five, with each group separated by
The distance is not too big, even Li Shushi has to be careful when facing those weird guys, even if he can get in front of those weird guys
He sensed their presence before he got close to him, but the range of this perception was extremely limited. It could even be said that the radius was no more than ten meters. After all, Li Shushi was not aware of them at all when those guys sneaked into Pingcheng City, and the radius of ten meters is not enough for one person.
It may be considered a relatively large space, but for the entire battlefield, it is really just a drop in the ocean.
Fortunately, the enemy was unable to use long-range weapons like crossbows for some reason, otherwise Li Shushi would have been assassinated even more unpreventably. At that time, no one dared to give 100% as to whether he could still have such good luck.
Hundreds of answers.
"I didn't expect that these cattle and sheep have not been killed after so many days. This should be regarded as a miracle."
After some exploration into the Wubao, not only did they not find any enemies, but they found a large number of cattle and sheep in the breeding room that was originally used to house cattle, sheep and other livestock in winter. After identification by the herdsmen accompanying the army, they were indeed them.
Things left behind.
After all, you are escaping in a hurry. Apart from daily necessities, the only things you can carry are valuables. Horses, which are faster-moving livestock, can be carried with you through some means, but slower-moving cattle and sheep can only be carried with you.
They are made from dried meat and cheese, or fur jackets and quilts used to keep warm at night when winter is about to begin.
Most of the remaining livestock were left here. The herdsmen don't know what fate they will encounter, but it is conceivable that they will suffer huge losses this time.
Therefore, in the previous battles, the fighting spirit and will of these young herdsmen far exceeded those of the caravan guards, because the caravan guards participated in the battle to earn extra money. However, these herdsmen participated in the battle.
It is for the future survival of the tribe. Only by winning more rewards can the tribe that has suffered heavy losses continue to exist in the future.
After all, for tribes that have made great contributions, even if they cannot be rewarded with enough livestock, Li Shushi, as the Bingzhou Mu and a great warlord who commands several states, can make up for it in other ways. In this way, they may even get more.
Nowadays, livestock such as cattle and sheep seem to have not been lost much. It is probably not only because the enemy does not have time to transport these things back, but also because the strange Xianbei infantry should not have much interest in eating, so naturally there is no consumption.
There are only thousands of Xianbei cavalry. Even if they eat freely, they will not consume much in less than half a month.
As a result, these accidentally surviving cattle and sheep were not able to continue their previous luck. Instead, they were slaughtered under Li Shushi's orders. All were given to the soldiers who fought hard for a day - of course, the original owners of the cattle and sheep would be found later.
The settlement will be carried out, but the settlement standard will naturally be determined based on the military exploits of those tribes. If they are not active, they will definitely lose everything.
A delicious hot meal calmed down the warriors who had just experienced a bloody battle with an inhuman enemy. Maybe some of them were still frightened by nightmares. Maybe because
They were secretly saddened by the departure of their close relatives and friends. However, the enjoyable meal still allowed them to vent a lot of negative feelings accumulated in their hearts, and this full meal also strengthened their expectations for the future, instead of choosing because they could not see the future.
Leave and exit.
In fact, many people already understand that they will fall on the battlefield sooner or later from the moment they join the military camp. The only difference is what kind of identity they will be in when they fall, and whether they will leave a legacy for their families and future generations.
Order something.
After inspecting the sleeping soldiers in the Wubao, Li Shushi felt that he could feel more at ease when he saw that most of them were smiling contentedly in their sleep. The intelligence that the scouts who went out came back one after another made him even more worried.
The anxious heart calmed down.
Although the careful exploration along the way took the soldiers a lot of time, so that they did not reach the core area where the enemy was stationed until midnight, but after the exploration along the way, the possibility of the enemy's presence was basically dispatched, and from the reported information
It seems that although the enemy troops looted all kinds of materials, they were all piled up in various forts.
It seems that there was no time to transport it back to the grassland, or the other party originally wanted to obtain greater results before considering this matter.
To be continued...
