Xiao Han had already been mentally prepared for the strange behavior of Gouzi and the others.
After all, this battle with the pirates was ostensibly to defend Yangzhou, but in fact, in his eyes, it was just a military training exercise!
Even though the process and content of this military training was really bloody! Xiao Han never regretted it.
The application of firearms has never been for kindness! If you can't stand even this bit of blood, then there is no need for the New Fire Guards to exist.
I think back then, when we were in Chang'an, Lao Cheng said: An army that has never been on the battlefield and has never seen blood cannot be called a qualified army!
Similarly, Li Jing also tactfully said to Xiao Han: A unit that has not been tested in actual combat is difficult to be accepted by other generals.
Since when did Xiao Han come up with the idea of letting the new fire guards go to the battlefield to see blood?
However, he reluctantly listened to Xiao Lizi's suggestion and asked the new Fire Guard to go to the frontier to train.
Because, firstly, firearms are not suitable for appearing in front of everyone yet.
Second, he has always felt that putting a piece of rough jade on sandpaper and slowly polishing it is called tempering!
If you directly throw it into the eyes of thousands of pounds, it is not called tempering, but should be called murder!
Therefore, during the period when Xiao Han arrived in Yangzhou, the new fire guards who had no chance to go to the frontier could only stay in the Qinling Mountains. Occasionally meeting a bandit was considered a New Year! Where else could they get any actual combat training?
Xiao Han saw this with his eyes and was anxious in his heart! But he had no good way, until he heard the news that there were thieves who were going to attack Yangzhou in a large scale...
No one knows how happy Xiao Han was when he was surprised!
These thieves appeared out of nowhere, with no discipline! No equipment! No large equipment, no bows and arrows! No cavalry! Nothing that could threaten this nascent team!
What they have is a strong body and brutal methods. But firearms are exactly the two things they are least afraid of!
Physically strong? Can it be stronger than a fire bomb?
Cruel means? After the gunpowder explodes, your hand will be blown away, but you will be disabled...
Therefore, after carefully studying this pirate team, Xiao Han knew that there was absolutely no one more suitable for the new Fire Guards who were entering the battlefield for the first time than them.
Only during that period, Xiao Han would often wake up laughing while dreaming.
After coming to Datang, he always thought that he was lucky, but he never thought that he was so lucky!
When you are hungry, someone will bring you steamed buns.
If you feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow!
At that moment, Wang Mang and Liu Xiu all stood aside!
"I am the real chosen one! Wow haha..."
Standing on the top of the mountain, Xiao Han couldn't help laughing wildly with his hands on his hips.
When Xiaodong saw this, he cautiously moved to the side to put a little distance away from the crazy Xiao Han. He felt that Mr. Hou might have been frightened by those bloody scenes...
"Dong dong..."
The sound of horse hooves coming from far and near came from a distance along the evening wind, interrupting Xiao Han's thoughts.
"Master Hou, someone is coming!"
"Nonsense, I'm not deaf, I can see!"
It is difficult to understand whether being deaf or not has anything to do with being unable to see, but Xiaodong still closed his mouth wisely, followed Xiao Han's example, quickly lay on the ground, and then tried his best to stare at the source of the sound.
distance.
At the end of the field of vision, under the beautiful sunset on the horizon, a black horse gallops towards here.
The horse's hooves without inlays stepped on the ground, making a dull sound. In this quiet evening, people could hear it more and more clearly.
Xiao Han had a telescope, so he could see more clearly than Xiaodong. Except for the handsome and dark horse, he could even see the attire of the man on the horse.
The man was dressed in black, almost the same color as the horse underneath him. To the naked eye, it was difficult to tell that there was another person sitting on the horse.
"It seems that Wang Wu has sent the message. They were sent to check the situation first." Xiao Han held up the telescope and whispered thoughtfully.
Xiaodong was lying next to Xiao Han, staring so hard to see the person. At this time, hearing what Xiao Han said, he quickly turned his head and asked: "Master Hou, you said they will send someone to check the situation."
Aren’t you too scared to come?”
"Hmph, you don't dare to come? How is that possible? Have you ever heard of the saying that curiosity killed the cat?" Xiao Han said with a sneer when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, after listening to Xiao Han's words, Xiaodong scratched his head with a confused look on his face: "Cat? What is that?"
"Ahem, cat? You don't know? Tom! The one who catches mice!"
Xiao Han almost choked to death from Xiaodong and rolled his eyes. He was about to explain it to him with gestures, but suddenly he remembered: This is the Tang Dynasty. At this time, cats are still an absolute rarity and imported goods.
!
It is estimated that in ordinary times, you can only find it in the homes of princes and nobles. A person with a mud-legged background like Xiaodong has never been heard of, let alone seen!
Looking up at the distance, it was estimated that the dark horse still had some distance to go before he could reach the valley. Xiao Han thought that since he had nothing to do, he might as well spread knowledge to Xiaodong so that he would not go out and embarrass himself.
"You've never heard of cats, but you've heard of roe deer, right?" Xiao Han moved his body, chose a comfortable position to lie down, and continued to ask.
"Roe deer? I still haven't heard of it." Xiaodong continued to be at a loss.
He has seen and played with pig urine bubbles.
But a roe deer? What is that?
Looking at Xiaodong with his innocent eyes, Xiao Han felt that he could no longer complain. This person's knowledge was too narrow! He had never even heard of a mythical beast like a roe deer?
"Roe Deer is a kind of creature that lives in the north. It is called Silly Roe Deer! Do you know why he is called Silly Roe Deer?" Xiao Han sighed and tried to explain to him.
Xiaodong shook his head honestly: "I don't know."
Xiao Han's cheeks trembled, like a deflated rubber ball: "Because it is just like you, stupid and curious!"
"I'm not stupid! My mother said I'm smart!" Xiaodong was a little unconvinced when he heard this.
Xiao Han raised the telescope again, looked at the black horse at the foot of the mountain, and asked casually: "Then do you know why I am sure that they will not be scared away?"
Xiaodong blinked: "I don't know... Huh? Why is that?"
"Oh, you guys are all a bunch of stupid roe deers!"
Xiaodong was confused, not knowing that the legendary roe deer really looked like him.
They're silly, they're cute, and what's worse, they're also very curious!
Legend has it that when someone was hunting and saw a roe deer, he raised his gun and fired with a bang. If he missed, the roe deer would run away.
At this time, the hunter does not need to chase, but stays where he is, taking time to reload the bullet, smoke a cigarette, and wait for a while, the roe deer will come back again.
Dear mother, what was so loud just now? It scared the roe deer...
