The wounds on my face are scarred and itchy, making people want to scratch them but dare not.
The scarring of the wound means that the injury has been stabilized. Although the appearance is ruined, the life is saved, which is lucky in comparison.
After lying in bed for ten days, Shi Dayong knew everything that happened outside. When he woke up, he wanted to move. At that time, he had a feeling that if he didn't move any more, the parts of his body would rust.
"Bring me a mirror."[
After getting out of bed, my first thought was to see what I looked like now.
However, this request made Guo Yi a little embarrassed, and he hesitated and said: "General, it's better not to read it."
"Why don't you watch?"
Shi Dayong knew what he was worried about. He raised his hand and said nonchalantly: "If I don't even know what I will become, how can I be a human being in the future? Besides, we are warriors who lead troops to kill enemies, not scholars who read books by sages. This
If your face is ruined, it will be ruined. What's the problem? Go ahead and stop acting like a mother-in-law. You've been with me for so long and you still don't understand me?"
"General, do you really want to see it?"
The authorities are confused, but bystanders are clear. Guo Yi is still very worried that Shi Dayong cannot accept his current appearance. After all, this appearance is really too shameful.
"Of course. Do you think I'm joking with you?"
Shi Dayong, who survived the disaster, was in a good mood. In order to make Guo Yi stop worrying about him, he deliberately smiled at him. However, in Guo Yi's eyes, his smile was extremely weird.
"General, wait a minute. I'm going to find a mirror right now."
Guo Yi couldn't resist Shi Dayong, so he had to find a bronze mirror and carefully handed it to Shi Dayong.
After taking the bronze mirror, Shi Dayong couldn't wait to put it in front of his face.
When I saw it, I couldn't help but take a breath: This face was so badly damaged!
In the mirror, only half of his face is intact, while the other half is missing. If the mirror is turned slightly sideways, the Shi Dayong reflected in the mirror will appear as if he was born without half of his face.
If you bring the mirror closer, you can clearly see the sunken pit, which is covered with blood scars and looks very thin, as if you can pierce your face again with a light poke with your hand.
The piece was cut from the left side of the nose, all the way to the droop of the left ear, and half of the face was completely cut away.
There is basically no flesh on the cheekbones, and the nose bone is like a cut-out carrot, with its bare bones exposed.
Fortunately for Shi Dayong, his eye was saved, otherwise if he had lost one eye, he would have been like Li Zicheng.
I don’t know what kind of medicine Li Shihe used. Not only did the wound heal quickly, but there was no infection. If such a large wound was infected, even ten more Li Shihes would have completely wiped out Shi Dayong’s life. These days, but
No antibiotics.
However, Shi Dayong still feels a little regretful. He is not sorry for the disfigurement, but for the original owner of the body, Brother Shi. You said he had a good face, but he turned it into a half-faced person. It is very sorry for him.[
"General?" Seeing that Shi Dayong was stunned, Guo Yi thought that he still couldn't accept this majestic appearance, so he quickly called him softly, fearing that the general would go crazy and scratch his face, which would be the end of it. Li Shihe was a thousand-year-old man.
Wan Ding warned, although the scar on the face has healed, it cannot be scratched. If scratching causes bleeding and inflammation, there is really no way to save it.
"Um?"
Shi Dayong responded casually, "It's okay, it's good, but it's a bit scary. I'm afraid I won't be able to walk at night anymore, otherwise I'll scare people to death." After a pause, he said to himself: "See you when we go out like this.
You have to find a way to cover it up, otherwise it will be like seeing a ghost in broad daylight, and it is not good to scare people, especially children."
He walked around the room a few times with the mirror, then suddenly stopped and hurriedly told Guo Yi: "Go and call Lao Qin."
"Why did you call him here?" Guo Yi wondered, if he wanted to call him, he would have to call Li Shihe, but why would he call Lao Qin, a craftsman?
Shi Dayong glared at him: "Go if you are told. Why are you asking so many questions?"
Guo Yina curled his lips and had no choice but to go find Lao Qin again. Before leaving, he ordered someone to bring some food to Shi Dayong.
After drinking the porridge for a few days, Shi Dayong's taste faded away from his mouth, and his stomach was very hungry. He hurriedly opened his mouth to eat and drink. Unexpectedly, when he opened his mouth, his face felt a sharp pain like a nerve, and then he remembered that the wound was not completely healed.
Okay, don't open your mouth too wide.
Alas, I chewed and swallowed slowly like a little daughter-in-law, not to mention how uncomfortable it was to eat.
When Guo Yi found Lao Qin, Lao Qin was building a new armor. When he heard that the general wanted to see him, Lao Qin was so happy that he dropped his work and followed Guo Yi to see Shi Dayong.
When the people arrived, they saw Shi Dayong eating there. Lao Qin did not dare to disturb him. He glanced at Guo Yi. Guo Yi nodded and called: "General, we have brought him."
"Old Qin is here."
Hearing the sound, Shi Dayong put down the bowl and looked up at Lao Qin. This sight was so shocking that Lao Qin took a few steps back as if he had seen a ghost and screamed: "Oh my God!"
The way Lao Qin screamed made Guo Yi anxious. He was afraid that Shi Dayong would be provoked, so he grabbed Lao Qin and shouted: "What are you yelling about? I haven't seen the general yet!"
"Is it a general?..."
Lao Qin's eyes widened and he looked at the half-faced man in disbelief.
"Why, you can't even hear my voice?" Shi Dayong was not angry with Lao Qin. He knew that his current appearance was really unacceptable. He stretched out his hand to signal them to come in.
After fearfully following Guo Yi into the house, his fear turned into curiosity, but he did not dare to look directly at Shi Dayong's face. Lao Qin could only lower his head and look at it secretly.
Seeing this, Shi Dayong didn't take it seriously and said straight to the point: "General, my face is ruined. It's really hard to see people. Can you please make a mask for me? I will wear this mask from now on to avoid being scared."
Attracting people."
"Mask?" Lao Qin was startled and immediately understood what Shi Dayong meant. At the same time, Guo Yi felt very uncomfortable. He was a good person, but he had to wear a mask on his face. How could it not make people sad?
"I wonder what kind of mask the general wants?" Of course, a mask would not trouble Lao Qin, who was a blacksmith. The problem was that he didn't know what kind of mask Shi Dayong wanted.
"Well..." Shi Dayong thought for a while and said casually: "It should look more majestic, and it should be worn appropriately. You can take care of the rest yourself. But be quick, the sooner the better, the general is in a hurry.
Wear."[
With the clear request, Lao Qin knew it well and nodded: "Okay, I will do it for the general immediately." After saying that, he bowed and retreated respectfully.
After Lao Qin left, Guo Yi wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say it. When Shi Dayong saw it, he smiled bitterly, thinking that in the past, Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, was too handsome, so he was afraid that he would not be able to scare the enemy.
I just gave myself a ferocious bronze mask. Today, I, Shi Dayong, was afraid of scaring people because I was too ugly, so I gave myself a mask. The same mask, but a different life.
After sighing with emotion, he remembered the battle at Daling River and asked Guo Yi: "Are the reinforcements coming?"
Guo Yidao: "The reinforcements have arrived a long time ago. The general was shot that day. If the reinforcements had not arrived in time, I would not have been able to save the general and return to the city."
"oh?"
Upon hearing that it was reinforcements who had rescued him, Shi Dayong quickly asked: "How many people came, and the leader is Sun Jinglue?"
Guo Yi shook his head: "The imperial court sent 40,000 troops from Guanmenji Town to help, but the leader was not Sun Jinglue, but Zhang Chun of the Military Preparation Road. Master Zhang came to see you during the days when you were unconscious."
"Lord Zhang Chun Zhang?"
Shi Dayong was slightly startled: Who is this person and why have I never heard of him?
With a thought in his mind, he hurriedly asked: "Has Mr. Zhang ever come to the rescue?"
"Today is the day when the army will send out reinforcements." Guo Yi turned around and looked outside at the sky, and affirmed: "I'm afraid they have already left the city."
……………
At the top of Jinzhou City, Zhang Chun, who had drank the wine for the expedition, looked at the tens of thousands of troops behind him who were about to leave the city, and couldn't help but sigh: "If the Ministry of War had not insisted on me, I would never have come to lead this army. The commander of the army is not only the manager, but also the commander-in-chief."
, which one of the others can take on the important task?"
Hearing this, Sun Chengzong said sincerely: "What the old man said is wrong. The student is already in his twilight years, and it is rare for him to be a commander in ancient times. This is a taboo for military strategists. It will only increase the morale of the army. With the old man sitting in the army, the student will feel more at ease."
Zhang Chun shook his head and said sincerely: "Jing Lue is too modest. In terms of age, I am older than Jing Lue. If you say I am old, I am afraid that I am even worse. To be honest, I also have a chance of winning this expedition, but
I'm afraid I'll disappoint the emperor's expectations."
Qiu Hejia saw at the side that it was getting late, but Zhang Chun seemed to have no intention of leaving yet, so he quickly reminded: "My lords, the time has come, let's ask the army to leave the city. We will use all our Liaodong elite in Dalinghe City, and then
If it's too late, fifteen thousand soldiers will starve to death."
Zhang Chun nodded and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Qiu, I will leave immediately and I will not make any mistakes." After saying that, he sent an order to leave the city.
Sun Chengzong suddenly asked him: "The Tatars are cunning and good at fighting in the field. I wonder if the old gentleman has any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"
Zhang Chun didn't think much and blurted out: "Yuan Chonghuan's success lies in his persistence; Mangui's defeat lies in the wave battle. The Jurchen's strength is not cavalry and archery. The Art of War says that compared with infantry, one chariot can be as strong as ten infantry.
, which can be compared with the cavalry of ten cavalry. If we want to break the siege of Daling River now, we should avoid my incompetence in field battles and form a battle formation with chariots to make it a mobile city. Our army slowly advances in the city, although it is an attack.
, but it is very different from defending. When the Jurchens invade, just like defending a city, use firearms and crossbows to shoot at them to push them forward, and eventually they can reach the Daling River city."
Hearing this, Sun Chengzong sighed in admiration: "The strict car formation can indeed make up for my weakness in field battles, but Huang Taiji is not an idle person, and the old gentleman must not take it lightly."
Zhang Chunwei nodded: "I had known that the slave chief had many tricks, so I would pay more attention to this battle. It is getting late, so I will say goodbye to you two and ask you to wait for the good news in the city!" After that, he turned around and ordered his relatives.
Soldier: "Send my command, and the three armies will move forward!"
On August 17, the fourth year of Chongzhen, the Shaoqing of Taipusi, Zhang Chun, the Taoist Supervisor of Military Preparation, led the generals Wu Xiang and Song Wei, and the deputy generals Zhang Jifu, Man Ku, Wang Zhijing, Zhang Hongmo, Yang Huazheng, Xue Dahu and others led 40,000 people.
The army, with two thousand chariots, moved toward the Daling River in a mighty manner.
