The Five Thousand Tongshun Army finally successfully returned to the Bosten Lake station where Yan Bing met with Emperor Xuan Si according to the previous route.
The camp has now completely become a logistics supply transit station for the Tongshun Army. This is also the product obtained by the two people discussing strategic deployment in the coach's tent. It is stationed by ten thousand old-fashioned legions equipped with magic crossbows, and other troops are relying on the continuous transport of ammunition from the temporary workshop located in Lanzhou. The Tongshun Army then pulls the ammunition that needs to be supplied to Valo.
The supplies transported by this 5,000 people are mainly flower bullets...
After the battle in Almaty, although the Tongshun Army did not suffer any casualties, it achieved unprecedented success. This was undoubtedly mainly due to the deterrence and destructive power of the artillery, but the price was also extremely huge...
In this battle, more than 2,000 rounds of lime bombs and flowering bombs were stimulated, and more than 2,000 rounds were used up! Half of the entire shell reserve of the baggage battalion was used up. Therefore, while Yan Bing led more than 10,000 Tongshun troops to carry out city defense construction in Almaty, he specially dispatched these 5,000 people to transport a large number of shells from the territory to Almaty, and drew the mountains, rivers and rivers they passed through in the route of the army into a map and sent them to this temporary camp.
"I heard that you have achieved great results this time? Beheading more than 50,000 yuan?" The defending general in the Bosten Lake camp asked while handing Ren Keqi a cup of tea.
Ren Keqi smiled slightly and waved his hand.
"There are only less than 10,000 real Varo soldiers, there is nothing to brag about..."
"No difference! Yadasi (Uyghur: friend)! These Varo people have been tormenting us for more than fifty years! Lao Luozi, who was running to our family and robbed, is now less than seventy or sixty! This is still a border town! In the city, either their son or their grandson!! One of them is counted as one! It should be killed!" Halibai finished speaking, lifted the tea bowl and took a sip, with a hint of cold light in his eyes.
Halibai... a middle-aged Uyghur man born and raised in the Western Regions. He originally had his own vineyard and his home on this land until the year when he was fourteen! The Varo people invaded the Western Regions on a large scale, and his parents also died one after another in this disaster under the butcher knife of the Varo people!
In the end, this surviving fourteen-year-old boy, with his strong perseverance and deep hatred towards Varo, took his ten-year-old sister and walked thousands of miles with the refugee team before finally entering the pass...
In order to make a living and to make his sister survive, he stole, robbed, and cheated. As long as he could get food, he did everything. In the end, he even touched the military camp! Just for a few pieces of naan bread... he was discovered by soldiers and arrested in front of hundreds of households.
But the Baihu didn't take it seriously and planned to hit him ten boards as usual, but Haribai knelt on the ground, begging for forgiveness, hoping to let him go this time, not to hit him on the board, crying and begging for mercy, burst into ears, making the remaining soldiers move and look at each other, not knowing what to do.
When Zhang Baihu saw his appearance, he was very contemptuous, so he walked up to him and said in a deep voice: "Men! You are wrong! You have to accept the punishment! How are you crying here? Are you so afraid of the bitterness of flesh?"
Hearing this, Hari Bai, who was only fourteen years old, immediately stopped crying, widened his eyes, stared at Zhang Baihu without blinking and said, "I'm not afraid of pain! I'm afraid that I can't get out of the ground for more than ten days! My sister will starve to death! Is this good? You beat me ten more military sticks! Just give me a few naan so that my sister can survive these few days! I beg you!! Otherwise! Add twenty more sticks? Thirty sticks are also done!"
Haribai looked at the Baihu helplessly, with numbers constantly overlapping in his mouth, but the Baihu suddenly laughed...
"Boy! Is it so easy to handle military law? thirty sticks? thirty sticks, you will lose your life! Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Not afraid!" Harry Bai went back without thinking, but after a while... he shook his head again and whispered: "But I'm afraid I'll die... My sister will starve to death..."
Hearing this, Zhang Baihu slowly put away the smile on his face, looked at the boy again, and after a while of silence, he waved his hand and said, "Give him ten baked naan! Let him go!"
Several soldiers immediately laughed, rubbed his head and said, "You guy is lucky! Let's go, take me with naan..."
Haribai was confused throughout the whole process. As the soldiers pushed and pushed out of the tent, he heard the voice of the hundred households just now coming from behind.
"Boy! Stealing is not a skill! If you want to take the right path, come to join the army! I will take you into the camp with an exception!"
It was this sentence from this Baihu that changed Halibai's fate from then on...
Since joining the army, he has gradually grown from a young man who is younger than anyone else and thinner than anyone else to a brave and warlike young man! He was also accepted as an adopted son by the Baihu who was taken into the camp by the Baihu who was originally a family, and his sister was naturally accepted as an adopted daughter by the Zhang Baihu who had been married for many years and had never had children.
The old couple, who had been without children for more than ten years, suddenly had both children, so naturally loved these two miserable children very much and regarded them as their own. Later, although the brother and sister each got married and had children, in order to repay the raising of the old couple, they still lived with the old couple, and the whole family was happy, which also allowed Halibai to find the warmth of the home he had lost...
Until…three years ago…
Valo attacked Jiayuguan again! In this battle, Old Man Zhang, who had been promoted from a hundred households to a thousand households, was killed in battle... Halibai also added another strong point to his hatred for Valo!
In the next two years, he spent all his savings over the years and bribed his relationship everywhere, but not for promotion! It was just to be able to transfer himself to the front line of the battlefield! He could kill a few more Varo soldiers to avenge his dead adoptive father and biological parents!
But the Zhang family army, who was neither the direct line nor the backward equipment, was eventually transferred to the border line and became a defender at a logistics transfer station. Therefore, at this moment, Halibai was extremely envious of the thousands of households who were the Tongshun army... and even had a bad idea...
After a banquet for several Tongshun soldiers with good wine and dishes, Haribai took Ren Keqi aside with his drunkenness, secretly took out a silver note of 100 taels from his arms and put it in Ren Keqi's hand...
When Ren Keqi saw this silver note, he was awakened by half the wine. He whispered to Haribai with a panic look on his face: "Brother, what are you doing? Take it back quickly! If you have something to say!! Don't make things difficult for brothers!"
While smiling and shaking his head, Harry Bai slowly pushed the bill back and said his purpose in a deep voice.
"Brother, I have no other intentions, don't panic first," Harry Bai was already shaking his drink at this time, but he was still awake, so he explained with gestures: "I just want you to help me do something very small! Help me talk to Duke Ding, and transfer me... into your Tongshun Army, do you?"
"Ah?" Ren Keqi was stunned and thought to himself, this was a trivial matter!?? But he still underestimated the other party's attitude. The following words made him almost sit on the ground in shock.
"You have fought so many battles! There will always be a few brothers sacrificed! There are a few vacancies? Let me go! I don't want any seat!! I can be a soldier!! I don't dare to say anything else! When I fight, I don't want my life! I'm definitely a qualified pawn!! This... is not a difficult brother, right?" Hariba said, patting Ren Keqi's breastplate, with a firm look and a serious expression, and no joking look at all.
But Ren Keqi was almost crazy when he heard this! Not only did he go crazy! He even seriously suspected that the other party was crazy at this moment!! While forcing the silver note back, he shouted loudly: "You have become a general!! You have to be a soldier in our place!??Brother! Have you drunk too much!!!"
"I didn't drink too much-!!" Harrybai turned the anger that had been suppressed in his chest for many years into a roar and shouted out. Their quarrel completely attracted the attention of several other school officials in the tent and looked here.
Halibai turned around and looked at the confused eyes of everyone. Realizing that he had lost his composure just now, he smiled at everyone, pointed at several of his school officials, and explained aloud: "He! His family is also from the Western Regions, just like me! His parents are both dead at the hands of the Varo people! And he is also! He is the only one left in the family! And he and him! We are all!!!
We all want to rush into the Valor Palace! We are willing to eat their so-called Khan alive and eat them alive!!! Let alone be a soldier!! Even if I turn me into a shell! Blast into their capital!! I will do it too!!!”
After Halibai said that, he looked at Ren Keqi quietly. The hundreds of households who were named by Halibai just now also looked over with red eyes and silently. Several Tongshun army thousands of households who were traveling with him looked at each other in a glance, and they all roughly understood the purpose of the banquet...
Ren Keqi slowly glanced at everyone's eyes, was silent for a long time, and finally nodded, bowed to everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, I! Try my best!!"
As soon as these words came out, the originally silent camp immediately became jubilant. Many school officials toasted to the Tongshun army soldiers beside them, chatting and playing, as if they had lost their thoughts that had been suppressed for many years. The atmosphere was even more lively than before...
