At this moment, the fighting at the gate of the city has stopped. The remaining soldiers of the Li tribe kept begging in Li language in panic. Although they didn't know what they were talking about specifically, they were probably begging these soldiers to spare their lives and beg for mercy.
The captain with thick eyebrows and big eyes who took the lead in charging into the city put the blood-stained knife into the scabbard. Only then did he take the helmet in his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead casually.
Although he can still fight for another half hour, after all, he has become a captain. He still needs this physical strength, but it also takes some effort.
On the battlefield, even for a moment, one has to fight with one's life. A sword has no eyesight. No matter how high one's personal strength is, he may capsize in the gutter if he is not careful. There is a saying that "a lion fights a rabbit, but it also requires all one's strength."
, Underestimating the enemy's carelessness is a taboo for military strategists."
Maybe the captain hadn't read many books and didn't know the famous saying "The lion beats the rabbit", but he knew that he must not show any mercy to the enemy on the battlefield. This was what he had learned when he was first recruited into the army.
The lieutenant said to him,
He already understood this when he first followed General Zhuge Ke, who was then the general of Fuyue and the governor of Danyang, to conquer the Shanyue tribe.
At that time, he was still ignorant and was dragged onto the battlefield to fight the Shanyue people. If his captain had not saved him desperately, he would not be alive and sitting in the position of captain today. In the blink of an eye, today is already
Many years have passed, and the captain at that time is no longer there. He died in a battle against Cao Wei.
Therefore, when he was training his soldiers on weekdays, he would also take the trouble to talk about the cliche saying that when you go to the battlefield, you must use all your strength and not be soft.
Even so, many of his soldiers still died on the battlefield, and fell helplessly in a pool of blood in front of him. He saw it, but he was still powerless to do anything about the death of most of his soldiers.
After all, he was probably under siege by the enemy at that time and had too much time to take care of himself. This is war. Countless people will be used as cannon fodder and die because of this, while the few who survive can continue to join the army like him.
Climb some on the middle level,
The upper echelons of the military could hold such a high position as the general, which they could not even imagine. Not to mention the intelligence, even the family background behind the general and the connections in the court were something they did not have.
The captain rested for a moment and then drew out his long sword. He spurred his horse and continued to charge towards the dirt street in front of him, shouting loudly: "Soldiers, follow me and go to the county government office to capture the Li leader alive in this county. We will be there when the time comes."
A great achievement!"
For a moment, the sound of horse hooves "ta-da-da" rolled up puffs of smoke and dust on the street, because there has not been a good and hearty rain in Suntan and nearby areas in the past few days.
Most of the Li people here are Yu Li, a branch of the Li people.
"侾" is the Chinese translation of Li language and means "people living in peripheral areas".
Men are accustomed to have their hair tied on their foreheads, wearing short-sleeved unbuttoned clothes, and trapezoidal and rectangular loincloths; women have their hair tied down on their necks, with loose tops, and short skirts. On both sides of the street, they have just rushed to the city gate.
At that time, I also saw a few people on the street,
At this moment, they all ran back to their respective nests on both sides of the street. Then they heard a "thumping" sound and closed the wooden doors tightly. They were very afraid of coming into contact with these ferocious and cruel people from outside the island.
At first glance, these nests are all made of red and white vines and covered with thatch or sunflower leaves.
It is rare to see tile-roofed houses inhabited by Han people on both sides of the street. The smell of blood and betel nut are intertwined in the air. Since arriving on the island, they and the locals have also begun to chew the betel nut.
After all, this betel nut is a good thing to use to cure the miasma on the island. There is no harm in preventing it first. Although the betel nut is light to chew and tastes very bitter and has no chewy texture, in order to save their lives, chewing the betel nut does not count.
What.
The Li people like to chew betel nut. Regular consumption of betel nut also has the effect of preventing, curing and beautifying diseases. Therefore, betel nut is regarded as a food for health and longevity. The way to eat it is to cut the betel nut into petals, wrap them in leaves and add lime paste.
Put it and shredded tobacco into your mouth and chew it carefully. It can make people look red and energetic as if they have drunk wine. However, you should not eat too much. It is still very good for medicinal purposes.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the central area of social civilization in our country has always been the Central Plains. For most of the period, the social and economic prosperity of the northern region of our country exceeded that of the southern region. The biggest reason is that many places in the south are considered "miasma lands".
Suitable for human habitation and production life.
In ancient times, it referred to diseases caused by miasma, so miasma places refer to places that are easily invaded by miasma and cause diseases.
So what kind of gas does miasma refer to? It is generally believed to refer to the unpleasant gas released after the corpses of animals and plants or the decay of dead grass leaves. In the south, the temperature is higher, it is humid and rainy, and the species of animals and plants are richer, so it is also known as miasma.
It is easy to produce miasma. In ancient times, miasma was considered a poisonous gas.
However, the concentration of this gas produced in the mountains and forests in the south is not enough to make people living nearby or going in and out of the mountains and forests sick.
The diseases caused by miasma infection mentioned by the ancients were mostly caused by mosquito bites, physical discomfort in hot and humid weather, eating unclean food, etc. Most of them were caused by insect-borne infectious diseases such as mosquito bites.
The weather in the south is hot and humid, which makes it easy for mosquitoes to breed. The density of mosquito distribution is unimaginable for people living in the north. Most of the soldiers of Wu State are in the south, and they have some understanding of betel nut's ability to relieve miasma, so they will not be sick as soon as they arrive on this island.
The entire army was wiped out due to miasma.
As early as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered South Vietnam, he used betel nut to relieve the miasma in the army. After the success, he built the Fuli Palace in Xi'an and planted a wide range of southern trees, including betel nut. This matter is also recorded in "Historical Records".
The captain led the people to continue along the street to the county government office in the city. Along the way, they also saw many single wooden utensils and bamboo and rattan baskets woven by the Li people hanging under the eaves of their nest houses.
In the tradition of the Li people, single wooden utensils have always been regarded as a "totem" and a natural ecological concept. Any utensils they use strive to be "single wooden utensils". These utensils can be roughly divided into two types: daily utensils and production utensils.
Major categories.
Single wooden tools are made by hollowing out, gouging, carving, whittling and scraping natural wood into various utensils. Phoebe and other tree species are often used. One of the principles is that no auxiliary materials such as nails are used. Occasionally, combinations are used.
It adopts a mortise and tenon structure. The Li canoe is the most famous wooden vessel.
After a cup of tea, the captain led his people to the front of the county government office, which had been in disrepair for a long time. The gate of the county government office was closed tightly. The leader of the Li ethnic group was hiding under the wooden bed in the backyard of the county government office and shivering. There were only dozens of Li people.
The soldiers arrived at the gate of the county government and wanted to make a final struggle...
