Water Margin Survival

"Oh, is it General Ding?"

Hearing this, Wang Lun looked at a big man who was tied up with five flowers, and saw that his face was connected to his neck, covered with old scars.Wang Lun was a little surprised. He thought that except for the continuous use of troops in the west by the Great Song Dynasty, the imperial guards in the interior had very little actual combat experience. He couldn't help but looked at Ding Desun and said, "Have you been on the battlefield before?"

Ding Desun raised his head, as if he didn't bother to answer this question, but the general who was brought along with him on the other side was full of dissatisfaction, and replied loudly: "My general came from the Western Army and fought against the Xia bandits for more than [-] years. He was seriously injured twice and was dying, and there were countless minor injuries! He was only transferred to Xiangzhou half a year ago, and he has only been here for more than a month!"

Wang Lun was awed when he heard the words, and immediately thought of a poem specially written for him, and couldn't help saying: "The deputy general of Yunzhou, his face is full of disasters, and his whole body is covered with wounds. Look around, levy and kill, yellow sand is rising. Flying on the horse, piercing the wind and fighting in all directions."

Hearing this, Qin Ming thought that his elder brother most likely wanted to recruit this person.Huang Xin went to see Ding Desun's reaction, and saw that his raised head suddenly turned around, looked at Wang Lun and said, "Are you talking about me?"

"Who else is Zhang Dujian's lieutenant general? Although Gong Wang's tattoo is good, it's not as glorious as the general's solid scar!" Wang Lun nodded and replied, and immediately gestured to Huang Xin: " Untie General Ding!"

Huang Xin nodded, and drew out the short blade to cut the rope. Nading Desun got his ass, first looked at Wang Lun for a while, then looked at Qin Ming and Huang Xin, and said, "The two of you are not like the green forest tricks, but you are still there. Please tell me your name so that I can know whose hands I lost!"

"This general, Huang Xin, this is my benevolent officer, Thunderbolt Qin Ming!" Huang Xin saw that this man led the army to defeat, but he was also brave, so he didn't hide it from him.

Ding Desun sighed, and said: "It turns out that it's Qingzhou's Director Qin and Huang Dujian, so I won't be wronged! No wonder I know Enzhou Ma Wudi, and the official document is so authentic!"

Qin Ming and Huang Xin looked at each other and laughed loudly, Qin Ming tried to persuade him: "Hero, you have lost a battalion of soldiers and horses, and you will be punished when you go back. Why don't you go up to Liangshan with us and do justice for the sky together, but you are not happy? "

Ding Desun fell into deep thought when he heard the words, and said to himself: "Nowadays, the world is turbid, and the army only cares about relationships. If I died on the battlefield that day, none of the officers would shed a tear for me. There is really nothing worthwhile in this army." As a memento. But when I first came to Yunzhou, I didn’t have much time, and I met two good brothers who were like-minded, and the prison guard treated me like a confidant brother. If I voted for Liangshan at this time, I would definitely become an enemy of him. How can you do something like pigs and dogs?"

Thinking of this, he made up his mind and said, "It's not that I don't know how to praise, but if I vote for Liangshan, I will definitely be enemies with my two brothers." Such things as "he said he was a brother, and now he is the enemy" Little brother really can't do it, please don't try to force others to make things difficult. If you want to kill a few, just kill them!"

"In that case, let's go!" Wang Lun said unexpectedly.

Ding Desun looked at Wang Lun in surprise, as if he couldn't believe it, for fear that he had auditory hallucinations.Qin Ming and Huang Xin thought of their experiences that day, looked at each other with admiration, and nodded secretly.Huang Xin saw the hesitation in Ding Desun's heart, and said, "My brother said one sentence, one sentence, General Ding, please go back!"

Hearing this, Ding Desun didn't hesitate anymore, bowed to Wang Lun, then Qin Ming and Huang Xin, and said, "My lieutenant general was transferred back from the Western Army with me not long ago, and he was born and died with me. , saved my life on the battlefield, can you pay me back together?"

Wang Lun looked at the man who told the story of Ding Desun just now, and nodded to Huang Xin. Seeing this, Huang Xin stepped forward and cut the rope, saying: "Follow your general!"

The assistant general found it incredible, but he didn't want to miss the opportunity, so he bowed to thank him. Wang Lun ordered: "Return the armor, weapons, and horses of these two, and you can't let Huluo Pingchuan go back!" After Lun finished speaking, he clasped his fists at Ding Desun, said good-bye, and went to visit the wounded soldiers.

Qin Ming chuckled and followed Wang Lun.Huang Xin stayed behind to be the host, and ordered horses and weapons to be delivered to the two of them. Na Ding Sun looked at Wang Lun's back, sighed, and said, "I really don't want to meet you all in battle!"

"I don't want to either! It's just that I'm in the rivers and lakes and I can't help myself. Brother, let's go!" Huang Xin said goodbye.

Ding Desun thanked him immediately, and took his confidant general to the southeast.Huang Xin turned around to catch up with Wang Lun and Qin Ming, and said with a smile, "I think my brother behaves like a famous general in the past!"

Wang Lun smiled, thinking that Huang Xin should not be the kind of flatterer, and there must be something behind his words, so he immediately asked, "Then who do you think I look like?"

"But let the Dragon City Flying General stay, don't teach Huma to go to the Yin Mountain!" Huang Xin laughed, "It's the Flying General Li Guang!"

Seeing Qin Ming looking at him in confusion, Huang Xin explained with a smile: "The parachutist is said to be invincible in archery, but when he encounters an unsure target, he never shoots an arrow, so he can shoot invincible arrows." False hair, a hundred hits. My little brother sees that my brother invites people to the mountain. If he is not sure, he will never open his mouth. Once he opens his mouth, all the invited people will go to the mountain. From this point of view, it is not very similar!"

Qin Ming saw that it resonated and said with a smile: "A hero like Wu Song walked with us all the way in Qingzhou, and I never saw my brother invite him to go up the mountain! And this Ding Desun, how did my brother know that he would not go up the mountain? ?”

Wang Lun couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "I was just about to invite this shot tiger to go up the mountain. I didn't want General Qin to block me and invite him first, otherwise my legend of invincibility would really be broken!"

This common joke in later generations made Qin Ming and Huang Xin laugh so hard that they couldn't straighten up for a long time.

In fact, Wang Lun really thought that Ding Desun would be invited to go up the mountain this time, but this person's behavior was quite unexpected.

In the original trajectory, the main general Zhang Qing surrendered first, and then the two deputy generals Ding Desun and Gong Wang also surrendered, and there was no second word.Just judging from Ding Desun's performance just now, they should not have a deep obsession with the court, but they would rather die than live up to their brother's loyalty.

From this point of view, if I want these three people to go up the mountain, I must invite these three people together at the same time.Only in this way, the war is inevitable.Wang Lun sighed secretly, and asked, "How about the casualties of our army in this battle?"

Seeing that Wang Lun didn't ask about the capture but about the casualties, Huang Xin was in awe, restrained his smile, and said: "Our army charged just right, leaving the opponent with no time to shoot arrows, and ended up fighting at close range. Our army took up all the troops, With the advantage of weapons and initiative, 21 brothers were killed in battle in the end, but there were not a few injured ones. There were no less than a hundred people who needed to stop training to recuperate, and there were more than 200 people with minor bump injuries that did not affect the marching training!"

The experience of a cavalryman is the same as the flight time accumulated by the pilots of later generations. Most of the people selected by Qin Ming's battalion were brothers from the [-]-horse army that went to Jinghu together that day.

In the past few months, except for not sleeping on the horse, everyone basically didn't even get off the horse for eating and drinking. How difficult it is for the cavalry to come!

"There are so many wounded, accounting for almost half of the entire battalion, which shows that everyone is not skilled enough in riding! After returning, we still need to strengthen our training! In the past three months, as long as no one else comes to make trouble, my cottage will be fine. It is a big move, the two of you will train your army and horses hard after you go back, and strive to become a strong team as soon as possible! Don't lose the title of the 'Thunderbolt' battalion!" Wang Lun ordered.

Qin Ming and Huang Xin were stunned for a moment, and it took a while for them to wake up. Didn't my brother give the camp a name? Immediately, the two big guys were overjoyed and said together: "Thank you, brother, for giving the name to the camp. I will never disappoint my brother's high expectations. !"

"In one battle, a commander of a horse army with a horse distribution rate of more than [-]% can be eaten by the imperial army, but he is worthy of this 'Thunderbolt' battalion!" Wang Lun first affirmed the achievements of Qin Ming and Huang Xin, and then said: "Fortunately The soldiers and horses of this battalion were not transferred from the Western Army along with Ding Desun, otherwise we would have hit hard bones in the first battle. I hope that the "Pili" battalion will develop a good set of teeth soon, and let him be hard and soft in the future. Just bite him to pieces!"

Qin Ming and Huang Xin looked at each other and said firmly, "Don't you dare to do your best!"

Wang Lun nodded and asked, "How about their casualties?"

"Among the horse troops under Ding Desun's battalion, 170 people died, 270 nine people were captured, more than 380 pairs of bows and arrows were seized, 330 horses were still usable, more than 120 pairs of good leather armor, and 330 pieces of broken armor Deputy Yu, also seized about [-] taels of military pay that the opponent carried with him!" Huang Xin picked up the key report, such as spears and sabers, which are not lacking in the cottage, have not yet been counted.

Wang Lun nodded, thinking that apart from the wounded, the battle loss ratio in this battle was more than one to eight, which should be a very satisfactory result.Wang Lun lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Keep these captives for now, even if there are people who want to join my cottage, don't join them for the time being, they will all be in one place, and they will be useful later !"

Both Qin Ming and Huang Xin nodded. At this time, Huang Xin said: "Brother, the reason why the opponent is so ruthless is because we took the initiative and forced them to fight us. It's just that it's impossible to do this again and again in the future." I have successfully approached the enemy, according to my younger brother, I will assign all the bows and arrows captured this time to my camp! After all, lame legs can never go far!" Qin Mingjian said, looking at Wang Lun expectantly.

How could Wang Lun not know what they were thinking, as the owner of a village, he naturally knew it well, the most lacking weapons in the village now were bows and crossbows, and there were only so many people under Tang Long's hands, and he had to build armor and Forging weapons and forcing them to manufacture bows and crossbows in large quantities is difficult for the strong.

Therefore, in the dozen or so battalions that had just been formed, there was an extreme shortage of archers and crossbowmen.At this time, there were [-] soldiers in the cottage, and the total number of archers and crossbowmen was less than [-]%. Compared with the situation where more than [-]% of the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty were bowmen and crossbowmen, it formed two extremes.

"The captured horses should be supplemented by your battalion's losses first, and the excess will be sent to Brother Deng Fei! As for the 380 pairs of bows and arrows, [-] pairs will be kept in the 'Thunderbolt' battalion. We will equip the two men and horses first. That said, archers not only need to learn bow skills, but also have to be as good at long weapons as other people, otherwise, when a close battle is approaching, they will be like their opponents tonight, and they can only sit and wait for death!" Wang Lun instructed.

"Brother, don't worry, our cottage has enough food and drink every day, which is much better than the food in the imperial army. When everyone is full, they will naturally have energy. In addition, although the soldiers don't have monthly pay, they are rewarded without shortage, and the distribution is fair. Everyone is motivated Absolutely, as long as the little brother is given enough time, the 'Thunderbolt' battalion will definitely take shape!" Huang Xin promised.

Wang Lun nodded, and said: "Calculate the list of the brothers who died in battle, and ask Brother Du Qian to send someone to send the pension, and you also send brothers to go with them. This will form a practice. In the future, the pension will be paid by the two. In addition, the brothers are asked to clean up the battlefield, and all the dead horses must be taken back, pickled and processed, and made into rations for the brothers who will go down the mountain in the future to carry and eat!"

Qin Ming and Huang Xin took it very seriously when they heard the words, and they both said: "Let someone clean it up! Now our Shanzhai family has a big business and a lot of expenses. The place in this province really shouldn't be wasted!" (To be continued.)
