Chapter 185 Drink this bowl full
Xia Chuantao entered the water. Because the hole was not far from the water surface, he quickly floated to the water surface. He fluttered a few times but failed to let the wooden board move forward a little.
Fortunately, Mit also floated up at this time. Although he was not good at swimming, he still knew how to make the board move. With his help, Xia Chuantao also rowed to the other side.
After a while, they arrived on the other side. Hebei Daying of course sent people to pick him up on the shore. Seeing someone coming, they pulled him over before they could reach the shore. He pulled him and said, "Thank you so much for the hard work, you all can't swim."
"It's hard enough." Xia Chuantao couldn't help but say after getting ashore: "If I had to cross the river every time I came to Daying, Hebei to rest, I would rather sleep in the tunnel."
"It won't be like this all the time." The person who responded to them smiled and said, "In order to make the great cannibals mistakenly think that the soldiers in the city have no reinforcements and are short of food and clothing, they cannot now know that there is an authentic tunnel in the city of Luzhou that can reach the Yili River."
"But sooner or later they will know. After the Great Cannibal knows, we will be able to openly drive the boat into the river to meet you across the river. The Great Cannibal has no ship in his hands, and there is no suitable wood for making it, so it cannot be stopped."
"We don't know if you should hope that the great cannibals will know soon, or that the great cannibals will know later." Danff, who could swim by himself, said with a smile.
"It's the same if it's early or late." The man smiled again, "With our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and in a familiar place like Luzhou City, can they still beat the big cannibals?"
"Haha!" Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.
While speaking, everyone across the river had already changed into dry clothes. The person who responded to the river instructed again: "Today is the first time you have crossed the river. If you have new clothes given by the government, next time you cross the river, prepare a coat in advance, wrap it in oil paper and bring it over. The same goes for Luzhou City."
"I understand." The team agreed and was about to take everyone to the camp.
But at this moment, a song suddenly came from not far away. Listening to the sound, it was a little girl singing, with a beautiful voice, and the song soothes people's mood.
"Who is singing? Is it the master's family? It's audible. This woman is very young, so young?" Danfu couldn't help asking.
"No." The person who responded said: "This is a little girl named Danniang."
"Dan Niang?" Renault immediately shouted in surprise.
"Dan Niang, what is her full name? Who was she originally from?" The Cao brothers also asked, and Song Wu also showed an inquiring look.
"He is called Danniang. She is a Turkic native and lives in Suiye City. Her real name is Danniya."
"She, how could she stay in Hebei Daying?" Renault was even more surprised. Dania moved out of Yuluzhou City in December last year to Hebei Daying. Although it was delayed by the sudden snow that followed, it should not be in Hebei Daying now.
"Do you know her? Oh, you should be from Suiye City. This little girl is said to have a restaurant in Suiye City. You may have seen it quite a bit."
The person who responded continued to tell the reason for her stay. "It is said that her family died in Suye City and was taken from Suye City all the way to Yuluzhou City by their neighbors. But after arriving at Yuluzhou City, the neighbors who brought her also joined the army."
"Fortunately, she met a kind-hearted person from our local area and lived in her home. Later, the government moved most of the people out of the city, and she moved out of this family. She was going to move to one of those small towns, but for some reason, she stayed in the camp and stayed in the camp without moving out."
"If a little girl is not accompanied by an adult man, it will be a lot of danger, so she stayed there. Because her family was killed by the Great Cannibal, she hated the Great Cannibal very much and hoped to contribute to the defeat of the Great Cannibal."
"But she, a little girl, didn't even have the strength to wash clothes for the soldiers, and couldn't find a way to do her work. Later, she sang at home and was heard by the soldiers passing by. The soldiers said that her singing was good, which could relieve her mood and relieve her fatigue. So she had a wonderful idea, and stood in front of the military camp every morning and evening singing for the soldiers who were coming and going."
"The generals don't care?" Renault asked.
When asked, a feeling of guilt surged in Renault's heart. Dania brought to Luzhou City by him, and he thought he had the responsibility to take care of her. However, Dania had to stay in Hebei Daying and could not go to a safer place, which was caused by his failure to fulfill her responsibility for taking care of her.
"The general thought that this was not good and wanted to take care of it, but the soldiers who came and went were not happy. Although the little girl was a Turkic person, she was not very beautiful, but she was still 70% or 80% of her eyes. It would be pleasing to see a beautiful little girl every day, right?"
"And she can inspire morale when standing in front of the camp gate, and the singing is really nice, so she was allowed. The Protector even arranged a guard to protect her. You can't say that, the guard she arranged also played a role. There are many scumbags in the army, and some people want to plot against the little girl. If it weren't for the guard arranged by the Protector, they would have been successful." The responding person said.
"Who is scum? I can't beat him to death!" Renault shouted immediately. He always thought that Dania's brother was "dead" in Jieshan City because he was "dead" and felt that he should take good care of Dania. If Dania was bullied by others, he would never forgive him; even if he failed to bully, he could not allow it.
"That's it!" The Cao brothers also shouted: "Which scumbag, let's beat him up!" Dania was well-behaved and cute, with a sweet appearance. No one who had seen her many times disliked her. Now she was almost bullied, and they couldn't bear it at all.
"It's all a thing in the past." The person who responded was unwilling to make a group fight because of his extra words, and said hurriedly.
He was very persuasive, and only then did the few people stop talking about beating people. Renault was anxious to see Dania, and walked faster and walked in front of the team. Fortunately, the team was also the one who escaped from Thunder Ye City, and he also knew some of his relationship with Dania, so he didn't mind.
Renault soon walked to the camp gate and glanced at Dania standing beside her singing. Compared to more than two months ago, she was a little bigger, taller, and looked a little better.
"Dania!" Renault shouted.
"Brother Lei?" Dania subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and her face immediately became surprised and happy when she heard someone calling her.
"It's me." Renault walked over and said to her.
"Brother Lei!" Dania shouted again, and her voice contained more joy than she had just now.
The soldiers of the past suddenly glared at Renault, "Who are you? Why can Dan Niang be so happy to see you?" Some even held the weapons in his hand tightly.
But Renault and Dania would not care about what others thought. "Brother Lei, it's great that you are still alive!" Dania said: "I heard that the siege of the Great Cannibals in the first five days was very fierce, and many people were seriously injured in the battle. I'm afraid you will die in battle. Now you are still alive and have complete arms and legs. This is really great!"
"Good luck." Renault said sincerely. Those five days were indeed very tragic, with many serious injuries killed in battle. Many people had high martial arts skills and were injured head-on and were hit by a stone. Even if the stones were flying all over the sky, they could not hit the target, and were shot down with an arrow. Wait, luck is really the most important thing for him to survive.
And not only was he lucky, but the other seven people who were on the same fire were also lucky. Everyone had been injured by a hawk, a big food soldier, and a stone, but none of them were seriously injured. Everyone thought it was extremely magical.
"I'm all in the past," Renault didn't want to recall the fierce fight, and changed the subject: "How long have you been standing in front of the camp gate and singing?"
"It's not long, only six days." Dania replied: "Before that, there were not many soldiers entering and leaving the military camp every day. We ordinary people who stayed in the camp gathered west of the camp and could not see the soldiers."
"On the day when the Great Cannibal attacked the city, the soldiers in the camp began to be frequently mobilized, and many relatives who stayed in the camp went to visit their relatives. Two of them happened to hear me singing in the house and praise me, so I had the idea of singing in front of the camp gate to inspire everyone's morale."
"Aunt Zhuo didn't object?" Renault asked.
"Aunt Zhuo naturally objected, but logically speaking, I was just a tenant. Although I am now living under someone else's roof, she doesn't care about me. She advised me for a few words and said nothing, it would be fine if I didn't listen."
"Would the soldiers coming and going to listen to your singing?" Renault asked again.
"Yes." Dania immediately replied: "Most of people are very happy! They applauded me, and some people sent flowers, but I refused." As she said that, she couldn't help but laugh.
"I heard that there are people who want to treat you badly..."
"It's all over." Dania immediately interrupted. Since the matter has passed, she has not suffered any losses. She is unwilling to mention it again, and she is even more unwilling to have conflicts with others because of this.
"That's it?" Renault asked again.
"It's over. I'm not losing much, so why bother to pursue it? Don't ask others who are and then have conflicts with them." Dania said.
"Since you don't pursue it, that's fine." Seeing Dania's expression firm, Renault gave up the idea of pursuing it, but said, "But when encountering such a thing again, you don't have to tolerate it. If someone wants to treat you next time, even if it's a general, I can't let her live a better life!"
"I understand." Dania was quite moved and said sweetly.
Renault nodded and wanted to speak again, but suddenly a voice came to his side: "Renault, you have been talking to Dania in front of the door. It's dark and the camp has already started. If you don't go to eat, it's gone."
"It's really late. Danny, I'll see you tomorrow or the next day." Hearing the reminder of this person, Renault suddenly realized that it was completely dark and they had been standing here and saying things for a long time. He still had ten days to rest. Although he hadn't seen it for a long time, he was not in a hurry to talk to Dannya, and said hurriedly.
"It's time for me to go back," Danya nodded and said to the reminder: "Brother Cao, Dan Mother is also very happy to see you not died in battle or were seriously injured."
"Haha!" Cao Fanghao immediately burst into laughter.
Cao Fanghao said a few more words to Dania and returned to the camp with Renault. Dania also rushed to the residence of the civilians in the west of the camp under the protection of the guards.
Renault came to the meal place and saw that although there were still a lot of rice and a lot of food, the meat and vegetables were indeed gone.
Renault felt a little regretful and should ask the person who was on fire to give him a portion in advance; but now there is no way to go forward and make up for the meatless meal. In order to make up for the lack of meat, he made a big bowl, and then found his own tent under the leadership of Cao Fanghao, squatted nearby and started eating.
"You're here." Seeing that he finally arrived, Xia Chuantao said, "I said Renault, we don't have only one day to rest. For ten days, she won't leave. You won't tell her this for a while! Look, the meat has been eaten up."
"I didn't want to talk for too long at first, but before I knew it, time passed." Renault defended.
"Just just remind you, you can do it yourself. Anyway, you come back late and you have no meat to eat." Xia Chuantao said half-jokingly.
"I understand." Renault agreed during the meal.
...
...
"Come on! To celebrate the victory of today's first battle, let's use horse milk instead of wine, and drink this bowl full of food to celebrate!" While Renault was eating, Li Gong smiled and held a bowl full of horse milk in his hand, saying to everyone.
He was so happy. The results of the street fighting were beyond expectations! The statistics have been completed now. It is not counted as the army that defended the yamen to kill the enemy and the soldiers who were killed in total, but only 36 soldiers of the Tang army were killed in battle and seriously injured 16 people, which is almost a 20-to-1 loss ratio.
This is a 20-to-1 loss ratio! Not to mention fighting a strong enemy like Dashi, even the soldiers of a weak country, apart from the soldiers who were slaughtered after kneeling down and surrendering, the Tang Dynasty has never achieved such an amazing victory, but now it has achieved it. How unhappy did you make Li Gong?
Not only was he happy, but all the generals present, no, everyone who knew this number was very happy. Although the cannibal would not be stupid again tomorrow to give them such a good chance to attack today, even if they could maintain a three-to-one, two-to-one or even one-to-one battle loss ratio, the Tang Dynasty would be the final winner.
"Celebrating today's victory!" Everyone shouted loudly, and then drank the horse's milk in the bowl.
"Oh!" Li Gong finished all the horse milk in the bowl, wiped his mouth casually, and told his servants to fill it up, and said, "Raise the bowl again to celebrate!" This time, he did not wait for everyone to agree, and everyone rushed to eat it all.
He drank another bowl of horse milk. Li Gong put down the bowl and smiled and said, "Okay, drink these three bowls today. I won't eat more. If I eat more, I think the urine that will be milky white in the future."
"Haha!" Everyone burst into laughter when they heard Li Gong's joke that seemed to be making pornographic. Someone told real pornographic jokes, and everyone immediately started to talk about it.
"Okay, okay, let's not joke anymore." After chatting for a while, Li Gong interrupted everyone and said seriously: "Today's victory over the Great Cannibal is entirely up to the power of all the generals. Please continue to lead troops to kill the enemy tomorrow and kill more Great Cannibals."
"Subordinates/secretaries will definitely fight to kill the enemy!" Everyone agreed quickly.
Chapter completed!
