Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 16: After the War

When approaching the Qiang team, Dong Zhuo replaced the bow and arrow in his hand with a broadsword, and the enemy's horses were cut off one after another where the sword passed. The soldiers in Xiliang saw this and roared excitedly. The commander was brave, and the soldiers were encouraged. .

Later, Dong Zhuo and the Xiliang soldiers showed Jia Rong what it means to be a warrior on the battlefield and a veteran of a hundred battles. It was a one-sided massacre; Dong Zhuo led the Xiliang soldiers to kill the Qiang people without the power to fight back.

The Qiang people retreated temporarily, and a group of recruits who had just experienced the battlefield just lay on the city wall, enjoying the feeling of being reborn.

When the messengers announced the victory of the war and the Qiang people retreated, Jia Rong ignored the wounds on his body and carried Li Xi's bloody corpse on his back. Li Hu followed behind him and came to a wilderness step by step, buried Li Xi on the spot. Down.

With a choked voice, Jia Rong said to a grave that had just been raised on the ground: "Brother Li Xi, we will all remember you. You are a brave soldier, and the soldiers in Lijia Village will always be proud of you."

While talking, Jia Rong cried again, and continued: "Actually, I also blame me. If I hadn't told you to kill the enemy and make achievements on the battlefield, you would not have followed me to the battlefield, and you would not have lost it." fate."

Li Hu, who was crying bitterly, walked to Jia Rong's side, and kept talking about the sadness in his heart and his reluctance for Li Xi. Although the person he really admired was Jia Rong, but when Li Xi really sacrificed his life to save himself, Li Hu couldn't be more moved in his heart.

It wasn't until dark that Jia Rong stood up and said to Li Xi's grave, "Brother, you rest here first, and I will definitely bring you back to Li's Village in the future."

After finishing speaking, he bowed to Li Xi's head of the grave, and led Li Hu back to the barracks staggeringly.

As soon as he returned to the barracks, a soldier came forward and said respectfully to Jia Rong, "General Guo told you to go see him immediately after you come back."

Seeing Jia Rong's bravery on the battlefield today, as well as his compassion and righteousness, all the soldiers who came from Hechi County admired him deeply.

Worship from the bottom of the heart, without any other factors involved; in the hearts of soldiers, only those who are brave, affectionate and righteous can win their respect and love.

Jia Rong didn't notice this, and nodded to the soldier who sent the message, "Well, I see, you go down."

The soldier gave Jia Rong a military salute and retreated.

When he came to Guo Bang's camp, Jia Rong saw Guo Bang after being informed by the messenger.

Jia Rong hastily bowed to Guo Si and said, "Jia Rong, my humble rank, pay my respects to General Guo."

Guo Bang walked to Jia Rong's side, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "You don't have to be so polite."

Jia Rong felt flattered. Although he had asked Guo Bang about martial arts in normal times, Guo Bang had always been indifferent to others, and he had never been so enthusiastic towards anyone.

Seeming to see Jia Rong's doubts, Guo Si strolled to his seat, and then motioned Jia Rong to sit down and talk; he said unhurriedly: "Today, your performance is very good, I inspected the entire city defense army, After a rough calculation, only the soldiers in Hechi County, where you are located, suffered the least losses and captured the most enemies."

"The dead are gone. There are no immortals on the battlefield. Only through the experience of standing and fire can soldiers truly grow up; you are also a sensible person, I believe you can understand what I said." Looking at Jia Rong's red Guo Si said comfortingly.

Jia Rong knew that Guo Si was caring about himself, but he just expressed it in another way. He looked at Guo Si and said, "General, please rest assured. The best reward for a robe."

Guo Si nodded and said, "Perhaps you are right, the best reward for the dead is to live better."

After finishing speaking, a trace of sadness flashed in Guo Si's eyes.

Jia Rong usually observes people very carefully, so he naturally caught the changes in Guo Bang's eyes; everyone has their own unusual experience, especially Guo Bang, a veteran general like Guo Bang.

Jia Rong looked at Guo Bang quietly, waiting for the next sentence. Guo Bang ordered him to come, it would not be so simple.

"After you go back, count the specific losses of the soldiers in Hechi County, including those soldiers who were too seriously injured on the battlefield and lost the ability to continue fighting. They should also be counted, and the results will be reported to me after the statistics." Guo Si continued.

Jia Rong heard Guo Si's words and asked, "General, I would like to ask, what will happen to those seriously injured soldiers?"

Listening to Jia Rong's questioning, Guo Si nodded in satisfaction. Only generals who know how to care about soldiers can be loved by soldiers, and can better cooperate with soldiers on the battlefield and play the greatest role; he said to Jia Rong: "You can rest assured about this, we will give them pensions and distribute them fields; as for the soldiers who died, we will also compensate their families."

Although this kind of condition is very unfair to Jia Rong who came from the future, in the era of war, this may be the best result.

Guo Si then said to Jia Rong: "If there is nothing else, you can go and condolences to the soldiers who just went through the war today."

Jia Rong saluted Guo Si and said, "Yes, General, I will resign from my humble position."

When Jia Rong turned to leave, Guo Si saw the knife wound on Jia Rong's back, and the red blood stained his shirt red; Guo Si hurriedly called Jia Rong, and then ordered the doctor to come and treat him.

After a rough bandage, the doctor said that there was nothing serious and that he would be fine after rest today. Guo Si then heaved a sigh of relief and waved his hand to let Jia Rong go down.

Feeling Guo Bang's care for him, no matter what emotion he is in, Jia Rong is still very grateful to Guo Bang.

Back at the camp where the soldiers in Hechi County were, Jia Rong endured his injuries and went from camp to condolences. When the soldiers saw Jia Rong coming in person, they struggled to get up from the bed and saluted Jia Rong.

After today's battle, they admired Jia Rong's performance on the battlefield. The army always respects the strong; what's more, Jia Rong was their instructor before, and their admiration for Jia Rong is like a torrent of water, flowing endlessly.

Jia Rong hurriedly stopped them and said, "You don't have to do this, I just came to see you."

When some soldiers heard Jia Rong say this, they shed hot tears immediately. They were still teenagers anyway, and they had just experienced the death or injury of their companions, and they were full of fear and sadness in their hearts.

Jia Rong also understood them very well, and said to them: "I know everyone's mood at the moment, and I feel very uncomfortable; but if you think about it carefully, their injuries and deaths are valuable, and they are here to protect us. sacrifice their homeland, their death is meaningful; human beings are inherently mortal, either lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai, their injuries and deaths are heavier than Mount Tai.”

Seeing the soldiers' expressions softened slightly, Jia Rong continued: "Our responsibilities tell us that we should not slack off and train harder in the future. I still say the same thing: "Sweat more in normal times and bleed less in wartime." ".Did you understand this time?"

"Understood!" The soldiers replied neatly, although their voices were low, they revealed firmness.

"Well, very good." Jia Rong said with a little bit of satisfaction. Only after experiencing the battle of life and death can he understand the importance of strength.

Jia Rong continued: "You are soldiers. Don't forget your identities and do what you should do at any time. The bounden duty of soldiers is to defend the country; and only through the experience of war can you grow up vigorously. ;Did you see the scene when General Dong led the soldiers to kill the Qiang people, one day you will be as heroic as them, I look forward to your growth."

When the soldiers heard Jia Rong's words, expectant eyes flashed in their eyes. Naturally, they also wanted to become elite soldiers and make contributions; secretly clenched their fists, and kept telling themselves to work hard towards their respective goals.

After counting the specific casualties of the soldiers in Hechi County, Jia Rong was stunned. After today's battle of defending the city, 270 of the originally 260 soldiers died; the soldiers were seriously injured and lost the ability to continue fighting. There were 140 nine people; that is to say, after the First World War, the soldiers in Hechi County alone lost 410 people. This is a rough estimate of how much the soldiers in other counties lost.

After ordering the soldiers in charge to report the losses of the soldiers to Guo Bang, Jia Rong lay down on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time; thinking about today's battlefield, thinking about training and playing with him yesterday, but today he was away from him forever Jia Rong had mixed feelings about the departing comrades-in-arms.

The battlefield is always cruel; one will be successful and the bones will be destroyed. This sentence is not bad. In later generations, I don’t have a deep understanding of this sentence. When I was in the army, the training was relatively hard. How have I ever seen such a thing? The real battlefield; after today's battle, Jia Rong has a deep understanding of this sentence.

In the future, I have to work harder, Jia Rong secretly warned himself; not only to wait for his own beauty, but also to allow himself to live better in troubled times; no one is not afraid of death, Especially after experiencing the cruelty of the battlefield.

Recalling the words of the scribe next to Dong Zhuo, Jia Rong now takes it seriously; only war can make a soldier grow up quickly, and blind training cannot produce elite soldiers; the battlefield is the real training ground for soldiers!

That night, Jia Rong dreamed that Li Xi was crying to him that he did not want to die; The tall horse returned to Lijia Village and married Xiu'er...
