sister-in-law

Chapter 220
The husband and wife wandered around for a long time, only to feel that their physical and mental exhaustion had all been eliminated, and then reluctantly swam to the shore.

Dressed neatly, the two walked hand in hand to the bonfire, and the dozen or so people over there were already in a hurry.

After a long day of driving, everyone is covered in dust and sweat. Who doesn't want to take a comfortable bath?

But sleeping outside and having hot water to drink would be nice, how dare you expect to take a hot bath?
But now when they heard that there was a natural hot water lake, everyone was pleasantly surprised.

Seeing Gu Zhang and Su Ruoli approaching refreshedly, Chen Niu'er curled his lips and asked with a smile, "General, is the water in the lake hot? Is it comfortable to wash?"

"Of course, you will know if you try it. Hurry up, there will be no good place if you go late." Gu Zhang joked with a smile, and before he finished speaking, those people rushed over.

Chen Niuer moved a little slower and was thrown to the back of his head. He also yelled, "Hey, save me a good place." He didn't forget to point to the earthen pot on the campfire, "There's hot water over there, the general and his wife have a drink."

Gu Zhang smiled and waved him to hurry up, but Chen Niuer disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Gu Zhang pulled Su Ruoli to sit down by the bonfire. It was late spring, and the night on the grassland was still a bit chilly.

I was sweating all over while soaking in the hot spring just now, and now it's a little cold again.Gu Zhang hurriedly took out a big cloak from the saddlebag and put it on Su Ruoli, then sat down to toast her hair.

Su Ruoli was pawing casually on the ground, listening to the crackling sound of the earthen pot, and said with a smile, "I ate too much meat for dinner, and I'm so tired, find some weeds to make tea!"

Gu Zhang straightened her long hair with a smile, "Everything is good in your hands, you can really turn waste into treasure."

"That's right, why don't you ask what Madam Ben does?" Su Ruoli smiled and praised herself without blushing at all.

Gu Zhang and You Rongyan nodded, the husband and wife were talking with a smile on their face, and they cooked a pot of wild herbal tea before they knew it.

It smelled bitter and sweet, so Su Ruoli poured a little and tasted it, and thought it tasted good, so she also poured a water bag for Gu Zhang, and the two drank it with gusto.

On the second day, at dawn, a group of people began to climb up the mountain.

The mountain is not very high, and the mountain is full of green trees.It is mixed with unknown weeds and wild flowers, but Su Ruoli has to look at each of them carefully. For her, there is really nothing to waste, and every plant has its value. Su Ruoli climbed all the way , the bag he was carrying had long been filled with various plants in different categories.

She also searched carefully on the mountain, and found that there was no such thing as saltpeter and sulfur she wanted, but it gave her an unexpected harvest, that is, she found iron ore.

In this era of cold weapons, one must have good weapons for war. If this iron ore is mined, the [-] army will have a steady stream of weapons and armor.When the time comes, they will be invincible in a fight with the barbarians.

She hurriedly told Gu Zhang the news, and Gu Zhang was also very happy. If the iron ore was smelted, there would be no shortage of arrows and crossbows used in the army.

After wandering around the mountain for most of the day, everyone's body was stuffed with various specimens collected by Su Ruoli. When it was getting dark, the group of people came down the mountain.

After staying at the foot of the mountain for one night, a group of people rushed to the camp.

On the second day, they returned to the camp and took a short rest, Gu Zhang planned to make the picture drawn by Su Ruoli.

Suddenly, a scout came to report that the barbarians' large army had attacked in a mighty manner, and they were only a dozen miles away from their camp.

As soon as Gu Zhang heard the letter, he immediately ordered the soldiers to go into battle.

He also ran back to the tent, took off his armor and put it on.

Su Ruoli looked at him worriedly, but couldn't help him, so he just stood aside quietly.

Gu Zhang dressed neatly, took off his crossbow trigger, and then smiled at Su Ruoli, "Li'er, don't be afraid, wait for me to come back!"

Su Ruoli nodded solemnly, didn't say anything, just watched him stride out of the camp and onto the tall horse.

The Mobei Gobi was full of chills, a round of sunset hung on the dim yellow sky, the wind was blowing, and the ground was full of gravel tossing back and forth.

The two armies lined up to face each other on this Gobi desert. Gu Zhang stepped on a tall black horse and looked up at the flying military flag behind him. The bright red "Gu" word stimulated his beating nerves.

Since the beginning of this dynasty, it has been harassed by these barbarians. The instability of the northwest frontier for more than a hundred years is mostly caused by the greed of these barbarians.Today, Gu Zhang is leading tens of thousands of troops and horses. As long as he gives an order to rush forward and fight the barbarian opposite, peace will be regained in this centuries-old Northwest, and he and Li'er can live here peacefully. down.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhang's heart was boiling with enthusiasm, and the hand holding the rein unconsciously increased a little strength.

On the opposite side, the coach Zaguli sat on a silver-maned horse, staring straight ahead with sharp eyes.The man in armor with a heroic face is the coach of Da Zhou. He has been famous for a long time, but he didn't expect him to be so young.

Zaguli couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his lips. In the past, many veterans in Dazhou were defeated by him, let alone this young boy.

It seems that today's battle doesn't take much effort, just waiting to kill him without leaving a piece of armor, then the emperor of Dazhou will naturally hand over the gold and silver to them, by the way, there is also the watery man Southern beauty.

The brilliance of the setting sun hit Gu Zhang's eyes, and Gu Zhang's heart trembled slightly. At this time, Li'er should be ready for dinner and waiting for him.A smile appeared on the corner of Gu Zhang's mouth, and when his fingers touched the scabbard, there was a touch of warmth.

After dinner, the beloved returns.Naturally, he couldn't make Li'er wait.But he must not underestimate the enemy, this battle must be fought well, so that the Hu people will be terrified and dare not offend again.

Gu Zhang has already made a plan in his heart, and he should be tough when dealing with these barbarians. If they don't beat them down, they will never obey!

He gently pulled out his saber, pointed towards the sky, and whistled with his left hand.All the troops understood and were ready for orders, following Gu Zhang Jianshao's slow movement, they quickly set up their formations.The pace is consistent, tight but not chaotic.

Seeing that Gu Zhang took the lead, Saguli did not panic, sitting on the horseback and squinting at Gu Zhang. In his eyes, the general of the Great Zhou likes to make a fuss, and he has to make a good fight. It's like waving words and dancing ink.

Gu Zhang's [-] troops were divided into three wings, left, center, and right, and each wing was divided into three layers, but in an instant they were fighting with tens of thousands of Hu people.

Thinking of a trick to catch a turtle in an urn, Saguli sneered, seeing this fur doll is nothing more than that, barbarians are best at hand-to-hand combat, not to mention a three-fold circle, even a hundred-weight and thousand-weight circle, it is impossible to use Da Zhou's thin body to stop the god The favored barbarians.

Hearing another whistle from Gu Zhang, Zaguli's smile instantly froze on his face, and turned into panic in an instant, only to hear his exclamation: "Quickly block the shield, fast! Block the shield!"

The soldiers of the barbarians heard the heart-piercing shout of the commander, and hurriedly pulled out the shields they were carrying behind them.But it was too late, Gu Zhang clasped his palms together, and the sound was extraordinarily crisp in the silence.The Da Zhou soldiers surrounded by the innermost one pulled out a handful of crossbow arrows from their cuffs, lightly plucked the arrow strings, and several short arrows swished towards the Hu soldiers like a runaway horse.

This was improved by Gu Zhang based on the mini crossbows he made earlier. At that time, a thousand of them were built in the equipment camp of Daying in the suburbs of Beijing. When he left Beijing, he only asked him to take [-] of them.But it was these five hundred crossbow machines, the arrows shot out, like flying feathers, shot towards the enemy on the opposite side.

A group of barbarian soldiers fell to the ground in response, and the other side was in chaos for a while, only the main general Zaguli screamed loudly.

Gu Zhang didn't care so much, he knew that the key to victory is to race against time.He whistled again, and the soldiers drew out their swords and swung at the Hu soldiers.

Sa Guli knew that he had fallen into Gu Zhang's scheme, and secretly screamed that it was not good.Fortunately, he had led the army for many years, so he was not in a panic. He raised his big knife and chopped off the head of an adjutant who was retreating in a hurry.

"Come forward with me, if there are still fleeers, look like this!" Zaguli shouted, throwing the head in his hand to the sky.

Only then did the Hu soldiers come to their senses, they drew out their sabers one after another, and rushed forward.A fight is inevitable.

Hu people eat more meat and milk, and are physically strong. Gradually, the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty began to lose. This triple siege is about to be broken.

Gu Zhang was unavoidably anxious, if this barbarian breaks out of the siege, all his hard work today will be in vain.But seeing that his soldiers were exhausted, Gu Zhang couldn't find a better solution for a while.

Suddenly Gu Zhang had a flash of inspiration and remembered a sentence that Su Ruoli had said to him before the battle - it is difficult to tell the truth from the false, and only then can the enemy be lured into deep traps.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhang made a bold move. He issued a signal to let the soldiers back out of a hole and let the barbarian soldier out.

　Some mistakes have been made and corrected.
