When a passerby becomes a princess

"...there was a lot of thatch in that place, and the smoke was too thick when the fire was lit, so we had to leave temporarily, but there was no water source in the cave, and the horse bandits had to come out to fetch water after hiding for a few days, and we blocked them every time Fight, and because of the camouflage, those horse bandits can't find us at all..."

Liang Xi tried his best to stuff things into his mouth, and kept telling Lin Qiu about the process of suppressing the bandits. His complacent look was like a male peacock spreading its tail, showing it to his beloved. own strength and beauty.

Lin Qiu sat quietly by the side and listened to his story, his eyes were full of smiles, he didn't care about the process and result of suppressing the bandits, he made all preparations to let Liang Xi happily do what he was interested in, and then It is enough to come back and continue to laugh happily. As for the horse bandit and other things, it has nothing to do with him.

It can be said that from the beginning to the end, Lin Qiu's gaze was only focused on Liang Xi alone. From the first day and the first sight of him when he traveled through time, other people could be his relatives and friends, and he could separate them. He wants to take care of and care for him, but there is only one person living in his heart, and no one can join him.

From this point of view, Lin Qiu seems to be very indifferent, but this is a characteristic of him as a game NPC. His goal is very clear. This goal is to keep Liang Xi smiling happily. For this goal, he You can not be afraid of difficulties and obstacles, just like when passer-by A traveled across mountains and rivers in order to deliver a letter in the game, what happened during this period is just the process of this task, and there is no need to think too much about it.

This bandit suppression operation can be said to be a complete victory, and the smoothness of the process is simply beyond imagination.

On the fourth day of their departure, they happened to encounter one of the horse bandits, the number of which was only more than 300. On the flat ground nearby, Liang Xi relied on the "Temujin-style mobile warfare" while galloping and shooting arrows, and the enemy invaded us. Retreat, the enemy retreated and we chased, and wiped out all the horse bandits without any damage.

Afterwards, they received reports from scouts that another group of more than 400 horse bandits had robbed and killed a caravan and was heading in their direction. They used the terrain to set up an ambush circle and surrounded the unsuspecting horse bandits. He stopped, fought a beautiful ambush, and deliberately let dozens of people go, followed them into the Black Snake Swamp, and found the hiding place of the largest bandit.

The horse bandits were very familiar with the terrain of the Black Snake Swamp, and they chose to hide in a mountainous area that was the easiest to defend and difficult to attack. Coupled with two consecutive victories, Liang Xi and all the soldiers in the raid battalion were a little complacent. And carelessness, so this battle made them suffer a lot, and the raid battalion also paid the lives of more than a dozen soldiers. If it wasn't for the excellent equipment and the medical kit that Lin Qiu prepared for them, the loss would have been huge. There may be more staff.

Fortunately, Lin Cheng is here. Although he is not very old, after all, he has followed Lin Lian for many years, and he grew up in the northern Xinjiang camp since he was a child. He is familiar with military books and experienced in the battlefield. The weakness is that there are too many people and there is no water source in the hiding place, so he suggested that Liang Xi should not fight and wait for the snake to come out of the hole.

Sure enough, after only three days, those horse bandits couldn't bear it anymore and started sending people down the mountain to fetch water, but they were mercilessly killed by Liang Xi and the others. After that, the horse bandits sent people down the mountain one after another, but they didn't take a drop of water up the mountain. go.

Just when those horse bandits were about to be unbearable, the fourth horse bandits came to the rescue. Although this team had less than 500 people, they were powerful, and the horse bandits on the mountain also took the opportunity to fight down the mountain and planned to unite Surround the raid camp.The raid battalion fought and retreated, fought steadily, and shot almost all the arrows they brought, before forcing the horse bandits who had lost more than half of their staff back to the mountain.

Later, when they were clearing the battlefield, Liang Xi was attacked and injured by a horse bandit who pretended to be dead. Although the injury was not serious, and Liang Xi recovered quickly with the zhenqi in his body, this incident aroused everyone in the raid battalion. In the anger of the people, they not only killed all the injured horse bandits, but also set fire to the mountain, trying to drive the horse bandits out.

Unexpectedly, when the sky failed to meet people's wishes, when the fire was only halfway through, the wind suddenly changed, and the thick smoke almost fainted the soldiers of the raid battalion. Later, a burst of autumn rain extinguished the fire. Temporarily retreat.

This autumn rain temporarily alleviated the water shortage of the horse bandits, and also made many soldiers in the raid camp sick. If it wasn't for the medicine for colds and colds in the medical kit, Liang Xi and the others might not be able to persist.

The autumn rain lasted for several days, and the bandits did not move for more than ten consecutive days. Liang Xi and the others only brought dry food for half a month. Fortunately, there were many edible animals and plants in the swamp. The archery instructor Zeng Sheng was Born as a hunter, I took the opportunity to teach soldiers how to identify edible wild vegetables, eat while learning, and have a helmet that can be used as a pot. Life is very interesting.

The horse bandits spent some time on the mountain relying on the accumulated rainwater. Seeing that Liang Xi and the others refused to leave, and the rainwater was almost used up soon, they had to find a way to escape, but every time they looked down at the mountain No one, as soon as they stepped out of the cave, soldiers from the raid battalion would jump out from both sides of the mountain road.

Unable to beat the raid battalion, wanting to run but unable to escape, the horse bandit had no choice but to surrender. Whether it was his Song Fu who joined the army or the three instructors, they all felt that the horse bandit's surrender was acceptable. After all, it was a good choice to solve it quickly. Liang Xi, who made up his mind to make an example to others, disagreed.

Although Liang Xi had never seen how the horse bandits burned, killed and looted after they entered the territory of Daliang Kingdom, he had seen Tantou and the others kill Beard on the grassland. This is how wars are. Back then, he watched Tantou burn down the tents. , using all sorts of cruel methods to kill the people of the beard tribe, he just felt excited, but when he thought of the horse bandits killing the people of Daliang country in the same way, he couldn't bear it, and his heart was full of anger.

Song Fu and the others couldn't dissuade Liang Xi, so they had no choice but to agree not to accept the surrender, and completely wiped out all the horse bandits.Of course, the reason why they agreed with Liang Xi was not only because Liang Xi was the prince, and this team was the prince's private soldiers, but also because Liang Xi always rushed to the front line in every battle. Any fear and retreat made Song Fu and the others terrified every time, for fear that something would happen to Liang Xi, but Liang Xi's deeds still inspired the morale of the soldiers, and made Song Fu and the others sincerely admire and admire them.

The horse bandits had no other choice this time, so they had to choose to break through. Liang Xi used the swampy terrain to set up layers of encirclement circles, and because of the map given by Madam Liu, he quickly moved and blocked the horse bandits through the dark road. Eliminated in the Black Snake Swamp.

This battle killed more than 100 raid battalion soldiers, and many others were injured. Many soldiers inevitably became war-weary when they cleaned up the battlefield. After all, these people were just ordinary people a year ago, and Most of them are very young and have never seen the cruelty of war. It is normal to be war-weary after so many people died at once.

But when they searched the cave where the horse bandits were hiding, they found a large amount of property and the bodies of hundreds of women.From those naked corpses, it can be clearly seen what kind of abuse they suffered before they were alive. Some corpses have begun to rot, but some corpses were killed by the horse bandits just before they left. Ken let these poor women go.

The soldiers of the raid battalion were all from all over northern Xinjiang. Two soldiers actually saw a fellow countryman among those women. Although they had only seen that woman before and had never spoken to her, when they saw her at this time, they immediately knew His hometown was robbed by horse bandits, and he burst into tears.

Liang Xi was also injured in this final battle. His thigh was pierced by an arrow. Although he could recover quickly with his physique, at this time he could only wrap his wound and limp. come over.

"Now you know why I must exterminate these horse bandits?" Liang Xi's voice was not loud, but because he was in the cave, the echo spread his voice to every soldier's ears. "Because there are brothers in our raid camp who used to be horse bandits, so you don't think horse bandits are too bad. However, Zhang Shu and Zheng Huang are different. They are all Daliang people who were captured by Beard. In the bottom of my heart, I still regard myself as a member of Daliang Kingdom."

"But what about these horse bandits? Most of them have beards. They are as cruel as beards. They treat the people of Daliang as livestock and can be slaughtered by them. Look at these dead women and think about the villages burned by beards and horse bandits. , you will understand the meaning of war, the value of those dead brothers dying."

Liang Xi also used to be war-weary. When he was an ordinary prince, he was arranged by his father to go to the Northern Xinjiang camp to make trouble with Lin Lian every day. He also said, "War is really annoying, fighting back and forth every day It’s not interesting at all”, but an accident made him go to the grassland, and saw with his own eyes the slaves of Daliang State who were robbed on the grassland, saw their bony bodies, and saw the whip marks and scars.

After returning, when Lin Qiu was teaching him, when he was reading the historical records of the wars of Daliang Kingdom, the number of deaths in groups, thinking that those people were once living lives, every time Liang Xi felt chills , especially those ordinary people, they just want a stable home, they just want to eat and wear warmly, and their children and grandchildren are around their knees. .

"War will indeed kill a lot of people. An arrow shot will not know whether you are a wealthy family or a commoner. Even if I am the Crown Prince, it will not go around. If the soldiers in front are tired of war and shrink back, then we What about the family members and people behind you? Look at the dead people in front of you, and those who may have died because of beards and horse bandits, don’t you want to avenge them, don’t you want to protect them?!”

Liang Xi didn't know how to boost morale, he just said what he thought, at this moment, he even forgot that he was a prince, the corpses of those women made his eyes red, he just felt his blood was boiling, clamor.
