Ding Tian's Ancient Life

The enemies outside are cold and hungry, and the people inside are still cooking mutton soup and hot steamed buns, and the smell wafts out. Who would not like to have a sip of mutton soup and two hot steamed buns in winter?

But across the high wall, I just can't eat it!

The eyes of the people outside are all red!

The leader had no choice but to ask these people to look for things, and to carry out the plan of filling the soil again, but the fence of this house is a bit high, and there are some obstacles around, and they dare not kill all the horses to make up the road. They should always run fast on horseback, otherwise, when the local defenders react, they will be wrapped in dumplings and torn to pieces by the angry defenders.

Now the barbarians in the north are no longer as arrogant and domineering as they used to be. Every year, they pay tribute to the emperor of the Central Plains with a large amount of cattle, sheep and horses. Fortunately, the emperor of the Central Plains also agreed to open a mutual market on the border. Everyone can exchange some grain, cloth and salt with the cattle and sheep. Tea etc.

It’s just that there are no iron utensils, and they were replaced with thin iron pans, which were not resistant to use, and they had to be replaced with new iron pans in a few years. In addition, there were casserole pots and clay pots, which were unlimited, but they were too heavy. inconvenient.

The stew is quite delicious....

But that's not the point. The point is that they are tired and hungry now, they can't even drink saliva, and they don't have any firewood. It's impossible to survive this day of ice and snow!

They didn't come to starve and freeze to die.

"Smash, charge, no matter what, we must fight in, otherwise we may not have the strength to go back to the grassland." The leader said with a gloomy face, "Remember, you must fight in!"

They were thinking about breaking in from the outside, while the people inside were still thinking about how to get them out.

Ding Tian and the others held a large bowl of mutton soup and drank it while it was hot. Although it was outside and it was freezing cold, the bowl of mutton soup warmed up a lot.

"Have someone take out the firecrackers and fireworks that everyone prepared." Ding Tian commanded the staff: "Let's set them off in advance."

"Release earlier?" Everyone didn't quite understand.

"Their horses, we have nothing to do outside. Now that they have entered the village, they can only walk along the road in our village. They are lined up in a row. It doesn't seem like they are running outside." Ding Tian sneered: "Our firecrackers, firecrackers, Fireworks are something that horses are afraid of. If their horses panic, they will either trample them to death, or those horses will run away. Without their horses, can they still come and go freely? Can they run back to the grassland?"

"I'm so tired!" Ding Si gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll move things now."

The people outside were digging the soil with knives, tearing down the door panels, and looking for fire. Unfortunately, they were all fighting for time. Everyone was hungry and tired. When Ding Tian saw them working hard, he suddenly lit firecrackers and threw them away. Going out, especially these are cavalry. Cavalry cannot do without horses. They care more about horses than themselves. People can not eat, but horses cannot live without eating grass and drinking water.

The horses were put together, found a little hay, and fed with melted snow water. The horses were quite energetic, but because they were gathered together, after the firecrackers were thrown over, the crackling sound made the horses startled.

These horses are all horses from the prairie, with the blood of wild horses. They are fine on weekdays, they eat and drink, and they run with people on their backs, no problem.

But now, they can't eat enough, and the water they drink is still snow water. It's hard for people, and it's hard for the horses. In addition, they suddenly heard a loud noise, and the horses ran wild.

The people outside naturally went to appease their horses immediately, how could they go back to the grassland without horses?

Just when this group of people was in a hurry, Wang Zuo had already brought 3000 people over.

Originally, today was to come to celebrate the New Year, but Wang Zuo couldn't stand it after two days of delay. What made him even more angry was that a wave of barbarian cavalry came over and went to Dingjia Village after a long detour!

"Why don't you go to other places, and go straight to Dingjia Village?" Wang Zuo was furious: "There are still people who communicate with enemies?"

Dingjia Village, that's where Tian'er is!

"No, they know Niujiao Mountain and have been here before. They want to come... they don't know other places, and they don't dare to go there, for fear of getting lost... That's why they..." County magistrate Xu is already trembling.

The war more than ten years ago was thought to be the last battle, and the subsequent battles were all fought outside the customs. Besides, they have repeatedly gone deep into the grassland over the years, and they have already occupied five hundred miles of grassland. It was planned to rebuild the fortifications on the outskirts after the beginning of spring, whether it was building a wall, remodeling a fortress, or even building the Great Wall. Who would have thought that the barbarians who had been silent for so long were beaten so helplessly Barbarians, there will still be rangers coming to harass the village behind the county seat?

"Come on!" Wang Zuo yelled, "Rectify the soldiers and horses, and go to Ding's Village!"

Ding Tian is still there!

He couldn't imagine what kind of situation Ding Tian would encounter.

Wang Zuo is the one-word side-by-side king of Chaopin, and he travels on a certain scale, let alone inspecting the northern border on behalf of the emperor, and rewarding the soldiers.

Therefore, the people he brought were all combatants. Among them, the 3000 imperial guards were enough to represent the attitude of the emperor, and the [-] imperial guards were mostly responsible for escorting, but the [-] people were all cavalry!

The mobility is strong, and the cavalry is the most numerous in northern Xinjiang. In the absence of cars, the mobility of the cavalry is the fastest.

Wang Zuo ran to Ding's Village with red eyes. He thought about it, if Ding Tian had an accident, he would die!

Go kill those people and bury them with him, wipe their necks and accompany him!

Anyway, he only had Ding Tian as his sweetheart in his life, he cared about him alone, he was gone, and he didn't live alone, these few years with Ding Tian were his happiest days.

When you’re hungry, there’s hot food, when you’re cold, someone adds clothes, and there’s always another person under the covers…  

In the end, he took people to Dingjia Village, and found that the outside was in a mess, the gate of the village had been opened, and the flying snow covered all traces, but they still smelled blood in the snow.

Wang Zuo rushed in desperately with his people... Fortunately, the road conditions in Dingjia Village were very good.

After rushing in, I found that there were more and more corpses of enemies on the road, as well as unowned horses, and there was an earth-shattering sound from the ancestral hall!

And Ding Tian and the others can make such a big commotion, thanks to the fact that it is Chinese New Year now!

According to the customs of the North, during the Chinese New Year, there is a battle of incense and firecrackers, and on the fifth day of the lunar new year, incense and cannons are burned to "send the poor". It is actually a custom.

There are many taboos during the Chinese New Year in ancient times, among which, not taking out the garbage is the most prominent.

Traditional folklore believes that if you don't take out the garbage from New Year's Day to the fifth day, you can gather wealth, otherwise you will lose your "blessing".

However, there are too many rubbish piles, after all, it affects hygiene, so it has to be thrown out on the fifth day of the lunar new year, which is called "sending the poor".

And there are many ways for the people to send the poor.

The simple ones are just firing firecrackers early in the morning to dump the garbage out of the door, and the more complicated ones need to cut out a villain (poor daughter-in-law) out of paper to send it away, and even ask her to carry a paper bag filled with garbage and send it outside the door; what’s more Those who break the five full food or draw water to fill the urn are called "filling the poor", or take away the poor daughter-in-law of other people's family, which is called "getting rich".

In the past, Dingjia Village was poor, and at most it was a simple life, but now it is rich, not only has high incense to burn, but also cannonballs to light, and those who burn incense and cannons send away the "poor gods".

Now the cannonballs prepared by the villagers are all in the hands of Ding Tian. If those outside dare to charge, they will throw the cannonballs outside. There are many people who are beaten by firearms of the Han people. Although firecrackers are not firearms, the taste is similar.

They can't even taste the taste of black tea and green tea, but they can know that the taste is similar, which is already very good.

As soon as someone charged outside, or tried to get close to the gate and hit the gate, there would be a firecracker inside, and the noise would be huge!

And those two kickers, oh, they are double-guns. These robbers from the prairie have never seen anything like this before. They thought they would be fine after the explosion, but after the first explosion, they rushed over, but they rang a second time... ok Well, many people were startled again.

The people were too scared. Right now, just because of non-combat downsizing, more than half of the troops are lying on the ground. Not to mention starving stares, who can bear the three-time shock this day?

The same is true for war horses, even war horses with a bad temper dare to bite people.

And people outside can still smell the aroma of the food inside, God can't see it, this is the north wind, the ancestral hall of Dingjia Village is facing south, the main entrance is on the south side, these barbarian looters, at the gate A charge is launched there... Only a gate on this side can charge, but the walls in other places with a height of three meters make them scratch their heads.

The gate is at least two and a half meters long....

The height difference is half a meter, it's obvious.

This end is tossing, in fact, many people have been killed, a second kicker is not very powerful, it can't hold up much!

Ding Tian bundled them up and threw them out, the power was incredible.

When Wang Zuo came over, he brought troops and horses, and the cavalry was very noisy. In addition, because the building of the ancestral hall was taller, the snow on the roof had to be cleaned at ordinary times. It was possible to go up to the roof and overlook the entire Dingjia Village, so the reinforcements outside As soon as it comes, people watching from the roof will know.

More than half of these people were already dead, and because they were hungry and tired, they were easily captured by Wang Zuo's men, and they captured a lot of war horses, all of which were good horses, and some of them were like stallions. excellent war horse.

But Wang Zuo rushed to the gate of the ancestral hall and knocked on the door: "Ding Tian! Ding Tian! It's me!"

"Here we come!" Ding Tian's voice came from inside: "Open more, there are a lot of things blocking the door behind this door, let's move it!"

After the door was opened, Ding Tian stood inside the threshold. Although his face was frostbitten and his nose was red, he looked at Wang Zuo with bright eyes: "I knew that you would definitely come. Save me!"

"En!" Wang Zuo stepped forward and hugged Ding Tian: "You're fine, that's great."

Ding Tian hugged him back and patted his thick back: "I'm fine, everything is over, we also killed the enemy and made military exploits."

Probably because the two hugged each other for too long, Wang Fugui suddenly appeared behind him, and hugged Ding Si who came out from inside, "Brother Ding! It's great that you're fine!"

"Not only is it okay, we also killed the enemy and made a military exploit!" Ding Si was injured, but his face was full of red. As long as the reinforcements came, they would be safe.

In addition, although it was a bit difficult during the night and two days, the hot mutton soup has not been stopped. The people on my side were all injured, and no one died. The most serious one was only missing an arm, but they at least killed half of the enemies.

There are also captured war horses, which are enough for the people of Dingjia Village to be proud of.

The aftermath was handed over to Wang Zuo. He brought professional soldiers and strong generals, and cleaned the battlefield professionally. However, because Dingjia Village did a good job in the front, the people behind only demolished the doors and windows, and did not ignite them. Because there is no fire book!

Those who were arrested were sent to the prison in the county seat overnight, where they could be provided with a little food and drink, but they absolutely didn't care if they were full.

The people in Dingjia Village, with big and small packages, drove the animals back home. There was basically no change in the house, just cleaning, and some people pressed the doors and windows that had been removed.

So far, the Chinese New Year is only one day away.

After a busy meal, everyone finally rushed to clean up before the New Year's Eve.

And during the daytime of thirty, in the ancestral house of Ding Tian's family, Ding Tian rubbed ink and Wang Zuo wrote a pen. The tribes don't think about making progress, don't think about herdsmen, entangle the horses and manpower, go around thousands of miles, and sneak attack Niujiao County...
