Chapter 19: Standing Alone


"Dong dong dong" As soon as the sky dawned, several eardrum-shattering drums sounded in Tuoyun Fort.

This was the drum beat to summon the sergeants to assemble.

After the drum beat ended, everyone must go to the troop counting platform.

Assemble before.

Xi Yunqing and Zhao Ziliang were already standing on the ordering platform.

A strong man next to them was beating the drum non-stop.

In the open space in front of the ordering platform, soldiers wearing armor and holding guns kept coming to the trench.

The three who came were the first to rush.

The team leader who arrived immediately stood at the front to form the team.

Since Zhao Ziliang was also the leader of the third team, but he was also the deputy fort master, he decided that Wei Meng, the first commander, would replace him to form the team.

Tuoyunbao has not gathered so early for a long time before.

Many soldiers arrived late, and Xi Yunqing's face looked a little ugly.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Ziliang said: "Fortmaster, there is no need to be angry.

The soldiers have been lazy for such a long time.

It is normal to delay the gathering.

As long as we insist on morning meal every day in the future and conduct emergency gathering training from time to time, the soldiers will adapt to it in a short time." of" After hearing what Zhao Ziliang said, Xi Yunqing's face looked better.

He nodded and said, "I hope it's as you said."

Except for the soldiers on guard duty and patrol, everyone else was present.

Huo Kan, the leader of the first group, He Zhizhi, the leader of the second group, and Wei Meng, the deputy leader of the third group, reported the gathering situation to Xi Yunqing respectively. .

Xi Yunqing took a few steps forward, stood still and said loudly: "Soldiers, due to lack of food and grass, we have not done morning exercises for a long time, and the daytime drills have also been greatly reduced, but it is different now.

Civil strife broke out in Tuqishi, and some tribes Without control, they may come to attack our Tuoyunbao and break into the hinterland of Anxi through us to plunder, so we must restore the previous morning exercises, restore and strengthen daily drills Zhao Ziliang beside me was originally the first commander of the first group.

Because of his great achievements, he has been appointed by General Fumeng, the envoy of Shule Town, as the deputy fort master and team deputy of our Tuoyun Fort, and was awarded the title of benevolence and bravery.

Deputy Lieutenant, concurrently serving as the leader of the third group.

From today on, he will He is my deputy, helping me handle the affairs of Tuoyun Fort.

Yesterday, Deputy Fort Zhao brought back enough food from Shule Town to feed the soldiers, so don't complain to me that you are hungry and have no energy to train.

Next Please ask Deputy Fortress Zhao to say a few words to you guys."

After Xi Yunqing took a few steps back, Zhao Ziliang stepped forward.

He looked at the helmeted heads below and said loudly: "Brothers, I can be the deputy fort master, team deputy, and be awarded benevolence."

Lieutenant Yong is not all due to my own merits.

First of all, it is the strong recommendation of the castle master. , Secondly, my brothers sacrificed their lives.

In the encounter with the Tuqi Shi cavalry a few days ago, except for Zheng San, who was sent by me to protect the envoy and retreated to the fort, all the others died in the battle, and I too I was lucky enough to survive.

My life was saved.

No other brothers fought hard.

Even if I kill the enemy, there is no way I will survive.

I captured a batch of trophies that time and kept all the war horses.

This time I went to Shule Town to sell everything else and sent all the money to them through the inn.

Although the money from my family is not much and will not be of much use, I hope it can The reason why I did this was not to make the relatives of those dead brothers live a better life.

I just thought that if one day I died in battle, the brothers who were still alive would be able to sell their trophies.

Give part of the money to my family to fulfill my filial piety As the saying goes, although we are not real brothers, we are closer than real brothers.

From now on, we must work together as brothers, believe in our own responsibilities, and trust him with our support.

Now we may be attacked by the Tuqi Shi cavalry at any time, so brothers, we must be careful and keep our spirits up.

Once the Tuqi Shi cavalry attacks, we must resist it with all our strength.

Even if we all die here, we will not be able to do anything.

The Tuqishi cavalry will never be allowed to cross Tuoyun Fort, because behind Toyun Fort is our territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Guarding the territory and defending the country is the sacred mission of our Tang Dynasty soldiers.

As long as the Tuqi Shi cavalry dares to come, We must kill him and leave no trace behind.”

All the soldiers in front of the stage couldn't help but look excited.

They all raised their weapons and stood up and shouted: "Don't leave any piece of armor, don't leave any piece of armor, don't leave any piece of armor!"

Zhao Ziliang took a few steps back, and Xi Yunqing stepped forward and gave Zhao Ziliang a thumbs-up secretly, saying in a low voice: "What a good boy, there is such a hand, which made me excited and excited."

Zhao Ziliang said modestly and stepped aside.

Next, Xi Yunqing stepped forward to arrange the drill and patrol situation, "I have discussed with Deputy Fort Master Zhao that morning exercises and the previous daily drills will resume from today.

The intensity and intensity of the drills will be doubled.

If there are no teams on patrol or on duty, the officer must take them to practice in the martial arts field and record them.

The amount of training must be doubled.

The soldiers at the checkpoint at the city gate must carefully check the identities of merchants and their goods from today on.

Once suspicious people and goods are found, they will be detained first.

If there is resistance, they will be killed without mercy, especially if they are killed.

Pay attention to the business travelers coming from Tuqishi, and they must be inspected strictly, do you understand?"

Everyone yelled: "I understand" "Also, starting from today, Deputy Fortress Zhao will lead the third group to camp twenty miles away.

As a peripheral stronghold outside the fort, they can monitor the situation of Tuqi Shi at any time.

In addition to stationing outside the fort, they will also A beacon tower was set up on the nearby Dagushan Mountain.

If a large-scale cavalry attack was discovered, the beacon tower would be lit.

The soldiers on duty on the tower must pay attention to observation.

Once they found the beacon tower on Dagushan Mountain igniting beacon smoke, they would sound the beacon immediately.

Alarm bells, have you remembered them all?”

"Remember" "Okay, each group disbands and begins to have breakfast.

After breakfast, the soldiers who are not on duty will drill under the leadership of the officer."

After breakfast, Zhao Ziliang led the third group, carrying some grain, grass and ordnance supplies, and left Toyun Fort along the Irkeshtan River out of Toyun Pass and camped on the east bank of Qingshui Lake.

In order to facilitate retreat at any time, all campsites use cowhide tents.

Before noon, Zhao Ziliang and others set up all the tents.

During lunch, Zhao Ziliang summoned the five chiefs for discussion.

The first chief, Wei Meng, the second chief, Wang Can, and the third chief, Wang Can.

Chief Chu Ge, Fourth Chief Liu Ming, and Fifth Chief Li Cheng all gathered in Zhao Ziliang's tent to have lunch and discuss the next thing.

Zhao Ziliang gnawed on a steamed bun and said: "After lunch, Chu Ge, you take your ten people and horses and a few bundles of dry firewood to Dagushan to put up the beacon tower, and also build a small house for the people who guard the beacon tower to live in." , there are eleven of you, work hard and complete the construction before dark.

When you come back, two people will be left to guard there.

From now on, two people will be assigned to take turns to guard the place every day."

Chu Ge was a very handsome man.

He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Deputy Castle Master."

Zhao Ziliang said to Wang Can and Liu Ming again: "Wang Can, after dinner, you take your No. 2 Shi to patrol along Qingshui Lake from the right, and Liu Ming takes the No. 4 Shi to patrol along Qingshui Lake from the left.

Once you find a sudden cavalry, , as long as there are more than 20 people, we will immediately send people back to report and monitor them at the same time.

If we are not sure of victory, we are not allowed to fight with them.

We only have more than 50 people, one will die and one will be lost.

Do you understand?"

Wang Can and Liu Ming stood up and said, "I understand."

Zhao Ziliang said to Li Cheng again: "Without armor, sharp blades, and strong bows, the combat capabilities of our cavalry are still unable to compare with those of the sudden cavalry.

You take your men to cut down trees in the afternoon and erect some grass targets and wooden boards next to the camp."

Piles, these will be used for cavalry training for archery and sprinting, they must be made stronger.”

"clear" Zhao Ziliang looked at Wei Meng at the end and asked, "I heard that two of your men know how to fish."

Wei Meng was a little confused, but he still nodded and said: "Yes, I don't know what the captain's orders were."

Zhao Ziliang said: "We can't let the soldiers eat pancakes and steamed buns all day long.

We have to find a way to get some meat.

But there are no wild animals near us.

We can only find another way.

When I came back from Shule Town, I brought Come back with two fish Net, although this Qingshui Lake is a plateau lake, there must be fish.

You ask your two soldiers who are good at fishing to spend two hours a day fishing at the lake to supplement the meat for the soldiers.

As for the others today Just help Liu Ming and the others cut down the trees first.”

"Yes, Captain":
