Fuzhou City, located near the later Kissinau, was an important border city of the British Empire in the Eastern European Plain, and also an important border trade town between Britain and the Avar Khanate, where the British army stationed a brigade of troops, mainly to guard against possible sneak attacks by the Avars.But the relationship between the two sides is not harmonious.On the outskirts of Fuzhou City, a round of winter faintly sprinkled the afterglow, and a fast horse galloped to the British commander Shi Simeng to report the military situation: "Marshal, the commander of the Fuzhou Guard, the commander of the Third Independent Brigade Jiang Xiong is still waiting for our rescue in the city, but the attacking Alpad thief army intends to release the flood of the Berg River in the south outside the city to drive us away, so that our army cannot enter the city!"
”Shi Simon laughed and said, "The old man doesn't want to enter the city so quickly!"
Ordered the whole army to retreat twenty miles, return to Sarai Village, and bury the pot to cook!
”Árpard is the general of the Avar Khanate, because the Avars were too heavy because of the British exploitation, they raised troops to rebel, Arpard is one of the leaders of the Avar uprising, he led 50,000 elite Avar cavalry, straight to the British Empire's border fortress Fuzhou City, shouting outside the city, to attack the city, and ordered Jiang Xiong, the guard general stationed in Fuzhou, to open the city gate and go out to welcome thirty miles to surrender.After learning that the Avars rebelled, Li Lu hurriedly ordered Shi Simeng to lead his troops to Fuzhou in the starry night.Shi Simeng brought people and horses to the dust, and only stopped at Salai Village on the way, when the deputy commander of the British army, Sun Lian, wanted to catch and kill several dogs in Salai Village to replenish his strength, Shi Simeng did not allow it, saying that they are also living beings, why bother to kill them for the sake of appetite.Right now, Fuzhou City is in front of you, as long as you cooperate with the defender Jiang Xiongli, you can drive the Avars led by Arpad out of Fuzhou, why retreat?
However, the military order was like a mountain, and the commander gave the order to retreat, and the British army could only retreat.The troops withdrew from the evening of the first day, and the next morning, they finally returned to the village of Salai.For a while, the British army was sleepy and tired, and everyone cheered up to bury the pot and make rice, Shi Simeng ordered the cook to go into the village to buy some chickens, ducks, green vegetables, radishes, etc. to eat, and not to buy anything else for the time being.But the eldest grandson still wanted to eat dog meat, and he didn't dare to buy a dog without Shi Simeng's permission.was embarrassed, Shi Simeng took the initiative to find him, saying that he would disguise himself as a merchant and go into the village to have a look.When the two entered the village, they walked to a densely populated area.Shi Simeng walked all the way, looking around, but there were few pedestrians, the weather was a little cold, and the villagers stayed at home more.Of the few households I saw, only the watchdog cowered in the den and barked a few times.Choosing a house with a better house, the two walked forward and saw a sister-in-law who was obviously a Sinicized Slav feeding pigs.Some of the pigs were eating, and some were playing with hay.Shi Simeng opened his mouth and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you have a sow at home?"
”The eldest grandson almost laughed out loud when he heard this, a dignified general was not doing anything, and he came to find a sow to do something.The sister-in-law also smiled when she heard this: "It turns out that you are a businessman who buys pork, and now the sow is very expensive, and the sow with the baby is not sold!"
”Shi Simon gave his sister-in-law a few dozen dollars and said, "I'll take a look and then say, I don't necessarily buy a sow today."
Wait to buy a few pigs, this is not the New Year, many people want to buy meat, you can sell it at a good price. ”The sister-in-law happily took the money and led them to the back room, she said that the sows were expensive and did not dare to be tied to the front yard, they were all placed in the back yard.The sister-in-law's sow was very fat, and fell asleep on a pile of hay, and there was a mess of hay next to it.Shi Simeng asked: "Sister-in-law, do you really know how to take care of the pig, is this the grass it drags by itself, or is it the nest you help it make?"
”The sister-in-law said that it dragged it by itself, and the hay I put in the backyard was used to prepare it to give birth to piglets. ”The two went a few more houses, bought dozens of pigs, and called the soldiers to rush back and kill them, and everyone ate a full meal, slept well, and ate the rest of the meat for another day.Now that all the officers and men of the British army have recovered their spirits and become red and full of fighting spirit.The eldest grandson laughed secretly in his heart, it turned out that Shi Simeng didn't like dog meat, and he came back here to eat pork, chickens and ducks or something.It seems that he can't stand the hardships of the march without meat.On the morning of the third day, Shi Simeng went around the village, came back empty-handed, and ordered the soldiers to go straight to Fuzhou City!
When he was about to arrive in Fuzhou City, he reported to Malay: "Handsome!
The River Berg to the south is frozen, and the Arpad thieves' plans to flood us have come to naught!
Brigade Commander Jiang Xiong Jiang has been guarding the city wall for the past few days, and none of the thieves have been able to climb the city, and now the thieves have heard that we have killed a horse pistol, and without the help of the flood, they are facing the enemy on their backs, and they are ready to escape along the moat near the head of the city!
”Shi Simeng laughed and said: "We can't let this thief army escape, let the tiger return to the mountain, and it will make a comeback in the future!"
Didn't he want to release the flood and drown us?
I'll let them freeze to death!
”The soldiers looked at the commander in bewilderment, and Shi Simon said: "After the Alpad thief army runs through the moat, they will definitely escape by the Beg River in the south, we will build an ice wall more than ten miles long on the Beg River, and then pour cold water to freeze it, and when they run to the Beg River, there will be no way to escape!"
People say that the copper wall is ironclad, and we will give them an ice wall and water wall today, so that their people are helpless!
”The soldiers hurriedly started to build an ice wall overnight, and the temperature dropped even lower that night, and the water dripping into ice, and the water poured on the ice wall all became ice.At dawn, tens of thousands of horses and horses of the Al Pad thief army, who had been defeated by Jiang Xiong, the defender of Fuzhou, fled to the side of the Berg River.This ice wall, in the sun and the light of the cold glistening, there are two people high, unstoppable, people can't turn over, because the horse is on the icy road, can not jump a few meters high as usual, and even if the horse can jump over, it is also jumping into the glacier, that is, it can swim, if it does not drown, it will freeze to death!
Alpad's soldiers flipped on their backs, crying for their fathers and mothers, rolling and crawling, and scattered and retreated.Sthmun led the soldiers who were ambushed in the village below the embankment, and the Arpad thieves were powerless to resist it, so they could only desperately flee along the ice wall.Shi Simeng was happy to command on the embankment while watching the battle, suddenly, a personal soldier said that Alpad had escaped, Shi Simeng hurriedly chased after him, and shouted: "What Alpad, you go slowly!"
Didn't you let the flood drown us, why did you flee so fast?
”Ashamed and flustered, Alpad accidentally fell into the trap set by Sthsmond in advance, and several of his own soldiers desperately pulled him out and escorted him along the ice wall to escape.Shi Simon did not chase after him, and said: "Let him go, we killed about eighty percent of his soldiers today, even if he goes back, it will be difficult to live, and besides, I have prepared a good opponent for him, he can't run........."
What made Shi Simon happy was that this Al Pad had just escaped, and unfortunately fell into the pocket formation arranged by Shi Simon, and was caught, and the arrogant Aspard was cornered and became a prisoner, and the Avar attack finally ended in a fiasco.At the celebration banquet held in Fuzhou City, the eldest grandson asked Shi Simeng: "Dashuai, how do you know that the flood can form ice?"
”Shi Simeng said: "You, you know that dog meat is delicious, you see the dogs in Salai Village, one by one, shrunk into a ball, with their mouths to warm their belly and navel, this is actually a prediction that the cold wave is coming, but I was not completely sure at the time, so you are not allowed to kill the dog......"
Then Shi Simeng told the eldest grandson, because the pig's nose and mouth are hairless, in direct contact with the air, it is particularly sensitive to the cold, and it has a feeling before the cold wave arrives, and it will make a nest in the grass.When the weather is a little colder, they will stick their mouths into the grass, and if it is colder, they will burrow into the grass, and the sow will react more sensitively.Therefore, there has long been a proverb among the people about the pig bit grass and the cold wave.When the cold wave arrives, the river freezes.Shi Simeng flipped through the meteorological data, and in Fuzhou, there will be thick ice when the cold wave arrives.That morning, he went to see his sister-in-law's sow, and found that it was hiding in the hay, and then saw that the river on the edge of the village was beginning to freeze, and this was the time to attack, so he ordered the troops to march towards Fuzhou with all their might......
After finishing speaking, Shi Simeng looked at the eldest grandson, and then said, "As a general, you can't just care about eating and drinking......
If you want to win the battle, the right time and place are indispensable for people......
"Shi Simeng is still relatively satisfied with the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson is a relative of the emperor, but this kid is very brave in battle, often takes the lead, goes into battle to kill the enemy, is a good material for leading troops, well, otherwise he would not have taught his experience in leading troops........
Alpard's army was destroyed, the news reached Li Lu, Li Lu was naturally very happy, after he denounced the rebellion of the Avars, Ordered to take revenge on the Avar Khanate, located in the Pannonian plain, well, the most complete revenge, which was to destroy them.......
