I am engaged in construction in Datang

library.

Li Xiu came again to check out, carrying his luggage.

This time he was no longer depressed, but full of fighting spirit.

"Mr. Li, when will you be back?" The young lady at the front desk was still there. She smiled and said, "When you come back this time, Mr. Li will definitely pass the imperial examination."

"Thank you for your good wishes." Li Xiu bowed.

He joined a pinyin exchange group, which was more suitable for him than being a teacher in Hebei Province.

To be a teacher in Hebei Province, one needs to be trained for half a year. They need to teach children some different subjects, such as arithmetic, science, politics, etc.

And the added score is fixed.

But there is no limit to the spread of pinyin and other things.

In the past few days, Li Xiu has learned pinyin from the teachers in the village, and now he is very proficient in it.

The exchange meeting also gave each of them a set of pinyin dictionaries, some particularly thick books, which belonged to them.

He opened it and took a look, and found that there were many words he didn't recognize before!

Now he could actually read the pinyin on the top of the head.

There are explanations, phrases and sentences at the end to let him know what it means.

Hey, this is a priceless stuff!

"Li Xiu, are you ready? We have been waiting for you for a long time."

A group of students were talking loudly outside the door. They were shouting Li Xiu loudly with unstoppable smiles on their faces.

"It will be ready soon!"

Li Xiu took the commemorative album given by the young lady, which contained blank paper for him to write on.

"Mr. Li."

The lady at the counter chuckled and said, "There are boats to cross the sea and roads to travel in the mountains. I wish you a thousand miles to win the list. This time the mountains are high and the waters are long. I wish you smooth sailing and a bright future."

Tears welled up in Li Xiu's eyes. He bent down and bowed to the young lady, not daring to stand up for a long time.

"Li Xiu! Hurry up, what are you dawdling for?"

The urging voices of his colleagues rang out again outside the door, and Li Xiu leaned over and shouted, "Got it!"

After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.

It was sunny outside and there was a lot of noise from traffic.

There are too many unspeakable things in the world. Just move forward and time will give all the answers.

……

Desert.

The station was in complete silence. Everyone stood there quietly. Even the horses had stopped neighing.

"Get on the horse!"

Hou Junji shouted loudly and took the lead.

Li Xiaoqiu and others followed closely behind and rode on the horses that they had been reluctant to ride before.

During the war, horses not only had to carry people, but also had to wear heavy horse armor. In this extremely dry desert, they always had a harder time than humans.

The strong wind blew Li Xiaoqiu's hair, and sand hit her face and flew through her hair.

Now, not only her palms, but also her cheeks and neck have become dark yellow and rough. If the owner of the manor saw it, he would definitely say something bad.

Zhao Tianzhu rode beside her on horseback.

The army was solemn and dignified, and everyone had a tense expression and stared forward.

"The enemy is exhausted tonight, this is a great time to make achievements!"

Hou Junji rode in the front on horseback. They had only about 5,000 people, and only about 800 of them were equipped with guns, which was a big difference compared to the enemy.

"The Sharpshooters are leading the way, and the Heavy Cavalry are on top. I'm going to make sure they never come back!!!"

The guard beside him pulled Hou Junji closer and whispered, "General, please keep him, please keep him."

Hou Junji glared: "I know!"

After saying this, he rode his horse into a gallop, and everyone followed closely behind him.

far away.

Gaochang station.

The garrison soldier suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. He looked forward in confusion and was about to ask his comrades beside him, but he saw a horse running towards him frantically in the distance.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"The reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty have arrived!" The man ran non-stop to the main tent and rolled down in front of the tent curtain.

"General, the Tang reinforcements have arrived and are rushing towards this place."

"How many troops?"

A powerful voice came from the tent.

"It is estimated that there are more than 5,000 people."

"More than 5,000 people?" The people in the tent laughed loudly: "Five thousand people dare to attack?"

As he spoke, the man walked out of the tent, holding a lance in one hand, and said sternly, "Prepare for battle. Today, I will make sure they never come back!"

"If they dare to interfere in Gaochang's affairs, I will definitely teach them a lesson."

Soon, a soldier came over: "General, the horses are ready, but they are a little...weak."

"...It doesn't matter." The man sighed. Who could have thought that the war would come so quickly? They had no reaction at all, and the starving horses had not yet been fed back in time.

More than ten thousand people stood in front of the tent, howling.

"Go!" The man rode a big horse and rushed towards the enemy. The soldiers behind him ran out like mad dogs...

No one thought anything was wrong; that's what everyone did during a war.

Hou Junji set up the telescope again, and the bright color of the torch finally appeared in his sight.

"The Sharpshooter Battalion!" Hou Junji joined the ranks of the Sharpshooter Battalion soldiers and also raised a long spear: "Ready--"

The two teams approached rapidly.

"shot!"

Bullets flew through the darkness at high speed, and gunshots rang out one after another.

The horses of the Tang Dynasty had been specially trained and were already familiar with such noises, but the horses of Gaochang were frightened one after another.

They were hungry, tired and scared, and were suddenly frightened and could not bear it.

The Gaochang soldiers reacted quickly, using whipping to inflict pain on the horses to force them to obey, but before they could even catch their breath, their brothers beside them fell down inexplicably.

"What happened! Where is the arrow?" General Gao Chang was horrified. He only heard a few "bangs" and hadn't even seen the shadow of the arrow. How come the person next to him fell down?

"General, he's dead." The guards came over with an ugly look on their faces. "There was a fist-sized cut on his body."

"What is that?" The big man looked grim. How could he fight this time?

The other side didn't have a single casualty, but nearly 10% of their men had already fallen...

The guard shook his head: "I don't know."

There was incessant gunfire from the opposite side, and the soldiers on horses around them fell one after another. The Gaochang people finally began to panic.

"God's punishment! God's punishment!"

"Why can't I see any arrows? Why are there no arrows?"

"It can penetrate shields!"

"How can we fight like this? Are we going to die?"

The timid ones began to collapse, as the horses and brothers around them died inexplicably and mysteriously.

Seeing this, the general also hesitated.

If he went any further, his own life would be in danger.

The Gaochang people stopped advancing, while the Tang army was still slowly approaching.

The general finally couldn't stand the torture anymore and shouted in fear: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

After saying this, he turned around and fled with his guards.

Seeing this, Hou Junji ordered his troops to speed up their pace and closely follow the enemy.

The saying of "don't pursue the desperate enemy" does not work at this moment.

"No killing of surrendered prisoners!"

"No killing of surrendered prisoners!!!"

The Gaochang soldiers who ran slowly were forced to abandon their armor and helmets, and huddled in place, not daring to move an inch. How could they not kill the surrendered prisoners at this moment? Swords and knives are merciless on the battlefield.

He was surprised to find that the Tang army did not kill him.

When others saw that he was safe, they followed suit, and even those who had run far away began to surrender.
