Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 275
Pile of bonfires were lit outside Gongsun Xu's big tent, and all the high-ranking generals in the army were sitting around the bonfires, and Gongsun Xu was no exception. At this moment, there was a pile of bonfires in front of him, with a A smaller lamb, Gongsun Xu was messing with his dinner.

Bonfire parties like this are not common. Did Gongsun Xu do this? He also wanted to shorten the distance between everyone. After all, there is still a long way to go. If he wants to defeat the Huns cavalry, he will have to rely on his soldiers, especially The newly attached Montenegrin Army.

Everyone ate the barbecue that they had made and drank the special wine from northern Xinjiang. After a little effort, everyone who was originally detained was released at once, so Bai Rao and Zhang Yan still cared about their image, and the rest gathered together. The pile of guessing games and drinking orders began to yell.

For these, Gongsun Xu acquiesced, after eating half full, Gongsun Xu sat down and asked Bai Rao and Zhang Yan beside him: "How have the soldiers reacted recently, has anyone complained that I have trained too hard. "

"This can also be called hard work." Zhang Yan immediately replied: "Isn't it just running fifty miles a day? It's not like I haven't done it before. The brothers have long been used to it. Besides, now that you can run well and eat well, Regardless of eating meat, the brothers are very happy."

Gongsun Xu looked back at Bai Rao and asked, "What about your side?"

"There is no complaint." Bai Rao replied respectfully: "As General Zhang Yan said: "The soldiers are very fond of the treatment of having enough food and meat now, and even though they are marching fifty miles a day, the soldiers They are not dragged down by luggage, and generally speaking, it is not hard work. "

Gongsun Xu nodded and replied: "That's good, I was afraid that doing so would cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers. Now, we have entered the grassland area, and the next road is mostly a flat plain. Going to Wuyuan, in the next few days, we have to speed up the march."

Zhang Yan couldn't help asking: "What does the lord mean?"

"We still have such a long distance from Wuyuan, let alone the grassland camp. If we don't speed up, no one knows what will happen to the grassland camp. I lead the army to leave the grassland camp. It has been almost a month now, such a long time, enough for the Huns to counterattack.

Therefore, next, the marching speed must be increased. I have not received the battle report from that side for nearly ten days. Now that we have changed the route, it will be more difficult for the battle report from the grassland to reach me. Arrive at Wuyuan in time. "

"It's about 1000 miles away from Wuyuan. It would take several days for the cavalry. Of course, the lord's selection of the front army will not take so long, but if the marching speed is too demanding, I am afraid that many soldiers will fall behind. "Zhang Yan said worriedly.

"That's not a problem." Gongsun Xu said with a smile: "There are cavalry protecting the front and rear, and the infantry can catch up in time even if they fall behind, but the marching speed must be increased. Next, march at least a hundred miles a day.

Soldiers, you have to do a good job in ideological work, one hundred miles a day is not much, but you must maintain a good formation, and you must not let the soldiers fall behind easily, understand? "

"The general understands." Both Zhang Yan and Bai Rao replied.

After a while, Gongsun Xu asked Huang Xu next to him, "Have you checked out the surrounding situation?"

"I found out clearly." Huang Xu nodded and replied: "There are no nomadic tribes found within a radius of fifty miles. I have sent people to Wuyuan, and I believe there will be an answer within four days. However, the battle report on the grassland we Still can't get it."

Gongsun Xu nodded, and then said: "I'm not very worried about the grassland. With Wen and them, even if they can't suppress the Huns, they can at least defend the camp. What I'm worried about is Hetao. Side.

It has been so long, but there is no news from there. I hope nothing will happen. The key to our army's victory or defeat lies there. Alas, whether we can defeat the Xiongnu is all in one fell swoop. "

Everyone couldn't understand what Gongsun Xu was saying, even Huang Xu was confused.

The bonfire party continued, and the scouts outside the camp of the Northern Xinjiang Army did not rest. They wanted to ensure the safety of the camp.

At dawn the next day, the smell of rice was wafting in the northern Xinjiang military camp. The soldiers who had carnivaled last night all got out of the big tent early and got busy. The order was issued last night. The next few days will be urgent march training. If you eat meat, if you don’t perform well, you still watch others eat meat.

After enjoying the meal last night, almost no soldiers are willing to be lazy. What a pleasure to eat meat, who wants to let go.Isn't it just a hundred miles a day? Many Montenegro soldiers marched more than a hundred miles a day when they were fleeing for their lives. They were still hungry at that time.

Unlike now, there is enough food and meat, so the northern army dismantled their tents as soon as possible, and they had to march in formation after breakfast. No one wanted to be left behind.If anyone still wants to be lazy in this situation, I'm afraid there is no need for the military law enforcement officer to do it. The other soldiers in his team have already taught him a lesson.

After eating in the morning, everyone was asked to go to Huotou Army to get two flatbreads and a piece of jerky. These things were packed in leather bags. In order to ensure the speed of the march and test the endurance and determination of the soldiers, Gongsun Xu had to Revert to the tradition of two meals a day for a while.

However, this is not because Gongsun Xu is stingy. If he spends time at noon to allow the soldiers to enjoy a lunch, at least two hours will be wasted. Moreover, it may be difficult to increase the speed again after a quick march, especially after eating too much at noon. After the meal, most of the soldiers were probably thinking of taking the opportunity to have a good sleep.

Therefore, Gongsun Xu didn't plan to let the soldiers have a noon rest time. The next day would be spent in a rapid march, and the infantry had to bear it.

In order to improve morale, Zhang Yan took the initiative to ask for an order to walk with the soldiers. Considering that such a rapid march for the first time might indeed cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers, Gongsun Xu had no choice but to approve Zhang Yan's request, and at the same time ordered Huang Xu to lead the five soldiers. Thousands of cavalry were exploring the way ahead.

In this way, after breakfast, the Northern Xinjiang Army set off again. Many soldiers were still reminiscing about the delicious roast mutton or roast wolf meat yesterday. sheep.

In order to be able to eat fat yellow sheep again, the school captains shouted at the top of their voices: "Brothers, work harder, and behave better for me. Now you don't have to work hard, as long as we keep our formation and keep up with the big troops!" , there is still meat to eat tonight, brothers, don’t relax.”

Slogans similar to encouraging the soldiers to continue marching rang out one after another. However, the captains obviously underestimated the influence of the delicious meal last night. After setting off on the road today, the performance of all the troops was much better than the previous few days. Do not restrain officials.

In this way, the entire army marched for more than 60 miles after a morning march, but the team did not stop. Although they were a little tired after running all morning, the soldiers just slowed down and walked for an hour to relax. .

Now is the time when they are hungry, all the soldiers took out the big pancakes and chewed the dried meat. Although it was much worse than yesterday's meal, but compared to the time when they ran for their lives and didn't eat, now this meal, that meal It's simply too beautiful.

Many soldiers were walking and communicating with each other.

"Old Wang, why are you producing more pieces of jerky?"

"I didn't finish the meal yesterday, so I stayed here. Why, I'm not convinced. You all ate so hard yesterday like a ghost reincarnated. Hold on, hahahaha."

,,,,,,

Then, a team of cavalry ran around and shouted: "Brothers, speed up a little bit more. There is broth to drink five miles ahead. Everyone will line up to get it at that time. If you can't get ahead, keep going. Now every five miles There are stalls here, full of broth, don’t make a mess, take your time.”

"There is broth to drink, there is broth to drink,,,,,,"

The soldiers involuntarily accelerated their marching speed. It seems that the attraction of this broth and barbecue is really not covered. The soldiers who had just chewed the flatbread no longer felt that the flatbread was too dry, and their throats immediately became lubricated , Who else complained about why they didn't stop to rest, but now I don't see anyone complaining.

On a hillside in the distance, Gongsun Xu looked at the high-spirited soldiers, and he kept admiring in his heart: "Sure enough, it is the elite of the Black Mountain Army who has struggled on the edge of life and death for many years. They really have advantages in terms of physical strength and marching speed.

After traveling so much in the morning, I didn't see how many people were left behind. Hehe, there was an air of an elite army.However, my strategy of quenching thirst by smelling soup is much better than Cao Cao's strategy of quenching thirst by looking at plum blossoms. At least I am not trying to trick the big soldiers, hahahaha. "

At the front of the infantry team, Zhang Yan and hundreds of his soldiers were walking quickly. Their leg skills were more than 01:30 points better than those of ordinary soldiers. These soldiers had been trained by Zhang Yan for many years. Crossing mountains and ridges is no problem, and marching in this plain area is even more a piece of cake.

As for Zhang Yan, who took the initiative to ask Ying to walk, he is also leading the team in front of the team in a relaxed and comfortable manner at the moment. Run a hundred miles.

Seeing the broth supply place appeared in front of him, Zhang Yan immediately yelled: "Brothers, you have broth to drink, keep your formation and don't mess up, come one by one, haha, I will be the first to drink the soup .”

The rest of the soldiers cheered when they heard this. Although they were all very excited, no one would rush to the front to drink first. After all, the Northern Xinjiang Army pays attention to military regulations and order, especially at this time, no one can mess around. Rules.

Zhang Yan was the first to receive the broth. Looking at the thick layer of oil floating in the bowl, Zhang Yan laughed loudly and said, "I have nothing to say these days. The oil and water in a bowl of broth is the same as my previous meal." It’s almost the same, if I don’t run, I’m going to gain weight, hahaha.”

Everyone laughed when they heard it. What Zhang Yan said was indeed true. The broth is indeed quite generous. Everyone can find a piece or two of wolf or mutton in their own broth. This kind of treatment , The infantrymen who had been rushing all morning were not so tired.
