Chapter 177: Planned Selection
The moment they stepped on the official road, Meng Ge and the others were all relieved. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThese days, they are in the mountains, and they are really worried about another sneak attack.
Fortunately, until now, no one has come out to rob the road. In the words of Deputy Commander Tian, it was because it was inconvenient to pull away grain from the mountains.
Really out of the mountain, on the smooth official road, the carriage ran more smoothly.
It's just that the smoother they go, the more nervous they become. At this time, as long as someone rushed out from the side to catch them off guard, they could not protect all the grain and grass trucks.
At this point, even the most experienced veteran in the army is helpless.
Meng Ge had already sent the black iron eggs to the more than a dozen people who were responsible for using firearms this time.
Just as the carriage was speeding forward, Meng Ge explained: "Remember where you should stand, and if you meet anyone later, don't come forward, just throw something into the enemy." Remember to protect your own life first, there must be archers on the other side. ā
Meng Ge's explanation made the people who were originally a little slack all cheered up.
Zhou Changan once discussed with Meng Ge, wanting more people to master the use of black iron eggs, so that Meng Ge and them would not be in a hurry and couldn't take care of that much.
It's not that Meng Ge doesn't want to popularize this good thing. It's just that before coming, Wang Ran and the deputy general explained to her, asking her to keep these iron balls and not let others take them.
Although, Zhou Changan and others have always been curious about this thing, and they are also shocked by its power. It's just that Meng Ge confessed to his superiors, so he didn't even let those people touch it.
Even if Deputy Commander Tian is a person who Meng Ge admires very much, Meng Ge has never touched the iron ball for him, even if he looks closely, he doesn't even look at it.
The group tensed their nerves and galloped nervously for a day, and at night, they finally arrived at a slightly larger outpost camp.
This was the second post they passed through on the road. In the following days, they will be able to pass through two outposts and directly reach the pylorus pass.
The Pylorus Pass is located in the northland to the west. To the north, there are large grasslands, to the east are the mountains, and to the west, there is the Gobi. As for the south, that's where Mongo is.
At this point, the further north they went, the deeper the snow became.
It was only at this time that Zhou Changan felt that the decision to modify the car was right. Otherwise, just by the wheel, I am afraid that they have not yet walked out of that mountain road.
Originally, their formation in the mountains was expected to take about five days. Now on the day of going out to delay the modified car, they left the mountain nearly two days early.
If it hadn't been for that fight in the mountains, I'm afraid they would have come out earlier.
It can be seen that in the snow, it is more convenient to use the transportation to the north. Zhou Changan had to admit this.
At the same time, he was also very glad that he was not stubborn at that time.
Entering the outpost, the garrison was extremely surprised when they looked at the grain and grass carts that had not lost at all.
The commander of a battalion at the outpost asked: "You haven't encountered a robbery along the way, and how long have you been in the mountains?"
Deputy Commander Tian was very familiar with the battalion commander, and could even make inconsistency jokes on his shoulders.
Seeing the commander's incredulous appearance, he couldn't help but joke: "No, we are lucky that we have never encountered any trouble in the mountains." ā
Having said that, Deputy Commander Tian did not slack off at all and asked the battalion commander to settle their wounded.
"Those Yuan troops are too fierce, we broke two hundred good people into this time, and injured no less than eight hundred, of which nearly four hundred people can't continue to go on the road with us this time. Deputy Commander Tian patted the battalion commander's shoulder with a heavy face and said.
Originally, all this should have been arranged by Zhou Changan. Who would have thought that after Chang'an entered the outpost this week, he called himself tired and miserable, and he wanted to go to rest, so that Meng Ge and Deputy Commander Tian would settle the people.
In fact, everyone knows that Zhou Changan is psychologically unbalanced.
When we were on the road, we were moving very fast. Because Meng Ge made something like a snowboard, let people step on their feet, run with the carriage, or use the pull of the carriage to move forward, making Zhou Chang'an, who was riding a horse, look like a clumsy old man, always lagging behind.
However, Zhou Changan was reluctant to get off the horse. In his opinion, when the enemy army is coming, if he sits on a horse, he can find out the situation as soon as possible.
Besides, it's better to run away on horseback than on your legs.
Meng Ge saw that he had been persuaded repeatedly, but he was unwilling to dismount, so he stopped saying anything.
However, after the speed came up, they had to stop and wait for Zhou Chang'an, who was riding a horse and walking slowly behind the team.
If it weren't for Zhou Changan, I was afraid that they would still be able to leave the mountain two hours in the morning.
This night, Meng Ge and the others were without exception, and they could rest very sweetly.
I thought that they would be able to sleep here until dawn and then go on the road tremblingly. Who would have thought that in the second half of the night, the outpost was attacked.
The number of people who came to attack the outpost was a thousand more than the number of people who had been in the mountains the previous day.
Those people are serious, and there are archers. Even if the outpost was walled, it would not be able to withstand their assault.
Mongo and the others were awakened from their slumber and joined the battle before they could get dressed.
Sleeping in the same bunk with Meng Ge were the soldiers who used firearms. Everyone didn't need Meng Ge to explain, they each carried the iron eggs they had been assigned and rushed to the battlefield.
Of course, at this time, the enemy troops who were attacking the outpost had already attacked.
Their purpose is very clear, that is, to grab food. I just can't grab it, just set it on fire.
So the tips of the arrows of those people were tied with strips of cloth soaked in oil.
The rain of swords poured in from the outside without stopping, burning many roofs. Fortunately, Meng Ge and the others had thought of this stubble earlier, and the place where the car was stored was covered up, and the grain was not lost at all.
Outside, there were more than 3,000 enemy troops, and the offensive was very fierce. Xu knew the reason why Zhao Jiajun had powerful weapons, and those enemy troops were very hard, and they didn't give Zhao Jiajun a chance to breathe at all.
Seeing more and more people falling, Meng Ge was a little embarrassed. If she continues to hold on to these grenades and doesn't let more people know how to use them, I'm afraid that in the end, few of them will survive.
Thinking so, Meng Ge made a decision. She was going to increase the number of grenades thrown to two hundred.
As for which side those people are selected from, she can only have the final say.
