In a camp tent, the team leader introduced the girl that their team had just been promoted from the Tuntian Army to the Dreadnought Army not long ago.

In addition to training, the main thing in the military camp is to hunt and do some carpenter work. Relatively speaking, most of them are not good at talking, and they are incoherent about the deeds of killing Jiang Yiqu.

Only the silly boy named Qian Jing in front of him, because he had been in exile for a long time in his early years, had to learn all kinds of begging and begging words, so he was the best to say.

The young man sitting on the side interrupted: "Team rate, didn't you say that you won't reveal my old bottom?" ”

The team leader played haha, thinking that he was a disciple of the talented woman Cai Yan, who came to interview the Shangdang campaign and killed the general Jiang Yiqu, of course, everything had to be explained to others.

The two of them rambled for a while, only to find that the girl was listening attentively without saying a word.

The team rate did not dare to slack off, and was busy asking Qian Jing to introduce the situation of this battle, but he didn't know how to talk about it.

The girl introduced: "It's really rude, I didn't let people make it clear in advance." Please also point out my omissions later, and I will definitely do my best to improve them. ”

Team leader and Qian Jing hurriedly apologized and hurried to the point.

The girl introduced her as Xie Zhao, mainly because she wanted to do an instant oral history, and she only needed to tell it normally.

Of course, this kind of oral history pursues truth, and the closer it is to life, the better, and in addition to describing the war, it must also reflect the real military service, so as to complement the history books.

The soldier named Qian Jing introduced that he was a non-commissioned officer of Tuntian at that time.

He responded to the Marquis of Jaw Yang to join the Tuntian to recover the northern Xinjiang, and he did have a heroic dream, but it was more to improve his life. In addition to the original rations when the Tuntian army was fighting, it did have a military salary that seemed to be good.

The Tuntian Army, a subordinate of the Xinxi Liang Army, began to pay soldiers extra salaries very early.

Take archers such as Qian Jing as an example, the performance in training reaches the top half, and in addition to the basic food, there is a quarterly bonus.

The meritorious service can bring about the improvement of social status, personal combat bravery, accurate archery and outstanding performance, can be promoted. If you have a mind in combat or are good at observation and analysis, you can also develop in the direction of military politics or scouting.

In ancient times, many people fought wars, and they fought to climb out of the pile of dead people, and they could make a lot of money. The Dreadnoughts and Tuntian Army did not suffer heavy losses most of the time, but with the rapid expansion of their power, most of the soldiers could have a significant increase in positions as long as they worked hard.

In particular, if all members of a team have outstanding performance, they can be promoted to the Dreadnought, and although their families are still in the military, they can have priority in education and medical care.

Who doesn't fight for this?

Qian Jing introduced that before setting off from the military tun this time, the tun commander conveyed the military order of the general Zhenbei.

Before the local Haoqiang clan made it clear and supported their own side, they should also be treated as friendly to the people of the Han Dynasty, and if it was not for the other party to act first, the Xinxi Liang Army must not harm any non-Yuan army personnel.

Even in the face of the Yuan army, he should maintain a kingly attitude, treat the other party's prisoners well, and entrust the enemy's lightly wounded and sick to the Tuntian Army Medical Department for treatment.

No matter what outsiders said about them before, now they are the king's masters, the strongest in the world.

Xie Zhao basically recorded all the contents according to the dictation.

An important reason for the streamlining of historical materials in this era is that bamboo slips are bulky, and the quality and yield of paper need to be improved. Fortunately, with the financial support of Tong Yuan and Dong Bai, the Wenguan led by Cai Yan provided a relatively sufficient amount of paper, and this time the history of the front-line war, especially the accompanying oral history, was recorded on paper.

Qian Jing went on to introduce the perspective of his experience.

Because the well-equipped and well-supplied Xinxi Liang army had been blocking Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses from retreating to Fukou, Yuan's army moved slowly in the cold mountains, and even tried to block the followers of the Xinxi Liang army by dividing his troops.

With the support of the Scout Department and the local Haoqiang, their Tuntian army can basically know the movements of the enemy army at any time.

In the previous battle to ambush Wen Chou and stop Zhang He, they were mainly not put into the front line as a reserve. If Yuan Tan ordered Jiang Yiqu to lead a large army north, then they would go all out to block the reinforcements and directly eat Yan Liangbu. Instead of annihilating Wen Chou first, he was besieging Yan Liang.

As ordinary soldiers, they were also informed of the basic arrangements of the campaign, as well as the direct tasks of the various units. It will not only be known to the top, blindly followed by the bottom, or rumors spread.

The dreadnought army system is more complete, and the military officers will prepare some equipment sites for specific environments and tasks in advance, so that soldiers and horses have the opportunity to practice. The political and religious military officials made special analysis and persuasion of the challenges they might encounter in order to relieve the pressure on the soldiers.

Therefore, they will not have a situation where they are completely ignorant of the number of enemy troops and have no bottom in their hearts before they go into battle.

Xie Zhao had never been in contact with the soldiers on the other princes' side, so he didn't have a deep understanding of this. However, her pen and paper will not be slackened and leave out any important content.

After more than ten days of eliminating Wen Chou, they moved south to the mountainous area where Yuan's army was stationed. The ordinary soldiers found that Yuan Jun had already robbed the homes of the people along the way, and most of the people who were killed were ** bodies, and there was no food, firewood, or clothes left.

The team led a meeting and came back to tell everyone that some people who had fled to the mountains had been rescued by friendly forces in Montenegro.

According to the analysis, the number of Yuan troops was very large, and the materials carried were given priority to Yuan Tan and the generals, resulting in enough materials to be stored for them to use, and the soldiers simply took food from the people to survive.

When Yuan Tan passed in front, the first wave was enlisted, and Jiang Yiqu was stationed in the mountains to receive Wen Chou and Yan Liang to take the second wave. Hearing that Wen Chou was defeated, these Yuan troops robbed the third wave, and resolutely did not leave anything for the Xinxi Liang army.

They destroyed all roads, bridges, and facilities, and burned all the houses they could see, so that the pursuers could not use them and could only consume their own supplies.

It's really cold in the mountains, and even with winter clothes, your hands and feet are cold. In particular, scouts can't light too many campfires when they are near enemy troops, and can only keep warm by moving around or with food.

There are also some poor Montenegrin army brothers, some of whom are always awakened by freezing at night, and have to get up before dawn to warm up.

We have a carbon stove, the fire is small, the effect is good, that is, it must be ventilated according to the requirements, otherwise it will not be allowed at all. Later, we used mainly charcoal and stone, and they lit a campfire a little further back.

Fortunately, the enemy was in a much worse condition than ours, and as soon as night came, some of the scouts and others retreated to the campfire. Our scouts easily spotted them and lurked closer, so they captured quite a few prisoners.

It was also during the interrogation of the prisoners of war along the way that we learned that Yuan Jun heard that there were more archers in the Xinxi Liang army, and they cut down a lot of trees, some for fuel, and more into wooden signs, small ones were handheld, and the large ones surrounded the camp in a large circle to block the arrows.

Jiang Yiqu was also one of the most knowledgeable soldiers in Yuan's army, and after preparing to use wooden cards and counter-shooting to consume our bow and arrow arm strength, he and his cavalry were specially prepared to counter us.

Hearing these news, some people in the army began to worry, and several other shield-spearmen-based teams said that they would go all out when the fight started, and there was no need to fear the opponent's cavalry. No matter how fierce the other party is, the end is estimated to be similar to that of Wen Chou's group of cavalry.

A few days later, I heard that the dreadnought army Xu Huang, Yu Poison and others were fighting at a critical moment. They are head-on and may strike at any time. In addition, in order to prevent the other party from breaking through, or the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry to kill him.

Every night, the scouts' soldiers and horses move around the camp like owls, keeping an eye on each other's directions and keeping warm. Anyway, when they come back in the morning, there is steaming mutton soup waiting for them.

Of course, at night a young general would also take the scribes up to patrol the camp with lanterns and inspect the soldiers' weapons and winter clothing.

Later, I heard from others that the person who often carried lanterns and night patrols was the general of Zhenbei himself.

Later, in the continuous freezing rain and northwest winds, everyone barely had a good rest. Worse than cold is wetness, which makes winter clothes and charcoal fire less effective. Everyone remembered that if only those houses had not been burned down and demolished, they hated the ruthlessness of the enemy even more.

Skirmishes continued, we took turns to call for battle in front of the mountain, and the enemy took a defensive position and never came out.

But this was not a problem for our generals and strategists, who launched surprise attacks at night, killing Yuan's scouts and destroying the outlying positions. As soon as Yuan's army attacked, they immediately retreated, and the other party was afraid of the night and cold, and did not dare to fight us at night.

One night, our troops drew out hundreds of enemy troops. Our troops and horses happened to be ambushed at the foot of the mountain, and the undulating attack was not shouted at all, but directly touched it, and there was a round of arrow rain first.

The enemy gathers in the dark of night, and it is easy to distinguish it from our scouts and raiders. In front of the crowd, the spearmen crouched in front of us in two rows. We roared from the owl monster and fifty arrows flew towards the crowd.

Soon, screams and exclamations rang out. Tun Chang shouted and led everyone to rush over.

The front-row shield spearmen approached the enemy and deliberately lowered their posture and defended with their shields. We archers followed right behind, calmly releasing our arrows even if it was only a dozen steps.

Yuan's army was already afraid of cold winter night battles, and it had been suppressed by our army for a long time, and I only released five arrows, and the enemy was defeated. That night, forty or fifty enemies were killed and nearly 100 people were captured alive.

After a few days, Jiang Yiqu's troops were exhausted, and the periphery of the camp was also destroyed by our army, and the antlers and shields were almost not intact.

It wasn't until Yuan Tan sent reinforcements that we reduced the harassment a little, and instead called for open battle, and defeated the enemy twice head-on.

After direct contact, I feel that Yuan Jun's individual martial arts are not bad, but his physical strength is not comparable to ours, but this is not the most critical.

Speaking of this, Qian Jing thought slightly, as if recalling the past, and sighed at the great changes tonight.
