Chapter 3 Guide Officer
"After a day of training, I have made modest progress."
"Level up."
In the spring of March, the front-line barracks were quiet at night, and only the occasional hound barked twice.
Tian Xin, who had not slept for a long time, was lying in the innermost part of the barracks, and Xue Rong, the tun chief near the door at the other end of the bunk, was snoring.
The snoring interfered, Tian Xin closed his eyes and meditated and focused, and a panel came to mind.
Tian Xin, Level 2.
Constitution 11;
Intelligence 9;
Charm 7.
Talent 1: Level 3 Iron Bone;
Talent 2: Level 1 Attack;
Talent 3: First-level iron wall;
Talent four; Level 1 Walking;
Talent 5: Level 1 Healing.
Points can be added to the remaining talents: two.
In one month, his constitution increased from the original nine to eleven, his intelligence expanded from seven to nine, and his charm increased from five to seven.
Even his height has increased rapidly from 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 5 inches, and he still looks lean despite diligent training.
After the two talent points were added to the walk, Tian Xin fell into a deep sleep.
At dawn, when Tian Xin was cooking corn porridge with Benshiwu Paoze, the tun chief Xue Rong returned to the camp with the order: "I am assigned to the other department of Micheng, and the prince sends Zhao Yue as the Sima of the other department, and a certain family serves as the chief of Zuoququ. ”
Shi Chang Pang Ji got up and congratulated him: "He Xue Jun moved right!" ”
Xue Rong waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "At noon, each tun will assemble and will escort a batch of equipment to march south. I don't know exactly where. ”
"To the south?"
Pang Ji condensed, Xue Rong bowed slightly, and his expression was solemn: "It's to the south." ”
There is Hanshui in the east, the Jingzhou Naval Division is strong, and the Hanshui is the back garden of the Jingzhou Army, and the auxiliary soldiers are very safe to load and unload and carry materials along the coast; The south side is the Yangtze River, and it stands to reason that the Han River leads to the Yangtze River, and the naval division troops can go through the Han River and transport materials in the direction of Jiangling in the south.
In fact, the confluence of the Han River and the Yangtze River is Hankou in Jiangxia, which is an important stronghold of the Wu army; Baqiu, the confluence of the Xiangjiang River into the Yangtze River, was also an important stronghold of the Wu army, which not only blocked the passage of Jingzhou's sailors to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but also blocked the water traffic between Jiangling and Wuling, Yuanjiang and Lingling Xiangjiang.
After the Xiangshui Alliance, the Han army and the Wu army took the Xiangshui-Yangtze River as the boundary, but the two important water villages of Baqiu and Jiangxia stuck the throat of the Jingzhou water division.
On the surface, the Jingzhou army owned the territory west of the Hunan River, but the main artery of water transportation was cut off by the two strongholds of Jiangxia and Baqiu, making the overall force scattered and difficult to gather. In peacetime, the two families are in harmony, and there is no problem in transporting manpower and material resources, but concealed military moves or important equipment transportation cannot be transported by water.
In the morning, the seven tuns collected were gathered in a rear camp one after another, and after the new Sima Zhao Yue showed the official documents, the seven tun auxiliaries rushed in, but he ordered the auxiliaries to arm.
Auxiliaries are resistant to wearing armor, which means taking on the responsibility of battle, means harsher military discipline, and means that running away in battle can be a burden.
Although Xue Rong, the tun chief, was promoted to Qu Chang, there was only one more tun in his hand, and he was still in charge of Bentun.
He repeatedly promised in the queue: "This time it is just to transport armor and bows and crossbows, and the armor can save chariots and horses, and chariots and horses can transport more bows and crossbows, and nothing else." ”
An old soldier who has served for many years hesitated to say: "Tun Chief, I'm afraid that this armor has an iron hook, and if you put on this iron hook, you will scratch it into the flesh and you won't be able to take it off." ”
"It's just that it's easy to transport, if you can't trust Xue, can't you still trust the prince?"
Xue Rong expressed his indignation in a long tone, and the auxiliaries laughed stupidly, and no one dared to refute.
And Tian Xin had already come out of the ranks, tore off a two-crotch armor weighing about 30 pounds from the car, checked it, put it on his body, and tied the knot by himself.
The two crotch armor of the bust style are side-open, like a cotton jacket with a diagonal collar.
Seeing him do it, several immature young people like Tian Xin stepped forward to search for suitable armor, these are brand new armor, shoulders and torso are decorated with fish scales and iron, although the protection is not comprehensive, but it is flexible and easy to manufacture.
What's more, the military order has been issued, and the auxiliary army has no choice but to step forward and wear two crotch armor, and there are only two crotch armor and iron helmets. Other detailed accessories, such as belts, shawls, and leather shoes, which were only available to soldiers, were not distributed, so that the auxiliaries could rest assured.
In the afternoon, the auxiliary troops of the seven tun temporary formations set out on the road, with about 1,000 men, escorting 120 ox carts and horse-drawn carts to the south.
In the procession, Nakata Shin carried a shield on his back, a saber, a kettle, and a bag of dry food from his waist, and carried the iron halberd of Shichang Pang Ji in both hands.
The iron halberd is nine feet long, which is the standard equipment of grassroots military officials, and is used exclusively for fighting, which is different from guns and spears.
On the way, Sima Zhaoyue rode a horse and Xue Rong passed by, discussing military aircraft.
Tian Xin faintly heard phrases such as 'Yidu is too obedient to the order', 'Keji', 'Hanzhong', and 'pinch'.
This is already the southern suburb of Yicheng in the south of Xiangyang City, Cao's army takes Yidu County as its stronghold, and Xianshan and Taolinsai are guarded by the outer barriers, and the large and small camps and strongholds of the two armies are staggered, with about 20,000 or 30,000 people.
When it gets dark, arrive at a stronghold built near the water and spend the night.
When each tun was gathering for dinner, Xue Rong entered the simple barracks and stood to explain his intentions: "Three days later, the escort equipment of our department will be handed over to the Yidu Taishou Mengfu Junsuo, Zhao Sima learned that many soldiers from our tun moved from Hanzhong, I don't know whether to move to Guanzhong and Luoyang, or to move to Yong and Fangling?" ”
A few auxiliary soldiers who were barely counted as Tian Xin's fellow villagers looked at each other and no one spoke first, Tian Xin reminisced a little and sorted out the relationship, and replied with a smile: "Qu Chang, originally the officials of Hanzhong wanted to move us from Guanzhong to Hanoi through Luoyang to Yecheng. After Guanzhong was full of conscription in Chencang Road, he changed from Shangyong, Fangling, and Nanyang to Yecheng via Yingchuan. ”
Xue Rong exhaled lightly, glanced at the others, handed out a silk book to Tian Xin and said: "Yidu Taishou Mengfu Jun will enter Hanzhong from Langzhong to participate in the war by the order of General Zuo, and there is a shortage of guides. The official document has been moved to the Dangkou General's Mansion, intending to recruit guides who are familiar with the road. I heard that Meng Fujun is from Fufengmei County, and he is from the same county as Tian Jun, and I want to recommend Tian Jun to Meng Fujun. ”
Yidu is too shou Mengda, one of the four bigwigs of the Dongzhou department, and the left general Liu Beizheng is the same county partner of the red plot master Fa Zheng, and he is a close friend.
Tian Xin looked around left and right, but saw that several auxiliary soldiers who had fled from Hanzhong hung their heads and were silent, so he got up and picked up the silk book handed by Xue Rong, and flipped through it to read.
Xue Rong saw that he was reading carefully, and put away his contempt, and the other auxiliary soldiers were also surprised.
Go to work under Meng Da, and then go to Hanzhong to fight?
He was quite looking forward to it, and he didn't dare to be too active within the Jingzhou Army, so as not to affect the 'flooded Seventh Army', which was the overall situation of the Jingzhou Army, and everything else had to stand aside.
Moreover, now the Jingzhou army is only confronting Cao Ren, and there is no sign of large-scale counterattacks and battles, and the confrontation is not fierce.
Weekday work and simple training have limited self-improvement, and only by fighting and killing can you quickly improve your strength.
Tian Xin folded the silk book and handed it back with both hands: "Qu Chang, Tian is willing to die for General Zuo." ”
Xue Rong smiled: "Good." ”
