The next morning, the sun shone in, warm, woke up the morning laziness, and retreated from the darkness of the night.

Lin Maolin ran along the mountain, his steps were fast and rhythmic, one step at a time, two steps at a time, two steps and three steps, each step was heavily stepped on the ground. Looking at the steep dirt road all the way, Lin Maolin stared at the path and everything around him, feeling the birdsong, the rustle of the leaves in the wind, and the steep and undulating mountains between the mountains. Huge rocks on the top of the mountains, standing in the mountains, some towering, some low-lying, along the mountain, because of a picture scroll in general, the stones are like ink pens embellished on the paper, dignified and free.

When running, don't forget to use your brain to remember, to think, to recall, to copy.

Looking at the crooked mountains, although you can only see the distance of only a hundred meters in front of you, but the fairy picture scroll imprinted in your eyes has long been deeply imprinted in your mind, linked to your mind is a gorgeous picture, in this painting of your own, dotted with countless little people, they are like the overlord in the jungle, sometimes like the prey of arrest, no matter how strong the enemy is, through their flexible figure and familiarity with the terrain, they can always dodge the fatal blow in times of danger.

Along such a fantasy, Lin Maolin's brain became more flexible, and the roads he passed, the trees he passed by, the mud he saw, and all kinds of things emerged.

Just when he was engrossed, a voice came: "General Lin, it's early"

Lin Maolin came back to his senses in a trance, looked left and right, but saw no one, and said kindly: "May I ask which brother it is?"

A voice came faintly from the depths of the mountain forest, and a soldier in a military uniform poked out his entire body, but his small body was very capable.

Lin Maolin asked: "Excuse me, what are you doing so early?"

The soldier came to Lin Maolin, panting and sweating profusely, and said, "General Lin, I'll train."

General Lin asked, "What is the training?"

The soldier blinked and said, "The stupid bird flies first, it will be a group training in a while, and if you don't come in advance, you won't be able to keep up with the training." As he spoke, the soldier wiped the sweat from his forehead and bathed in the morning dew, with a bright smile on his face.

Lin Maolin was very pleased and encouraged: "Come on." Then he was already running up the hill. Although war is not lonely, it is destined to be lonely when training, and when you are alone, you think more thoroughly and understand more.

Not long after, standing on the top of the mountain, Lin Maolin, by looking at the surrounding mountains for the first time, his eyes scanned two or three times, when he went down the mountain, his eyes stared at the road ahead, and the shape and trend of the mountain kept appearing in his mind, walking back through the mountain road, seeing one or two sentry posts from time to time, entering the inspection all over the place, saying some words of encouragement, and some words of condolence, and soon returned to his camp, full of thoughts.

Time flies, the sun shines in the sky, the huge sound made by the soldiers when they train resounded throughout the camp, the cold moon chasing the wind is also outside to lead the soldiers to train, bows and arrows, spears, knives, these are their daily compulsory courses, for them, the bow and arrow is the most important, resisting the scorching sun, in the high temperature of more than 30 degrees, occupying the mountain, training sweating profusely.

The back kitchen brought delicious food, and then shouted, "It's time to eat, brothers have a rest." ”

All the soldiers stopped their training, everyone was hungry, training for hours, the energy and water of the body were exhausted, leaving them only the tired body, rows of soldiers came up, eating like a small battlefield, the sound of noise and trampling, the sound of ear.

Some sat on the ground in the distance with food, and some hid in the shade of trees, eating, and when eating, they did not forget to tease and play with their brothers on the side.

Because the place where they trained was very close to the original battlefield, they looked at it but saw Gong Yuqi leading the soldiers to kneel in twos and threes, and in a clearing in the distance, there were five people in front of and behind them, kneeling all morning, which made people inexplicably worried.

Lin Maolin happened to pass by, after a day of training, sweat had already soaked his clothes, and he was very happy when he saw the soldiers eating, so he stepped forward, said hello with a smile, and said: "Brothers, hard work, today's sun is really fierce." ”

The five soldiers sat under the tree to eat, and when they saw General Lin coming, they stopped what they were doing, stood up, and said in unison, "General Lin is good"

Lin Maolin made a relaxed gesture and said, "You're welcome, everyone is a family, sit down and chat." ”

Lin Maolin came to them, and the five of them behaved very solemnly, Lin Maolin said: "How has the training been recently, let's get used to it." ”

The soldiers nodded one after another, and one soldier said excitedly: "Habit, I want to be as heroic as General Lin." ”

The soldier's immature face rippled, and his emaciated cheeks, in the sunlight, were bright, green, and energetic.

A firm look looked at the soldier and said in a reassuring tone: "Okay, the young man has a future, he has ambitions, and he will definitely become a good general in the future." ”

The soldier listened to Lin Maolin's words, instantly became excited, put the food in his hand, stood up, looked up to the sky and roared, and said, "I, Liang Zhiyi, will have that day."

It attracted everyone's attention at once, and when several soldiers looked at the young man, they also saw Lin Maolin, and they all took the food in their hands, and couldn't wait to move around the palm-sized shade of the five people where Lin Maolin was located, so that because the shade was too small, it blocked more than a dozen people, and everyone else listened under the sun.

Leng Yue Chasing Wind was still in the distance, holding an iron bowl with rice and a little bit of food, looking up at the giant mountain range in the distance. When he heard the lively discussion of the soldiers below, he couldn't help but look over, and was attracted by a strange energy, came to the side of this team, pulled the crowd, and when he came to Lin Maolin's side, he only saw a general demonstrating marksmanship in the crowd, and the spear went away, accompanied by some voices explaining the essence of marksmanship such as "arm strength, waist lift, foot pad" and so on.

After looking at it three or two times, Lin Maolin touched his forehead, and the sweat dripped down little by little, and evaporated in an instant on the hot earth.

"Alright, alright, that's all for today. Everyone's training time is almost up. It's all scattered."

Just as everyone was dispersed, a figure walked in the opposite direction of the crowd.

The man suddenly said, "General Lin, do you want to go to the limit in the next training?"

Lin Maolin smiled knowingly and said, "Who did I think it was, it turned out to be General Leng." Of course, it seems that everyone has been doing quite well lately. ”

Leng Yue Chasing the Wind sneered noncommittally, and then said in a slightly encouraging tone: "Of course, the brothers have made progress, and they will get stronger and stronger, but there are some things that have to be said, that is, our situation is not very good now, it may not be long before there are good days, there are more and more enemies under the mountain, and our food has become the biggest problem." ”

Lin Maolin showed a comprehensible expression, a little complaining, but instantly turned into full of enthusiasm and said, "Let."

Come on, we may not be able to leave this hill for a while, not because of anything, but because we seriously injured a large number of bandits in that battle, and the bandits' forces should be coming at this time, we can't wait for them all to come, then we have no hope at all, and we can't be impatient, it will mess up morale, so tomorrow we will launch a final offensive against the enemy below and embark on the road to rescue. ”

Leng Yue Chasing Wind nodded, and then added: "Of course, this battle is centered on grain and grass, and the food in our army is already less than three days. ”

This sentence was like five thunderbolts, directly smashing on Lin Maolin's forehead.

Lin Maolin cleaned up his haggard face and said, "I know, General Leng, you can train with peace of mind, and I will handle this." Then he went to the camp.

Leng Yue Chasing the Wind looked at Lin Maolin's distant back, paused for two or three seconds, came back to his senses, strode in front of the soldier, and ordered: "Brothers, continue training." ”

They trained until the afternoon, and when they were resting, Leng Yue Chaser suddenly told them that we had a big operation tomorrow.

"The news of the counteroffensive went all the way to the barracks, and everyone was well prepared."

When Lin Maolin returned to the barracks, he first found the grain officer, who stood in front of Lin Maolin, with a solemn expression, arched his hands, and said in a hoarse voice: "Report to General Lin, we have little grain and grass left." ”

Lin Maolin had already been prepared, so he was not too surprised, and said in a calm tone: "I know, we have been out for half a month to rescue, and during this time, our food has also become a big problem. ”

The grain officer nodded, and said earnestly: "Most of the land under the mountain is wasteland, and most of it has been invaded by the enemy, and the people don't have much food, and the effect of requisitioning grain is very small, so there is only one way at the moment, and that is to rob." ”

Lin Maolin listened to the grain officer's words, and his heart was also inexplicably more relieved, and said: "The truth is naturally like this, thank you for the reminder from the grain officer." But how to get a gun, how to get a gun, you can have a chance of winning."

The grain officer took out a drawing, which clearly depicted the route of each day, although there are some places on the route that are not very clear, but after Lin Maolin's observation in the morning, the situation under the mountain has been remembered in his mind, and then when he saw this map, he was more sure of his point of view, pointed to a path, drew a circle on it with his hand, and said heavily: "This is it, after all, the enemy's grain and grass road, Yegeling, their grain will be transported from the bandits, after leaving the mountain gate." Originally, there was a road that was the best to take, but this road was close to our army, so it was inevitable that we would not go here, and the information sent back by my soldiers, the enemy did not have any traces of passing here, so Yegeling is the highlight of tomorrow, and whether it can turn the tide depends on this battle. ”

The grain officer nodded slightly, and said: "It is worthy of General Lin, this marching map was also inadvertently given to me by a passer-by, and the passer-by left when he gave it to me, and he did not want to leave his name, so I only lost this pen and asked me to pass it on to General Lin." ”

Lin Maolin took the pen, and at a glance, a capital "Qing" word on it was deeply engraved in the center of the pen, and the golden luster flashed.

The next day, Leng Yue Chasing the Wind led a group of brothers to stand outside the camp, some of them were holding bows and arrows, some were holding spears, and they were full of energy.

Lin Maolin ordered Gong Yuqi to stay in the camp tent, and he and Leng Yue Chasing Wind came to the bottom of the mountain with the other soldiers, gathered all the war horses, and quietly left the hill and ran towards a path.
