Chapter 61: Into the Mountain
Li Zhongyi had also seen the camp tents of ordinary soldiers just now, they were fire units, and ten people lived in one tent.
Well, being a chief is good, and the privilege is greatly dropped!
Li Zhongyi returned to the front account, and just sat down behind the bookcase, he saw Huang Jingsheng holding a tray in his hand, in addition to a crisp yellow roast chicken, there were two other pots of wine, a wine glass, and a pair of chopsticks.
"Childe, you've been tired all day, eat some supper, drink two pots of wine, and wait for your body to warm up, just go to bed." Huang Jingsheng smiled and put the roast chicken and wine jug on the bookcase.
Li Zhongyi wanted to learn the style of ancient and modern famous generals, and directly repelled Huang Jingsheng and acted in a big show.
It's a pity that Li Zhongyi's stomach is very uncompetitive at this time, and he screams blindly.
In this era, roast chicken is not suitable for everyone to eat, since it has been roasted, Huang Jingsheng is a piece of kindness, and it is a pity to throw it away.
"Well, I'll just leave a chicken leg, and you can send the rest to An Min, he is more tired than me." Li Zhongyi thought for a while, and then said, "I was negligent, and drinking alcohol should be strictly prohibited during the march." Lao Huang, you better withdraw the wine, remember, don't take it as an example. ”
In this era, the Shu Kingdom, whether it was a civilian or a military, generally only ate two meals a day.
Although, relying on the big granary of the Chengdu Plain, the people of Shu are still relatively wealthy.
However, the farmers in the countryside of Shu could not eat the big white rice he grew himself. Farmers generally eat thin in their spare time, with some wild vegetables and other things, and only when the farm is busy, only a few dry meals can be eaten, so as to keep the body sown or harvest.
Since Li Zhongyi possessed this Hou Shu Kingdom, even in Dali Prison, he has not suffered any hardships.
As for the doom of getting rid of the annihilation, Li Zhongyi either mixed in the luxurious Chengdu Hou Mansion, or stayed in the more luxurious palace, eating and drinking spicy food all day long, and living an unusually nourishing life, where did he know all kinds of sufferings of the people?
Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, this is also applicable to today's Li Zhongyi.
Guo Huai held most of the roast chicken in his hand, and was speechless for a long time, the last time he ate roast chicken, was it five years ago, or ten years ago, he couldn't remember.
After Li Zhongyi nibbled on the chicken legs, wiped his hands, soaked his feet, and just wanted to go to bed, he suddenly remembered something.
In the old war movie, when the Eighth Route Army lived in the village, it was generally double posts at night, one bright and one dark, and two guard posts, which greatly increased the safety factor of the troops when camping.
When it comes to life-and-death matters, Li Zhongyi will never dare to be careless. He immediately found Huang Jingsheng and more than a dozen tooth soldiers (pro-soldiers) around him, and carefully told him some precautions for putting out the secret sentry.
As long as Li Zhongyi can think of it, he will use it all in one go, and if he can't think of it, there is nothing he can do.
However, as he thought deeply, Li Zhong easily realized that it was impossible for the secret sentinels to be sent to a distant place where the sound waves could not be transmitted.
The biggest problem is, after the enemy is coming to sneak attack, how to send back the warning signal without alarming the enemy army?
In fact, there are many ways for the sentinels to send back warning information, for example, special arrows.
However, once the sentry fires the warning arrow, it is equivalent to being alone under the enemy's butcher's knife.
What should I do? Li Zhongyi hesitated, and some couldn't make up his mind.
In the end, it was Guo Huai's Jian Yiì who solved this problem: as long as it was a secret post that had been alerted in advance and did not die after the war, he would be rewarded with 100 yuan and promoted to deputy team leader.
This is the true version of the ancient world that under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man.
Li Zhongyi was still a little worried, so he asked the tooth soldiers around him one by one, who expected, they nodded frequently, and they all agreed very much with this reward measure that took a great risk.
Huang Jingsheng said more bluntly, if he was an ordinary pawn, he would definitely be willing to be a secret sentinel.
In the end, Huang Jingsheng actually learned a famous saying that Li Zhongyi said in private, "If you want to die, you will be rich and noble if you don't die!" ”
After an hour of repeated questioning, these tooth soldiers completely memorized the essentials of setting up a secret sentry, and then Li Zhongyi ordered them all to lurk outside the camp.
There is no way, the whole team of tooth soldiers, even their eyes are red, they don't give in to each other, crying and shouting and making trouble, just to be a secret sentinel.
Li Zhongyi didn't want to dampen their enthusiasm, so he simply sent out all the tooth soldiers of this team in groups of three.
After adding another insurance measure, Li Zhongyi gained an inexplicable sense of security, and as soon as he lay on the bed, he fell into a sweet dream.
At seven o'clock the next morning (8:45), the cowhide drum sounded, waking up Li Zhongyi, who had a good night's sleep.
While having breakfast, Li Zhongyi suddenly heard that some soldiers had drunk unclean raw water last night and were having stomach trouble.
Li Zhongyi hurriedly prescribed a prescription for treating diarrhea, and asked the soldier Langzhong to boil a decoction and give it to those soldiers to drink.
These Lang Zhong who accompanied the army were all arrested by Huang Jingsheng under the banner of requisition. Li Zhongyi thinks that even if the level of these langzhong is poor, it is still possible to treat some common bruises.
Besides, Li Zhongyi didn't have three heads and six arms, so he really needed these Lang Zhong's help to fight, so Wen Yan appeased them and left them in the army.
After finishing his work, Li Zhongyi fell into deep self-blame. He himself is a top famous doctor, and he actually forgot to formulate a set of health and epidemic prevention regulations during the march, which really deserves to be spanked.
Previously, in the military camp of Hechi Township, Li Zhongyi had stipulated that drinking water must be filtered and boiled before drinking.
The problem is that there are large tanks in the barracks of the river pond to store clean water. Who would carry a large tank or a barrel when marching?
Nowadays, the large iron pot brought on the road, in addition to cooking, is also used as an important water intake tool for fire prevention in the barracks.
If we do not make meticulous and careful arrangements for the use of the large iron pot in advance, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the soldiers to drink hot water in time.
So, Li Zhongyi took advantage of the people's efforts to dismantle the camp, lay down in front of the bookcase, and added many precautions such as hygiene and epidemic prevention on the march into the original military order.
What Li Zhongyi didn't expect was that although the work of setting up camp was very cumbersome, the demolition work before the village was also very troublesome.
It was certainly impossible to remove the wooden walls, but the ropes that bound the wood had to be dismantled one by one so that they could be used again next time.
The military tent that was propped up, especially Li Zhongyi's huge handsome tent, was extremely troublesome when it was disassembled and loaded.
Huang Jingsheng planned to load the bookcase, bed, and other large household items into the car, but Li Zhongyi hurriedly stopped him and ordered to throw away these miscellaneous things, so as not to delay the march.
I think that back then, when the Red Army's Long March broke through the blockade line of the Xiangjiang River, it was because the central column carried too many jars and jars, and the march was too slow, so it missed the best opportunity to cross the river, and the guide suffered heavy losses.
From this incident, Li Zhongyi realized that it was necessary for him to communicate with Guo Huai.
After all, Guo Huai is an old-style soldier in this era, and his brain has never been able to get rid of the ideological constraints of the commander's privileges, which belongs to the category of communication that must be communicated.
The township army trained by Li Zhongyi is actually fundamentally different from all the armies of this era, but he is not fully aware of it yet.
Not to mention anything else, just Li Zhongyi's "Ming" fried rice is worth writing about.
Limited to the outdated notions of the entire era, the old-style armies of the Central Plains and Jiangnan regions, including the most elite Later Zhou Forbidden Army, were all hard-to-swallow and harder than stones in the dry food of mobile warfare.
The soldiers are not well fed, their bodies are not good, let alone fighting, even if they are marching, there are many people who fall behind.
Only Li Zhongyi's alternative township army can eat relatively refreshing dry food (fried rice) during the march.
As for the Khitan people in the northern grasslands, before they were highly sinicized, they could easily fill their stomachs just by relying on the sheep and cattle they carried.
Coupled with the large number of horses transferred, the Khitan people in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China had a very strong ability to maneuver and fight.
After the Northern Song Dynasty lost the horse-producing Hetao region, the Khitans, including the later Jurchens, monopolized the scarce war horse resources, thus establishing a long-term strategic advantage over the two Song Dynasty.
During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in later generations, when the volunteer troops were interspersed with the encirclement of the US-South Korean coalition forces, they filled their pockets with fried rice, and it was a seven-day amount, which greatly increased the mobility of the interspersed troops.
After throwing away useless and cumbersome items, the degree to which the township army set off from the camp was significantly accelerated.
Taking advantage of the fact that the troops were rearming, Li Zhongyi ordered the firemen to set up a cauldron and hurry up to boil water.
After tossing for an hour, the water bladder was replenished with the cool and white township soldiers and went on the road again.
Gaoliang Village, located in the middle foot of the Qinchuan River of 800 miles, is just stuck on the throat road from Chengzhou to the east, and is about 120 miles away from Hechi County. Among them, the flat road is more than 70 miles, and the mountain road is about 50 miles.
According to the general marching law of this era, 3o-4o li/day in the plains and 1o-15 li/day in the mountainous areas, Li Tinggui ordered Li Zhongyi to rush to Gaoliang to choose a garrison, obviously deliberately making things difficult for him.
However, the rural army under Li Zhongyi is an alternative in this era. The village army, composed of hunters and mountain people, was much more common in terms of foot strength, physical strength and endurance.
Because of his timidity, Li Zhongyi has always attached great importance to the cross-country ability of the township army in order to facilitate his escape.
Therefore, before five o'clock in the afternoon (14:15), the village army had already arrived at the mountain pass at the foot of Gushan.
For the sake of safety, Li Zhongyi and Guo Huai thought of a piece together, and the army rested in place, and ordered the throat repulsion team to enter the mountain to search and advance.
Guo Huai called Wu Bai, the leader of the throat reprimanding team, to the front of him, and carefully told him the matters that needed attention, and at the end, he instructed again: "Your people, don't squeeze together, you should spread as far away as possible, as long as you can hear the bamboo whistle between each other, it's fine." In addition, for every half mile along the way, two cavalrymen had to be left behind. In case there is an alarm, everyone can relay and run back to call the police.
Wu Bai agreed loudly and turned around to leave, but Li Zhongyi stopped him again and added, "Each person should bring two bamboo whistles for backup." If, there are many enemy troops, and there is no time to quietly run back to deliver the news, they will blow a long sound to let the rebuke in the rear know that there is a big policeman. Then you spread your feet and run for your life into the mountains, and don't force yourself to die in the mountain passes, you see? ”
Wu Baileng paused for a moment, his eyes were actually red, and he lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "Don't worry, Xiangshuai, the villain has a breath, and he will never let the brothers fall into the ambush of the enemy." ”
Originally, these rebukes were carefully selected from among the mountain hunters. For them, entering this Qinchuan mountain is equivalent to a tiger returning to the mountains and forests and swimming in the sea, which is probably much more familiar than the body of their mother-in-law.
