After Li Ziying arrived in the Shaanxi and Gansu regions, the land was vast and sparsely populated, a town was far away from the next town, sometimes there were camps in the wild, it was cold, the soldiers were around the fire to keep warm, the long night was long, the moon shadow was sparse, and the wild wolf howled on the high post, and there was a secret post outside the camp wall with reference to the military system of the Chu camp, and the vehicle encirclement was used as a protective wall, and a pile of fires were lit outside the camp to prevent the wild wolves and the rebels with ill intentions from sneaking up on the camp

It has entered the war zone, and there are countless tributaries in winter, looting and looting, and the rebels are out of the area, although it belongs to the area controlled by the Qing army, but there may be rebels to get a ticket, and small convoys are often ambushed by the rebels who are familiar with the geography

All the way to the march, Li Ziying has encountered sporadic robbers, but most of the time, the robbers did not dare to start when they saw how many people the convoy was, just watched from afar, saw that there were no loopholes to drill, followed for a few days, and then beat the horse and left, and the robbers were leaving, and there was a shot in the sky, which was considered a parting gift

The outpost also met the robbers who wanted to buy road money, and the teachers gave them some small money to send the small group of robbers away

I also met the robbers who shot at the convoy, one person was killed by a cold gun, and four people were injured, for this kind of dare to provoke the robbers of the Li Zi Battalion, the officers and soldiers of the Li Zi Battalion have the same hatred for the enemy, and directly use a platoon of guns to shoot back, so that the robbers understand that the Li Ziying sharpshooters who are 1 meter away can also take people's lives, and they cannot escape on horseback

There have also been incidents of frightened horses, people trampled to death by horses, and a student soldier accidentally fell into a ditch and fell to his death, as for desertion, this has not happened, and the wild wolves will not come to seek death if they follow the march of a large army in the wilderness, and if they are alone, the wolves will rush up at any time and ask for their lives

Camping is inseparable from the water source, there are many ravines on the loess high slopes, forming valleys and rivers, and each place has a local government or garrison army to provide guidance, so the Li Ziying did not walk the wrong road, when camping, one is to build a simple dwelling, the vehicle is surrounded by several circles as a fortification during the battle, and the cattle, horses, and camels are also fenced to prevent the cattle from escaping

Each team of thirty people is in charge of the food, boil a big pot of hot soup, throw miscellaneous food into the soup, every time you have to put some chili peppers, the smorgasbord soup is the main dish, after coming to Gansu, the staple food is no longer Shaanxi people, like to eat pot helmet, but eat a kind of naan, a kind of bread, there is a special oven at home, but when marching, use a simple method to directly bury the naan under the fire, about two quarters of an hour, the naan can be taken out to eat, naan is better than the pot helmet, it is inseparable from baking, if you need to hide the trace, or change the rations

Now a team of soldiers gathered around the fire, while roasting the fire, while drinking hot soup, tearing the naan into small pieces, dipping some soup into their mouths, chewing the steaming steaming fire, the soldiers next to the fire took off their coats, and the march was able to eat hot soup, meat, vegetables, and be full, and they were satisfied

At the beginning of the march, everyone will have blisters on the soles of their feet, and a pair of feet are important for this march, so they should wash their feet with hot water every night, use needles to pick up the blisters, and apply some medicinal oil

After dinner, Li Guolou took Gosh Hamadquan, Xiaoshi, Ma Liang and Fu Guozhong to patrol the camp, he is still used to holding a horse whip, and if he does something wrong, he will be whipped, and it is common for his subordinates to be harshly beaten and scolded by military discipline, so that his subordinates will have a sense of awe, and there is a chance to correct the mistake of doing a small thing, and if a big mistake is made, the head will fall to the ground

You can't move around at will in the barracks, and when you see Li Guolou and his party coming to guard the guard, the four soldiers immediately saluted and shouted: "Dong Zhiyuan"

"Kill the enemy and serve the country," Li Guolou waved his horsewhip in return, and looked at the four soldiers standing guard in four directions

This way of standing guard is Li Guolou came up with the enemy, the enemy likes to sneak attack, the sentry will rely on the night and the blind spot of the line of sight to take the quiet sneak to the sentry, and then the enemy raids the sentry guard, this sneak attack method has been tried and tested, the success rate is very high, so Li Guolou came up with a once and for all way to stand guard, a sentry card arranges four sentries to face four directions, so that if you want to sneak attack the enemy, it is not easy to get close to the soldiers, sure enough, Li Zi operates with this way of standing guard and sentry has not been killed by the enemy along the way, and the sentry is no longer a dangerous errand to be on duty at night

Let the officers and men of Li Zi's battalion can't help but admire Li Guolou's ability to use his brains to plug his own loopholes, and even retreat from the army

The group of displaced people and villagers who automatically followed the Li Zi Battalion along the way had more than 6 people, and when they were sleeping in the wild, they were not stationed with the officers and soldiers of the Li Zi Battalion, but set up another open space for them to stay alone

Some of the displaced people have participated in the rebellion, and even some of the displaced people are rebel spies, most of the Han people have no faith, and when they see the temple, they will kowtow and have milk, and they are the mother's masters, and the war area can live to this day, and people have recognized many masters, and he is by no means the latter master, Li Guolou will not believe those who join the Li Ziying camp and the villagers, especially the closer they get to the enemy-occupied areas to contain the displaced people, they have taken in more than 1 displaced people in the past two days, he wants to see what the unarmed "homeless" can play

A few days ago, I also met sporadic robbers, wandering around the convoy, and in the past two days, it was suddenly calm, except for the officers and soldiers at the outpost, but the robbers had not been seen along the way, and the loess slopes and ravines were thick, and the thorns were lush, and it seemed that the road was controlled by the officers and soldiers, but it was not known, and the sheep intestine path was not known to outsiders

The rebels should pay attention to the fragmentary Li Ziying, and the news of the Li Ziying will always grasp something, will they launch a surprise attack on the Li Ziying Li Guolou likes to think about the problem thoroughly, and slowly walked to the caravan camp

There are more than 1 people in the caravan camp, and the merchant convoy is placed in the Chinese military seat, and the merchants and men also have firearms, but the guns are relatively old, and Li Guolou is responsible for their safety, so he let the caravan occupy the position of the Chinese army

Hu Yangyue, the proprietor of "Cai Mao Tang", saw Li Guolou coming to see them, and hurriedly stepped up to greet them, who were already familiar with Li Guolou, and said quite casually: "Lord Li is still resting so late."

Li Guolou heard the implication that he and Wan Niang were interested in doing that little thing at night, and Yan smiled and said: I'm too busy and don't have time to rest, Mr. Hu came to ask you to have a military meeting, you and Xiao Yang come with me."

Hu Yangyue listened to Li Guolou's easy-going words, but the shadow of the war was shrouded, and the pressure on his head was very great, so he explained a few words to the caravan, and took the young steward Yang Zhao to follow Li Guolou behind him and walked towards a big willow tree by the river

In the dark night, most of the soldiers in the camp rested, only some patrol sentries were still patrolling, and when they saw Li Guolou and others coming over, a sentry shouted: "Who is the one who stands?"

Li Guolou said: "Escort Li Guolou"

The military meeting was held in front of a fire, and three cordons were placed outside, and people above the rank of Li Zi battalion officers came, and about 80 people were standing around Li Guolou, and I don't know if the escort envoy had anything important to say to them at such a late hour

Li Guolou got straight to the point and said: " Ladies and gentlemen, we are now very close to the front line, about 12 days away, this is also the rebel looting area, we have to guard against the possibility of a sneak attack more than 30 percent, when the enemy suddenly launches a sneak attack on our convoy, we must make a proper emergency method, not to give the enemy a chance, how to reduce the losses of our long team, and to hurt the enemy's horse team, this requires each of us to exert our strength and twist into a rope, instead of panicking, dodging around, shooting indiscriminately, not lethal, to know that if the enemy's horse team rushes in front of us, we can only let others slaughter it, so I announced that tomorrow we will conduct an actual combat exercise to test the combat effectiveness of our Li Zi battalion”

"Yes," as soon as I heard about the actual combat drill tomorrow, every officer and the leader of the people became energetic, and I hadn't heard the sound of guns for a long time, and the guns were about to rust, so it was time to move my muscles

"Okay, tomorrow, the combat command takes each team as a combat group, how the adjacent squads cooperate, how to deploy the defense, the sentry commander himself formulates the battalion officer, the supervisor of the team, and each team is rated, I want to see the spirit of teamwork" For his subordinates, there is no doubt about listening to the order, and the vaguely murderous spirit is quite gratifying, Li Zi Battalion officers and soldiers have a sense of combat, war can make Wutang students grow rapidly into qualified commanders

Xishan Jianrui Nutrition Nursery Yao Bin was also in the ranks of the meeting, he was appointed by Li Guolou as the team officer to govern the thirty nurturing soldiers, seeing that even those long husbands also have Mauser guns, Wutang student soldiers have already resisted Mauser guns all the way to raise soldiers, showing off in front of the Mauser soldiers, that Su Yuanchun is already wearing a delicate revolver, and their thirty nurturing soldiers are still carrying flintlock pistols, Xishan Jianrui Nutrition Raising Soldiers has long been scolding their mothers behind their backs, tomorrow's military exercise, wouldn't it be a shame to raise soldiers

"Report Li Xuezheng, we Xishan Jianrui nutrition and education soldiers are not step-mothers, I hope Li Xuezheng will give us equipment without discrimination," Yao Bin couldn't bear it, and stepped forward with a military salute

"Officer Yao's guns are not good or bad, you raise soldiers to use flintlock pistols, or use the weapon first, and when you go back, each person will give you a revolver."

"Yes," Yao Bin left happily to tell the brothers the good news, holding in his hand a mimeographed outline of operations, which was to work together with the officers of the school to formulate some battlefield contingency measures, so that in the event of an emergency, people would not have a blank mind, and they should learn to sum up lessons and lessons in the war

Seeing those poor sticks, the elder husband was eager to try, Hu Yangyue's heart was fluctuating, his caravan also had strong combat effectiveness, how could he be in the center and shrink his head, and the turtle hurriedly said: "Li Xuezheng, our caravan requires to participate in the drill and ensure that he obeys orders."

"Okay, Mr. Hu, it's good to exercise, everyone has an instinctive reaction, and the combat drill is to make people make the right choice in an instant," Li Guolou asked Hu Yangyue to participate in the military meeting, which was to improve the caravan's self-protection ability and let everyone in the team play a role

The officers went back to the camp and slowly calmed down, and Li Guolou said in a low voice: "Keep an eye on those homeless people, don't be afraid of trouble, tomorrow according to the roster, I will see that someone will slip away tonight."

"It's me who will go to the roll call in person early tomorrow morning," Fan Dahui was surprised and stared at Li Guolou with wide eyes, it turned out that Li Guolou was not on a whim, and was in danger anytime and anywhere, approaching the group of people who called Master Fan a "big savior", among which there was a hidden murderous motive, and he actually wanted their lives, fortunately, he followed a "god hunt", this time he would not die on the battlefield

"If someone escapes, whoever comes with that person to serve the people, arrests and drives them away, and those homeless people form a group to sit together, whoever spreads rumors and does not report the people who know about it, and punishes them together, whoever dares to make trouble, let him get out, Li Ziying's military regulations should be strict, and not being merciful to others is cruel to himself," Li Guolou secretly told several of his henchmen to prepare and put it into action tomorrow morning

Hearing that Li Guolou was going to attack those homeless people, Dahui, Ma Dequan, Batel and others were eager to try

Among them, the excited person is Jin Erzi, his heart is twisted, he belongs to the perverted type, he likes to see bloody scenes, if there are displaced people missing tomorrow, he can kill people, so Jin Erzi is good at catching and not making noise, and he wants to come to the northwest to fight

"Li Xuezheng, I also brought the entire set of torture equipment from the Criminal Department, and let me ask for a confession before the suspect leaves tomorrow, even if it is a tiger's mouth, I can pry it open," Jin Erzi no longer concealed it, and secretly hid the torture equipment, and wanted to take it out and use it

made the people next to him startled, even more ruthless than Li Guolou, Li Guolou just used the method of sitting to deal with the hidden spies, and Jin Erzi also had to lynch people and not treat people as people

"Well, Jin Yin, let's go with Master Fan tomorrow," Li Guolou raised his eyebrows, turned around and left, not letting others see his facial expression, and secretly rejoiced that he had finally discovered a talent, this kind of vicious and spicy person was what he needed, and Jin Erzi had a great premise that he could become his killer weapon in the future
