"Okay, okay, let's speed up the journey for Captain Bendu, no matter how funny it is, you can't stop, anyone who can sing can sing it, you can also tell jokes, as long as it is approved by the brothers, you can come to Captain Bendu at dinner to receive the reward!" Zhao Junsheng shouted loudly.

The soldiers naturally don't want to let go of the rewards, as long as they can sing, no matter how ugly the singing is, they have to howl a few times, which is nothing more than amusing themselves.

Along the way, the soldiers laughed and laughed, and the marching speed increased significantly, and they didn't feel so tired before when they hurried.

When Shen Shi, the sky was gloomy and terrible, and the cold wind was raging more violently, and Zhao Junsheng could clearly feel that the temperature was dropping.

I was really afraid of something, and in less than a quarter of an hour or so, there was snow in the sky again, Zhao Junsheng's face changed, and he shouted: "It's snowing······ Listen, everybody, pick up the speed, we're going to camp in the birch grove before dark, hurry up, all the teams listen to my command and shout the trumpet, hey, hey, hey, go! ”

The soldiers and strong men listened to his command and shouted together: "Hey, hey, hey······"

Whoever "lifts weights" must sing the "song of persuasion", and the so-called "song of persuasion" is to shout the trumpet.

Each person shouting a trumpet and taking two steps can unify the rhythm, coordinate the movements, stimulate the enthusiasm of the soldiers and the strong men, and relieve fatigue.

After walking for about two quarters of an hour, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and Zhao Junsheng looked at it and shouted: "The whole army stops advancing, and everyone puts on oilcloth!" ”

When the soldiers and the strong men heard the order, they stopped together and put down the grain they were carrying, draped the tarpaulin on their backs, and tied them with straps.

"Everybody obey the order, get up—keep going!"

As Zhao Junsheng roared, the soldiers and strong men lifted the grain again, stepped forward, and continued to move forward in the cold wind and goose feathers and snow like knives.

"Hey, hey, hey······" The sound of the trumpet sounded again, bringing some vitality and vitality to this white, lonely, slaughtered wilderness.

After walking for about an hour again, the sky gradually darkened, and Zhao Junsheng and his team finally arrived at the birch forest.

At his command, all the men stopped and set up camp in the birch grove, and the soldiers of the first battalion accepted the task of setting up camp, some of them set up their tents, and some of them covered the grain with tarpaulins and pressed heavy objects to prevent them from being blown away by the strong winds; The men began to build a stove and set up a cauldron, and threw a handful of snow into the iron pot to prepare to boil water.

Some of the strong men helped to pile up the grain, and some of the strong men were assigned to collect firewood in the forest.

Li Bao's personal guards were assigned the task of guarding, divided into three shifts, some of them were scattered around with weapons and crossbows in tarpaulin, some were fixed sentry posts, and some were patrol posts patrolling back and forth.

The tents were quickly erected, and the men finished building the stoves, and the thick snow was cut off, and some hay was taken out of the ground to set it on fire, and the dead branches that had been picked up were burned, and the water in the pot was boiled hot.

A dozen large fires soon burned in the middle of the camp, and more than 200 strong men picked up all the dead branches that could be picked up in the birch forest, and cut down many dead trees.

After the fire was raised, the temperature around them was very small, and everyone felt much warmer, and the water in a large iron pot was boiled, and the soldiers took a bowl of boiling water from a clay bowl, and sat by the fire and took out the dry food they carried and ate with boiling water.

Although the weather was cold, the soldiers and strong men were very active, and many people were around the fire telling jokes and amusing themselves.

The sky was completely dark, the fire in the camp illuminated the surroundings, the snow on the ground was also melted by the fire, and Zhao Junsheng's jar of wine was all rewarded to the soldiers, and he didn't drink a drop.

Zhao Junsheng was gnawing on the hard steamed cakes, when suddenly a frightened shout came, his face changed, and he immediately got up and drew his long knife and ran quickly to the location where the sound came from, shouting as he ran: "The personal guards come with me, and the others immediately gather to form a defensive formation with weapons and protect the strong men in the middle!" ”

Li Bao quickly followed Zhao Junsheng with his own soldiers who did not have a guard mission to the location where the shouts came from, and they followed Zhao Junsheng with weapons in hand.

Zhao Junsheng grabbed the soldier who was running over here: "Hey, it's you?" What's going on? ”

It turned out that this person was a soldier who broke his foot during the day, and he hurriedly said: "Du Lieutenant, it is the villain!" Look over there! ”

Zhao Junsheng looked forward in the direction of the soldier's finger, only to see dozens of glowing green luminous bodies flickering in the blurry and hazy night dozens of meters away.

"Ah, it's wolves! It's a pack of wolves! The guards shouted again.

Zhao Junsheng shouted: "Don't panic, Lao Tzu's hundreds of brothers are still afraid of dozens of wolves?" Li Bao, send someone to gather all the brothers with bows and arrows and crossbows, and let the others stay by the fire to keep watch and defend! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Dozens of soldiers carrying bows and crossbows ran over, and Zhao Junsheng divided the guards into three parts, one part lined up to block the front, the other two parts were deployed on the left and right wings, and the archers and repeaters were deployed in the middle.

"Archer ready, northwest, sixty steps, release the arrows!"

"Whoosh ······"

There was a wolf howl in the wind.

"Northeast, seventy steps, release the arrow!"

"Whoosh ······"

Another series of wolf howls were heard, and the rest of the wolves saw that many of their companions had been shot dead, and they all turned and fled, and in the blink of an eye, there was not a single green wolf eye in front of them.

Zhao Junsheng exhaled a hot breath and scolded: "How hungry these wolves are, hundreds of us dare to form a team to make up their minds!" Everyone, take orders, and move forward! ”

The soldiers in the front row held torches, and the soldiers marched forward under Zhao Junsheng's order, and soon saw more than a dozen wolves lying in the snow, all of them were shot by arrows and fell into the snow, some of them were not dead, they were still struggling, and the snow had been stained red with wolf blood.

Li Bao walked up to a wolf corpse that had been shot with an axe in his hand, lifted it up and looked at it, and shouted to Zhao Junsheng: "Du Wei, these wolves are really hungry, you see, they are all skinny and skinny, no wonder they dare to come to fight our idea!" ”

"No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat, drag these wolves back, skin and clean the internal organs, chop them into pieces of stewed soup, and give them a tooth sacrifice to the brothers! Why, why do I think these wolves are not here to make up their minds, but God is sending us meat! ”

The soldiers laughed: "Hahaha······"

Seventy or eighty miles away in the camp on the other side, Mulan came out of the tent with a cloak and walked to the fire, looking up at the snowflakes that kept falling in the sky, and her face was even more solemn with worry.

Wan Yutong breathed hot air and walked to her side, "Mulan, don't worry about Zhao Junsheng and them, Zhao Junsheng is a very ghostly person, even if others freeze to death, he will definitely not freeze to death!" ”

Hearing this, Hua Mulan couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook her head helplessly: "Miss Wan, you haven't figured out the situation yet, you don't understand our current situation, if you can't transport the grain and grass back to the Jinling camp in time to solve the food problem of the soldiers of the Zhenshu Army, even if Brother Junsheng doesn't freeze to death on the way, he will be punished by military law for dereliction of duty!" Does it work just to keep yourself from freezing to death? ”

Wan Yutong pursed his lips, "I······ I won't let Grandpa kill Zhao Junsheng! ”

Hua Mulan really didn't know what to say, and sighed: "Miss Wan, in front of military law, even if you are the pearl of General Wan's palm, you can't affect the implementation of military law, General Wan won't break military law because of you, the military camp is not a place to play at home, but a place to train and kill, and when you get to the Jinling camp and see General Wan, hurry back to Shanwu County!" ”

Wan Yutong was a little angry, she looked at Hua Mulan and said: "I know that I don't understand many things, and I also know that I went to the Jinling camp without authorization to bring trouble to Zhao Junsheng, and it will also bring trouble to my grandfather, but I just can't control myself!" That's right, I'm sure you guessed it, I like Zhao Junsheng, I just like him! ”

Mulan's body was shocked, she had to look at Wan Yutong with admiration, a woman said in front of another woman that she liked each other's fiancé, how much courage does it take?

She took a deep breath, "Of course Miss can like Brother Junsheng, I broke off my engagement with him before I came out of the house to join the army, so you can totally do it." However······ I've heard Brother Junsheng say that the emperor likes you, do you know what kind of terrible consequences you will bring to the two of you if you like Brother Junsheng? ”
