Chapter 235: Meritorious Service

Half a month later.

In this dense jungle, the unique humidity of Guizhou has caused many people's skin to begin to fester, itching incomparably.

There was not much dry food left with them.

In fact, compared to these, the real difficulty is walking in this forest and mountain stream.

100,000 mountains, with no end in sight, is obviously in the map, but it is only a road of more than ten miles, but in fact, it is like being separated by a moat.

Even in the mountain camp, they were exhausted, and the high fighting spirit they had when they set off from Guiyang was now gone.

They were like people crawling in the mud, embarrassed, out of eight hundred, only six hundred remained.

The most important thing is that the general soldier turned out to be a big fool.

Every time it is said, after crossing the mountain, it is there, and the result is ...... Over a mountain and over again, again and again.

In the end, the desperate man would rather die here by the roots of the tree than go any further.

The sweltering weather made people want to throw their wet and heavy armor on the ground, but the sudden snakes and insects in Lin Mang made them have to cover their bodies firmly.

When he set off from Guiyang, Zhongguan was shocked, but he ...... The lieutenant did not stop it.

Instead, he turned around and ran to write the secret music.

Fang Jinglong also knew that he was gambling, he had to gamble, this was the only chance for the Ming army to turn the tables under the woman's conspiracy, and he missed this opportunity, and he didn't know how many people were going to die in the depths of this dense forest.

Fighting here, the most fearless, but to fight with the thief army, the elite Ming army, well-fed, clear-cut, and the same order, is not at all comparable to those ordinary native rebels.

Here, they are fighting against the sky, against the mountains, against the sudden epidemics, and the rain that will never stop.

Fang Jinglong was panting heavily, he was also exhausted, sitting on the boulder, squinting slightly at the ragged team behind him, many people staggered and numb forward, the whole team was lifeless, and everyone was embarrassed.

Fang Jinglong looked at the soldiers, and all the soldiers also looked at him at this moment, and the eyes they looked at him no longer had the love they had at the beginning, but more numbness.

Swindler.

"Turn over the mountain this time......" Fang Jinglong swallowed a mouthful of spit, tried to adjust his mood, and tried to fool again, just like some companies in later generations that take pleasure in cutting leeks, if they don't cut leeks to the roots, they always feel that they are not dedicated enough, and they will inevitably be unwilling.

After all, until the last moment, who can guarantee that there will be no leeks, ah, no, real soldiers, convinced of their own words.

"General soldier......" As soon as Fang Jinglong's words came out, Lao Wang on the side gasped for breath and interrupted him with a sad face.

"Don't be fooled, if you fool around, something will happen, and the brothers will mutiny."

"........." Fang Jinglong froze, his brows furrowed deeply.

With a bit of melancholy, he looked up and looked at the few rays of sunlight shining through the forest and dense foliage, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

"It's different, it's different, I think back then, when the eldest father of the family was ordered by Emperor Wen to conquer Annan, the old man was still young at that time, and he listened to the dictation of the eldest father, in Annan, the soldiers were very real, where is it like now, the soldiers are all well learned, it is really not as good as the generation......"

He felt that he was born at the wrong time, maybe when his eldest father, that is, his grandfather, was still there, he would not encounter such a dilemma.

After thinking about it secretly in his heart, he pursed his mouth and said to Lao Wang beside him.

"Help the old man up, pity the old man's old waist, let's continue, go over this mountain, damn it, fight here, it's better to go to the nine sides to fight the Tatars, even if you die, you can die a happy death."

Fang Jinglong got up with the support of Lao Wang, bared his teeth, in his boots, the footcloth had not dared to tear it for more than ten days, the sweat and the blood oozing out of the broken calluses seemed to have glued the footcloth and the flesh together, and these feet were afraid that they were all rancid.

Kankan stood up.

The scout who went first came out of the forest stream: "General soldier, general soldier ......"

There was excitement in his voice.

However, the marching soldiers were still numb, and no one paid attention to them.

Almost everyone knew this routine, and the chief soldier instructed the scout, and then the scout came back in a hurry, telling everyone that the thief army was in front of him.

They have heard this routine countless times, and now, Liu Scout's acting skills have improved a lot, looking at him walking like flying, as if he was happy, and the excited appearance of raising his eyebrows, as if he was about to enter the cave room, it was really not easy.

"Ahead...... ...... ahead" Liu Scout said this, his throat choked, and he cried with blurred tears: "The front is Shijian Village, it is Shijian Village...... We...... We're here...... There, a sentry was found, apparently, there was a thief army stationed, this village leaned against the waterfall, backed by the mountains and waters, with humble expectations, the village can only maintain a hundred households at most...... He touched for an hour, but he didn't find a secret whistle, but there were traces of mules and horses nearby......"

The soldiers were still numb, as if all this was a routine again.

But Fang Jinglong was suddenly energetic, his eyes lit up, and his tired face rippled with color: "Are you sure it's a thief army?" ”

"It can be determined that there are not many women in the village, judging from the clothes to dry, men account for at least eighty percent, the total soldiers, now many natives, men are pouring out of the village, following Miru to make trouble, how can there be so many men in this village."

Liu Scout is an old pawn who follows Fang Jinglong, picking up and killing the enemy, it may be useless, but this observation and visitation is a first-class good hand, Fang Jinglong can trust him, Fang Jifan suddenly wanted to cry.

Damn, it's finally the last hill.

Fang Jinglong immediately yelled at everyone: "Stop moving forward immediately!" All gathered around and listened to the orders of Hou Ben's general soldiers. ”

The soldiers were expressionless, and more than 600 people, like zombies, dragged their feet with countless blisters, and gathered around one by one.

Fang Jinglong jumped onto the boulder, spit at the mouth of the spit first, and said excitedly the next moment: "Over this mountain, the thief army is in front of you, and, nine times out of ten, there is a thief chief hiding here." ”

“……”

No one responded to him, and what responded to him was still a numb face and indifferent eyes.

Fang Jinglong sneered: "Now that the order is given, repair in situ, and prepare for battle, how much dry food is left?" Is there not much left, then there is no need to save, eat them all. ”

Burn one's ship.

This sentence woke up many soldiers, and everyone was stunned, this time, is it true?

Otherwise, how can you run out of dry food?

Fang Jifan took out the knife on his waist, stood on the boulder, looked left and right, and the horizontal flesh on his face shook, revealing a hideous color.

"I have a son, he is now in the Jingshi, there are dozens of women around him to serve him, this woman is like a mare to him, he can ride whichever horse he wants!"

“……”

"My son is wearing fine silk, you go and inquire, the silk is produced in Wuyuan Xiang in Beijing, you are afraid that you will not be able to buy one for a lifetime."

"My son, he has caused trouble for me all day long, and he has offended many people, but Shuntianfu dares to move a finger from him?"

"My son, when he gets up in the morning, wants to eat NAI, which is squeezed out of people! If it is sent late, and it is not warm enough, he will not eat it. ”

"My son, he lives like a fairy."

"What about your sons?" Fang Jinglong looked at these ragged soldiers with contempt: "Your son, he is still in the mud, your son can't even read, generations of military households, when they grow up in the future, they won't even be able to find a mother-in-law, so they can only let you cut off your children and grandchildren." Your sons eat yellow rice porridge, like a beggar on the street, and anyone can despise him. Your mother-in-law, who is reluctant to tear a piece of cloth for a few years to buy herself a new dress, what is the difference between your life and your death? ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but pause, and then his voice rose a few decibels.

"You must be unconvinced, why is my son, a master, your wife, but so cheap, Lao Tzu told you, it is because Lao Tzu Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu, followed Emperor Wen behind him, bleeding and sweating, relying on killing the enemy, to kill, without the credit of my Lao Tzu Lao Tzu, there is no difference between my son Jinglong and your son."

He pointed to the back of the mountain, and his voice was loud.

"Today, after crossing this mountain, the thief is in front of him, and the great merit is in front of him. The enemy chief behind the mountain, she is the leader of tens of thousands of rebels, because of her, she has lost a governor of my Ming Dynasty, a general soldier, and a lieutenant officer, causing my Ming Dynasty to kill and injure tens of thousands of soldiers, and ruining countless money and food in the imperial court! The Son of Heaven was furious, and ordered the three armies to suppress the thieves and take down the thief chieftain, which is a great merit! ”

"So!" Fang Jinglong's chest rose and fell, and he bared his teeth and said: "Meritorious service is at this time, let yourself live like a person at this time, if you want your descendants to receive the nectar of the Son of Heaven, at this time; Glory and wealth, right now! ”

“……”

All of a sudden, the indifference of the soldiers disappeared.

In these tormented eyes, there was suddenly a green light, and the numb person, from the bottom of his heart, gave birth to some kind of instinct that surpassed ordinary people.

One person, the body trembled, everyone, suddenly had strength.

Lao Wang on the side secretly glanced at Fang Jinglong, admiring in his heart, he was different from other soldiers, since he beat Lao Wang Lao Tzu's Lao Tzu, Lao Wang's family has followed Lao Fang's family.

Every time there is a battle, the Fang family is this set of rhetoric, but the Taizu of the Fang family said that his son enjoyed happiness in Beijing and ate REN milk, the eldest father of the Fang family, and said that Fang Zongbing's father enjoyed happiness and ate REN milk in Beijing, Fang Zongbing's father also said the same thing about Fang Zongbing at the beginning, and now, it is finally the turn of the young master of the Fang family.

Hearing this kind of words made his ears calloused, which made him really unhappy, but the old Wang family has been from the old Fang family for generations, so he still inherited the tradition of the old Wang family, and he looked excited, baring his teeth and echoing.

"The chief soldier said well, let's ...... Kill thieves and make meritorious contributions. ”

The soldiers screamed.

Fang Jinglong felt very relieved, the tradition has not been lost, leeks are still leeks.
