Chapter Twenty-Five: A Thousand Miles to the Battle

The rebels moved very quickly. Especially after abandoning the baggage and the old and weak, even Luo Rucai swept away his Yingying Yanyan and gave it to Huanglong and Yao Dongtian.

Zhang Xuan's medical camp was almost abolished. At this moment, there is not a single wounded person in the medical camp, and there is not a single langzhong. Wang Langzhong was also asked to go back by Zhang Xianzhong, and when he saw that Luo Rucai's medical camp was effective, he immediately appointed Wang Langzhong as a medical officer and summoned people to diagnose and treat the soldiers.

Zhang Xuan's current subordinates, no, it should be said that most of Luo Yujiao's current subordinates are women, but the quality of these women is the same as that of Aunt Tian next to Luo Yujiao, it seems that Luo Yujiao's training is not a life-saving nurse at all, but a strong warrior. Therefore, along the way, most women are more suitable for such a trek than Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan is tired every day, and he doesn't have time to take care of his clothes and beard, but he will be covered with a dense beard in a few days, and in a few days, Zhang Xuan will probably become a beard.

It seems that the beard is very suitable for the aesthetics of this era, and the so-called beautiful beard is also.

Zhang Xuan didn't even have the energy to see where he went, anyway, they had been circling in the ravine, every day as soon as it was dark, Zhang Xuan would sleep at the end, and as soon as the morning dawned, he began to march, carrying dry food and eating it on the horse. The dry food is all hard, and Zhang Xuan feels that he has a stone in his stomach every day, which is uncomfortable and unbearable.

Human energy is endless.

Under such torture, Zhang Xuan's body gradually became stronger, and he slowly adapted to this day of rapid whipping. Only then did I notice that the surrounding mountains were getting lower and lower, the water was increasing, and the soldiers often even crossed the river.

Every time he crossed the river, there were soldiers who first explored the water situation, and then dragged the horse's tail and flowed across the river, from Zhang Xianzhong to Luo Rucai, Luo Yufeng, to every soldier at the bottom without an exception.

The population gradually increased, and I met a county seat. It is Yuan'an County.

Zhang Xuan's geographical knowledge is not enough for him to know what kind of place Yuan'an is, because there are many places called such and such places in China. Zhang Xuan couldn't remember what Yuan'an was for a while.

Yuan'an County is not big, and in Zhang Xuan's view, it is not as big as some developers' large-scale real estate. Six or seven thousand cavalry, around the county seat of Yuan'an, raised boundless dust, looking at the momentum, Yuan'an County order, closed the city gate, lit a bonfire, from the south gate to send more than a dozen cavalry, all to Chongqing, to Chongqing Yang Sichang where to ask for troops to rescue.

The brigade rested for the night under the city of Yuan'an, and left east the next day.

Starting from Yuan'an again, the speed of the march was a little slower, and it took two days to reach another county seat. Zhang Xuan, the county seat, has an impression, isn't it the place where the so-called Dangyang Bridge is located near Changbanpo in the Three Kingdoms.

Zhang Xuan suddenly realized that he had entered Hubei.

This time, the brigade forced the city to camp, divided into several teams of horses, and went in all directions, Zhang Xuan inquired, either anything else or food. In the evening, countless grains and men and women were crushed under the city.

Zhang Xianzhong sent people to shoot arrows to make Dangyang City surrender. Dangyang County ordered a categorical refusal. Zhang Xianzhong ordered all the 100 people who had been captured to be pressed to the city and killed. These were all well-known local squires. Zhang Xuan was also the first time to see the rogue style of the rebels.

On the second day, Zhang Xianzhong will open the warehouse to release grain, hundreds of people flock to it, Zhang Xianzhong from the hungry people, select thousands of soldiers, distribute weapons, and rush to the city under the guard of the army.

In Zhang Xuan's opinion, these recruits are a mess, but the guards at the head of the city are also a mess, and the two sides are simply rookies pecking each other.

The attacking side does not even have siege equipment, but the defending side has a little something, but it will not be used, not that the people have not yet arrived in the city, and the rolling stones and trees are smashed down, or when the horse team shoots arrows around the city, they don't even know how to hide. Stunned, waiting for death in the city.

A busy day, there is no trace of the city being captured, however, Zhang Xuan's wounded battalion began to get busy, a large number of wounded were transported over for treatment, this time out, the medicinal materials brought are much less, just a few horses to carry a little, for these new recruits who have just enlisted, Luo Dain specially explained, to be cautious with medicine.

Medication with caution means not using medication.

You must know that the medicinal materials are reserved for the horse team, and there is no such thing as these people, and Zhang Xuan has no choice.

Just when Zhang Xuan felt that they were going to capture Dangyang County, Zhang Xuan was woken up that night, everyone restrained their horses, people bit a small wooden stick in their mouths, and the horses were also tightened and chewed.

Zhang Xuan thought that this big camp would last for a day or two among these new soldiers.

This time the march is non-stop day and night, Zhang Xuan is fine, Xiaoya really can't stand it.

Zhang Xuan originally intended to place Xiaoya in the mountains, but Xiaoya was unwilling, Cao Zongyu also persuaded Zhang Xuan that Xiaoya and Xiaoya have no one to protect in the mountains, and the end may not be good.

Zhang Xuan had no choice but to take Xiaoya.

"Little girl, what do you think now?" Zhang Xuan asked.

Xiaoya rode the little donkey Xiao Ash, Xiao Ash ran for more than a thousand miles in a few days, and she was a little embarrassed, and Xiao Ya's face was even more pale, and said, "Childe, I can hold on." ”

Zhang Xuan is different from Xiaoya.

Zhang Xuan can't endure hardships, but his body can hold it, but Xiaoya's body bones have not yet grown, and coupled with the long-term trek, her body is extremely depleted.

Zhang Xuan thought for a while, took out a piece of oiled paper from his arms, handed it to Xiaoya, and said, "Eat it." ”

Xiaoya swallowed her saliva and said, "Childe, Xiaoya can't eat it." ”

Zhang Xuan obviously didn't look over his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense, eat quickly." ”

This is Zhang Xuan when he was in Dangyang County, he sold it, and he has been kicking and reluctant to eat, Zhang Xuan simply hates the food of this era, especially the food in the army, which is simply pig food. So I am particularly interested in snacks from all over the world.

But the world is in chaos, the people are not living, where are there any snacks, this piece of meat is still the meat of a ploughing cow under the city that died in battle, Zhang Xuan spent silver to get a piece, although there are no ingredients, but the original taste of beef can still make him recall a lot of things at the beginning.

These little girls know.

Xiaoya couldn't hold back anymore and devoured it. As if she had taken some kind of panacea, Xiaoya's face immediately flushed a little.

"Everyone is silent." Luo Yujiao suddenly came over and said solemnly.

Everyone dismounted, hid in the darkness, and said a word perhaps.

But I saw everyone leading their horses through a checkpoint, which seemed to be a guard house, and there was something like a castle tower on it, but it was not clear in the darkness.

However, even if it is concealed, it is impossible for the brigade to cross the border without a sound.

"What a noise." Suddenly, above the castle tower, it seemed that something was heard, and a man came over and scolded loudly: "Do you want anyone to sleep in the middle of the night?" ”

As soon as this man finished speaking, he looked at the horse team under the starlight, and he could barely see the side at a glance, and he was stunned for a while.

Before he could speak, more than a dozen long arrows shot at him, crucifying the man. Then a few people rushed into the tower, and in an instant, all the people in the tower were killed.

"Is this the guard?" Zhang Xuan felt that there was something incredible. This checkpoint is clearly a traffic artery, otherwise they would not have been allowed to build buildings and set up cards, such as today, they are using soldiers, but they are sleeping here. The Ming Dynasty relied on these soldiers to protect him, wouldn't it be doomable.

There is one who came to the same conclusion as Zhang Xuan.

"What is the use of these officers and soldiers?" Luo Rucai said: "After here, you can go straight to Xiangyang City, is your righteous son's arrangement appropriate?" ”

Zhang Xianzhong said: "I can trust Dingguo. ”

Before Zhang Xianzhong's voice fell, a person came over and looked at it, it was not Zhang Dingguo, Zhang Dingguo saluted and said: "I tell my father-in-law that I have taken a letter from Yang Sichang." It was then presented.
