(Let's have a big chapter!) Brethren Receive the Goods! ）

At the beginning, the big guys were still talking and laughing, but after marching into the mountain for an hour, gradually people began to feel the fatigue of their legs coming to them, so the big guys gradually quieted down, no longer talking and laughing, but closed their mouths, saved some physical strength, and began to move forward silently. *..!。 *

The mountain road is not easy to walk, and in order to chase the speed, Xiao Tianjian began to command the team to follow the local guide soldiers into the trail, when this trail is the narrowest, only one mule can pass, and the team also began to lengthen, one by one the soldiers pursed their lips tightly, silently crossed these trails, and marched towards the front.

Xiao Tianjian also dismounted, followed the army on foot, looking at the soldiers who were gradually beginning to show fatigue, Xiao Tianjian stopped and let the team pass by him, and he patted the soldiers on the shoulders from time to time, loudly encouraging them.

"Brothers, do your best! When we came to Shanxi, what mountains did we never climb? What hard road haven't we walked? Brother Luo, they are still waiting for us to relieve them! Don't be discouraged, big guy, work hard! ”

With Xiao Tianjian's encouragement, the other officers also began to speak one after another, cheering up their subordinates, and some shouted: "Those four-legged guys ran in front of us, brothers, don't let them be proud!" Don't fucking embarrass our generals, besides, our brothers are surrounded by officers and soldiers, waiting for us to save them! It's a little hard today, but if you think about it, if it were us, wouldn't you also look forward to the brothers to solve the siege? Today, the big guy is out of the way, work harder! ”

Although the mountain road was very hard and tiring, everyone gritted their teeth, and under the call of the officers, not only did not slow down, but tightened their legs.

The original rapid march to this time, has become a forced march, with the advance of the team, the sun above the head gradually began to shift to the west, in order to save time, the team did not stop halfway to rest and cook, Xiao Tianjian himself is also holding a cake, while walking and gnawing, thirsty to drink the water in the water bladder, and swallow the crumbs of the cake in the mouth, this cold day, but did not let them feel a little cold, one by one the generals are walking while wiping sweat, the head is steaming, It's like a steamed bun that has just come out of the pot.

This kind of forced march lasted until the time when Shen Shi was about to pass, that is, at more than four o'clock in the afternoon, it came to an end temporarily, Xiao Tianjian led his troops to travel nearly seventy miles in the mountains in seven hours, and crossed the trail, returned to the main road, and met Shi Ran and a group of Xingtian Army troops who were waiting here.

This speed may not be too difficult on the plains, but today they walk most of the mountain roads, up and down, but also through some difficult sections, to get out of such a speed, it is not easy, at this time everyone is basically about to be paralyzed, the vast majority of people originally thought that their calloused soles would definitely not get up again, but today most of them on the soles of their feet, or grinding out water or blood, every step down, are drilled into the heart. Even if the calf was wearing leggings, it was swollen and uncomfortable, and when they saw Shi Ran's gang, everyone was a little relieved, and they sat on the ground one after another, gasping for breath.

As soon as some of them arrived, they lay on the ground and groaned, criing, "My mother! I'm about to run out of breath! “

A large group of people were lying on the ground, each panting like a pile of broken bellows, and many looked like they might be suffocated to death if they couldn't get out of their breath.

Shi Ran was also taken aback when he saw Xiao Tianjian and his party coming out of the mountain trail steamingly, originally according to their expectations, even if Xiao Tianjian got the news and rushed here, it is estimated that it will be tomorrow morning at the earliest.

But they didn't expect Xiao Tianjian to rush to them so quickly with someone, as soon as they saw this situation, Shi Ran and the other generals were all excited, and they immediately got up to meet Xiao Tianjian's group.

"General Qiyu, his subordinates are incompetent, and he failed to lead his subordinates to pick them up! Please, general! As soon as Shi Ran saw Xiao Tianjian, he immediately knelt down on one knee to ask Xiao Tianjian for guilt.

"Get up and speak, it happened suddenly, you did it right! Where are the supplies you got from this trip? After Xiao Tianjian inspected here with his eyes, he didn't find a large number of baggage, so he asked Shi Ran.

"General Qiyu, after encountering the official army, Luo Li led his troops to cover our advance into the mountain, and he led his troops to attract the official army away, so that his subordinates were able to lead his troops to escort this batch of materials into the mountain.

In order not to lose this batch of food and materials, my subordinates first arranged for the soldiers and a hundred soldiers to transport the materials back to Lotus Village, while I led the rest of the people to wait for the general's reinforcements here! If the general doesn't arrive tomorrow morning, his subordinates plan to lead the brothers back to rescue Luo Li! Shi Ran immediately reported to Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian nodded after hearing this: "It's very proper for you to arrange this, yes, you should do it!" By the way, did you see Wang Chengping and they passed by here? ”

After Luo Lileng paused, he immediately shook his head and said, "I didn't see it!" Could it be that Wang Chengping and the others also came with him this time? Why didn't you act with the general? ”

Xiao Tianjian was happy when he heard it, and simply told Luo Li about the bet he made with Wang Chengping, and Luo Li also laughed after hearing it: "Presumably, Wang Chengping must be angry on the road at this time, there is no official road here, the road is so wide, so many important people return to Lotus Village through this road, the road will definitely be blocked, and the cavalry will not be able to run on the road at all!" Hehe! No wonder the general got ahead of them! ”

"Also, what is the situation in the place where Luo Li is besieged?" Xiao Tianjian then asked Shi Ran again.

"Luo Li is still fifteen miles away from here in a place called Shijing Village surrounded by the official army, at most five miles away from the mountain pass, his subordinates have been waiting to find out the news there, Shijing Village is a small village, but there is a wall outside the village, although it is not high, but it can be supported, and there is a deep ditch in the north of the village, the officers and troops can only attack from the south of the village, Luo Li led the troops to fight very tenacious, and the officers and troops have nothing to do with them for the time being! But if it takes a long time, Luo Li will definitely not be able to hold on, I guess Luo Li will support it until noon tomorrow at most, if he doesn't break the siege, Luo Li and they will be very dangerous! Therefore, I plan to take the remaining brothers to relieve them if the general is not there tomorrow morning, and even if I fight for my life, I can't leave Luo Li behind! ”

After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian was slightly relieved, and calculated that if the fifteen-mile road was to march in a hurry, it would be an hour and a half to arrive, and it happened to be dark at that time, so they had time to rest here for a while, and then set off for Shijing Village.

So he waved his hand and gave the order, telling these soldiers who came with him that they could rest here for a quarter of an hour, after everyone listened, there was a cheer suddenly, after several hours of forced march, Yan Chongxi and Li Xuanzhu's subordinates were also tired enough, I heard that they could rest for a while, but they were all happy, they untied their leggings, relaxed and relaxed their calves, and at the same time, someone took out needles, took off their shoes from each other, and helped each other pick up the water or blood on their feet, squeezing out the fluid in it, even Xiao Tianjian was not spared, Sitting on the ground gritting his teeth and pulling his feet, he picked up a few bright waters, and the medical staff hurriedly distributed a little wound medicine to everyone and wiped it on the wounds on the soles of their feet.

Of the five hundred soldiers, more than 20 people failed to keep up, most of these people twisted their feet on the road, so they were ordered to stop and rest, collect the mules and horses that had fallen behind, and then slowly catch up, most of the remaining people persevered, which made Xiao Tianjian very moved, the soldiers of the Xingtian Army can have such willpower, what is he afraid of in this world? Today's forced march can be said to make everyone here very proud of the Xingtian Army, they now call themselves the Iron Army, and I am afraid that no one will object to it.

After resting for about a quarter of an hour, Xiao Tianjian saw that all the soldiers and generals had disposed of the water on their feet, put on their shoes again, and tied their leggings, so he rubbed his sore legs, stood up and ordered: "Brothers, get up!" Insist on rushing to the mountain pass before dark, and after rescuing Luo Li's brothers, I will go back to the village tomorrow and give you three days off to rest well! ”

After hearing this, the staggering generals cheered again, and stood up vigorously according to their legs, many people stood up because of their injured feet and fell to the ground, and the pain was so grinning that they couldn't stop gasping, limping to adapt to this feeling like stepping on a nail board, and some people struggled a few times before standing up, which shows that the tiredness is really not light.

And many people are a little shivering, just now when they rushed all the way over, everyone was sweating profusely, sweat wet the clothes inside, there was no cold feeling when moving, but as soon as it stopped, the body immediately began to cool down, and one by one the cold began to shiver a little.

Xiao Tianjian also felt uncomfortable with the wetness in his underwear, but he smiled and jokingly said to his subordinates: "I got used to it after walking a few steps, but it's a little cold now!" It's still more comfortable to walk, isn't it? So, the big guy is not a blessed life, he still has to walk! ”

Xiao Tianjian's joke immediately made everyone burst into laughter, although they were tired, they also felt that following Xiao Tianjian was in a very happy mood.

After joining Shi Ran, Xiao Tianjian's strength increased to about seven or eight hundred, and the people who stayed here stretched out their hands to help these brothers who came with Xiao Tianjian, but these people all refused their help, first walked a few steps slowly, and after getting used to the pain in the soles of their feet and legs, they began to take big strides again and walked towards the front.

Just when Xiao Tianjian was about to lead his troops to the mountain pass, the sound of horses' hooves finally sounded behind them, and soon Wang Chengping and his brothers caught up with Xiao Tianjian.

When Wang Chengping saw Xiao Tianjian and his party, he was first taken aback, and then he showed shame, turned over and dismounted, caught up with Xiao Tianjian, who was walking in front, and said to Xiao Tianjian: "General! I'm really convinced this time! I didn't expect that! We, the cavalry, were actually stunned by the general and threw these infantry brothers behind on two legs, ashamed! Ashamed! This time it's my surname Wang who lost, and I'm willing to gamble and lose, and if the general has anything in the future, just give orders! If Wang farts, he won't be a fucking hero! ”

Xiao Tianjian stretched his sore waist and smiled bitterly, if this was before he came to this era, he couldn't believe that he could walk more than 100 miles in a day, and he still used this kind of forced march, it seems that the times make people!

"Huh! Brother Wang doesn't have to be too worried, this time the competition, in fact, we took a trick, after we broke up with you, we took a small road, copied a shortcut, and one point, you ignore the willpower of people, the difference between people and animals, is to be able to persist in the most difficult and tiring time, stimulate the potential in the human body, so that people can exert unimaginable power under normal circumstances!

But horses can't, don't look at horses to run fast in a short time, but they are animals after all, everything can only rely on their instincts, when they are tired, they must rest, when they are hungry, they must eat, otherwise they will not work!

If you keep pushing them, they may be wiped out! This time you came out in a hurry, did not bring a spare war horse, a horse walked down, and you are all horse lovers, will not ignore the life and death of horses, desperately hurry, so you have to often rest on the road, you stop and go, and we have been on the road, it is not surprising to walk in front of you!

Hehe! What's more, this is a mountainous area, which is not suitable for cavalry operations, and you can't run, plus you must have been blocked for a while by the baggage team that we returned to the cottage first, otherwise we would probably be flattened! So we've got a trick up our sleeves this time! Xiao Tianjian explained to Wang Chengping the reason for their victory, and he didn't care about his tricks.

After listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, Wang Chengping sighed: "It seems that at the beginning, the general proposed to compare with us, but in fact, it was already good, alas! We are self-righteous, and we want to refute the general's face, it seems that we are too arrogant!

I can see that the general is indeed not an ordinary man, and our Xingtian Army is really a fierce army under the leadership of the general! Not to mention anything else, just these two iron feet, looking at the world, there are not many people who can compare with our brothers! Don't say anything about shortcuts, if it's for our brothers, let's change it, we will definitely lose, I, Wang Chengping, said to admit defeat, and this time we can be said to be convinced!

I said, brothers, you also have a word, in the end, do we lose or not!? ”

The more than 30 brothers who followed Wang Chengping, who had long lost the prestige of their departure, pulled their horses one by one, with a sneer on their faces, their faces full of embarrassment, scratched their heads and shouted: "Obey!" We're really convinced! Ha ha! ……”

The originally slightly dull team suddenly resounded with laughter, and those infantry generals who were originally tired also showed a smile at this time, straightened their chests one by one, and really raised their eyebrows.

(Note: It is not surprising that the speed of the infantry marched faster than the cavalry, and there are many records of the infantry marching more than 150 miles in a day!) But very few cavalry troops can exceed this speed, and in the case of one horse per person, a hundred miles will run dead horses! After all, many times people's willpower will exert the limits of human beings, and they can keep marching without eating or sleeping, and horses don't have to think about it! ）
