Chapter 617: The military rations are full of life, and the dense forest is marching to the army
Swallowing the last piece of dry biscuit hard, Jiang Xi sat on the edge of the tree, his eyes closed, slightly reminiscing about the lingering fragrance, around him, was a lush forest, and three companions.
The military rations of the Wuding army under Chen Zhi are all specially customized, and no matter what kind of food it is, there must be a soaking process, but in general, except for the march, it is similar to what ordinary people eat, except for more white flour and meat.
And these two are the guarantee of physical fitness and strength, so the martial arts practiced by Chen Zhi may not have increased much in height, after all, they are all adults, and the chance of secondary development is not great, at least with the current simple ingredients, it is impossible to do this.
However, their physical strength, endurance and strength have been significantly improved, especially like Jiang Xi, who was originally just a farmer working in the fields, his body bones look strong, but in fact, because of long-term malnutrition, there is a big deficit, but it is weak, if it is not filled, it will grow old, and it is only a matter of time before the body collapses.
Fortunately, he entered the Wuding camp, not to mention filling these shortcomings, and conditioning his body and bones.
However, the dry food he eats now is different from that in the barracks, it is easy to carry food, and most of it has been pickled, dehydrated, air-dried, and so on.
Generally speaking, this kind of food does not taste very good, but it is only used to satisfy hunger, and it is easy to carry, and it is needed for the army to travel, even Chen Zhi's Wuding Battalion is no exception.
But these things suddenly changed not so long ago.
"The taste of this dry food is getting better and better, and there is a faint fragrance when you eat it, although it is not as good as the meat in the camp, but it has a different taste."
As soon as I finished eating, one of the people sighed.
Hearing this voice, Jiang Xi opened his eyes, looked around vigilantly, and whispered at the same time: "I heard that the recent food has been soaked in medicinal food, and the prescriptions in it have changed, and there are rumors that this is a recipe that Taishou personally grabbed, which can not only strengthen the body, but also increase courage!" ”
"I see!" When the other person next to him heard this, he seemed to have figured out something, "I said that my body has become more and more energetic recently, and my courage has also become bigger. ”
"Isn't it! Aren't we scouts doing the most dangerous thing? It stands to reason that according to my original temperament, I didn't dare to go deep at all, but now this courage is indeed coming up. Someone else said that.
Then the person who spoke first smiled and said: "In our Wuding Army, scouts are not ordinary people can be, they are all powerful men with military merits, and their martial arts are better than others. is still Jiang Xi's fellow countryman, the one surnamed Wang, and they have a good relationship with the team owner, so they can know. ”
It turned out that Jiang Xi and the others were the scouts of the Wu Ding Army, and they were currently on a mission.
Jiang Xi did make a great contribution in the previous siege battle of Dangcheng, not only stabbing the general of Ke Bo Zhenbu, and capturing it, but also making great contributions when he finally captured the chief.
In terms of meritorious deeds and rewards afterwards, he also received a lot of awards, and he had the opportunity to be transferred to Chen Zhi's side, but he didn't know what he thought, so he actually offered to serve as a scout.
The division of labor of scouts, generally linked to exploration, is very dangerous, many times the first to die is these scouts, but in the martial arts camp, the status of scouts is different, often the best martial arts, the most athletic people, can be selected into it, correspondingly, is far beyond the treatment of peers, it can be said that a scout camp, that is not only food and clothing do not worry, even the family will have arrangements, even if it is dead, according to the promise of Taishou, the family is also a lifetime of food and clothing.
Therefore, from this point of view, Jiang Xi's choice is not so incomprehensible.
Compared with when he first joined the army, Jiang Xi's temperament has also changed, although he still seems a little restrained, but after listening to a few words from his colleagues, he smiled and said: "It's not so complicated, you can pay attention to these news, and you can also be aware of it." ”
A few people on the side were about to say more, but suddenly, all of them were dark and slightly changed, and then quickly lowered their bodies, mixed with the surrounding trees, branches and leaves, their clothes were originally military characteristics, many colorful colors, at this time, the body was lying forward, and it was difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.
However, the subsequent barking of several dogs still made several of them change their faces drastically, and they could only pray that the miscellaneous water sprinkled on their bodies before they came, after half a day, would continue to work - it is said that this potion that can confuse the beast's sense of smell is also from the hand of Taishou Chenzhi, and it has made many achievements in the past, but it does not last long, and if it is cloudy and rainy, and the wind and sun are strong, it will soon disperse.
"Someone's coming!"
In the midst of apprehension, several people looked at each other at a distance, and their eyes were solemn.
This person, Jiang Xi and they were in the dense forest, originally they were still scattered to investigate, they came to exchange information before they gathered together, according to the normal process, after the exchange, if they didn't find anything peculiar, a few people would leave, because this forest is too remote, there are many fierce beasts, it is easy for no one to come, a little probing, you can find something, but now there are dogs barking, and the ground is even more faintly shaking, which undoubtedly explains many problems.
The scout's acumen made them realize that something was wrong.
Sure enough, then a famous soldier appeared, which made Jiang Xi and the others' faces more and more difficult to see, and through the cover of the branches and leaves, they were able to look in the direction where the team came, but this time they saw a lot of figures, pushing aside the branches and leaves, and kept moving forward, and there was no end in sight!
What made them even more frightened was that there were a large number of cavalry mixed in this team, almost two cavalry, one foot soldier, and then looking at their clothing, their identities were already about to come out!
"Xianbei people! These people are Xianbei people! They're here! ”
Jiang Xi and the others were surprised in their hearts, and at the same time, their memories were rolling, and they remembered what those gentlemen had taught them when they were just scouts, and they were even more restless when they compared their status and orientation!
"This is the densest woods on the south bank of the Sanggan River, but the distance is quite far, although it can hide soldiers and horses, but if you want to attack the city, there is a section of official road in the middle, where it is not blocked, but it is easy to be exposed, so why did this group of people choose here?"
After serving in the army for a while, Jiang Xi also learned a lot of information from his friend Wang Niu, and even talked to two team leaders who were close to Chen Zhi's family, and also heard them talk about some of the general situation, so he immediately saw the problem behind it.
"This group of people may not be heading to the city, but have another goal!"
Thinking that before the mission was carried out recently, whether it was the team leader or several other generals, they repeatedly emphasized that Dangcheng was the role of the bridgehead of Daixian, saying that it was necessary to defend Dangcheng in order to be the barrier of Daixian, but Jiang Xi's heart was chaotic, and he felt that the situation was a little bad.
But he's just a scout after all, and it's not his turn to think about these things, not to mention that there is a bigger crisis surrounding a few people at the moment-
Just outside this team, there are many soldiers leading fierce dogs, searching towards the surrounding jungle, and the fierce dogs are even grinning and scanning the surroundings, and their mouths are constantly whining, looking fierce!
Thanks to a series of drills and professors when they joined the company, coupled with strict drills, Jiang Xi and their group of scouts have developed some habits in a short period of time, including the choice of hiding terrain, so the position they are in now is a marginal area that is difficult to set foot in. You don't have to worry about being found out right away.
After all, the dog's nose is very sensitive, and it can distinguish many smells, and after professional training, it can distinguish the breath of the living, and it can be used to search when marching.
As the sound of branches and leaves breaking became more and more cheats, Jiang Xi and the others clearly noticed that the blindfold led by two people was approaching the place where they and the others were, and the two fierce dogs became more and more irritable, as if they had discovered something.
"Don't come here! Don't get any closer! ”
Cold sweat flowed down the foreheads of Jiang Xi and the others, but they didn't dare to wipe it at all, let alone make a sound, so they could only wait stiffly in place, watching the fierce dog approach them little by little.
Click!
As the last breaking sound came, less than three feet away from Jiang Xi, the fierce dog stopped, and then barked twice at the soldier who was leading him!
Jiang Xi's heart suddenly raised his throat, and then he watched the man and the dog turn around and leave, returning to the large army.
Then, this team of people and horses continued to move forward, after a stick of incense time, the last few people walked over, during this period, Jiang Xi and others saw several imposing riders, the leader of the person looked forward to self-pride, there was a bit of arrogance, at a glance it was extraordinary!
After a long time had passed, Jiang Xi and the others suddenly sat down on the ground, and their bodies were paralyzed, only to find that their clothes had been soaked with sweat for some time!
Finally enough, they struggled, and Jiang Xi said with a solemn face: "This must be the people of Duanbu, we must report quickly!" ”
