Chapter 47: Investigating the Military Situation
Although Fang Chengtian was in a hurry to avenge his master, he was not in a hurry to go to the battlefield, he took the heavy cavalry battalion of nearly 200 men and horses, and fell far behind the army.
Li Daniu and Gao Shiyuan were in high spirits, vowing to train these two hundred soldiers into elite soldiers, training during the day and at night, and the assessment proposed by Fang Chengtian was implemented very strictly.
In the first day or two, the soldiers were full of complaints, but when the soldiers gradually saw their own changes, their enthusiasm for training was obviously high, and they became more and more prosperous.
Fang Chengtian couldn't help but be secretly happy, he had never commanded the army, and he never thought that his training method would work so well.
Stopping and stopping all the way, this day came to the territory of Bianzhou.
Bianzhou is one of the first state cities to be captured by Wang Xianzhi, and it has been painstakingly operated for more than a year, and the fields have been distributed to the people, and the people do not have to pay taxes, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which can be regarded as a pure land in the troubled times.
After entering Bianzhou, the soldiers were very happy, and they had to be happy to see this piece of paradise that had become a fairyland on earth because of them.
Fang Chengtian had a sad face, just because he had just received a message from Yang Yifan--- he hadn't found his master's body!
All the soldiers marched under the scorching sun, all the way to Dahongzhai Mountain, climbed to the top of the mountain and looked down into the distance, only to see ten thousand ravines vertical and horizontal, the peaks and mountains are stacked and green, the clouds and mist linger, just like a fairyland.
Li Da looked into the distance and muttered: "I'm afraid that the army is almost in the territory of Yang Zhai, and maybe even Yang Zhai has been captured, hey...... Waiting for our heavy cavalry battalion to catch up, it's a pity that the brothers have been practicing hard these days, but they can't catch up with this battle, which is really a pity. ”
Fang Chengtian patted Li Daniu's shoulder and smiled: "Lvshuai Li, this war is going to kill people, my own brother, I don't want to hurt anyone, I really hope that there will never be a war, everyone lives in peace, how good it should be!" ”
Li Daniu shook his head and said, "Captain Fang, you have no ambition when you say it!" How can there be immortals in this war, if one day I, Li Daniu, also die on the battlefield, I can only blame myself for my poor ability. ”
Fang Chengtian looked at Gao Shiyuan and said, "Okay, don't say anything, give the order, let's camp on the top of this mountain tonight, strengthen patrols, and pay attention to guards to prevent enemy attacks." ”
Li Daniu frowned, looked around, and said puzzledly: "Captain Fang, it's still early, why don't I rush to the foot of the mountain and then set up camp to rest?" ”
Gao Shiyuan shook his head and said: "What Captain Fang said is extremely true, this place is close to Yangzhai, if we go to the dense forest at the foot of the mountain to camp, the Tang army will come to attack at night, with our few men, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist......"
A trace of disdain flashed in Li Daniu's eyes, and he snorted: "Tang Jun? Forget it, just the bunch of rubbish! If they really dare to attack the camp, Lao Tzu will let them have no return, and besides, the general and their army have pressed up, where did the Tang army attack us? ”
"Brigade Marshal Li, do what the captain said, as the so-called preparedness, don't wait until the enemy really comes to deploy defense, but it's too late, and marching and arming is one of the training requirements, and you can't forget the fundamentals just because the soldiers have made achievements in training." Fang Chengtian waved his hand and walked towards the mountainside.
There is a lake on the mountainside, and the golden sunset afterglow is sprinkled on the surface of the lake, rippling with the wind, shining with golden light, and the end is beautiful.
Gao Shiyuan saw Fang Chengtian going down the mountain, and hurriedly said: "Captain Fang, the sky is getting dark now, this mountain is high and dense, and it is not very safe, so you better not go anywhere." ”
Fang Chengtian looked at the lake on the mountainside, coughed dryly, and said, "Brigade Marshal Gao, the captain of this school is going to investigate the surrounding situation in order to make sure that everything is in order." ”
Li Daniu also chased after him and persuaded: "Captain Fang, there is nothing to investigate in this place, let's camp on the top of this mountain, and the surrounding situation can be said to be clear at a glance." You see that the forest on the top of this mountain is sparse, and if any thief dares to come, our scouts will find out at a glance, why should you suffer that sin. ”
Fang Chengtian looked at the lake on the mountainside again, frowned, and said, "Lvshuai Li's words are reasonable, but the captain of this school is worried that the thieves will take advantage of your thoughts, so he will surprise us and catch us off guard, which will not be good." ”
Li Daniu frowned, thought for a while, nodded slightly, and said, "What Captain Fang said is also reasonable, then the general will go with you to investigate." ”
Fang Chengtian shook his head helplessly, he just wanted to go to the lake to take a bath, how could the more he talked about it, the more outrageous it became! During this time, he has been in the armor, sweaty, and extremely uncomfortable.
When the three of them came to the edge of the lake, the sunset had already fallen, and the light turned from yellow to red, and the lake water was also reflected red, and the breeze was blowing, and the wind carried the water vapor in the lake, which was very cool.
Fang Chengtian looked at the lake, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, but he pretended to be indifferent and said: "It seems that as Lvshuai Li said, there are no thieves." ”
With that, he moved and removed his armor.
Li Daniu hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said with a concerned face: "Is Captain Fang tired?" It's hard for you during this time, in order to set an example for the soldiers, you really don't even take off your armor when you sleep......"
Fang Chengtian said with a smile: "The captain of this school is not tired, but looking at the water of this lake right now, if it doesn't go down to cool down, how can he be worthy of God's magic to build this lake?" ”
Li Daniu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed and said: "Yes, yes, Captain Fang is right, Lao Gao, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and take it off, let's borrow Captain Fang's blessing today, and we will also go into the water to cool down!" ”
While laughing, he took off the armor on his body, and in an instant, he stripped his body naked, which was even faster than Fang Chengtian, who took off one step first.
Gao Shiyuan shook his head and slowly took off his armor.
It was getting dark, and the three of them were still soaking in the lake, watching the sunset and enjoying the beautiful scenery around them.
Suddenly, Fang Chengtian heard a soft sound of "rustling, clicking" in his ears, which seemed to be far away, but with Fang Chengtian's kung fu, he could still hear it clearly.
The sound was very chaotic, with footsteps, branches being broken, and panting......
"Lvshuai Li, Lvshuai Gao, did you hear any voices?" Fang Chengtian made a gesture of boos to them, frowned and asked.
Li Daniu pricked up his ears and listened, and muttered, "Didn't you hear any sound?" ”
Gao Shiyuan also shook his head.
Fang Chengtian looked around, and he couldn't see any disappearance, but the voice was really there, he couldn't help but swim quickly to the shore, and said, "Hurry up and go ashore, there may be a situation!" ”
