Chapter 47: The March in the Mountains

This walk, until dark did they find a small ravine and stopped, most of the sergeants were children of poor families, although there were people to cook, but the night was cold, it was not possible to make a fire, so they did not want the officer to urge, and the sergeants went around in the night to pick up materials and make a fire, and after a while, dozens of blazing bonfires were lit. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Looking at the beating firelight in front of him, Zhou Bian remembered the camping in his previous life when he was outing, at that time he still had his girlfriend by his side, and there were many friends, in the firelight, three or two friends talked loudly, sang about wine, and then heard the chirping of girls in his ears, he only felt that life was heroic and self-deserved, and at this time, although it was also a firelight, but around him was a group of ancients, except for the revival of the royal family, there was almost no other common language, and the loneliness of talking suddenly gushed out uncontrollably, There was a moist feeling in my heart, Yu'er, are you okay with your parents? Thousands of years apart, how can people not miss it?

The night in the mountains is exceptionally quiet, and as a king, he naturally has a unique treatment, that is, spending the night in a tent. When I woke up, I found that it was not yet dawn, so I thought it was a habit that I had developed since returning to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Zhou Bian dressed himself, walked out of the tent, the guards who were keeping vigil outside hurriedly saluted, Zhou Bian waved his hand to stop, looked into the camp, only to see that although the bonfire was dim, but still jumping, the piles of young soldiers around the bonfire were crowded with each other, sleeping soundly, looking at familiar and unfamiliar faces, Zhou Bian couldn't help but think that if it was a dispute in the future, but I don't know how many people could see the revival of the Great Zhou, I am afraid that many will be the white bones of the ground, and it will be a success, and the bones will wither, even more so at this time, thinking of this, Zhou Bian couldn't help but be stunned.

Suddenly heard the sound of the horn, Zhou Bian just wanted to stop it, but it was too late, those soldiers woke up from their sleep one by one, and hurriedly got up, although there was still a panic, but after a while, they found their weapons, and the gang leaders shouted, and soon they were in order. Thinking that these soldiers worked hard yesterday and got up early today, Zhou Bian couldn't help but be a little moved, so he called Pang Xing and asked, "It's not time to get up at this time, why is the horn sounding?" ”

Pang Xing hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, when I saw that the king had already gotten up, I naturally didn't allow these boys to continue sleeping, so I ordered the trumpeter to blow the trumpet." ”

I see, it seems that as the supreme commander, every move involves the whole army. However, what Pang Xing said was also reasonable, although he was not wrong with his kindness, he couldn't get used to them, so Zhou Bian naturally wouldn't blame him anymore, since he had already gotten up early, he ordered to clean up and go on the road again.

After walking along the ravine for a few miles, the genius was bright, looking back at the ravine where he had stayed last night, only to see that under the light of the rising sun in the east, it seemed to be covered with a layer of gold, Zhou Bian took a trick, called Jiang Ping, and asked, "You were in this Song Mountain a few days ago, do you know what the name of this ravine is?" ”

"This little one still knows, I heard the woodcutter in the mountains say that King Cheng had been to this ravine when he was releasing horses in Luoyi, and suddenly a golden horse ran out and couldn't catch up, and then King Cheng gave the name of this golden horse ditch." It turned out that there was such a legend, Zhou Bian couldn't help but look back again, I don't know when the royal family can regain the majesty of the king!

I only heard Jiang Ping continue, "Yesterday we came over the mountain, in fact, this ravine leads all the way to the outside of the mountain, so the horses can also run in." Hearing this, Zhou Bian couldn't help but move in his heart, if he wants to train troops on a large scale in the future and doesn't want to be known, this is a good place to go.

But he smiled and said, "You better lead the way, don't lose everyone." Jiang Ping immediately led the order and ran forward.

After walking a short distance to the east, the mountains in front of him rose again, and Zhou Bian hurriedly ordered everyone to stop and enjoy breakfast. When the enslavement was lit on fire, Zhou Bian gathered Zhou Mi's personal guards and five captains together, and asked, "If the army is marching and fighting, is it better to camp in a ravine or on the slope?" ”

Usually when there is nothing to do, Zhou Bian often gathers everyone together to discuss military law, everyone has long been used to it, but at this time there are different opinions, some say that the ravine is good and some say that the hillside is good, arguing endlessly, Zhou Bian looked at it but saw Cai Wu silent, Cai Wu was also one of the earlier fourteen guards, thinking of being smart, Zhou Bian knew that he must have ideas, so he smiled and said, "Cai Wu, tell everyone what you think in your heart." ”

I only heard Cai Wu say unhurriedly, "Back to the king, the little one thinks that if you camp to block the enemy, you must defend the enemy's place on the main road of the ravine, and if the mountain is too steep, you will be stationed on the peak, whether it is throwing stones or shooting arrows, the road under the mountain will be impassable." If you camp for self-protection, it is better to be on the hillside, condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but to hold on to the place where reinforcements are waiting. If it is inappropriate, I hope that the king will advise you. ”

"Did you all hear that? As the saying goes, water is impermanent, soldiers are impermanent, and you can't stick to a ravine or a hillside, but it depends on the situation, and if you go on an expedition in the future, if the king is not there, how you fight depends on the war situation, and the king will not be bound to you thousands of miles away. Zhou Bian said to everyone in a stern voice, and the cadres immediately bowed their heads and said yes.

After saying that, Zhou Bian turned to Cai Wu again, "What you just said omitted an important point, if there is water on the hillside, it is naturally a good place to hold on, but if there is no water on the hillside, the enemy does not need to attack, just surround it for a few days, and you will be in chaos." In the future, the first thing to consider when you set up camp is to consider water, and you all remember. "Ma Tan's loss of the street pavilion is a bloody lesson, and Zhou Bian hopes that such a mistake will appear in his army, so he emphasizes it. Although he didn't study history in his previous life, he was extremely familiar with the art of war for thousands of years in his previous life, especially the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so not to mention being an instructor is writing a book of soldiers, and Zhou Bian's self-confidence is not a problem.

As he spoke, a small soldier came to report that breakfast was ready, and Zhou Bian waved his hand to end this brief military course. In fact, what Zhou Bian teaches is also theoretical knowledge, and Zhou Bian has no practical experience at all, but Zhou Bian doesn't care, after all, these theories are far ahead of this era, as for experience, anyway, his body is still small now, and he slowly accumulates. However, if conditions allow in the future, in Zhou Bian's plan, the military academy is indispensable, of course, at that time, the instructors in the military academy will naturally be some people around him now.

The breakfast time was a little longer, because according to Zhou Bian's requirements, all the cakes eaten at noon were made and let the sergeants carry them. After the economic conditions of the royal family were a little better, Zhou Bian also spent money to buy pig bubbles and gave each person a marching water bag, so he didn't need to worry too much about food at this time.

Walking further into the mountains, the mountains are steep, and there are more small animals along the way, thinking that it is an inaccessible place. All the way to the new army, the forerunner swings his sword to cut the thorns, the latter walker carefully steps on the footprints of the person in front, encounters a steep place, has to hold hands, a spear more than one person is used as a cane, occasionally there will be a snake or a small animal that can't see clearly, which is hard to say, but whenever he looks at the middle of the team, the sergeants are energetic again, just because the shadow that is not as good as the adult's chest, at this time also like an ordinary sergeant climbing, the king can be like this, not to mention my generation?

In fact, Zhou Bian is also miserable, after all, he has not grown up yet, but thinking of the fall of the royal family, the death of Ling'er, and the hard work of the queen mother, even if he can be a righteous king, he has to grit his teeth and endure it, and he thinks that if he really can't bear it, find a strong guard to carry on his back, as long as he doesn't fall behind, this is a last resort, so if he can do it, Zhou Bian still insists on supporting himself.

When he finally climbed a mountain, Zhou Bian was finally too tired to do anything, so he had to signal everyone to stop and rest, and seeing that everyone around him was still looking as usual, Zhou Bian couldn't help but sigh, after all, he was still young.

Looking north here is another lower mountain, the top of the mountain is flat like a millstone, but under the foot of the mountain in the south is a small basin, in the basin is a small town, attracting Jiang Ping to ask, only to know that it is Lun's.

After resting for a while, he picked up his spirits and continued eastward, and when the sun was about to set in the west, he found a place to camp beside a mountain spring, and ordered the army to hunt with archers in all directions. On this trip, I didn't carry much food, and the so-called soldiers should eat in the enemy country, so they naturally had to hunt to supplement food.

At dinnertime, there will be a sergeant back, the harvest is not small, at this time there is no need for the future generations, there is a lot of game in the mountains, if you are lucky, you will also meet some large animals, which is like the later generations, if a tiger is found in the mountains, it is a big news that will cause a sensation in the country. The soldiers used their swords to open the skins of the wild animals, put them on the fire, roasted them until the oil bubbled out, and sprinkled them with salt, which made people drool when they saw it. Offering the most delicious part to the queen, the soldiers had a beautiful meal.

After dinner, I suddenly heard Jiang Ping come to report, and found that there was a small cottage in front of him, and there were only twenty or thirty thieves, but it was not the one who robbed the Bai family. When Fan Yu heard this, he couldn't help but eagerly say, "King, while you are full, why don't you kill it?" ”

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhou Bian shook his head, "No, it's not safe to march at night, not to mention the battle, the mountains here are steep, and when it's dark, I'm afraid that there will be casualties before I can walk through the cottage, so let's stay for tomorrow." ”

Fan Yu had to be patient and wait for the night. After daybreak, Zhou Bian gathered all the troops, and after breakfast, he set off to the small cottage that Jiang Ping said last night. This time he went south to train his troops, met bandits, and killed them if the enemy was able to pass them, which was discussed by Zhou Bian with the officers at the beginning, and he who had never experienced actual combat and had never seen blood was never a qualified soldier.

I turned southeast for an hour before I saw a small cottage between the two peaks a few miles away. The peaks on these two sides are very steep, it is difficult to climb with bare hands, the cottage is built in it, there is only a sheep intestine path zigzag down, although the cottage is not big, the spies climb the mountain peaks next to it and look at only the front and back three in, but the terrain is dangerous, keep the sheep intestine path, it is a place where a husband can not be opened. Seeing this, Fan Yu couldn't help sticking out his tongue and said, "Fortunately, I didn't come to attack rashly last night, otherwise I don't know how many people would have been killed or injured." ”

Zhou Bian smiled but didn't say anything, turned around and shouted at the sergeants, "The purpose of this training is to make you see blood, these thieves are all harmful, and it is just right to use them for training." I will obey the general's order and kill the mountain, and I will wait ten times as much as the thief, and I will definitely level this cottage. After sweeping away the bandits, all the property in the cottage, the royal family did not take a penny, and all it was used to reward everyone. ”

When the army heard this, their morale was immediately high, and they couldn't help cheering, they came out to be soldiers for money, not to mention that this cottage was very small and not difficult to capture, so they were all gearing up. Thinking that the terrain was very dangerous, for the sake of safety, Zhou Bian still ordered the sergeant to cut down trees to make shields, after all, the bronze shield of the veteran was small and heavy, and it was very inconvenient to use it on the mountain road.
