Chapter 58: Bathing Together
The soldier was so frightened that he was sweating and couldn't speak for a while, Wei Changfeng put the soldier on the ground, patted him for comfort, and turned his head to look at Bai Qi.
Bai Qi was also full of doubts, he believed that Wei Changfeng must have a reason to do this, but he didn't know what the truth of Lu Dao was, but he knew that Wei Changfeng would explain it to himself soon.
Wei Changfeng beckoned to Bai Qi and pointed to the side.
Bai Qi followed Wei Changfeng for a few steps, and when he came to a place where no one was around, the doubts in his heart were even stronger, and he didn't know what secrets Wei Changfeng wanted to talk about.
The expression on Wei Changfeng's face was very strange, as if he wanted to laugh or cry, and he asked softly: "General Bai Shen, why do we want to investigate the Donghu people's method of crossing the river?" ”
Bai Qi was stunned. What kind of problem is this? For the sake of ......, of course Wait a minute! Bai Qi suddenly figured it out, and the expression on his face suddenly became strange. This is really a blind leaf, I don't see Mount Tai! He looked at the creek, then at the rope, and suddenly felt that the scene where he and Wei Changfeng were seriously worried was really funny, and he couldn't help laughing.
Wei Changfeng couldn't help laughing, and the two of them laughed at each other for a while.
Behind the two, the fallen soldier was supported by his companions, and he was angrily scolding Wei Dutong for harming people in his heart, but he heard Wei Dutong and General Bai Shen laughing in unison, and couldn't help but stay there.
Half an hour later, the Han army began to cross the river. Heaven and earth together.
In the sky, there is a rope ladder, because there is no more rope, only a rope ladder can be knotted, the rope ladder is not used to transport people, but to transport horses, fortunately, there are not many horses in the Han army, in order to pass through the dense forest, the horses are specially reduced, so although there is only one rope ladder, it is enough. As for the people, they crossed the river with a great shield.
Yes, according to the original method, the big shield can not bear people, it is difficult to cross the quagmire, but don't forget, people in the Han army can climb along the rope ladder, not too much, as long as three or five people can pass, pull a few ropes over, one end is pulled by these three or five people, the other end is tied to the big shield, people are lying on the big shield to reduce the pressure, the people at that end work together, quickly pull the big shield over, even if it falls into the mud for a while, it can also be quickly pulled out, except for getting a whole body of mud, there is no other harm. In order to reduce weight, people and weapons were separated, and people were lying on large shields, and weapons were tied to large shields and pulled over. Because of this, there are no more rope ladders available, because the extra rope is used to pull the big shield.
Fortunately, a large shield only needs two ropes, one to pull through, and the other to pull back to continue the Venerable and weapon. In this way, the speed of crossing the mire is many times faster, faster than the Donghu people who have gone up the rope ladder little by little. However, this is not that the Donghu people are idiots, but they have a large number of war horses, and even if people can live like this, the horses have to be transported from the rope ladder little by little.
Wei Changfeng and Bai Qi had already crossed the river lying on the big shield, both of them were covered in muddy water, standing there the mud was dripping down their clothes, and the soldiers were pulled across the stream one after another, all dragging mud and water, and everyone had strange expressions on their faces.
However, this is not that the soldiers feel ridiculous about the embarrassment of the two generals, because the whole army will be like this, and any number of people will be like this in this way, there is really nothing funny, the soldiers are funny, they have been delayed here for so long, and they are wholeheartedly looking for a way for the Donghu people to cross the quagmire, but they didn't expect: now it is the Han army that crosses the quagmire, not the Donghu people, no matter how the Donghu people live, as long as the Han people can pass, no matter how the Donghu people live!
This is also the reason why Wei Changfeng and Bai Qi laughed relatively loudly.
Although it is true that they can't find a way for the Donghu people to knot rope ladders, they can't cross the quagmire, but after seeing this method, they are stubbornly entangled in the fact that they must use rope ladders to cross the quagmire instead of using ropes to find a way to cross the quagmire that meets the characteristics of the Han army, which is really stupid. The Donghu people can't use the big shield because they have a large number of horses, so why can't the Han army use this method? Go through the rope ladder a little, and then use the rope to pull the person over, it's as simple as that.
"They're laughing at us for being stupid." Bai Qi looked at the expressions on the faces of the soldiers and said in a low voice.
Wei Changfeng chuckled: "We are indeed stupid enough this time, but after all, we still found a way, it is better than staying on the other side with these people who joke about us." ”
Bai Qi smiled, no longer continuing the topic, he looked up at the sky, and saw that the sky was already dark, marching in the mountains and forests, and still tracking the traces of the Donghu people, as soon as it was dark, he couldn't go anymore, otherwise it would be a big trouble to lose the road.
"The whole army is set up camp in front," Bai Qi ordered, "find out if there is a mud-free stream nearby, and everyone will take off their clothes and wash them." ”
When the Han army all crossed the quagmire, the sun had already set on the side of the mountain, and under the afterglow, the evening scene in the mountain forest was very beautiful, but the Han soldiers had no intention of enjoying this beautiful scenery, everyone was busy camping, burying pots and cooking, and a team of soldiers was ordered to find a safe stream. Fortunately, since there is a mud swamp here, of course, the groundwater is abundant, and after a while, an underground undercurrent was dug up, although the amount of water is not large, but it is enough for the whole army to take turns to wash.
Wei Changfeng had finished washing, and he was drenched and patrolled around, only to see a group of soldiers taking off the red stripes near the undercurrent, joking while washing, a soldier may be a little anxious to urinate, and he took two steps to pee against the undercurrent.
"Lao Hu, what are you?" A soldier laughed and cursed.
"I haven't defiled you again," the soldier named Lao Hu replied with a smile, "I'm downstream." ”
Wei Changfeng smiled. He doesn't care about this kind of joke among the soldiers, in fact, this is exactly the scene he likes to see, only the troops with high morale will have this kind of atmosphere, on the contrary, if the soldiers are silent one by one, it is terrible, it means that the morale is depressed.
Seeing that there was nothing going on everywhere, he was about to go back to rest, but he heard a reprimand, as if a commander was reprimanding the soldiers, he was curious, and walked over, only to see a chief, who may have just been washed, and his clothes were still dripping with water, but he was loudly reprimanding a soldier in front of him, and several other soldiers were persuading on the side.
Wei Changfeng walked up a few steps and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Seeing Wei Changfeng coming, Nashi Changfeng saluted, and angrily pointed at the soldier and said, "This bastard actually refuses to take a bath!" Look at him, what has become of him? ”
Wei Changfeng looked at the soldier, and saw that the soldier was not tall, thin, and his whole body was muddy, like a muddy statue drenched in water, and his face was also full of mud, and he couldn't see his face clearly, so he felt strange in his heart, and asked the soldier: "Why don't you take a bath?" ”
"Lord Dutong, he can't answer, he's a mute." A soldier on one side said.
Wei Changfeng sighed lightly.
The country is constantly in turmoil, not to mention dumb, even if there are some other disabilities, as long as they can fight, they can join the army, but it is indeed the country that treats them badly by letting these people who are already disabled join the army.
Wei Changfeng couldn't help but say a lot softer: "We have to wash it." Otherwise, tomorrow when the sun comes out and the mud on our clothes is dried, we will all be like mud statues, and we can't walk, you know? He patiently explained to the mute.
The mute man glanced up at Wei Changfeng, then lowered his head and shook his head. Although there was no sound, the meaning could not be clearer: just not wash!
