Chapter Ninety-Six: Encamping by the Creek

Before Sun Yang finished speaking, the group of people dispersed directly, leaving only Sun Yang and Jia Xu to stare dryly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Next, Sun Yang and Jia Xu found a sunny place and waited for the soldiers to load the supplies, after all, pulling out the camp is a tedious matter, and it can't be finished without a few hours.

I didn't expect this wait to be a full four hours, which would not have taken so long, mainly because I had a meal in the middle, which took half an hour.

By the time the soldiers had loaded all the supplies onto the mules and horses, it was already in the middle of the day.

Everything was ready to stop, several heralds walked in front of Sun Yang, waiting for Sun Yang's order, Sun Yang glanced back at Langling's camp, and the appearance of Ren Fu involuntarily appeared in his mind, and then shook his head, put aside this emotion, turned his head and shouted: "Go"

After several heralds agreed, they rushed towards the front of the army, galloping while conveying Sun Yang's instructions.

It didn't take long for the whole team to move slowly, and then the speed gradually became faster, and this speed was maintained for a while, and Sun Yang found a problem, because the speed of the cavalry and light feet in front was a little fast, and the foot soldiers behind couldn't keep up, Sun Yang hurriedly sent people to the front to let the cavalry and light feet slow down.

After a while, the herald came back and said something that made Sun Yang cry and laugh, those soldiers who had just been assigned horses couldn't control the war horses, and were carried away by the war horses.

Now Sun Yang wonders if he is too whimsical, the thing is like this, Sun Yang divided 10,000 of the 20,000 war horses brought back from the Song Dynasty and handed them over to the Western soldiers, so that with the addition of more than 1,000 cavalry, Sun Yang has more than 21,000 cavalry.

The idea was good, but it backfired. Those infantry who had just learned to ride horses, even with the help of stirrups, still behaved badly, not as good as themselves.

When marching, there are always people who fall off their horses, their feet hanging from stirrups, dragged along, and those who are lucky enough to get bruised; If you are unlucky, you will be seriously injured directly.

Later, the situation became more and more serious, and Lu Bu of the former army couldn't help it, and ran over to Sun Yang and said: "10,000 cavalry is enough for us to crisscross the Central Plains, don't be greedy and chew too much." ”

Sun Yang really wanted to tell Lu Bu that he had never thought of crisscrossing the Central Plains, and his purpose was to unify the world from the beginning.

But if you say this, you will probably be treated as a fool by Lu Bu.

One of the guards rode over and said, "General Lei of the Lightfoot Battalion asks to see you." ”

Sun Yang glanced up at Lei Bo, who was blocked in the distance, and said, "Let him come over." ”

The guards promised to leave, and after a while, Lei Bo ran over sweating profusely.

Seeing that he was walking over, Sun Yang asked strangely, "Wouldn't General Lei be a mount?" ”

Lei Bo said angrily: "As the commander of the light foot battalion, Bo should be the same as a soldier. ”

Sun Yang praised: "Set an example for the soldiers, this is very good, what are you looking for me?" ”

Lei Bo asked, "Can you return the armor of the Light Foot Battalion?" ”

The light foot battalion that Lei Bo said was actually the Huainan Army that was captured on the bank of Rushui, except that Sun Yang selected more than 3,000 physically strong soldiers from it and incorporated them into the Western Army to supplement the losses of the Western Army in Rushui last time. The remaining 5,000 Huainan prisoners of war were incorporated into the light foot battalion, the light foot battalion, as the name suggests, is to run fast, why they run fast, it is because they don't even have decent armor, no armor on their bodies, naturally they are light and light.

Sun Yang shook his head directly at Lei Bo's request, he was not very at ease with the Huainan prisoners of war and Lei Bo in the light foot camp now. Especially in the light foot battalion, a few thousand people are not a small number, and if he doesn't do it, he will capsize in the gutter, so he gives the men in the light foot battalion the worst weapons and equipment, and keeps them away from the food and grass baggage, so as to prevent arson from those with ill intentions.

However, Sun Yang did not do things absolutely, the food of the light foot battalion was not bad at all, the Western Army ate tofu brains and flatbread in the morning, they were also tofu brains and flatbread, and the Western Army ate meat and soup at noon and night, and they also ate meat and drank soup.

Lei Bo was a little disappointed when he saw that Sun Yang didn't agree, but he didn't give up, if he didn't work today, he would do it tomorrow, if he didn't work tomorrow, he would come every day, so he didn't believe in the lord and didn't agree.

Thinking of this, Lei Bo's mood was no longer gloomy, and he was about to go back to Sun Yang.

Seeing that Lei Bo was leaving, Sun Yang stopped him and asked, "What do the people in the Light Foot Camp think about the food?" ”

Lei Bo heard Sun Yang mention the food, and his expression relaxed: "Everyone said that compared to the food here of the lord, the food used to be inferior to pig food. ”

Sun Yang nodded and said, "That's good, you go back first." ”

Lei Bo gave up.

Sun Yang looked at the sun that was beginning to deviate in the sky, and was a little anxious, and said to the herald: "Go to the rear army to urge, if we can't catch up with Yang'an County before dark, we can only sleep in the wilderness." ”

After the herald received the order, he slandered in his heart, from Langling to Yang'an County for forty miles, the lord is asking for his life!

But there is no way, the first sentence above, the following ran and broke the leg, sure enough, when the herald passed the order to the rear army, the rear army suddenly became in a commotion, several officers of the rear army directly found the military division Jia Xu, saying that the lord's request is unreasonable, although most of the baggage is on the mule, horse, donkey, ox, but their own weight is not light, in order to cope with emergencies, everyone is wearing dozens of pounds of iron armor, the cavalry and light soldiers of the front army that kind of marching speed, they can keep up with the strange.

At the request of the officers and non-commissioned officers, Jia Xu went to the Chinese army to find Sun Yang and persuaded Sun Yang to change the order.

Sun Yang didn't expect a good march, first the cavalry had an accident, and then the rear army dropped the chain.

In the end, under the persuasion of Jia Xu, Sun Yang slowed down the march, so that when the sun was about to set, the army did not even arrive at Yang'an County, not even the Daoting in the south of Yang'an County.

When the army stopped at a stream, a ranger came and reported, "There is only one stream within a radius of ten miles." ”

Sun Yang looked around and was very dissatisfied, this place was not a good place to set up camp, the forest here was too big, stretching for dozens of miles, there were dead grass and dead branches everywhere, once ignited, it would be an unprecedented fire.

Seeing that Sun Yang didn't answer, the ranger asked, "Lord? ”

Sun Yang was about to answer, but he saw many soldiers pitching their tents in the woods, so he pointed to the distance and said, "Which battalion is that, call their battalion commanders?" ”

After a while, an eight-foot burly man came over and bowed to Sun Yang.

Sun Yang exchanged a few words with them, and then said: "You are also old soldiers, how can you allow the soldiers to set up tents on dry grass and dead branches!" ”

The burly man said with a bitter face: "Back to the official's house, the soldiers of our battalion are all southerners, afraid of the cold, and want to hide in the woods to avoid the wind." ”
