Contrary to the various divisions in the west that need to fight and advance in the face of the vicious sun, the Red Eighth Army of Qingzhou City has been far behind, but it is braving the rain of soybeans pouring down and moving forward hard in the mud.
In the long line, from time to time, someone falls. At first, when they saw the various falls they made, it would always attract bursts of laughter from their companions, and in the laughter, the soldiers seemed to forget the hardships under their feet. But as time went on, this laughter gradually became less and less.
The soldiers who walked looked solemn and dull, and the sweat flowing on their faces was intertwined with the rain. And the first thing he did when he fell and crawled out of the muddy water and sat up was to look up at the dark sky in annoyance, first gasp a few times, curse a few words of hatred in his mouth, and then, with one hand, rub two handfuls on his face, whether dirty or not, and make himself a big face. Then move the two ankles that have already gone sore, hehe, intact. So, I didn't care where there was pain on my body, and continued to chase after my team.
With the torrent surging forward, Chen Tingxiang led the men and horses of the Red Eighth Army Headquarters and gradually caught up with the more unique team in front.
It is said that it is unique, one is that in this team of only more than 100 people, there are many mules and horses, and those who do not know the inside story will mistakenly think that this should be the rank of the commander head. Take a closer look, though, and you'll see what really makes it special.
In this row, more people are tall and stout, and their costumes are not quite the same as the flow of people rolling back and forth. Except for the Red Star hat under the hat on each person's head, and high riding boots on their feet, most of them wore striking red shirts. In addition, their noses are surprisingly large.
At the front of the queue, a burly, hulky body, swaying from side to side in the rain and mud, struggled to pull out two heavy riding boots. "Puff ......" An careless foot slipped, and with his exclamation, his fat body suddenly fell to the ground.
"Oops...... My dear friend Nobavsky, why did you lie down before it was time to rest? Chen Tingxiang, who was catching up, took two steps closely, and while laboriously supporting Nobanovsky, who was suffering from back pain, he was joking.
"Alas...... General, I'm really looking forward to finding a place to lie down and sleep on it for ten days and ten nights. Seeing that it was actually the military commander who lifted him, Nobanovsky shook his head sadly and spat at the blind God.
"Okay, as soon as you enter Tianjin, the commander of this army will immediately give you a big pardon and let you have a three-day vacation, enough to eat and sleep. How's that, are you satisfied? Chen Tingxiang smiled and looked at Nobanovsky's subordinates next to him.
"Hala is ...... ......"As soon as General Chen's words were translated out, he immediately won a burst of cheers.
"General, since Tianjin has been occupied by the Red Navy fleet of our Celestial Empire, there will be no more dangerous enemies around. Even if General Muravyov could remember, or was willing to send men and horses from Liaodong to counterattack Tianjin, it would not be a matter of time and a half. It doesn't seem necessary for us to rush all the time? Nobanovsky covered his waist with one hand, and continued to move his bulky steps forward with difficulty, while looking at Chen Tingxiang who was supporting him beside him.
"Besides, even if they can come, according to their travel speed, if they want to start from Liaodong, even if it is the nearest Shanhaiguan, they will not be able to go to Tianjin in ten days."
"You can't think about it that way." Chen Tingxiang saw that Nobanovsky's face was a little pale and his lips were blue, so he stopped, and while untying his brown coat and putting it on Nobanovsky's body, he said with a smile, "Our Director Lin has a famous saying, strategically we should despise the enemy, but tactically, we must attach great importance to our opponent. If they really don't come by then, that's their business. But if they come and we don't, that's our big problem. In addition, we must think that if Muravyov had sent men and horses from outside the customs to enter the customs, then their departure would have been in advance, and if we hadn't hurried up, wouldn't we have to get up early in the morning, but catch up with a late meeting? ”
"But ......" Nobanovsky did not refuse Chen Tingxiang's kindness, because he did feel a chill in his body now. He turned his head to look at the way he came, his eyes were a little confused, "But Qingzhou has been left behind us." I heard the order just now, and I had to continue to leave Jinghai in front. If there really is a big battle in Tianjin, this ...... "As a "veteran" who has participated in many wars, Nobanovsky's worries are obviously not superfluous. This time, the various military horses that set off from all over Wuding in a hurry only had time to carry something to be prepared for five days. And these things, for people who eat enough, are enough for three days.
"Rest assured, my friend." Chen Tingxiang smiled, "Where we leave it behind, someone will clean it up for us, and behind us, there will be General Wei Zheng's Red Tenth Army following." In fact, the road we are taking now is the important military supply road for our army to go out of the customs in the future. ”
"If that's the case...... Nobanovsky's lips twitched slightly, and he smiled, "General, then let's hurry up, you see, my brothers have already gone to the front." ”
"Huh...... Walk. Chen Tingxiang took one of Nobanovsky's arms, and asked Nobanovsky with a smile as he walked, "I said old friend, didn't you already equip your team with mules and horses before leaving, but how can you ......?"
"Report to the General, the colonel's horse has been given to the field hospital in front of me." Without waiting for Chen Tingxiang's words to finish, and ignoring the signal that Nobanovsky was looking back at him and shaking his head, the guards who followed him answered first.
"Hehe, General, the girls in the hospital are working harder, this kind of weather, we should take care of them first, we are men after all. Otherwise, once I am admitted to the hospital, it will be very painful to be cared for by the girls. At this, Nobanovsky laughed happily.
"Yes, my friend, you said it so well!" Chen Tingxiang sighed softly.
"Also, I've heard that the generals have already given up their favorite horses before they set off, and I just want to compare with you, who can last until the end." Nobanovsky squeezed his eyes at Chen Tingxiang childishly.
"Haha...... My friend, you can't compare to me. Chen Tingxiang laughed, "One, when I was a child, I was used to running around the mountains with bare feet, and walking was commonplace, so you are not as good as me." Look at the guy on your feet, it's too bulky. Of course, if you ride on a horse, or wander the streets of the town, it is still quite beautiful and magnificent. I'll tell you the truth, I really have such a pair of boots in my bag. But if it's a long run, it's not good, it's not as good as these shoes under my feet. ”
As he spoke, Chen Tingxiang raised his legs and lit up the cloth shoes on his feet.
At first, Nobanovsky shook his head helplessly as if he couldn't compare with the general. But as soon as his eyes fell on the general's upturned feet, he couldn't help but be stunned at first, followed by a cheerful laugh, and waved at the interpreters and guards behind, "Oh, it seems that the meal has passed, but you see, the general must have forgotten to eat, and now he is hungry......"
