"Military Gate, there is a small river ahead, and our army can camp on the side of the Ru River tonight

Early this morning, Wang Dou and Yang Guozhu led the army out in advance, and thousands of troops went straight through Zanhuang and Yuan's clan, and when it was close to evening, they arrived at the edge of the liquid river not far from Zacheng.

"It's to let the soldiers rest well

Yang Guozhu glanced back at the army behind him. In this cold weather, every soldier's face was frozen and bruised, especially Guo Yingxian, the general of the Chinese army behind Yang Guozhu, he couldn't help but breathe white, but the thick breath exhaled from his mouth froze on his beard in a blink of an eye, making his mouth a piece of white flowers.

The cold wind swept through the body like a knife, and wearing armor in this weather is a sin. Therefore, including the Shunxiang Army, all the soldiers in Xuanfu Town put their armor on their bodies, especially the soldiers in the main barracks, and put their armor on their horses.

Anyway, if there is no sentry at night, there is a great enemy coming, and the army has no time to put on its own armor.

In addition, everyone wraps themselves like rice dumplings, wears all the things they can find to protect them from the cold, and wraps their heads and faces tightly in cloth towels to try not to expose their skin to the air. However, the weather was too cold, and Yang Guozhu and Wang Dou were worried about the long march. Can a lieutenant or non-soldier suffer from fatigue and frostbite, resulting in non-combat attrition of non-combatants?

Today's march has made Yang Guozhu and Wang Dou very satisfied, especially the good state of the Shunxiang army, which makes Yang Guozhu full of praise. All his main barracks had horses, but at the end of the day, the men and horses were still tired. On the other hand, Wang Dou's Shunxiang army. After walking for more than 100 miles, it seems that everyone still has spare strength, and Yang Guozhu can't help but sigh.

Wang Dou knew that after the extremely cruel battle of the giant deer, the soldiers who survived in the army. Reborn, both physically and psychologically, they have reached the peak state they can achieve, and it is not surprising that they have rested in Zanhuang for more than ten days, so it is not surprising that they have the ideal state at present.

However, Wang Dou still needs to be cautious, he knows that at this time, due to disease, water and soil adaptation, weather and other reasons, the phenomenon of army attrition is common. These surviving sergeants are all officer seeds, and they can't afford to lose their troops because of the harsh weather. Therefore, in addition to all the doctors in the army accompanying him, Wang Dou decided that in addition to today, the rest of the journey can be traveled 100 miles a day to maintain the sufficient physical strength and mental state of the soldiers.

It is not without precedent, in the battle of the Gaoliang River in the early Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi led the Song army to march continuously for ten days. In this battle, Yang Guozhu promised many benefits. That's why they're willing to come.

As Wang Dou, as soon as he gave an order, the sergeants under his command followed without hesitation.

Yang Guozhu saw that Wang Dou kept shouting at the sergeants, and his morale was high everywhere he went, and he couldn't help but think thoughtfully. He invited Wang Dou to his tent to talk, and Wang Dou's two thousand general Wen Fangliang and Zhong Xiancai also followed him.

"Military Gate, today our army has marched more than 120 miles, and the journey is smooth. Tomorrow, our army will go straight through the city, march for nearly 100 miles, and reach Wuji in the afternoon. The day after tomorrow, our army marched from Wuji to Dingzhou, marching less than eight "Fu, let the generals rest early, and have a good New Year," "The first day of the new year." Our army started from Dingzhou, went straight through Qingdu, finished the county, and reached Mancheng. The march was more than 130 miles. In Mancheng, our army replenished grain and grass and rested for half a day. From the afternoon of the second day of the first month to the afternoon of the third day of the first month, our army marched more than 120 miles from Mancheng to Yizhou. Converge with the reinforcements of the last general Baoanzhou, rest on the spot, and wait for the arrival of the Tiger Army. ”

Yang Guozhu nodded, Wang Dou's route was arranged in an orderly manner, and he had nothing to say

This veteran is sitting in the tent, also wearing thick iron armor, and Guo Yingxian, the general of the Chinese army next to him, is dressed in the same armor. Staring at Wang Dou for a while, Yang Guozhu said: "General Wang, I am a cavalry in the barracks, so I don't have to worry about traveling a hundred miles a day, and your Shunxiang army is all on a chariot, this cold winter weather is a long-distance march, can the sergeant be left behind?" ”

Wang Dou said: "The military gate doesn't have to worry. The morale of the soldiers is high, and after only a few days of marching, there should be no problem. ”

Guo Yingxian exclaimed enviously: "Lao Wang, I really don't know how your soldiers are trained, those good soldiers, even in my eyes, Lao Guo likes them very much." ”

After a big battle, Guo Yingxian and Wang Dou called him brothers, and his tone was changed to very affectionate: "Lao Wang." ”

Listen to Guo Yingxian say this. Wen Fangliang and Zhong Xiancai under Wang Dou both showed smug expressions on their faces.

Seeing Yang Guozhu's expectant gaze, Wang Dou said: "Military Gate."

Wang Dou opened his mouth. He was about to go to the barracks, and all kinds of hidden consequences were unbearable for Yang Guozhu, and after a long time, he sighed: "If you want to cut most of the soldiers, how can you give up this army?" "On the third day of the first month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen.

At the beginning of the Shen period, Wang Dou and Yang Guozhu's army had passed through Yizhou and arrived at a place called Baimali in the local area, although it was a bitter cold wind and snowflakes. But Wang Dou was very excited, and thousands of troops marched for several days. It is about to reach Baoanzhou's first stronghold leading to the Great Plain of North China, Liujingzhai, a fortified camp located at the junction of Yizhou and Moshui.

Once there, days of arduous marching came to an end.

The smoke and dust were billowing in front, but it was Wen Daxing, who was personally out of the whistle, and he ran to Wang Dou with a few nights, he was full of smiles, and shouted loudly on the horse: "General, a few miles ahead, Han Qian has led two total troops to respond." ”

Wang Dou's face was full of joy: "Is Han Chao coming?" ”

Looking around, there was joy on their faces, and Yang Guozhu was also very happy, and the two ordered to speed up the march.

Soon the two forces on the ground were getting closer and closer, and finally met, and they burst out with a burst of "Wan Sheng" sounds, and the sergeants who went out to fight hugged tightly with the sergeants who stayed behind.

After six days of forced march, Wang Dou and Yang Guozhu led the army to travel 100 miles a day, and the whole army arrived at Yizhou's office.
