It is also strange to say, since leaving the capital, the continuous spring rain has been raining non-stop, the official road is muddy, coupled with the cold spring of the willow season, in the bleak wind and cold rain, it makes people seem to return to the cold winter. Marching in this weather, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the battle-hardened veterans are demoralized, as if they are a bad omen from heaven.

Lin Wanrong led troops when he was in Shandong, but it was a bandit, the enemy was outnumbered, and the support was sufficient, and he had a huge advantage in psychology and troops, and he dared to fight with his eyes closed. But now facing the Turks, the Turks and the White Lotus Sect are not opponents of the same level at all, looking at the solemn expression on the face of General Li Tai, you can know Yiwu,

General Lin responded to all changes with the same and handed over the training to Hu Bugui and Du Xiuyuan and others, who had long been familiar with Lord Lin's training methods. Under this double incentive, even the weakest soldiers can be trained into a hot-blooded son by Hu Du and a few people. This set of methods, when I was in Shandong, I trained the grain and grass army, and it has long been proved to be effective, and there is nothing to worry about.

In the camp on the right, the most leisurely person is none other than General Lin. The generals under him were busy training, but he took the high chief to wander around the barracks all day long, and his favorite thing was to catch a few ordinary soldiers, laugh and pull some homely things, and when it was time to eat, he grabbed food with everyone. He doesn't put on a show, his exit is dirty, from the generals to the fireman, he can mingle, and it is very lively.

Occasionally, when the interest came, General Lin would gather everyone to sing a small song together, and the southern and northern tunes would be gathered together. Everyone who sang was happy and sad.

The most special thing is that Lord Lin created the "Reading Family Letters" competition. The army on the right was fifty or sixty thousand horses, and countless letters from his family arrived every day, so he gathered a few hundreds. Encourage the soldiers to read the letters sent from afar in front of everyone, and at this time, it is the happiest moment for all the soldiers.

After a long time, these have become a routine, Lord Lin commanded the army on the right side, practiced the hardest every day, laughed the most happily, and the atmosphere and mood formed a sharp contrast with the continuous spring rain.

The army marched north for a few days, and then changed its direction to east to west. As we walked along the southern foot of the Great Wall, the climate was gradually getting drier.

"General, it's time for the army to deliberate. Are you going to go today, or are you still going to be the last general?! Du Xiuyuan smiled and reported, but saw that his immediate boss was holding a strange pen and making a gesture on the white paper.

Lin Wanrong made a heavy stroke on the white paper, and then yawned. Lazy said: "Every day's collegiality, aren't all those things?" Each battalion counts the number of people and reports the details of the training. Listen to the lecture of the general or Miss Xu, alas, isn't this torturing me, a disabled person? That's a few dozen miles back and forth. ”

The army continued to move forward, and the atmosphere had gradually become tense, and after Xu Zhiqing had told Li Taiyu, he had to hold a collegiate meeting in the army every day to discuss the enemy situation and the marching route, which gradually became habitual. Lord Lin's army on the right was twenty miles away from Li Taidi's camp. Running back and forth, at least for an hour, this is really difficult for Lord Lin, who is lame, so these days have been Du Xiuyuan to report on his behalf.

What kind of disabled person, your injury has long been neatly resolved, and yesterday I rode a sweaty BMW for two laps, and I couldn't even catch you if I didn't return, when everyone didn't know? Chief Gao followed him all day long, so he naturally knew the details, and when he saw that he had found an excuse to be lazy, he was amused.

Du Xiuyuan nodded and said, "Then I'll go, but Miss Xu will ask again today, how will she answer at the end?!" The general didn't go to the camp tent for a few days to make a report, and Xu Junshi seemed to be a little annoyed some time ago. ”

She's been annoyed a lot, and it's not the first time. Lord Lin shook his head and said with a sad face: "It's not that I don't want to go, it's really hurt." I risk the pain of breaking my leg every day, and Miss Xu should also be considerate and considerate of us disabled people. Well, I'll recuperate for two more days and report back to her in person. ”

Du Xiuyuan and others all knew that there seemed to be something strange between him and Xu Junshi, and seeing his repeated shirk, it confirmed the thoughts in their hearts, and they hugged their fists and smiled at the moment: "Understand, understand." General Lin has the heart to report to Xu Junshi in person, but his body does not allow it, and Miss Xu can understand, so I will report to her. ”

"Yes, that's exactly what happened." Lin Wanrong laughed twice, praising Brother Du for being smart. When Du Xiuyuan rode away, Lin Wanrong shook the rice paper in his hand, handed it to Hu Bugui and said: "Brother Hu, you are an expert in raising horses and an expert in military training, can you help me see if this idea works or not?" ”

Hu Bugui took the piece of paper, only glanced at it, and his face changed greatly: "General Lin, who came up with this solution?!" ”

Lin Wanrong waved his hand: "Don't care who thinks of it, you just say it's okay or not!" ”

Hu Bugui pondered for a long time, and said cautiously: "If you tie a five-pound sandbag to the soldier's leg, march seventy to eighty miles a day, plus the drill during the camp, this intensity is too great, and I am afraid that the brothers will not be able to support it." ”

"Then let me ask, Brother Hu, if you tie this sandbag to the marching exercise, will there be a problem?" Lin Wanrong is colorful.

Hu Bugui laughed loudly and shook his head confidently: "What is this, my old Hu used to beat sweat and blood horses with iron legs in the past, let alone a small five-pound sandbag." Not only me, but my old Hu has self-confidence, and my brothers in Xu Zhen's battalion from Shandong**, everyone has this ability. ”

"That's it." Lin Wanrong snorted: "It's the same person, there's no reason why anyone is worse than whom." The order goes down, starting tomorrow, no, starting tonight, my army on the right will go up to the generals, down to the soldiers, whether you are a cavalry battalion, a foot battalion, a god machine battalion, whether it is a marching drill, eating, drinking, and sleeping in a toilet, everyone must tie me a five-pound sandbag. No one is allowed to take it off without my order, and those who violate it will be dealt with by military law! ”

"Order." Hu Bugui hurriedly shouted, called the clerk, and sent the notice out overnight.

"There is one more thing," Lin Wanrong thought for a while, and called Hu Bugui, who was about to step out of the camp: "Tie sandbags to my legs on every war horse, whether it is a camel or a camel man." ”

"Under such heavy pressure, the combat power of the military horse has increased, but I am afraid that the life span will be shortened by half a year."

"It is much better for a war horse to live less than half a year for a man to live for a lifetime." Seeing that Hu Bugui and Chief Gao were both looking at him blankly, Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Hu, Brother Gao, do you think I'm brutal?!" ”

Chief Gao said seriously: "Brother Lin, you have never missed a step in doing things, and we all believe in you." ”

"Actually, I had this idea when I rode that sweaty BMW yesterday." Lin Wanrong sighed: "Whether you admit it or not, the Turkic BMW is indeed much more than Dahua." In terms of the combat power of the cavalry alone, we lost at the starting line. There is only some unconventional methods, even if it is to pull out the seedlings and consume the war horses, there is no way. ”

Hu Bugui was born in cavalry, and his feelings for war horses were far better than ordinary people, so he could only sigh softly and be silent.

Lin Wanrong took out two sandbags under his pillow, tied them to his legs hard, and waved his hand: "Brother Hu, you go and gather the brothers, and I will tell them." ”

It was dinner time, the leader of the army set up a cauldron, and the smell of food wafted in the camp.

When Lin Wanrong stepped out of the tent, he saw a bright red sunset hanging in the sky, and the long-lost glow reflected tens of thousands of young faces. I finally saw the sun, but it was the sunset, could it be that this time I went north, the future is really bleak? Shaking his head to dispel the distractions in his heart, he climbed the high wooden platform that had been temporarily erected, and he looked around. The mountains were full of warriors, young and swarthy faces, and their eyes were full of unknown excitement. Yellow-maned, black-maned, and white-maned horses converge into patches of colorful clouds. The swords and guns glittered with cold light, shining with a strange cold glow in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Brothers," Lin Wanrong looked around. Speaking in a low voice, his voice echoed through the valleys on all sides, and he heard it very clearly: "I believe you have received the order." That's right, this order was given by someone from my forest. From now on, no matter whether you are a cavalry infantry archer or a general's clerk, each of you will weigh five pounds on each leg, and no one will be allowed to leave without my order. Violators, chop! ”

The sound of the word "chop" was thrown far away. It reverberated through the valley, striking the eardrums of every soldier. There was silence all around, and everyone looked at the young general who had laughed and played with him. Looking at his dignified face, which he had never had, there was a sense of urgency that the mountain rain was coming.

"Actually, I was stimulated," Lin Wanrong sighed for a long time, and the scene was silent: "These days when the army is leisure, there is always a farewell in front of me. I saw our gray-haired old lady. The wife with red makeup in tears, waiting to feed her children, believe in this scene. Every brother will never be forgotten. ”

"Every time a brother reads a family letter, we are just as excited. Our relatives, their wishes are the simplest, they don't want glory and wealth, they don't want to wear gold and silver, they just hope that we can go back safely. I hope that every brother will remember that in the hearts of their loved ones, you are not a wave or a small grass. What are you? You are the majestic and magnificent, sheltered from the wind and rain, as noble as the sky, and you are the Helan Mountain that will never fall!! ”

Tens of thousands of sergeants were standing, but the sound of needle tips falling could be heard quietly. Countless young ground holes were flushed, their fists clenched as if they were about to burst, and the tears in their eyes were secretly wiped away.

Lin Wanrong let out a long breath, and her voice calmed down again: "Please look at my legs, these are two sandbags, five-pound sandbags, you can easily do it." Where is Xu Zhen--Broken Pile-"

"The last general!" Xu Zhen and more than a dozen sturdy soldiers came out of the crowd, and their legs had already been tied with heavy sandbags, and the weight was more than ten catties.

"Kill-" More than a dozen people shouted at the same time, and swung their legs at the vertical stakes in the field, and the steady wooden stakes snapped and broke into two. Xu Zhen and the others were calm and relaxed, as if they had never moved.

"I believe everyone has seen it," Lin Wanrong shouted: "As long as you work hard, you can also have such skills." No matter how hard and tired you are today, it's all for the sake of seeing your relatives in the future, brothers, what are you hesitating about?! ”

He is really a natural person who eats by mouth, this tirade is reasonable, and it is touching with emotion, even the high chief is said to be moved, not to mention these soldiers who have great respect for Lord Lin? Tens of thousands of soldiers rushed to tie the sandbag, and the scene was extremely lively for a while.

In the next drill, the sergeants were not as flexible as before because they tied sandbags, but this pain always had to be experienced. Lin Wanrong lowered her voice and said, "Brother Gao, do you think if you continue to practice like this, how long will it take to produce results?" ”

Gao Chief's martial arts are extraordinary, and this sandbag is pediatric in his eyes: "Is it effective, every day." It's just that in the first few days of this exercise, my legs may be a little swollen and painful, but these are my elite soldiers of Dahua, with a strong physique, and it is estimated that they will be able to walk as usual in less than ten days. At most, it will take no more than a month to see the real results. ”

One month? Let's hope it's still too late. Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly and shook her head, this method came to me late, but it was better than nothing.

"Hey, isn't that Du Xiuyuan?!" A horse galloped from afar, and Chief Gao's eyesight was very good, and he could see at a glance that it was Du Xiuyuan who was General Dai Lin going to the camp, and suddenly wondered: "Today's collegiate meeting ended so early?" ”

Lin Wanrong was also a little puzzled, did Miss Xu finish her training so early? Du Xiuyuan rushed over, and the sweat on his face didn't have time to wipe it off, Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Brother Du, is the conference over?" What did Xu Junshi say? ”

Du Xiuyuan shook his head hurriedly: "No, when I arrived at the camp, I didn't even see the shadow of Xu Junshi." I asked General Zuoqiu of the Left Route Army, and he said that Xu Junshi went to patrol the camp today. ”

Patrol the camp? Lin Wanrong's eyes blinked, and suddenly sighed: "It's not good, she must have grabbed my pigtails, and if she doesn't do it, she will have to be dealt with by military law." Brother Du, you are on top here, I have something to do first. Chief Gao, prepare me with the fastest sweaty horse, I'm going out to urinate-"

"Shameless!" A coquettish sound sounded in his ears, with a hint of anger, and Lord Lin's cold hair stood up.
