There are regular marches, forced marches and rapid marches, and the regular marches are on foot at a speed of eight to ten miles per hour, and the journey is about eighty miles a day, while the forced march is more than ten miles per hour, the daily march is more than 12 hours, and the journey is more than 100 miles a day. The fastest rapid march, marching at the fastest speed, is adopted in urgent tasks, walking fast, walking and running alternately, the speed can reach more than fifteen miles per hour, if necessary, the speed can exceed twenty miles, if necessary, it can maintain a high-speed rapid march for a day, and the fastest can reach two or three hundred miles a day.

Ling Yun's marching speed was limited to thirty miles per day, and the speed was basically maintained at five miles per hour, which was about the same speed as walking, and he only walked for three hours a day. You have to rest for a quarter of an hour every half hour, and rest for every hour you walk. Halfway through the day's march, there is a big rest, a fire to cook, and water to feed the horses. It was still very early before dark, and the troops began to stop marching and begin to set up camp.

Ling Yun was not in a hurry to leave, this was known to Wei Zheng and the others. Ling Yun was more concerned about the process of marching, in the whole process of marching, Ling Yun strictly required officers at all levels to lead the team, strengthen the control of the marching army, the long queue of 5,000 men and horses, must maintain a steady distance, at the same time, the scouts of the front army, the road sappers, the left and right rangers, each doing their own duties. The smoothness of the command system of the whole army during the march, the division of labor when camping, the rotating guards when camping, etc., Ling Yun made full use of the first large-scale march of the Huaihuang Army to test this new army, and strive to bring this army to a real professional army, not just a swarm of bandits.

Lingyun knows that good habits are formed slowly. Now there is a chance to cultivate slowly. You can't miss it, otherwise once this unit has formed a casual style, it will be much more troublesome to correct it.

In the camp of Heibagou. 一qiē有样样。

Everyone walked thirty miles during the day, more like a walk than a march, although Lingyun asked everyone to dig a ditch to build a camp and cut down a fence, and even specifically required each team to dig a toilet and other harsh requirements, but at night the baggage team killed fifty pigs, and each brigade divided a pig and more than 100 catties of pork, and the only little puzzle in everyone's heart went with it.

Yellowstone and his fellow spearmen dug an improvised pit downwind of their tent. After patting the dirt off his body, he measured a liter of rice from the backpack grain bag in the tent and walked to the wind of the tent. Two other comrades of the gang. The archers Blackfish and Big Eye are making a fire, the stove pit has been dug and the iron pot has been buried, and there is no single leader in the gang. Everyone takes turns cooking. Two people at a time. The stove is good, the pot is set up, and the fire is good, but the food has to be brought to each person. There was no separate man to transport food this time, although there were baggage soldiers, they only transported supplies and ordnance. Each person carries his own food, and when he cooks, he or she cooks his own amount of rice.

Pour your own liter of rice into the black fish's iron helmet. Huang Shi sighed and said, "What a good rice, as crystal white as a pearl." I've never eaten rice before. After I was elected to the army, I often ate it, and if I told it to those people in our country, they would definitely not believe it, thinking that I was bragging. ”

Huang Shi is only sixteen years old this year, but he is very tall, six feet tall, and he is a mountain dweller near the Daning Pass in the Great Wall. Although this is the Sui realm, it is actually basically a remote place far away from the emperor of Tiangao, and the family lives in the mountains for a very hard time. Wang Bao took over the position of the master of the Erlong Hall and began to recruit some honest and young and strong mountain people to enrich the Erlong Hall in order to suppress the original team of Zhou Fang Xue Liang. Huang Shi saw that Erlongtang's settling-in allowance for recruiting soldiers was five yuan, and he could still have two thousand yuan a month, so he pressed his fingerprint on the recruitment book under the recruitment flag, and handed over the five yuan settling-in allowance and the two monthly salaries that he received in advance to his younger brother, and asked him to take the money home to see his mother's doctor, and take out some more money to say goodbye to his eldest brother who was in his twenties and had not yet married a daughter-in-law. Originally, he just came to sell and hunt pheasants, and then became a soldier of Erlongtang, and then went to Huaihuang with Wang Bao, and was selected as a soldier in the outer town soon after, and then because he used to hunt, he used a soft bow, and he was tall and powerful, and was elected as a longbowman by Wang Bo.

Before joining the Huaihuang Army, Huang Shi lived for sixteen years and never ate rice. The remote mountain people on the northern frontier, usually don't talk about rice, it is difficult to eat corn, two meals a day, all year round are with a variety of wild vegetables to cook porridge, there are many families, there are three younger brothers under the two elder brothers, and there are several sisters, the poor family is like this, the poorer they are, the more they are born, the more people there are, the more people they have, the less enough to eat. If you add the premature death, his mother has given birth to more than a dozen children, and she has given birth many times without nutrition and care, so she is only in her forties, and she is already in bed all the year round, and she has no money to take medicine. If it weren't for this, Huang Shi would not have come to be a soldier, after all, unless it was a last resort, ordinary children were unwilling to eat this severed meal, and they all said that good men should not be soldiers, and good iron would not be nailed.

Under the recruiting flag, when he pressed that handprint, Huang Shi's heart was actually very tragic, he thought that his life was over, and he might lose his head one day.

It's just that he never thought that after he became a soldier in Huaihuang, it would be completely different from the days he imagined. Especially after arriving in Huaihuang City from Erlongtang, he was quickly selected into the Longbow Battalion, and he trained all day long, although he was very tired every day, he ate very well, not to mention the rice was full, and he had a meal of meat to eat every day. To be honest, Huang Shi has never eaten so well when he has grown so big, he is sixteen years old, and he has only eaten meat once, and that is when his sister got married. It is hard to believe that he began to learn to hunt when he was a teenager, first by making traps, then with a soft bow made of earth, and with some prey, but he never stayed to eat these prey, and sold them all for money, in exchange for money to compensate his family. The first time he ate meat in the Longbow camp, tears fell from the tears of eating a large spoonful of meat, and several brothers of his accomplices were also very emotional, and finally everyone gave him their own meat that day. It added up to almost two catties of meat, and he ate it all by himself.

The black fish was holding a knife and dagger and was cutting the ten catties of meat that had been divided into the gang of men, and the large piece of pork belly with skin was cut into square pieces. He also smiled while cutting: "Who says it's not, damn it, before I went up the mountain to join the gang, I didn't even pay for the taste of pork." But you see now, good fellow, you will give us ten catties of meat for one meal, one catty per person. This meat is really fat, and Lao Tzu will make braised pork for everyone in a while, and the stew will be rotten. Add a little sucrose, it's fragrant and sweet. ”

Speaking of braised pork with sugar, this has almost become a favorite dish of the soldiers of the Huaihuang Army. And almost everyone especially likes to add sugar, and the braised pork with sugar is called braised pork. That is, the leader of the alliance is so bold and generous, and this expedition actually gave each person three taels of sucrose. When the food was distributed before the expedition, most of the soldiers stared at the red block and didn't know what it was. Even after explaining above that it was a sucrose block, I still didn't understand what a sucrose block was. When I heard that this cane sugar nugget is extremely expensive. When it was only enjoyed by those wealthy and aristocratic families, everyone was amazed. However, when the sweetness of this cane sugar cube was paid, everyone fell in love with this expensive food. Everyone hid their cane sugar cubes close to their bodies, and when they couldn't help but miss the sweet taste, they would carefully open the cloth bag and lick it lightly.

The three taels of cane sugar cubes in the yellow stone are also carefully hidden close to the chest, and the three taels of cane sugar are all small dark red pieces in the shape of cubes, about thirty or so. He only ate half of it, and he just took a piece out with everyone to make the sucrose braised pork for the night. He kept the rest and was reluctant to eat it. He had already thought that when he returned from this battle, he would ask someone to bring this sugar home and give it to Aya A-Niang and his brothers and sisters, so that they would also repay the gold and precious things that only this noble family could eat.

The iron pot has been burned red, and the big eye in charge of the spoon poured the fat pieces cut by the black fish into the pot, and the fat pieces suddenly made a sizzling sound, and the smell of meat exploded.

"You can never get enough of it!" Yellowstone sighed.

"Then follow the alliance leader all the time, and follow the alliance leader to have meat to eat." The gang commander didn't know when he had walked back, and he was followed by the deputy gang leader, two captains and two deputy captains. When Huang Shi saw the chiefs of his gang coming over, his expression immediately became a little nervous, and he hurriedly saluted. Even if the captain is in the official army, he is not a formal officer position, but in the eyes of a very simple recruit like Huang Shi, the captain is already a boss full of majesty, and even the captain and deputy commander are full of majesty. Huang Shi heard that their gang leader used to be an old subordinate of the alliance leader when he was in the White Horse Hall, so he respected this chief more and more.

The gang leader Zhong Laosan enjoys the reverence of a rookie like Huang Shi, he is in his thirties this year, he has missing one of his front teeth, his skin is dark, and he is even a little thin. He is very tall, so he looks like a bamboo pole. In the past, when he was in the White Horse Hall, he was just an ordinary ordinary minions, although he shot arrows well, but he was always called Zhong Laosan, and he was nicknamed Bamboo Pole, but now he was transferred to the Longbow Battalion, and he became the captain with his qualifications, and was very respected by Huang Shi and other recruits, and he was very useful in his heart.

"Sit down, man." Heiyu also hurriedly moved a mound in front of Zhong Laosan and said respectfully.

Zhong Laosan coughed and said pretendedly: "They are all brothers who stir horses and spoons in a pot, don't be so polite, we don't want to be this with the wilderness." "That being said, he is extremely affected by this feeling of being an official." Let me tell you, all of us burned high incense in our previous lives, and we can only serve under the account of the alliance leader in this life. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Huang Shi and the others all responded to this, and they didn't doubt Captain Zhong's words at all, where can they be soldiers and eat food, they can eat rice all day long, and they can often eat meat to their heart's content, and even have expensive things like cane sugar to eat?

"Make braised pork to eat, right? Big eyes?" Zhong Laosan glanced at the pot and said.

"Yes, yes."

"Don't forget to put sucrose when making braised pork, how many pieces do you put in it?"

"Put two pieces." Big-eyed replied. Zhong Laosan shook his head, "This braised pork has to be made with sucrose to be delicious, two pieces are enough, put more, let's put four pieces." Saying that, Zhong Laosan took out his bag of candy from his arms, picked out two pieces from it and handed them to Big Eyes, "Take it, put it in." ”

Wide-eyed excused, Zhong Laosan pretended to stare at him, and then let him accept it. Although sugar is very expensive, Zhong Laosan also knows that two pieces of sugar are as important as the hearts of his subordinates, and he still counts them clearly.

"I'm telling you, as long as you follow our alliance leader, what is it to eat braised pork? As long as you follow the main stem of the alliance, you can eat as much braised pork as you want with sugar. I'll tell you again, but I heard from the alliance leader that after destroying the old knife handle and the unknown guys this time, the alliance leader will marry our brothers. ”

As soon as they heard this, Huang Shi, Heiyu, Big Eyes, etc., all widened their eyes and asked excitedly, "Really?" ”

"Then can there be a fake?" In fact, Zhong Laosan also heard a captain of the pro-army in the account say casually, "Of course, there are more than 20,000 brothers in our alliance, and there are not many daughters-in-law, if you want a daughter-in-law, you have to rely on yourself." In two days, it will be our first battle, and then you can't be cowardly to Lao Tzu, go to the battlefield, I tell you, don't coax, just do it. The table is good, not only will there be a rich reward, but the daughter-in-law will definitely be in the front when the time comes, understand? ”

"Understood!" Yellowstone replied very loudly this time!
