Chapter 302: The Soldier Spits Gu Hun
Saving soldiers is like fighting fires, as long as you hesitate a little, it will cause greater losses, but if the rescuers go in a hurry, it is better not to save them.
After some discussion, Yang Heng's father led more than 5,000 people as the deputy marching chief of the northern line as the vanguard of the front, and naturally Yang Heng followed, and the light car Jian set off quickly, and then Li Jing was the chief of the march of the northern line to escort the brigade behind, and even provide supplies to slowly press to the front line.
On the southern front, Li Daozong was the chief of the march, and Hou Junji was the deputy chief of the march, and later sent troops to Tuyuhun.
Let's not mention the march of Li Jing and Li Daozong, let's talk about how the team led by Yang Heng's father was light and simple. The so-called light car is also the luck of the Tang army, since it is going to take advantage of the heavy snow, but after discussing how to march, it has snowed again, and even the temperature has dropped by a few degrees.
All the soldiers of the vanguard army are traveling on skis, and this snowy weather is naturally the best way to move forward by skiing, and even this way can also take shortcuts, as long as it is not a particularly dangerous section, you can take shortcuts, especially this route, which shows the benefits of skis even more, but this requires soldiers to have quite good physical strength, and even have keen observation, otherwise it is easy to fall off the cliff.
Some of the most important supplies were transported by dog-drawn sleds, which were used only when the soldiers could not hunt their prey, and these dog-drawn sleds also carried tents and other camping materials.
However, there are still too few of these sled dogs, first of all, there are no sled dogs trained in the barracks. These dogs were recruited from the Yang family. Yet. Yang Heng has trained a lot of dogs for his father and uncles, and each family has two sleds, which is just enough for these 5,000 people, but in this case, it is more urgent to solve the problem of food on the spot.
In this way, Yang Heng used two methods to use at the same time, one was that each soldier carried a part of dry food, which was made urgently with some dried meat. If you can't hunt during the march, you can use jerky to solve the problem of food.
Also, Yang Heng divided the team into three parts, one part was the scout team, they explored the road in front and marked it, and the middle road was to accompany the sleigh to go forward, camp at a fixed location, and set up a pot stove.
The other part is the hunting team, and they are under the leadership of Yang Heng. Hunting on the sides and behind the marching procession.
And how did the soldiers hunt, first let's take a look at their equipment. Yang Heng is equipped with the personal supplies for each soldier is, dry food has more than two catties, because it is jerky, save a little food, can eat for four or five days, generally do not eat, weapons, first of all, the two snow poles in the hand, these two snow poles are more than four feet long, that is, they can be used as double guns, can also be used as javelins, and can even be combined as a single gun, when you meet prey, such as hares, deer, and some prey walking in the snow, you can directly throw the snow pole in your hand, The shooting rate of the soldiers trained by Yang Heng to throw javelins in an emergency can basically reach about 30 percent, especially when several people cooperate, then the probability of hitting is even higher, so Yang Heng is actually not very worried about the food problem of the army, and there is firewood, which has both a fire sickle, a fire fold, and a fire, and as long as you cut some trees on the road, it is easy to make a fire, this is a snow day, not a rainy day, some dry firewood can still be found, if you can't find it, There is also an emergency fire source on the sled, naturally, these things are still relatively rare, but the amount of this is limited, isn't it?
In addition, each soldier will be equipped with a horizontal knife, a bow and arrows, two pots of arrows a total of 200, under normal circumstances, the soldiers will not waste arrows, and only when hunting, feel that the prey will not run away, the arrows can be recovered will use arrows to shoot the prey, sometimes will also use arrows to shoot when it is extremely dangerous, but in this case, it is difficult to ensure the safety of their own people.
"Report to Major General, there are traces of wild boars found ahead," a scout who can hunt came to report to Yang Heng, "Wild boars, there are a few." "General Hui, look at the paw prints have a small colony, about ten, among them there is a large male wild boar, and a few annual cubs, or how many sows with litters exist in it?"
"Do you know where these wild boars are?" "Major General Hui, this group of wild boars is in a mountain col, the surrounding mountains are not very steep, you can completely encircle this group of wild boars to clean up, this is the terrain of the place where the wild boars are." As he spoke, the scout casually drew a figure on the snow, and even roughly estimated the thickness of the snow in some places.
Besides, this wild boar, wild boar is a herd animal, under normal circumstances, in winter is to find a place to hide during the day, and go out to eat at night, but the picture drawn by the scout in front of him can be seen that the wild boar is also hiding, but it is impossible to attack the wild boar silently, to say that the sense of smell, this wild boar will even be much better than the dog's sense of smell.
"The brigade commanders of the first and second teams came to the meeting, and the others were on standby first." Soon Yang Heng gave an order, he divided the two hundred people into three layers, the soldiers on the innermost layer increased their speed and then used their feet to control the direction, and then with a horizontal knife in their hands, they rushed to the wild boar group stirred up by the scouts, and cut a knife on the wild boar as quickly as possible, and no matter whether the cut was cut or not, don't care too much, use the time of inertia to hang up the horizontal knife as soon as possible, and then speed away with both hands with snow sticks, and then the soldiers of the second team used the same way to deal with these wild boars, and finally, If there are live boars, they will rush to a certain distance from where the soldiers of the third layer are, and these soldiers will use their bows and arrows against the boars, so that if ten wild boars are allowed to escape, there is really nothing to say.
"Attention, surround the boar from the downwind, then the scout goes to alarm the boar first, and then the first team starts to move, and when the first team leaves about fifty paces, the second team also starts to move, and then the third team starts to shoot and wait for the wild boar to arrive."
For Yang Heng's well-trained team, hunting a group of wild boars should be a very easy thing, first of all, the horizontal knife is quite sharp, but it is much stronger than Yang Heng's historical horizontal knife, and moreover, it also uses the tactics of dragging the knife, that is, for the wild boar and the knife, it is all going in the opposite direction at a fairly high speed, which is not the cutting strength of the knife, but the sawing strength, no matter how thick the wild boar skin can not withstand the cutting force. In particular, some pigs will not be stabbed once, but several.
The soldiers soon formed within a radius of more than two miles from the boar's location, and first, the scout moved quickly, not only gliding at high speed, but even stirring up some snow blocks with his snow poles from time to time to provoke the boar's anger.
The wild boar was taken aback, and immediately became angry, this person will get snow blindness in the snow, and this wild boar may also have snow blindness, otherwise how could this group of wild boars scatter and escape, Yang Heng is also worried that these wild boars will move in one direction, but don't worry now, there is a wild boar of nearly five hundred catties, and a few sows of two or three hundred catties, naturally there are a few wild boars that are less than 100 catties, maybe thinner, because half a winter has passed, and at this time the wild boars are starting to lose weight.
However, this is not ten wild boars, but twelve wild boars, enough for the whole army to eat for two days, if you can find something else, maybe you can eat it for a longer time, this, when you meet a wild boar, it is possible to find food that wild boars can eat, wild boars can eat, natural people can also eat it, even Yang Heng's special forces in his previous life can eat some messy things, not to mention the people of this era, it is dried bark, they can also cook and eat.
