Chapter 318: Giving Back

Seeing Chen Jun's reaction, He Huan breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why he said so much was for Chen Jun, this time Chen Jun brought a total of 1,000 men and horses, which is a quarter of the entire army, this proportion is already very high, if at the critical moment, Chen Jun does not completely obey the command, then it is likely to affect the final result of the battle.

Although He Huan was the highest-ranked, the sergeants under Chen Jun listened to Chen Jun's orders first, and he was only ranked second.

Any military orders have to be issued by Chen Jun, and those sergeants will obey them.

Seeing that Chen Jun was frightened, He Huan was much more relieved.

He Huan deliberately said it to Chen Jun, but he didn't want to be really right, why is he really such a person.

But those who win by wit are very understanding of people's hearts and have sharp eyes.

At a glance, you can see what kind of person you are.

If you have the ability, you will be wooed, and if you are wasted, you will be excluded from your own circle, in addition to the general direction, you must also delicately observe everyone's preferences and character flaws, etc.

The reason why it is said to understand people's hearts is because only by seeing through their opponent and truly understanding him can they guess what tactics their opponent will use.

If not, why should the enemy be the first?

Why don't you have a vicious vision, naturally you have long seen that many generals are dissatisfied with you.

The reason is nothing more than that he has no status now, and if he has a high enough official position, naturally no one dares to underestimate him.

Sometimes ability and talent alone cannot convince the public.

In those days, why not use means to cleanse it, the army can't be like an arm, how can it win a hundred battles? But now, he is just indifferent, without the slightest movement, He Huan's subordinates and the soldiers brought by Chen Jun will go back after this battle, and they are not his soldiers, why bother to train them?

It is even possible that in the future it will be an enemy on the battlefield, meeting each other with swords and guns.

Of course, if there is really anyone who will affect the victory of this battle, why not mind spending some effort to get rid of it, it can be said that He Huan inadvertently saved Chen Jun's life.

The ambush was to be set up early, and in the evening of the same day, the army arrived at its destination.

There were several deep, long ravines where the sergeants set up camp to escape the howling cold winds and hide their whereabouts.

At this time, it was winter, and when the army was on the march, it was natural that they were carrying the marching tent on their backs.

After the army stopped, most of the sergeants began to set up tents, this cold day, walking and running and moving was fine, really stopped and the cold could not stand it, and most of the other part of the people fed the horses with forage.

The leaders of the men used marching shovels to dig pits and bury pots for cooking.

At this time, many sergeants from Lingtong County, carrying some cloth bags, found the firehead soldiers and told them to use this fire to cook.

When the cloth bag was opened, there were black-brown stones inside, and these gang leaders were depressed.

Cooking with a stone fire is really the first time in my life.

Seeing the expressions of these gang leaders, the sergeants of Lingtong County were all smiling, several people found dry grass and firewood, lit it, and then led the coal, showing their skills, seeing that the black and brown stones can actually burn, the gang leaders seem to have discovered a new continent.

One by one, they came up in a circle, pointing curiously.

At this time, a few sergeants from Lingtong County said that it was Jiang Long who ordered the soldiers to use coal for cooking, and the reason was naturally because the smoke was not big when the coal was burned, unlike the black smoke after the grass stalks and firewood were burned.

It can be seen clearly from afar, otherwise the ancients would not have built a beacon tower to warn.

If you want to set up an ambush, you must naturally be cautious and cautious, hide your whereabouts well, and not be discovered by your opponent in advance.

Because it is in a ravine, the coal burns, and from a long distance you can only see a few red lights.

He Huan, Chen Jun, and some generals soon got the news, and they all ran over to inspect it, and they were full of voices.

Jiang Long also came after the last day, and said with a smile, "In this winter, it's too cold to camp in the wilderness, after a while, you can ask the sergeant to take some burning coals back to keep warm, remember not to take too much, and be careful not to burn the bedding and camp tent." ”

Coal is difficult to burn completely and releases carbon monoxide, a toxic gas that can kill people.

Therefore, when people heat their homes, they will set up stoves and chimneys to exhaust the gases.

At this time, Jiang Long asked the sergeant to take the burning coal back to the camp tent to keep warm, and he did not make a mistake, because even if the tent of this era is installed well, it is impossible not to show the wind, which is enough to expel the toxic gases, the only thing to be careful about is not to fire too much, and accidentally light the bedding.

Especially after sleeping, if there is a fire, it will burn people to death.

It was too cold outside, and many of the generals went back to their tents after seeing the surprise.

He Huan pulled Jiang Long, strode to his big tent, and asked with a hint of expectation: "Is there a lot of that kind of black stone?" ”

"Hmm." Jiang Long nodded affirmatively.

He Huan was instantly overjoyed, and when he saw that Jiang Long was puzzled, he opened his mouth to explain, "You don't know ...... Dao"

After a while, Jiang Long understood why He Huan was so happy.

It turned out that the climate in northern Xinjiang was cold in winter, and some officials often deprived and deprived military supplies, which made many sergeants not receive enough warm clothes.

But this part of northern Xinjiang is a prairie, and there are not many woods and forests.

Therefore, charcoal and dry firewood are not enough to burn, these two can only be used for cooking, and it is absolutely impossible to use them for heating.

The next thing you want to heat is to burn grass stalks.

But the grass stalk is really not burned, and a large handful of it is lit, and it has already burned out before the hand is warmed.

Therefore, in the army here in northern Xinjiang, heating in winter has always been a big problem, and every year soldiers will freeze to death.

Jiang Long only thought about the people before, and thought that after mining coal mines, he would use a convoy to pull them to the county seat and sell them at a cheap price, but he ignored the army.

"Especially the front, the most dangerous, the earthen forts and ramparts located on the border, because of the shortage of materials and the inconvenience of transportation, the sergeants inside have a hard time! What winter doesn't freeze some people to death? Even sometimes, no one came back for several days to deliver the news, and someone was sent over to check, but the dozen or so people inside were all frozen and hard......" He Huan sighed uncomfortably.

Jiang Long listened, and the corners of his eyes were a little sour.

Being sent to the front of the bunkers and ramparts is the most dangerous.

Because as soon as the alien army arrives, it will be pulled out first, and the people inside must be completely annihilated.

Their role is to detect that something is wrong, and immediately turn back to deliver the news, so that the army or the county town is not raided by foreign troops, and they also have the task of monitoring the movement of the grassland at all times.

It is the same in any world, the people who do the hardest, most tiring, dirtiest, and most dangerous work, their efforts are always disproportionate to their returns, and most of the soldiers who are sent to the front earthen forts and barriers have no back, or they have offended the powerful.

Such people, when they have materials to be allocated, they can't get all the share they should have.

"Brother He really cares and understands the soldiers, and the younger brother admires it."

Jiang Long was telling the truth, and then said: "The younger brother is ready to mine coal on a large scale, and originally wanted to sell it cheaply in the county town first, so that the people will not be frozen in the winter, listening to what the elder brother said, the younger brother decided to send a convoy at that time, and first send some to the sergeants stationed in the earthen forts and barriers, they guard the border for Daqi, resist foreign races, and endure hardships, so they can't let them chill their hearts!" ”

"Good!"

He Huan smiled and patted Jiang Long's shoulder heavily, "My brother really has the demeanor of the little marquis back then!" ”

"When this battle is over, the younger brother will talk to the elder brother in detail."

Although Jiang Long is enthusiastic about doing good deeds, it is not so easy.

The earthen forts and ramparts located on the border are all military buildings, and if they are related to the military, you must not be careless, otherwise you will be accidentally caught, and you may be labeled as a big hat for exploring military secrets.

So even if you want to act, you have to cooperate with He Huan.

He Huan should be again and again.

There was nothing to do all night, and early the next morning, the gang leader was busy again.

However, today is much easier than before, because last night they left a fire, and they can take out the burning coals and cook directly, unlike before when they got up early in the morning and had to raise the fire again.

That night, the sergeants also slept more peacefully, because the tent was much warmer than usual.

The first thing to eat was the scouts in the army, and after the hasty meal, they got on horseback and scouted the surrounding area.

Then why not select a few excellent scouts and personally take them to impart knowledge.

Then he personally took it with him, and asked them to check back and forth in some nearby areas, and if they found a large number of troops, they had to go back and inform them immediately.

Next, the army lay in ambush here.

And in Hewu County, because Jiang Long didn't bring troops to help, he surrounded and suppressed many horse bandits and alien squads, so many horse bandits and aliens were already frightened and didn't dare to burn and loot anymore, and then He Huan led thousands of troops to arrive, and entered the city in the sight of everyone in broad daylight, so all the horse bandits and alien squads that had been scared turned back.

This place is too dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life.

In the depths of the desolate prairie, an army of more than 8,000 people is heading towards Hewu County.

With a thick strip of white cloth wrapped around his head and a gloomy face, he rode a horse and walked in the center of the procession.

From time to time, his subordinates would come to report the news.

"Patriarch, there is an army of four or five thousand people stationed in Hewu County, I'm afraid it will ......," said a foreign general who followed Tuo Mu Ti at this time.

If it is in the wilderness, let alone an army of four or five thousand Qi people, it is forty or fifty thousand, and Bo Tie does not pay attention to it.

Because at most he can't beat him, he can run and then harass again.

But the Qi people are good at defending the city, and after four or five thousand people are stationed in Hewu County, he has no choice.

With his own strength of more than 8,000 people, it is impossible to take the county town garrisoned by four or five thousand Qi people.

That's what previous experience has taught him.

Hearing this, Tuo Mu Ti snorted coldly, "If you're afraid of death, go back now!" ”

Bo Tie's black and red face suddenly turned purple.

lowered his head, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

This dispatch was too reckless.
