Chapter 137: Pulling out the camp and raising the village
When they arrived at the camp of the victorious army, everyone verified their identities in front of the camp gate, and then entered the camp and made a detour, all the way bustling and chaotic were all soldiers waiting for dinner, one by one, with a strong chest and belly. Even if you eat in the evening, you will make it look like you are ready to fight the enemy.
Yang Zaixing was full of worries, and when he saw these colleagues in the army, he also felt relaxed and warm. These sergeants of the Shengjie Army, a considerable part of them were selected from Yue Fei's army, and the lower-level officers were selected from hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops, and the measures of martial bravery, wisdom and talent were all heroes among the people, and many of them also had the experience of studying in the martial arts, under the influence of all the officers and the atmosphere of the entire barracks, this army rarely stopped, and there were few other armies that kind of ruffianism, but only the desire to fight and win. The high military salary and the honor of the world's elite soldiers make these soldiers not only obey military discipline and military regulations, but also have their own inner sense of honor and dignity of soldiers.
In this regard, even Yang Zaixing himself is also deeply proud to be a general in the Shengjie Army, not to mention these ordinary soldiers.
When these crowded soldiers saw that it was an adjutant general coming, they consciously moved out of the way and let Yang Zaixing and his party pass.
Yang Zaixing was happy in his heart, knowing that this was his identity as a victorious army, not because of his identity as a deputy general. If the generals of other armies are changed, in addition to the generals of the backshoeal army, these soldiers can be respected, and the generals of other battalions, even if they are above the general, will not be respected by the soldiers of the Shengjie army from the heart.
Before he got his own account, there were already soldiers who came forward, Yang Zaixing jumped off the horse, asked people to take them to wash and clean, and then fed good concentrate. The war horses in the army are not easy to get, his war horses are good horses, and the horses of the soldiers are all bantam horses, and they run very slowly, and the acceleration is poor, so they can barely walk.
Patting the yellow mud spots on his body clean, Yang Zaixing stepped into the tent. did not remove his armor, on the one hand, he asked his soldiers to go down to give orders, let the sergeants prepare, and on the other hand, let people call their henchmen and commanders, and conveyed Fu Xuan's words one by one in the tent, and then smiled at everyone: "Seeing that there is a battle, everyone has difficulties to talk about it first, and then come back to make trouble when they go into battle." Although I am good friends with you, military discipline will not tolerate it. ”
He thought that everyone would rejoice, but he saw that all of them were grinning with bitter faces.
At the moment, he said: "Why, I only said that my subordinates are all warriors, and when they hear about the battle, they go forward shirtless, why are they all like this?" ”
He was full of displeasure, and said angrily: "If you are all afraid to fight, it is best to leave my camp earlier." ”
When they saw that he was angry, they knew that he was a good temper. Once the anger comes up, no one will buy face. At that moment, they all hurriedly replied: "Where are we afraid, it is really sunny today, and everyone is practicing and coordinating with the car formation." It's just too difficult. ”
"Exactly, the road in the south is good, this Central Plains has been ruined by the golden dog for several years, the road is in disrepair, the last general sent people to sentry to explore dozens of miles, many roads are crooked and muddy, the bridge collapsed, and it has been in disrepair for a long time, and it has rained for a few days, we are responsible for more than 40 large vehicles. In the afternoon, together with the chariot soldiers, they drove the cart out and walked for a while, and it took a lot of effort to return again. ”
"Even if it doesn't rain tomorrow, the road conditions are too bad, and I'm afraid it's too hard to walk."
Yang Zaixing was tired of listening to it, and couldn't help but get up and order: "Don't say it again, go over and take a look." ”
Then he strode out of the tent, and everyone knew that he was irritable and did not dare to say more. He had no choice but to follow behind and head towards the convoy in the battalion.
Since Zhao Huan spent a lot of money and energy to build chariots and use the method of car formation, all more than 2,000 carts were distributed in Yue Fei's army, and Yue Fei distributed all the chariots to Shengjie and Zhenfeng's two infantry armies, more than 1,000 vehicles per army, most of them were assembled for use, and a small amount was distributed to various departments, Yang Zaixing commanded more than 1,000 people, and distributed more than 40 carts.
When he arrived at the convoy, he saw dozens of soldiers running up and down, washing the mud on the body, Yang Zaixing looked coldly, the wheels were full of mud and straw, condensed into lumps, and he didn't know how to pull it back.
The Song people lacked war horses, and there was no shortage of horses pulling carts, and the horses next to the body were also sweating at this time, obviously exerting a lot of strength, and they had not eased up until now.
He hurriedly ordered, let the horses be pulled to wipe the sweat marks, and then feed, although the horse is not as expensive as the war horse, but it is also hard-won, are the blood and sweat of the people, although he himself is a descendant of Yang Gong, the family road has long been defeated, when the implementation of the horse protection law, the family suffered a lot for raising horses, Yang Zaixing is small, but still fresh in memory.
frowned and looked at it for a long time, he also knew that it was no wonder to others, God was in trouble, the road was in disrepair, and he was originally angry, but when he saw the situation in front of him, he couldn't get out.
He stretched out his hand, stroked the cold carriage, and gently tapped the iron sheet, only to feel upset.
When the cart first came these days, no one in the whole army took it seriously, and before the training of the chariot soldiers were proficient, there were many generals who used the cart to tow sundries, but the body was wrapped with iron sheets on both sides, which caused the cart to be too heavy, and it was too laborious to pull and transport items, so that when the chariot first arrived, it also caused a lot of jokes.
After a few months, the chariot soldiers were skillful in their drills, and they could quickly form a formation, covering the crossbowmen and infantry behind the car, and everyone knew the beauty of this cart, and the cavalry rushed wildly, but suddenly encountered such an unnatural barrier on the battlefield, the knife and axe could not be cut, and the crossbow arrows behind the car were like rain, spears and spears were poked, and the cavalry had to be beaten dryly, unable to fight back. In addition, there is also the assault rifle in the body, this weapon is not as good as a crossbow arrow in a long shot, and the lethality is too weak, but in close combat, there is a loud bang, and countless iron filings will fly out, which can beat the enemy on the opposite side covered in blood, even if it is not fatal, it will also teach him to take off a layer of skin.
In this way, at the beginning, the big car became a treasure in the army, and the idea of fighting it up and down, or Yue Fei knew that this cart formation had to cooperate with heavy infantry and crossbowmen to exert the greatest power, and he was bent on distributing it to the two armies of Shengjie and Feng, Yang Zaixing was divided into more than 20 carts, and his heart was originally extremely excited, but at this time, he felt the inconvenience brought by the cart to the marching army.
It was too heavy, and it required a lot of manpower and material resources to make it move forward, and the heavy infantry was already slow to move the ground, and the cart dragged down, even if it could afford the heavy infantry armor, it made its weight heavier and heavier.
In fact, this is also because Zhao Huan is too unusual, and it is redundant to install protection on both sides of the body. Qi Jiguang's car formation is also an ordinary big car, light and fast, usually dragging military supplies, and when it comes to wartime, it quickly forms a formation, as long as it can block the enemy's attack, the car formation is considered to have completed the task. Zhao Huan took it for granted that the car was equipped with a musket, and gunpowder needed to be transported, Yue Fei assigned the cart to the Shengjie army, the heavy infantry armor can not be worn on the body at ordinary times, can only be pulled by the car, although there are also special carts, but the car is less and more people, and the chariot has to be equipped with a lot of armor, so that each car is simply equal to a small tank, in the case of good roads, two-horse-drawn carts, coupled with appropriate manpower, it is considered to be fast, in this kind of road after the rain and disrepair, it is a ghost to move.
Yang Zaixing was in a heavy mood, watching the charioteers clean the chariot again, although it may still be dirty tomorrow, but the love for the chariot made these soldiers not have the slightest idea of being lazy even if they did useless work.
He put away the thought of reprimand, and only said to everyone: "If it doesn't rain tomorrow, everyone will have to get up early and hurry, you have to take care of the chariots, don't work too hard, eat and rest early." ”
The soldiers were not as worried as these officers, and when they heard Yang Zaixing's words, they said happily one by one: "No wonder Xiang Wu let us drive out for drills." That's the best, if you delay here these days, your heart will be moldy. Don't talk about those dog legs, it's the golden dog that is coming, let's let them know that it's amazing. ”
"Well, it's best if you have that in mind." Yang Zaixing praised a few words, put down his thoughts for the time being, saw that the sky was getting dark, let people light torches, and led him to patrol around the camp, until he saw that the soldiers under his command had eaten dinner, placed weapons and items, and rested early, he put his mind at ease, and discussed the details of tomorrow's march with the officers, and then dismissed everyone, and washed hastily, and then blew the lamp to rest.
It's just that when I lay down, I couldn't sleep for a while, and I thought about the small affairs in the army, and I couldn't sleep for a while. He knew that Yue Fei rushed to the front, and ordered the Shengjie army to pull out, but he was afraid that the fighter had been discovered, if it was expected, he was afraid that the two cavalry teams of Back Danger and You Yi were also prepared, and they would rush to the battlefield before the Shengjie army, and the road was so muddy, the cavalry was okay to say, the Shengjie army with the convoy, if it could not be brought to the battlefield quickly, I was afraid that it would bring great trouble to the whole battle situation.
He was thinking about it, but he was just uneasy, and he thought that Yue Fei was full of experience in a hundred battles, and he was afraid that he was more than a hundred times stronger than his little lieutenant general, and what he could think of, Yue Fei could naturally think of it, and he smiled at himself at the moment, and knew that there was not enough time, so he fell asleep.
By the dawn of the next morning, when the morning star was still clearly visible, the entire barracks had already been in a commotion, the sound of bangzi came and went, the men got up earlier, and the ordinary soldiers had just gotten up at this time, and the aroma of food had already spread over the barracks.
Except for Yang Zaixing, the entire Shengjie army of more than 10,000 people all got up, the soldiers were well-trained, and all the movements were extremely proficient, from getting up and dressing, to washing and eating, after half an hour, more than 10,000 troops were ready to stop.
