Act 91 The town of Annan

The ancient town of Annam, is a barren town, in the era of cold weapons, the town of Annam is very famous, many bards come here and can't help but chant a sentence: "This goes to Annam to say goodbye, the rivers and mountains dream of thousands of miles." The tragic poem. In ancient times, Annam was the gateway to the moon and guarded the land south of the moon ink.

Since entering modern times, the powerful force has allowed Yuemo to dominate the southern realm, and there is no longer any distinction between aliens and barbarians. This also led to Annan's position becoming awkward.

In terms of transportation, there are new roads that have replaced the small town of Annam, and economically, it is difficult for Annam to even develop agriculture. Since the abolition of the status of the military town, even the craftsmen who served the army have gradually left. The empty town of Annam is particularly desolate, and the thresholds of many homes in the town have rotted, but there are no rats to repair them.

On the ancient road of Annam, an army of comparable size is marching. Dong Rui, who was walking in the middle, took the map and looked at the surrounding mountains, Annan should not be far away.

The Hana Army led by Dong Rui was on the orders of Zhao Liang and came to Annan to garrison. Annam was forty miles away from the Yuemo camp, and they had been marching for half a day.

The geographical location of Annam is remote, and the ancient road is full of thorns. It's better to pass people, but it's not good to pass these gun trucks and baggage. Therefore, Dong Rui still has to open up a road, which has delayed a lot of time. Looking at the sun, it was already afternoon. Dong Rui wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said to the adjutant beside him: "Inform the whole army, rest your feet and leave." ”

The adjutant's name was Issan, and he was a native of Kotel. He used to work under Luo Fei, and after retreating to the Tammy Basin, he was appointed Dong Rui's adjutant.

Yishan doesn't like to talk, but he gives people a cold momentum.

"Okay." After receiving the order, Yishan turned around and notified the communication company and issued orders to the ministries, and he didn't bother to go to the ministries to notify them. At this time, most of the soldiers were not particularly tired, and if they waited like this, they might not have to wait until it was dark to reach the town of Annan.

"Stop moving! Rested, rested. A communications soldier quickly gave the order.

"General, what are you doing? It was dangerous for us to arrive in the dark. One officer complained.

"Don't worry, the general is free to measure." The officer next to him reassured.

These veterans are particularly sensitive to the battlefield, especially in the dark, and it is very dangerous to enter a town at night.

Dong Rui, who stopped, didn't think about it at all, he casually took out a piece wrapped in oil paper from his arms, carefully took it away, and took two bites. If it weren't for the war, the army strictly forbade alcohol, and it would be free to take a sip at this time.

However, even though Dong Rui is a general, he can't disobey this strict order, after all, that will bring a bad atmosphere to the entire army. Looking at the mountains in the distance, Dong Rui's mood couldn't help but relax, and when he returned to Yuemo, he said that he would not fight anymore. Find a remote place, buy a few acres of fertile land, and go home to retire.

After so many years of riding horses, he from a family felt too much pain of separation. didn't wait for him to die on the battlefield, but many relatives died in his family because of the war. This is what Dong Rui can't stand the most, he, the rat who participated in the war, did not die, but his family died a lot because of the war.

"General Dong, I have to remind you that we have rested for half an hour."

Dong Rui, who was falling into a memory, was interrupted by Yi Shan, he looked up at Yi Shan, and saw that Yi Shan's 10,000-year-old zombie face was staring at him. This feeling made Dong Rui very uncomfortable, he put the uneaten dried meat back into his pocket, tidied up his clothes, and stood up.

"Then let's move on, rest assured, it's dark, we will definitely reach Annan."

Dong Rui said this, as if he wanted to guarantee something, but the marching speed of the Hana Legion was indeed slow, so Dong Rui was no longer sure when they would arrive there. Of course, since Dong Rui is so casual, he naturally doesn't care when he arrives.

The army continues to march, and in this late spring season, rest is not much easier than walking. When the soldiers heard the news, they had to pat their butts and move on.

According to the calculations on the map, it is only ten kilometers away from Annan at this time, but the mountain road is indeed undulating, which indirectly adds a lot of distance.

Along the way, perhaps because of the mountains, it was particularly quiet, and I didn't meet a single family. To the west of Annan Town, there is a lake, the lake is not large, and it is indeed the place where the town of Annan takes water. Whether it's laundry, or cooking, the water is taken from here.

There was no one in the town coming and going, and there was only one rat washing clothes next to the lake. The mighty army came from the west, and the laundry rat stood still, still doing his thing.

Dong Rui had long wanted to find a civilian to ask about the situation here, but there were no villages and towns around. Seeing this civilian, Dong Rui said to Yishan: "Go, call the civilian washing clothes in front of you." ”

Yi Shan took two steps, faded out of Dong Rui's field of vision, and turned to the soldiers beside him: "Go, find two people, and bring the civilian washing clothes in front of you." ”

The two soldiers who had been ordered looked at the lake, which was still some distance away, and their hearts sank. The soldiers were afraid of a calm place, and such a place was most fearful.

However, Yishan's order could not be disobeyed, so he had to carry a gun and go hard. The perimeter of the Hana Legion is also on alert, and if there is a disturbance, it can be dealt with as soon as possible.

The two soldiers came to the lake tremblingly, and it was only then that the rat, who was washing clothes, saw the people beside him.

"Two military masters, what's the matter?"

When the two soldiers saw that they were really washing clothes, they became bolder. Putting away the gun in his hand and straightening up, one of the soldiers rolled his eyes and said, "Let's go, our commander wants to ask you about the oil painting." ”

The civilian, however, did not panic, fished out the clothes in the lake to the shore, wiped his clothes with his two wet hands, stood up, and said, "The little one is just a civilian, and he doesn't know anything." ”

The soldier threatened: "Hmph, if the commander gets angry, your head will have to move." ”

"Okay, good, go and go." As soon as the civilian heard this, he hurriedly said.

Civilians, along with soldiers, then returned to the ranks. The soldier brought the civilians to Dong Rui, gave a military salute and said, "Report to the general, the people have been brought." ”

"Okay, you can step back first." Dong Rui said.

"Yes!" The two soldiers kicked funny steps and disappeared from Dong Rui's sight.

"What's your name?" Dong Rui turned to ask.

"My name is Liu Ahu, and I am a hunter who hunts in the town, and I run a repair shop in the town in the spring when there is no prey." Liu Ahu faced Dong Rui, who was full of people, and his face did not fluctuate at all, and he did not have the slightest intention of sycophancy.

"How do you look like an enemy spy?" Dong Rui said tentatively.

Liu Ahu defended: "If I am a spy, why should I stay alone in a no-man's land. ”

"Who lives in the town now, how many are there, and where does the mayor live?" This is what Dong Rui is most concerned about.

Liu Ahu said calmly: "It's just me, the people in the town have long been moved away from the mountains, and the surrounding towns are now empty. It's just that I grew up and ate by the mountains. While they weren't looking, they sneaked out of the procession. ”

"So, there are no civilians around these mountains?"

"Yes, it is said that this place is likely to become a battlefield, so evacuate in advance so as not to hurt the innocent."

Hearing this, Dong Rui clasped his hands in front of his chest, and his right hand was on his chin to think. There are empty cities all around, what does Tianyu want to do? Is it really to appease civilians from the intrusions of war? Migration has always been a troublesome affair, and if it is not handled well, it will provoke civil unrest, and in general, it is a matter that outweighs the losses.

"Adjutant! You led a thousand soldiers and this Liu Ahu brother to the town of Annan to observe. See if there's anything out of the ordinary. ”

No matter what, Dong Rui still believed in Zhao Liang's strategy, after all, the three camps were not too far apart, and they could support the other two parties at any time. Moreover, there is no need for communication in the three places at all, and a single cannon sound is enough to spread throughout the military camps in the three places, and there is no need to worry about the enemy cutting off the communication.

"You, you, and you, the three of you lead a thousand soldiers to the town of Annan to observe and see if there is anything abnormal." Not long after leaving Dong Rui, Yishan casually sent three officers to complete this matter.

However, seeing that Yishan himself did not go, Dong Rui stepped forward and kicked Yishan on the buttocks.

"You're a slippery kid, aren't you? Hurry over. ”

"Okay." As if missing a tendon, Yishan faced his boss, slapped the dust on his ass unhurriedly, and then turned to lead the three officers to the town.

At this time, the sky had already darkened, but Dong Rui did not order the army to be stationed on the spot, and today they were going to stay in Dao Town, so they would not camp separately.

The soldiers who had nothing to do began to gather together in twos and threes to chat, most of them were soldiers from the old land of Yuemo, and they were still very happy to return to their hometowns this time.

"Oh, that guy is now a company commander! The last time I saw him, I still had a No-2 pinned to my waist, not to mention how imposing. ”

"That's good luck, boy. This time, I must rush to the front, see? The flag in my hand must have been the first to be planted on the enemy's fortress. ”

"Just blow it!"

……

When night fell, there was not the slightest light in the field. It is a taboo in the army to pick up a lantern on the march, and such a light can be called a guide to heaven, and it is easy to attract the enemy's artillery fire.

"Report to the general, there is nothing out of the ordinary, those soldiers I have ordered them to guard the various intersections of the town, and now the army can drive into the town." After tossing for half an hour, Yishan finally returned to Dong Rui's side and reported the situation in the town to Dong Rui.

"Very well, now order the whole army into the town."

Dong Rui, who was sitting on the stone, stood up, clapped his hands, handed the military coat he was wearing to his security officer, and walked towards the town on foot.
