Coming out of Jinyang City, you can see that the villages along the way are scattered, showing a state of stars and moons. They rely on Jinyang City, scattered not too far from the city, usually many people in the village are also like the residents of the city, go to Jinyang City to work and catch the market.

Of course, this is also the characteristic of most villages in this period, relying on the county seat, state city and other cities, if you encounter bandits, you can get the government's rapid rescue. At the same time, they can also survive well and obtain a certain percentage of economic benefits.

The army marched north along the official road, and the dust flew all the way, even if it slowed down, it was still extremely fast. At least the speed of the war horse running is still faintly faster than the speed of the infantry running behind, and it is impossible for Lu Bu to let the army completely stagnate and march at a speed like a walk, otherwise before he reaches the Xianbei grassland, he will have to face a shortage of food and grass, and he will be starving.

According to the proportion of dry food carried by a soldier, food and water account for one-third of the weight of an average soldier's body, and this third is only enough to maintain the soldier's consumption for seven or eight days, and it is really a frugal premise. This is an ordinary army, for these 10,000 cavalry, the consumption is even greater, in addition to the soldiers need to eat and drink, more important is the war horses!

For the cavalry, the war horse is a life on a par with their existence, and sometimes the cavalry would rather starve than have to feed their horses. However, war horses are more delicate than people, and once there are any dietary problems, it may affect the health and even life of war horses at any time.

So this time, Lu Bu only asked them to carry three days' worth of dry food and dried meat, and the rest were some hay and beans, so they had to go hungry until they reached the Xianbei Grassland before the fourth day. As for where does the food come from after arriving in the steppe? Naturally, as long as there is a place for Xianbei people, there will be no shortage of cattle and sheep, as long as these Xianbei people are killed, why worry about having no place to eat?

The cavalrymen had horses to help carry the weight, and the soldiers who ran on two legs in the back to keep up with the speed of the cavalry and bear the weight of the heavy loads on their shoulders were forced to do so. At first, they still had the strength to run, but the longer they ran, the more they felt the weight on their shoulders, constantly pouring lead into their feet, and it seemed that every moment they could feel the rising weight and the sluggishness of their bodies.

Xu Zhong and Kou Ziling were also aware of this change, the beads of sweat on their foreheads kept falling, and the underwear under the armor was already soaked. They breathed heavily, the cold wind poured into their throats, and was quickly sucked into their chests greedily, and then the scorching and stinging chest immediately felt a sense of coolness, but before they could stretch and relax, the fire burned again, making their breathing heavy, and even a slight pain.

Running, constantly coordinating the rhythm of the limbs, swallowing, swallowing, Xu Zhong and the others had already felt the tired feeling coming from their limbs, making every swing of their arms extremely difficult, as if every stroke would take the strength of the whole body. Every time the toes lifted, then fell, and stepped on the ground, they were extremely slow, obviously only a second, but they felt that the toes and the ground were as far away as heaven and earth.

Up to now, it has been a habitual force that supports them to move forward, but the body is protesting all the time, only suppressed by the mind, so it continues. It can only continue, and in the long run, once there is any pause, even if it is only a minute, or a few minutes, or even a few big gasps, you can no longer lift your feet. So the soldiers, including the Yellow Turban Lux, and the players of the Double Dragon Club are persevering, gritting their teeth and persevering.

Yun Ting was silent, looking at this scene, he sighed a lot. In this era, soldiers need to carry a weight of dozens of catties when they march normally, so in terms of quality, the soldiers in ancient times were more hard-working than the soldiers in the new century and the Tianyuan era. How much weight do they have in one body? At most, it is guns and ammunition, but the soldiers in ancient times were different, the armor, weapons, and materials on their backs were not small.

In this period, the most reliable and reliable thing to rely on is not the strength of the instrument, but the strength of oneself. Just like Yun Ting, when he first entered the Three Kingdoms to apprentice Wang Yue, he practiced swords again and again, which was to train himself!

Why is there so little soldier source in Gao Shun's trap camp, it is that the physical fitness requirements for each soldier are particularly high, and only the best soldiers can be qualified to trap the camp and be selected into the trap camp. The real trap camp is an army that can complete any task in the mountain plains, including the hills, and because of this, it has another name, the "special forces" of the Three Kingdoms.

Putting aside the superfluous thoughts, the clouds looked into the distance, but they quickly noticed the scenery in the distance. The farther away from Jinyang City, the more likely it is that every extremely distant location, a gathering place will appear. From a distance, it looks like a small town, but it is different from the town that Yunting saw in Jizhou, or other state capitals, this town is firmly enclosed with earthen walls, surrounded by several arrow towers, and there are several figures flashing in it at this moment.

It looked more like a fortress with a military purpose, but Yun Ting knew that this was not a pure fortress, but a dock fort. Liangzhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou, these prefectures close to the Xiongnu and other nomadic peoples, the closer to the border, the more dock forts appear, often many families on the border arrived from a young age, and slowly gathered popularity. In wartime, the family can be gathered, and all the people in the dock fort can defend together, defend their homes, and do ordinary life in their spare time.

At this moment, on the arrow tower, someone struck the golden gong, and a sharp sound could be faintly heard from a long distance. A moment later, more figures suddenly appeared above the earthen wall and in the arrow tower, and they nervously looked at the cavalry that was gradually arriving from a distance. Many of them were bloodless, but they were clutching the weapons in their hands tightly, gritting their teeth, as if they were brewing something.

Lu Bu opened his mouth and simply spit out two words: "Raise the flag." ”
