Chapter 492: Difficult to do
"It's my shortsightedness." Mu Jinyi admitted with a smile: "General Wen, see and laugh." ”
"These are just the experience of the marching escort," General Wen smiled and shook his head: "After all, you are still young, this is the first time you have gone out, and some things are not clear." When you turn eighteen years old and join the army, you will know it when the days are long. ”
"General Wen, what do you think?" Mu Lingyi also asked: "Our brothers have no experience, so we will listen to your command as always, and the people we bring are the same, we will guard wherever you go." ”
Of course, General Wen knew that the two Mu brothers were very cooperative. Along the way, Mu Lingyi and Mu Jinyi, like the Mu family martial artists and nurses they brought, were all under the command and dispatch of General Wen.
Don't look at the two brothers who are not very old, but they already have a bit of military demeanor, and they have a very high enforcement ability. If they disagreed, they usually raised it before or after the military order was issued, as if they were real soldiers, and once General Wen gave the order, the brothers immediately carried it out anyway.
It has been more than ten days along the way, and General Wen certainly knows that the Mu family really abides by the words "military orders are like mountains" as a creed, and the children of the Mu family have lived like real soldiers since they were children.
They are the troops escorting military rations and ordnance, with bright helmets and bright armor, and the military flag of the Golden Lingwei, which should logically have a bit of deterrent effect on the bandits. But perhaps the number of escorted soldiers is too small, which makes people feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of, or there is never a shortage of stupid and bold thieves in this world, General Wen and Mu Lingyi's journey is actually not very peaceful.
They have encountered thieves who sneak in in the middle of the night to steal food, they have also encountered bandits who are not of high level and have few people, but they are very bold, and they have also encountered mature criminal gangs with a clear division of labor and pretending to be weak women.
There were so many accidents on the road, which made General Wen realize the strength of the little general of the Mu family, and also made him rely more and more on these little brothers and the martial masters they brought.
To tell the truth, the guards and guards of the Anguo Mansion brought by the Mu Lingyi brothers are just ordinary standards in Beijing, and they are not even as good as the secret guards that some big families have spent a lot of money to cultivate, but Mu Lingyi, Mu Jinyi, and those martial masters are not ordinary levels.
Although compared with the Jianghu people who are good at swords and hidden weapons, the martial arts level of the Mu family brothers and the martial masters of the Mu family is probably not very outstanding, but their real advantage is on the battlefield. Their horsemanship and long weapons are enough to make them independent generals on the battlefield.
Right! That's right! In the eyes of General Wen, not only the little brothers of the Mu family have the level of being generals, but even the inconspicuous martial masters of the Mu family are also high-level battlefield generals, but for some reason, these generals are willing to give up the opportunity to make contributions on the battlefield and be the child king in the Anguo Mansion.
General Wen couldn't figure out why, but he considered himself lucky. This time he left Beijing to escort him, the number of sergeants he brought was not large, and the road was not so peaceful, there were two brothers of the Mu family and these martial masters, which really made him feel a lot more at ease.
"It's getting dark." General Wen looked at the shadowy Jueyu Mountain at dusk: "It's better to camp at the bottom of the mountain today, and don't go into the mountain overnight." ”
"My subordinates feel the same way." The junior officer who had explored the road before immediately nodded: "The road conditions of Jueyu Mountain are really not good, especially the cliff more than ten miles ahead, it is really not suitable to rush with torches like we normally do." ”
"In this case, let's concentrate the convoy first, park several cars side by side on the side of the road, try to shorten the distance, don't get in the way, and everyone rests in groups." General Wen nodded, and quickly made a decision: "Patrol in three shifts at night, Ling Yi, the masters of your Mu family are also divided into three shifts, you two brothers discuss who will keep watch in the middle of the night, pay attention to the lighting, and be careful in everything." After midnight, I am on duty, and the closer to the early hours of the morning, the more likely it is to have an accident. ”
"I rushed to Heng'an overnight." Master Wu, who spoke before, stood up first: "Let's try to be as fast as possible, and strive to bring the army into the mountain to meet you." ”
"You can't do it yourself." General Wen shook his head: "Bring a few more people in case of accidents." ”
Master Wu nodded, turned his head and found another Mu family martial artist to accompany him, and then picked two clever ones among the Mu family's guards, four people and four horses, and entered the mountain overnight, and soon disappeared into the night.
The rest of the people, according to General Wen's orders, concentrated the convoy as much as possible, stopped close to the roadside, and patrolled in groups.
Every time he camped in the wild, General Wen didn't dare to be careless, although he should be on duty after midnight, but this night, he hardly slept, and kept vigilantly paying attention to the movements around him, for fear that something would happen.
Fortunately, the night of temporary camping was still peaceful, and near dawn, General Wen looked up at the sky, but suddenly found that the sky seemed to be darker than in the middle of the night, and even the few dark stars in the sky could not be seen.
"It seems to be cloudy......" he muttered as he looked at the sky, "I hope it doesn't rain, it's the most troublesome to travel on a rainy day." ”
Afraid of what comes. Before dawn, the rain had already begun to fall, and the soldiers who had been resting on the ground got up one by one, lit the tung oil torches, and went to check the rain cloth covering the car.
Mu Lingyi and Mu Jinyi looked at the sky worriedly, and said to General Wen: "I'm afraid this rain won't stop for a while." ”
The rain could not be stopped for a while, but the escort team could not stop to take shelter from the rain, they could only sneak in the rain as usual, and they could not go far, so they had to send people to insist that the rainproof facilities on the car were not in good condition.
In such weather, the speed is naturally slow, but now is not the time to be in a hurry, General Wen even ordered to slow down and slow down because of poor vision, everything is based on safety.
The rainy day and the already muddy and difficult mountain road brought a lot of trouble to the escort team. After entering the mountain, because the ordnance vehicles were in a separate column, the escort convoy was dragged for a long time, General Wen personally walked in the front to open the road, while the Mu brothers took four martial masters to walk near the last car.
The rest of the sergeants were divided into groups, as before, each guarding a fixed vehicle, and if there was a problem with their own guarding supplies, they would be held responsible.
But even if General Wen had done his best to deploy, he still couldn't hide the fact that the number of people was small, so from the beginning of entering the mountain, everyone cheered up one hundred and twenty points, carefully guarded the car, looked at the road, and walked forward with difficulty on the muddy mountain road.
