Chapter 272 Marching Night Talk
"I said brother dei~ It's really hard for you..."
It was Wang Ou who said this.
β¦
In other words, the caravan was opened, and all kinds of complicated work of packing boxes made the entire caravan station busy all of a sudden, but it was quieter than the previous banquet.
Everything is still the same old rules.
The precious baggage that cannot be taken away is sealed and buried on the spot; Of course, I can't take the board house away, so I can only put it first, maybe I have to come back to live in the future... Or maybe find time to come back and recycle it later.
The caravan is also not a traditional army in the general sense, there is no such thing as "the army is in front and the baggage is behind" ... The main body of the march of the entire caravan was a four-horse carriage... The car is a four-wheeled board car with two or three sections.
Except for the reconnaissance team, the technical squad, and the chief officer, who rode alone, the entire caravan, whether it was a soldier, a military doctor, or a man, was theoretically responsible for driving the car or fighting.
Only sick numbers and women~
It is the "passenger" who mainly takes the bus.
The current caravan is basically a four-horse-drawn three-section four-wheeled cart, aside from the concept of people riding horses, in addition, there must be a special horse herd and a horse doctor, responsible for taking care of the idle horses that do not pull the cart...
There are nearly 2,500 horses in the entire caravan, most of which are from this month, and the Wuhuan tribe took the initiative to come to the Daliaoshui garrison and exchange them with the caravan.
Although these new horses are not very useful to the caravan, but... It's still okay to carry some odd and bits of materials.
β¦
Everything is ready, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.
The zigzag reconnaissance team is responsible for the path exploration and flank vigilance of the caravan. The convoy of three squadrons kept a distance, and the flashlights of high brightness were all turned on.
After Wang Ou personally fired the white signal flare, nearly 180 groups of vehicles, the entire caravan squadron, set off in turn...
The Pleasant Goat, which was loaded in the special livestock compartment of the board car, also called curiously "bleating".
Gongsun Yuru, known as the "eldest lady", was also naΓ―ve, and fell asleep on the saddle in front of Amber Chaye when he sat down... For her safety, Amber Chaye also deliberately spared Yuru and herself with the reins of a horse.
Since Amberaya's squadron is responsible for the safety of the personnel, Wang Ou, who is the captain of the marching army, naturally also follows the Chinese army, so...
So when Wang Ou and Hushaye walked side by side, Wang Ou looked at Gongsun Yuru lying in Hushaye's arms, and then said the sentence at the beginning of this article, "Brother, you work hard".
Can~
Amber Chaye responded: "Heh~ Coaxing her to sleep is easier than deceiving Lord Shepherd... A can of RIO sparkling wine solves! β
Wang Ou said: "( @Π@)γ"

On the other side, the squadron of Sun Shuhuan, who was in charge of the queen of the palace, put on a posture of four cars alternately parallel. In order to be able to form a car formation at any time and pull hatred for the whole army.
As the queen of the palace, the person in charge is Duan Qi... After Sun Shuhuan supervised everyone from top to bottom, he deliberately ran to Duan Qi's side and walked side by side with him before saying, "Brother Duan, you have relieved the siege for your brothers tonight..."
Duan Qi was not in a hurry to answer, but looked back and shouted first: "The cavalry scattered to reconnoitre, keep a distance of ten zhang... You two don't turn on the flashlight~ There is light in front! β
Seeing that there were no riders around to follow up, Duan Qi responded to Sun Shuhuan: "Alas~ Brother, you don't know... That Widow Lee... Actually, I've had my eye on her for a long time... But after all, our merchant army is the vanguard under God~
After all, they are the food and clothing parents in the hearts of these ten miles and eight towns!
We can't rob a famous woman~ right!
Speaking of which~ Tonight, I also want to thank the man!
You know, the day after I was replenished to the caravan, I was so weak from airsickness and vomiting that I couldn't eat... The people who took care of me were Widow Li and Xiao Erya.
Last month, Widow Lee washed our clothes... Twisted his waist... I asked the husband to open a small stove for her for two days, and gave her my canned food to stew... Later, Widow Li took advantage of the husband's stove to stew me a herring that she had touched in the water...
back and forth, the captain of the gang saw it.
Just tonight, when the captain came to me and told me, I figured it out... Wouldn't I be a gentleman if I didn't agree to this? One is to help the brothers out of the siege, and the other is to find an opportunity to give others a name...
I don't lose inside or out!
Hey..."
At this point, Sun Shuhuan silently listened to Duan Qi's words, lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and handed it to Duan Qi.
β¦
At the same time~
At the end of the procession of the troops in the caravan, several women huddled in the cart, also chattering without sleep. Among these women is Widow Li.
"Sister Qing, I also wronged you tonight, for no reason, I became a military woman..."
"That's it~ I didn't say hello beforehand, and I didn't hire and I didn't have relatives to say peace... Didn't I say you~ Sister Qing, did you know about this before? β
Facing the surroundings, these four or five women who had a good relationship, Sister Qing, that is, Widow Li, didn't know how to answer for a while, and only said: "General Duan is also embarrassed..."
After hearing this, the woman on the side yelled directly: "Embarrassed!? What's so difficult for their soldiers, it's not that they need to rob it... How many of the daughters of our families were not taken captive by the military? β
But I heard Sister Qing say quietly: "My father is also a border army... I'm a man... As soon as he saw Xianbei Nu rushing into the village, he fled by himself... Not even as good as the border army!
What's the difference?
At least General Duan treats me well... I don't dislike that we were defiled by Xianbei slaves... Now my belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day... The general doesn't dislike it, even if he has no name or share... I also recognized...
And this merchant army is not the same as those border armies before!
Don't you also stare at a few military marquis drooling... Let's ~ Don't say anyone! β
After Widow Li Qingshi finished speaking, the widows in the car came and went, frolicking... Until the caravan man who was driving the car turned around and "shhh
β¦
Hurrying under the moon, the march speed of the whole caravan group was relatively slow, and occasionally the vehicles got stuck in the mud, and the whole army had to stop and be on guard...
However, even so, at the time of the birth of the early sun, the caravan as a whole successfully arrived at the "beacon fire" in the northwest of Xiangping.
In the beacon fire, it can also be called the beacon village.
At that time, the Yan Kingdom had a beacon tower here, and the people who fled from the Central Plains later, after settling here, directly called this place the beacon fire.
Nowadays, the beacon tower has long collapsed into ruins, but as a landmark, it can still be clearly identified ~ The caravan is clear up and down, as long as you see this abandoned beacon tower, then, less than fifteen miles to the southeast, is Xiangping County.
Of course, after the caravan entered the beacon fire, looking at the empty collapsed wooden houses and thatched houses, it also showed that there were no living people in the whole village...
More illustrated~
If you go further, you may encounter the "grain conscription team".
Although the caravan is now very disdainful of the combat effectiveness of the grain convoy, the problem is that it is also very annoying if the convoy harasses it every once in a while.
And~
Now in the entire Xiangping territory, how many grain collection teams are there, how many combat units are divided into, and is there any possibility of disguised as disaster victims... These are the questions!
Therefore, when the caravan was stationed in the beacon fire and was on guard, the fifty officers of the whole caravan held a breakfast meeting next to the ruins of the beacon tower.
After everyone gathered, Wang Ou didn't talk nonsense, and said: "Time is pressing!" When I say that I will start the discussion, no one is allowed to talk nonsense!
Learn the lessons of last night...
I know, last night~ It was the time to discuss ideas, and the topic went off track~ This was delayed until the middle of the night... I'm to blame for this... Let's discuss in the future, remember to stick to the direction!
(Suck and slip)
Eh~
Lao Li Tou~
Why are you eating seafood noodles today!?
Didn't I tell you on the way, let's refresh ourselves in the morning, we have to eat Laotan sauerkraut noodles..."
