Chapter 187: March
There are soldiers guarding outside the barracks, and in the barracks, from time to time, there are roving soldiers walking around with torches. Shuttling back and forth between the various tents, and returning to the tents, Jiang Jiujiu simply freshened up and went to bed.
……
Car dealership, Ma Xiaoxiao......
The rest of my life is a day and night journey. During the day, he rode on a horse, and at night he simply set up a tent, slept with his clothes closed, and set off again when the sky was light. Because the war is imminent, the Canglan Kingdom may attack Luocheng at any time, so these soldiers must converge with the large army as quickly as possible, and rush to Luocheng to garrison at the fastest speed.
And every time Jiang Jiu goes to a town, Jiang Jiu will go to treat people somewhere, as Jiang Jiu Jiu treats more diseases, her medical skills have also improved a lot, and her reputation for inviting Yue Gongzi has also grown. During the treatment period in September, Ouyang Lie and the others seized the time to replenish grain, grass, and medicinal materials, and the weather gradually became colder, and the army bought some quilts.
After another time, the march was 500 miles......
It was already winter, and the cold morning was shrouded in a thick fog, and everything in the wilderness had turned into a blur of shadows, and all that could be seen was a white with very little visibility.
In the thick fog there was a listless army marching slowly, and from a distance it looked like a half-dead eel wriggling and struggling in the white, muddy waters.
It snowed heavily all night last night, and it seemed to have turned into a world of ice and snow overnight, and it was a white scene as far as the eye could see.
The snow on the road is very thick, and it is really not a wise move to march in the wind and snow, but if you don't continue to march, then you will be trapped in this place, I don't know when this heavy snow will stop, and the relationship between wind and snow resistance makes the march speed obviously slower than before.
The cavalry is better, they are on horses, the infantry is bitter, the black cotton boots issued by the barracks, stepping on the snow, do not feel anything for a while, after a long time, they feel that the soles of their feet are cold, and even many soldiers living in the south have seen snow for the first time since they were born, so they have been looking at the snowflakes in the sky, and they have snow blindness.
Marching for four hours a day means traveling for eight hours, not only because of the cold weather, but also because of the fatigue, and many people fall ill because of the lack of adaptation to the water and soil.
"General, it's not a way to go on like this! Many people in the barracks were sick, which greatly hindered the speed of the march...... "A major general walked into the camp tent and looked at the general sitting at the table, looking at the map.
"Hmmm! It's a wilderness place, and there's not much to shelter from. It snowed again last night, and now the snow is not light. We have to get out of this wilderness quickly. Ouyang Lie looked at the map on the table, didn't raise his head to respond, and used his hands to search for it on the map from time to time.
"Has the general come up with a countermeasure? At our current marching pace, it would take us a few days to get out of this place as quickly as possible, but some things can't wait that long. Another lieutenant general looked at Ouyang Lie and said anxiously.
"What is the situation in the barracks now? I don't know, but you have any good countermeasures. Ouyang Lie raised his head and glanced around everyone present.
"Now the situation is not very good, almost half of the people in the barracks are sick. And we are now close to the next target town, and at the current pace of marching, it will take seven or eight days to reach it. A lot of sick people in the army can't afford to wait......"
……
A soldier standing outside the camp tent walked in, knelt down on one knee and said to Ouyang Lie, "General, Jiang Jiugongzi asks to see!" ”
"Let him in."
"Yes!"
"See General." Jiang Jiujiu saluted Ouyang Lie.
"You're polite to Invite the Moon Divine Doctor, I don't know what is going on with the Inviting Moon Divine Doctor?" Ouyang Lie looked at Jiang Jiujiu and asked.
As Jiang Yue treated more people, and he came up with some ideas from time to time, many people in the army admired him more, and Ouyang Lie was also very polite to her, which sometimes made Jiang Jiu more embarrassed. "Old General Ouyang, you should just call me Jiang Jiu or Jiang Jiu Gongzi, you don't have to be so outside."
"Hey, that's good, the main thing is that those miracle doctors used to have a bit of a weird temper, and when they saw the miracle doctors, they were polite and used to it. Get used to it. Hahaha......" Ouyang Lie said with a smile.
"......" Jiang Jiumo.
"I don't know, Jiang Jiugongzi, what are you going to say when you come?" Ouyang Lie asked straight to the point.
"General, I feel that a huge procession is slowly moving forward on the wasteland, and in this endless, snow-white wasteland, it looks as conspicuous as lice on a bald man's head.
But at this time, there are basically no people in the wasteland, the winter wasteland is terrible, cold wind, torrential rain, wolves, these will become the most terrible things in the winter wasteland, so we must get out of this wasteland as soon as possible, otherwise no one knows what we will encounter in a second. Jiang Jiujiu looked at the people sitting and said solemnly.
