522. Looking at the peach is more than thirsty
A hundred miles away, on a normal army, will take at least three days.
But the rapid march was carried out day and night, and the three-day journey could be completed in one day and one night.
However, on the other hand, the physical exertion was extremely great, and almost all the soldiers had reached the limit, and the coach Lu Xiong only ordered to rest on the spot for a while, and those soldiers and generals sat on the ground regardless of dust or moisture, constantly making heavy gasping sounds.
They didn't stop along the way, and when they encountered sporadic respite, they naturally wouldn't let it go.
Such a rapid march, not to mention the small soldiers on foot could not bear it, and even some generals with horses could not bear the speed of the march without stopping.
Of course, the child can afford to eat.
The four-wheeled carriage is extremely stable, and the inside is even more unique, completely according to the standard of a small suite, with a special soft collapse, cabinet, and a layer of wool blanket on the ground, and the splicing of the carriage is also covered with wood veneer, plus a very stable structure, it does not feel like it is marching at all.
Lu Xiong glanced at the soldiers who were sitting down nearby to rest, and then came to the car and persuaded: "Your Majesty, if you continue to march in such a hurry, the soldiers are afraid that they will not have the combat strength, even if there is still a distance between the destination Tongguan and Bishui Pass, they must not be too lax, and besides, if it causes dissatisfaction in the hearts of the soldiers and the army mutinies, it is even worse." ”
Zishou slept a little dazed in the car and didn't react, so he didn't make a sound.
Lu Xiong hesitated for a while, but finally said firmly: "Your Majesty, the terrain here is stable, suitable for camping, let's rest here for a day today!"
He was a little anxious in his heart, and after a hurried march, it not only made the soldiers tired, but also exposed the Achilles heel.
Although this large army, which was mainly composed of slaves, had the experience of marching to the ancient city of Kunlun in the past, it had no combat experience, so it can be said that there was no sense of tension or crisis on the battlefield.
It's just that when they are tired from the rapid march, they can sit down at will, and some even throw all the blades in their hands on the ground and take off their helmets.
With such a look, coupled with the exhaustion of the rapid march, can you confront the Xiqi army?
Xiqi may not have had a war for a long time, but the people killed a wave of Qiang people before, and they trained the Qiang people, and they have all seen blood!
The sleepy-eyed Zishou woke up a little, signaled Lu Xiong to get out of the way first, got up and drove out of the car, and shouted to the nearby soldiers: "Everyone, I'm afraid I can't live today, the water is in a hurry, the soldiers in Guanzhong have been killed eighty percent, and the remaining two percent are all injured, if the Bishui Pass is lost, it will inevitably affect the fish pond, no matter what you say today, I have to rush to Tongguan, if you have a grievance, after you get to Tongguan, just vent at me, that is, I want to make amends in front of everyone, and it is okay!"
The words stunned the officers and men of the three armies.
Hurry up the water pass, tell the emergency Nima!
Dou Rong didn't know how stable he was, Nangong Shi couldn't take it either by outwitting or attacking, and even borrowed a bunch of weapons that had been hoarded to defend the city for a long time, and he didn't consume it at all.
Not to mention the damage!
In their opinion, the soldiers of Bishui Pass could only be killed by watching the excitement when the rolling wood and rocks were falling, and they wanted to see how Zhou Jun fell off the wall, but accidentally fell down and died.
Is this called eighty percent?
With the garrison soldiers and horses in the majestic pass, there are less than a thousand people?
Besides, if the military situation is really urgent, whose king will have a big banquet in a row, and after giving the order to officially send troops, he will simply eat, drink, and feast like water, delaying it for several days?
Even if everything is true, if you rush to Tongguan, you can rescue Bishui Pass? Isn't this a joke?
As for reparations ....
Although the soldiers of the three armies had their own ideas, and they didn't care about the nonsense of the other king, they would never dare to let the king make amends.
After being a slave for 20 years, being able to change to the army is already a grace of recreation.
"Your Majesty's words are serious!" a partial general struggled to stand up, his face still had the scars left by the whipping of the lord when he was a child, he propped himself up, and tried to amplify his voice, and said: "Your Majesty's daughter's body, and you are also marching with us, how can we have half a word of complaint? ”
"That's it!"
The soldiers in the vicinity responded one after another.
Hiss....
It seems that these people really don't know how comfortable the four-wheeled carriage is, and there is only a girl who is comfortable here.
Forget it, it's impossible to let them come to the car one by one for sightseeing, right?
Zishou said in a deep voice: "The whole army listens to the order, and after resting for half an hour, continue to hurry!"
This is not yet the limit, and if you march in a hurry for a while, when you reach the limit, and consume all the past kindness, you will have resentment.
"Yes!"
The generals listened and had to march, but they responded in twos and threes.
This scene made Lu Xiong frown again and again, the problem of this army is very big.
Half an hour later, Zi Shou asked Lu Xiong to order another rapid march, and he went back to sleep in the carriage.
Although the generals of the three armies obeyed, they could remove the tired look on their faces, and there was also a faint trace of dissatisfaction.
There was another hurried march, and the son woke up, and was a little bored, so he got out of the car and got on his horse.
His riding skills are still only three-legged cat kung fu, he stumbled when he got on the horse, and almost fell down, but fortunately, Li Lie, who was waiting left and right, was quick with his eyes, stretched out his hand and pulled, and Zi Shou barely turned on the horse.
Some soldiers noticed this scene, and they inevitably felt a burst of emotion in their hearts.
The king is a famous general, whether it is killing through the earthwork or the southern expedition, he has killed countless generals.
But such a king was also under the rapid march, and he almost couldn't get on horseback.
Some of the generals reduced their resentment, after all, the king was also suffering with them.
"Your Majesty, will you drink some water?"
Because it was June and July, the weather was hot, and the horses could not bear the long journey, so they had to slow down from time to time.
Li Lie thought that the king of Zhou almost couldn't get on the horse before, so he hurriedly called someone to bring water to the king of Zhou.
He himself opened the water bag and raised his head to catch it, but it was not as refreshing as he imagined that the water would enter his throat.
It's over, there's no water.
Lu Xiong also rushed at this time and said: "Your Majesty, the rapid march has been a day and a night, and the people who transport supplies can't keep up, and the water that our soldiers carry with them is gone, and they haven't had time to replenish it, and there is no water source nearby. ”
Lu Xiong also had a dry mouth, he didn't drink much water himself, and he had given the water in the water bag to a soldier who was about to faint from thirst.
Zishou rolled his eyes, there was no village in front of him, there was no shop in the back, and he didn't encounter any rivers, coupled with the rapid march and crazy hurry, there would definitely be people among the generals suffering from heat stroke.
"Put away all the soldiers' water bags, and if there is any heat stroke, give them water to drink, and the rest continue on their journey, without rest. ”
Lu Xiong hurriedly persuaded: "The morale of the generals is low, I'm afraid it won't work if it goes on like this, Your Majesty still ordered the army to rest and find a water source!"
Zishou didn't pay much attention to it, even if he was in the court, in the middle of the army, you can persuade me with just one Lu Xiong?
If I don't earn any more mediocrity, you'll freeze to death!
"There is a peach forest dozens of miles ahead, speed up the march!"
Rest? Think about peaches!
Even if there are peaches, they are not allowed to eat them, they are hungry and thirsty!
A hurried march is a hurried march, there is no rest, only advance!
