Chapter 264: It's Too Late to See the Dog (39)
Over the years, Gao has been following her husband, and gradually got used to the life of fighting everywhere, she can now ride a fierce horse, also march with her husband, and also follow her nephew Hong's learned to shoot a bow and arrows. When marching, she always used a red silk war belt to tie her waist, and although she could not use a strong bow like her nephew, she used a horn bow on her back and hung a sword that her nephew had given her in case of emergency.
Unlike the Hong, she did not practice martial arts well when she was young. Of course, she was not needed to charge into battle herself, but she seldom left the sword in times of emergency, and as a woman who was the leader of the anti-thieves, she was not only ready to use it to kill, but also ready to use it to determine herself as a last resort, so as not to fall into the hands of the enemy.
As a woman, she told me how difficult it was to break out of the camp today, so she asked her daughter Lanzhi to ride on a big horse with her, and asked someone to find a white silk and tie the child to her chest, just like Li Chixin's Nosheran nursery bag, so as not to let the mother and daughter be scattered in the thousands of troops.
This night, the wind and snow are not in a hurry, and occasionally there are some broken silver stars scattered in the world. Although since the withdrawal from northern Sichuan in the early winter, the army has traveled thousands of miles and fought uninterruptedly with the official army and local armed forces, and the original eight teams of men and horses have been injured six or seven out of ten, and there is still a shortage of clothing, armor and food, but a month ago, the Huben battalion successively won a part of the supplies of Cao Bianjiao and He Renlong, although these supplies could not meet the replenishment of all the troops, but people's morale was boosted.
Behind him, there is a tiger battalion with nearly 10,000 miscellaneous troops to resist temporarily, Li Zicheng personally led this more than 10,000 descendants of the strong men and horses, but it seems that the troops are neat, morale is very strong, the generals have Li Zicheng let the tiger camp break, this kind of close to the righteous extermination of relatives after the pay, everyone has maintained a high fighting spirit in their hearts.
Luo Hu, the leader of the Boy Scout Camp or called the Children's Army, rode his horse in the middle of such troops, and his naïve heart was full of infinite reverence for the heroic martyrs of the Tiger Battalion, and he encouraged his Boy Scouts to take those heroic models of the Tiger Camp who sacrificed themselves to save me as the driving force, carry forward the fearless spirit of fighting the heavens and the earth, and fight to the death with the officers and soldiers who dared to stand in the way.
He looked at the boy camp behind him, the children's childish faces were resolute, and he also hoped in his heart that he could defeat the adults at a super level in the bloody battle that took place today, so that he would have the opportunity to take revenge, let his parents be comforted in the spirit of heaven, and let them know that they were no longer children who could not do without the protection of others.
The camel guide rode on a sturdy blue-gray mule, he wore an old felt hat of the same standard as Li Zicheng handed down from his ancestors, and wore an old blue cloth cotton robe that Li Zicheng had given him last night.
In the small cloth pocket hanging from the belt behind the back, instead of grenades for anti-infantry, two persimmon noodle nests were tucked. To the left of the belt is a sharp scythe, and behind his back is a plate axe for chopping wood. On the back of the large mule he rode carried a five-foot-long oak stick.
Against the backdrop of the starlight, it can be seen that this is a polished stick, and there are obvious traces of time. The camel had broken into the army to spare the mules and horses for the rich man's house when he was young, so he was no layman at all in riding on the mule tonight. He has lived most of his life in the white eyes and crotch of a large family, and his status and living standard are not as good as even people's pet pigs and dogs; it was not until tonight that he rode a big mule for the first time on his toes, and when he walked in front of the general Yuan Zongdi, the camel's brows began to stretch, and he found that people lived interestingly, listening to the sound of the marching army behind him, and feeling the affection of Yuan Jiang Ye and the brothers to him, he felt that he was living like a person for the first time.
Yuan Zongdi originally heard that this camel was a wilted man who couldn't kick a fart with three legs, so he urged the brigade to follow the camel who led the way, and didn't talk to him much. As he walked, suddenly the sound of a donkey whining came from across the hill, and Yuan Zongdi patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Fellow, what is the place on the other side of the mountain?"
From the fact that he called the donkey long neck, it can also be found that the camel is obviously mixed with society, "Where are you asking about the long neck?" The hunchback turned his head, and although the words were a little slow, he did not stutter.
"Yes, what is that place?" There is no such scourge of 'a tiger' in the army, Yuan Zongdi, as a pioneer officer, of course has to open roads and build bridges in the mountains, at this time, the officers and soldiers do not have maps in their hands, not to mention that he is a big leader among the rogues, he only wants to know where he is now, so as not to be blackened when he fights.
"That's Chenjiagouzi, and someone got up to pull the donkey on the fifth watch. "The camel who has mixed with the society is naturally clear about the village here, and he answers casually without thinking.
"Is there a village brave?" Yuan Zongdi knew that the brigade was marching, and it could not be without a sound, but in his heart, he didn't want to be discovered by the officials and soldiers so early.
"Not much, it's a lot further north from here. The camel slowly replied to Yuan Zongdi's question
After listening to it and finding that there was no sound of the army gathering, Yuan Zongdi was relieved, and he asked with a smile: "Fellow, what are you doing with a mule to lead the way and a stick?"
The mention of war made the taciturn camel grin, and he carried a heavy oak stick and said, "I have never fought before." This is a flower oak stick, heavy and strong, if you fight with the officers and soldiers, I ...... I don't know all eighteen kinds of martial arts, and I can't use a stick to pick his son of a bitch!"
"Okay! Just use the oak stick in your hand to smash the officials and soldiers who are in the way!" Yuan Zongdi exclaimed very cooperatively, he began to take an interest in this seemingly honest villager, and emotionally regarded the camel as his own.
"Uncle, don't leave behind me when you are fighting, lest you suffer their losses. "Brother Yuan told the camel not to be strong, and it is important to save his life.
"Master general, don't worry, I can't afford to lose. The camel replied arrogantly, causing the hunchback's back to straighten.
"Can't afford to lose?" "Brother Yuan Zongdi is a master of martial arts, he knows that there are no eyes on the battlefield, even if a general like him has to wear armor, otherwise it will be difficult to be thorough.
"Yes, killing one of them is enough for me, killing two and I will earn one, what do I lose? I am not ambiguous!" A person like a camel is really not as good as a feng shui fish in a big family in such a world.
"Oh, uncle, I didn't see you as a tough guy. Yuan Zongdi said that if he hadn't been secretly marching, he would really have been amused by the camel and laughed out loud, he had seen a lot of cowardices, and those who dared to exchange their lives for their lives were rare in such troubled times.
