The three-day vacation of the Joyama recruits is over in a flash, the relaxation time is over, all the recruits are assembled again, and the real test is about to begin.

Although the training in the first month was also very hard, I would not worry about my life after all. But then, everybody is going to go into battle. On the battlefield, there are no eyes for swords and guns, and if you want to survive or even make meritorious contributions, you have to rely on your own ability and luck.

The ten elites selected by Dabi were all awarded the rank of commander, and each of them could lead a hundred soldiers, while the remaining 1,000 or so were assigned to other battalions of the Jozan army. Gai Yuntian and those archers with outstanding archery skills were all incorporated into the bow battalion, and the archers in the barracks were as fragrant as the cavalry.

The soldiers assigned to Cheng Kun were basically from Jinyang County, and Deng Xiaoxian and Hong Chao were under his command. This situation should not be an exception, he observed that most of the soldiers under Fang Han and the others were also from their own county. The reason in this is also very simple, it is easier to build trust between fellow villagers, and for these rookies who have not seen much blood, the cooperation from their comrades-in-arms is far more effective than the martial arts they have just learned.

Cheng Kun was assigned the task of escorting logistics materials this time, which is relatively less dangerous and more time-consuming.

The barracks will load the prepared supplies into trucks and escort them to the front line by the soldiers, while Cheng Kun is responsible for the safety of the road to ensure the successful arrival of the supplies. Of course, the army in charge of escorting cannot be limited to that. In addition to a hundred of his recruits, fifty horsemen went with him.

Moreover, Cheng Kun is only responsible for escorting a part of the materials, in order to deal with the looting of the Xiongnu side, the Dingshan army will now be reduced to zero when escorting materials. This kind of work, even if a few roads of materials are robbed, it will not hinder the overall situation.

The leader of the cavalry team that traveled with Cheng Kun was named Zheng Lei, who was a gentle and smiling person. In less than half a day, the two were already familiar with each other. Cheng Kun had the heart to ask this senior for advice, so he asked him: "Brother Zheng, are you familiar with the road we are going to take?"

Zheng Lei led the horse, glanced at Cheng Kun with a smile, and said a little proudly: "Familiar, how can it not be familiar." Brother Cheng, let me tell you, I won't make a mistake when I walk over with my eyes closed. ”

"Oh, can Brother Zheng tell me about what needs to be paid attention to along the way. To tell you the truth, this is the first time that the younger brother has received a task, and he doesn't know anything, and he feels a little empty. ”

Zheng Lei laughed when he heard this, he saw that Cheng Kun was sincerely asking for advice, and he didn't hide it: "It's okay, then I'll tell Brother Cheng about it." ”

"There are generally only two kinds of materials escorted by the army, ordnance and grain and grass. Ordnance was transported faster, and there were more troops on board. This time, we are escorting grain and grass. Starting from Dai County, it is finally sent to the Blood Gate Pass outside Xinfeng County, Jinyang County, and it takes almost eight days on the way. ”

"The first half of the road is fine, it is an official road, it is very easy to walk, and there are generally no accidents. The second half of the road is more difficult to walk, especially the section of the road near Jinyang County, the terrain is undulating, far away from the city, when the two armies are fighting, there are often small groups of Hun cavalry flowing over. If someone wants to steal food and grass, this is the best place to do it. ”

"Jinyang County?" Cheng Kun paused, a little surprised. I didn't expect the destination of this trip to be my hometown. He didn't believe it was a coincidence, and it was probably deliberately chosen by the people in charge of assigning tasks in the army who saw where he came from. I just don't know if I will have the opportunity to go back to Xinfeng County to take a look at the master and them after completing the task.

"Brother Cheng is from Jinyang County, right?" Zheng Lei's heart was very careful, and he guessed from Cheng Kun's subtle changes in demeanor.

"Yes, the younger brother is from Xinfeng County, Jinyang County. These brothers under my command are also from Jinyang County. Cheng Kun admitted it very simply.

"That's good, after this mission is over, my brother should do his best to be a landlord, and invite my brother and me to have a drink." ”

Cheng Kun smiled loudly: "Of course, I will not disappoint Brother Zheng." ”

............

For the next five days, everything was peaceful. Cheng Kun and Zheng Lei and a group of people rushed every day when the sun was not so poisonous, and stopped to rest at nine or ten o'clock in the morning and three or four o'clock in the afternoon. This is mainly to take care of those who serve in the cart.

At this time, cattle and horses were very precious, so they could only use people to push carts full of grain and grass, which was quite hard and slow at the end of the day.

Cheng Kun is not in a hurry, there is no shortage of grain and grass on the front line, and the batch he escorted is only a backup, so as long as it is delivered within the specified time limit.

It's just that one thing is very strange, along the way, Cheng Kun has seen many local armies in various counties dispatching in a big way, and some people from the rivers and lakes have also appeared frequently, as if they are looking for someone. When the county guard issued the order to hunt and kill Dai Yue'er, Cheng Kun was already on the road. So he didn't know that the true identity of Dai Yue'er, who was quite jealous in his heart, was the holy daughter of the Huns, and he was also chased by the Great Chu army and the Jianghu people.

From the sixth day onwards, the group left the wide, flat official road, and the speed slowed down. On the eighth day, when he entered the territory of Jinyang County, the road became more difficult to walk.

The largest Broken Dragon Mountain Range in Great Chu is in Jinyang County, while there are many hills in other places. It is this kind of bumpy path that Cheng Kun and his party are going to take. Although this road is not as easy to walk as the official road, it can save a lot of time, and if you take the official road, you have to pass through the counties along the way, and the detour is very long.

Cheng Kun had no way to change the delivery route, so he could only cheer up and be careful at all times. Zheng Lei no longer laughed with Cheng Kun, his expression was much more serious, his eyes were staring at the surrounding environment, paying attention to every terrain where there might be an ambush.

On this day, everyone walked less than 200 miles, which was much slower than the previous days. And when you are nervous, you are more likely to get tired. When the night rests, many people are complaining that they don't want to stand up again when they sit down.

Most of the people who complained were Cheng Kun's subordinates, and their first action was no better than those veterans under Zheng Lei, who had too little experience and some of them used too much force. I didn't feel it during the day, but when I was relieved at night, I immediately felt my whole body aching and tired to death.

Cheng Kun looked at the sad faces of these people, and was a little helpless, if he didn't rest well tonight, it was estimated that he would be in a worse state tomorrow. For this primitive way of escorting, Cheng Kun is also the first time to experience. It is indeed very hard, his physique is far beyond ordinary people, and he still feels a little tired, and he doesn't blame his subordinates for performing so badly.

It would be nice if there was hot water to soak everyone's feet at this time, hot water foot soaking is the best way to relieve fatigue on a long-distance march, but it is a pity that there is no condition to boil hot water in this wilderness.

This can't work, Cheng Kun thought about it, walked to his team, and gently slapped everyone's shoulder, and the true qi in his body quickly swam through the other party's meridians. The person who was photographed only felt as if his whole body was soaking in a hot spring, and the soreness and fatigue quickly dissipated, and he suddenly felt very comfortable.

After Cheng Kun walked around, his face was a little pale. True Qi is lost in other people's bodies, and Cheng Kun injected True Qi into a hundred people in one go, almost exhausting himself to death. After doing it, Cheng Kun had a feeling of being evacuated, and only a little bit of true qi was left in the dantian. He doesn't have to sleep tonight, and all his time is spent meditating and exercising, hoping that tomorrow morning his strength will be restored.

A group of recruits looked at Cheng Kun's tired eyes and were very moved. They all knew that it was because of themselves, and along the way, they had already seen Cheng Kun's perverted physical strength, and the two hundred miles during the day were nothing to him.

Zheng Lei also saw Cheng Kun's behavior just now. He frowned, surprised by Cheng Kun's move. Before leaving for this mission, he had inquired with others and knew that Cheng Kun was the first place in this year's recruit competition, and his skills were quite good. That's why along the way, he will have such a good attitude towards Cheng Kun. In the Joyama Army, nothing else is useful, and the greater the ability, the more respect you can get from others.

But he didn't expect Cheng Kun to be willing to use the true qi he had worked so hard to cultivate to relieve his subordinates, which was just a joke. Before becoming a grandmaster, it was very troublesome for a martial artist to recover his true qi, and every time he ran out, he had to meditate for a long time to replenish it. But these two days are the critical time, in case an enemy appears tomorrow, I don't know how much more skills Cheng Kun can use.

He was secretly angry in his heart, but the true qi that others had cultivated by himself could be used as he wanted, and he had no right to interfere, so he could only sit back and watch. But he still gave Cheng Kun a comment in his heart that "there is no distinction between the importance and the serious", and his impression was greatly reduced.

Zheng Lei didn't know that Cheng Kun's situation was a bit special, and his true qi recovery speed was much faster than others. After Cheng Kun broke through to the dark energy, he opened up many small veins on his body, and most of these veins would have a small amount of true qi remaining.

On weekdays, this part of the true qi will not participate in the operation of the exercises, but will only be integrated into Cheng Kun's muscles, bones, skin and flesh little by little, and enhance his physique over time. Once his dantian is empty, these scattered true qi will converge into the dantian under the action of pressure, and with this part of the true qi as a foundation, if you want to recover, the speed will be much faster.

After the night, the crowd continued on their way.

Cheng Kun, who had meditated all night, was resurrected with full blood, his face returned to normal, and the whole person was in good spirits. The other party didn't care about it, but he underestimated him.

After a night's rest, Cheng Kun's men also recovered. They all realized that they were too nervous yesterday, so they all looked at Zheng Lei and his men today, and when the other party slowed down and observed the surroundings, they also learned. That way, you don't have to tense your nerves all the time.

A morning passed, and everything was still calm. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and by this time tomorrow, they would basically be able to reach their destination.

During a short break, Zheng Lei quietly found Cheng Kun. He said with a serious expression: "In the afternoon, we will walk to 'Giethoorn Ridge', where the terrain is steep, overgrown with vegetation, and the terrain is narrow, and our team cannot spread out at the same time. This kind of terrain can be described as a "dangerous terrain", and we should also be cautious when passing by. Alas, I don't know if it's my delusion, I always feel that something is wrong, and I hope there will be no accidents. ”

Cheng Kun naturally has no objection, Zheng Lei has already traveled this road many times, and of course his judgment should be taken seriously. It's certainly right to be cautious, and even if the accident doesn't happen by then, you have nothing to lose.
