Chapter XIX Work

The rebuilding of the camp was not difficult, and after a whole day of events, the camp that had been ravaged by the war was almost restored. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Of course, this only refers to the camps of the regular army and the elites, as the lowest cannon fodder, Zhang Ang's living environment has become very miserable.

The most important thing is the tent, this night attack, those French cavalry burned as soon as they saw the tent, and even the killing was put after the fire, so the vast majority of the tents in the entire camp were burned down, and even part of the grain and grass were affected.

Zhang Ang and they were no exception, the situation was urgent, there was no time to put away the tent, and they couldn't put away the tent with the ring bar in public, so they had no choice but to watch the French heavy cavalry and burn them to the ground.

The elite and regular army of the empire are okay, and they can still find some spare ones to squeeze out and barely use them, but like the cannon fodder of these serfs who finally survived, they can only be so overwhelming.

Sitting on the ground of the camp that had just been cleaned up, looking at the darker and deeper clouds in the sky, Zhang Ang sighed leisurely: "Alas, it is really a blessing, and the disaster is not a one-way street, at this time, it is especially raining." ”

Sure enough, before he could sigh for long, the dark clouds gathered, the sky fell, and the pouring rain poured down!

Dry!

didn't have time to think too much, so Zhang Ang stood up and began to organize everyone to shelter from the rain with Adolf.

Fortunately, there was a lack of everything in the camp, all kinds of logs, a lot of wood, after taking everyone to be busy, I barely built some wooden sheds, dozens of people crowded into a wooden shed, and it was difficult to endure in this rainy night.

Looking at the other serfs who were helpless in the rain, looked at their wooden sheds with envy, and did not dare to step forward, Zhang Ang sighed again, and took some people to help them build some sheds to save them from the rain and cold.

hugged each other, trembling, after all, they stayed up until dawn, but the rain did not end, and it was still sparse and non-stop.

Just as he was leading people to light a fire in this shed that was ventilated on all sides and leaking rain everywhere, a group of armored knights on horses ran over.

"How many of you, are you leaders still there?" asked the leading knight, holding his head high, haughty.

As the nominal leader, "Viscount Anthony" greeted him: "This lord, I don't know what's going on, we haven't even eaten on this rainy day." ”

"You're the leader here?" Looking at the slightly delicate armor on the big fat man's body, the leading knight: "How many people are under you?"

"Report to adults, there are 800 people. The big fat man reported.

"800 people, that's about the same, give you half an hour to eat! After eating, follow me on a mission!" The leading knight's order was decisive and resolute.

The big fat man hurriedly asked, "Mission, my lord, I don't know ......?"

"What a lot of nonsense!I feel like eating!I'm waiting to come here!" said the leading knight, and the leading knight slapped his horse and led his men down to another place.

There is no way, this group of knights, regardless of the equipment on their bodies or their resolute style, looks like an elite unit, and their orders are not something that the lowest serf soldiers can disobey.

After hurriedly leading everyone to eat and gathering the team, the group of knights on the other side also came to everyone with a group of ragged serfs.

"My lord, I don't know what the task is on this rainy day?" the big fat man asked as he stepped forward.

"Don't talk nonsense!Follow me!" the leader yelled, impatient, 1 touching a handful of water on his head.

It seemed that they could not ask for news, so the group had to follow the group of knights, and walked towards the outside of the camp with hundreds of other serfs.

In a short time they were on the banks of the Rhine.

Do you want to take advantage of the heavy rain to cross the river? No, probably not, the other troops in the camp did not move.

The procession did not stop, nor did it take the main road along the river, but went into the forest and headed up the Rhine.

It was not easy to march in the rain, especially in the forest, but the cavalry did not take them along the side road, but on the path, stepping on the soil containing water, and trekked with difficulty.

Is it for the sake of secrecy? By blocking the trees so that the other side can't see us?

The cavalry didn't say anything, just led them all the way east.

After walking through one heavily guarded tent after another on the banks of the river, they walked for most of the day before they were taken out of the forest and into a clearing.

The clearing, next to the river, was covered with several tents, and dozens of soldiers were patrolling back and forth, watchful of the other side.

With everyone gathered in the camp, the knight leader stepped forward and said to a sturdy middle-aged man wearing heavy armor: "Report to the general, people have brought here, there are 1,500 people! ”

The sturdy general didn't say much, just waved his hand and waved the knight away.

He looked to the side, and it was an old man dressed in civilian clothes: "Are you sure it's here? The river here is not narrow!, and the current looks very fast." ”

The old man said respectfully: "Report to the general, this is already the best place in this hundred miles, the width is a little wider, the water flow here is much slower than other places, and this is also the shallowest place in the whole section of the river, except for the Eagle's Beak Gorge and the Wandering Bend, this is already the best crossing point we can find." And the Eagle's Beak Gorge and the Wandering Bend are so obvious, the enemy also knows that if they want to sneak across the river, this is the only place!"

After a while, the heavily armored general gave the order: "Then let's start work." ”

At the sound of an order, the entire camp was busy, and then the rain continued, and several martial arts powerhouses who were obviously masters crossed to the opposite bank and began to reconnoiter the surroundings to prevent the actions here from being discovered.

Other soldiers began to hide the camp, decorating the surroundings with branches and leaves to prevent them from being exposed.

And the workers are naturally Zhang Ang's serfs. Their main job is to move stones!

Bring stones from the mountains not far from the forest, secretly pile them into the river, make the foundations, lay planks, and build a secret bridge that is half-hidden under the water!

This work is very hard, not only is it very tiring to move stones to make wooden planks, but also requires great care, the French Revolutionary Army on the opposite side also has a patrol, once a patrolling cavalry team passes, the martial arts masters on the other side will send a signal, everyone will immediately stop the flag, and hide themselves by the trees and rain.

Fortunately, this heavy rain blocked the view, so it barely supported everyone to not be discovered.

The heavy rain continued, and the work in the rain was very hard, and the serfs were divided into two teams, one to rest and the other to work, and little by little pushed the secret pontoon bridge towards the opposite bank.
