march
In the entire Guards, 20,000 people wanted to rush up and kiss the king's fingers. The sound was as loud as fish waiting to be fed in the pond, trying to open their mouths and fins flutter.
Everyone was in a madness.
The king pressed down on the crowd with his hands, starting from the middle, spreading quietly until the entire army was silent.
Then the king began to speak.
Taihe's rifle platoon could not hear what the king was saying because of the distance. There were many soldiers in such a situation. Even so, many people could understand that spirit from the bottom of their hearts.
This spirit can be summarized in one sentence.
The glory of your majesty's loving brilliance leads us to victory.
Xiang Du's tinnitus lasted for fifteen minutes. After fifteen minutes, the whole army began to applaud, and he also applauded, and then the king left.
After the king left, he heard the soldiers crying when they heard the content of the speech, and encouraged them and cheered them up.
Taihe's platoon didn't know what was going on. He waited in place for a short while, and then they followed the large army to leave the camp.
The recruits inexplicably embarked on the journey.
The vanguard of the Guards ed to the city gate and formed a T-shaped body with a funeral team. The central part of the funeral team was attacked by the vanguard of the Guards, and the two sides were stuck at the city gate.
The funeral procession was very long, composed of messengers, maids and believers, and the guards stopped for half an hour.
The big bell at the top of the church rang again and again, and the white doves circled in the sky.
Xiang Du was waiting bored with his bags and weapons on his back. When the funeral team completely left and the troops set off again, he learned that the most respected person in the church had passed away.
Then he thought, if Ke Yi heard this news, he would be very sad.
When he was fascinated by this and came to his senses, he found that he had followed the army for several miles.
Before going to the battle, everyone was full of confidence, and on the way to the battle, they were bitter and confused.
They ed in fertile fields, rested in the dense forest, ing in a hurry during the day, and fell asleep at night.
Every day, everyone is sweating profusely, and people and horses are emitting increasingly unpleasant scents.
Horses occasionally stop and re-shoulder horseshoes, but they are difficult to get replaced even if they are abandoned.
At first, there will be conversations from others in people's ears, and words will be spit out in their mouths. The later, the sound of metal collision and the officer's orders have the upper hand. No one is willing to speak more. The has become a boring thing that everyone wants to escape.
On the spacious road, you can line up five to ten people, and on the small road, there are only two people in a row.
The officers rode their horses and ran around the team. The people in the war zone walked opposite to the troops.
Occasionally, you can see aristocrats. The symbol of the nobles is that they own a carriage. The carriage is full of belongings, and the whole family is on the carriage except the house.
Xiang Du always didn't understand. The officers were like injecting chicken blood, and they didn't know what was attracting them in front of them.
In his eyes, the most common one was an officer commanding several soldiers to repair the damaged noble carriages on the roadside.
Whenever the carriage was ready to go on the road, the servants of the noble family would hurry up and load the car, while the young lady would express her gratitude to the officer.
A big bird always flies over the army and circles. Xiang Du often sees this bird, and the others in the platoon give the bird a name, called the God of Plague.
In fact, in addition to birds, there is also a dog that is not visible to ordinary people, and only the soldiers at the end can see it, because the dog has been following since the king.
There are three days left before the reservation, and the sun slowly left a little red. With the expectation of the soldiers, the sun finally set and the whole army rested.
The living conditions of the soldiers during the were not as good as those of the camp. There were residences on both sides of the road. The soldiers threw their backpacks on the side of the road, and people used their upper bodies to rest on the backpacks.
Xiang Du noticed a kind of person. After the distance they walk reaches a certain level, the ankles and calves will rub painfully, like the mechanical structure lacks oil.
Fortunately, he doesn't have such a problem.
The artist and the short man worked together, one climbed onto the tree to pick wild fruits, and the other waited under the tree, steadily catching the thrown fruits in his military uniform.
I distributed it to the soldiers in the platoon, and every bite is sweet and astringent, and I still enjoy eating it.
The smoke from cooking stoves rose, and before dinner, the soldiers quickly relaxed their tight leg muscles.
The artist picked enough fruit and jumped back to the ground a few times. He was somewhat impressed by the last station where he happened to be near a city and could draw a few people to purchase. Although the price was higher than that of the kings, those who served in the army were least afraid of spending money.
Baishitong distributed alcohol and cigarettes to his brothers. Although there were regulations prohibiting drinking, no one listened to it.
After the distribution was completed, he said as usual: "The injured and sick have poor legs and feet, and the medical team is right behind."
People have been tired for a day and don’t want to move when they lie down. It is worth noting that their platoon leader has the habit of writing diaries. The recruits in the platoon will always notice that the platoon leader took out a notebook and wrote quickly.
Every time we , we look forward to the sunset and rest. Every time we are wet and cold at night, we look forward to the sun rising early.
The good news is that there are only three days left, and when you arrive at your destination, you can set up a camp.
But ideals are always full, and reality is often far from ideals.
They finally arrived at the scheduled location, the sun was still in mid-air, and it was clear.
I thought the station was there, but there was no tent.
They saw several carriages with hoes and shovels.
"The pits we dug in the training ground, and those pits were buried later." Taihe stood in front of the recruits with a shovel, "But the good news is here, we can make up for this regret today. Here, we dig the pit again. Soldiers, act and dig."
Several soldiers carrying tools threw the excavation tools on the carriage to the ground casually, and then drove the carriage to the side.
Taihe used a shovel to draw traces on the soft soil.
"Start here, then keep walking and walking here, and then fold it like this, walk and fold it again..."
The recruits have been digging simple fortifications like trenches for several weeks. Every time they dig, the human arm has to bear a considerable load, which is a chore.
Taihe finished drawing the line and threw the shovel on the ground.
"Pick up your handy tool and let us do it before dark. Pay attention to the depth of four meters."
After saying that, he walked away.
The recruits were mournful and picked up tools everywhere and started digging.
Starting from the top layer, from shoveling soil to scattering, the shape of the trench is showing.
Everyone is working hard, and occasionally those who are lazy will be caught out and criticized on the spot.
Yu Lian's knees were very uncomfortable. Since he had never stayed in the wilderness for several consecutive days, his joints became slow. The knee joints were the most prominent place, and the sound of bones could be heard when he was moving violently.
"Mr. Yu, you'd better take a break." Dazhuang digs the soil one after another, "Your face is covered with sweat and mud is stuck on you."
"It's okay, I can stick with it."
"Why are you doing this?"
Yu Lian did not listen to the advice and digged hard. He calculated that this side was still a distance from the coast, and he still couldn't figure out why he had to arrange defense here.
Similarly, within the Guard Command, the Guard Commander was also explaining the deployment to the officers.
He pointed at the map with a thin branch.
"This is the coast. This semicircle is the gourd mouth we arranged. Do you see this point farthest from the coast? This is our line of defense.
According to the resolution of the General Command, shore defense artillery will bombard the enemy's ships as much as possible. If the coast is broken, the enemy will definitely attack westward.
Our mission is to stop them from advancing westward and buy time for the encirclement of the two wings. As long as we successfully delay their attack, our friendly forces on the north and south sides can completely surround them, and then achieve the goal of coefficient annihilation.
The command center also has an order that needs to be communicated to each unit, and must be closely monitored to prevent the infiltration of enemy reconnaissance troops.
According to reliable intelligence, enemy reconnaissance forces have the ability to quickly transmit intelligence."
