Seeing Chen Jun's reaction, He Huan breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason why he said so much was to listen to Chen Jun. This time Chen Jun brought a total of 1,000 troops, which was a quarter of the entire army. This ratio was already very high. If at a critical moment, Chen Jun
Failure to fully obey the command may affect the final outcome of the battle.
Although He Huan has the highest rank, the sergeants under Chen Jun listen to Chen Jun's orders first, and he is only second in rank.
Any military orders must be issued by Chen Jun, and only those sergeants will obey them.
Seeing that Chen Jun was frightened, He Huan felt relieved.
He Huan originally told Chen Jun deliberately, but he didn't expect that he was really wrong. He Huan was really such a person.
Anyone who relies on resourcefulness to win has a good understanding of people's hearts and a sharp vision.
At one glance, you can tell what kind of person you are.
If you are capable, you should win over them. If you are useless, squeeze them out of your circle. In addition to the general direction, you must also carefully observe each person's preferences and character flaws, etc.
The reason why we say "understand people's hearts" is because only by seeing through your opponent and truly understanding him can you guess what tactics your opponent will use.
Otherwise, how can we predict the enemy ahead?
Why not have a sharp eye and naturally see that many generals are dissatisfied with him?
The reason is simply that he does not have much status now. If he had a high enough official position, no one would dare to look down on him.
Sometimes ability and talent alone cannot convince others.
Back then, why not use means to clean things up? How could the army be victorious if it couldn't be used as an arm's length? But now, he just looked at it indifferently and made no move. He Huan's men and Chen Jun brought
The soldiers will go back after this battle. They are not his soldiers, so why bother to train them?
It is even possible that we will be enemies on the battlefield in the future, facing each other with swords and guns.
Of course, if there is really someone who will affect the victory of this battle, why not put some effort into getting rid of them? It can be said that He Huan accidentally saved Chen Jun's life.
It was necessary to ambush early. In the evening of that day, the army arrived at its destination.
There are several deep and long ravines here. The soldiers set up camp here to avoid the howling cold wind and to hide their whereabouts.
It was winter at this time, and when we were marching outside, we naturally carried a marching tent on our backs.
After the army stopped, most of the sergeants began to set up their tents. In this cold weather, walking and running was fine, but if it really stopped, the cold would be unbearable. Most of the other people were
The horses were fed fodder.
The leading soldiers used marching shovels to dig holes and bury pots for cooking.
At this time, many sergeants from Lingtong County carried some cloth bags, found the fire-head soldiers, and told them to use this to make a fire for cooking.
When they opened the bag, they found pieces of dark brown stones inside. These leading soldiers were really depressed.
It was the first time in my life to use stones to make a fire for cooking.
Seeing the expressions of these leading soldiers, the sergeants in Lingtong County were all smiling. Several of them found dry grass and dry firewood, and after lighting them, they lit the coal and showed off their skills. They saw that the dark brown stone actually
It can also be burned, and the soldiers seem to have discovered a new world.
They came up one by one, formed a circle, and pointed curiously.
At this time, several sergeants from Lingtong County said that it was Jiang Long who gave the order for the soldiers to use coal to cook. When talking about the reason, it was naturally because there was not much smoke when coal burned, unlike grass stalks and
Black smoke billows from burning firewood.
It can be clearly seen from a long distance, otherwise the ancients would not have built beacon towers to warn.
If you want to set up an ambush, you must be careful and conceal your whereabouts so that your opponent cannot discover it in advance.
Because it is in a ravine, so coal is burning, and you can only see a few red lights from a distance.
He Huan, Chen Jun, and some generals quickly got the news and ran over to check it out, clicking their tongues.
Jiang Long came at the end and said with a smile, "It's too cold to camp in the wild in this winter. After dinner, you can ask the sergeant to bring some burning coal back to keep warm. Remember not to take too much.
Also be careful not to burn your bedding and tent."
Coal is difficult to burn completely and releases carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can kill people.
Therefore, when people heat their homes, they will set up stoves and install chimneys to exhaust the gas.
At this time, Jiang Long asked the sergeant to take the burning coal back to the tent to keep warm. He did not make a mistake, because no matter how well the tents of this era were installed, they would not be exposed to the wind, which would be enough to exhaust the toxic gases.
Be careful not to use too much fire and accidentally light the bedding on fire.
Especially after sleeping, if a fire breaks out, people will be burned to death.
It was too cold outside, and many generals went back to their tents after being surprised.
He Huan pulled Jiang Long and strode to his tent. He asked with hope: "Are there many of those black stones?"
"Yeah." Jiang Long nodded affirmatively.
He Huan was instantly overjoyed. When Jiang Long was puzzled, he explained, "You don't know..."
After a while, Jiang Long understood why He Huan was so happy.
It turns out that the climate in northern Xinjiang is cold in winter, and some officials often exploit military supplies. This means that many sergeants do not receive enough warm clothes. In addition to wearing thicker clothes, if they want to avoid the cold, they can only light a fire to keep warm.
.
But northern Xinjiang is a prairie with not many woods.
Therefore, charcoal and dry firewood are not enough for burning. They can only be used for cooking, and it is absolutely impossible to use them for heating.
Next, if you want to keep warm, you can only burn grass stems.
But grass stems really don't need to be burned. If you light a lot of them, your hands will be burnt before they are even warmed.
Therefore, in the army here in northern Xinjiang, heating in winter has always been a big problem. Every year, soldiers freeze to death.
Jiang Long previously only thought about the common people, thinking about mining coal and driving it to the county town in a fleet to sell it at a low price, but he ignored the army.
"Especially the most forward and most dangerous earthen forts and barriers located on the border. Due to the extreme shortage of supplies and inconvenient transportation, the soldiers inside have a difficult life! Which winter does not freeze to death some people? Even sometimes,
For several days, no one came back to deliver the news. I sent someone to check, but the dozen or so people inside were all frozen to death..." He Huan sighed with a sad look on his face.
After hearing this, Jiang Long's eyes felt a little sour.
Being sent to the fortresses and barriers at the front is inherently the most dangerous.
Because as soon as the alien army arrives, it will be pulled out first, and all the people inside must be annihilated.
Their role is to discover something is wrong and immediately return to deliver the news to prevent the army or the county from being raided by foreign troops. They also have the task of monitoring the grassland movements at all times.
It’s the same in any world. People who do the hardest, most tiring, dirtiest, and most dangerous jobs always have a disproportionate amount of effort and reward. Most of the soldiers who are sent to the front bunkers and fortresses have no backstage, and they don’t have a backstage.
Or offended a powerful person.
Such people, when materials are allocated, cannot get their share.
"Brother He really cares and considers the soldiers, and I admire him."
Jiang Long said this sincerely, and then he said: "My little brother is already preparing to mine coal on a large scale. I originally wanted to bring it to the county town to sell it at a low price so that the people would not suffer from the cold in the winter. I heard what I said
As soon as I said that, I decided to send a convoy at that time, and first send some to the sergeants stationed in the earth forts and barriers. They guard the borders of Qi, resist the aliens, endure hardships and hardships, and cannot let them feel cold!"
"good!"
He Huan laughed and patted Jiang Long's shoulder heavily, "I really have the demeanor of the young marquis back then!"
"When this battle is over, I will have a detailed discussion with my elder brother."
Although Jiang Long wants to do good deeds enthusiastically, it is not that easy.
The forts and fortresses located on the border are all military buildings, and if they are related to the military, you must not be careless, otherwise you will be caught accidentally, and you may be labeled as a spy for military secrets.
So even if we want to act, we have to cooperate with He Huan.
He Huan responded repeatedly.
Nothing happened all night, and early the next morning, the leading soldiers were busy again.
However, today is much easier than before, because last night they left a fire and took out the burning coals to cook directly. Unlike before, they had to get up early in the morning and have to light the fire again.
That night, the sergeants also slept relatively peacefully because the military tent was much warmer than usual.
The first to eat was the military scout. After a quick meal, he mounted his horse and explored the surrounding area.
Then why not select a few outstanding scouts and lead them personally to impart knowledge.
Then he took them personally and asked them to check the nearby areas. If they found a large number of troops, they should go back and notify them immediately.
Next, the army ambush here.
In Hewu County, Jiang Longhe led troops to help and surrounded and suppressed many horse bandits and foreign teams. Therefore, many horse bandits and foreigners were frightened and did not dare to burn, kill, and loot again. Then He Huan
He then arrived with thousands of troops and entered the city in broad daylight in full view of everyone, so all the horse bandits and alien teams who had been frightened turned back.
This place is too dangerous. If you are not careful, you will lose your life.
Deep in the desolate prairie, an army of more than 8,000 people was heading towards Hewu County.
Tuomute's head was wrapped with a thick white cloth, his face was gloomy, he was riding a horse and walked in the center of the team.
From time to time, subordinates would come to report news.
"Chief, there is an army of four to five thousand men stationed in Hewu County. I'm afraid..." A foreign general who was following Tuomute said hesitantly at this time.
If it were in the wild, Bo Tie would not look down upon an army of four or five thousand men, let alone four or five thousand.
Since he can't be beaten at most, he can run away and harass him again.
But the Qi people were good at defending the city. After four to five thousand people entered Hewu County, he had no choice.
With more than 8,000 troops on our side, it is simply impossible to capture the county town garrisoned by 4,000 to 5,000 troops.
This is what past experience told him.
Tuomute snorted coldly when he heard this, "If you are afraid of death, go back now!"
Bo Tie's dark red face suddenly turned purple.
He lowered his head, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed quickly in his eyes.
