Chapter 142: Squatting together in a manhole at night
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Then let us go to the end together, kill the enemy side by side, and achieve success!"
Liu Jingxuan suddenly laughed: "Starting from tomorrow, we will have combat training. Jinu, you have to perform well. I still say that I will decide on the position of captain!"
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "Okay, I'll wait for you to pick it up. I hope you won't disappoint me!"
While they were talking, there was a sound of slight footsteps in the tent. The two stopped talking and looked inside the tent. They saw the door curtain lifted and Wei Yongzhi holding his stomach and about to walk out.
Liu Yu frowned: "Rabbit, what's wrong?"
Wei Yongzhi's face looked red from boredom, and he said anxiously: "Grandma, I probably ate some sour buns tonight, and now my stomach feels a little uncomfortable. I need to poop, slave."
Liu Yu shook his head: "There are rules in the army. When going out at night, at least two people must go together. Otherwise, if you are encountered by the patrol sergeant on duty, you will be punished as a spy. Even I can't save you." 22
The army has strict nighttime regulations to prevent spies from sneaking in and spying on the military. First of all, each battalion must have a password for patrolling and guarding. This password changes every day. In many cases, it is the name of the commander of each battalion. This is a daily training
The camp is pretty good. If it is wartime, the armies will move camps and change positions almost every day, so the names of the commanders of each camp will be changed every day. Even the enemy spies who were lucky enough to get the password the day before will not be able to come back the next day.
They often answer the wrong password and get caught.
In addition, when moving at night, whether drinking water or defecating, two people must go together. Although the ancient military did not have the knowledge of hygiene and epidemic prevention in later generations, they also knew that people lived together and feces was the biggest source of infection, so for
There are strict requirements for toilets.
Whenever the army marches and sets up camp, every ten people are in a group or fifty people are in a team. They have five pots to eat. They also have to dig five toilet pits within fifty steps around the camp.
To defecate and urinate in the pits, these five pits must be filled every other day, and a pine branch must be inserted as a mark. Another five pits more than ten feet square must be dug elsewhere to ensure that mosquitoes will not breed around the tent.
Flies spread diseases.
Wei Yongzhi's three hare lips turned: "Oh, I forgot about this. Well, I'll go back and ask Shunzhi to accompany me." He said, turning around to go back to the account.
Liu Yu sighed and said: "That's all, I'm sleeping soundly. Everyone has been practicing hard these days. I can sleep a little longer. How about this. I'll accompany you. Military law doesn't say that we both go out together."
If so, the sergeant on duty cannot go."
Wei Yongzhi's eyes lit up: "Yeah, why did I forget this? If you are also in a hurry, you have to go into the tent and find someone to go with you. It's impossible for two guys on duty to poop at the same time."
Liu Jingxuan curled up his lips: "Then go back early. If General Sun comes to patrol the night and sees someone absent, there may be trouble."
Liu Yu lit some sand, thrust the spear in his hand into the ground, and he and Wei Yongzhi ran towards the grass behind the tent. After turning three times and two times, they touched the toilet pit dug by their team.
A stench mixed with the smell of sour noodles hit his nostrils. Liu Yu frowned, pinched his nose and walked out. He pulled down his pants and squatted by the pit and said to Wei Yongzhi: "Rabbit, action
Be neat. What's going on with the military rations these days? It's so stale, everyone has a lot of diarrhea."
The sound of shit falling to the ground came, and Wei Yongzhi let out a long sigh of relief. His voice also came from the grass: "It must be Liu Muzhi, the fat guy, who is causing trouble. He stole all the good things and left them alone."
Give us some old sesame seeds and rotten millet. However, we are pretty good. We always have pasta and steamed buns to eat these days, but for those of you who are born and raised in the south, it is hard to swallow."
Liu Yu curled up his lips. He was really not used to the food these days. He shook his head: "We haven't started the Northern Expedition yet. Why do we have to eat these steamed buns every day? It's not like there is no rice in the army."
Wei Yongzhi said with a smile: "It's probably to prepare for the future war. You don't know something. After arriving at the Huaihe River, once you pass Pengcheng, you will mainly eat pasta. We are in the north, and it is difficult to eat it all year round.
After a few meals of rice, I was still not used to it when I first arrived in Jingkou. It was only after I joined the army that I ate steamed buns from my hometown again."
Liu Yu felt sad. The separation between the north and the south was not only an obstacle of a big river. The people's sentiments, customs, and food on the two sides were completely different. Although he had made great achievements in the army, expedition to the Central Plains to the north, and regained the rivers and mountains, even the people in the north were very different.
The steamed buns and pasta were hard to swallow, so why talk about the Northern Expedition? When he thought of this, his heroic spirit could not help but be depressed.
Wei Yongzhi's voice suddenly became lower: "By the way, Jinu, what do you think of this Liu Jingxuan? He seems to have some energy and wants to compete with you."
Liu Yu shook his head: "He should be a son of a high-ranking family, or at least a general. I don't understand why he wants to fight with me, a common man. Even if he wins, he is just a captain in charge of fifty soldiers."
That’s all, he doesn’t only have this vision.”
Wei Yongzhi shook his head: "No, Jinu, you don't know that you are the third-term military leader of Jingkou, not an ordinary commoner. These days, not only our Feibao Battalion, but also other armies and battalions, have
It is said that you are so powerful. There are also athletes in the teams brought by the refugee commanders from various places. I heard that some people are watching you secretly and want to compete with you? This Liu Jingxuan is just better than them.
To take a further step, we might as well just transfer him to the Flying Leopard Battalion."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "Ah Shou is also an upright and upright man. It's not a bad thing that he wants to compete with me openly. Having such an opponent can also stimulate my fighting spirit."
Wei Yongzhi sighed: "But this kid is not very good at being a good person. When he came, he was very cool and coaxing. These days, he is still looking at us with his nose. No matter how capable he is, we will not obey him. It's still you, Brother Liu.
Okay, treat us as your own brothers. Don’t worry, combat training will start tomorrow, and we will help you teach Liu Jingxuan a lesson."
Liu Yu's expression changed, and he glanced at Liu Jingxuan, who was still standing guard outside the tent a hundred steps away, and whispered: "Don't mess around, A Shou is just a little crazy and arrogant, he is still his brother. Don't hurt him.
So peaceful."
Wei Yongzhi walked out of the grass while holding up his pants, wiping his hands with a few blades of grass, just like he had wiped his buttocks with these blades of grass just now (there was no toilet paper in this era, and people often used it after defecating)
Grass leaves wipe), and said with a smile: "We have a sense of measure when we take action. In addition to the captain's position being yours, isn't there also a team deputy? If Ah Shou wants to be the captain, he must first ask us if we can let him.
