Wen Zhong took out 30,000 taels of silver. If any of the 3,000 soldiers failed to come back, at least it would be a guarantee for their families.
Of course, it was definitely impossible for Wen Zhong to come up with so much cash when he was fighting on the battlefield, but Wen Zhong made this promise in front of everyone in the army. If Wen Zhong couldn't do this later, then
How will he lead the team in the future?
Therefore, the soldiers did not have any doubts!
The three thousand soldiers had eaten and drank enough, and climbed onto their horses one by one with bold steps. Even if some of them still looked hesitant, seeing their companions getting on their horses one by one, they could only bite the bullet and follow.
Forward.
In this battle, there were not many generals fighting. After all, Wen Zhong was a partial force, and there could not be too many generals. Even if he was biased towards Li Jing, it was impossible to remove all the generals under Wen Zhong.
Already.
In addition to Li Jing and Li Cunxiao, the rest include Li Cunxiao's six lieutenants.
However, 3,000 men and horses equipped with so many generals is extremely over-the-top.
The cold wind howled, and as the war horse sped up, Li Jing could only hear the whistling wind in his ears. Even the soldier driving the horse in front of him could not hear the sound of the horse shouting.
It is true that the cold temperature made Li Jing's warm armor feel cold. Fortunately, with the sheepskin underwear and thermal linen clothes, he was not so cold that he was unconscious. But even so, his small face would have been cold.
It was frozen to a crisp.
Li Jing was born in the Wei Dynasty. The natural climate temperature difference between the Wei Dynasty and the Da Cang Dynasty is still quite large, and the gap with Dongyi is even greater. I didn't have such a deep understanding at first, but here
During this urgent march, Li Jing was obviously not used to it.
In order to ensure that he would not die on the road, Li Jing covered his head with the sheepskin cloak he was wearing, hoping that this would reduce the damage to his face from the cold wind.
However, a big hand directly pulled off the sheepskin cloak covering Li Jing's head without any mercy. Of course, it was not completely pulled off, but Li Jing's eyes were exposed.
"Pharmacist, on the battlefield, as long as you cover your eyes, death will be waiting for you. Therefore, do not cover your eyes at any time, and make sure they can pay attention to everything around you at any time."
Although Li Cunxiao's eyes had already turned red due to the cold and strong wind, he seemed to have no consciousness. He just narrowed his eyes slightly and did not close them completely.
Li Cunxiao has a master-level cultivation. Although he is only in the early stage of becoming a master, he has indeed reached this stage. After all, whether from the background of the Zhendong Army or from the Confucian background, Li Cunxiao actually has no shortage of resources.
After Li Cunxiao chose external skills and reached a certain level, he could naturally use resources to improve his internal skills in the shortest time.
Li Cunxiao can use his internal strength to protect his eyes, but any general who has been on the battlefield for several years will know that every ounce of strength is extremely important on the battlefield. What matters is to use the smallest amount of effort to be most efficient.
to kill the enemy.
Not to mention that Li Cunxiao's internal strength is just incidental. Even if he specializes in internal strength, it is impossible to waste his internal strength on such a place before he reaches the level of a heavenly being. After all, they are deep behind enemy lines, and a battle may break out at any time.
Hearing Li Cunxiao's teachings, Li Jing knew that he was teaching him his combat experience on the battlefield. If Li Jing wanted to make a name for himself on the battlefield, he would definitely have to go to the battlefield in the future, and there would be many wars in the future!
Li Jing's art of war is indeed very powerful, but it is also true that he has no experience on the battlefield. He and Li Cunxiao can't compare to such small skills on the battlefield! Some things can only be learned after practicing them personally.
Following Li Cunxiao's example, Li Jing narrowed his eyes and looked ahead...
Three consecutive days of long-distance running made Li Jing stiff all over. Just when he thought he was about to freeze to death, the army drove directly into the foot of a mountain. Due to the barrier of the hill, all the cold wind was blocked.
When he reached the other side of the mountain, it was still not much warmer. But there were some things that he was most afraid of: contrast.
Although the temperature was still very low, there was no howling of the cold wind. After a while, Li Jing's body finally regained some consciousness. Then the soldiers slowly walked out of the car. Looking at their appearance, Li Jing finally
Suddenly I realized that I was not the only one who lost consciousness.
After most people climbed down from their horses, there were dozens of people still sitting on their horses, maintaining the same marching appearance as before.
Li Jing was a little puzzled that they didn't know how to come down and move around. Just as he was about to call out to ask them to come down and move around so as not to freeze to death, a big hand stretched out and pulled out his arm.
Turning around, he found that the person holding him was actually Li Cunxiao.
"Don't disturb them, let them have a good rest."
A dozen simple words, but Li Jing suddenly realized something.
Now Li Jing, even though he is the father of two children, but judging from the ages of his two sons, we know that he is not very old himself, only in his early 20s. At this time, he has not experienced so much, so he is far away.
He is not as cruel as those famous generals who have fought in hundreds of battles. This battle is his first time on the battlefield, and this situation is also his first experience.
The battle hadn't even started yet. In just three days of fighting, dozens of people out of 3,000 had lost their lives. This made Li Jing feel a little panicked in his heart. These were living human lives, just dissipated in the air.
On the way to the march, the cruelty of war taught Li Jing a lesson for the first time, a lesson that made people feel sad.
At this time, Li Jing was no longer as high-spirited as he was in front of Zhuge Liang, Wang Yu, and Wen Zhong, pointing out the country and the world under my control. Instead, he truly looked like an ordinary person.
No one is born to be mature and sophisticated. Behind maturity and sophistication are only accumulated life experiences and the accumulation of years. Those who are young and mature may not have years, but they will not have less precipitation.
Everyone ate some dry food and dried meat, and began to take a short rest. After three consecutive days of running, the soldiers had almost reached their limit. If they continued running, they might all die on the way.
Even though he was extremely tired and cold, he didn't even dare to eat a warm meal, or even light a fire easily to reduce the chance of being discovered.
