After Li Ziying arrived in the Shaanxi-Gansu region, the land was vast and sparsely populated. One town was far away from the next, and they often slept in the wild. In the cold winter, the soldiers gathered around the fire to keep warm. The nights were long and the moonlight was sparse.
.You can hear wild wolves howling on the high hills.
, outside the open sentry at the camp gate, there are also hidden sentries at the camp wall. Li Ziying followed the military system of Chu camp and did not dare to slack off. Vehicles surrounded the outer circle as a protective wall, and piles of fires were lit outside the camp.
An opportunity for wild wolves and rebels with ulterior motives to sneak attack the camp.
It has entered the war zone, and in winter there are countless tributaries scurrying and looting rebels. Although this is an area controlled by the Qing army, there may be rebels coming to make a profit. Small transport teams are often attacked by people who are familiar with the geography.
Rebel ambush.
Along the way to Li Ziying, I encountered sporadic robbers, but most of the time the robbers didn't dare to take action when they saw how many people were in the convoy. They just watched from a distance, seeing that there were no loopholes to exploit, and followed them for a few days before riding away.
Yes. Some robbers fired a shot into the air before leaving as a parting gift.
The outpost team led by Sword Sheath Yun also encountered robbers who wanted to pay for passage. Seeing that they were from the same school, they all gave some small money to send the small group of robbers away.
I also encountered robbers who fired at a convoy. One person in Li Ziying was shot to death and four others were injured. For the robbers who dared to provoke Li Ziying, the officers and soldiers of Li Ziying shared the same hatred and directly responded with volleys of guns.
, let the robbers understand that Li Ziying's sharpshooter can kill people 1,000 meters away, and they cannot escape on horseback.
There were also incidents where horses were frightened, civilians were trampled to death by horses, and a student soldier accidentally fell into a ravine and died. As for deserting and escaping, this has never happened. Wild wolves will not follow a large army marching in the wilderness.
Looking for death. If you are alone, wolves will rush at you at any time and kill you.
Camping is inseparable from water sources. There are many ravines on the high loess slopes, forming valleys and rivers. In each place, there are local officials or troops stationed to provide guides, so Li Ziying did not go through any wrong roads. When camping, one is to set up a camp.
In a simple shelter, vehicles were surrounded in several circles as fortifications during battles. Cattle, horses, and camels were also surrounded to prevent the animals from escaping.
Thirty people in each team were in charge of the food, boiling a large pot of hot soup, throwing miscellaneous food into the soup, and adding some chili peppers every time. The hodgepodge soup was the main dish. After arriving in Gansu, the staple food was no longer for Shaanxi people.
I like to eat Guokui, but eat a kind of naan, a kind of flour cake.
There is a special oven at home. But when marching, a simple method is used, directly burying the naan under the fire. In about two quarters of an hour, the naan can be taken out and eaten. The naan is more delicious than the pot helmet, but it cannot be separated from the oven.
Roast. If you need to hide your trace, you can still change the ration.
Now a group of soldiers gathered around the fire, drinking hot soup while warming themselves. They tore the naan into small pieces, dipped some soup in it, stuffed it into their mouths and chewed it. Beside the steaming fire, the soldiers took off their coats and marched.
I am satisfied if I can eat hot soup, meat, and vegetables and still be full.
In the first few days of marching, everyone will have blisters on the soles of their feet. During this march, a pair of feet is the most important, so you have to wash your feet with hot water every night, use a needle to pop the blisters, and apply some medicated oil. After these days of marching, every day
Everyone has developed layers of calluses and no longer worries about their feet.
After dinner, Li Guolou took Gosh Hamadquan, Xiao Shitou, Ma Liang and Fu Guozhong to patrol the camp. He was still accustomed to holding a riding crop. Anyone who did something wrong would be whipped. Military discipline was strict, and it was common to beat and scold subordinates.
.Be strict with your subordinates and speak harshly, so that your subordinates will feel in awe. If you make small mistakes, you still have the opportunity to correct them. If you make a big mistake, you will be killed. Super Architect.
You are not allowed to walk around at will in the military camp. When they saw Li Guolou and his party approaching, the four soldiers on guard immediately saluted and shouted: "Dong Zhiyuan."
"Kill the enemy and serve the country." Li Guolou waved his whip as a return gift and looked at the four soldiers standing guard in four directions.
This method of standing guard was thought up by Li Guolou. The enemy likes to make sneak attacks. The sentry on guard duty will use the darkness of night and blind spots to sneak up to the sentry, and then the enemy will surprise the sentry guard. This sneak attack method has been tried many times and has a high success rate.
Very high. Therefore, Li Guolou came up with a solution once and for all
Li Ziying's way of standing guard is to arrange four sentries at one checkpoint, facing four directions, so that enemies who want to make a sneak attack will not easily get close to the soldiers. Sure enough, Li Ziying used this way of standing guard, and no one was killed by the enemy along the way.
After passing the guard post, standing guard at night is no longer a dangerous job.
The soldiers of Li Ziying couldn't help but admire Li Guolou's ability to use his brains to plug his own loopholes. Fu Guozhong, who retired from the army and resumed his duties here at Li Guolou, greatly appreciated this way of standing guard and felt that it could be used in battle.
It was widely promoted in the army at that time.
The group of refugees who followed Li Ziying along the way, there were more than 600 villagers. When sleeping in the wild, they did not stay with the officers and soldiers of Li Ziying, but found another open space for them to stay alone. For this group
People make Li Guolou feel like they are worthless. Many people with unknown origins gather together, who knows what disaster they will bring to him? Some people have ulterior motives and sneak into Li Ziying with ulterior motives.
Some refugees participated in the rebellion, and some were even spies for the rebels. Most Han people have no faith. They kowtow when they see a temple. If you have milk, you are your mother's master. People who have survived to this day in war-torn areas have known many masters.
He is by no means the last Lord
Son, Li Guolou will not believe those new refugees and villagers who have joined Li Ziying. Especially the refugees who are closer to the enemy-occupied areas. They have taken in more than 100 refugees in the past two days. He wants to take a look at the unarmed "
What kind of tricks can "refugees" do?
A few days ago, I encountered sporadic robbers wandering near the convoy. The past two days have suddenly calmed down. Apart from the officers and soldiers at the outpost, no robbers have been seen along the way. The high loess slopes are covered with ravines and thorns, and it seems that the road has been blocked by officers and soldiers.
Controlled, but unknown, intestinal pathways are unknown to outsiders.
The rebels should pay attention to Li Ziying. They will always have some fragmentary information about Li Ziying. Will they launch a surprise attack on Li Ziying? Li Guolou likes to consider the problem thoroughly and slowly walks towards the camp of the caravan.
In the caravan camp, a convoy of more than 100 merchants was placed in the center position. The merchants and clerks also had firearms, but the firearms were relatively old. Li Guolou was responsible for their safety, so he placed the caravan in the center position.
Hu Yangyue, the owner of "Cai Mao Tang" saw Li Guolou coming to see them, and hurried up to greet them. He was already familiar with Li Guolou, and said quite casually: "Master Li, why don't you rest at this late hour?"
Li Guolou heard the hidden meaning. Wasn't it just the things he and Wan Niang did at night that all men were interested in? Yanran smiled and said: I'm too busy and have no time to rest. Mr. Hu, I'm here to ask you to open a military
Meeting, you and Xiao Yang come with me."
Hu Yangyue listened to Li Guolou's easy-going words, but the shadow of the war hung over his head and he was under great pressure. He exchanged a few words with the people in the caravan and followed Li Guolou with his young steward Yang Zhao.
Walk towards a big willow tree by the river.
In the dark night, most of the soldiers in the camp were resting. Only some sentries patrolling the camp were still patrolling. When they saw Li Guolou and others approaching, a sentry shouted: "Stop, who is it?"
Li Guolou said: "Escort envoy Li Guolou."
The military meeting was held in front of a fire. Three cordons were put outside. Everyone from Li Ziying's team officer level and above came. About eighty people stood around the Li Guo Building. I didn't know it was so late.
What important matter does the escort have to tell them?
Li Guolou got straight to the point: "Everyone, we are very close to the front line now, and there are still about twelve days to go. This is also the area hardest hit by rebel plunder, and we have to guard against it. The possibility of being attacked by a sneak attack is more than 30%.
When the enemy suddenly launches a sneak attack on our convoy, we must make the most appropriate emergency response and not give the enemy an opportunity. How can we reduce losses with such a long team?
? We also need to inflict as much pain on the enemy's cavalry as possible. This requires each of us to use our strength and twist into a rope. Instead of running around in panic and shooting randomly, which will not be lethal. We must know that the enemy's cavalry is charging.
If you come in front of us, we will only be at the mercy of others. Xi family has a daughter. So I announce that we will conduct a practical exercise tomorrow to test the combat effectiveness of our Li Ziying."
"Yes!" As soon as they heard about the actual combat drill tomorrow, every officer and civilian leader became excited. They hadn't heard the sound of gunfire for a long time, and the guns were almost rusty. It was time to stretch their muscles.
"Okay! Tomorrow's battle command will be based on each team as a combat group. How do the adjacent teams cooperate and how to deploy defenses? It will be decided by the sentry commander. The battalion officer and team supervisor will rate each team. I want to see
The collaborative spirit of each team." I am quite pleased with the unquestioning listening to orders of my subordinates and the vague murderous intent. The soldiers of Li Ziying have the consciousness to fight. War can make the students of Xinwutang grow rapidly.
Become a qualified commander.
Xishan Jianrui Nutrition Soldier Yao Bin was also at the meeting. He was appointed by Li Guolou as a team officer to oversee the thirty infantry soldiers. Seeing that even those senior officers had Mauser rifles, the student soldiers of the New Wutang Hall had already
Resisting Mauser guns all the way in front of the raising soldiers
Show off. That Su Yuanchun is already wearing an exquisite revolver, and their thirty training soldiers are still carrying flintlock rifles. The Xishan Jianrui training soldiers have been scolding their mothers behind their backs for a long time. Isn’t it a military exercise tomorrow?
Is it shameful to raise soldiers?
"Reporting to Li Xuezheng, we at Xishan Jianrui Nutrition and Training Soldiers are not stepmothers. We hope that Li Xuezheng will treat everyone equally and change our equipment." Yao Bin couldn't hold it anymore and stepped forward to perform a military salute.
"Captain Yao, the use of guns is not about good or bad. You have raised your soldiers to be accustomed to using flintlock guns. You should first use weapons that are suitable for your hands and perform well. When you get back, each of you will be given a revolver."
"Yes!" Yao Bin left happily, wanting to tell the brothers the good news, holding a mimeographed combat outline in his hand. This outline is a collective effort and some battlefield contingency measures formulated by the school officials in case of emergencies like this
, people will not have a blank mind. When learning to fight in a war, they must also learn to sum up experiences and lessons.
Seeing those poor men eager to try, Hu Yangyue's heart was filled with ups and downs. His caravan also had a strong fighting capacity. How could it be a coward in the middle? He rushed to say: "Li Xuezheng, our caravan asked to participate in the drill. I promise to listen."
Order to act."
"Okay! It's good for Mr. Hu to exercise. Everyone has instinctive reactions. Combat drills allow people to make the right choices in an instant." Li Guolou asked Hu Yangyue to participate in the military meeting to improve the self-protection ability of the caravan and allow the team to
everyone plays a role
The officers returned to their camps, and the surroundings slowly calmed down. Li Guolou whispered: "Keep an eye on those refugees for me. Don't be afraid of trouble. Call me according to the roster tomorrow. I think some people will slip away tonight."
"Yes! I will personally go to the roll call tomorrow morning." Fan Dahui was surprised and looked at Li Guolou with wide eyes. It turned out that Li Guolou was not acting on a whim. Danger was approaching anytime and anywhere. The group of people who claimed that Master Fan was the "big savior",
There is a murderous intention hidden in it, and he actually wants their lives. Fortunately, he followed a "magic catcher", and this time he will not die on the battlefield.
"If someone escapes, anyone who came with that person to surrender will be arrested and driven away. There will also be a group of people who spread rumors and those who do not report the information will be punished together.
"Whoever dares to cause trouble, let him go. Li Ziying's military regulations should be stricter. To be kind to others is to be cruel to yourself." Li Guolou secretly warned several of his confidants and prepared to fight tomorrow morning.
Take action.
When they heard that Li Guolou was planning to attack the refugees, Fan Dahui, Ma Dequan, Bater and others were eager to try.
Among them, the most excited person is Jin Erzi. He has a twisted heart and is a perverted type. He likes to see bloody scenes. If a refugee disappears tomorrow, he can kill someone. So Jin Erzi does not do anything to catch the police, but makes a noise to come.
The Great Northwest War.
"Li Xuezheng, I have brought a complete set of torture instruments from the Ministry of Punishment. Before driving the suspect away tomorrow, let me ask for a confession. I can even pry open a tiger's mouth." Jin Erzi no longer concealed the torture instruments hidden secretly, but wanted to take them out.
use.
The people around him were shocked. He was even more ruthless than Li Guolou. Li Guolou only used the sitting method to deal with the hidden spies. But Jin Erzi also resorted to lynching and did not treat people as human beings.
"Well, gold and silver are here, let's go with Mr. Fan tomorrow." Li Guolou raised his eyebrows, turned and left, not letting others see the expression on his face. He was secretly happy that he finally found a talent, such a vicious and sinister person.
, is the talent he needs. Jin Erzi has great conditions and can become his trump card in the future.
