Zhao Jue, who was on duty outside, heard the noise in the tent and looked around.
"fine."
Just as Guo Ning waved his hand, the case tilted with a crash, and the written documents on it rolled to the floor.
Zhao Jue wanted to help clean it up, but Guo Ning strode out: "Throw it away and ignore it. Let's walk around the military fort and get some fresh air."
"yes."
The two of them, one behind the other, circled down the road in Tunbao.
This fort is located on the hills south of the port. The fort is quite large, with an irregular hexagonal shape, long from north to south and narrow from east to west. Although the stone walls of the fort are not high, they are very thick.
On that day, Guo Ning's troops invaded Tunpu. It was as easy as smashing a crispy walnut with a hammer. That was because Tunpu had not been repaired for decades, and the Jurchens stationed inside were not prepared for battle. After more than ten years,
On that day, Guo Ning himself was stationed here, and he daily urged the soldiers to take more rocks off the coast and tidy them up. The entire fort soon took on a new look.
After repairing several gaps and building a new fort wall of more than ten feet, the fort became stronger. The stone wall was also the outer wall of the residence in the fort. Thick wooden boards were laid on the roof of the residence to penetrate it. The place where the defenders stood for battle was also
Spacious.
Because the edge of the hill is curved, the wall is also concave and convex, forming several corners. There were originally watchtowers on the north and south sides, but now one is built on each corner. The only door on the stone wall is on the west side, with the road in front of the door.
It happens to be within the overlooking range of the three watchtowers.
Guo Ning's military tent was at the foot of one of the watchtowers, close to the military camp. When he walked past the military camp, many soldiers were gathering together, slowly preparing for battle.
Seeing Guo Ning's figure, the officers and soldiers stood up and saluted one after another. Some said they were meeting Commander-in-Chief, some were saying they were meeting Guo Langjun, and some senior officers called out "Liu Lang".
A soldier who joined the army in Zhongdu City was imprudent and called out Liulang. His general was busy mending leather boots and quickly hit the soldier's helmet with his leather boots, making a clanging sound: "You can call Liulang too."
Yes!"
Guo Ning heard the sound, turned to General Shi with a smile and waved, then put his finger in front of his lips, making a silent gesture. The soldiers quickly lowered their voices and stopped shouting greetings.
They had already received orders from the leading generals and knew that they had to lurk in the military fort for several days and not reveal their whereabouts easily.
For them, this is nothing. They spend their days lying in the deep grass in the wilderness, feeding mosquitoes all day and all night. Now they have food and drink in their own military camp, and all they need to do is whisper... That's not
Is it too comfortable?
Just now, they all heard the cheers of the people outside the military fort, and knew that Guo Zhongyuan's troops had won the battle. But unlike the people, they would not think that a victory was everything.
These soldiers have too much experience in fighting, and they know that once the Mongolian army is launched, there will inevitably be a series of fierce battles. Guo Zhongyuan leads some miscellaneous soldiers to win a battle. There is nothing to be proud of. That is just the beginning, we must win decisively.
To succeed, we must rely on the real elite under Commander Ji.
I will definitely fight, I will fight a big battle, a bad battle!
In the past few days, Commander-in-Chief has exempted everyone from military training and literacy classes, and the food they eat has meat, which is great. Some junior officers were even more relieved because they finally escaped from the nightly discussion of battle cases. Analysis. Take the opportunity to have a good rest and make more preparations.
Soldiers who have just been signed into the army will think that fighting in battle means charging forward with a knife and a gun, and that the knife and gun are in hand. As they become more and more experienced, they will find that preparation before battle is very important, and a little more negligence will lead to failure. It will cost you your life, but a little more preparation will save your life.
If a soldier has a few pieces of armor leaves on hand, he should seize the time to use them. The simplest way is to sew the armor leaves on the inside of the leather armor or leather waist. Some armors or weapons have been used in previous battles. If it was damaged and had not been repaired, I quickly went to the military officer in charge of logistics to see if it could be replaced. Naturally, the military officer had already received the order and opened up the inventory of weapons for supply.
Some soldiers gathered a few companions and went to apply for a whole piece of linen. They cut the linen into large and small strips, some of which were tied to gun shafts, knife handles and other handshake places, and some were folded repeatedly to make them thicker and sewn horizontally on them. The back of the armor at the critical points of the chest and abdomen was used as a lining. When hit by a heavy weapon, an extra layer of linen could relieve the force and prevent the bones from breaking.
Some soldiers were particularly cautious. They went to the military doctor in advance and asked for medicine to stop bleeding and eliminate wind. The medicine was very simple. Sichuan peppercorns, velvet antler and other substances could not be used in the army. They just took Angelicae, Alisma, Ligusticum, and Aconite. , Wu Zhang root, dried Rehmannia glutinosa, Tujue Bai and the like are crushed and fried. When the time comes, the first four are mixed and swallowed, and the last three are applied externally. Some old soldiers often have some medicinal materials around them, and at this time they take wooden sticks at home. Crush with pestle and set aside.
More soldiers were sitting scattered around, chatting softly with each other, or listening to their own generals talk about precautions during battle.
This kind of talk is different from pre-war mobilization.
Pre-war mobilization must be impassioned to inspire the soldiers' determination to fight. But for these veterans, the vocabulary of pre-war mobilization has been heard over and over again, and each of them can speak the same thing, leaving the recruits stunned.
What the veterans need is to repeatedly confirm their respective strengths, confirm the cooperation between each person and each unit, and agree on some useful gestures and codes on the battlefield, and even the order of command within the group in emergencies.
It is said that these things are very important to Guo Jieshuai. When he was at the Junhe camp, he specially asked Mr. Jinzhi to compile them into a book. However, I heard that Mr. Jinzhi has been busy in Zhongdu recently, so he probably won’t take care of them. This is what happened.
Everyone followed their own habits, slowly discussing each decision one by one.
Guo Ning walked past them, sometimes saying hello, sometimes laughing and scolding a certain officer for being so stupid.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He saw a soldier named Zhang Shao, waved him over, and reminded him not to bruise his arm when shooting the bow.
Zhang Shao was also a member of Yehuling's defeated army. Because his old injuries to his muscles and bones had not healed yet, making it difficult for him to fight, he was still just a pawn until this point.
Although Guo Ning's words sounded like a joke, they also confirmed his familiarity with Zhang Shao.
Zhang Shao was a little ashamed, but more of a proud person.
His face turned red, and he patted his chest and promised that he would make sure that he did not miss a beat. He would try his best to kill a few Mongolian officers to show Liu Lang. Someone on the side suddenly shouted, "Which officer should we kill? A hundred households or a thousand households? Black Tartars."
Can the Great Khan himself kill him?
As a result, many people couldn't help but laugh, and then fell silent under the pressure of the officers.
Guo Ning continued walking to the lower part of Tunpu. After a half circle, he reached the stables.
Most of the war horses were a little uncomfortable crossing the sea by boat. Therefore, it was very hard for the people who served the horses for a while. Fortunately, Wang Kou'er, the officer in charge of lifting the horses, was very good, so the horses gradually became energetic.
Wang Kou'er was Li Ting's old acquaintance in Baodi, Zhongdu. He was originally a horse dealer from Linhuang Prefecture. He had sold horses to Zhongdu before, but because he offended Hu Shahu, the good horses he sold were robbed by Hu Shahu's subordinate Xie Lie Beg'er.
, even his companions died.
Wang Kou'er and his only daughter managed to escape with great difficulty. However, they never thought that Hu Shahu would be killed by Guo Ning within a few days of trembling.
Wang Kou'er then followed Guo Ning and collected many troops and horses for Guo Ning in Zhigu Village.
At this time, Wang Kou'er changed the feed for all the war horses. Some of the good horses, big horses, had raw eggs mixed in the feed.
The horses ate the bran, swung their heads and tails, and snorted air from their nostrils. It was obvious that they were very satisfied, but they rarely neighed.
War horses are like people. After being on the battlefield for a long time, they can feel the atmosphere of the battle. Maybe they are also looking forward to following their masters to gallop across the vast battlefield, bite and trample with the enemy's cavalry, and knock over the crowds. Or maybe,
They also anticipate that their companions will die in large numbers, so are they sad?
Guo Ning grabbed a handful of horse feed and was about to feed the yellow gelding himself. Several guards around him all saluted. It turned out that Lu Han was here.
Lu Han held the food box and asked angrily: "What's the point of not eating? Huh?"
"I took the time to go shopping, but I forgot about it for a moment." Guo Ning laughed.
He took the food box from Lu Han's hand, opened it, looked at it, took out a steaming steamed cake and stuffed it into his mouth, saying repeatedly: "It's delicious!"
