Guo Ning's clothes at the moment were no different from those of ordinary civil servants, and he turned sideways to talk to Zhao Jue.
And the soldier's mind was on eating, so he didn't pay attention to Guo Ning, and just gulped and passed by. After walking a few steps, he drank most of the soup in the wooden bowl and said to a companion in front of him. : "The soldiers have replaced it with a new copper pot. This pot is good. The soup is always hot and comfortable."
Listening to the words of the companion, he was a young man borrowed from Shandong. He laughed and said: "This is a good stove! What does it have to do with the pot? Did you see that this time we came north and the soldiers dug They are all special marching stoves. The big pit is used for storing firewood and soldiers, and the small pit is used as a stove, with the stove hole running through it. There are air holes next to the stove to gather wind, so the firepower will be strong. A long trench is dug on the side to reduce the firepower. The smoke rises...there’s something special about this!”
"I see..." The soldier nodded and said, "Boy, you have been thinking about cooking all day long. Do you think you are good at cooking?"
The young man held his head high and said: "That's natural!"
"You seem to have said that you want to be a soldier?"
"Ahem, I said I did, but..."
"How about I just tell the soldiers that if there is a vacancy one day, I'll fill you in and let me see your skills."
"That can't happen!"
"Why can't it be possible? You, like you, can only be regarded as an ordinary regular soldier in our team; but when you go to the auxiliary soldiers, you can at least become a general, regardless of ten Alixi. The auxiliary soldiers and generals can all be promoted A, the land he got is just like that of a regular soldier, no different from our regular soldiers!"
"That's too far off!" The young man was anxious and pushed the soldier on the back hard, causing him to stagger.
This was quite a force, and the soldier quickly held up several thick pancakes in his left hand. As a result, the wooden bowl in his right hand shook, and the last bit of soup spilled.
Seeing the soldier's face darken, the young soldier was startled and said quickly: "Brother Liu, don't be angry, don't be angry! I will give you all my soup for the next meal!"
Old Brother Liu responded coldly and walked on by himself.
The young soldier followed cautiously for a few steps, then came up to apologize and laughed: "I didn't understand things earlier, so I was talking casually. It's better to be a regular soldier. The regular army has more fields and rewards." . I have calculated that if I win a battle and achieve military exploits this time when I go north, I will be qualified to find a matchmaker and a wife when I go back, and I can also scrape together enough money to overturn a hydropower car!"
Old Brother Liu sighed and said to the young soldier: "Is it easy to earn land and rewards? What's the point of worrying about your daughter-in-law? Regular soldiers are much more dangerous than auxiliary soldiers. On the battlefield, they can be defeated at any time. You may lose your head. A real army fighting is different from those kiddie things like your scattered copycat attacks!"
The young soldier gave a loud "Hey" and said dissatisfiedly: "I am eighteen years old, not a child. And before I signed up for the army, I was a swordsman in Taolin Village, and I killed several fierce thieves! Look, It’s the knife on my waist that I use!”
The young soldier slapped the scabbard loudly.
Almost all of these more than 10,000 people were elite regular troops of the Dinghai Navy. In order to avoid arousing the extra vigilance of the servants Anzhen, they pretended to be civilians and crossed Hebei. When they marched, they were not allowed to say anything nonsense. Be careful to deal with the temptations of certain generals under Pu San Anzhen. Only when it is time to prepare for the camp, those Hebei Meng'an Mou Ke troops will be placed outside. The auxiliary soldiers who go out to chop wood and collect water still need to be cautious. But the people in the camp spoke to each other more enthusiastically.
Different from the general army, the Ding Navy has strict training on weekdays and extremely strict military laws during combat. However, when the soldiers are resting, they are encouraged to relax appropriately, and they can even organize some entertainment at home to relax their nerves.
Guo Ning believes that if an army lacks training and lacks confidence in victory, then no matter what the military law is, it will easily panic if there is a slight change. For example, in the camp of the Jin Army in Northern Xinjiang, according to military law, the soldiers were killed without permission.
Even speaking loudly is not allowed, and the gap between superiors and subordinates is like a chasm. It is impossible to joke with each other. The more severe and abnormal military law is, the more it shows that the control of the army by officers is extremely weak, and it is inconsistent with the
Ding Haijun at this moment is just a counterexample.
Old Brother Liu and the young soldiers chatted with each other and slowly walked back side by side. A few steps further, they reached the camp where they belonged. Several soldiers were sitting with their backs leaning on the wheels of the cart, picking out their feet with thin needles.
of blisters.
When they saw Old Brother Liu and the young man coming back, they greeted each other cheerfully, and the voices of many people talking rang out and then gradually dispersed.
Guo Ning was slightly distracted.
Zhao Jue next to him reminded: "Propaganda envoy?"
Guo Ning chuckled softly: "I haven't seen that old Liu for a while. I remember that the last time I saw him, he was still an ordinary soldier. Now that he has been promoted, I'm afraid he is no longer an ordinary general?"
Zhao Jue was very familiar with these soldiers. Even Dong Jin's subordinates knew them all. He immediately replied: "Xuan Envoy, in his early years, Lao Liu joined the army at Nanjing Road to defend Qianhu, and fought against the Song Dynasty people in the Southern Dynasties. Later, he
Become a militia leader by the Xiaoqing River."
"By the way, he is a fellow villager of Dong Jin."
"Exactly. Envoy, Lao Liu has good skills, and he is quick to master the tactics of our navy, so he was promoted to general six months ago. Later, he achieved military merit in Yidu and other places, and was approved as a second-class official.
Archived by the Experience Department. Because of this merit, he was promoted to a higher level, now Pu Liyan. The military academy in Yidu has already registered him."
"I see. Although he has been promoted, he is not very particular and still gets along well with the soldiers. This is good."
"yes."
Zhao Jue thought of something else and said casually: "By the way, Lao Liu is famous for his gluttony. Whenever the soldiers cook something good, he will rush there. One person can eat enough for two or three people."
.A while ago, I heard from his general that there is a jingle in the army that refers to him specifically, called...Old Liu, Old Liu, he eats as much as an ox, he eats an old sow without raising his head."
Guo Ning nodded: "Yes, I know, I made up this jingle."
"ah?"
Zhao Jue stared at Guo Ning for a long time and couldn't help laughing: "Envoy, you are very boring!"
At this moment, the two people's smiles instantly disappeared.
"Did you hear that?" Guo Ning asked.
"It's the Mingdi used exclusively by Dong Jin's troops." Zhao Jue said calmly: "It is Dong Jin's responsibility to be in charge of the reconnaissance cavalry today."
"How far was the scout released?"
"Cross the Lugou River in the east, go north via Guangli Bridge, and go to Wanning County in the west."
Just as Guo Ning nodded, the beep sounded again. Zhao Jue stood up suddenly and shouted: "Everyone, be silent!"
The area around the camp, which was originally filled with laughter and laughter, fell silent for an instant, a murderous atmosphere suddenly arose, and the sound of the chirping was clearly audible.
This time, the sound of the chirping sound was closer. It was obviously the scout riding while shooting arrows as a warning. Everyone could hear clearly that it was three arrows fired in succession, and then after a slight interval, it shot one arrow and one arrow respectively.
Two arrows.”
Zhao Jue said loudly: "This is the cavalry led by Dong Jin himself firing arrows! He sent out several groups of reconnaissance cavalry to the north. Either they were too late to get back, or maybe something happened! This signal means that to the north,
The enemy is coming, fifteen miles away from Dong Jin's location. The enemy is marching very fast and has an extremely large number of troops, more than ten thousand people!"
Guo Ning jumped off the shaft of the carriage and stood on the ground and stamped his feet: "Our sentinel cavalry is placed much further than that of Pusan Anzhen's headquarters, and the sound of dysprosium is also perfect. Therefore, send someone to inform Pusan Anzhen.
Come on, let him prepare for war...we are going to have a big war."
"As commanded."
I’ll update today. I’ll try to see if I can update during the day. I was scolded by the doctor and will have to go to bed early in the future...
