Chapter 377 The Magical Use of Ice and Snow

In the afternoon, the wind and snow remained the same, and it even got heavier.

The lieutenant riding on the horse pointed to the opening of the col in front of him and said: "It's not early, stop marching, go to the front to set up a camp, bury pots and cook food, send 12 people into four teams to patrol the four directions to prevent accidents, if there is any abnormality, use the sentinel as a signal."

"obey"

As soon as he gave an order, the whole army immediately executed it.

"Stop now, it's too early, we haven't walked fifty miles yet," Lu Wencheng looked at the sky and said in amazement.

The lieutenant turned his head to look at him, then glanced at Yun Jing and Hou Xicai again, without saying a word, watching the next sergeant's actions.

Hou Xicai patted Lu Wencheng on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother Lu, Master Liu has his own intentions in making such arrangements."

In the way of marching, every move has a purpose. Lu Wencheng knew this truth, so he humbly asked for advice at this time: "Brother Hou, can you tell me?"

Lieutenant Liu Fang didn't stop them from discussing, but instead put one ear to watch this side.

Hou Xicai said: "It's already afternoon, the wind and snow are getting stronger, the way ahead is unclear, it is not advisable to brave the wind and snow to advance, if there is an accident, it will delay the overall march, and the place suitable for camping should not be casual, if you miss this place, it may be dark I can’t find a suitable one when I arrive, and besides, people are tired and horses are exhausted and need to rest, especially livestock. Human power alone cannot transport so many things to the destination when they are tired and hungry.”

"I see, I've been taught," Lu Wencheng cupped his hands.

Although they are scholars, marching and fighting seems far away, but who knows when they will go to the battlefield and lead the army alone in the future?And where did the experience of marching and fighting come from?Reading alone is not enough. Now is the best learning opportunity, and it is not an opportunity for everyone.

Only by observing, summarizing, and discussing with others in practice can we learn the real thing. It is not shameful to ask if you don’t understand.

Smiling, Hou Xi looked at Yun Jing and said, "Brother Yun, do you have anything to add?"

It wasn't intentional to make things difficult for Yun Jing. Although Hou Xicai had served in the army a few times, his experience was not considered sophisticated. He wanted to hear Yun Jing's opinion. Maybe there was something he hadn't observed.

It should be known that once he personally leads the army to fight, it will affect the lives of countless people. A little more experience may turn the situation around, so it is normal for him to ask Yunjing.

This kind of practical opportunity does not take the time to discuss and learn. Is it possible to talk about it while drinking flower wine?
Yun Jing was also happy to discuss with them, looked ahead, thought for a while and said: "Master Liu is a bit particular about the place where we camp, we people and supplies will go there, and we will not be crowded or empty when we settle down. The terrain of the mountain depression is not dangerous. , leeward, to prevent us from being attacked by wind and snow, and, once the enemy attacks us, if we lose, we can retreat from the mountain so as not to cut off our back road. Then, there is a small stream over there, if it is summer If so, the running water in the stream can provide us with a source of water. Even if the flowing water is poisoned, there is still water available upstream. Of course, it is winter, and the water can be replaced by snow. By the way, the surrounding area is flat and the field of vision is wide, which can effectively prevent Ambushed and stalked..."

Hearing what Yun Jing said, Hou Xicai also observed, some of which he thought of, some of which he didn't think of, so he nodded and said: "Brother Yun is a genius, I feel ashamed, but you should be more thoughtful and have learned "

"What Brother Hou said, we're just discussing with each other," Yun Jing shook his head and said.

Lu Wencheng smiled and said: "There are so many opinions about simple camping. I think this time I will be able to gain a lot. Next, Brother Hou and Brother Yun, you can't hide your secrets."

Liu Fang listened from the side, nodding secretly, thinking that the three scholars who came this time were either idiots, or that Lu Wencheng was a little bit worse, but the one named Yunjing was a bit surprising, I didn't think too much about it.

"Yun Jing, who is less than 17 years old, came to Xieyang City for a few days, and actually entered the army for training. It's only natural for him to be given such an opportunity..." Liu Fang thought to himself, observing Yunjing and the others silently.

Liu Fang himself was also a scholar, so he naturally hoped that there would be more people with strategy in mind, so that if they died in battle, there would be newcomers to lead the soldiers of Dali to continue defending against the enemy.

And as long as Yunjing and the others asked, Liu Fang would share his experience without hesitation, and he would not take the initiative to talk about it if they didn't ask. After all, as the chief officer of this transportation team, he had to deal with a lot of things.

Learning and asking, after all, requires the individual to take the initiative. Who will take the initiative to talk to you if you are not self-motivated?You have a lot of face.

The team soon came to the col, Yunjing and the others silently observed Liu Fang's command and learned valuable experience.

After arriving here, the animals were placed first, and a special place was found to spread a layer of straw on the ground, and quilts were placed on it, and a bonfire was set up around it, and a circle of oilcloth was used to block the wind. The fodder they feed is also things like bean cakes, which are better than humans.

For this transportation team, animals are more precious than people. Without these animals, it is impossible to complete the task with so many materials carried by people alone.

The animals were settled, followed by the transported materials, which were in the middle of the camp, and then people began to build tents along the material circle.

Supplies are missions and the primary protection target. Soldiers far away are counting on these things to survive, but it's not just as simple as missions.

The camp supplies are settled, and the next step is to bury the pot for cooking, but at this time, half of the people went into the tent to rest, and the remaining half of the people were busy burying the pot for cooking, and the rest patrolled the surroundings with weapons .

"Half of the people rest and recover their strength. This is convenient for changing shifts at night. Master Liu, am I right?" Lu Wencheng asked Liu Fang for advice.

He turned around and said, "That's right, but it's not entirely true. Those who rest are also warming the beds for others. Don't think it's ridiculous. It's a world of ice and snow. Although the people who rest behind are more tired than them, they can sleep on warm quilts for the first time." , can better restore physical strength and spirit”

Yun Jing and Hou Xicai looked at each other, and they both conveyed a message. This is a detail that needs to be remembered.

Knowledge is everywhere.

Then Yun Jing looked in several directions and said in astonishment: "Master Liu, why are they doing that?"

Yun Jing saw a dozen or so people leaving the camp. They took quilts and other items, scattered around the camp in twos, and directly wrapped themselves in quilts and buried them in the snow. What tricks were they doing?
Liu Fang glanced at it and explained: "Anshao, they are hiding in the snow and should not be discovered. One person rests and the other is vigilant. They come in rotation. Someone will deliver food to them. By the way, I remind you that if you go out at night, Whenever you leave the camp for [-] meters, you need to report a secret signal. The secret signal is that you have eaten too much tonight. Enemy attack, remember, otherwise it will lead to bad consequences, and the military law will deal with it.”

"I'll understand later," Yunjing and the others nodded.

Then Liu Fang looked at them and asked, "I don't know if you think there is any room for improvement given the current conditions in the camp?"

When he asked this, he probably meant to test the school, but then again, Yunjing and the others came here to practice, so why didn't the army want to learn valuable advice from them?
They complement each other, one person may not be able to think of anything better to supplement, but with so many scholars scattered in the army, any useful opinion can benefit the entire army.

Moreover, if you really put forward effective opinions, you can definitely add a note to your resume.

Lu Wencheng and Hou Xicai took a closer look at the camp, shook their heads and said that there was nothing to add, and with their current experience, they couldn't offer better suggestions.

On the contrary, it was Yun Jing, who thought for a while and said: "Master Liu, I have an immature idea, I don't know if it will be useful"

"Oh? Mr. Yun, but it's okay. If the ideas you put forward are useful, I will ask for credit for you." Liu Fang smiled, but he didn't have too much hope, but his meaning was serious.

Looking at the sky full of ice and snow, Yun Jing said: "Lord Liu, the first thing you need to do when setting up a camp is safety, right? We assume that we will suddenly encounter an enemy attack. In this way, how can we improve our own strength in advance under limited conditions?" Defensive security? Bright and dark whistles can only be used as a warning, and cannot improve defense..."

Speaking of this, Yun Jing paused and continued: "Look, the whole world is full of ice and snow, and the ice and snow are loose and easy to take and shape. Why don't we use it?"

"For example, take some time to collect ice and snow, compact it and build it around the camp, so that you can get a simple wall, which is easy to operate in thickness, height, and height. Although it cannot be compared with the real city wall, the snow-piled city wall can at least resist Some arrows are not. Besides, if water is poured on the snow-covered city wall, it will be hardened quickly in such weather, which will greatly improve the defense power and prevent the invading enemy from climbing over. First, wouldn’t it greatly improve security?”

"This is just an immature idea of ​​mine, and I don't know if it will work, everyone, don't make jokes," Yunjing finally said with a smile.

After hearing this, several people imitated the method Yun Jing said in their minds, their eyes became brighter and brighter, and they looked at Yun Jing full of surprise and admiration.

"Using white snow to build the wall, the snow is everywhere, and the materials and shapes are very simple, and it does not take time and effort. Let alone our people, even an army of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, can use this method to quickly build defenses Fortifications..."

Liu Fang muttered to himself, looking at Yun Jing with burning eyes and said: "This method is very promising. Although the defense of the ice and snow wall is low, there is no better way than this in such a hurry. It is worth promoting by the whole army, Mr. Yun , your method will be of great merit. I will definitely report it to the superior to ask for credit for you. Mr. Yun is a great talent. If this method is promoted to the entire army, it will be no less than sending thousands of troops to the army. No, this method must be reported to the higher authorities. , there is no delay, even if we can't go on this mission, excuse me..."

As he said that, Liu Fang took a deep look at Yunjing, as if looking at a monster, and left in a hurry. Not long after, someone in the camp galloped back.

Yun Jing was stunned, and he just said that, is it necessary to be so exaggerated?

Hou Xicai looked at Yun Jing, opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Yun, your method of casting snow into a wall, you can think of its meaning after a little thought. I want to ask, how did you come up with this method? Why can't I think of it?" Woolen cloth"

"Let's not talk about you and me. For thousands of years, no one thought that Baixue could be used like this!" Lu Wencheng also looked at Yunjing and said in admiration.

Yun Jing, wearing a melon cap, smiled and said, "I'll build a snowman to play with when I was young. I just heard Mr. Liu ask me that, and I suddenly thought of it."

The two of them glanced at each other, Yun Jing's whimsical brain, I really can't compare it, such a simple association, why didn't I think of it, the gap between people is too big, right?
"Mr. Yun, Mr. Lu and Mr. Hou, let's go to the camp. The camp has been set up. The person who reported it has gone. I can come back tomorrow morning and continue to set off. I can't freeze you to death. Your heads are worse than us. It's even precious when you look at it," Liu Fang said with a smile when he came back.

That smile almost cracked to the ear, like getting promoted and getting rich and killing his wife.

Not to mention, if Yun Jing's method is reported to the higher authorities, he might not be able to get promoted...
