Daming kill

Chapter 123 Moving troops to Sheepskin Beach

Throughout the night, Li Ping didn't fall asleep much. He kept tossing and turning on the bed, his mind was in a mess.

He was full of entanglements about where he was going.

Even counting the 200 auxiliary personnel transferred from the support battalion and a large number of non-combatant personnel in the battalion headquarters, he only had about 1700 people (3 platoons with about 110 troops were left behind).And once in battle, what he will have to face is estimated to be tens of thousands of enemies.

Can such a battle be fought?He was worried.

Fear of the unknown and helplessness of unfamiliarity made him feel more and more uncertain.

People are afraid of thinking blindly, and Li Ping had the idea of ​​running away countless times.

After finally surviving until dawn, Li Ping hurriedly got up and started patrolling the camp.When walking through the busy crowd, when stepping into every familiar company, workshop and warehouse, when the ear is constantly receiving a pile of large and small requests, when being forced to think and publish various When giving the order, Li Ping's heart finally began to gradually calm down.

Being busy is the best medicine for solving problems.

And the troops that executed military orders mechanically also gave him a lot of confidence. Li Ping was familiar with them and understood them. They might be immature, but they would not be easily defeated.

Of course, Li Ping also noticed that the atmosphere was very different from usual. Tension and anxiety inevitably appeared on the faces of most people, and various problems that were not seen often began to appear frequently and intensively.

There was a dispute between the two companies over a carriage. A platoon leader was impatiently reprimanding a soldier who made a small mistake. A logistics officer looked at the things scattered on the ground and was worried. The signal soldiers of the battalion headquarters Out of breath like a swarm of headless chickens delivering endless orders...

The morale of the army is floating, and the hearts of most people are fluctuating.

But Li Ping also believes that such a situation is normal, and within the controllable range, there is no need to panic.

Most people are mortals. Facing war for the first time, those who can take it calmly are rare. They need encouragement and adaptation.

What Li Ping can do is to make his voice louder, make his laughter more hearty, appear where everyone can see, find more things for them to do, and let everyone feel that he is with him. We are always together and give more tolerance to all who go wrong...

After lunch, Zhou Wen planned to use the short break after the meal to pack his bags, but Han Jiu came to him again.

Han Jiu had no business to do, but just wanted Zhou Wen to accompany him for a walk.

"Old Zhou, aren't you nervous?" Han Jiu looked at Zhou Wen who was always calm and asked strangely.

"How can you not be nervous? But what's the use of thinking about it, just do what you can do now." Zhou Wen said calmly.

"I've been in a mess in my heart, and I don't know why?" Han Jiu was distressed to himself.

"Are you scared?" Zhou Wen asked without turning around.

"I'm afraid, how is it possible! I'm not afraid. I have suffered all the way from Henan, I have seen all kinds of battles, and I have killed people. There is nothing terrible." Han Jiu said without hesitation.

"I haven't fought a war, let alone killed anyone. It's a lie to say I'm not afraid, but since I chose to join the army, this day will come sooner or later. The first life, the second time acquaintance, there must be a beginning." Zhou Wen felt self-deprecating. road.

He didn't talk to Han Jiu about such rhetoric as if a man should cut his sword straight away, and he didn't say anything polite like "you only need to die for the country on the battlefield, so why return the corpse in a horse leather shroud".

It is impossible for him not to be anxious about the unfamiliar battlefield, he just keeps forcing himself to be more calm, especially in front of Han Jiu, Zhou Wen wants to be more real.

"I'm afraid I won't be familiar with it for the second time!" Han Jiu answered abruptly.

Zhou Wen turned his head and gave Han Jiu a meaningful look, and then said jokingly: "You don't have confidence! You are afraid that Zuo Zongbing will lose again, what should you do? After all, he has already lost once more than half a year ago. Okay Life is not easy!"

Han Jiu was shocked by what he said. He stared at Zhou Wen with wide eyes and said, "Old Zhou, why are you so accurate? You are really a bug in my stomach."

"A bandit army is a bandit army after all. The hardships you have been trained for these few months are not for nothing! How can a thousand-year-old city like Xiangyang be easily breached." Zhou Wen cheered up Han Jiu, although he I am also very emboldened.

Zhang Xianzhong destroyed Xiangyang last year with a thousand people, but he still remembers it vividly.

"Old Zhou, you have never been in Henan. You don't know how famous King Chuang is. He has fought all the way, and many officials and troops have lost. We are going to fight this time. I am afraid that we will die. I, Han Jiu, am not afraid of death, but When I think of so many brothers and I don’t know how much they can survive, I feel very uncomfortable." Han Jiu obviously did not trust Zhou Wen, he had his own judgment.

This time Zhou Wen bowed his head in silence for a while, then raised his head and looked at Han Jiu seriously and said, "Old Han, let's do our best and obey the destiny!"

----

At the same time, in a corner of the security camp, there were several men and women gathered around and talking seriously, and everyone was making their own choices.

"I went to look for Song Yingguan and said, if we go with you, we can take care of each other." Yang Ming said loudly.

"You are a frail scholar, how can you take care of me! Swords and guns have no eyes, I'm going to repay the favor, and you just stay here to help take care of the little sister and them." Yuan Yeweng returned angrily.

When Yang Ming heard this, he stood up immediately, and he said in a rather agitated and stern voice: "You know how to repay your kindness, and my sage book is not a waste of time. Saving me is like being in trouble, and this kindness should be remembered. Now we are in danger. , It is time to serve the court again, so it is natural to do what you can.

Brother Kuang and the others are enough to have Brother Zhang and Brother Ma, but it is shameful to say that I will take care of them.The last time my younger sister and sister-in-law were taken into captivity because I failed to take care of them well, every time I recall this, my heart feels like a knife and I regret it endlessly.If you don't go to serve in the army with your former brothers this time, even if you can't help anything else, you can always use what you have learned in your life as a counselor. "

"Mr. Yukun, no one blamed you for what happened last time. It's over, don't blame yourself every now and then. Don't say you weren't around at the time, but if you were around, what can you do with so many thieves? You hurt your own life." Qian Ying, a beautiful woman standing beside her, immediately comforted her.

"Decided?" Zhang Qing, who was sitting next to him, ignored what the others said, and just stared at Yuan Ye after a long silence.

It turned out that these men and women were none other than Zhang Qing, Shouhou'er, Zhang Ying and others who fled here all the way from Kaifeng.

At the beginning, facing the unforeseen chaos in Xiangyang, they wanted to continue going east.But unfortunately, the wilderness that had never been to the south was infected with miasma (malaria), so they had to continue hiding in the mountains to treat it.

Jia Langzhong, who was traveling with him, used herbs picked from the mountains to treat the disease for a few days, not only did not see any improvement, but it became more and more serious.As a last resort, Zhang Qing and Shouhou'er went out together to find a way to find better medicine.

Since Jia Langzhong had to take care of Yuan Ye, Zhang Ying and her sister-in-law Qian Ying had to be taken care of by Yang Ming.

The person named Yang Ming and named Yukun was a scholar they rescued on the way to flee south, a scholar who lost all his family members.On the day Malan was rescued back to the wilderness, he was the frail man who stood behind Malan in the shack and laughed with him.

But I never thought that something unexpected happened after Zhang Qing and Shouhou'er left.

It turned out that when Zhang Ying and her sister-in-law Qian Ying went to the stream not far away to wash their tattered clothes and hair, they encountered a group of officers and soldiers who went hunting in the mountains to find game to eat, and they should have followed behind them all the time. Yang Ming, who was in charge, happened to be at odds with where he was, and as a result, both of them were taken into captivity.

Afterwards, according to Yang Ming, he suddenly had a stomachache. He was anxious to be respectful (large) and afraid of being indecent, so he walked a little farther to find a more secluded place, so he failed to discover the danger in time. Also failed to save.

And Zhang Ying and her sister-in-law didn't want to let the bandit-like officers and soldiers know that there were relatives and friends nearby, so they didn't call for help.

This is also the story behind it.

"En." Yuan Ye nodded seriously to Zhang Qing's question.

Then he explained: "I have helped them raise horses for the past few days, and I know that they really don't have anyone who is good at raising horses. The war is about to start, and Company Commander Ma is worried, so he came to discuss with me and asked me to help. Look after the horses of the Scout Company. He saved me, and I couldn't resist."

"You decide, and I won't stop it. Chief of Staff Ma is the brother of Company Commander Ma, and he will meet again in the future, just be careful. As for Mr. Yukun, don't join in the fun, it's really messed up, the wilderness is still here I have to think about saving you, but it's easy to get away." Zhang Qing said without doubt.

"I...I..." After Yang Ming groaned a few times, under Zhang Qing's staring gaze, he finally didn't say anything.

"I'm going with the army. They lack a doctor. I also want to learn more. I can take care of myself. They have already confirmed with me. I will leave tomorrow morning." Jia Langzhong suddenly said firmly. He obviously had an early decision Certainly.

Everyone raised their heads to look at Jia Langzhong, obviously not aware of the news that he was going to join the army, but in the end, no one said anything, only Yuanye nodded to Langzhong Jia Youliang with a smile.

……

Under the scorching sun, Lieutenant General Hui Deng was riding horses with a few personal soldiers to patrol along the south bank of the Han River west of Xiangyang. He wanted to familiarize himself with the surrounding geographical environment and figure out the key points of his troops' garrison.

The war is approaching, and the civilians around here are being cleared, and scattered small groups of troops can be seen from time to time between the road and the wilderness.

They were chaotic and noisy, both frightened and excited, and many of them carried the assorted objects they had just looted on their shoulders, and the crying of the woman was mixed in.

Whedon was a little sad and confused, and he had an indescribable feeling about the coming war.He clearly knew something that many people didn't know, but it made him even more anxious.

At this time, a long snake shadow in the distance slowly entered his field of vision. He knew that it was an army marching, but the strangeness of this army made him stop and watch from afar.

It was a silent army, an army with unusually neat steps. Although there were infantry, cavalry, and chariots, and there were very few flags, there was no mess from front to back, which was very different. To any army he saw, including his own.

This army is so out of tune with everything around it.

Slowly, as the distance between the two sides continued to narrow, Prime Minister Hui Deng gradually became shocked. He had never seen such a military appearance in his life.As an old soldier, he immediately judged that this was a strong and powerful army.

Knowing the army by looking at it, Whedon believes that he will not make mistakes.

But where did this powerful army come from? He has never heard of it, which is really inconceivable.

After a long time, a soldier who was sent to inquire came back and reported: "General Qi, this army is the guerrilla Li Ping's department and is going to Yangpitan to fortify."

Prime Minister Hui Deng was greatly surprised, and blurted out: "Yangpitan is safe!"

But soon, he became confused again, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "It's really a miracle that Zongbing Fang didn't boast randomly this time..."
