Xiliang Iron Cavalry

"However, when we walked out of the desert that time, there were only two people left in the team of more than fifty people."

Jia Rong nodded and said: "Well, Zhang Wu, if you can pass through the desert safely this time, there will be a lot of rewards, and then you won't have to worry about the rest of your life." Only with kindness and power can people work hard for you.

The guide's name was Zhang Wu, who Jia Rong found from Pujie County with experience in crossing the desert.

"Last time, the villain encountered a bigger storm than this, which caused almost all of our team to die, and the rest of the people seemed to disappear out of thin air, without any trace." Referring to this matter, Zhang Wu There are still some lingering fears.

Jia Rong smiled calmly and said firmly, "That's because you don't have the right method. Don't worry, we will definitely be able to get out of the desert."

Everyone couldn't help but straighten their bodies, unswervingly believing that Jia Rong was the belief of all soldiers all the time, and followed Jia Rong all the way to the desert beyond the horizon without any regrets.

"Pack up your things and get ready to go." Jia Rong ordered.

The weather in the desert is hot during the day, but extremely cold at night. According to Jia Rong’s estimation, it can reach below zero, and the temperature difference between day and night is too large. At this time, Jia Rong’s strict order that every soldier must carry bedding has an effect. Soldiers in groups of three or four gather together , to resist the cold weather together, the night is better, and the daytime is the most difficult time.

After walking into the desert for only five days, Jia Rong realized that no one could survive if he continued walking like this. The human body is mainly composed of water. If you don’t drink water for a long time, you will become dehydrated. One-third of the water has been consumed. According to this rate, the group will stay in the desert forever.

"All soldiers are ordered to drink water, but anyone who drinks water privately will be killed!" Jia Rong's order was quickly passed on.

The hot sun accelerated the evaporation of water, and marching under the scorching sun made the soldiers' water consumption faster. The reason why they marched hard-workingly was all out of trust in Jia Rong.

"Is there any good way, if this goes on, the water will be drunk soon." Jia Rong asked Zhang Wu who turned to the side.

Zhang Wu smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Is there any water source near here?" Jia Rong calmed down his restless emotions, and then asked.

Zhang Wudao: "General, how dare the villain stop too much when he crossed the desert, even if the route we are taking now is still based on the villain's original impression."

The hard thinking was fruitless, and Zhang Wu didn't know how to solve it. Zhang Wu stopped at the original plan to confirm the direction, and the team set off again.

Among many people, Zhang Wu was chosen as the guide of the team. The main reason was that Zhang Wu had a Sinan in his hand, which could guide the team and prevent the team from getting lost in the desert. In contrast, Jia Rong believed in science more, three points Intimidating seven-point gravity makes Zhang Wu lead the way across the desert.

There is no good way to solve the water source problem, so Jia Rong had to shake his head and join the marching team again. After losing the carriage, Ma Teng's family members and Wei Fu all chose to walk, but Wei Fu's injuries had just been stabilized. One of the few war horses was given to her, and Jia Rong acted as a groom. One person, one horse, and one team walked in the desert step by step.

Using war horses as a means of transportation in the desert has never been a long-term solution. Horseshoes often get stuck in the soft sand, making it extremely difficult to move.

In a few days, the horses died one by one, and this team called Xiliang cavalry became infantry. After the horses died, the blood of the horses was released for everyone to drink. In the eyes of Wei Fu and Ma Teng's family, the blood was extremely bloody. Jia Rong took the lead in drinking the horse's blood.

At critical moments, keeping one's life alive is the most important thing, especially the lone wolf soldiers are well versed in this. When they went deep into the deep mountains and old forests for training, tree roots, small grass and wild ditch water were the capital to keep their lives alive.

Looking at Ma Chao's face covered in blood, Jia Rong wiped it lovingly for him, and said loudly, "Pack up the remaining horse blood, don't waste it."

The horse meat of the war horse was also sun-dried and carried on the body, and the old companions became dry food in the mouth. Many soldiers showed painful expressions. On the battlefield, the war horse was their best partner, and they killed their companions with their own hands. , and then drink its blood and eat its flesh, the feeling can be imagined.

"Brother, why do we have to travel during the day, the night is so cold, isn't it a good time for us to travel?" Wei Fu walked to Jia Rong's side and persuaded softly.

After hearing Wei Fu's suggestion, Jia Rong's eyes lit up, and he was pleasantly surprised: "It's wonderful, it's wonderful, just in Fu'er's words." He only thought about finding the water source, and forgot to save himself.

Seeing blood dripping from Jia Rong's chapped lips due to excitement, Wei Fu couldn't bear to say, "Brother, drink some water?" After speaking, Wei Fu handed her water bag in front of Jia Rong.

Jia Rong shook his head and rejected Wei Fu, "Drink, Fuer, I'm not thirsty."

Wei Fu was still waiting to persuade, but Jia Rong stopped him and said, "Fu'er take a good rest, I'm going to tell the soldiers to rest."

It is used for traveling at night, and the marching team is light again. They don't need to carry heavy bedding, thick cotton clothes, furs and other things to keep out the cold, and only keep some clothes and water.

The soldiers of the former Xiliang Army had no objection to marching in the desert, which does not mean that the soldiers of Ma Teng's tribe did not. Although the Xiliang Army gave them hope for the future, it also brought them into the desert, a place where birds don't shit. The most frightening thing is the sandstorm just after entering the desert, which is still fresh in my memory. I saw my companions around me being taken away by the wind and sand. The fear cannot be expressed in words. Considering Jia Rong's position in the army, they are just Dare to be angry and dare not speak, but endure silently.

However, Jia Rong ordered the whole army to drink water on time and as much as possible, which completely aroused their dissatisfaction, and they were too thirsty to hurry.

Ma Teng understands the quality of the soldiers under his command, and keeps going back and forth between the troops to persuade them. It is so difficult to have an elite army of hundreds of battles. Ma Teng has always thought that his ability to lead troops is good, and it is not difficult to restore the glory of his ancestors. Only after comparing with the Xiliang army can he understand the gap between the two.

Jia Rong's order was quickly conveyed. Letting the soldiers rest during the day can reduce the loss of water in the body to a greater extent. The weather is colder at night, and the marching speed of the team must be faster. Under the stimulation of the cold, the soldiers accelerated Heating by exercising can also save water, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone, and the speed of marching has been greatly improved.

This move won unanimous praise from the team. When Jia Rong told everyone about Wei Fu, the inventor of this method, everyone had to look at Wei Fu with admiration. It will only be seen as a bad behavior. If Jia Rong came up with this method, everyone can accept it for granted, but Wei Fu is different.

And Jia Rong, an alternative from the future world, has seen too many female champions in the college entrance examination. , the relationship between Jia Rong and Wei Fu is already known to everyone, and no one wants to offend the future mistress.

Wei Fu blushed and said in a low voice: "That's what I said at the time, it's mainly due to your general." Ai Wujiu, Wei Fu did not hesitate to put the credit on Jia Rong.

Jia Rong waved his hand and said: "As long as the method is practical, it doesn't matter who said it, you can also put forward good suggestions. If the method is good, the general will reward you a lot."

Everyone agreed one after another, whispering and discussing with each other.

Not to mention, these people really put forward a lot of good suggestions. One soldier said that when the wind and sand came, he would use ropes to tie everyone together, which won praise.

Rewarding meritorious deeds and punishing them is a principle that the Xiliang Army has always adhered to. Everyone from the general to the ordinary soldiers knows this rule, and the Xiliang Army has stricter inspection measures. penalty.

Therefore, on the battlefield, soldiers don't have to worry about not being rewarded for their meritorious service.

This soldier belonged to Ma Teng's department, and was immediately promoted by Jia Rong to be the chief. He jumped from an ordinary soldier to the chief, which surprised the soldiers. The dissatisfaction they had been running around for many days disappeared, and the other soldiers saw this. , One after another put forward ideas, and no one wants to be successful.

Traveling day and night greatly increased the speed of marching, but the amount of drinking water for soldiers was still limited to the greatest extent. Every time they drank water, they would only take a small sip when they couldn't hold on anymore. It was bland and tasteless on weekdays. Fresh water has become the best delicacy in the mouth of the people, but the amount of each time is also limited. If you don't drink a bag of water according to the regulations, you will be severely punished.

Of course, now that soldiers drink water separately, the punishment is not as severe as beheading. Water is linked to the lives of soldiers. Jia Rong believes that everyone will make fun of their own lives.

There is no shortage of dried meat in the army, but the biggest shortage is water.

Each soldier has a water bag, and the water in it is strictly ordered how many times to drink, and a special person in the team is responsible for supervising it.

Jia Rong, as the chief general of an army, set an example. He would never take a sip of water until it was time to drink. He was so thirsty that he couldn’t do it anymore. He licked his dry lips and gritted his teeth again. There is no exception. Jia Rong's style dispelled the impetuous emotions of many soldiers.

This kind of march was cruel. Three soldiers couldn't bear the feeling of thirst and drank all the water in the water bag. What surprised Jia Rong most was that one of these soldiers was a former soldier of the Xiliang Army.

After knowing this, Jia Rong turned around and came to the side of the three soldiers, and said in a low voice: "The Xiliang Army has always followed orders and prohibitions. Didn't your generals teach you?"

Without exception, all three soldiers lowered their heads and their faces were flushed. They were found to be thirsty because they couldn't stand the thirst and borrowed water from the soldiers next to them.
