After traveling through time, I took command and led the troops to conquer the mountains and rivers.

Chapter 20 Find another shortcut
It was the first time that Yu Jia cursed in front of several people, and it was also the first time that he lost his composure.

No wonder Lin Gongxun and the two of them had weird smiles on their faces, they were waiting for them here!
No wonder those veterans ran so fast!
Although it is autumn now, wild animals will not hibernate.

But now there are more than 300 people in the Pioneer Battalion, and resources are still limited. If they travel at the speed they are going, they may not even be able to see the hair of wild animals!

Before departure, everyone was given a simple map of Sangcuo Mountain. Yu Jia spread it on the ground and pointed to a location on it.

"We are at this location now, and the closest place to us is a river."

Chang Haier was overjoyed, "We can catch fish!"

Yu Jia shook his head, "What we can think of, others will naturally think of it too!"

Everyone goes to the river to catch fish. If there are too many fish but few fish, and the resources are unevenly distributed, then conflicts will arise.

No wonder this time it was explicitly forbidden to bring weapons. Originally, everyone thought it might be because they were afraid that they would take weapons for hunting.

Now that I think about it, I was afraid that they would get into a fight and injure someone seriously!

"We can only think about what others don't think. After this river, the mountain on the left suddenly becomes steeper."

"We don't want to waste our energy, so let's go here!"

With a "pop" sound, Yu Jia stood up from the ground.

"Gou Sheng, Chang Hai'er, get up quickly, we have to move forward so that we can have food!"

Gou Sheng immediately stood up and followed Yu Jia's footsteps. Chang Hai'er followed with a sad face and didn't say anything at all!
The three of them are the oldest, but he puts Yu Jia first in everything. Chang Haier has long been convinced by Jia, so Yu Jia is the team leader.

The three of them left the road and headed towards the rugged path.

"Report!"

Lin Gongxun was leisurely playing chess with Jin Peng'an. He didn't even raise his head when he heard someone came to report.

"Say!"

"Boss, most of the people gathered towards the river, only a small number of people deviated from the main force."

"Oh?" This caught Lin Gongxun's attention, "Who is it?"

"There are a few people led by Cheng Yuanbao and Lin Erzhu!"

Lin Gongxun picked up a chess piece and said, "Lin Erzhu?"

"Although this kid is not good at military skills, he is very good at long-distance marching. If he doesn't join our vanguard camp, he will be one of the best in the infantry camp!"

Jin Pengan paused and continued.

"When I went to the hut of the infantry camp yesterday, Lao Gao somehow found out about Lin Erzhu, but he can't forget this boy!"

Jin Peng'an saw that Lin Gongxun was still thinking to himself. He wanted to pick up a piece secretly.

Before he could succeed, Lin Gongxun grabbed him and said, "Old Jin, you are not being honest. I can only take the things that belong to me, so how can anyone else take them?"

The mountain becomes steeper and steeper, and this path is not only covered with thorns, but even the stones under your feet will loosen from time to time.

Wherever the rocks fell, there were endless vines as far as the eye could see.

"Brother Erzhu, do you think there is anything to eat here?"

Chang Haier pulled at the branches around him and walked for such a long time without even seeing a shadow of a toad!

Yu Jia ducked down and let out a "shush" sound, which frightened Chang Haier and crouched down quickly.

"Here it comes!" Gou Sheng was excitedly gearing up, and he could already hear the sharp sound of wings.

Pulling open the thorns on the left hand side, following the sound, I saw a dozen pheasants with brightly colored fur and plump bodies!
"We don't have the tools at hand, so we can only rely on the most brutal method!"

Gou Sheng's crossbow was very well practiced. He sat down on the spot, found a soft but elastic branch as a bow string, and cut a wooden stick to make a simple crossbow.

Yu Jia left a thorn branch with her bare hands. The cross-section was extremely sharp, and she handed it to Gou Sheng.

"Is this okay?"

Gou Sheng nodded, as if he had found his home court.

"Just watch it!"

The dog was seen kneeling on one leg and resting on the ground with the other, quickly drawing the bow and shooting an arrow.

With a "whoosh" sound, the thorn strips cut through the sky. Under the hopeful gazes of a few people, they fell to the ground halfway. The frightened pheasants ran towards each other. The scene is a bit embarrassing
The simple crossbow finally couldn't bear the pull of Gou Sheng and stopped early.

Although the "bow and arrow" were sent out, they still did not reach their destination.

"What about that? A failed father is a successful wife. Let's keep up the good work!"

Chang Haier looked for a suitable branch again, and Yu Jia patted Gou Sheng on the shoulder.

"Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. Let's do it again!"

Gou Sheng moved his sore knees and continued to make crossbows.

After the first failure, Gou Sheng fixed the branches and sticks used as bow strings with vines, and he confidently set up his bow and shot again.

"Grandpa can definitely do it this time!"

With a "whoosh" sound, the sharp arrow pierced the sky again and hit a thin pheasant with white spots on a black background that was a little slow to react.

"Oh!" Chang Hai'er jumped up excitedly and ran towards the trophy.

He picked up the trophy that was shot in the chest and ran towards the two of them happily, "Still alive!"

Gou Sheng kept up his efforts and shot several more arrows in one breath, hitting the target again and again!

Chang Haier obviously has more experience in dealing with wild animals.

According to what he said, he grew up naked in the mountains, and blind bears had to call him dad when they came.

Soon the fragrant roast chicken was ready. Although it didn't have any condiments, it was much more delicious than the beef buns in Maokeng.

The three of them hunted a lot of wild animals. Since there were still three days to go, they decided to bake them and take them away.

I didn’t stop until I had roasted five or six pheasants!

The food rations were sorted out, and the next step was to get on the road.

The rising fire was covered with stones and they continued to move forward.

There was already a fight on the river bank to catch fish.

Mainly the conflicts between new and old veterans.

Everyone's preconceptions were subjective. The leaders all hated the people who came from Jizhou Military Camp, and they naturally followed suit.

Although the recruits from Jizhou Military Camp were selected because of their ability in business, they were still not enough in front of the battle-hardened veterans.

"Why do you snatch my fish?" A thin soldier shouted loudly. This was the fish he had just stuck with a branch.

"Why? Just because you are a weakling!" He was arrogant, but every word was precise.

New recruits can only suffer the consequences of being dumb. Veterans stick together, but new recruits are not united and can only be beaten!

Everyone was fighting fiercely by the river, and those with sharp eyes had already seen the thick smoke rising from the steep part of the cliff.

"Brother Wu, look at that!" Brother Wu was the one who snatched the new soldier fish just now, and he called him Wu Kui.

"If someone raises a cigarette, that means they've found something to eat! Give me the map!"

Suddenly someone handed the map to Wu Kui.

Seeing the intersection of land not far away, he smiled openly and wantonly, and the scar from the eyebrow bone of his left eye to the bridge of his nose was still conspicuous.

"Brothers, let's go eat ready-made!"

The head of the room, Hai'er, was talking nonstop about his great achievements as a child.

"Do you know? Our nuggets are full of treasures. Even the grass you trip over on the road may be used as medicine!"

"I tell you, if someone calls your name on your bedside in the middle of the night, you must not agree!"

Then he asked the two of them with a mysterious look: "Do you know why?"

"Why?" Yu Jiajia cheered.

"That's a yellow-skinned kid who's always willing to kill himself, Huang Xian'er!"

　Can it be difficult for our Iron Triangle?
