Datang New Order

Pingzhou City is about [-] miles away from Yuguan. Li Chengzhong has already planned to start training troops from this [-] miles away.The first thing to train is marching. An army that cannot march continuously has little combat effectiveness.Therefore, he divided the seventy miles into seven sections of ten miles each.

It was still more than an hour before dark, and according to Li Chengzhong's order, all soldiers were issued with weapons, swords and shields, or wooden spears, and officers above the captain had to wear leather helmets and leather armor.Before setting off, he called the nine gang leaders besides Zhao Da to his side and announced his plan for marching tonight.According to the plan, A will form a group of each group and start marching in a hurry. No matter what method is used, they must rush to Xiaosongpo ten miles away before tonight. The first five groups can rest on the spot, and the last four groups must be the first five groups. Brothers cook rice and water.When arriving, the last person in each group shall prevail. As long as one person does not arrive, the whole group will be regarded as absent.

As soon as the plan was announced, the leaders of all the gangs were mobilized, and they were all gearing up, ready to make gestures with each other.Li Chengzhong gave each group an incense stick of time to plan and prepare in advance, and at the same time made an appointment with Feng Dao to meet up at Xiaosongpo before dark.Feng Dao watched the whole process of Li Chengzhong announcing the order with some surprise, and asked in a low voice: "Li Peirong, what should we do if some soldiers escape in the middle?"

Li Chengzhong smiled and said: "If you escape, you will escape. As many people as there are left, Jiadu will take as many people to Yuguan. This is also considered as the second selection."

Feng Dao nodded, without further words, he urged the peasants to drive ahead.Zhao Da set off with the civilian husband camp, because there were only 90 people in Jiadu, he didn't lead the army at all, but continued to do his old job with the title of deputy lieutenant and gang leader.

When the team was assembled again, Li Chengzhong waved his hand and started trotting with Jiang Miao first.All 90 people scattered into a pot of porridge in an instant, and ran out without thinking.Wang Dalang also yelled loudly to compete with Zhong Silang: "Silang, XX is going first, take your time and cook a good meal for XX!" After saying that, he rushed out first.

These soldiers ran wildly to the east, but left Li Chengzhong and Jiang Miao at the end. Jiang Miao was a little anxious and wanted to increase his running speed, but was stopped by Li Chengzhong: "Don't worry, take your time, run at my pace, then Help the bastard for a while and he won't be able to run anymore."

Sure enough, as Li Chengzhong expected, before he ran two miles, he saw some soldiers resting on the side of the road with their waists bent and panting, and some more determined ones, leaning on their wooden spears and moving forward step by step.Li Chengzhong passed these lagging soldiers briskly all the way, and looked back at Jiang Miao, but Jiang Miao still had strength to spare.

When he ran three miles away, he saw Zhong Silang resting at the spot in front of him, and his brothers were all there. Li Chengzhong nodded and continued to overtake.Going forward, Li Chengzhong and Jiang Miao gradually overtook all the gangs, including Meng Xuxing and Jiao Chengqiao, who had all brothers under their command, the civilian convoy that set off first, and many laggard soldiers along the way.

It has to be said that Wang Dalang can really run. Li Chengzhong and Jiang Miao caught up with Wang Dalang who was walking forward step by step while leaning on a wooden spear when Li Chengzhong and Jiang Miao were only a mile away from Xiaosongpo. He is a bare gang leader, and all the brothers of the gang are left behind by him.

Halfway through the run, Jiang Miao couldn't run any longer. Li Chengzhong knew that he had reached the critical point of running, and he would be fine after this point, so he grabbed Jiang Miao and wouldn't let him stop.Sure enough, when he arrived at Xiaosongpo, Jiang Miao's face calmed down, but he kept coughing and panting heavily.

Li Chengzhong picked a branch and waited on the slope of Xiaosong. The first one to arrive was Wang Dalang. Next rest, just let him move around.Jiang Miao had already recovered, and asked Li Chengzhong why he didn't allow others to rest, so he followed suit, breaking off a branch, yelling at the soldiers who arrived afterward to move around, and pulling up those who were lying down to make them stand up. Moving hands and feet. …,

When it was dark, most of the brothers in Jiadu rushed to Xiaosongpo, because Li Chengzhong had requested in advance that the whole gang must be present before counting, so No. 1 was not Wang Dalang's gang, but Meng Xuxing and Jiao Chengqiao. The two guys arrived at the same time.The third team that arrived in full was Zhong Silang's team. He noticed Li Chengzhong's request of "no one left behind", so he would rather sacrifice speed on the road and let two brothers who are not good at running keep up with the team. Arrived at No.3.

Wang Dalang, who was the first to arrive, was very anxious. He stood on the side of the road and kept looking around. Every time he came across a brother from his gang, he went up and kicked him, cursing, "You motherfuckers can't hurry up!" and so on. When Zhong Silang's gang arrived at Xiaosongpo, he was almost out of anger. This anger didn't last long before it turned into discouragement.When it was dark, all the gangs had arrived, except that there were still two people in his gang.

Wang Dalang looked at Li Chengzhong with a sad face, and Li Chengzhong asked coldly: "There are still two? What do you think?"

Wang Dalang gritted his teeth, pulled his feet and walked back and forth.Li Chengzhong looked at the others in his gang, and said: "You just watch the gang leader go find it by yourself? You are really good soldiers!" Those people looked at each other for a while, and then followed Wang Dalang.

Li Chengzhong didn't regard the civilian husband camp as an outsider. On the contrary, he was willing to regard these young men as his own. Therefore, he unceremoniously asked Feng Dao to direct the civilian husbands to start building military tents and unloading food.Feng Dao didn't mind Li Chengzhong ordering him at all, and fully cooperated to keep the peasants busy.Of course, the work of cooking and boiling water was not allowed to be done by the peasants. As a punishment measure, this was reserved for those who ranked after sixth.

There was an uproar on Xiaosongpo, those who arrived first enjoyed the service of those who arrived later, and those who arrived later swore unwillingly, declaring that they would definitely win in the next day's competition.Both sides came and went, laughing and cursing, all kinds of saliva mixed together.

After dinner, it's late at night, and Wang Dalang's men haven't come back yet.Li Chengzhong stood alone on the pine slope, looking at the way he came from, it was still pitch black.After waiting for a while, he looked back and saw the Jiadu brothers standing behind them, also looking in the direction they had come.Li Chengzhong waved his hand and told everyone to return to their tents to rest, while he continued to turn his head and wait.After a while, he turned around again and saw that the brothers were still where they were, and said, "Why don't you go to rest?"

Jiang Miao took a step forward and whispered, "Everyone said we will wait together."

Li Chengzhong nodded, then left it alone, and remained where he was.Suddenly, he saw a torch lighted on the way he came, and he could vaguely see a figure shaking. After waiting for a while, Li Chengzhong finally breathed a sigh of relief. The one who held the torch first was Wang Dalang.Count behind him, the whole group of ten people, all counted.But it turned out that the two people's sense of direction was not very good, and they went astray with everyone.

Seeing that all the brothers were waiting for him, Wang Dalang lowered his head in shame and stepped forward, faltering, "I'm sorry..."

Li Chengzhong nodded, and before he finished speaking, he said first: "Don't say sorry to me, because you, all the brothers have not rested, lead your team, and apologize to all the brothers."

Wang Dalang was about to lead his brothers to apologize one by one, but he was dragged over by the crowd, and hot soup and rice were delivered over in a hurry, and the camp was very lively again.

Li Chengzhong smiled, and ordered Jiang Miao to arrange manpower for the night, but seeing that Feng Dao was not resting, looking at him from the side, he stepped forward and said, "Then what...brother Feng, are you still awake?"

Feng Dao bowed: "Li Peirong, you can call someone Kedao. Li Peirong's subordinates are really close to each other. I heard that they were recruited the day before?"

Li Chengzhong said: "That's right, brother Dao, they were all recruited yesterday. Look, none of them escaped, not bad?"

Feng Dao nodded: "Accompanying the soldiers is skillful, I admire it."

Li Chengzhong chuckled, "What is this? It hasn't started yet." Looking at the brothers Jiadu who were mingled together under the firelight, he felt an indescribable sense of comfort and joy from the bottom of his heart.It's pretty good to be a "company commander", Li Chengzhong smacked his lips, thinking so.

Jiang Miao came over and asked in a low voice, "Li Lang, is it still the same tomorrow? Everyone wants to ask if we can continue the competition."

Li Chengzhong nodded and said, "Of course! What's wrong? Someone doesn't want to compare?"

Jiang Miao shook his head: "They said that it would take half an hour to ask Li Lang to ask for it, and everyone should think about how to move tomorrow." Armor is an officer's frame built by the veterans of the former Jianbing Battalion as the backbone, These guys have been following the rules of the health camp, going to bed at five o'clock every day, and now they want to go to bed later.

Li Chengzhong laughed, "Alright, I'll give everyone half an hour, and sleep in half an hour."

Jiang Miao gave the order to go, and after a while, the lights in each tent were turned on again. Li Chengzhong walked around the small camp, and saw people in every tent, and there were slight discussions from time to time.Finally feeling a little angry, Li Chengzhong nodded in relief.
