Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Walking through the foggy water in the early morning, even if it has entered the summer, you can still feel the cold air. Somehow the birds in the woods were startled, and jumped out of the treetops with a "quack" like flying away in the air. Guo Shao couldn't help looking sideways, only to see a black spot gradually disappearing into the dust and fog. Then the surrounding area calmed down, only the small sound of metal clinking and the sound of footsteps.

Looking back, a long line of people walked forward slowly in a single line, never seeing the head and the end. The sky was just getting dark, and people nearby did not say a word, walking silently; I started preparing in the early morning, and it was almost dawn after we set off. Although the road ahead is a small road, but you can ride slowly, Guo Shao rides on the horse, and there is a soldier leading the horse in front.

Guo Shao knocked on the trees on the hillside by the side of the road from time to time, and occasionally found a fork-shaped mark cut out by a knife and axe on the trunk. It was a mark made by the scout before, so that the army forwards led the way to the wrong path and can be found in time; The person who led the way has walked this path several times and should not go wrong. The prevention is that the light at night is not good and the surrounding terrain can not be used as a reference, and it is very likely to go the wrong way. This road has not been opened and repaired by the official post road. It is just a combination of some natural trails. The winding roads often have diversions, which are not comparable to the Shu roads.

It was indeed an adventure, but Guo Shao couldn't directly feel scared, probably because there were a large group of people together, it was easy to paralyze the nerves when there were more people. He feels that people are easily influenced by those around them.

The road was narrow and walked a bit slowly. The army set off before dawn, and walked to Baishui Road until the sunset on the west mountain. Baishui Road is sixty miles away from Guzhen, that is, everyone walks for sixty miles all day long without interruption. The previous ones stopped one after another, and everyone started drinking cold water and eating wheat cakes. After eating, continue on the road, without camping or resting...According to the original combat plan, he would have to travel more than ninety miles in one breath, and he would not stop until he reached Shu Road.

This section of Baishui Road is difficult to walk. There is a long stretch of road winding up the hillside, and no one has invested in the construction of guardrails. If you accidentally fall down the mountain, I am afraid you will probably die. Guo Shao didn't dare to ride a horse anymore, and asked someone to lead the horse and walk carefully.

Everyone started to light a torch, some of them put tung oil in a bamboo tube and stuffed it with grass, or some pine branches to light it. The road is really not easy to follow, in order to march overnight, I have to ignore the concealment. Guo Shao had a thought in his mind, the world martial arts will not break soon, even if the Shu army knows that I am going to cut their retreat, they can only be anxious if they cannot catch up.

Walking one hundred miles from the rugged road day and night, this has exceeded Guo Shao's knowledge of the ancient army. But right now, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this unit... Everyone walks slowly, and doesn't make much noise. Some people may have bubbles on their feet, but they seem to be able to bear it.

The strengths of professional soldiers who have been fighting for a long time, although they are not easy to control and often cause pressure on the upper ranks, they are easy to use...No theory, guidance and belief are required. As long as soldiers are not from rascals, good families know The vast majority of people in this era can only eat chaffy vegetables, and they have to be tough to eat and survive. After walking for a whole day, Guo Shao gradually understood his thoughts. Everyone was fighting for thousands of miles with their heads on their heads.

One's own private affairs cannot be private, at least for a small number of generals; if Guo Shao loses his future, Yang Biao and other generals will have to follow suit. This is also the reason why everyone heard that Guo Shao was promoted and was also happy. It should not be pretended to be flattering...In this world, life is worthless, and the soldiers who crazily climbed the wall in Fengzhou City were just for someone to appreciate. Opportunity is fighting for life.

In the middle of the night, the army finally reached the Shu Road.

Guo Shao himself was already yawning and fell asleep while standing. The surrounding torches were bright and there were flares of fire, and there were a lot of bonfires burning up and down on both sides of the hillside; all sides were busy, and Li Chuyun's department, who had arrived by the forward, was building fortifications overnight.

Guo Shao turned on his horse, went to the front to find Li Chuyun, and asked a few words. Li Chuyun said, "The North and South have sent scouts out, but they haven't come back yet."

"Just build a barrier at will. Soldiers need to nurture their spirits to fight. Order the soldiers to rest on the spot without disarming." Guo Shao said.

The generals led the sergeants to pass the order, and everyone lay down on the muddy ground. For a while, people lay all over the mountains and plains, like corpses that had just gone through a battle. I didn't sleep well last night, and walked until midnight tonight. Everyone was too tired...Walking for 100 miles with a continuous load, anyway, Guo Shao has traveled at most ten miles in modern society and can get his legs sore.

Guo Shao sat beside a fire, dozed off for a while, and was woken up after being lost for some time.

He opened his eyes and saw that the sky was still dark, and the night was dotted with countless stars. Luo Yan said in a ring: "A few people returned from both the north and the south, and the Shu army was not seen within ten miles; the remaining scouts continued to search far away."

Early the next morning, there was still no movement. Zhou Jun then built some huts in the open area of ​​Shu Road and deployed troops.

Everyone doesn't have to raise the fire to cook food. They only eat dry food and then salt and drink river water. They don't even have hot water because they don't bring a pot. A large group of people sat in their respective camps to bask in the sun, and people from each commander carried wooden barrels to the Jialing River to fetch water. Although this Shu Road is not easy to follow, it is a natural marching route. There are rivers along the way, and the water source does not need to be considered.

At this moment, a few people on horseback ran over from the north road, looked straight at the Chinese Army flag, and rushed to Guo Shao before dismounting. A sergeant clasped his fist and said: "A small group of Shu army was found at a distance of about 20 miles to the north, no more than 300 people at the most; we touched the forest on the flanks and found a large number of people from the Shu army 30 miles away. It’s not bright, you can't see clearly but there may be thousands of people watching the torch.

After Guo Shao listened, the generals looked at each other. After a little calculation, the Baishui Path that the Shu Army might know about the day before yesterday afternoon, from the day before yesterday afternoon to now, they have reinforced the main force southward for fifty miles...

Guo Shao stood up ~www.readwn.com~ and took a look at the surrounding terrain. The Shu Road and Jialing River extend to the northeast together, and the Jialing River is rushing; the terrain on the other side of the river is relatively gentle. Here are all mountains to the northwest.

He immediately said: "Command the troops in two to stay here to block possible reinforcements from Xingzhou; scouts are looking for places to cross the river along the river. The main force is approaching the Shu army in the northeast direction." After that, he looked at Li Chuyun.

Li Chuyun said: "This is very appropriate."

The army received military orders one after another, and began to march in sequence. The road is much wider now, and the army formation is still arranged in four rows, and a large number of infantry are hiding behind the scattered rangers.

Advancing to noon, the scout reported again that the two groups of Shu troops turned around and retreated north. Guo Shao did not make any changes, and everyone continued to push along the road. Luo Yanhuan said, "This time I see where they can go and turn the green mud ridge to Cheng and Feng site?" The army burst into laughter.

Along the way, I found the camp where the Shu army had been stationed. Some iron pots and debris were thrown on the side of the road in a mess. General Zhou Jun picked it up and used it to boil hot water. According to people's life experience, drinking too much raw water is easy to ruin the stomach, and if it can be boiled, people are generally willing to raise fire to boil water.

Approaching the evening, there was still no Shu army. There may be some rangers ahead, but they were dispelled by the scouts in front of the Zhou army a long time ago, and neither Guo Shao nor Shu soldiers in the army had seen them.

Guo Shao and Li Chuyun rode forward, chose a wide area, and ordered the ministries to build fences and build camps after they arrived. Tomorrow another long walk, don't worry, it should definitely go to war with the Shu army. Because the Shu army had no way to go, they could only fight behind Qingniling.

The soldiers understood that the time to go into battle was coming. In the evening, many people were wiping knives and guns, checking bows and arrows, giving the atmosphere before the battle. Walk two hundred miles in a few days just to fight this one.
