Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 628
Combat strength cannot be developed instantly, and even one or two ceremonies can hardly make the people of the time win a big victory.

In a ceremony, the soldiers roared and vented, and the basic formation could not be maintained in the end. One by one, they swayed or lay down on the school field, and were kicked, beaten and scolded by the commander, but they were no longer the neat and clear formation at the beginning. attitude.Their past experience and cognition can't make them realize the meaning of this ceremony. Even the rant just now is just a hysterical vent. Although they feel different, but what is the difference, say no clear.

The chaotic situation on the school ground made Hu Run and other generals around Shen Zhezi feel quite embarrassed.They had made a lot of preparations for this military exercise before, especially in the process of queuing up the guard of honor, in order to get an amazing start.The whole process of becoming a teacher, oath and banner military ceremony has been rehearsed many times, but I didn't expect that it would still be a complete mess when things came to an end.

This is really unacceptable to Hu Run and others who want to repay the favor of the master.

Seeing the chaotic formation in the school field and the soldiers crumbling here and there, all the generals took a step forward to plead guilty, but Shen Zhezi spoke first: "Victory is the only way to eat, not only the soldiers encourage each other, but also all of you should engrave it in your heart. The strength of the army Appearance is a small matter. Shi Shilong's generation, the worst villain among slaves, took advantage of the chaos and ravaged the world, and the beasts showed off. All the people with crowns and belts, how can they be so embarrassing! Firewood, burn this body fiercely, and share it with all of you to burn the thieves!"

"Fight hard in the future, and enjoy a victory with the general!"

After hearing the words, everyone looked at each other for a while, and then shouted in unison.

Although the slogan of strength was chanted and the morale was boosted, when the army was actually dispatched, this army, which Shen Zhezi proposed as the victory army, had not been incorporated into the official main force sequence.Although they also followed the army to set off formally, they still served as a backup escort to transport food and supplies.

The reason why a bugle was drafted was not because Shen Zhezi wanted to be unconventional, but because it was related to the subsequent adaptation of the Yuzhou Army as a whole.The specific measure is a Jiagong food system derived from the Jiatian Order. The army is no longer entrusted to a specific location, but to break free from geographical restrictions and roam around for food.Of course, this Quartet is currently only limited to a corner of Yuzhou, but the scope will definitely be greatly expanded in the future!

Yu Yi led the main force from Ruxukou, and Shen Zhezi would also march straight north to join forces with Du He in Tuzhong.Yu Yi is in charge of guarding the main town of Liyang. Although the possibility of frontal attack on the town is very small, Yu Yi's task is not easy. With the development of the war in the direction of Chaohu Lake, we are ready to rush to help Juchao from Dongxing west of Liyang at any time.

Chen Gui, Ji You and others in Shen Zhezi's department stayed behind, waiting to escort the food and grass that was transferred from Poyang.

Soon, Shen Zhezi led the front team to set off. In addition to his own elite team of more than a thousand troops, there were nearly two thousand people from Lu Yong's team, plus two battalions of scouts led by Shen Mu.In addition to the official soldiers, the successors still have a part of the grain, grass, supplies and armaments carried by small boats.

Not far from Liyang to the north, there is a piece of hilly land. From the south to the top, Hanshan, Gaoling, Wanqiu, etc., extend to the Dabie Mountains.The so-called Huaiyou is mountainous, although there are not many military key points that tightly control the Quartet, but according to the current transportation situation and the surrounding supply environment, it still adds a lot of trouble to the military dispatch in the region.

Because there is no rush or strong opponent on the road ahead, Shen Zhezi's troops are not moving fast.Of course, the most important thing is that you can’t go too fast if you want to. The advantage of crossing the river during the rainy season is that there are waterways extending in all directions to rely on.

When Shen Zhezi's troops first set out on the road, there was still Hengjiangpu, a branch of Dajiang, to rely on, so the march was relatively smooth.But crossing Liyang and approaching Han Mountain, the upper reaches of Hengjiang Pu have already been congested and difficult to walk. Even if there is rainwater replenishment, it will only form patches of silted depressions.

The waterway has been cut off so far. If you rely directly on manpower and animal power, you have to wait here for a few days until the rear team catches up.Fortunately, there is another old Wu waterway more than ten miles ahead, which can be used to continue on.So in the following two days, the soldiers in the front line turned into engineers again, cleared the river silt, dug canals, and connected the two waterways.

But in terms of efficiency, it is of course more convenient to transfer supplies directly by cattle, horses and animal power, but Shen Zhezi's northward march this time is not a one-off deal. After laying a foundation, he can continue to rely on hydraulic power in the future.

The confrontation between the north and the south, there is a large strategic buffer area between Huai and Si, and Jiangdong does not have a large-scale cavalry force to mobilize and attack. In order to avoid an overly complicated logistics force, relying on waterways is an inevitable choice.Therefore, in the past when troops were deployed to the north, apart from killing the enemy and capturing land, the most important task of the soldiers was to dig waterways.

Originally, it was most appropriate to entrust this kind of task to civilian husbands, so that soldiers could preserve their combat power.But the problem is, in this buffer zone, there is almost no people's power that can be conscripted!
When it comes to this point, it is also the sins committed by the predecessors, and the future generations suffer!The confrontation between Wu and Wei during the Three Kingdoms period, it is true that several battles were fought around the Hefei Fortress, but after successive defeats, Soochow no longer regarded Hefei as a must-see, and shifted its focus to plundering the population.Frequently crossing the river to dig deep and heavy plows, and Cao Wei will naturally not be soft in this regard. All the people were transferred to the north, resulting in a vast uninhabited land.

Although the north and south of China and North Korea are united, the unification in just a few decades is not enough to restore this long-stricken land.Next came the chaotic times of Yongjia, which was well-dressed and traveled south. This land of many battles was not to mention any management and recuperation.

Desolation, this is Shen Zhezi's biggest feeling along the way. Looking around, the forest and grass are lush, but there is no human habitation.The slope ponds and cottages of the old years, apart from the messy and lush grass, there are still traces left.Wild birds build nests, wolves ravage, but there is no human habitation!
Of course, this is not absolute. The team was attacked the first night they were stationed here.

There were still heavy clouds in the night, and there was no trace of the stars and the moon in the sky.Not long after Shen Zhezi slept in the tent of the Chinese army, he heard a warning drum sounding at the gate of the camp, and immediately put on his armor and rushed out of the tent.At this time, the campfire outside the tent was already on fire. Surrounded by his personal guards, Shen Zhezi hurried to the place of commotion with his sword in his hand. Halfway through the journey, soldiers came galloping with flags raised, reporting that the supply camp was harassed by unknown enemies. The Shen Mu Department of the training camp has repelled the thieves and chased them away.

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he couldn't help frowning, the night was heavy, the enemy was dark and we were clear, the most important thing was to keep the camp, it was really inappropriate to go out and chase.But after thinking about it, Shen Mu has also been in the army for a long time, so he shouldn't be ignorant of this kind of military common sense. Since he chased him out, there must be some considerations, or the night raiders really don't care.

Even so, Shen Zhezi ordered the drums to be played, and the soldiers went out through the camp, guarding around the camp, and at the same time sent a small group of scouts to patrol around.

They worked like this for most of the night, and it wasn't until dawn that news came from outside the camp that Shen Mu, who was chasing the enemy, was already on his way home, heading straight for the thief's nest, winning a complete victory!

Hearing this news, Shen Zhezi understood that this time was a false alarm, even if there was no specific report yet, and the invading enemy was not a concern.The sergeants worked hard all night and were all exhausted. At this time, Lu Yong's troops had also moved their camp here to change their defenses.So Shen Zhezi ordered the soldiers to disband and return to the camp to rest, and he himself was no exception.

Shen Zhezi didn't sleep until noon, and when he left the tent, his own soldiers reported that Shen Mu's troops had returned to the camp, and drove back more than a hundred prisoners of this battle.

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he went through the camp to see who dared to invade so boldly. When he arrived at the place where the prisoners of war were placed in a corner of the camp, Lu Yong had already arrived and had already interrogated several prisoners of war.

Seeing Shen Zhezi's arrival, Lu Yong walked up with a ragged prisoner of war, and said with a smile: "The people who disturbed the camp last night turned out to be just a group of thieves! This group of thieves will be in Liyang at the end of the year. At that time, it was heard that they were a group of villains who wandered between Hanshan and Gaoling. Because they had no great evil, and their whereabouts were uncertain, it was difficult to appease them. Therefore, in the early years, most of the subordinates turned a blind eye to them. Unexpectedly This time, he dared to invade the Master Wang, but was captured by Marquis Shen in a single battle, which is really strong!"

Shen Zhezi didn't care about Lu Yong's flattery towards Shen Mu, and he wasn't surprised by the origin of this group of thieves.He had seen similar thieves in Tuzhong last year. The rebels were in exile, or they were sheltered in the dock wall and were broken by the army.

It's just that this group of thieves looked even more miserable than what Tu Zhong had seen.All of them were naked and unkempt, like the man Lu Yong held in his hands, he looked like he had a huge skeleton, and he should have been a strong soldier, but now he was skinny, with wrinkled skin, a pair of gray eyes embedded in the bridge of his nose Sideways, eyes full of fright and wandering, almost deserted.

In this enclosed camp, there are more than a hundred people like bandits, most of them are men, and there are no old, disabled, women or children.And the weapons they rely on to plunder are all left in a corner of the camp. They are nothing more than wooden sticks and bamboo spears. Occasionally, one or two of the tips are inlaid with sharp iron nails, which are already rare murder weapons.Apart from the mud, there are still dark and brown marks on it, which have been completely immersed in the wood.It can be seen that even with such crude weapons, they still killed a lot.

Shen Zhezi is not a kind person, most of the time he is rational and almost cruel, but even so, he still dare not think deeply about the past experiences of these thieves, how could he be harmed by the world?And how to impose the evil of the world on others, and survive till now?
"Give soup and food first, interrogate carefully, and report later."

Shen Zhezi ordered in a heavy tone, then turned and left, rubbing his sore nose, a layer of water vapor had already gathered in the bottom of his eyes.He is still not as firm as iron, and he may be able to bear the sight of corpses strewn all over the field, but he really cannot see the gestures of ghosts in the human form of his flesh and blood compatriots.

　Baidu is not friendly to this period of history, and many details are completely vague. It is necessary to find some clues from the Battle of Hefei in the Three Kingdoms and the Battle of Feishui in the back to make up for it. . .Try to add another chapter today
