high official

Chapter 455

The young army's drill code was formulated by Wang Xian with reference to the army of later generations. Naturally, training was indispensable. When he was in the army, he would organize a [-]-mile full-weight march every two days, and he would gather urgently from time to time.Although the young army slacked off after he left, the one-month hard-working drill on the way north made the soldiers get used to this kind of high-intensity training.Therefore, although there were complaints about the emergency assembly and field training on New Year's Eve, the soldiers quickly carried all the equipment on their backs and completed the assembly.

Wang Xian also appeared in front of the soldiers with a forty-jin carrying gear on his back, and the officers and soldiers hurriedly greeted the military adviser.Wang Xian waved his hand kindly, and asked with a smile, "Have you eaten the dumplings yet?"

"Eat." The officers and soldiers replied with a smile.

"Are you full?" Wang Xian asked again.

"I'm full." The officers and soldiers laughed.

"If you're full, you can't stop exercising. How about some exercise to digest your food?" Wang Xian said with a smile, "Have you passed all the skiing subjects?"

When the officers and soldiers heard that they were using skis, they all breathed a sigh of relief: "Passed."

The history of skiing in the north is very long. It is recorded in the "Tong Dian" of the Tang Dynasty that because "the earth's air is cold and the frost and snow are early, after every hard ice, a wide wood six inches long and seven feet long is used to tie its feet. Practicing layers of ice, chasing and running beasts. 'In today's Northwest and Northeast regions, this skill is becoming more and more advanced. The frontier residents bind their feet with five-foot-long wooden boards, hold a long pole, and paddle forward through the snow. The board can travel more than ten miles in an instant... Freedom, although the birds are not as good as it.

This year, the whole northern country has been snowing, and Shanxi has not stopped throughout the winter. When it was decided to attack Guangling, Wang Xian was the first to think of it, to let the soldiers master the skills of skiing.When he reported this idea to Zhu Zhanji, His Royal Highness did not hesitate to order Xue Huan, Cheng Zheng and others to draw up the training regulations... They are all military officers taught by Wang Xian, so they are no strangers to this set.They first found Liaodong and Hebei soldiers who could ski from the whole army, and then worked out the training program with them, and hurriedly made a batch of wooden boards and long poles, and set an example for them to practice.

Compared with boring training in line, painful marching training, and painful martial arts training, skiing training is novel and interesting, and it can also earn points. Naturally, it is very popular among officers and soldiers. If you don’t go to Taiyuan, everyone They all passed the assessment and can slide freely on the snow field!
"Then let's go!" Wang Xian ordered, and the soldiers strapped on their skis and walked out of the barracks slowly.The 3000-strong army was divided into three teams. Xu Huaiqing and Mo Wen led 3000 elite soldiers as the vanguard, Wang Xian and Xue Huan led 2000 soldiers as the central army, and Cheng Zheng led [-] soldiers as the rear.The remaining nearly [-] troops, under the leadership of Xianyun, Wu Wei, Erhei, Song Zhong and others, guarded the main roads from Taiyuan to the north and intercepted the messengers who reported the news.

Before thinking that the old concubine was wearing a filial piety, Wang Xian asked Jin Wang to distribute white hats and white cloaks for the army. Now he ordered the soldiers to cover the armor, which not only keeps out the wind, but also has the same color as the snow field, which is very difficult to be defeated. find.When the soldiers walked out of the camp and trudged onto the snow that was several feet deep, they immediately became lighter. They sank down, held up their walking sticks, and started to slide slowly. The speed of sliding was getting faster and faster, like a bird A white swallow quickly flits across the snow field with heavy snow, and gallops away to the north!

Heavy snow fell one after another, quickly covering up the traces of their passing...

.

Skiing on a snowy night is cool, and it's definitely not a good feeling.Although the soldiers were all dressed thickly, they were still frozen through quickly. The cold wind cut the face like a knife, and the bones seemed to be frozen. It doesn't matter, but it will be miserable when encountering an uphill. The soldiers have to use their breastfeeding strength to move their legs up the slope little by little. It is extremely strenuous.But Shanxi is full of mountain ridges and mountains, even the official roads are ups and downs... So the speed of skiing is not as fast as expected. After marching overnight, when the sky shines, it is only fifty miles away.

At this time, it was finally time to rest. When they heard the whistle, the soldiers lay straight on the snow, panting heavily, as if they had been pardoned. "Get up, get up, don't die!" The officers hurriedly pulled and kicked them up from the snow. If they fell asleep lying on the snow, they would definitely freeze to death!
The only thing that could comfort the soldiers was the shochu that was distributed before the expedition. They huddled together to keep warm, took a sip from the wine bag, and passed it on to the next person.After taking a sip of shochu, the soldiers finally felt a tinge of warmth, but in the blink of an eye they were so cold that their eyes went straight...

Xue Huan patrolled around, and returned to the temporary snow enclosure dug by the guards. Seeing Wang Xian looking at the map, he asked in a low voice, "Military Master, how far is it to Guangling?"

"There are still three hundred miles." Wang Xian took out a jug from his arms, threw it to him and said, "Why, are you in a hurry?"

Xue Huan ended up with a tin flagon with body temperature, unscrewed it and took a sip of the hot shochu. He felt his whole body heat up, and said with a calm face: "No, it will take three days at the earliest. Now the sons and daughters have already suffered from frostbite After three days, I'm afraid there are not many who can still fight." After a pause, he said: "And three days is too long, and the news may not be blocked."

"Hehe..." Wang Xian looked at him in surprise and said, "Schoolboy, you should look at him with admiration in three days, you have made a lot of progress."

"Is it still possible not to improve?" Xue Huan said shyly, "Otherwise my elder brother will be angry."

"Yeah, I thought you would be angry if you were not allowed to play forward." Wang Xian smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you didn't lose your temper."

"I know that the military advisor is for my own good." Xue Huan said with an embarrassed smile, "I used to be too muddy, and the military advisor should not take it to heart..."

"So you won't be messed up in the future?" Wang Xian said happily.

"No, I can't embarrass my brother." Xue Huan puffed up his chest.

"Good job," Wang Xian thumped his chest heavily and said, "Go, appease the brothers, and set off after a stick of incense!"

"Here!" Xue Huanying turned around and went out, took a step but turned around again, and said depressedly: "Military Master, you haven't answered me yet."

"The mountain people have their own tricks." Wang Xian smiled mysteriously.

"Tell me again." Xue Huan muttered, but didn't say much, and went down.

.

After a stick of incense, the army continued to set off.Ordinarily, this kind of surprise attack should be carried out at night to avoid being exposed, but the dense goose feathers and heavy snow covered the sky, and the scenery ten feet away could not be seen clearly. march.It's just that everything has its advantages and its disadvantages. Marching in such a heavy snowstorm consumes too much physical energy for the officers and soldiers.

The wind was blowing harder and harder, the snow was falling harder and harder, and the sky was getting colder and colder. The soldiers rowed hard on the thick snow, and from time to time soldiers who were frozen to death fell on the side of the road. Wang Xian made up his mind Come on, order the officers and soldiers to ignore it, and save all your physical strength to march.

After another forty miles, the soldiers finally couldn't bear to stop and protest. They recommended more than a dozen military leaders to present their case in front of the military division. A general flag named Ma Zhou carefully said to Wang Xian: "Military division, brothers are I have issued a military order and promised to prohibit it, but please let us die to understand... This is really not like training, what are we going to do?" Although the usual training is also very strict, it has never ignored the soldiers Life and death... If the soldiers were not so cold that their minds were numb, this question would have been asked a long time ago.

Wang Xian didn't hide from them at this time, and said indifferently: "We are going to Guangling to suppress the bandits."

The soldiers turned pale when they heard this, and asked boldly, "Do we have reinforcements?"

"Yes." Wang Xian said firmly.

"where?"

"Just wait for us ten miles ahead." Wang Xian said.

Hearing that there were reinforcements, the soldiers were very excited. Although there were complaints about fighting in this weather, the military orders were like mountains, and no one dared to talk nonsense, so the soldiers went back to appease the soldiers, and the army continued to advance north.

"Military Master, do we really have reinforcements?" Xue Huan asked pleasantly after the soldiers had left.

"There are no jokes in the army." Wang Xian said solemnly, and then said with a guilty conscience: "I only said yes, not much..."

"..." Xue Huan is so sweaty, I don't know if the soldiers will rebel when they find out that they have been fooled?

The soldiers had hope, and the marching speed was much faster. In a blink of an eye, they slid ten miles away, and saw a shiny ice belt lying in front of them!

But everyone's attention is not on this frozen river, but staring wide-eyed looking for the legendary reinforcements.Finally, they saw a horse galloping towards the ice, and when they got close, they realized that it was a Mongolian youth.

The scouts were about to take it down, but he kept saying that he wanted to see the forehead.

"What is the forehead?" the scout asked strangely.

"The forehead is not a thing, he is your military advisor!" the Mongolian youth said naively.

"Your mother's Delengtai," at this time, the captain of the scout came up to him and recognized the Mongol at a glance: "You dare to arrange our military division!" Then he got off his horse and laughed loudly: " You fucking miss me."

"Brother Zhou Qiang," the Mongolian youth also dismounted with surprise on his face, and hugged the scout captain vigorously: "I miss you very much too! But what do you mean when you say that I will organize your military division?"

"It's a..." The scout captain named Zhou Qiang walked through the Gobi Desert with Wang Xian, and the Mongolian youth was Delengtai, the younger brother of Delemu, a warrior of the Borzigit tribe.Although the two belonged to two ethnic groups, they had that unforgettable period of life and death together, and they were really closer than brothers.Zhou Qiang patted him hard, and scolded with a smile: "That's what it means!" He said seriously and asked, "Why are you here?"

"It was the son-in-law who asked us to come here." De Lentai said, "We have been here for two days, and we have specially brought three thousand horse-drawn sledges to wait for you on the Hutuo River!"

　This weekend, I went to the park with my children, and it turned out that there was only this change, and it will be normal tomorrow.
