Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 1276

[Chapter 993: Strategic Purpose Arrangement]

Li Yunyun left, ate the whole can and drank half a catty of wine, and left in a daze with a backpack of more than 40 catties of gifts.

Among the gifts was a telescope, a pistol with 200 rounds of ammunition, and the others were seeds. As for food such as canned food, it was not important to Li Yunyun.

After solving the problem of one tribe or two tribes, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan continued on their way. They were relieved here. The two sides have already negotiated. After a little stabilization, a large number of people will migrate to various parts of Datang, that is, tourism.

“Speed up, move forward.” Zhang Xiaobao gave an order, and the speed of the team immediately became faster.

This is hard for the nine Xiaobei people. They can’t always be carried away by others, and others are also tired. Usually, they follow them for an hour, and they will be carried for half an hour, and they will keep up with the speed of the large army.

It is said to be on the road, but in fact there is no road at all, and there is not even a small road. The surrounding is mountains except for mountains, except for forests, which are forests. Occasionally encounter a small valley, everyone has to take a detour and find a good place to cross. Typesetting.

The people who walk in the front and open the way are the hardest. Xiaobei and the others don’t have to run to the front. By the time they go, it is already a road, and all kinds of poisonous insects have been cleaned up.

“The scenery is beautiful, it’s really good, but I still want to stay in a big city, it’s humid and wet, it’s more uncomfortable than when I stayed in Luzhou.”

Xiaobei was wearing a pair of long thick leather boots. When the team stopped to rest, they walked forward, choosing a place where they could see the situation under the mountain.

Complain with the person next to you.

Xiaoyuan and the others just found a flat place to lie down, they were still young after all.

It is very tiring to follow the speed of adults. If you have not been well nourished and exercise, you will have to be carried forward long ago.

Compared with the nine of them, Xu Yilong, the grandson of Xu Jian’s family who has been following him, is much worse. He is a lot older than Xiaobei and others, and his background is not bad. This can’t be compared with Xiaobei and the others.

He never left since he met Xiaobei and the others before he arrived in Yizhou.

Occasionally, it was Xiao Bei and the others who went out to play children’s games, and he stayed in the team by himself.

Regardless of his age, his physical strength really can’t keep up. He is very grateful to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan for not playing this kind of rapid march when they first met him, but gradually increasing the speed and strength at the same time, which makes He has a chance to adapt.

Although it is now almost like a dead dog, it can still pant.

“I’m going to die. I feel that I’ve lost a lot of weight. If I walk for a few more days, I’ll definitely die.” Xu Yilong said to Xiaohai, who was lying beside him.

Xiaohai closed his eyes.

He relaxed his body, opened his mouth slightly to adjust his breathing, obviously he was giving psychological hints to quickly recover his physical strength, and he didn’t have time to talk to Xu Yilong at all.

Xiaobei watched the scenery for a while.

Ask someone to put a blanket on her, and she goes straight down.

With her arms outstretched, she felt comfortable panting, pressing her lungs with the weight of her body.

Xiaoyuan curled up sideways, just like when the baby was in the mother’s womb.

The big boy and the little boy hug each other. Zhang Gang and Zhang Qiang have one leg open and one leg straight. Anyway, they each have their own most comfortable resting positions.

The rest of the team also rested. Only the cooks were busy. Zhang Xiaobao didn’t show his cooking skills at the moment, waiting for the logistics staff to cook the dishes.

The dishes are local wild vegetables, mushrooms and wild beast meat from hunting. The staple food is the same, bamboo rice cooked with rice, which saves the time of washing dishes.

It’s not that stews are delicious. If you change to the Northeast, you can eat stews in winter. It’s warm, and it’s not easy to get cold. In today’s places, eating stews is much worse than stir-frying, but only stews are the most convenient.

There were also many wild beasts on the mountain. The people who opened the way and the people who were in charge of reconnaissance in front of them shot them easily. The hand crossbow was still very useful at this time. No one used a gun, otherwise it would scare the animals away.

After half an hour, the meat has been stewed, and the cook will eat it first, eat half full, lie down and rest, and the others will take turns to eat. It is estimated that it will take half an hour to eat a meal.

Xiao Bei and a few people were called up, took the split bamboo tube, took a big mouthful of rice, then scooped out a little dish from the pot with a spoon and put it in the place where the rice was emptied just now. Next, I took two bites of the dish, freeing up more space to scoop the dish into it.

“Why are the mushrooms so slippery, they don’t taste good.” Xu Yilong scooped up a piece of meat and took two small mushrooms, ate one, and muttered.

Xiao Bei turned his head and said to Xu Yilong: “I’m poor, I can’t eat good things, this is a very delicious beef liver mushroom, you can pick it up and eat it directly, some mushrooms will be poisonous if you eat them directly, you have to dry them first. , you eat the meat, leave the mushrooms to us.”

“It doesn’t taste good, but it tastes good.” Xu Yilong immediately corrected his mistake and had no doubts about Xiao Bei’s words. For many rare things, it is false to say that you do not envy.

Using the fastest speed to eat another mushroom, and then swallowing two mouthfuls of rice, Xu Yilong scooped the order again, glanced at it, and showed an embarrassed look.

Xiaoyuan glanced at it and handed over half of his bamboo tube: “Here it is, it’s just snake meat. I’ll scare you. When I’m scooping it, I’ll see it clearly, don’t scoop it up if you don’t eat it.”

Xu Yilong happily took a short piece The snake meat was distributed to Xiaoyuan, and Xiaoyuan chewed it slowly, nodded again and again, and praised: “It’s delicious, if you want to say stew, snake meat is more fragrant, much stronger than rabbit meat, it is a big tonic.”

When Xu Yilong heard about the supplement, he began to regret it again. When he was about to eat, he asked in a puzzled way: “You guys seem to be able to eat anything, but you don’t have your own preferences?

” Like, don’t look at what’s going on now, if it’s not for the conditions to be cooked, even if I eat it raw, it’s better than starving to death. It’s a pity that the wild snakes caught can’t eat snake gallbladder, because they are afraid of parasites, unless they use strong The wine is made into snake gall wine, so I can’t drink it.”

Xiao Yuan despised Xu Yilong, lowered his head and ate the last two mouthfuls of rice.

Then scoop two spoonfuls of soup and drink it up.

Touching his stomach: “Sixty percent full, alright, continue on your way in a while.”

Xu Yilong looked at Xiaoyuan’s meal, and then looked at his own, and found that the little guy could eat more than him. He was almost full now, and he would drink some soup after eating the last bite.

Supposed to be quite full.

And he is also very envious of the little guys. When he is tired from the journey, he will be able to recover immediately after taking a little rest.

After the meal, the team continued to set off, and no one was injured until the camp started at night.

All the snakes and venomous insects were cleaned up by the people in charge of the protection all around.

As for the legendary terrifying wolves, they only saw a shadow, and then disappeared from sight. It is estimated that they have also discovered that the crowd is stronger than them.

The evening meal is better than the noon meal, two stir-fries and one soup.

And also pancakes.

******

Five days later, the team entered the border of India and started camping at noon, because they had just crossed an unknown river, which was very wide.

The water is not fast, and it is not very deep.

The deepest place is less than four meters, Xiaobei himself said.

Xu Yilong, who can’t swim, was dragged to the shore by the little guys. He felt that he had an illusion before that the team led by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were not elites who were familiar with the mountain conditions, although they walked the mountain at a fast speed and were very stable. , but it’s really far from swimming.

In the past, when the water flow was fast, I used to make a row. This time I saw the slow flow of water, but they all went down to swim. The logistics staff still have all kinds of tools. They put the pot on the water surface, put something in the pot, and then push it. Cross the river.

And there are more than 400 kilograms of infantry artillery, just over 20 people to carry it over?

Some people went back and forth several times, and all their belongings were transported here. This is clearly a navy army, and they can’t see the influence of the river water when they wear their clothes.

When I was dragged by Xiao Bei and a few people, I thought I could try swimming, so I let them go first, but my body sank directly, it was too scary.

And when she was dragging herself over, Xiaobei asked the other eight little guys to drag her temporarily, and she caught a fish, thinking that it was just like catching chickens on land, it was too easy.

“Xiao Bei, how did you become so good at water?” Xu Yilong, who had changed his clothes and started to wash his previous clothes, asked Xiao Bei who was doing the same laundry.

Xiaobei washed her own underwear, and let others do it outside. When she heard Xu Yilong’s words, she tilted her head and shook her head: “I don’t know, I forgot, it seems like that’s the case. I heard from them that my brother took me back then. When I put my head in the water, I floated with my head up and cried happily, and then when I was older, I swam with my brother, lying on the water and listening to my brother singing, but I don’t remember.”

“How to lie down, right?

This?” Xu Yilong stretched out his arms, palms down.

Xiao Bei shook his head: “No, that’s right.”

Xiao Bei put his arms away, put his hands under his neck, and raised his head slightly.

Xu Yilong followed suit, and his face changed immediately: “Why didn’t you sink? Does anyone dare to lie down in the water

like this?” “Just move your feet twice, you will naturally sink if you don’t move your feet, you’re so stupid. Think about it, how happy it is to lie on the water and listen to my brother sing.” Xiaobei felt that she couldn’t say Xu Yilong again, her IQ was too low.

Xu Yilong nodded and admitted that he was stupid and couldn’t make sense. The only thing he knew was that some people really can’t be viewed with common sense.

“Then why do people in your family swim?” Xu Yilong stopped talking about Xiaobei and brought the topic to other people.

“I asked for it. I heard from my sister that my brother doesn’t want anyone to have an accident in the water. If you go to Sanshui County, you will know that there are people patrolling the river or on the river every other distance, afraid of other people’s children. It will be flooded. So when the children in Sanshui County talk about going out to play, the adults are very relieved to know that they are going to the river, unlike other places where the children say that the adults will not let you go to the river.”

Xiaobei continued to rub Wearing his own clothes, he looks very serious.

Xu Yilong said understandingly: “In my words, I would also like to let the children play by the river in Sanshui County and be safe.”

Everyone’s clothes were washed and changed, and they began to take a bath in batches. They have been unable to take a bath for a few days. Xiaobei was uncomfortable and died.

The cooks, who had bathed first, set up pots and ran upstream to fish with nets.

There is good news from Zhang Xiaobao’s side. They can already use telegrams to directly contact the army on this road. The army hopes that they can cooperate here and stop any party from supplying food to the forced retreating troops in the northwest. supply.

“That’s right, the cannibal army that didn’t dare to cross the river but was beaten to pieces was surrounded just after gathering by the river. Our people actually opened a gap and asked them to ask for help. Many cannibals were captured, and at the same time, it forced the enemy’s reinforcements to dare not fight or retreat.”

Zhang Xiaobao said happily after reading the telegram.

The smiles on Wang Juan’s face also increased: “Of course they don’t dare to retreat. If they retreat, they will give up the grain area they will harvest. It seems that we will continue to force the march to the northwest, and run to the north bank of the Sanjia River. Select key areas along the river to patrol, prevent any supplies from the Indian side from passing by, and at the same time prevent many cannibals from crossing the river when they are attacking on our side.”

Said, Wang Juan unfolded the map and pointed to the river basin, this time it was considered Cooperating with one’s own offensive troops to complete the strategic deployment, or saying that a perfect strategy could not be specified before, the battle situation is changing at any time, and it is a very important strategic arrangement to control a possible supply line and block a way for many cannibals to retreat.

If your own team didn’t come, this line would definitely be out of control.

Cannibalism is a cross-border operation. The manpower was arranged in India. It was originally to attack the Tubo cities from here. Now it has been changed to defense to contain the army of its own side. Otherwise, the army of its own side will continue to the northwest and pass India. The river directly slanted and hit the back of the Duoshi front protruding site.

Wang Juan still valued this opponent very much, and said: “As expected of the country that defeated our Tang army in the book, the strategic deployment played well. The history book said that they gave a small country to the army. Get betrayed, let us be defeated.

This time they also knew how to contact India and help them with supplies.

However, here we are. Our attackers on this line are still too conservative. Why should we control the front line of the Sangjia River, call them back, and tell them that we will march to the northwest parallel to them, and we will supply horses locally.

Let them just push forward as long as the logistics and supplies can keep up. Our team is too cannibalistic to know that we will control the airspace, and the speed of other people on the land is not as fast as our advance.

Someone will send

the report immediately.

Zhang Xiaobao leaned over to look at the map, stretched out his hand to measure the distance, and said hesitantly, “It’s too far, we have to cross the Sangja River first, then continue to the northwest, and then cross the Indus River. It will take two months to rush the road, and it must be under the condition of sufficient animal power.

”

You can spend a few years for an economic offensive, and two months for a military?”

“Wang Juan said and gave Zhang Xiaobao a blank look.

One update today and two tomorrow.
