"Look at what you said, my lord, I, Xue San, really don't pay attention to this little weight."
"Tell me what you can't recite."
"Okay, little one, thank you Lord for your compassion."
Zheng Fan's armor and some clothes were prepared by Feng Siniang and put in a box, which was carried by Xue San.
In addition, there was a knife, which was also tied to him by Xue San.
?It is so heavy, but this small body still walks easily after being carried on its back.
Liang Cheng was wearing his own armor and holding a knife in his hand.
Originally, Siniang planned to buy a horse for each of Zheng Fan and Liang Cheng, but Blind Bei directly refused.
The reason for the refusal is very simple. Now that I have armored soldiers on my side, I can probably be a small manager in the civilian husband's team, and put on a guard when transporting grain and grass.
But if you really even have the horses ready, you might be taken up and sent to the battlefield as an auxiliary soldier.
Although Blind Bei said that it would be good for his master to go out and see the world, he didn't want his master to sacrifice his life for the Great Yan Kingdom for no reason
At the same time, the armor and weapons bought by the inn were bought as usual, and they didn't think about inlaying any fancy things, and they were as low-key as possible under the premise of conditions.
The farewell breakfast was extraordinarily rich. Blind Bei asked Zheng Fan for instructions and said that he just reorganized the land in Hutou City while the Lord was away. The first step in Toucheng.
However, these are all things for the future.
Especially when the three of Zheng Fan walked out of Hutou City and came outside the barracks, looking at the moving figures inside, Zheng Fan really felt like a world away.
A few days after being reborn in a different world, he was about to go to war.
Huh
There is a big tent at the entrance of the barracks, and there are clerks inside who are responsible for counting the civilian men who came one after another.
Poor people or those who are not the kind of people who drag their families with their families have already been taken into the baggage camp when the register of people was counted yesterday, while those who have families, people or property are reserved for one day. preparation time.
It¡¯s not easy for the latter to escape. If you can escape, the monk can¡¯t escape the temple, no, if you escape, your property will be confiscated.
When registering, the clerk seemed very dissatisfied with Xue San, but when Xue San said that he could feed horses and had prepared dry food, he didn't say anything, and let Zheng Fan and the others enter the baggage camp.
There are soldiers guarding the camp entrance of the supply camp, and a troop of cavalry can be seen cruising around.
After entering, I saw three skinned and battered guys tied to the first three wooden stakes behind the camp gate.
The three tried to escape last night, but were caught and whipped and punished, and now they are tied here to make an example to others.
In fact, the State of Yan had certain rules for the recruitment of civilian husbands in the early days, such as one household per household, four draws for one or three draws for one, no matter how serious it is, two draws for one.
But because there are many clans in the Yan Kingdom, each clan has its own property, its own servants and its own private soldiers. These clans are like leeches attached to the body of the empire, sucking nutrients from the empire. Gradually, the taxes that the imperial court can collect and the people's power that can be collected become more and more limited. When encountering this sudden military operation again, in a hurry, they can only use this method of fishing from the lake to carry out the transfer of civilians.
It is no wonder that the contemporary monarch of the Yan Kingdom has been working on centralizing power and cutting down vassals since he succeeded to the throne, because this empire seems powerful, but it has actually been hollowed out.
Fortunately, although the Qian State and the Jin State are not full of powerful families, their scholar-bureaucrat class has long been decayed and the tail is too big. Especially the Qian State, which is located in the fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, has developed commerce and trade, but the Qian State court has not been able to accept it. Business taxes and finances have always been very tight, and often even the frontier soldiers stationed in the north of the empire to defend the Yan State's iron cavalry have to pay in arrears.
?Because the "Old Zheng's family" is considered to have a property in Hutou City, and Liang Cheng's appearance after wearing armor is really good. He is considered the captain of the army in the civilian husband camp, and five people make one army, so three civilian husbands were added.
Why add three people? Because Xue San is not considered a human being here.
After a lot of tossing, the tent was set up and the things were put in place. It was already afternoon.
The three of Zheng Fan sat outside the tent, gnawing on cakes.
The scallion pancakes are filled with oil and meat, and taste really good.
After seeing the envious eyes of the other three people in Tongwuli, Zheng Fan gave each of them a pie, and they happily accepted it, ??And Xue San, if there are no accidents, it¡¯s good that everyone can go back safely after the war, but if something happens, I have to rely on the two of them if I want to survive. of.
Have a safe night.
On the second day, the civilian husband team continued to move forward, and continued to camp at night like last night.
On the third day, it was still calm.
At dusk on the fourth day, Minfuying camped again. This time the camp was in a good location, next to a river, with slopes and valleys on both sides, which can shelter from the wind and sand.
After camping, many folks went to the river to wash themselves. In fact, they traveled northward in the past few days, and their bodies seemed to have been covered with layers of sand. Before, there was no condition, but now they must tidy themselves up at night. Get a good night's sleep.
The three passers-by A fetched water, those who packed dry firewood packed dry firewood, and those who pitched tents set up tents. Xue San only had to be responsible for cooking.
There is food in the camp. After all, most of the peasants do not have such good conditions as "Old Zheng's family", but the food in the camp, compared with the small stove here, can only be regarded as pig food.
Zheng Fan took a bath in the river, and when he got ashore, he saw Liang Cheng standing on the bank.
Seeing this scene, Zheng Fan felt for a moment that the princess was taking a bath in the wild and the general was in charge of guarding outside.
Naturally, it is impossible to express these thoughts, even as a joke, it is too disgusting.
However, Liang Cheng was obviously not in charge here. When Zheng Fan came up, he took the initiative to walk up to Zheng Fan, and said very seriously:
"My lord, something will happen tonight."
"What's wrong?"
"How does the Lord feel about this camping location?"
Zheng Fan thought about it carefully. He didn't understand ancient warfare, and he was not a military fan in his previous life. Therefore, he could only analyze from his own perspective and thinking:
"Here, firstly, the water source can be guaranteed, and secondly, camping in the canyon can reduce the defense area. If there is an enemy sneak attack, it can also defend better, and the enemy will not be afraid of cutting off the water source."
"The Lord is wise."
Zheng Fan feels that these people have learned badly, and the insincere flattery seems to be free of money. Moreover, Zheng Fan knows that this flattery is just a foreshadowing, and there must be something belowbut.
"However, the Lord may have overlooked one point, that is, if there are 3,000 sergeants camping here, even if they are not elite field soldiers, as long as they are regular sergeants, they can rely on the favorable geographical conditions to achieve results.
However, my lord, there are only about 200 soldiers here, and there are more than 200 people who bring their own armor and weapons like us, and the rest are basically ordinary civilians.
It only takes a few hundred riders to attack from one side and then attack from the other side, and the entire camp will inevitably collapse. "
Zheng Fan has also seen the quality of these peasants. According to what Zheng Fan said, once there is a sneak attack, it is obviously impossible for most of these peasants who do not even have weapons to suddenly turn into predators. Become the key to bombing the camp, directly causing the camp to collapse from the inside.
"Have you talked to the army chief over there about this?" Zheng Fan asked.
Liang Cheng shook his head, pointed to the cavalry in the distance, and said, "Also, there is one thing that is very strange. It is normal for the cavalry to be used to escort the food and grass team, but this cavalry did not disperse to serve as sentry cavalry. In the past few days, they have been huddling together in an organized way, rather than saying that they are escorting the food and grass team, it is better to say that they are more like monitoring the peasants."
"right."
Liang Chengyi said that Zheng Fan also discovered this phenomenon.
"Have you ever fought a war before?" Zheng Fan couldn't help but be confused.
Liang Cheng's eyes showed nostalgia, and he replied: "In ancient times, I fought."
"oh."
Is it in the extra chapter of "Zombie Liang Cheng"?
Zheng Fan couldn't remember these details clearly.
At this time, Xue San's voice suddenly came from behind the two of them, like a ghost.
"My lord, I found something very wrong."
When Xue San spoke, Liang Cheng only felt a chill coming directly from the back of his spine, making himself gasp.
But at this moment Zheng Fan could only resist the aftertaste of being frightened, and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"When I was just cooking, my subordinates thought about going to the grain truck to get some food out. After all, who knows how long it will take to go back. The food we brought with us can save a little bit.
In order not to be discovered, the subordinate deliberately chose the grain bag at the bottom of the grain cart, who knows"
Xue San spread out his palm,
A grain of pebbles fell from his palm?? Spread your palms,
