Chapter 1035: Supply Handling, Pursuit and Killing (First Update)
"Work hard, there is rice, carry it." At the place where Longyou Jiedu envoy, a group of soldiers went out to the north.
In the morning, I saw people driving and pushing carts, and some people carrying bags.
Judging from the state, it is obvious that they have been on the road for a long time, and they are also on the road at night, and some people have traces of fire in their hair.
When the people who were working saw the army coming, they were not polite and handed over the supplies directly to the other party.
The soldier first went to pick up what he was carrying, and then the cart.
The wheelbarrow has a strap that hangs around the neck and walks with both hands.
People with good skills push hundreds of pounds of things and dare to walk the plank road on the cliff, and it is easy to run when the road conditions are good.
To the front, there is a river, more than 20 zhang wide, there are ferrymen on the river, and now the sergeants are being transported, there are small boats, there are bamboo rows, all of them are propped up.
"Quick, get the stuff over there, put it up." A soldier carrying a bag of rice puts a bag on a bamboo raft.
"No, wet, go find the boat, put it on board." The person holding the row points to the top of the bamboo row,
"How much can you put on the boat?" The soldier hugged the bag in time.
A general-looking man looked at the water: "How deep is the water?" ”
The person supporting the platoon: "It hasn't rained in the past two days, it's more than four feet deep, you can ride a horse, and let the horse help carry it." ”
"Brothers, dismantle the board of the car and go into the water with me, this is something for us."
The young general said hello, went to the side of the car to unload the things, and carried the board into the water.
The others looked at it and understood what to do, and went to find the board.
"Bamboo rafts, connect the bamboo rafts, and use shoulder frames on both sides." The young general saw the bamboo row again.
Those who support the bamboo row hurriedly put the position of the row and the flat row over, and the head row can only transport people and wheelbarrows.
As soon as the water came out of the water here, the other side saw it, and followed it down, and after a short time, a pontoon bridge appeared.
"Cross the bridge!" The young general touched the water on his face and shouted.
"Get on the bridge, walk steadily, don't step on people." Others hurried to push carts, wheelbarrows, and carry things on.
"Good soldier! I don't want to be paid for sending things to such soldiers. ”
The people from Shu also shouted loudly when they saw that the soldiers were directly carrying a bridge on their shoulders.
"Yes, don't do it, wait for them to win the battle, raise more sheep, and let's eat cheap mutton." The person next to him followed.
"You don't want it, some people are still counting on supporting their families, you don't want it, how can others want it?" The people who came with the Salt Gang disagreed.
"Chop wood and bamboo, continue to build bridges, bring ropes, tie them with ropes." There are generals on the opposite shore, and they feel sorry for the soldiers.
"Why is there no bridge?" The people who rushed over wondered that there were roads on both sides, and it was not difficult to build bridges on the river of more than 20 feet.
"Yes, seven or eight miles downstream, there are mountains on both sides, and there are bridges there." The soldier soaked in the water responded.
"Why don't you put it on the road?"
"In case the enemy comes and doesn't hold it, you can go over and defend the bridge, and wait for the enemy to go into the water on this shore, and you don't need to hit halfway, just release arrows."
The people who supported the typesetting ferry gave the answer, and they knew the situation.
"Oh! And then you can make money as a ferryman. And the people said,
"We are fishing for a living, and we don't need money to ferry, otherwise where would we have so many boats and rows? Fishing.
Some people want to cross the river and don't want to go around, so we take them to both sides, and sometimes they buy our fish and shrimp. ”
The people in the front row had just returned from a delivery and denied that they were making money by ferrying.
There are not many people here in a day, and some people are in a hurry, so they can only take the bridge.
So many of them were on the river, expecting to live on ferries, and they all starved to death.
Now they are even more volunteers, they have heard that the army in front of them has almost occupied Jiuqu.
The further the army goes, the more stable and strategic it will be.
Usually, the fish and shrimp they catch are mostly sent to the place where Longyou Jiedu envoy is sold, or exchanged for some eggs and woven cloth saved by others.
People on both sides of the river cut trees on the mountain and tied up temporary wooden and bamboo rows, such rows were not used for a long time, and they would rot in the water if they did not soak in tung oil.
The soldiers of the Longyou Jiedu envoy are working, but the Jiedu envoy is not there.
Zhang Zhongliang set off with his people yesterday, sent things to the front, provided troop assistance, and moved the front forward.
In case someone sneaks up on him in front of him, he can still provide positional protection if he runs back.
When it was dawn, he rushed to the place where the military village was located.
His 30,000 soldiers continued to fortify the fortress while watching over the captives and mowing the grass.
The captives could not be idle, bending down to cut the grass and weave straw curtains.
Pile up the cut grass and cover it with a straw curtain to prevent the grass from drying out quickly.
"Take a break, prepare to transport things locally, and then take over the work here."
Zhang Zhongliang asked about the situation and ordered the team to rotate.
The main thing to rest is the horses and the animals that pull the carts, and the people do not use it.
Everyone ate, and half an hour later, Zhang Zhongliang continued to lead the team forward, and there were tents in the team.
……
"Stop, rest the horses, eat." Qin Li led the team to chase after him, and he wiped out hundreds of enemies.
At this time, there were less than 500 people left around Tashi Kure, and one horse after another fell, and one after another turned around and died.
Tashi Ku had a fever that made his head dizzy, cold, his whole body was cold, and he felt the exhaled breath hot when he gasped.
He wanted to stop now, put on a thick leather coat, and drink hot soup around the fire.
Running and running, he looked back and found that the person he was chasing was gone, so he quickly ordered: "Stop, rest the horse, we can't run anymore, run again, we can only run with our legs." ”
A group of horses stopped, and some of them stood there and swayed, falling sideways with a thud.
The soldiers hurried over to take a look, and the first one to see shook his head, took out his knife, and slashed at the horse's neck.
In the splatters of blood, the horse twitched a few times, but there was no movement.
The others cut the horses, cut off the large pieces and gave them to the others, and the others stuffed them into small strips.
Tashi Kure shivered as he ate a piece of meat in his mouth, his hands clenched into fists, chewing desperately, as if this was the only way to feel better.
His own soldiers could see that he was sick, but there was nothing they could do.
Peel off the horse's skin and wrap him up, with a sad look in his eyes.
Someone looked back, frightened and helpless.
They have never fought such a difficult battle, and the enemy does not even give a chance to fight to the death, and they bite and say nothing.
Qin left here, everyone ate compressed biscuits and drank water in small sips.
"Boss, one more chase can clean them all up, right?" Someone lowered the bladder and licked the chapped lips with their tongue.
Chapped lips are not due to lack of water, but due to the weather environment, the wind blows, and the face feels hot and painful, all of which are small cuts.
"We can't kill enough, unless we are willing to pay the price of casualties, and give up after chasing after us, they are about to get to the place."
Qin Li shook his head, he knew that the undead would not be able to kill all the enemies, and then run out for dozens of miles, and the other party would be there.
After the pursuit, the enemy ran desperately, and dozens of horses would eventually arrive.
Then the cavalry was organized to charge their own ranks, and their horses could not outrun the well-kept horses.
He planned to chase after him harder, continue to exhaust the horses and men who had been released against him, and retreat quickly.
