Although the Yishui camp outside the city is not too far away, after being covered by frost and snow all over the ground, it is a long and difficult journey for Tan Guochen and his party.

However, after experiencing frostbite and attrition again, they finally looked at the ruins in front of them in disappointment.

Although for the camp outside the city, it has not been able to directly help and respond in time, and it should have been psychologically prepared, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he still can't help but sink to the bottom.

All that was left in front of him were the remnants of the arson, the large and small waste heaps that had been rummaged through, and the traces of repeated trampling, all that stretched into the distance. Obviously, even the unknown enemies eventually abandoned the place.

In the river on the bank, there were still many smashes that had been smashed and re-frozen, and farther away, some things that seemed to be human bodies were frozen on the ice half-submerged.

Think about the strange reaction from those palace troops before they decided to break through, I'm afraid that when they got in touch for the last time, they already had a problem.

"Go ......"

Tan Guochen wrapped his body tightly and said in a hoarse and tired voice.

"Since there is no hope left......"

"Then we'll make our way out of our own......"

Under his leadership, he found a few tents that had not been completely burned down, cut off large pieces of the remaining tent that had not yet been soaked in snow, and wrapped them around his body as a measure to keep warm.

It's just that grief and despair have shrouded this small army, just like those predecessors who had fallen in the pass a hundred years ago

In Luodu Beiguo, the station in Hanjia City is warm and mellow, filled with the fragrance of cooking and cooking.

"Today's main dish is stewed lamb haggis with dried radish......"

"Plus pot stickers, the cake tube is full, and the pot broth tube is enough."

"There are also baked potatoes and bean buns that need to be taken out at night,"

"Soup overnight."

"It's early."

A firehead sang loudly as he knocked on the pot, and although his voice could not reach far, it soon gathered the heads of people who involuntarily twitched their noses or drooled.

The sequence, now called the Northern Recruiting Army, has abandoned the Upper East Gate, which is too far away, and has reduced its forces and moved its camp to another Xian Gate near Hanjia City.

In this way, as long as there is a small section of the outer Guo city wall and the fang area, a basic defense area can be maintained. Therefore, in addition to daily operations and services, enough manpower can be dispatched to seize the time to move the ants to the warehouse in Hanjia City.

According to the usual practice, there are tens of thousands of horses under the name of the current Northern Raiding Army, so it is divided into three orders according to its importance and military service: the first order group is to be composed of the core of the main battle battalions and six directly subordinate teams, and also undertakes the main offensive task, with Xin Jiaxuan, the deputy envoy of the attack, as the permanent officer;

The second order is composed of each auxiliary army brigade, as well as friendly forces with relatively complete establishment and combat strength, and Wang Gui, the former commander of the army, is the permanent officer, who is mainly responsible for the subsequent occupation, clearance, and front maintenance after the first order opens up the situation.

The third order is the largest and most mixed, based on a dozen stragglers, plus the remnants of friendly forces that have been collected in large numbers, and is mostly responsible for labor duties such as building, transporting, and cleaning up the battlefield and cleaning the battlefield.

These three orders of men and horses, plus a small number of scouts and hunters who were directly responsible for me, amounted to nearly 40,000 people.

Just eating horses every day requires the consumption of more than 1,000 stone of grain and other non-staple food, as well as various winter fuels, clothing, oil, injuries and diseases, and other rations, in order to ensure the most basic combat effectiveness or corresponding range of activities against the enemy.

This is still in the daily state of the defensive, and if you want to take the initiative to launch an offensive, this consumption ratio will only quickly double as the number of participating troops increases.

After all, once the size of any troop reaches 10,000, the effectiveness and cycle of organization and mobilization are relatively complicated and trivial matters.

This is also the reason why I was a little caught off guard by Yang Keshi's breakthrough in the original situation, and it has never been easy to change and adjust the battle line after it was rolled out, especially in the low temperature climate where heavy snow blocked the streets.

Fortunately, Yang Zaixing's adventure allowed us to take a part of Hanjiacang City, and this part of the city that we accused us alone was enough for those soldiers to keep carrying and open their bellies to eat.

And the hardships and adversities along the way are also a kind of trial and grinding, which can squeeze out some potential and efficiency from my subordinates to the greatest extent.

For example, the three shifts under my account, from Wuping to Yao Zhongping, and then to Du Shiyi, even those who have never been on the front line have all shown some kind of growth or progress in the same way.

If there is a specific number of jù panels, it is estimated that you will see a hint of a truncated increase in attributes.

This point, from the increasing program planning and chart operations due to the war, as well as the high-intensity continuous operation, the staff and staff, led by Lu Wuguan, invariably show a common tendency in appearance and characteristics to transform into a certain kind of cute pets in later generations. can all be confirmed by some kind of side.

After all, the cost of making mistakes on the battlefield is often unbearable, so every slight progress and improvement may be behind the accumulation of many bloody lessons.

Because people who are not good at learning lessons are always more likely to be eliminated by the cruelty of the battlefield than others. It is not only luck but also experience that survives.

I stood at the head of the city and pondered quietly, watching from afar in the wind and snow, as Zhang Dekun's personal messenger, the object of the secret release, mixed with a group of captives, and escorted out of the east gate.

From there, my soldiers would use forced labor as an opportunity to create the illusion of a collective escape, so that the designated subjects would bypass the frontal battlefield near the city walls and escape from the outer cordon back to the enemy camp.

Then, it's a matter of waiting for him to bring me back a surprise or a not-so-good outcome. This depends on the control and subsequent influence of Zhang Dekun on his former subordinates as the former Luodu stay.

At this time, another new news came, I sent one of the special teams to look for a chance to survive the Luoshui blockade, which brought me a new change of situation.

They ambushed a transport convoy near the East Tianjin Bridge and rescued a number of captured friendly troops. It's just that the identities of these friendly troops are a little special, not the soldiers of the Eastern Front who were scattered in the city of Beiguo before, but the soldiers and horses from the middle of the South Guo.

They also brought me the out-and-out bad news, the middle route army, which insisted on fighting in the south of the city, had already collapsed under the full siege of the northern army before my men could break through the blockade and get in touch, and these captured soldiers were from the right wing of the new army, one of them.

In this case, I will face a new enemy who will take advantage of the victory, and who will have the advantage in numbers and on the home field.
