Less than a cup of tea. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Sheng led more than 1,000 soldiers to a stop at two hundred steps in front of Zhao Feng's army.
Zhang Sheng took five personal guards, rode a horse to Zhao Feng's side, and arched his hand: "I've seen Zhao Thorn History!" ”
Zhao Feng smiled: "General Zhang doesn't have to be polite. ”
"Come with me to the big tent and have a light meal."
Zhang Sheng arched his hand: "But it depends on Zhao Tingshi's arrangement." ”
Zhao Feng smiled, and rode his horse to his big tent with Zhang Sheng.
Short breaks like eating at noon.
Only tents will be set up for generals with official positions above the rank of lieutenant.
As the coach, Zhao Feng naturally has a big account.
Because the noon break would not be too long, and it would be too cumbersome and time-consuming to pitch a tent, the soldiers would not have tents to shade the sun.
The other soldiers had to find a shade to rest on.
If there were no shade, the soldiers would not have set up their tents, even in the sun.
Zhao Feng and Zhang Sheng walked into the big tent, and the two sides had just taken their seats.
A soldier walked in with a food plate.
Wait until everything is set up.
Zhao Feng opened his mouth and said: "General Zhang should have heard about me and Brother Zhang. ”
Zhang Sheng nodded: "I have heard a little." ”
Zhao Feng nodded: "Then the matter of sending someone to pass on the matter yesterday, General Zhang is fine, right?" ”
Zhang Sheng pondered for a moment: "If you just lead your troops to stay in Jingling for three days, there will be no problem." ”
"And I don't need to tell Leader Zhang about this, I can make the decision directly."
"Still, if you want me to lead my troops to help."
"You need a military order from Leader Zhang."
"This matter of using soldiers, Zhao Tingshi, should know better than me."
Zhao Feng smiled: "I naturally understand this matter." ”
"General Zhang only needs to be stationed in Jingling for three days."
Then Zhao Feng and Zhang Sheng discussed some other things while eating.
After eating.
Zhang Sheng stood up and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Thank you Zhao Tingshi for your hospitality." ”
"If it's all right, I'll take my leave."
Zhao Feng nodded, signaling that he was fine.
After Zhang Sheng saw it, he withdrew from the big tent.
The army rested for half an hour.
Zhao Feng led his troops to continue to set off.
It took a few hours.
Zhao Yun rode his horse to Zhao Feng's side and arched his hand: "Brother." ”
"According to the message from the Sentinel."
"It's in front of the central capital."
"Are we setting up camp near Zhongdu, or are we moving some way?"
The situation of tens of thousands of troops like Zhao Feng.
Generally, near the county seat, there will be enough open space for the army to set up camp.
If it were halfway through, it would be difficult to find such a large open space that would allow tens of thousands of troops to set up camp.
It's not that there is no such large area of open space, but it is more difficult to touch it just when it is dark.
Zhao Feng didn't even think about it: "The army continues to advance." ”
"Around noon tomorrow, the Hun army will arrive at Jiexiu, we hurry a little more today, and we can arrive at Jiexiu early tomorrow."
"And in order to prevent the occurrence of an accident in which the two armies are at war."
"We also need to build some fortifications around the Jiexiu."
Zhao Yun arched his hand: "Got it." ”
With that, he rode away to his own tribe.
The army passed through Zhongdu, did not bother, and continued to advance.
Just before dark.
Zhao Yun rode his horse to Zhao Feng's side and arched his hand: "Brother." ”
"It's getting dark, and there's no open space in this area suitable for the army to camp."
"What are we going to do about this?"
Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "How far is it from Juxian County?" ”
Zhao Yun didn't even think about it: "Judging according to the map." ”
"There are still more than 40 miles to go."
Zhao Feng silently calculated: "More than forty miles, if you rush overnight." ”
"It should be at three o'clock in the morning, and I can rush to Juxian County."
After speaking, Zhao Feng groaned: "That's it." ”
"You lead all the cavalry, including the cavalry of Zhang Liao, Zhang Wu, Huang Shao's tribe, and my personal guard cavalry, and rush to the boundary immediately."
"At the speed of your cavalry."
"In two moments, we will arrive at the realm."
"Early tomorrow morning, you will lead the cavalry and dig a large number of horseshoe pits in the area from Jieshan to Jiexiu."
Zhao Yunyi arched his hand: "I took all the cavalry away." ”
"What about the food?"
"We don't have ox carts here to transport grain."
Zhao Feng didn't even think about it: "The rations for one meal are left behind, and you all take them away." ”
"Anyway, we'll be there tomorrow before noon."
Zhao Yun arched his hand: "Huh! ”
With that, he rode away.
Wait for Zhao Yun to leave.
Zhao Feng said to Zhao Goudan: "Zhao Goudan." ”
"Command the whole army to stop advancing for the time being, cut down the surrounding trees, and make improvised torches."
"Hurry up, soldiers, it's going to be completely dark."
"After telling the soldiers that there is no suitable place to camp in this area, we will rush for another two hours, about three o'clock in the morning, to arrive at Juan County to set up camp."
Zhao Goudan arched his hand: "Oh! ”
After speaking, he began to convey the order to the herald next to him.
If you set off with the food team.
Torches and other burdens have been prepared for a long time.
But because the food team is not here.
So it is necessary to cut down trees temporarily.
Moreover, the cut torches will not have linen soaked in fire oil to wrap the torch heads.
In this way, the torch will not burn for so long.
Fortunately, you don't need to travel for too long, it's almost usable, and there's nothing to be picky about.
The army stopped and cut down a tree for a cup of tea.
In fact, it didn't take much time to cut down the trees, mainly to cut the trees into the shape of torches.
Even if you don't cut it like a torch, you should cut it like you would burn wood.
Otherwise, it's not easy to hold in your hand at all.
Wait for the army to get the torches in order.
It was just getting completely dark.
There was no need for Zhao Feng to give a second order, and the army lit torches one after another.
Ignition torches, too, have specifications.
The cavalry was held every ten people with a torch at the same time, and after the torches were burned, they would take turns to change people.
The infantry is every thirty people, and they hold a torch at the same time, and after the torch is burned, they are still held in rotation.
The reason why the cavalry interval is small is because the cavalry is fast.
Torches are needed to provide a greater field of view.
Moreover, when the cavalry was running, the torches could not protect against the wind, and if they were not careful, they might be blown out by the wind.
After the army lit the torches.
Zhao Yun led the cavalry, quickly overtook Zhao Feng, and then in less than a moment, they were all out of Zhao Feng's sight.
Marching overnight, albeit with more difficulty.
But because it didn't take too long, Zhao Feng's army still arrived in Juxian County very smoothly, and then stationed outside Juxian County.
However, because of the weather, it is impossible to go to logging anymore, so there is no camp, but simply set up camp.
It's outside the city of Yanxian County, so you don't have to worry too much about safety.
