The ten-mile journey on a flat road and the ten-mile journey in a forest environment are completely different concepts, and this can only be experienced by walking through it.

The road is open and flat, and the road is nothing more than going straight in one direction, but the forest march is not such at all.

Trying to find your way in the forest is a very intricate knowledge, and getting lost in the woods without relevant experience is not a funny joke, but a fact. Because you can't see the sky in the forest, you can't use celestial bodies such as stars, the sun, and the moon to determine the direction, and the method of telling depends on the knowledge of plant growth.

Shigeru's way to find the way is not to climb a tree to the top and look out. To put it realistically, in this environment where the air is so humid that the trunks and branches are covered with moss, it is really difficult to climb the tree without slipping. He is looking at some plants to judge.

There is wind everywhere, and the branches and leaves of the plants tend to one direction when the wind blows them over the years. At the same time, some plants will choose the direction when growing, and it is actually easier to judge the direction in the forest if you know the habits of the plants. Of course, this simplicity is only for those who are familiar with plants.

Choosing where to base in the forest is also a matter of great consideration, not all of which are suitable for stationing. For example, can you be stationed in muddy ground? Apparently not. In fact, the water source is not the best place to camp, because the water source is the area where the animals replenish the water, and the so-called animals can be as small as rats and large tigers.

Marching animals in the forest is not the first thing to pay attention to, in the case of a large number of people, most animals do not choose to take the initiative to attack, including tigers, many carnivorous beasts choose to actually pull their legs and run. Lü Zhe's army had to pay special attention to insects such as spiders, ticks, moths, etc., as well as a large number of invertebrate reptiles, such as snakes and centipedes. As for mosquitoes that may bite and make people sick, it is actually easier to deal with, after all, species are mutually restrictive, and southerners can find plants that mosquitoes hate and stir them into juice and apply them to their bodies, so that mosquitoes are not happy to approach, but the smell of that thing is disgusting.

Mao and his companions have always been walking in front of the troops, and during their reconnaissance, they will occasionally encounter Baiyue people in twos and threes, and usually set up ambushes to directly surround and kill. On a few occasions, they even collided directly and then fought for a while, losing some men for this.

If there is a fight, does it mean that the target of the attack has been discovered? No, it's not. The forest is a strange world, and it is normal for a few people to disappear here once in a while, as long as it is not for a large group of people to be discovered, there is no possibility of exposure. Moreover, the Baiyue people are not monolithic, and when they meet by chance in the forest, they will also carry out revenge vendettas because of the different tribes.

Lu Zhe, who didn't know this, would be worried about exposing something at first, but the Baiyue tribe that scouted and kept reporting to the small valley did not move, and learned that as long as it was not a large force was discovered, it would not cause any reaction from the Baiyue tribe at all, and he slowly became accustomed to it.

Lu Zhe, who entered the southern jungle for the first time, saw many animals, and even saw rhinoceros and elephants! These two species did survive in the Hunan region during this era, and were later forced to migrate by humans or became extinct there.

In addition to sending a large number of scouts to reconnoiter and counter-reconnoitre, there is also a problem in the forest. That is, there are enough streams encountered, and the characteristics of such streams are that the vegetation on both sides is particularly dense, and the insects inhabited are terrifying. This is not the point, it is worth worrying that the terrain next to the water system is muddy, although it does not form a swamp, but the area is very large, and every time you need to lay branches or something hard to make the ground thick to cross.

Lü Zhe's chosen target was the old and weak Baiyue tribe, which was stationed in a small valley. This kind of terrain is conducive to defense, of course, it is easy to be besieged, he didn't treat the Baiyue people as idiots, thinking that swaggering and rushing over directly to destroy it would be over.

It can be concluded that this Baiyue people in the small valley must have set up a wide range of posts around, and the most likely thing is to arrange personnel to watch out for movements around the valley at the commanding heights on both sides of the valley. Want to get 5,000 people close without alarming any Baiyue people? Except that this Baiyue people really have no brains, otherwise it is simply impossible. Therefore, the way of attacking needs to be thought and rethought, and cautious and cautious.

It took them nearly two days from the departure to the small valley near their destination, and they would strictly control the speed of the march in the last part of the journey, leaving time for the scouts to do the most reconnaissance and determine how many troops should be divided to intercept the direction where the enemy is more likely to escape.

Before the battle, Lu Zhe counted the number of people again, and this count had an intuitive impression of the forest march. He had taken into account all the hazards he could consider and prepared for them, and there were still seventy-eight non-battle casualties, who had died under the venom of poisonous insects and invertebrate reptiles. Dozens more have fallen ill for a variety of reasons. And this is less than two days of marching in an environment without miasma, which shows that the horror of the primeval forest really lies in all kinds of poisons rather than large animals.

Lu Zhe, who had been mentally prepared enough before departure, did not have heartache or pity, and now there is no need for any emotion except to complete the set goal. He was not frightened by a large number of non-battle damages, not that he cold-blooded the casualties of soldiers who lost their lives as cold numbers, but that it was better to have this kung fu to grieve than to improve the offensive deployment with all his heart, and the emotions of sadness or something should burst out after the battle, what is needed now is to focus on improving the offensive plan.

Lu Zhe chose to stop about three miles from the small valley, a choice made according to the range and habits of the scouts who scouted the Baiyue people.

There is no need to deliberately look for hiding spots in the forest environment, as long as there is no loud noise in the dense vegetation environment, there is a place to hide. Of course, you should pay attention to what you should pay attention to, such as don't be stupid to choose what upper hand position.

Spreading out the topographic map and looking at it carefully, Lu Zhe realized that it was no longer the key to divide the troops or not, the most important thing was how to try to get close to the small valley without being discovered, and push forward to block the exit of the valley before the Baiyue people could react. But it's hard, very hard.

Doing everything he could, Lu Zhezhi said that luck is the most important factor in whether or not he can succeed in doing anything, and if he is unlucky, even if the sword is about to pierce the opponent's body, he will be killed by the other party because of slipping. He can only wait for the arrival of the rainy season now, once the rainy season comes, the Baiyue people will definitely relax, and that is the time for the army to go out.

During his stationing, he spilled out a large number of skilled soldiers. These soldiers who have been distributed have only one mission, and that is to try to hide themselves and kill anyone who comes close.

"Are you sure it's going to rain on these days? And it's heavy rain? ”

"Yes, Lao Yu is a native of Nanjun, and he has lived in this land for more than fifty years, so he will not be wrong."
