Oops—hey, hey, I'm going to go!

How unlucky must this be to encounter this kind of weather that is faster than a person's face?

For a moment, Zhou Wen couldn't help but pull out the sword hanging from his waist and stab to death the Baiyue general who had promised that there would be three to five days between the rainy seasons.

The wind is blowing, and the rain is not falling, it is splashing!

In the haze, Zhou Wen subconsciously called out to the scouts, and ordered them to send more scouts out in a hurried tone, especially to closely monitor several shoals in the southwest, and be sure to report the enemy situation immediately.

Each army will have a scout officer, which is responsible for regulating the scouts in the army, which is quite a general rank if you count it according to class.

The scout officer knew very well what his duties were, and he also knew the surrounding terrain, and he sent scouts not only to pay attention to a few shoals in the southwest, but also to guard the upper reaches of the water.

Under the rainstorm weather, it is obviously impossible for the army to make any major movements, only the camps everywhere are ready for defense, and the key is to raise vigilance while the soldier cat hides from the rain in the tent, but don't be affected by this damn weather, otherwise even if you can heal, you will be too weak to participate in the battle, and will be sent back to the rear base to rest.

The correct response that should be made has been arranged, and Zhou Wen is still braving the rain to watch the situation on the other side of the river with his own eyes near the evening, but to be honest, the vision is blocked under the heavy rain, and it is strange to be able to see the other side of the river for at least five hundred miles.

In the rainstorm weather, people's line of sight is at most ten meters, especially the environment there is a piece of green, and people's eyes will have a kind of color physiology (the principle of layering, people with color blindness can see a blur), Zhou Wen is destined to not see what is happening on the other side of the river.

Judging by the sound, there is the sound of rain "splashing" on the leaves everywhere, and in addition to this, there is also the surface of the river that suddenly becomes uncalm. Even if Zhou Wen incarnated as Shunfeng Ear, he could only hear the movement related to the water.

"Send someone to force the crossing to the other side, let the captain Tang Jie settle down, and don't allow any mistakes before the follow-up army crosses the river!" Zhou Wende admitted that he was flustered, this sudden rainstorm gave him an ominous premonition, and he always felt that things would not be so simple.

Forced crossing?! Forced crossing in rainstorms??? The generals who heard this order were stunned for a while, it was raining heavily, and the current of the river became turbulent, and even if they were extremely cautious in crossing the river by small boats or rafts, they could not guarantee safety, which would cost lives!

"What are you doing! Heavy rewards, unfortunately three times the compensation for the unfortunate death. If you succeed, you will be credited with special military merits! Zhou Wen also understands the danger, but what to do as a soldier is not dangerous, the difference is whether it is worth the risk.

Lu Zhejun's pension was originally high, enough for a family that had lost a family member to live a well-off life, and three times the pension was fifteen acres of land and six and a half taels per month for twenty consecutive years, which was obviously enough to eliminate the worries of the warriors.

The so-called super-grade military merit is a very general statement, but if it is related to the super-grade military merit, it is at least the treatment of being promoted to the third level, and it is enough for a bold person to put his head on the waistband of his trousers to fight once.

Rewards and bereavement benefits were disseminated throughout the army. The man who thought he was good at water decided to do it after thinking about it, and some of the tun chiefs who were stuck in the rank of Baijiang were even more enthusiastic.

The tun chief has the desire to fight hard, after all, it is the least official to be promoted to the third level, even if he fails the assessment, he is qualified from the tun chief to a hundred generals. If you pass the customs, you are a military marquis, you are a military marquis, you are the kind of middle-level officer who can command a thousand people, and you can also get a military marquis in Nanling!

to the rank of military marquis. One step further up is the captain, the official position that is the easiest to become a member of the noble clan. In peacetime, it is rare for a commander to give a task with special military merits, and it has only appeared seven times since the founding of the army. There are two people who have successfully completed the task, and now one is a lieutenant and one is a general, and there are many times the pension when they die, and they are pure fools if they don't fight!

There are too many people who have signed up for the forced crossing, and because of time constraints, it has not been able to spread throughout the whole army, there are more than 3,000 soldiers who have signed up, and there are nearly 400 Wu Chang, Shi Chang, and Tun Chang, there are seven hundred generals, and one of the 500 masters, once again Zhou Wen is sure that it is not only himself who has the ambition to climb up.

There is no need for so many people to force the crossing, but Zhou Wen thought about it for a while, since so many people have signed up, can about a thousand people be selected, so that there will always be some people who will succeed in passing, and it is better to strengthen the troops on the other side of the strait in the past. Thinking about it halfway, Zhou Wen frowned himself, it was a special military merit, not a collective military merit, it was aimed at someone else, not a group, if it could be successfully crossed by hundreds of people, wouldn't it be that hundreds of people would be promoted several levels in a row, let alone what Lu Zhe would say, then some colleagues who were also at the general level should laugh at him to death.

Forget it, let's change the concept, divided into collective military merit of teamwork and individual military merit, as for whether the selected people want to work as a team or take individual risks, then it is up to them to choose.

Collective military merit is not comparable to individual military merit, and special military merit is even more completely incomparable, but there is no doubt that the power of teamwork is stronger than that of individuals.

In the evening, it was raining and forcing the water to cross the turbulent water, and no one can be sure of the success rate.

Zhou Wen changed to a higher position, and watched intently from the arrow tower near the river as the men who were ready to push the boat and the raft into the confluence.

"Those who organize people to work together, the captain of each group is noted, and those who understand the strength of the team are cautious and wise, if the force is successful, ask the team members how the captains command, they are some good seedlings to be officers." Zhou Wen said and looked at those who worked alone: "As for those who work alone, even if they get special military merits after success, future achievements are preferred." The army pays attention to the collective, no matter how strong a person is, how strong can he be? ”

Wu Liang stood on Zhou Wen's side and nodded very seriously: "Yes, the Lord has repeatedly emphasized that the army is a collective, and only those who know how to use the collective are good officers." ”

The forced crossing began, and the rain became lighter, and when I got closer, I could see clearly that many soldiers who had gone into the water were immediately driven by the current and drifted diagonally, and some people did not seem to be able to control their oars and balance not far from the river, and as soon as the boat or raft overturned, they were completely lost after a few flutters on the water.

If you need to use a heavy reward, how can it be such a simple task that can be accomplished? Zhou Wen's heart trembled every time he saw the boat or raft capsize, and the people on it fell into the water and disappeared soon after. He is not distressed about the loss of soldiers, as a general, he has long been accustomed to life and death, and a general who cherishes the lives of his soldiers too much will not be a qualified general, only a general who can face the loss of soldiers and not change his face is an excellent general. Of course, this does not mean that life is disregarded, but that it is necessary to give, and the two are not the same concept.

What the!? How can you be loved if you don't cherish your soldiers, and how can you win a battle if you don't love them?

The mother called out "ouch hey" at a little bit, and then explained softly: The army has never had any miserliness that has nothing to do with victory, and the army that needs to be loved by the soldiers to win the battle will definitely not be a regular army, it is a non-professional army, and it is also an army that has always been a fluke and luck to win a war.

The gentlemen burst out the foul words of "grass mud and horse Gobi" with good scenery, and then shouted and gave examples: Li Guang and Cheng don't know each other, don't you know? Li Guang was loved by the soldiers, and Cheng did not know whether he was loved or not, and he was strict in governing the army. What happened to the last two?

Zhou Wen needs the friendship of the robe, and does not need the love of the soldiers, in fact, the generals of Lu Zhejun never talk about what they love, what they want is to govern the army by relying on military laws and clear rewards and punishments, and what they love is something that the supreme ruler Lu Zhe should worry about. As long as they lead their troops to fight, they will fill in the flesh and blood burning field with 100, 1,000, and 10,000 people, and how much compensation should be paid, and how the soldiers who died in the battle should be compensated, that is a matter that should be dealt with by the object of allegiance.

I don't know how long it was, but after the night had completely fallen, there were finally three fires on the other side of the river, indicating that someone had successfully forced the crossing.

Zhou Wen breathed a sigh of relief before coming down from the arrow tower, went back to the big tent of the Chinese army, changed his clothes, and used the fire that had been baked for a while with the lit coal and stone pile to get rid of the cold before resting.

The sudden rainstorm was followed by two days of heavy rain, during which time the follow-up troops were able to transport the two sides of the river in small quantities because of the brave boats that connected the two sides of the river with thick ropes.

On the third day, the army of Lu Zhe on the other side of the river has increased to about 10,000, and the rough camp has also been molded, and there is no harassment from Gui Yue during the period.

Not only did a large raft with Guiyue soldiers appear on the surface of the river, but a large number of Guiyue people also appeared in the woods on the other side of the river. As soon as they appeared, they were naked and "wow" ghosts screamed to launch an offensive posture, among these people, there were men and women, the men's crotch swinging the "words" and running, and the women's chests dangled "two and that" running, and in a very fast posture, they directly entered the crowd of Lu Zhejun, who did not have a tight camp and because of the rain for several days in a row, many people became ill.

The surprise attack on the other side was only learned by Zhou Wen about a quarter of an hour later, and he roared "Tang Jie should be damned" so angry that he was like thunder, obviously the troops on the other side of the strait were not on guard before they were killed until their eyelids were lowered.

About 10,000 Lu Zhejun were sick, at least thirty percent of them were attacked, they were attacked in a daze, but after reacting, they also fought back fiercely, losing more than 3,000 people, killing and wounding about 7,000 naked Guiyue people, and finally the enemy who would attack in the future retreated.

But this is only the first time...... (To be continued......)
