The reason why he was so careful was because he was afraid that the war horse would get sick because of swimming in cold water.

If you let the war horse go back and forth in this river more than a dozen times, I am afraid that this war horse will not last for many days, and it will definitely be in trouble.

Shi Jin and Zhou Zhong led people across the river so quickly, which also surprised Dong Ce, he glanced at the two of them approvingly, waved his hand and said, "Speed up, reach the mouth of the Changhe River before dark!" ”

Half an hour later, at six o'clock in the afternoon, the Panshi Fort army arrived at the mouth of the Long River.

The long estuary under the sunset seems to have changed little compared to before.

It's still as desolate.

It's just that under the withered yellow weeds, there is a lot of green that is sprouting, showing the revival of the earth. The change is not only this, the wide river on the east side of the official road at the mouth of the river was dry, but now at the bottom of the river, there is a shallow flow of water.

Needless to say, it should be known that this is the result of the heavy rain some time ago, and perhaps for a small reason - as the temperature rises and the snow and ice melt in the mountains, this short-lived seasonal river also appears. This kind of river will not exist for too long.

But now it happens to be cheaper than Dong Ce, and there is a living water source next to the camp, which is naturally a very good thing.

The camp he had chosen, on the east side of the mound and on the west side of the river, was barely backed by mountains and water.

Between the mound and the river, there is a clearing less than a hundred paces in circumference, which is flat enough to be used for camp.

With its back against the mound, it only needs to be defended on three sides, and when building a camp, part of it is relying on the mound, which also reduces the amount of work. The camp is in front of a river, which not only makes it easy to get water, but also eliminates the need to dig a trench in front of the camp, which once again reduces the amount of work.

Not far to the south, there is the official road.

The soldiers all came to this clearing, and Dong Ce gave the order - it was still the same as building a bridge, regardless of the details, as long as the result was completed, within an hour, the camp was built.

After Shi Jin and Zhou Zhong discussed, they quickly assigned the task.

Four people from each killer team remained, and Shi Jin gathered them together, a total of one hundred and twenty people, divided into twelve teams, each team was responsible for a distance of about twenty meters, Shi Jin drew two lines between the mound and the river, and asked them to dig a trench along the line.

The rest were sent out into the woods to cut timber.

The reason why wood is cut is to collect firewood for cooking at night, and secondly, to cut wood to build shacks.

That's right, it's for them to build shacks to live in.

Dong Ce really didn't have a tent on hand, and things like tents could not be carried by firefighters, so they had to be accompanied by chariots and horses and pulled on carts. Dong Ce did have a cart on hand, but there was really no tent, and he didn't find the arsenal in Zhenhe Fort some time ago.

The reason for this is that the current nine-sided army is basically guarding its own territory, and few people go to other places to fight, so there are fewer field battles, so naturally there is no need for materials such as tents. And once transferred to other places to fight with Jiannu and Liu, most of the road is to find a deserted village and town to live in, some of the military discipline is poor, directly find a village to burn and loot first, and the residence will naturally be available.

Then I had to grieve the soldiers first.

Setting up a tent is naturally more trouble-free than a shack, you only need to level the ground a little, and then put the tent on the assumption, the whole process is a quarter of an hour at most. But when it comes to building a shack, it takes more than half an hour from finding the building materials to finally building it. Regenerate the fire to cook, and finally eat before you know how late it will be.

But fortunately, Changhekou is already very close to Hutou Cottage, and the food brought is enough, so the time is not tight tomorrow, so you can get up a little later.

Dong Ce rode his horse and stood on the mound, looking at the soldiers who were busy doing their own work below, and secretly thought in his heart, when he was free, he would have to build a baggage convoy no matter what, and now it was really shabby, and the burden on the soldiers was very heavy.

He glanced at the looming mountains to the north, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "Let's go, wait for the war horse first." ”

So saying, he went down the mound and went to the river, intending to drink the horses and feed some fodder by the river.

The family members were busy keeping up, and there were about twenty more than twenty family members around him at this time. The outposts that had been placed on the periphery had all been withdrawn, and they were kept on guard, and then a group of family members were sent out.

After all, it's hard work to be out and about, and you have to take turns.

There were nine groups of eighteen people, six of whom were on guard in all directions within ten miles of the vicinity, while the other three groups were heading in the direction of Hutou Cottage to inquire about information and observe the enemy's tracks.

……

It took half an hour for the people who went out to cut wood to come back, and by this time, Shi Jin had already divided the location of their respective barracks for them.

The camp was close to the foot of the mound, where Dong Ce and his family were camping, and they did not need tents.

Each killer team has a tent, and the size of the tent is about six feet wide and one foot and five feet long, which is very narrow, cramped, and very short, but what else is there to pay attention to when fighting on the march? To put it bluntly, this tent is just a place to sleep, as long as it can be accommodated, the weather is still cold at this time, and it is warmer for everyone to squeeze in.

The distance between each tent was thirteen paces, so that after thirty tents had been built, the outermost tent was still some distance from the ditch and river that surrounded the camp.

It was already dark by this time, and countless torches were lit in the camp, and the light was transparent inside and out.

As for night blindness or something -- the soldiers of Panshi Fort eat a lot of meat, and they usually eat a lot of grains and coarse grains, fish, eggs, beans, dried vegetables, etc., and they are also all alive, so there are very few people with night blindness.

The soldiers cut down the wood on the ground, these are selected small trees or large branches on large trees that are more suitable, about seven or eight feet long, arm thick, relatively straight. There were eight holes dug in the ground, and the wood was smashed into them, and soon they formed a rectangle. There is a log on each of the four corners, and a piece of wood at the midpoint of each of the four sides.

Then they had to take out all the coarse cloth they had with them -- according to the regulations laid down by the Rock Fort, each man was to carry ten feet of coarse cloth and five feet of felt cloth on the march, which also caused a considerable burden on the soldiers, for in fact, if there was a baggage caravan, these things could have been loaded by the carts of the baggage car.

Zheng Fakui commanded everyone to wrap the coarse cloth around the stick in two layers, which is equivalent to sticking to the inside of the stick, and sticking to the outside of the stick. Then a stick was erected in the middle of the tent, the top of which was joined by smaller branches from the tops of the other sticks, forming a network like the spokes of a wheel, and then a cloth was placed over it.

In this way, a simple barracks was built.

From logging to building, it takes no more than an hour, the amount of work is small, and the dismantling is also convenient, and the effect is really good, unless it is raining and snowing, it is still very comfortable to hide inside.

It's just that it's all made of wood and coarse cloth, so it's particularly afraid of fire, and even a little spark splashing on it can easily cause a fire.

After the barracks were built, the soldiers spread their felt cloths in it, and the ground had been leveled, and the felt cloths of the twelve men were joined together to form a fairly comfortable bunk. Although sleeping directly on the ground is not good for the body, it is still the same sentence, where can you manage so much in a hurry? For soldiers, eating ice and lying in snow is commonplace, and making a bunk on the floor is just a trivial matter. Jiang Laosan and Yang Er immediately spread it up, and they didn't want to get up when they lay on it.
