At the end of December, the battalion to which the Abandoned Bo was located received a new order. According to the order of the military headquarters, this battalion was to march to the northeast of Buyeo, to cross the defense line of Shumoshui, and drive to the territory of the allied forces on the left of the tribal coalition army. On the 700-mile river defense line from Buyeo to Da'an, the two camps of Buyeo and Da'an have already dispatched tens of thousands of tribal and Bohai cavalry to cross the river defense and enter the territory of the coalition army to drive out the tribal army that cannot shrink.

A week later, the battalion, exhausted by the bad weather and thick snowy roads, was stationed in Dalu City, Juzhou, Yanzhou Province, on the east coast, and the battalion commander made Captain Xu Jian run back from the headquarters on horseback, and Na Qibo was resting in the snow hut tent with his team's fans, when he heard the sound, he showed his head just in time to see the captain wrapped up tightly, like a dumpling on a horse, his beard was covered with ice chips, galloping back from the frozen hard road.

The horsemen in the tent immediately became active.

"Is this going to be pulled out again?" Rove, a cavalryman from the same Xi clan, speculated, looking at the returning camp master with some anxious probes.

Private Hall, the only other member of the abandoned men, except for Rove, stuck the needle in his leather hat, shook the freshly sewn trousers, and said, "It must be time to leave again." ”

"Don't let us take a break, damn it!" The other cursed under his breath.

Na Qibo previously reported that the soldiers of Tongdu had violated military discipline, and he was rewarded afterwards, not only receiving a Tiger Medal. And he was promoted from private to private all at once. It's a two-level promotion. Therefore. He is now a combat team leader, according to the old practice of the Qin army, the team-level commander is the lowest-ranking rank of the rank of the officer, and the rank of the group and the rank below the rank of the squad are served by non-commissioned officers. In the Fan Army, the rank of non-commissioned officer has also just been changed, which is divided into junior non-commissioned officer and senior non-commissioned officer, from the fifth sergeant major to the first sergeant major. These five ranks are senior non-commissioned officers, with the lowest rank of five and the highest rank of the first grade. And from corporal to sergeant, these three ranks are called junior non-commissioned officers. In the capital corps, senior non-commissioned officers hold the positions of deputy team leader, deputy flag bearer, instructor leader, officer, etc., while junior non-commissioned officers serve as gang commander, deputy gang leader, army commander, deputy army commander, etc., which are not actually within the nine ranks.

As for the leader of the battle team, it is actually a position that does not even have foreign products, and when fighting, the Qin army is generally a group of three people, and a group of three teams. A combat team leader is actually just three people, including himself. In general. This is not a position, it is filled by veterans, with two low-seniority recruits. The battalion was a tribal recruit, and because he was promoted to private, he was promoted to a higher rank than the other soldiers, and was able to become a squad leader.

"I heard that the chambersman is here." A soldier from the same team came in from outside, reporting the gossip he had just heard.

"Tick-click-tick!" The trumpeter blew his trumpet.

The riders all jumped up quickly.

"Where's my cigarette pouch?" Hall was still there scrambling to look for it.

"Prepare the horses!"

"Don't look for your cigarette pouch, the gathering is delayed, your cigarette gun can't be saved, let's go." The abandonment shouted as he ran.

The chief secretary of the team ran over, and with one hand he held the groom, and trotted towards the stable. Everyone prepared their horses according to the time set by the cavalry drill and stood by the stakes. The discarded man stood there like a stake, and the chief clerk whispered to him, "Fight, young man." ”

Originally, the position of secretary was only at the capital level, but it was already established at the team level in the soldiers. This is not a good position, and many soldiers often say that they are not the chief of affairs when they are officials, and they do not stand on the second shift. The secretary is equivalent to a logistics director, who is in charge of almost everything, the most important thing is to be in charge of all aspects of daily life, and the food, accommodation, and finances of the team are all under the responsibility of the secretary. In peacetime, he manages the daily logistics affairs of the metropolitan team, clothing, food, housing and transportation, and in wartime, he also serves as the chief officer of the management team, and has the mission of supervising operations.

The Chief of Staff is an officer, not a non-commissioned officer, and although the Chief of the Division is only the lowest warrant officer like the rest of the team, he is a decent officer. However, under normal circumstances, everyone doesn't take the secretary very seriously, but when he is a food manager, that is, when he takes turns to be on duty in the food class, everyone obeys him closely.

However, everyone doesn't think much of him as an official, there is a very important reason that although this Han secretary is only in his forties, he is a monk, originally a monk with the army, and later in a battle because he was forced to counterattack and kill a few enemies, so he was no longer a monk, but simply became a Qin soldier, because of his merit, he was awarded the rank of deputy lieutenant from the nine ranks, and then in the Fan army, many soldiers are new soldiers, and those newly transferred officers at all levels, although they are all transferred from other troops, are of low class.

According to the current system of the Qin army, the system of double deputy posts is implemented, and there are two adjutants under each chief officer, and when the battle comes, the first deputy chief officer will accompany the army, and the second deputy chief officer will all stay in the camp, the purpose of which is that in case the army is exhausted outside, with these second deputy commanders, a new army can be pulled up immediately, and these seeds can be used as the backbone to re-pull up and retain its combat effectiveness. However, under the second adjutant system, most of these adjutants were newcomers with little seniority, and they were transferred from various units to those new armies, and as a result, their military ranks were very low, and some of their subordinates were even higher than those of their superiors. At this stage, lieutenants and colonels were added.

Both lieutenants and colonels have five ranks, from warrant officer to second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain to lieutenant and then brigadier to colonel.

The chief of the division with the nickname Master is warrant officer, the lowest rank of the ten-rank officer.

"You're talking nonsense, aren't you?" The master is kind to everyone, and he doesn't have the slightest official pretension, so he doesn't have to be careful when he talks to him.

"Really." The secretary of the nickname Master whispered.

Soon, sure enough, an order was passed down to dismantle the tent. Pack up.

The tent was dismantled. All the teams lined up in the streets.

Their heads were on agitated horses. Spinning in front of the capital.

"Line up!" It is said that he graduated from the Dengzhou Longshan Lushi School in the inland of the Qin Domain, and I heard that the Lu Shi is quite famous, and the people who come out of there have a bright future. Just like the guy in front of him, he is about the same age as the one who abandoned the box, but the one who abandoned the body was promoted to a private because of that commendation, and the guy in front of him is already the head of the capital. Captain Renyong on the serious Zhengjiupin, wearing a three-star lieutenant rank on his shoulders.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the fourth capital followed behind the third capital, drove out of the camp, and ran onto the avenue, and the left and right teams of the fourth capital drove out in a neat formation with the smooth pace that they had been trained for most of the year.

Three days later, the battalion drove all the way to the west bank of the diagonal river, which was already under the control of the tribal army, and on the other side of the river, there began to be fortresses and garrisons of the tribal army.

Behind the birch bushes, the sun shines brightly. It was a fine morning, and the sleds were hauling supplies such as food, grass, and ordnance carried with the army. There was a rumbling sound on the snow, and the horses snorted and smoked, and stopped in front of the riverbank.

The horsemen of the Fourth Capital were unloading the ploughs, and the sound of people and horses was wafting in the white mist.

A faint light flashed on the human face, and the figure of the horse disappeared into the hazy morning light.

"Which one?"

"Which one are you from, what are you doing with a blind cock?"

"Bastard, what attitude are you using to talk to the chief?" The young fourth capital all shouted.

The party member standing guard hurriedly bowed his head, "I'm sorry, sir, I was wrong." ”

As soon as the head of the capital left, the party sentry hurriedly whispered to his companion next to him: "Damn, I dragged us all across, and I haven't slept well for three days and three nights." ”

"Kanghe, don't you have any tobacco, fill me with a pipe, I haven't smoked since yesterday." He smiled flatteringly at his Sogdian companion next to him.

"Smoke a grandma's leg, seal the Laizi finely, who still has tobacco now, the most damn smoked, if you want to wait for the rear to transport supplies, I don't know if you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse. Bear with it, but it really doesn't work, just go get some hay and light it. Damn, I thought I didn't smoke before, so let's not live the same. But now it's this thing, everyone is addicted, and the fuck can't pick it up, isn't this torturous? ”

The two cavalry sentries swayed like two small bare poplar trees with their spears in their arms.

Since Qin Fan developed and produced various types of cigarettes, the army also began to use cigarettes and tea as military supplies, and distributed them together with soap and other things, and soon, this kind of gadget that can greatly refresh the spirit in the march and battle became popular in the army. It can be said that in the military, it is really difficult to find people who do not smoke. However, although the sergeants were issued cheap tobacco made with mugwort leaves, mint, honeysuckle, and a small amount of tea, the quota was still very small, which made the first thing the sergeants say when they met was often to ask if there were any cigarettes.

"Dude, do you still have any tobacco?"

Na Qibo was a private, and his quota of tobacco leaves was more than that of the private's Laizi, and he didn't smoke much. He generously took out his cigarette pack and grabbed a handful for each of them. The two fellows immediately took out their pipes, hurriedly loaded them with tobacco, and then lit them with matches, took a hard puff, and then spat out the smoke with a satisfied face.

"Brother, do you know where we're going?"

"Go to my mother-in-law's house for a drink!" The renunciation also said a joke.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha!"

"Shut up! It is forbidden to speak. ”

In the distance, there was a shouting from the sentry officer, and Na Qibo hurriedly left.

As soon as he returned to his team, his subordinate Rove immediately leaned over, he carefully looked at the face of the abandoned erection, and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid?" ”

"Afraid of what?"

"Across the river is the tribal alliance, and we're about to cross the river to fight."

"Whatever!" The abandoned Bo didn't care, his eyes looked at the ice and snow on the other side of the river, but there was a look of anticipation, "Fame and wealth will be taken immediately, Rove, Hall, don't you think this is our great opportunity?" Think about it, as long as we rely on our ability, we can earn fame and wealth. Ranks, ranks, titles, money and land, we don't have to graze year after year, but we always have to endure cold and hunger, and we don't have to worry about white plagues and pestilences. We don't have to face the loess all day long and face the same cultivated land as the Han people, we are all born warriors, as long as we work hard, we can rely on this natural ability, in exchange for fame, wealth, money and land, this is a good opportunity. If we were our fathers, we wouldn't have gained much even if we fought for the tribe. ”

"You're ambitious." Rove looked at the abandoned erection in surprise, "I'm not as optimistic as you think, I haven't fallen asleep all the way, this is the first time I've been on the battlefield, maybe I won't go back as soon as I go." ”

"Don't worry, my father told me that a recruit wouldn't die in his first battle."

As soon as he had put his gear in order, he leaned back on the saddle and took a nap, and Rove and Hall kept babbling something in his ear, and their voices mingled with the squeak of the snow being trampled on the ground, but it didn't stop him from falling asleep, but like a lullaby, it made him fall asleep faster.

After some time, he was suddenly awakened by a shout.

"Enemy cavalry approaching, enemy cavalry approaching!"

"Assemble, get ready to meet the enemy!"

The white-faced lieutenants were shouting loudly, and the abandoned man looked up, and in front of him was the snow-white camouflage-colored cloaks of the soldiers of his team shaking, and on either side were the warhorses that had already felt uneasy. A flock of crows flew overhead, croaking and croaking.

On the other side of the glacier, a group of black dots began to appear, which were the scouts of the tribal soldiers.

The gunners of Jiadu, who were close to the river bank, directly dragged the flying thunder cannon to the river, set it up and fired a shot at the opposite bank.

There was a bang, like the sound of spring thunder. The flying thunder landed more than ten feet away near the opponent, and the enemy horseman, who was startled by the flying thunder, began to turn his horse's head and leave.

Lu Zhe, the commander of the first capital, had quickly assembled the cavalry of the main capital, and led his capital team to gallop forward, ready to catch a few tongues.

In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and the majestic Qin army cuirassiers galloped past them. The elite cavalrymen who rode all snow-white horses, wore navy blue half-length armor, and wore snow-white long cloaks, and even their war horses wore snow-white horse coats, looked at the team with mocking smiles. In their own opinion, after more than half a year of training and marching, these natural horse warriors are now more elite. But in the eyes of the Qin Army's iron cavalry, this is just a group of recruits who have not experienced the war.

"Warriors of the tribe, please bring our greetings to the Khitan dogs!" A tall Han cavalryman smiled at them on his horse.

"We'll help you greet all the old ladies of the Khitan dog thieves!" The renunciation refused to show weakness in return, which caused a louder burst of laughter.

Groups of soldiers and horses poured towards the riverbank in an endless stream, and the abandonment had already felt the imminent breath of death. (To be continued......)
