When he was in the army, every two days, he would organize a twenty-mile march with full loads, and it was an emergency assembly from time to time. Although after he left, the young army slackened, but a month of life-playing training on the way north made the soldiers accustomed to this kind of high-intensity training again. Although there were some complaints about the emergency assembly and field training on Chinese New Year's Eve, the soldiers quickly carried all the equipment on their backs and completed the assembly.

Wang Xian also appeared in front of the soldiers with forty pounds of carrying equipment on his back, and the officers and soldiers were busy greeting the military advisors. Wang Xian waved his hand cordially and asked with a smile, "Have you eaten dumplings?" ”

"I've eaten it." The officers and soldiers replied with a smile.

"Are you full?" Wang Xian asked again.

"It's full." The officers and soldiers laughed.

"When you're full, you can't stop exercising, let's have a stretch to digest and digest food, right?" Wang Xian smiled: "The subjects of skiing have all passed, right?" ”

When the officers and soldiers heard that it was a ski, they all breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's passed." ”

The history of skiing in the north is very long, and it is recorded in the "General Dictionary" of the Tang Dynasty that because of the cold earth, early frost and snow, after each solid ice, six inches of Guangmu and seven feet long, are tied to their feet, and the ice is trampled to chase the beasts. In today's northwest and northeast regions, this skill is becoming more and more advanced, and the border people tie their feet with five-foot-long wooden boards, hold long poles, and row the snow forward, and the board can travel more than ten miles in an instant...... It runs freely, even if the birds are not as good as the birds.

This year, it is snowing in the whole northern country, and Shanxi has not stopped all winter, when it was decided to attack Guangling, Wang Xian was the first to think of letting the soldiers master the skills of skiing. When he reported this idea to Zhu Zhanji, His Royal Highness the Taisun did not hesitate to order Xue Huan, Cheng Zheng and others to draw up training regulations...... They are all officers taught by Wang Xian, so they are naturally no strangers to this set. They first found out from among the officers and men of the whole army who could ski in Liaodong and Hebei, and then worked out a training program with them, and then rushed to make a batch of planks and long poles, and then practiced by example.

Compared with the boring training of the column, the painful marching training, and the martial arts drill that hurts the dead, the training of skiing is novel and interesting, and it can also earn points, which is naturally very popular with the officers and soldiers.

"Let's go, then!" Wang Xian gave an order, and the soldiers tied up their skis and slowly walked out of the barracks. The 10,000 army was divided into three teams, Xu Huaiqing and Mo Wen led 3,000 elite soldiers as the vanguard, Wang Xian and Xue Huan led 3,000 people as the Chinese army, and Cheng Zheng led 3,000 people to the rear of the palace. The remaining nearly 2,000 men, under the leadership of Xianyun, Wu Wei, Erhei, Song Zhong and others, guarded the main roads from Taiyuan to the north, intercepting and killing the messengers who reported the news.

Before, thinking that the old lady was wearing filial piety, Wang Xian asked the king of Jin to distribute white hats and white cloaks to the army, and at this time ordered the soldiers to cover their armor, not only to block the wind, but also to be the same color as the snowfield, which was very difficult to detect. When the soldiers left the camp and trekked to the snow several feet deep, they immediately became lighter, they sank down, held their canes, and slowly glided, sliding faster and faster, like white swallows, speeding across the snowy fields and galloping north!

Heavy snow was falling, quickly obscuring the trail of their .......

Skiing on a snowy night is a wind, and it's definitely not pleasant. Although the soldiers were all dressed thickly, they were still quickly frozen, the cold wind cut their faces like knives, their bones seemed to freeze, and their whole bodies did not feel at all, but they slid forward mechanically...... It is not tight to go downhill or on flat ground in this way, but it is miserable when encountering uphill, and the soldiers have to exert their strength to feed before they can move their legs uphill a little bit, which is extremely difficult. And Shanxi is a series of mountain beams and mountains, even the official road is undulating...... Therefore, the speed of skiing was not as fast as I thought, and I marched rapidly all night, and when the sky was bright, I only went fifty miles.

At this time, it was finally time to rest, and when the whistle was heard, the soldiers lay upright on the snow as if they had been pardoned, gasping for breath. "Get up, get up, don't die!" The officers hurriedly pulled and kicked them up from the snow, and if they fell asleep on the snow, they would surely freeze to death!

The only thing that comforted the soldiers was the soju that was distributed before the expedition, and they huddled together to keep warm, took a sip of the wine bag, and passed it on to the next person. After a sip of soju, the soldiers finally felt a trace of warmth, but in a blink of an eye, their eyes were frozen again......

Xue Huan inspected the circle, returned to the guards who had temporarily dug into the snow fence, and saw Wang Xian looking at the map there, he asked in an urn voice: "Military advisor, how far is it to Guangling?" ”

"Three hundred miles to go." Wang Xian took out a wine jug from his arms, threw it to him and said, "What's the matter, you're in a hurry?" ”

Xue Huan turned out to take a sip of the hot soju with the body temperature, felt the whole body was hot, and said with a slight pale: "No, so you have to slide for three days at the earliest." Now the sons and daughters have frostbitten, and in three days, I am afraid that few will still be able to fight. After a pause, he said: "And three days is too long, I'm afraid the news can't be blocked." ”

"Hehe......" Wang Xian glanced at him with some surprise and said: "Shibei should be impressed in three days, your kid has grown a lot." ”

"Can you still not grow?" Xue Huan sneered: "Otherwise, my eldest brother will be angry." ”

"yes, I thought you'd be angry if I didn't let you play as a striker." Wang Xian smiled: "Unexpectedly, you didn't lose your temper. ”

"I know that the military division of the Dao is for my good." Xue Huan smiled embarrassedly: "I used to be too muddy, don't take it to heart...... military advisor"

"So you won't make a fuss in the future?" Wang Xian said happily.

"No, I can't embarrass my brother." Xue Huan puffed up his chest.

"Good job," Wang Xian said with a heavy thump on his chest, "Go, appease the brothers, and set off after a stick of incense!" ”

"Whoa!" Xue Huan turned around and walked out of the hall with a sound, took a step but turned back, and said depressedly: "Military advisor, you haven't answered me yet." ”

"Mountain people have their own tricks." Wang Xian smiled mysteriously.

"Sell it again." Xue Huan muttered, but didn't say much, and went down......

After a stick of incense, the army continued to set off. It is said that this kind of surprise attack, in order to avoid exposure, should be day and night, but the dense goose feather snow is overwhelming, and the scenery beyond ten zhang can not be seen clearly, so there is no need to worry about the whereabouts will be exposed, and it is a daytime march that can be boldly and reassuring. It's just that everything has its advantages and disadvantages, and marching in such a big wind and snow is too great a physical drain on the officers and soldiers.

The wind blew more and more tightly, the snow fell heavier and heavier, the weather became colder and colder, the soldiers rowed the thick snow, and from time to time there were soldiers who were frozen to death on the side of the road.

After walking for another forty miles, the soldiers finally couldn't help but stop and protest, they elected more than a dozen military leaders, and went to the military advisor to present their feelings, a general banner named Ma Zhou, and cautiously said to Wang Xian: "Military advisor, the brothers have made a military order and promised to prohibit it, but please let us die and die clearly...... It's really not like it's training, what are we going to do? "Although the usual training is also very harsh, I have never disregarded the life and death of the soldiers...... If it weren't for the numbness of the soldiers' minds from the cold, they would have asked this question a long time ago.

Wang Xian didn't hide it from them at this time, and said lightly: "We are going to Guangling to suppress bandits." ”

The soldiers were shocked when they heard this, and boldly asked, "Do we have reinforcements?" ”

"Yes." Wang Xian cut the railway.

"Where?"

"Waiting for us ten miles ahead." Wang Xiandao.

Hearing that there were reinforcements, the soldiers were very excited, although they had a lot of complaints about fighting in this weather, but the military orders were like a mountain, and no one dared to talk nonsense, so the heads of the army went back to appease the soldiers, and the army continued to advance north.

"Strategist, do we really have reinforcements?" After the leaders of the army left, Xue Huan asked in surprise.

"There is no joke in the army." Wang Xian Zhengse said, and said with a little weakness: "I only said yes, but I didn't say much......"

...... "Xue Huan, this Khan, I wonder if the soldiers will rebel when they find out that they have been fooled?"

The soldiers had hope, and the marching speed was much faster, and in the blink of an eye, they slid out ten miles, and saw a shiny ice belt in front of them!

But everyone's attention is not on the frozen river, but on the fabled reinforcements. Finally, they saw a horse galloping on the ice, and when they got closer, they realized that it was actually a young Mongolian.

The scout was about to take it down, but he kept saying that he wanted to see him.

"What is a forehead?" The scout asked strangely.

"The forehead is not a thing, he is your military advisor!" The Mongolian youth said simply.

"**** Niang's Delentai," At this time, the scout captain rode his horse to the front, and recognized the Mongol at a glance: "You dare to arrange our military division!" As he spoke, he turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "You damn me to death." ”

"Brother Zhou Qiang," the Mongolian young man also dismounted with a look of surprise on his face, and hugged the scout captain vigorously: "I miss you too!" But what do you mean by me arranging your military advisors? ”

"It's a ......" The scout captain named Zhou Qiang walked through the Hanhai Gobi with Wang Xian, and the Mongolian youth was Delentai, the younger brother of the Borzigit warrior Delemu. Although the two belong to two races, they have had that unforgettable period of living and dying together, and they are really closer than brothers. Zhou Qiang slapped him vigorously and scolded with a smile: "That's what it means!" Saying that, he asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"It was the forehead who called us here." Delentai said: "We have been here for two days, and we have brought 3,000 horse-drawn sleighs to wait for you on this Hutuo River!" ”
