Otherworldly Castle Era

In the early morning of the next day, Nanshan City suddenly rained heavily, like a flood of heaven, and it couldn't be stopped.

Zhu Cheng stood in front of the military tent, looking at the gloomy rain curtain, worrying about today's march. It seems that there is no good day to live today.

"Head, do you think it's raining so much, do you postpone your departure?" Taidong was beside Zhu Cheng, also having a headache about the weather.

Zhu Cheng glanced at Taidong and did not reply, but instead asked, "How is the army's preparations?"

"It's ready, you can start at any time." When Taidong heard Zhu Cheng's question, he knew that he was going to continue the march as originally planned.

"That's good." As Zhu Cheng said, he stepped into the rain curtain, only listening to the sound of the rain: "Order the whole army to pull out."

"Yes, commander." Taidong gave a fist to the figure who was going away in the rain screen, and then ordered the messenger who had been standing in the rain screen: "Order the whole army to march."

Under the heavy rain, the vanguard took the supplies, left the camp, and continued to move toward the goal in the north. The unobstructed figures lined up in a neat line, seeing the heavy rain as nothing.

Above the head of Nanshan City, there are some nobles in the city who came to observe when they heard the news, watching the unstoppable Xia State army outside the city like dragons in the rain, winding to the depths of the rain curtain, and bursts of light appeared on their bodies. I don’t know whether it’s the cold in the rain or the feeling of seeing the scenery.

From midday to noon, there was still heavy rain in the sky just now, and it was already the hot sun. Such weather, Zhu Cheng and Taidong, and the Xia people have long been accustomed to it. But even if I know the weather is like this, I still feel very uncomfortable.

Especially when the whole body is soaked and scorching in the sun, the soldiers only feel damp and hot. The shirt on his body was still dripping with water droplets, and the sweat on his forehead was also oozing out. In short, it was unspeakable.

Fortunately, for such a situation, Xia Guo's logistics was well prepared. Just like when he emigrated, every soldier was equipped with a kettle and a small portion of salt to prevent dehydration or heat stroke.

It's just that marching in such weather is very physically demanding, so Zhu Cheng asked the army to rest every 10 kilometers, and it only took 30 kilometers to march in a day.

You must know that in Xia's army, materials and heavy equipment are transported by horses. The soldiers only carry their own weapons and equipment, so the daily trip is still limited.

Today’s people in the Xia country don’t say how good their lives are, but it’s not a problem to eat a meal of meat in a few days. This ensures that the overall physical fitness of the people in Xia country is on the rise, that is to say, the source of Xia’s troops is Getting better.

As the so-called "the people are the foundation of the country", only when the people's livelihood is improved in all aspects, the country will naturally become stronger.

Therefore, the current Xia army does not say that it is the same every day, but it is the same every year. In fact, if it is not for this weather factor, when training and maneuvers are usually carried out, there must be a certain distance even for a day of cross-country travel. Forty to fifty kilometers.

On this day, Zhu Cheng led the vanguard army to continue to advance towards the goal in the north, and obtained forward intelligence: they were about to leave the sphere of influence of the vassal state, and they would enter the target area if they moved forward for two days.

After eight days of continuous marching, the vanguard has advanced more than three hundred kilometers and is not far from the target.

For the past eight days, the vanguard has marched in the territory of the vassal, and it can be described as an infinite scenery. Whenever the army goes to a place, the dignitaries in this place will take the initiative to send grain and water, although the materials sent by these dignitaries are of no use to the Xia army. , But it is still very useful for servants.

Xia Guo's own army has exclusive logistical supplies, and the grain and grass sent from the rear are all finished products, such as convenient and convenient tin cans. This new type of military ration has been well received by the military since its birth, and it has been highly valued by the generals.

The birth of canned food has reduced the pressure on the logistics department by several levels in an instant. From then on, there is no longer any need to worry about moldy and damp food, and no longer have to worry about transportation and storage. It can also provide for the soldiers on the front line. Meals with adequate nutrition, oil and water.

Therefore, how can Xia’s soldiers look at the coarse grains offered by the native barbarians. Even if they were given to horses, Xia’s war horses and horses would be dismissive, and only the servants who had been eating the same kind of food would use it. Got it.

In order to provide food for these indigenous laborers, Xia Guo even regarded the indigenous black beans as an economic crop, and let the people of Xia Guo grow them, and finally the government would purchase them in a unified manner.

For the first time since its birth, the soldiers of the servant army have received such high treatment, not only materially, but also spiritually. Therefore, their morale has risen steadily, and their loyalty to Xia has also increased. Reliable.

Xia Guo's army basically has no morale. Everyone received a good education before joining the army. They knew what they were doing and why they came to the army.

Not to mention that after entering the big family of the military camp, the patriotic ideological education of the staff of the Military Department of Justice and Law every night allows them to understand the multiple responsibilities they shoulder, their sense of honor, sense of responsibility, sense of mission...let these brave men have long been Throw life and death out of consideration.

An army of aspiring young people with knowledge and courage gathered together, I don't know what kind of enemy can be qualified to be hostile! Maybe only opponents of the same level are qualified!

"Regiment commander, UU read www.uukanshu.com The rear command has an order to let our vanguard army be more vigilant and pay close attention to the enemy's dynamics." When the military newspaper that the vanguard is about to arrive at the target reported to Li Jing's headquarters, Li Jing went there. Immediately conveyed the instructions to the vanguard.

Zhu Cheng received Taidong’s communication, and he also knew that the hard work along the way was about to take another step forward. The days later might be harder, but it would become more "interesting".

"Okay, inform the cavalry company to be vigilant when going out for investigation." Zhu Cheng received the order and immediately issued an order to the cavalry company, who was acting as a scout for the vanguard,: "Report the enemy's movements as soon as you detect it."

"Yes, captain." Taidong clasped his fists to take his orders, and when he was about to go down to arrange the army, he saw the marching road flying towards him.

"Bao~" Feiqi rushed to Zhu Cheng and reported: "Qi, the head of the group, there is a river blocking the road ten kilometers ahead, and the bridge on the river has been destroyed, and it is suspected that the enemy is infested."

"Are there traces of the enemy?" Zhu Cheng recalled the map he had in his mind. At this time, the position of the vanguard was still 50 kilometers away from the border of the Yili United. He didn't expect the enemy to have such a courageous person. Send people into the enemy forces to conduct blocking activities.
