Yang Fan was very lazy when he had nothing to do. After finishing the military deployment ceremony today, he felt very tired. At this time, he didn't want to move at all.
Ge You was slumped against the seat and cushions. The ladies had long been accustomed to the master's tired look.
Yang Fan's underwear was very loose and comfortable.
Yang Fan discovered that ancient home clothes were more comfortable than modern pajamas, and they were made of silk, making them very skin-friendly and breathable.
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru also changed into the modern nightgowns they got from Yao Guang before setting off, and they were still taking pictures in front of the mirror happily.
"Master, does it look good?" the young lady said in a timid voice.
She was wearing a purple suspender nightdress, and Lin Yueru was wearing a pink one.
"It looks good, my wife is the prettiest." Yang Fan said lazily.
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru got into his arms, one on the other, and lay on his chest. Xiao Niangpi said coquettishly: "Master, we have been married for so long, how come there is no movement between the two of us? How about we find someone?
Doctor, let’s take a look. Drink some decoction and try it.”
Yang Fan shook his head helplessly and said: "What are you thinking about all day long? We have only been married for a few months, not even half a year. It is not normal to have no children. Besides, it is not your problem."
The two girls immediately grasped the key point, and it was not their fault.
The two looked at each other suspiciously, could it be the master's problem?
As soon as Yang Fan looked at them, he knew what they were thinking.
He smiled bitterly and said, "It's not my problem, sir."
"What's the problem?" the two asked together.
In this era, having children is a top priority, so the two of them cannot help but be nervous.
Yang Fan is a little depressed. He is only nineteen years old this year and has only just reached adulthood, okay?
I'm not ready to be a father at such an early age.
Besides, as a newlywed, he hasn't fully enjoyed it yet, and he's a little reluctant to have a baby now.
But considering that it was quite painful for them to think about this matter all day long.
So he said: "Have you seen me meditating every day? In fact, it is a kind of Qigong practice, uh, it is equivalent to the guidance technique of the Ming Dynasty."
"Sir, are you a disciple of Taoism? Why do you practice Daoyin?" Lin Yueru asked curiously. In this era, Daoyin is a Taoist secret.
But then she remembered that the first time she met Yang Fan was in an inn in Zunhua.
That was the hidden stake of Dongchang. Master Tu Shanyong hosted a banquet for Yang Fan at that time, and he was also present.
At that time, Tu Shanyong asked Yang Fan about his origins. Yang Fan said that his teacher was called Xiaoyaozi. Tu Shanyong also asked whether the respected master was from the Taoist sect.
"I remembered, my master's master is called Xiaoyaozi, he should be a Taoist master." Xiao Niangpi also remembered. "Sir, you won't abandon us and run away to cultivate immortality."
The little girl immediately became vigilant. If Yang Fan dared to imitate that sloppy Zhang, abandoning his wife and children and running to the Zhongnan Mountains to practice Taoism and seek immortality, he would be beaten to death. Let’s see if he still dares to get mad.
Yang Fan saw the girl's eyebrows raised up, and suddenly felt something bad. He quickly explained:
"Actually, you two don't have to think too much. This Kung Fu is for strengthening your body. I won't lose my mind and run away to cultivate immortality or something."
"This set of kung fu needs to be refined and transformed into qi in the early stages. Therefore, there will be no heirs until it is completed. As long as all the qi channels are opened and the kung fu is completed, it will naturally return to normal."
"So, you two, keep your hearts in your stomach and don't think about this matter all the time. Besides, you are not very young, so you have to have children after you are twenty years old. It is too early, and it is not good for your health.
"
"You two are still young. You can play happily for a few years before you have a baby. Once you have a baby, you won't be as free as you are now."
After some coaxing from Yang Fan, the two of them became happy again.
The ship sailed very slowly, mainly to keep pace with the march of the army. When the army rested at noon, the ship stopped. In the afternoon, when the army set off, it continued to weigh anchor and set off.
For three consecutive days, the army marched smoothly and had penetrated deep into the grassland without encountering the Mongols.
The staff officers were a little nervous, wondering what the Mongols were up to.
The lack of hostility made them nervous.
The scouting group of 300 people worked in three shifts, and one-third of them were sent out every eight hours. They were all composed of one person and three horses, and five people in a team. They scouted the enemy's situation around the army from a distance.
At noon on the fourth day, Yang Fan decided not to leave and set up camp on the spot.
Send the order, we will not leave today, let everyone have a good rest, and we will continue to set off tomorrow morning.
At the same time, they also began to increase the search scope and conduct large-scale reconnaissance of the enemy. First, we should find out the deployment of the Mongols. After all, Duolun is not far away.
He left the fortress with great fanfare, and the Mongols' meticulous work had already sent the news back. They probably knew that they were powerful. They were also looking for a position for the decisive battle.
This is the grassland, their home field. They must choose the terrain that is favorable to them and fight Yang Fan's main force.
Now, the march has gone halfway and the decisive battle is getting closer.
This trek was quite strenuous as the infantry had to walk all the way. Fortunately, it was not cold yet, so the soldiers were wearing Jiefang rubber shoes, which was relatively relaxed. If the weather got cold, they would have to wear suede leather shoes or even leather boots, which would be heavier.
Yang Fan felt that he could not just rush on the road, but should also maintain his physical strength appropriately. It was impossible for the Mongols not to stop them. It was impossible to fight if they were exhausted.
The campsite was quickly found. It was a small highland by the river.
The highest point is about twenty meters higher than the surrounding area. It is a small hill.
There is a very wide lake here, which can accommodate 60 boats. Otherwise, it would be a long stretch of river, which would not be conducive to defense.
The 3,600 troops guarding Qianhu Station were exactly the same as Yang Fan's regiment-level troops. They were called the Cheying Regiment. They camped at this time. The Cheying Regiment put the side cars on the shore and surrounded them on three sides as a barrier.
The parking method of the car camp is different from that of Daming. The side of Daming is facing outward, and the shaft and rear of the car are connected with steel hooks.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The car camp is from the rear of the car facing the outside. There is a distance of about five meters between the cars. The vehicle-mounted steel plates and brackets are used to create an effect similar to a modern construction site wall.
defense.
The advantage is that you don't have to unload the pack horse. You can leave at any time when you need to. After all, it takes a lot of time to unload the horse and re-hitch it.
The horses sleep standing up, and Yang Fan's carriages are all four-wheeled carriages, and the horses do not bear weight. Therefore, there is no need to unload the horses when camping. As long as they are fed with feed and water.
In the method of connecting end to end with the sides facing outward, the horses must be unloaded, otherwise, the horses will be attacked by the enemy.
Moreover, in a two-wheeled carriage, the horses bear a heavy load, and the horses cannot rest well unless they are unloaded. They will have no physical strength the next day.
Yang Fan's car camp has the rear of the car facing the outside, and the 500-pound copper-fired cannon installed at the rear of the car also faces the outside. This relatively heavy artillery has strong recoil when fired on the side of the car, and can easily damage the vehicle structure.
After the car camp is set up, it looks like a blue city wall standing on the grassland from the outside. The steel plate is three meters high and cannot be climbed without tools.
There are also shooting holes for firing muskets and crossbows. There are also simple gates and small gates that can allow a single person to enter or exit, or a large number of cavalry to enter and exit.
Behind the wall, there are watchtowers assembled from steel pipes every fifty meters, which are used for observation and as arrow towers.
All other troops camped in separate areas within the wall. It was very safe.
According to the code of conduct and regulations, the camp has complete regulations. Every camp area is closed, and it is prohibited to wander around without orders. There are passwords for entry and exit that change every day. Toilets have been dug in the camp area, and pressurized water wells have been built to facilitate washing and washing.
Drinking water and cooking.
This kind of pressurized water well is very convenient. It can be completed quickly by drilling it with a steel pipe. When leaving, just pull out the steel pipe and take it away.
Yang Fan felt that groundwater was safer than river water, with fewer microorganisms, and the Mongols had a bad habit of throwing dead livestock into water sources. Many armies were defeated by the Mongols' bacterial warfare. Therefore, it was safer to dig wells and use underground water.
It is right next to the river. Under normal circumstances, it is easy to get water from the river.
The supplies are all loaded on the ship, which greatly reduces the burden on the troops. Other troops carry three days' emergency rations and three basic ammunition.
But if you head deeper into the grassland, the transport group's seven-ton load capacity and four-wheeled caravan will be the main force of transport.
Yang Fan's cowhide gold tent is camped at the highest point. From here, you can clearly see the surrounding places far away. It is convenient for Yang Fan to command.
In the evening, Yang Fan and his two wives stayed in the big tent. Guards camps were stationed around.
Yang Fan plans to wait here for the Mongols to come for a decisive battle. This is a preset position that is beneficial to Yang Fan. If the Mongols don't come, then continue marching to increase pressure on the Mongols.
