Chapter 062: Running, Running
As soon as the tired people stop, their muscles will become sore and their spirits will slacken, making it difficult to stand up again. Now, after Mao Wenlong's team ran a record-breaking hundred miles, they all collapsed on the road. No matter what you do,
Despite all the earnest persuasion, no one made any move. Furthermore, it is too early to say that this team is an army. They are just young and strong refugees put together temporarily. They have no discipline at all. Now, the marching law for them is,
It was indeed a bit cruel. With no choice, Mao Wenlong had no choice but to order the army to rest for half a night. According to Zhang Pan's estimation, he still had at least a day and a half to make arrangements.
After half a night's rest, after everyone gnawed on the cold horse meat, Mao Wenlong ordered his troops to continue marching towards the predetermined target. It was delayed for half the night, which made Mao Wenlong very sad and anxious. Now he must do it at all costs
, regain the lost time.
But fortunately, Mao Wenlong was greatly relieved by the tenacity of these soldiers.
Not having enough to eat and not wearing warm clothes made these soldiers extremely weak, but it was the tempering of this kind of suffering that made their fatigue-resistant resilience far beyond Mao Wenlong's expectations. Especially these battles
A man who has been crawling around in the mountains since he was a child, he is as good as walking up mountains and ridges, through forests and streams. On the contrary, he, a tall guy who usually eats and drinks all the time, is far inferior to these people.
"Father, please ride a horse for a while." Mao Zhongming ran over and said to Mao Wenlong with concern.
Now Mao Wenlong was running so hard that he almost vomited. His whole chest felt like it was going to explode, and the outside air could hardly be absorbed.
But looking at the similarly tired soldiers, if he rode on the horse, it would be a blow to the entire new army. He must set an example and inspire everyone to have the courage to run.
So Mao Wenlong rejected Mao Zhongming's kindness and deliberately said loudly, "The soldiers are all running on foot. As the commander of the first army, I must set an example and run with the soldiers to the destination. Even if I run to death, I must persist."
Such words were heard by the running soldiers, so a soldier shouted excitedly: "The commander is running with us. The commander has decided to run to the destination with us. Come on, brothers."
In this era, the hierarchy is so strict that officials, even if they are as big as sesame seeds and mung beans, have to dominate in front of the common people. The generals march and ride horses, which is already very particular.
Yes, some generals do not ride horses during the march. They go to the battlefield in sedan chairs. If the soldiers have any complaints, they will be killed in the Seventy Rules and Fifty-four. It is definitely not a show, they are really killed.
But now, his commander-in-chief, the great guerrilla general of the Ming Dynasty, wants to run with everyone, even if he runs to death on the road, why doesn't such behavior boost morale?
Mao Wenlong's words were conveyed one after another, and the morale of the army rose again in the blink of an eye. The fatigue that everyone felt before seemed to be wiped away at this time, and everyone was inspired to strength again. Invisibly, the team moved forward.
The speed increased again.
Mao Zhongming couldn't defeat his adoptive father, so he had no choice but to lighten his burden. He took away the sword, then the armor, and then only a pair of underwear.
Fortunately, running generates heat. If it weren't for the cold weather, Mao Zhongming's kindness would definitely kill him. No, he would freeze to death a Ming Dynasty guerrilla general.
But even so, Mao Wenlong still dared to bear the heavy burden. The previously fluttering underwear was like Mount Tai at this moment, weighing him down and making him unable to breathe.
He also knew that this was a sign that his physical energy was about to be exhausted. Even if he ran naked on a moonlit night, he felt that he would not be favored by this.
Running, running, running, climbing mountains and wading in rivers, crossing forests and streams, finally in the second half of the night, just before Mao Wenlong was really about to run to his death, the army arrived at the destination they wanted to reach - Yingzui Peak.
The North Korean guide pointed at the space between the sky and the earth. In the moonlight like daylight, there was a huge, frightening black shadow. He panted to Mao Wenlong and said, "Commander, in front of you is Yingzui Peak, which leads from Zhenjiang to Sinuiju."
The only way we must pass is to circle at the bottom of the mountain, with cliffs on one side and an abyss on the other. As long as we occupy the top of the cliff, there are thousands of troops below, and a single stone can wipe them out."
After leaning on his two knees and coughing violently for a while, Mao Wenlong raised his head and looked at the gloomy mountain peaks standing in the sky. The people were so black and oppressive that they couldn't breathe. A huge waterfall, in this winter, formed
There is a huge and majestic ice waterfall hanging in Chengli. In the moonlight, it flashes with pale light, just like the tongue sticking out of the man-eating mouth of the strange monster Yingzui Cliff. I can't help but sigh at the uncanny workmanship of creation.
We are about to climb the steep cliff to enter the ambush position. Let's take a rest first, otherwise our hands and legs will be weak when climbing the mountain, which may lead to death.
At this time, several capable hunters sent out by Song Dynasty to observe ran back and reported to Mao Wenlong a piece of news that everyone should be happy about: "Judging from the conditions of the road ahead, there is no sign of the passage of the army. In other words, we are rushing to
before the enemies in Zhenjiang."
This is indeed encouraging news. Everyone ran over as tired as dogs. As a result, the enemy's reinforcements passed by. Not only did everyone's journey go in vain, but the most important thing was that they lost a thousand of their most elite troops.
The old camp is already quite empty, just an empty frame. When Amin's two armies meet, they will definitely not just travel around and miss each other. They will immediately launch an attack on their own camp.
At that time, a massacre will inevitably occur. Even if people like him want to go back and fight, they will never be able to catch up. Thinking about that woman with a charming smile, Mao Wenlong's heart can't help but twitch.
But fortunately, this kind of tragedy will not happen again, because he has gained time, because since Amin has issued an order to mobilize troops, before the reinforcements arrive, according to human nature, he will never launch an attack on his old camp.
