As the saying goes, no shoes are poor! No matter how beautiful a military uniform you are, if you don’t have a pair of shiny big leather boots, it will look inferior! So Liu Pei outlined several military uniforms with leather boots and no leather boots in his mind. He found that the appearance without leather boots is indeed much different from that with leather boots.

But then Liu Pei frowned again! This is a considerable expense for matching leather boots to the soldiers. Moreover, it is still a question where this large amount of leather comes from. But when the soldiers wear leather boots, they are not only majestic and beautiful, but also protect the soldiers' feet, as well as warmth and waterproofing, which makes Liu Pei make up his mind to start preparing formal military uniforms when he comes back from the war. Anyway, his own soldiers are all under the name of a servant, and no matter how they wear it, it will not hinder the national law.

Since nearly a hundred large cars followed in the team, the soldiers were carrying a very light weight. Each of them only carried their own weapons and two military blankets, which made the entire team move very quickly.

When the team walked to the evening, Liu Pei chose a place to camp. However, Liu Pei's camping was not as complicated as other troops camping.

If the Ming army was within its own sphere of influence during the march, they would use chariots to set up camps for a short time. They would make the carriages (equivalents, armoured, tents, and wooden fences of the camps) into knife chariots and circle them. Then dig trenches outside the camp, set up horse-resisting formations, deer antlers, and dig pits. Several watchtowers or arrow towers were built.

After Liu Pei ordered camping, the soldiers unloaded a batch of two pairs of iron racks tied together on the chariot. As soon as several soldiers pulled the rack away, the barbed wire mesh, which was nearly one person in the middle, was pulled apart! The barbed wire mesh in the middle was swayed and kinked like a big snake's body. Therefore, this kind of barbed wire mesh is called snake-belly wire mesh.

This thing is one of the latest products of the Academy of Sciences, which shows that Liu Pei's steel mill has mastered the technology of steel drawing. Soldiers just need to pull the barbed wire mesh apart and bury the frames at both ends into the soil to fix them. Then connect the steel frames at the two joints with steel parts. In this way, a polygonal camp will appear. Then fix a few barbed wire mesh on the periphery, and then carry out the next step of work.

After the soldiers installed the barbed wire, they dug a ditch on the periphery of the barbed wire and spread the soil into the camp through the barbed wire. The soldiers inside the camp then built up the soil and patted it firmly, and it became a low chest wall. The soldiers could use the chest wall as a cover. At the same time, the outer ditch could also be used to drain outwards on rainy days.

Then the soldiers pulled out a lot of steel pipes from the car and quickly connected them, and finally laid wooden boards on the top, and a tower stood up. Until then, a real camp was built.

The advantage of using barbed wire to encircle the camp is to save time. And there is also a point where barbed wire will not block outward shooting. When an enemy attacks, soldiers can attack the enemy from any direction!

Moreover, the barbed wire is extremely tough, and when the knife and axe are slashing, he will only bounce softly. He will chop it up in an anxious manner! Moreover, the barbed wire with a chest height is enough to stop the horse from jumping. No matter when the person jumps in, it will only be tightly tied up by the barbed wire and bleed quickly! And the more you struggle, the more you get injured, the more you get!

After the soldiers had sorted out the camp, the villagers had already prepared dinner for the soldiers. The soldiers happily received the dry cakes and hot soup for the evening. The food was as usual, with wild vegetables and bacon and soup cooked with thick soup and dried cakes.

This soup is very thick and has a strong taste. Soaking the cakes in and tastes. Although the taste is only average, the hot soup has enough calories to supplement the soldiers' physical needs.

There is a short free time to move around after dinner, and soldiers can perform simple activities in the camp. However, few soldiers generally do this. After all, after walking for a day, they have to continue rushing tomorrow. It is a good idea to rest early and accumulate energy.

The soldiers slept, but Liu Peike did not sleep because he still had to patrol the camp.

The first thing to look at is the baggage truck. The baggage truck is loaded with a large amount of ammunition, so it is placed separately. After being circled by barbed wire, a chest wall is surrounded outside, and there are special soldiers guarding it.

After a brief chat with the guards, Liu Pei came to the marching kitchen. More than a dozen civilians in the kitchen were busy and busy. They wanted to make all the cakes that the soldiers would eat the next day tonight.

Time is tight and I don’t have time to serve noodles, so I can only make dead noodles cakes.

After coming out of the kitchen, Liu Pei was the tents of the soldiers who inspected the soldiers. When Liu Pei heard the snoring of the soldiers in the tents, he knew that they were indeed exhausted today.

Liu Pei walked around and saw everything everywhere before returning to his tent. When Liu Pei sat on the camp bed, he felt extremely sore! He was riding on the horse. If he walked for the day like the soldiers, he would be so tired!

The guards called Liu Pei to soak his feet to relieve his fatigue. Liu Pei recalled what happened during the day today and fell asleep in fatigue.

Early the next morning, the guards called Liu Pei for breakfast. The officers also gathered in Liu Pei's tent and started to have breakfast. Breakfast was also an early meeting. The officers would summarize what happened during the march yesterday and improve it.

This is one of the main core ideas that Liu Pei brought to this army, that is, learning ability! Under this system, any problem will be discovered and reported by keen officers. They will be discussed at the officer meeting, and opinions will be quickly formed and issued for trial. This will form a feedback cycle, which will make the army more and more elite.

After a few days of monotonous marching, the soldiers had already begun to adapt to this kind of life. Every day after dinner, more and more soldiers were spared to talk nonsense in the camp. This made Liu Pei very happy! This shows that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers has not declined.

As Liu Pei walked out of Shandong and entered Hebei, the relaxed atmosphere no longer existed. Along the way, Liu Pei met many fleeing teams. These people fled from Hebei to Shandong and Henan. Liu Pei also collected some scattered information from these people, but it was useless.

However, Liu Pei had a plan this time, and he didn't plan to go to Beijing at all. You must know that Huang Taiji led an army of nearly 100,000 people this time. Liu Pei's two thousand people were not enough to put the Later Jin army in the battlefield!
