Chapter 608: A Unique Way of Marching (Part II)


"If you can't bear it, you will continue to practice, as a soldier to eat food, protect your family and defend the country, you don't even have the most basic physical strength, how can you expect you to go to the battlefield, is it possible that when the enemy pursues and kills you, you can still wait until you have enough physical strength to chase after you" Li Muyun glared, but he really had a bit of a general's demeanor, but this metaphor was a little inappropriate, which made many captains feel a little unbalanced.

It's just that Li Muyun didn't give them a chance to continue talking, glanced at them and said: "On this march, every four regiments are in a group, everyone has different routes, some people may be longer distances, some people may be shorter, but Lao Tzu doesn't want to hear any excuses, in short, when it comes to the assembly time, if you don't arrive, you will roll to Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu's team does not need to be seeded."

Speaking of the misbreed, a group of big-headed soldiers all showed angry expressions on their faces, they were all bloody men in the barracks, honor was far higher than life in their eyes, if they were driven out with the reputation of a misbreed, I was afraid that no army would receive them in the future.

Besides, everyone is human, they all have two legs and a stomach, there is no reason why others can't do it themselves, and isn't it just running away, it's not a big deal.

That night, Li Muyun's order was conveyed, and at the same time, his students were also sent to the troops below to serve as temporary guides.

These students were not idle during the march in the past few days, following them during the day, and at night they all gathered at Li Muyun's Zhongjun tent to learn how to identify directions, how to use a compass, and how to draw a map by hand.

Although it was a little hard, because everyone was a classmate and a young person, no one wanted to be despised by others, so even if they were tired, they gritted their teeth and endured it, and secretly competed with each other.

Li Muyun liked this atmosphere very much, and was happy in his eyes, and waited until all of them had mastered the knowledge of discerning the direction, and then he gave all the orders to start from actual combat, and divided the troops into several groups, each group of four regiments for rapid marching training.

And with the issuance of the order, the hard days of these 10,000 soldiers are really coming, carrying dozens of pounds of weight, marching an average of 80 miles a day, which is simply desperate, even if the cavalry troops march for a long distance, in order to save the carriage, they will travel 50 to 60 miles, and as a result, they will walk farther than the cavalry on foot.

In addition, it has to be said that because of experience, many troops will take the wrong road or go in the wrong direction when marching in the mountains, and what Li Muyun's students have learned is too theoretical, and there will always be errors of one kind or another when encountering the actual situation.

And such an error occurs in reality, and it is necessary for those big-headed soldiers to make up for it with blood blisters on their feet.

However, what makes Li Muyun more gratifying is that even so, those troops have never been left behind, and those who have not yet set off and experienced training will often find opportunities to ask their seniors for advice and sum up experience, while those who have experienced training do not hide their personal interests and answer all questions.

Under such circumstances, there was a frenzy of learning to catch up and surpass in the team, rushing during the day and studying and summarizing at night.

In the corner of Li Muyun's military tent, there was always a group of people around the map discussing the marching route and formulating the next goal.

Although those teams who had already walked through once independently taught their experience to those who had not walked, this did not mean that they were good people, because the task of formulating the marching route was quickly handed over to them from Li Muyun.

As comrades-in-arms, it is definitely a rare fun thing to pit teammates during training, so these guys desperately set up obstacles for the new team, deliberately picking some more difficult routes to set up.

The further they go, the more experience they learn, the less they go in the wrong direction, and the difficulties they encounter are often insurmountable obstacles, such as mountain streams, canyons, and rushing rivers.

In Chang'an City, Hou Junji looked at the military reports that came back every three or five times, and he didn't feel anything at first, but soon the old guy was attracted by Li Muyun's team and began to pay attention to them.

Twenty days after Li Muyun's departure, Lao Hou finally couldn't sit still, collected all the military reports about this team, and entered the palace.

Li Er had nothing to do at this time, he was looking at a book with an unknown name, and when he saw Junji coming to see him, he put the book down and said, "Junji, what's the matter?"

Hou Junji didn't say his purpose, but just put a few military reports in his hand on Li Er's table: "Your Majesty, you can take a look at these military reports." ” "Li Muyun's team" Li Shimin's eyes swept over the first military newspaper above, and just looked at the headline on it, he frowned slightly: "What's wrong with his team?"

Although Li Shimin handed over the team of 10,000 people to Li Muyun, in the final analysis, he was still a little uneasy, although this guy often had amazing actions, but the turtle is the turtle, and it can never be compared with those generals who have a heritage.

You must know that even if the second bastard Cheng bites Jin, he is actually not Bai Ding, his father is also a figure who was the governor of Jeju in the Sui Dynasty.

So when he saw that Hou Junji brought a military report related to Li Muyun, the first thought in his heart was that something had happened.

However, Hou Junji sold Guan Zi at this time, and pointed to the military reports with a complicated expression: "Your Majesty, you better take a look first." ” Li Shimin saw that Lao Hou was still in the mood to sell Guanzi, his heart was slightly relieved, he was originally most worried about the mutiny of the soldiers, but Hou Junji's attitude showed that the matter was not serious to that extent.

But when Li Shimin hastily flipped over the war report, his face changed, as an old emperor who fought a war, he quickly discovered the doorway, pushed those military reports to the side, and said with the same complicated expression: "Is this kid crazy for twenty days, the time has run for nearly two thousand miles, and there are still back and forth, what does he want to do?"

"I don't know."

Hou Junji shook his head and said very puzzledly: "Your Majesty, an average of 100 miles a day's march, and it is still a foot army, which is far beyond the normal range of the march, this, what is this Xiaoyao King doing?"

"What is the morale of the soldiers, what complaints can there be in the army" Compared with knowing Li Muyun's purpose, Li Er was more concerned about the mutiny, and now Li Shimin has begun to regret his hasty decision.

"There are no complaints, and besides, the spies who came back from delivering the news are in high spirits, judging from this, the morale of the team led by King Xiaoyao has not fallen, on the contrary, it is still a little bursting" Hou Junji really didn't know what words to use to describe it, and in the end he could only borrow a word he heard from Li Muyun.

Now, it was Li Shimin's turn to be circled, he took back the battle report and read it again, frowned and said: "The average marching speed of 100 miles a day did not exhaust those soldiers, but the morale was high, how do you say this bastard did it?"

Hou Junji smiled bitterly: "The ministers don't know, but King Xiaoyao seems to have a ability to incite people's hearts, and it is not surprising that such a situation occurs." ” Li Shimin was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Focus on Li Muyun to see what kind of mystery he has been doing during this time, and why he is marching so fast." ” "Nuo" Hou Junji agreed to retire and returned to the military headquarters to arrange specific matters.

On the other side, the team led by Li Muyun is also undergoing a rapid transformation, in the past, they only had an elite appearance, no elite connotation, but after a long distance of training, although the faces of these soldiers are deeply tired, but the spirit is different from before.

Modern queue training has given them almost absolute obedience to orders, but this obedience is like a puppet, lacking a kind of spirituality, and it looks like a cold machine.

But after this period of training, the whole team seemed to come to life suddenly, although the soldiers seemed to be much more scattered than before.

The long march was indeed tiring, and the soldiers secretly complained at first, but as time went on, the training continued, and as they solved many difficulties in the mountains and forests that they had never encountered before, gradually some people realized what such training was for.

For many years, they had been fighting enemies on the steppe, and they had almost become accustomed to that way of fighting on the plains.

However, after entering the dense forest, they found that 300 people was almost the limit, and if the number of people was higher, both the transmission of orders and the speed of the march would be greatly affected.

Moreover, from the forest, no spears, axes, or other weapons could be used, and the short daggers they used the most were the ones they were given before the expedition.

What's more, as the territory of the wingmen got closer and closer, the mountains and forests began to become steeper and denser, with vines and poisonous insects on the ground.

When the locusts crawled all over their bodies, they began to understand the benefits of tying trousers and cuffs, and when it suddenly rained heavily, they understood the role of large sheets of oiled paper.

Those lieutenants began to understand that if it weren't for the surprise training during this period of time, if it weren't for the distribution of some equipment that seemed useless, and rushed into the bureaucracy, it was estimated that a large number of people would have died, and they could have summed up the above experience.

With such an idea, there was no need for Li Muyun to formulate a new training plan, and those captains began to organize training spontaneously, even if there was no task, the main force on the march began to slowly walk against the dense mountains and forests, and in the end, the whole team plunged headlong into the depths of the vast mountains.

And as the team entered the mountainous area, Hou Junji was also stunned, and the scouts sent couldn't catch up with the team's shadow at all, and although 10,000 people left countless traces in the secret to track, their speed was still too fast, and people who didn't know the inside story would even think that they were fleeing for their lives.

In Li Shimin's imperial study, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty sat opposite Li Jing, with a chessboard between the two of them, on which there were a few chess pieces scattered on it.

It's just that His Majesty the Emperor obviously didn't have the heart to play chess, twisted a chess piece taken out of Li Jing's chess basket, stared at the chessboard for a long time, and muttered in his mouth: "Medicine Master, is this what Li Muyun said about the mountain combat troops?"

"Your Majesty, minister" Li Jing shook his head, and only sighed for a long time: "Although the King of Freedom looks very arrogant and uninhibited, he has a furrow in his chest, and the ministers are not as good as him."

Li Shimin waved his hand: "The pharmacist should not be arrogant, Mu Yun's kid is certainly a little clever, but he likes to do things with a sword, and he likes to use odd things instead of being right, and he can't compare to a pharmacist who is upright." ” "Hehe" Li Jing smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, don't you hear that there are talents from all generations of the country, and a new generation replaces the old."

Lao Chen has fought all his life, but he is finally old, and the future of Datang still depends on young people, they are the future of Datang. ” Li Shimin listened to the old Li Jing's emotion and smiled and didn't say anything, he knew that Li Jing actually said that.

But then again, if there really is a force that is good at mountain warfare, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing, at least if there is a repetition on the wingman's side, there is no fear that there will be no soldiers to send, or it may also be possible to directly let this mountain force be stationed in the wing, as long as there are 50,000 people, it can protect the southwest and no longer have to worry about trouble.

In addition, the advantage of having a mountain combat unit is that it can defend against the attack of the Tubo people on the spot, and those Tubo people are on the plateau, and they are quite threatening to the Tang Dynasty by taking advantage of the terrain, and they need a good mountain combat force to contain it.

Li Shimin thought about the future arrangements for the southwest, and Li Muyun approached the wings with his army.

In the reckless mountains, the 10,000-strong army has always been so small, but it is precisely because of this that it also provides them with better cover, deep in the dense forest, the warriors adapt to the environment little by little, they begin to get used to boiling water before drinking, and have mastered how to get water in the dense forest, if to make traps.

The smallest combat unit of ten people and one fire forms a well-trained combat group, and in the dense forest, they do not rush in a swarm, but form a diamond shape, with a forward, a flank, and a rear, and ten people advance alternately, with a strong crossbow wound, and observe the surrounding movements at any time.

Li Muyun saw all this in his eyes, and couldn't help nodding secretly in his heart, knowing that this period of assault training was not wasted.

Su Wanqing looked at her future husband with admiration, and in just one month, her man trained the previous team of marionettes out of the soul, and the whole team traveled deep in the dense forest, like a ghost.

It is no exaggeration to say that the team she has at hand now, if it meets the previous team, it is difficult to say that it is five times the strength, and if it is about three times the strength, it is not a problem at all, and it can almost be completely defeated.

And those soldiers will also let out a wry laugh when they recall the first time they entered the mountain forest, and their combat skills have not improved in particular, but their understanding of Conglin now makes them feel that they are able to deal with their former selves.

It was under such circumstances that Li Muyun gave the last order before entering the bureaucratic territory, resting in place for three days, and after three days, the whole army entered the bureaucratic territory to suppress the rebellion:
