Zhao Quan, the leader of the sergeant squadron, was completely blindfolded, because he was completely lost in the vast reeds, and he couldn't distinguish the southeast, south, northwest, and northwest, and wanted to find a reference object around, but the reeds were taller than his own size, blocking his vision, and he couldn't see the distance, looking up at the sun, and he could still see it, but at this time it was noon, and the sun was hanging on his head, and he couldn't see the east-west direction at all.
Helpless.
"Big nephew, you have to find a direction, or if we continue like this, we will have to die here."
The cousin who was dressed in reed disguise around him kept urging him.
"We are a disciplined force, and we are on a mission now, you don't want to call me a big nephew, call me squadron leader, or call me Yun Cavalry Captain Yecheng, my Wang squad leader."
Now Zhao Quan cares a lot about his title, but his partner is the general manager of the sergeant, and he is the general manager of the title, but he is also his cousin, and he is really entangled in seniority.
Zhao Quan was the last time in the battle of Montenegro, caught a Niu Lu Ezhen that supervisor sergeant, because of merit, Zhao Quan was promoted to squadron leader, from the sixth rank of the thousand general, and later when the imperial court was promoted to the rain, he was promoted to one level, as the sixth rank cloud cavalry captain, and his partner cousin was also appointed as the squad leader, and the title was the seventh rank of the general, transferred to one level, and became a martial arts lieutenant from the sixth grade, and the two of them can be said to have officially become officials.
Seeing that his nephew had been like this, his cousin pouted: "Then I'm still a military captain, and I haven't seen you call me."
Besides, there are so many of us sergeants, almost all of them are general titles, and your thousand general titles are about to stink on the street, what is the show.
As he spoke, his eyes were firmly fixed on the river fork in front of him, and suddenly he stretched out his hand, and with a bang, he grabbed a large carp that was close to a foot in the water and threw it to the shore.
The number of prison sergeants is limited, and after the last time the imperial court sealed the official rain, the entire prison sergeant suddenly became more officers and fewer soldiers, almost all of them were officials, but everyone was still extremely proud to put this official title on their lips, and the common people thought that this was already the ancestral tomb with green smoke and glory to the ancestors.
"I'm telling you seriously, we're on a mission, throw away those bullshit titles and products, we should only know the ranks of our Fuliao Army, I'm the squadron leader, you must strictly carry out my orders, now, I order you, don't catch any more fish, pay attention to the enemy."
This is the main thing, now there are too many official ranks in the Fuliao Army, for example, in the cavalry team, there is often a squadron leader with a higher rank than the captain, who makes the credit of the squadron leader greater than the captain.
So in the end, everyone still cherishes this official position in the Fuliao Army that is not in line with the Ming Army, which is real.
Uncle Cousin immediately went ashore, honestly squatted on the shore and began to scrape the scales, but he still muttered in his mouth: "It's been two and a half days since I came out, and I caught three Jiannu patrols, but there is still nothing definite to come out, this is better, I lost myself directly, I can't find a home, and your squadron leader is also a dry food for nothing." ” As soon as he said this, Zhao Quan lost his temper, what his cousin said was that he was sent out this time to supervise the movements of the enemy in Panshan, and as a result, such a situation occurred, but who is to blame, the usual training is barren mountains, wild mountains, forests and mountains, this is good, here is like the sea, it is simply a vast reed, and the experience that people usually accumulate is not used at all.
At this time, my cousin squatted there and tinkered quietly, but Zhao Quan immediately became nervous and his scalp was numb: "What are you doing?"
Uncle Cousin glanced at him, "The dry food I brought when I came here has long been gone, this time I caught a live fish, and I will make a fire to roast it." ” "You don't want to die, what kind of place is this, a spark can immediately set the prairie on fire, and then you can't run if I want to, don't eat the grilled fish, we will become roasted people."
Then after thinking about it, the elders and young still took the lion's share, so he took out a cake in his arms and handed it to this cousin: "You can eat this, that sashimi or I will come, according to our supervisor, this thing is quite famous in the Wa country, and the old is noble, if it weren't for our mission this time, we wouldn't be able to eat, too, this place is indeed too rich, and it's really not nonsense to beat the roe deer and scoop fish." ” As a result, the cousin replied to him without raising his head: "You pull it down, the piece of cake in your arms is still waiting to be fed to the pigeons, we can do anything, there are fish in the river, there are crabs, it really can't work, and reed roots, but the carrier pigeon is very delicate, if you don't feed it, how can he deliver the news to people, he doesn't eat meat." ” Zhao Quan looked at the cake in his hand, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and then carefully broke a piece and handed it to the two carrier pigeons in the cage next to him, in fact, the carrier pigeon does not eat the cake, but now there is no way, three days, all the food should be eaten, but he got lost, how can he not find the way home, the carrier pigeon was found, but as soon as this thing was sent out, he immediately flew without a shadow, and he ran after him, Zhao Quan would never think that he could run three hundred miles in an hour, if that he would become a monkey.
When the two of them were muttering quietly, Zhao Quan's ears suddenly stood up, and the sensitivity of his profession made him suddenly vigilant, and he shouted at his cousin who was still muttering about himself, and the cousin habitually immediately threw away the things in his hand, and one threw himself down, and drowned in the ditch beside him, becoming a reed in the ditch, and Zhao Quan immediately hid in the reeds outside the ditch, pressing the pigeon cage tightly under him.
The carrier pigeon is good for everything, but the sound of this wheel is always non-stop, and it is especially easy to expose the target, and none of the prison sergeants want to bring this thing, but in this endless reed, without the existence of carrier pigeons, they must not be able to quickly transmit information back to the headquarters.
The two of them lay on their stomachs for a long time, and Uncle Cousin was already a little impatient, and he was just about to poke his head out in the river and ask, but Zhao Quan once again issued a silent sign to him, and pressed the carrier pigeon in his arms tightly to the ground, for fear that it would make a sound.
After waiting for a while, there was finally a sound of clattering reeds breaking from a short distance, and a burst of Manchu language came.
As a sergeant against the Manchus, the Manchu language must still be understood, so I heard this voice at this time: "Remember the way you came, the brigade still has to follow our route."
Then the voice paused, "Write down the high ground in front, I think the banner master and his brothers can set up camp there tomorrow, it is also the only high ground in this area, if we continue to walk blindly like this, not only will we lose our way, but even the large team of people will lose their way." ” Then another voice continued, "Okay, I've made a note, my lord, we should go back after we were busy in the morning." ” As he spoke, the footsteps that were getting closer and closer to Zhao Quan's position stopped, and after a while, the voice that started said again: "Okay, let's go back now."
Then he sighed: "Alas, this reeds are so annoying, in just these three days, we have lost at least 100 brothers, and we don't know where they are now, so we can only ask for more blessings."
As a result, another voice smiled and said: "They are all experienced brothers, there is no problem at all when they encounter the enemy, and they are all experienced, there is no way to get lost, but they can't starve to death, just in this reed, the fish and crabs in the river are there, the only problem is that we can't make a fire, but we eat raw things in the deep mountains and old forests, and it's not a day or two, and when the big army comes, camp on the high post, light the bonfire smoke, and everyone can find the direction." ” "That's all it can be, then let's go back."
As the voice grew weaker, the footsteps grew farther and farther until they disappeared.
Zhao Quan and his cousin lay on their stomachs for about an hour, and only after making sure that there was no enemy situation around them, did they dare to get up quietly, and they had to be so careful, because last time they encountered three Manchu patrol posts, even in the case of a sudden attack by the two masters, it took a lot of trouble to take down the other party, during this period, Zhao Quan's left rib was also stabbed, which shows how strong the search post they sent out this time was.
Zhao Quan cautiously approached his cousin, and the two of them only discussed carefully: "Tomorrow the enemy's brigade will camp on the platform not far away, this information is very important, we must report it." ” Uncle Cousin also whispered in agreement: "That terrace we passed by when we came, although the terrain is only one or two feet higher than the surrounding area, but it is also the only place in this area where we can camp, but we can't be sure of his location, and we can't find a target on the map given by the local explorer."
Then he slapped his thigh hard: "This damn reed, this damn wetland." ” Zhao Quan was also very distressed that his information was inaccurate, but there was really no way, and in the end he could only say helplessly: "No matter what, we still have to put this news back to the base camp, as for how to judge this location, it can only depend on the ability of those people in the base camp." ” Saying that, he took out a small note in his arms, and simply wrote the situation here with a charcoal strip, and then opened the small pigeon cage, but unfortunately, the two carrier pigeons were just pressed under themselves, and one was suffocated, fortunately, there was a dying one, and after a busy work of two people, they finally saved its little life, and then tied the information to the pigeon's lap and let it out, and the rest of the thing was that the two of them sat here and prayed, because in the vast reeds, they were really powerless. t1706231537:
