Chapter 159: Encounter (1)

Some of the marching teams were relaxed, while others were hard. The relaxed ones were naturally the two-person sleds in front, and Yang Heng had no relaxation inside. He was holding the simple map and was considering how to cooperate with Li Jing to fight this battle.

In the army, my father was quite relaxed. He just followed him in the middle of the army. He didn't need to think about anything. As a general who led troops, he was really unqualified. He could only be a general who charged.

The soldiers worked very hard. From time to time, they would follow the instructions of the major general in front, either to push carts or lead horses. However, despite the hard work, they were still grateful to Yang Heng. You should know that before the march, Yang Heng mobilized all the women from twelve villages to surround the armor of these soldiers, with the purpose of not letting these soldiers be too cold and even to get hurt by the armor. When they had received such treatment, they would naturally march more carefully when marching and preventing these vehicles from suffering any losses.

The more you go north, the thicker the snow becomes, and the road becomes a little harder. Before you know it, you have been marching for twenty days.

"Where is this?" Yang Heng looked through the map in annoyance, why there was no sign on it.

"Report to General, we are about to arrive in Dingxiang ahead, and General Li's team has also arrived at Eyangling. Our goal this time is Jie Li Khan in Dingxiang."

No wonder there is no sign on the map. It has reached the enemy's nose, so why is no one coming to lead the way? It is probably snowy, and both sides have just walked around.

Sure enough, later, Yang Heng learned that General Li Jing had sent someone to greet them, but the people who came out to pick them up had gone to two sides with Yang Heng's team. How important this map is. Fortunately, General Li Jing had already arrived at Eyangling after receiving Li Er's order and was about to launch a sudden attack. But in this way, Li Er's order stopped the action.

Yang Heng came to his father with the scout who came back to report. Yang Heng was just a military officer, not a vanguard, nor a formal combatant, so his father basically couldn't control Yang Heng, and Yang Heng had more roles as a staff officer in his father's eyes.

So, when the scout came to report, the father looked at Yang Heng.

"Have you investigated the number of Jie Li's troops, and how are their troops garrison nearby?" "Return to the Major General, Bei Shi has not conducted a reconnaissance yet." "Then continue the reconnaissance, Grandpa, let's stop now, first build the camp. Then send someone to contact the general to see what he said and to make the soldiers ready to attack. We can't say that we can attack at any time."

The father was not unintentional, but in front of Yang Heng. The father was a little restrained. The father knew that he could come to this team because of Yang Heng. In other words, the general of this team was Yang Heng, not Yang Heng's father, which was the reason why he was restrained.

"Yes." The soldier stood at attention. He answered not "Promise" but "Yes." Originally, Yang Heng wanted to join the military rituals of later generations, but after thinking about it carefully, it would be better to forget it. Sometimes these soldiers still had to kneel down. Yang Heng did not have the ability to waive the kneel down. So let's just raise his hand to give up. Usually, the etiquettes in the army of this era are still the same.

The camp is easy to build because there are many vehicles, and there are two vehicles for each fire, and they are all heavy vehicles. In this way, the soldiers quickly cleared out a clearing of the snow, then placed the tent inside, and there were specially designed equipment for vehicle pressing next to the tent. Once the vehicle was compacted, the tent in the middle could be supported. So a team of tents was completed, and then a horse was laid out for a team of horses next to the tent, so people also had a place to live and horses also had a place to live.

The bed where the soldiers slept was a rope bed, and there were some places for tying ropes in the tent, and there were hooks hanging on the car outside, while there were iron knives stuck on the ground outside the car, and they were pulled with ropes, so the iron knives, pulling ropes, hooks, and ropes together formed a large rope bed, enough for fifty people to rest on it, and it was still the nature of a large bunk bed.

With these equipment alone, Yang Heng prepared an additional car for each team, which could be put down and then had things like bedding, which were all placed on the back of the war horse.

If the tent is cold, Yang Heng has also designed several ways to dig fire pits. Several fire pits can be dug in each tent. These fire pits have passages for firewood and smoke, which means that the people in the tent will not be attacked by fireworks.

In short, Yang Heng's idea is to try not to prevent soldiers from losing non-combatically. Other arrangements are the arrangements of this era, and there is no shortage of obstacles or other things.

However, Yang Heng still aimed all the crossbows outside the tent in the direction of the enemy. If the enemy came from another direction, he would quickly transfer these tanks.

At this time, the scouts were the most idle profession. Just when the soldiers were resting, the scouts were still conducting reconnaissance in the wild. However, the reconnaissance had changed their mounts. They put the horses in the camp tent, but instead replaced the snowboards equipped by Yang Hengxin. If you want to say that this snowboard was more useful than war horses. First of all, the snowboard can be used in any place. As long as there is enough snow, even in the deep snow, it will not fall into it. Even if you meet the enemy, you can quickly avoid the enemy and even lead the enemy to a dead end. Besides, the equipment that the scouts carried with them, Yang Heng had already withdrawn all their weapons. The only thing left was a horizontal knife, which was intended to cut down some thorns on the road. Similarly, these scouts could not take the risk of fighting against the enemy for their military achievements.

Besides, they were replaced with white cloaks. These cloaks could protect their figures very well. The only ones were either white or the veil on their faces. But when they were facing the enemy, the enemy would definitely not find their existence, but they were facing the enemy head-on. At a certain distance, it was difficult for the enemy to discover the existence of these scouts because their eyes were reflected by snow.

When these scouts were rushing past the snow like lightning, they were discovered by the enemy. There was only a white shadow in their eyes. They would never believe that this was the scout of the Tang soldiers.

But that's it, these scouts discovered the matter. There was a Turkic army scout riding horses in front of them to find out the news. Seeing their rough reconnaissance efforts, the scouts laughed. The Major General was so powerful. His training and equipment were so good. At this time, the Turkic scouts were still dazed. What was flashing in front of them? Could it be that they were dazzled? But there were two faint traces left on the ground. What was left? Was it left by the gods? Thinking about it, they were a little scared, so they rode back.
