Mohist Tang

Mo Dun suddenly turned on his horse and shouted: “Pay attention to adjust the direction.”

“Take it!” Xue Rengui said loudly. One by one grenades exploded not far from the leading yellow sheep, and the huge sound constantly stimulated the yellow sheep flock to fly away. At the same time, the direction of the entire flock was constantly adjusted by the officers of Firearms Squad, moved towards Tang The Army rushed to the ambush circle.

“Here!”

Mo Dun saw the raised hills ahead, sighed slightly in relief. After the hills, the Tang Army has set up traps. This time the flock of sheep must be The wings are hard to escape, and with the food and grass pressure of this group of yellow sheep, they can relieve themselves.

“Shoot!” Just listen to the shouting loudly coming from behind the hill,

Suddenly, a large rain of arrows pressed against the black moved towards the flock of flocks of flocks that are flying away The flock fell, and the whole flock suddenly lost one’s head out of fear.

However, this is not the end. Waves of ruthless arrows came, and the three shots originally intended for the enemys body were used this time without reservation.

The whole flock of yellow sheep wanted to turn around, but it was too late. Soon a crowd of cavalry encircled, and only a small part of the flock of yellow sheep did not enter the encirclement by chance. The rest of the army was wiped out. Destined to become food for the army.

On a hill, Li Jing watched the entire process of the destruction of the yellow sheep in front of him, and couldn’t help but be moved, saying: “The flock effect is so terrifying.”

Think carefully, is he not the leader at the forefront? A mistake may cause the army to fall into consigned to eternal damnation.

Just when the North Route Army finally had a chance to fight the teeth, the South Route Army led by Hou Junji encountered the most severe test.

The plateau reaction!

Tuyuhuns terrain is high in the south and low in the north. The higher the terrain, the stronger the plateau reaction. Hou Junji chased Tuyuhun as quickly as possible and moved towards the south march at full speed, eventually bringing about serious consequences, many Tang Army plateau reaction is very strong, headache is splitting, battle strength is greatly reduced.

“General Hou! Can no longer advance to high places, 30% of the soldiers have already won the plateau reaction, if they encounter Tuyuhun, I am afraid they will be unable to fight at all.” Li Daozong said with an anxious expression.

Hou Junji complexion sank, he is not unfamiliar with plateau reaction. A year ago, Mohist Family Son proposed the reason for plateau reaction because the terrain is too high and the air is thin, so the army How much fear about this not at all.

Hou Junji took a few breaths hard and said: “It is said that taking Rhodiola for high altitude reaction has some effect, can soldiers take it?”

Li Daozong said with a bitter smile: “Pro Before the trip, the children of Medical School of Thought have given Rhodiola to soldiers, but the effect is not obvious.”

According to previous predictions, the ratio of ordinary person plateau reaction is 70%. Now Only 30%, although taking rhodiola is effective, it is not satisfactory.

“The military order is like a mountain, and the army cannot stop.” Hou Junji shook his head and said.

Li Daozong frowns saying: “But many soldiers can no longer support it.”

These soldiers are all Great Tang men, and they have nowhere to kill the enemy even when the enemy is strong. Fear, but at the moment, the plateau reaction makes Zhengzheng men miserable.

Hou Junji nodded, his face solemnly said: “It seems that you and I can only divide the troops.”

Li Daozong frowned, looking at Hou Junji incredible, the strength of their Southern Route Army There were not many at first, and if the troops were divided, it would appear to be somewhat weak.

“According to Mohist Family Son, once the plateau reaction has no cure, it only takes three to ten days to heal without medicine. I will lead normal soldiers to continue marching high. , You have commanded the soldiers of the plateau reaction marching in the lower terrain. After ten days, the soldiers of the plateau reaction recovered completely, and the two armies reunited again. Hou Junji explained.

“It seems that this is the only thing.” Li Daozong said as he looked at the weak soldiers.

Soon, the South Route Army divided its troops again and headed west. Fortunately, there were no Tuyuhun cavalry on the road. It was not until ten days later that the two armies reunited.

“Huh!”

Li Daozong and Hou Junji are sighed in relief, and the plateau reaction is over.

However, what they didn’t expect was that plateau reaction was only an appetizer for them, and the real difficulties had just come.

Night fell, and the first night after the Southern Route Army converged, the army was camped on the vast prairie, and the earth soon fell into silence.

“It’s cold!” A patrolling soldier shuddered suddenly, and involuntarily shrank his shirt.

Almost at the same time, all the soldiers of the South Route Army were awakened, and the entire South Route Army camp quickly boiled.

Hou Junji put on a single shirt, suddenly opened the camp, and looked at the white flowers on the grass in front of the camp unbelievably.

“It’s frosty!” Hou Junji said in shock. You must know that this is the middle of May. Chang’an City is in the scorching summer, and you feel sweaty when you wear a single coat. But in the south of Tuyuhun, it is frosty in summer.

“General Hou, our army is all in single clothes. The weather is cold and freezing, I am afraid the soldiers can’t bear it!” Li Daozong said anxiously.

Almost all officers and men in the army are in single clothes and cannot keep out the cold at all. If this continues, I am afraid that there will be no war, and the Tang Army will lose its troops.

Hou Junji suddenly raised his head to look at the bright moonlight in the sky with a solemn expression, and said with an idea: “If the order is passed down, immediately pull out the camp and march.”

Li Daozong was puzzled: “But Our soldiers have not rested yet.”

“At this moment, the weather is cold, and even if they stay overnight, the soldiers cannot sleep peacefully. From now on, our soldiers will travel day and night.” Hou Junji resolutely said.

Above the plateau, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the temperature at night is too low. Marching at night makes people walk around, and it can keep out the cold. If you rest at night, I am afraid that many soldiers will freeze to death in their sleep , Frostbite, although the daytime temperature is much lower than that of the plains, it is enough for soldiers to sleep peacefully.

“I am afraid this is the only way to go.” Li Daozong sighed said.

“This is just a stopgap measure. When my army on the South Road catches up to the remnant of Tuyuhun’s tribe, it will surely be able to seize its weight. By then, our army will naturally not have to suffer this bitter cold.” Hou Junji comforted.

He couldn’t think that he wanted to chase Tuyuhun so urgently. The most important thing was to get a warmth for the soldiers.

Soon, the army immediately pulled out of the camp, took advantage of the moonlight, marched overnight, and waited until the sun rose during the day, then settled and rested. At the same time, Tang Army scouts directly released a hundred miles away, frantically starting to search for the Tuyuhun tribe Of the trail.

However, what disappointed them was that they pursued two thousand li or so in a row, but did not see a silhouette at all. The army was driving on the deserted plateau, marching against the biting cold wind at night, during the day Take advantage of the warmer weather to rest.

The whole army is like a ghost in the wilderness, wandering aimlessly. In the most difficult time, the army lacks water and grass, Shimibing and Ma Moxue are extremely tragic.

The Southern Route Army has become a difficult route not just in name only, but also in reality.
