Chapter 441 I! Want! People! To! Live!
As the dawn breaks, the army sets out on its journey like a long steel dragon.
The armors collided, making crisp sounds. The soldiers stood tall with stern faces, their eyes showing their determination to face death and their loyalty to their country.
On both sides of the road, there were already dense crowds of people who came to see them off.
There was an old lady in the crowd. She waved her hands vigorously, her eyes filled with tears, but she tried hard not to let them fall. Only her lips trembled slightly, because her son was there!
Next to her was a young woman, dressed in plain clothes, her face as pale as paper. Her eyes were closely following her newlywed husband who was about to leave.
She held a handkerchief tightly in her hand, which had been crumpled into pieces. She had not yet fully savored the sweetness of her newlywed life, but now she had to face this cruel separation. Her heart felt as if it was torn apart.
The simplest thing is those kids.
When the children saw their brothers or fathers in the team, they shouted excitedly, but there was a hint of trembling and excitement in their childish voices.
My children, you don’t know that this may be the last time you see each other in this life!
The entire expeditionary team was shrouded in a sad atmosphere. Chen Changan shook his head repeatedly and was very angry towards the barbarians.
Damn it, we were doing fine, why did you invade us?
Damn thing!
"Chen Lang, Chen Lang!"
"Husband, look at us, look at us!"
"elder brother!"
Chen Changan was moving forward steadily with the army when he heard a familiar voice.
Among the bustling crowd of people seeing her off, Zhao Qingcheng's figure was like a beautiful flower blooming in the world. Even among the crowd, her unique charm could not be concealed.
Her elegant long dress fluttered gently in the wind, and her hair was a little messy in the breeze, which added a bit of charming charm.
Her eyes were filled with complex emotions, with worry, concern and reluctance intertwined, like a lake blown by the spring breeze, rippling layer by layer.
Those tightly pursed lips seemed to be trying hard to suppress the surging emotions in her heart and not let them overflow.
Around her, there were some familiar faces.
Chen Changan felt as if thousands of words were stuck in his chest and he couldn't utter a single word.
Chen Changan raised his head slightly and took a deep breath.
The passionate melody poured out from his throat!
"The smoke of war rises, the mountains and rivers look northward, the dragon rises, the horse neighs, and the sword energy is like frost.
My heart is as vast as the Yellow River. For twenty years, who can resist it?
……
Why would I hesitate to die for my country..."
His voice was a little hoarse at first, but it carried a heaviness that came from going through so much vicissitudes of life, like an ancient bard telling the heroic legends of the past.
As he sang the lyrics one by one, his voice became louder and louder, as if it penetrated the marching troops and floated towards the distant battlefield.
Every note is full of ambition and passion, as if declaring his determination to the world.
The power in the song infected every soldier around. Their steps became more determined and their eyes flashed with fiery light!
It was as if he had already seen the heroic scene of himself bravely fighting the enemies and defending his country in the war-torn northern border.
kill! ! !
……
We finally left Baidi City, and nothing happened the whole day on the first day.
The next day, **An started to make trouble.
Marching sixty miles a day is the normal marching requirement, but Chen Changan requires everyone to carry twenty kilograms of stones and march quickly.
The soldiers who arrived at the destination early were entitled to drink and eat meat, and those who arrived later...
Sorry, you are not suitable to be combat soldiers and do logistics work.
When this order came out, the soldiers naturally complained.
But Chen Changan insisted on doing it, because he had participated in battles and knew that slacking off during training was a disrespect for life!
The military camp is a melting pot where steel is forged!
The order has been issued. Even if the army on the right is upset, there is nothing they can do. What's more, the first ten to arrive every day will receive a reward of ten taels of silver!
For the sake of money, just go for it, what are you thinking!
Therefore, a strange phenomenon occurred on the march.
The other soldiers were hurrying on their way in frustration, but the army on the right seemed to be crazy, holding stones and moving forward madly.
The next day, the next day...
This has been going on for more than ten days!
It's really crazy!
When it was time to rest at night, the food for the army on the right was also good.
There were mutton dumplings, instant noodles, buns stuffed with green onions, etc. Because the training was so tiring, the army on the right ate more.
But it doesn’t matter, the food seems to be in endless supply, there must be enough!
This time the soldiers from other battalions were envious.
Following a rich leader is hard work, but it’s still great, right?
Oh my god, why not us?
half a month later.
Yue Shan walked into the central army tent, knelt down and said, "Sir Chen, according to the usual time for the army to report, should I go first?"
"Of course, daily reports are annoying." Chen Changan curled his lips, "It's nothing more than whether someone left or not, and how many people were killed in non-combat situations. My right-wing army is strong and powerful, and there are not even any sick people."
Yue Shan laughed out loud. The training was intense and the food was good, so how could it go wrong?
But Yue Shan still shook his head: "But sir, if you don't go, Miss Yan said she would come in person. After all...what happened in our army has spread to all the camps, and they all have grievances."
Chen Changan's lips moved.
The soldiers in other camps are resentful of their own camps, which is actually not acceptable on the battlefield, but what do you want Chen Changan to do?
Are we going to lower our own standards for the sake of the soldiers from other battalions?
"There's nothing I can do. I'm injured." Chen Changan shook his head.
Yue Shan smiled softly and said, "You're still injured, but it will heal soon, okay?"
Yue Shan turned around and went out to report. Chen Changan called Lao Ma again: "Lao Ma, our soldiers are well trained. Where are the war horses?"
"Come and see if this method works?"
Lao Ma walked over to check, but shook his head slightly.
Chen Changan's plan for war horse training was very strict. At the beginning, he began to place a lightweight saddle pad or sandbag weighing about 5-10 kilograms on the horse's back.
Allow your horse to get used to the feeling of having extra weight on his back while you lead him.
Gradually increase the amount in the later stage, and observe the horse's reaction. If it shows anxiety, resistance or abnormal body posture, kill it and eat the meat.
Kill decisively.
In addition to these, there are various distractions such as fireworks, gongs and drums, and shouts of killing.
For example, fireworks are set off and gongs and drums are beaten in the training ground to keep the war horses calm in this noisy and chaotic environment.
At the same time, war horses will be taught to adapt to different terrains, such as mountains, swamps, rivers, etc., so that they can pass smoothly when encountering various terrains on the actual battlefield.
When training war horses to cross a river, horse trainers would first take them to a shallow section of the river and guide them to wade across, gradually increasing the depth of the water until the horses could adapt to crossing rivers of a certain depth.
There are too many ways and so on.
Old Ma was silent for a moment, then said seriously, "I have no problem with this, but... can the cavalrymen agree? The value of a warhorse to a cavalryman is no less than that of a family member."
"But war horses are not relatives after all."
Chen Changan sighed: "Old Ma, do you know what image has been popping up in my mind these days? It's the farewell scene that day."
"The gray-haired mother, the newlywed wife, the hungry children... Before I saw these, I thought of victory, of winning the battle, but what about seeing them?"
"I just want to bring their son, husband, and father back intact!"
"It's better to have a few dead horses than dead people!"
"Go!"
Chen Changan made a decision: "This is an order issued by me, Chen Changan!"
"I! Want! People! To! Stay! Alive!"
