1763: Into the Mountain

In just one day and one night, the whole world turned white, and the lush green of the past disappeared. Occasionally, one or two branches stubbornly raised their branches, wanting to show their pride in the snowy world, but it won't take long to be suppressed by the gentle flying snowflakes.

Once you step on it, the entire foot will be completely submerged in the thick snow, leaving a long and deep mark on the snow.

Fan Chang walked to a big tree, looked up and down, tore open a slightly raised bark on the tree pole, and inside, a black arrow marked the direction of his progress. He bent down and picked up a ball of snow from the ground, wiped the mark away vigorously, looked up at the vast white distance, and the worry in his eyes was fully revealed.

"The little bastards are very well-organized!" An old Zhiguo captain came to Fan Chang and praised: "I was worried that they would go out of their heads excitedly. As soon as they entered the mountain, they would scream and run forward. That would be a bad thing. Leader, some of the recruits are good. After the training is over, they will be assigned to take care of me. At least they have to divide me into three or five?"

Fan Chang grinned bitterly. Of course it was good. Among these two hundred new recruits, let alone Min Qi, there were twenty soldiers from the Fire Death Camp. In addition, his clerk and logistics officer strongly demanded to accompany Min Qi. Fan Chang naturally knew what their origins were. I was afraid that even if he did not allow them, they would follow Min Qi against the order. With these people in the formation, this new recruit team would certainly be more experienced. A lion and a group of sheep would be very aggressive. However, these people were destined to leave later. When Min Qi made military achievements, how could he raise these big fish in his small pond?

"Let's talk about it." Fan Changyi looked at the snowflakes falling all over the sky with a relaxed look. I'm afraid that heavy snow will be blocked in another two or three days.

"Boss, you look a little worried. Is this necessary?" The old captain seemed very relaxed. "It's good snow. The more severe the weather, the greater the advantage for us. If we talk about our equipment, ha, it's really armed to the teeth."

He fiddled with the snow glasses he had just obtained and couldn't put it down. "This thing is really good. In the past years, whether it was on duty or fighting in the snow, his eyes were so tingling, red and swollen that he had this thing. With this thing, it was much easier. By the way, can you show me the thing on your waist again?"

The old captain said that Fan Chang was wearing a monocular lens around his waist. This is a new thing. Along the way, the old captain had already found various excuses to play with it countless times.

"Zhao Er, are you finished?" Fan Chang slapped the smiley old captain's hand over. "It won't take long to make this thing popular. Then you can play enough."

Fan Chang actually found it very strange to snow glasses, telescopes, and these things. As far as he knew, even the general of Fuyuan Camp, Wang Yun, did not have the telescopes like that in his hand. To put it bluntly, this is the latest product of the Ming military that Min Qi, the noble son under his command, got through personal relationships.

I heard that in the Tiangong Administration of Ming Dynasty, there were a large group of mad craftsmen who invented some strange new things every day. Some of these things were useful and were recommended by the court, while others were useless. However, the court was still willing to spend a lot of money on these inexplicable guys.

Fan Chang has a good impression of the Tiangong Bureau because many of the weapons and equipment they use now come from this department. I have to say that it is very useful. When a soldier can crush his opponent in equipment, even if his personal combat power is worse than that of the enemy, he can defeat his opponent. To give a very simple example, if the opponent swings him with one knife, he can only cut a white mark on your armor, and if you swing him with one knife, you can divide the opponent into two with one knife. Who would not be happy with this kind of fighting style? In the battle between thousands of troops, a considerable number of them are fighting styles that exchange life for life. Fan Chang climbed up step by step from the bottom soldier, and his impression of this is too profound.

It's worth spending money on these people! Sliding fingers on the monoculars around their waists, Fan Chang thought to himself that even if they invented a hundred things, only one is useful, it is another guarantee for the lives of Ming soldiers.

A black dot flew from the distant sky, hovered in the air for two weeks, then suddenly fell and fell to where Fan Chang and his group were. A soldier stood up and stretched out his arm. The harrier landed straight on the soldier's arm wearing protective gear. The soldier reached out and took out a bit of frozen meat strip from the skin on his waist, held it in his hand and warmed it up, then stuffed it into the mouth of the harrier. Then he ran to Fan Chang and whispered: "General Fan, they have set up camp. Five miles away from us."

This soldier, along with this Harrier Eagle, was lent to Fan Chang by Wang Yun, general of Fuyuan Battalion. It is extremely difficult to cultivate aerial reconnaissance soldiers like the Harrier Eagle, which combines communication and reconnaissance. Until now, only front-line field battalion-level troops can be equipped. Fan Chang's level wants to use such things, so they naturally don't have to think about it.

Fan Chang looked up at the sky and nodded: "It's all this today. We also set up camp, Zhao Er, arrange for alert."

Zhao Er smiled and wanted to touch the hawk, but he didn't expect that the hawk would peck at him like a flash. Zhao Er, who was already prepared, suddenly shrank his hand. Along the way, he had wanted to get close to the divine horse hawk many times. Unfortunately, Qiu Ao was very proud and ignored anyone except the soldier he brought him. Even the most delicious meat strip that Zhao Er had been catching, which made Zhao Er feel very disappointed.

"With this guy here, do we still need to arrange someone to be alert?" Zhao Er said.

Fan Chang didn't say anything, but just glanced at Zhao Er coldly. Zhao Er immediately admitted his defeat, "I'll make arrangements right away."

After the camping order, the dozens of soldiers Fan Chang and he immediately became busy. However, camping was not a problem for them. Their equipment was excellent, wearing cotton shirts close to each other, and the Ming Dynasty's latest down jacket was covered with the Ming Dynasty, which was light and insulated. Compared with the relatively bloated cotton jacket worn by the second-tier troops, it was convenient for more than once. The outer part of the jacket was covered with armor, and the pure white cloak was also covered with a thin layer of down. There was a row of dense hidden buckles at the edges. When resting, wrap the cloak and close the hidden buckles, which naturally became a sleeping bag. If there was an emergency, just one arm, the hidden buckles would fall off naturally.

The helmet has a thick removable cotton cover, wool-woven gloves on its hands, and the boots worn on its feet are the only workshop product that can make rubber rain boots. Even in such weather, there is no need to worry that snow water will penetrate into the shoes.

Fighting in such weather, keeping warm became the first element. In this regard, the Ming army was doing everything possible.

The soldiers gathered together and set up a stove in the middle. The soldiers took out a sealed bag from their backpacks and tore them open them. There were black coal blocks inside. This was a special smoke-free medium. After being manufactured by special technology, it was very easy to ignite. The fire folds were shaken a little and could ignite immediately. It was very good to simmer. More importantly, he did not have smoke and would not expose their targets.

An aluminum kettle was placed on the stove and filled with snow. In a moment, heat came out. With hot water, eating the jerky with her with her, the meal was solved in the blink of an eye.

Compared with the Qi army, the lives of Ming soldiers were indeed like in heaven. In the same environment, Qi soldiers could only eat dry food with snowflakes. In such an environment, lighting a fire and cooking is very likely to expose the target, and once they are exposed, the outcome is very likely to be miserable.

After eating, except for the guards, the rest of the people found a place to be leeward, rolled up a cloak, and fell asleep in the snow. The group of people Fan Chang was all veterans, and they knew the importance of physical strength. Fighting in such a deep snow-covered environment, the energy consumed was much more than usual. Sometimes, breathing more than their opponents was the difference between life and death.

With his back against a big tree, Fan Chang looked at Zhao Er, who was personally acting as the guard, shakingly walked up to him.

"General, this time I came out, why do you think you have been worried?" Zhao Er squatted aside and asked softly.

"It doesn't feel good." Fan Chang lowered his voice and said, "I've never felt that bad."

Zhao Er's face also became serious. He followed Fan Chang for a long time and knew that Fan Chang had a beast-like intuition on the battlefield. His ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune was simply amazing. This time, Fan Chang was so worried that he also infected him in an instant.

"It should be fine, isn't it just a simple training?" he asked in confusion: "We have never lost, and Qi Bing is far inferior to us in terms of equipment and training!"

"Never lost, it doesn't mean it will never lose." Fan Chang himself couldn't grasp the key points, which made him anxious: "I always feel that something will happen."

"What's going to happen is that Min Qi is causing it." Zhao Er said with some dissatisfaction.

"Shut up, what's the use of saying this now?" Fan Chang kicked him, "You in the middle of the night, I in the middle of the night, and then wake me up, don't work alone for another night. Now each of us must maintain the best combat state."
