Chapter 617: The military rations are full of vitality, and the army walks through the jungle
He tried hard to swallow the last piece of dry cake. Jiang Xi sat next to the tree, closed her eyes, and slightly savored the lingering fragrance. Around him was a lush forest and three companions.
The military rations of the Wu Ding army under Chen Zhi were specially customized, and no matter what kind of food it was, there must be a soaking process. But in general, except for the marching, it was similar to what ordinary people eat, except that they had a lot of white flour and meat.
These two are the guarantee of physical fitness and strength. Therefore, Wu Ding, who was trained by Chen Zhi, may not have much growth in height. After all, they are all adults and have little chance of secondary development. At least they cannot do these with the simple ingredients now.
However, their physical strength, endurance and strength have been significantly improved, especially farmers like Jiang Xi who originally only worked in the fields, whose body looks strong, but in fact, due to long-term malnutrition, there is a great deficit, which is weak and strong. If it is not filled, it will age deeply and it is only a matter of time before the body collapses.
Fortunately, he entered Wuding Camp and not only filled these deficiencies, but also adjusted his body.
However, the dry food he eats now is different from the ones in the barracks. Most of the foods that are easy to carry are processed, dehydrated, air-dried, etc.
Such foods generally don’t taste very good. They are just used to fill your stomach and are easy to carry. They are needed for the army to travel, and even Chen Zhi’s Wuding Camp is no exception.
But these situations suddenly changed not long ago.
"The taste of this dry food is getting better and better, and it has a faint fragrance when eaten. Although it is not as good as the meat in the camp, it has a unique taste."
Just after eating here, someone sighed.
Hearing this voice, Jiang Xi opened her eyes, looked around vigilantly, and whispered: "I heard that the food recently has been soaked in medicinal food, and the prescriptions inside have changed. There are rumors that this is a prescription that was captured by the prefect himself. It not only strengthens the body, but also increases courage!"
"So that's it!" Another person beside him seemed to have figured out something when he heard this. "I said why I've become more and more energetic and braver recently. When I talked about coming to the forest to find out the news, I felt a little upset, but now I'm still excited."
"Isn't it! We scouts are not doing the most dangerous things? Logically speaking, according to my original nature, I dare not go deeper. Now this courage is indeed coming." Someone said this again.
Then the man said at the earliest, and said with a smile: "In our Wuding army, scouts are not something that ordinary people can be. They are all powerful men with military merits. They are more skilled than others. Among us, Jiang Xi has the greatest military merits, his greatest ability, and his relationship is hard. Like the rumors just now, how can ordinary people know? It is Jiang Xi's fellow villager, the Wang, who has a good relationship with the team leader, so that they can know."
It turned out that Jiang Xi and the others were Wu Dingjun's scouts and were currently carrying out their mission.
Jiang Xi did make great contributions in the previous city relief battle. Not only did he stab and injured the general of Ke Bo Zhen's army and was about to capture it, but he also made great contributions when he finally captured the chief leader.
Afterwards, he received a lot of rewards for his merits and practices. He had the opportunity to be transferred to Chen Zhi, but he didn't know what he thought, so he actually offered to serve as a scout.
The division of labor of scouts is generally linked to inquiries and is very dangerous. Many times, these scouts are the first to die. However, in the Wuding Camp, the scouts have different status. They are often the ones with the best martial arts and the most agile skills to be selected. Correspondingly, they are far beyond their peers' treatment. It can be said that once you enter the scout camp, you will not only have to worry about food and clothing, but also have arrangements at home. Even if you die, according to the prefect's promise, your family will have no worries about food and clothing for life.
Therefore, from this perspective, Jiang Xi’s choice is not so incomprehensible.
Compared to when he first joined the army, Jiang Xi's temperament has also changed. Although he still seems a little restrained, after listening to a few words from his colleagues around him, he smiled and said, "It's not that complicated. If you pay attention to these news, you can notice it."
The few people next to him were about to say something again, but suddenly, they all changed slightly in dark colors. Then they quickly lowered their bodies and mixed with the surrounding trees and branches and leaves. Their clothes were originally a military characteristic, with colorful colors. At this time, they lie forward and it was immediately difficult to tell whether it was true or false.
However, the subsequent barking of several dogs still made the faces of several of them change drastically. They could only pray that the miscellaneous water sprinkled on their bodies before coming. After half a day, it could continue to work. It is said that this kind of potion that can confuse the smell of wild animals. The prescription was also from the prefect Chen Zhi. It made many achievements in the past, but it did not last long. If it was cloudy and rainy, it would soon fade away when the wind was strong and the sun was strong.
"Someone is here!"
In a state of anxiety, the few people looked at each other and looked at each other with solemn expressions.
This person, Jiang Xi and the others were in the dense forest. They were originally scattered investigations, but they gathered together when they came here to exchange information. According to the normal process, if no special appearance was found after the exchange, a few people would leave because the forest was too remote, and there were many beasts in it, so no one could come easily. After a little investigation, they could find something. Now there are dogs barking and the ground is even more slight vibration, which undoubtedly shows many problems.
The scouts' acumen made them realize that the situation was wrong.
Sure enough, a soldier then appeared, making Jiang Xi and others look even more ugly. With the cover of the branches and leaves, they were able to look in the direction of the team. However, they saw a lot of figures, pushing the branches and leaves apart, and moving forward without seeing the end!
What shocked them even more was that the team was mixed with a large number of cavalry, almost two cavalry and one infantry configuration. Looking at their clothes and outfits, their identities were about to emerge!
"Xianbei people! These people are Xianbei people! They have come here!"
Jiang Xi and others were surprised, and at the same time, they remembered what those gentlemen taught me when they were scouts. Compared with their status and direction, they were even more restless!
"This is the densest woods on the south bank of the Sanggan River, but the distance is quite far. Although it can hide troops, if you want to attack Dangcheng, there is a section of official road in the middle, which is not blocked, but it is easy to be exposed. So why should this group of people choose here?"
After serving in the army for a while, Jiang Xi learned a lot of information from his friend Wang Niu, and even followed two team leaders who were close to Chen Zhi, and heard them talk about some general situations, so he immediately saw the problem behind it.
"This group of people may not go to the city, but have other goals!"
Thinking about the recent statement that before the mission was carried out, both the team leader and several other generals repeatedly emphasized that Dangcheng was the bridgehead of Dai County, and that he had to defend Dangcheng to become a barrier of Dai County. Jiang Xi felt a little confused and felt that the situation was a little bad.
But he was just a scout after all, and he didn't have the turn to think about these things, not to mention that there is a bigger crisis surrounding several people.
On the periphery of this group of people, there were many soldiers leading a group of dogs searching towards the surrounding jungle. The dogs even grinned and glanced at the surroundings, making constant whimpering sounds, looking fierce!
Thanks to a series of training and professors when he joined the job, coupled with strict training, Jiang Xi and his group of scouts developed some habits in a short period of time, including the choice of hiding terrain. Therefore, the position they are now in is a difficult edge area. Although the sudden arrival of troops marched in the dense forests, they still have to open up roads and not enter the places where they were going too difficult to move forward. Therefore, although they can see this troops, there is no need to worry about being discovered immediately.
But it is different when you encounter a soldier with a fierce dog. After all, the nose of a dog is very sensitive and can distinguish many flavors. After professional training, you can also distinguish the aura of a person. When you marching, you can use it to search.
As the sound of the branches and leaves breaking became more and more secret, Jiang Xi and others clearly noticed that two people were leading the circle closer to where they were, and the two mastiffs became more and more irritable, as if they had discovered something.
"Don't come over! Don't get closer!"
Cold sweat flowed down Jiang Xi and others' foreheads, but they didn't dare to wipe them at all, let alone make a sound. They could only wait stiffly and watch the mastiff approaching them bit by bit.
Click!
With the last sound of breaking, the dog stopped less than three feet away from Jiang Xi, and then shouted twice at the soldiers who were leading him!
Jiang Xi's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and then he watched the man and dog turn around and leave, returning to the large army.
Then, the team continued to move forward. After a stick of incense, the last few people walked over. During this period, Jiang Xi and others saw several extraordinary riders. The man in the leader looked proud and had a sense of arrogant aura, which was extraordinary at first glance!
After waiting for a long time, Jiang Xi and others suddenly sat down on the ground, their bodies fell down, and then they realized that their clothes were soaked in sweat at some point!
Finally, they struggled, and Jiang Xi said with a serious face: "This must be a member of Duan's army, and we must repay it quickly!"
Chapter completed!
