Of course, no yurts were carried on this march.
Instead, they carried a simple cowhide tent, which was not too big and allowed four people to sleep in one tent.
Huang Yi doesn't specialize and eats and lives with everyone. This group is as close as a family and has unparalleled cohesion.
There were four people living in his tent. In addition to him, there were Huang Dazhi, Zhang Dong and Huang Dayong.
There are skills in setting up tents in the snow, and the Hu Xiaochuan brothers and seven or eight Mongolian knights are experts.
They first pulled out a snow nest, and more than half of the tent was buried in the snow nest. This not only enhanced the thermal insulation effect, but also withstood the raging wind.
About half an hour later, more than 30 people started eating happily.
Barbeques and pancakes are enough, but drinking is not allowed.
How could you carry several jars of liquor when you were marching to fight, and it was guerrilla warfare?
Huang Yi asked Zhang Dong to carry two coconut ladles full of alcohol.
Of course, Huang Yi obtained this by repeatedly distilling the spirits he bought some time ago.
I estimate that the alcohol content is between 70 and 80%, which is good for disinfecting wounds.
Now Huang Yi has wine on hand, and it should be good wine.
It was Zhang Dong who was very serious about his work. After everyone searched and seized the items, he checked the seized sheepskin water bags one by one and found that three of Jiannu's four water bags were filled with spirits.
The water bladder also smelled like alcohol!
Zhang Dong soon understood that with the white snow, Jiannu didn't have to worry about finding water. He could just grab a handful of snow to quench his thirst.
So when they came out they filled their four water-skins with the best spirits they could find.
They emptied a water bladder of strong liquor and used it to fill it with water.
It is estimated that they grabbed snow and stuffed it into a water bag, and then placed the water bag in the shoulder socket of the horse. The heat emitted by the horse could quickly melt the snow.
When Jiannu drank the water, the water was still warm.
Huang Yi loved to drink, but he set an example and did not drink the confiscated spirits.
After dinner, Huang Yi continued to teach his subordinates a few new words and tell stories for half an hour as usual.
Yang Shihu and Liu Chuanzong marched with Huang Yi for ten days and experienced nine nights. They already liked this night.
My favorite is definitely the story time.
However, today the story is only half told, and a real story happened.
Huang Dazhi, who was on guard, brought three people. Everyone who was listening to the story knew them. They were the third young master of the Geng family, Geng Da and Geng Qi.
The three of them got up early and stayed late, and their speed was no slower than that of Huang Yi's troops.
Towards evening, Geng Da discovered fresh horse manure and judged that Huang Yi's men and horses were close at hand.
Therefore, they did not camp immediately, but quickly followed the horse tracks to search.
After walking for less than an hour, Huang Dazhi, who was on guard, saw him.
It was also because Huang Dazhi was not reckless and did not shoot cold arrows immediately, but observed calmly, and it didn't take long to recognize Geng Zhanghua.
Seeing Huang Yi, Geng Zhanghua immediately smiled and clasped his fists and said:
"Huang Baihu, you are not interesting enough! Why didn't you wait for me? It took the three of us hurriedly and slowly for ten days to catch up with you!"
Huang Yi was a little surprised and blurted out: "You really dare to come!"
"Is there any place that a real man can't go to? If Huang Baihu can come, so can Geng!"
What can Huang Yi say? All I could do was give a thumbs up and say, "You have the guts!"
Geng Zhanghua smiled, quite proudly, and then he couldn't wait to say:
"Huang Baihu, I heard from Brother Dazhi that as soon as you arrived, you personally killed two Houjin Army vests?"
"It's nothing, it's just that those two slaves were unlucky, and I just happened to meet them."
"Huang Baihu is really a tiger general! Where is the head? I have never seen what the money rat tail looks like!"
Yang Shihu had heard it a long time ago. Of course he knew Mr. Geng, so he immediately brought two heads.
Geng Da and Geng Qi didn't mind the smell of blood at all, so they both held the head with their ears and looked at it carefully.
Geng Da said happily: "He is about thirty years old, and his dark yellow scalp is definitely not newly shaved. He is a true slave in his youth."
Huang Dayong said proudly: "You don't need to say whether it is true or not, we have the credentials of the Hou Jin Army as proof."
Geng Zhanghua said: "You have Dong Nu's belt? That's great."
Huang Yi looked at Geng Zhanghua and wanted to tease him, saying, "Mr. Geng, I have a suggestion!"
At this time, Geng Zhanghua was so impressed by Huang Yi that he immediately raised his hands and said respectfully: "Huang Baihu, please speak!"
Huang Yi looked up at the sky and said in a low voice:
"Killing two Jiannu slaves was just because of good luck. No one can say what will happen next.
It is also possible to encounter hundreds of thousands of slave-building troops, and all of our team will die gloriously. "
Seeing Huang Yi speak so solemnly, Geng Zhanghua quickly comforted him:
"No, no, there are so many mountains here. Even if we hide, tens of thousands of people won't be able to find us.
Besides, the Hou Jin Army is not a god, how could they possibly know that we exist? "
Huang Yi changed the topic and said: "If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. Mr. Geng, I suggest you put it in your pocket and be safe!"
"What do you mean?" Geng Zhanghua was a little confused.
"You and the two servants will take the slave's badge and two heads back to Zhangjiakou early tomorrow morning. This way, you three will ensure that there will be no danger, and you can also get two real slave heads.
If something happens to us, your family can basically get things done with the heads of two real slaves and ninety-seven real Tatars. "
Geng Da's eyes lit up. He felt that it was really safe to do this and said, "Master Huang's words make sense. Master, let's go back tomorrow morning!"
Geng Qi didn't want to go back at this time, and asked doubtfully: "Are you leaving right after you came here? Wait a few days to check the situation before making a decision?"
"We have accompanied the third young master here. The third young master has fulfilled his promise and has two more real slave heads. He can go back in glory."
Huang Yi said: "Geng Daya's words are reasonable! We should just accept them as soon as possible!"
Seeing that Huang Yi agreed, Geng Da quickly raised his hands and saluted to express his gratitude.
Huang Yi nodded and continued: "If we add the four pairs of armors we just captured, we are still short of three pairs, so that everyone can have one pair of armors.
There are many dangers here. I ask you to rush back early tomorrow morning. But before you go, leave your armor with us. "
Geng Zhanghua, who was bent on killing the enemy and making meritorious deeds, was a little unhappy when Huang Yi asked him to go back tomorrow. He could not resist Huang Yi, so he could only reprimand Geng Da with a cold face, saying:
"I've talked to you so much along the way, all in vain? Is it just a shame to buy a head?
The three of us had to fight with the Hou Jin Army no matter what. At the very least, we had to kill a Jiannu with our own hands. Only then would we be able to live in the open for ten days in vain! "
Geng Qi, who also wanted to fight, got excited and came up with an idea:
"Third Young Master, why don't I stay and fight the Jiannu, and my eldest brother will take two heads and accompany you back to Zhangjiakou. I promise to kill a Jiannu with my own hands, cut off the head, and take it back."
