Wen Zhong took out 30,000 taels of silver. If any of the 3,000 soldiers failed to come back, at least it would be a guarantee for their families.
Of course, it was impossible for Wen Zhong to spend so much cash on the battlefield, but Wen Zhong made this promise in front of everyone in the army. If Wen Zhong can't do this later, how will he lead the team in the future?
Therefore, the soldiers did not have any doubts!
The three thousand soldiers had eaten and drank enough, and climbed onto their horses one by one with bold steps. Even if some of them still looked hesitant, seeing their companions getting on their horses one by one, they could only bite the bullet and follow. Forward.
In this battle, not many generals participated. After all, Wen Zhong is a partial force here, and there cannot be too many generals in the first place. Even if he is biased towards Li Jing, it is impossible to transfer all the generals under Wen Zhong.
In addition to Li Jing and Li Cunxiao, the rest include Li Cunxiao's six lieutenants.
However, 3,000 men and horses equipped with so many generals is extremely over the top.
The cold wind howled, and as the war horse sped up, Li Jing could only hear the whistling wind in his ears. Even the soldier driving the horse in front of him could not hear the sound of the horse shouting. Really, the freezing temperature made Li Jing's warm armor feel cold. Fortunately, the sheepskin underwear and thermal linen clothes had the effect of keeping out the cold, which prevented him from being frozen unconscious. But even so, his small face would have been cold. He was frozen to pieces.
Li Jing was born in the Wei Dynasty. The natural climate and temperature difference between the Wei Dynasty and the Cang Dynasty was not small, and the gap with Dongyi was even greater. He didn't have such a deep understanding at first, but in this kind of rapid march, Li Jing was obviously not used to it.
In order to ensure that he would not die on the road, Li Jing covered his head with the sheepskin cloak he was wearing, hoping that this would reduce the damage to his face from the cold wind.
However, a big hand directly pulled off the sheepskin cloak covering Li Jing's head without any mercy. Of course, it was not completely pulled off, but Li Jing's eyes were exposed.
"Pharmacist, on the battlefield, as long as you cover your eyes, death will be waiting for you. Therefore, do not cover your eyes at any time, and make sure they can pay attention to everything around you at any time."
Although Li Cunxiao's eyes had already turned red due to the cold and strong wind, he seemed to have no consciousness. He only narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not close them completely.
Li Cunxiao has a master-level cultivation. Although he is only in the early stage of becoming a master, he has indeed reached this stage. After all, whether it is from the background of the Zhendong Army or the Confucian background, Li Cunxiao actually has no shortage of resources.
After Li Cunxiao chose external skills and reached a certain level, he could naturally use resources to improve his internal skills in the shortest time.
Li Cunxiao can use his internal strength to protect his eyes, but any general who has been on the battlefield for several years knows that every ounce of strength is extremely important on the battlefield. What matters is to use the least amount of effort to achieve the most efficiency. to kill the enemy.
Not to mention that Li Cunxiao's internal strength is just incidental. Even if he specializes in internal strength, it is impossible to waste his internal strength on such a place before he reaches the level of a heavenly being. After all, they were deep behind enemy lines and a battle could break out at any time.
Hearing Li Cunxiao's teachings, Li Jing knew that he was teaching him his combat experience on the battlefield. If Li Jing wanted to make a name for himself on the battlefield, he would definitely have to go to the battlefield in the future, and there would be many wars in the future!
Li Jing's art of war is indeed very powerful, but it is also true that he has no experience on the battlefield. He and Li Cunxiao couldn't compare to this little skill on the battlefield! Some things can only be learned after personal practice.
Following Li Cunxiao's example, Li Jing narrowed his eyes and looked ahead...
Three consecutive days of long-distance running made Li Jing stiff all over. Just when he thought he was about to freeze to death, the army drove directly into the foot of a mountain. Due to the barrier of the hill, all the cold wind was blocked. We reached the other side of the mountain, although it was still not much warmer. But there are some things that he fears most is comparison.
Although the temperature was still very low, there was no howling of the cold wind. After a while, Li Jing's body finally regained some consciousness. Then the soldiers slowly walked out of the car. Looking at their appearance, Li Jing finally Suddenly I realized that I was not the only one who had lost consciousness.
After most people climbed down from their horses, there were dozens of people still sitting on their horses, maintaining the same marching appearance as before.
Li Jing was a little puzzled that they didn't know how to come down and move around. Just as he was about to call out to ask them to come down and move around so as not to freeze to death, a big hand stretched out and pulled out his arm.
Turning around, he found that the person holding him was actually Li Cunxiao.
"Don't disturb them, let them have a good rest."
A dozen simple words, but Li Jing suddenly realized something.
Now Li Jing, even though he is the father of two children, but judging from the ages of his two sons, we know that he is not very old himself, only in his early 20s. At this time, he has not experienced so much, so he is far away. He is not as cruel as those famous generals who have fought in hundreds of battles. This battle was his first time on the battlefield, and this situation was also his first experience.
The battle hadn't even started yet. After only three days of fighting, dozens of people out of 3,000 people lost their lives. This made Li Jing feel a little panicked in his heart. These were living human lives, just dissipated in the air. On the way to the march, the cruelty of war taught Li Jing a lesson for the first time, a lesson that made people feel sad.
At this time, Li Jing was no longer as high-spirited as he was in front of Zhuge Liang, Wang Yu, and Wen Zhong. Instead, he truly looked like an ordinary person.
No one is born mature and sophisticated. Behind maturity and sophistication, there are only accumulated life experiences and the accumulation of years. Those who are young and mature may not have years, but they will not have less accumulation.
Everyone ate some dry food and dried meat and began to take a short rest. After running for three consecutive days, the soldiers had almost reached their limit. If they continued running, they would all die on the way.
Even though he was extremely tired and cold, he didn't even dare to eat a warm meal, or even light a fire easily to reduce the chance of being discovered.
