Soldiers Card System
Chapter 42: Encounter in rainy night
On the official road, grain carts and workhorses formed a long line, with almost no end in sight.
The guards in charge of the **** walked on both sides, urging the civilian husband to drive the pack horse forward.
Su Lu was lying on the food truck at the front, looking at the gloomy sky, his brows became Chuan.
The grain team is too long. If you encounter bandits, you will be robbed of halfway before these grain trucks shrink. There are only four battalions of 800 people in your hand. It is really difficult to take care of such a long team. , Still have to send more scouts.
"Little Mud"
Su Lu shouted.
After a while, a clever figure raised his head from the grain truck behind, stepped on the workhorse and the grain truck, and after several leaps, it landed firmly on the grain truck lying on Su Lu.
"Lieutenant Du."
Little Mud lowered his head and looked at Su Lu.
Su Lu pointed to the official road in front, and ordered:
"Go, find Su Ping, let him give you twenty good players, go ahead and explore the way, whether it is a bandit or a Thule, I want you to send a signal ten miles in advance to let me know that there is an ambush."
Little muddy was overjoyed. After so many days of martial arts training, he finally had a chance to use it. He emptied quickly, rolled over and got out of the car, pulled a horse from the guards and rode on, and went to the back of the team to find Su Ping.
Without much effort, Little Mud took a team of scouts and rode to the front of Su Lu.
Su Lu took a look at these boys, all of them are very capable, and at first glance they are not easy to mess with. He threw four 2nd level scout cards and a dozen 1st level scout cards, divided the team, let them follow the little mud. Pathfinder ahead.
The scouts spilled out, and Su Lu felt quite stable, and ordered the grain team to move forward, striving to cross Erlong Mountain before dark and set up camp far away from Erlong Mountain.
"Wow"
The sky finally started to rain, and the raindrops wet Su Lu's body in an instant.
The folk husbands took action one after another, took out oil paper parcels and drapes, and covered workhorses and grain with ponchos.
For a moment, people shouted, and there was a noisy scene in the rain.
Su Lu put on a poncho, put on a hat, and began to patrol the grain brigade, commanding the guards to help civilians clean up their workhorses and carts, so that the rainwater could not wet the grain and grass.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the road under my feet began to become muddy, and the carts started to draw deep rut marks as they walked on the road.
The chief of miscellaneous subjects assigned to Su Lu by the county magistrate Tang stepped on the mud to catch up with Su Lu and called Su Lu loudly:
"My lord, the rain is getting heavier and he can't go anymore. People can bear it, but the packhorse can't bear it. If the packhorse is damaged, the road behind will be difficult to walk."
In the team, all the people who treat their workhorses as treasures all looked at Su Lu and prayed with all their faces.
For them, buying a workhorse will cost them all their hard-earned money for a year. Workhorses are the biggest item in their family and they must be a good treasure.
Seeing the workhorse getting in the rain, these folks feel more distressed than their sons getting in the rain.
Su Lu took out the map and took a look. His brows were almost frowned into a mess. It is not far from Erlong Mountain. If Erlong Mountain bandits are really going to attack, the thousands of people under his own might not be enough to stuff his blood lion's teeth. of.
However, looking at the muddy road, the almost drenched civilian husband, even though he was wrapped in a poncho, was still caught by Lincheng's workhorse, Su Lu cursed in his heart the plagued rain.
"Leaving the official road to camp, all civilians pay attention, unload the grain and grass from the workhorse, rely on the cart, and form a tortoiseshell formation."
"Oh"
The civilians cheered, drove the packhorse off the official road, set up a shed at the place designated by the guards, drove the packhorse under the shed, unloaded the grain and grass, and began to prepare grain, grass and water for the packhorse.
Su Lu kicked the water scoop in Su Ping's hand and shouted at him:
"Didn't I say that you should drink cold boiled water on the march, not raw water, you kid take my words to your ears, right?"
Su Lu chuckled and smiled: "I was exhausted when I drove the packhorse to unload the cart, and smoke was about to come out of his throat, so I couldn't help but take a sip."
Su Lu untied his water hyacinth and handed it to Su Ping: "If you don't want your soldiers to lie on the cart tomorrow, just show it to me. You can't drink raw water, dry your clothes with a towel, and put them next to your body before taking a break. The clothes must be dried."
Su Ping promised with a sad look: "I know, I know, I know all these things, and I will take care of it."
"Second brother, why do the personal clothes need to be dried? Are the people from Erlongshan coming for a sneak attack, do we have to fight at night?"
Speaking of fighting, Su Ping became excited immediately, looking like he couldn't wait.
Su Lu was unwilling to take care of this kid anymore, and asked him to check the clothing of Camp B and the loss of food and grass. He checked the guard's camp and the situation of the civilian husband next to him.
"My lord, there are a few workhorses who don't drink water or eat grass. The folks don't know what to do. They are about to cry. Go and take a look."
A guard came over and reported it.
Su Lu felt a chill. The packhorses appeared so soon that they had fallen. It took less than half of the distance. If this goes on, these packhorses will be abandoned.
When they rushed to the center of the wagon that had already formed a circle, under the shed that had been erected, a few civilian men looked at the workhorses lying on the ground with a sad face. The fodder and clear water in front of the workhorses were all in good condition, but the workhorses did not move at all.
Seeing Su Lu coming, several guards stepped aside. When the civilians looked at Su Lu, their faces were full of hope, hoping that Su Lu could rescue these workhorses.
Su Lu looked at the look of the packhorse, the look of his head, he was too tired at first glance.
"My lord, you can save my workhorse. Our whole family is counting on it to eat."
"My lord, my workhorse suddenly became like this. I won't be able to leave this trip. If the workhorse is gone, my house will be finished."
Minfu's face full of dust and wrinkles was full of anxiety, rubbing his hands, looking at Su Lu expectantly.
Su Lu has nothing to do. I am not a veterinarian. I don't know how to treat animals. I don't even know how to comfort me. I am afraid that saying the wrong thing will make the husband even more sad.
Looking up at the rain curtain, the rain is getting heavier and heavier. For a while, I am afraid that it will not stop.
A few folk husbands gathered around, lowered their heads to discuss for a long time, and finally the black-faced folk husband spoke:
"My lord, we want to give up this delivery. We don't need any money. If the packhorse is gone, it's really gone.
"Even if you don't leave, the packhorses won't be better. There is no village in front of you, no shops behind. Your packhorses will be dragged to death sooner or later. Let's follow the team. At least they won't starve to death."
The chief of the miscellaneous department came over and persuaded everyone.
"If the packhorse is really exhausted, I will call the shots and return to the county to compensate you, and give you half of the packhorse money at the official price."
Several folk husbands bowed their heads and discussed for a long time, and they all realized that the director of the miscellaneous department was right. Only then did they put their minds on leaving and fed the workhorse with peace of mind.
Su Lu glanced at the director of the miscellaneous department with admiration. This person was steady in his work and had some methods. He was a useful talent. Just about to praise him, a scout came in the rain.
The horseshoe stepped on a large group of water droplets wrapped in plaster, and when they reached the shed, they rolled over and got off the horse, and rushed into the shed wrapped in rain and cold air:
"Report, my lord, there are bandits found ahead, the number is unknown."
Looking at the rain curtain outside, Su Lu was full of discomfort. These bandits are also crazy, what are they doing out on this rainy day?
Even horses can't move on the muddy road, let alone fighting. It's not that this group of bandits have got water in their heads.
Under the rain curtain, another scout came from behind. The horses' hoofs broke through the mud, and the muddy water splashed all over. The saddled guards were soaked all over, and they tremblingly reported:
"Report, sir, there is news from the rear that a group of bandits have been found, and the target is directed at us."
Su Lu couldn't help but cursed: "Robbery in heavy rain, these bandits are really crazy."
