Datang: I was tricked by the system

Chapter 228 A Good Move to Win People's Hearts

"General Duan, even we feel so hard to breathe, aggrieved and uncomfortable, what should the soldiers do?" Xue Rengui asked worriedly while panting.

"This is altitude sickness. People who have lived in the plains for a long time can't stand it when they suddenly come to the plateau." Duan Zhixuan explained. "Soldiers who come up for the first time need at least half a month to get used to it."

"Doesn't fighting now mean death?" Shan Xian didn't expect the situation here to be like this, no wonder Li Shimin would admit his cowardice and ask Yihuang for help.

"There is no other way but to wait. Fortunately, you have a supernatural secret weapon that shortens the marching time, so you can bear it for half a month." Duan Zhixuan said helplessly.

"Delayed for half a month, I don't know how much our people will lose."

Xue Rengui looked helpless, civilians and soldiers were equally important, he felt bad about sacrificing anyone, time was life, and he was unwilling to lose another life.

Duan Zhixuan nodded, why didn't he understand, "The only thing we can use is the [-] garrison soldiers who have been stationed here all year round, but after all, the number of troops is limited, so it won't be of much use."

3 people go deep into the enemy's country to launch military operations is tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble, and it is necessary to wait for all the troops to recover their combat effectiveness before they can start.

"Then take these 3 people to get through the weir first." Xue Rengui pondered for a while, and then made a decision. Li Yi spent so much thought on him, it was not in vain.

In terms of military strategy, Xue Rengui's reaction was obviously much faster.

Although they only bring 3 troops now, if they really fight, they will be more than 30. After all, [-] troops are in Nasumi, and they want to call them out at any time.

Besides, he had already communicated with the lieutenant general. They didn't feel any discomfort in the ring, and they didn't feel any discomfort when they first came out. If it's a speed war, they might not suffer.

It's just that, adhering to the principle of being responsible for the safety of the soldiers, Xue Rengui is not ready to take risks for the time being.

"Okay, let's do it like this." After discussing in the camp, several people immediately decided to act. Time is life, and they can't waste it.

The nights on the plateau in spring are very cold, so cold that if you don't hide in the house, you will freeze to death.

And the night is still very dark, so dark that you can't see your fingers. Even if you look up and see the stars, you still can't see the road under your feet when you look down.

So the Tuyuhun people are sentinels who never arrange night patrols.

If Xue Rengui wants to take advantage of such conditions, he must also take this risk.

At this time, he remembered what Li Yi had told him before leaving.

Li Yi gave him a package, which contained some weird things. Li Yi said that he would definitely be able to use it, and taught him how to use it one by one.

Xue Rengui took out something in the shape of a square box, which Li Yi called a night vision device.

"What Yihuang shot is really miraculous."

Xue Rengui put the night vision device on his head, and the night when he couldn't see his fingers became almost the same as the dawn, and it was no problem to see the things around him clearly.

According to the map, they were not far from the Kariqu River Valley, which made it easier for them to get through the weir.

When the [-] garrison soldiers came out, they had already put on the down jackets that Li Yi had prepared for the army in advance. Over the years, Li Yi not only had people make wool products, but also had people open a special military workshop to provide soldiers with military equipment. supplies.

Such as down jackets and wool coats are not uncommon.

But for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, it was a different experience. As soon as they put it on, someone shouted in shock.

"Oh, what kind of clothes are these, so light and so warm!"

"Don't tell me, I don't know where to use my whole body after taking off the armor and putting on this clothes."

"Hey, they are both soldiers, so why is there such a big gap? The soldiers in Youzhou have such warm clothes, but we have nothing. It's really hard to compare people."

"Don't say it, let people hear it, this is going to be beheaded."

The soldier next to him tugged the arm of the person who was speaking. In fact, Xue Rengui, Shan Xian and Duan Zhixuan all heard what they said, and the three had completely different expressions on their faces.

Shan Xian and Xue Rengui are both proud and commonplace.

But Duan Zhixuan's complexion was a bit dark, and he was also wearing a down jacket, which had to be said to be very warm, but after hearing what the soldiers said with his own ears, he was no longer in a good mood.

He couldn't help sighing silently in his heart, what a Yihuang, what a trick to win people's hearts.

"Drink some wine to warm up your body, there will be plenty of room for you to contribute later." Duan Zhixuan said lightly.

Shan Xian heard the words, and quickly took the words, "Yes, this wine for the soldiers is the best wine in our Youtang. Emperor Yi sympathizes with the soldiers for their hard work, and specially prepares it for everyone."

"Thank you Emperor Yi." After Shan Xian finished speaking, the [-] garrison soldiers quickly expressed their thanks.

Duan Zhixuan's face turned dark again, but he couldn't get angry, after all, he couldn't find fault with what the other party did.

Half an hour later, Xue Rengui, Shan Xian, and Duan Zhixuan set off with [-] garrison soldiers. It was not an option to go all the way in the dark, so Xue Rengui and Shan Xian turned on portable searchlights to illuminate the way forward for the soldiers.

This thing was a reward given by the system after Li Yi finished beating the Turks. He thought it would be useless at first, but he didn't expect to use it at this time.

As soon as the light came on, the generals of the Tang army exclaimed again, "What kind of artifact is this, it can illuminate the night so brightly?"

"It must be how many candles are burned in it."

"Everyone says that Emperor Yi descended from the gods. From my point of view, it is probably true. General Xue brought something that we have never heard of or seen before."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up." Duan Zhixuan urged while distributing lamps.

If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the soldiers will be divorced from Datang.

While Xue Rengui and the others were hurrying along with [-] garrison soldiers, Tuyuhun had already received the news of the alliance between the two armies, and asked people to stay here early in the morning. If there was any change in the Tang army, they would report it immediately.

It was difficult to travel at night, even with searchlights, the marching speed was still much slower. It took them two full hours to reach the Kariqu River Valley, as the Tuyuhun people called it, but in fact, for Xue Rengui and the others, this is the Yellow River. source.

"Everyone rested for a quarter of an hour, and then began to dredge the meander."

"Yes!"

The soldiers sat down in response.

A quarter of an hour later, under the command of Duan Zhixuan, the generals of the Tang army began to dredge the Yellow River.

"Everyone, be careful and be safe." They wouldn't take the risk if it wasn't a last resort.

The busy time always passed quickly, and when the river was completely cleared, the sky was already bright.

After rushing for several hours, and then dredging the river, the soldiers of the Tang army were exhausted, tired and hungry, but when they saw the Yellow River roaring like a giant dragon, rushing towards the direction of Datang, they felt that everything was worth it .

After Xue Rengui and Shan Xian took out the food from the rings and distributed it, they urged: "Everyone, fill up your belly first and recharge your spirits. Wait for the Tuyuhun people to come later. We still have a tough battle to fight."

"Hehe, I'm afraid we don't have to wait for a while." Shan Xian said with a sneer as he watched the Tuyuhun soldiers appearing from all directions.

[I was going to write an extra chapter, but today someone came to me to get something, what should I do with the glutinous rice balls that I won’t refuse?
