In the morning, in Jiankang East, the army was driving out of the city, and many people were watching along the road, watching the official army leave the city.

There are always people in Jiankang City who are well-informed, so they know where the official army is going to go this time.

"I heard that this is going out of Jinling County to suppress the rebellion in the east, and the rebels are going to be in trouble now."

"Who said he was going to Jinling? I heard that Jinling has been lost. The official army is going to Yanling, not far from Jinling."

"But I heard that the rebels are powerful and have destroyed many cities, burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Can the official army beat the rebels away when they go?"

"Oh, who have you heard nonsense? This official army is going to Jurong and guard the east gate of Jiankang."

"Jurong? It's not far from Jiankang. It's seventy or eighty miles away, and there are also transportation boroughs. It's convenient to transport food, grass and supplies. I think this is to guard Jurong and prevent the rebels from attacking."

The onlookers were talking, and looking at the soldiers passing by, they gradually discovered the difference.

Some soldiers were full of murderous aura, while others looked bitter. If they were not wearing military uniforms and their expressions were obvious, they would be no different from ordinary people.

If these people are young and strong in the army, they will not wear military uniforms. Since they are wearing military uniforms, they are of course soldiers, but they give people the feeling that "soldiers are not like soldiers", then what's going on with these soldiers?

"This is a new recruit from the official camp of Dongyecai. He has only been practicing for more than a month. He took off his military uniform and is no different from you and me."

Someone told the whole story, but others couldn't believe it after hearing this: I've just been practicing for a month and I'm going to go to the battlefield?

"This is not going to fight, it is clearly going to die!" Someone muttered in a low voice, and many people looked at these soldiers and felt quite sympathetic.

Some people also disagree: "So what if they die? They sold their lives to the government, and their families had food to take, so the food was taken for nothing? Now that they are asked to go to the battlefield, they have to go."

"Since they dare to eat this bite of food, they will know that it will be today sooner or later, so it's not pitiful."

As the conversation was getting louder, several men looked at the team passing by on the street, listened to the left and right discussions, exchanged glances with each other, and then disappeared into the crowd.

In the marching team, Huang Yan, dressed as a man, followed Li Li as a general. She had outstanding appearance, so her face turned a little gray and black so that people would not be suspicious after seeing her true face.

Looking at the large number of panic-defying new recruits in the team, Huang Gui's heart was very heavy.

At the end of last year and at the beginning of this year, the soldiers of the "Dongye Camp" recruited by Li Li in Jiankang were still new soldiers who had never fought hard battles. These soldiers would probably not be able to withstand the hand-to-hand combat with the enemy for a long time.

But he is already considered a veteran, and the soldiers who have been recruiting and training for more than a month cannot be called soldiers at all, and they are not even as good as guards.

As a result, I have to go out to fight!

Once on the battlefield, it would be great if such soldiers were not scared to tremble with their legs. How could they expect them to kill the enemy?

The more Huang Feng thought about it, the more he felt that it was right to follow the battle. Although Li Li repeatedly emphasized that it would be fine if he brought the new soldiers to go to the battle, Huang Feng didn't believe it and must follow.

Now it seems that this expedition is in danger, and she has made up her mind to share hardships with Li Li no matter what.

......

In the evening, in the wilderness and in the temporary camp, soldiers who had been marching for a day were building tents, then resting for a night, and continuing to travel early tomorrow morning.

When the official army goes to war, they must first arrive at Jurong, and then depending on the situation of the enemy, they may continue to advance eastward and approach Yanling.

Whether it is defense or attack, war must be fought. For the new recruits in the official camp who went to fight with the army, war is a fatal matter.

When the new recruits sighed one by one, they might not be able to survive.

They were recruited into the official camp to join the army, in fact, to make a living, and to give their families a bite of food and a little safer place to live.

The price is to go to the battlefield.

Therefore, the recruits sold their lives to the official corps. Now, when it is time to take out their lives, many people are very scared.

After more than a month in the camp, many of them could not even tell the difference between the left and right. They could barely understand some orders, and then they only practiced shooting with crossbows.

The crossbow is simple to use, but in a month, I can't practice anything. Many people have never seen blood, let alone killed people. They have never practiced martial arts in the military camp. If they are in a hurry to go to the battlefield, they will be like killing them.

Therefore, after the team left Jiankang, many people suffered from insomnia and even had nightmares on the first night of camping.

Now it's the second night, and I'm afraid more people will toss and turn, and wait until tomorrow comes Jurong, and maybe they will be in war soon.

The night before the war, many people will definitely be scared and insomnia.

The atmosphere in the camp was very depressing and mixed with uneasiness. Liang Sen, who was patrolling the camp, felt it.

Looking at the dazed new recruits and listening to the faint sighs in the tents, he remembered the scene when the teenagers attacked the first time the first time they took the guards to the shui bandit camp.

On the night before the battle, many people suffered from insomnia and many were nervous, even himself was no exception.

He was still a "soldier" who had been diligently trained for several months, and everyone had armor and a sling. Now these recruits have only been practicing for a month, so they cannot be said to be soldiers at all. They may not even have armor, so it would be strange if they are not afraid.

Such a "soldier" will die when he goes to the battlefield. There is no doubt that this is true.

Liang Sen knew that if it weren't for the troops brought by Li Li, the "veterans" in Poyang would be guarding and staring at them. In addition, the families of these soldiers had already lived in concentrated areas, like hostages, a large number of deserters would have appeared last night.

Seeing the bleak clouds in front of him, Liang Sen was not worried because Li Li had already told him the "bottom", so Liang Sen was confident.

Even if Li Li didn't say it, Liang Sen believed that the young man would have a way to win the battle.

Turning to the middle of the camp, there were more than ten twin-wheeled vehicles loaded with cargo. Fences were raised around them, and soldiers were guarding them, looking very cautious.

The horses pulling the cart were eating grass on the side. Many soldiers came back from outside to feed the horses. Liang Sen walked aside, crossed the fence, and asked in Poyang dialect to check the yellow of the cart inside the fence?:

"How about these crossbows, are they all good?"

"Okay, you will definitely win by surprise when the war is in time, haha." Huang? also answered in Poyang dialect.

They are from Poyang, and it is very appropriate to talk in Poyang dialect, because it is difficult to understand for outsiders, so when they talk, they are not afraid of the content of the conversation being heard and leaked.

Beside, among the soldiers feeding horses, one of them was absent-minded: he was not on feeding the horses, but was listening to the conversation between the two "creek dogs" next to him.

Xigou is a despicable term for Jiangzhou people by foreigners (especially those from Jiankang and Sanwu areas). In the Poyang dialect, it is despised by Jiankang people as "barking dogs", and many Jiankang people cannot understand it.

However, the soldier understood.

Therefore, I heard the keyword "repeated crossbow" and the two "repeated dogs" talking to each other, and the description of the repeated crossbow: you can shoot several arrows in a row.

He didn't know how the "repeated crossbow" can "shot several arrows in a row", but he could judge that this kind of crossbow is very powerful, because a crossbow soldier can match several ordinary crossbow soldiers with a continuous crossbow in his hand.

So, this news is amazing and you have to spread it out quickly.
