Mona raised the pig urine bubble bag, first drank a lot of water, and then poured some water on her head and face. She felt a coolness and her spirit was much more excited.

The climate in Dongfan is really hot and deep in the belly. It is not deep in the cool mountains. It specifically chooses shrubs, dense forests, and walking along the river.

The low hills and shrub areas have little wind and can't blow the sea breeze, and it's not as refreshing and cool as the mountains. This long-distance training for about ten days is walking along the hills outside the mountains and hilly areas, including the northwest direction.

There is no mountain or sea along the way, and there is a desolation everywhere.

Even Mona saw countless herds of deer, each with more than a hundred.

There are also large flocks of yellow sheep and countless wild animals.

This place is located between the coastline and the mountains, with no roads, streams and shrubs and dense forests everywhere. Many places along the way need to use sharp machetes to open the way.

This was an extremely arduous march, so hard that even the natives like Mona who lived in the mountains all year round could not withstand it.

After ten consecutive days, everyone had darkened and lost weight.

In fact, everyone's food was good, including more than a dozen indigenous guides.

This time, the Gaoshan tribe sent a guide to the scene, which was a manifestation of kindness. Before that, the two sides fought each other. After seeing the cavalry of the Nan'an Prefecture Army, the tribes surrendered and began to gradually contact and trade.

The trade between the two sides was basically equal, and even the Nan'an Marquis Mansion was slightly taken care of, so the tribes received a lot of supplies, and their hostility was greatly reduced.

When Xu Zixian decided to train for a long distance this time, the elders in the tribe had no special statements, and even sent young and middle-aged men like Mona to serve as guides for the army.

Of course, he was very welcome to this kind of wind, and Xu Zixian specially rewarded the tribe with 100 stones of grain, as well as some pork, cooking oil, beans, etc. The tribes were very happy.

The same is true for the Mona tribe. Although people died in each family and their houses were burned down during the last war, there were too many things among the natives who burned and killed each other. There were also things that happened to fight enemies the day before yesterday and make peace the day after tomorrow.

Although the losses were heavy, the Nan'an Marquis Mansion also gave appropriate compensation. The Mona tribe no longer hated him. Even due to the heavy losses, they were more respectful and careful about the Nan'an Marquis Mansion.

Mona is the son of the elder, and he has no choice but to come out this time. He is not very willing, not afraid of suffering, but he is a little bit of hatred towards these Wei people in his heart.

But in just a short time, his hidden hatred and desire to take revenge were gone, leaving only a deep awe.

What kind of army is this in front of you?

Or, what kind of person is Xu Zixian, the Marquis of Nan'an?

After ten days, I kept walking to the north end, passing through dense forests, shrubs, and climbing hills and hills. Everyone walked, and no one rode a horse, even the same was true for Nan'an Hou Xu Zixian.

Walking through streams and rivers, crossing mountains, we deal with lees, mosquitoes, gadflies, small bites, poisonous snakes, and wild beasts every day. More than 2,000 people walk in the quiet mountains, with no people or roads. More than 100 people take turns to open the way with long swords in hand, and when they encounter shrubs and vines that are tied together, they cut them open.

Mona had no idea why he had to open up the road like this and keep heading north?

Why is it that you abuse yourself and soldiers so hard?

I can't see the sea or enter the mountains. I keep moving forward with great difficulty, working hard to fight nature, wild beasts and mosquitoes.

I walk every day, in the morning and in the afternoon.

It rains and leaves as well as hot.

When you leave in the morning, you will be wet. When you camp at night, you can see the sweat-like salt crystals when you take off your robes.

I have to drink several bags of water every day, but fortunately there is plenty of water along the way.

Everyone carried a lot of weight. The guides gave twenty kilograms of dried meat on their backs. All the soldiers were pierced armor, carrying dry food, dried meat, clean water, purses for miscellaneous items, archers, divine arm bows, bags of archers and short weapons.

Everyone's hair is so smelly. It's okay for the natives to have short hair, but the Wei people have long hair. They are tied together every night when they emit, exuding a stinking smell.

Every day, my feet are sore and my legs are swelling. Many people have had blood blisters a few days ago. When I picked blood blisters at night, I wailed and died.

You must wrap your calves every day and wrap your calves. One is to prevent mosquitoes, and the other is to facilitate long-distance walking and disperse when you go to bed at night.

Every day, we have to soak our feet in hot water. There are dozens of fire soldiers in the army. Every night, we set up a large pot of meat and pancakes, and then boil the water in the large pot for the soldiers to soak their feet.

Many people joked that the meat soup smelled like in the foot soaking water.

It takes at least ten to twelve hours a day, and an average of twenty to thirty miles per hour. It is quite difficult to walk, and many places are broken through obstacles.

Everyone was fully armed, with a mattress on their backs and no tents. They demarcated areas when camping, took turns to be on guard, lit a bonfire, put some sharpened wood on the front as a horse, and then laid out the mattress to sleep.

Put some mosquito repellent herbs when burning a bonfire. If not, everyone will be eaten by mosquitoes as big as fists.

There are more than a dozen medical officers following you, and there are horse teams in the distance. Some people fall behind when they are sick and will be taken sheltered. However, if they are not strong in will and physically unsupported, they will give them a chance to keep up. If they still give up, they will be removed from the army directly.

The consequences were quite serious. Mona saw soldiers talking and laughing all the way, while others were just gritting their teeth and persevering.

As for taking the initiative to leave the team, or even mentally collapsed and leaving the team, there were more than ten people who really couldn't hold on.

Nan'an Hou did not blame these people, but this generation should not stay in the army anymore. Due to long-term military training, it was a pity that he wasted, so he was transferred to serve as a guard.

The guards are now also the main force to prevent the indigenous people. They hold bows and arrows, ride horses and patrol the border, wear green military uniforms, wear red tassels, hats, carry bows and arrows, and hang their swords on their waists, whistling like the wind. After these people were on the periphery, the indigenous people in the mountains made an appointment to stay away, or they would never dare to cause trouble.

After all, even if the tradition of cutting human heads and proving bravery in the indigenous tribes is left to be successful, it is still possible to achieve success. If one dies one, the young men in the tribe will die before they become adults, so why bother?

In addition, some people who left the team by heatstroke, twisted their feet, were infected with athlete's foot, or were bitten by mosquitoes, and gradually left the team.

After a few days of traveling north, there are places with vast seas and sparse skyscrapers, and large plains. Looking far away, there are shrubs and weeds everywhere, and the deep grass and sieve are prey, and there are mountains in the distance. The mountains gradually rise from north to south until they hide in the clouds and mist, which is difficult to see.

The journey north reached the middle of the verge of the sacred place. Mona saw the Marquis of Nan'an riding his horse and then continuing to run for a distance to watch the situation in the north.

After a long time, the Marquis of Nan'an rode his horse back south again.

After that, the army returned south, and the soldiers ate most of the food and started to hunt with their archers. They shot dozens of big deer in one day, peeling barbecue meat, and the soldiers were jubilant and their morale was encouraged.

Hunting was not allowed before, because long-distance marching was likely to go deep into the enemy territory, so how could the supply and hunting skills be needed? Therefore, the base of military rations for soldiers to carry are tested. This is used to calculate the difficulty of long-distance marching without supply to the enemy territory. The supply, morale of soldiers, and the daily march distance are calculated by the staff of the cardinal room.

The feeling of Mona is that if it is on the flat ground, there are not so many shrubs, hills and rivers blocking the road. Even if each person carries a weight of 50 or 60 kilograms, he can walk at least 50 or 60 miles a day.

If you have been going north for more than ten days, you may be able to go further. However, Nan'an Hou obviously had no intention of this and turned back halfway.

It took twelve days on the road and more than 500 miles to travel. Wherever I passed was not to walk straight roads, but to take on difficult and difficult roads. The soldiers lost weight after a lot of weight. By May 21st, they would have to return to the military camp downstream of Nan'anxi in another day or two. The soldiers were all happy. Even if the indigenous people thought of going back to the tribe to see their relatives, they were all happy.

On the 22nd, the Marquis of Nan'an issued a general, and each of the natives gave him two stagnant money, two pigs and two stones of food. When he returned to the garrison, he was paid by the officials and brought back by the natives themselves.

All the guides were impressed by this. Even the son of an elder like Mona, the family was not very good. The natives had the legacy of the primitive tribe. Even the clan leader, the elders could not occupy too much resources. They were just better than the lowest-level tribes. They could get two stale money, hundreds of kilograms of grain, and two pigs. It was a surprise, and it was also a reward for these natives who worked hard for more than ten days.

At this moment, Mona understood in her heart that not to mention others, even the vague sense of resistance and alienation in her heart was almost gone.

Yes, war broke out on both sides, and many natives died, but since the Gaoshan tribe was the one who initiated the war, it is natural to bear the pain of failure.

Even if the two sides continue to be hostile, there is no way to revive the dead soldiers. Since this is the case, we should consider it more for the living people? After the Wei people won, they did not continue to sweep the mountains, and even the burning of the wasteland stopped. Maybe because the burning of the wasteland would be the hilly area, so the Wei people did not continue.

Trade began on both sides, and a friendly atmosphere gradually emerged. It was unnecessary to grasp the hatred of the past.

The key point is that Mona is really scared.

This long-distance marching, with mosquito miasma and shrubs passing through it, only a dozen people could not bear to leave the team on their own, but they were not criticized. Everyone was very friendly. Nan'an Hou even stroked his shoulders to comfort him, but he had no hesitation and was never lenient to expel the army. The soldiers of the three armies also agreed.

Those who can stay are under the high temperature of more than ten days, carrying dozens of kilograms of weight, eating dry food, drinking raw water every day, traveling for a long distance, with dark faces and thin body, but they are always persevering, without retreating or fear, and their morale has never been shaken.

These people are optimistic and love to laugh, and do not like to complain. When camping at night, they use needles to pick out blood blisters and whisper a few times. Then they drink water, chew wheat cakes and jerky meat, and do not think it is bitter, but rather happy.

They continued to march, and they were not allowed to speak during the march. Everyone was silent, both ordinary soldiers and officers, including Xu Zi, the Marquis of Nan'an, opened up the road and continued to walk. Every morning, there was a quarter of an hour to eat, and then went after lunch, and then rested. After lunch, you could rest for three quarters of an hour after dinner, and then continued walking.

In the afternoon, I will choose a place to camp in the evening, have supper, soak my feet, pick out the water, and then fall asleep immediately.

This is the case every day, only during supper, people will chat, joke, and relieve the tension of the day.

There will be practices every few days. During the march, the drums suddenly sounded, and then the soldiers immediately formed a formation under the flags, with long snares in the center, swords and cards in front, bows and crossbows behind, and round formations formed in an instant. Then the soldiers shouted slogans, long snares forward, slapping the knife, and the archer was slapping the strings, and the archer was bending, so they pretended to meet the enemy.

At the beginning, the array was still very panicked. Many soldiers could not find the officers and flags of the headquarters. After several times, they gradually became familiar with it. In almost instant, the circular array, square array, or horizontal array would be formed immediately. The dazzling array changes were already quite simple and clear for these soldiers and officers, and there was no need to worry.

This is also what Mona is most convinced. Although the Wei army's armor, weapons, and horns are jealous, and those strong bows and crossbows are frightening, the indigenous people cannot learn the ability to fight in these arrays.

A strong crossbow can be imitated, and armor and weapons can be used to seek it. However, the ability to fight later in this formation requires accumulation and training. Which tribe can do it?

By the time the reward was distributed, Mona was convinced and no longer had the idea of ​​becoming an enemy.

"This is Mona..." After the announcement of the reward, Mona and more than ten other natives came to Nan'an Hou to kowtow. Kneeling and worshiping was the highest etiquette of the tribe. The Wei people actually just bowed.

Mona lay down on the ground and saw the tip of Nan'an Hou's boots. He felt uneasy and a little frightened.

"Oh, is it the tribe we attacked?" Mona understood the Wei people's language, and most of the rest could understand it. When he heard this, Mona couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"Get up, the man's husband, except to kneel down to worship his ancestors, do not bow to anyone." When Mona heard Nan'an Hou's words, he felt Nan'an Hou's arms support him, and he stood up.

Marquis of Nan'an is very tall, and Mona is considered a big figure among the tribes, but she is still much shorter than Marquis of Nan'an.

The shoulders are very wide and thick, and the waist is very thin. It looks like a typical warrior's body, with long and thick legs, like a wooden pillar supporting the sky.

Mona knew that Nan'an Hou pulled the bow and practiced his strength every day, and practiced heavy chopping every day. The knife technique was simple and clear, and there were not many changes. However, when he slashed, there were no one in a hundred people who could avoid or resist.

This is a martial arts master of the generals of the Wei Dynasty. He exerted force, accumulated strength, and moves to kill the enemy with one move. Nan'an Hou's sword technique was violent and direct, which made people shocked to watch. Mona thought he was a warrior, but knew that he was not the enemy of Nan'an Hou's sword. If he faced it in front of him, he would probably kill him with one sword.

After standing up, Mona heard Nan'an Hou say, "The past is a battle formation, and it cannot be avoided. Put aside our hatred and will not attack each other again."

Mona said: "The villain and the tribe have obeyed the king and the princes. We believe in the promises and will not repeat them again."

He heard the Nan'an Hou say, "It's so great. This time the march is hard, so I'll give you a generous reward. After returning to the army, the soldiers will also have money and rewards for cow and wine. Let's have a good rest and relax at that time."

Mona clasped her fists and said, "Yes, thank you, marquis."
