"Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up!"
On the road from Yunzhou County to the central grassland on the Tatar grassland, an army of more than 300,000 people was advancing rapidly. At the front were five thousand light cavalry exploring the road, followed by infantry.
The third place is actually the heavy baggage soldier who always falls behind.
The last one was the heavy cavalry.
The cavalry of the heavy cavalry unit are not slow, but they have too much equipment and supplies.
In addition to their main horse, there are two backup horses.
In addition to the horses, four auxiliary soldiers followed closely with heavy armor equipment, food and weapons.
In order to wait for these equipment, the heavy cavalry could only reduce their speed and fall at the back of the team. This made the baggage soldiers who were always left at the end and desperately chasing other units very happy.
Finally, there is a troop that is slower than myself.
Ichiro served as a glorious Yunzhou Army auxiliary in this team.
After seven days of emergency special training, their group of auxiliary soldiers was quickly assigned. The heavy cavalry soldier he followed was named Qian.
Qian Sanjia was born in a scholarly family. It is said that his family hoped that he would be in the top three in every exam and shine brightly.
However, he has always been strong and strong since he was a child, but he has never been interested in this. On the contrary, he prefers to wield swords and guns.
Unexpectedly, He was born in a family where poetry and calligraphy were passed down for generations. His thoughts were simply deviant, and he had been constantly attacked by his elders since he was a child.
Originally, he thought that in this life he could only follow the path arranged by his elders and study hard. It didn't matter if he didn't do well. The worst he could do was spend more on exams. Once he got the title of Juren, his family would be able to pass. With his connections, he can be appointed as a minor official in the county. He will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, and he can also protect his family.
However, after being forced to flee to Yunzhou County after a natural disaster, his fate took an unexpected path. Instead of picking up a pen as his parents expected, he picked up another pole - a gun.
When Yunzhou County recruited soldiers, he had no skills except reading. When he first made his own choice, he did not choose to enter the public school of Yunzhou County to become a teacher like his classmates. Instead, he entered Yunzhou County. State Army.
And from the original sword and shield soldier, he overcame all obstacles and became an armored heavy cavalry with the best results.
It is also the branch with the highest pay and the highest subsidies in the military.
While other soldiers are still getting three taels of pay a month, he can already get six taels, which is half of that of ordinary soldiers. In addition, there are various subsidies and so on. After all, his monthly income is at least At twelve.
This immediately made him, who had fled with no money, buy a large house with three bedrooms in Yunzhou City in just two years, and also married a pretty Guanzhong woman with a nice ass and a fertile woman. , gave birth to a fat boy who weighed nine pounds at birth just like when he was a child!
Even if you meet an acquaintance on the street and know that you are an armored heavy cavalry member of the Yunzhou Army, everyone will give you a thumbs up and praise you as a good man!
The house ticket, the girl's honor, are all ready in one go!
This also made Qian Sanjia feel even more proud of his identity as a heavy cavalryman.
Every time he sees Qian Sanjia's tall back, Ichiro can't help but clench his legs. Such a tall, strong and brave man is indeed known as the strongest armored heavy cavalry in the Yunzhou Army!
Being able to serve such an adult is simply a blessing gained from my previous life.
Ever since he was assigned to work under Qian Sanjia, Ichiro simply wished he could do everything by himself.
Whether it was resisting armor, resisting food, or feeding horses, he wanted to do it as long as he still had some strength. The only thing that made him regretful was that he was not allowed to touch the coldly shining lance.
How he wanted to apply maintenance oil to that gun!
It's a pity that he is a Japanese.
But he believes that one day he will gain trust with his loyalty and be quickly exposed to weapons that even gods can possess!
"Ichiro! Bring water!"
Just as Ichiro was running with supplies on his back, Qian Sanjia's voice suddenly came from ahead.
"Okay Master Sanjia! Come right away!"
Ichiro responded, quickened his pace, and quickly chased forward. He soon came to Qian Sanjia who deliberately used his speed and handed the kettle to him.
Qian Sanjia stopped and took a few sips from the kettle, then wiped his mouth and handed the kettle back to Ichiro.
Ichiro looked at the boundless grassland and asked: "Master Sanjia, how long will it take for us to arrive?"
Listening to his lame official talk, Qian Sanjia looked ahead and said casually: "We have one day at most. We just have some rest tonight. The battle may start at any time when we enter the central grassland.
Also, don’t secretly feed eggs to these horses at night. Eggs are rationed. If you feed them too much now, there won’t be enough later. "
"Hey! I understand! Master Sanjia! Promise not to feed them again!"
"Don't call me sir, I'm not your father."
"In my heart, Master Sanjia is the little one's reborn parent!"
Qian Sanjia twitched the corner of his mouth, whipped his horse whip and left quickly.
This Japanese is really speechless.
At night, the army found a place to shelter from the wind and stationed itself. In the Chinese army's tent, Guan Ning and a group of senior officers were discussing matters.
"We will enter the central grassland within an hour at most tomorrow morning. According to the latest intelligence, the Huns' large forces are competing at the moment. As soon as we enter, a battle may break out at any time. Tomorrow, the camp breakout time will be an hour later. Let the soldiers take a good rest so that they will not have the strength to fight."
"promise!"
The officer responsible for blowing the reveille immediately nodded to show his understanding.
Guan Ning nodded, then looked at the other general responsible for managing Ye Bu Sui and said, "How is the road condition in the middle of our front? Is there anything unusual there in Ye Bu Sui?"
The general in charge of the night army immediately handed over his hands and reported: "Back to the general, the road conditions ahead have been fully explored, and the corresponding sand table has been made. The Chinese army's tent will be sent to them later.
But today, when we were exploring all night, we found a Tatar messenger in the central grassland. It may have been that he came in a hurry and was too tired. The person who just saw us fainted after saying a few words. Now I am resting in my camp. "
"What did he say?"
Guan Ning frowned and asked.
General Ye Bushou immediately said: "A hundred miles away from us, the tribes in Tuligen are migrating here, and their Khan Sengge is leading the tribe's warriors to resist the chasing Huns spies. They are the furthest away from the large army. No more than fifty miles.
We met him in the afternoon. Forget it now, the Tuligen tribe should be no more than fifty miles away from us. I guess if we walk fast tomorrow morning, we will meet him before noon. At most, we can meet him in the afternoon of Sengge. superior.
This means that the time left for us to prepare for the battle will not exceed one day. Although the first one to encounter should be the Xiongnu's vanguard force, it is estimated that the large army can catch up in half a day at most. The Huns are all cavalry and can run very fast! "
"Does this mean that we will encounter the Hun cavalry tomorrow afternoon at the latest?" Guan Ning asked.
General Ye Bushou nodded.
Guan Ning shook the riding whip in his hand, then turned around and asked, "Is there any water source ahead?"
"have!"
Ye Bushou General Lin immediately shouted outside, and not long after, two soldiers came in carrying a sandbox.
The generals immediately surrounded him.
General Ye Bushou pointed them more than twenty miles north:
"There is a stream twenty miles in front of us, which is the only source of water within a hundred miles.
There is a high slope near our water source. The terrain is quite suitable for hiding. However, it can only hide up to five thousand people. Any more will be easily discovered.
But if you rush down from here, at the speed of the cavalry, you can reach the water source in no more than fifteen breaths.
Commander, the general thinks we can ambush here. Whether it is the Huns' vanguard or the rear army, as long as they are chasing after them, they must replenish water here. It is an excellent ambush place! "
Ye Bushou Jiang Lin pointed to a high-sloping terrain to the south of the stream and suggested.
A group of generals immediately began to discuss the matter.
