"Okay, all the generals are here. Go back and prepare your weapons. After breakfast, we will all set off..."
With Hesheli Halley's order, the entire military camp became operational again.
The war is coming next, and the food in the morning at the military camp will naturally be better today.
All of a sudden, various sounds of slaughtering pigs and sheep were heard in the military camp. In less than an hour, a sumptuous meal of meat was presented to the Eight Banners soldiers who were about to go on an expedition.
For this meat meal, Hesheli Halley spent a lot of money. So every soldier going to the battlefield was given a bowl full of meat.
This meat would have been nothing if these Eight Banners soldiers had not come here. But now, for them who have been undergoing high-intensity training and have no delicious food, this bowl full of meat is simply the most delicious thing in the world.
Therefore, while eating meat, many Eight Banners soldiers told the people around them that after the war and mission were completed and they returned home, they would eat meat for a month to satisfy themselves.
These words naturally made many people around him laugh, but they also agreed with them in their hearts.
The training for more than two months was really hard.
Looking at these new-born calves who are not afraid of tigers and laugh while eating meat, the veterans have mixed feelings in their hearts.
Hesheli Harley could deceive the new recruits, but he could not deceive these veterans who had been on the battlefield.
What to say "They are all elites and can sweep away the rebels."
This is a joke.
If the Yi army was really so weak, how could it possibly occupy half of the richest places in the Qing Dynasty? How could we still need to train new recruits like them? Simply dispatching soldiers from the Green Battalion would be enough.
But looking at their laughter and laughter, the veterans couldn't bear to reveal these things.
After all, this meal may be the last beautiful meal in their lives, and there is really no need to ruin the atmosphere.
Therefore, except for some veterans who are actually related to each other and will tell their relatives who are about to go to the battlefield some survival skills, most of the recruits have great longings and fantasize about finishing the war and completing their missions before they can go home. situation.
At the end of the day, Hesheli Halley ordered the whole team to set off.
Shan County and Feng County are adjacent, and the military training camp in Shan County is only a short distance of more than 40 miles from Feng County.
This distance can be said to be long or short.
In the case of a rapid march, it can be reached in up to half a day.
However, a rapid march must consume a lot of physical strength and is not conducive to the subsequent war.
Taking into account the army's transportation of anchors, heavy materials, etc., generally a distance of forty miles is a day's march for the army.
According to Hesheli Halley's wishes, if they set off now, they can reach the border of Shan County and Feng County in the afternoon.
After arriving at the border, they set up camp and let the army rest for a night to regain their strength. They can launch a sudden attack on Fengxian early the next morning and catch the garrison in Fengxian by surprise. At that time, completing the mission will definitely be easy.
At this time, both sides are still in the transitional period of the peace agreement. The Yi Army did not send troops across the border to harass Hesheli Halley's march, so Hesheli Halley's march went extremely smoothly.
Even when they were stationed near the border, the Yi army still didn't notice them.
Everything was too calm and smooth, and there was a hint of weirdness in it, which made Hesheli Halley, who had been fighting for many years, feel a little uneasy.
Judging from his fights with Yijun over the years, it is impossible for Yijun to be completely unaware of them.
But now he has no choice but to shoot.
The envoy sent by the emperor also followed the team, indicating that Qianlong was also eager to know whether the newly trained soldiers and horses could defeat the invincible Yijun.
If Hesheli Halle dared to retreat at this time, God knows what the envoy would say to Qianlong after he returned?
So along the way, Hesheli Halley could only be cautious and comfort himself not to worry too much. All this may be because the Yijun on the opposite side has been paralyzed by its constant victory and is just careless.
But so what, until they set up camp at the border, everything was going well.
The next morning, after breakfast, the army continued to move forward.
When they entered less than two miles away, a five-man sentinel and cavalry team from the Yi Army appeared in front of the army and blocked their way.
Faced with the sudden appearance of the enemy, Hesheli Harley was also surprised. But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was normal. If his army had penetrated deep into Feng County and had not encountered the Yijun army, then he would have to consider whether to cancel the operation to prevent the army from falling into the enemy's trap.
At this time, I saw a man coming out of the sentry cavalry, shouting loudly in front: "The Qing army on the opposite side, you have crossed the line, return to your line immediately, otherwise your behavior will be regarded as a war provocation, and it will cause serious consequences." You will all bear the consequences.”
And just when the sentry rider finished shouting, several gunshots were heard. It turned out that several Eight Banners soldiers thought that these sentries were rare moving targets and rare military merits, so they fired regardless of the order.
And this sentry rider was also very lucky. Several bullets did not hit his vitals, but hit the horse sitting on the seat, which had a bigger target. Although the horse had fallen to the ground, his left arm was accidentally hit. It's just a bullet scratch and bleeding.
When his companion saw this, he immediately pulled him onto his horse after he fell to the ground, and then rode away quickly.
At this moment, Hesheli Halley no longer cared about investigating who fired the shot without authorization, and immediately ordered the army to march quickly to launch a surprise attack.
The entire Feng County is not that big, and with the speed of the cavalry, they can quickly convey the news of the invasion back to their military camp. The more prepared they are by then, the more casualties they will suffer, so now the only way to maximize benefits is to march quickly and catch them off guard.
Following Hesheli Harley's order, the new recruits rushed forward as if they had been pumped with blood, as if they saw that they were about to kill everyone, and as if they saw that they had successfully completed any subsequent task. , the scene when the family is waving and laughing at themselves.
When the envoy sent by Qianlong saw this scene in front of him, he couldn't help but shout to Hesheli Halley: The military morale is available.
At this time, Hesheli Halley no longer thought about it and just rode forward.
As the army marched quickly, they soon discovered the front line of the Yijun camp. The Yi army on the position seemed to be shocked after discovering them. They only fired a few symbolic shots to resist and then fled the position.
Hesheli Halley always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think too much and had to order the army to attack the Yijun garrison camp opposite.
