The army left Jade Elephant City with great fanfare, and then headed towards Thousand Corpses Canyon in full view of everyone.
Throughout the entire process, Song Ziyu did not hide anything, and the military's strategic intentions were almost unreservedly exposed in front of everyone.
From the perspective of knowledgeable people, this army will definitely set up an ambush in the Thousand Corpses Canyon, and then wait for work, catching the army from Mengzhou by surprise.
But isn’t it a bit too contemptuous of the opponent to act like this?
Soon, the news from Song Ziyu's side was passed to Xue Peng by the Bounty Hunter Association.
Such behavior even made Xue Pengju, who led the army to attack, laugh.
"Are these people fools? Do they really dare to despise me like this?"
Xue Pengju couldn't help but laugh like a pig after receiving the information from the Bounty Hunter Association.
"Young Master, these people actually want to block us in Thousand Corpses Canyon. What should be the next step?" the subordinate asked.
Xue Pengju said: "There is no way you can ambush us in Thousand Corpses Canyon! Brothers, we are marching by force. Let's seize the terrain first and catch these idiots off guard."
Hearing Xue Pengju's words, his men howled.
Immediately, the murderous troops from Mengzhou set off to speed up, roaring towards the Thousand Corpses Canyon.
Xue Pengju was confident enough to make such a decision.
Spreading out the march map in his hand, Xue Pengju judged that his position was closer to the Thousand Corpses Canyon. If he carried out a forced march without the enemy's knowledge, he would definitely be able to reach the Thousand Corpses Canyon one step ahead.
As long as you occupy the superior terrain of the canyon, your opponent will definitely lose.
"Hmph! An army that has just been formed for less than two weeks actually wants to challenge me. Are they afraid they are tired of living?"
Xue Pengju didn't take the so-called Dong Ziying seriously at all.
In Xue Pengju's view, these soldiers under his command are the real warriors who have survived a hundred battles, and are elites who have survived cruel wars. Compared with them, what are the stragglers recruited temporarily?
At most it's just an atmosphere group.
So the army marched towards Thousand Corpses Canyon in a mighty manner.
The so-called forced march refers to a high-speed, long-term continuous march.
Forced march emphasizes the intensity of marching. Usually in this way of marching, the physical and mental endurance of officers and soldiers can easily reach the limit.
Xue Pengju graduated from the Northern Steel Alliance Military Command Academy and has extremely rich command experience. He also has his own unique understanding of forced marches.
During the attack and defense of Hongcheng, the 17th Mountain Division to which Xue Pengju was assigned had a record 14-hour forced march of 120 miles, and then ambushed a federal rescue team, and successfully cut off the federal supply line, providing The Northern Steel Alliance created an opportunity to encircle Hongcheng... Unfortunately, the alliance failed in the subsequent war, so this also made previous efforts in vain.
But this does not prevent Xue Pengju's heart from being strong enough.
…
The army marched crazily, which was definitely not an easy thing to do in the wilderness.
Especially when there are no means of transportation, relying on two short legs to trot day and night, most people can't stand it. It's so long that even well-trained warriors can't bear it.
After an intense march, the soldiers were peeing blood.
"Young Master, this is not the way to go. We need to take a rest, otherwise we will be exhausted. Even if we reach the Thousand Corpses Canyon, it will be difficult to immediately form combat effectiveness."
His subordinates tried hard to persuade him.
Xue Pengju took a look at the sky. It was already late at night. The soldiers who lacked nutrition had indeed reached their limit. These soldiers could not be compared with the soldiers of the regular army of the Alliance.
"Go down with the order, rest on the spot, bury the pots to make rice, and continue marching at dawn." Xue Pengju estimated that there were still two or three missing that could be repaired for these soldiers.
When the soldiers heard this, they let out a long sigh and lay on the ground like dead dogs.
Who has the energy to cook when I'm so exhausted?
The soldiers lay on the ground and slept soundly.
However!
These soldiers had just entered a state of relaxation when a terrifying explosion suddenly sounded from all around!
The explosion seemed to be positioned, and all the shells landed on the place where the soldiers were sleeping. They were blown away on the spot and many soldiers lost their lives while they were still in a daze.
Those who survived were not feeling well either. In the dark environment at night, it was impossible to see where the attack was being launched, and there was no target or direction for the counterattack.
Many people were beaten so hard that they could only lie on the ground and howl, and even more people could only scurry around like ants on a hot pot.
Seeing this scene, Xue Pengju felt bad.
"How is it possible? How is it possible?" Xue Pengju exclaimed: "How could they have known that I would forcefully march? How could they have known my route of action? How could they have predicted my prediction?"
"Young Master, the army has collapsed. Please think of a way!" His subordinates wailed and came up for help.
Xue Pengju's face was full of horror. The battle situation was so corrupt, what could he do?
…
"The federal arms are indeed useful!" Song Ziyu looked at the small mortar in front of him and couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration.
"Of course!" Ma Hong, who came with the army, said calmly: "Our federation is the most upright country for mankind and has the most comprehensive technology. This kind of single-handedly The Northern Steel Alliance has been imitating the small mortars used by the soldiers for many years, but unfortunately they have no use."
Ma Hong boasted about himself, which made Zeng Ming's teeth itch while watching the excitement.
"As the saying goes, there are special skills. Your federation's mortars are good, but the individual rocket launcher independently developed by our Northern Steel Alliance is also invincible!" Zeng Ming boasted.
Ma Hong obviously did not accept the move, but instead made a rainbow fart at Song Ziyu.
"Governor Song, sharp weapons and equipment cannot solve the fundamental problem. Tactical execution is the real core... Governor Song, you anticipated the enemy's opportunity and predicted the opponent's prediction. It is really amazing."
Mahone praised.
Hearing this, Zeng Ming, who had high self-esteem, also sighed: "If there was a figure like Governor Song in charge of the regular army of our Northern Steel Alliance, I don't think the frontal battlefield would collapse."
Song Ziyu heard this and said: "You two really put me too high. This is just a routine operation."
"Governor Song, you are really too humble. I think your future may be limitless."
Ma Hong looked at Song Ziyu with a strange expression.
Before this, Ma Hong's psychological expectation for Song Ziyu was just a little country bumpkin warlord. However, after this operation, Ma Hong clearly felt that Song Ziyu was likely to...
If the Federation goes to war with the Northern Steel Alliance again in the future, this person will undoubtedly become a serious problem for the Federation.
