Chapter 119: Seeing Off
However, after three days' effort, the cavalry led by Atahai had crossed the Luan River and plunged into the upper reaches of the Liao River, and the reconnaissance cavalry was released for more than 100 miles, asking for a surprise.
He rushed back from Nanjing Road, originally Kublai Khan was ready to take him as the commander-in-chief, and unify the command of the troops used in the front direction of Lianghuai, but now that there is such a thing, he can only be recalled temporarily, because he is the closest to all the generals, otherwise he can only drive in person.
Of course, they don't know which way the target will go, but from Naiyan's station to Dadu, they can't bypass the Liao River that runs through it, so in Atahai's heart, the best ambush location is on the side of the Liao River, and this plan coincides with the plan that Die's assassination has lost.
According to the distance, the envoys were three to four days faster than their journey, so if they only needed to maintain the current marching speed, they would reach the predetermined location before the other party.
However, this is only an analysis on paper, for a veteran general like Atahai, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and anything can happen, and it must not be taken for granted that this will be the case in a single qiē.
"Yu Wow, from here to the wide river in front of you, your striker must be a day faster than my people, can you do it?"
His arms stretched out in front of him, and a long column of horsemen was moving at a constant speed along the winding road.
He was called by a man of medium stature, even if he was wearing the same attire, only from the face of the Mongols, in fact, Yuwa lost was a Kipchak, his tribe was subdued by the Mongols during Genghis Khan's westward expedition, and since then he has made many military exploits for the Great Khan's military operations, and has become a famous general in the army.
In this battle, he took 2,000 Kipchak cavalry that were incorporated into the Tanma Red Army to become the vanguard of the entire army, and when he heard Atahai's words, he did not immediately agree, but silently calculated in his heart that the speed of the cavalry was already very fast, and it was not an easy task for the forward to reach what Atahai said for another day.
Running does not mean running at full speed, in which case the horsepower will be exhausted early, but on the contrary they must always maintain a moderate speed, neither slow nor fast, and when a horse is almost exhausted, they will immediately change to a reserve horse, so that they can always maintain a high speed during long movements, and also preserve their body.
"I need to add a spare horse."
Soon Yu Wa lost his own conclusion, if he was so fast, he couldn't run at the same speed as before, he could only use horsepower in exchange, and people were not immortals, and everything had to be done.
"No problem, I'll be transferred from my Chinese army in a while, if you find a trace of the enemy, be sure to pester them and not let them escape, if you can't do it, you have to find a way to keep that person, whether you live or die."
Atahai had long known that he would say this, and he did not hesitate to respond, in fact, before leaving, Kublai Khan's request to him was to capture him alive as much as possible, but he could not use this frame to restrain the soldiers in front of him, there is nothing more unacceptable than returning in vain, as long as the leader is removed, the rest is not enough.
In addition to the 2,000 forwards led by Yuwa, he brought a complete cavalry army of 10,000 people, of course, all of them were the tribes of Lingbei that had been assembled one after another, and were incorporated into the Tanma Red Army by the Great Khan.
The people from Lingbei were used to fight Liaodong, in order to deepen the estrangement between the two, which he could guess without being reminded by the Great Khan, as for the foot soldiers in the back, when they rushed over, I was afraid that they could only be used as people's husbands.
Yu Wa set off with the spare horses that Tao replaced, in order to achieve the goal, the fate of these horses was self-evident, and there was no pity in Atahai's eyes.
Since crossing the Luan River, there are no more towns ahead, and there is no one along the way, which means that the army will have to rely on the rations it carries to get through the day, and if the target is let go and the battle is scorched, the final result is difficult to say.
From the capital city to the mouth of Zhigu, along the direction of the Sangganshui into the sea straight but two days of effort, if you rush to the horsepower, more than a day will be able to arrive, and if you bring your family then there is no certainty.
When the pheasant slave and his party arrived at the beach, three days had passed, and Jiang Ning, who was ordered to receive them, waited at sea for a day and a night, but the two did not mean to be impatient when they met.
"Mr. Guan's family was specially instructed by Brother Yu, they are all from the Northland, and suddenly they are unwell on a sea boat, you should take care of others, especially his wife."
Jiang Ning followed the direction she pointed, a carriage carrying two big, two small and four people, Guan Hanqing and his wife and a pair of children, the size of the group of girls behind, but they only dared to look curiously but did not dare to take the initiative to come up, because the girl led by the older one was indescribably cold, and her eyes made Guan Hanqing, an adult, a little flustered.
Obviously, Guan Hanqing was also a little afraid of this trip, the boat brought by Jiang Ning was parked in the bay not far away, this is just a seaside without a dock to dock, they have to board the boat by boat, and their family of four is about to go up to the first batch.
If it doesn't work now, you have to go, the arrangement of the Song people has their own reason, the sea is not better than the land, the strength of the Yuan people is relatively weak, the men who operate the ship are all extremely strong, and the leader is not very old but full of momentum, which makes them feel a lot at ease.
"After those women arrived in Chuzhou, a few of them were going to return to their hometowns, and some of them were going to return to their hometowns."
The pheasant slave beckoned the eldest girl over, and said to Jiang Ning: "These people all follow my surname, they are considered to be members of the Jin family, if you don't have any news of me in the future, you can send them to my brother's house and hand them over to my sister-in-law." ”
"What? You don't go. ”
Jiang Ning heard the meaning of her words, and couldn't help but be surprised, the pheasant slave was the person he wanted to pick up the most on this trip, if she didn't leave, then what was the point of waiting here.
"Who said no, it's just a few days late, you take them first, I will go by land with Li Shiyi and others, this sea ship is not happy, how can you ride a horse freely."
The pheasant slave pretended to smile lightly and explained a few words, and Jiang Ning's eyes had a disappointment that she couldn't hide, which she didn't want to.
When she made this decision, she had already considered the consequences, but the pheasant still couldn't convince herself to leave like that, at least she wanted to know the news from the city.
"Okay, don't be verbose, it's not that you can't see it, remember what I said, these people are handed over to you, and I am grateful to send them to Haosheng."
Without waiting for him to answer, the pheasant slave patted him on the shoulder and turned to his mount, and the old dog and the other man looked at each other and followed without hesitation, for to them, the pheasant sister was the only goal, and no one could let them go first, including the pheasant slave himself.
Jiang Ning understood her temperament, and didn't step forward to stop her, the pheasant slave said a lot of things today, more than he had known for so long and said more, Jiang Ning had an ominous premonition in his heart, maybe he wouldn't be able to see it this time.
