243 Expeditions
In the early spring, the warm sun is already high, but the snow has not yet had time to melt, and the wild jungle and prairie are still white.
It stands to reason that no tribe will organize a large-scale operation at this time, after all, there is still snow on the ground, and camping is a problem wherever you go, and people can't lie on the snow, right?
However, at this time, the Haotian Battalion had already begun to act, and the Dragon God Battalion, the Yaksha Battalion, the Ganda Battalion, the Asura Battalion, etc., all sent five hundred elite horsemen, escorting hundreds of carriages of supplies, like a hundred rivers converging, and went straight to the Tianshen Camp station.
The prairie suddenly became lively, except for the Garuda camp, there was no movement, and the other seven battalions of the Haotian Department had already taken action.
At this time, Zhao Hao had already rushed to the Tianshen Camp with Ji Rushuang's brothers and sisters.
In the handsome tent, four pots of charcoal fire were burning in the corner, Ji Rushuang, Ji Wei, and Ah Hua were all full of excitement, but Zhao Hao sat in the main seat with a calm face and didn't say a word.
Soon, there was a black horse with an abnormal horse galloping from a distance, and before the tent was close, the knight on the horse grabbed the horse, flew down, swept directly into the tent, knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "Report, the general of Longshen Yingshan led five hundred elite horsemen to be less than two hundred miles away. ”
Zhao Hao nodded slightly, and then ordered loudly: "General Mingshan speed up the march, and you must arrive today." ”
The spirit rider said "Yes", and then got up and flew away.
After a while, another knight came to report that General Lin led the 500 Yaksha battalion to cavalry less than 200 miles away.
Zhao Hao also ordered Alin to speed up the march and be sure to come to the meeting on the same day.
Ji Rushuang couldn't help but be curious: "Husband, it's still early, and the snow hasn't melted yet, why are you in such a hurry?" ”
Zhao Hao explained carefully: "The operation of the army is different from our solo riding around the hunt, and we have to plan many things in advance. For example, food and pasture, we are three or four thousand people this time, and the consumption of meat and pasture alone is more than 100,000 catties a day, and a month, that is several million catties, and if we march with supplies, the speed is definitely not as good as running on horseback alone, and the army just rushes to the north of the grassland, I estimate that it will take about a month. In the northern part of the grassland, we still have to build a road to the Nanjiang Department, otherwise, millions of catties of materials will not be able to be transported over, and it is estimated that it will take about a month just to build the road and transport the materials to the Nanjiang Department. Then, we led the army to attack Tumeng's garrison, and we had to build roads to move forward, otherwise the supplies would not be able to keep up, and during this period, it would take another two or three months. Think about it, it's only been a few months from early spring to late autumn, if the war doesn't go well, can we take the western flank of Xue Man's department this year? ”
When Ji Rushuang heard this, she couldn't help but nod with admiration on her face.
She really didn't think about it so much, because this was the first time she had participated in a big battle with thousands or even tens of thousands of people.
This time is indeed urgent, Zhao Hao can't even wait for all the soldiers of the seventh battalion to arrive, and early the next morning, he ordered Ji Rushuang to lead Ah Hua, Ah Shan, Ah Lin and their 1,500 elite horsemen, with more than 1,000 carts of supplies.
Next, after another ten days, Ah Feng and Ah Xing arrived with their elite cavalry and supplies.
Zhao Hao was not verbose, and directly ordered them to continue on the road with their men and supplies, all the way to the north, and rushed to meet Ji Rushuang and Ah Hua and others in front.
It was more than ten days later that Ah Shu and Ah Huo arrived one after another with their subordinates and supplies.
Zhao Hao directly ordered Ah Shu, who was the most old-fashioned and heavy-minded, to stay at the Tianshen Camp to mobilize and transfer materials, and ordered Ah Huo to take his subordinates to rush north with more than 1,000 truckloads of supplies to join the large army in front, and then, he took a hundred guards and hundreds of transferred war horses, traveled lightly, and went straight to the northern edge of the grassland.
He was the fastest runner along the way, compared to the soldiers of the eighth battalion with supplies, their speed was more than twice as fast, but by the time he arrived at the northern edge of the grassland, Ji Rushuang had already taken Ah Hua and them to set up a large camp there and waited for many days.
At this time, the snow had just melted, and it seemed that there were still ten days left at the agreed time with Wu Jiangnan, but Zhao Hao couldn't wait.
He directly ordered Ji Rushuang to sit in the big camp and wait for the soldiers of each battalion to arrive one after another, while he himself took Ah Hua, Ah Shan, Ah Lin and his elite to take turns into the wild jungle and began to cut down trees and build roads.
Because he couldn't determine the specific location of the Nanjiang Department, he was relatively restrained, every day, he only took one battalion of elites to cut down trees and build roads, and the other two battalions of elites were stationed in the camp under the leadership of Ji Rushuang, responsible for guarding.
However, even so, the progress of their road construction is quite amazing, more than ten days later, they have built more than ten meters wide avenue into the wild jungle for more than 100 miles, and at this time, Ah Feng and Ah Xing also led thousands of elites to arrive at the camp on the edge of the grassland.
At this time, the big camp of Haotian was more terrifying, hundreds of camp tents were densely packed on the edge of the grassland, and it was impossible to see the edge at a glance, and the more than 2,000 carts of materials were piled up like small mountains, which was staggering.
So, where are the people of the Nanjiang Department?
On this day, Wu Nanjiang was leading hundreds of his men to speed in the wild jungle, and suddenly, there was a loud crackling sound faintly in front of him, as if some giant beast had hit the big tree in the jungle.
What's going on?
When he looked at it, he was so shocked that his eyes were about to pop out.
It turned out that the big trees in the jungle really fell, and besides, not one or two, but in rows, they fell down, and looking at the direction of the extension, it was their side.
Could it be that some terrifying beast is rushing towards them?
It shouldn't be!
This place is not very far from the edge of the grassland, and it stands to reason that there can't be any terrifying giant beasts at all, if there is, the masters of the various tribes who have passed through here and rushed to the grassland for so many years must have already encountered it.
Question, the trees over there are still falling, and there is no sign of stopping, what is it if it is not a giant beast?
He was just stunned for a moment, then hurriedly waved his hand and ordered his elite to quickly follow him to a hill not far from the right.
If some giant beast really passed by, as long as they hid in the mountains and hid their tracks, they should not be discovered.
When he ran to the top of the hill with his men, he couldn't help but climb a large tree and look in the direction where the trees had fallen in rows.
What kind of monster can make such a big movement?
At this sight, he was suddenly stunned.
Where are there some giant beasts over there, the woods are densely packed with people.
As for the fallen trees, they were all cut down by the two people in front of them.
Moreover, among the two people, there is also a special burly figure, much more burly than the average person.
With such a burly figure, faintly a woman, who else could it be?
It must be the flower general of Haotianbu!
He stared at the burly figure and took a closer look, and sure enough, it was the flower general of the Haotian Division.
That's embarrassing.
He thought about it for a while, but still waved his hand and ran back to the bottom of the mountain with his men's strong men, and went up directly.
Zhao Hao was frantically chopping down trees, but a dense black spot suddenly appeared in the jungle in front of him, rushing towards them.
is so unscrupulous, there is no meaning to hide his body at all, and if he is not a particularly powerful enemy, he is his own people.
And at this time, Tumeng is estimated to be more than a thousand miles away, and nine times out of ten those who came over are from the Nanjiang Department.
He stopped his movements unhurriedly, beckoned Ah Hua again, asked her to stop too, and then stood there with a smile, waiting for the people in the jungle to come out.
Sure enough, after a while, Wu Nanjiang rushed out of the jungle and said with a surprised face: "Big leader, you are also here!" ”
