Chapter 271: Flying Fox Road

Han Cheng traveled to the east, first to Yanmen County in the east, and then continued east from Yanmen County.

But further east, you need to cross the Taihang Mountain.

Han Cheng and the others are now moving forward in the Taihang Mountain.

The 800-mile Taihang Mountain, which winds from north to south, splits the counties of Hedong and Hebei, forming a natural dividing line.

There is no endless road in the sky, and there is no endless road in the mountains, such as this dragon-like Taihang Mountain.

It stands here, and although it blocks the east-west traffic, it still leaves some canyon passes for people to pass through.

Taihang Ba Cheng is the general name of these passages.

One of the more famous is the Jing Cheng Trail.

At that time, the soldier immortal Han Xin was a big battle here, so that Jingchengkou here was completely famous in history.

Of course, Han Cheng didn't take the Jingcheng Road.

On the one hand, it is equivalent to Jingcheng Path, where Han Cheng is located, and it is closer to the Flying Fox Road.

And out of the Flying Fox Road, you will arrive at Ueya County.

Continue to the east from Shanggu County, out of Shanggu County, you will arrive at Zhuo County, pass through Zhuo County, Liangxiang, and then go some distance to the northeast, and you will arrive at the place specified by Yang Guang.

If you are forced to take the Jing Cheng Path, you will need to take a long detour.

Han Cheng's brain didn't have a pit, at this time it was a march to fight, not a play in the afterlife, so naturally it was impossible to go there specifically to go there.

Of course, there is another aspect that if you go from the Flying Fox Road, Han Cheng needs to take the soldiers and horses to the north first.

This is just enough to walk with Li Yan who went to Yunnei Racecourse from the county town for some time, and after coming to Yunnei Racecourse, he continued to set off east.

When passing through Canghe Racecourse and Yunnei Racecourse, you can also add some war horses.

Han Cheng brought a total of 1,200 soldiers this time.

Among them, 500 were the Qingque Township Regiment that he had trained himself, and the remaining 700 were county soldiers from Mayi County.

In order to make more contributions to him, the future son-in-law, Li Jing can also be said to have worked very hard.

These 700 people are the elite of the soldiers of Mayi County.

Not only the soldiers, but also the various configurations are very luxurious.

Mayi County itself has a horse farm, and after Han Cheng got rid of Shi Nai He and took Yunnei Horse Farm into his own hands, Mayi County was not short of horses.

At least there is no problem in equipping the 1,200 people led by Han Cheng.

So the ones that Han Cheng is leading now are all cavalry.

However, although it is a cavalry, it is not too fast on the way to walk.

On the one hand, the mountain roads are relatively rough, which is not conducive to the galloping of horses.

On the other hand, it is to save horsepower and protect the war horse.

War horses run fast, but war horses are not those cars that can run tirelessly with refueling in later generations.

War horses need to rest and eat forage, and leave plenty of time for them to ruminate.

If it weren't for the emergency military situation, in the daily march, the cavalry basically led the horses to walk, and rarely rode on the horses to gallop wantonly.

In order to save horsepower, keep the war horse in a good condition, and be able to exert its due impact in the event of a war in the future.

Riding a horse on the march is not only irresponsible for the horse, but also irresponsible for one's own life.

Only when the predetermined battlefield is about to use cavalry to launch an attack or something like that, will the cavalry really move.

There is a saying called raising soldiers for a thousand days, and using soldiers for a while is actually similar to this, which is used at a critical time.

During long marches, many times, the infantry often had to stop and wait for the cavalry.

It's not a joke, it's real.

When it comes to endurance, war horses are far inferior to people.

And it takes a lot of time for war horses to eat food, unlike people, who really encounter an emergency, and even can nibble on a cake while walking.

War horses don't have this skill, so they can only stop and feed.

And eat a lot, the speed is not fast, after feeding it to eat, you have to leave time for it to regurgitate, otherwise the war horse is easy to have problems.

Horses will have swollen bellies, and it won't take long to be able to ride, and many will even die, so the cavalry is really not as fast as imagined.

Of course, this refers to long marches, short air raids, etc., which cannot be counted among them.

In the Taihang Mountain, Han Cheng, who was camping in the village, was thinking about these things while feeding the red fox horse.

Before he came to this world, he also felt that cavalry was less than a hundred miles a day in the daily march, after all, horses run so fast.

But after coming to this world and having a lot of contact with horses, he realized how wrong his previous thoughts were......

Han Cheng's trip was not fast, on the one hand, because there were a lot of horses in the army, and on the other hand, he carried a lot of baggage, grain and grass.

For Han Cheng to carry so much heavy grain and grass, Li Jing and Wei Chigong were a little incomprehensible.

Because in order to prepare for this expedition, Yang Guang had already established a large warehouse in Zhuojun as early as before, and constantly collected grain and grass there.

By now, the grain and grass gathered there have reached a terrifying scale, and there is no need to worry about not having enough food and grass to eat.

Moreover, on the way to Zhuo County with his soldiers and horses, when he passed through various counties, he could get supplies of grain and grass from these places, and he didn't have to worry about running out of grain and grass at all.

Regarding the incomprehension of Li Jing, Wei Chigong and others, Han Cheng did not explain too much.

After all, in his previous impression, the soldiers and horses who went to attack Goguryeo were not enough at all.

It is not that the large amount of grain and grass gathered in Zhuojun is not enough, but because the section from there to Liaodong is relatively slow, the troops and horses are scattered, and the supply lines are lengthened, so the pressure on the transportation of grain and grass is not ordinarily great.

When Han Cheng was resting here, preparing for the next move, here at the Yunnei Racecourse, Li Yan was riding on his horse and looking towards the east.

The man went away with his soldiers, and took her heart with him.

At the same time, he also took away the tenderness that belonged to him.

Li Yan, who was not by Han Cheng's side, once again became the heroic and unsmiling little lady of the Li family......

Not only Han Cheng, but as Yang Guang's order came down, the entire Great Sui moved with it.

Some counties that are far away from the east, as early as a few years ago, there were already people with soldiers and horses and set off towards Zhuo County.

This is the majesty of the emperor, a word, the whole country moves.
