Chapter 559: Rapid March
"Tonight, you set off overnight, rush to Liaodong as soon as possible, I will send a letter to Liu Hongji, as soon as you arrive in Liaodong, the materials by waterway will be sent to your camp immediately, and then Liu Hongji's sailors will cooperate with you to attack Beisha City together, and the rest is to defend Beisha City, where it will be used as a backup for the army, and when supplies are available, they will be gathered in Beisha City, I will lead the army, and then arrive. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" His Majesty Li Er said.
"Yes!" Xuan Shijing and Li Daozong both bowed their hands in response.
"By the way, where is Gao Huanquan arranged?" His Majesty Li Er asked.
"Back to Your Majesty." The eldest grandson Wuji stood up and said: "Now that Gao Huanquan is arranged in the rear army, he is secretly monitored by the dogs, Your Majesty can rest assured." ”
His Majesty Li Er nodded: "Well, this is very good, it's just that the rear army of our army is in charge of the army's materials, don't let Gao Huanquan contact too much." ”
"Yes." The eldest grandson Wuji responded.
The matter was just that Gao Jianwu died in the hands of Quangai Suwen in advance, and Xuan Shijing would also follow Li Daozong and rush to Liaodong.
Xuan Shijing and Li Daozong came out of the big tent together, this time the vanguard army, Xuan Shijing received the position of a deputy general, all the decision-making power, still in the hands of Li Daozong, at this point, Xuan Shijing has no opinion, on the battlefield, Xuan Shijing is just a rookie egg, with such a deputy general position, it is already the grace of His Majesty Li Er, and this is also an opportunity, with Li Daozong's side, you can learn a lot, this, Your Majesty Li Er knows it in his heart, and Li Daozong also knows it in his heart.
"Lord, in the future, please take care of the prince." Out of the big tent, Xuan Shijing turned around and said to Li Daozong.
"Xuanhou is polite, this king watched the Hou Ye train his troops, and he felt the great talent of the Hou Ye, so let's take care of each other." Li Daozong responded with a smile: "This time, the two of us are both vanguards, and we should work together. ”
"What the prince said is that Xiaohou is just a rookie ear, and I ask the prince for more advice."
"Well said, well said." Li Daozong said with a smile: "In this case, let's order its deployment and set off immediately." ”
"Lord Wang, please." Xuan Shijing stretched out his hand and motioned for Li Daozong to go first.
Xuan Shijing and Li Daozong are not familiar with each other, so it is not a bad thing to be polite, and whether it is seniority or seniority, Li Daozong is also worthy of Xuan Shijing being so modest.
Xuan Shijing returned to the camp and blew the whistle.
"Pack your things! Assemble and go! ”
The three hundred soldiers began to pack their things in an orderly manner, the bedding and pillows were tied, and together with their personal supplies, they were all carried on their shoulders, with a long knife on their waists, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they were neatly assembled in front of Xuan Shijing.
"Tonight, we will join the five thousand soldiers of the King of Jiangxia, as the vanguard army, and rush to Liaodong, the time to really test us has come, tell the general! Do you have the confidence to win the first prize in this war? ”
"Yes! Yes! Yes! ”
"Excellent! Pick up the horses and gather at the gate of the camp to set off! With a wave of his hand, the three hundred soldiers of the palace were disbanded, and the rear army led his horses.
As the vanguard army, the three hundred soldiers on the horse, naturally it can't be the three hundred pack horses brought out by Dongshan County, His Majesty Li Er has issued an order to allocate three hundred war horses for the three hundred soldiers to ride, and the five thousand soldiers led by Li Daozong, those who ride the war horses, are only one thousand, and the remaining four thousand are all foot soldiers.
Soon, five thousand soldiers gathered at the gate of the camp of the army, plus three hundred soldiers from Dongshan County, exactly five thousand three hundred, and after waiting for a few hours, Li Daozong arrived at the gate of the camp with another deputy general.
"The last general, Xuan Shijing, see the former general!" Xuan Shijing dismounted and gave a 10-standard military salute to Li Daozheng. From today on, there will be no more Dongshan Marquis and no Jiangxia King in the army, but only the deputy general Xuan Shijing and the former general Li Daozong.
"Excuse me, the troops led by Vice General Xuan have all expired?" Li Daozong looked at Xuan Shijing and asked.
"Back to the general, the last general led three hundred soldiers, should be three hundred, but the actual number is three hundred, please instruct the general!" Xuan Shijing stood upright, raised his head and responded.
"Okay, go with the army!"
Li Daozong gave an order, the team of more than 5,000 people slowly left the camp, and then began to speed up the march, although the cavalry said that there were war horses, but the speed of the march should also be suppressed, together with the foot soldiers, when the rapid march, the foot soldiers will also throw off the steps and run at the fastest speed.
The march in the middle of the night was the most test of the will of the soldiers, and these more than 5,000 people hurried with the army during the day, and at night they received orders to march urgently, and in the second half of the night, it is not an exaggeration to say that they were sleepy and tired.
For most of the night, there are more than 60 miles of travel, and in a short period of time, the marching distance is almost the same as the marching speed of the army in the daytime, this is the vanguard army!
"Order, everyone, rest in place, take shifts, and the rest of the people, immediately lie down and rest, and set off before dawn!" Li Daozong ordered.
"Yes!" Another lieutenant general got the order and rode a horse and began to give orders in the army, while Xuan Shijing also rode a horse and passed the order to the ears of the three hundred soldiers.
The three hundred soldiers immediately dismounted, took out the prepared food from their bags, ate hastily in cold water, then cut some grass from the side of the road, fed the horses, and then unfolded their bunks, and lay down on the spot to rest.
Another deputy general on duty will arrange it, of course, Xuan Shijing also arranged a few of the three hundred people to participate in the guard, and the two groups of people do not need to be so distinct, since they have joined the vanguard army, they naturally have to contribute.
Since today's daytime, the sandbags on the legs of the three hundred government soldiers have been tied to their legs, and they have not retreated, whether they are riding horses or walking, the government soldiers who are watching the same people are all frightened, and the rapid march is already hard enough, and there are heavy objects tied to the legs, how are these monsters usually trained.
Because he was tired, he slept very deeply, and Xuan Shijing always slept lightly, as soon as the rough man in the army fell asleep, there was a shocking sound of snoring, Xuan Shijing said that he was resting, but he just closed his eyes and relaxed for a while.
The sky showed a little light, and the army was about to set off again, although it was only half a night, but everyone's spirit was more than last night, and after a little bite of bread, the vanguard army once again embarked on the road of marching, and at this speed, it would take about ten days to reach Pingzhou.
