Chapter Seventy-Five: The Remnants

Two days later, Fu Jian received news from the spies in front of him that thousands of infantry were slowly approaching a hundred miles away.

"And thousands of troops?"

After Fu Jian's subordinates got the news, one by one, you look at me, I look at you, the three thousand cavalry made them chill, and there were more infantry behind, and the number of soldiers had far exceeded the number of soldiers, how could this battle be fought?

Fu Jian's subordinates have almost 10,000 people, but they are not soldiers! Originally, they were all a group of people, hiding in the mountains because of the flight, thirty percent were women and children, fifty percent were farmers who farmed, and the rest would pick out young and middle-aged people to become soldiers, adding up to only two thousand people, including less than four hundred cavalry, after all, Fu Jian's soldiers were all from nearby homeless people, and there were very few people who could ride on horses without falling, in order to train these people into soldiers who could go to the battlefield, Fu Jian didn't know how much effort he put into it, even so, they couldn't compare with those regular troops, at least they were a little weaker in courage.

However, when Fu Jian heard that there were infantry in the rear, he immediately shouted happily: "Infantry? It turns out that this Wang Ping is stationed here waiting for those infantry, haha, this Wang Ping is really old and confused, the army is most afraid of the soldiers being divided into two ways, and the cavalry goes first, and the infantry is behind, I'm afraid these fools think I don't dare to sneak attack them, just right, I'll taste the fat sent first! ”

"Pass my order, and everyone march in a hurry to meet the infantry tonight."

Fu Jian gave an order, and more than 200 cavalry behind him immediately rushed into the distance.

Hundreds of miles away, the more than 7,000 infantry are marching slowly, these soldiers are not as uniform as the cavalry, most of them are newly recruited recruits, to the army is purely mixed bowl of rice, who would have thought that just arrived in the army was sent to Tianshui, from Chang'an to Tianshui thousands of miles away in addition to those captains and captains on horseback, everyone else has to use their feet to walk, the first five hundred miles are relatively fast, a day can walk seventy or eighty miles, the more tired the more you go, to the end is now to the limit, can only walk forty or fifty miles a day, The tired helmets are crooked, and those who don't know think they are a bunch of deserters.

"Speed up for me, hurry up, hurry up!"

A man on a war horse and wearing the armor of a lieutenant rode a horse, leading the guards to shout around the tired soldiers, but to no avail, the army still marched slowly.

"You bunch of waste, even the march is so slow, you will die on the battlefield!"

This lieutenant can be regarded as the official position of commanding 10,000 people, but no one pays attention to him at this moment, even if he shouts.

"My lord, let's take a break, everyone can take a break with some water!"

At this moment, a young man in a centurion armor walked up to the other party.

This man was no more than twenty-two or three years old, with a large waist and a very strong waist, and a neat body of armor, and the journey of hundreds of miles had no effect on him.

"Captain Wang, they are exhausted, it won't help you to beat them again, it's better to rest here for a while and then leave."

The man said with a fist clenched.

"Huh? Who are you? ”

The lieutenant looked at each other and said.

"The centurion of the villain's left battalion often meets spring."

"Often in spring? The name is good, you look very different from others, you should be a veteran, since you are a veteran, you should know the rules of the army, and you dare to jump out and order me with a little centurion, the courage is really not small. ”

The captain was a general who commanded 10,000 people, and he also belonged to the middle level in the entire Great Zhou army, and a centurion on the other side obviously made him feel shameless when he spoke in front of him like this.

"The villain is also thinking about the adults, even if the march arrives in time, I'm afraid that this military appearance will make General Wang angry, it's better for us to rest and recuperate before leaving!"

Chang Yuchun said calmly without fear.

"Hmph, General Wang? They are all elites, all of them have horses to ride, and you are all waste, and you can only transport grain and grass in the back...... Alas! My Wang Fa can't show his skills! Give me the order, the army will rest on the spot, and then go after two hours! ”

The lieutenant had no choice but to give an order, and his subordinates immediately went down to make arrangements, and the surrounding soldiers stopped as if they were really amnesty, and they all threw down their weapons and collapsed to the ground.

"Brother Chang, this Wang Fa really doesn't know what to do, you want to help him but he was reprimanded, a fool like him can be a captain, and we soldiers will have no good fruit to eat."

A soldier walked behind Chang Yuchun and whispered.

"Alas, there is no way! People are much higher than us, let's take care of our own affairs, let the brothers rest quickly, and wait until we get to Tianshui! ”

Chang Yuchun shook his head slightly.

While the seven thousand soldiers were staggering, two fast horses galloped from far and near, and in a short time they came near.

"That's them, a lot of them! What to do? ”

The two were the spies sent by Fu Jian, and more than two hundred cavalry rushed for more than ten hours to finally find this team of men and horses, and the invisible team made the two spies feel panicked.

"Don't worry, let's go back!"

Without saying a word, the two turned their horses' heads and hurried back.

A few miles away, Fu Jianzheng led the team to rest in a forest, except for the night rest, they were in a hurry, nearly a day to run nearly two hundred miles, even the sitting down of the green horse is a little overwhelmed.

"Big brother, we've found the enemy!"

Two fast horses galloped into the woods, shouting loudly before they could dismount.

"Found out? Where is it? How many people are there? What kind of soldier is it? ”

Everyone jumped up, and Fu Jian asked quickly.

"Just three miles ahead, there were so many people that we couldn't count, it seemed like ......... Infantry, are they resting? ”

"Okay, you two take me to the front to have a look, and the rest of the people will eat something immediately, let the war horse eat more forage, and I'll go back!"

Fu Jian immediately followed the two of them back to the front.

"Sure enough, there is a large army!"

Fu Jian had already guessed that it was very simple, the army went out to fight for grain and grass first, that is, it did not fight, and along the way, thousands of soldiers needed a large amount of food, and the three thousand cavalry did not count horses, just three thousand people would need dozens of loads of grain a day, and from Chang'an to Tianshui, they would have to get two hundred loads.

But these people did not carry grain and grass, at least not enough food and grass to eat for several days, which means that there must be backup, sure enough, there are more infantry here, and in the most central position is the grain truck, although it is not clear how many, but I am afraid that it will be tens of thousands of loads.

"What idiots! Grain and grass are the most important materials for the army, and they need to be protected by heavy troops, so the cavalry of this army ran away first, leaving a group of rabble to follow! ”

Fu Jian saw that these people were all lying on the ground in a formation, and there were no people who were even on guard, and there was a little bit of regular army appearance, which was even more scattered than horse bandits.

"Let's go, let's go back!"

Fu Jian just glanced at it a few times and immediately turned around, and he had already made up his mind in his heart.
