The latter news indicates that the matter of the imperial court's attack on Tibet should be over, and the various armies sent to the front line are likely to return to their own families and find their own mothers, such as the central army in Luoyang, and the Zhichongfu army will return to the local area, and be disbanded and returned to the peasants. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In this case, the previous news was very violent, and the soldiers of Zhichong Prefecture in Songyang County were the first troops to receive orders to fight in Goguryeo on the front line of the attack on Tibet, which really made the leaders of the belligerent armies of all walks of life envious.

They also have a way, but they are not well-informed enough to operate, and the soldiers of Songyang County are ready to go!

Feng Xiaobao gritted his teeth and used a large amount of money to buy 2,000 horses!

Although the horses in Liangzhou and Shanzhou were cheaper, and the Tang family discounted them, they were also sold off (that is, those troops who were ready to return home did not use horses to sell), but they still used up his 50,000 yuan, which was really painful.

In this way, with the previous horses, the cavalry has one person and three horses, and the infantry and baggage are all one person and two horses, which is so extravagant that it is simply scolded as a loser.

Fight the horse, drive!

The brigade left Shanzhou and rushed to Goguryeo, which was a matter of April.

Before leaving, he went to Liangzhou to see Tang Tian, and the two said goodbye.

The bearded girl Tang Yumei, Feng Xiaobao dressed her as a man and brought in two hundred mixed soldiers, not only her, but also two Tang Tian's maidservants, both of whom could shoot arrows and fight, and follow Tang Yumei.

……

So many cavalry were dispatched, and from west to east, across the Tang Dynasty, to Goguryeo on the coast of the East China Sea, a total distance of 6,000 miles!

Such a long road is very easy to cause trouble, Feng Xiaobao asked the troops to play more military flags, marked with the words Goguryeo in Songyang County, and wear the clothes and armor of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, all military horses have the brand of the Tang Army, and the former army guides and transactions are handled by the Tang people, send people to the front station, and communicate with the local government that it is the army transit, so as not to cause misunderstandings.

"Long-distance training!" Feng Xiaobao is also inexperienced, but fortunately there are veteran officers in his army, who make good use of horsepower, not only maximizing the speed of the horses but also trying to avoid hurting the horses.

Hundreds of miles in a day!

If people walk, the speed is five kilometers per hour, and the rapid march is eight kilometers, but that is the speed, and it will not work for a long time, such as the average speed of the Tian/Korean Volunteers in North Korea interspersed with Sanshori rapid marching is 7.2 kilometers per hour, while the Mongolian cavalry advances dozens of kilometers a day on average.

This is the average speed of the brigade, it is not easy, there are no roads in that period, the so-called official roads are often dirt roads, dirt roads that have been walked by, uneven dirt roads, better stone roads, roads near big cities are slightly better and like a road, and the roads in small cities are far worse (even if the roads before the reform and opening up of the Tian/Dynasty are still very backward), and they will ride on grasslands, woodlands, deserts, etc., bad roads, crossing rivers and all other terrain that you can imagine or imagine.

I was able to travel hundreds of miles a day, but fortunately it was at the border of my country, and the logistical pressure was not great, so I only brought a small amount of grain and grass, and supplies could be obtained from the city, especially horse food, and even horses from the city.

Wherever they passed, like locusts passing through the border, they ate up everything.

The horses chewed and the people ate and bought everything on the road, and the people made a big business.

First rejoicing, then cursing ... After they left, nearly 10,000 horses' hooves ravaged the already bad ground, and it was difficult to cross from the other side of the street. (Muddy Road)

It was Guo Xingsan's turn to show his skills, he was responsible for hitting the front station, communicating with the government, getting supplies from local warehouses, paying attention to supplying drinking water, and playing the role of a "service station"!

Jing Dongling was also with him, he wanted to arrange the route of the army, although he was an old officer, but he had really never tried such a long-distance training.

The reserve team entrusted Fan Wuxian, who mainly used a large carriage to contain the fallen officers and soldiers.

The road is very difficult to walk, and the rivers of this period are far from being conquered by humans, there are many rivers and no bridges!

At the turn of spring and summer, the river rises and floods, and the transition is anxious, many small rivers cross directly, and sometimes some weak sergeants wash away the water, and then they have to rush to the rescue, and some have to be busy.

We are an army training, not a spring outing for the people, carrying heavy weapons and equipment, so we must pay attention to the storage of equipment, and we also have to carry out confrontation drills, night marches and other subjects on the way.

As commanders, they have to march on horseback, the same hardship, the sergeant arrived at the camping point, ate and raised the horses, and fell asleep, and the commander also had to discuss the direction of the journey, design the drill subjects, and organize the implementation the next day, both physically and mentally hard.

Feng Xiaobao is monster-level physical strength, and it has also made people lose weight, and he feels that the second world has had enough of all his crimes!

Think about the logistics of Midi, people get on the Boeing with clean hands and feet, and after arriving at the destination, they go to get the equipment, what about us, covered in water and mud, covered in sour, damn magistrates, what the hell did they make the local roads look like!

He misses highways, planes, cars, trains...... A loud cry was raised: "I want railway soldiers, engineering soldiers!" ”

What is a Railroad Soldier? Is it a new class?

Siege soldiers? Boss, we're on the march, we're going to siege the city?

……

There is no way forward!

They are now marching mightily on the road of Chang'an ---- Luoyang, the best official road, but I didn't expect the robbers on the road to dig the road into a ditch, and declare that the money to buy the road is consistent, and the conscience price guarantees that you don't have to pay a copper plate when you go to Luoyang.

One person is consistent, 1,800 soldiers in Songyang Zhichong Mansion is 1,800 yuan, worthy of being a robber in the imperial capital, even the officers and soldiers dare to extort, the extortion is justified, and there is an imperial capital price, which will lose the face of your officers and soldiers.

Blackmailing officers and soldiers is a hair, and robbers dare to reach out to the emperor and ask for money!

Emperor Gaozong went to Luoyang from Chang'an one year, afraid of blackmailing the robbers, so he specially found out the eldest brother of a robber who was caught from the prison and loaded it in a carriage to open the road.

Feng Xiaobao didn't feel anything about this kind of car bandit road rage before, when he traveled alone with arrows and bows, the robbers really didn't dare to provoke him, they were afraid that he was crossing the river, he would run away, shoot arrows and hide home, and the robbers went to the government to go to sea to catch papers?

When something happens to him on the head, the first impulse is to give them an arrow through the heart.

However, seeing the lazy appearance of the robbers, a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, you come to bite me, he can only hold back his anger and ask others to come forward to negotiate!

The fight is happy, but after the fight, I am afraid that the bullet will fly to the court like snowflakes, and impeach Feng Xiaobao for not being lenient enough and disregarding people's lives!

At present, the only way to spend money to eliminate the disaster is to go into battle together, with Guo Shengsan, Yang Chengxian, and Jing Dongling jointly bargaining, wheel warfare, spending all saliva, both soft and hard, and finally it is appropriate.

Yang Chengxian came back and said with a tired look: "Two hundred yuan for one person!" ”

It's really good business, three hundred and sixty times into the account.

"I'm going to kill them!" Feng Xiaobao gritted his teeth and said: "Draw their images, and I will raid their homes in the future!" ”

"Order!" Feng Xiaobao has everyone in the army, no, a guy quickly drew their portraits and kept them useful.

Everything happened on the road, and today five horses broke their feet, and there were too many potholes in the road; The day after tomorrow, two people fell from their horses and were seriously injured; The day after tomorrow when he was camping, he stole three horses! Why didn't he steal their heads! Then there are those who have lost their weapons during the march, some people have fallen and injured themselves while climbing the mountain, and some people are so tired that they fall into the water while walking......

However, if you can persevere, it is a great test of will, willpower is a kind of patience, perseverance when encountering difficulties and setbacks, and solve problems! Without a tenacious will, it will be in vain.

Feng Xiaobao and these newcomers felt that the long-distance training was very hard and they were tormented in hell, while Fan Wuxian, these veterans thought that they were marching in heaven.

"We have food all the way, there is no shortage of supplies, there is no need to fight, there is no enemy watching you all the time, wanting to fight you, taking your life, there are no residents with malicious intentions towards you, what's so bad?"

Fan Wuxian's words made everyone speechless, and he also praised the great role of the army's military band (art troupe), they worked tirelessly, in the march, playing allegro, playing Xiao flute, playing drums and trumpets in the camp, the troops sang all the way from time to time under their drive, and the morale was far better than the previous army march, and the marching speed was also faster than the previous army march, even the central army was not as good as us!

In early July, the soldiers of Songyang County arrived at Andong (Dandong) on the Yalu River, already in rags, black and thin as iron, and everyone's eyes were burning with a flame, ready to vent all the bird anger received on the road to the heads of the Goguryeo people.

Just when they were about to make a big move, their leader, Captain Feng Xiaobao, was arrested by the imperial court! (To be continued.) )
