Han Shushu said: "Wei Chenyi, let General Lei go, it is most appropriate, he is stationed in Hexi County, which is only more than 3,000 miles away from the grassland, if he gallops with all his might, he will definitely be able to catch up with Ling Feng in less than half a month." ”

Han Shushu said very reasonably, but Wang Xu was a little worried, although Lei Yan was brave, he might not be able to exterminate Ling Feng, according to Ling Feng's current marching strategy, half a month later, there may be tens of thousands of elephant soldiers, and it is unknown whether Lei Yan's cavalry can win at that time.

However, now apart from Lei Yan being able to rush to the grassland as soon as possible, who else can take on this matter?

"Okay, let Lei Yan go."

Wang Xu made up his mind and said: "Hurry up and go to Hexi, send a message to Lei Yan, lead 50,000 elite horsemen to the grassland, join forces with Zhao Long's troops, and work together to exterminate Ling Feng and capture him back to the court." ”

"No."

From the imperial capital to Hexi, thousands of miles away, even if it is 800 miles expedited, it will take nearly five days to arrive, and there are still several days of travel on the Yangtze River, adding up, when the holy decree arrives, it is already ten days later.

Ten days later, Lei Yan received the holy decree, he did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered 50,000 elite iron cavalry to the north, preparing to pursue Ling Feng, and as for Hexi County, it was garrisoned by his general Quan Jing with troops

"Don't chase it, what about him, how can the infantry chase the elephant soldiers?"

On the grassland, Zhao Long suddenly led the army to stop, and then ordered to camp in place.

"General, then us."

"Don't be anxious, I heard that Lei Yan has already arrived from Hexi County, why don't you let him go and kill Ling Feng, this credit will be given to him."

Zhao Long has now figured it out, the credit of exterminating Ling Feng is not easy to take, rather than being dragged around by the other party, it is better to let someone who has the ability to do it. Lei Yan's subordinates are all elite cavalry, and it is most suitable to serve as a pursuit mission.

"I'm afraid that Lei Yan won't be able to fight Ling Feng, the current Ling Feng is even stronger than three months ago, I heard 1. He had taken in another tribe a few days earlier, and now he had 30,000 men under his command, which should not be underestimated. ”

Zhou Lidao.

Zhao Long said: "Then we can't do anything, if you don't get up, you can't catch up, can these two legs still run over four legs?" ”

"Anyway, I'm not chasing, I'll camp here, and I'll talk about it when Lei Yan comes."

A few days later, Lei Yan's army arrived, and when he came to Zhao Long's camp. Stopped, ready to replenish the supplies and then leave, to be able to march so fast, Lei Yan only brought ten days' food this time, fortunately he rushed to Zhao Long's camp, otherwise he would have been hungry.

"General Lei, you're finally here, please come inside."

"General Zhao, please!"

The two walked into the Chinese military tent. Zhao Long said: "General Lei, you don't know. That kid Ling Feng is too cunning, he doesn't fight with us and the others, he only cares about running for his life, and now that you have 50,000 cavalry, he can't escape. ”

Lei Yan nodded: "Time is pressing, I will leave after replenishing resources." ”

"Not bad, not bad. The soldiers are fast, every day of delay, the enemy may expand the army by thousands, I will open a warehouse now to release grain, I don't know how many days of food the general wants? ”

Lei Yan said: "Ten days is enough!" ”

"Good. I'll get people ready now. ”

Zhao Long waved his hand, and ordered people to go down and prepare, the ten-day food of the 50,000 army is not a small number.

That night, Zhao Long picked up the wind for Lei Yan, and during the banquet, everyone discussed the strategy of entering the army, and finally decided.

Lei Yan, throwing 50,000 troops, plus the 10,000 elite cavalry under Zhao Long, a total of 60,000 elite cavalry, all led by Lei Yan, directly pursued Ling Feng.

In this way, Zhao Long only had 40,000 infantry left, and it was useless for the infantry to stay in the grassland, so Zhao Long decided to lead the army back and enter the city to garrison the wall, first, to prevent Ling Feng from going south to plunder grain and grass, and second, to completely block the enemy on the grassland, even if Lei Yan could not destroy Ling Feng, then Ling Feng would not want to go south.

"General Zhao, goodbye."

"There will be a date later."

The next morning, the two said goodbye outside the camp, after which one went deeper into the prairie, and the other returned the same way.

At this time, in the depths of the grassland, Jiang Yiren was pursuing, but after chasing for a few months, there was no effect at all, but he was tired and half dead, and now, the food and grass are about to be cut off, Jiang Yi thought carefully, and was ready to follow Zhao Long and return the same way, there is no way to do this section, it is good to catch Ling Feng, but without that ability, what can I do?

Now Ling Feng has nearly 30,000 elephant soldiers, not to mention that he can't catch up, even if he catches up, Jiang Yi is not sure to defeat him, don't forget, this is a grassland, a horse and a flat river, elephant soldiers are like cavalry, they can gallop at will, and any infantry who engages them will fall into the disadvantage.

Jiang Yi left, 50,000 people when he came, and still 50,000 people when he left, Lei Yanli ignored Jiang Yi's department, led the army to roar past, and rushed directly to the depths of the grassland.

Compared with the speed of the war horse, it is several times faster, although the two will now gather hundreds of miles, but if they chase with all their might, they can catch up in two days at most!

The cold wind howled, the land was vast, on the grassland, there were more than a dozen camp tents, here, this is Ling Feng's territory at the moment, no, to be exact, it should be said that it is a military camp, because Ling Feng has never thought of occupying any territory, she is now strengthening herself step by step, expanding her forces step by step!

In the past few months, he has expanded his army to 30,000, this number is still a few days ago, I am afraid that there are more now, but of these 30,000 people, only 10,000 are elephant soldiers, the rest are infantry, and many are not armored, and only hold a steel knife in their hands.

Most of the grasslands are herdsmen, and there is no regular army, so weapons and armor are extremely difficult to get, and it can be said that they cannot be obtained, while elephants are all over the grassland, but you must be trained to take things, otherwise you will not be messy on the battlefield.

As for the 5,000 elephant soldiers before, he still trained for three months before he succeeded, and later, although these 5,000 elephants had not undergone formal training, they could barely enter into battle.

Thirty thousand people camped here, and Ling Feng summoned everyone to discuss the matter.

In order to better manage, Ling Feng still renovated the general system, and now it is roughly divided into three parts, one, at the beginning, he took five thousand elephant soldiers, called the vanguard battalion, and the most elite at that time was the sharp ice blade of the army, and in case of war, he would naturally take five thousand people to attack first.

The second part is the later 5,000 elephant soldiers, this unit can't fight a good fight, can't fight a tough battle, in order not to affect the combat effectiveness of the first 5,000 people, Ling Feng put these 5,000 people out separately, led by another general.

The third part is the newly recruited 20,000 infantry, in fact, these 20,000 people are not soldiers, that is, 20,000 herdsmen, most of them only have simple weapons in their hands, just like Wang Xu ten years ago, there are still many people in the army with wooden sticks sharpened with sharp knives, this kind of weapon is too low, and the combat effectiveness can be imagined, Ling Feng divided these 20,000 people into reserves, and did not enter the battle until it was absolutely necessary.

In addition, the military system has been reformed, and it is still distributed in this way as generals, captains, centurions, and ten chiefs, such as Akiro, who is the general under Ling Feng, and Akiro no longer calls Ling Feng the big leader, but the lord, because this is what Ling Feng said, so it is like a real uprising.

At this time, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Ling Feng was holding the map and watching.

"Lord, the enemy has been occupied by us for less than a hundred miles, should we continue to advance, or."

Archiro asked. (To be continued.) )
