More than 40,000 allied troops and more than 10,000 herdsmen of the Xi tribe who assisted in transporting supplies began to set off from the camp of the Ice Castle to the north on October 18, but it was not until October 25 that the advance of the coalition army had just reached the bank of the Raole River, and the army marched no more than 40 miles a day. The soldiers of the coalition forces, under the command of the officers, did not hurry or delay, and marched according to the marching plan issued by the higher authorities every day. The daily march is a kind of training that the soldiers have long been accustomed to, and everyone treats it as a field training. Every qiē on the march was the same as in the training subjects in the Huaihuang camp, everyone had long been accustomed to it, even if it was marching in the ice and snow, and they were going to fight with the Tiele people, but everyone did not have the slightest nervousness, some were just relaxed.

However, this is a somewhat painful process for those Xi Jun. Whether it was Xi Cai, who had newly expanded into the cavalry battalion, or the more than 10,000 soldiers of the new army who participated in the fifth battalion of the Kumo Xi army, they had to follow the march plan of the Wuzhou Army to carry out a new model that was completely different from the past, and they trained while marching.

The great victory in the battle of Shehechuan greatly boosted the confidence of the Wuzhou army, and the morale was high, and even those Xi soldiers followed one by one to be much stronger. Zhang Jinshuo, the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Reconnaissance Battalion, who was responsible for the leading task of the former army, was riding on a horse, but he did not have much happy expression. Thinking that Wang Fubao had received an order from Yi Shuai himself, he led his regiment of 500 cavalry to go out to reconnoiter and reconnoitre, but he, the commander of the third cavalry battalion, had to take the newly expanded Xi cavalry of the third cavalry battalion of nearly 2,000 people, and had to conduct training in field marching and other subjects while marching. He also had to lead the officers of the former cavalry regiment to teach Chinese characters to these Xi recruits when they were free on the march every day, and he had a headache. And other than that. In the post-war summary report of the last Battle of Shehechuan, he didn't come up with a clue, he led the troops to fight, and he learned very quickly, but this made him write a report, which really embarrassed him. At first, he directly asked the young soldiers in the battalion to help him write it, and as a result, he handed in the report every time. In the end, they were all beaten down, and they were also criticized by Yi Shuai in front of him at yesterday's meeting of senior generals at the battalion level of the Chinese Army. It's a shame. Now, not only does he have to write a summary report of the reconnaissance battalion of the Battle of Shehechuan of no less than 5,000 words, but he also has to write another inspection of no less than 3,000 words, which really kills him.

In the morning, Wang Fubao returned. Also brought back a Khitan cavalry team.

Wang Fubao is now valued by Yi Shuai. I don't take him as a top boss in my eyes at all. After coming back, he still didn't come to the newspaper to meet him first, so he directly took the team of Khitans to Yi Shuai's Chinese army, how can this guy still regard himself as his boss, he is angry when he thinks about it, which makes him occasionally regret it, if he didn't deliberately suppress this guy at the beginning, it is estimated that there will be no such troubles as today.

The Chinese army camp soon came with Yi Shuai's military order. The whole army stopped the front army and stood by on the spot. According to what he heard. The Khitan cavalry brought back by Wang Fubao seems to be the Khitans who came south to ask for help.

This Khitan cavalry squad is the Dahe clan and Xu Deyan and his wife, they went all the way south, and did not encounter any obstacles, yesterday on the Raole River happened to meet the cavalry battalion deputy general Wang Fubao and the cavalry of the 11th Regiment of the third cavalry battalion led by him, after figuring out the identity of the other party, Wang Fubao did not dare to slack off, and immediately took them all the way back.

"Where are the Khitan clan brothers led by Oromo Hofer now?"

In Yi Feng's Chinese army tent, Chen Wan rushed to confirm the identity of Mohui and Xu Deyan. As soon as Xu Deyan and his wife saw Yi Feng, they had immediately confirmed that he was Yuan Hao they adopted back then, six years later, but they could still recognize him immediately, and even the Dahe Clan Mohui immediately recognized that the current Great Sui Changning County Duke, the general, and the governor of Wuzhou, Thorn Shi Yifeng, was the partner on the grassland back then. Seeing that his partner back then was still alive, he was both happy and a little complicated, especially when he saw his beloved girl Awan standing beside Yi Feng. However, thinking of the current predicament of the Ministry of Convenience, he had to temporarily put aside these children's affairs.

"Three days ago, we separated from the tribal convoy and galloped south non-stop." Mo Hui hurriedly said, "Brother Hao, the cavalry of the servant and Bayegu have been following the tribal convoy in hot pursuit, and I ask you to send troops to the rescue immediately." ”

Xu Deyan chatted with Chen Wan just now, and learned that Yi Feng had been injured twice and lost his past memories, and he didn't remember him for a long time. This made him embarrassed, but seeing that an abandoned baby he saved back then has now become a general, he can't help but be happy for Yi Feng in his heart. It's just that what I didn't expect was that the child I saved back then would be the son of Yang Guang, the king of the Jin Dynasty of the Sui Dynasty who destroyed the Chen State.

"In the past three days, we have traveled day and night, speeding up and traveling more than 100 miles every day. I estimate that if the Tiele people have not caught up with the team of the Duluo patriarch, then now we may be about 300 miles away from the Duluo patriarch, and I ask Yi Shuai to send troops to rescue as soon as possible, and the emergency is like fighting a fire. Xu Deyan did not call Yi Feng in front of the generals, but directly called him Yi Shuai.

The distance of three hundred miles made the soldiers in the camp shake their heads a little.

"At the moment, this heavy snow is coming at an untimely time, and our army marches forty or fifty miles a day, and it takes at least six or seven days to march three hundred miles in the snow. Since the Tiele people have been following the whereabouts of the Khitan tribe, they are afraid that before we arrive to respond, the Tiele people have already launched an attack, and they are afraid that it will be difficult to quench their thirst in the distant water. ”

The soldiers have seen their own expressions, but no one proposed to divide the troops and go north to meet them. Although the Khitans said that the two Tiele men had less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, no one was willing to take the risk for the sake of safety. After all, it is freezing and snowy right now, and if you divide your troops to rush to the rescue, in case you fall into an ambush or something, it will be dangerous. After the newly expanded cavalry, there were nearly 10,000 cavalry, but after all, most of them were newly recruited Xi soldiers, and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry not only did not improve in the short term, but decreased a lot. Sending them to the north to compete with the same number of Tiele cavalry, everyone is really not sure. And the infantry and charioteers, marching in such snow, forty or fifty miles a day is already very remarkable. What's more, the soldiers didn't think that the Khitans were worth the risk.

"Marshal, although our army is a newly victorious division, it has just undergone a large-scale expansion, and now it is far away from the familiar area to fight, and in such bad weather, I feel that we must be steady and not take risks in waste." Wei Zheng, who consulted the army, also spoke. The words of the military advisor were not at all unexpected, and let the generals of Wuzhou take this precious army to risk for the Khitans, and everyone would definitely not agree. Ken went north to support the Khitan, and that was only when everyone felt confident.

"Our purpose is to relieve the Khitan brothers, not to put ourselves in danger. I agree with Wei and your participation in the army, we cannot take risks. Otherwise, not only will we not be able to relieve the Khitan, but we will also put ourselves in danger. Yi Feng first set the tone, the snow was flying outside, and the white hair was whistling, but it was very warm in his tent. As for how to rescue the Khitan, Yi Feng made his own decision: "We must save the Khitan, but we can't rush into the risk." At present, it is not appropriate to divide the troops, let alone travel long distances to rescue. Although we annihilated 10,000 Tiele cavalry in the Battle of Shehechuan, this does not mean that we have the strength to completely ignore the Tiele people. ”

"We still have to play to our strengths and play to our strengths. We still have to fight positional battles with the Tiele people like Shehechuan, and fight against them in a group. ”

Yi Feng asked Mo to rush back immediately and tell him about his battle plan.

Two days later, on 27 October, the allied forces reached the banks of the Rao Lok River, and the Mohui hurried to the camp again with good news. Although the servants and Bayegu people launched an attack on the Tara Department three days earlier, the Tara had already prepared, and the Khitans formed a formation with carriages and resisted desperately, and the two sides fought for a day, and the Khitan lost more than 3,000 people, and finally the Tiele people retreated. The Tiele people didn't really retreat, they were still hanging behind, obviously trying to see the opportunity to come up and bite from time to time, and finally wait for the Khitans to collapse, and then pounce on them and swallow them in one fell swoop. However, they did not know that more than 40,000 Wuzhou troops and Xi allied troops had already gone north, and after hearing that Yi Feng's soldiers and horses had moved north along the Raole River, he was very happy and was leading his troops to speed south.

"Sue the patriarch of Sù Luo, we are ready, and when he brings the prey, we will hunt here together!"

Mo Hui took Yi Feng's letter to Duluo into his arms, nodded excitedly, and then turned over and galloped back again.

In the lower reaches of the Raole River, on the ice river that had already frozen, the leaders of the two tribes, Bayegu and Fugu, looked at the black line in front of them from a distance, their eyes full of disdain.

"These Khitans still have some ability, and they have been holding on for so many days." The commander of Bayegu does have some admiration for these Khitans, admiring their tenacity, the Khitan cavalry is not the opponent of the Tiele cavalry at all, but the Khitan people in front of them have been fighting with them with a chariot formation and bows and arrows, just like a vigilant hedgehog, as soon as there is a stir, they immediately form a ball, erecting the long thorns, making people unable to speak. The fierce Tiele knights, in the face of these Khitan car formations, couldn't help but have a headache, they really wanted to attack the car formation, and the opponent's desperate resistance would inevitably bring huge casualties.

"Good food is not afraid of being late!" The leader of the five thousand servant cavalry, Servant Leopard, laughed and said, "Let them escape, where can they run, in this way, it can also increase the pleasure of hunting, isn't it like hunting yellow sheep on the grassland, when they are exhausted, and then watch them panic, the appearance of despair and collapse, isn't it more interesting?" ”

Ba Yeling stroked his beard tied into pigtails, and sneered cruelly, "The sons are ready, just tonight, let's finish these damn ben people early, we have to find out those Khitan cubs who are hiding next, finish sweeping early, let's go back to Mobei early, the weather is getting colder and colder." ”

"According to you, just tonight, take advantage of the night to kill the people in one fell swoop, anyway, we have almost touched their turtle car array these days!" (To be continued......)
