The Xia army of 5,000 elite horsemen, all the way on their backs, went to the northern frontier to resist the Rouran army.

According to intelligence, there are still 800 miles to go from the northern frontier, and it will take at least three days and three nights to reach it on horseback.

In order to improve the speed and reduce the burden, Shangguan Yu ordered the generals to carry ten catties of dry food each, the team did not bring a cooking class, and each post station in front had already flown pigeons in advance to pass the book, ready to drink water and meals, as long as the team arrived, they could immediately eat and drink water, and then set off immediately after a short rest.

The dry food is also used for emergency purposes.

Each trip is about 300 miles or so to camp once, camping is also very simple, each person carries a blanket, after arriving at the ground, the body rolls up and sleeps on the spot, there is no tent, everything is simple, in order to be able to do a fast march.

Due to the late departure today, it was only in the afternoon, so Shangguan Yu ordered the team to hurry up and be sure to travel 300 miles before camping.

On the way to run, Xia Xiaomi asked, "Brother Shangguan, running like this, aren't you afraid of tiring everyone?" ”

Shangguan Yu said: "Marching and fighting, the most important thing is speed, how can you do it if you are afraid of being tired?" I can't use my current frisbee, otherwise I'll be there in one day. ”

Then pass the word, let everyone work harder, and you can rest after 300 miles, and tomorrow the time of a day is also 300 miles, and you can rest more tomorrow.

After all, horses are living creatures, and their speed is no higher than that of modern vehicles, and the longer they run, they will fatigue and their speed will slow down. Therefore, if you run for a long time, the speed is about 20 km/h, and if you run faster, you will get injured and the gains outweigh the losses.

After running for about two hours, and when he encountered the first post station, Shangguan Yu ordered the whole army to immediately dismount and rest, drink water, give the horse micrograss, and continue to set off after resting for 15 minutes.

There were not many people at the post station, and when they saw the arrival of the army, they had already prepared to put the forage and drinking water in the station on the post road outside. Therefore, when the army arrived, with the help of the post staff, they were able to quickly drink water and feed the horses.

This is also the reason why Shangguan Yu only brought 5,000 elite horsemen, if he brought too many people, the post station would not be able to cope with it, and it would inevitably need to carry a large amount of armaments and materials, which would seriously delay the trip.

After a short rest, Shangguan Yu ordered to go down, and he could eat at the next post station, and he had a little longer rest.

It took three hours to go to the second post station, which was in a small town, and because of the lack of manpower, the officials of the post station mobilized the residents of the whole town, made a dinner for a whole 5,000 people, and placed it on the road, waiting for the arrival of the officers and soldiers.

So when Xia Jun was about to arrive in the town, he saw a large area of people waiting in the dark.

When they arrived, the people greeted the soldiers very warmly, eating, drinking, and feeding the horses. I heard that the Xia army was going to resist the Rouran army in order to protect the common people, so these people naturally loved the official army very much.

So dinner was prepared early, so that the army could eat a ready-made meal as soon as it arrived.

Shangguan Yu instructed everyone to eat on the spot, and this time the rest time was extended to half an hour, so that everyone could rest for a while.

When I finished eating, it was still very bright, after all, it was summer, and it was getting dark late, Shangguan Yu asked how long it had been since the crescent moon had been gone.

The crescent moon said, "Sir, we have walked for more than five hours, 110 kilometers. ”

Shangguan Yu muttered: "110 kilometers, that is, 220 miles, that is 80 miles away from today's target task, that is, 40 kilometers, according to the speed of 20 kilometers per hour, we can run for another two hours, then we will rest before eight o'clock in the evening." ”

Shangguan Yu immediately asked the deputy general to give the order to go, run for another two hours, and then you can camp, and you can rest until tomorrow morning. The generals were already very tired, and they were a little relieved when they heard the news.

Due to the long journey, some of the horses were replaced by the horses prepared by the inn.

The post station could not cope with a large number of troops, so there were only a dozen horses prepared, but in line with the principle of how many could be exchanged, more than a dozen batches were also changed.

After eating, resting a little, and continuing to march, this time running non-stop for two hours, came to a post station, at this moment it was already dark, and the post station staff had already gathered the nearby villagers to prepare hot soup, supper, forage and firewood.

Although it was summer, the night in the north was still relatively cold, so outside the post station, dozens of bonfires were set up, and each bonfire surrounded seventy or eighty soldiers to keep warm. And arrange to stand guard and be on guard.

Shangguan Yu walked for a long time, and he was also very tired, so he found a flat place, put down the blanket, and was about to sleep, Xia Xiaoxiao also came to his side, put down the blanket, and prepared to sleep beside him.

Shangguan Yu asked, "Men and women don't kiss, don't you sleep with me." ”

Xia Xiaomi: "I'm a little brat, you can ignore this." ”

"You...... I can't help you. Shangguan Yu didn't say more, lay down and rested, and let her go.

Xia Mi lay down beside her, looked up at the planets in the sky, and sighed. Shangguan Yu pretended to be asleep and ignored her, Xia Xiaomi said: "I don't know how Sister Ran Ran, Sister Saina, Alice, and those two stick girls are doing now." ”

Shangguan still ignored her, so Xia Xiaomi stabbed him with his arm and asked, "Don't you want them?" ”

Shangguan Yu opened his eyes and said, "What's the use of thinking, we can't go back now, as well as Sister Dongfang, Brother Chen, Big Brother Flying Camel, and Little Iron Ball, and whether they have found Megala." ”

At this moment, Shangguan Yu didn't know that not long after they teleported, Chen Zhiyan was sacrificed.

"Actually, here, I think it's pretty good," Xia Xiaomi said.

"What a fart, if we are to be locked up here for the rest of our lives, hum ......"

"What's wrong?"

"I'm going to get old, I'm going to die, then the mission fails, the game is over, and the whole planet, bang, can't be restarted again."

"Ah......" Xia Mi stumbled, "Then let's go back." ”

"Go back? It's easier said than done, but you can find a way to get us back. ”

"I can't help it."

Shangguan Yu looked back at Xia Xiaomi, and then roared at the sky: "Dark night, I know what you want to do!" ”

Xia Xiaomi asked, "Do you know what he wants to do?" ”

Shangguan Yu said: "He didn't let us go back, it couldn't be that we wanted us to complete some side quests in the process of this game, in this side quest, there may be a super boss appearing, and it may be that the dark night wants us to ...... in this world"

Shangguan Yu didn't say anything about this, Xia Xiaomi asked, "What are you doing in this world?" ”

Shangguan Yu snorted coldly and said, "Don't say it, you don't understand it." ”

"Say, must say, I want to listen!"
