Chapter 846: March

There are 40,000 people who participated in the oath in Baishi Pass, and in fact, less than 30,000 people went out of the pass with Yan Liqiang, because among the people who participated in the oath, there were the defenders of Baishi Pass, and these defenders were led by Tie Yunshan and sat in Baishi Pass, not only to ensure the safety of Baishi Pass, but also to be responsible for the logistics and supply of Yan Liqiang's army.

The soldiers and horses led by Yan Liqiang, in addition to the 17,000 Dragon Tooth Army, also had 10,000 cavalry of the Ganzhou Army supported by Lei Sitong, a total of 27,000 people.

Among the 17,000 people in the Dragon Tooth Army, Yan Liqiang single-handedly built about 12,500 men and horses of the archers, divided into five battalions, Yan Liqiang personally served as the chief general of the two battalions, Shi Changfeng, Shen Teng, and Shi Dafeng each led a battalion, and the elite cultivated by the entire archery club almost poured out of the nest, and these 12,500 people were also the result of Yan Liqiang's painstaking efforts in the past few years after returning to Ganzhou.

There are 5,000 people in the Longya Army, which is the team of the former Pingxi County Cavalry Battalion, formed after a survival of the fittest and strict training, these two battalions are the traditional cavalry in the northwest, the main weapons are long weapons such as cavalry spears and long knives, the commanders of these two battalions are also appointed by Yan Liqiang personally, one is Wang Naiwu, and the other is Gong Tieshan, these two people are fierce generals in the Qiyun County Army, among which Gong Tieshan is Yan Liqiang's old acquaintance, Gong Tieshan is the same as Tieyun Mountain stationed in Baishiguan, in the Qiyun County Army, not only the qualifications are old, but also the name is somewhat the same, so it is nicknamed the two in the Dragon Tooth Army by the lieutenant colonel"Iron Mountain", but one of these two iron mountains is stationed at Baishi Pass, making it difficult for the Shatu people to surpass Lei Chi, and there is also an iron mountain, which is too large and heavy, and ordinary three or five big men can hardly lift it.

The cavalry of the Ganzhou Army was led by Zhao Dachuan and was divided into four battalions, Zhao Dachuan himself led one battalion, and the battalion generals of the other three battalions were also subordinates of Zhao Dachuan, who were brave and brave.

Yan Liqiang also learned after leaving the customs that one of the battalion commanders of the three battalions under Zhao Dachuan was Captain Lei Mengyingyang, who was actually Lei Sitong's own nephew.

Led less than 30,000 soldiers and horses actually wanted to collect the retro wave grassland, in the past, if someone heard such rumors, they would definitely think it was a joke, because this is completely impossible, even just four months ago, a cadre in Qiyun County thought that this was an impossible task, but now, no one thought so, because as soon as Yan Liqiang and them came out, the people and horses around Yan Liqiang's army were like snowballs, rolling bigger and bigger, rolling more and more, within a radius of seventy or eighty miles, the number of rangers gathered, as well as various militia groups that entered the Gulang grassland to make a fortune, exceeded 100,000。

Those rangers and militia militia soldiers wandered around the front and back of Yan Liqiang's army, starting from Baishi Pass, Yan Liqiang and their army walked, those people followed, Yan Liqiang their army stopped, those people also stopped, with Yan Liqiang and their army as the core, within a hundred miles along the way, Yan Liqiang didn't even need to send any scouts, as long as there was any wind and grass, as long as the enemy was found, those rangers and the like would immediately pounce on the head and grab the head, if the head really couldn't be grabbed, then someone would quickly respond to the situation to the army led by Yan Liqiang。

The fire-eyed golden eagle shrouded the head of Yan Liqiang's army like a high-altitude satellite, keeping an eye on the situation in all directions, and Yan Liqiang's army was surrounded by more than 100,000 people from all walks of life like marching ants.

Yan Liqiang and they marched two hundred miles on the grassland every day, unhurriedly, for seven consecutive days, all the way, they didn't encounter half of the Shatu people, it was like organizing a trip to the grassland, which made Wang Naiwu, Gong Tieshan, Zhao Dachuan, Lei Meng and others who were bent on cutting off their heads so anxious that they wanted to scold their mothers.

But in the face of such a situation, those who are in a hurry have no way, this time, Yan Liqiang's first target is the Shatu Seven, but the Shatu Seven are gathered around Xingxing Lake, the past two months, the scattered small and medium-sized tribes in the Shatu Seven, those who survived, have been evacuated to the Xingxing Lake area to gather, now on the Gulang grassland, if you want to find a few lone Shatu people, it is even more difficult than finding gold characters in the sand, the movement of Yan Liqiang's strong army, for the people of the Shatu Seven Division, is naturally nervous and concerned, the Shatu Seven has also sent a lot of reconnaissance teams, but those reconnaissance teams have not yet met the side of Yan Liqiang's army, the head became a sought-after commodity, and was picked up by the rangers and militias gathered around Yan Liqiang's army.

For seven consecutive days, Wang Naiwu, Gong Tieshan, Zhao Dachuan, Lei Meng and others only heard that some of the rangers had cut off the heads of the Shatu people how many kilometers in front of them, and that the boss led his brothers to ambush a team of Shatu scouts and the like, they were all gearing up, but they couldn't even touch a single hair of the Shatu people, and in the end, what was left for the 27,000 army was at most only some corpses and blood stains on the ground that remained after the battle。

Only Yan Liqiang, the more he goes, the more he is mentally determined, and he is calm.

At noon on the eighth day, Yan Liqiang's "army" finally arrived more than 500 miles away from Xingxing Lake, and it was here that Yan Liqiang and their first encounter with the "army" sent by the Shatu Seventh Division......

It is said that it is a "big army", the number of people is actually not much, at least it is much less than Yan Liqiang expected, only 40,000 horses, when this "big army" is still more than 300 miles away from Yan Liqiang, Yan Liqiang already knows that this army is rushing towards his team, and when the distance is more than 100 miles, Yan Liqiang has already received the news of the scouts in the army. 's whereabouts were completely grasped, and almost every two or three minutes, news came from the "army" of the Shaturists.

Because there were too many of them and they were violent, the scattered teams of the rangers and militia groups along the way could only avoid them except for harassing them, and they didn't dare to bump into them, and the "army" of the Shatu Seven Divisions viciously pounced on Yan Liqiang.

"The Shatu people have sent us heads...... Yan Liqiang, who heard the news, smiled slightly, and said to the left and right, just when everyone was gearing up, thinking that Yan Liqiang would let the army rush towards the Shatu people to kill the last one, Yan Liqiang then gave an order, "All the horses stop on the spot, rest for an hour, eat something, drink some water, and then we will go on the road again......"
