"General Qi, General Zhu, why didn't they come back?" Li You looked at the army behind Qi Jiguang suspiciously, the Qi family army that reinforced Xinhe City this time was less than a thousand, and Zhu Wenda and other generals were nowhere to be seen, so where did these generals and the remaining thousands of troops go?

"They are heading to Taizhou to await the arrival of the Japanese army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Qi Jiguang said confidently, "The Japanese invaded our Ninghai and Xinhe with Xiaobo men and horses, just to divert our army and gather tens of thousands of troops, how could these Japanese invaders be satisfied with small places like Ninghai and Xinhe?" Only Taizhou Mansion is their real purpose. ”

Sure enough, it's Taizhou, is he going to participate in the battle of Taizhou's victory soon? As soon as he thought of this, Li You couldn't help but feel excited, and said in a loud voice, "General Qi must not leave his late life behind this time." ”

"Haha, hasn't Wenyang just fought and had a good time? In that case, let's go to Taizhou with Ben. Qi Jiguang laughed and said, the task of guarding Xinhe City has been completed, Li You doesn't have to stay here anymore, Qi Jiguang readily agreed, and handed over the matter of cleaning the battlefield to the soldiers in Xinhe City, and he took nearly a thousand Qi family soldiers to hurry to Taizhou with dry food.

Halfway through, a messenger came to report that a large group of would-be robbers had been assembled and were heading for Taizhou, and the distance they needed to travel was much closer than Qi Jiguang's, which meant that they were likely to reach Taizhou City before Qi Jiguang.

"Pass my military orders, and the whole army will speed up its march." Qi Jiguang immediately issued an order, and these Yiwu miners, who had been trained under him for more than two years, silently accepted the order and accelerated the pace of marching; According to Qi Jiguang's calculations, these Japanese would arrive outside Taizhou early tomorrow, that is, on April 27, the 40th year of Jiajing, and they must rush to Taizhou and prepare for an attack before the Japanese arrived.

The distance from here to Taizhou is more than 100 miles, if the color has gradually darkened today, Qi Jiguang and his Qi family army must cover a distance of more than 100 miles in this night, which is something that no army in the Ming Dynasty can do at the moment, except for the Qi family army.

Years of mining career in the voluntary mine have trained the strong physique and super endurance of the soldiers of the Qi family's army, and in the Qi's army camp, they have learned to obey and cooperate, if other troops hear such an order, they may mutiny on the spot, because when they drive a hundred miles overnight and then go to fight the enemy, this is definitely looking for death; But these soldiers of the Qi family army didn't say anything, silently clenched the weapons in their hands, and followed their General Qi and walked quickly in the direction of Taizhou.

Qi Jiguang and Li You and other generals did not sit on their horses with their own identities, but dismounted one after another and gave their horses to those soldiers who carried more weight and were weaker, and they took their weapons and strode forward with these ordinary soldiers.

Although this kind of thing has long been accustomed to the Qi family's army, these soldiers are still deeply moved, and the fatigue of Fang Cai gradually dissipated, a new energy filled their bodies, and the pace of these soldiers became more and more brisk.

From the fall of Jin Wuxi to the east rise of the Jade Rabbit, under the illumination of a moth eyebrow moon overhead, the soldiers of the Qi family army followed the faint moonlight to move forward steadily, and the night march was an incredible thing for other Ming soldiers, but they had already done this training many times; The soldiers in the back pulled the soldiers in front, and the soldiers with the sharpest eyes stood at the front of each squad, but at any fork in the road and at dangerous terrain, there were always soldiers holding torches to guide the way, so as to avoid accidents or people taking the wrong road during the march.

Everything was well arranged, and it was obviously not the first time that these soldiers had done such a thing, seeing how skillfully they moved; Because of the nutritional structure, most of the ancient soldiers had night blindness, so other armies rarely had this training, but the Qi family army was different, Qi Jiguang's training has always been based on actual combat, he believes that the battlefield is unpredictable, and there is always a need to prepare for the night march, so this item is not missed in the daily training, and today, this training finally comes in handy.

The speed of marching can easily reflect the combat effectiveness of an army, and the more disciplined and combat-effective the army, the faster their marching speed tends to be, because marching is an important indicator to test the degree of organization and training of an army; In the future, the invincible and invincible great army once ran through the enemy's car with its iron feet many times, creating myths such as flying to capture the Luding Bridge, which is the best case in this regard; And now the Qi family army also shows the same combat effectiveness.

Over hills, over boulders, through narrow paths...... Along the way, Qi Jiguang only occasionally let them rest for a stick of incense to drink water and eat dry food, and the rest of the time they were silently advancing; The hills and dangerous shoals were left behind them, and the hungry wolves, tigers and leopards in the jungle did not dare to provoke such a team, and they retreated one after another, ten miles, twenty miles, fifty miles, eighty miles, and a hundred miles of distance were quickly measured by them with their legs, and soon Taizhou City was close in front of them.

"General, ten miles ahead is Taizhou City." The tanma in front found Qi Jiguang's location by the hazy morning light, "The Japanese are still twenty miles away, and they have not yet arrived in Taizhou, General Zhu and they have just arrived with a large army, and they are resting in Taizhou City." ”

"Well, Zhu Wenda didn't disappoint Ben General." Qi Jiguang smiled with satisfaction, he knew that the victory of this battle was close at hand, and these wouldn't be able to escape.

Hearing that Taizhou was already close at hand, the soldiers of the Qi family army smiled silently, their faces were full of pride, and they traveled a hundred miles overnight.

"The army is hard, General Zhu has already prepared a meal for you in Taizhou City, and the whole army listened to my order, immediately accelerated the attack, and rushed to Taizhou to eat." With an order, the Qi family's army, which had been walking all night, miraculously accelerated the speed of the march again, and finally entered Taizhou City at dawn.

However, they could not rest at this time, because the Japanese were about to attack; After hurriedly eating their meals, these soldiers gathered in front of Qi Jiguang again, ready to listen to his orders to meet the Japanese invaders.

Looking at these more than 4,000 soldiers who walked hundreds of miles overnight but were still full of energy, Qi Jiguang was extremely proud, with such soldiers, what else could a mere widow be afraid of? He and his army were confident of the coming war. (To be continued.) )
