Chapter 674: What is this woman going to do?
After a short time, the scout rushed forward and quickly rolled his saddle and dismounted, and then stood straight up and saluted me. "The second lieutenant of the second reconnaissance battalion of the Ninth Army has seen His Majesty the Emperor."
"How's it going? Are there any movements in those Tuguhun barbarians? I nodded kindly at the second lieutenant of the reconnaissance battalion, and asked.
"This subordinate doesn't know very well, his subordinate has been ordered by Her Royal Highness the Empress to reconnoiter the situation of the hundred miles around the camp for two days." The second lieutenant said with a confused expression.
"Then how far is it from the big camp?" I could only roll my eyes helplessly and quickly asked.
"Your Majesty, it's about seventy miles from the camp." The second lieutenant replied quickly.
"Okay, you continue to be busy with yours, send an order to the whole army, there are still seventy miles, and then give me a good boost and rush to the camp!" I nodded with satisfaction, and then commanded Li Yuanfang.
The more than 10,000 horsemen, who were already physically and mentally exhausted, began to cheer up again, and continued to gallop forward.
Finally arrived at the camp, Pei Yuanqing led a group of generals to stand at the gate of the camp with a sad face, and after seeing this son riding a horse and approaching, he bowed down directly, and my heart couldn't help but stop.
"Pei Yuanqing, what's going on, where are the three ladies and the Xuanba virtuous brothers?" I rolled over and jumped off my horse, shouting as I strode toward them.
"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Empress, General Han and General Xuanba led the cavalry to leave yesterday night." Pei Yuanqing stood up, looking depressed and sad.
What do you want to do? Ben Gongzi was so angry that the horsewhip fell to the ground. "What the hell is going on, tell me clearly. Where did they go?! ”
The thing is very simple, after the sixth sense of the Yaoguang girl sensed that something was wrong, she ordered the army to camp in this mountain recess, and then began to send more scouts, and finally discovered Murong Fuyun's conspiracy, with 50,000 troops in the Ming and 50,000 elite cavalry in the dark, it is to want to swallow the Huaxia Revival Army in Xijun alive, as long as it occupies this place, it is equivalent to cutting off the control of my Huaxia Revival Army over the passage of the Western Regions.
After learning the news, the Yaoguang girl not only did not be afraid, but became excited, because nearly half of the Tuyuhun army was here, and on the back road, that is, the original county of Xihai County, Zhiweiding City, is now called Fuhei City by the Tuyuhun people.
Xihai County was occupied by Tuyuhun at the end of the fourteenth year of Daye, that is, the year when Yang Guang was a fart, and it has been almost four years now. And because Weiding City guards the main road between the West Sea and Xianchi, it was regarded by the Tuyuhun people as a base camp and outpost for invading Longxi.
This time, the Tuyuhun army went eastward, and Weiding City, an important fortress operated by the Tuyuhun people for several years, became a concentration of their baggage and equipment, and it was the only supply point for the Tuyuhun people to retreat to their own territory, more than 1,000 miles away.
As long as they hold this place, there are only two ways for the Tuyuhun people to return to their own territory, either they can storm and recapture Weiding City, or they can only detour five or six hundred miles more from the south of the West Sea. As for why not to detour to the north, because the north is a vast and boundless swamp, and if you want to pass through here, even the common people who live here, after entering it, want to come out. What's more, the army is tens of thousands or even 100,000 people, if you want to get in, you can still crawl out alive and still have one-fifth left, that is, God bless.
It is precisely because of such a unique defensive advantage, coupled with the fact that the Tuyuhun people decided the battle of Tuyuhun and the battle, and all the troops located in the north of Tuyuhun were transferred out, and the defenders of Weiding City were less than 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled.
But the problem is that Murong Fuyun is on the shore of the West Sea, and the 50,000 cavalry are cruising at the intersection of Xihai County, Heyuan County and Xiping County. In other words, if you want to copy the back road, you have to pass these two levels first.
And my mother-in-law, my annoying and annoying mother-in-law, after receiving the plan of this son-in-law to copy Murong Daxi's back road, and also told her that my son-in-law would personally lead this victorious army to Xiping County to join her, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration and decided to lead the troops to copy the back road of the Tuyuhun people.
The strength of one army, two divisions, and one cavalry regiment of the Praetorian Guard is just over 50,000, and here, the total number of cavalry is added together, but it is just over 13,000, and the Yaoguang girl decided to rely on this bit of soldiers and horses to go, but how to get to Weiding City has become the biggest difficulty.
The Yaoguang girl was having a headache, but God twisted her ass and threw out a first aid charm. At that time, there was a nomad who lived here who joined the army and became a good cavalry captain of the Chinese Empire's Revival Army, this guy once proudly said that he knew that there was a road along the huge swamp, bypassing the salty pond, and directly to the city of Weiding.
In this way, you can completely avoid those Tuyuhun troops, and this guy's words happened to be heard by one of the guards of the Yaoguang girl, and then, this guy was brought to the Yaoguang girl, and it only took less than half a day, and after going to explore the road with the knight chief, the Yaoguang girl decided to do it.
Ignoring the pleading of Pei Yuanqing, Han Shige and others, the Yaoguang girl was very quick and almost gathered all the cavalry and war horses together, leaving only two cavalry reconnaissance battalions for the unlucky Pei Renji, and then took the local cavalry captain as a guide and went straight to the north.
Seeing that it was difficult to reverse my mother-in-law's order, Han Shige gritted his teeth and volunteered to be the vanguard, but my mother-in-law could only let the commander of the first army be the forward commander of the sneak attack force on the scale of this cavalry division.
Pei Yuanqing also wanted to go, but Han Shige, a despicable and shameless guy, moved Yaoguang with a clever tongue, threw Pei Yuanqing in place and continued to lead the army to confront the Tuyuhun army.
In addition, he also left a death order, so that Pei Yuanqing's army should stay in place and not go out to provoke the Tuyuhun army until the arrival of the army led by Ben Gongzi.
"You, you bastard boy, why don't you go, Her Royal Highness the Queen is willing to take risks, as a subordinate, why don't you go?!" Rest assured, he threw the infantry brigade to the deputy general, and Pei Renji, who came in a hurry, almost exploded, pointing at Pei Yuanqing's nose and scolding.
Pei Yuanqing cried with a sad face: "Father, of course my son asked Her Royal Highness the Empress for a decree, but Her Royal Highness the Empress was stunned and did not allow it, she had to go in person, saying that she was herself to make a decision, and she would not be as reckless as a child." ”
Hearing this, Ben Gongzi couldn't help but roll his eyes, this girl, I'm embarrassed to say that others are reckless, in my eyes, the number one daredevils in the world are none other than her. Besides, Pei Yuanqing is also a victim and an unlucky ghost, I don't know the temper of Yaoguang, if I really want to do something, even if there are nine cows, I can't pull it back.
Thinking of this, I smiled bitterly and waved my hand at Pei Renji. "Okay, General Pei don't blame him anymore, even Brother Shifu can't persuade the queen, let alone Brother Yuanqing. Now that the matter has happened, it is not the time to hold accountable, but to see how it should be resolved. ”
After I straightened out my thoughts, I asked Pei Yuanqing, who was still depressed, "Yuanqing, how far is the swamp in the north from here in Daying?" How big is the range? ”
"Your Majesty, this swamp is vast, almost the size of Xiping County." Pei Yuanqing replied honestly.
Hearing this answer, Ben Gongzi couldn't help but take a breath, damn, it seems that it is impossible to think that Yaoguang will bypass the swamp, such a large piece of land, it is definitely as big as four or five West Seas, such a large piece of territory, if you want to go around, it is impossible without ten days of effort, but, according to Yaoguang's combat ideas and ideas, it took ten days of hard work to go around. Or copy a shortcut that only takes two days to pass, and she will definitely choose the closest.
I reached out and pressed my furlen brow, trying to calm myself down. "In this way, among your subordinates, there are still people who used to live in this area and are familiar with this swamp, if there is, go and pass it on, I have something to ask."
"No! The minister will go. Pei Yuanqing crawled out of the ground under his father's fire-breathing gaze, and the big tent was deserted. Several ministers wanted to speak, but seeing Ben Gongzi squatting behind the desk with a cold face and not squeaking, these guys shrunk their necks and didn't dare to say more.
After waiting for more than half an hour, when my son was already impatient, Pei Yuanqing finally brought two nomadic soldiers with red faces and hairy beards who were transferred to the Chinese Rejuvenation Army.
Both were cavalrymen of the reconnaissance battalion. It's from the same small tribe as the buddy who led my mother-in-law. And that small tribe has now migrated to Xiping County because of the attack of the Tuyuhun people.
This small tribe originally did not belong to the Tuyuhun people, but to the Turkic people, so the Tuyuhun people launched an invasion war, and naturally they would not let go of these small tribes of foreign races. Either be annexed or exterminated.
After inquiring with these two brothers, I learned that there is indeed such a way. Or rather, this road was accidentally discovered by the guide who showed my mother-in-law the way, the buddy's name was Turhan, who was at most about thirteen years old, went to play on the edge of the swamp, rode a horse on the edge of the swamp to shoot small animals, but met a hare, the hare that was shot rushed into the swamp in a panic, and saw that the prey was about to flee Turhan ghost sent the god to follow the unlucky wild shot deep into the swamp.
After catching the hare, which had run powerlessly or had fallen dead after its blood had dried up, it was only at the age of thirteen that Turhan realized his predicament. In desperation, Turhan gritted his teeth and leaned on the bow and arrow in his hand, and an old horse, and it took him a full seven days to get out of the swamp, and after getting out of the lu, Turhan found that he had walked less than twenty miles away from Weining City.
After that, this guy was bold enough, and he walked back and forth several times, and also told the friends in the tribe, such as these two buddies, the problem is that he is willing to play with his life, it does not mean that others are willing to play with his life.
