716 Envy of others
This Zhao Gongtang, it seems that this Chu Kuohai is a little difficult to deal with.
Chu Kuohai's words were a little unpleasant, and Zhao Gongtang didn't let it go at all.
"Haven't we dealt with the 10,000-word army before? It's just a bunch of bandits gathered together. ”
"They went on an expedition just to come and grab a handful, and when they hit Huluohai, they were already at the end of their crossbows."
"How can we watch them break through the pass of Baiyun Mountain and enter the Handa Grassland?"
"Even the Esra Wilderness shouldn't let them pass, my idea is to keep them out of the Baiyun Mountain Pass."
"Raise these bitches, die of thirst and starvation outside Baiyun Mountain!"
Zhao Gongtang's words quickly ignited the passion in the conference hall.
The city lords of several inconspicuous small city-states echoed at this time.
"Yes, these 10,000-character troops should be blocked outside the Baiyun Mountain Pass."
"Yes, starve them to death outside Huluo, haha, that place is a desert......"
A group of people were chattering, and Chu Kuohai stopped talking at this time.
On the other side, Tian Kai from Songzhou was silent, and Liu Han from Dongzhou, who Yang Yinuan paid attention to, also did not speak from the beginning of the meeting.
"Well, I've pretty much the same situation as you've introduced. Next, I want to say that tomorrow we will leave camp. ”
"There are still twenty days until September 15, and we can rush to Xiguan before the deadline anyway."
"Haha, then it's up to you in Qingshan City."
Chu Kuohai, Yanzhou, suddenly said with a smile at this time, Zhao Gongtang's face darkened, but he didn't say anything.
Yang Yinuan, who has been watching from the sidelines, can also see at this moment that the sixteen cities of Yanyun are obviously not as united as they imagined!
The meeting went on for a while, but then it was all trivial.
For example, how much grain and grass should be produced in Qingshan City, or how many horses and so on.
Anyway, everyone wants to take advantage, and Yang Yi's warm brain hurts for a while.
It was not easy to survive until the end of the meeting, and he even ejected himself directly and fled back to his camp.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, there were bursts of drumming in the direction of the tiger's mouth.
Yang Yinuan was woken up and couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and walked out of the camp.
When I looked outside, it turned out that the gate of the fortress was wide open, and at this moment a group of sergeants came out of it.
It turned out to be a coalition army from the eight eastern states, and it was ......
And from the direction of the walled gate, a group of fast horses also galloped, and soon rushed to the front of their camp.
Inform them that the army has been marched, and follow Zhao Gongtang's orders, let them follow behind the army.
Yang Yinuan is naturally nothing to be embarrassed about.
Everyone had already been pulled out, and he also ordered that the leader of the gang should start preparing breakfast, and after a while, the whole battalion of soldiers would get up for breakfast.
After eating, I also opened the ......
On the grassland, a large group of men and horses, from far and near, slowly moved westward.
If you look down from the air, you can find that this long procession stretches for miles...
In front of and behind the procession, fast horses were constantly galloping by.
This is already the eighth day that Yang Yinuan and the others have followed the army of the Eastern Eight Prefectures and penetrated deep into the Handa grassland.
In the past eight days, Yang Yinuan has realized the enormity of this Handa grassland for the first time.
After eight days of walking, I was only halfway there.
This is still the case most of the time, when they use forced marches.
That's right, the whole team has been marching at high speed, and the reason why this is possible is entirely because there is no shortage of horses in this world.
Most of the armies of the eight eastern states were composed of cavalry.
Probably, these were not professional cavalrymen, and were not good at fighting on horseback, but could only be regarded as infantry on horseback.
But with war horses, the speed of their march can be guaranteed.
And having a large number of war horses also ensured that they could carry a large amount of provisions.
And these days, the only thing that makes everyone feel different may be the army of the Zhao family in Qingshan City, as well as the Qianshan army behind.
The Zhao family army in Qingshan City, what surprised everyone the most was that there were many strange cars in their army.
These vehicles are a two-wheeled configuration, and many soldiers ride these two-wheeled vehicles, speeding across the grassland.
This made the armies of the other city-states feel very new to see, but they soon realized the benefits of this two-wheeler.
Although they were not short of military horses, it was also based on the fact that they had to pay a high price every year to buy military horses from the Iron City, or from the grassland tribes.
And both of these families have evil intentions, and the horses they sell them are of very average quality.
There are even some who simply fanned horses, and although these horses were of good quality, they were unable to reproduce.
Therefore, in order to maintain the number of war horses, they have to buy military horses from the grassland year after year.
And most of the horses bought are only suitable for pack horses, as for war horses, then don't think about it.
And even pack horses, with a large team of horses, the cost is not small.
For example, in this expedition, in order to ensure mobility, almost all the soldiers were equipped with pack horses.
But these pack horses, every day people eat horses and chew horses, it also costs a huge amount of money.
This makes these city-states feel the pressure doubled, and it would be better to say if they won the western expedition this time.
Everyone can get a lot of spoils, but if they lose......
The consequences are unimaginable!
And this Zhao family, this time, actually equipped their soldiers with thousands of bicycles, which is much more economical than raising pack horses.
The soldiers of other city-states could see these people on two-wheeled vehicles speeding across the grassland every day.
Although sometimes people get tired, they will let two people ride alternately.
When one person gets tired of riding, he continues to ride with another person.
People who are tired go horseback riding, and in this way, a lot of pack horses are saved, and a lot of money is saved.
It's really very hot for people to watch.
And the other one that makes everyone's eyes hot is the army of thousands of mountain cities.
They were really armed to the teeth, and the equipment on the soldiers was not mentioned.
Let's just say that most of them are actually one person and three horses, this configuration is really staggering.
To make matters worse, they also had hundreds of wagons in their ranks.
They were served every day eating, drinking, and Lazar, and every day when it was time to set up camp, which was the most lively time in their camp.
Other people's soldiers are all in the hard drive, just drinking cold water and nibbling on dry hard cakes.
However, in their camp, there were singing and dancing every day, and the aroma of wine and meat could be heard every day.
You know, they are going to the west to fight.
I don't know, when I see this, I'm afraid I think they are going on an outing in the wild!
What a jealousy of others!
