After communicating with Little Gray Gray, Qin Feng got the answer he wanted.

"Chen arrives!"

"The subordinates are here!" Chen Zhi hugged his fists and agreed.

"Blow the trumpet and assemble, ready to go!"

"Obey!"

At the same time as Chen Zhi gathered his people, Qin Feng took out the map from his arms to study.

According to the information brought by the Little Gray Gray Tracking, Cao Ren's army is currently in the Xihua area, from Runan City to Xihua, Cao Ren's army has traveled for two days, and if it is at this rate, Cao Ren's army only needs two more days to rush back to Xudu.

Without the support of the post station system, it is absolutely impossible for the messenger to rush back to the Xu Shu camp outside the city of Xu in two days, even if people can hold on, the horses can't support it!

"The messenger is unreliable, so he follows and pursues, but he can catch up before Cao Ren's army returns to Xudu, but if Cao Ren leaves a force to block our army, and then lead the rest of the army to continue the rapid march to attack Xu Shu's camp, if Xu Shu is unprepared, it is also extremely dangerous!"

"If this is not Cao Ren's plan, but Xun Yu or Cheng Yu's plan, they must have devised a closer plan to deal with Xu Shu's army, so the only way now is to rush to the front of Cao Ren's army to intercept it!"

The road that Cao Ren's army chose to return to Xudu must pass through Xinji County, which belongs to Yingchuan County, which is not far from Xudu at this time, only less than a day's journey.

Chen came to the horse to report: "Lord, the people and horses have been assembled at the foot of the mountain!" ”

Qin Feng put away the map, turned over on his horse, and greeted with his weapon: "The soldiers are sent to Xinji County, they must arrive within a day, let's go!" ”

Chen Zhi's face changed, "Lord, there are more than 200 people from here to Xinji County, how can you arrive in one day?" ”

Qin Feng said in a deep voice: "Except for weapons, bows and arrows, each person should bring three days' dry food and a water bag, and all other equipment will be unloaded, leaving a thousand people to bring back to Wancheng!" Feed more concentrate to the war horses, along the way the Ma Xie people do not stop, eat and drink Lazar all on horseback, must rush to Xinji County within one day to block Cao Ren's army, otherwise our 16,000 people under the city of Xu Du will be in danger, with Xun Yu and others resourceful, once they act, it must be a thunderbolt, so our army must overcome all difficulties to block Cao Ren's army, needless to say, let's go! ”

"No!"

At the foot of the mountain, Qin Feng ordered that everyone should only carry spears, bows and crossbows, three days' rations and a water bag, and the rest of the equipment should be left in place, and a thousand of them dismounted and left the horses, and these people would return to Wancheng with all the equipment they had left.

A quarter of an hour later, a thousand men loaded all the unloaded equipment into a carriage and transported it back to Wancheng, while Qin Feng and Chen Zhi rushed to Xinji County with the remaining 2,000 cavalry.

The 3,000 cavalry under his command, in addition to the 3,000 official war horses, also carried another 1,000 spare war horses on this expedition, and now there are only 2,000 people, so each person is evenly distributed with two horses, which can be rotated.

In order to increase the ability of war horses to run long distances as much as possible, under Qin Feng's order, the soldiers controlled the war horses to trot forward.

This type of march is much faster than walking on horseback, but not as fast as a fast horse, but it has the advantage that the other two types of marching are not comparable, and that is that a trotting march on horseback allows the horse to maintain the same speed for a long time without feeling too tired.

If the horse is fast, the horse will not run long and will sweat profusely, and will have to stop to rest, if it continues to run, not only will it not be able to reach the destination in time, but it will waste the horse.

In order to reduce the weight of the war horse as much as possible, Qin Feng even asked the soldiers to remove all their armor and waist knives before setting off, so there was almost no protection on the soldiers at this time.

After marching for three hours, Qin Feng ordered to stop and rest for an hour, if he didn't rest, he couldn't do it, even if the people could stand it, the horses couldn't stand it.

The long march on horseback was something these cavalry soldiers had never experienced before, and many of them had their thighs worn out and ached uncomfortably.

"Feed the horses ** feed, hurry up, let them gnaw the grass after feeding!" Qin Feng greeted loudly.

At this time, it was getting late, and it was necessary to feed the horses as soon as possible before they could continue the march.

Only when the war horses were fed could the soldiers solve the problem of eating and drinking Lazar.

The cavalry ran for a long time, saying that it was to solve the problem of eating, drinking, and Lazar on horseback, and the Marshall people did not stop, and did not stop for a moment halfway, in his previous life, Qin Feng saw someone say this on the Internet, but when he crossed over to this world and led the troops to experience it himself, he knew that those people were completely farting, and they liked to beep blindly without understanding anything.

Genghis Khan couldn't have done it!

If it doesn't stop, how can the war horse eat? Sitting on horseback peeing and, I want to see how you pull it out!

"Chen, you still have to be cautious when marching at night, you choose the elite of two hundred horsemen to be the front army first, the front army must be responsible for reconnaissance, eliminating dangers, identifying roads and directions, and try not to take detours!"

Chen Zhi hugged his fists: "Obey!" ”

Fortunately, although there are rivers in Runan and Yingchuan County, they are not like the water network in the Yangtze River Basin, otherwise they will be busy enough to open roads and build bridges in the mountains, and they want to march more than 200 miles in one day? I can only dream, and I have everything in my dreams!

The second time I rested was late at night, feeding the horses, eating, drinking, and taking a nap.

Many people felt tired from the bumps along the way, and fell asleep as soon as they lay down, but they were quickly woken up, loaded and continued to set off.

Qin Feng asked the sergeant to bring a torch, he took out the map and opened it and looked at it, "We have passed Yinqiang County, and we will enter Xinji in another eighty miles, and I ordered the officers and men of the whole army to work harder and strive to rush to the predetermined place before dawn!" ”

This time, the marching speed was a little higher, although the war horses were only trotting, they did not consume much physical strength, and they could not stand for too long, and the two war horses were tired and sweating like rain when they took turns riding.

At dawn, Qin Feng and his team finally arrived at the predetermined location.

"This is it, order the whole army to feed the horses immediately······"

With Qin Feng's order, the two thousand soldiers dismounted one after another and began to take out the essence to feed the horses, after feeding the horses, many people went to and pee, and after eating dry food, they fell asleep according to the requirements, and recovered their strength as soon as possible to prepare for the battle.

"According to Xiao Gray's reconnaissance, Cao Ren's army camped thirty miles southeast of here last night, you take the soldiers to rest here, and prepare to set up an ambush after an hour, I will personally go to investigate the situation of Cao Jun!"

Chen Zhi promised: "The subordinates obey the order, and the lord is careful all the way!" ”
