Time: Three days later, around one o'clock in the afternoon.

Hu Biao, who was under a round of scorching sun, poured a large mouthful of Cantonese herbal tea into his mouth with a good effect, but the taste was really ecstasy.

I clearly remember in my heart that I had asked the same question at most half an hour ago.

But under the psychology of concern and chaos, he still asked the marching staff officer beside him again: "Zhongda, how far has our army gone today, and how far is it expected to go?" ”

After hearing such a sentence, a marching staff officer who had abandoned his pen and read from Rong served as a staff officer.

The little brother whose name is Zhongda immediately replied:

"Hu Xianggong, I have walked about seventeen or eighteen miles today; If the moonlight is good tonight, if you catch up with the night road for another hour, you should be able to walk forty miles. ”

At the end of the day, you can walk forty miles, and you have to walk for an hour at night.

After hearing such a heartwarming statement, without waiting for Hu Biao to say anything, the concubine on the side just let out a long sigh.

The emotion of that resentment to the extreme, is like a negative lover, a deep resentful woman who has been abandoned......

According to Hu Biao's plan, the speed of marching 70 miles a day.

By the time of tonight, they should have marched more than two hundred miles, so they should not be far from Zhending Mansion, that is, Shijiazhuang, a big city in the modern plane.

However, in fact, they are still more than a hundred miles away from the capital city of Zhending Mansion.

Why is this happening? It's a handful of tears.

It wasn't that the Northern Expeditionary Army set off again on the second day after taking the Daimyo's Mansion lightly, but it was only after walking for half a day that they encountered some huge troubles.

Those golden cavalry, since they suffered a big loss yesterday, can be regarded as a good learner today.

After completely changing the style of play, Hu Biao and the others became extremely uncomfortable.

Specifically, all the cities and levels of these grandchildren along the way were voluntarily abandoned.

Let Hu Biao and them use explosives packs, as well as a large number of artillery pieces now, to quickly attack the city, and weaken the Jin people one by one.

If that's all there is, it's nothing.

The key problem is that the Jin people have become smart since this battle, and they have replaced the cavalry with as little as three or five hundred and one thousand, and at most one thousand or so people.

A total of dozens of teams swam like a swarm of bees in an area of hundreds of miles.

Relying on the large area of plains around them, and their ability to maneuver at high speeds.

The key is that their cavalry is stronger than the new army in terms of quantity and quality, and they are constantly forced in from the gap in the defense of the new army's cavalry to attack and harass the marching army.

If you see an opportunity, you will come up and rush up and slash for a while and leave.

If you see that the Song army has formed a car formation, you immediately turn around and withdraw without the slightest hesitation, it is called quite decisive.

The main thing is that it is an idea to take advantage of it, and if it doesn't work, it is the mental and physical strength of the soldiers of the Northern Expedition.

Frankly speaking, these Jin people have not achieved much in these aspects.

For three consecutive days, only five or six companies were rushed into the marching column by these golden men because of the untimely formation, and more than half of them were killed and wounded under a single slash.

This is only a few hundred casualties, for the strength of the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty.

And for a war of this scale, it is nothing at all, and it has not affected the morale of the army.

Therefore, under the constant attack of the Jin people, often after a day, the Great Song warriors who had a large number of carts to take turns to ride were now able to maintain their physical strength.

In terms of morale, it is still kept high.

But there is one point, which Hu Biao absolutely cannot accept.

That is, under the constant attack of the Jin people, the army on the march needs to stop from time to time and form a chariot formation defense.

At the end of the day, there were a dozen or so of such things, and the speed of the march was immediately reduced.

Not to mention that as originally planned, after a day's work, the speed of the march of sixty miles could be maintained.

It has become like this, and it is very depressing to the extent that I want to walk forty miles in a day, and I have to walk for an hour at night.

Special! I really want to continue like this.

By the first day of March, before the deadline set by this system, they were afraid that they would not even be able to see the walls of Yanjing City.

And when he thought of such a point, seven or eight miles away, another sky-piercing monkey rose into the sky and exploded in the sky.

There was no doubt that a small force of golden cavalry had been killed.

So, the army, which had been marching for less than half an hour, had to stop again; By the time we started the journey again, it was almost an hour later.

Unfortunately, tonight is a dark night with no fingers in sight.

Therefore, after it got dark, considering that there were many civilians in the army, and there was severe night blindness, the army could only camp on the spot.

At the end of the day, it was only 312 miles away.

What to do? Hu Biao scratched his scalp, which had not been washed for some days, and shouted at the concubine who was acting as an assistant secretary: "Inform all senior officers, including the division commander, to have a meeting in two hours......

That night, such a meeting lasted until midnight, and only then did it come to a solution that was not a solution.

The reason why I said this was that there was no good way, Hu Biao could only choose to let all the cavalry out and try his best to prevent the Jin cavalry from attacking and disturbing the car formation.

Even he understood that in the previous time, with the fire support of the vehicle array.

Originally, the cavalry units of the new army could still have some upper hand after facing the Jin cavalry.

But once the mode of battle was changed to such a skirmish between the cavalry without any fancy on both sides; The cavalry of the new army, which has less horsemanship and scale, will definitely suffer even more.

In such a process, the cavalry of the Forces nouvelles was bound to suffer terrible casualties.

But the so-called lesser of two evils, Hu Biao could only endure the pain and let these cavalry go up.

As long as they can ensure that they can successfully reach the city of Yanjing before the 26th, even if the two cavalry divisions are all exhausted, they will grit their teeth and admit it.

And the only thing they could do for the two cavalry divisions was to let as many old birds as skilled as possible with some elite cavalry as a firefighting team.

Once you see the explosion of the Sky Piercing Monkey, such a signal to ask for help is immediately killed.

With such an order, the most difficult moments for the old birds and cavalry divisions also began to appear......

******

When I saw the direction of 10 o'clock, about ten miles away, suddenly there was a large monkey piercing the sky, flying into the sky with a 'whoosh~'.

However, even in the daylight of the day, the light of the explosion was still clearly recognizable.

Immediately, in Huang Yizhi's mouth, he scolded hatefully:

"These golden cavalry troops are really ghostly; Don't let Lao Tzu hold this old Bi Deng, or you will definitely kill this grandson~"

After scolding, the factory master of the West Factory looked back at the position behind him, and the people and horses were all a group of elite cavalrymen who were a little tired.

Although knowing these people, it is better to give them a good rest now.

Helplessly, the movement of the sky-piercing monkey just now means that the cavalry of their own side cruising in that direction are almost unbearable.

If they don't hurry up and support the past, then the cavalry of the Jin people will take the opportunity to kill the marching army, causing the marching team to have to stop.

In the end, after Huang Yizhi gritted his teeth, he shouted a sentence in his mouth:

"Brothers, come with me, wait until you kill these golden people and horses, and I will add chicken legs to you at night~"

After saying that, he slammed his heel the belly of the war horse under his crotch; Carrying a horse lance in his hand, he took the lead in the direction of 10 o'clock and hurried over.

Seeing this, behind him was originally a reinforced cavalry company with more than 200 people to you, but now there were only more than a hundred knights left.

After glancing at each other, they noticed the obvious bitterness and tiredness in the eyes of their comrades.

But they are still slapping their war horses one after another, keeping up with the figure of the factory man in the west factory......
