At dawn on the second day

The four volunteer cavalry divisions that participated in the thousand-mile raid, totaling more than one officer and soldier (two field cavalry artillery battalions were reinforced), got up at about 4 o'clock in the morning, inspected their weapons and equipment, fed the horses with black beans and water with torches, and tied up all the equipment firmly.

Each cavalryman was equipped with two horses, carrying enough supplies for more than 10 days of combat life.

It was nearly six o'clock when the horsemen had waited for their horses, and then it was their turn to run to the stove and scoop a large bowl of broth, and eat it with the bread, and the whole body became hot.

In the next few days, there will be no time for a hot meal after continuous fighting and rushing, and everyone will have to eat dry food and drink cold water to survive.

In the leisure time of the march, the cavalry had to be busy taking care of the war horses to replenish the essence, which was the combat partner of the cavalry who regarded life as more than life, and they could not be careless at all.

When the first glimmer of morning light appears on the horizon

More than 18,000 elite cavalry are ready to go. Diaphragm

"Division Commander Wu, is the commander invited?"

"Oh, lead the way."

Lieutenant Colonel Wu Erbao hurriedly explained a few words to the officers around him, and then knocked his feet on the horse's belly, and drove the horses under his seat to follow the herald closely, followed by several divisional guards.

A group of more than a dozen rode horses to the hill outside the camp, and the sky was slightly bright at this time, and dozens of commanders of the corps headquarters were standing on the high part of the hill, and they were talking to each other in groups of three or five, and they heard the sound of horses' hooves and looked over.

When there were still dozens of meters away, Lieutenant Colonel Wu Erbao conveniently turned over and dismounted, followed the herald to trot closer, and then stood up and saluted with a "horn" on both legs, and reported solemnly; "Report to the commander, Wu Erbao of the 10th Volunteer Cavalry Division reports to you, please instruct!"

"Master Wu, please take a break."

"Yes!" Diaphragm

"Are the troops ready to attack?"

"Report to the commander, all members of the 10th Division are ready to attack and are ready to attack at any time."

"Good...... Relax. Lieutenant General Lei Juekun waved his hand, made a gesture of "you come over and talk", and took Lieutenant Colonel Wu Erbao to the rear a dozen steps, and stood down next to a tall and heroic young army captain.

I saw Lieutenant General Lei Juekun bend his body involuntarily and said softly; "Your Highness Eleven...... It's too late for you to change your mind. This is the commander of the 10th Division, Wu, who is also a person who does things properly and thoughtfully, and it should be no problem for you to leave your safety to him. ”

After listening to the conversation between the two, Wu Erbao's body suddenly shook, and his legs were a little weak and he wanted to kneel.

No matter how stupid he is, he knows that this tall captain officer is from the royal family, and he is like a big man.

I saw the tall captain officer look at him with clear eyes, and with a slight gentle smile, he said in a loud voice; "Then trouble Senior Commander Wu, my identity is a little sensitive, and I ask Senior Commander Wu to help keep it secret, don't affect the important military operation." Diaphragm

"It doesn't affect it, it doesn't affect ......" Wu Erbao's voice was dry when he replied, and he immediately bent down and performed a knightly etiquette.

"This is His Royal Highness Don Li Xin, I won't say anything superfluous. You can call Captain Li in the army, and you must not reveal the identity of His Highness, you are the only one in the 10th Division who knows. I will put the 10th Division at the end of the attack operation, and all actions are based on the safety of His Highness, remember! Lieutenant General Lei Juekun said solemnly.

His Royal Highness Tang Li Xin is the third son of the current empress, the third heir to the throne of the empire, and the Duke of Colorado.

If there is a mistake, the Lei family can't afford to pay for it, and Lieutenant General Lei Juekun can't help but be careful and instruct again.

Today's saint is the founding emperor who immediately opened up the territory, and the princes have also experienced the influence of the war army since childhood, some princes have traveled to European countries to broaden their horizons, and some princes have been sharpened in the army, tempering their will and quality, and there is no coquettishness of other royal families.

The Eleventh Prince, Tang Li Xin, was still young during the North American War and was unable to catch up with the unprecedented tragedy of the war.

It's not ...... When he became an adult, he entered the military and experienced the hardships of a thousand-mile war. Diaphragm

It is impossible to persuade it, this is the emperor's order.

"Master Wu, don't be nervous, I also have cavalry guards here, just follow your troops to act together, and you don't need special care. Normal military operations are good when we don't exist, what to do! His Royal Highness Tang Li Xin said with a gentle expression.

Since childhood, the princes have heard and witnessed their father's treatment of the common people when they inspected, and they all have a gentle appearance without a frame, and they have also learned eight or nine without leaving ten.

Lieutenant General Lei Juekun; “……”

Lieutenant Colonel Wu Erbao; “……”

Who can be the eleventh prince in the Tang Empire, and His Royal Highness does not exist?

Who would dare to be the eleventh prince of His Royal Highness not exist? Diaphragm

The name Tang-Li Xin represents the existence of the royal family, and being able to give the noble surname "Tang" is a proper royal disciple!

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in civilian clothes walked over from the crowd, looked at the young and heroic His Royal Highness Tang Li Xin's complicated expression, hesitated for a moment and said; "Your Highness is tolerant, Weichen still hopes that Your Highness will not risk your life, this military operation is too ......"

"Brother Aaron, don't say it again. Since I was born into the royal family, I have borne the ardent hopes of countless people. The Father taught us; We must see with our own eyes, listen with our own ears, and experience all things in the world with our own eyes, so as not to be superficial, and not to exaggerate. His Royal Highness Don Li Xin looked at the far north, and his clear eyes flashed with a hint of fire, and continued;

"The sons and daughters are not talented, and they can't share the worries of their father. However, it is a rare opportunity to relive the glorious experience of my father who led tens of millions of iron horsemen down the Colorado Plateau and across North America to sharpen his will.

You don't need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind, and I will order the army to go on the march! ”

"In this case, Weichen respectfully obeys His Highness's orders." Gu Yalun, the first governor of the Andean Governor's Palace, received the order with a respectful expression, turned around and suddenly opened his momentum, and commanded Lieutenant General Lei Juekun; "Order, the army is on the march!"

"Yes, Lord Ministry." Lieutenant General Lei Juekun bowed down and clenched his fists to receive the order, and then issued an order for the army to go out. Diaphragm

Dozens of muffled trumpets sounded, and then the rousing sound of war drums resounded throughout the world, and in the morning light, heavily armed cavalry divisions lined up and embarked on a journey of thousands of miles.

People are like tides, horses are like dragons, and fierce battle flags flutter in the wind.

With the march sequence of the 2nd, 8th, 10th, and 19th Divisions, the long horse team could not see the edge at a glance, and rolled towards the east with the solemn atmosphere of the infinite golden iron horse.

In the middle of the camp

The officers and men who did not participate in the operation gathered in the camp tents, silently watched the departure of their comrades-in-arms, and sang the military song of "March Song of the Cavalry Regiment" in unison.

The chorus of tens of thousands of people was rough and shocking, and Lieutenant Colonel Wu Erbao saluted the governor's palace and the head of the corps with a solemn expression, and then galloped back to the advancing queue with His Royal Highness Tang Li Xin and more than 100 cavalry guards.

At this time, His Royal Highness Tang Li Xin was infected by the magnificent scene of the expedition, a young face was a little red with excitement, he tightly held the command knife inlaid with gems on his waist, and rode a horse to follow the side of Master Wu Erbao, feeling his blood boiling. Diaphragm

"Your Highness, you better relax, you will have to spend the next few days on horseback, the tension will make you very tired." Riding beside His Royal Highness was Lieutenant Colonel Pan Shouguo, an official of the royal family, and he also had the identity of the prince of the Protectorate, that is, the eldest son of Admiral Pan Hengchen.

Even if Lieutenant General Lei Juekun sees Lieutenant Colonel Pan Shouguo, he must be honored with the title of "Your Excellency the Lord", because once Marshal Pan Hengcheng returns to heaven, then Pan Shouguo will be the next Duke of Protector, and the title will be even more noble.

Below the royal family, the duke is honored.

All the nobles who have reached the rank of duke are the top of the sky, and this rank is also the leading brother of the nobles, and they must be respected.

"Hmph, where did you see that I was nervous?" His Royal Highness Don Li Xin had just turned 15 years old, and the young man's face was a little unbearable.

Lieutenant Colonel Pan Shouguo smiled and didn't say anything, just looked at His Highness's somewhat stiff body with his eyes, and the meaning was already very clear.

His Royal Highness Tang Li Xin was very uncomfortable with his gaze, and after enduring it, he could only be as good as a stream, and said a little relaxed; "After all, it's the first time to go out with the army, so it's normal to be a little unfamiliar, right?" Diaphragm

"What His Highness said is very true, but I am really going to suffer in the past few days, at least the skin on the inner thighs is going to be worn out."

"Was this the case with my father?"

"That's nature, the Holy Lord not only led the Tang Dynasty Iron Cavalry across the Great Plains in the middle of North America, but also took the lead in the defeat of 10,000 people, hundreds of enemies in his hands, caused by divine might, and was afraid of the night, what a magnificent spirit it was!"

"Brother Shouguo, just listening to your narration makes me fascinated!" Tang Li Xin is also a loyal fan of his father, the kind of die-hard fan.

As they spoke, the group joined the cavalry and galloped towards the east......

With the departure of the mobile corps, after dawn, the large battalions in the army also began to become restless.

As soon as the Corps Headquarters issued one order after another, a cavalry division immediately roared out of the camp, divided into more than 10 roads, with hundreds of cavalry on each road, and began to launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the small Allied cavalry in the north, thus covering the frontal battlefield. Diaphragm

The infantry in the large battalion also began to pack their bags, and they began to move towards Yasensong, 260 kilometers away, and planned to reach the outskirts of Yasensong in five days at a pace of 50 kilometers a day.

The Allied side was not entirely unprepared, and the Brazilian cavalry had approached to reconnoiter the vicinity of the main camp, with some thousands of Allied cavalry scattered along the path of the march.

Once the army has moved, the Allied side of Ascension will receive news in two days at the latest, which is something that cannot be concealed.

The opening of the army is just to confuse the public, and it is also a move to attract the Allied forces in Ascension, so it depends on whether the commander of the Allied forces, Duke Marques de Casias, will take the bait?

Because the Andean Governor's Office of the Tang Empire sent a total of five volunteer militia divisions, with a total number of about 20,000 people, the main army is about 55,000 people one day apart, and then there are about 18,000 people in the guard corps one day apart.

Such a troop arrangement is clearly to lure the other party to take the bait!
