Chapter 587 is approaching
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up! ”
On the road from Yunzhou County to the central steppe in the Tatar steppe, an army of more than 300,000 men was advancing rapidly, with 5,000 light cavalry exploring the road at the front, followed by the infantry.
The third place is actually the baggage soldier who has always fallen last.
And the last one was the heavy cavalry unit.
The cavalry of the heavy cavalry unit itself was not slow, but they had too much equipment and supplies.
In addition to the horses they were riding, there were two other spare horses.
In addition to the horses, the four auxiliaries followed closely with heavy armor and equipment, food, grass and weapons.
In order to wait for these equipment, the heavy cavalry could only reduce their speed and fall behind the back of the group, which made the baggage soldiers who had always been left behind desperately to catch up with other troops.
Finally, there are troops that are slower than themselves.
Ichiro was in this team as a glorious auxiliary soldier of the Yunzhou Army.
After seven days of emergency training, their group of auxiliaries was quickly assigned, and the heavy cavalry soldier he followed was surnamed Qian.
Qian Sanjia, born in a scholarly family, is said to be the family at that time hoped that he could pass the top three glorious lintels in every exam.
However, he has been strong since he was a child, but he has never been determined to do this, but prefers to dance with knives and guns.
How could he be born in a family of poetry and book heirlooms, his thoughts are simply deviant, and he has been constantly attacked by his elders since he was a child.
Originally, he thought that in this life, he could only walk on the path arranged for him by his elders under the arrangement of his elders, study hard, it doesn't matter if he doesn't read well, it's a big deal to spend more on the exam, and when he has achieved fame, his family can get him a petty official in the county through his relationship, and he will have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, and he can also bless the family.
However, after being forced to flee to Yunzhou County after a natural disaster, his fate went to an unexpected path, and instead of picking up a pen as his parents expected, he picked up another pole - a gun.
When Yunzhou County recruited soldiers, he did not have any skills except for studying, and when he first made his own choice, he did not choose to enter the public school of Yunzhou County as a teacher and educate people like those former classmates, but entered the Yunzhou Army.
And from the original sword and shield soldiers, he overcame all the obstacles and became an ironclad heavy cavalry with the best results.
It is also the type of military with the highest salary and the highest subsidy in the army.
When other soldiers were still receiving three taels of silver a month, he could already get six taels, which was half of that of ordinary soldiers, and there were various subsidies and so on, and his monthly income was at least ten taels.
This immediately made him flee penniless, and in just two years, he bought a three-entry mansion in Yunzhou City, and married a delicate and lovely Guanzhong mother-in-law with a good buttocks, and gave birth to a big fat boy who weighed nine pounds as soon as he was a child!
Even if you meet an acquaintance on the street, you know that you are the ironclad heavy cavalry in the Yunzhou army, and you are a person who has to raise a thumbs up to give you a compliment!
The house tickets are all complete!
This also made Qian Sanjia even more proud of his identity as an ironclad heavy cavalry.
Every time he sees Qian Sanjia's tall back, Ichiro can't help but clench his legs, such a tall, strong and brave person really deserves to be known as the strongest ironclad heavy cavalry in the Yunzhou army!
Being able to serve such an adult is simply a blessing that I cultivated in my previous life.
Since being assigned to Qian Sanjia, Ichiro can't wait to take care of everything by himself.
Whether it was to resist armor, food or feed horses, he wanted to do it as long as he still had a little strength, but what made him regret was that he was not allowed to touch the cold and flickering riding spear.
How much he wanted to rub the oil on that gun!
It's a pity that he is a widow.
But he believed that one day he would be trusted with his loyalty, so that he would be quickly touched with a weapon that even a god could possess!
"Ichiro! Bring the water! ”
Just as Ichiro was running wildly with the supplies on his back, the voice of Qian Sanjia in front of him suddenly came.
"Okay, Lord Sanjia! Come now! ”
Ichiro answered, quickened his pace, quickly chased forward, and soon came to Qian Sanjia, who was deliberately full of speed, and handed over the kettle.
Qian Sanjia stopped his horse and took the kettle and drank a few sips, then wiped his mouth and handed the kettle back to Ichiro.
Ichiro looked at the endless grassland and asked, "Lord Sanjia, how long will it take for us to arrive?" ”
Listening to his lame official words, Qian Sanjia looked at the front and said casually: "There is one day at most, I just have a good rest tonight, and when I enter the central grassland, the battle may start at any time."
And don't secretly feed these horses eggs at night, the eggs are rationed, and now give them too much, and it will not be enough later. ”
"Hey! I understand! Triple Honor! Promise not to feed them again! ”
"Don't call me sir, I'm not your father."
"In my heart, the top three adults are the little reborn parents!"
The corners of Qian Sanjia's mouth twitched, and he quickly left with a whip.
This widow is really speechless.
At night, the army found a sheltered place and settled down, and in the big tent of the Chinese army, Guan Ning and a group of senior officers were deliberating.
"Tomorrow morning at most an hour, we will enter the central grassland, and according to the latest intelligence, the Hun army is competing at the moment, as soon as we enter, there may be a battle at any time, tomorrow the time to pull out the camp is an hour later, so that the soldiers can have a good rest, so as not to have no strength to fight."
"No!"
The officer in charge of blowing the wake-up horn immediately nodded in understanding.
Guan Ning nodded, then looked at the other general who was in charge of managing the night and said, "How is the road situation in the middle of our front?" Is there anything unusual over there? ”
The general who was in charge of the night did not collect immediately surrendered his hand and said: "Back to the general, the road situation in front has been fully explored, and the corresponding sand table has also been made, and the Chinese army will be sent to the big tent later."
However, today we were not collecting our night, and we found a Tatar messenger in the central steppe, but it may have been too hasty and tired, and the man who had just seen us had fainted after saying a few words, and was now resting in my camp. ”
"What did he say?"
Guan Ning frowned and asked.
The general immediately said: "A hundred miles away from us, the tribes of Tuligan are migrating to this side, and their Khan Sangha is leading the warriors of the tribe to resist the Hun spies who are chasing after them, and they are no more than fifty miles away from the large army.
We met him in the afternoon, and now that we forget it, the tribesmen of the Turigan tribe should be no more than fifty miles away from us, and it is estimated that if we go fast tomorrow morning, we will meet him before noon, and the monk side will meet tomorrow afternoon at most.
This means that the time left for us to prepare for the battle will not exceed one day, although the first to encounter should be the vanguard of the Huns, but the large army is estimated to be able to keep up in half a day at most, the Huns are the whole cavalry troops run fast! ”
"Does that mean we'll be able to run into the Hun cavalry by tomorrow afternoon at the latest?" Guan Ning asked.
The general nodded.
Guan Ning flipped the whip in his hand, then turned his head and asked, "Is there a water source ahead?" ”
"Yes!"
The night general Lin immediately shouted outside, and it didn't take long for two soldiers to come in carrying a sand table.
Immediately the generals surrounded him.
The generals who did not accept it at night pointed to them to make their debut more than twenty miles to the north:
"Twenty miles ahead of us there was a stream, the only source of water within a hundred miles of the neighborhood.
There is a high slope near our side of this water source, and the terrain is quite suitable for hiding, but it can only hide 5,000 people at most, and any more will be easily discovered.
But if you rush down from here, you can rush to the water source with the speed of a cavalry of fifteen breaths at most.
Dudu, the last general thinks that we can ambush here, whether it is the vanguard army of the Huns or the army in the rear, as long as they chase it, they will inevitably replenish water here, it is an excellent ambush place! ”
The night does not close, Jiang Lin pointed to a high slope to the south of the stream.
The generals immediately began to discuss the matter.
