Chapter 136: Rapid March! The Woko are coming!
Chopped?
Really killed?
The crowd of onlookers was stunned.
This is the dignified Cao Guogong!
After Li Wenzhong, the king of Qiyang, the founder of the country, did he really say that he would kill him?
Many people secretly swallowed the spittle.
It is said that His Royal Highness Taisun not only has Li Du's poetic talent, but also is decisive in killing.
Today, I learned that it was not a false rumor.
But everyone thought of Li Jinglong's last bear appearance, and felt that this kind of general was better to kill.
Selling fame and reputation, and greedy for life and afraid of death, can he be a good general?
Zhu Yunxi looked ahead, it was the five hundred soldiers and horses brought by Li Jinglong.
"Why don't you get out of the way? Do you want to be put to death in the same way as your lord? ”
Those soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, quickly get out of the way.
They came on the orders of Li Jinglong, and they acted according to the orders, and if they wanted to be punished, they could not be judged.
But if you continue to block the way, the nature will change completely.
His Royal Highness Taisun even dared to kill Li Jinglong, let alone them.
"Hang up Li Jinglong's head to show the order to strengthen the army's might. The whole army was ordered to speed up its advance and rush to Jiaxing Mansion within four days. ”
Zhu Yunxi gave an order, and the marching speed of the army suddenly became faster.
Jiang Zhen was shocked in his heart, from Jinling to Jiaxing Mansion, it was six hundred miles away.
Their army is not cavalry, but infantry.
Except for His Royal Highness Taisun riding in a carriage, and he and a very small number of generals such as Zheng He riding horses, the rest of the people and horses walked on two legs.
Six hundred miles in four days, that is, one hundred and fifty miles a day, is this really possible?
Although he was the commander of the Jinyi Guard and did not lead the troops into battle, he also knew the speed of the general infantry marching, that is, what it looked like to be thirty to fifty miles a day, and only the cavalry could travel more than a hundred miles a day.
However, due to the short time of its formation, the new army had not yet had time to arrange horses, and was only a pure infantry.
How could there be the speed of cavalry?
However.
When he really started to march, Jiang Zhen discovered the difference between the new army.
The speed at which they marched, really fast.
With no armor and reduced weight, their agility is greatly enhanced.
When Zhu Yunxi was training the new army, he always took running as the top priority.
Soldiers are fast.
Even in the later generations, when mechanized equipment was popularized, the field army also had to train to march with heavy or light equipment every day.
Jinyiwei is a carefully selected elite, and many people still have good martial arts.
At this time, many people couldn't keep up with the new army.
The more time passes, the more so.
This made Jiang Xuan's face a little unbearable, and he kept urging them to speed up.
At the end of the day, the whole army marched forward for nearly 180 miles before setting up camp.
No one in the Forces nouvelles has been left behind.
And there were less than 400 people in Jinyiwei to keep up with the trip.
The remaining 100 people have all been left behind.
Jiang Xuan's face was extremely ugly.
This is a brocade guard!
The head of the Ming Dynasty guards, the elite of the elite.
Can't even compare to the newly formed new army?
How can he keep his face?
In fact, you can't really blame the brocade guards.
Sun Tzu said in the Art of War that if you run a hundred miles to fight for profit, then the generals of the three armies may be captured. The sturdy soldiers were able to reach the battlefield first, and the weary soldiers were bound to lag behind, so that only a tenth of the men and horses could arrive on time.
And they ran a hundred and eighty miles in one day.
That is, Jinyiwei, so that nearly 400 people can hold on.
If you change the soldiers of any of the other guards in the Ming Dynasty, fifty of the five hundred people can keep up and not fall behind, which is quite good.
Not to mention the infantry, even the cavalry, this speed can be called very amazing.
The road of this era is not the afterlife, and it is very rugged and difficult to travel.
No one in the new army was left behind, which was inconceivable in Jiang Zhen's opinion.
It seems that this army does have its own unique ways.
He thought to himself.
In fact, like others, Jiang was also full of suspicion of the New Army.
This army is so weird.
One has to wonder.
It's just that suspicion is suspicion, Jiang Zhen still firmly chose to stand with Zhu Yunxi and unconditionally obey his orders.
Zhu Yunxi is not surprised by this.
First, the new army abandoned its armor and greatly reduced its burden.
In fact, after entering the age of firearms, before the invention of technologically advanced body armor in later generations, ordinary armor was meaningless.
Because armor that can resist swords and arrows is like paper paste in the face of bullets.
Rather than putting on armor and adding weight out of thin air, it is better to simply throw it away.
Second, the New Army has been training for running and rapid marching, which no other army of this era has ever trained like this.
Third, every soldier of the New Army has been carefully selected and has a strong physique, which is very comparable to others.
In the ordinary army of later generations, the selection of soldiers' physical fitness was actually not too strict.
As long as there is no disease and good health, it will be fine.
Being a soldier is not an athlete, and you don't need to be physically fit far beyond ordinary people.
A normal person in good health, after a few months of training, can meet the standards of the army.
Only the requirements of the special forces will be greatly raised.
But Zhu Yunxi's criteria for selecting soldiers were on par with the special forces of later generations from the beginning.
The army trained in this way is naturally extraordinary.
There was no word all night.
On the second day, when the east was slightly white, the army had set out again.
The march was more than 160 miles in one day.
On the third day, the march was more than 140 miles.
On the fourth day, the march was more than 120 miles.
Jiaxing Mansion, it's here!
At sunset, Jiang Zheng looked at the Jiaxing city wall not far away, looking in a trance and a little incredulous.
Of the five hundred brocade guards, only a hundred or so people followed the team.
And the new army is still a neat 500 people, not a lot.
This new army really cannot be measured by common sense.
"His Royal Highness, let's hurry up and enter the city."
As soon as Jiang Xuan's voice fell, he heard Zhu Yunxi instruct Zheng He: "Pass the order to go down and camp outside the city." ”
Jiang Zhen was stunned for a moment, they all arrived at the city of Jiaxing, why didn't they enter the city?
If he commanded an army of tens of thousands and was afraid of harassing the people in the city, it would make sense to be stationed outside.
But there are only more than 600 of them, and they can be easily resettled in the city.
It's just that he thinks in his heart that Zhu Yunxi's order is still carried out to the letter.
Immediately let the Jinyi guard camp on the spot.
The soldiers were busy.
Zhu Yunxi came up from the carriage and was also relieved.
In the past few days of rapid marching, although he has been sitting in the carriage, he has been so bumpy that his bones are about to fall apart.
The roads of this era are too bad and bumpy.
Moreover, the carriage does not have any shock absorbing device at all, and it is okay to drive in Jinling City, but once you run out of the city, you are really guilty.
It's not an empty phrase.
Not to mention that he was still running so fast.
However, seeing that Jiaxing City was still intact, he felt that all this was worth it.
What he was most worried about was that the pirates and thieves had taken possession of Jiaxing City before they arrived.
Now it seems that the rapid march of several days has not been in vain.
They succeeded in getting ahead of the Japanese and rushed to the city of Jiaxing.
"Look, there's someone over there!"
I don't know who screamed.
Zhu Yunxi turned his head to look.
I saw that on the horizon not far away, the black oppressive people and horses were surging like a tide.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
The soldiers in Jiaxing City, standing on the city wall, saw farther, and the sound of drums had already sounded.
"It's the Japanese Invaders, it's the Japanese Invaders, the Japanese Invaders are attacking Jiaxing!"
