Chapter 17: Night Run
After three days of day and night, after doing all the sentry posts along the way, Jia Huibu finally walked out of the mountain.
It's not easy.
Counting the number of people, more than 100 people were lost.
There are 7,042 left.
It's okay, more than 1,200 people were lost along the way, which is much better than the departure of more than 8,000 people in Dace, and only 6,000 people were left when they arrived at the destination.
Then comes the key to this battle, hit the law as fast as possible!
At sunset, there were about two small hills from the entrance of the mountain, in Jia Hui's big tent.
"Next, our next target is here."
The small wooden stick in Jia Hui's hand was dotted on the map.
Amendments.
"This city is choking our eastward march, and if we don't pull out the garrison here, or bypass it, we will all become passive.
Marching on the steppe, no matter what, traces of a large-scale march will leak out, and when the time comes, the garrison of the revised rules will definitely track us down, and at the same time send people to report the news, and it is impossible to harass day and night, so to sum up, we must pull out the defenders here. ”
Jia Hui raised his head and looked around at the commanders of the various departments.
"But you don't need to worry, now that all the troops on the plateau have been sent to Gansu and Shudi, the number of defenders is definitely not much, after all, it is a small city, and the five hundred people will be decided.
There's no time left to prepare, so avoid long nights and dreams, just tonight.
Set off tonight, 4,000 people with two horses, and change the rules in a hurry! ”
Jia Hui turned around and walked to the folding table and sat down on the chair.
"Generals obey orders!"
"The last general!"
"Niu Zhao, Shui Che, where is Ma Lin!"
"The end will be here!"
"The three of you lead your troops to follow the headquarters of our Chinese army, and you must go out tonight, and you must rush to the change before three o'clock in the ugly hour, surround the southeast, north, and south, and don't get rid of an enemy!"
After arranging the attack team, Jia Hui turned his head and gave the order to follow up the team.
"Shi Yuanxiu listens to the order!"
"The last general!"
"With Shi Yuanxiu's remaining 3,000 soldiers and horses and a supply of supplies, set off at the end of the day, and be sure to arrive at the time to change the rules."
"The last general commands!"
"Well, in half an hour, ask others if you don't understand, and if you don't understand, come and ask me, the rush troops will eat on time tonight, okay, let's go back and prepare."
Everyone agreed and left the camp, and Jia Hui checked the equipment one last time, then got into the sleeping bag and forced him to sleep.
This is the ability he has cultivated in the Anxi army, forcing himself to sleep during his free time in the middle of the battle or before the battle, so that he can recover his energy as much as possible.
Hai time.
Jia Hui was woken up, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Chen Jingyuan.
"Brother Hun, it's time, get up and eat."
Jia Hui looked at him blankly, and after five or six sucks, he came back to his senses.
"It's time, let's go, let's eat."
It's rare to cook on an open fire, anyway, at night, there are also two small hills in the way, and others can't see it.
After eating a few pieces of boiled beef and a small piece of candy stick, Jia Hui and the soldiers stopped.
Seeing that they are going to war, of course these experienced fighters will not eat all their fill, not to mention the impact on the state, they will not be able to pass this level if they run at night on horseback.
I'll spit it out to you right away.jpg
Jia Hui wiped her mouth and hands and stood up.
Everyone looked at him.
"I won't talk about the superfluous, the brothers are all old soldiers, I'll just say a little, change is a point that we must pull out when we go east, and it is also the first battle of our eight classics, if the brothers still want to surprise the achievements of Razang Khan to get promoted and make a fortune, this battle will be fought for me, after speaking, ready to go!"
Isn't this what the brothers have endured so much to get promoted?
Or General Jia understands us, can deal with it!
If you talk about the righteousness of the family and the country, everyone still doesn't dare to follow him.
Morale skyrocketed.
Shi Yuanxiu helped Jia Hui put on a straight-fitting long armor, put on a shoulder armor, and tied a cowhide belt full of small objects to Jia Hui's waist. Finally, he inserted six spears into the spear sleeve on Jia Hui's back, and reached out to pull Jia Hui up.
This armor is between light armor and heavy armor in the arsenal of the Qi army, and it is the armor that Jia Hui wears most often.
Light armor is not enough defense for generals like him who always like to charge into battle, and heavy armor is not flexible enough and laborious, Jia Hui is tired of playing for half an hour at most when he wears heavy armor, and he can fight for two hours when he wears medium armor. Except for the armor cavalry that was worn when he rushed into battle, Jia Hui didn't move.
As for the light armor, the defense area is not enough, it is a clump of iron and a layer of cowhide, and there are even pigskins for cutting corners, this kind of armor is already very good for ordinary foot soldiers, but Jia Hui doesn't dare to wear it.
This middle armor, coupled with the top-quality Ili horse that Jia Hui captured from the sweat tent of Dihua City, was not weaker than other cavalry wearing light armor and riding Hequ horses.
Daqi's cotton production is insufficient, not enough to point out the technology of cotton armor, but it has already obtained the famous cotton producing area of the Western Regions, and the preconditions are sufficient, Jia Hui is ready to take time to study it.
Squatting, turning, lifting legs, jumping, Jia Hui began to check the state after putting on the armor.
"Yuan Xiu, the three thousand people left behind will be handed over to you, if there is anything, you and Chen Si will discuss it, and when there is a disagreement, you will be the main person."
Jia Hui felt that the armor was in perfect condition, and turned to Shi Yuanxiu and said.
Chen Jingyuan, who was on the side, pursed his lips and promised with Shi Yuanxiu.
It is still clear how many pounds and taels he has.
Jia Hui nodded and walked out of the tent.
The four thousand soldiers also helped each other put on their armor, and they were already standing in line consciously.
Well, eating and wearing armor takes less than half an hour.
If you change to the guards in the mainland, you can't wear armor if you don't delay for an hour.
If only their armor could still be worn.
Seeing Jia Hui come out of the tent, everyone who was still whispering also closed their mouths.
Jia Hui nodded, rode on the Ili horse led by Liu Yu, and whipped his horse.
"Let's go!"
。。。。。。
Changed to be stationed in Qianhu Tenzin today a little flustered, the moonless night made him inexplicably irritable, stood up and came to the table, a bottle of wine in his stomach, and lay back on the bed, still unable to sleep, so he dressed and prepared to go to the yard for a walk.
Ten miles away, an army lurked in the night.
To be on the safe side, Jia Hui ordered someone to extinguish the torches.
It took nearly two hours to get here from the mountain pass.
Jia Hui sat quietly on the mazah, this thing was assembled from a few wooden sticks, and it was very light.
The troops have already changed their horses in advance.
There was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the army began to be on alert, and when it appeared in front of them, the army breathed a sigh of relief.
It's their own night and Asr.
There are three levels of scouts in Daqi, from low to high, they are scouts, scouts, and nights.
Ye Bushu is the most elite scout, all of them are strong in martial arts, with unique skills, and even in the Taizu Taizong when he overwhelmed the embroidered guard, rushed to assassinate the anti-king in front of him, and shocked the world.
As long as the night doesn't take it back, it's not a big deal.
The scary thing is that I didn't collect any of them at night and didn't come back.
The older one didn't come to Jia Hui and whispered a few words, and Jia Hui stood up from the maza.
"Horseshoe wrap, chew." The heads of the departments who heard the order whispered orders to those behind them, and then to the people.
After a while, when the last voice also disappeared, Jia Hui ordered to be relieved.
Next, I will run ten miles, and until the end of the battle, I will not have time to solve personal physiological problems.
In a commotion, Jia Hui stepped on the war horse with an expressionless face and held the wooden ball in his mouth.
There is no condition to prepare a plum.
Jia Hui held his breath and hummed behind him, and rushed out with a wave of his horsewhip and followed Ye Bushu.
The army behind followed suit, riding horses and following suit.
In the end, the man who left a general flag took care of the more than 4,000 war horses that had been replaced.
。。。。。。
The city is actually better called a town, the area is not large, but the location is very important, here is one of the mountain passes that stifle the Karakoram mountains, even if the whole country mobilizes to invade the east, there is still a thousand garrisons stationed here.
Wolves and bears are the ones who invade the place more often than humans.
A few Tibetan soldiers huddled in a small house on duty, not only wolves and bears could kill, but the cold wind at night was not too much.
All but the youngest was awake, and everyone was asleep. At this time, it was the time of yin, and it was the moment when people were most tired, and the little soldiers were constantly nodding their heads.
A muffled sound came, getting closer and closer.
A veteran who was cowering in the corner suddenly got up, knelt down again, put his ear to the ground, got up suddenly, and slapped the confused soldier.
"What to sleep, most of the men and horses are coming from the west, and the enemy is attacking!"
The little soldier came to his senses in an instant, got up and kicked the veteran to wake up the rest of the people.
The soldiers rushed out of the post in a panic and stood there shouting.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, enemy attack!"
The veteran didn't have time to hold the soldier, slapped his thigh and returned to the outpost, gritted his teeth and closed the door, and locked the room with a latch, and the rest of the people woke up and heard a muffled sound. Seeing the veteran lock the door, the others also knew what was going on, and they all shrank back to keep themselves from going above the lookout.
It took less than ten breaths from the time the soldier rushed out to the time the veteran locked the door.
The muffled sound passed against the door, and the duck's voice in the voice-changing period came to an abrupt end.
A dull sound shook the hearts of a room, and fear filled the entire chest.
I don't know how long later, the muffled sound gradually faded away, and the young soldiers looked at the old soldier, seeing that he still didn't move, and they also turned off the idea of going out to have a look.
A night guard leaned against the wall to feel the heartbeat of several people, and looked playfully at the older seniors behind him, who shook his head and walked into the town.
The night that was clinging to the wall was silently smiled, brewed for a while, spat into the lookout hole, and walked towards the seniors.
Inside the wall, the veteran pressed a pawn and covered his mouth with his right hand to prevent him from making a sound.
The young pawns didn't dare to move, their eyes fixed on the legs of the pressed pawns.
A thick piece of phlegm, to be exact.
A commotion came from the pawn under him and drifted into the veteran's nose, and the veteran remained silent.
When he felt that he was no longer trembling, he finally calmed down, and the veteran breathed a sigh of relief and quietly returned to his position.
Survived for the time being, listening to this movement, the thousand households to which he belonged were finished.
The enemy did not kill them on the spot, it seems that their lives were saved, and the specific situation depends on how the enemy's commander arranges it.
