Chapter 17 Night Run(1/2)
After three days of staying up day and night, and killing all the sentries along the way, Jia Huibu finally walked out of the mountains.
It’s not easy.
After counting the number of people, more than a hundred people were lost.
There are 7042 people left.
Not bad, we lost more than 1,200 people along the way, which is much better than setting out with more than 8,000 people and arriving at the destination with only 6,000 people left.
Next is the key to this battle, attack the logic as quickly as possible!
At sunset, there are about two hills away 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 clicked on the map.
Change the rules.
"This city controls our eastward route. If we don't remove the garrison here, or go around it, we will become passive.
No matter how we march on the grassland, traces of a large-scale march will leak out. When the time comes, the garrison of the reform will definitely track us and send people to report the news. We will not be able to escape if we are harassed day and night. To sum up, we
The defenders here must be removed."
Jia Hui raised his head and looked around at the various commanders.
"But you don't need to worry. Now all the troops on the plateau have been sent to Gansu and Shu. The number of defenders is definitely not large. After all, it is a small town. Five hundred people can decide the future.
There is no time to prepare. To avoid a long night and many dreams, tonight is the time.
Set off at midnight tonight, with four thousand men and two horses, to attack quickly and change the direction!"
Jia Hui turned around and walked to the folding table and sat on the chair.
"Generals, listen to your orders!"
"The end is here!"
"Niu Zhao, the water is clear, where is Ma Lin!"
"The end is here!"
"The three of you will lead your troops to follow our Chinese Army Headquarters. They will be dispatched at midnight tonight. You must rush to Gaize before three o'clock in the morning and surround the north, south, south, and south. Don't let any enemy escape!"
After arranging the attack team, Jia Hui turned around and gave the order to follow up the team.
"Shi Yuanxiu listens to the order!"
"The end is here!"
"Take Shi Yuanxiu and lead the remaining three thousand soldiers and horses and a certain amount of supplies to set off at Mao hour. We must arrive at Gaize at the end of the day."
"The last general takes command!"
"Well, within half an hour, if you don't understand, ask other people. If you still don't understand, come and ask me. The assault force will eat on time at Hai hour tonight. Okay, let's go back and make preparations."
Everyone agreed and left the camp. Jia Hui checked the equipment one last time, then got into his sleeping bag and forced himself to sleep.
This is a skill he developed in the Anxi Army. During the idle period during the battle or before the battle, he forces himself to sleep to restore his energy as much as possible.
Haishi.
Jia Hui was woken up and when he looked up, it was Chen Jingyuan.
"Brother Hui, it's midnight, get up and eat."
Jia Hui looked at him blankly, and after five or six puffs, he came back to his senses.
"It's Haishi, let's go and eat."
It's rare to have an open fire to cook, since it's night anyway, and there are two hills blocking it, so no one else can see it.
After eating a few pieces of boiled beef and a small candy bar, which was about half full, Jia Hui and the soldiers stopped.
Seeing that they are about to go to war, these experienced warriors will certainly not eat enough. Not only will it affect their condition, they will not be able to pass the test of running 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 say anything superfluous. Brothers are all veterans. Let me just say one thing. Reform is a point that must be eliminated in our eastward march. It is also our first serious battle. Brothers.
If you still want to get promoted and make a fortune thanks to the surprise attack on Lhasang Khan, then give me a good fight. Now that I’ve finished speaking, get ready to go!”
To get promoted and make a fortune, isn't this why the brothers have endured so much hardship?
General Jia still understands us and can deal with us!
If he talks about the righteousness of his family and country, no one dares to talk to him.
Morale soared.
Shi Yuanxiu's kidnapper put on a long straight armor and shoulder armor, and tied a cowhide belt full of small objects around Jia Hui's waist. Finally, he inserted six throwing spears into the throwing spear on Jia Hui's back.
In the spear holster, he stretched out his hand and pulled Jia Hui up.
This armor is between light armor and heavy armor in the arsenal of the Qi army. It is the armor Jia Hui wears most often.
Light armor does not have enough defense for a general like him who always likes to charge into battle, and heavy armor is not flexible enough and laborious. Jia Hui wears heavy armor and can fight for up to half an hour before getting tired, while wearing medium armor can last for two hours.
.Except for being penetrated when he led his armored cavalry into the formation, Jia Hui didn't even move.
As for the light armor, the defensive area is not enough. It is just a bunch of iron sheets and a layer of cowhide. Some of the cut corners are even made of pigskin. This kind of armor is already very good for ordinary infantry, but Jia Hui did not dare to wear it.
.
With this medium armor and the top-quality Ili horse captured by Jia Hui from the Dihua City sweat tent, his speed is not weaker than other cavalry wearing light armor and riding Hequ horses.
The cotton production in Daqi is not enough to reveal the technology of cotton armor, but the famous cotton producing area of the Western Region has been obtained, and the prerequisites are sufficient. Jia Hui is ready to take the time to study it.
Squatting up, turning around, lifting his legs, and jumping, Jia Hui began to check the condition after wearing the armor.
"Yuan Xiu, the three thousand people left behind will be left to you. If anything happens, you and Chen Si can discuss it. If there are disagreements, you will take the lead."
Jia Hui felt that the armor was in perfect condition, turned around and said to Shi Yuanxiu.
Chen Jingyuan curled his lips and agreed with Shi Yuanxiu.
He still knows how much he weighs.
Jia Hui nodded and walked out of the tent.
The four thousand warriors also helped each other put on their armor and stood in line consciously.
Well, it takes less than half an hour to eat and wear armor.
If you were a guard soldier from the mainland, you wouldn't be able to put on your armor without waiting for an hour.
If their armor can still be worn.
Seeing Jia Hui come out of the tent, everyone who was whispering also shut up.
Jia Hui nodded, mounted the Yili horse brought by Liu Wei, and pointed the whip.
"Let's go!"
Tenzin, who was then stationed at Qianhu, was a little flustered today, and the moonless night made him even more inexplicably irritable. He stood up and came to the table, drank a bottle of wine, and lay back on the bed. Still unable to sleep, he got dressed and got ready.
Go for a walk in the yard.
Ten miles away from Gai Ze, an army lurked in the dark.
To be on the safe side, Jia Hui ordered people to put out the torches.
It took nearly two hours to rush from the mountain pass to this point.
Jia Hui sat quietly on the horse, which was assembled from a few wooden sticks and was very light.
The troops have already changed their horses in advance.
There was a sound of horse hooves in the distance, and the army began to be alert. When it appeared in front of them, the army breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s our own Ye Bu Sheng and Asir.
There are three levels of scouts in Daqi, from low to high: scouts, scouts, and night guards.
Ye Bushou is the most elite scout. They are all highly skilled in martial arts and possess unique skills. During the reign of Emperor Taizu Taizong, he even overpowered the Xiuyi Guards and rushed in front of them to assassinate the rebel king, making him famous throughout the world.
As long as Ye doesn't take it back, it won't be a big deal.
The scary thing is that even if you don’t collect them all night, no one will come back.
The elder Ye Bushou came to Jia Hui and whispered a few words, and Jia Hui stood up from the horse.
"Wrap the horse's hoof in cloth and put on the bit." After hearing the order, the managers of each department whispered the order to the people behind them, and then passed it on from person to person.
There was a buzzing sound, and when the last sound disappeared, Jia Hui ordered to relieve himself.
Next, I have to run ten miles and until the end of the battle, I won’t have time to solve my personal physical problems.
Filled with rage, Jia Hui climbed onto his horse without expression and took the wooden ball in his mouth.
