Chapter 697: Bravely championing the three armies, unparalleled in the world(2/2)
After all, although the road transportation system has been greatly improved, it is still not enough to accommodate tens of thousands of troops passing through at once.
A march of this scale would proceed in batches, each arriving at the specified place according to the specified time.
The so-called delayed military schedule refers to the failure to arrive on time.
All the counties, counties, markets and towns encountered along the way were passed by without entering, and all the troops were either in a hurry or on their way.
It was Huo Qubing's first time to lead troops into battle, so he naturally needed to establish his authority. Anyone who dared to delay the military term at this time would definitely be used to scare monkeys.
One person and five horses can travel six hundred miles in three days, and a thousand miles in five days.
On the seventh day, Huo Qubing led the Yulin Army to Lingjusai (Lanzhou).
Many horses were lost due to the rapid march along the way.
But it doesn't matter, the Shaofu has the largest horse herding prison in the entire Han Dynasty here in Lingjusai.
There are at least 100,000 horses in many horse farms around Lingju Sai, and tens of thousands of horses can be provided for military use at any time.
Huo Qubing was also unambiguous. After two days of slight repairs, he collected 30,000 horses from various horse farms, distributed them to various ministries, and set off on the journey again.
Beyond Lingjusai lies the Yellow River, where the Han Dynasty built a pontoon bridge across the Yellow River.
Tens of thousands of cavalry and an even larger group of pack horses crossed the Yellow River in a mighty manner.
On the other side of the river, you can see the majestic Qilian Mountains.
At the foot of the mountain, there is endless green grassland.
Herdsmen drove herds of cattle and sheep around leisurely on the grassland.
