Han Xin kept stimulating his soldiers with words.

It's impossible not to do this, because Han Xinxin has some tricks up his sleeve.

Although Wang Buxu also used this trick back then, he controlled the number of people very strictly.

Although there didn't seem to be many people there at first, it turned out that the original choice was extremely correct.

First there were several thousand people, and after several months of training, they gradually formed rules and gathered combat effectiveness, and then expanded further.

And these first few thousand people played a big role in the subsequent batches of army expansion.

But Han Xin doesn't have this opportunity now. He only has a thousand soldiers who can be considered veterans among veterans.

Among the nearly 80,000 people below, only less than 5,000 have experienced staying in military camps for more than two consecutive months.

Coupled with the method he adopted, it was destined that he would not be able to learn from Wang Buxu's experience in the path he took.

As the army advanced, there were more and more Chu army scouts around.

Everyone has the scout unit, but no one can play it as thoroughly and as far as the Han army.

Of course, strictly speaking, the scouts of the Han army are divided into two categories.

One type is the legendary scouts outside now, and the other type is the scouts in the traditional sense.

These scouts will not stray too far from the army.

Depending on the war situation and the needs of the war situation, the scouts should keep a distance of one to three days from the main force.

In extreme cases, it will be released farther, and according to the scout's maneuverability, it is probably between 100 and 140 miles a day.

You can run no matter how far you go, but you can't always push it to the upper limit, otherwise the probability of problems will increase.

In addition, the use of traditional scouts is also very knowledgeable.

In order to ensure the relative safety of the army, the scouts must be cast out like a net.

The mission of the scouts is not only to explore the enemy's terrain, but also to engage in small-scale battles with enemy scouts.

Therefore, those who can serve as scouts are the elites in the army.

At this moment, Han Xin's scouts were the soldiers beside him.

Han Xin sent 500 soldiers out to serve as scouts at one go, and they did not need to run too far, because it was completely unnecessary and they could reach the Chu army's camp in less than a day.

This meant he had at least half a day to prepare for whatever happened next.

"General, the enemy has made a defensive posture, and sent people to the north and south directions respectively. We chased for a while, but we couldn't catch up!" When he was about twenty miles away from the Chu army's camp, Han Xin received the message.

Scout's report.

"Is there a camp?" Han Xin asked.

"Yes, it is tall and solid. The enemy troops rely on the camp to set up defenses. With our current preparations, it will not be easy to capture the camp." said the scout.

"Yeah!" Han Xin nodded.

There is a camp, and I know this situation.

But the ideal situation is to draw the opponent out to fight in the field.

But the fact is that the opponent is not a fool. Why would he give up his ready-made bunker and come out to fight with you?

We don't have many troops and our morale is not high. What's the difference between running away and dying?

"Speed ​​up the march and reach the enemy's camp within half an hour!" Han Xin ordered directly.

With a distance of twenty miles and half an hour, the intensity of this march is not weak, not to mention that the army is still carrying a large amount of supplies at this moment.

Of course, without considering supplies, there is no problem in traveling twenty miles in half an hour.

In the Qin Dynasty, one mile was equal to 415 meters, and twenty miles was equal to 8,300 meters. If you put this result in future generations, you would definitely fail, and even a non-commissioned officer would not sign with you.

But now, it is considered a forced march.

Comparing the two, in terms of nutrition, there is no comparison between the present and future generations, although people today eat more.

What's more, future generations will not let you run ten kilometers every day.

This is a march with a scale of tens of thousands of people. It does not mean that you set off, reach the key points, and get stuck in time.

And Han Xin's request is obviously aimed at the entire group.

An additional requirement for walking twenty miles in half an hour is to be able to go into battle immediately.

"No!" Everyone agreed with hesitant expressions.

Although they also want to say something, is the intensity too high?

But there are naturally military rules in the army. Han Xin is the general here, and what he says now is military order.

As for the consequences of disobeying military orders on the battlefield, they all know it without Han Xin popularizing it.

All the families in the world are still very consistent in this regard.

What followed was a hard journey for tens of thousands of disheveled Han troops.

Under the urging of the officers, each one of them continued to speed up their pace.

For a moment, the supplies were left behind.

But these are not important. The battlefield is less than forty miles away from Chengfu. This distance is nothing on the battlefield.

If something really goes wrong, the army will be able to come back in half a day.

Therefore, bringing supplies is not because you think you will be cut off, but simply because you don’t want to run back and forth. It’s that simple.

When he was still ten miles away from the enemy camp, Han Xin began to issue military orders continuously.

First, the outflanking troops broke away from their formation and ran towards their respective fighting positions.

In the end, there were only 20,000 people left in the formation, and Han Xin began to order the formation of battle formations during the march.

This situation is not commonly used, but Han Xin does not want to give up.

Assembling battle formations during the march will slow down the marching speed, but it also avoids having to assemble battle formations after arriving at the position.

This allows for immediate combat without giving the opponent more time to destroy their assembly formation.

As for marching and fighting, the two sides agreed on a location, set up their formations, and then gave the order to start fighting.

It's just bullshit.

Only a fool would play with you like this.

Any general with a sane mind would order his troops to attack if he saw you calmly setting up your formation in front of him.

At this time, the side that is setting up the formation basically has no combat effectiveness. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as being defeated in one blow.

Therefore, the general routine is to stop and set up a formation ten miles away from the battlefield. If the opponent has cavalry, the distance will be further.

The army then advances in full combat formation.

Now the camp on the other side is huddled and dare not come out, so Han Xin doesn't need to worry about other problems.

It just so happened that we could take this opportunity to hone the troops, and in order to improve the combat effectiveness and execution ability of the troops as soon as possible, Han Xin also spent a lot of brain cells.

When they were five miles away, the Han soldiers could clearly see the Chu army's camp.

When he saw this camp, Han Xin smiled...

I am afraid that even the Chu army themselves would not have thought that they would lead their men to attack them.

Therefore, the camp set up by the Chu army was just an ordinary camp.
Chapter completed!
