Chotu Khan was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.
Twenty thousand people is not a small number. So many people rushed over the Kunlun Mountains, chasing the officers and soldiers of the cavalry division in front and running towards the north.
After running only twenty miles, the Khalkha people were overtaken. Even though they, the Mongolians from Mobei, were in good physical condition, long-distance running required skills and endurance, which were not directly related to physical strength.
Their lungs felt like they were on fire, and their chests whirred like bellows. Many people gasped and collapsed on the roadside. People also distanced themselves. The team of 20,000 people stretched out for a full five miles.
road.
There were stragglers everywhere. Fortunately, there was a baggage team behind us, driving yaks and dragging the supply convoy.
These baggage trains will take in these stragglers.
Otherwise, in this environment, it is possible to die of freezing and starvation. It will be very cold when the sun goes down. There are also blizzards from time to time.
Once a person is alone, wild animals will attack in the middle of the night. The prairie wolves here are very powerful.
After running fifty miles, Wang Hao ordered not to run anymore.
Everyone lay down and rested for an hour, drinking water and eating solid food.
We have come down from the Kunlun Mountain Pass here. The altitude is much lower. It is just suitable for repairing.
Deputy Commander Tang Jian watched the cooks urgently light fires, cook hot soup, and prepare to provide hot food to the rested officers and soldiers. In the Yang family's army, those who can serve as cooks are first-class soldiers. They pay hard
His physical strength is much greater than that of ordinary soldiers.
For example, now, they are carrying marching pots and various supplies and running with them. When other soldiers can rest, they have to bury the pots and make rice immediately without resting. They are not physically fit enough to keep up.
"Master, are you planning to wait for them to catch up?" Tang Jian asked.
Wang Hao nodded and said: "We run, they chase, and they have not received professional long-distance running training. Unlike us, who run five kilometers a day in full gear. I guess they have distanced themselves long ago."
Tang Jian nodded and said in agreement: "Definitely, our officers and soldiers were the same when we first started running. They were several miles apart. The ones in front were also out of breath."
Wang Hao smiled and said: "Let's rest for a while and wait for them to catch up. I estimate that the vanguard only has five or six thousand people who can survive, and they are running so fast that they are almost useless. It's time to give them a good beating."
Tang Jian also laughed. Wang Hao's move was as cruel as when he fought with the gangsters in the imperial capital.
When they first stayed in the Wei Palace, when the Xinghe regiment was on vacation, they ran out to play. They often clashed with the ruthless tigers in the capital. It's not that these soldiers didn't give money to buy things, or bullied others. This one was wearing a white helmet.
If you find it, you will be beaten with a military stick.
The main reason is that I can't stand these local snakes bullying good people. I usually lead the troops to pay attention to ideological education, and they are full of positive energy. As a result, these officers and soldiers are very high-spirited and do not want to bury the problem.
In order to improve morale and let the officers and soldiers have fun in the midst of hardship, Yang Fan introduced the military song system.
If nothing happens, let everyone sing.
Through the lyrics, they can learn military regulations and improve their ideological level. What they like to sing most is the hero song. Why should they roar when there is injustice on the road...
They are all young men, and they are at a passionate age. They don't see injustice in the world. Every time they encounter them, they beat the rogues to a pulp.
One time, Wang Hao and Tang Jian just beat up a naughty boy who was teasing his young wife. The naughty boy ran and shouted, "You two Qiu Ba, please wait for me. I'm going to shake you. If you have the guts, don't run away. Wait for me."
Tang Jian sneered and said, "You coward, look at your arrogance, how many people can you win over?"
"There are more than fifty or sixty people. When the time comes, I will beat the shit out of both of you." The tiger shouted as he ran. This is called a situation that can't be lost. In the capital city, everyone on the ground pays attention to this.
.
Tang Jian sneered: "Uncle, I'm not going anywhere. I'm just waiting for you here. If you don't come, you will be my grandson."
As he spoke, he took a bench at the pear stall next to him and sat down here.
As a result, more than 60 people actually came and rushed over with sticks. At this time, the tiger was also very awesome and shouted: "Give these two grandsons back to me for a discount."
When Wang Hao noticed something was wrong, he picked up Tang Jian who was still in a daze and ran away.
They were used to long-distance running, so they deliberately hung up these people to make them feel like they would catch up immediately. As a result, they widened the distance, and there were only a dozen people left in front, still panting and stumbling. Wang Hao and
Tang Jian suddenly rushed forward and beat the shit out of them.
Then, unexpectedly, he was caught by the White Steel Helmet. There was a riot and a fight, but no one was killed or injured. Remember to wait for the master to deal with it. At that time, Yang Fan was in love with Xiao Niangpi, and the fight was heated for several days.
Not going back to Jingshan Military Camp.
When Yang Fan comes, focus on dealing with those who violate laws and discipline during this period. For fights with gangsters, the general process is as follows. First, ask whether you lost or won.
If these bastards answer the master, they say they won the battle.
The master would scold them and tell them to get lost.
If you say we lost the fight, what! We lost the fight.
The master was furious, wasn't this embarrassing to me?
Hit him with a military stick! Hit him hard.
Immediately, the military police rushed in like wolves and tigers, dragging these unlucky guys down. They pulled them to the front of the queue, took off their pants and pressed them on a long stool.
Then came a series of crackling beatings, which made these bastards call each other father and mother. I promised heaven and earth that I would beat the shit out of those scoundrels next time.
Obviously, Wang Hao has this idea now. Since Quatu Khan's 20,000 troops have already fled, it is better to wait for their vanguard here and then attack them hard.
I'm retreating, but you still dare to chase me. I'm going against you. Let's give Chhotu Khan a show of strength and let them know that Lord Ma has three eyes and is not someone to be trifled with.
But the three corpse gods jumped up in anger, and the five or six thousand defeated troops could not catch up.
He kept cursing and urging his subordinates to chase him quickly! If he catches up, he will be rewarded.
Each person is given a bag of kumiss.
Mongolians like to drink. When they heard that the Great Khan had given mare kumis as a reward, they immediately became energetic. They all lifted up their exhausted bodies and continued to pursue forward.
From a distance, I saw a small hill in front of me. The Tang-Tibet Ancient Road passed between the two small hills. But Tuhan shouted loudly, "Hurry up, don't let them run away, hurry up and chase them."
Quetu Khan understood that it was best to eliminate these people in field battles. If the losses in siege were too great, it would not be as cost-effective as field battles. He calculated in his mind that Wang Hao only had more than 11,000 people. Now that he had 9,000 people, he would lose a lot at the mountain pass.
, there are only 6,000 left. Including battle losses, stragglers, deserters, and runaways along the way, it is estimated that there are only more than 4,000 people.
With 20,000 of them, it is not difficult to kill them.
What excites him the most is that at this moment, Xining City obviously has only 2,000 people left. If he eliminates Wang Hao's main force in the field battle and surrounds Xining, it will be as easy as poking around.
He has been in Qinghai for so long, and this is the first time he has the opportunity to occupy the Hehuang Valley. How could he not be excited? This is the only agricultural area in Qinghai, with a total of 13 counties.
