Zhan Ying is still the leader of the Huotou Army. The Tianhu Guard to which he belongs is the largest and most powerful army among the Sixteen Guards in Zhenxi. All food and baggage are transported across the Yangtze River by ship, and the cavalry does not move. This time Tianhu Guards
The Tiger Guards who came to Xiangxi were all infantrymen guarding the city. They had been running for more than two months relying on their feet. They marched 120 miles every day. This was necessary because they could only run to the next ship.
code
Food supplies were only available at the head of the army. The armor and swords of each warrior were all transported in advance by large ships. He only had a water bag, a pair of spare shoes, and not even a dry biscuit. Carrying a big pot on his back, Zhan Ying ran
It was very hard. Under the rapid march, the Huotou Army was the hardest. During the daily rest, the army could rest in place, while the Huotou Army had to start making fires to make food to ensure the food supply of the army. It was still dark in the morning before the army set off.
Before, the meals must be accurate
Just be ready.
Fortunately, this time, with the thousands of miles of reinforcements, the court's supplies in all aspects have been opened up. As soon as they arrive at the dock, food will be ready, so they don't have to cook for the fire-headed soldiers.
Calculating the distance, we should have reached the western part of Xiangxi. In at most twenty days, we can reach the northern part of Yingzui Cliff.
I was sweating profusely while running, and suddenly I saw two fairies in the sky, standing on the fairy sword and looking down.
Zhan Ying was immediately envious to death. These cultivators who traveled high and low were still comfortable, flying with swords and flying thousands of miles a day, unlike big-headed soldiers like himself who could only rely on their feet to measure the great rivers and mountains step by step.
Seeing the two fairies in the sky staying for a while and then flying towards Xiangxi, Zhan Ying heard a group of shirtless and jogging soldiers around him start to comment on which of the two fairies was more beautiful.
These are all uneducated and reckless men. Naturally, don’t expect to be elegant in their speech. They are full of foul language. Soon it was spread that if you can marry one and become a mother-in-law, it will be worth it even if you lose thirty years on your life...
Zhan Ying looked down upon these big-headed soldiers. He felt that he had great talents, unlike the big-headed soldiers around him who could drool at the back of the fairy.
Nowadays, we are in troubled times, and they say that heroes emerge from troubled times, and I can definitely fight in these troubled times.
Until dusk, today's march finally ended, and the millions of troops began to rest on the spot. Countless oxcarts immediately poured out of the dock, and various types of steamed buns, flatbreads, and pots of fatty meat slices were sent to various places.
Camp. This is the most pleasant moment for Zhan Ying every day, and it is also the most comfortable moment for all soldiers. After a day of rapid march, they are already exhausted. Naturally, they are full of food, which is white flour steamed buns, or rice that does not fall with chopsticks. Everyone is strong.
As a soldier, he naturally has a good appetite and does not eat six or seven steamed buns per meal.
Two pieces of fat meat are not enough for the more than a hundred miles traveled in one day.
After a long journey, a foot bath in hot water is a must. This is also the most miserable time for the entire military camp.
Everyone's feet were covered in blood blisters, and when they were hit by hot water, pig-like screams could be heard from the military camp.
Zhan Ying had never screamed before. He was soaking his feet while reading a thick book by the firelight. This was the strategy of war given to him by Wang Laosan a few months ago before he left. It was handwritten by Moye Fairy Li Tielan, and it was definitely the best in China.
The existence of equity capital.
Zhan Ying had never heard of the name Li Tielan and didn't care about it. What he cared about were the military techniques recorded in the book.
The art of war is not directed against the mortal armies, but against the six armies of heaven.
Every night when he had a rest, he would take out this book and study it.
The weather was very good tonight, and no tents were set up. All the sergeants, seven or eight, sat around a campfire. No one spoke. After soaking their feet, they immediately leaned back and slept until the horn sounded tomorrow.
Yang Zhentian was the last one to sleep every day. As long as the weather was fine at night, he would ride a tall horse and patrol the camp.
These soldiers didn't know what they were going to face next. How could he, as the commander, not know? But he wasn't too worried. Nine of his sixteen guards were now transferred from the front line of Yumen Pass. Even if Hanyang King Zhao Shiqu's tens of millions of troops and his
They are all idiots. The millions of troops they brought are not vegetarians. As for the border troops, how can they not fight a few battles with the cavalry of the Western Regions? Especially
He is the Tianhu Guard among the Sixteen Guards, and he is an elite in hundreds of battles.
He had seen the topographical map of Yingzui'er. It was really a dangerous natural chasm. He felt that His Majesty the Emperor was overly worried. As long as his Tianhu Guards were stationed at Yingzui'er Cliff, it would definitely be a dangerous place that could not be accessed by one man.
Even if the number of enemies exceeds tens of millions, they can still be killed cleanly.
Every time Yang Zhentian inspects the camp, he can always see a fire-headed sergeant reading a book amidst countless snores.
He knew that man, he seemed to be called Zhan Ying. When he first joined the army, he recommended himself to him, saying that as long as he was given one hundred thousand cavalry, he could sweep across the Western Regions, help His Majesty expand the territory, and bring the Western Regions and the northwest prairie into the imperial court.
territory.
This arrogant guy.
Yang Zhentian has always been disgusted with arrogant people, so he demoted this war hero to the Huotou Army.
A few months ago, a fairy with a high level of cultivation came to Yumen Pass and asked him about this war hero. He also said that this war hero was a leading wizard and could be the general marshal of the world's soldiers and horses.
That's ridiculous. Does that guy have any other abilities besides being arrogant?
Yang Zhentian did not tell Fairy Liuyun about the existence of Zhan Ying. Now that the catastrophe is coming and the world is in turmoil, if His Majesty really wants to appoint a general of the world's soldiers and horses, it must be himself. How can it be the turn of the Fire-headed Army?
Seeing Yang Zhentian coming on horseback to patrol, Zhan Ying immediately stood up. Just as he was about to come over, he was blocked by a dozen soldiers in black armor and holding long qi that came out from behind Yang Zhentian. He would never let him go.
Close to within ten feet of the general.
Zhan Ying said loudly: "General, I have some opinions on the current situation, and I want to report it to the general...general..."
Yang Zhentian didn't even look at him seriously, and rode away slowly and leisurely on his tall horse.
Zhan Ying was very disappointed, but what could he do? He was just the lowest fire-headed soldier in this army.
Ever since he learned that he would be transferred to Yingzui Cliff in western Hunan, Zhan Ying began to study the map and the art of war given to him by Wang Laosan.
He felt that although the Eagle's Mouth Cliff was a dangerous natural chasm, it was still very difficult to block the six legions of the Heavenly Realm.
Yingzui Cliff is not Yumenguan. Yingzui Cliff is just a line of defense. The second line of defense must be extended hundreds of miles to the north, near Junshan Dongting Lake.
But Yumen Pass is different. Even if Yumen Pass and Iron Gate Pass are lost, there are Motian Cliff and Motian Ridge behind.
If he were asked to guard Yingzui Cliff, he would push his left and right wings at least thirty miles south, forming horns with Wangfu Ridge in the southeast and Suishi Peak in the southwest, which could be used to attack or defend. After all, if you just defend blindly, then you can't
The solid defense lines have been breached. However, judging from the reports coming from the court every day, all the troops are concentrated on the line of Yingzui Cliff, which is quite dangerous.
