Listening to Wu Hai's story, Shao Hongyuan's eyes shone brightly! Shen Tang's plan was thorough and surprising, and what's even more gratifying is that the situation has been achieved.
Next, as long as there are no accidents, they can defeat the Tibetan army step by step.
After hearing Wu Hai's question, Shao Hongyuan pondered for a moment, and then said in a solemn voice, "Now that we have enough food and grass for two days, my troops and horses only need to be repaired for two days, and then they can set off immediately!"
The fatigue of the consecutive days of fighting had made all the soldiers under Shao Hongyuan's command exhausted. Coupled with the lack of food and grass, they had already reached their limit.
However, these soldiers and horses are all veterans who followed Shao Hongyuan in the north and south. Therefore, there is enough food and grass now, and after two days of good rest, at least 70% to 80% of the combat strength can be restored.
"Okay, after those two days, you and I will join forces! These Tubo people have besieged the general for a long time, and now it's time to show them how powerful we are."
The Tibetan commander who besieged Shao Hongyuan's tribe was Mei Duo Ruijin, one of the four commanders! Seeing that the Song army was about to lose its hold, he really did not want to give up.
Therefore, they attacked for two consecutive days, but were stubbornly resisted by the Song army.
In addition, Dawa Tata's urging was very urgent, so even if he was unwilling, he could only lead his troops to retreat.
From Shima Town to the south, you can reach Jiading Prefecture about two hundred miles away.
However, there are mostly barren mountains and ridges between these two places, so the road is difficult to travel. In addition, the Tibetan army is all infantry, so it is estimated that it will take about three days to arrive.
"Urge the army to speed up as quickly as possible!"
Looking at the slowly advancing army, Medorijin frowned.
In fact, he could also understand that not only the Song army was extremely exhausted after these days of fighting, but even the soldiers and horses under his command were also extremely exhausted.
However, now that Jiading Prefecture is in crisis, he does not dare to delay at all.
After marching for a whole day, by sunset, the Tibetan army had marched eighty miles.
In this barren mountain, this is already a rare number.
Looking at the beleaguered soldiers, Medorijin shook his head helplessly. This mountain road is already difficult to travel. If we march at night, we will not be able to go very far at all, and accidents are likely to happen. Therefore, it is better to stay and rest for the time being. Night.
"There is a gentle land three miles ahead and it is adjacent to the water, which can be used as a place to camp.
Order the army to march quickly and set up camp!"
Medorigin gave the order.
When the army camped in the wild, they did not set up tents randomly.
For example, you should stay as close to a water source as possible to avoid being trapped and hungry.
In addition, the surrounding vision should be good, so that if there is a surprise attack by the enemy, you can have a certain reaction time.
In addition, even if it is a temporary camp, trenches must be dug or earth dams must be built around it. Even if it is the simplest, at least a fence must be built with wood around the camp as a precaution.
After the outer perimeter was tidied up, the entire camp continued to be set up layer by layer.
A large set and a small set are divided into areas according to the military's organizational structure.
Finally, a team of about ten people was formed.
Generally speaking, there will be ten soldiers in a camp, and each ten soldiers will be equipped with a set of pots and pans. In addition, other drinking water, reincarnation and other facilities also need to be set up.
Although it sounds tedious, this is the most basic skill for an army. Therefore, after reaching the designated position, the army under their command will set up camp step by step, and then bury the pot and make rice!
After running for a day, the soldiers were already tired. The smell of pots of rice porridge made many of them drowsy.
However, at this moment, the earth began to tremble slightly.
The look on Medorijin's face changed as he just entered the central military tent. The people in the ranks were naturally extremely sensitive to this sound, because such a sound of earth trembling could only occur if a large-scale cavalry was dispatched.
"Command the troops to guard and be on guard!"
As the order was issued, Medorekin also hurriedly walked out of the camp!
Climbing onto the high platform several feet high, Medoreijin stared intently! Only a moment later, the dark cavalry appeared in his sight.
This cavalry ran extremely fast, and in just the blink of an eye, it transformed from a black spot into a murderous cavalry force!
"hiss!"
Watching the march of the cavalry, Medo Ruijin was shocked! Although he still didn't know who it was, but just from the neatness of the army's march, it could be seen that this army was definitely an elite cavalry.
Nearly ten thousand war horses galloped, and apart from the uniform sound of horse hooves hitting the ground, there was no noise.
Moreover, although they were running extremely fast, their formation was not chaotic at all. No one rushed forward and no one fell behind.
"Report..."
A quick voice came, and then a soldier rushed to Medorijin.
"Commander, here are the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin, with a total of ten thousand people!"
Mei Duo Ruijin's expression changed. When Shen Tang led troops in Chengdu Mansion, there were tens of thousands of Jin soldiers following him. However, after Shen Tang left and Wang Huaichuan arrived, the Jin soldiers also left.
Now, why are the Jin soldiers here again?
Is it a conspiracy of the Song Dynasty, or is Shen Tang back?
If there were 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty, he would never care! The soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty have always been weak in combat power. Even if they were of the same number, they could not compare with the Tubo Erlang under his command.
But if it were the elite cavalry of the Jin Kingdom, it would be a completely different story.
Now the Jin Kingdom is almost at its most powerful, and the reputation of the Jin Kingdom's cavalry is well known to everyone. Although Medorei Jin is pretentious, he does not dare to underestimate the Jin Kingdom's cavalry.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!"
The flags were waving, and the Tibetan soldiers had no time to pay attention to the freshly prepared food. They quickly picked up their swords and took up their positions!
Brush! Brush! Brush!
Just when these cavalrymen were only two or three hundred steps away from meeting the enemy, suddenly, a hail of arrows rose above the heads of the cavalrymen, shooting in the direction of the camp...
The moment the arrows rained into the sky, these cavalrymen reined in their horses hard, then turned around and ran directly around the camp, with no intention of fighting at all!
Ah, ah, ah...
Caught off guard, some Tubo soldiers and horses closer to the edge of the camp were injured by arrows, but the arrows they fired back landed directly in the open space, causing no harm to these cavalry at all.
Looking at the retreating figure of this cavalry, Medoricin frowned. What do they want to do?
They fight but don't fight, but they are exposed on their own. What is their purpose?
"Send out a scouting horse to find out where this troop is going!"
The detective horse sent out did not keep Medo Ruijin waiting for long. After less than two quarters of an hour, the detective horse rushed to report back.
"Report to the commander, those cavalry are now about five miles in front of us.
However, they are currently undergoing repairs and have not yet found out their next move!"
