Chapter 594

Yao Tianning is well aware of the risks involved in traveling in the war zone at night, and at the same time doing so will also consume the physical strength of the soldiers who have had a hard time resting for the day. But he had to.

Just in the afternoon, Yao Tianning, who had just entered the Jianchuan War Zone, received an order from the chief combat officer of the Jianchuan Defense Zone, ordering him to speed up his march and resist the "Yushi Military Station" in the northeast as soon as possible. Then came another urgent order stating that they must arrive at "Yushi" before dawn.

One after the other, first "as soon as possible" and then "must".

If it was a normal march, it would take two days to reach the Yushi Military Station even if it was a rapid march, and there was a "Lianghe Military Station" that was the closest to Yao Tianning's troops after entering Jianchuan.

Therefore, Yao Tianning could only let the soldiers rest on the spot for half an hour in advance, and then marched all night.

But because there are many rocky beaches on the road from "Two Rivers" to "Yushi", it is not suitable for cavalry cruising at night, so the vanguard battalion, which needs the most flexibility and speed, can only be replaced by infantry.

However, he was also worried about affecting the main battle force and lacking the ability and confidence to deal with emergencies, so Yao Tianning did not choose his own lineage who entered the frontier army from the Jingnan Army, but chose two garrison battalions that had performed outstandingly in the previous run-in. Replacing his own cavalry as a forward battalion.

The two vanguard battalions were separated by one mile in the middle, divided into left and right sides, and formed into two wings, five miles ahead of the Chinese army, and then increased by one mile. Every time a stick of incense passed, the two forward battalions would send messages back to confirm the situation ahead. The central army and the rear army were also readjusted by Yao Tianning, so that the most powerful descendants in his hands could reduce their physical exertion to prepare for the next battle.

As for why the command of the chief combat officer of the defense zone was so urgent, although he didn't say it clearly, Yao Tianning could guess that it was definitely because the front line was stretched to the limit, and he was urgently needed to replace those sergeants who had become tired.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Get moving, don't squat for me! Eat while walking! No time for you guys to grind! Keep up!"

Even though they are well-trained and have excellent stamina, the whole day's rapid march still squeezed Wu Kai's soldiers into a sweat. Some of them had calf cramps several times, and they were still limping and trying to keep up. marching speed.

Just now, Wu Kai ordered to rest for a stick of incense. Because he had an inexplicable sense of urgency as if he was about to encounter something, so letting the soldiers take a moment to breathe was considered a refreshment.

"Where are you?"

"Go back to my lord, look at the road sign we passed just now, we have already arrived here, and we are less than twenty miles away from the Yushi Military Station."

"Brothers, can you still bear it?"

"I can bear it. I took a break just now, and now I'm much better, but I'm short of water, and I've run out of water in my water bags."

Wu Kai frowned, waved his hand, and said, "Didn't you refill a few trucks of water when you passed the Lianghe military depot? Why keep it? Distribute it. One long bag of water, let them take it back and divide it by themselves."

"My lord, is this not good? At the beginning, it was said that the water needs to be kept for backup, but now it will be divided."

"What nonsense?"

"It's my lord, this subordinate will go down and divide the water."

The adjutant couldn't understand it, but Wu Kai could see it very clearly. Why march all night? Isn't it the crisis ahead? Wu Kai reckoned that once he arrived at Yushi, he would probably go to battle immediately. Now the soldiers are quite tired, if they are still dying of thirst, what is the use of fighting? To die?

At the beginning of Yin, according to the map marks, you can see a bright light in the distance when you turn around a small slope and look into your eyes.

"Is that a fish stone?" Wu Kai's face was terribly gloomy.

"It should be. Is it? Is it such a bright lighting?"

"Hmph, either they are being killed or they are being burned. Report to the Chinese army urgently, saying that the fish and rocks are burning into the sky, which is suspected to be a crisis, and the striker Zuoying please fight!

Stop at the same time, drink water and rest, and wait for the next order! "

Yinshi was in a war zone again, how could it be so bright? Something must have happened to Yushi in front. But rushing forward rashly now is obviously unwise and unruly. Get ready and wait for what the Chinese army wants to say later.

Soon, Wu Kai's Shangfeng General Li Shen transferred the order of Yao Tianning, the commander of the Chinese army: the right-wing forward battalion immediately approached to investigate the situation, and in case of enemy attack, destroy it!

Wu Kai fixed his eyes after receiving the order, took a deep breath, turned his head to look at the adjutant with burning eyes, and said: "Blow the horn, march forward, if you encounter obstacles, kill!"

"Woo, woo."

When the horn sounded, the soldiers who were still wondering why they were given water and rest all of a sudden came back to their senses. Their expressions were blank at first, and then gradually became ferocious. Their cheeks bulged, and their eyes were full of murderous intent. up.

That's how people are. Be nervous and be scared. But when people get together, they will be so courageous. If you have been trained or have seen blood, plus you have a sword in your hand, you won't frown even if you go up the mountain of swords and down the sea of ​​fire.

"Lingzhen! Take your positions! Hurry up!"

The simplest battle formation is a test of the soldiers' ability. How to quickly form an formation and ensure that the formation is still strong in the case of rapid raids is the result of daily training.

Here Wu Kai mounted his horse and rode in the front of the middle of the army formation. The adjutant on the side was pushed to the back, and a strange face who had been with him before but never said a word to him replaced the adjutant and stood by his side.

He is a monk from Jingying Mansion. Seeing that the waist accessory is Chang Bofeng's man, he is in the middle of Yuandan, and he is very imposing. The task is to watch Wu Kai and prevent his head from being stolen by the enemy.

And there are quite a few monks in Jingying Mansion, Wu Kai saw no less than twenty of them. These people were not assigned to him, but to the vanguard battalion. These monks would cooperate with whoever would be the vanguard battalion.

Wu Kai didn't say much, he just nodded to express his gratitude to the monk who was protecting him, and then he calmed down, focusing on his surroundings and the banners of several messengers in front of him.

"Report! Enemies are found one mile ahead, the number is unknown, and they are coming in scattered formation!"

"Report! The left flank has spotted enemies, the number of which is unknown, and they are making a detour to my left rear!"

Is this a trick of encirclement? Who are you scaring!

Wu Kai didn't believe that in the Jianchuan war zone, the place near the main military station of the Jingjiu dynasty would be used by the barbarians as a siege to fight for reinforcements. If it had reached that point, Jianchuan would have been lost long ago.

"Lingqi! Don't worry about the enemy on the left, run forward and try to see how many catties these barbarians have!"

As soon as Wu Kai finished speaking, an orderly in front immediately repeated loudly: "Don't worry about the enemy on the left, run ahead!"

Wu Kai opened his mouth to confirm that it was correct, and then the orderly began to wave the command flag in his hand, streams of special regularity flashed on the command flag, and then the waist badges of the generals in the army also flashed the same stream of light, and it was uploading. issued.
