Chapter 1607 Zhan Ying's Helplessness
Zhan Ying is still a Huotou Army, and the Tianhu Guard he belongs to is the largest and most powerful army among the Sixteen Guards in Zhenxi. All the food and baggage were transported across the Yangtze River by ship. The cavalry did not move. This time, all the Tianhu Guards who came to Xiangxi were infantrymen guarding the city. They had been running for more than two months relying on their feet. They marched once a day. One hundred and twenty miles, this is necessary because only by running to the next shipping code
Food supplies were only available at the head of the army. Each warrior's armor and swords 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 very hard. Under the rapid march, the Huotou Army suffered the most. During the daily rest, the army could rest in place, while the Huotou Army had to start making fire to make food to ensure the food supply of the army. It's still dark in the morning. Before the army sets out, the food must be accurate.
Just be prepared.
Fortunately, this time, with the thousands of miles of reinforcements, the court's supply in all aspects has opened the door to convenience. As long as they arrive at the dock, food will be ready, so there is no need for these fire-headed soldiers to cook.
Calculating the distance, we should have reached the western part of Xiangxi. In another twenty days at most, we can reach the northern part of Yingzui Cliff.
I was sweating profusely when I ran, 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 came and went were still comfortable. They could fly with swords and fly thousands of miles a day, unlike big-headed soldiers like him who could only rely on their feet to measure this great river and mountain 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 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 much elegance 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 fairy's back.
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 million-strong army began to rest on the spot. Countless oxcarts immediately poured out of the dock, and various kinds of steamed buns, flatbreads, and pots of fatty meat slices were sent to various places. camp. This is the most pleasant moment every day for war heroes, and it is also the most comfortable moment for all soldiers. After a day of rapid march, they are already tired to death, so they naturally have enough food, which is white flour steamed buns, or rice that will not fall when they are inserted into chopsticks. We are all strong soldiers. , the appetite is naturally not bad, I don’t eat six or seven steamed buns every meal
Two pieces of fat meat are not enough for the more than a hundred miles traveled in one day.
After a long journey, foot soaking 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 never screamed. He soaked his feet and read a thick book by the light of the fire. This is the military strategy that Wang Laosan gave him a few months ago before he left. It is handwritten by Fairy Moye Li Tielan, and it definitely belongs to domestic stock 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 against the mortal armies, but against the six armies of heaven.
Every night at 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 to patrol the camp.
These soldiers didn't know what they were going to face next. How could he, as the coach, not know? However, he was not 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 were just like him, the millions of troops he brought were not vegetarians. As for the border troops, which year won't they 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 topographic 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 Cliff, it would definitely be a dangerous place that could not be accessed by one man. Even if the number of enemies exceeds ten million, 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.
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, Zhan Ying stood up immediately. Just as he was about to come over, he was blocked by a dozen black-armored personal soldiers holding long Qis from behind Yang Zhentian, who would never let him get within ten feet of the general.
Zhan Ying said loudly: "General, I have some opinions on the current situation and want to report to the general... General..."
Yang Zhentian didn't even look at him, and rode away slowly on his tall horse.
Zhan Ying was very disappointed, but what could he do? He was just the lowest-level fireman 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 military tactics given to him by Wang Laosan.
He felt that although Yingzui Cliff was a natural chasm, it was still very difficult to stop the six armies of the heavenly realm.
Yingzui Cliff was not Yumen Pass. Yingzui Cliff had only one line of defense, and the second line of defense had to be extended hundreds of miles to the north, near Junshan Dongting Lake.
Yumen Pass is different. Even if Yumen Pass and Tiemen Pass are lost, there are still Motian Cliff and Motian Ridge behind.
If he is asked to defend Yingzui Cliff, he will push the left and right wings to the south for at least 30 miles, and form a horn with Wangfu Ridge in the southeast and Duoshi Peak in the southwest, which can be used for attack or defense. After all, if you just defend blindly, no matter how solid the defense line is, it will be broken. However, judging from the reports from the court every day, the army is all concentrated on the Yingzui Cliff line, which is quite dangerous.
