The 20,000-strong army set out, and from a distance, it looked like a giant dragon with no head but no tail. Under the command of Shuai, it is the big tent guarded by the Chinese army. Pei Dun did not take a car this time, but chose to ride a horse. His face is handsome, and he is dressed in military armor, which is outstanding, and shows the demeanor of a general.
After all, Pei Dun has also read the military book. Although impatient, but the marching formation is quite appropriate. There are horses in the front, food teams in the back, and generals of the army on the side, who can ask about the situation at any time. From Jinyang to Lishi, even if they are all foot soldiers, they can reach it within four or five years. I am afraid that it will not be long before there will be enemy troops arrayed to meet them.
"General Linghu, where did the former army go?" Pei Dun asked sideways while riding on the horse.
This General Linghu was not called Linghu Sheng, but Linghu Kuang, General Zhechong, who was on the side of the Central Army. After finally conquering Qixian, before he could catch his breath, he was recruited into the commander-in-chief. To be honest, Linghu was somewhat disappointed. But the duty lies. This time, his uncle will lead the army together. He dares to neglect, and immediately said: "Report to the governor, the former army has arrived in Pingtao, and tomorrow they will be able to enter the territory of Xihe Kingdom."
"Go on, set up camp in Pingtao today, and attack Lishi tomorrow!" Pei Dun ordered.
Starting from Jinyang, it has been two days. The generals were exhausted from riding horses. However, the soldiers could only rely on two legs, and the remaining ten miles would definitely be more difficult. Pei Dun was determined to attack Lishi, and would not delay the march for too long. How could Linghu Kuang disobey the order? I had to give orders to speed up the march.
Tightening the reins slightly in his hands, Pei Dun said to Liu Changshi beside him, "When will the Shangdang troops arrive?"
"The general is in a hurry this time. Shangdang's journey is a little longer, and it should be two days in the evening. But in this way, the enemy army is even more unable to guard against it." Liu Changshi was not too worried that Liang Inspector would refuse to fight, and Yanchi in Hedong Yanchi Li, but not everyone can refuse. It is even more surprising that the troops are divided into two paths.
Hearing this, Pei Dun seemed to be slightly relieved, and said: "If the Huns can't stand on the stone, then go straight to Puzi and catch them by surprise!"
This time his goal was not to lay down the Lishi, but to push the Xiongnu back and disrupt their plan to attack Hedong. If the city is besieged, it will be a loss of troops. It's just that it's better to fight in Bingzhou, which makes it more plausible.
"Don't worry, general, the Huns are not good at defending the city, so they will send troops in advance." Everyone knows that the Huns are good at attacking and not defending, and they will not defend the city. As long as the distance is close to the stone, there will always be a battle.
He wanted exactly this result. Pei Dun said no more, and continued to rush the horse forward.
The infantry in the front accelerated their marching speed, but the rear army could not keep up. In Bingzhou, wars were frequent, and livestock such as cattle and horses were in short supply, so the rear grain teams were mostly drawn by manpower. Even if it is a short-distance expedition, the ration for the 20,000 troops is quite an astonishing number. Not to mention the spare arrows and weapons. These three thousand servants cannot be lazy at all.
In one breath, he walked from dawn to dusk, and he saw that the camp in front of him was already lit up, but these few miles, it seemed that he would never reach the end. Desperately long.
"Hurry up! Step up for me!" the captain urged loudly, "The camp is right in front! If you drag it on, it will be handled by military law!"
Hearing the general's call, everyone gathered their strength, desperately pushing and pulling the cart beside them, and staggering forward. I don't know how long it took before the team officer gave an order to stop everyone. These servants are naturally not qualified to live in tents, they can just find a place to rest. Dinner was also prepared, the clear soup was short of water, and there was not even a pickle. I am afraid that only the morning meal, can eat more full.
Dare to be angry and not dare to speak, everyone poured porridge into wooden bowls to drink. It has been autumn for a long time, the sky is starting to get cold, but the sweat drops like rain, and it can't stop. I don’t know if it was too oppressive all the way, but a young servant finally couldn’t stand it anymore, and whispered to the people beside him: “Zhao Da, why are you so rushed this way? Could it be that they want us to attack the city and fill the sandbags? "
Sometimes, the servant also has the task of rushing to the city. Carrying sandbags and rushing into formation under the rain of arrows from the enemy is simply heartbreaking. It's okay to transport food, if they really rush, how can they survive
"No. I heard people say that this time, I won't attack the city. I'll just fight the Huns." The man surnamed Zhao replied in a low voice, sounding quite assertive.
Another person on the side heard this and hurriedly asked: "If you fight the Huns, will they beat us? What if someone comes to rob food and grass?"
"There are soldiers guarding it! And even if the enemy comes, we have so many cars. If we surround the cars and hide inside, the enemy can't do anything about it?" That Zhao Da really had an idea, and quickly replied.
These words immediately made everyone around them quiet down, as long as they could survive and suffer a little bit more, they would be able to bear it. Thanks to having this Zhao Da by his side, this man is powerful and knows a lot. I am afraid he is stronger than those guarding school officials! If it wasn't for him, everyone wouldn't know what it would be like to panic.
After drinking the porridge hastily, the others fell to the ground drowsily, and fell into a drowsiness in an instant. Only Zhao Da did not go to bed early, but quietly probed along the camp. His movements were extremely light, and his road selection was quite skillful, so he didn't even run into the guards. After going around for more than half a circle, Zhao Dacai stopped when he saw another person dressed as a servant. The two made a few gestures on their hands, and turned away without speaking. As if completing a task.
Back in his own team, Zhao Da breathed a sigh of relief and lay sideways on the ground. Someone may have slept lightly and mumbled, "Where have you been?"
"Got shit." Zhao Daxin replied.
The man didn't ask any further questions, and fell into a drowsy sleep. However, Zhao Da didn't fall asleep immediately. After thinking about what he saw tonight, he closed his eyes. These people, the command of General Feng Yi to sneak into the ranks of the servants, is not only to appease and protect these civilians. When the army really confronts, or even begins to collapse, it is the moment when they really exert their strength.
Just look at the surnamed Pei, who can last for a few days.

"Your Majesty! Jinyang has launched a large number of troops, and Li Shi is in a hurry!" I don't know how many horses died, and it only took more than a day for the battle report to be sent to Liu Yuan's desk from Bingzhou.
Now Liu Yuan is leading his troops to attack Hedong, and has already conquered two cities. But after that, Wen Xi, and An Eup of the Hedong Administration. Hard bones like Pei's and Wei's are very difficult to chew.
At this critical moment, when I suddenly heard the news of Li Shi's emergency, even Liu Yuan was stunned: "Liang Zixi wants to beat Li Shi?!"
impossible! Didn't Liu Hu already get the news and pressed against Xinxing County. With the enemy glaring at his back, how could Liang Zixi rashly send troops? What has become of Li Shi. Even if he doesn't want it, will Liang Zixi bother to take it
"It's not Liang Shishi, but Pei Dun, the newly appointed governor of Bingzhou." The soldier got the news fairly well, and immediately reported.
"Pei Dun!" Liu Yuan understood just by hearing the name. This is to save Hedong! This kid from the Pei family is really daring, and dares to drive the Bingzhou soldiers to relieve the Hedong siege! Why didn't Liang Zixi stop him
After just thinking for a moment, Liu Yuan said categorically: "Order Liu Hu to attack Jinyang immediately!"
A newly appointed governor of Bingzhou can take risks and send troops to rescue Hedong. What does this mean? It means that Jinyang's political situation is unstable, empty and weak! At this time, if Liu Hu and Baibu Xianbei are allowed to march in a big way, they may be able to conquer that fortified city! If the city is broken and Liang Zixi is killed, what will the remaining Pei clan's children do? And if Jinyang is lost, the incoming Jin army will also be distracted. Isn't it a perfect time to win Bingzhou in one fell swoop? !
"Xuanming, you lead another 5,000 cavalry, and help Li Shi! You must defeat Pei Dun's one!" Liu Yuan continued to order his son Liu Cong.
Who is Liu Cong? He immediately understood the importance of this battle, and clasped his fists to lead the order: "My son will let Bingzhou's troops go and return!"
He hasn't had a good time these days. Liu Yao, the son of the clan, didn't know what luck he had taken. First, he captured Chang'an and then Feng Yi. However, he has never been able to wash away the shadow of the party's defeat. In this way, wouldn't it be left behind? Now, taking advantage of the civil strife in Bingzhou, if you can win Jinyang in one fell swoop, it will be a great achievement!
Seeing his son's arrogant appearance, Liu Yuan laughed: "As long as Hedong is taken down, Gu will officially ascend to the throne and become emperor! This way of heaven really stands on Gu's side!"
Hearing Liu Yuan's rhetoric, all the ministers cheered in unison. Now there are only two emperors in the state of Jin. Pseudo-dragons compete, and there is one more real dragon, what's the harm
The battle in Hedong was not hindered by the emergency of Li Shi, but instead rushed towards the predetermined prey more rapidly!
In the Shangdang territory, a team of people is also quietly marching. The leader is the general Zhang He, who is currently in command of the Shangdang army!
As the flanks of this army, their advance speed is beyond the imagination of most people, and the direction of advance is even more unexpected. Not from Li Shi, but through Nie County, approaching Jingling. This Jingling City, not far from Qixian County, was also a city captured by the Huns by massacre.
When everyone turns their attention to Li Shi, how many people will stick to these "rear" small towns
Although they are all foot soldiers, these soldiers are all strong and tidy. Just like a silent and dangerous pack of wolves, the starry night keeps on rushing towards the locked target!
