When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 671 Others have traveled three thousand miles in one battle, and you have traveled three thousand miles in one battle?

Just as Zhang Ji, the commander-in-chief in the rear, was making various preparations for the battle, a cavalry unit flying the black dragon flag of the Great Qin had already crossed the green grassland and entered the Gobi Desert.

"It's really crazy, marching like this..." Feng Wuzhe glanced at the Golden Fire Cavalry riders behind him who were wearing black cloth curtains to block out the wind and sand so that their expressions could not be seen, and his heart twitched.

He was really worried that these cavalrymen could not endure such a march. If it were an ordinary cavalry, they would have mutinied and tied up Meng Tian and taken him back to Xianyang to protest.

The road from Yanmen Pass to the Gobi Desert in the northernmost part of Beidi County is nearly 2,000 miles long. Although Qin repaired the official road in the north to facilitate the dispatch of troops after conquering Zhao, it is ultimately not as good as the highway in Guanzhong, and there is no official road in the Gobi Desert.

But even with this kind of road, how many days do you think it took Meng Tian to lead the Golden Fire Cavalry and abandon the infantry to march quickly to reach this place?
Ten days!

In other words, the Golden Fire Cavalry, without their heavy horse armor, marched an average of two hundred miles a day!
Even so, Meng Tian was still considering the upcoming battle and was worried that the Golden Fire Cavalry would over-consume their physical strength, and was far from reaching the fastest speed of the Golden Fire Cavalry with one man and three horses.

At first glance, it seems that for heavy cavalry without heavy armor and horse armor, marching two hundred miles a day is not surprising. After all, even some generals who were known for their swift marches could lead their infantry and cavalry to march "five hundred miles in three days, and one thousand miles in six days." This is far inferior to the 300-mile forced march in one day and one night by Cao Cao, who led the fully armed Tiger and Leopard Cavalry without double stirrups to pursue Liu Bei. However, this was a march of two hundred miles a day for ten consecutive days without changing horses, which was a great test for the spirit of the cavalry.

Therefore, even people like Feng Wuzhe secretly complained to Cao Shen that Meng Tian was a madman, and felt a little afraid of this general who never showed his emotions.

Originally, Feng Wuzhe would have preferred to follow the two main generals Li Xin or Tu Sui, as their fierce fighting methods were more in line with his fighting style. As for Meng Tian, ​​perhaps because the old general Meng Ao and General Meng Wu both had such a calm fighting style, and Meng Tian had always shown a steadiness that his peers did not have, he has always been considered to have the same fighting style as his grandfather and father, the two Generals Meng.

But the world has forgotten that this was a guy who dared to mobilize the army privately as a captain and asked the generals to invade the territory of Han to rescue Ying Zheng without the military order from the commander-in-chief Wang Xi. He was a guy who dared to blow the sky.

Even in the original world, Meng Tian was a ruthless man who dared to confront Wang Qi head-on as a thousand-man commander.

How can such a bold guy be a truly calm person?

He just had more self-control and suppressed the wildness and impulse in his heart.

But once Meng Tian released the wildness and impulse that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time, the so-called impulse and brute force of Li Xin and Tu Sui were nothing compared to him.

Despite this, Feng Wuzhe did not oppose Meng Tian, ​​and the same was true for Cao Shen, because they both approved of the tactics chosen by Meng Tian - to attack Qilian directly!
It was no secret that the Qin army was gathering at Yanmen Pass. The Grassland Wolf Tribe should have received intelligence of such a large-scale gathering of troops long ago. However, it was precisely because of this that Meng Tian chose to march so quickly.

The mission of the left army was to go out of the north and capture Wusun.

At least in terms of common sense, no one would have thought that Meng Tian would run two thousand miles in ten days, and then rush another six hundred miles across the Gobi Desert into the grassland to take the capital of the Wusun Kingdom.

It is not certain that there will be no one better than him, but it is definitely unprecedented. After all, who can fight a war by marching 2,600 miles as if they are rushing to be reborn?
Others traveled 3,000 miles in one battle, but you, Meng Tian, ​​traveled 3,000 miles in one battle???

Just for the Wusun Kingdom???
Feng Wuze felt that this was really an overkill, but the commander was in high spirits, and together with the lieutenants, he formulated a strict marching plan and a retreat plan after success, and there were also sufficient and reliable guides. Anyway, they would not lose, so they just treated it as a big training. Alas, thinking of Feng Wuze, it was always others who were afraid of him, but now he was afraid of the commander... Is this really a cycle of cause and effect?

Just as Feng Wu Ze was sighing inwardly, a horse sped up and caught up with Feng Wu Ze and others in the front, slowly approaching Feng Wu Ze, and the distance between the two horses gradually narrowed.

Just this riding skill alone would make him an expert in the military, but among the Golden Fire Cavalry, he is just an ordinary law enforcement cavalryman under the command of the military commander.

"General Feng, the commander asked me to report to you that some of the Golden Fire Cavalry have started to fall behind. In the past two days, more than 700 Golden Fire Cavalry have fallen behind. Although it does not affect the battle, there are too many herdsmen from the Wu Kingdom who have fallen behind."

Feng Wuzhe waved his hand to indicate that he understood, and then took out a yellowed sheepskin map from the cowhide package beside the horse's belly.

After a while, Feng Wuze wiped his face which was covered with sand and sweat, and came to Meng Tian, ​​who was wearing gorgeous black armor with gold edges, holding a map. "General, the last post station controlled by our Great Qin is ahead. Let the soldiers rest for a while."

The southern part of Beidi County is grassland, and the northern part is Gobi Desert. This is also the last post station set up by the Qin State in the Gobi Desert in the north of Beidi County.

After such a high-intensity forced march, the amount of baggage left behind due to lagging behind in recent days is not small. Cao Shen, who was standing beside him, also echoed: "Yes, even if the Golden Fire Cavalry does not need to rest, the herdsmen of the Wu Kingdom can't bear it."

Meng Tian remained as steady as a rock on the bumpy horse's back, without a trace of fatigue on his face. He just nodded indifferently.

"Pass the order down, rest at the front post for two days before continuing the march!"

Seeing Meng Tian give the order, Feng Wuzhe and Cao Shen looked at each other, and a look of relief flashed across their faces.

This crazy general was finally willing to stop and rest. The Golden Fire Cavalry could handle it, but the herdsmen from the Wu State who volunteered to do odd jobs with the army were really not going to be able to handle it. In recent days, many of the herdsmen from the Wu State had their horses exhausted and died, and the herdsmen disappeared together with them under the iron hooves of the cavalry.

You must know that the current head of the Wu clan, Wu Shiluo, is Zhang Ji's concubine.

Normal casualties are fine, but if this kind of march results in the loss of too many herdsmen from the Wu State who volunteered to help, it would be difficult to explain to that person then.

But Feng Wuzhe and Cao Shen did not expect that although they were considering the herdsmen of the Wu State, these herdsmen were not grateful.

A group of strong men from the Wu Kingdom walked into the main tent breathlessly, without even greeting, which frightened the guards holding spears and almost caused them to attack.

These men all looked very angry, which made Meng Tian and several soldiers feel uneasy. They wondered whether some young man had had a conflict with the herdsmen of the Wu State, but they did not expect that the anger was directed at Feng Wuzhe and Cao Shen.
