Following the order given by Yuan Xichen, the soldiers trotted outside in neat steps, and the ground began to shake at that moment.
The dust on the ground also floated up, and even though everyone was choked, no one backed down easily.
In order to speed up the march, most people rode on war horses first, and those behind followed closely behind.
Yuan Xichen divided the people into three groups. One group was the vanguard responsible for gathering information. Another group was the cavalry responsible for responding to the battle ahead. The last group was the backup force responsible for covering the rear and serving as a backup.
Everyone has their own duties, and as little stuff as possible is put on the horse's back, which at least can reduce the pressure on the soldiers as much as possible.
The winding team moved in the mountains in an orderly manner like a long snake awakening. Neither its head nor its tail could be seen.
Fortunately, there were many trees on the march route, so even if we were traveling under the sun, we were not as tired or prone to heatstroke as we had imagined.
The riders on horseback climbed the steep slope quite easily, but the runners had a little more trouble.
As there were many people passing by, the various birds in the woods were frightened by their movements and flew everywhere.
After marching for about two hours, everyone was quite tired.
Yuan Xichen estimated that a long time had passed before he jumped off the horse swiftly. He suddenly raised his white hands, indicating that the advancing team could stop temporarily.
Yuan Yi reacted quickly after seeing this and shouted loudly to the back: "Everyone on horseback should dismount immediately and rest where you are. Everyone should take the time to drink some water. We will be there in about an hour.
Everyone, hold on a little longer. If we arrive earlier, we can save one more life. Now everyone, please work hard. After we win the battle, you can all have a good rest. It is also a matter of honor for your family and yourself to make achievements. In addition, the patrol personnel should strengthen their vigilance and continue patrolling. "
After explaining the situation, Yuan Yi also dismounted.
He walked over and tied Yuan Xichen's horse to a tree, and then got some water and grass for the horse.
The horse was really tired, but when it saw food, it was like a fish seeing water and it immediately became energetic.
It first took a big sip of water and then took a big bite of grass.
After eating for a while, the grass and water in front of it were eaten up clean.
This is a Arabian horse and also Yuan Xichen's favorite, so Yuan Yi would usually serve it personally.
So the sweat it sheds is red, which is different from that of other horses.
After Yuan Yi gave the order, everyone took action one after another.
Under the reflection of the mottled shade of the trees, the long snake that was winding forward finally stopped moving, and its huge body hovered in the mountains.
Yuan Yi went to find a big rock nearby and placed a clean cotton cloth on top of the rock.
Then he placed the stone directly under a big tree, and then came to Yuan Xichen and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please move over there and rest for a while. If you have anything, just tell your subordinates to sit down. Please drink a sip of water first, it's too hot now."
Yuan Yi handed a water bag directly to Yuan Xichen, and took a larger plant leaf to fan him.
Although the wind from the plant leaves was not very strong, it did provide some relief.
Yuan Xichen looked around and found that they were surrounded by mountains on all sides. The journey would be easier only if they walked out of the mountains.
Yuan Xichen is a cautious person, and he can't help but think more when he sees the surrounding environment.
After Yuan Xichen pondered for a moment, he suddenly looked up at Yuan Yi and said seriously: "Yuan Yi, you should immediately send a few more teams to investigate the surrounding situation. You must make sure that there are no mistakes. I see that there are mountains all around here. If we really want to hide people, it is still very easy.
Tell those patrolling to be more careful and serious, and not to be careless. Others who are resting should also not relax their vigilance. Also, after they have rested and before they set off, have the riders and runners swap positions. "
Traveling is tiring in itself, and Yuan Xichen also wanted to relieve some of the pressure on others.
After receiving the order, Yuan Yi walked to the back, and after giving the instructions, he returned to Yuan Xichen.
After receiving the order to rest, all the soldiers except the patrollers sat on the ground.
I don’t know who took off his shoes without caring about his image. Maybe he wanted to rub his sore soles.
As a result, an overwhelming smell of foot odor instantly filled the air.
"Oh my, this smell is so bad! It smells a bit like smelly feet. Who took off their shoes? My God, it smells so bad!"
"That's right! That's right! It stinks too much. Who on earth is so wicked as to take off his shoes? It's so hot, he's going to stink us to death."
People in the crowd kept complaining, wondering whose feet were so smelly.
A captain in the team had a very bad temper. He was also annoyed by the smell. He spat heavily on the ground and said through gritted teeth:
"Who on earth is this bastard with such stinky feet? Why don't you put on your shoes? Do you want to die? If I find him, I will teach him a lesson!
If you bastards disturb the prince, I will skin you alive. Come out if you are a real man, or I will find you and never forgive you."
The captain was cursing as he walked, and his curses soon reached the ears of several soldiers who had taken off their shoes.
After they looked at each other, they felt their backs tighten and they broke out in cold sweat.
They were so tired that they forgot that the prince was still in the team. This was really asking for trouble.
Soon, several people put on their shoes and stood up quickly.
Yuan Xichen, who was not far away, was not disturbed. After all, he was some distance away and naturally did not smell the disgusting smell.
After resting for about a quarter of an hour, the team continued on their journey.
"Let's go! Everyone follow quickly and don't fall behind." Yuan Yi shouted loudly, and the person in charge of waving the flag shook his dry and withered hands desperately.
When the soldiers behind saw the flags waving, they began to trot forward along with the team.
After a short period of rest and recuperation, everyone felt full of energy and vitality.
There were many pebbles and big rocks on the road the soldiers were walking on, and the terrain became steeper as they walked.
"Report! Everyone, make way! Make way! I want to see the prince, hurry up!"
