Your Majesty said that my life is worthless, so why are you crying when I increase my troops?
Chapter 109 Preparing Food and Grass
Xia Mingyuan quickly gathered the troops outside Hanyang City.
A total of two thousand cavalrymen, without any delay, followed Xia Mingyuan and rushed towards the southwest.
Wherever the two thousand elite cavalry passed, they raised clouds of yellow sand.
At the same time, outside Xujiazhuang.
Yue Hanshan looked at the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops in Wang Gang's hand, and his expression suddenly became solemn.
"Quick, notify the cavalry battalion to assemble."
"Everyone stop training and prepare food and supplies."
"After half a quarter of an hour, the cavalry battalion will attack with all their might. We must catch up with the commander-in-chief before dark."
Half a day later.
The team stopped to rest after a long march.
Xia Mingyuan dismounted and stretched his stiff body.
Wang Ganger ran over with great insight and handed over the water bag.
Seeing this, Xia Mingyuan couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
The Tiger Guards, which were created at a great cost, were different from the Yellow Turban warriors who only knew how to fight.
In comparison, both the Tiger Guards and the Dragon Warriors have more ordinary character and more active thinking.
Right now, he has begun to look forward to the ninth level of the system's God-given General.
A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.
In the past, Emperor Wu of Han was a man of great talent and strategy. He defeated the Huns step by step, relying on the two SSRs Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.
Emperor Taizong Wen unified the northern desert and was crowned the Khan of Heaven, relying on outstanding generals such as Li Jing and Hou Junji.
These great generals in history were able to shine regardless of whether the wind was favorable or unfavorable, and even turn the tide and save the collapsing building.
From this we can see how important a general who is always victorious in attack and battle will be to him.
If the system's troop production speed could not keep up with the development, Xia Mingyuan would even want to desperately build up a divine general.
But due to the erratic system, he could only endure it for the time being, fearing that more stringent conditions would appear later.
Xia Mingyuan took a sip of water and looked at the map handed to him by Wang Ganger.
"How far have we come?"
Wang Ganger quickly replied, "Commander, we have already advanced over 140 miles. We will reach Qingyuan Town ahead, where border troops will be stationed."
"If we stop for inspection, it will probably take us half a day."
"Also, according to the information Li Chun gave us, the border troops here have been accepting bribes year-round. If there isn't enough money to clear the way, they won't let anyone pass."
Xia Mingyuan frowned slightly when he heard this.
Along the way, their horses rode very fast. Although they had not yet left Hanyang, everyone in the surrounding towns and villages kept their distance as soon as they saw the two thousand cavalrymen.
Two thousand elite cavalrymen could not have come from private hands.
No one questioned them and classified them all as official troops of Daxia.
But if they were really stopped by the government troops of Qingyuan Town, it would be difficult for him to explain why he, as a guard of the princess's mansion, brought so many people on a long journey.
"How many troops are there in Qingyuan Town?" Xia Mingyuan asked in a deep voice after thinking for a moment.
"There aren't many people. Including the grooms, there are only about 500 of them."
Wang Ganger answered quickly.
"Five hundred people?"
Xia Mingyuan's eyes flashed coldly, "Since there aren't many people, just force your way through."
……
Another half day passed.
As the sun moved westward, Xia Mingyuan finally saw the outline of Qingyuan Town.
"Wang Ganger, take three hundred men to the pass and provoke us."
"As soon as they send out troops to fight, you should retreat immediately. Don't fight to the death and just play kite with these people."
"Yes, Commander!"
Wang Ganger took the order and left without any hesitation.
Less than a cup of tea later, Xia Mingyuan heard shouts and screams coming from the gate of Qingyuan Town.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly and he looked in the direction of the voice.
As expected, the defenders of Qingyuan Town were completely unprepared.
Almost in a moment, they could no longer hold back and led their troops to charge out.
Judging by the naked eye, there are about three or four hundred people.
When Wang Gang saw these people, he stopped acting and ran away.
A team of three hundred people rushed into the empty valley at lightning speed.
Such a fast speed made everyone in Qingyuan Town stare in surprise. Seeing this scene, everyone cursed a few words and withdrew their troops back to the city.
But unexpectedly, a moment later, Wang Ganger brought his men to attack back, and the shouting and cursing became more and more fierce.
The entire Qingyuan Town’s ancestors were cursed for eighteen generations.
Finally, these people could no longer bear it and continued to fight their way out of the city.
Wang Ganger still ran away, but this time the Qingyuan Town garrison was not so good-tempered. They sent out three hundred troops to rush towards Wang Ganger's army.
Xia Mingyuan watched coldly from the side. After a moment, when he was sure that the pursuing cavalry had really gone far away, he suddenly drew his sword.
"Brothers, charge forward with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Mingyuan raised his knife and rushed forward first.
The soldiers behind him were inspired by him and rushed forward fiercely like wolf cubs.
"Quick, close the city gate!"
"We've fallen into a trap!"
When Zhou Liang on the city wall saw this scene, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he quickly ordered the border troops below to close the city gate.
He had never expected why someone would attack a city from behind?
Although he wanted to close the city gate quickly, he was still a step too slow.
Xia Mingyuan's army rushed into the city like a whirlwind.
More than a thousand cavalrymen were invincible.
Any border troops who dared to approach and block the attack were killed like melons and vegetables.
Wherever he passed, corpses lay everywhere and blood flowed into rivers.
"Let them go!"
Zhou Liang saw that the situation was hopeless and that it was pointless to resist any longer, so he quickly ordered the border troops to disperse.
In this way, Xia Mingyuan and his nearly two thousand cavalrymen successfully passed through Qingyuan Town.
Wang Ganger received the signal and quickly broke away from the pursuers and followed.
After escaping from Qingyuan Town, everyone was afraid that they would be caught up, so they ran for more than a hundred miles until dark, when they finally stopped.
"call……"
“That’s really exciting!”
Xia Mingyuan looked at the nervous cavalrymen and couldn't help but smile.
Travel a long distance and force your way through.
By the time the news got out, Xia Tianxiong, who was far away in the palace, probably didn't even know what had happened, and he had already led his men to the border.
Xia Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and was in a good mood.
Seeing that it was getting dark, he immediately ordered a rest and told the army to cook.
As for him, he took out the map and looked at it carefully.
At this moment, a burst of hurried horse hooves suddenly came from not far away.
Hearing this voice, Xia Mingyuan's smile became even brighter.
Soon, Wang Gang came to him in a hurry.
"Commander-in-chief, we will be delayed on the way. We will bring all the 1,000 cavalrymen with us."
"When we passed through Qingyuan Town, we were questioned and even blackmailed by the garrison. I was afraid of missing the deadline, so I simply forced my way through."
"Strangely enough, when these people saw us forcing our way through, they actually gave way and let us pass."
