Chapter 1398
"Report... Ma'am, General Long, the scouts are here to report! Enemy trails have been spotted seventy miles away!"

"What?" As soon as these words came out, all the generals of the Xiang clan, including Long Qie, exploded.

For the cavalry, the distance of seventy miles is nothing more than a long-distance raid, and it will take less than a day to catch up with them.

Moreover, with a distance of seventy miles, indeed, if the enemy army wants to catch up within a day, they don't even need to rush at full strength. While maintaining a certain pursuit speed, they can also guarantee a certain combat power.

Don't underestimate the speed of the cavalry in the cold weapon era. Xiahouyuan's three days, five hundred and six days, one thousand, if the Mongolian cavalry retreated, they could run 200 miles away in a day.Therefore, the distance of seventy miles is not an insurmountable distance for this cavalry!
If it's just the soldiers of the Tenglong Legion, there is no need to be afraid at their speed. If they run likewise, the enemy army will certainly not be able to catch up with them.

However, after all, in addition to the soldiers of the Tenglong Legion, they also include a certain number of infantry units.The speed of the Tenglong Legion can be guaranteed, but this part of the infantry cannot escape.

It doesn't mean that this infantry unit can run as fast as the Tenglong Legion can run, which is of course impossible.The real situation should be reversed. How fast the infantry can run determines how fast the Tenglong Legion is!
Moreover, the most troublesome thing is the family members of these generals after all, they are the group of people who hinder the marching speed the most.However, even if the guards can give up, these people must never give up.

If even the guarded target has been abandoned, then what is the use of these guards.Even his own family members are already in the hands of others, so why can the generals around Xiang Yu follow Xiang Yu and fight the enemy with peace of mind.

Among all the generals, even Long Qi was shocked at this moment, but only Yu Ji showed a trace of regret and disappointment.

After all, he had been in charge of the Secret Pavilion for a long time before. Even though there was some estrangement with Xiang Yu later, and her rights were more than shrunk, she still had a few confidants in the end.

After they left the city, Jin Yiwei sent out pigeons, but not all of them were shot down. Yuji already knew about it.Therefore, she knew very well from the very beginning that with Zhu Yuanzhang's character, he would definitely send out pursuers.

However, in order to avoid restlessness, Yu Ji concealed it.Even Concubine Yu didn't tell Long Qie the news. Long Qie was unwilling to retreat like this. If he knew that the enemy had sent pursuers, he might give up the retreat and choose to stick to it on the return trip.

But in Yu Ji's view, even if the enemy has sent pursuers, they still have a chance to retreat.But if we wait for Zhu Yuanzhang's main force to attack, if they choose to stick to the city at that time, let Zhu Yuanzhang surround the city on all sides, with their strength, they may not be able to fight out!

One is that there is still a slight chance, and the other is that it seems that safety can be guaranteed, but in fact it is just waiting to die.And Yu Ji's choice is to seize that chance, more precisely, to win that chance.

Therefore, Yu Ji was trying to urge the dragon to speed up along the way, and also sent people to erase the traces of their progress, and tried to slow down the enemy's speed at some forked intersections.

However, the enemy army still bit them firmly after all, and chased them up.It may take only one day for the enemy army to catch up, but at their current advancing speed, it will take at least two days before they can enter Jiaozhou smoothly.

At this point, everyone's brows were full of worry.Zhu Yuanzhang's cavalry came in the same old way, no need to guess, they also knew which army came.

Given their current strength, if they are caught up in the wild, they will be so dangerous!
After Yu Ji pondered for a while, she was the one who was calmer and asked first, "Can you find out the exact number of enemy cavalry?"

"According to scout reports, at least not less than [-]."

"Ten thousand!" After hearing this number, everyone's expressions turned ugly, including Yu Ji.

With 1 people, Zhu Yuanzhang's three thousand battalions add up to only so few people. Zhu Yuanzhang dispatched all his elite cavalry at once.Judging by Zhu Yuanzhang's actions, it can only be said that he is really very Zhu Yuanzhang. Once he makes up his mind to make a move, he will do it with all his strength and will not leave any retreat for the enemy.

Thirteen thousand battalion, for these members of the Xiang family, this is definitely a heavy weight.If the number of enemies coming is relatively small, they are not afraid to fight each other.Considering the enemy's current strength, I'm afraid they are not suitable for field battles with others!
In field battles, one cavalry is worth at least five infantry.There are also more than 1 people on Yuji's side, but only the 1000 people of Longqie's Tenglong Legion belong to the cavalry establishment, and the rest are infantry.

If you use this configuration to confront the enemy in a field battle, they will be really dangerous!If the [-] battalion launched a frontal charge, they would not be able to find a suitable geographical advantage, and the [-] battalion would be enough to defeat them head-on.

At this time, Long Qi had to think more. If their soldiers and horses were defeated, the families of the generals who went up and down would naturally have no protection.

But the troublesome thing is that his lord, that is, Xiang Yu's wife and children, are also in this army at this time.If they are defeated by others, even the safety of Yu Ji and her children cannot be guaranteed, and they may fall into Zhu Yuanzhang's hands.

You know, this is Xiang Yu's only bloodline, and is also regarded by many people as the future young master.After all, if Xiang Yu still has no other blood in the future, then this child will naturally become the only choice.

"No! Absolutely not!" Thinking that Xiang Yu's only desire would be controlled by Zhu Yuanzhang, Long Qi's eyes became more and more firm at this time, perhaps he had already made a decision at this time.

"The pursuers are approaching. If no one stays behind, the entire army will be wiped out! Ma'am, I hope Madam will leave as soon as possible, and Long Qi will be here for Madam!" Long Qi took a step forward with his head held high, with a serious face and a tone of voice. He said in a heavy voice.
