Chapter 433
Dongyi!

A group of black cavalry galloped frantically on the ground, the iron hoofs stepped over, and the yellow sand in the sky also rose!

When he really embarked on this road, Xue Rengui really discovered the difficulty of this road.

At the beginning, in order to seek stability, Sun Chengen just hung Xue Rengui from a distance, and did not launch a general attack easily.

But with the arrival of the Dongyi armies one after another, Sun Chengen also began to really let go of his hands and feet.The infantry blocked in front, blocking every possible path for Xue Rengui to break through.

The cavalry is responsible for chasing, constantly consuming Xue Rengui's living strength.

However, the biggest threat to Xue Rengui was still the issue of food and grass. They were within Dongyi, and naturally it was impossible for them to obtain food and grass supplies.Moreover, since he had already deviated from the predetermined route, supply points had been secretly set up before, and Xue Rengui would definitely not be able to enjoy it.

In the beginning, Xue Rengui could also obtain supplies by plundering Dongyi villages and towns.However, with the arrival of Dongyi troops and horses one after another, it is impossible for Sun Chengen to give Xue Rengui another chance like this.

Although there are still a lot of soybeans and black beans in the army, those are not prepared for people, but for war horses.

Of course, this does not mean that people cannot use those soybeans and black beans. In fact, once the ancient army was out of food, it was often the case that soldiers rush to eat soybeans or black beans that were fed to horses.

However, on the way of this escape, feeding the horses is even more important than feeding the warriors.

With the arrival of spring, the grass on the ground has also begun to sprout, which can solve part of the needs of the war horse.Moreover, the seedlings in the farmland of Dongyi also began to emerge. After all, they were not from his own family. Xue Rengui had no psychological burden on this.

However, only feeding grass to horses cannot satisfy the basic nutritional structure of horses.Such horses hardly have the strength to engage in heavy physical labor.

For horses to have strength and stamina, they must be given forage, and they must also be fed with concentrate and even salt on a regular basis.

This method of enhancing nutrition for horses and improving overall combat effectiveness is actually the same whether raising war horses in grasslands or in plain farming areas in the interior.Only by feeding the horses with forage, concentrated feed and salt can they grow fat and adapt to the fierce war.However, concentrated feed is mainly based on wheat bran and beans.

Many nomads feed their war horses only concentrated fodder and not let them graze for several months before going to war.The horses were not allowed to eat a small amount of grass until a few days before the start of the war, because they were worried that the horses would grow too fat and could not run.Therefore, it is unrealistic to think that grassland horses only need to be free to graze and then gather together to fight.

It is precisely because of this that Xue Rengui's hands are not without food, but the food is prepared for war horses, not for people.

In desperation, Xue Rengui could only choose to kill the horse and eat.One horse can feed 50 people a day, and the black riders are all three riders per person, plus the attrition caused by non-stop fighting, it can barely support it.

Moreover, killing the horse and eating it can also relieve the pressure of the horse's food and grass, which can be regarded as serving multiple purposes.

However, it is a pity that the black cavalry horses are the most elite group of war horses selected by the army.The strongest warhorses, the most elite armour, and the most elite troops are assigned to form the final black cavalry.But now, these war horses are really wasted.

It's just that at this juncture of life and death, it's not the time to care so much!If the war horse is gone, they can still raise it, or even rob it, but if the lives of these soldiers are gone, then it is really gone!
"Quick! The whole army rests!" Xue Rengui ordered loudly.

Although Xue Rengui had ordered the entire army to rest and recuperate, no one dismounted, but silently took out the horse meat that had already been prepared from the rucksack.In the uninterrupted chase, they don't talk about eating and drinking. Many times, they even come over on horseback to sleep.

Xue Rengui and Hu Luguang looked back silently, clenching their fists reluctantly, they didn't even feel their fingernails pierce their palms, and their eyes were full of anger and sadness.At the same time, there was a hint of hope in the depths of his eyes, looking forward to those figures appearing again.

"You can come back, General Guan and the others will definitely come back!" Xue Rengui whispered softly.

"Yes! If they can come back, they will definitely come back!" Hu Luguang didn't know whether he was talking to Xue Rengui or talking to himself.

Sun Chengen kept sending large cavalry units to chase, while Xue Rengui would hide if he could.

However, it didn't take long for Xue Rengui to find that he couldn't continue like this, although he avoided fighting with the opponent as much as possible, and also avoided casualties as much as possible.

However, Xue Rengui also found that he seemed to have fallen into Sun Chengen's calculations and was forced to flee towards the route set by Sun Chengen for them.

Escape according to the route set by the enemy, and it seems that there is no harm in a short time, and it can even reduce casualties.However, if it continues like this, the final result must be death without a place to be buried.

If Xue Rengui continued to escape along this route, he would definitely be facing the Dongyi infantry that had already been blocked there.At that time, they are likely to plunge into the pocket array that the enemy has designed for them.

At that time, Dongyi will launch a general attack with absolute superiority in military strength. The final fate of these thousands of troops will definitely be death and no life, and there will be no fluke.

After realizing the last problem, Xue Rengui was already faced with a difficult choice.If you continue to move forward, you will fall into the enemy's pocket formation.

But if they change direction, then if they want to rush to Yunhai Port, I am afraid they will have to go a lot of wrong ways, and they will have to travel for at least seven days.

In this kind of life-and-death escape, taking an extra day, or even an extra hour, doesn't know how many variables will be caused, how many difficulties will be encountered, let alone a seven-day journey.After walking these seven days, their future is also uncertain.

Moreover, if they changed their direction at this time, in addition to taking so many wrong paths, it was inevitable to forcibly fight the Dongyi cavalry who had been chasing them.They wanted to change direction, and the first obstacle was the Dongyi cavalry chasing after them.

However, it is impossible not to change the direction. If you don't change the direction, there will only be a dead end.
