Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 521 Wanyan's Mother's New Tactic (Repayment)
Time: Three days later, around noon.

Under the scorching sun, Hu Biao took a big gulp of the Cantonese-style herbal tea that worked well but tasted really ecstasy.

Mingming clearly remembered that he had asked the same question at most half an hour ago.

But under the mentality of being concerned about chaos, he still asked the marching staff next to him, and asked again: "Zhongda, how far has our army traveled today, and how far is it expected to go?"

After hearing such a sentence, a marching staff officer who was a scholar who abandoned his pen and joined the army.

The little brother named Zhongda immediately answered:
"Hu Xianggong, I have already walked about seventeen or eight miles today; if the moonlight is good tonight, and if I catch up with the night journey for another hour, I should be able to walk forty miles."

You can only walk forty miles in a day, and you have to walk for an hour at night.

After hearing such a heartwarming statement, the imperial concubine at the side let out a long sigh without waiting for Hu Biao to say anything.

That feeling of resentment to the extreme is like a heartless man who has been betrayed, a boudoir who has been abandoned...

If it is according to Hu Biao's plan, the marching speed is 70 miles a day.

Tonight, they should have marched for more than 200 miles, so it is not far from Zhending Mansion, which is Shijiazhuang in the modern plane, this big city is not far away.

However, in fact, they are still more than 100 miles away from the capital city of Zhending Mansion.

why?Said is a tear.

It wasn't that after the Northern Expedition army took the Daming Mansion lightly, they set off again on the second day, but they ran into some huge troubles after walking for half a day.

Those golden cavalrymen, after suffering a big loss yesterday, are considered to be masters today.

After completely changing their style of play, Hu Biao and the others felt extremely uncomfortable.

Specifically, all the cities and checkpoints that these grandsons have voluntarily abandoned along the way.

The idea of ​​letting Hu Biao and the others quickly attack the city with explosive kits and a large number of artillery pieces to weaken the Jinren one by one has come to naught.

If that's all it is, it's nothing.

The key issue is that the Jin people have become smarter since the war, replacing the cavalry with at least three to five hundred shares, and at most one thousand shares.

A total of dozens of teams, like a swarm of bees, started to swim in the area with a radius of hundreds of miles.

Relying on the surrounding large-scale plain terrain and their high-speed maneuverability.

The key is that their cavalry has stronger advantages than the new army in terms of quantity and quality. They continue to forcibly attack the advancing army from the gaps in the defense of the new cavalry.

If they saw an opportunity, they would rush up and slash for a while before leaving.

Seeing that the Song Army had already formed a chariot formation, it would be quite decisive to turn around and leave immediately without any hesitation.

The main idea is to take advantage of what is available, or to exhaust the mental and physical strength of the soldiers of the Northern Expedition if it is not possible.

Frankly speaking, these golden men have not achieved much in the above aspects.

After three consecutive days, only five or six companies were rushed into the marching ranks by these golden men because they were not formed in time, and more than half of them were killed or killed after a few attacks.

Such a casualty of hundreds of people is not enough for the strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Great Song Dynasty.

For a war of this scale, it is nothing at all, and it has no effect on the morale of the army.

Therefore, under the constant harassment of the Jin people, it often takes a day, and the soldiers of the Song Dynasty who have a large number of carts that can take turns can maintain their physical strength.

Morale remains high.

But there is one thing that Hu Biao and the others absolutely cannot accept.

That is, under the constant harassment of the Jin people, the marching army needs to stop from time to time to form a car formation for defense.

At the end of the day, this kind of thing happened at least a dozen times or as many as a dozen times, and the marching speed immediately slowed down.

Don't say that as the original plan, after a day of walking, the marching speed of sixty miles can be maintained.

It has become what it is now, to the extent that you want to walk forty miles in a day, and you have to walk for an hour at night, which makes people very depressed.

What the hell!Really want to continue like this.

By the first day of March, before the deadline stipulated by this system came, they might not even be able to see the walls of Yanjing City.

And when he thought of this point, another sky-piercing monkey rose into the sky seven or eight miles away, and exploded in the sky.

There is no doubt that a small group of golden cavalry was killed there.

Therefore, the army, which had been marching for less than half an hour just now, had to stop again; when it started to start again, it was almost an hour later.

Unfortunately, tonight is a pitch black night.

So after it got dark, considering that there were many civilians in the army and they had severe night blindness, the army could only camp on the spot.

Counting today, after one day, it is only a mere 31 miles.

what to do?Hu Biao scratched his scalp that hadn't been washed for some days, and yelled at the imperial concubine who was acting as the assistant secretary: "Go ahead and ask all senior officers, including the division commander, to have a meeting in two hours..."

That night, such a meeting lasted until midnight before they came up with a solution that was not a solution.

The reason why he said that was because there was no good way, Hu Biao could only choose to release all the cavalry, and tried his best to prevent the golden cavalry from attacking and disturbing the chariot formation.

Even he understands that in the previous time, he was supported by the firepower of the car array.

Originally, the cavalry troops of the new army could still gain some upper hand after facing the golden cavalry.

But once the fighting method is changed to such a small-scale battle between the cavalry without any fancy on both sides, then the cavalry of the new army, which has fewer cavalry skills and scale, will definitely suffer even more.

In such a process, the cavalry of the new army will inevitably suffer terrible casualties.

But the so-called lesser of two evils, Hu Biao could only reluctantly let these cavalry go up.

As long as they can guarantee that they can successfully drive the army to the city of Yanjing before the 26th, even if the two cavalry divisions are all wiped out, they will admit it with gritted teeth.

And the only thing they can do for the two cavalry divisions is to let as many veterans as possible, who are proficient in archers and horses, lead some elite cavalry to serve as firefighting teams.

Once they saw the sky-piercing monkey exploding, which was a signal for help, they immediately rushed to support it.

With such an order, the most difficult time for the veterans and cavalry divisions began to appear...

******
When I saw the direction of 10 o'clock, about ten miles away, suddenly there was a mass of a large sky-piercing monkey flying into the sky with a sound of 'swish~'.

However, even during the daytime, the burst of flames was still clearly discernible.

Immediately, in Huang Yizhi's mouth, he cursed bitterly:
"These golden cavalry troops are really lingering; don't let me catch this old Bi Deng, Wanyan's mother, or I will kill this grandson~"

After scolding, the master of the West Factory turned his head and glanced at the position behind him, where there were a group of tired elite cavalry.

Knowing these people though, it's best to give them a good rest now.

But the sound of the Sky Piercing Monkey just now meant that the cavalry of our side who were cruising in that direction could hardly stand it anymore.

If they don't hurry to support the past, then the cavalry of the Jinren will take the opportunity to kill the marching army, causing the marching team to stop.

In the end, after gritting his teeth, Huang Yizhi yelled out a sentence:
"Come with me, brothers. I'll add chicken legs to you at night when these golden men are killed and hunted down~"

After saying that, he smacked the belly of the horse under his crotch with his heel; holding a horse spear in his hand, he took the lead in the direction of 10 o'clock and rushed over quickly.

Seeing this, behind him was originally a reinforced cavalry company with about [-] people belonging to you, but now there are only about a hundred knights left.

After looking at each other, they noticed the obvious bitterness and tiredness in the eyes of their comrades.

But they still slapped their horses one after another, and followed the figure of Master Xichang...
