[Chapter 325] Running 380 miles!

(0325)

The gathering point mentioned by Feng Qingwu is the bridgehead where the scattered soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry Army launched an attack. It is actually a very ordinary grassland. The only difference is that there is a small lake nearby. In winter, the lake is particularly calm. From a distance, it looks like an irregular mirror placed in the grassland. This lake has a beautiful name, called Pearl Sea. It is said that if you are lucky, you can collect pearls in it.

There are countless such lakes in the prairie. Unless they are very familiar with the prairie, they will not notice their existence at all. After Feng Qingwu chose this place as the bridgehead for the Diaoqi Army to launch an attack, he set up many tents here to provide personnel rest, replenish ammunition, repair equipment, etc. It can be said that near the Pearl Sea is the small logistics base of the Diaoqi Army.

After giving the order, Feng Qingwu hurriedly rode his horse back to the meeting point of Pearl Sea. As a result, before he could dismount, his face changed immediately. The other Eagle Cavalry scattered soldiers who came back with him also changed their faces at the same time. It turned out that the Eagle Cavalry scattered soldiers who were resting at the Pearl Sea base stood solemnly and looked straight.

Xu Xingxia!

They actually saw Xu Xingxia!

God! Xu Xingxia actually came to Pearl Sea!

Feng Qingwu was subconsciously stunned and felt quite surprised. He never expected that Xu Xingxia had actually arrived at the front line. It was thousands of miles away from Zhenyuan Pass. As the highest commander of the White Army, Xu Xingxia was indeed very interesting to appear here. Could it be that Xu Xingxia was preparing to personally command the scattered soldiers of the Diaoqi Army to launch a more fierce attack on the Helejin tribe? Or is there a greater action behind?

"Master Qianhu! Feng Qingwu reported here!" Feng Qingwu tried hard to stabilize his mind, turned over and dismounted, steadily came to Xu Xingxia, stood attentively, and reported aloud.

"Feng Qingwu, how many people can gather before sunset tomorrow?" Xu Xingxia raised her hand and said bluntly. There was no polite greeting in the middle. In this way, everyone around felt that there must be a big action to be carried out.

"About forty people." Feng Qingwu replied with a refreshing and clear answer. Originally, there were nearly one hundred scattered soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry Army active near the Pearl Sea. However, they were too scattered and it was difficult to communicate. Xu Xingxia requested the time before sunset tomorrow, only one and a half days away from now. With his ability, he could only summon forty people.

"Okay, enough! Time doesn't wait for anyone!" Xu Xingxia nodded and said with a serious expression.

Feng Qingwu was curious and wanted to ask what was going on, so that Xu Xingxia appeared here, and he was preparing to summon the sergeants to act, and the time to summon the sergeants was still so anxious. But in the end, he wisely did not ask. The White Army's confidentiality principle should not be asked, and he still remembered it very clearly.

In fact, Xu Xingxia did not reveal the purpose of the trip at all. In the following time, Xu Xingxia stayed in the tent in the Pearl Sea, silently studying a map he painted himself. Beside him, Wang Xia and Mao Shisan, were like two door gods, blocking all the irrelevant people. Sometimes, Feng Qingwu was also helping to learn more about it. However, except for knowing that this was the basic map of the *** prairie, the possible tasks should be in the *** prairie, there was no other information.

The scattered soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry who came back one after another were naturally puzzled when they found Xu Xingxia in person. With their personality, of course they wanted to know why Xu Xingxia came here and were preparing to lead them to carry out a mysterious mission. However, Xu Xingxia never said that, so they naturally did not dare to ask. The White Army emphasized discipline and the rules of confidentiality were also very fatal, so they certainly did not dare to violate it easily.

"Attention! Lord has orders!" Wang Xiahu announced a series of orders with a face.

Xu Xingxia's order was that every return-returning scattered cavalry must hurry up and rest, and at the same time organize weapons and ammunition, check and equip horses, and prepare for a long-distance raid. He also required in detail that each scattered cavalry must be equipped with two horses, each carrying at least 180 Minnie rounds and equipped with enough launching medicine. At the same time, each person must carry enough for about ten days of fodder, dry food, clean water, medicine, etc.

"What are we going to do? Are we going to sneak attack Hellekin from a long distance?"

Such an order once gave the scattered soldiers of the Diaoqi Army an illusion that Xu Xingxia wanted to lead them to directly attack the Khan camp of the Helejin tribe and kill Helejin directly. Otherwise, what would you do for a long-distance raid? Around the Pearl Sea, Xu Xingxia could lead the team to sneak attack, as if there were no one else except Helejin. However, the Diaoqi Army had only 40 or 50 troops, so she wanted to raid the Khan camp of the Helejin and kill Helejin directly. Isn't this a bit of a joke?

Although the Hellerjin tribe was defeated and their vitality was severely damaged, they could at least gather two or three thousand cavalrymen! In addition to other messy personnel, there were probably 4,000 people. The Diao Cavalry scattered soldiers wanted to kill Hellerjin directly from the two or three thousand Taurus cavalry. Isn't such an action a little too risky? By the way, the continuous combat capability of the Sun and Moon Gun is actually not very strong! Once you encounter a large army of the Taurus cavalry, only retreat is the most feasible method.

Of course, no one thinks there is any problem here. With Xu Xingxia personally leading the team, what is there that they can't handle? Could it be that Xu Xingxia will take them to die with him? This is simply impossible! The confidence of Xu Xingxia and the scattered soldiers of the Diaoqi Army have reached the point of blind admiration.

Perhaps, in places they could not see, other troops of the White-Clothing Army were rushing to catch up! They were just vanguards. After all, the entire White-Clothing Army now had a scale of four or five thousand. If they were all pulled out, it would not be impossible to give the Hellerkin Tatars a surprise and erase them directly. Of course, the premise is that Hellerkin did not know about such a large-scale military operation.

Before sunset the next day, Feng Qingwu summoned all the scattered soldiers and counted the number of people. There were a total of forty-three people. In addition, Mao Shisan, Wang Xia and Xu Xingxia brought by Xu Xingxia, there were a total of forty-six people. This is all the power that Xu Xingxia could use. If he could use such a little force and successfully attack Helejin's Khan's camp, his name would probably spread throughout the prairie again in the shortest time.

Xu Xingxia stood in front of the team, waved her hand vigorously, calming everyone down, and said bluntly: "Brothers, we are going to run 380 miles!"

All the scattered soldiers were full of energy. They were running 380 miles, of course not for sightseeing, but had very special tasks! What could be done by Xu Xingxia in person would definitely not be an ordinary task! With Xu Xingxia personally leading the team, there would be no problem if he ran 380 miles, or 380 miles! However, Xu Xingxia never said about the specific destination, just to make everyone ready to set off.

Some clever stragglers could clearly judge that the destination of their raid should not be Hellekin. Because the Pearl Sea is not 380 miles away from Hellekin's Khan's camp, at most less than 200 miles. Three hundred and eighty miles should be a further goal. Unfortunately, they guessed it but didn't know what valuable targets were, which were 380 miles away. If it was the Eridun tribe, it would be too far away.

"Go!" Xu Xingxia waved his hand and ordered the troops to set off. Wang Xia and Mao Shisan led the way in front, and other scattered soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry followed behind them, while Xu Xingxia and Feng Qingwu broke the back personally. This formation was a bit strange, as if they were afraid of someone leaking the secrets. In fact, on the road, Xu Xingxia did repeatedly emphasize the code of confidentiality, which inevitably made the group of scattered soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry feel that the mission was even more mysterious.

Along the way, the scattered soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry Army could tell that they were galloping northeast. Wang Xia and Mao Sanshi must have known the destination. They had been active here before and were very familiar with the surrounding terrain. Otherwise, Xu Xingxia would not have asked them to lead the way. Unfortunately, the two of them were also dull and refused to reveal any information. They rode their horses silently, and after they arrived at the Yellow River, the direction of their advance turned to the east and continued to speed towards Guihua City.

Along the way, Xu Xingxia led them, like ghosts, marched desperately, and ignored everything around them. When they met sporadic Tartars, they chose to take a detour. This deepened everyone's doubts. What exactly should Xu Xingxia take them to do? Could it be that he was going to sneak attack Lin Danhan in Guihua City? God, if that was the case, the battle would be too exciting. It must be known that Lin Danhan had 50,000 iron-sprayed cavalry under his command! Forty or fifty people, against 50,000, which is too exaggerated!

The scattered soldiers of the Diaoqi Army took two days and two nights to arrive. Perhaps outsiders think this time is a bit long. If there is a war horse to travel, it will take two days and two nights to walk for 380 miles? If the war horses are racing at full speed, two days and two nights will be enough to walk five or six hundred miles.

In fact, there is basically no road in the vast grassland, so you have to choose your own road to move forward. It is impossible to speed up at full speed. In addition, you have to avoid the sporadic Tartars, which has been delayed for part of the time. It is already quite good to be able to complete this journey in two days and two nights. This is what everyone can do if they rotate two war horses. If there is only one war horse, it will probably take three days and three nights to arrive.
