My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 1968
October 26, the second year of Yongping.

The last remnant soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin were dispatched in the capital of the Kingdom of Jin, and finally in the territory of the Turkic Moluo tribe, and the month-long migration came to an end.

Since most of their migration routes were based on the border between the ancestral land of the Jin Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom’s court, more than 20 soldiers and horses from the Six Guards of the New Army of the Northern Expedition were ordered by Yunyang to take advantage of the speed of the cavalry to deal with the mixed Jin The remnants of the country chased and intercepted them, but in the end it had little effect.

Firstly, Dalong's map has not been extended to the terrain outside the Kingdom of Jin, and he is really not familiar with the terrain, which has caused great inconvenience to the march.

Second, the suspicious strategy arranged by the Queen and the others confused their vision. With a radius of fifty miles as the depth, there were footprints of horseshoes and infantry everywhere.

The six guards of the new army really couldn't figure out which road was the real main force of the remnant soldiers.

Concentration of troops will often lead to empty space, and then re-plan the pursuit route. The enemy is already hundreds of miles away. If the troops are scattered, they are afraid of being ambushed by the enemy.

Due to various factors, only a small number of remnants of the Jin Kingdom were captured, and the real main force of the remnant enemy, under the siege and interception of the new army's six guard cavalry, made a mighty detour into the Turkic territory, completing the combination of troops.

Looking at the enemy, Cheng Kai and the six men led their soldiers and horses in pursuit to the Moluo River on the border of Jintu, and had to stop, not daring to rush in alone.

Riding their horses and raising their whips all the way, under the pursuit action of galloping and attacking, they have already opened an unknown distance from the main infantry.

I didn't dare to go deep rashly, not because I was afraid of being ambushed by the Turks and the remnant enemies of the Jin Kingdom, but because I didn't have much dry food on my body.

In the grassland at the end of October, the grass was withered and yellow, and the horses still had something to eat, but the soldiers couldn't live on grass like the horses.

After the first battle of the Kingdom of Jin, there were 30 cavalry in the six guards, and now there are about 26 left. With the Turks and the cavalry from the ancestral land of the Kingdom of Jin attacking me, and supporting the main siege infantry from time to time, the six guards of the new army All were damaged, and the combined casualties amounted to nearly [-] people.

With 26 cavalry in hand, Cheng Kai and the others are not afraid to be enemies with any soldiers and horses on the Turkic grasslands.

Once they encounter the main force of hundreds of thousands of Jintu alliance, if they can't beat it, they will retreat in a roundabout way, and then wait for an opportunity to attack again when the enemy's defense is empty.

But all the premise has to be established in the case of sufficient food and grass.

Only when there is enough food and grass, can the army go deep alone on the vast grassland, travel long distances, and fight in great depth.

Therefore, when food and grass could not be replenished in time, Cheng Kai and Zhou Baoyu discussed many times and gave up their plan to venture into Turkic territory to fight.

It's cold enough in October.

At this time last year, heavy snow had already covered the Turks. In the territory of the Kingdom of Jin, although the wind and snow did not have generals for a long time this year, no one dared to ignore the potential crisis.

If soon after entering Turkic, heavy snow arrives suddenly, not to mention people will have nothing to eat, even war horses will have nothing to eat.

At that time, it was a deadly threat to the cavalry.

The generals who have been under Liu Mingzhi's command for many years have won the habit of the commander-in-chief Liu Mingzhi, and they are determined not to fight uncertain battles.

Before the expedition, the commander strictly asked himself and others to take the brothers back. The few of them dare not forget the lecture.

It is important to make meritorious deeds, but you can't take the lives of your brothers as a trifling matter.

There are more than 20 elite iron cavalry, if something goes wrong, even if I and others are punished by the Nine Clans, I can hardly escape the blame.

What's more, the army was accompanied by His Royal Highness and two sons, so it was even more sloppy.

Over the endless wilderness of the Morro River.

More than 20 cavalry are boundless.

The three Liu Chengfeng brothers rode their horses towards Cheng Kai and the others. Today, the three brothers are less immature and more resolute.

"Uncle, why did you stop and stop chasing?"

Cheng Kai and others, who got off their horses to check the map, turned around and looked at Liu Chengfeng's question.

"Chengfeng, we are short of food and grass now, if we continue to go deeper, once we lose contact with the main force behind and the army of food and grass on the grassland, I am afraid that we will face the danger of running out of food and grass.

Now we have to stop and wait for the handsome and them!
Otherwise, once the food and grass are exhausted, we will starve to death in the vast grassland even if we will not die under the ambushes of the Turks and the remnants of the Jin Kingdom. "

Cheng Kai and the others had already explained, and only then did the three brothers know what was going on, and they also put away their doubts and stopped talking.

Zhou Baoyu looked at the three sensible brothers with a light smile, and rolled up the map in his hand.

"Lao Cheng, Lao Ye, Buer, Lao Chu, Lao Ning, I think we should base our camps on Xingzhou, Muzhou, and Jinzhou and wait for the arrival of the main force from the rear.

Now the three cities have been owned by Dalong. We can escape the cold by entering the city. Once the Turkic and Jin allied forces take the initiative to visit, we will also have the advantage of advancing and retreating. "

Cheng Kai and the others discussed for a while, and Ye Baotong waved his hand, signaling Cheng Kai and the five of them to move forward and talk.

The six looked around at the brother who got off his horse and looked around, and walked not far away.

"Lao Ye, what do you say first, making it so mysterious."

Ye Baotong looked around, and deliberately lowered his voice: "I think we shouldn't take the initiative to wait for the arrival of the main force and join forces with them, but should send brothers along the way to help them go and take over the food and grass to supplement our consumption. "

Several people looked at each other, thought for a while, and seemed to understand what Ye Baotong meant.

"You mean the Turkic War, we still have our own army?"

Ye Baotong nodded solemnly: "Yes, that's what I mean. The battle on the grassland should be dominated by cavalry, and then united with infantry. Although it can relieve the pressure on some infantry, the advantage of our cavalry will be the biggest constraint. .

Among our six guards and horses, none of the guards and horses have gone deep into the hinterland of the grassland alone in the previous national wars, and have rich experience in grassland combat.

Compared with siege of cities and villages, grassland warfare is dominated by cavalry. If infantry is the main force, our casualties may increase exponentially.

So I think it is still a self-contained army, helping each other.

Our six guards have worked together for many years, and we have cooperated seamlessly. We don't have such a tacit understanding with the predecessors of the six guards in northern Xinjiang.

It is better to form an army of our own and give full play to our advantages.

Isn't that what the prince meant? "

Cheng Kai and the others fell silent, holding their chins and thinking.

"agree!"

"Seconded!"

"agree."

Cheng Kai and the others agreed with Ye Baotong's intention after a little thought.

"Let's go to the city to discuss this matter. For now, we should go to the city first to repair it. The weather in Turkic is so damn sinful. We must send a message to the old commander to send a message to the court to prepare cotton clothes for the winter.

Otherwise, I am afraid that this winter will be difficult.

Today's city is ours, so we can't tear down our own houses and start a fire to keep warm! "

"Okay, let's go to the city first and discuss who will be dispatched to take over the grain and grass."

Under the command of six people, 20 soldiers and horses entered Jinzhou in two directions, and Xingzhou was repaired.

Two days later, a few people had just discussed the general who would take over the grain and grass, and crystal snowflakes fell from the dark sky.

The winter in the Northland came again without warning, which declared that the plan of the Northern Expedition Army Turks had to be shelved.

Half a month later, under the leadership of Yunyang and others, the main infantry of the Northern Expedition army settled in Jinzhou, Songzhou, Xingzhou, and Muzhou against the wind and snow for repair.

The generals in Yunyang also started to work on the latest battle report.

However, they didn't know that the timely heavy snow made the queen see new hope.

Because of the heavy snow, it meant that Dalong's plan to relocate the people to gradually settle in the Kingdom of Jin had to be shelved.

Now Dalong's soldiers and horses have all chased to the grassland.

It means that the territory and city they conquered will become an empty land except for a small number of troops stationed there.

It is not impossible for the people who went to their ancestral land at this time to migrate back to spend this severe winter.

Under the ice and snow, more than a dozen golden eagles pierced the sky and soared away against the wind and snow.
