Chapter 1814 Ben Lei Went to the Border (1)
"Boom~"
On the black plains, endless cavalry were advancing rapidly along the smooth official road, the sound of horse hooves deafening.
The huge military flags fluttered against the blowing autumn wind.
The military flag has a black background and uses silver thread to show a thunder pattern. The thunder pattern flutters with the autumn wind, like lightning piercing the night sky.
Great Liang Thunder Rider!
This elite cavalry, which had been stationed at Jianmen Pass for many years and rarely participated in border battles, finally left the dangerous pass. They were Xinji's only hope to save the crisis in Liaodong.
Ten thousand galloping horses are all of one person and two horses. The knights on the horses are all wearing single clothes, with sharp blades hanging from their waists. The cold-gleaming spears and armors are all tied to the back of another war horse to save soldiers to the greatest extent.
physical strength.
Those unmounted war horses seemed to have spirituality, automatically following their masters. If the cavalry was fast, they would be faster, and if the cavalry was slow, they would be slower. Even the turns were almost the same.
This was the only elite cavalry in the Liang army that was famous for its long-distance raids, which frightened the Yan army.
"Boom!"
The long and narrow cavalry formation looks chaotic, but in fact the soldiers can maintain a certain formation among themselves.
At the very least, every centurion can roughly know where his soldiers are. Some soldiers may be exhausted, or they may fall behind the army due to the strength of their horses, and that's okay.
There are three hundred elite cavalry at the rear of the military formation, specially used to break up the rear and take in the stragglers.
Although the Thunder Riders rarely appear on the battlefield, every one or two months, the Thunder Riders will practice a long-distance attack, ranging from more than a hundred miles to three to four hundred miles. Anyway, the huge Yanyun Land is enough for them.
The cavalry galloped vertically and horizontally, always in a battle-ready state.
Therefore, regarding the problems that may arise during long-distance marches, Benleiqi has already strived for excellence and strived to be watertight.
"Boom~"
The sound of horse hooves echoed endlessly in the vast black land, and the riding formation was like a sharp arrow, pointing directly at the border and the Chifeng City!
There are two resolute faces at the front of the army. They are Xie Xiaolei, the coach of Benlei Cavalry, and Bian Luan, the deputy commander.
It only took Xie Xiaolei one night to assemble the army and leave the city after receiving Xin Ji's emergency report.
In order to dispatch troops quickly, the best condition of the Thunder Cavalry should have been one man and three horses, but now they only have one man and two horses.
Each soldier only carried three meals of rations and a water bag with him, which was all the supplies they could prepare at the moment.
It was more than two hundred miles from Jianmen Pass to Chifeng City. The horse materials needed for the war horses were arranged by the scouts in advance from the counties along the way. At the very least, it was ensured that the war horses would not die on the way.
The reason why there was such a rapid response along the Tanzhou line was due to the large and complete logistics system created by Leng Guinan.
Before the soldiers and horses move, the food and fodder will go first!
"Boom!"
Just half an hour ago, Ben Leiqi took a short rest and ate the last meal of rations he carried with him.
Because they are only thirty miles away from Chifeng City, there may not be time for them to rest and eat.
"Da da da~"
The sound of rapid horse hoofbeats suddenly sounded, and Xie Xiaolei, who had sharp eyes, was the first to see a group of scouts galloping towards them in the distance on the horizon. At first glance, they were the Qingqi of his own cavalry who were sent out to investigate.
Xie Xiaolei raised his hand without hesitation, and bursts of roars instantly rang out from the army:
"The army stops!"
"The army stops~"
The military order was delivered through plain language and low-pitched horns, and the long and narrow cavalry formation quickly came to a halt.
Without any orders from the commander, each cavalryman was gathering towards his centurion, and the huge military formation was rearranged silently.
The group of four or five scouts rushed to Xie Xiaolei in the blink of an eye, and the cavalry on horseback shouted in a deep voice:
"Report to General! Less than ten miles ahead, we found a large group of Yan Army cavalry marching rapidly. There are over 10,000 troops, holding high the military flag in the shape of a silver falcon on a yellow background.
Judging from the marching direction, the Yan army should be rushing towards the Tanzhou City area!"
Xie Xiaolei and Bian Luan's hearts trembled at the same time, and their faces turned completely dark.
Although they immediately organized their troops and set off after receiving the military order, they still found it difficult to believe that the Yan army could attack Chifeng City from the direction of Jizhou.
But now, the yellow-backed silver falcon flag, one of the main forces of the Eight Banners of the Yan Army, is marching openly and openly in Liaodong. This means that Chifeng City has been destroyed!
Something big happened!
What a big deal!
Xie Xiaolei pursed his lips lightly and uttered only two words:
"Prepare for war!"
Bian Luan on the side turned his head and shouted angrily without hesitation:
"The whole army is ready for war!
Change your horse! Put on your armor!"
"promise!"
"General's order! Change horses! Put on armor!"
"General's order! Change horses! Put on armor!"
…
The roars quickly spread through the army, and the entire Thunder Cavalry started to move.
Bian Luan looked at Xie Xiaolei with a solemn face and said in a deep voice:
"If thousands of Yan troops enter, Chifeng City will definitely be breached. I don't know how many Yan troops there are."
Until this moment, Bian Luan still couldn't figure out how the Yan army could come from that direction. The Chang family had no early warning information at all.
The entire defense layout of Tanzhou was directed towards the north, and they never considered deploying heavy troops to the east.
"No matter how strong the Yan army is, I, the Benlei Cavalry, can only fight once!"
Xie Xiaolei's face was expressionless. This young coach has always had a crazy spirit in his heart.
Xie Xiaolei turned to look at the scout and shouted:
"All the scouts immediately retreated, holding our Ben Lei Cavalry flag, to notify the entire territory of Tanzhou!
When the Yan army entered, all city gates were immediately closed and no one was allowed to go out.
Reporting back to Mr. Tong Lao and Xin Duhu, if my whole army of Benlei Cavalry is wiped out, I hope they can defend Liaodong and repel the Yan thieves!"
"promise!"
After hearing this, the scout captain's eyes turned red and he rode away without hesitation.
When Xie Xiaolei and Bian Luan turned around to look at all the soldiers, ten thousand Benlei Cavalry were already wearing armor and holding long guns, standing quietly on the black soil of Liaodong.
The whole place was filled with a sense of murderous aura!
Xie Xiaolei rode his horse slowly and shouted loudly:
"Soldiers of the Thunder Cavalry!"
"exist!"
"This general can tell you that the Yan army has entered the country from Chifeng City!
The black soil of Liaodong is about to be ignited! Tens of thousands of innocent people will face the butcher knife of Yan thieves!
As a frontier soldier, what should you do?"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Three roars shot straight into the sky.
Xie Xiaolei rode his horse eastward and shouted loudly:
"Liaodong Protectorate, written by Xin Ji himself!
If Chifeng City is lost, the safety of Liaodong will depend on Ben Leiqi!
I hope General Xiao will tell all the officers and men in the army that even if Ben Leiqi fights to the last soldier, they will still prevent the Yan army from deepening!
Those who are timid will be killed without mercy!
Liaodong will win! Daliang will win!"
This is a passage from Xin Ji's military order to Xie Xiaolei, and now Xie Xiaolei clearly conveyed it to the ears of every soldier.
What answered Xie Xiaolei was murderous intent rising from the sky.
Xie Xiaolei said no more, rode his horse eastward, and shouted sternly:
Chapter completed!
