Chapter 48 Before the battle
The more than 200 people who came down from the mountain were naturally led by Gao Shun. The number of people was small and the journey was fast.
This place is less than forty miles away from Niujiao Cliff, which is twenty kilometers. These more than two hundred people are soldiers trained by Zhao Yun. The combat effectiveness is not as good as Gao Shun's soldiers, but their physical strength is still good. After all, Zhao Yun doesn't know how to train his troops, and he only knows how to exercise his physical fitness.
Long-distance raids are their daily must-have courses, once in the morning and evening, lasting for more than half a year, making it very relaxing for them.
One reason is that when the three families lead the soldiers of the mansion into the ambush, the ambush must give them a head-on blow, and they must gain the upper hand, gain advantage, expand the results of the battle, and damage the morale of the other party.
To achieve this effect, it is undoubtedly more suitable for the 100 elite soldiers trained by Gao Shun.
Yunquan followed behind with people, and he had broken his legs. Poor that his dignified head of the Yun family had to endure such hardship.
There is no way, he must come. As the head of the family, he must set an example. Zhao Yun's behavior has seriously provoked the majesty of the three families and must be severely punished to recover. He cannot do so without showing up.
But he was still a little overwhelmed by his pampering habits. Even though he was riding a horse, he had never suffered any hardships. The rich man who had suffered such a bumpy horse was also unable to bear it.
He was like this when riding a horse, not to mention those soldiers. It was a ferocious death when running with his legs alone.
As a government soldier and a force supported by the three families, the government soldiers have good food, but they are just not bad, which is absolutely not good. Moreover, they usually only act as a hero in the city and scare the common people. It is really difficult for them to make them run for forty miles a long distance.
But it’s not OK to chase after you. People can run, why can’t you run?
Physical strength is also one of the key points that Zhao Yun and Gao Shun consider. If they were regular soldiers, they would definitely not dare to do this.
First, regular troops will have to practice less every day. No matter how incompetent generals are, as long as they know how to train troops, they will definitely practice physical fitness like Zhao Yun without saying anything else.
Second, the combat capabilities of the regular army are not comparable to those of these military soldiers. When the number of people is too large, Zhao Yun cannot guarantee that he can lead a few hundred people to fight enemies several times that of his. Even if he can fight, there will be a lot of casualties.
The reason is that the reason why Zhao Yun dared to do such a thing is that although the people from the three families are powerful and have strong financial resources, the power under his command is actually that small.
Under Yunquan's continuous command, the three families gathered one after another, and the number of people increased, so Gao Shun was not in a hurry.
He knew that it would be difficult for the people behind to catch up with these soldiers. If he had to shake off his speed, these people would definitely not be able to catch up. Zhao Yun taught him that he would not be able to jog slowly, not only to make the other party unable to catch up, but also to make the other party feel that he would be able to catch up!
In fact, it is to consume their physical strength to the greatest extent. When the other party is too close, the distance is opened in time. If the distance is too far, then slow down a little.
As long as this kind of thing is made sense, it is easy to do.
After running for nearly two hours at a distance of twenty kilometers, Gao Shun was a little panting.
He turned around and asked, "Do you still have the power to fight?"
The soldiers immediately replied: "Yes!"
The sound is not too loud, and they are afraid of scaring the people behind them. Although they are tired, they are not exhausted. After all, they are running every day. And the main force will be not them later. They just play a role in resisting and surrounding them.
I could already see Niujiao Cliff, Gao Shun said: "Try more hard and it's almost here!"
Watching Gao Shun and his men run into Niujiao Cliff, Yunquan roared: "There is a dead end ahead, so chase me!"
The two thousand,500 soldiers of the palace were exhausted. If the three families had not accumulated too much power in Bingzhou and had they been obeying the orders of the three families, they would have probably sat on the ground and refused to leave at this moment.
There were 2,500 people, more than a thousand meters away, with no image at all. Many people even took off their armor and hung it on them!
Because the armor kept rubbing against the skin on the body during the running, it was really painful. From noon to now, many people have worn their skin. When did these soldiers suffer such pain? Naturally, they can't stand it.
Not all of the three families are stupid, at least Yunwei is not.
He also rode a horse and looked at Yunquan, "Uncle, the position of Niujiao Cliff is easy to defend and difficult to attack! The number of opponents must be more than two hundred people, didn't Zhao Yun say that? At least there are more than one thousand people. If the opponent is ambushing inside and waiting for work, can these guys behind him who can't even hold weapons firmly, be the opponent?"
Yunquan smiled and said, "Don't worry, they have been running, how can I not know that they are looking for help? Are they trying to bring us into their ambush?"
Yun Wei asked, "Why don't you know what uncle has to do?"
Yunquan said: "We won't go in later. Niujiao Cliff is a cliff on one side and a river on the other side. There is a mountain blocking the side. Around that mountain, it is the exit of the other direction of Niujiao Cliff. Wait for me to take people to guard the entrance where they enter, and you will take another 1,500 people around the mountain and guard the exit there. There are more than a thousand of us around, so I will transfer them over. At that time, these soldiers in the palace should have almost rested. We will attack together, and under the attack from front and back, what can they do if they have ambush?"
Yun Wei's eyes lit up, "Uncle is really amazing. I didn't expect you to be well versed in military use!"
"Hahaha!" Yunquan laughed.
Soon, they also came to the entrance of Niujiao Cliff, and they could see the last group of people who were led by Gao Shun bypassing the corner.
Yunquan ordered the army to stop, and the people behind him fell to the ground and sat down immediately, and some even lay down. Twenty kilometers, it was really difficult for them to run over!
It started running from noon and ran until afternoon, and didn't even have to drink saliva, which was a death-taking!
Yunquan frowned at their appearance, but said nothing. Even the man on the horse was exhausted, let alone those of them who ran on their legs?
After resting on site for less than five minutes, Yunquan asked Yun Wei to take his men away, and bypassed the mountain on the right and went to another exit to guard. The distance was not far, and it was less than a thousand meters away.
The soldiers of the palace stood up almost wailing, and Yun Wei yelled: "Everyone is cheered up and I will reward you if I destroy this group of thieves! After the war, each person will be rewarded with one gold, and each person will be rewarded with another gold. If you can kill ten people, I will promote you to be the centurion!"
As the saying goes, "There must be a brave man under a heavy reward." One gold is almost equivalent to ten thousand yuan! All the soldiers in the mansion were shining with their eyes and immediately came motivation.
Yunquan nodded in admiration and looked at Yun Wei with satisfaction.
Zhao Yun alone robbed more than 10,000 gold from bandits everywhere, so it was nothing to promise these soldiers that this reward was nothing. To the greatest extent, each person's reward was one gold, and one of them would not die, which was only 2,500 gold. The other party had a full battle of two thousand people, and it would be 2,000 gold, and it would be 2,000 gold. It would be 2,000 gold, and it would be less than 5,000 gold!
This is still the most ideal state, and in fact there is no need to pay so much money. However, it can inspire the fighting spirit of these soldiers, and it is cost-effective no matter how you calculate it.
Among the juniors of the Yun family, Yunquan already admires Yun Wei and is even more satisfied at this moment.
