Without the drag of the infantry, the marching speed of the Sima army's cavalry was really much faster, although in order to bypass Jiexiu, the Sima army made a big circle, but it only took less than a day, the army had already arrived in the Jingling area, and it was only more than sixty miles away from Qi County.

The target of Sima Jun's attack this time was Qi County, so after starting from Jiexiu, all the way to the north, the cities of Wu County, Zhongdu, and Jingling along the way didn't bother to take a look, and they went around the city without the slightest pause.

The 70,000 cavalry was so great that it was like locusts crossing the border, coming all over the mountains, and frightened the defenders of these cities to close their gates, and they were very nervous.

These cities are just ordinary small county towns, and there are no city defenses and garrisons like Jiexiu at all, if the Sima army comes to attack the city, these cities are actually vulnerable, and they will not be able to resist any attack at all.

However, the army led by Sima Yi this time are all cavalry, and the cavalry does not have the ability to attack the city, even if there is, Sima Yi also disdains these small cities, his current goal is only the 30,000 cavalry of the Bingzhou army, only by defeating this cavalry, can the war situation in Bingzhou be truly solved, as for these small counties, when Jinyang is broken, these cities are not ready to surrender, why do you need Sima Yi to do it himself.

The iron cavalry rumbled, the dust and smoke were billowing, and the defenders of those cities had already been frightened, such a torrent of iron cavalry, just looking at it was already dizzy, if they really had to come to attack the city, I was afraid that even the people who led the city would become powder.

However, after watching Sima Dajun gallop and gallop away, completely ignoring their cities, the defenders can finally breathe a long sigh, it is too scary, but fortunately it is fine.

Watching Sima's army rushing towards the north, these defenders were secretly worried, could such a vast army be able to resist the men and horses of Bingzhou?

However, this is no longer something they can worry about, an unprecedented cavalry battle is about to begin, and what they see is only the tip of the iceberg of this storm.

"Taifu Qi, there are still sixty miles away from Qi County, and no trace of the Bingzhou cavalry has been found." The scouts sent out reported the military situation to Sima Yi in a timely manner.

Sima Yi looked at the dying sunset, waved his hand, and said: "Order the whole army to stop advancing, camp and rest in place, and strengthen vigilance!" ”

At this time, it is not far from the front line of the battle, and even this distance is completely negligible for the cavalry, the more critical the time, Sima Yi is more and more cautious, seeing that it is getting late, Sima Yi naturally can not move forward in the dark, at this time, he needs to calm down and be quiet, camping and resting in place is the best choice, in the case of the unknown enemy situation, it is the best policy to brake quietly.

What's more, after a day's journey, Sima Jun will inevitably be sleepy and tired, and at this time, proper rest can restore the physical strength of soldiers and war horses, and better store strength for the next battle.

Of course, rest is not the same as relaxation, even in the safest rear, Sima Yi has never slackened when setting up camp, not to mention that in this most dangerous area, preventing enemy attacks has naturally become the primary task, and the vigilance around the camp is naturally of the highest level.

The camp tent set up by Sima Jun is the simplest camp tent, only a tent with a roof, and all other camp facilities are free, and even the minimum fence has not been set up, which is also a way for the cavalry to camp temporarily, after all, the cavalry marches alone, and it is impossible to equip logistics troops such as baggage battalions, so naturally it is impossible to set up an ordinary camp with complete defense facilities.

However, although the camp tent is simple, but 70,000 horses gather together, this kind of temporary camp is also huge, rows of tents are in order, stretching for more than ten miles, magnificent.

The food of the cavalry army is also very simple, basically dry food with water, a relatively thick and hard dough cake, must be broken and soaked in water to eat, in addition to the dough cake, each person can also get two dried meat strips and two carrots, in fact, there are vegetables, meat and staple food, the food of the Sima army cavalry is still very good.

Although there was no baggage battalion, there was still a special logistics support team to transport and distribute the food, although the food was relatively simple, but the food for 70,000 people was also a very large number, after camping, the logistics team was busy, and the whole basket of bread, meat strips and carrots were carried over and distributed to the Sima cavalry in a row.

Due to the limited staffing of the logistics team, and the cavalry in line almost formed a long line, the long wait inevitably made these cavalrymen complain.

Sima Zhao was patrolling the army, and when he heard the complaints of the soldiers and looked at the long dragon that could not be seen at a glance, he couldn't help but be angry, it was so troublesome to eat a meal, how much time it would take to spend on it.

Originally, the pace of the cavalry march was relatively fast, so as to seize the time to eat and rest, so as to ensure that there was enough physical strength and energy to fight tomorrow, but now it is good, just eating, it will take a long time, and the time here is wasted, how can we ensure that there is enough time to rest.

Why are these logistics workers so inefficient?

Sima Zhao carried a horsewhip and went straight to the front in a daze. At the end of the long line, dozens of logistics soldiers were distributing food to the cavalry, all of them were sweating profusely, their waists were bent like shrimp, and their heads were almost buried in baskets.

But despite their busyness, the queue continued unabated, and the voices of complaints kept coming and going.

Sima Zhao shouted angrily and said loudly: "Who is responsible here, get out of here!" ”

The person in charge of this point is a lieutenant named Chen Yang, and it stands to reason that with his position, he doesn't have to work, just command and command his subordinates, but there are few people in the logistics team, and he can't be busy, so he has to intervene and help move and unload the basket from the car.

As soon as Chen Yang picked up a basket from the car, he heard Sima Shi's roar, which made him tremble, so he threw the basket to the ground, and the dough in the basket rolled to the ground, and two of them even rolled to Sima Zhao's feet, covered with dust.

Everyone was stunned, and their eyes all looked at this side, not knowing how this situation would end.

Originally, Sima Zhao was on the fire, but seeing Chen Yang spilling the dough cake on the ground, he was even more angry, anger rose from his heart, and evil was born to the side of his guts, he waved the horsewhip in his hand, and smoked it fiercely on Chen Yang's face.
