Taking this dangerous pass, the Tang army made rapid progress, and before the Franks could react, the mountain soldiers of the Tang army exerted their foot skills and rushed forward at a speed not inferior to that of the cavalry, and traveled 200 kilometers in three days!

The infantry is also crazy!

This Cheng Boxi does not want the rear, regardless of reinforcements, or even heavy weapons... Artillery, catapults, and thunderbolts were all left behind, with 25,000 men and 5,000 men, and they rushed deep behind enemy lines at once.

Take it in stride!

The troops marched quickly, and the feet of the soldiers flew forward as if they did not touch the ground, and they were all sweating profusely.

There are not many horses, and only horses can keep up with the team, not donkeys.

Naturally, the commanders rode it, and there were doctors and nurses, with the horse-drawn carts in the back to contain the stragglers, and some of the horses were responsible for preparing the supply depots: drinking water and food, with an emphasis on drinking water.

The men and horses scattered and strode across the verdant fields.

Regardless of everything, overcome all difficulties, encounter the enemy on the way, fight in the field, and cross the city defense.

The soldiers scrambled to be the first, each not giving in, running out of breath, sweating, and pale, but still desperately walking on their legs, leaning forward and hurrying forward.

Almost everyone is ugly: sweat runs down their faces, and a few rivers of mud wash down their faces... The soldiers in front of them trampled on the grass and made the dust high, and the dirt raised came to their faces, like a few insects crawling on the music, and some of them would cover their faces with veils, but soon they were soaked like their clothes, and their clothes were as hot as smoke, and the soldiers' feet were like iron plates, and the ground trembled.

Mountain soldiers have been trained in long-distance training, and it is common to practice long-distance running, but this is the first time that they have walked in this way, not so much by physical strength, but by will.

"Some of the soldiers are left behind!" Chief of Staff Zheng Huai, who rode alongside Cheng Boxi, said.

"If you fall behind, you will be left behind!" Cheng Boxi doesn't care about authenticity.

"General, you're too aggressive!" Zheng Huai disagreed with his strategy.

There are only 30,000 people, and they have broken through to the center of the enemy, and they want to play the center of flowering?

Don't play around, it's too dangerous!

Although Cheng Boxi's status was very high, the atmosphere of daring to speak up was prevalent in the army, and Zheng Huai was not afraid of his status in affairs.

This dispatch was carried out under the strong order of Cheng Boxi, and Zheng Huai did not agree.

Cheng Boxi smiled and said, "I know!" ”

"You know and you're going?" Zheng Huai's face showed anger, you must know that Cheng Boxi's identity is not trivial, he is the brother of the supreme commander, if something happens to him, the impact will be far-reaching!

There are still 30,000 people, and if they are annihilated, it will also be a heavy loss.

Recently, due to the tactical confrontation, the number of casualties of the Tang Army is not much, and the loss of 30,000 people is definitely big news.

He was angry, but Cheng Boxi had his own set of words: "I think we are a little conservative, look at what we look like!" Some people are cowardly, afraid of dying on the eve of victory and dare not fight, and some people are beginning to enjoy the fruits of victory, but are we victorious? No, only when the prince announced that he had stopped the western expedition could he put Nanshan weapons into the warehouse, and everyone would be blessed and rewarded to God. ”

Hearing his words, Zheng Huai was a little surprised, because he had also had the above situation before.

Cheng Boxi said leisurely while controlling the horse: "I once heard the prince talk about the catfish effect, saying that fishermen transport sardines, and live fish is the best to sell, so fishermen will put a catfish in the fish tank full of live sardines, this kind of fish swims around, and the sardines are very nervous, rushing left and right, dodging everywhere, speeding up swimming, maintaining activity, and being able to return to the fishing port alive." "You mean you want to make this catfish?" Zheng Huai said angrily, he was worried about triggering the enemy to attack, you won't be a dead catfish, right?!

Seeing that his face was not good, Cheng Boxi didn't know what he was thinking, and said without annoyance: "I'm a catfish, I'm a dangerous catfish, not only for my enemies, but also for our troops, I want to stimulate their fighting spirit, I want to lead all troops to attack bravely!" ”

This guy actually said proudly: "If I die on the front line, what do you think will happen?!" ”

Zheng Huai was so shocked by his heartfelt words that he almost fell off his horse!

If Cheng Boxi dies, it will cause an uproar, whether it is for his own people or the enemy: at that time, Wei Xi will not care about the major event of going to meet Wu Zetian this year, and immediately rush to the front line, personally command the battle, and avenge his brother.

His thunderous wrath will wipe out the Franks!

And those generals who were responsible for cooperating with Cheng Boxi in the battle were miserable, they actually let the prince's brother die, can Wei Xi not pursue them?

Thinking of this, Zheng Huai couldn't help but smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Cheng Boxi asked.

"I'm laughing at the fact that those generals heard you act like this, and they were afraid that they would scold you enough to pierce your heart with ten thousand arrows!" Zheng Huai said it.

The generals who learned the news, in order to keep Cheng Boxi, will definitely arch forward hard!

"Hahaha!" Cheng Boxi laughed: "We have reinforcements outside, and when we get to the right place, we will immediately hold on to see who can break through my defense!" ”

"That's right!" Zheng Huai raised his whip and shouted: "Brothers, run, the general said, the bonus coins that arrived first!" ”

Gold coins are definitely a good thing, and the market is circulating paper money, copper coins, and silver coins, while gold is almost non-circulating, which is very precious and rare.

The general said, "Yay! The mood of the fighters immediately lifted, and the steps of the originally tired ones quickened.

Cheng Boxi shrugged his shoulders and recognized Zheng Huai's words, he was still qualified to reward the soldiers with gold coins.

Everyone ran hard, the sound of neat footsteps, getting faster and faster, I didn't even feel it, I didn't even need the officer to shout slogans in the heavy and crowded ranks to speed up the pace, every pair of squinted blazing eyes, staring into the distance, run!

Deep behind enemy lines, their morale was strong, and the troops knew very well that they had fallen into the land of four battles, unlike cavalry, cavalry could maneuver and was not afraid of the enemy's encirclement, but the infantry did not have this condition.

They were also very tired, and they traveled day and night, but the Tang infantry still did one thing properly, as many as 80 percent of the members were young men under the age of 20 (the cavalry was mostly veterans), and they marched quickly for three days and rested for one day, and soon became alive and well.

The area I arrived at was almost the "Verdun" area of the Frankish Kingdom, and it was all at once!

Verdun, with its terticity and many hills, has a famous slave market because of the main communication route between the East and the West, mainly dealing in the slave trade of Jews and West Asians from the East.

When the Tang army arrived, the Franks in Verdun never dreamed that the Tang army would come so quickly, and as a result, the huge amount of ill-gotten gains obtained from the slave trade was confiscated by the Tang army representing justice, and then tens of thousands of slaves were rescued, their freedom was declared, and the strong ones were selected to become the imperial army, and at once 6,000 more people joined the army, and tens of thousands of people (slaves) built cities for them! 21010
