C1625 Difficult march (1/2)

Thirty thousand cavalrymen, along with nearly sixty thousand war horses, were resting on the north bank of the Black Dragon River. The entire land was shrouded in endless darkness, and the setting sun was pressing down on the western horizon, casting the last of the afterglow onto the earth.

Leading his three teachers, Captain Fajeev rushed to a high ground on the north shore of Black Dragon River, raised his binoculars and looked at the Jiang Southern Bank.

On the other side of the wide river was a field of hills and dense forests, the ends of his vision still seemed to be able to see the town's firelight. After carefully checking the map, Fajeev confirmed that he had taken the right road.

”The mountain on the other side of the river is called 'An Luo Mountain', and the town at the foot of the mountain is called 'An Luo Town'.” The mountain on the other side of the river is called 'An Luo Mountain, and the town at the foot of the mountain is' An Luo Town '.

The leader of the Third Division, Qi Kefu, looked at the map and cursed in a low voice, ”If only there was a path in front of us, we could have just crossed the river and killed our way to the rich Qing Province to save supplies …”

Qi Kefu's words resonated with everyone. They turned around to look at the great army that had blotted out the sky and covered the earth, and although their auras were astonishing, everyone was very clear that the soldiers had squeezed out all of their strength to the limit, and were persevering right now with one breath in their hearts.

Guo Geli and Fu Mannuofu took away the best equipment of the entire army, especially war horses and meat, while the other thirty thousand soldiers could only slowly march while robbing at the same time.

War horses did not have beans, eggs, nor nutrient-rich alfalfa grass to eat. How to feed these 60,000 war horses was a difficult task for them all along the way.

They could only gnaw on the grass on the ground, but this amount of grass was not enough. Fajeev even noticed that many soldiers were currently feeding their beloved horses with food.

To the north, a few fires had appeared on the distant horizon, and they knew that the robbers had succeeded again. At least four villages and towns had been looted this time.

Fajeev didn't even need to look personally to know that these soldiers would quickly plunder the villages. They wouldn't even waste a single grain of food, especially when the fodder from the horses were more precious than human food.

”No, we have to expand the scope of the looting! Four villages and towns are simply not enough. Pass down the order that we must loot ten villages and towns tonight! ”

The topic was extremely depressing, Fajeev and the others were not afraid of battles, even if they used up all their gunpowder they would not be afraid of fighting with their swords, but they could not solve the problem of supplies, it had nothing to do with your courage, if there was nothing there, you could not do it.

A guard cavalry soldier beside him said indignantly, ”Why don't we cross this river and rob the flourishing Southern Bank! Over there was the Qing Kingdom. Those Qing people were born with a love for farming and saving! Stealing their entire village is even fatter than stealing a tribe of Mongolian! ”

The commander of the Fourth Regiment, Asha, smiled bitterly and said, ”Child, it's not that simple! Our destination is the Far East, and our enemy is the volunteer army. For the time being, we cannot offend these Qing people! ”

”If we can't borrow their territory, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Haishenwai in another month and a half!”

The cavalryman scratched his head, ”Then why don't we cross the river now? Since we are going downstream to borrow our way, we can buy a lot of food and horse material with money!”

Fajeev looked at the young face of the cavalryman and sighed. ”Child, fighting is not like that! Thirty thousand men and sixty thousand horses. If you want to march, you cannot do so on any road … ”

”It's not a wide road on the other side, but a mountain range. The small troop won't have any problems moving forward, do you think you can let them walk on the mountain path with so many people? How long will it take for us to reach the Haishenwai? Summer? ”
