    ?As night fell, the troops of the militia marching in a hurry lit torches, and countless torches snaked their way to the east. The provincial roads were still full of people and noisy.

    Since all the units under the 20th Corps of the People's Army invaded Yunxi Mansion aggressively, they have not even seen the Qinghe Army.

    Xiaoqi General Qin Feng couldn't find any trace of the main force of the Qinghe Army, so naturally he didn't dare to rush forward easily, so he advanced steadily.

    When the troops of the People's Army heard that the vanguard officer Xu Yong's troops were fighting fiercely in the front, they were already very itchy, and they wished they could also throw themselves on the front line to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds.

    However, Xiaoqi General Qin Feng did not transfer them, but sent the eldest son Qin Lie.

    The Qinghe army carried out fortified walls and cleared the fields in Anling County. The various units of the civilian army did not fight and could not loot any property. They could only watch Xu Yong and Qin Lie's troops win the battle with greedy eyes.

    Now it is heard that the main force of the Qinghe army has appeared in the Moanhe River, and has fought with the troops of the eldest son Qin Lie.

    Qin Feng has already issued an order to march towards the Moaning River at full speed, and the various units of the militia that are gearing up are naturally unwilling to fall behind others.

    In particular, the sons of the Qin family wanted to show their strengths, so they kept urging the troops to speed up, hoping to be the first to arrive on the battlefield to make meritorious deeds.

    The quality of the soldiers of the various units of the militia is also uneven. They used to stop and go, but now they are marching day and night at a sudden speed, and many soldiers are not used to it at all.

    During the day, there are officers at all levels supervising, and although the soldiers of each unit were panting heavily from exhaustion, they were able to keep up with the team.

    However, as night fell, many soldiers who had marched all day were too tired to walk.

    However, the officers on horseback could not feel the fatigue of the soldiers, and were still urging the troops to march faster.

    Under the double attack of hunger and exhaustion, soldiers kept falling behind, and the marching team became sparse.

    "Let those who fall behind let them catch up by themselves tomorrow, and the rest will move on!"

    When faced with those falling behind, the second son, Qin Yun, simply ignored them and led his troops to move on.

    "Second brother's troops are running so fast, pass the order, after eating, continue to move forward and overtake them!"

    The fourth son of the Qin family saw his second brother's troops passing by in a hurry. They originally wanted to set up camp, but they couldn't sit still. They changed their order to set up camp, and moved on after preparing to eat.

    More than 100,000 people from the People's Army crowded the provincial roads. Some troops were camped out, and some troops were marching with torches.

    ?Because the quality of each unit is uneven, some are fast and some are slow, so the marching teams of the various units of the militia were dragged for more than 20 miles.

    If you look down from the sky, the more than 20-mile-long provincial highway is full of marching soldiers and horses, which is quite spectacular.

    All combat units of the People's Army rushed forward with light clothing and rushed to the battlefield of Moanhe River, preparing to go to the main force of the Qinghe Army for a decisive battle.

    All the civilian army's supply troops were left far behind, and the supply soldiers drove the carriages, pushing food, and walked slowly.

    Compared with the combat troops marching with torches at night, the supply troops have no combat missions, so there is no need to be so anxious.

    After night fell, the various logistics units that fell far behind looked for villages and towns close to the provincial roads and began to set up camp, preparing to march after dawn.

    "Pile all the food in the house for me, so as not to get wet in the rain."

    "Go over there and bring some water and put it in the water tank to prevent the food from catching fire at night."

    "The 300th team, you are in charge of guarding the grain at night. If one grain is missing, ask you!"

    "Damn it, hurry up and start cooking, your chest is sticking to your back when you're hungry."

    "By the way, you guys take your bows and arrows and go to the wild to see if you can get some game."

    The logistics and transportation units set up camps in various villages and towns close to the provincial highways, and then began to settle food, cook fires, and were very busy.

    Compared with those militia troops fighting on the front line, the task of the supply troops is much easier, at least there is no danger of life.

    If there were enemies in the surrounding area, the combat troops in front would have cleared them out long ago, so it was relatively safe for them to walk behind.

    ? When the supply troops of the civilian army are cooking and preparing to eatWhile having a good night's sleep for dinner, in the darkness in the distance, a cavalry unit shrouded in black appeared silently on the high hill in the distance.

    "Master Banner Head, over there is the camp of the civilian army's supply troops."

    A cavalry officer pointed at the dots of fire near the provincial highway in the distance, his eyes burning.

    This cavalry unit was the Ninth Banner Regiment under Commander Lu Fatty of the Qinghe Army. They hid nearby and fooled the scouts of the militia.

    When the various combat units of the militia passed through this area, they showed up, and their target was the baggage of the militia.

    Seeing the scattered tents and the dots of fire in the distance, Lu Fatty, the head of the banner, was full of excitement.

    Their Ninth Banner Regiment has a full 20,000 cavalry. Seeing the militia attacking the city these days, they can only hide in the dark and endure it. They have long wanted to fight out.

    Now Li Lang, the deputy head of the army, gave them the first task, destroying the logistics of the civilian army, so he couldn't wait to rush out.

    "Blow the horn, attack!"

    Fatty Lu quickly looked away from the dotted fire camp in the distance, and raised his black and heavy lance high.

    "Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

    The desolate and majestic sound of the horn pierced the silent night sky. Amidst the sound of clanging collisions, on the high hills not far from the provincial highway, countless bright swords and lances glowing with coldness were erected.

    "kill!"

    Fatty Lu, the head of the Ninth Banner, let out a low growl, kicked the horse's belly fiercely with both legs, and jumped down from the high hill first.

    "kill!"

    Amidst the screams of killing, the 20,000 cavalry of the Qinghe army, like an unstoppable stream of iron, slammed down the high hills and rushed towards the civilian army's heavy troops near the provincial highway.

    "Enemy attack!"

    "Enemy attack!"

    The ground was trembling violently, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes approached rapidly from far to near, and the civilian army's heavy troops who were eating around the fire were suddenly in a mess.

    Each unit of the militia has a separate supply unit, and now they are camped and scattered on both sides of the provincial road, and have not formed a concentrated camp.

    Facing the sudden onslaught of the cavalry troops of the Qinghe Army, the various supply units of the civilian army were like a mess of loose sand, without effective command, and fell into chaos from the very beginning.

    "Quick, quick, load the grain, retreat!"

    Some supply officers heard the shouts of killing and the sound of rumbling horseshoes in the distance, but they were still thinking about food.

    But before they could transport the food out of the rain shelter again, the vanguard of the cavalry of the Qinghe army had already arrived.

    Under the light of the bonfire, the cavalrymen of the Qinghe Army who were covered in black jumped out on horseback, like knights from hell, full of the breath of destruction.

    "ah!"

    A baggage soldier saw the cavalry jumping out of the darkness, and just turned around and ran a few steps when a bloody hole was pierced through his body by a sharp lance, and he fell to the ground screaming.

    The cavalry troops of the Qinghe Army swept past this heavy military camp like a whirlwind, setting off a bloody storm.

    In the raging flames, the civilian army's heavy soldiers were killed and wounded, the tents collapsed, and the food was burned.

    After the cavalry of the Qinghe Army destroyed this heavy military camp with lightning speed, they did not stop, and they rushed to the next heavy military camp covered in blood.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
