.If the Kuanglan Army walks on the Chang Road this time, if they follow the Chang Road, they must follow the central Sichuan Panshan Road built by the Empire for a thousand years, first heading northwest and then northeast. Although this road is relatively flat, it takes at least ten days to reach Shaanxi Road because it circulates the mountains and avoids water.

But before Lei Dongfeng left Chengdu Prefecture, he had already obtained the exact news from Liu Renze and Mu Yu. Zhongdu Longyang had fallen, and the Western coalition had collected ships today and was stepping up the siege of Tongguan.

Once Tongguan is lost, Chang'an Prefecture will definitely not be able to withstand the invasion of 300,000 enemy troops, and Sichuan will inevitably be subject to war.

Therefore, Lei Dongfeng thought for a long time and couldn't understand it. He followed the normal path and arrived ten days later. No one could guarantee what the situation would develop.

At this time, Li Ruoxi stood up. Although she did not support Lei Dongfeng and sent troops to Tongguan, according to her original intention, now should be a good time to cultivate and nourish and develop.

Instead of relying on these villagers who are quite outstanding in physical fitness and have undergone some military training, they are trained in a group, mixed with 10,000 regular Han soldiers to fight against 300,000 enemies.

But in the face of the great righteousness of the country, Li Ruoxi only admired Lei Dongfeng, so he made plans for him: "There are many hunters in the mountain people, and the private salt in the Sichuan is more profitable, and the horse gangs do not follow the regular roads to prevent imperial inspections. Adults can offer rewards from new recruits in the army, and there must be another way to find them."

As expected, just one hour after the reward was given, Wang Jiantang brought a few little brothers to see Lei Dongfeng. It turned out that Wang Jiantang had been with his own village horse gang when he was a teenager, but later he was suppressed by Ugo's horse gang and gave up this business.

Back then, in order to avoid the suppression of Ugo, their party discovered a shortcut in the mountains, from Dasan Pass to Chang'an Prefecture. If they travel day and night, they would only take six days to enter Chang'an Prefecture.

But the road is so difficult, most of which are close to cliffs and extremely dangerous.

In conspiracy, Lei Dongfeng ordered the entire army to bring less supplies, each person only brought dry food for seven days, necessary sabers, bows and crossbows, and even shields. In Jiang Zhuying's words, "This battle is an offense, not a defense."

The cavalry had two horses each, and of course it was impossible to guarantee that most of the horses produced by Lei Dongfeng, which were as beautiful as the two thousand and five hundred cavalry, were Sichuan horses.

In this way, seven thousand cavalry and twenty-three thousand infantry were light and simple. On the morning of April 1, the imperial era, the target was directed to Tongguan.

~~~~~~~~

At this moment, Lei Dongfeng and his subordinates had already marched on the path. The path was directly from Dasan Pass and penetrated directly into the remnants of Daba Mountain in the northeast. He walked forward with deep grass and dense forests. The road formed by the cliff was only enough to ride two horses together. Beside the army, there was a cliff dozens of feet deep.

Horses and soldiers walked on the road, and gravel rolled down from time to time.

For safety reasons, Lei Dongfeng ordered all cavalry to move in one row, and infantry could only move in two rows.

Fortunately, most of the soldiers recruited from Sichuan run among mountain roads all year round, and these uneven roads are not difficult for them.

On the contrary, it was the cavalry, because the mountain road was dangerous and the horses were hard to control. On the first day of the marching, more than a dozen horses fell from the cliff, and dozens of people were injured and killed.

As a result, the troops were more careful when traveling, and their speed slowed down.

"At such speed, horses are not as fast as people, and cavalry is not as good as infantry. How could it be possible to arrive at Tongguan within six days?" Lei Dongfeng looked at his most elite cavalry moving forward carefully on the far mountain road.

"Mr. Lei, it's better to let Sichuan soldiers who are good at running on mountain roads and some of the elite riding cavalry who are superb, go first." Li Ruoxi said.

"But they will be very dangerous..." Lei Dongfeng knew that there were 300,000 enemy troops sharpening their knives in Tongguan. If the troops who went first were going, there would inevitably be great danger.

"The military strategy lies in the right and the strange. If our army is more powerful than the Westerners, it is less than one ten; if the elites compare, how can the newly recruited soldiers fight against the soldiers of a hundred battles? But our army is not completely unsuccessful. On the one hand, the Westerners are on an expedition and supply is not easy. At present, they rely entirely on land grabbing to feed. If their retreat is cut off, their hearts will be in chaos. On the other hand, the Westerners have many countries and have recovered the descendants of Xianbei. It seems to be powerful, but in fact, the Xianbei wolf will be ambitious and bite it sooner or later. Therefore, as long as more than 10,000 elite troops can arrive at Tongguan in advance and suddenly come out of the rear, they will have the power of a battle. If the adults are worried about any mistakes, Ruoxi is willing to follow the vanguard and judge the situation in the face of the battle to ensure that the front army will not lose." Li Ruoxi said lightly.

"Who can be the forward?" Lei Dongfeng asked with a look on his face.

"The Zhuying Division, Jing Zhan assisted him, Li Banghao, and Meng Zhan's white-stalked elite can all follow him." Li Ruoxi said.

"Why can't Jingtao go first?" Lei Dongfeng asked again.

"My brother is more brave, but his experience in commanding troops is insufficient. This battle is a different approach, not as careful as the Jiang Division, who has been commanding troops for many years. Moreover, you don't have to go there yourself. The newly recruited soldiers are most afraid of having no leader. If you leave first, there may be people here to convince the public." Li Ruoxi was not afraid of any gambler.

"You girl is a bug in my belly. Before I could say it, you guessed that I wanted to go in person..." Lei Dong smiled and touched his head.

"Tsk, you are the bug in someone's belly so rude..." Li Ruoxi spat lightly, a hint of rosy appeared on Wushuang's pretty face. After a moment, he felt that these words were even more ambiguous, and his face became more rosy.

~~~~~~~~

The wind was strong in the mountains, and it was howling in the forest outside the tent. This was the first night when Lei Dongfeng and others led the entire army to the expedition.

"Zhuying, these 2,500 brothers, including the 500 flying cavalry, and the selected 500 Sichuan cavalry are the current elite cavalry of my Kuanglan Army. I asked Li Banghao to lead two thousand Baigang Army and five thousand Sichuan soldiers from the independent brigade of Dasanguan. I will give these 10,000 people to you, do you have confidence?" In the camp, Lei Dongfeng looked at Jiang Zhuying's beautiful face and felt reluctant to leave.

The iron-blooded warriors also have a long love relationship with their children, not to mention that the two of them have no gaps between them from Longcheng to each other and have long regarded each other as their lifelong support. How could Lei Dongfeng not worry?

"Or, I am the general, you are here to command the entire army?" Lei Dongfeng hesitated.

When Lei Dongfeng said these words, Jiang Zhuying always had a faint smile on his little face. Suddenly, she stretched out her slender fingers and gently stroked Lei Dongfeng's slightly rough face.

"Brother, are you not worried about you? And you are worried day and night? So, I agree with your concern, and don't worry like this. What's more, I am also a general of war. Even if I can't lead these brothers to rescue the siege of Tongguan, I always have to keep a innocent body and see you again when I come back." Jiang Zhuying has always been so cool and heroic, and rarely is as tender as water. At this moment, the delicate face under the dim light is particularly charming and thunderous.
