Chapter 2713 Raid 1
Manbao thought about it and picked ten students who were quick and strong to follow him, four boys and six girls.
The rest of the people were left to Doctor Lu.
The army marched quickly, Manbao rode a horse, and ten students squeezed into two carts loaded with food, fodder and medicinal materials.
Seeing how miserable they were, Manbao rode his horse along beside them, clattering along, scolding them as he went, "I asked you to learn horseback riding back in school, but did any of you take it seriously? Now you know how hard it is. If you were good at riding, I could ask for a few horses for you to ride."
Wen Tiandong and others were very embarrassed. He thought he could ride a horse, but the last time he followed the army, the horses around him ran a little faster, and he was a little frightened, so he spread his legs and rushed forward, scaring him so much that he almost fell off the horse. After that, the army no longer provided horses to the medical tent.
Wen Tiandong's riding skills were relatively good, but this was the case for him, let alone others. Therefore, Yi Zhang's right to ride a horse was directly deprived, and Manbao could not say a word of objection.
However, they were technical personnel. Although Zhou Man occasionally asked them to carry medicine boxes and follow the army, when they really encountered forced marches and moving tents, they still had cars to ride in, which was better than the soldiers who had to run at full speed but could not run around in disorder.
Manbao rode alongside them, feeling no discomfort except for a slightly chilly breeze. She said to them, "When we return to the capital, you should increase the number of riding lessons to at least three every twenty days, and the exam standards should also be raised."
Everyone, including Zhou Liru, couldn't help but sigh, feeling that there wasn't enough time.
Manbao glared at Zhou Liru. The riding skills she learned when she went to the Western Regions were only half-baked, and she couldn't control the horse when it went too fast.
Manbao kicked the horse in the belly, making it run ahead and no longer stare at them.
They set out in the afternoon and hurried all the way. They only stopped to rest and eat dry food in the evening, and then continued on.
This was the first time that Wen Tiandong and others participated in a forced march. Before, they were attacking cities and the speed was not very fast. Their medical tent was following behind, so the marching speed was not fast.
It was a forced march, and not only they, but even Zhou Man felt very tired, not to mention the running soldiers.
However, they were very patient and followed behind without falling behind.
Everyone hurried on through the night, with scouts leading the way. They continued on until late at night, when a scout returned with a report: "General, fighting has broken out at the west gate of Anshi City."
He Li's eyes lit up and he asked, "How far is it from here to Anshi City?"
"About ten miles."
"Very good, pass the order down, rest here." Then he called the deputy general and said to him, "Take some of the men and stay behind. Rest for two quarters of an hour, then rush towards Anshi City. Once you arrive, join the battle directly."
The deputy general was stunned for a moment and then said, "But General, we have been marching all night and I am afraid the soldiers are exhausted."
"But this opportunity is rare. The west gate of Anshi City might only be opened this once. I will lead the cavalry to provide support." Qibi Heli paused, then continued, "We must not delay. Once we capture Anshi City, I will give them ample time to rest."
Deputy General: ...assuming they were still alive at that time?
But he still agreed.
Military orders are as heavy as mountains. They must obey them.
Qibi Heli immediately turned around to look for Zhou Man, who was sitting on the ground and seemed a little drowsy. "Master Zhou."
Manbao woke up with a start and looked up at him, "General, what's wrong?"
"We have to go ahead now. Lord Zhou, who do you think will go with us?"
Manbao immediately stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
After thinking about it, she chose Wen Tiandong and Zhou Liru and said, "You two come with me."
Then he and Qibi Heli smiled and said, "Please give them two horses, General."
He Li agreed with a smile and immediately asked someone to give them two horses.
Manbao ordered: "Check the medicine box, tweezers, knife, needle and thread, needle bag, medicine bag..."
"Bring all the hemostatic pills, wound medicine, and hemostatic packs we made earlier."
At this time, I'm afraid there is no time to set up a medical tent for them, or to fetch water and boil medicine, so we can only use ready-made medicines.
The students started moving and soon turned out the things, four large boxes in total. Manbao frowned and could only go to find Qibi Heli to ask him to distribute the things and help them transport them to the destination.
She said to a few students, "After this war is over, we will sew a few large bundles to hold the medicinal herbs so that they are easier to carry."
Su Banxia was stunned: "Do you still need to sew the bundle?"
"Of course, you can put a lot of stuff in this way without it falling off. A bundle wrapped in just a piece of cloth is not really a bundle."
Everyone: ...Then what have they been carrying?
After they were distributed, Manbao also took some and stuffed them all into a cloth bag. This kind of cloth bag can be placed on the back of a horse, and the bags on both sides can hold a lot of things.
Qibi Heli found a dozen people and they divided the contents of the four large boxes.
So everyone finally replenished their food, ate two pieces of dry food, drank a sip of water, and then got on their horses and left.
Manbao also patted his face, and got on the horse after feeling a little more energetic.
Qibi Heli specifically asked her to follow him so that she could be better protected. Otherwise, what if she stumbled while running?
It's dark at night.
Ten miles was not close, but it was not far either. A fast horse would take less than fifteen minutes to travel there. Then they heard the sound of swords clashing and shouts of killing.
The west gate of Anshi City was ablaze at this time, with the two doors wide open, and the two sides were fighting in the bridge arch of the city gate.
The Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall discovered the enemy and shouted, "Their reinforcements have arrived! Close the city gates! Close the city gates!"
It was impossible to close the city gate. At this time, General Ashina, Xue Bei and Xue Gui were all inside the city gate. They did not rush in, but guarded the city gate tightly.
As long as we hold the city gate and wait for the army to arrive...
Qibi Heli rode at full speed without slowing down. He drew his long sword and thrust it forward, shouting, "My men, hold the city gate firmly. Take Anshi City and present it to His Majesty. Charge!"
The soldiers rushed past Zhou Man, Zhou Liru and Wen Tiandong and headed towards the city gate on horseback.
Seeing this, Manbao couldn't help but shout, "Don't kill the wrong person! We have red ribbons on our sleeves..."
They killed a lot of people. When General Ashina led his men to charge into the city, they took off their helmets. After all, when they were killing enthusiastically, they really didn't pay attention to the straps on their hands, but the helmets on their heads were easy to see.
In an instant, only Manbao and a dozen soldiers who were carrying medicine for them were left there. They were also responsible for protecting Zhou Man and the others.
Everyone looked up at the city wall. Once they took control of the wall, this city gate would belong to them.
Qibi Heli stabbed in like a sharp knife. When Xue Gui saw the reinforcements coming, he stopped passively defending and rushed directly into the city gate with a shake of his spear. He was always brave and could kill two people with one spear. He was riding on a horse and instantly made a path around him.
Qibi Heli led his men directly along the path and rushed in. After killing his way in, he turned his horse around and charged back. Seeing this, General Ashina took his men to guard the rear for him to prevent him from falling into the danger of being surrounded.
See you at 7pm
