The war in the Han Dynasty was not as simple and direct as Fei Qian thought in his later generations. The most important reason was the problems of productivity and supplies.

Normally, even within the same country, there are differences between grain-producing areas and grain-deficient areas. However, the problem is that most wars occur on the frontiers, and in most cases, the frontiers are short of food.

If it is in the grain production area, whether it is local recruitment or local procurement, it is relatively easy. If the army is in the grain-deficient area, if it wants to obtain supplies, there are generally three methods: one is to transport it from the rear, the second is to fish and hunt on the spot, and the third is to rely on the accompanying livestock. Of course, there is an additional source method, which is to plunder...

However, Fei Qian naturally could not robbery in the Sanfu area, because this was Guanzhong of the Han Dynasty, not abroad.

For Fei Qian, the best strategy is to engage in a battle, which depends on one stroke. Because at this time node, the troops of Li Jue, Guo Si and others are actually relatively scattered, so as long as Fei Qian breaks through here, it will cause overall changes.

But it is not easy to fight.

After Fei Qian's oath-taking journey, the battle actually began. In this era, a battle was not about a date between the two armies and then a place to see the scenery together, but was about the continuous outpost battle. Countless light cavalry teams repeatedly cruising between Shangjun and Zuo Fengyi, tempting, even hedging and fighting. The purpose was to control the battlefield as much as possible, cover the opponent's reconnaissance curtain, so as to cover up the development of their main force.

Only under the cover of the outpost scout light cavalry, the main force can reach the appropriate position with confidence, set up camp at key points, stabilize the position, and adjust the rhythm. Even if the arrangement is stopped, the battle will not be fought in a short time. You still have to constantly look for the opponent's weak position. With the assistance of the scout, you can figure out the opponent's strength ratio and distribution, and do your best to maintain your initiative on the battlefield.

Anyway, it is just about how it is beneficial to oneself and the other party. Therefore, for Fei Qian, of course, it is to attack the vitality of the Xiliang army as much as possible and arrive in Chang'an as soon as possible. For Xiliang people such as Li Jue and Guo Si, sticking to the wall is the best strategy, which is simple and effective, and the key is to save much effort.

Fei Qian led a large cavalry army, relying on Diaoyin, and Zhao Yun and Xun Chen to start the first move, while the subsequent infantry army and some Hu cavalry were led by Ma Yan and Xu Shu, followed behind and advanced southward.

Before Fei Qian's cavalry, there were a large number of scouts, Qing cavalry, who also broke forward and ran back and forth, teleporting the opponent's arrangement and combat power to Fei Qian. Of course, before the army on both sides arrived, the battle between these scouts, Qing cavalry had already begun. Along the banks of the Luoshui River, the scouts launched a series of pursuits and counter-chasings, fighting each other, with the goal of the same, trying their best to control this battlefield, pull out the other's eyes, and seek a better and safer marching environment for the subsequent main force.

Because there are many Qiang cavalry among the Xiliang soldiers, the scouts sent by Fei Qian encountered more than a dozen times within two days, and each suffered damage. Of course, because Fei Qian has never been much ambiguous about the soldiers and equipment, he is still slightly superior in comparison. Even if he is injured, he is not easy to be fatal with the protection of armor.

Fei Qian's camp where he was advancing was temporarily set up along the Luoshui River, waiting for subsequent infantry to follow up. In this place, Jushui flowed into Luoshui from the west, forming a "Y"-shaped river area, which was relatively flat, and there were a lot of plump water plants around the water, suitable for cavalry camps.

In cavalry camps, the important thing is not to gather closely, but to require the open roads between camps, and there are no deep valleys and villages. The guards of the camps rely entirely on scouts and posts, and rely entirely on cavalry mobility to provide alert and escort. Even in case of a situation, a light cavalry really leaks in, rushing into the attack camp or other situations, and can also be buffered by the wide camp and then quickly assemble to attack the camp.

After Feiqian camp, it is the road from Diaoyin. Basically, Feiqian has a large number of cavalry in front, so the subsequent troops can be a little more at ease and increase their speed. Otherwise, according to the normal marching speed, you will walk thirty or forty miles a day, which will you go to the Year of the Horse Moon and the Monkey?

At this time, there was a lively scene of people shouting and neighing at the camp.

More than a dozen scouts had just returned from the front investigation and returned to the camp to report with dust.

The Junhou, who was responsible for the rotation of guards around the camp, crossed the retreating scouts with a scepter with a scepter. The Junhou seemed to recognize the leader of the scouts and shouted with a smile: "Niu Heitou, how about it, how many heads have you won?"

"Hi!" The scout team led the camp and answered, "This Xiliang thief is really a thief. He suddenly bumped into several of them, but unfortunately they were very slippery and couldn't catch them!"

Junhou laughed, waved his arm, and shouted, "You ox-hei-tou! You brag every day, but now you are competing by Lao Chang! Just now, Lao Chang caught two people alive! Hahaha..."

Niu Heitou's face suddenly became darker when he heard this. He knocked on the war horse silently, and left without answering.

For scouts, the head is still secondary. The most important thing is to catch the other party's survivor. If you can ask about the arrangement of troops and other situations, it will be a great achievement. Now that you have not gained anything, you have let others take it first. How can these competitive scouts feel happy?

Now after several major battles, the men in Bingzhou in Feiqian's army no longer had any timidity. The weapons and protective gear were all first-class, and there was no shortage of military supplies and food. In this way, they could not show their strength and even looked down on themselves. Although it was not easy to fight, they still won the victory in the end, which allowed the morale of these soldiers at the bottom to be unstoppable and maintained a high momentum.

It’s just a pity that the subsequent two-legged infantry were limited by the transportation of the baggage truck, and the horsepower could not be exhausted, so they needed to wait and recover. Otherwise, these soldiers really wanted to drive straight in and attack the city of Chang'an immediately!

In the central army, Fei Qian couldn't help but frown with the news he had just obtained from the survivors.

If the arrested survivor tells the truth, then the problem is difficult to deal with now.
