Chapter 157 – Forced March
September 2nd.
1 AM.
Tong's 30,000 soldiers continued marching even though it was pass-midnight. Torches in the hands of soldiers made a long dragon line, and the road was illuminated by the torchlight.
Tong and Jia Xu did not walk like the soldiers, they had their own private horses.
As they were heading south, Jia Xu explained his thought.
"This forced march has two goals and one backup plan."
"First is the primary goal, we have to race against time! Liu Ping will also move his troops to this city as it's the best city to garrison large forces. The wall is also higher than the neighbor cities in this province, and he can also use this city as the center of his logistic supply chain."
