New Yu Era 1331, August 12
For Hou Yuxiao, ninety li was a short distance, reachable within the span of less than an incense stick's burning time, but for a million-strong army, it was quite far.
The 1.7 million Nanjiang Allied Forces were stationed in Qingmiao City. Even as confident as Hou Yuxiao was, he dared not have the three great armies arrive in batches, hence he had to accommodate the slowest among them.
The Red Flame Army was equipped with superior war horses, which could travel three hundred li in one hour. On the other hand, the Zhaoyang Army and the Hong Miao Army were equipped with good quality war horses, reaching at most one hundred and sixty li in an hour. And the thirty thousand of the Hong Miao Army who lacked war horses could only cover less than twenty li.
And that's with the forces not exceeding five hundred thousand.
With an army over a million strong, the metrics change entirely.
