Wu Nian led his soldiers to the southwest. At about the same time, he chose a place near the water source and set up camp.

Soldiers are normally dispatched to perform guard duties, patrols and other security tasks. Fire-headed soldiers are also dispatched to make rice.

Looks normal.

Soon it got dark.

Inside the Chinese army's tent, the lights were brightly lit.

Wu Nian was wearing a narrow-sleeved black brocade robe, sitting in front of the campfire, eating a hodgepodge with three thousand households.

"Two hours. Tell the soldiers that we only have two hours to rest. After two hours, we will break camp and head to the pasture in the northeast."

Wu Nian and the four of them finished the hodgepodge in the iron pot.

Wu Nian took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, raised his head and said.

"yes."

Sanqianhu said nothing, clasped his fists in response, turned around and left.

Wu Nian stood up and rinsed his mouth. Without even washing his face, he took off his boots, got into the bed, and began to sleep soundly.

Two hours later, Wu Nian was awakened by his soldiers, put on his armor, got on his horse, and led his elite soldiers to tidy up the camp. He left an empty camp behind and quietly left the camp and headed northeast to the Mengyuan Ranch.

And go.

"Don't make any noise. If anyone has a stomachache, poop in his crotch. If anyone feels unwell, get in the big car."

The army was marching very fast, and the officers whispered from time to time.

Inside a carriage.

The beggars were lying in a mess, sleeping soundly. Lu Yanxun sat cross-legged, with a thoughtful look on his little face.

"Founding in the east and attacking in the west? Do you need quick soldiers?"

He is very smart and hopes to be a general like Wu Nian when he grows up. Now he is fighting with the army. He is like a sponge, quickly absorbing experience and starting to figure it out on his own.

........

Liu Shanyang, Liu Fuguang, Li Guanyun and other eight thousand captains traveled day and night to the Xiaoshan camp, hoping to defend the granary.

Time.

Time is running out.

If they and Wu Nian used the same speed to head to the Xiaoshan camp, they would have no time to organize a defense.

Being caught off guard, they had no confidence in holding the Xiaoshan camp.

When night fell and Wu Nian set up camp, they were still marching. The soldiers were very tired, but they could still persist.

The soldiers of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty were strong and capable of climbing over mountains and ridges as if they were walking on flat ground.

After walking for three hours, Liu Shanyang felt that it was almost done. He did not want to set up camp yet. He ordered the soldiers to light bonfires, wrap themselves in blankets, and have a rest by the fire.

Eight Mongolian Yuan captains gathered in front of a huge bonfire. They were eating dry food and talking at the same time.

"There are still two days' journey from Xiaoshan Camp. According to our current marching speed, we will arrive at Xiaoshan Camp tomorrow afternoon."

"Wu Nian won't be able to launch an attack until the evening of the day after tomorrow at the earliest. The day after tomorrow."

"We have almost two days to prepare for defense. With 7,000 soldiers, we will definitely be able to defend Xiaoshan Camp."

Liu Shanyang raised his head, his eyes were shining brightly, which was both full of confidence and boosting morale.

"That's right. We will definitely be able to hold Xiaoshan Camp." The other captains also nodded heavily.

They rested for two and a half hours, then let the Huotou army get up and bury the pots to make rice. As soon as the sky got dark, the eight thousand captains ordered the sleepy soldiers to get up and continue their rapid march to the Xiaoshan camp.

until noon.

The Mongolian soldiers were still marching in a hurry, but every soldier was panting and looked ugly.

Fatigue and lack of sleep have seriously affected their spirits.

The captains were riding horses, which was not a big problem and they were still in good spirits.

"Ta-ta-ta!!!!"

A fast horse chased from behind. Liu Shanyang looked back and saw that it was his own spy. He should be reporting Wu Nian's itinerary.

He didn't take it seriously. According to the distance, Wu Nian should be at least three hours behind them now.

But soon, Liu Shanyang's heart "thumped", and a bad premonition quickly emerged.

The spy's face was pale and full of fear.

"What happened?" Liu Shanyang asked.

"Sir, something bad happened. Wu Nian changed direction last night and headed northeast. He left an empty camp behind." The spy reported in fear.

"What did you say?" Liu Shanyang's eyes widened and he looked at the spy in disbelief.

"Fell into a trap!!!!"

Liu Shanyang immediately closed his eyes. The most important places in this area are the pastures and granaries.

Pasture is a secondary goal.

The granary is the important target.

The food in the granary is to supply Chunyuan who is facing Xiong Wuwo at the front. If the granary is burned down by Wu Nian, it will affect the national war showdown between Chu and Meng Yuan.

When Wu Nian sent troops to the southwest, he didn't think much about it, thinking that Wu Nian was going to attack the Xiaoshan camp.

But it turns out.

Wu Nian did not want food, but wanted war horses.

Doesn't he care about the national war showdown between Chu and Meng Yuan?

"Stop. Stop quickly. Send people to gather the captains." Not long after, Liu Shanyang opened his eyes, his face was ashen, and he shouted.

Not long after, the other seven Mongolian and Yuan commanders gathered together. After hearing the news, they immediately exploded.

"Wu Nian, is this fellow's real purpose the ranch?"

"Damn it. Although the pasture was lost, it didn't have much impact on the national war. But it strengthened Wu Nian's cavalry."

"What should we do? Should we rescue the ranch immediately? Or go back to Xiaoshan Camp and guard the granary?"

"The pasture and the granary are running in opposite directions. The distance between us and him is getting farther and farther, and we can't catch up."

"But if we lose the pasture, even if we keep the granary, we have committed a serious crime."

The eight Meng Yuan captains have completely collapsed. They are all talking about it, I want this, he wants that, but no matter what, it seems that there is a dead end ahead.

............

Three days later.

noon.

In the cold wind, Wu Nian led his soldiers to the ranch.

This is a large pasture standing on flat ground. It looks like a camp on the outside, with wooden walls. There is a sign hanging on the gate of the camp.

"Qiongyong Ranch."

According to Wu Nian's knowledge, this ranch is inconspicuous in the entire Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, but it is the largest ranch in this area. How many war horses are there?

Wu Nian is unknown.

However, it can provide a large number of high-quality war horses to the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty every year. Originally, this Qiongyong Ranch was guarded by two thousand captains and soldiers.

Now the two Mongolian and Yuan captains may have died in the battle.

[Yanhan] Under the banner, Wu Nian sat astride a bay-red horse and looked up at Qiongyong Ranch. The camp gate was closed, and there were a few pitiful soldiers on guard.

The Mongolian soldiers were visibly nervous.

Wu Nian was looking forward to it.

"How many war horses are there here? Ten thousand? If there are really ten thousand, then they will be rewarded."
