Seeing Xun You coming to kill, Wang Ling led people directly to him.
"Where's Zhang Liao?
Where did it go?"
Seeing that Wang Ling was coming, Xun You was also stunned and didn't understand where he had gone.
"Military advisor, General Zhang Liao has received new news. The Nianmul tribe has brought cavalry over. The general is afraid that the enemy will get the news, so he takes the lead and leads the attack directly, hoping to take advantage of their unpreparedness and catch the opponent off guard."
Wang Ling directly told Zhang Liao's movements.
"Nianmu tribe, Yan Xing."
Hearing that Zhang Liao led his troops to attack the cavalry of the Nianmu tribe, Xun You couldn't help but frowned. You must know that they were a tired army.
First he ran wildly to fight with himself, then he rushed non-stop to attack the Tren tribe, and now he went to attack the Nianmul tribe. He really thought he was an iron man.
"exist."
Yan Xing directly cupped his fist at him.
"Immediately lead 5,000 Bu Dugen surrender troops and 10,000 Luo suppressing troops to the east to support Zhang Liao, march day and night, and advance at full speed."
Xun You directly asked Yan Xing to march eastward with his troops to support Zhang Liao.
"promise."
Yan Xing did not hesitate, and directly ordered his troops and horses to follow Zhang Liao's footsteps eastward to support his attack.
Compared with the turmoil here in Qiantun, it was much easier at Gao Lan. Fifty thousand cavalry raided the Zhangjia tribe, and the opponent only had 15,000 cavalry. Faced with such pressure, the Zhangjia tribe’s clan leader had no temper.
Seeing the enemies rushing in like a tide, he directly ordered the entire clan to give up resistance and surrender to Gao Lan.
After defeating the opponent effortlessly, Yuan Ke also came to Gao Lan's side.
"General, what should we do next?"
Yuan Ke opened his mouth to speak to Gao Lan.
"You lead 20,000 cavalry here to clean up the battlefield and move their tribes south. I will immediately lead the troops to the Gantrun tribe to meet with the military advisor. I don't know what is going on with them there."
Gao Lan looked into the distance, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes. You must know that their enemies here are the weakest, but there are 30,000 troops on the Qiantun side, and they are not far from the Nianmul tribe. One bad move may kill them.
You will face a tough situation.
"No, general, don't worry, there won't be any trouble with me here."
Yuan Ke directly cupped his fist at Gao Lan.
"Okay, I'll leave this to you, let's go."
Gao Lan no longer hesitated and left the Zhangjia tribe with an army of 30,000 men and ran in the direction of the Qiantun tribe.
Zhang Liao and his troops ran all the way, like a pack of wolves running wildly on the grassland, all the way over the mountains and ridges, without wasting any time.
"General, the enemy has been found."
Soon the scouts at the front detected the news and came to report the situation to Zhang Liao.
"How about it?"
Hearing the news about the enemy, Zhang Liao's spirit rose again.
"The enemy is one hundred and thirty miles away. There should be 25,000 horsemen in number. The flag is that of the Nianmul tribe. They should be the enemy we are looking for."
The scout directly told the news he got.
"One hundred and thirty miles, twenty-five thousand people?"
Zhang Liao looked into the distance. Although one hundred and thirty miles was nothing for the cavalry to march in a hurry, it was a bit difficult for them to march continuously for several days. Moreover, the enemy still had 25,000 people.
, I only have about 16,000 riders, so there is still a bit of a gap in strength.
"General, I feel that our speed should be faster than the defeated troops who escaped from the Qantlun tribe. Why don't we let the brothers rest and attack tomorrow?"
Jia Kui looked at the tired soldiers and directly gave his suggestion.
They had traveled day and night to get here. He believed that the defeated troops would never be faster than him, so he should allow the soldiers to recharge their batteries and then fight against the enemy.
"No, the whole army is moving urgently. We cannot bet on the enemy. I only believe in myself and work hard without giving them a chance."
Zhang Liao thought for a while, but he still couldn't rest. This time he still had to seize the time. He had to run ahead of everyone. Only in this way could he ensure that he could catch the opponent off guard.
"But."
Hearing Zhang Liao's order, Jia Kui couldn't help but frown. This would be a forced march of 130 miles to attack the enemy. This was not only a test for people, but also a great test for the war horses.
"There is no but, I will take them down with lightning speed and set off."
Zhang Liao didn't give Jia Kui a chance to speak, he just pinched the horse's belly and took the lead and rushed out.
"Walk."
Seeing Zhang Liao charging, Jia Kui had nothing to say. Now it was up to him to see who had more perseverance.
The 16,000 Dangkou army cavalry did not hesitate and followed Zhang Liao towards the Nianmul cavalry, which was a hundred miles away.
"Horqin, don't worry. Qiantun will definitely send troops. When the time comes, I have 50,000 cavalry in hand. Even if others don't join, I am confident that I will defeat those Han people and help Bu Dugen take back the tribe."
Nianmul glanced at Horqin who was a little distracted, knowing that he must still be worried about his tribe's problems, so he spoke directly to him.
"Well, everything depends on the patriarch."
Hearing Nianmuer's words, Horqin also showed a sad smile. To be honest, he really couldn't be happy now. After all, the tribe didn't know what was going on yet.
If the Han people really go on a killing spree, even if they take back the tribe, their vitality will be severely damaged. In the future, their voice in the Xianbei tribe will definitely become even lower, and the glory of Tanshihuai may be completely dissipated.
.
"Do not worry."
Faced with Horqin's fake smile, Nianmul had nothing to say. After all, it was the Budugen tribe that was in a desperate situation, not his own tribe, and he couldn't solve it.
"Um."
A group of 25,000 cavalrymen walked slowly on the grassland. They had no idea that their traces had been exposed, and that a cavalry force of 16,000 men was heading towards them non-stop.
Time passed by, and after a forced march, Zhang Liao and the others were only fifty miles away from Nianmul. At this time, he also ordered the soldiers to rest temporarily.
One is to let the soldiers breathe, and the other is to restore their horsepower, otherwise what might happen if they charge later.
"Where are the scouts?"
Although the soldiers dismounted temporarily to rest, Zhang Liao did not rest and directly called the scouts.
"The scouts haven't returned yet."
Jia Kui handed Zhang Liao a bag of water and a piece of beef jerky. This was the food that Yuan Shu spent a lot of effort to obtain during this expedition to the grassland. Of course, there were pancakes made of potatoes, which were the staple food for the army.
"Well, judging by the distance, we are only fifty miles away from the enemy at most. The scouts must be careful not to let them discover us, otherwise it will be difficult to make a sneak attack."
Zhang Liao took the beef jerky and began to chew it carefully, while taking a sip of water.
"I understand, and the scouts also know that all the people in front, except for a few riders, have withdrawn, just to avoid being noticed by the enemy."
Jia Kui also grabbed a piece of beef jerky and started chewing it carefully. Although this stuff was good for hunger, it was just not easy to chew.
"Well, rest for half an hour at most, and then directly attack the enemy. I want to catch them off guard."
Zhang Liao nodded to Jia Kui and said, now that the enemy's position has been confirmed, there is no need to send so many scouts. It would be better to leave a few people to observe. If there are too many, it will be easy to leak clues.
"promise."
Half an hour passed by in a flash. Zhang Liao got on his horse and marched forward again. The bandits behind him also followed Zhang Liao's lead and charged forward.
As time went by, Zhang Liao got closer and closer to Nianmu's cavalry. Fifty miles, forty miles, thirty miles, twenty miles, and even within ten miles, Zhang Liao did not find Nianmu's scouts.
I know whether I should call myself lucky or whether the other person is too reassured.
"Run slowly."
Since the enemy has not discovered him yet, Zhang Liao did not order to run immediately. Instead, he chose to slow down and wait until he discovered the enemy's scouts before accelerating the attack. This would ensure that when he killed the enemy, his war horse could exert its maximum power.
.
Ten miles, nine miles, until we reached five miles, we saw the enemy scouts in the distance.
"General, enemy scout."
Jia Kui pointed to the enemy in the distance and spoke directly to Zhang Liao.
"I'm waiting for you, charge."
Now that we have reached this point, Zhang Liao has nothing more to say. It is enough to be able to break into the enemy's range of five miles.
"charge."
"charge."
"charge."
For a moment, the charge order circulated throughout the entire Dangkou army, and the 16,000 cavalry were activated instantly, rushing towards Nianmul like a rolling torrent.
"what sound?"
Before the scouts returned, the sound of the cavalry charge resounded throughout the sky, and the horses' hooves stomped on the ground, causing the earth to tremble.
"No, enemy attack, enemy attack."
Horqin was extremely sensitive to this sound, and immediately raised his mind and shouted for enemy attack.
"Ready to fight."
Hearing Horqin's shout, Zhanmul also roared, holding a spear in hand and preparing to fight.
Although Zhan Mu and Horqin reacted, most of the soldiers behind them were still in a state of confusion and were unable to effectively execute the instructions.
Originally, the entire team's operation should have been completed quickly, but until Zhang Liao led a flood of 16,000 Dang Kou soldiers to the front, only two-thirds of Zhanmu's side was ready for battle, leaving three thirds.
One of them is still in a state of confusion.
"kill."
Seeing the enemy coming, Horqin was not cowardly and rushed to the front line with a flick of his spear.
"kill."
Zhan Muer was also brave. Although he was not young, his bravery was still the same as before. The mace in his hand seemed to be nothing, and he rushed out with Horqin.
"kill."
Zhan Mu and Horqin took the lead, and Zhan Mu's cavalry, which was ready for battle, also launched a direct charge.
"Crossbow arrows, release."
During the march, Zhang Liao directly ordered his soldiers to fire their cavalry crossbows. Because of their rapid advance, they were directly within the attack range of the cavalry crossbows.
In one moment, tens of thousands of crossbows fired like a torrential rain towards the Xianbei people.
The Xianbei people were killed and injured instantly, and they were knocked down in pieces like straw. However, Horqin and Zhanmul were blocked in front and were not hit in the end.
"Kill, knife fight."
Zhang Liao licked his lips, his eyes were full of scarlet color. He didn't know whether it was because of the excitement of facing the war or because he was too tired. He looked extremely scary.
