The quiet night gradually passed. According to the way of timekeeping on earth, it was already past four in the morning. On the eve of dawn, this should have been the most silent and profound moment of the day. However, Yan Ling was in a place where
The simple camp gradually became noisy.
Yan Ling also woke up from his sleep early, put on his armor neatly, and after instructing the fourth general to assemble his men and horses to stand by, he walked towards the camp of the cavalry commander Zhao Fei, preparing to accept Zhao Fei's latest order.
"Commander Yan, you are here just in time. We are about to set off. You go back and take your cavalry and follow us then." As soon as Yan Ling arrived at Zhao Fei's camp, he was spotted by the sharp-eyed Zhao Fei. Zhao Fei stopped and talked to the deputy general next to him.
discussion, he waved his hand to Yan Ling and gave instructions.
Seeing Zhao Fei and the deputy general arranging their troops in full swing, Yan Ling gave up the idea of going forward to talk. Instead, he followed Zhao Fei's instructions and went back to lead his cavalry company.
After Yan Ling finished organizing his army, Zhao Fei issued the marching order not long after.
Yan Ling led a team of less than a hundred people and quietly followed the cavalry led by Zhao Fei. A total of nearly 500 cavalrymen marched forward under the cover of night.
"Commander, there is a team approaching." During the march, the fourth man under Yan Ling's command suddenly stepped forward and said.
Hearing this, Yan Ling shook his head and said, "Don't worry about them. They are just the other brothers in the camp who came to join us."
This is the news that Zhao Fei revealed to Yan Ling yesterday when Zhao Fei summoned Yan Ling to discuss today's attack plan. Although the entire cavalry battalion did not camp together, during the march, the cavalry led by other commanders would slowly move forward according to the plan.
Join the marching army.
"Oh." Lao Si responded, then stepped back.
Yan Ling turned around and looked at the visitor. With his far superior vision, he could only see the blurry figures of several hundred cavalrymen coming to join together. He could also vaguely see that the leading few were the other commanders in the camp.
After these people approached Yan Ling's team, they did not make any noise, but just like Yan Ling, they followed silently behind the army under the leadership of several commanders.
Looking back, Yan Ling no longer paid attention to these subsequent teams, but instead led his own team, controlling the speed to avoid causing commotion.
If someone looks down in the air, they will find a giant steel beast growing slowly on the flat plain. As the major commanders in the battalion lead their troops to integrate into the team, the cavalry battalion where Yan Ling is located has become
A terrifying torrent of steel was created, just waiting to charge forward and destroy all enemies!
The cavalry battalion advanced slowly. Apart from the sound of horse hooves that became increasingly noisy as the number of people increased, no one was making any loud noises. Everyone was secretly concentrating on waiting for the next battle.
Suddenly, the cavalry led by Zhao Fei in front of Yan Ling stopped. Seeing this, Yan Ling's eyes tightened and he thought to himself: "Here we come!"
Through the gradually brightening dawn, Yan Ling looked far into the distance and vaguely saw Zhao Fei at the front of the team through the continuous cavalry, talking to an officer who was also riding a tall war horse.
The dim light and the noisy environment made it impossible for Yan Ling to know the content of the exchange between Commander Zhao Fei and the officer, but Yan Ling could also roughly guess what the content of their exchange was. It was nothing more than Li Shimin sent to convey orders!
Yan Ling held on to the reins tightly. Although there were two encounters yesterday, they were just small-scale battles. Now a truly large-scale war is coming. Even with Yan Ling's state of mind, he can't help it.
I became nervous because in such a large-scale war, it was completely unpredictable what would happen.
It didn't take long for Yan Ling to find that there was a herald in front of him who had followed the troops and passed Zhao Fei's order. He adjusted his marching formation and prepared for the charge. He continued to move forward. Just waiting for an order, the whole army would attack!
Yan Ling followed the usual training formation, led the team to where he belonged, and continued to follow the team in front.
After walking forward for a while, when passing by a hilltop dozens of meters high, Yan Ling looked through the dense cavalry formation and discovered that there were many camps densely spread out near the hilltop. Yan Ling suddenly understood that this should be Li Shimin.
The camp was stationed.
"So, those Turks are not far ahead." Yan Ling said secretly in his heart.
The sky was getting brighter, and Yan Ling could already clearly see the formation of all the cavalry. Thousands of cavalry were marching forward together. Although they were not running wildly, they were still shocking enough.
"Prepare!"
Suddenly, a roar came from the center of the formation led by Zhao Fei. At the same time, the herald in front began to wave flags and issued the order to charge!
"Brothers, get ready!"
Yan Ling and the major commanders issued orders at the same time to follow the clarion call of charge at any time.
As the flag of attack fell, Yan Ling drew his spear and pointed it straight ahead, and while galloping on his horse, he shouted: "Kill!"
"kill!"
As if in response to Yan Ling, the roar of the charge came from all over the army. As soon as the shouts of killing fell, the whole army rushed to attack! Looking from a distance, I saw a black torrent rushing forward with overwhelming momentum!
As they got closer, Yan Ling could already see the unique Turkic camp ahead. This was the target of this charge, the obstacle blocking the black torrent.
However, Yan Ling has the confidence to break through this obstacle, and he will be invincible wherever he points his troops! This is the common thought and belief in the hearts of all cavalry!
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Just when the cavalry battalion was approaching the Turkic camp, a shower of arrows flew over the cavalry camp, and they took the lead in launching an attack clarion call towards the Turkic camp!
It turned out that Li Shimin had already made all preparations in order to steadily eat this wave of Turkic troops that penetrated into the Central Plains. In addition to letting the cavalry battalion raid the Turkic camp, he also arranged a group of archers to ambush around the Turkic camp overnight, waiting for the cavalry to attack.
, you can launch an offensive and increase the chance of winning for the cavalry battalion's charge!
The Turks are not pigs to be slaughtered. It was okay before Li Shimin ordered the attack. After all, they relied on the cover of the night, because their strength has greatly increased nowadays, and they do not pay attention to the Central Plains forces who are in civil strife. Under the carelessness of the Turks,
It is not easy to detect Li Shimin's ambush.
But now that the entire cavalry battalion has ordered a charge, there is no way to eliminate the big noise caused by the entire army's assault. If the Turks do not react, the Turks will not have a chance to become bigger!
Upon discovering the enemy attack, the Turks immediately began to rely on the camp to avoid the attack of arrows under the leadership of their leader Ashinayegu. Then they got on their horses and blew the horn for counterattack.
Unfortunately, although the Turkic cavalry was far more powerful than the Central Plains cavalry, after all, Li Shimin's side had the advantage of a surprise attack, and the Turks and cavalry were harassed by archers arranged by Li Shimin, so they had already lost the opportunity.
By the time the cavalry led by Yan Ling and other major commanders arrived in front of the Turkic camp, the charge had already taken shape, and the Turks had just integrated their cavalry and were about to face an unstoppable cavalry charge!
The odds of winning for both sides are clear! (To be continued)
