After hearing his order, everyone immediately turned over and got on their horses, ready to set off, when a curious guy looked at the puppet, and found that he actually pulled their original horse and turned over at once, looking very agile, completely different from the walking corpse they guessed, it seems that the puppet worm is really a bit mysterious.

But then someone remembered a question: "Team, what are they going to do with so many horses left?"

They had just intercepted seventy or eighty horses from this Khitan patrol group, and compared to other trophies, this was the biggest gain, and the rest were either killed and disabled by stray arrows, or ran away by themselves. When it was time to set off, they remembered a very serious problem, that is, the Khitan patrol generally only had one horse per person, and some of them now even had three horses, which would definitely make people suspicious.

It can be seen that even Ye Tingcheng is a little reluctant to give up on these grassland horses, no matter how much these horses are much better than the common horses in the Tang Army, it would be a pity to let them go like this.

At this moment, Huan Chenyu let out a cold snort and said: "Otherwise, let these horses go, and the team is going to make meritorious contributions, or else, take your horses back, anyway, you already know the general distribution of garrisons along the road, and you won't go in vain, you can choose for yourself." ”

Everyone was silent, and for a long time, some people couldn't hold their breath first, sighed lightly, let go of the reins in their hands, and watched the good horse they had just gotten slowly leave. Someone made a start, then the others naturally obediently let go of the reins in their hands, full of emotion.

"Let's go, if you can find out where their grain and grass are and the situation of the garrison this time, what you can get is far better than a few horses in this area, and don't lose more than you gain. Bai Quan also persuaded.

Unlike Huan Chenyu, although Bai Quan's strength is also high, he is much more approachable than Huan Chenyu, who has always been cold, and his identity is always hot, so in the few days of training, Bai Quan was the closest to these Tang soldiers. For them, the easiest of these three to communicate and make friends is Bai Quan, although Ye Tingcheng is also close to people, but he is a team leader, and due to the restrictions of his identity, they don't dare to chat with Ye Tingcheng casually.

So, there was the beginning of the night march, because they were already in the hinterland behind the enemy, they all hid and rested during the day, and continued to march at night, plus they did not light torches, their own eyesight is very good, since they encountered that patrol, they have advanced a long distance near Yinshan and have not encountered other patrols.

However, they really came whatever they said, and on this night, when they were resting in place and discussing whether to go to the Songmo Governor's Mansion or to the Raole Governor's Mansion, these two Governor's Mansions were the capitals of Khitan and Xi respectively demarcated by the Tang Dynasty, although the big chieftains and chieftains of the two tribes did not live in these two places, but they were still the leading big cities for the two clans, and these two cities were located in the Shanghuzhen River Valley, and the distance between the two cities was not too far. At this moment, a sentry suddenly reported: "The report team is ahead, and we have found a Khitan army of 10,000 people, and it seems that the equipment is better than the one we have encountered before." ”

"Ten thousand?" Everyone was slightly stunned, thinking that the previous incident had been revealed, and the enemy had sent a large army to encircle and suppress them.

Everyone stood up suddenly, but they were different from the ordinary Tang army, and they would have been in chaos if they were others, after all, they were the most elite scout battalion in the Shuofang army, and their overall strength and military quality were extremely high.

"Did they find you?"

"No, but they pass near us, and there is a risk that they will be discovered," the sentry said correctly, and did not rule out the danger of being discovered, and if they were found by the other side, they would all die.

Ye Chengcheng was silent for a moment, looked at the Khitan puppet, and said: "Everyone get on the horse, let's go and take a look, he and Chen Yu will come to the meeting for a while, instead of being discovered by them, it is better to take the initiative to approach them, if I am not mistaken, the patrol post of 100 people we annihilated before should be the vanguard of this 10,000 cavalry, used to find out the situation of our Tang Army, if we don't report to them for a long time, they should also be suspicious." ”

In the past few days of their march, Huan Chenyu relied on his top mind, or learned some Khitan language from this puppet, although it is impossible to be as fluent as their own people, but there is no problem in communication, and the two of them are enough to deal with each other.

Everyone mounted their horses and rode away in the direction the sentry had said, and sure enough, after running a few miles, they heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the north, and even the earth trembled slightly, which can only be caused by ten thousand cavalry. And listening to the pattern of these horses' hooves, it is obvious that they are the kind of well-trained cavalry, and not like the other kind of herdsmen acting as an army.

The other party also discovered their small team, and hurriedly stopped the horses and sent someone up to shout, but they couldn't understand their language, and only this puppet and Huan Chenyu could understand it.

When the other party finished asking, Ye Chengcheng hurriedly asked Huan Chenyu what the other party was talking about through the psychic connection, in this situation and distance, this kind of contact is the fastest and most secretive.

"They asked us why we only had half of us left, where the other fifty had gone, and how we had gone west to explore the front, and whether there were any traces of the Tang army on the side of the three surrendered cities. ”

"Tell them that we have split into two teams, that the other team continues west, and that we are preparing to report back to them. There is no trace of any enemy troops in the three surrendered cities, and because of the concentration of the army, there are not many Tang army garrisons in the three surrendered cities now. ”

Huan Chenyu glanced at him unexpectedly, and still responded to the other side with the puppet according to his meaning, now anyone can see that this group of 10,000 cavalry is very likely to be gathering in Lingwu City with the army of the Tang Army, and there are not many garrisons in the three surrendered cities, so take the opportunity to pull out these three thorns in the eye. At present, after the Turkic Khan's internal strife, there is no time to look south, if the Khitan can break through the three surrendered cities in one fell swoop, and by the way, take the order to the capital of the palace, then their territory and strength will be greatly increased, and the Tang Shuo side across the Yellow River and the two stand, I have to say that the hand is a good calculation, it seems that the Khitan side also has a very high IQ strategists, but that's all, no plan in the world is perfect, especially after inserting the chaos of Ye Chengcheng.
