On this night, somewhere in the Mobei grassland, dozens of figures galloped across the grassland in the dark night. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThere are dozens of people in this line, all of whom are lightly armed, and they don't even need torches to march at night, and it seems that they are well-trained troops who have always been good at night fighting.

But there are only a few dozen people in their group, what can such a team do? The answer is to probe the enemy's situation, yes, this group of dozens of people is the sixth team of the Scout Battalion of the Shuofang Army led by Ye Qingcheng, including him and Huanchenyu Baiquan, a total of fifty people.

The main task of this team is to bypass the surrendered city in the west, go straight behind the enemy from the uninhabited area in Mobei, and probe the enemy's situation, including the distribution of the enemy's grain and grass, and the distribution of troops. As far as the scout battalion of the general border army is concerned, this kind of task is usually very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will encounter heavy enemy troops, but fortunately, many scouts are very cautious, and they usually lurk when they find the enemy who can't be beaten, the key is whether they will be discovered by the herdsmen, which is the key issue, once the herdsmen find and report, then there will be a large number of enemy troops to search for them. At that time, it will definitely die, usually in order not to be caught and tortured by the enemy, the scout usually bites his tongue and kills himself when he is captured, of course, there are also those who are timid and spare their lives, at that time it will have a great impact on the entire operation, so this kind of mission to go deep behind the enemy is usually rare, and even if there is, the envoys of each section will only send trustworthy people to go, obviously, Ye Chengcheng and their team belong to this kind of thing.

The reason why Beiyi detains the border all the year round and the border pass cannot go north is that their horses are all long-term free-range, and the grass they eat is relatively fertile, and the horse breed is better, which is not comparable to the horses in the Central Plains. In other words, the cavalry of Beiyi is much stronger than the cavalry of the Central Plains, but they only have this advantage, running fast, the cavalry is strong, and this is the only one.

Although there are four kinds of horses commonly used in the Tang army, namely the Three Hippos, the Kazakh Horse, the Yanqi Horse and the Weile Horse, especially the latter two are more common in the regular Tang Army, they are still inferior to the horses of Beiyi, and not all Tang troops are equipped with them.

The Tang army is different, the general Tang army is fully armed, here take the cavalry led by Ye Tingcheng as an example, they are usually equipped with horse lances, horizontal knives, bows and arrows and other main weapons and equipment, and because they are the elite composition of the Shuofang army, so everyone is equipped with a rare Dawan horse in the Tang army, this kind of horse is good, very obedient, and the speed is much faster than the other four horses, so they are usually equipped with mobile troops, Ye Tingcheng They just have one person and one horse. Because of this, the soldiers of the scout battalion cherish their horses very much, and they simply regard them as their own lives, and if they are unfortunately captured by the enemy, whether they commit suicide or not, they will kill their horses before being captured, so as not to let them fall into the hands of Beiyi, and breed new breeds of good horses.

Therefore, although the Beiyi people have always coveted this Dawan horse called "sweat and blood BMW" by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they are helpless, but the origin of the Dawan horse, Ningyuan, is too far away from them, and people have no reason to trade with you nomads, let alone offend Datang for a little benefit. Not to mention that the monarch of Ning Yuanguo also married Princess Heyi, who went to make peace, and became close to Datang, and it was impossible to give them Dawan horses, which had a low output.

After more than ten days of trekking, their group has been relatively close to the destination of this trip near the Songmo Governor's Mansion, although the Tang Dynasty placed the Songdesert Governor's Mansion to manage the Khitan, but in fact, the Khitan people live here, in fact, there are not many, their big leader lives near the Liaoshui Basin. Despite this, the Songmo Governor's Mansion is still an important town of the Khitan, and a lot of their grain and weapons are stored in this place, and they also raise a lot of horses and livestock, which can be said to be a logistics base for them.

Their trip is here to find out how many defenders are stationed in the Khitan here, how many materials are piled up in the warehouse, and the alliance army with the Xi people has gone to the Sanggan River valley to prepare for a big battle with the Tang army, which they know from the captured Khitan scouts, but they just don't know if the defenders here have been transferred partially.

Before leaving, he learned from Li Zheng that Li Longji's nominal purpose of attacking the Xi tribe this time was actually to fight the Khitan, so he understood in his heart, although he no longer had a good impression of Li Longji, but he still agreed with this determination. Whether it is from the military or political reasons, the Khitan seems to be a big trouble, and the less courageous Xi has always been led by the Khitan, defeating the Khitan can ensure the peace of this region for more than ten years or even decades.

At the front of this group of people was naturally the team Zheng Ye Chengcheng, as well as the two fire chiefs under him, Huan Chenyu and Bai Quan, the three fire chiefs who were originally there followed closely, and the rest were ordinary Tang troops.

In the first three days of training, the three of them have integrated into this group, got to know the rest of the team, deepened their relationship with each other, and also received their recognition.

It's just that now, the eyes of the three of them in front of the Tang Army behind him are not only full of admiration, but more of a kind of fear, not for anything else, but because they have seen Ye Qingcheng and the three of them, although they have not witnessed it with their own eyes, they can still feel something with their imagination.

A few days ago, when they were bypassing a certain herdsman's tent, they came across a cavalry patrol of a hundred men, and when the other party saw that there were fifty of them, they did not rush to fight, but quickly withdrew and called for reinforcements, which was quite wise. Moreover, in such a wide grassland, there was no place to hide, and they would undoubtedly be exposed to the pursuit of the enemy's large army, but their horses could not catch up with each other.

In that case, this team suddenly fell into a state of extreme panic, and in their opinion, no matter how fast Huan Chenyu and Bai Quan were, it was impossible to catch up with the galloping Khitan cavalry at that distance, in fact, Huan Chenyu and Bai Quan were really panicked at that time, because they really couldn't catch up. With such a mortal body, no matter how fast the speed is and how good the body is, it is indeed impossible to catch up at that distance.

At this time, Ye Chengcheng only did one thing, and he recited a poem at that time...... No, they recited a mantra and pulled out two pieces of what looked like rune paper from the inside of their clothes, and what happened next was even more jaw-dropping than when they saw Bai Quan make a move before.
