In addition to carrying out the plan of clearing the wilderness of the strong wall, the disciples of the [Royal Beast Gate] will also be responsible for the task of scouting by the way, and try to find out the origin of this enemy army in the Western Regions as much as possible.

A large number of reconnaissance eagles flew in flocks on the Western Turkic steppe, and countless pairs of eyes connected by [Eagle Eye Technique] and [Shared Sight] were like spy satellites monitoring the movements of enemy forces in the Western Regions.

Whether it is the Si Zhi Tang of [Shennong Gate], the Si Animal Hall, or the disciples of [Royal Beast Gate], they are actually branches of the [Druid] profession of the believers of the God of Nature, and the Druids are not only fond of planting flowers and grass and caring for small animals, but they are also known for their strong combat effectiveness.

Although these disciples of the [Royal Beast Gate] are still at a relatively low-end stage, they are definitely more than enough to act as scouts.

When it comes to surviving in the wild and the ability to hide in nature, no one can compare to the druid, who is known as the child of nature, even if it is just a druid apprentice.

Therefore, when some of the brave [Royal Beast Gate] disciples observed and tracked the enemy army in the Western Regions at close range, and even took advantage of the night to blend in with the opponent's troops, collected a large amount of information and sent it back to the rear, Bai Yuqi, Li Shimin, and Cheng Yanjin, who had read the information, were all confused.

Because according to the information sent back by the disciples of the [Royal Beast Gate], although the number of these miscellaneous beards is huge, the structure is extremely chaotic, and there is almost no organization to be seen, and the actions are very arbitrary, not like someone commanding them.

The main thing is that these bastards are all in tatters, not to mention armor that can protect themselves in battle, and they don't even have decent weapons.

Li Shimin and Cheng Yanjin, who were very experienced in leading the army, looked at each other, and the enemy army in the Western Regions did not look like an army with combat effectiveness...... It doesn't even look like an army, but like a fleeing outcast?

But the other party's purpose was very clear, and he came straight to the direction of Datang, although the speed of the march was a little slower, the attitude was a little more casual, the morale was a little low, and the equipment was ...... Well, let's not talk about equipment, it's good not to come bare-chested.

But the question is, why did you come to Datang in this state?

Or is it that the generals who led the army on the other side look down on Datang so much?

Think that relying on such an army as sparse as refugees, you can crush the Tang Dynasty?

Seeing that the other party wants a formation or not, a strategy or not, and even a scout is too lazy to send one.

Just like that, at the speed of marching dozens of miles a day, slowly crawling towards Yumen Pass, Li Shimin and they were all anxious for each other.

However, this can't blame the opponent's marching speed too slowly, after all, without any supplies and baggage, how fast can the opponent, who doesn't even have a mount, rely on just two legs to move slowly to the east?

What's more, most of the other party's time every day is also used to collect edible things along the way.

If there are grass seeds, you will dig some grass seeds, if you have wild vegetables, you will dig some wild vegetables, if you have a river, you will go into the water to touch some fish, and if you have a rabbit hole, you will dig some rabbits.

Basically, the march of this army goes like this:

Every day when I wake up, I walk forward, walk from the back of the line to the front of the line, find a place where there are not many people, stop and start collecting food.

When you have collected enough, find a way to stuff it into your stomach, then lie down on the spot and sleep to save energy, and repeat the process of the previous day the next day, and slowly "roll" forward.

It is not said that there is no grass in the place where they pass is like a locust plague, but it is almost the same, as long as they can eat it, and what they eat will not die, they have eaten it all.

You must know that this is an army of two or three hundred thousand, and if it is gathered too densely, no matter how fertile the grassland is, it will not be able to support them, so the marching army is extremely long and scattered.

The [Royal Beast Gate] disciple who acted as a scout had the heart to lean over and ask the other party, what are you doing here?

It is also strange to say that as long as they are discovered by the other party, this group of refugees will rush towards them like wolves, with green eyes and howls.

It doesn't seem like it's going to attack them, but it's like seeing something delicious, and all the greedy hara is dripping, right?

This frightened the [Imperial Beast Gate] disciples, and they turned their heads and ran, and they dared to approach each other.

If he died heroically on the battlefield, he would not have lost the face of the sect.

But if you are caught and eaten by the other party, how can you count your military exploits?

In this way, thousands of miles of road on the long and narrow West Turkic steppe, the other party was stunned and climbed slowly for more than a month, but it gave Datang plenty of time to prepare.

The Wuji Knights, led by Qin Qiong, and the Dragoon Guards, led by Li Jing, were the first to rush to Yumen Pass.

After all, they have mastered the skill of [summoning mounts], and they can rely on the strong marching ability of the Ao Neng war horse, and run non-stop at a speed of 60km/h, and they will arrive in two or three days after thousands of miles.

It was followed by tens of thousands of Tang soldiers led by Li Tao.

With the marching special trains and long-distance troop carriers provided by the "Datang Transportation Investment Group", the first batch of Datang soldiers to arrive was not even slower than the Wuji Knights and Dragoons.

After all, although the Aoneng war horse is durable, it is enough to summon another horse when it runs out of energy, but people can't stand it.

No matter how strong their physique is, they have to eat, drink, and sleep, and stop halfway to rest, right? Otherwise, people can stand it, and eggs can't stand it.

The marching train is different from the long-distance troop carrier, just burn the coal and run hard, and only need to stop to replenish coal and water in the middle, put down the soldiers in the car to make it convenient, and can run 24 hours a day.

Therefore, with the support of the transportation conditions that Datang began to take shape, a large number of troops were continuously delivered to the front line of Yumen Pass.

After the arrival of millions of mercenaries, they can even rest for a while to renovate, train and marshall, and wait for the arrival of the enemy army.

The Wuji knights and dragoons who arrived first were even depressed at Yumen Pass, and they asked Bai Yuqi and Li Shimin to take the initiative to attack, after all, according to the speed of the other party, they would not be able to reach Yumen Pass for half a month.

Bai Yuqi didn't care about commanding the battle, so after discussing with his generals for a while, Li Shimin felt that he could attack tentatively.

As a precaution, I'm afraid of encountering strange monsters like the undead of Goguryeo again.

The Dragoon Guard, the strongest combat force in the Tang Dynasty, was not willing to send it out, but drew a cavalry force of 10,000 people from among the guards and took the initiative to meet the enemy army out of the pass.

In order to be able to get first-hand information, Bai Yuqi also took out the new equipment that he had been idle during the time he was in Yumen Pass, and prepared for the live broadcast!
