The Liaohe River is like an invisible boundary, the Eastern Army is in the west, the Donghu people are in the east, and the troops invested on both sides are not too much. As far as Donghu is concerned, there is no energy, and if Thorpe does not completely complete the restructuring of the entire Donghu, he will not raise the knife.

As a die-hard supporter of Thorpe, the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Usu Department are now basically concentrated around Helin to serve as Thorpe's strong backing. What Thorpe returned to the Wusu Department was the Yan army's nearly 10,000 prisoners of war and the first to go to the Hetao Plain to clear the land.

The elite cavalry of the tribe was now to be used as a sharp blade in Thorpe's hands, so the only force left behind to go to the Hetao Plain was the tens of thousands of captives divided into several groups, each of which was guarded by cavalry ranging from 500 to 800.

Usumit is not worried that the Yan army will rebel, these Yan army prisoners of war are more special, due to the agreement between the Yan State and Donghu, at the latest five years, these people will be repatriated, and will not really become the slaves of the Donghu family, there is hope, there will be no despair, these people are naturally very peaceful, the prisoners of war are still managed according to the original establishment of the Yan army, the sentry commander, the soldier Cao, and the captain are all available, but the Gao Jun generals are more confined to Helin.

The Donghu people who manage them only need to do one thing, don't force these Yan army prisoners to be in a hurry, and let them live to complete the reclamation work in the Hetao Plain for the Donghu people, and they can't make a little mess.

Therefore, although these people are prisoners of war, their daily work is not loose, but because they can eat enough and see hope, so far, they have been calm, and thanks to their efforts, the Wusu Department now has tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. The seeds of the earliest ones have been sown, and this autumn the first harvest will be made.

Seeing the green crops, Usumit saw hope for the future of Donghu.

The sentinels of the Eastern Army were found on the east bank, and they had advanced to the area controlled by the Wusu Division, and some time ago there was even a clash between the two sides, killing five and escaping one. This information was sent to Usumit as soon as possible.

Did the Eastern Army intend to cross the river and march eastward? This question haunted Ussumit, who supposedly did not have the ability to do so in light of the strength of the Eastern Army on the west bank. But the place where the sentinel of the Eastern Army was found was Tengger. This is one of the earliest places pioneered by the Wusu tribe, but it is also the farthest direction.

Opinions within the tribe are also different, and now the great cause of Thorpe's integration of the various departments of Donghu has reached the most critical time, and there is no room for the slightest difference, and the entire army of the Wusu Department is in full array, and it is really impossible to transfer excess troops to Tengger. Everyone's opinion is that the most likely thing for these Eastern Sentinels is to spy on intelligence, and as for the use of force, the Eastern Army should not have the courage to do so, and it is very simple to say. Even if they take it, they can't eat it, Tengger is more than two hundred miles away from the Liao River, and it is closer to them.

Usumit hesitated for several days. In the end, it was decided not to mobilize the men and horses of the headquarters, but to transfer 200 cavalry from each of the other Tun Desert troops who were closer to Tengger to Tengger, so as to do so. Tengri's army will exceed 1,000 cavalry, and even if the other party wants to make any moves, it will not have the strength.

Usumit thought it through. But he thought about it for a long time, and when he made a decision and sent the order, those garrisons began to gather men and set off for Tengger, and half a month had passed. And Usumit also thought about the motive of Xu Yuan of the Eastern Army, Xu Yuan had no intention of occupying Tengger at all, just as Usumit thought, if he occupied it, he had no ability to swallow it.

What Xu Yuan wanted was those thousands of prisoners of war.

These people were originally good soldiers, and after being snatched back by him, even if they couldn't become qualified soldiers, they were good at being a farmer and fighting for the Eastern Army.

While Usumit was still hesitating, Xu Yuan and more than 1,000 cavalry had already approached Tengger infinitely.

And Aaron, the head of the 500 cavalry of the Donghu Wusu Department stationed in Tengger, has smelled uneasiness in the air in the past few days, since the incident of the contact and killing of the sentinels of the two sides, he immediately reported it to the tribe, but he has not received a reply, and in recent days, after the sentinels who appeared in connection with the incident of patrolling and not returning, his nerves have collapsed infinitely.

The fact that the sentinels did not return can only mean one thing, they have met the enemy and have been eliminated by the opponent.

But whether it was a deliberate revenge from his opponent or a large-scale attack by the enemy, Aaron was not sure, but as a veteran of the battlefield, he was still ready. He did not send out any more sentry cavalry, but instead led hundreds of cavalry under his command to meet him, leaving only a few guards in the entire Tuntian camp.

He wasn't worried that these Yan troops would rebel, but he was a little worried, if the other party really attacked and the battle broke out here, would these Yan troops be agitated, the Eastern Army was also the army of the Yan people, rather than taking this risk, it was better to take the initiative to meet it.

Cavalry battles, Aaron didn't think that he would lose, even if the opponent has more people than himself, there is nothing to fear, no matter how slow the tribe is, a decision should be made, no matter what, there will be a part of the reinforcements gathered here.

It must be said that Aaron's decision is not wrong, only one point, he miscalculated the comparison between the combat strength of Donghu and the Eastern Army, last year the Donghu people defeated the menacing Yan army in a battle, and the victory also made the Donghu people breed great self-confidence, and they believed that the Donghu iron cavalry was invincible in the world.

But if you are too self-confident, it will become arrogant, and after the battle is over, the upper echelons deliberately cover up the fact that Tieling and Hukeler's three divisions were defeated and lost by the Eastern Army, of course, they don't want to cover up the joy of the big victory because of this.

When Xu Yuan unexpectedly learned that his target had taken the initiative to lead the army to meet him, he was half shocked and half happy, just like someone sent a pillow in time when he was sleeping, which was too intimate and considerate.

A series of battle orders were issued immediately, and the 1,000 cavalry that crossed the river with Xu Yuan instantly divided into two groups, one on the left and one on the right, and surrounded the team in front.

For the combat effectiveness of his troops, Xu Yuan is as confident as Alun, the 1,000 cavalry he commanded, more than 80 percent, are Hun cavalry, the ability of the Hun cavalry, itself is not under the Donghu cavalry, and now their equipment is far beyond the Donghu cavalry, and the number is twice that of the other party, if such a battle can not be won, then he Xu Yuan can really find a rope to hang.

Gongsun Yi is also very anxious, as a general of the former Gongsun Army, his status in the Eastern Army at this time is no longer comparable to the former patriarch of the Gongsun Department, Gongsun Aman, A Man is under the command of He Lanxiong of the Eastern Group Army, and has not been reused, but it seems that the Eastern Army has raised him up, unlike him, who really holds the real power in his hands, and Xu Yuan also said that when the first army is fully organized, he will ask the governor Gao Yuan to agree to set up an independent cavalry regiment in the first army, and the commander of the regiment is selected, It was between him and Lore.

The independent cavalry regiment, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the military department, is naturally not in the sequence of the two divisions, and in terms of rank, although it is the regiment commander, its status is no worse than the length of the first division, and because it is all cavalry, its field combat ability is even stronger than that of a division commander. And the size of a regiment, Xu Yuan also told him that there would be at least three thousand cavalry, thinking about how pleasant it would be if he could command three thousand cavalry, the previous Gongsun Department used all its strength, and it was only four or five hundred cavalry.

His heart was burning at this time. He joined the Eastern Army earlier, and he adapted to the system of the Eastern Army earlier, compared to Luo Lei, he naturally had the upper hand, but Gongsun Yi also knew his disadvantages, if he talked about personal martial arts, Luo Lei, a guy from the Buyi tribe, was indeed stronger than himself.

But to command the troops to fight, what is more needed is brains and connections, Gongsun Yi feels that he is much stronger than Luo Lei, and what he has to do now is to show his ability to be stronger than the other party in front of Xu Yuan.

When the three-headed snake banner unique to the Donghu Wusu Department appeared in front, Gongsun Yi immediately became excited.

The cavalry of the First Army of the Eastern Army saw the Wusu Division, and the Wusu Division Alun naturally found out about the other party, at first he was startled, he did not expect to encounter so many enemies, which was twice as much as his own, although he was a little shocked, but he had no intention of retreating, especially after seeing that the other party was actually divided into two units on the left and right, and there was no worry at all, in the end the Central Plains people who were not good at cavalry combat, and they did not know that the cavalry was fighting, and the best way was to concentrate all the forces to carry out the group front, and now the other party was divided into two unitsCavalry combat, unlike infantry combat, is not as dragged as infantry combat, that is, a few breaths of effort, you can charge back and forth several times, with the ability of your own subordinates, enough to disrupt the opponent's formation, turn around, and then deal with the enemy on the other side. After the opponents separated, the two sides had enough distance to complete the blow on their own.

After only a few glances, Aaron decided to attack the slightly advanced Eastern Army.

Gongsun Yi was even more excited when he saw that the opponent had chosen him, shouted loudly in his mouth, and the order was issued, and one by one the cavalry of Zhengdong began to reorganize the formation, but it was not a cone-shaped formation of the charge, but a half-moon formation.

Seeing the other party's formation, Aaron was stunned and couldn't help but be ecstatic. In such a formation, one charge by oneself is enough to cut through the opponent's military formation. (To be continued......)
