The nights in the Gobi in February are cold, almost much worse than the coldest time in Fengzhou in winter.

The terrifying cold below minus 30 degrees swept across the Gobi.

Rao is cavalry troops led by Li Yan had already prepared, and it was still cold enough to set up camp tents during the period.

"Boss, aren't you cold......

In the camp where Li Yan was located, Ge Dahai and the others wrapped themselves tightly with their own quilts.

As a result, after glancing at Li Yan, he found that Li Yan was still wearing armor, and he had no intention of changing into cotton clothes to resist the cold.

"It's not cold."

Li Yan replied calmly, his own physique is against the sky, and the temperature of minus 30 degrees is a little cool in his perception, which is not much different from ordinary people's feelings about autumn.

"Don't fall asleep tonight, don't suffer from the cold, we can arrive in Mobei tomorrow afternoon, rest well after conquering a tribe, and then go straight to the Turkic king's tent."

Li Yan walked around from time to time, and in the face of this extremely cold situation, Li Yan would rather let everyone give up this night's rest, but also ensure the health of the soldiers when the war started.

If you want to take advantage of its unpreparedness to attack Mobei, the cold of the Gobi at night must be experienced.

After all, this is a team of 1,200 people, and it is impossible to find a cave in the Gobi Stone Mountain that is enough to accommodate warmth, so they can only resist.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Li Yan specially spent a huge amount of experience from "Minecraft" to extract three bottles of life recovery potion.

These three potions cost Li Yan a full 6,000 experience, and the only effect of these potions after extracting them into reality is to restore physical strength and health.

Of course, if a whole bottle of potion is poured into a person, then even if the person is physically exhausted and covered in injuries, it can only restore the person to normal in ten minutes.

Therefore, Li Yan poured the potion into the pot of boiling water, and ran around in various camps in the middle of the night, and poured a bowl of medicated hot water on him whenever he saw any signs of trembling.

It was precisely because of Li Yan's busy work this night that none of the soldiers were stunned by the cold.

Even the dozen or so soldiers who had been slightly injured before began to recover under the effect of the medicated hot water.

By the end of the night, their freshly wounded wounds had shown signs of scabbing.

Finally, when many people were dazed wrapped in quilts, the sun rose, and the temperature of the Gobi gradually rose, entering a range acceptable to ordinary people.

"Keep marching! Ge Dahai, step forward and open the way, the three of you must find a suitable target tribe before we arrive! ”

Li Yan's troops began to march again, and at the speed of cavalry, they only needed to hold out in the Gobi for one night, and it would take another five to six hours at most before they could get out of the Gobi and reach the Mobei grassland.

While marching, Ge Dahai and the three of them also received the task arranged by Li Yan and accelerated their approach in advance.

The three of them were going to Mobei first to investigate the situation in Mobei.

After all, the end of the Fengzhou-Turkic trade route opened before the beginning of winter was just Monan, and Li Yan basically knew nothing about the distribution of tribes in Mobei, so he could only rely on scouts to investigate.

In this way, Zhang Dazhu and his entourage quickly distanced themselves from the team, and it took them only two hours to walk out of the Gobi and arrive at the border of Mobei.

"Zhang Qiang, you go to explore the nearby tribes, remember, the small tribes are fine, this is where the boss and they will stay tonight."

"Zhou Cheng, you follow me to go deeper and see if you can touch the wolf tent."

Ge Dahai's thinking is very clear, they only have these two tasks on this trip.

The first is to find the target of the first battle of the Mobei battlefield for Li Yan and the others who are about to arrive, this target must be located in a remote location, and there are no other tribes around, so as to get enough rest time after the first battle.

The second task is even clearer, the ultimate goal of Li Yan leading this cavalry team is to take the Turkic king's tent and capture Jieli Khan.

Therefore, the second task is naturally to find out the specific location of the Turkic king's tent, so that Li Yan can lead the army to carry out precise beheading.

In the final analysis, it is really unrealistic to sweep the real stronghold of the Turks in Mobei with a thousand-strong cavalry team.

If you want to really take Mobei, you still have to wait for the army to press the border and wipe out the major tribes in Mobei one by one.

And just like that, the trio of scouts went into action, and they were frantically squeezing the strength of their mounts.

Pity these three "piglets" whose real age is less than a year old, they have endured the suffering that they should not bear at this age.

……

After the three of them were divided into two groups, Zhang Qiang's mission was carried out very smoothly, he only determined the target after less than 200 miles around the edge of Mobei, and began to wait after remembering the precise location.

The plan seems to go very well, but problems often arise in this situation.

Ge Dahai and Zhou Cheng did not investigate for a while in the process of going deep into the Mobei grassland, but were discovered by a ten-person Turkic cavalry team first.

Considering the importance of the task of this trip, the two did not choose to run steadily, but wanted to use their speed advantage to completely destroy this cavalry team.

It's a pity that the two of them underestimated the Turks.

In the process of pulling the distance, the leader of the Turkic cavalry team suddenly shot confidently, bent his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow in an instant.

This is a strong bow, which cannot be pulled by non-wrestlers, which leads to the unimaginable speed of the arrow's flying speed, Zhou Cheng was shot in the leg without checking for a while, and slipped directly off the mount.

"Not good!"

Ge Dahai watched Zhou Cheng's arrow, but the speed of Yu Yu's mount was too fast, and he had no chance to turn back to save it.

After finally pulling away from him, Ge Dahai hid his figure and saw that Zhou Cheng's life was saved due to his self-protection actions in place, but he was caught by the Turks.

"Khan, it's the Tang people!"

After inspecting Zhou Cheng, a Turkic cavalryman reported to Ashinash Bobi, who was the little Khan of the Turks, the Turkic Khan.

The Khan frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Capture the tribe and believe in interrogation."

Tuli Khan didn't think about the aspect that the Tang Dynasty was about to overwhelm the army, he just wondered why there were Tang people in the Monan grassland.

"What is that he riding? How is it so fast? ”

The Turki Khan seemed to think of something and asked.

"Khan, this seems to be ...... Swine? ”

The Turkic cavalryman replied with some disbelief.

Zhou Qiang's mount ran too fast, and they didn't catch it, but they vaguely saw some clues from their backs.

"Huh?"

Now the Turki Khan was even more puzzled.

It's already strange for a Tang person to appear in the Mobei grassland, and it's a Tang person riding a horse, which is outrageous.

"Forget it, go back to the tribe first."

Tuli Khan temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and led people to return to the Ashina tribe with Zhou Chengcheng.

Ge Dahai did not retreat, but secretly followed this group of people to the vicinity of the Ashina tribe.
