"General, the military situation has been discovered twenty miles ahead."

Just as Gan Mao was about to rest, a lieutenant of the Northern First Army hurriedly pushed open the dilapidated door and rushed in, his footsteps were not yet steady, and he didn't have time to breathe.

"Have you ever determined the number of people?"

Gan Mao's eyes froze slightly, he couldn't have imagined that the coalition army would come so quickly.

The lieutenant shook his head with a bitter look, and he replied with his hands arched and a somewhat reproachful tone

"It's too dark, and the other party is also a cavalry, so we can't determine the number of people, but there are thousands of people."

Thousand-man cavalry.

Gan Mao got out of bed, but fortunately the armor on his body was not removed, and after taking his sword in his hand from a chair beside him, he walked out of the room with the captain.

"Gather the troops, you go and call Captain Li to the general."

Gan Mao looked at the soldiers in Baling Village who had already learned of the military invitation in advance and began to come out to assemble one after another, and his frowning brows finally stretched a little.

"Order all the staff to prepare for battle."

"Yes."

The lieutenant didn't care about anything else, received an order from Gan Mao and ran to gather the troops of the Northern First Army.

Fortunately, it was this hour.

Gan Mao closed his eyes and took a long breath.

If this time had been in the morning, the soldiers of the Northern First Army would have rested early today.

The remaining sentry posts will also be less than 100 people, all because of the rapid march.

But fortunately, the enemy situation has been discovered at this hour, so it is still too late.

After a while, Li Chengqian looked a little flustered, wearing his armor, and trotted all the way to Gan Mao's side.

Gan Mao nodded casually, and then glanced at the almost 1st Beiyi sergeant who had been assembled in the village, Gan Mao took the reins of the horse from the hand of the captain on the side, turned over on the horse, pulled out his sword, and yelled at the Beiyi sergeant

"Eternal victory!"

"Victory! Victory! Victory! ”

The soldiers of the Northern First Army slapped their palms on their chests and abdomen in unison, and also shouted in unison.

"Get on your horse and attack."

Gan Mao glanced at Li Chengqian, who was still stunned, raised his eyebrows, and said angrily

"What are you doing? Launched! ”

Gan Mao's roar pulled Li Chengqian back from his ignorant state, and after stumbling over the horse, one palm was trembling slightly.

He placed his palm on the handle of the iron sword at his waist, and then the trembling stopped for a moment.

Gan Mao frowned again when he saw this, but he didn't have anything to do with Li Chengqian, he just clamped his legs hard, and the horses under his crotch rushed forward.

At this moment, Gan Mao also pointed the sword in his hand directly in front of him and shouted

"Attack!"

All of a sudden, more than 3,000 soldiers from the Beiyi Army in Baling Village mounted their horses at the same time, followed behind Gan Mao, and galloped out.

And Li Chengqian is also among them.

It's just that his complicated feelings at this time are still entangled in his mind, and he can't dissipate them for a long time, this is the first time he really wants to touch the battlefield.

"General, how should I attack this time?"

A lieutenant in the army rode a horse and chased after Gan Mao's side and right rear, and asked at the exit of Gan Mao.

"Sweep it all in one go!"

Gan Mao couldn't help but lick his lips when he said this.

He is also, he has not been on the battlefield for more than ten years, and this feeling of being absent for a long time is too nostalgic and loved in his opinion.

The number is estimated to be more than 1,000 cavalry, which can just use these people as the whetstone of the Northern First Army.

According to what Gan Mao thought in his heart, the first battle of the Northern First Army should be killed with real swords and guns, so that after the baptism of war, these cubs can be transformed into real soldiers.

Instead, the flower bones in the greenhouse.

"The cavalry of the Central Plains Coalition Army, it must be the cavalry of the Zhao State."

Gan Mao laughed loudly in the wind, and he didn't know why he had such a look after confirming that the enemy army that came from the Zhao State was from the Zhao Kingdom, and there was an indescribable joy.

This is not to say that Zhao's cavalry is rubbish in the Central Plains, in fact, on the contrary, among the Central Plains countries, Zhao started with cavalry, and also stabilized Zhao's position in the Central Plains with cavalry.

It can be said that the cavalry of Zhao, the infantry of Wei, and the navy of South Korea represent the highest level of these three major arms in the Central Plains.

After all, I think that at the beginning, the cavalry of the Beigen Empire and the cavalry of the Zhao State had killed each other.

And the reason why Gan Mao is so happy is probably because what he encountered this time should be the cavalry of the strongest cavalry country in the Central Plains.

Yu Qi used those weak old and weak soldiers to fight, and Gan Mao preferred to choose a stronger opponent as the first opponent of the cavalry of the Northern First Army under his command.

"If the general's guess is correct, the number of cavalry of Zhao State this time should be less than two thousand, and fifty miles away, it should be the combined army of other countries in the Central Plains.

When Gan Mao said this, his expression inevitably showed a touch of coldness.

Although the opponent was the cavalry of the Zhao State made him happy, the strength of the cavalry of the Zhao State would also make him cautious.

"Subordinates obey."

"You and Captain Li will take five hundred horsemen and make a detour from the left and right, so you must block the retreat of this group of Zhao cavalry and try to eat them in one go."

Gan Mao's expression gradually calmed down, and after giving this order, he felt a little uneasy, so he opened his mouth to add

"Let Captain Li take a detour from the left and tell him that if something goes wrong with him in this battle, he will definitely feel better in the future."

"General, this."

The captain's face was a little embarrassed, he didn't know who this so-called Captain Li was.

Not only him, but among the 4,000 cavalry of the First Army of the North, basically many people know that this so-called Captain Li is His Royal Highness Li Chengqian, the second prince of their south.

General Gan's warning is full of meaning, this is what I want to say to the second prince.

He's a little timid.

However, before he could be timid, Gan Mao glared back at him and scolded angrily

"Don't go quickly, the other party is also a cavalry, only twenty miles, at most a quarter of an hour the two sides will meet."

"No, No"

Although the captain was still very reluctant in his heart, he also knew that this matter could not be delayed.

The distance of twenty miles, coupled with the fact that the soldiers of the Northern First Army here and the Central Plains coalition army that came to attack were all cavalry, in fact, the distance of twenty miles was already very close.

After the lieutenant stumbled and finished talking to Li Chengqian about Gan Mao's order, Li Chengqian nodded hurriedly, and there was no displeasure on his face, but he asked apologetically

"I wonder if the general wants to annihilate this group of cavalry this time?"

This lieutenant also saw that the legendary second prince turned out to be so approachable, and he suddenly relieved himself of the burden in his heart, smiled a little awkwardly, and said

"Yes, general, he wants to use these more than 1,000 Zhao cavalry as a whetstone for our Northern First Army."

Li Chengqian nodded, and said to the captain in a humble tone

"In that case, thank you big brother, I'll go and mobilize people."

"It should be, it should be."

The lieutenant didn't want to stay here longer, and after confirming Gan Mao's order with Li Chengqian, the two went their separate ways to mobilize their own men.

At the same time, on the flat land not far from the Northern First Army, which was only a dozen miles away, a group of more than 1,000 soldiers rode forward at a slow pace on horses of different colors under their command.

A general-like man at the head was riding on a horse, looking intently at the blueprint he held in his hand that recorded a map of the neighborhood.

"Not far ahead, there is Baling Village, and after passing the Baling Bridge, you can cross the Changban Slope, and you can kill all the way to the Jiangxia City Gate."

The thousand men would say this to themselves, nodding their heads from time to time.

And just behind him, the more than a thousand cavalrymen in cyan armor were lazily holding the spears in their hands, scattered, and by this time, they had no formation, and from the outside, they were more like a group of idle wanderers.

"Lord of a thousand people, isn't it a little bad for the brothers behind us to behave?"

A 500-year-old man who looked a little young and had some worries in his eyes rode up to the 1,000-man general, and the worry in his tone was full of concern.

I saw that the five hundred people under his command would say this, and after the thousand people turned their heads and looked at them casually, they turned their heads and continued to stare at the map in their hands, waved their hands a little carelessly, and said impatiently

"What are you talking about, we are not far from Xinye City, where the coalition forces are stationed, how can Nanli's army be stationed here, boy, you are still too nervous, but this is normal, like you, the first time you go to the battlefield, it is inevitable that you will be a little flustered and nervous, listen to the general's advice, let down your guard, although the terrain here is not very good, but Nanli will definitely not ambush an army here, unless Nanli's army has wings and can fly, do you understand?"

The words of the thousand generals can be regarded as prevaricating the young five hundred generals.

Eventually, he let out a sigh of relief, and then he was about to step back, not wanting to stay with the stupid-looking Thousand Generals.

However, just as he was about to twist his horse's head, he suddenly heard a noise from the earth.

The expressions of the five hundred generals changed suddenly, and they hurriedly jumped off their horses, their bodies pressed against the ground, and their ears were tightly pressed, and after hearing the sound of shaking from the earth, the expressions of the five hundred generals had become a little nervous.

I saw him come to the thousand-man general again and said to him solemnly

"The Thousand-Headed General, his subordinates, seem to have heard a violent noise."

As he said this, the palms of the five hundred men were tightly clenched.

Yes, this Qianren general is right, he is indeed a chick who goes to the battlefield for the first time, and it is easy to be nervous by some of the things that he has not.

In the same way, this time, because of his lack of experience, he couldn't be sure, so he could only come to ask for help with this thousand-man general who seemed to have experienced a hundred battles.

Even if it doesn't work to ask for help, even if it attracts the slightest attention of this thousand-person general, it's okay.
