Yuan Tan repeatedly instructed Zhang He and the others a few words, and then asked them to quickly order the troops, and after ordering the soldiers and horses, they immediately led the troops to set off.

Yuan Tan's biggest advantage is that once he makes a decision, he must do it to the end and never regret it.

Zhang He and the others saluted Yuan Tan solemnly, and then said goodbye and left.

Half an hour later.

Zhang He and the others had already led the troops out of Yecheng, and the army marched all the way, heading straight for the Tieniu River!

Within a radius of dozens of miles from Yecheng, there was a strong atmosphere of war everywhere, and the battle between the scouts on both sides had become white-hot.

The Yuan army suffered the loss of the Liaodong crossbow, and the losses of the soldiers were relatively greater, but compared to the 40,000 troops under Yuan Tan's command, the death of a few hundred scouts was nothing.

A Youzhou scout with an arrow on his back galloped to the front of Fu Zhi and the others, and said weakly: "The enemy general Zhang He personally led the army to the direction of the Tieniu River, please send troops to the rescue quickly!" ”

Fu Zhu frowned and asked, "Have you ever found out how many men and horses Yuan Jun dispatched this time?" ”

"Nearly 20,000 people, mainly infantry, only a few thousand cavalry" The scout closed his eyes and fainted.

Seeing this, he hurriedly ordered the scout to be carried to the medical camp for treatment, and then fell into deep thought.

After a long time!

He looked up at the sky and saw that the sun had set, so he said, "Pass my general order and order the army to camp on the spot, repair it in place for the night, and then leave again tomorrow morning." ”

"What?"

"Gonghe, when has this been? Why stop the army to recuperate? ”

The people who spoke were Li Hu and Han Dang, the former was concerned about the safety of his brother, and the latter was concerned about the life and death of his father-in-law.

They weren't wrong, the two of them were just that kind of mouthful.

Han Bao frowned, looked sideways at Li Hu and Han Dang, and scolded angrily: "What are you yelling about, what did my brother say before, did you forget it so quickly?" ”

Li Hu stubbornly said: "My brother ordered me to wait for Mr. Wei's order, but this place is less than twenty miles away from Yecheng, why do you have to stop and rest?" ”

Huang Zhong shook his head silently at Li Hu, signaling him to be calm and not to be impatient.

He sighed helplessly, and said in his heart: "The lord really gave me a problem, these arrogant soldiers are really difficult to deal with." ”

Frustrated to rationalize his thoughts, he said in a deep voice: "It is precisely because there is Yecheng ahead, so we should rest here, the soldiers have been on the road for a day, they are not as good as you, you are all tireless battlefield generals, but what about them? After all, they are just mortal wombs.

I let the army rest in place, firstly, so that the soldiers could drink saliva and eat something to replenish their strength.

The second is to let the soldiers do a final self-examination to see if their weapons are sharp enough, whether the armor needs to be replaced, whether the crossbow arrows on the body are complete, whether the war horses need to be fed, they are about to face a sleepless battle, and before the battle, it is necessary to do a final check on their weapons and equipment! ”

After a pause, his frustrated gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, and continued: "After I finish speaking, do you have any objections?" ”

Li Hu and the others were all silent!

Seeing that no one stood up to raise objections, Frustration waved his hand to the crowd and signaled that they could leave!

Everyone bowed to Fu Zhu in unison, and said in unison: "Sir is thoughtful, and the last general will be taught!" ”

The generals left one after another, and arranged for the headquarters to make the final preparations for the battle.

Fu Zhu smiled with satisfaction, and said to Li Hu and Han Bao: "They are all good generals of my Youzhou!" ”

The two nodded in unison.

Three hours later.

Zhang He looked up at the sky and saw that it was already the third watch, so he said to Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang beside him: "It's getting late, it's not appropriate to continue the march, find an open place to set up camp, let the soldiers rest for one night, and it's not too late to go again tomorrow morning." ”

Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang nodded and agreed, and after some discussion, they decided to go forward and camp in Wuli.

Lü Kuang led the front army to arrive at the camp site first, and he ordered people to set up a simple camp first, so that after the arrival of the army, a lot of unnecessary troubles could be saved.

The camping site of the Yuan army was carefully selected by Zhang He and his colleagues, and it was only less than twenty miles away from the Tieniu River, which means that it was less than an hour's journey from here to the Tieniu River.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, five watches!

According to the modern time conversion, about five o'clock in the morning, in winter, the fifth watch is not yet dawn, but the soldiers of the Yuan army are ready to go, just waiting for Zhang He's order, they can set off with the army.

According to Zhang He's previous plan, he was in a hurry at this time, and when the army arrived at the mouth of the gourd by the Tieniu River, the sky was just white, and at that time, the soldiers could immediately enter the battle, which could save a lot of time.

While marching, Sergeant Yuan was nibbling on dry food that was as hard as bricks and stones, and the cold water in the kettle accompanied by the bone-chilling cold wind was their best meal!

It has to be said that the discipline and hard-working spirit of the officers and men of the Yuan army are by no means comparable to those of ordinary troops.

At the same time, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei came to Li Yang's tent together.

Seeing that Li Yang was still leisurely dressed, a very rare smile appeared on his face.

"Yo he, it's rare to see you smiling, I'll have to go out and take a good look later, don't let the sun come out in the west." Li Yang quipped!

Zhao Yunwan didn't expect that at this time, Li Yang was still in the mood to joke, he shook his head helplessly, and stepped forward to help Li Yang put the golden silk soft armor on his body.

Li Yang pursed his lips and said, "What's the matter today?" Why did Zilong shake his head? Don't affect the morale of the army! ”

Zhao Yun was slightly stunned, and said in a flat tone: "When is this happening, the lord is still in the mood to laugh." ”

"Hmm!"

Li Yang nodded silently and said, "What can I do if I don't laugh?" You can't cry, can you? Ay... The path you choose will be completed on your knees! ”

Li Yang was very nervous, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to adjust the atmosphere in the tent by laughing.

Li Yang stretched out his finger and pointed to the armor on the shelf, and said to Dian Wei, "Help me!" ”

Dian Wei hurriedly stepped forward, took off the armor from the shelf, and helped Li Yang put the armor on neatly.

Li Yang was wearing a moon lion helmet and snow flake fish scale armor, and his armor weighed more than fifty catties, and people who were waiting for him couldn't wear such heavy armor at all!

It can be seen that Li Yang's courage is very comparable!
