In the south of the grassland, about a thousand miles away from the Haotian Battalion, the army recruited by the Xue Manbu was slowly moving forward, and from a distance, a large area of black pressure looked really terrifying.

However, the situation of the so-called 5,000 army is not optimistic, because they are not adapted to the environment on the grassland.

Wu Wu, the leader of the Nanjiang Tribe, looked at the tired young man behind him, and then at General An Mu who was full of confidence in front of him, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart, he was simply taking people to death!

He didn't know exactly how many men and horses the leader had under him that day, but based on the hundreds of elites he saw, these five thousand young men estimated that they couldn't do it.

The equipment of others and the momentum of others are not comparable to them at all.

Alas, I don't know how the leader is going to deal with these five thousand young men that day, I hope he won't be too ruthless, you know, these five thousand young men and women in the Nanjiang Department account for one thousand.

He sighed secretly in his heart, looked at the small river not far in front of him, and then quickened his pace, rushed behind General Anmu, and respectfully bowed his hand: "General, it's not too early at this time, there is another small river in front, why don't we rest by this small river today?" ”

Actually, it's still early, at most four or five o'clock in the afternoon, but it's really not early for them.

General Anmu looked at the sky, then at the tired young man behind him, and nodded helplessly: "Okay, you go and talk to the leaders of the tribes, and rest by the river in front of you today." ”

He couldn't help it, at this time, they could walk forty or fifty miles in a day, because the five thousand troops had been marching on the grassland for more than two months, and the dried meat they had prepared had already been almost consumed, so they had to hunt before resting every day, otherwise they would have to go hungry.

The march on this steppe was too difficult for the people of the ancient tribes, and there were so many difficulties they had to face.

For example, food, don't look at the grassland is full of bison, wild sheep and wild horses, food seems to be very abundant, but there is no fastest wild horse as a mount, there is not enough weapons and equipment to intercept, it is all fake, they can only hunt those lone bison and wild sheep.

Fortunately, there are also a lot of lonely bison and wild sheep on the grassland, as long as they scatter to look for it, there is always a harvest, otherwise, with the little food they brought, I am afraid that people would have starved to death.

Another example is the water source, that is also a problem, they don't bring any clay pots to hold water, after all, the clay pots themselves are not easy to hold, and after filling with water, they are even more heavy and difficult to hold, even if they have that, they will not take it away for months or even half a year.

And the water sources on the grassland are relatively concentrated, either rivers or lakes, the water source is sufficient, or you can't find a drop of water for a day, unlike the wild jungle, where the streams are everywhere, they march on the grassland, if they encounter the river and don't stop to have a good drink, they don't know when they will drink it next time.

There is also firewood, which is also a big problem, because the grassland trees are scarce, and they don't know that the dried cow dung can be used to roast meat, so many times they can only find some yellow weeds to make a fire, beef and mutton or something, basically can be roasted half-baked.

In addition, there is sun and rain, mosquito bites and insect bites, which makes them miserable.

Therefore, even if they are all strong and strong, after more than two months, one by one has lost their energy and their faces are full of fatigue.

Haotianbu's side is different, because they have long been accustomed to life on the grassland.

They have horses as mounts, they can search hundreds of miles a day, and as long as they search for herds of bison, wild sheep and wild horses, they don't have to run, and it is very easy for them to subdue these herds of bison, wild sheep and wild horses.

It is no exaggeration to say that they are not short of food at all, even if they eat it with an open stomach.

Water sources, not to mention, because they are stationed by a small river with plenty of water.

As for what firewood, they not only have cow dung to burn cakes, but also have quite sufficient firewood, because at this time, many people in the Haotian tribe are doing firewood business, and a pound of beef and mutton can be exchanged for a large bundle of firewood, and they also send it to the door.

Zhao Hao even mixed wormwood, wild pepper branches and leaves with cow dung, and invented a special cow dung cake to repel mosquitoes.

More importantly, this time they are waiting for work, they are working the grassland, but they are living in the camp while practicing, resting, and waiting for people to send them to the door, and they are all full of energy.

This morning, Zhao Hao was in the big tent while tasting the newly made herbal tea, then shaking the feather fan to enjoy the coolness, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside, and soon, a reconnaissance squad leader of the Tianshen Battalion hurriedly walked in, and said loudly: "Report, big leader, the army of Xue Man's army is less than a hundred miles away from us." ”

At a distance of 100 miles, it would take at least two days for the army of Xue Man's army to come over, but Zhao Hao didn't want to wait any longer, because there were many things in the camp that he didn't want the people of Xue Man's army to see.

He thought for a moment, and then ordered aloud: "Order, the Dragon God Battalion, the Yaksha Battalion, the Ganda Battalion, the Asura Battalion, the Garuda Battalion, the Kinnara Battalion, and the Mohura Battalion, all the cavalry will gather in the north of the camp, and the cavalry of the Heavenly God Battalion led by Yan Amu and General Hua will be stationed in the main camp. “

He is preventing Xue Man's army from making a sneak attack, although the army of Xue Man's army is under his supervision, it cannot be ruled out that the master of Xue Man's army secretly left the army and touched it, he doesn't want to suffer this dumb loss.

Therefore, he left behind the elite cavalry of Yan Amu, Ah Hua and the Tianshen Battalion, with them, it is estimated that even if Tu Meng personally came to carry out a sneak attack, he would not be able to eat and walk.

Soon, the seven battalions of cavalry had been assembled, Zhao Hao had also been dressed neatly, riding a white dragon to the front of the formation, he glanced at the neat formation of the seven battalions of cavalry, and then waved his hand and shouted: "Go!" ”

Boom, a thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded, and more than 2,000 cavalry rushed straight north.

The distance of 100 miles was two days for the exhausted Xue Manbu army, but for the Haotian cavalry, it was more than an hour.

It didn't take long for Zhao Hao to see a bunch of dense black spots appear on the grassland in front of him.

He smiled confidently, then raised his hand and shouted, "Stop moving forward and wait in formation." ”

They rushed over with such a momentum, and the army of Xue Man's army naturally knew that at this moment, the faces of the five thousand young men were so frightened that even General An Mu was a little dumbfounded.

It is not uncommon for this beast to be ridden, there are many masters in the Xue Barbarian Department who have mounts, question, those who have mounts, they are all famous and numbered masters, can this ordinary person also ride beasts?

An Mu was stunned for a while with a shocked face, and then raised his hand and said aloud: "Stop advancing." ”

The two sides began to confront each other from a distance of a few hundred paces.

More than 5,000 against more than 2,000, the number of people on both sides is almost 10,000, to be honest, this is already a rare war in ancient times, because there are not many large tribes with a population of tens of thousands at this time, let alone a strong confrontation of nearly tens of thousands.

How can this battle be fought?

General Anmu looked at the momentum of the other party, and he really didn't know a little bit in his heart, they were facing not only more than 2,000 young people, but also more than 2,000 beasts, how much strength more than 2,000 beasts could exert, he didn't know at all.

He thought for a while, and then said to Wu in the back: "You, go up and ask, who are they and why are they blocking our way?" ”

Why don't you get on?

Of course, Wu knew who was on the other side, he pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then he pretended to walk to the front of the formation and shouted: "Who are you, you dare to block the way of our army of Xue Man's army." ”

Seeing this, Zhao Hao stepped forward unhurriedly and shouted: "What do you Xue Manbu mean, you have repeatedly sent troops to attack, is it really easy for our Hao Tianbu to bully?" ”

Haotianbu?

I've never heard of it!

At this time, not only General An Mu was dumbfounded, but even Wu was a little dumbfounded.
