The 100,000-strong army in the middle of the road, the horses' hooves were wrapped in cloth, and the soldiers bit the branches in their mouths, and moved towards the camp tent of the Jielisi Department with subtle movements.

No matter how close the army was, the situation in the Jielisi Department remained the same according to the scout's report, and there was no change in the slightest.

The situation reported by the divided three-way army was the same, no trace of pedestrians was found around Fang Yuan, and it was a little strange to be quiet.

"Report, Commander Qiqi, the brothers of the sword and shield soldiers have covered the artillery battalion and touched the brothers of the trebuchet eight-bull crossbow, and they can attack at any time!"

"Shoot directly, time waits for no one!"

"We must not wait for reinforcements from the Royal Court of Spies, otherwise we will be very passive!"

"Order!"

The scout had been away for less than half a pillar of incense, and the sound of cannons spread to every corner of the grassland, and the soldiers who were hiding for miles could feel the clear sound of cannons and the abnormal breeze.

It was a wave of air that was kicked off by an artillery explosion.

After the cannon sound of continuous incense ended, the trebuchet eight-bull crossbow also immediately stopped attacking, and then the sound of rushing and killing came, and the 20,000 vanguard army iron cavalry led by Wan Shoujiang rushed towards the camp of the Jielisi tribe.

Wan Shoujiang led 20,000 iron horsemen to rush back and forth in the camp of Jielisi, looking at the burning straw man on the ground in astonishment.

Except for the straw men, the entire camp was engulfed in flames, and it was completely empty.

"Report, no ambush was found."

"Report, the figures are all reflected by straw men."

"Report, there is not the slightest living creature in the camp, and the Turks have fled."

Wan Shoujiang pondered for a moment.

"Herald, the commander is an empty battalion, and the Turks of the Jielisi Department are in one place with the Turks of the Luermu Division!"

"The brightly lit battalion is deliberately delaying our march and waiting for reinforcements from the Royal Court of Spies!"

"Order!"

"General, beef jerky, mutton jerky, a lot of air-dried beef and mutton were found in the camp!"

A soldier was about to send the jerky to his mouth as he spoke, and the problem of grain and grass these days made many soldiers worry all the time, and they were naturally a little greedy when they saw the jerky.

The jerky has not yet been eaten, but it was picked open by Wan Shoujiang's sword.

"Don't eat it, you can take these jerky with you, but the Turks stayed, be careful of the poison!"

Many soldiers with jerky in their hands hurriedly threw the jerky in their hands on the ground after hearing Wan Shoujiang's words, and the gluttonous worms in their stomachs disappeared in an instant.

Which is more important, hunger or small life, no one is stupid.

A few quarters of an hour later, Wan Buhai and a group of generals stepped into the camp that was burning with fire, and Wan Shoujiang turned over and dismounted and saluted.

"As you said, these Turks have withdrawn, and we must annihilate them before their reinforcements arrive!"

Wan Buhai calmly glanced at the surrounding camps, bent down and picked up the dried meat on the ground and sniffed it under his nose.

"These wolf cubs are really cunning, and the old man even wonders if they know about the problem of our food and grass being difficult to follow, and deliberately fight a war of attrition for us!"

"Report, Qi Yu Marshal, the scout of the marksman reports, the Turks have joined forces!"

"It seems that their intentions are intent on relocating the tribe to the north!"

Wan Buhai's face sank and he dropped the jerky in his hand: "Without further ado, the three armies are ordered to immediately move north, and they must not be allowed to join the reinforcements!" ”

"Tell the brothers, don't be afraid of tiredness, don't be afraid of hardship, this is a battle where either you die or I live!"

"Once the two divisions of Jielisi and the reinforcements converge, we will bury our bones in another country, and we will give up the homeland that we have fought hard again."

"Be a hero who returns triumphantly, not a national sinner who has lost his territory."

"Swear not to bear the infamy of the ages!"

"Get the order, swear to die and not bear the infamy of the ages!"

After packing up the crossbow arrows and stones that could be used, the Northern Expedition army swung north again for a protracted campaign.

As for the lost shells, after they were blown up, it was possible to recover them again.

..............

Yingzhou Governor's Palace, Liu Mingzhi's study.

Liu Mingzhi listened to Cheng Kai slowly tell what happened to the Northern Expeditionary Army.

"Dashuai, it's been half a month on the way back for the last general, I don't know if the old man has won the two parts of Jielisi!"

"According to the trend of the Western Turkic tribal branches, as long as these two tribes are taken, the rest of the small tribes are not to worry, even if all their tribes are combined in one place, they are just larger ants."

"The last general guessed that before the arrival of winter, the war should be ended and the two lost lands of the Han family should be recovered."

"As long as we regain lost ground and sit on a natural horse farm, the disadvantage of our war horses will not be a problem."

"In just one or two years, my big dragon can wave his army to the north, leap horses and whips, and sweep the Eastern Turks of the Jin Kingdom to dominate the world."

Liu Mingzhi didn't answer Cheng Kai's question, and silently studied the ink.

After a while, Liu Mingzhi lifted the thick wolf hair with one hand and sorted out the rice paper with the other, Cheng Kai immediately went up to help when he saw this, and grabbed the two corners of the rice paper to facilitate Liu Mingzhi's pen.

"The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years."

Ten big characters and two lines of poetry jumped on the paper, Liu Mingzhi put down the wolf in his hand and sat silently on the chair.

Cheng Kaimo read it and looked at Liu Mingzhi with admiration: "Good sentence!" ”

"The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years!"

"The handsome man deserves to be handsome in white, and he lives up to the name of Xie Yuan."

"The one who ends is a wise man who can rule the country on the horse and govern the country on the horse!"

The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years. Mulan poems from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, after the Wei and Jin dynasties, the dragon dominated the world, and naturally there was no such poem circulating.

Liu Mingzhi sighed silently: "It's been two years since I went on the expedition, it's time to end, it's time to end." ”

"Lao Guogong went out to conquer 300,000 people, and now there are 220,000 people left, and 80,000 sons are buried in other places."

"Ben Shuai marched west with 400,000 soldiers, returned 320,000 people, and nearly 80,000 soldiers buried their bones elsewhere!"

"In the past few years, the Turks have invaded the border, coupled with continuous battles, and nearly 500,000 people have been killed and wounded."

"Half a million! There are only a few strokes written on paper, and only three words come out of the mouth, which can be summed up by stretching out one hand. ”

"But half a million people gathered together is enough to build a few cities out of their bones."

"The soldiers who came back from Ben Shuai's western expedition did not die in the Western Regions, but in the end they died in the Northern Frontier."

"With a wave of the long knife, the bowstring is loosened, and a living life is over."

"More than 10,000 people have incomplete bones because of the word dare to die, and they have gone forward one after another."

A sword groan came, and the study was filled with a cold chill.

Liu Mingzhi held the Heavenly Sword in his hand tightly, held it flat in his hand and gently stroked the sharp blade of the Heavenly Sword with his sword fingers.

His fingers were cut by the blade of the sword, and blood dripped down the body of the sword, but Liu Mingzhi didn't notice it, and turned his head to look at the stunned Cheng Kai with deep eyes.

"You say, how many people do you have to die to rule the world?"

Cheng Kai sighed silently: "Dashuai, Qin has the disaster of the Huns, Han also has the disaster of the Huns, Wei and Jin have five chaotic China, and my Dalong has the Turkic Jin State to commit the border!" ”

"This may be the fate of our soldiers, who are destined to die one after another on the battlefield of defending the land and defending the country."

With a soft sound, the Heavenly Sword shot out and pierced through the corridor, trembling slightly.

Liu Mingzhi stared at the Heavenly Sword with fierce eyes.

"Young Master Ben is in awe of fate, but he doesn't believe in fate!"
