The cavalry was ready to go on the march, and the Tengger people began to get busy in full swing.

More than 3,000 cattle were quickly slaughtered, and dried beef was made using the method left by Naren Toya, and a large amount of milk wine was poured into the skin.

There were also weapons and equipment, such as arrows, bows and crossbows, as well as a large number of wool felts and wool ropes, which were also tied with cowhide ropes and equipped on the back of each horse.

This was a special army, a thousand men in all, but accompanied by more than three thousand of the best war horses. Basically, each cavalry was three horses, changing horses along the way, while carrying those food, equipment, tents, etc. with them.

Guo Yang rode a black horse, and he looked at his army with satisfaction, galloping back and forth on horseback, remembering everyone in his mind.

A thousand-commander, Anu.

Ten centurions, Ah Jiu, Ah Tu, Ah Mu, Ah Jin and others.

A hundred ten-captains.

Two hundred Captain Wufu.

A thousand people, all of them heroes, all of them Batel, Jebe, and Harichagai of the steppe.

"You are my Guo Yang's right-hand man, you are the heroes on the grassland, you are the archers on the grassland, you are the eagles on the grassland." Guo Yang's voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.

"In the east, that is, the land of Liaodong, the farming tribesmen, that is, the Yan country miscellaneous that you once defeated, drove our grassland nomadic tribesmen away from their homeland and became lost dogs. You say, 'Should you go and save them?' ”

"Yes!" The crowd shouted.

"Those people of the farming tribes, who want to turn our grasslands into cultivated land, want to take our men as slaves, let our women also be slaves, slaughter our old people and children, their greedy and evil claws have reached into the grasslands, do you say, should they be chopped off?"

"Chop!" The crowd was indignant.

"We have defeated them, killed nearly 10,000 of them, their bones have not yet grown Gesang flowers, their skulls have not yet drilled ants, they have healed their scars and forgotten the pain, you say, should they die?"

"Damn it!" The crowd roared in anger.

"We used to be jackals, shooting an arrow to change a place, grabbing a handful of salt and feeling that we were taking advantage, killing two miscellaneous pieces and thinking that we were heroes, riding a horse and a bow and feeling invincible in the world, you say, ridiculous?"

"Ridiculous!" The crowd responded with a loud voice.

"Now, the tiger's teeth are full, the eagle's wings are hardened, and the wolf's teeth and nails are full of strength, even if we are given a piece of the sky, we can tear off a large piece and eat it alive, do you say, do you have the courage?"

"Go forward bravely, fight without defeat! Go forward bravely and conquer everything! Thousands of people spoke in unison, and the roar shook the sky and echoed in the grassland for a long time.

"Then, use the power of our thunder to blast those greedy, superficial, hypocritical, and shameless miscellaneous people to pieces, chop off their dog paws, drink their dog blood, and eat their dog meat. Let's go! ”

Guo Yang waved the long whip in his hand and pointed straight to the east.

Ten teams of cavalry, thunderous with joy, waved their whips, and gradually moved.

For a while, the more than 3,000 war horses neighed, slowly moving forward, gradually increasing their speed, and finally drove neatly into the distance.

The army was marching out, Guo Yang and Anu were walking side by side, and the pigeons circled above their heads, back and forth, looking very busy.

Guo Yang has paid more and more attention to these pigeons, not only breeding a large number of better breeds, but also carrying out various high-intensity training.

A thousand cavalrymen are Guo Yang's fists and feet, or knives, and these pigeons are his eyes and ears.

War requires not only to fight for attrition, courage, and combat effectiveness, but also to be deaf and clear-sighted, to see all directions, to listen to all directions, and to grasp the enemy's information at all times.

Guo Yang wants a fatal blow, so he doesn't want to use his belongings to fight for consumption, which will be too much of a loss.

Just a little better, he didn't dare to gamble.

A true hunter is at least more cunning than those prey, and at least more ferocious than those prey.

At the lowest cost, to obtain the maximum result, this is Guo Yang's order.

……

Thousands of miles away, Guo Yang's cavalry traveled more than 200 miles a day, not too fast, not too slow, about a month to reach the land of Liaodong.

With the temperament of Amu and others, they couldn't wait for four or five hundred miles a day, and they were scolded by Guo Yang and Anu.

It is stupid to expend strength on a needless rush.

If he has traveled a certain distance, Anu will order everyone to camp on the spot, feed the war horses, and recuperate.

"You have to learn to save power, and at the same time, you can't procrastinate like a." Guo Yang looked at his ten centurions and said gently.

"If we hurry up, won't we be able to catch them off guard?" A centurion said with some disbelief.

"Do you know where their main force is? In which direction are they moving? What equipment? How many people? What is the marching speed per day? Anu asked, glaring at the centurion.

The centurion was stunned for a moment, grabbed two handfuls of unkempt hair, and was a little unconvinced.

"Second Master, do you know?"

"Of course I do. They are still more than 2,000 miles away from here, and are gathering around a small city called Hutai, with a total of 8,000 men and horses, half light cavalry, half heavy cavalry, extraordinary combat power, and the most powerful army of the Yan people. It seems that they are determined to drive the nomadic tribe into the savannah this time. ”

Anu frowned and said, like a few treasures, hearing the ten centurions open their mouths, and finally stopped talking nonsense.

"In another seven or eight days, we should enter the territory of other tribes, and there is a mountain range that runs from north to south, and we can only really enter the land of Liaodong after crossing that mountain range. Everyone sent out all the scouts to scout the horses, and they were careful along the way. Guo Yang took out a roll of sheepskin maps, looked at it carefully for a while, and said in a deep voice.

The ten centurions made a loud promise and came out of Guo Yang's tent.

"These bunnies, all of them want to make a career and become a thousand-commander." Send the centurions away, Anu said with a wry smile.

"This is a good thing, it shows that everyone has confidence." Guo Yang looked at the map and said without raising his head.

"Yes, but this kind of frizz is not necessary in the course of war." Anu said.

"Well, then it depends on whether your prestige as a commander is enough. Marching and fighting is different from going to the rivers and lakes to worship the master, and it is not something that can be achieved just by being full of blood. You have a good experience with them. Guo Yang said with a smile.

"Yes, after the basic training, they haven't fought a battle yet, and this time it's just time for them to practice their hands." Anu said.

……

Spring was not over yet, and there was still snow in the large mountain range that ran through the north and south, which delayed Guo Yang's cavalry movements.

However, Guo Yang ordered to march more than 200 miles a day on the grassland, and this speed must also be maintained in the mountainous areas, otherwise, the military law will be ruthless.

Although everyone still doesn't know what military law is, Guo Yang's words are absolute orders, no one dares to squeak, and the order is strictly enforced.

While crossing the mountain, there was a small accident, and the two horses were pounced on by a white-fronted tiger in the dense forest, and they were frightened and rolled off the cliff with a scream.

It was the prepared horse of a ten-captain, and he was so angry that he threw himself into the forest and fought with the white-fronted tiger.

There was a commotion in the team, the tigers roared in the mountains and forests, and many war horses were frightened, neighing, and spinning in place.

The ten-captain belonged to Ah Jiu, and when this happened, Ah Jiu was furious.

He dodged into the dense forest, just in time to see the white-fronted tiger swing out his claws, and tear off a large piece of flesh from the shoulder of the ten-captain.

At the roar of the tiger, the beast opened its bloody mouth and pounced on it.

At first, the ten-captain wanted to avenge his war horse with his fierce martial arts, but unexpectedly, the tiger was not comparable to those jackals and dogs on the grassland, and he threw him down on the snow in three or two strokes.

Ah Jiu's figure flashed, and he arrived in front of the white-fronted tiger, and with a flash of the knife, he cut off the tiger's neck.

"Thank you, Centurion, for saving your life!" The ten-captain covered the wound on his shoulder with one hand and said dejectedly.

"You need to be careful in the future, there are so many fierce beasts in this mountain forest, I don't want my ten-captain to die outside the battlefield." Ah Jiu glanced at the ten-captain and lifted the tiger out of the mountain forest.

A small storm slowed down the march of the army, and everyone strictly obeyed Guo Yang's orders, and had to rush to the mountain road for an extra hour that day, and only set up camp when it was dark.

That night, Ah Jiu personally cooked a large amount of tiger meat and invited Guo Yang, Anu, and nine other centurions to drink.

"Two masters, brothers, please drink." Ah Jiu picked out half a jar of pure grain brew and poured it for everyone.

"Brother Ah Jiu, are you stingy, a puff of wine, let Xiaohong's sister-in-law drink it!" After serving the wine, Amu muttered.

Ah Jiu scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and said angrily: "Two masters, brothers, I'm really sorry, I also brought several jars, didn't I hold back on the way and drank it......

"Okay, okay, come to Ah Jiu's tent, just drink it, and don't expect it." Ah Tu grinned, threw a pinch of wine into his mouth, and smashed his tongue for a long time, as if the aftertaste was endless.

"Yes, Ah Jiu's name is not good, I married a wife who sells alcohol, and I still don't have any alcohol to drink, haha." Ah Jin laughed.

was teased by his own brother, Ah Jiu was not annoyed, sat down next to Ah Nu, and said with a smile: "Ah Jiu is actually the most well-behaved, isn't it, second master." ”

Anu gave him a blank look, didn't say anything, just grabbed the tiger meat and chewed it.

Ah Jiu was bored, moved to Guo Yang's side again, and said with a smile: "Master, what do you say?" ”

Guo Yang wanted to be like Anu, pretending not to understand, but looking at Ah Jiu's cheap appearance, his heart softened.

These guys, when they were still half-grown children, became his most powerful and trusted people, similar to his own group of younger brothers, all of whom were born and died for him.

"Ah Jiu, you said you ......" Guo Yang said with a wry smile, one hand had already touched the storage bag.

"Young master, don't pay attention to him, this guy is very bad, he always steals my wine!" Anu said depressedly.

"Master......" Ah Jiu grabbed Guo Yang's arm pitifully, shaking it vigorously, with a pitiful look on his face.

"Brother Ah Jiu, don't bother Master, it's too embarrassing to look at your virtue!" Amu really couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked over and pushed Ah Jiu aside.

"Amu, you kid's skin is itchy!" Ah Jiu said coldly.

"Master, don't pay attention to that rotten drunkard, he always steals the second master's wine to drink, and he doesn't give us a few points, every time I secretly tell the second master, hehe." Amu laughed.

"Well, Amu is a good kid, he never steals alcohol, and he is also an honest person, and he often helps me find out the wine thief." Anu laughed.

Ah Jiu sighed, stepped aside very hurtfully, grabbed a piece of tiger meat and chewed it, his face quite embarrassed.

"Yes, Amu has grown up in the past two years." Guo Yang smiled gently, reached out and touched the unkempt black head.

"Thank you, Master, for the compliment, thank you, Master! Master, come on, come on, eat meat, Amu will scoop up two of the fattest pieces for you two old people. Amu got up as soon as he could, and in a blink of an eye, he scooped up a large plate of meat and brought it over.

Guo Yang and Anu smiled and nodded, reaching for tiger meat.

"Master, wait." Amu laughed.

"What's the matter?" Guo Yang asked.

"Master, I have heard that eating tiger meat can strengthen the muscles and bones, invigorate the blood and dispel blood stasis, and it is very good for the body. But there is one bad thing about this tiger meat, but not everyone knows about it. Amu said seriously.

"What's wrong?" Guo Yang didn't say anything, but Anu couldn't help asking.

"Hehe, Second Master, it's not embarrassing to say this." Amu scratched the back of his head and smiled innocently.

"It's okay, you say, it's all your own people." Anu laughed.

"Then I'll say it." Amu said with a grin, "Actually, it's not a big deal, I once heard a master say that to eat tiger meat, you need to have a mouthful of meat and a mouthful of wine to enjoy it......

The more Amu spoke, the lower his voice became, and finally he couldn't hear it, because he saw Guo Yang looking at him with a smile.

"Master...... I'm done, let's eat meat! Amu got up as soon as he could, jumped onto his leopard skin in three or two clicks, grabbed a piece of tiger meat, covered his head and ate it.

Originally, everyone was listening carefully to Amu's words, but in the end, they realized that the kid was worse than Ah Wine, and he insisted on asking for wine!

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"You guy, if you want wine, you want wine, it's really not a good thing!" Anu scolded with a smile.

Guo Yang smiled bitterly, shook his head, turned his hand and raised seven or eight jars of wine, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I believe what the master said." ”

There was another burst of laughter.

"Fart, fart, what bullshit master is talking nonsense! It just stinks! ”

Suddenly, outside the tent, thirty or forty feet away, a gong-like voice sounded, and in a blink of an eye, it was already at the door of the tent.

What a quick move!

Except for Guo Yang, everyone else's faces changed, and they reached out and pressed on the hilt of the knife.
