In September, the northwest was already quite cold, the fields were already green and yellow, many plants and trees began to turn yellow, and the heaven and earth suddenly became a little more sparse, and even the birds and birds that can be seen everywhere are much less.

As night fell, the northwestern wasteland was slowly swallowed up by darkness, the whole land seemed to shiver in the cold, and most of the creatures returned to their warm and comfortable homes to sleep, but at this moment, the wasteland was interrupted by a rapid march.

Yang Wenguang was dressed in light armor, holding the family heirloom horse chopping knife and walking quickly, and behind him, there was a battalion of 500 elites, although the night in the northwest was very cold, but Yang Wenguang and the soldiers behind him were steaming hot, because since nightfall, they have been marching rapidly, and before dawn, they must also arrive at the predetermined place.

Yang Wenguang was also one of the soldiers who participated in the attack on the party this time, and he was still very lucky, he should have been assigned to Hebei, but because of Li Zhang's help, he went to the northwest on the day he left Wuxue, and was also assigned to General Zhou Meizhou as a battalion commander.

What's more coincidental is that Zhou Mei was appointed as the vanguard officer of the attack on the party this time, and after Yang Wenguang came to Zhou Mei's men, he quickly won Zhou Mei's attention with his outstanding performance, so when he went on this expedition, Yang Wenguang and his soldiers were also assigned an important task, that is, to raid a tribal stronghold near the border of the Great Song Dynasty.

Yang Wenguang also attached great importance to the tasks assigned to him by General Zhou, and according to the information he received, the Dangxiang tribe in this stronghold was not very large, about two or three thousand people, and after removing the old, weak, sick and disabled, women and children, there were about seven or eight hundred warriors left.

Judging from the number of people, it seems that Yang Wenguang and his subordinates are not superior, but Yang Wenguang is not worried, because the five hundred people under his command are all the elites he has personally trained, and in the last few exercises, their battalion can get the first place under General Zhou, you must know that Yang Wenguang has only been able to achieve such results within a few months of taking over this battalion, which is also one of the reasons why General Zhou values him.

However, even if he had confidence in his own soldiers, Yang Wenguang did not underestimate the enemy in the slightest, in fact, their battalion had come to the periphery of the Dangxiang stronghold as early as two days ago, but he did not rush to attack, but sent people to reconnoiter this Dangxiang tribe, and after finding out the reality of the other party, he hurried overnight, preparing to launch a surprise attack on this Dangxiang tribe before dawn.

It is worth mentioning that Yang Wenguang was only a small part of the vanguard army that attacked Dangxiang this time, in addition to him, Zhou Mei also sent several armies to divide the troops to attack the various tribes of Dangxiang, these tribes all lived close to the Great Song Dynasty, so they had to be recruited to clear the roads for the army in the rear.

Thinking of the above, Yang Wenguang couldn't help but be a little enthusiastic, this attack on the party was strictly confidential, and even the day before they sent troops, the main general Zhao Zhen summoned the generals to announce the matter, and the next day Zhou Mei, who was the vanguard, led them to leave the camp first, Zhou Mei had a total of 5,000 people, that is, ten battalions, and their early role was to uproot these party tribes close to the Great Song Dynasty.

"Commander, the Black Wind Department is ahead, when will we start?" At this moment, I suddenly saw a spy rushing over to report to Yang Wenguang, the other party was a spy he sent during the day, and he had been observing the Black Wind Department in the distance for the past two days, collecting intelligence by the way, and when he found out that Yang Wenguang and they were coming, he immediately stepped forward to report.

Yang Wenguang was also shocked when he heard this, and then immediately ordered the whole army to stop advancing, and rest on the spot to recover their strength, they brought dry food and water, and now they can eat something, after all, the previous rapid march also consumed a lot of their physical strength.

Others could rest, but Yang Wenguang couldn't, he immediately asked the spies to lead him quietly close to the Black Wind Division, and they walked a few hundred meters through the half-human-high weeds in the wasteland, and finally came to a low bush and crouched down, and not far in front of them, there was a brightly lit camp.

The Dangxiang people are mainly nomadic, but since the Dangxiang people occupied Xingzhou, it is said that many Han people were arrested to open up wasteland in Xingzhou, which also made their food sources get some guarantees, of course, it was only the big Dangxiang tribe in Xingzhou, and most of the Dangxiang tribes followed the nomadic customs of their ancestors.

Yang Wenguang raised his binoculars and carefully looked at the camp of the Black Wind Department, it was almost four days now, most of the people in the Black Wind Department had fallen asleep, only the torches were lit in the center of the camp, which should be the leader's tent, except for here, the rest of the camp was also dark, even if the telescope could not be seen.

The spy next to him looked at the telescope in Yang Wenguang's hand with a look of envy, but unfortunately it was useless for him to be envious, the telescope was a graduation gift given to the students by martial arts, and Li Zhang had also made people burn a relatively translucent glass over the years, which could make some simple monoculars, so Li Zhang gave one to each of the students of martial arts, which was one of the benefits of martial arts.

After carefully observing the camp of the Black Wind Department for a while, Yang Wenguang was almost sure that this tribe should not have any defenses, in fact, it was normal to think about it, because it was already September, and with the weather in the northwest, it might snow soon, and then the heavy snow would close the road, let alone fight, and even the road would not be able to go, so at this time of year, most of the tribes also entered a state of recuperation, and their vigilance against the outside world was also relaxed a lot.

Of course, in addition to the above reasons, there is also a reason that the party is getting stronger and stronger, two years ago Li Yuanhao almost unified the party, last year he defeated the powerful Tubo people, attracting countless tribes to come to the party, it can be said that the party has now become a hegemon in the northwest.

Although the Black Wind Department is only a medium-sized tribe at the very edge of the party, no one dares to provoke it in this territory, even if some tribes around them are stronger than them, they usually have to let them have a few points, as for the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, but the army of the Great Song Dynasty rarely steps out of the country, so as long as they do not enter the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, they generally do not have to worry about the attack of the Great Song army.

It's a pity that the previous experience of the Black Wind Department has harmed them, this time the Great Song Dynasty has made up its mind to solve the threat of the party, and Yang Wenguang and these people are the first time that the Great Song Dynasty has taken the initiative to show its fangs to the enemy outside the country after all these years of peace, as for what effect can be achieved, it depends on the performance of Zhao Zhen and Zhou Mei, as well as soldiers like Yang Wenguang.
