Xiao Tianjian's body fluctuated slightly with the action of the sitting war horse, and looked around with a solemn expression, and the soldiers of the two battalions of the Xingtian Army were also like him at this time, one by one with a solemn expression, they put on their battle armor, carried their weapons, lined up in columns, and marched forward, like a stream of iron, gathered at the intersection, and then rushed to the battlefield under the leadership of their respective officers.

The water of the Luo River was flowing slowly on their right side, and a few miles away on their left side, there were mountains and mountains, and the soldiers of the second and third battalions, on this flat land between the mountains and the Luo River, slowly advanced forward in several columns, and between them, there were small groups of cavalry urging war horses, constantly passing between them at trotting speed, rushing to the front of the team.

Xiao Tianjian looked at the strong army he had created, and couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, he was no longer the college student who did not go well back then, but came to this era, through his own efforts, now he has created a strong army that can influence the current situation, he has begun to enjoy the life of this iron horse Jingo, and has no nostalgia for the previous life, and now he has already seen this experience, this is not God's injustice to him, but God gave him this opportunity, Let him come to this troubled era to create a career, then he will have to control his own destiny, no matter what lies ahead, he believes that with his strong army, everything that stands in his way can be completely shattered.

When the soldiers who rolled forward passed by Xiao Tianjian's side, they all solemnly raised their hands to salute him one by one, and Xiao Tianjian also solemnly saluted them, these soldiers have been tempered in Shanxi for more than two years, and now they are all like unsheathed swords, exuding a cold light, although many of them were just farmers who were busy in the farmland before, but under the unique rigorous training of the Xingtian Army, they had already taken off the kind of casualness on their bodies, and they exuded a serious military atmosphere all over their bodies.

Everyone is full of self-confidence, this self-confidence comes from no other source, it is these years, the Xingtian army has rarely encountered a defeat in the southern and northern wars, in the eyes of these Xingtian generals, with Xiao Tianjian, no matter what kind of enemy they encounter, they will not fail, so this time although they heard that they were going to meet the most famous army of the Ming Dynasty today, but they did not show a trace of cowardice, and one by one they stepped on the battlefield that belonged to them with high morale.

Different from these soldiers rolling forward, some scout squads kept rushing back from the front, quickly rushing to the position of the banner of the Xingtian Army in the center, and continuously sending the information from the front back to Xiao Tianjian's Chinese army.

"Report! General Qiyu! Five miles ahead, it has been discovered that the night of the official army is not closed, and the night of the night they sent has opened a search curtain, constantly expelling our scout team, and we can't pass through them to find out the main force of the official army behind! The commander of a scout squad rode up to Xiao Tianjian and reported loudly to Xiao Tianjian, and there were two broken arrows on his armor, and at a glance, he knew that they had just fought with the official army.

Xiao Tianjian nodded slightly and said, "I know, go down quickly to rest and wrap up your injuries, you have worked hard!" ”

After hearing this, the scout chief shouted: "This is nothing, we will die for the general!" ”

At this time, Luo Li and Li Xuanzhu, the two generals, rode their horses to Xiao Tianjian, and after saluting Xiao Tianjian on horseback, they asked them what to do next.

Xiao Tianjian frowned and did not speak, but set his eyes on the horizon in the distance, this battle is not without a little pressure for him, as the saying goes, there is no vanity under fame, and this time they are going to face the last elite of today's Ming Dynasty, and because of the other party's caution this time, until now they have not figured out the true strength of the opponent.

At present, although he has assembled two battalions of soldiers and horses, and a team of more than 300 cavalry, the actual soldiers are more than 3,000 people, and the auxiliary troops are more than 700 people in the baggage battalion and more than 2,000 people temporarily requisitioned in Yongning County, as well as hundreds of engineers, but these auxiliaries cannot be used on the battlefield, they can only provide material support for the war battalion, and only two battalions of soldiers and 300 light cavalry are put into battle.

He had to fight this battle, because he knew very well the significance of this battle for the Xingtian Army, as a guest army came to the hinterland of Henan, it was simply a newcomer, from the fact that thieves like Yidougu dared to come to them for trouble, if the Xingtian Army wanted to gain a foothold here, the prestige in Shanxi alone could not deter the strong in Henan, and he urgently needed a big victory to strengthen the prestige of the Xingtian Army to deter various local forces. And the best way is to completely defeat this Guanning Iron Cavalry, which has repeatedly defeated all kinds of righteous armies in Henan countless times, so that the heroes and powerhouses on the Henan side also know that their Xingtian Army is the strongest army in the world.

Therefore, this battle is very important for the Xingtian Army that has just entered the hinterland of the Central Plains, but now it seems that their preparation is still a little insufficient, at least until now, even the real strength of the enemy army has not been fully explored, and the fighters know that the other side can survive a hundred battles, but now they have begun to launch the whole army before the enemy situation is clear, to meet this strong army that is famous in the world today, so Xiao Tianjian can't say that he is not worried at all.

Fortunately, for the enemy army on the opposite side in this battle, the situation should basically be the same, the enemy army is light and the division comes, although in Yiyang County may know some about the situation of the Xingtian Army, but they should not know much about the real combat power of the Xingtian Army, after all, their two armies have not really met on the battlefield until now, and Zu Kuan led his troops to win many battles in Henan, it is expected that their troops and horses have accumulated quite a lot of arrogance, so to a certain extent, Xiao Tianjian is still quite sure of this battle, What's more, the Xingtian Army is currently at its peak in terms of equipment, training, and even morale, and their formation and combat methods far exceed all the armies in China in this era, so this is also the key for Xiao Tianjian to dare to lead his troops to meet them when the enemy situation is unknown.

In response to the instructions of the two generals under him, Xiao Tianjian retracted his mood, showed a standard smile to them, and pointed forward with his horsewhip: "Stop two miles ahead, and we will defeat this proud army there!" Order the scouts, quickly find out the strength of the other party, let's also see what is so powerful about this Guan Ning Iron Cavalry! ”

Luo Li and Li Xuanzhu immediately nodded and ordered: "Get the order!" ”

At this time, a fast horse flew over, and immediately a knight came to Xiao Tianjian, rolled the saddle and ran to Xiao Tianjian and saluted: "General Qiyu, the subordinates have found out, this time it is the Ming army Liaodong general Zu Kuan, he led two thousand iron cavalry from Lushan four days ago to arrive in Yiyang County at night, and now we are opposite their soldiers and horses!" ”

Xiao Tianjian stared at this scout and asked loudly, "Then is there any movement in Wang Shaoyu's department that is shrinking in Yiyang County?" ”

The scout immediately replied: "General Huiyu, since yesterday, Wang Shaoyu's department has also begun to move, Wang Shaoyu personally led 3,000 soldiers, out of Yiyang County, then crossed the Luo River to the south bank of the river, it seems that he intends to march along the south bank of the Luo River to our Yongning County!" Please, the general decides! ”

Although Xiao Tianjian was slightly shocked after hearing this, the expression on his face did not change much, but showed a slightly relaxed expression, nodded and said, "Good job, how did you find out about these?" ”

The squad leader of the scout team opened his white teeth and replied to Xiao Tianjian with a smile: "General Qiyu, the little ones are disguised as homeless people and sneaked into Yiyang County, and they heard these news in the county seat, after learning the situation, the little ones didn't dare to slack off, so they immediately sneaked back and reported to the general!" ”

Xiao Tianjian smiled and waved his hand to let him step back, instructed his entourage to take credit for him, and then sneered at Luo Li and Li Xuanzhu and said: "This Wang Shaoyu is a clever person, knowing that there is Zu Kuan's department here to hold us back, so he hurriedly stretched out his head from Yiyang County, and wanted to detour to Yongning County from the south bank of the Luo River, and take the opportunity to copy our back road, so that even if Zu Kuan defeated us, he still won the first place in this great achievement of recovering Yongning County!" Hum! The officials and soldiers are full of such villains, and based on this alone, Xiao can assert that the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have rotted to the bones! Don't worry about Wang Shaoyu's guy, what we have to do now is to defeat Zu Kuan's department, and then quickly collect the troops and go back to give Wang Shaoyu's guy a heavy blow! Let the officials in Henan know that since Lao Tzu is here, then their good days should come to an end! Go ahead and give Lao Tzu the ancestral wide department! ……”

After hearing this, the generals cheered even more, and each rode back to his own troops, and thousands of athletes, under the leadership of the officers, accelerated their pace, and ran towards the battlefield, I don't know who it was, and suddenly they started singing in the ranks of the marching army: "Arrogant and arrogant laughing at thousands of waves, hot blood is better than red sunshine, courage is like iron and bones like steel, mind is hundreds of thousands of feet long, and the vision is thousands of miles, vowing to work hard to improve oneself and be a good man, and to be a good man to improve oneself every day......"

After hearing this singing, the soldiers of the army also immediately sang loudly, and Xiao Tianjian immediately laughed loudly, and shouted to the guards such as the iron head: "Let's go!" Go to the front......"
