Chapter 286: Wait, Lao Tzu is a little confused
The bitter cold of the Northern Regions and the cruelty of the war made Yang Shuang's entire army feel like arrows.
Naturally, the soldiers in Longxi don't need to say much.
Originally, it was just an escort, but it took more than half a year, and in the end, it was not far away to enter the hinterland of the Northern Regions, and it was a miracle that he survived.
And those Manu who have never been to the Central Plains have a much more complicated mood.
While worrying about the unknown future, I am looking forward to a better life.
They didn't know if the Governor would care about them after they went south.
But after this period of time together, they firmly believe that the Metropolitan Governor will fulfill his original promise.
In terms of meritorious deeds, everyone has a field to cultivate and a house to live in.
"Speed up, trek a hundred miles today!"
"Order!"
Leaving the Yanran Realm, the snow gradually thinned.
But when they came out of the Knife Valley, all the horses were abandoned, except for the important grain and grass, which was pulled by manpower, and the rest of the soldiers were all on skis.
With the help of the north wind brought by the cold Siberian current, the speed of the people is not too slow.
Walk at dawn and rest at sunset, so that after more than ten days, we will arrive at the edge of the Black Gobi.
Early in the morning.
Yang Shuang, who got up early, stepped on the knee-high snow and waved his shield and knife, pondering the enemy's routine.
Anu led several sentry horsemen to roar.
"Report! Governor, urgent! ”
"What?" The trip to the Northern Regions made Yang Shuang much calmer, at least, in his opinion, there was nothing in the Northern Regions that could resist his direction.
This is a kind of self-confidence!
"Qiyu Dadudu, fifty miles ahead, a large number of horseshoe prints were found, and guessing according to the depth and direction, the other party seems to be the sentinel of a certain legion! And judging from the size of the horseshoe prints, it should be a grassland war horse! ”
Yang Shuang put away the shield and held the knife, patted the snow on his feet, and took the boiling snow water brought by Li Wuyi and poured it wildly, "How many rides are there?" ”
"More than fifty!"
"Huh?" Yang Shuang was slightly stunned.
In general, the number of sentries should be tied to the size of the clan.
For example, a 3,000-strong legion would generally send 300 sentinels, divided into dozens of teams, or a team of five, or a group of three, to gallop back and forth to detect the enemy.
If the enemy's sentry cavalry is as high as 50 people, it seems that its main force will not be lower than the number of "10,000".
Thinking of this, Yang Shuang was a little puzzled and asked, "Could it be a chaotic army?" ”
Anu shook his head, "Although the horse's hooves are messy, there are still some traces of military troops in them, and looking at the way they probe, it's a bit ····· It's a bit like the wolf rider we encountered in the first place! ”
"Poof······ Yang Shuang, who was drinking water, suddenly squirted out a mouthful of snow water that was about to enter his throat, coughed violently, and said in surprise: "What nonsense, Lao Tzu can find a route at will, and you can meet the Turkic wolf rider?" ”
"Report !!"
Without waiting for Anu to explain, he ran again in the distance and rode again.
Yang Shuang looked at it, but it was a slave and a second person.
"Report! The Metropolitan Governor, an unknown legion was found fifty miles ahead, and for fear that the enemy's massive sentry cavalry would be discovered, he couldn't find out the number of the other party for the time being! However, judging from the dark shadows that stretch into the sky, it should be ····· It shouldn't be less than 200,000! ”
"Multi-····· How much?! When Yang Shuang heard this, his hands shook and he almost threw away the black iron rice bowl in his hand.
"Not less than two hundred thousand! No, three hundred thousand! Nu Er was also a little suspicious of his eyes, and communicated with the other sentry behind him, and once again reported an answer that seemed a little unreliable.
"Do you really see clearly?"
Nu Er swallowed his saliva, stared at Yang Shuang's dark face, nodded and said seriously: "See clearly, maybe there will be more!" ”
"Fuck your uncle!" Yang Shuang was furious, how could these few pieces of information be so disturbing!
The main Turkic force had already been taken to the Sea of Bitterness by the idiots of Sabelio and fought a decisive battle with Datou and Tush, how could there still be so many soldiers and horses in the Northern Regions?
Falling from the sky? Or did it crawl out of a crack in the ground?
!
"Why don't you give Lao Tzu the entire 400,000 ?!!!?"
"Report !!"
However, before Yang Shuang's words fell, Nu San had already rushed to the front with several sentinels.
"Report! Thirty miles to the south, there was a main force of Sabellius, and they seemed to have spotted our army and were rushing with all their might!! ”
"What?!"
Yang Shuang was really stunned this time, "The main force of Shabelio?!" ”
"Yes, the Metropolitan Governor, I saw the wolf flag!"
The generals who rushed to hear the news were dumbfounded, "How is it possible?" ”
"Grass special mother, is the bitter sea war over? Is Sabelio ready to return to Yinshan? ”
"Back to the fart! They're coming north! ”
"Oh my God! Do they want to go back to Yanran? ”
The gossiping crowd was silent, and their faces became extremely pale, and then they all looked at Yang Shuang.
"The Grand Governor?!"
"Wait, I'm a little confused!"
