"Quick, the whole army will speed up and advance with all its might!" After three days of arduous marching in the mountains and paying the price of dozens of horses falling into the mountain stream, the Xuanlong army finally walked out of the mountains and arrived at the plains, Yang Tian only let the whole army rest for an hour, fed the horses with concentrate, and after the whole army had a full meal, regardless of the fatigue of the whole army, urged the whole army to advance with all its strength.

There are still more than 600 miles from the distance to Pule County after walking out of the mountains, and it will take about six to seven days according to the normal marching speed, but if you can reach Pule County one day earlier, the possibility of victory will be one point greater, but the Xuanlong Army itself has limited food, and there are no states and counties along the way to replenish, and it can no longer use the speed when it came out of Chang'an, and it has to spend a lot of time cutting grass and feeding horses on the road, and the Xuanlong Army can now reach the limit of 100 miles a day.

There were originally many villages of the Zhou people on this plain, when the Xuanlong army passed by, many villages had been burned by the Turks, and there were unburied corpses everywhere, and the Xuanlong army was full of anger, and the understanding of the brutality of the Turks was deepened.

During the march, the Xuanlong army also encountered several cases of grazing or messenger Turks, for these people, the Xuanlong army was unceremonious, one by one to besiege and kill, the Turkic grazing horses were collected for their own use, this plain is vast, the Turks are more scattered, and think that there is Pinggao County to block, here is already the world of the Turks, many Turks see the Xuanlong Army, but also think that it is their own army, there is no defense at all, and when they find that something is wrong, they have already planted their wings and cannot escape.

There are also a few clever Turks who see that the momentum is not right, and escape the pursuit of the Xuanlong Army, as long as they do not report to the front, the Xuanlong Army has no time to pay attention to it, and let them escape, but if they dare to go to the front of the Xuanlong Army, the Xuanlong Army will send a team to desperately chase and kill until the other party deviates from the route or kills.

Two days after the Xuanlong Army walked out of the mountains, Sha Boluo received the information that the Xuanlong Army was going in the direction of Pule County, Sha Boluo didn't care, just sent a team of 10,000 people to chase and kill this army, he still didn't think that this army of 2,000 people would pose any danger to Zhu Luo Li, if Zhu Luo Qian couldn't even deal with 2,000 people, then he, Ye Hu, didn't have to do it.

What's more, Sha Boluo realized that Wai Luo was in danger and could not be whipped, even if he sent a messenger, it was two days late, and he might not be able to get the news in front of the Zhou army, and sent this team of 10,000 people, purely because this team of Zhou soldiers attacked the war horses grazing by the Turks, and the war horses were lost, and they undoubtedly could not be accepted by Sha Boluo, which also gave Sha Boluo the illusion that this Zhou army wanted to attack his own war horses to achieve the goal of victory.

Since leaving the mountainous area, it has been the fifth day, although the soldiers of the Xuanlong Army are desperately fighting horses, the speed of the war horses is still not fast, and the war horses have been exhausted by the desperate rush in the past few days.

"Lyric." Yang Tian's legs of the war horse were weak, and he fell down foaming at the mouth.

"General!"

"General!"

Several pro-soldiers beside him shouted anxiously, and one of them hurriedly jumped off the horse and held Yang Tian in time, so as to avoid the fate of Yang Tian falling to the ground, fortunately, the horse speed was not much faster than a person at this time, otherwise if he fell down like this, his life might be in danger.

"Stop moving, stop moving forward!" Seeing Yang Tian fall off his horse, Li Gang hurriedly sent an order to the whole army.

The whole army slowly stopped, and all the sergeants hurriedly dismounted to let their horses gasp, and after this sudden stop, dozens more horses fell to the ground and could not get up again.

"General, hundreds of horses have been killed and must rest." Shi Wansui ran up from behind and shouted.

Originally, the Xuanlong army had 3,000 horses, and they could only cross and change horses, but not long after leaving the mountainous area, they successively encircled and suppressed five or six horse grazing points of the Turks, and captured more than 1,000 horses.

It's just that after a few days of mountain roads, the original war horses of the Xuanlong Army are tired, and after a few days of desperate travel, the essence of the horses is forced to reduce due to the lack of materials, and a large number of war horses are discarded on the road or can't walk, so that only four thousand hanging zeros are left, and if you go down, maybe there will be only one horse left.

Most of the dead or discarded war horses were old comrades-in-arms of the Xuanlong Army, and some had accompanied the sergeants of the Xuanlong Army for several years, and the shortest was half a year, which made many soldiers very sad. Even generals like Shi Wanlong are no exception.

Yang Tian looked up at the sun, it was still early at this time, there was almost an hour and a half before it got dark, if he rested, he would never be able to catch up today, and asked Li Chong: "General Li, how far is it from Pule County here?" ”

"Back to the general, this place is still more than eighty miles away from Pule County."

"More than eighty miles." Yang Tian groaned, with the current state of the war horse, I am afraid that he can only barely run eighty miles a day, if he rests now, he will definitely not be able to reach Pule County tomorrow to participate in the battle.

"Chuan Ben ordered the whole army to walk and camp for another twenty miles."

"Yes." The herald quickly issued the order, and the sergeants had to tearfully discard the horses that had just collapsed on the ground, and the whole army led the horses on foot.

Red Shadow ran in front of Yang Tian, affectionately licking Yang Tian's hand, this horse is still in good spirits, Yang Tian is reluctant to use it to run long distances, and has been letting it follow with an empty saddle, which makes Red Shadow very angry, sometimes running and running will deliberately make trouble, biting the mount that Yang Tian stepped down with his mouth, so that Yang Tian is helpless against it.

Even when walking like this, there were horses lying on the ground from time to time and refusing to move, the sergeants could only whip desperately, and the horses that really refused to get up could only give up, and the horses became a drag at this time, and the speed of the whole army marched as slow as a snail.

There were still about two quarters before dark, and finally after more than 20 miles, the whole army found a place with a water source and stopped, and the sergeants began to lead the horses to drink, and then let them graze, except for a small number of people to take care of them, the others began to camp, and it was simple to camp on the grassland, which was nothing more than to flatten the ground a little, and then spread a little grass on the ground to prevent the cold, and at the same time dig a ditch around it to prevent wild beasts from invading.

Although it is unlikely to encounter the enemy here, Yang Tian still does not dare to be careless, every day when camping, in addition to the trench, but also to dig some traps, which will undoubtedly increase a lot of workload, after doing this, it has been dark, some people began to make a fire to cook, more people seize the time to cut the grass with a knife nearby, ready to feed the horse at night, otherwise the concentrate is insufficient, and there is not enough time for the war horse to eat grass during the day, the war horse is easy to emaciate, and finally unbearable to ride. The sergeant could not rest until he had been busy for a long time.
