Today's mouse is broken, go buy it temporarily, and put it on hold for the update, forgive me!
————————————————————————————————————————————
When Yang Tiangang took over the Xuanlong Army, the Xuanlong Army had less than a thousand military horses, as well as hundreds of horse-drawn carriages, just half of the infantry, half of the cavalry, and now these 2,000 people are all on horses, and there are 1,000 empty horses for transfer, which is of course Yang Tian according to the relationship between Yang Jian and Zheng Yi and others.
Wei Chi Shun, Wang Qian and others were indignant when they saw the Xuanlong Army with three thousand war horses, although the court would not be harsh on the material for the White Tiger Army of the Wei Chi family, but it was impossible for the Xuanlong Army to be so generous, but the emperor didn't say anything about it, and they couldn't blame it.
The ceremony of the expedition was very long, the emperor sat on the high platform and couldn't help yawning, and a eunuch beside him hurriedly took out a small red pill for the emperor to take, and the emperor's spirit immediately improved, and his originally pale and bloodless face was quickly covered with redness.
Many ministers who saw this scene couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, according to the news from the eunuchs, the emperor almost stayed up all night every night to have fun, so he would not be able to stand the iron beating body, not to mention that the emperor's body was not good in the first place, and now he even insisted on a marching ceremony to be supported by pills, and if it continues like this, I am afraid it will ......
At the end of the ceremony, Zheng Yi finished reading the long expedition form, and handed over the tokens and will of the transfer of troops to Yang Tian, and the expedition ceremony was completed.
After receiving the token and the holy decree, Yang Tian took out the long sword from the sheath and pointed diagonally at the sky: "Great Zhou Wansheng!" ”
"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! The two thousand Xuanlong soldiers pointed at the sky with their weapons and shouted loudly.
After more than an hour of departure ceremony, the Xuanlong Army stood on horseback like a statue from beginning to end, and even the horse did not sneeze, this sudden sound made the surrounding people startled, and after a while, they immediately reacted and cheered with the Xuanlong Army: "Wan Sheng!" Wansheng! Victory ......"
The voices of hundreds of thousands of people converged to form huge musical notes, which swirled around the square, making everyone's blood boil. Even the emperor on the stage was in good spirits, and his face showed excitement.
Yang Tian's long sword pointed ahead: "Let's go!" ”
The people in front hurriedly got out of the way, and the two thousand Xuanlong soldiers began to move like a neat square, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded, even the shouts of hundreds of thousands of people could not cover up the sound of neat horses' hooves, and the cheers suddenly became louder, and some ministers who began to not believe that they could block the Turks with two thousand soldiers and horses couldn't help but think in their hearts, maybe these two thousand people could really create miracles.
The ordinary people were completely in the dark, thinking that these two thousand people were only a small part of the reinforcements, and seeing that the soldiers and horses of this dynasty were so elite, the fear that the Turks would fight down to Chang'an City was no longer there.
From the Daohuiyuan Square to the outside of Chang'an City, the Xuanlong Army marched in the cheers of the crowd, and many enthusiastic people even chased them to a place more than ten miles outside Chang'an City, until the Xuanlong Army disappeared from sight for a long time before returning.
A girl in a yellow shirt stood on the tower of Chang'an City, looking into the distance stupidly, except for the smoke and dust, she couldn't see anything in the distance, but she didn't want to come down, just stared into the distance motionless, like a beautiful fossil.
"Miss, my uncle can't see it anymore, let's go back."
If Xing'er usually dared to call her uncle, Yuan Qing'er would definitely come down and tear her mouth, but she was not in the mood at this time, and said stupidly: "Xing'er, do you say that Prince Pu Liuru can return safely?" ”
Xing'er's eyes lit up: "Of course you can, miss, don't you see the majesty of your uncle, two thousand troops are like one person, and tens of thousands of people cheer for your uncle, this is what heroes do." When my uncle returns, it will be the day of the young lady's wedding, and at that time, heroes and beauties will complement each other. ”
The more Apricot spoke, the more excited she became, and a faint flush appeared on her face, as if she was going to marry.
"But as long as he can return safely, I'd rather he wasn't a hero." Yuan Qing'er's eyes became red, and she used 2,000 people to meet the 100,000 Turkic army like tigers and wolves, Yuan Qing'er was worried when she got the news, but she just wanted to see Yang Tian again and didn't have time, so she could only look at Yang Tian again silently in the crowd with ordinary people.
"Ugh." Xing'er felt that Yuan Qing'er seemed to be a little abnormal, and immediately stopped her excitement and helped Yuan Qing'er down from the city tower: "Miss, the wind is strong, your body is still weak, let's go back." ”
In the early spring of March, the wind blowing on the city tower still made people feel the slightest coolness, and even the smoke and dust in the distance were gone, Yuan Qing'er walked down obediently, and silently read in his heart: "Pu Liuru Yong, you must return safely." ”
"Yawn." Yang Tian sneezed and thought to himself: Who is thinking of me.
Out of the sight of the people, the Xuanlong Army immediately advanced with all its might, because it was fighting in the territory, in addition to weapons and arrows, the Xuanlong Army discarded all the baggage equipment, passed through the state on the road, did not stop, and even sent people to report when passing by the state capital when they even ate, and prepared food before the Xuanlong Army arrived, and left immediately after eating.
The speed of this march was undoubtedly astonishing, and after three days, the whole army had marched 800 miles, and when it reached the vicinity of Liupan Mountain, the whole army finally stopped.
Liupan Mountain stretches for more than 400 miles, with an altitude of about 3,000 meters. It traverses the three provinces and regions of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo in later generations, which is not only the natural barrier of the Guanzhong Plain, but also an important watershed in the north, where the Jing River, the Qingshui River and the Hulu River all originate.
At this time, behind the Xuanlong Army is Longdong County, a road to the left is to Anyang County, the right is Anding County, and the middle road is along the foot of Liupan Mountain, due to the stubborn resistance of Pule County to the surprise of the Turks, the Turks have not crossed Liupan Mountain, Anyang County can not be ignored behind Liupan Mountain, and there are only two roads left to choose from the foot of Liupan Mountain and Anding County, no matter which way you go, it is possible to meet the Turks.
Yang Tian decided to rest the team on the edge of Liupan Mountain first, and kept hurrying for three days, both men and horses were very tired, if they didn't rest, they would rush forward, and they would undoubtedly lose their combat strength when they encountered the Turks.
