There are 3,000 personal guards around Du Si, there are 20,000 elite cavalry guards near the Golden Horde, and there are 70,000 or 80,000 cavalry waiting to be dispatched within a hundred miles of the surrounding area.

The main reason is that the direction of the Song Dynasty army is very clear, along the old road of the old westward expedition, without hesitation all the way to the west, although it crossed his borders and killed thousands of his soldiers, but also let him let go of that long-hanging heart.

How powerful Kublai Khan's Yuan Dynasty is, he and several surrounding khanates have a deep understanding, otherwise the khans of these four khanates, who will recognize the status of vassal states, and still obey Kublai Khan's dispatch, isn't it all because of people's big fists!

Now that the purpose of the Song Dynasty expeditionary force is not to sweep away the Chagatai Khanate, then he can naturally sit back and relax, and there are still two days to go, and the Song army is about to set foot on the border of the Ogedai Khanate.

Since the target is not the Chagatai Khanate, then the Khan should return to the Golden Horde, and it is very dangerous to be close to the Song Dynasty army.

Anyway, there will be nothing to lose, just passing through the border and passing through the borrowed road, the nomadic people along the bureau said that the Song army bought their cattle and sheep forage, and gave them all white silver, and the price was twice as high as their usual price, so many herdsmen sold their cattle and sheep to the Song army.

If it weren't for Duwa starting to send troops to attack the Song army with hostility, all this should have happened in harmony, and the Song army that passed by did not rob the belongings of the people along the way, which has already shown that the Song army came with good intentions.

Thinking of this, Du Wow's heart was even more relaxed, lying on the wide couch of the Golden Tent, tasting the delicacy of a few newly collected beautiful girls, and he was no longer a little wary of Song Jun who was close at hand.

Forty thousand of the strongest war horses gathered silently by the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, and twenty thousand elite warriors in full armor, with the calm of killing money on their faces, waited for the order of the commander.

One person and two horsemen alternate to ride, which is the best trick of the Mongolian cavalry for long-distance running, and sometimes one person will ride three horses, which can carry plenty of dried meat and water bladders. The Mongol horses were able to run long distances without falling behind, only need to eat forage for one night and sufficient water, and the next day they were able to recover enough physical strength to participate in the battle, which was also the key to Genghis Khan's ability to give full play to the advantages of cavalry.

The horses of the Song army are all from the hands of the Yuan army, the breed is pure and well-trained, and in terms of quality, they are better than the cavalry under Du Wa, and these 40,000 horses are selected from them, and the speed and endurance are all the best choices, and the distance of running a hundred miles is not too difficult.

"Woo!"

Two low whistles sounded in the night sky, and the horses, which had been standing calmly under the command of the riders, slowly marched forward, forming a whole line in the first two thousand, trotting out of the large army.

When the first group of cavalry ran out for a while, the second team began to speed away from the brigade again, and in the light of the moon, it was divided into ten groups of cavalry, which looked at each other head and tail, and the speed became faster and faster to the speed of the rapid march of the war horses.

At the same time, there were countless black high-headed horses scattered into the night, and on the horses were also scouts in dark soft armor, with bows and crossbows on their horses, and they burrowed into the dark night in groups of three or five.

They are the most elite special combat team of the Song Army, and they are the elite of the elite created by Zhao Tianyou in accordance with the strict requirements of the Marine Corps, carrying a variety of weapons from near and far, and can sneak behind enemy lines to fight alone.

This was their first tactical mission, which was to find and eliminate the scouts of the Chagatai Khanate hidden in the woods, under the hills, and along the rivers in the dark, and strive to control the news of the Song army's dispatch to the smallest extent.

It is impossible to make such a big military operation full of enemies, but Li Mingyi doesn't want much, as long as he can control and eliminate the scouts around him, that is, the scouts in the distance will immediately discover the military situation, come over to find out and then return to report, then it is likely to arrive at the same time as the vanguard of the Song army.

The sound of rumbling hooves could be heard far away in the night, and in the woods on either side of the procession, the scouts, awakened by the sound, were gathering up to go out to investigate, when they found a few more black knights quietly beside them.

There was no speech or questioning, the attack of the short crossbow in the night was the most unexpected, there was no movement and no sound, and when I realized that something was wrong, the vital point of the body had been deeply shot into the short crossbow, and the vitality and strength had begun to collapse and drain.

Within a few miles of the entire Song army's marching route, this kind of short fighting came and went, and a large number of straggler scouts were laid out on a large scale, which was clear to the Song army one by one at this time, creating an intelligence vacuum within a certain range, which could seriously delay the time for Duwa to grasp the whereabouts of the Song army.

The sky was already slightly bright, and 20,000 cavalrymen had arrived ten miles away from the Duwa Golden Horde station, and with a sound of an order, the whole team came to an abrupt halt, replaced the exhausted horses, and the soldiers, who had galloped for half the night, checked their equipment while munching on dried meat and drinking water to replenish food.

In fact, inside and outside is the camp of a cavalry group in Chagatai, and the soldiers on patrol and guard at night are already drowsy, and the darkness before dawn is the time when people are most likely to be scarce, and besides, they have not received warnings and combat readiness at all, and they are only performing general defensive tasks, and it is generally okay to camp and garrison outside the Golden Horde.

There are more than 3,000 troops in this camp, and there is a big road in front of the camp, and it is also the only way to the Golden Horde, which is also a battle that Li Mingyi can't bypass.

"Sixth brother, eat enough, I'll lead a team of men and horses to charge and take this barracks, you lead the team to continue to accelerate the impact, and I will follow!"

Seeing that what Li Mingyi said was extremely relaxed, Qu Liuyi pursed his lips and followed: "Okay, can you keep up with me?" There are thousands of people anyway, even if they are still sleeping, even if they take a knife and let you cut it, it will take a while.

But once I charge, I won't stop waiting for you, until I reach the location of the Golden Horde, whether I can catch it or not, Wow, that Golden Tent must be brought back to General Zhao, now the sun is so poisonous, it is still necessary to give his old man shade! ”

Li Mingyi laughed and said: "Sixth brother, what do you mean, you are still bragging to me at this time, let's make a bet now, that is, I will stay and destroy this military camp, and it is difficult to say who will kill in front of Duwa first!" If you lose, you have to go to the big dark horse to learn how to bark a dog, do you dare? ”

"Good! I played this bet!

Little ones, listen to me, I want to take the golden tent back and dedicate it to General Zhao, roar! Rush me! ”
