At noon on the seventh day of the first lunar month, Tian Feng led his troops to arrive at the camp, and the matter here had been dealt with, and the troops immediately set up camp.

The troops rested for a day and sent a battalion of cavalry to transport the captured supplies and prisoners back to Pingcheng. The hundred slaves who were rescued wanted to go with the troops to kill the enemy, Tian Feng saw their skinny appearance, and sternly refused, but each of them was given a war horse, chose his own handy weapons, and assisted the cavalry in managing the prisoners and livestock; And promised them that when they were well recuperated, they would choose the able-bodied to join the army.

In the afternoon, Tian Feng convened everyone to discuss the matter of attacking Danhan Mountain.

Yan Liang recounted the course of the war, and found that it was better for Wu Huanyi to take the lead from the cavalry, which could reduce the resistance of the grassland tribes, and if they encountered the Han cavalry, they would definitely resist desperately.

Everyone felt that Yan Liang's words made sense.

Tian Feng thought for a while and then ordered: "Transfer all the eight thousand cavalry to Yan Liang's command." ”

Li Su was eager to fight and applied to be a pioneer.

Tian Feng ordered Li Su to take 3,000 Yi Cong cavalry to be Yan Liang's vanguard, and Yan Liang led 5,000 Yi Cong cavalry to follow closely behind, striving to use 8,000 Yi Cong cavalry to raid Danhan Mountain.

General Tian Feng led the army to arrive later to provide support.

In order to be safe, Tian Feng divided the scout troops into two, one led by Xian Yufu and followed Li Su's actions; The first section was led by Xian Yuyin, followed Tian Feng's actions, and did vigilance work for the large army to ensure the safety of the large army; Fresh in auxiliary and fresh in silver are brothers.

Then Tian Feng gave a detailed explanation of every detail.

On the morning of the eighth day of the first lunar month, the troops set off in turn, and Yan Liang led 8,000 righteous cavalry, all carrying two days' worth of dry food, and marched lightly.

The distance from Heru to Danhan Mountain is more than 100 miles, and the planned itinerary is two days, the first day is a march of 60 miles, and the second day is a surprise attack on the morning to surround Danhan Mountain.

Li Su led the vanguard troops, and must clear the secret agents and scattered tribes of the Xianbei people along the way, and must not let go of a single person, otherwise the surprise attack plan will fail, and the Xianbei people will be prepared, and they will put up fierce resistance, increasing the difficulty of the war.

Out of the city, it will enter the vast grassland, a horse and a flat river, no hills and trees to block, the wind is stronger, the further you go to the north to march, the colder the climate, plan to march sixty miles a day, it is already very difficult.

The pressure on the scouts was even greater, not only for marching, but also for patrolling the surrounding area for dozens of miles, several times more every day; Even after the troops were encamped, they were not allowed to rest for a moment. Fortunately, they have lived in this harsh environment since they were young, and have long been accustomed to the harsh climate, and now they have changed into new cotton clothes, covered with thick sheepskin jackets, which will never cause frostbite, and they have a better diet to ensure that they have sufficient physical strength.

As early as before the Spring Festival, the scouts had found out that there were more than 40,000 people in the central Xianbei, plus slaves, with a population of more than 200,000, and nearly 50,000 elite soldiers could be organized, and if the whole people were dispatched, they could organize 80,000 troops.

Ke's tribe can pull out tens of thousands of elite soldiers, the most powerful, and other tribes can also pull out thousands to 10,000 cavalry.

The territory outside the central part of Dai County and Shanggu County was occupied by King Ke, and outside Yuyang County was the grazing land of King Queju, with more than 8,000 elite soldiers, second only to King Ke in strength; The Murong tribe was formed at the latest, and was still grazing in the farther north, but gradually absorbed and integrated other small and medium-sized Xianbei tribes, as well as the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Fuyu, Ding Ling, Han and other ethnic groups, and gradually became stronger; Other small tribes are located in the corners of the three tribes or act as a buffer between the three tribes, temporarily forming a stable situation.

Tian Feng didn't dare to be careless, if the Xianbei people were united, he would only have to defend.

This time the dispatch of 23,000 cavalry was a great risk-taking component, and every step had to be carried out according to his plan to have a great chance of victory; Fortunately, there was Cheng Li in the east to contain the other departments of Xianbei, otherwise he could only flee in embarrassment.

Tian Feng's large army, because of the baggage, marched more slowly, at night, camped five miles away from Yan Liang's camp, he did not dare to be too far away, so that he could rescue in time.

The next day, the ninth day of the first lunar month, the troops set off after dawn and continued their march.

Li Suyi was bold, not only was he not afraid, but he also smiled, taking this opportunity to be a pioneer as a good opportunity for his rise in life, and he must obtain enough military merits, at least from the military to the military Sima, or even from other departments.

The territory controlled by Gao Shun is getting bigger and bigger, and if he advances, he will be able to occupy a better position. He now regrets that he came late, if he joined Gao Shun's strength after Zhang Yang reported the situation, he would now be at least Sima of other departments, or even the position of captain.

Li Su's biggest shortcoming is that he is an official fan, and he has infinite enthusiasm for promotion, and his dream is to revive the glory of the Li family and revitalize the majesty of his ancestors.

When the border army of the Han Dynasty was killed, the Xianbei nobles were still in the gentle countryside, and they could never have predicted that the Han would choose the most unsuitable season to send troops.

By noon, the troops had marched more than 30 miles, and they were only more than 10 miles away from Danhan Mountain, and Li Su ordered the troops to stop advancing, and the soldiers to rest and eat, and feed the horses, so as to make final preparations for the afternoon battle.

The scouts were on guard around them, they had shot dozens of Xianbei people along the way, and there must have been Xianbei scouts among them; After a long time, it will definitely attract the attention of Xianbei people.

Soon, Yan Liang's troops followed, asking them to make the same preparations.

Half an hour later, the troops set off as planned.

Li Su still led 3,000 cavalry in front, all the righteous cavalry were in high morale, their faces were slightly red with excitement, and the 3,000 vanguard troops the day before yesterday easily annihilated a Xianbei tribe, and the reward was rich, making them envious.

The speed of the march of the troops was very slow, only the sound of "click" horses' hooves, and even if the thousands of cavalry slowed down, the sound of horses' hooves could still be heard far away, and this time the charge had to be started in advance.

Yan Liang's troops followed closely, and the two cavalry were only a few miles apart, and Yan Liang had already passed the information that the troops were about to launch a charge to Tian Feng so that he could prepare for support.

This time, Zhang Fei was rare and quiet, silently following Tian Feng's side, not struggling to be a pioneer, which made Tian Feng look at him with admiration.

Since Tian Feng introduced his marriage with Chu Qian, Zhang Fei has been much more honest, and has always been obsessed with it, the elf's cute little Lori is his favorite, before the marriage, Tian Feng must not be dissatisfied, so that the marriage fails.

Tian Feng received Yan Liang's message, and he was not in a hurry, but just divided the army into two groups, and ordered the three thousand cavalry to stop advancing and camp on the spot to protect the baggage; He and Ge Hu led the trapping camp and Zhang Fei led 12,000 Han cavalry to continue to advance and go to support Yan Liang.

It seems that marching in batches seems to have a taboo of fueling tactics, but Tian Feng has his considerations.

If the sneak attack is successful, it will not attract the cavalry of other tribes in Xianbei, relying on the men and horses of one tribe of Ke Max Wang, there will be more than 10,000 warriors who can fight when they are full, and they can easily win it, but I am afraid that Ke Max King will not be able to hold out, and the Han army must not fight a protracted war and a war of attrition.

In the cold winter, the consumption of materials is huge, and transportation is even more difficult.

First with 8,000 Wuhuan Yi from the cavalry to lead Ke to the greatest king to despise, will definitely lead the troops to battle, when the war is in a scorching state, the Han army suddenly kills, will be able to easily annihilate the Xianbei people, and can consume part of the Wuhuan cavalry.

In Tian Feng's impression, the Wuhuan people are also aliens, belonging to barbarians who forget their righteousness, they are not trustworthy, and they are eventually eliminated, and now they are only regarded as obedient thugs.
