The 10,000 cavalry of the Black Tooth Changzhi were quickly assembled, and after a not-so-huge oath meeting, they set out from the Great King City and headed north.

At this time, the army of the Yan Dynasty had also crossed the Shushan Mansion and penetrated deep into Liaodong.

However, compared with Changzhi, the black tooth who went north, Da Zuorong became more and more frightened, and slowly began to doubt whether it was right or wrong for him to go deep into Datang this time.

The wide concrete pavement quickened the march of the Legion, and the huge machines in the fields on both sides of the road were abandoned before they had time to clean up.

What kind of big guy is that, hundreds of war horses can't pull the slightest bit of it, which makes all the people of the Yan Dynasty can't help but sigh, sighing that the wealth of the Tang Dynasty will actually use a few pieces of steel to build such useless things.

Burn, burn if you can't take it away, you can't leave it for those Tang people anyway.

After trying to use war horses to haul tractors to no avail, Da Zuorong decisively ordered the huge machines to be burned.

Of course, smashing everything is not the ultimate goal of the Tatar people, they also need to replenish their supplies along the way, so the manors of those wealthy families have naturally become the object of their robbery.

However, fortunately, the people of these families were also considered to be knowledgeable, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they all hid in the city, so except for the manor being burned down and some food and money were lost, no one was harmed.

But despite this, they were still very angry, thinking that the military was to blame for all this for not protecting them, so these people kept sending people out to ask the military for explanations, and some even ran to Li Ji's Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Li Ji didn't have any way to do this, after all, he only had a thousand days to be a thief, and there was no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, so he couldn't put the entire army on the border in order to prevent the invasion of the Tatars.

And in such a situation, Hei Tooth Changzhi took people to meet Da Zuorong.

……

Shenzhou, the Western Han Dynasty was Houcheng, subordinate to Liaodong County, after the Tang Dynasty conquered Goguryeo, Houcheng was changed to Shencheng.

Hunhe, of course, this is the name of later generations, there was no such name in the Tang Dynasty, no, it should be said that in the Tang Dynasty this river did not have a name at all, and some were just a general name similar to 'a river'.

And it was such a nameless river, but at noon in the bright sun it ushered in his first wave of guests, 10,000 Tang cavalry led by Hei Tooth Changzhi.

At this time, the Tang cavalry had all completed the change, whether it was the sword in their hands or the armor on their bodies, even the crossbows they carried had been replaced by new-style repeaters.

As for heavy weapons, not to mention, the repeating bed crossbow is a must-have equipment, and the bazooka and Zhenguan cannon are also equipped, but there are not many of these heavy equipment, and then there are a lot of improved iron pineapples, and some auxiliary equipment, such as four-legged nails and the like.

"Bang la la......" the sound of horses' hooves.

A fast horse galloped north, and after a short time, he fell in front of the black tooth Chang who was looking at the river in a daze.

"General, the movements of the Tatar people have been discovered, and they are now stationed in Xuansu City, a hundred miles upstream, and it seems that they have no intention of attacking the south again."

"Probe!" Blacktooth's gaze remained on the river, and he commanded the scout with an expressionless face.

"Yes!" The scout didn't show any impatience, and he was about to leave with a promise, but at this moment, Blacktooth Tsuneyuki suddenly stopped him: "Wait! ”

"What does the general command?"

"Don't just stare at their big camp, but also pay attention to their consumption of grain and grass, 100,000 cavalry is not a small number, and the consumption of grain and grass must be a lot. In addition, send someone to inquire about the water pattern of this river, and say hello and report it quickly. ”

"Yes!" The scout waited a little longer, and when he saw that he didn't seem to have anything else to order, he got on his horse and left.

"General, are we going to move on?" Seeing that the scout had left, the adjutant general looked at the black tooth Changzhi with some concern and asked.

The distance between the two armies was a hundred miles, which was only a small half a day's journey for the cavalry, and if the Tang army moved forward again and continued to shorten this distance, then it was very likely that they would be attacked by the Tatars when they camped at night.

You must know that the current Tang army can go through hundreds of miles of attack, and it is already sleepy and tired, if it is immediately put into battle, even if it is well-equipped, it will suffer a big loss in the face of the Tatar people who are waiting for work.

However, since the deputy general can realize this, it is natural that Heiya Tsuneyuki will also think of this.

So he didn't immediately answer the lieutenant's question, but just pointed to the river and said, "Look at the river, do you see any problems?" ”

"River? Issue? The adjutant was stunned, not realizing that there was any necessary connection between whether or not to continue the march and the river.

But the black tooth Changzhi didn't say anything more, just pointed to the river and said, "Take a closer look! ”

Just look at it, the deputy general looked at the river a little helplessly, and after a while, he shook his head and said: "General, the last general can't see anything, there seems to be nothing wrong with this river!" ”

"Hehe......" Hei Tooth Changzhi smiled, patted the lieutenant on the shoulder and said, "Didn't you notice that the water level of this river is too low?" ”

"The water level is too low?" The adjutant general looked at it again and found that there was indeed a slightly damp position about a zhang wide on the river bank on both sides, so he said to Heizhi Changzhi with some uncertainty: "General, this, this should be the low tide, right?" ”

"It does seem like it's a low tide, but you haven't looked closely enough." Tsuneyuki pointed to the river bank at his feet, and then said, "Look at the distance between those reeds and the water!" ”

"Four zhang or so," the lieutenant general estimated, and then replied.

"If the tide of the river recedes only one zhang away, then why are there no reeds in the remaining three zhang embankment? It can't be that those reeds are afraid that the water is poisonous, right? And if you look at the banks of the river, and a little farther away, is it all like this? ”

With the reminder of Hei Yan Changzhi, the adjutant general's face became extremely ugly, obviously he had realized something, and said urgently in the corner of his eye: "General, is this an ambush?" Is it a trap for us to be high? They deliberately cut off part of the water upstream and waited for us to set up camp......"

Speaking of this, the adjutant general couldn't help but be scared for a while, obviously realizing that his guess was correct.

"Now you know why I'm letting you see the river, right?" Seeing that the deputy general had realized something, Hei Tooth Changzhi left the river with a smile, and said lightly: "Since someone wants us to camp here, then we will camp here, it is rare to meet someone who understands the art of war, and it seems that it is not bad for everyone to compete." ”
