This one...... It's a mobilization meeting, but at this point, there's basically nothing to say.

Lao Luo broke everything the same and said, no matter how bottomless people in their hearts are, they will understand the comparison of the combat power of the enemy and us, as for retreating...... Where to retreat? Don't talk nonsense! Since there is no advance or retreat, let's fight!

"The Turks are the wolves of the steppe, the Qarluqs are the jackals at both ends of the first rat, and the Dangxiang people are the wild dogs that are not well raised! Since there is no other way, let's fight! "Lao Luo's future father-in-law, Li Ni, who has always been amiable, also spoke.

He rarely speaks at such meetings, perhaps because his daughter wants to marry him, an elder surnamed Luo, and has some thoughts of avoiding suspicion. Lao Luo guessed.

Seeing that everyone no longer had any doubts, Lao Luo Huoran stood up, "Tonight, I will lead the team to Hara Pass in advance, the cavalry academy will walk with me, the garrison battalion will stay in the rear, Cheng Shou is like you want to guard against the enemy's sneak attack from the south of the river valley, although this possibility is very small." For the rest of the private affairs, I hope you will pay more attention! ”

"Commanding the General!" Several soldiers also stood up and bowed in military salute and shouted loudly.

"General Luo, please rest assured!" Infected by the emotions of several soldiers, the private stewards also had serious expressions.

The Hala Pass is the most suitable passage for the Ili River Valley to move north through the western foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, and not far north of the pass is the famous Sailim Lake, the alpine environmental protection area that once hosted cycling events. Although it was possible to march eastward through the mountain passes, it was not suitable for the cavalry of the brigade to advance through, let alone for the bulky side vans and huge floating car skins.

Lao Luo was not worried that the enemy would ambush the Hala Pass, because the Turks, Qarluqs, and Dangxiang were all mainly steppe cavalry, and there was no news or information to prove that they had good mountain warriors. But everything must be prepared, if the enemy jams the Hala Pass and occupies a favorable terrain, it will block the eastward route of the troops, and the people will panic, and the war will inevitably fall into passivity.

Passive waiting is not Lao Luo's character, since he already knows the existence of the enemy, looking for the enemy to take the initiative is his style. The enemy has a large number of troops, and they are not subordinate to each other, and there must be gaps to be found during the period, so he can apply the squad interspersed combat mode commonly used in later generations, but there are no assault vehicles and helicopters in this era, but he has an elite cavalry brigade of thousands of people under his command.

Now that the policy has been decided, there is no restraint, for Lao Luo, action is a matter of command.

After nightfall, the camp high in the valley fell silent, and by the faint light of the towering crescent moon, thousands of horses and knights began their way north.

"General, are the party members very powerful?" Gonzas, who had not yet seen the official Eastern cavalry, was a little uncertain, and the emotions of the private supervisors during the day gave him great doubts.

Sitting calmly on the back of the black cloud, and then the hazy moonlight, Lao Luo could even see Gonzas's confused expression, "No, they are nothing powerful, the expressions of the people you see during the day, they are just frightened by the number of enemies." Actually, it's nothing, when the Romans faced the barbarians in the north, it is said that Caesar met the barbarians all over the mountains, and who won the result? ”

"But we don't have as many troops as the Romans at that time...... "Having fought the Romans as a Thracian warrior and being a regular in the Colosseum, Gonzhas certainly knew what Lao Luo was talking about.

Because of its civilization and wealth, Rome was invaded by the three northern barbarian tribes - the Cimbri, Teutons and Ambuon, and also fought against the Carthaginians in North Africa, the Mediterranean and Sicily, all of which defeated the enemy with superior weapons and supplies.

"But our eyes see farther than theirs, our horses are stronger than theirs, our weapons are sharper than theirs, and our warriors are sharper than theirs...... Isn't it? Lao Luo's voice was not low, enough for people twenty meters in front and behind to hear it clearly, even if there was the sound of horses' hooves on the ground as a background.

He did it on purpose, on the one hand, to boost morale, and on the other hand, to unite people's hearts. It is easy to cause confusion due to certain noises during the night march, but fortunately, the food chain on this side of the Tianshan Mountains is not abundant, and there are not as many animal species as in the tropical or warm temperate zones, otherwise the presence of poisonous snakes alone is enough to affect the progress of the troops.

The cavalry of thousands of people marched forward, even if it was deliberately quiet, the momentum was difficult to hide, and there was no trace of the wild beasts that infested the mountains and forests and the occasional wolves, and the howls that came out faintly came into the ears.

"They...... How are the party members compared to the Turks? Gonzhas asked.

"The level is about the same, it is estimated that in addition to the cavalry, there are some heavy infantry in the party, and it is impossible for them to wear armor." Iron armor was a rarity in the steppe at this time, and it had been proved in the battles of the Turks before, and the Dangxiang people may have inherited objects from the Tang Dynasty or other dynasties in the past, but they also belonged to the nomadic tribes and were good at smelting? There has never been any confirmation of this.

"Don't worry, don't be blinded by the numbers, although there are many enemies, we are knives, they are barbecue, it all depends on how to eat!" Seeing that Gonzhas was silent, Lao Luo said casually, and then patted the neck of the black cloud, and the steps of the big black cloud rumbled and accelerated.

To the north of the Hala Pass, along the shore of Lake Sailim and continuing to the north and east, is a large open belt with little undulations, flanked by the white snow-capped peaks of the peaks, and Alke and Min Wenhou waited at the bottom of a mountain pass with more than 100 men, and after running for most of the day, they finally stopped at a place about thirty or fifty miles northeast of Sailim.

"How long has the guy who went to the top of the mountain stay?" Alke asked Min Wenhou beside him. The word man was brought by Lao Luo, and the guys around him have learned to speak like this, along with the people in the original Tang camp, you must know that they originally called so-and-so Lang or the like, or called him by his name like the Central Asians, but now they are called brothers, buddies, guys, boys, and the like.

"It's been more than an hour since that kid from Mi Bonan brought his people, I'll go and ask someone to replace them." Min Wenhou responded.

It is said to be the top of the mountain, but it is actually a small mound that is slightly higher, and the forest is quite lush in the vicinity, so it is a more suitable hiding place. Scattered around the area were the warriors of the scout camp—for two or three thousand paces behind the mound was a Turkic camp.

"Don't go, call your men." Alke hurriedly stopped the idle partner, "Sit down, eat something first, we need to discuss who to send to report back to the general!" ”

"Okay, Tian Erlang, you go and ask someone to replace Mi Bonan, and then ask the people on the periphery to take turns to rest, hurry up and eat if you are hungry, and report any news! Pay attention to the enemy's meticulous work, and kill those who dare to get close, and grab two more tongues if you can! "Min Wenhou is the lieutenant of the scout camp, that is, Alke's deputy, and now he is close to the east, and the Orientals who were originally pulled to the scout camp under his command are more suitable for this environment, so the people sent out are basically Han Chinese.

"Well, then, monkey, this is the jerky that Miana stuffed into me during the day, and the food she makes is very delicious." Alke put down the parchment notebook in his hand, took out a bag of food wrapped in oilcloth from the saddlebag on the horse's back, threw it to Min Wenhou, and then took out a bag of mare's milk wine.

"Ouch, it's heavy...... It tastes really good! He opened the tarpaulin, tore off a piece of jerky and stuffed it into his mouth, and muttered half-vaguely, "I said, why did that little lady Miyana take a fancy to your white eyes?" Like a ghost at night and not afraid? ”

"What's wrong with me? I'm the best guy in the scout camp, hey, what's the hell? Alke didn't care about Min Wenhou's ridicule, since he looked at the Central Asian girl Miana, he was teased by familiar guys, he was already immune, as for the white circles, it was a habit passed down from his ancestors, and he couldn't change it, but the word "ghost" said by the other party made him very interested.

"Oooh...... It seems that the Lord said once, in your words, is it Sancti, or is it Ghost? I can't tell, it's a horrible thing anyway. Continue to eat jerky, Min Wenhou is not welcome, he came out in a hurry in the afternoon, only loaded with the military rations, and the old lady at home didn't care about the things she wanted to bring, "Hey, you dare to drink?" Aren't you afraid to be punished? ”

"Just a little, just a little, this wine is not intoxicating, the general said that he is not afraid of drinking, but if he dares to make a mistake, he will cut off his head, I remember." Alke hurriedly explained that when he came out of the gladiatorial arena, he was not afraid of anything else, and the only person he was afraid of was Lao Luo, and even he himself couldn't tell why.

"Although the general often has a cold face, I have never seen him get angry for no reason, even if the rules are stricter, it is not so terrible, right?" Min Wenhou was a little puzzled, in fact, he was also afraid, because it was enough for people with cold faces not to get angry enough, not to mention the power when they were angry, but he knew that Lao Luo was angry twice, and two people (Pei Sihai and Li Lian) were broken limbs, and those two people were in this team, no matter which one of them was more noble than him.

"The Lord is not terrible, just ...... He rescued us from the gladiator school and gave us a chance to live, and no one wanted to be sorry for him. Alker thought about it carefully, and he could only say that, in fact, there were many nobles who could save these gladiators from them, but there was only one who could make him grateful and respectful, this was not clear.

"Hey! Since the Lord tossed Cheng Gate honestly, I have been convinced, that guy is not the most thing, looking bold, in fact, it is wilted, hum! "Min Wenhou is not saying bad things behind his back, he and Cheng Shouru are actually like brothers, but they grew up together, and he was bullied a lot because of his thin body, someone can subdue that guy, he doesn't know how cool it is.

In fact, they both know that the place of the battle is behind the dirt slope, and the time is not long after, with the temper of their own general, they will never spare the enemy who dares to come to block the road, and they will not spare their own group of guys who work hard to cut people, after a big battle, they will definitely cut off a few knives and stab a few spears, and now I am afraid that it is the last moment of rest, and after the news comes out, I am afraid that there will be no rest for many days.

"Report, lieutenant, lieutenant, Mi Bonan has returned from a change of guard!" A low voice rang out behind the two of them.

"Sit, Bernan, and talk about it while you eat." Min Wenhou arranged very casually, this Mi Bonan is a good bow hunter, originally the commander of the garrison camp, and he was the person he dug from Cheng Shouru's men, so he was not less beaten by the man with the door panel.

"Good ......" Mi Bonan was not polite, sat down on the spot, grabbed the barbecue with one hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and with the other hand, he grabbed the water bladder that was still half left from his waist and poured a mouthful, "The Turks in the north have not moved, those lazy people have been eating and shouting for a long time, and now they have just looked at the stop point, it is estimated that they have slept, and their guards are not strict, far worse than our camp." ”

"Well, is it hard to see where their main account is? During the day, people are noisy and can't tell the difference. Min Wenhou asked.

"This should be a thousand-long camp, the bonfire is lit at night, and the main tent should be in the middle of the back......" Swallowing the roast meat in his mouth, Mi Bonan replied seriously.

"During the day, I checked all the tents that could be approached nearby, and the total number here was about twenty-three camps, and the distance between each two camps was about a thousand paces, and the camp closest to the center was the largest, estimated at five thousand people, which means that the Turks probably came nearly 30,000 people, and the other Qarluqs were even less, with 20,000 people, and the party was the largest, at least 40,000 people...... In total, it should be close to 100,000 people! Alc, who had almost eaten himself, took out his parchment notebook and said as he observed it by the moonlight, not at all shying away from his men.

"Mother, so many people! Cutting off the head is enough for us to cut it for two days. Mi Bonan didn't mean to be scared at all, but grinned widely.

"Good brother, bold enough!" Min Wenhou directly praised Mi Bonan.

"What is this, the general is powerful, and he took the brothers of the cavalry school to cut off the heads of 20,000 people in one night!" Mi Bonan was not humble either, and said casually.

He was talking about the raid that Lao Luo led his people on the night of the Hari River, which is now known to almost everyone in the eastbound team.

"What? Still want to go to a cavalry school? You give me the honesty to stay in the scout camp, we are the front line, there are many opportunities for meritorious service, and there are many opportunities to cut off people's heads! Min Wenhou didn't want to listen to it, this Mi Bonan was snatched from Cheng Shouru's men with great difficulty, where would he be allowed to jump ship casually, let alone jump to the white bear Gangzas.

"Hey, lieutenant, I'm just talking about it." Mi Bonan's mouth is not in vain, and if he pleases him, he will come when he opens his mouth.

"You have to remember, this is what you say, manly words count! What's more, I didn't speak, and the white bear didn't dare to accept you casually! After speaking, Min Wenhou still clenched his small fist and waved.

"Okay, monkey, I think the person who sent back to deliver the letter is Miqu has grown, anyway, it's not far, and the road is familiar." Alc listened to the two of them joke, stuffed a roll of parchment paper in his hand into a bamboo tube, and poured hot wax oil on it and sealed it with a lead seal.

"Cheng, this guy has good eyes and good archery skills, it's enough to take ten people back to report the news." The person who went to report the news asked to be alert and bold, and this Mi Bonan in front of him was indeed very suitable, and Min Wenhou agreed.

In the distance there were a few lone wolf whimpers, and farther away, there were the great camps of the Turks, scattered scattered across the open wilderness, with a little bonfires in the background, looking at the whole land that seemed to cover the northeast.
