In mid-October 456, Qin Dong led the Third Legion and 3,000 Iron Cavalry Guards to the small town of Galatz at the confluence of the Danube and Prut rivers, and joined the First, Fifth, Seventh, and Eighth Legions.

In the middle of October, when the autumn is high and cool, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland are fat and strong, Qin Dong chose to go north at this time on the one hand not to let Deng Zhixike recuperate, on the other hand, because in this season the war horses can eat grass anytime and anywhere, and the soldiers can drink mare's milk at any time when they gnaw on the jerky, which greatly reduces the burden of logistics, and even does not need logistics supplies, as long as the arrows are well prepared, you can carry out the expedition for a long time.

On October 16, Qin Dong convened a military operations meeting at the camp outside the small town of Galatz, which was attended by the commanders and adjutants of all regiments.

Early in the morning, Qin Dong wore a white underwear and moved outside the big tent for an hour, until he was sweating profusely, the temperature was very low in the morning, Qin Dong estimated that it was only a few degrees, and all that came out of his mouth was white vapor, and he had to move for a long time to sweat at this temperature.

After changing out of the sweaty underwear and handing it over to the guards to wash, Qin Dong changed into a clean underwear under the service of another guard, then put on a thick sheepskin jacket, and after a simple breakfast, he put on armor on his body, put on a helmet, tied a saber around his waist, and stepped on his combat boots.

When he was almost dressed, Soma, who was serving beside him, came in and said, "Qin, the time is almost up, the generals have already said the big tent of the Chinese army, just waiting for you!" ”

Soma had stayed in Pazar since she went back to persuade her father to move to Qin Dong's territory, and later Qin Dong was made the king of the Eastern Courtyard by Erak, and she followed her to Saidika. In short, wherever Qin Dong goes, she will also go. It's sticky like kraft candy, and you can't shake it off. The two have been together for a long time, and Qin Dong has also developed feelings for her, and things that are inappropriate for children naturally happened, it was on a night of thunder and lightning.......

"Got it!" Qin Dong agreed, and said, "Where is Daru going?" ”

"Here, I'm here!" The giant man Daru opened the curtain with a basket of buns and rushed in.

Qin Dong looked at Daru's appearance, and couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "You foodie, you know how to eat all day long, are you full?" When you are full, put on your armor. Take your weapons and follow me to the Chinese army's tent! ”

"Oh, I'm full, I'm going to wear armor!" Daru slurred his words, hugged a basket of buns, turned around and ran. Since Soma followed Qin Dong, Daru naturally followed, Qin Dong saw that this guy had a good body, and his martial arts were excellent, and he was extremely brave, it was too wasteful to do nothing every day, and he was idle anyway. It's better to take it with you, and let him charge into battle when necessary.

Daru is not only infinitely powerful, but also has a high level of martial arts and a very rich fighting skill. But he couldn't ride a horse, because he was more than two meters tall and had a lot of muscles all over his body. weighs more than 400 catties, and ordinary war horses really can't carry him. In order to find a suitable war horse for this guy, Qin Dong didn't know how much effort it took to get a very tall pure-blooded Arabian war horse that was barely enough for him to ride. He learned to ride a horse and was able to fight on horseback.

Qin Dong rested in the tent for a while, consumed food, and after about ten minutes, he estimated that Daru should be ready and walked out of the tent, Daru was really wearing a swarthy armor, and ran over with two large copper hammers in his hands, and the armor on his body made a loud impact sound as he ran.

When the two arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, the guards standing at the door saw that Qin Dong had arrived, and shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness the Regent has arrived-".

When Qin Dong and Daru walked into the big tent of the Chinese army one after the other, the dozen or so generals in the big tent all stood up and bowed down and saluted: "See His Royal Highness the Regent!" ”

Qin Dong passed through the generals until he walked to the main seat and sat down, and Daru stood honestly behind him with a copper hammer.

"Let's all be exempt!" Qin Dong stretched out his hand, and when the generals got up, he said: "All the officers have arrived, and the latest Third Army Corps has also arrived for two days, and now all the logistics materials have arrived, and when you go back, you will go and take all the materials of your own legions, and each army will set off for their respective attack sites after breakfast early tomorrow morning!" ”

"Yes, King!" All the generals saluted again.

Qin Dong stepped down from his seat and said as he walked: "Now let's arrange the tasks and the marching routes of each legion!" ”

The generals followed Qin Dong to the sand table, Qin Dong pointed to the position of Oman on the sand table and said: "According to the information we have received, most of the main forces of Deng Zhixik are concentrated in Oman, and there are very few Deng Zhixik troops entrenched in the area north of Dele, Zheli, your eighth army will start from Dele and go north as fast as possible to sweep away all the tribes within a radius of four hundred miles, take away all the strong men of those tribes, and each tribe will leave a team of 100 people to garrison, if you encounter Itur's men and horses, keep a distance from them, do not engage with them, If you encounter Deng Zhixike's main force, it is up to you to decide whether to fight or retreat according to the actual situation, but you must send someone to report the specific situation to this king. If you don't encounter the main force of Deng Zhixik, after you complete the mission, you will advance east and move closer to me, and keep in touch at any time! ”

Zheli salutes; "Yes, my lord, the last general understands!"

Qin Dong pointed at Boto again: "Scott, your seventh legion starts from Boto, advances rapidly to the northeast, and attacks when it encounters a tribe, mainly to capture the enemy, it is best not to cause a massacre, the slaughter is not conducive to our future rule, in the same way, take away all the strong men of the tribes you encounter, leave a hundred people in each tribe to garrison, keep in touch with the king's Chinese army, and report at least once a day!" ”

"Yes, King!"

Scott is a native of Skil, originally a captain of 10,000 people, serving under Adika, after Qin Dong reorganized the Skihl army, in order to facilitate the control of the army, some of the original main generals of Skil were retained, and let them be in high positions, Scott was one of them, serving as the commander of the Seventh Legion.

"Suhe!"

"In!" When Su He saw Qin Dong calling himself, he immediately saluted and agreed loudly.

Qin Dong pointed to Yasi on the sand table and said: "Your first legion is advancing northeast from Yasi, and your task is the same as that of the seventh and eighth legions, the purpose of our doing this is to drain Deng Zhixike's reserve force, so that his army can not get any replenishment, and he wants to send people to various places to raise food and catch strong men, which is why we want to take away the strong men of all tribes along the way, after taking away these strong men, the people who stay in the tribe are afraid that we will kill those strong men and dare not resist, And the strong men who are taken away will also worry that we will be bad for those who remain in the tribe, so they will also follow our orders to fight with us! ”

The Xiongnu Zhuangding was able to fight on horseback without even training, and was a natural warrior, which was very valuable, and he could pull up a team anytime and anywhere, as long as he met tribes along the way, the number of Qin Dong's army would grow larger and larger, while Deng Zhixike's army could not be replenished.

The generals present all heard Qin Dong's words, and they knew Qin Dong's true intention to let them do this, and Su He immediately agreed: "The last general understands what the king means!" ”

Qin Dong said to the commander of the Fifth Army Corps, Alfard: "Afald, your Fifth Army and this king are the central army, and send a regiment as the lead to cross the Danube River and advance north!" ”

"Understood, King!"

Qin Dong turned to look at the generals and gave an order again: "All legions should pay attention, if any of you find the main force of Deng Zhixike, don't fight him, after all, you only have one legion, and the troops that can be used for combat are only 10,000 people, and the other 2,000 people are auxiliary troops, according to the information we have received, the main force of Deng Zhixike is about 50,000 people, and the chance of winning against 50,000 is very small, even if you can win, I am afraid that your own casualties will be very large, It may even be casualty enough to be able to disband the formation, so if you find the main force of Deng Zhixik, you must send someone to report to this king in time, and at the same time keep your distance from Deng Zhixike, and try not to fight a decisive battle with him, so as to prevent him from breaking us all, understand? ”

Everyone shouted together: "Understood, king! ”

Qin Dong waved his hand: "Okay, this is the combat deployment, everyone go back and prepare, and set off early tomorrow morning!" ”

"The last general will retire!"

Early the next morning, the Eighth Army first set out to the northwest, followed by the Seventh Army, and finally the First Army.

A regiment of the 3rd Army defeated the 300 Deng Zhixik cavalry stationed here at Tarak and occupied the gathering place, where all the Huns were captured, and only the old men, women, and children remained unmoved.

Deng Zhixike did not deploy many men and horses in various places, his territory is not small, but the population is not much, many places are hundreds of miles away from people, there is no need to send people to garrison, Qin Dong with the Third Army is very smooth along the way, all the tribes encountered, there is no need to fight, those tribes will surrender, Qin Dong told those herdsmen, as long as they are loyal to the royal court, their sons will be fine, if these people fight bravely, not only can they get military salaries, but also may get land, cattle and sheep.

After occupying Tarak, Qin Dong stayed here for a day, and sent a small army to sweep around within a radius of two hundred miles, clearing out Deng Zhixike's forces here, and completely occupying the throne here. (To be continued......)
