Diao Chan's Luo skirt skirt is very long, and the long hem drags on the bluestone road, and when she walks, the hem is like a red cloud lingering under her feet, which makes her more and more elegant and beautiful like a heavenly fairy.

Seeing Diao Chan walking towards them, Tang Ji and Tao Huanniang blessed Diao Chan together, Tang Ji had a smile on the corner of her mouth that was almost comparable to Diao Chan, and said softly to Diao Chan: "Your Highness is on an expedition, as wives, the two of us just need to watch from afar." If there are too many little daughters, it will make His Highness have more dependents. ”

"The two princesses are really thoughtful!" The corners of his mouth maintained the smile that almost all men would be fascinated by when they saw it, Diao Chan first replied to the two of them, and then turned his gaze to the Luoyang army column that was marching in line at the end of the street, as if asking Tang Ji and Tao Huanniang, and also said to himself: "There are so many people and horses, doesn't Your Highness want to level the Huns?" ”

Diao Chan spoke out, but Tang Ji and Tao Huanniang did not respond to her.

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Diao Chan turned her head to look around again, but she didn't see Cai Yan, so she asked with a little surprise: "Why don't you see Princess Cai?" Could it be that he studied the scrolls, and even His Highness went on an expedition, but he forgot to send them away? ”

"Princess Cai will go on the expedition with Her Royal Highness!" This time, without waiting for Tang Ji to speak, Tao Huanniang on the side took Diao Chan's words and said to her: "The two of us are also quite envious, but Your Highness is on the expedition, how can you take all your family members with you, so you can only secretly envy yourself!" ”

"Oh!" Knowing that Cai Yan accompanied Liu Wei on the expedition, Diao Chan's face instantly flashed a strange look, but she quickly put this look away, smiled sweetly at Tang Ji and Tao Huanniang, and said to them: "Your Royal Highness leads the army to leave, if the two princesses are bored in the future, let people call this princess, this princess has practiced a few new dances, and she can also dance to relieve the princess's boredom!" ”

"In this way, thank Princess Anyang first!" Chao Diao Chan owed slightly, and Tang Ji smiled sweetly at her and thanked her.

Tao Huanniang on the side also nodded to Diao Chan and returned with a sweet smile.

With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Diao Chan returned the salute to the two, and then stood with them, looking at the Luoyang army that was marching out of the city in the distance.

Although the appearance is a little more beautiful than Tang Ji and Tao Huanniang, standing with the two of them, between Diao Chan's eyebrows, it is not as unconcealable as the love and joy of the two.

Diao Chan's expression was very calm, and she always had a faint smile on her pretty face, but there was a heavy grievance in her eyes as bright as a pool of water.

Wearing golden armor, leading the army to slowly march outside the city, Liu Wei left hand behind the position, walking in silver armor, heroic Guan Qing, and on his right hand, followed by the newly trained Yu Lin and Tiger Ben two well-trained Gao Shun.

Dian Wei, Guan Hai, Yu Poison and other generals, each led their own soldiers and horses, and fell far behind.

The army of three thousand tiger guards set off on the first day, and under the leadership of Tao Hu, they hurried to the Baishui River to help Zhao Yun in the starry night.

As for the five hundred dragoons led by Deng Zhan, they went out of the city first, as the vanguard of the army, opening the way for the army.

Closely following Liu Wei were the 5,000 Yulinwei who had been trained by Gao Shun and were very different from the past in terms of military appearance and internal spirit.

Riding a tall horse, the Yulin guards straightened their bodies, and their bodies bumped up and down slightly as the horses moved, making the bright red feathers on their helmets tremble.

The bright red feathers trembled slightly, like a burning fire, condensed in one place, and became a raging fire that was about to be rolled towards the Huns.

Behind the Yulin Guard were 20,000 heavy cavalry of the Luoyang Army, who were also riding tall horses, but instead of having feathers on their helmets, they were wearing red tassels.

The heavy cavalry soldiers had their swords stuck in the pouches on the sides of their horses, and they carried crossbows behind them, and on their waists hung only a slender quiver containing twenty-four feathered arrows.

The quiver of the heavy cavalry of the Luoyang army was different from that of a full-time crossbow archer, who had a flat round quiver and a large quiver capable of holding eighty feathered arrows.

Regardless of the number of arrows or the size of the quiver, the heavy cavalry cannot compare with the strong crossbowman. However, for them, the use of the crossbow is only used to buffer before charging or to encircle the enemy army after surrounding it, and it is not crucial.

Walking behind the heavy cavalry were 10,000 Pu swordsmen and 10,000 Mo swordsmen.

In the Luoyang Army, the role of heavy infantry on the battlefield is still far stronger than that of cavalry. After all, in the Central Plains, the cavalry under the command of all the heroes is only used to quickly maneuver and fight in a roundabout way, and the real battle still depends on the heavy infantry charging into battle.

Cavalry and heavy infantry fought head-on, and in general, cavalry could not afford heavy infantry chopping.

At the back of the line, there are only crossbowmen with long swords and quivers at their waists and strong crossbows behind them.

Born as a crossbowman with the simplest weapons and equipment in the Luoyang army, he has always had a sense of superiority that other arms are inferior to in the military.

They barely need to fight the enemy in close combat, they only need to pick up their crossbows, aim at the enemy who is charging at them, and pull the reeds to inflict great casualties on the enemy.

50,000 horses, under the guidance of Liu Wei, slowly drove along the street towards the city gate.

Many of the people of the city followed the side of the procession, marching towards the city gate in a large group, mixed with many relatives of the soldiers who went on the expedition.

Those women who married the soldiers of the Luoyang Army, followed closely behind their husbands, and every few steps, they would tell their beloved not to freeze or starve on the battlefield, and to go home with the army.

There were also some old men and old women, who also followed behind the team. They came to send their son, who was about to go to the battlefield to fight the Huns.

Although the son goes to the battlefield, the parents are inevitably worried, but the old men and women who send the team out of the city are full of pride on their faces.

Today's Luoyang Army, in the minds of the people, has long been unprecedentedly high, if anyone has a son who is a soldier, or once served as a soldier in the Luoyang Army, just because of disability and left the army, in front of the neighbors, are very dignified.

When he was about to arrive at the gate of the city, Liu Wei saw Xu Shu, Pang Tong and a group of Luoyang officials from a distance, who were already waiting there to practice for the army.

Seeing Xu Shu and the others, Liu Wei gently clamped his legs on the horse's belly, urging the war horse to go faster and run towards the people who saw them off.

"Your Highness!" Seeing Liu Wei running towards them, the people waiting outside the city gate hurriedly stepped forward, lined up in several columns according to the size of their official positions, and bowed to Liu Wei with their fists in unison, and made a big salute.

"Excuse me!" Riding on horseback, Liu Wei raised his hand to everyone, then raised his fists, arched at them and said: "This king is not in Luoyang, all affairs must be taken care of by everyone, everyone has worked hard!" ”

"I can't wait for Your Highness to be by your side, Your Highness should be careful in everything!" After thanking Liu Wei, Pang Tong, who was standing beside Xu Shu, held his fists, looked up at Liu Wei, and said to him: "The Huns were born in the north all the year round, the people are fierce, and they have been playing on horseback since childhood. ”

Looking down at Pang Tong, Liu Wei said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, this time this king will go to the Huns' lair!" ”

Liu Wei led the army, and at the same time as he was about to leave Luoyang City, on the south bank of Baishui, a cavalry of the Luoyang Army, which had only five or six hundred people, was escorting a huge grain transportation team composed of five or six thousand people, slowly advancing towards the Baishui River.

Leading this team was Han Xian, who was responsible for transporting grain and grass.

Zhao Yun led the army, defeated the Xiongnu, and had already crossed the river, and Han Xian was left behind by the main force of the army for dozens of miles because he had to supervise grain in the rear.

The sun has climbed up three poles, and the warm sunlight shining on people's bodies will not make people feel very comfortable, but will make people feel a little inexplicably hot.

Looking at the Baishui River in the distance like a thin silver line across the earth, Han Xian raised his arm, wiped his forehead with his sleeve, squinted his eyes slightly, and shouted to the hundreds of heavy cavalry and thousands of people of the Luoyang Army who followed behind: "Hurry up, I will wait to cross the river today, and I should be able to catch up with the army at night!" ”

They had already seen a silver belt in front of them, and the people who were transporting grain and grass heard Han Xian say that they should be able to catch up with the army at night, and they suddenly felt that they were full of strength, and when they drove the mules and horses, they had to sell a little more strength than before.

Five or six hundred cavalrymen of the Luoyang Army, armed with strong crossbows and swords on the side of their horses, walked on both sides of the team, and the eyes of all of them looked around vigilantly.

The nearby wilderness was so quiet that not even a single bird flew over the heads of the people.

has been following Liu Wei all the year round, and every Luoyang army present is a warrior who has crawled out of the pile of dead people. He also has a keen intuition about all kinds of weird atmospheres on the battlefield.

Intuition told these hundreds of Luoyang army cavalry that the wilderness in front of them was not as calm as they imagined, and there must be something hidden in it.

But when you look around, there is no figure in the open wilderness, and it doesn't look like someone is lying in ambush nearby.

Like the hundreds of Luoyang Army soldiers who escorted grain and grass, Han Xian, who led this team, also got closer to the Baishui River, the more he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

While riding a horse towards the Baishui River, Han Xian looked around vigilantly.

The Baishui River in his field of vision was getting wider and wider, and seeing that he had traveled to a distance of more than a hundred steps from the Baishui River, Han Xian suddenly reined in his war horse and raised one arm high.

The hundreds of Luoyang soldiers who followed him, seeing him raise his arm, hurriedly picked up the crossbow in his hand, and turned their heads to look around one by one.

Thousands of people who drove mules and horses to help the army escort grain and grass saw that the Luoyang army cavalry on the side all raised their crossbows, and they all stopped, looking around with panicked expressions and the surrounding Luoyang army.
