Chapter 169: The sound of hooves is like thunder
Xiao Yu talked with Autumn Leaves for a long time, and it wasn't until sunset that he slowly walked out of the Dao Pavilion. Zi Shuiyang had been waiting for a long time, Xiao Yu waved his hand, and the two walked out together. Walking out of the phantom array, looking back, there are no four seasons like spring and green trees, only a barren land remains.
Xiao Yu exhaled a breath of turbid air, and as soon as he took his breath, it turned into a cloud of white mist in the cold wind.
Zi Shuiyang asked, "The eldest prince seems to have something on his mind?"
Xiao Yu nodded and admitted, "It's true that I'm a little restless, my grandfather used to say that every time there is a big event, you must have calm, and I'm still a little bit off." ”
Zi Shuiyang said with a smile: "The war on the grassland is unfavorable, it is not the crime of the eldest prince, if the forms are reversed at this time, Xu Lin can still sit in the big tent of the Chinese army and strategize?"
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "That's the reason, it's okay, don't think about it first, go back." ”
It wasn't until midnight that the two returned to the camp on the banks of the Duolun River, and then Xiao Yusheng was in the Chinese army's tent for a night.
On the second day, Min Xing, who was stationed east of the Duolun River, received a report from the scouts, and Xiao Yu's 12,000 vanguard troops actually pulled out camp overnight and marched towards the Duolun River, as if to cross the river immediately.
At this time, the Duolun River has frozen, and this place is in the depths of the grassland, the bitter cold is several times worse than that of Hanoi, freezing three feet, and the cavalry is not hindered, so there is no half-crossing attack at all.
At the same time, Min Xing also received Xu Lin's military order, and immediately raised the account to gather the generals to discuss how to deal with the menacing Xiao Yu.
Hanoi Prefecture Chief Military Officer, Deputy Marshal of the Right Route Army, Sunan was the first to speak: "Xiao Yu's move is undoubtedly to fight a head-on battle with our army, relying on the numerical advantage, to eat the 8,000 cavalry of our army, or Xiao Yu has learned that the big tent of the Chinese army is here, and wants to take the big tent of our Chinese army in one fell swoop. ”
Min Xing raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "Didn't Xiao Yu also come to the front line in person? He, the future king of the grassland, is much more valuable than me, the commander of the right army, since he, the son of a daughter, dares to go into battle, why should I be afraid?"
Min Xing paused and continued: "Besides, I still have two thousand heavy horses in my hand, although Xiao Yu has four thousand more horses, but it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose. ”
Sunan said lightly: "News came from the dark guard, Xiao Yu beheaded a Sword Sect master with his own strength, how can this kind of cultivation be self-sufficient Su Mou don't need to say more, if Xiao Yu is bent on escaping, Hugh said that it is 10,000 horses, even if it is doubled, it may not be able to stop him." ”
Min Xing didn't care and smiled, "So what? One person can defeat a million divisions? Or is he the first general in the ten thousand armies? Although the cultivation of the governor of Bendu is not as good as Xiao Yu, he is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others. ”
Sunan smiled coldly: "Since this is the case, then Su has nothing to say, it's just that Xiao Yu's army is in a hurry, whether to attack or defend, and ask the governor to make a decision as soon as possible." ”
Min Xing replied calmly: "The military order of the Grand Governor is very clear, be careful and stick to it. If Xiao Yu doesn't move, I won't move, and now that Xiao Yu is attacking, then pass on my military order, shrink the wings, and ride heavily on the armor!"
A hint of surprise flashed on Sunan's face, and he said, "Since you are guarding against it, why do you want to ride heavily and wear armor? Do you want to attack Xiao Yu head-on?"
Min Xing smiled and asked rhetorically: "I have a heavy horse in my hand, isn't the offense the best defense?"
......
The sky seemed to be before dawn, and many cavalry in Xiao Yu's military camp had already eaten breakfast, fed the horses, turned over their horses, and stood in formation.
As the horn sounded, more than 12,000 horsemen ran out of the camp and went straight to the Duolun River.
For the general, the brave, for the handsome. Xiao Yu's identity is very different now, as the commander of the three armies, he needs to control the overall situation, this time it is a deviant move to sit in the vanguard army, and it will become a big joke if he takes the lead again. Therefore, this time he did not charge into battle, but only sat in the Chinese army.
By the time the red sun rose, more than 12,000 cavalry had crossed the Dolun River without encountering the slightest obstacle.
As soon as the Duolun River fell, the residual snow gradually decreased, and it was obviously much better than the heavy snow that was going to crush people on the Wusi Plain, Xiao Yu hung the broken array on his waist, but took the bloodthirsty demon knife in Wang Dongle's hand in his hand, and said to Zi Shuiyang on the side: "Although this knife is heavy in murder, it can be mixed in quantity and quality, and it has fallen into a lower level, if it is contaminated with the blood of one celestial and ten frost runners, it can be even higher." ”
Zi Shuiyang heard the strings and knew the elegant meaning, and said with a smile: "I heard that the capital of Zhongdu Minxing is only one foot away from the realm of heaven and man. ”
Xiao Yu smiled faintly.
At this time, a horse scout came separately, until Xiao Yu turned over and dismounted ten zhang in front of him, knelt down on one knee and said: "Qiqi right phase, twenty miles ahead, the Minxing army has already set up a position and is ready to fight." ”
Xiao Yu's left hand holding the knife slowly put down, and he gave a faint order: "Explore again." ”
The scout shouted his promise, turned on his horse, and rode away.
Xiao Yu's army did not stop, all the way forward.
Since Min Xing wants to fight, then he will fight.
Xiao Yu whipped his horse's hip and took the lead.
There are constantly rangers coming to give feedback on the military situation.
There were no heavy riders in the steppe, but light riders were firmly in first place.
The guards cavalry who once followed Xiao Yu to defeat the Red Lady were as imposing as a rainbow.
Xiao Yu's face was indifferent, remembering that when he came down from Qi Mountain, he happened to pass by with 10,000 iron horsemen from Minxing, and narrowed his eyes.
Zhuge Gong hit his horse to catch up with Xiao Yu, and said softly: "Donkey, it is less than five miles away from the Minxing army. ”
A gust of wind swept by, bringing a little residual snow with it, hitting the tips of Xiao Yu's hair, staining it a little white. Xiao Yu nodded slightly, and then slammed the reins.
Xiao Yu raised his right hand, and the whole army slowly stopped.
Xiao Yu commanded: "Raise the flag." ”
A big flag with the word "Xiao" was erected by the soldiers carrying the flag, hunting in the wind.
The front is a flat river, which is most suitable for heavy cavalry charges.
Min Xing wants to use the heavy cavalry as a hammer to smash a hammer business.
After a hammer, victory and defeat are decided, and life and death are decided.
Xiao Yu looked back at the big flag behind him, holding the scabbard in his left hand and pressing his right hand on the hilt.
A bloodied scout galloped in, and before he could get within a hundred feet, his crotch mount could no longer support him, and he fell to the ground, and he also rolled off his horse, and the two soldiers quickly whipped up, helped the scout, and then rode him to Xiao Yu.
The scout gasped and struggled, "Go back to ...... Back to the right phase, Fujian line big ...... The army has already moved this way...... Into. ”
Xiao Yu nodded and motioned for him to go down and rest.
Then Xiao Yu pulled out the knife from the sheath and raised the long knife in his hand high.
The black-red blade reflects a vivid red in the red sun.
The whole army was solemn.
The fighting spirit is high.
A blackened iron rider emerged from the horizon, and in the daylight, only a dark shadow could be seen.
The sound of hooves was like thunder.
On the battlefield, within a radius of more than ten miles, there is no human population at all, and there are no birds or beasts.
Cultivators with advanced cultivation such as Xiao Yu and Zi Shuiyang can vaguely feel the strangeness of these three qis, and even the vitality in their bodies seems to be pulled by the qi and is ready to move.
Although it is the rising sun, it is like the remnant sun and blood.
The long knife in Xiao Yu's hand fell suddenly.
Under the bright red sunlight, it brings out a brilliant afterimage like blood.
