Wu Nian led the soldiers and headed southwest. At about the same time, a place near the water source was chosen and set up camp.

Normally, soldiers will be dispatched to carry out guard duties such as standing guard and patrolling. He also sent a firehead army to bury the pot and make rice.

Looks normal.

Soon it was getting dark.

Inside the big tent of the Chinese army. Brightly lit.

Wu Nian, wearing a black brocade robe with narrow sleeves, sat in front of the campfire, eating a hodgepodge with the three thousand households.

"Two hours. Tell the soldiers that we only have two hours to rest. Two hours later, the camp was opened and headed to the pastures in the northeast. ”

Wu Nian and the four of them finished the hodgepodge in the iron pot.

Wu Nian took out a handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and looked up and said.

"Yes."

The three thousand households didn't say a word, hugged their fists in response, and turned to go down.

Wu Nian stood up and rinsed his mouth, without even washing his face, he directly took off his boots, got into the bed, and began to fall asleep.

Two hours later. Wu Nian was woken up by his own soldiers, put on his armor, turned over his horse, and led the elite soldiers to clean up the camp, leaving an empty camp, quietly leaving the camp, and heading to the Mengyuan Ranch in the northeast.

"Don't make a lot of noise. If anyone has a tummy, they pull in their crotch. If anyone is not feeling well, get in the big car. ”

The army marched fast, and the officers whispered from time to time.

Inside a horse-drawn carriage.

The beggars lay in a mess and fell asleep. Lu Yanxun sat cross-legged, with a thoughtful look on his little face.

"Sound from east to west? Soldiers' speed? ”

He has a lot of brains, and he hopes that when he grows up, he will be a military general like Wu Nian, and now he is fighting with the army, as if he is a sponge, quickly absorbing experience, and starting to think about it himself.

...........

Liu Shanyang, Liu Fuguang, Li Guanyun and other eight commanders rushed to the Xiaoshan camp day and night, wanting to hold the granary.

Time.

Pressed for time.

If they use the same speed as Wu Nian, they will go to the Xiaoshan camp. The front and rear feet arrive, and there is no time to organize the defense.

Caught off guard, they did not have the confidence to hold the Xiaoshan camp.

When night fell, Wu Nian set up camp. They were still marching, and the soldiers were tired, but they were able to hold on.

Mengyuan soldiers, strong and strong, over mountains and mountains like walking on flat ground.

After walking for three hours, Liu Shanyang felt that it was almost over. nor encamped. The soldiers were ordered to light bonfires, wrap blankets, and roast the fire to rest.

Eight Mongol commanders, gathered around a huge bonfire. While nibbling on dry food, he spoke.

"It's still two days away from Xiaoshan Daying. At our current marching pace, we will be able to reach the Xiaoshan camp tomorrow afternoon. ”

"Wu Nian will be the evening of the day after tomorrow at the earliest. The day after tomorrow, he will be able to attack. ”

"We have almost two days to prepare for the defense. There are 7,000 soldiers, and they will definitely be able to hold the camp of Xiaoshan. ”

Liu Shanyang raised his head, and the essence in the tiger's eyes was shining, which was not only full of confidence, but also inspired morale.

"That's right. We will definitely be able to hold the camp of Xiaoshan. The rest of the commanders also nodded heavily.

After resting for two and a half hours, they let the fireheads get up and bury the pot to cook. The sky was bright, and the eight commanders ordered the sleepy soldiers to get up and continue the rapid march to the Xiaoshan camp.

Until noon.

The Mengyuan soldiers were still marching in a hurry, but every soldier was out of breath and their faces were ugly.

Fatigue and lack of sleep have taken a toll on their spirits.

The commanders rode horses, but there was no big problem, and they were very spirited.

"Da Da Da !!!"

A fast horse came after him from behind. Liu Shanyang glanced back and saw that it was his own spies. It should be reported on Wu Nian's itinerary.

He didn't take it seriously, according to the distance. Wu Nian should be at least three hours behind them by now.

But soon, Liu Shanyang's heart "chuckled", and a bad premonition quickly emerged.

The spy's face was pale and full of fear.

"What's going on?" Liu Shanyang asked.

"Your Excellency. Big things are not good. Wu Nian turned around last night and went northeast. Leave an empty camp. The spies reported in fear.

"What did you say?" Liu Shanyang's eyes widened and he looked at the spy in disbelief.

"Hit the !!!"

Liu Shanyang immediately closed his eyes. The most important places in this area are pastures and granaries.

Pasture is a secondary target.

The granary is the key target.

The food in the granary is for the pure distance that confronts the bear without self in front of it. If the granary was burned down by Wu Nian, it would affect the national war duel between Chu and Meng Yuan.

Wu Nian sent troops to the southwest, he didn't think much about it, he felt that Wu Nian was going to use a knife against the Xiaoshan camp.

But it turned out.

Wu Nian didn't want food, but wanted war horses.

Doesn't he care about the national war duel between Chu and Meng Yuan?

"Stop. Stop it. Send for the commanders to be gathered. Not long after, Liu Shanyang opened his eyes, his face turned pale, and he shouted.

Not long after, the remaining seven commanders of Mengyuan gathered over, and when they heard the news, they immediately exploded.

"Wu Nian, this guy. Was the real purpose turned out to be ranching? ”

"Damn it. Although the ranch was lost, it did not have much impact on the national war. But it strengthened Wu Nian's cavalry. ”

"What are we going to do? Is it to rescue the ranch immediately? Or go back to the Xiaoshan camp and guard the granary? ”

"The pasture and the granary are in the opposite direction. The distance between us and him is getting farther and farther, and we can't catch up. ”

"But if we lose the pasture, even if we keep the granary, we will be guilty of a big crime."

The eight Mengyuan commanders have completely collapsed. Babbling, I want this, he wants that, but no matter what, it seems that there is a dead end ahead.

..............

Three days later.

Midday.

In the cold wind, Wu Nian led his soldiers to the pasture.

It is a large pasture standing on flat ground, and the outer perimeter is like a camp, with a wooden wall. There was a sign hanging on the camp gate.

"Joan Yong Ranch."

According to Wu Nian's knowledge. This ranch is inconspicuous in the whole Mengyuan, but it is the largest ranch in this area, and there are exactly how many war horses there are.

Wu Nian is unknown.

However, it can provide a large number of high-quality war horses to the Mengyuan court every year. Originally, in this Qiongyong Ranch, there were two commanders who led the soldiers to defend it.

Now those two commanders of Meng Yuan may have died in the battle.

[Yanhan] under the banner. Wu Nian straddled the jujube red horse and looked up at Qiongyong Ranch. The gates of the camp were closed, and there were a few poor soldiers, who were on guard.

The nervousness of the Mengyuan soldiers was visible to the naked eye.

Wu Nian looked forward to it.

"How many horses are there? Is there 10,000 horses? If there were 10,000 horses, it would have been issued. ”

"Directly fill Feng Chong's cavalry establishment and set up the first Wanhu Army composed entirely of cavalry."
