That guy's expression was also so embarrassed, that guy had also secretly glanced at her like this, whether it was on the wetland side of the academy, or on the red sleeve move, or on the shore of the blue lake in Yanbei, his gaze often swept over the curve of her chest, waist, hips and legs, he thought she didn't know, but in fact she knew everything, but she was embarrassed to say.

The person Situ Yilan remembered was naturally Ning Que, she was not facing a desperate situation, she suddenly recalled her past youth, and began to think about spring, but just wanted to gain some kind of strength from it, and the veterans in the camp were very similar to Ning Que, they all had unimaginable tenacity and could do things that many people couldn't imagine.

It's just that what makes her a little sad is that in the depths of the indifferent expressions of those veterans, there is still unwillingness, especially when they see the war horse led by her own soldiers, the envy and unhappiness in their eyes are clearly visible.

yes, that's still the problem.

Situ Yilan lowered his head and thought, when the imperial court negotiated with the Xiling Temple, why did they agree to cede Xiang Wanyuan to the Golden Horde Royal Court, and why did they agree to use war horses to compensate the Golden Horde and Yan Kingdom? Yes, the situation at that time was indeed very serious, but didn't the imperial court know that if it agreed to the other party's conditions, it would be tantamount to suicide?

The black noose, which had been slowly descending in the air for several years, had finally landed on the grassland, in front of every soldier of the Zhenbei Army.

Even the people of Chang'an knew about it, and those ministers in the court naturally knew that Prince Li Peiyan even hanged himself because of this matter, Situ Yilan knew very well that this was the decision of the academy.

To be more precise, this is all Ning Que's decision.

Why did the college agree?

Walk to the tent. Looking at the man and a woman at the table, Situ Yilan's feelings were a little weird, she was a student of the academy, these two people could really represent the academy, thinking about her previous dissatisfaction with the academy, she didn't know what to say.

The pale yellow dress that Mu Yu is most accustomed to wearing has long been replaced by practical cotton clothes, and the sixth senior brother is still wearing his upper body like when he was in the mountain behind the academy, wearing only a leather scarf.

Situ Yilan couldn't say anything bad about these two college gentlemen, because in these days. They should be sitting on the clouds like immortals. Live and fight like a normal soldier.

The form of war has long changed, and the assassination of the enemy's main general by the strong cultivators has never been cut off and has been staged. If it weren't for the Muyu Formation Division. Several subtle formations were laid out in the camp. If it weren't for Mr. Six wielding wind and thunder with a hammer, I don't know how many Tang would have died under the assassination of the Golden Horde at any cost, and Mr. Six stayed up all night repairing the weapons of the Tang army. Those things don't need to be talked about.

Situ Yilan found that there was one person missing from the tent and asked, "Where did Mr. Fourth go?"

Fan Yue, the fourth gentleman of the academy, is now the think tank of the Zhenbei Army, and General Hua Ying has great trust in him, and everything that should be deployed to the battalion and even the planning on the battlefield is from him.

Mu Yu took out the towel from the basin and wrung it until it was slightly dry, walked up to her, wiped all the dust off her face, and said pityingly, "Whatever he went...... Such a beautiful little girl, although she can't dress up, she has to clean it up. ”

Situ Yilan was in the mood to pay attention to her face, she couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard the words, and when she remembered the formation of the Golden Horde Court she had seen on the meadow before, her mood returned to a heavy heart, and she looked at Mu Yu and asked in a low voice: "When will Mr. Three make a move?" When will the strong and desolate people of Mingzong arrive?"

The current battle situation was extremely beneficial to the Zhenbei Army, and she couldn't think of changes, but General Xu Chi was still so calm, she naturally thought that the academy must have arranged a lot of backhands and strong hands.

Setting up the formation for many days and nights, Mu Yu's eyebrows and eyes were full of exhaustion, listening to Situ Yilan's words, she was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know the whereabouts of my senior sister either. ”

Hearing this, Situ Yilan was disappointed and confused.

"It stands to reason or the original plan, in the early spring, she should have pacified the Eastern Wilderness and come here...... She should have made a move, but she didn't make a move at this time, or because it wasn't time yet, for her own reasons. ”

Mu Yu sat down with her, asked her to eat breakfast quickly, and comforted her.

......

......

For the military, common sense is the objective judgment of victory and defeat and the calm response that comes with it.

Hua Ying stood outside the camp tent, looking at the bloody morning glow, looking at the countless tents of the Golden Horde Court faintly visible in the distance, and always felt that the general's response was unreasonable, so what was the reason?

A staff officer handed him a pair of binoculars.

He took the binoculars, looked in the direction of the Golden Horde's court, and then looked to the east and north, dozens of miles away, and observed in silence for a long time, but never said a word.

The telescope was made by the academy, brought to the front line by Mr. Six, and now the important generals of the Zhenbei Army are almost all in hand, once the generals use it, they immediately regard it as a treasure, and refuse to let it go.

Hua Ying was very emotional, with the help of the academy, she could see the movement of troops in the Golden Horde Court clearly, but the other party was unaware of it, if it was placed back then, the Zhenbei Army would undoubtedly win this war.

Especially now, Shan Yu risked his life and urged the whole clan to attack south, he wanted to fight a battle to destroy the country, but he didn't care about any back road at all, and the marching array was unparalleled, but in the eyes of mature Tang generals, it was also full of loopholes, as long as he could send a strong cavalry, he would definitely be able to fight the other party.

"What if...... Give me 10,000 ...... No, even eight thousand. ”

Hua Ying put down the binoculars, looked at the north, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Give me 8,000 good horses, and I can guard the Guhe River, and even drive them to the north of Weicheng." ”

Shan Yu's choice was too confident, in Hua Ying's opinion, this was too good an opportunity, so his voice trembled slightly, and losing this opportunity seemed to him unbearable pain.

Xu Chi firmly believed that the Zhenbei army could defeat the cavalry of the Golden Horde in the field, which made Hua Ying very puzzled, he would not question the military order, but thought bitterly, it would be good if he could have 10,000 more war horses.

But that won't happen.

Even if Haotian reappeared in the world, there would be no way to do it in such a short period of time. Conjure up 10,000 mature war horses that have received military training and can become cavalry mounts for the Tang Kingdom.

The Golden Horde dared to move south, and Shan Yu's marching array was so confident and even arrogant, and he had no fear of the final decisive battle in the field tomorrow, wasn't it because he knew that there were no horses in the Tang Kingdom?

Many Tang soldiers fantasized that the imperial court would secretly raise a lot of war horses, waiting to inflict the heaviest and most sudden blow on the enemy on the final battlefield? But that was a fantasy after all, and Shan Yu would not think so.

It takes a lot of forage to raise horses, it takes stables, it takes manpower. A lot of resources are needed. With such a large number of war horses, it is impossible to be secretly raised in the states and counties of the Tang Kingdom, and they can hide the ubiquitous eyeliner of the Daomen, even if they can. Horses that were untrained and had never been on the battlefield. What's the use?

Horse. War horses, battle-hardened war horses.

Situ Yilan was thinking, and the former cavalrymen were thinking. Hua Ying was thinking, everyone was thinking, and they were all desperate and angry shouting in their hearts, why are there no horses?

You don't need a battle-hardened horse, even if it's just an ordinary horse, as long as you can move with a cavalry, whether it's a stallion of a horse, a graceful mare, a mischievous foal, a river pony, a river pony, a steppe horse, any horse!

Because there are no horses, Datang will really not work.

......

......

In the Zhenbei Army, only the great general Xu Chi still maintained his last confidence.

The curtain did not appear in this grassland, and the national teachers of the Golden Horde court and the more than ten high priests still did not come to the front line, but were in the rear, heavily protected by the steppe cavalry.

Xu Chi's confidence did not come from Yu Curtain or that Demon Sect Walking Tang, he had already received information from Helan City, the Desolate Tribe was pinned down by the Temple Cavalry from Yan Country in the Eastern Wilderness, and in a short period of time, there was no way to come to help.

This was naturally very bad news, but fortunately, dozens of days ago, he received another message, that news came from the academy, bringing the spring breeze he had been waiting for for a long time.

Countless carts had already left the town where the Beida Camp was located, transported to the rear of the Guhe River, and hidden in the baggage camp of the main force of the Zhenbei Army.

......

......

Dawn had not yet come, the moon had long since fallen asleep, a faint white floated in the east, a few dim stars remained in the night in the west, the people of the steppe had woken up, and the countless tents of the Golden Horde were full of the joyful sounds of children and the worried whispers of women, and of course the sound of scimitars and leather armor and the restless neighing of horses and the crackling of hay.

According to the practice of the steppe cavalry, no one dared to take their families with them when they set out on the expedition, but this time the Golden Horde court moved south, it was a real family, and all the men brought their wives, children and slaves.

The warriors of the Golden Horde had already finished their formation, their expressions were solemn, their eyes were resolute, and the cavalry of the tribes were also putting on leather armor and sorting their swords and arrows with the help of slaves or family members, and quickly lined up.

At this time, it was the darkest time before dawn, but the Golden Horde cavalry did not want to take advantage of the darkness to sneak attack the Tang army in the south, because the darkness was not fair to everyone, and the cavalry was too fast, but it needed a good vision, and now that the Golden Horde cavalry had an absolute advantage, they naturally would not take this risk.

The reason why they began to assemble and line up so early is based on the needs of war, and it is also the combat experience of all steppe cavalry imprinted in the blood, today must be an extremely hard long-term battle, people can rely on spiritual will to persevere, but war horses can not do it, so before entering the battlefield, the war horses must be fed well, with the most exquisite forage and even mixed with some expensive grains and beans, replenish enough water, and finally, feed salt.

All these preparations must be made two hours before the official battle, and after two hours, the Iron Horsemen of the Golden Horde will sweep away, devouring everything.

......

......

(There are some problems with the schedule of these two days, a little messy, it is very likely that the update will not be made tomorrow, if it doesn't work, it will be reported to everyone, and it will return to normal the day after tomorrow.) (To be continued......)
