The twenty-fifth year of the Heavenly Sage, spring.

It has been three months since Yunzhou County received the holy decree from Bianjing.

At the beginning of March, the temperature in Yunzhou County began to warm up, and the snow on the roads melted, which also meant that it was time for the 10,000 Ping Japanese army to set off.

Three months, although it is not very common, is more than enough for Yunzhou County to prepare 10,000 horses.

A few days ago, news came back from Atria that the basic port has been built and can be put into use.

In the southeast, the Feiyun Trading Company also came with good news, the fleet sent out half a month ago passed through the Bohai Bay and saw the branch of the Yunling Mountain Range, and now it is moving along the branch coast, if the map is good, it will not be long before the fleet can reach the first port of Atria The original Kokir Village, now the Pingbo Port.

And actual combat is often easier to remember than theory, this half-month voyage has made many Yunzhou soldiers who were originally just beginners learn to operate the ship, and now they can be regarded as able to independently control the ship back and forth.

It's okay to go back to the city.

Good news from all sides continues to come, which makes Yunzhou County feel a lot more at ease.

Although it is only 10,000 people, these 10,000 people are also from their Yunzhou County, how can they be allowed to be locked up in those brainless pits?

I am still distressed by myself.

Li Dingguo, who received all kinds of good news, was also greatly relieved.

At noon, on the fifth day of the third month, after taking the oath in Nanyun School, there were 7,000 foot soldiers, 2,05 light cavalry, and 500 heavy cavalry.

They were accompanied by 10,000 Tatar auxiliaries, carefully selected from the southern steppes.

The tribes of the southern steppes in order to show their loyalty to the Cloud King.

When he learned that Yunzhou County was going to send 10,000 troops to Guanping after the beginning of the year, when he spontaneously selected 50,000 elite groups from a tribe and shouted that he wanted to fight for Tian Khan!

Zhao Jun was quite relieved to see it, but he was still on guard, so he only took 10,000 people as an auxiliary soldier of the Ping Wei army.

They didn't care much after they learned that it was only an auxiliary, they knew the combat effectiveness of the Yunzhou army, and the auxiliaries would be auxiliaries, as long as they could fight for the great Heavenly Khan!

In this way, the 10,000 Tatar elite became the auxiliaries of the Ping Wa army, and they brought their own horses, which saved them the trouble of recruiting soldiers and civilians.

When a large army goes out, there are only 10,000 regular soldiers, but often the number of people together is far more than 10,000, not to mention 20,000 people who accompany the army to help transport grain, grass, materials, weapons, medicines, etc.

Now with these 10,000 Tatar auxiliaries with their own horses, not only the people are saved, but also the mules and horses are left for transportation, and they use horses to help the army transport supplies on weekdays.

When the enemy attacks, you can directly get on the horse and become a soldier, which is simply a double win.

It was half a month later when the Pingwei army marched to Liaoyun Pass.

On this day, Peng Li inspected the guarding of this Liaoyun Pass as usual. Routine patrols are being conducted.

Suddenly, from a distance, I saw from the end of the official road in Yunzhou County that a large number of people were rapidly approaching.

Peng Lidang was even surprised!

Hurriedly called a soldier: "Hurry up and inform the general, just say that there are a large number of soldiers and horses in the direction of Yunzhou County are approaching our pass, and the current intention is unknown, please come quickly!" ”

"No!"

The little soldier answered, and then quickly ran down the city wall, running quickly towards the place where the main general Li Wei was.

And Peng Li was also vigilant and gave priority, and immediately let the horn soldiers blow the trumpet prepared by the whole army!

Woo woo woo~

The majestic and dull sound of the horn suddenly sounded, which suddenly woke up the defenders who had not noticed the situation outside the city in an instant.

Hurriedly made preparations, and the archers also spontaneously came to the city, formed a three-row formation under the command of Peng Li, wound their bows, and aimed at the approaching black shadow ready to give an arrow.

Stampede Collapse -

The sound of horses' hooves kept approaching, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the army of black shadows that were still at the end of the line of sight had already come to the city outside Liaoyun Pass, and stopped one hundred and fifty steps away from the city.

And the people at the head of the city finally saw the identity of the incoming army.

At this time, Li Wei finally received the news and hurried over.

"Where's the guy?"

Li Wei asked urgently.

Peng Li replied with his hand: "I didn't see it clearly before, but now I can see clearly that it is the Yunzhou Army under the command of King Yun."

When they had escorted the displaced people out of the customs before, the last general had paid attention to their flags.

It is this auspicious cloud flag!

It's just that it's the first time I've seen orange on a black background. ”

Peng Li was talking about the Yunlu Army flag erected by Li Dingguo and others.

And what he had seen was the black auspicious cloud banner on a white background that the original guards used to identify themselves.

"What are they doing here? And bring so many people? ”

Li Wei subconsciously asked, and then suddenly patted his head.

"Oh no, I almost forgot, Your Majesty transferred 10,000 soldiers and horses to Pingwei in Yunzhou County, could it be them?

But this number is not right, this is almost 20,000, half of them are Tatars?

And where are the men of their army? ”

Just as Li Wei was thinking about this, Li Dingguo below had already begun to call the door loudly.

"The city guards will open the door quickly, we are the Pingwei army of Yunzhou County, I am the commander of the Pingwu army, Li Dingguo, who entered the customs and Pingwei by the will of the imperial court, please open the city gate quickly and let me wait to enter the customs!"

As he spoke, Li Dingguo also held the holy decree from Bianjing high in his hand.

Now Li Wei can be sure that it is indeed the army that the imperial court transferred to Pingwei.

But their numbers are wrong!

The imperial court obviously only transferred 10,000, and I don't know what to do with 20,000 now!

Li Wei immediately replied loudly to the city: "General Li, we have already received the news of the imperial court's order to transfer troops.

But Ben will remember that the imperial court only transferred 10,000 people, and you look at at least 20,000, half of them are Tatars, please tell me why it is not in line with the will? ”

After hearing this, Li Dingguo immediately smiled and said: "Those 10,000 Tatars are not the regular soldiers of our Yunzhou army, but the auxiliary soldiers of our army to transport grain and grass!" ”

"Auxiliaries?!"

Li Wei's mind was suddenly full of question marks, whose auxiliary soldiers are the same as yours, all with big shoulders and round waists and fierce faces.

This is even if the soldiers under his command are definitely not opponents in one-on-one heads-up.

It's just their auxiliaries, what's the joke?

Seeing that he couldn't do it, Li Dingguo immediately waved his hand, and the Tatars who were originally riding on war horses behind him immediately dismounted, and they were generally one person and three horsemen.

One to ride, one to transport supplies, and one to spare.

Now this spare is also full of supplies.

As soon as they turned over and dismounted, five hundred Tatars formed a battalion, and quickly began to form themselves on the spot from what they had taken from the spare horses, and in less than a moment the grain trucks were still full of grain and supplies piled up on the carts.

The Tatars, on the other hand, became coachmen, sitting in the carriages and looking back in unison.

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and ...... Still...... You can still play like this!

Due to the development of technology, assembly line operations have developed rapidly in Yunzhou County.

Many parts are strictly dimensionally controlled, so any batch of parts can be assembled together and replaced at any time.

So don't look at the fact that they didn't bring a car just now, in fact, these Tatars thought that the car was too slow, so they deliberately dismantled the car, and let the food and other supplies be carried by the spare horses, and they were able to speed up the advance with the regular soldiers.

Immediately, the two sides checked the seal letter, and after confirming that it was correct, Li Wei had no choice but to open the city gate and let the Ping Wei army and his party enter the city first.
