On the 17th day of the first month, Emperor Yang Xiong of Tianwu worshiped heaven and earth, sacrificed Matsu in the north, personally awarded the three armies of the Fu Festival, the army was divided into three roads, and marched out of the fortress, Shangshu left servant shot Gao Gong as the middle road general, led the army of 50,000 to go out of the Ma Yi Road, Shangshu right servant shot Yang Su as the general of the West Road, led the army of 100,000 to go out of the Lingwu Road, Shangzhu Guo Yanrong as the general of the East Road, led the army of 50,000 to go out of the Youzhou Road, and took the Han King Yang Liang as the generalissimo of the expedition to the north, and led the three armies from afar.

This was the first large-scale counterattack against the Turks since the establishment of the Tianwu Dynasty, marking the shift from passive defense to active attack, and opening the prelude to the Tianwu Dynasty's comprehensive counterattack against the Turks.

This time, the imperial court mobilized 200,000 troops and 160,000 war horses, which was already a standing army of the dynasty, all of which were elite troops guarding the division in Beijing.

In addition to all kinds of logistical burdens, mountains of grain and grass in various counties, and countless horse-drawn carts and ox-carts were requisitioned, and the number of logistical men mobilized alone reached one million, and an average soldier had five civilians to provide logistical assistance.

The war is the national strength, it is the heyday of the dynasty, the accumulation of materials in the major official warehouses, is difficult to look at the back of the previous dynasties, and even more than 20 years after the fall of the Tianwu Dynasty, the materials accumulated by the Tianwu Dynasty have not been used up.

The 100,000 troops on the west road set off in the morning, with the general Zhou Luohu as the vanguard and led 5,000 elite cavalry to advance, and the rest of the army was divided into the front army, the middle army, and the rear army, and marched westward, together with the baggage and grain and grass of the accompanying army, stretching for more than 20 miles.

The soldiers' wives, children, fathers and elders went out of the city one after another to see each other, chariots, horses and horses, pedestrians with bows and arrows at their waists, Ye Niang's wife went to see each other, and the dust did not see the Xianyang Bridge.

．．．．．．．．

Yang Yuanba's height is no different from that of ordinary soldiers, and it is difficult to see in the team that he is only a half-sized man, and he rides a pure white high-headed horse, named Baiyunju.

Baiyun Ju is sent by his grandfather Yang Su, is a Gaochang tribute of the Ili horse, the war horse is snow-white, the physique is strong, the limbs are slender and powerful, especially good at long-distance travel, this horse is Yang Yuanba from more than a hundred horses at a glance.

He is completely dressed as Yang Su's own soldiers, dressed in a black bright light armor, wearing an eagle helmet, a round shield on his back and a pot of feather arrows, his saddle hangs his stone riding bow, his left waist carries a horizontal knife, but under his right waist is a three-foot-long short sword, this is Yang Jian gave him a golden sword, because the sword handle is a golden unicorn and got its name, but it is by no means a decoration, but a sharp sword.

This is one of Yang Xiong's beloved nine swords, and it was given to him by Yang Yuanba's life-saving grace, and even his grandfather Yang Su did not have this honor.

Yang Su's personal eighteen personal guards use standard horse lances, and the rest of the personal soldiers use spears, but he uses a stainless steel Yanling knife, the knife is one zhang three feet long, weighs thirty catties, and is built in imitation of Zhang Xutuo's long knife.

Straddle the horse and cross the sword, majestic, Yang Yuanba was named the captain of Renyong, but this is only a kind of loose official, not the actual military position, he does not have a single soldier, but is organized in Yang Su's personal corps, followed by the commander Yang Su, Yang Su's personal guard is four regiments of four thousand heavy cavalry, is the most elite unit of the Tianwu Army, in addition to guarding Yang Su himself, there are also long history, Sima, records, gong, cang, soldiers, cavalry Cao to join the army and so on a number of civilian officers.

The army of the Tianwu Dynasty practiced the government military system in peacetime, but in wartime it was reorganized into an army, with the army as a combat unit, with 16,000 men in an army, including 8,000 infantry, with 2,000 as a regiment, 4,000 cavalry, with 1,000 as a regiment, and 4,000 heavy soldiers, also with 1,000 as a regiment.

The downward establishment is a team of 100 people, 10 people for a fire, and the military ranks are from the fire chief, the 100 people leader, the same person, the partial general, the second general, and the general, and the hierarchy is clear.

Yang Su led an army of 100,000, that is, the Sixth Army, plus his own 4,000 personal soldiers, exactly 100,000 people.

Due to the urgency of the battle, the army marched extremely fast, and the next day, the army entered the territory of Fufu County.

"Yuanba, are you in a better mood?"

Yang Su saw that his grandson Yang Yuanba was silent for a day, knowing that it was because of the sad tears with his nurse and sister when he said goodbye yesterday, in fact, not only Yang Yuanba, but almost all the soldiers whose families came to see him off were immersed in the sadness of parting, and it was difficult to return to normal without a day or two.

Yang Su is used to such scenes, and he doesn't care about it, but Yang Yuanba is his grandson, so he pays special attention to it.

He smiled and patted Yang Yuanba's shoulder gently, "Go for a walk with the scout group, maybe you will be in a better mood." ”

In fact, Yang Yuanba's mood had returned to normal, he was about to say that he was okay, but when he heard that his grandfather asked him to go on patrol with the scout camp, he immediately changed his mind and nodded again and again, "Grandson is willing to go!"

Yang Su laughed, and he instructed a personal soldier beside him, "Take him to the Second Scout Regiment of the First Army, and let General Zhao Bi teach him well." ”

The soldiers nodded in agreement, "Little general, come with me!"

Yang Yuanba's mood began to get excited, and the sorrow of parting had been left behind, he whipped his horse fiercely, "Drive!" and galloped away with his own soldiers in front of the other party.

Yang Su looked at his back and nodded slightly, this child is quite similar to Yang Shuang, the first time Yang Shuang went out with the army, he was also twelve years old, ambitious, but unfortunately God was jealous of the talent, so that the king of Wei died early, I hope his grandson can be safe and sound, and hone his talent in the army.

"Yang Xiangguo, so that Sun can go out with the army as a teenager, his courage is commendable!" sighed an officer about thirty years old with a long thin face.

Yang Su glanced at the officer who was talking beside him, it was Yu Wenhua, the son of Yu Wenshu, Yu Wenhua and served as a thousand cattle in the left leading guard, and he was already a six-rank military position, and this time Yu Wenhua and the expedition were forced to Yang Su by his father Yu Wenshu.

Although he accepted it for the sake of face, Yang Su led the troops unequivocally, not giving Yu Wenhua and holding a military position with real power, but letting him be a military counselor, that is, to give advice and the like.

Yu Wenhua and also gladly accepted this false position, he originally went to the war outside the Saiwai to participate in the gilding of gold, he was delicate and expensive, how could he really go to the battlefield, Yuwen Shu was afraid that he would be in danger, and specially sent his Yuwen Thirteen Taibao to protect him.

"General Yuwen has won the award, he is just a teenager, if it weren't for the Holy Lord's permission, I would never let him go to the battlefield. ”

Yang Su smiled faintly, but his eyes glanced at the thirteen silver-armored knights not far away, that is, the famous Yuwen Thirteen Taibao around Yuwenshu, who were the thirteen elite soldiers selected by Yuwenshu from tens of thousands of troops under his command, all of them were brave and fierce, and Yuwenshu accepted them as the righteous sons of the moth, and according to the old customs of Xianbei, all of them changed their surnames to Yuwen.

Yang Su is quite interested in these thirteen Taibao, coincidentally, Yang Su also has eighteen personal guards, known as the Iron Shadow Eighteen Cavalry, these eighteen cavalry are also the elite selected by Yang Su from hundreds of thousands of troops, each of whom can be one enemy and one hundred, follow him for many years, and be dead to him, just like his shadow.

Yang Su has always had a thought, who is more powerful between his Iron Shadow Eighteen Riders and Yuwen Thirteen Taibao?

He originally wanted to make this suggestion this morning, but when he saw the big Taibao of the thirteen Taibao of Yuwen, he dispelled this idea, this Yuwen Taibao is only eighteen years old, six feet five tall, so that a one hundred and twenty pounds of phoenix wings gilt boring, extremely powerful, it is said that this person has single-handedly defeated a thousand horse thieves on the right side of Long, killing more than 300 people, I really don't know where Yuwen Shu found this fierce general Yizi?

Yu Wenhua glanced at the sky, and said with a smile: "Yang Xiangguo, it's dusk, or we will camp there!"

Yang Su looked around and smiled slightly, "Although the terrain here is flat, the surrounding forests are dense, and it is easy to hide the army, so it is not suitable to camp here, and then go ten miles to the front Yongxian County to camp in front." ”

"But..... this is Guanzhong, will there be enemies?" Yu Wenhua was stunned.

Yang Su smiled faintly, "No matter where you are, the principle of garrisoning is the same, Yu Wenhua and General, you have to learn from your respected father, he is the number one master of the Tianwu Army's garrison." ”

Yu Wenhua's face flushed, he couldn't say a word for a long time, laughed dryly, and went back.

Yang Su smiled coldly, and then ordered, "Go ten miles further, and the army will be stationed in the camp!"

He couldn't help but look at Yuwen Thirteen Taibao, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he found that the extremely tall Taibao was not in the team.
