Before the fourth watch, the heavy war drums sounded in the camp of the Tianwu Army, Yu Chiwan was the first to wake up, she slept in the innermost, Yang Yuanba gave up his seat to her, and her eagle stood on a wooden box beside her, and the wooden box was the personal belongings of the soldiers.

Yu Chiwan woke up in shock, and hurriedly pushed Yang Yuanba, who was sleeping next to her, "Fire Chief!"

She pushed it into the air, but found Yang Yuanba sitting cross-legged, so frightened that she quickly withdrew her hand, Yang Yuanba slowly opened his eyes and smiled at her, stretched his waist for a long time, and was full of energy.

The drums became more and more dense, and Yang Yuanba jumped up and shouted to everyone: "The war drums have sounded, get up!"

Although he only slept for less than two hours, everyone got up quickly, and Yang Yuanba saw that the injured Liu Jian was about to get up, so he hurriedly stopped him, "Don't get up, Lao Liu, you have injuries." ”

"If you have injuries on your body, you have to go into battle!"

Liu Jian got up and muttered: "How can you make meritorious service if you don't fight, how can you be promoted if you don't make meritorious service, how can you get rich if you don't get promoted, how can you please your wife if you don't get rich....."

Yang Sien slapped him, "You kid can't do it, don't hold it up!"

Liu Jian winked at him, a little unscrupulous, he didn't do it, and he didn't do it, and there was no problem with cutting off people's heads and asking for credit.

Yang Sien understood and was silent, Yang Yuanba knew that he was a veteran oilman, and he would not wronged himself, so he was not reluctant, he cared about the situation of Kangbas, and Kangbasa had also cleaned up and hung a horizontal knife on his waist. He was tall and thin, like a bamboo pole, and it was a bit funny to hang a horizontal knife.

"Lao Kang, follow me closely when you fight. ”

"Fire chief, I know, no problem. ”

Yang Yuanba glanced at everyone again, there were seven of them, he Yang Yuanba, Yang Sien, Liu Jian, Yu Chiwan, Fat Fish, Ma Lao, Kangbas, all seven of them are going into battle today.

"I'll say it again, today's battle is estimated to be very tragic, I don't know if I can survive, if you have any last words, you can tell me in advance, it involves personal secrets, I will keep it secret for everyone, now let's go!"

He led everyone out of the tent, and as soon as he came out of the tent, He Baichang, who was about to meet them, ran towards him, "Yang Huochang, my luck is very bad, and I won the death lottery again!"

Everyone laughed together, and the luck of the 100-person leader of his door didn't seem to be good, "100-person leader, what kind of dead sign is it?"

"Alas, our team hit the periphery of the middle army, and his grandmother's, the first team had the best luck and hit the periphery of the rear camp. ”

He pulled Yang Yuanba aside and said in a low voice: "Originally, I applied for exemption from today's battle, but General Zhao Bi said that there was an order from above, except for the seriously wounded soldiers, all the rest will go to battle, Major General, I can't help you." ”

Yang Yuanba patted him on the shoulder, "Brother He, don't call me Major General." ”

He Baichang sighed in his heart, he already understood that although Yang Yuanba was the grandson of the handsome, he didn't need to take care of it, he hugged Yang Yuanba heavily, "Brother, come back alive!"

"I will, Brother He, you will come back alive as well. ”

He Baichang said to Yang Yuanba's subordinates again: "Brothers, on the battlefield, everyone take care, my brother usually has a place where I can't live with everyone, I hope you will forgive me, come back alive, let's drink together to celebrate!"

He waved to the crowd and turned and ran away.

．．．．．．．．

Since the scouts found the main force of the Turks a hundred miles away last night, the Tianwu army began to prepare overnight, and everyone knew that there would be a big battle today, and everything seemed to be in order.

After eating a sumptuous pre-war meal, the assembly drum beats, the drums are earth-shattering, the trombone sounds in unison, the whimpering low trumpet resounded throughout the grassland, 100,000 Tianwu army, with the army as a unit, each army, each regiment, each team, and each fire lined up one by one, but not all the armies have to go out, leaving 20,000 heavy soldiers to garrison the camp, and the remaining 80,000 troops marched out in formation, including 24,000 cavalry, 56,000 infantry, cavalry is divided into trap soldiers, archer cavalry, light cavalry, heavy armor soldiers, infantry is crossbowmen, pikemen, jumping soldiers, and scout cavalry.

According to Yang Su's deployment, this time the troops were dispatched, and only cavalry and infantry were used to deal with the Turks, which was the first time since the two Jin Dynasty that the nomads of the steppe were fighting.

This is Yang Su's decision, last night when he put forward this plan at the combat meeting, set off an uproar, the Central Plains army in the war with the Turks, because of the fear of the Turkic fierce cavalry rushing back and forth, all use chariots, cavalry and infantry cross with each other in the formation, the outside of the formation is surrounded by antlers, thistles and other things, the cavalry stay in the innermost, this has always been the traditional tactics of the Central Plains army, and Yang Su actually wants to give up the chariot formation, in the Turkic way with cavalry against each other, this is simply to attack the other side with a short time.

But Yang Su did not think so, he thought that there was a problem with the tactics in the past, the Central Plains army was always more important than defensive and less than offensive, so he handed over the offensive initiative to Hu Cai, plus Hu Cai's horse maneuvered, coming and going without a trace, it was difficult for the Central Plains army to completely defeat the other party.

And the Tianwu army has been strong for 20 years, the soldiers are well-fed, well-trained, and well-equipped, why can't they fight one-on-one with the grassland Hu cavalry, if they can't fight face to face with the grassland Hu cavalry, then the Central Plains army will always be at a psychological disadvantage, and he is willing to start from this battle, the Tianwu cavalry is no longer afraid of the Hu cavalry, and break the shackles of this passivity.

'I am the commander of the whole army, and it is up to me to decide how to fight, and if I fail, I will bear the responsibility!'

Yang Su ended the controversy among the generals with a resolute tone that could not be opposed.

Yang Su was dressed in golden helmets and golden armor, and he was surrounded by four thousand armored cavalry, that is, heavy cavalry, which was the most elite unit among the 100,000 cavalry, and behind him were eighteen personal guards, known as the Iron Shadow Eighteen Cavalry, Yang Su's eyes were indifferently waiting for the time to send troops, and a flag officer galloped to report, "Dashuai, the auspicious time has come!"

Yang Su waved his sword, "Let's go!"

"Knock! knock!" The huge drum sounded, and more than 100 trombones sounded together, 'Woo~'

Groups of cavalry and infantry set off in formation, the war horses were like floods, swords and guns were like iron forests, and the early morning sun shone on the bright light armor of the Tianwu Army, reflecting the cold light of the forest.

Yang Su was in the Fifth Army, and he set off in the middle, and he whispered to his Iron Shadow Eighteen Cavalry, "You are far away to protect the young general!"

The Eighteen Iron Cavalry received the order, and accelerated their horses and galloped towards the First Army.

Next to a piece of military chariots, Yuwen Chengdu also whispered to Yu Wenhua and asked for battle, "Young Marshal, you stay in the camp, you should be safe and sound, you let the humble post go to war with the army!"

Yu Wenhua glared at him fiercely, and his attitude was extremely stern, "Don't forget your identity, you are just my Yuwen Valve's general, don't think that if you say a few words to Yang Su, you don't know the height of the sky, your duty is to protect my safety, you can't go anywhere except by my side!"

Yuwen Chengdu was very disappointed in his heart, he dreamed of getting this opportunity to go into battle to kill the enemy, seeing that the opportunity was close at hand, but he couldn't seize it, he lowered his head deeply, and didn't say a word more, with endless regret and resentment in his heart.

Yu Wenhua snorted coldly, he has long been unaccustomed to this big Taibao, he doesn't know his identity, he thinks he has a little martial arts and talks to people everywhere, he wants to climb high branches, don't put him in his eyes, he doesn't want this person, Yu Wenhua can't wait to kick him away, but not now, now kick him away and he will do what he wants, don't think!

The 80,000-strong army marched towards the northern grasslands, the banner covered the sky and the sun, and in the sky above the Chinese army, the crimson military flag eight feet high was particularly eye-catching, and on the big banner, 12 ribbons were waved in the wind.

But the army didn't need to go far, and last night another scout found the main force of the Turkic army a hundred miles away.

Yang Yuanba is the first army, located at the front of the team, they are scouts, when fighting, they will shoot the lone Turkic army on the periphery, and at the same time report all kinds of intelligence, and do not participate in the group attack.

Wei Chiwan quietly caught up with Yang Yuanba and walked side by side with him, she has always been very worried, soldiers are generally stripped of their clothes and burned naked when they are cremated, this is what she is most afraid of, she whispered to Yang Yuanba: "Fire Chief, if I die, don't let others see my true identity, cremate me on the spot, and return the ashes to my father." ”

Yang Yuanba nodded, "Don't worry! ”

"What about you, do you have any last words?" asked Wei Chiwan in a low voice.

Yang Yuanba patted her arm and smiled, "You don't have to worry about me, I don't want to die, God can't do anything about me." ”

At this moment, suddenly a soldier shouted, "Turkic spies!"

I saw a group of Turkic soldiers appear a few miles away, checking their situation from a distance, and Zhou Luohu, the commander of the First Army, shouted angrily, "Where are the scouts?"

Yang Yuanba waved his hand, "Brother Fifth Fire, follow me!"

He waved his horse and galloped towards the Turkic spies, and the six brothers galloped after him, not only them, but hundreds of scouts of the First Army all in unison, chasing after a dozen Turkic spies.

．．．．．．．．

At this time, fifty miles away, more than 100,000 Turkic troops were also marching rapidly, preparing to meet the Tianwu army.

Originating from the east of the West Sea (present-day Aral Sea), the Turks belonged to the Caucasian and yellow-white mixed races, generally tall and good at riding and archery, and they gradually migrated eastward, and finally defeated Rouran and became the masters of the Mobei steppe.

During the founding years of the Tianwu Dynasty, due to the implementation of the dynasty's counter-plot, the Turks were divided into two parts, the East and the West, and after the death of Shabalu Khan twelve years ago, the Eastern and Western Turks were officially divided, and Datou Khan became the lord of the Western Turks.

Datou Khan's full name is Ashina Sulp, the son of the founder of the Western Turks, who is about forty years old this year, with blue eyes and a broad face and a burly figure.

He is narrow-minded, extremely vindictive, ruthless, and at the same time, he is as cunning as a wolf.

This time, he and the ** Dulan Khan jointly exterminated the dyed cadres, but his goal was not the Tianwu Dynasty, but wanted to take the opportunity to defeat the ** and unify the grassland, but the Tianwu Dynasty sent troops on a large scale, disrupting his plan, and now he only had to defeat the Tianwu Army from the north of Wuyuan, and then go east to encircle and suppress Dulan.

In the past few days, Datou Khan's mood has been particularly bad, his most beloved youngest son Boli was killed by the scouts of the Tianwu Army, if he does not avenge this revenge, he swears not to be a man.

Datou Khan's army was not marching fast, he was also waiting for news from the spies, he rode on a very strong red horse, this is the Dawan horse that Shi Guo paid tribute to him, just over three years old, galloping like the wind, can gallop thousands of miles, can be called the king of horses.

Datou Khan looked at the south of the grassland with a gloomy gaze, and then considered how to deal with the Tianwu Army's chariot and cavalry formation, he had fought with the Tianwu Army when he was young, and knew that this formation was not conducive to the Turks to give full play to the advantages of the sharp horses, and he was considering whether to attack the logistics camp of the Tianwu Army first.

Two bloodied cavalrymen rushed back, it was the spies he sent out, they were intercepted by the scouts of the Tianwu Army, most of them were killed, and only two fled back.

Immediately, the cavalry reported loudly: "Khan, the main force of the Tianwu Army, about 80,000 people, has been found thirty miles ahead. ”

Datou Khan asked in a deep voice: "What formation are they, and how many troop vehicles are there?"

"Back to the Khan, they did not bring troop vehicles, only cavalry and infantry. ”

"What did you say?"

Datou Khan was stunned, he couldn't believe his ears, "The Tianwu Army doesn't have military vehicles?"

"Yes! We could see clearly that there was not a single military vehicle, only cavalry and infantry. ”

Datou Khan was ecstatic, he jumped off his horse and knelt down, opened his arms to the sky, and shouted excitedly: "This is the sky Tenggeri helping me!"

He jumped on his horse and shouted to more than 100,000 Turkic cavalry: "Tengger is protecting us, directly defeating the main force of the Tianwu Army, and taking credit for the merit!"

More than 100,000 Turkic troops burst out into a roar to the sky, the Turkic white flag waved, and the war swords flashed in the sun, and they swooped towards the main force of the Tianwu army thirty miles away like an endless pack of wolves on the grassland.
