The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 554 Haoyue is the light, and the stars guide the way

Above the night sky, Guanghan hangs high, and the sky is full of stars.

The wind and snow in the evening slowed down slightly compared to the daytime, but the temperature was a little lower because of the nightfall.

In the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, sparks were shining brightly. Xu An ordered the soldiers to leave the Ming camp. Now that they have been exposed, there is no difference between the Ming camp and the dark camp.

In the camp, the guards in charge of vigilance did not neglect in the slightest, they all watched the dark surroundings vigilantly.

In the Chinese army tent, Xu An closed his eyes and sat on a rough straw mat. A simple hourglass for timekeeping was placed on the desk in front of him.

Time passed by everyone's side bit by bit, and the crackling sound of burning firewood seemed extremely ear-piercing in the silent night.

Liu Pi, Lu Bu, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other generals of the Yellow Turban Army sat in their tents, holding their breath and concentrating. No one dared to make any extraordinary moves at this moment.

The fine sand above the hourglass slowly flows from the upper part to the lower part, slowly filling the lower container little by little.

More than half of the fine sand on the upper part of the hourglass has flowed away, and only a little fine sand is left. If you estimate the time, it may not even take a minute before all of it has passed to the lower part.

Xu An slowly opened his eyes, and the hourglass in front of him had all flowed out at this moment, flowing into the bottom of the hourglass.

In the Chinese military tent, everyone's eyes were also focused on him at this moment.

Xu An picked up the hourglass on the desk, stood up, and looked calmly at the solemn-looking Yellow Turban generals in the Chinese army tent.

Seeing Xu An standing up, Liu Pi also left his seat, knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and reported in a deep voice.

"The preparations of all the armies have been completed. We only need to wait for the Lord's military order. The whole army can move immediately!"

Xu An clenched the hourglass in his hand, his gaze slowly became gloomy and cold, the originally dull atmosphere in the Chinese military tent disappeared without a trace in an instant, replaced by a murderous aura.

"He Louqi, the leader of the Western Xianbei, has discovered us. The [-] troops of the Xianbei Royal Court have already known our arrival. They are waiting for us to throw themselves into the net with their mouths wide open in the Xianbei Royal Court, and more than [-] Xianbei cavalry are coming from all directions. Wang Ting rushed to help."

Xu An's tone was calm, and the situation was extremely dangerous, but it didn't seem to have the slightest influence on Xu An.

None of the generals and schools of the Yellow Turban Army in the Chinese army's tent showed a look of fear on their faces.

Facing the Han army in Kuicheng in the past, they had no fear. They faced the last stand of more than [-] Xiongnu cavalry on the Shuo side, and they had no fear. But how could a mere [-] Xianbei riders make them feel intimidated?

"We haven't fought for a long time, and the world has forgotten our bravery. The tribes in the northern grasslands also think that our army is weak and deceitful..."

Xu An's face darkened slightly, his eyes sharpened, and a fierce murderous aura suddenly rolled out from his body.

"Today's battle will surely make the Hu people dare not go south to herd horses, and the soldiers dare not bend their bows and complain!"

Xu An walked forward at a tiger's pace, and the generals sitting on both sides of the tent stood up, followed Xu An and walked out of the tent one by one.

"Order the whole army to go west all the way, without stopping, and without hesitation, to attack the Xianbei royal court!"

"promise!"

All the generals behind Xu An suddenly agreed.

The two guards guarding the tent of the Chinese army opened the curtain.

Xu An strode out of the tent of the Chinese army.

Outside the tent, a group of Tengxiangwei soldiers were ready to go, blocking the outside of the Chinese army's tent.

Xu Hong stood at the forefront of the army with the Yanling Saber on his waist.

When all the people saw Xu An, they all bowed their heads to pay tribute, and avoided to go to the two sides. The dense crowd separated before Xu An's eyes like waves splitting.

"call out------"

Outside the tent of the Chinese Army, the unique wooden whistle of the Yellow Turban Army sounded under the night sky.

The whistle was sharp and long, spreading in all directions in an instant.

In the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, the soldiers of the fourth battalion heard the whistle and got on their horses. They had already woken up from their sleep, put on Gaoqiao saddles for their horses, fastened the reins, and fixed them double foot stirrups,
"Ugh——"

The low and desolate horn sounded from all over the camp, and the cavalry from all over the place had completed their assembly after a while and were ready to set off at any time.

Xu An held the reins tightly, and the strong wind blew, making the khaki war robe on him flutter.

Six hundred Tengxiang Guards in yellow clothes stood behind him, the military tents in the camp had been put away, and densely packed cavalry stood in front of him.

"There is only one goal for today!"

Xu An led the horse and walked around in the wind and snow.

The attention of all the cavalry was focused on Xu An, their eyes were burning and full of respect.

"Destroy the royal court of Xianbei in the west! Let the world once again sing the prestige of my way of peace!"

Xu An raised the Yanling Saber in his hand high, shouting hysterically.

The howling wind carried Xu An's voice far away.

One word spread to ten, ten to hundreds, everyone in the camp heard Xu An's words.

The cavalrymen of the Fourth Battalion, nearly [-] soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, all raised their weapons high and yelled that slogan that they hadn't yelled for a long time.

"Cang Tian is dead, Huang Tian should stand!!"

"The year is Jiazi, the world will be blessed!!!"

Xu An's eyes were heavy, he suddenly raised his knife and slashed down, and shouted decisively: "Let's fight!"

"promise!"

A group of cavalry soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army suddenly agreed, and the muffled and powerful sound of horseshoes filled Xu An's ears in an instant.

The rain and snow gradually stopped, and the wind slowed down.

The bright moon hangs in the sky, and the clouds covering the moon in the night sky have dissipated at some point.

The stars in the sky are dim, and the bright moon is in front, unable to compete for brilliance.

The cold moonlight shone on the vast grassland, illuminating the way forward for more than [-] cavalrymen of the Yellow Turban Army, without even needing torches.

As pioneer scouts, they looked up at the sky and discerned the stars. As a guide, there was nothing on the grassland that could provide them with reference. It was not a map or a guide that guided the Yellow Turban Army. They are the vast stars in the universe.

The bright moon illuminates, and the stars lead the way.

The bright moon is the lamp, and the stars are the guide.

Amidst the sound of rumbling horseshoes, more than [-] cavalrymen of the Yellow Turban Army rolled towards the west.

The sudden departure of the Yellow Turban Army also attracted the attention of the surrounding Xianbei scouts.

In a hurry, they drove their horses, wanting to go back and report the news.

The scouts of the Yellow Turban Army were not just wine bags and rice bags. They left the camp long before the army set off, and began to strangle the Xianbei army scouts on the periphery of the army.

When the army was marching, they wandered around the periphery of the army, protecting the two wings of the army, front and back, and all directions.

The already elite scouts of the Yellow Turban Army were equipped with new harnesses. Under the leadership of Cheng Lian and Wei Yue, they easily defeated the Xianbei Army scouts on the periphery.

However, there were quite a few scouts from the Xianbei army who escaped from being strangled by the scouts of the Yellow Turban Army. They rushed to report the movement of the Yellow Turban Army, and wanted to bring the news to their respective tribes, and then inform the royal court.

It's just that they underestimated the marching speed of the Yellow Turban Army after all.

The marching speed of the Yellow Turban cavalry equipped with new-style riding gear is more than a star and a half faster than that of ordinary cavalry without new-style riding gear.

The sturdy horseshoes protect the horseshoes of the Yellow Turban Army's horses, and also allow them to adapt to various terrains and walk on them like flying.

The marching speed of the Yellow Turban army was even faster than the scouts of the general Xianbei army!
It is precisely because of this that as long as the Xianbei army scouts are discovered by the Yellow Turban army scouts, there is almost no possibility of escaping.

At this unimaginable speed, the Yellow Turban Army moved quickly towards the royal court of Xianbei in the west.

Those Xianbei army scouts who were in charge of guarding the outskirts of the Yellow Turban Army camp, the Yellow Turban Army's camp is still [-] miles away from the Xianbei King's Court in the west, so they found out the news of the Yellow Turban Army's actions. Report to their respective tribes.

Four or five neighboring tribes in Xianbei in the west have already been mobilized, and some troops have been sent to wander outside. However, these four or five tribes are all small and medium-sized tribes, and they only dispatched more than two thousand horses in total.

If Xu An's Yellow Turban Army was a normal army, then there would be no problem with their actions.

But the question is, how can the Yellow Turban Army equipped with new riding equipment be a normal cavalry army?

Haoyue slowly moved westward, and the sky was already pale. At this time, the Yellow Turban Army had arrived only ten miles away from the Xianbei King's Court in the west.

And it wasn't until this time that He Louqi received the news of the front line's report.

All the way in a hurry, the Yellow Turban Army had already changed their horses twice, this time they rode on the main horse, which had been keeping plenty of energy.

"call out------"

The sharp whistle blew over the grassland.

Amidst the sound of rumbling horseshoes, the Yellow Turban Army who had changed their horses was advancing rapidly forward. They ran for hundreds of miles in the starry night. Even if they were riding on horses, it was still extremely exhausting for ordinary people.

But none of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army felt tired.

Because there is a battle flag that has been marching in the army, marching in front of the army, as long as they raise their heads, they can see that tall flag, it is Xu An's big flag!
Their great and virtuous teacher is with them, Huang Tian is protecting them, standing with them!
"call out----"

"call out----"

One after another, sharp screams swept through the air and spread to all directions.

The khaki torrent rolled forward, and more than [-] cavalry soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were already in armor. They could even see the stretching military tents of the western Xianbei royal court and the chaotic crowd in the royal court.

In the Xianbei royal court in the west, He Louqi shouted hoarsely. At this time, He Louqi was full of anger and panic.

The ridiculous thought of attacking Bingzhou, occupying the pastures of the Xiongnu, and attacking Bingzhou has long since disappeared from his mind.

He was angry at those wine bags and rice bags, but he never found the trace of the Yellow Turban Army, so that the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army drove all the way to the outside of the palace. Ten miles away!

He was frightened by the terrifying and strange marching speed of the Yellow Turban Army, which was totally unreasonable.

The Yellow Turban Army came so quickly that no one in the Xianbei tribe in the west expected it. At dusk tonight, the return should be about [-] miles away, but it is only early in the morning. The cavalry has appeared in the east of the royal court like ghosts.

Among the Wang Ting, a large number of Xianbei people were mobilized urgently, and he was in a panic looking for weapons, looking for Qiu Jia.

But the more anxious you are, the more error-prone you are, and the western Xianbei royal court has become a mess at this time.

Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes never come singly. Just when He Louqi was trying his best to gather his soldiers, even greater turmoil occurred in the royal court.

"What happened over there?!"

He Louqi grabbed a Xianbei nobleman who staggered out from a place of commotion and questioned him.

After hearing the explanation from the Xianbei nobleman, He Louqi's expression changed drastically.

Rumors suddenly appeared in the royal court, claiming that the Yellow Turbans were not mortals, and that the cavalry of the Yellow Turbans were all demons and ghosts. Otherwise, why would they have been [-] miles away last night, and now they have appeared outside the royal court just after dawn.

At this moment, He Louqi understood instantly that there were probably spies from the Yellow Turban Army in the royal court.

"not good!"

Just when He Louqi was about to issue an order, flames suddenly appeared in the corner of Wang Ting, and thick smoke rose suddenly.

He Louqi only felt dizzy for a while, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground, his hands and feet were cold, and his face turned pale.

Internal and external troubles, defenseless, the outcome of this battle is almost doomed...

"All rumorers, kill them all!"

Fear almost enveloped He Louqi's whole body, but after the extreme fright, there was anger, endless anger.

He Louqi was trembling all over because of fear and anger.

He was riding on a war horse. At this moment, He Louqi's chest was completely filled with anger and fear. The Yellow Turban Army had definitely come prepared for this battle. He knew that the only chance he had was to resist the Yellow Turban Army's first attack. A wave of attacks delayed the arrival of reinforcements from the tribes around the royal court.

"Send me an order to order the reinforcements from all ministries to rush to the royal court for support!"

He Louqi pulled over a close minister and gave him an order.

The Xianbei people in the royal court also gathered a lot. The Yellow Turban Army came on horses in armor, and they must not be able to drive the horses to run at full speed. This also gave Xianbei in the west the last breath of time.

"Xianbei warriors!"

He Louqi looked at the frightened Xianbei cavalry in the royal court, he knew he had to say something.

Otherwise, with such morale, they will undoubtedly lose.

He Louqi opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know what to say, his words were so pale at this moment.

He wanted to tell about the glory of Xianbei in the past, he wanted to tell about the courage he should have, he wanted to tell about the despicableness of the Han people, but he couldn't say all of this, he knew that it was useless to say these words at this moment.

"For the family behind us, fight to the death!"

He Louqi raised the spear in his hand high and roared.

"Fight to the death!"

In the royal court, all the Xianbei cavalry raised their weapons and blades.

They have no way to retreat, this is the royal court, this is the royal court of Xianbei in the west, his family members, relatives and sisters are all in it, they can no longer retreat.

There is nowhere for them to retreat.

"Death battle!!"

Countless Xianbei cavalry roared loudly, many of them still had fear on their faces, and even their bodies were trembling, but their hands holding the swords were extremely firm.

They raised their weapons aloft, followed the banner of their lord He Louqi, and walked slowly towards the east.
