"Report, urgent report from Langjuxu Mountain!" Finally, Zhao Chao and Gongsun Nu sent back the Huns' battle report.

Yan Yan and others also arrived at the Chinese army's tent immediately.

"Six days ago, the Xiongnu Shanyu Maodun and the Donghu Tuhe King's tribe had a big battle outside Langjuxu Mountain. The Xiongnu casualties were nearly 20,000, and the Donghu casualties were more than 10,000." The messenger fainted after passing on the information as soon as possible. passed.

"Help him down and get treatment!" Yan Yan waved his hand to the soldiers to take the messenger down for treatment.

"The war has finally started!" Dianqing, Meng Tian and others all breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting the good news they wanted.

So everyone turned to look at Yan Yan. Now it was their turn to send troops.

"Instruct Zhao Chao and Gongsun Nu to monitor closely. If necessary, they can freely decide whether to send troops to help. Gu's request is that King Tu He and Hu Dan's army must be crucified by the Xiongnu for ten months!" Yan Yan gave the decisive order.

Yan Lingji quickly drew up a military order and asked the herald to transmit the order to the Xiongnu frontline immediately.

"General Li Ren can lead his army back." Yan Yan looked at Li Ren and said.

"Here!" Dianqing didn't have any objections and stepped forward decisively to take the order.

After all, the Habayashi Guards were first established, and many of the soldiers were under the age of fourteen, so they were not suitable to follow him to the tragic battlefield that would follow.

"I only need cavalry!" Yan Yan continued.

"This..." Li Ren hesitated, "Now is the time to employ people. Why does your Majesty divide the troops?"

"Three thousand cavalry, exchange the best horses, equipment, and food from the Yanmen Army and Yulin Guards within three days to increase the number to 50,000!" Yan Yan finally gave the order.

Yan Yan shook his head, "We can't make it difficult for General Li Mu. He is already under great pressure by borrowing the army privately. If the army is damaged again, General Li Mu will die!"

Li Ren was silent. Privately transferring the army was a capital crime. If the army suffered heavy losses again, then Li Mu would also die.

Yan Yan finally looked at Meng Tian, ​​and Meng Tian also looked at Yan Yan expectantly, waiting for his order.

This is equivalent to drawing the most elite soldiers, the best horses, and the most advanced equipment from the three armies to form the most elite army.

"Here!" Li Ren finally accepted the order and led the Yanmen Pass army on the way back.

"Here!" The three of them also showed no hesitation.

Meng Tian, ​​Dian Qing, and Li Ren looked at each other and understood what Yan Yan meant. They wanted a quick decision.

"Here!" Meng Tian, ​​Dianqing, and Li Ren stepped forward to receive the order.

Now that he led his troops back to Yanmen Pass, Li Mu, who had a large army in hand, had the capital to make Handan dare not touch him.

"The Yulin Guards stay in Danlin City, waiting to support the three thousand cavalry at any time!" Yan Yan left the mature and solemn Dianqing and the Yulin Guards in Danlin City.

The machinery of war began to operate. Meng Tian and Meng Yi personally mobilized all the elite cavalry from the three armies to form a cavalry that could be called the most elite in the world, and it was also armed to the teeth.

When the three days are up, the grassland becomes a natural training ground. The three armies stand under the general's platform, waiting for your Majesty's review.

However, when Yan Yan arrived, he didn't say a word. He just mounted his war horse and left directly with the guards camp in front of everyone's attention. "Let's go!" Meng Tian did not hesitate and commanded three thousand riders to follow Yan Yan.

There was no need for any oaths or encouragement, because they all saw the three royal flags captured by Bingzhou in front of the general platform. They were the royal flags of the Xiongnu, Linhu, and Danlin. There are also flags of grassland tribes under the flag.

Therefore, just a simple action of stepping on the king's flag is worth a thousand words.

Their king and their emperor will tell Donghu with reality. At this point, there will be another Donghu White Deer King flag in the audience!
So silence is Bingzhou today, but the hustle and bustle of fighting spirit has already filled the sky.

Three thousand riders left Danlin City and went straight to the hinterland of Donghu. They met the first small Donghu tribe in just half a day.

"The number of people is about seventy or eighty!" the scout reported.

"Kill! From now on, there is no need to repay such small things. Just kill them all in the scout team and take away the tribe's food and baggage!" Yan Yan said calmly.

"This..." Meng Tian and Meng Yi both looked at Yan Yan in horror.

This is tantamount to slaughtering the entire Donghu!

"If you don't want to fall into the Yan Kingdom's predicament, just obey orders!" Yan Yan said coldly.

Meng Tian and Meng Yi looked at the cold and solemn Yan Yan, and for the first time they felt that this gentle king who once made people feel like a spring breeze could also be a person with a heart of stone.

"Maybe gentleness is just his appearance!" Meng Yi murmured in a low voice.

The Three Thousand Battalion did not bring much food, grass, and supplies. They did not take off their armor at night and slept together, and their marching speed was not very fast.

Although they were cavalry, they moved forward slowly and alternately, constantly staining the hands of all the soldiers with blood, including the blood of Donghu soldiers and the blood of ordinary people in Donghu.

At first, Donghu didn't pay attention to this slow-moving army, but half a month later, the entire Donghu panicked.

Because this army seemed like demons from hell, killing vegetation and trees wherever it went, and blood flowed for six hundred miles!

Meng Tian and Meng Yi were numb, as were all the soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalion. They had forgotten how many people they had killed and how many people were begging under their butcher knives, but the king did not allow them to have any Kind and compassionate, so between their conscience and the king, they chose the king!
"Madman, devil..." King Donghu threw the golden cup angrily again, but the entire royal court did not dare to speak.

Because they were all frightened, the intelligence coming back from the front line was that the Bingzhou army had become red-eyed and slaughtered everything they went, leaving not a single blade of grass alive!

"Strengthen the wall and clear the field!" King Donghu remembered the tactics Li Mu had used, but he was stunned to find that they couldn't do it!
There are no tall city walls or strong forts in the grassland. There are endless empty fields everywhere. How can we stop the cavalry that is as fast as the wind?

"Order, all tribes move to the royal court!" King Donghu finally had no choice but to order the tribes along the way in the direction of the Bingzhou army to move to the royal court.

Yan Yan also received the secret report from Donghu, looked at Meng Tian and other generals, smiled slightly and said, "Our supplies of food, grass and baggage are here!"

Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi and others were puzzled.

Although they have been continuously devouring the food and grass of various tribes in the past half month, the food reserves of those tribes with only dozens or hundreds of people cannot meet the food and grass needs of the 50,000 cavalry.

If they can't get effective supplies, they will have to return to Danlin or even Bingzhou!

It wasn't until they encountered the first tribe that retreated to Donghu again that they finally understood what Yan Yan wanted to do!
People have the consciousness to stick together for warmth, and Yan Yan was deliberately creating panic along the way, forcing the Xiongnu tribes, large and small, to gather together, and then... became a supply point for the movement of 50,000 cavalry!
