Chanyu walked out of the Golden Tent and looked around. A satisfied smile appeared on his dark and handsome face. He was satisfied with the calmness of his subordinates, and even more satisfied with what he had built for so many days and years.
In his opinion, the Northern Battlefront Army, which was seriously short of cavalrymen, was no match for the cavalrymen of the Golden Tribe. The battle between the two sides had been in a stalemate a few days ago. On the one hand, the Northern Battlefront Army was unexpectedly tough. On the other hand, the Tang armaments and cultivators were beyond imagination. On the other hand, the cavalrymen of the Golden Tribe did not go all out.
In a battle between infantry and cavalry, no matter who had the innate advantage, the cavalry was psychologically superior. If infantry wanted to resist the cavalry, they would have to pay more in physical and mental strength.
A few days ago, the cavalry of the Golden Tribe was exhausting the Tang infantry's physical and mental strength. More importantly, they were gradually wearing down the enemy's will and courage. At the same time, they were boosting their morale and confidence of winning.
Today was the day of the final battle.
The cavalry of the Golden Tribe would attack with all their strength. They would attack without reserve. They would attack without leaving any survivors. They would return the humiliation they had suffered for hundreds of years to the Tangs. They would completely defeat the main force of the Northern Battlefront Army.
It was a risky strategy. But in Chanyu's eyes, it was a sure-win strategy. After testing the enemy a few days ago, he was sure that the Tangs did not have any hidden tricks. So, he would crush them head-on.
Dawn was coming. The white light from the east covered one-tenth of the sky. The warm morning light fell on the grassland and on Chanyu's face, making his cheeks look stronger.
He looked at the grassland in the south and the Tang camp in the distance. He seemed to see the cavalry of the Golden Tribe surging like a tide and the ground of the grassland starting to shake. Then, just like a few days ago, the Tang camp would launch all kinds of armaments. The catapults would make a dull sound. The spears in front of the camp fences would be sharp. The iron thorns in the trenches would be cold. The swords of the cultivators from the Central Plains would shine. The Qi of Heaven and Earth would change violently. However, those … would be drowned by his cavalry.
General Bule walked over. He looked at the wisest Chanyu in the history of the grassland and the man he admired the most. He said in a trembling voice, "From today on, you will be the king of the world." “
The Chief no longer smiled, remaining calm as usual. It was because he was certain that he could remain this calm. He looked past the Tang camp in the south and at a location further south. According to the Imperial Advisor, that was Chang 'an.
That gentle but fearsome emperor had died six years ago, but his daughter was still alive. Chanyu thought to himself that he would kill her after conquering Chang 'an and then stab his penis into her body.
A Da also appeared outside the Golden Tent. He did not take a bath last night and the blood stains on his body had already coagulated, giving off a faint stench which attracted the mosquitoes and flies in the weeds.
The nobles looked at the former slave, who was now the most powerful warrior of the Golden Tribe. Their eyes were full of hatred and fear, and they did not want to stand too close to him.
A Da was injured on the battlefield a few days ago. In order to remember this injury, he purposely did not wash off the blood on his body. It was not because he wanted to remember the humiliation, but because he wanted to remember that he should learn from the opponent.
That day, he hid among the cavalry of the Golden Tribe and broke through the trenches and spear fences of the Tang army. Then he hid in the dead bodies of his companions and tried to assassinate Hua Ying, the vanguard general of the Northern Battlefront Army.
A Da had always wanted to kill Hua Ying. At first, he only wanted to take revenge on Ning Que for the bloody captive slaughter in Chang 'an. But later, he was not reconciled to the fact that he failed to kill Hua Ying. The unreconciled feeling was like a poisonous snake that made him take the risk to assassinate Hua Ying.
His assassination failed because from the very beginning, or more precisely, from the moment he hid among the cavalry and rushed to the front of the Tang camp, his whereabouts and purpose had been clearly predicted by someone.
Hua Ying did not show up. What came was an iron hammer and a tactical array.
A Da was ambushed and was immediately injured. But he was after all one of the most powerful cultivators in the Golden Tribe Royal Court. He finally broke through the encirclement of the Tang army and escaped back to the Golden Tribe, but he was extremely embarrassed.
Regardless of his injury, he visited the Nation Master late at night and learned who those people were.
The one who saw through his plan was Fan Yue, the Fourth of the Academy. The warrior who waved the iron hammer was Mr. Six of the Academy. And the woman who used the tactical array as if it was alive was Mr. Seven of the Academy.
The three masters of the Academy were all at the peak of the Seethrough State. In the world of cultivation, they were certainly great figures. But for a truly powerful cultivator like A Da, he could easily defeat ten of them at once. But he still failed miserably, which he could not understand.
After thinking for a whole night, A Da did not become angrier or dizzy with anger. Instead, he became much calmer. This was the first time he fought with the Academy on the battlefield and he learned a lot. He respected the Academy a lot more and was more determined to destroy the Academy.
That was why he was so calm when he looked at the Tang camp under the morning light. Even though he was hated and feared by those nobles, he was still calm. The Golden Tribe would definitely win today and he did not need to do anything.
They also believed that the Golden Tribe would win, so Chanyu and A Da were calm. But more men from the grassland were fanatical. They looked at the Tang army in the south with cold eyes like wolves.
As long as they defeated the Tang Empire, the Golden Tribe Royal Court would be the overlord of the world. In the new world, they would occupy the most prosperous town in the Central Plains, wear the smoothest silk, have the most beautiful women, drink the strongest wine, drink the clearest stream, and eat the softest bread …
These were all gifts from the Everlasting Heaven. If they did not accept them, they would be punished by heaven.
…
…
Chanyu, A Da, and countless cavalrymen of the Golden Tribe were looking at the Tang camp in the south.
In the Tang camp, General Hua Ying and his subordinates were also looking at the north. In the temporary General's Mansion, Xu Chi was also looking at the north. He was looking at the hungry wolves in the morning light and the morning wind.
People sensed the danger.
The war in the previous ten days had been extremely fierce. The cavalrymen of the Golden Tribe did try their best, but the Northern Battlefront Army's defense was extremely tough. That was why they were evenly matched. But today was different.
It was obvious that the Golden Tribe was going all out today. Chanyu and his subjects were ready to bet the fate of the entire tribe on the battle that was about to begin.
Hua Ying's face turned pale.
With the help of the telescope, he could see everything happening in the Golden Tribe Royal Court. He saw the grassland barbarians feeding the horses with food, water, and salt. He even saw the lamb bones in the pot.
As an experienced general of the Tang army, he knew the habits of the grassland cavalrymen. In two hours at most, the well-fed warhorses would lead the wolf-like barbarians to him.
That was the most regular rule of fighting for the grassland cavalrymen. That was also why he was so angry. Chanyu and his grassland cavalrymen were not afraid to let the Tang army see what they were doing. That meant they had already set the time of the battle and informed the Tang army.
What kind of confidence was that? And what kind of humiliation was that for the Tang army!
If it were ten years ago, Hua Ying would have sent his cavalrymen to attack as soon as he saw the first scene. He would have been able to win the battle when the enemy was unprepared.
But he could not do that now. He did not have enough cavalrymen, nor could he prepare the warhorses in batches like the Northern Battlefront Army did when they were in their prime …
If.
That sentence and that judgment came to Hua Ying's mind again.
If the Great Tang still had a true cavalry force and a sufficient number of warhorses, would the Chief still dare to advance so recklessly? No, what awaited the Golden Tribe Royal Court today was destruction.
If, if, if there were really "if", how could there be so many "ifs" in the world? There were never "ifs". That was why the Golden Tribe Royal Court would not be destroyed today. That was why Chanyu and his grassland cavalrymen dared to attack so recklessly. That was why the Northern Battlefront Army would face such an ending. He could even see the bleak color on the word "ending" and smell the despair in it.
Different from General Hua Ying, the ordinary soldiers of the Northern Battlefront Army were still calm and determined. They did not know the secret military intelligence or the result of the sand table. They did not know or even did not care about the odds of winning the battle. They only knew to fight, and they were as fearless as they were in the past.
Looking at the Tang army who were silently preparing for the battle, Situ Yilan slightly closed her eyes to hide the gloominess. Then she quickly raised her head and cheered herself up. She did not want to affect the morale of the army.
She suddenly noticed a Tang soldier near the stove. At this time, all the Tang soldiers had finished their breakfast quickly and started to sharpen their weapons. Only that Tang soldier was still standing beside the pot, holding a big bowl in his left hand and a wooden spoon in his right hand. He was eating the vegetable porridge in big mouthfuls, and after eating the meat, he was even more happy to say something.
"What's your name?"
Situ Yilan walked to the stove and said while looking at the Tang soldier.
The Tang soldier was not old, but from the calluses on his fingers that held the porridge bowl and the indifferent expression on his face, it could be seen that he was a veteran who had been through hundreds of battles.
The soldier looked at her and was stunned. He put the bowl on the stove and saluted. He reported, "I'm Wang Wu, the commander of the Fourth Scout Team of the Vanguard Battalion. Nice to meet you, General."
"Wang Wu? That's a neat name. "
Situ Yilan said, "But you are not neat enough. Didn't you see that the others have already returned to the camp to prepare for the battle? Why are you still here?"
Wang Wu showed respect to her, but it did not mean he was afraid. He explained in a sincere and funny way, "The scouts don't have to go to the battle for now. Besides, it will take at least two hours for the barbarians to arrive. Why are you in such a hurry? There is so much meat in the porridge today. It would be a pity if we don't finish it."
Situ Yilan slightly raised her eyebrows and said, "You are indeed a veteran."
Wang Wu scratched his neck with the end of the wooden spoon and said with a smile, "You flatter me."
Situ Yilan said, "You have such a good appetite so early in the morning. It seems that you are very confident about today's battle. If everyone can be like you, or …"
She stopped abruptly when she said the word "or".
The lazy smile on Wang Wu's face suddenly disappeared. He looked at her calmly and even coldly and said, "General, or what? Or a miracle? You know, there is no miracle. "
Situ Yilan stared at his eyes coldly. After a moment of silence, she said, "What do you want to say?"
"There is a lot of meat in the porridge today, and even more vegetables … Although the food in the Northern Battlefront Army has always been excellent, it is still too good to be true. It makes me suspicious."
Wang Wu was not afraid of her eyes at all. He calmly said, "Or, this is the last meal before we die, so General wants us to have a good meal?"
Situ Yilan said coldly, "What do you want to say? “
Wang Wu pointed at the Tang soldiers who were silently preparing for the battle in the tent not far away and said, "I know that we will definitely lose today's battle. In fact, many people know it, but they just don't say it." “
Situ Yilan was silent for a long time.
Wang Wu said, "If you think I have shaken the morale of the army, you can kill me on the spot." “
Situ Yilan said, "What I want to know is why you are telling me this." “
Wang Wu said, "Because I want to tell General Xu, the imperial court, and the Academy … I am not reconciled. I don't want to lose. I don't understand why the Northern Battlefront Army would end up like this." “
Situ Yilan said in a low voice, "It is the mission of the Tang soldiers to guard the border for the country. Why are you not reconciled? “
"The question is, why did General Xu send us out of Guhe? Why do we have to fight here? I am not afraid of death, but I don't want to be sent to die. “
Wang Wu suddenly became angry. He threw the wooden spoon into the porridge pot and shouted at Situ Yilan, "The Xiangwan Plain was ceded by the imperial court. The battlefield was chosen by the General's Mansion. Why do you want us to die? Why do you want us to die? You generals, even if you want us to die, can't you win? " “
Situ Yilan reached out her hand to stop her soldiers from drawing out their swords. She was silent for a long time because she did not know how to answer the old soldier's angry question. Yes, the imperial court wanted the Tang Army to keep the enemy out of the border. They would do it even if they had to sacrifice their lives. But the imperial court should at least let them win. Otherwise, how could they die in peace?
"Then what do you want us to do? What do you want us to do?" She looked at Wang Wu and asked in a serious tone.
Wang Wu did not expect to hear such an answer. He was silent for a long time and smiled gloomily. He did not say anything and turned back to his camp.
Situ Yilan looked at his back and did not continue to ask. She had guessed what the young soldier wanted. It was what she wanted too. It was what the entire Northern Battlefront Army and even the Tang Empire wanted.
Wang Wu walked back to his tent and stared at the half bag of hay outside for a long time.
He was a scout, one of the few soldiers in the Northern Battlefront Army who had horses. But two years ago, his horse died outside the City of Wei. Since then, he had never had a chance to have his own mount.
A scout without a mount was worse than a dog. Wang Wu often thought so. In the past two years, he felt that his life was worse than a dog's. If a dog could still bark, what could he do?
Wang Wu kicked away the hay and was about to wash his face. When he saw the pale face in the bucket, he frowned and suddenly began to hate his current mood.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the despair and anger in his heart. He drew out the broadsword he brought from the City of Wei and ordered his subordinates to prepare for the battle.
A scout without a mount … was still a Tang soldier. Even if it was a hopeless battle, he had to fight to the end.
He looked at the Golden Tribe camp in the north and suddenly thought of the City of Wei.
When the City of Wei was massacred by the Golden Tribe cavalry, only a few people escaped, and he was one of them.
After returning to the Northern Battlefront Army, he got a mount again after his identity was verified. Then he lost it again, just like he used to have the City of Wei, but in the end, he lost everything.
Wang Wu often missed the days when he went hunting with General Ma on the grassland. He missed the days when he followed his seniors to the Shubi Lake to kill the horse gangs and rob gold and silver. Those days were gone forever.
Under his indifferent and tired look, there was anger and hatred that had never been extinguished. He always thought about defeating the barbarians on the grassland with the Northern Battlefront Army and taking back the City of Wei.
But it was difficult.
And looking at the situation today, it seemed that that day would never come.
He wanted a warhorse, a handsome one. He wanted to ride it and fight against the enemy. If he had a warhorse and his comrades all had warhorses, then his dream would come true.
This obsession kept tormenting him. Looking at the horses in the Golden Tribe Royal Court, he almost went crazy. At this moment, as long as someone could give him a horse, he would give up all his wealth and even his life. He would even wash the feet of those stinky grassland barbarians and kill them later.
If someone could give him a horse, he would do anything for that person.
Unfortunately, there was no "if".
Wang Wu lowered his head and was about to wash his face. The bloodiest battle in a thousand years would be coming. It would consist of countless battles, and countless people would die. The Northern Battlefront Army might lose, and all the Tang soldiers would die for the country. He did not want to die with dirt on his face and vegetables in his mouth.
The next moment, he suddenly felt dizzy because the water in the basin was shaking. His eyebrows and eyes looked strange in the water. They were not as gloomy as before, but rather funny.
The people of the Golden Tribe Royal Court who were dozens of miles away also felt the shaking. More than a hundred thousand grassland cavalries were preparing for the battle and feeding their horses water. Suddenly, they found that those brave but tame warhorses suddenly became restless. Some of them kept shaking their heads and refused to drink water or eat fodder. Some of them looked somewhere in fear and kicked their front hooves anxiously, as if that was the only way to convince themselves that the shaking was not real, but not something they were most afraid of.
The entire field started shaking. From the City of Wei in the north to the meadow outside Guhe, the wheels of the wagons in the camps of both sides were squeaking. Some soldiers who were not paying attention even lost their balance because of the shaking.
A Da jumped onto the roof of a big car and squinted his eyes to look at the place where the tremor came from. His eyesight was very good and he should be the first one to see the movement over there. Therefore, he was also the first one to be shocked speechless. That childish but proud and cold face was full of disbelief.
Following that, more and more people saw the cause of the tremor. Wu Wu's eyebrows suddenly rose high, and the corners of his lips curled up high. His hands began to tremble, and the wet towel fell into the basin, splashing water everywhere.
Just like him, the scouts inside and outside the camp and the soldiers of the Northern Battlefront Army in the distance all felt the vibration. They looked to the northwest. The camp became dead silent. Everyone was shocked and confused …
But more than that, they were excited and expectant.
The field under the morning sun was very clear. There was no wind, no dust, and the sight was very clear. On the horizon in the northwest, a large dark cloud was moving slowly.
The reason why it was moving slowly was not because the dark cloud was moving too slowly, but because the area covered by the dark cloud was so wide that it gave people an illusion.
The dark cloud quickly flew for more than ten miles and came to the edge of the field near Guhe. Everyone could see clearly that it was not a dark cloud, but a large area of dense smoke and dust!
The smoke and dust were the dust caused by the hooves of the horses!
Countless wild horses were sweeping towards them!
The morning sun reflected the sky red. The warm light entered the smoke and dust, as if the morning glow was plucked from the sky to the ground. The galloping horses seemed to be burning. It was extremely beautiful and dazzling!
No one could count how many wild horses were hiding in the morning glow. No one could figure out how many wild horses could cause such an earth-shattering scene!
People only knew that an unimaginable number of wild horses had suddenly appeared in the world.
These wild horses … were running towards the Tang Army!
The grassland was still silent, so the hooves of the wild horses in the distance became clearer. It fell in everyone's ears like thunder and knocked on everyone's heart.
All the soldiers in the Vanguard Battalion of the Tang Army stopped preparing for the battle. No matter how strict the military discipline was, no matter how strong the spirit was, they could not stop looking at the morning glow and the overwhelming wild horses.
Some Tang soldiers began to rub their eyes, wondering if they were dazzled. They told themselves in their hearts that it must not be. But they still found it unbelievable because the scene was really unbelievable.
Some Tang soldiers did not even blink their eyes, such as Wang Wu. He stared at the wild horses in the morning glow as if he was looking at a little girl in a tavern in the City of Wei. He was afraid that if he blinked, those wild horses would disappear.
Situ Yilan tightly pursed her lips. Her face was a little pale, and her hand holding the hilt trembled. She knew it was not an illusion, but she was not sure that those wild horses were really coming towards the Tang Army. What if … what if the wild horses suddenly ran to the vast grassland in the east and disappeared as suddenly as they came? What if they were just passing by?
The Tang people's feelings were as complicated as their expressions. They were nervous, eager, shocked, worried, and even panicked. They watched the morning glow getting closer and closer, and the wild horses filling the sky getting closer and closer. They became more and more nervous.
The morning glow finally dissipated and returned to dust. The grassland outside Guhe was completely covered by the wind and sand. More than 100,000 warhorses in the tribe of the Golden Tribe neighed in panic. The sunlight was blocked and it was difficult to see clearly.
Situ Yilan closed her eyes and then opened them.
Then she saw a brown wild horse in front of her, looking at her. The brown horse's eyes were full of curiosity like a human baby, extremely pure and innocent.
As the dust gradually settled, the Tang Army cheered. The soldiers' cheers were so loud that it was hard to describe. They even seemed a little crazy, like some kind of cry to vent their emotions!
It was all true.
Those who came to the Tang Army in the morning glow were indeed horses. They were wild horses, countless wild horses.
Those wild horses strolled casually in the Tang Army's camp, as if they were strolling on the grassland. Their long manes fluttered in the morning breeze. They were extraordinarily handsome and their eyes were full of curiosity.
Just like the brown wild horse, it could not understand why the woman in front of it was crying.
The wild horses could not understand why these humans were cheering, why their voices were so hoarse, why they kept rubbing their necks, why they were laughing, and why they were crying.
That was because they did not understand that for the Tang people, their arrival was a real miracle.
For the past ten days, the past year, the past three years … the Tang Empire, from the emperor to the ministers, from the common people to the blood-soaked soldiers, had been praying for a sufficient number of warhorses. But they knew that it was an extravagant hope, because the Xiangwan Plain was gone, and Taoism would not give the Tang Empire a chance.
Seeing that the war that would determine the fate of the entire world was about to begin, people like General Hua Ying, Situ Yilan, and Wang Wu could not help but murmur. They were even willing to sacrifice their lives and dignity to pray for the Tang Empire, who no longer believed in Haotian, to give the Tang Empire a chance.
The Tang Empire needed horses, warhorses.
Haotian seemed to have heard the voices of all the Tang people, as if she had forgotten about their betrayal. She stood in the morning glow and said three words to the quagmire in the depths of the Wilderness.
"We must have horses." “
So the Tang Empire had horses.
…
…
The Tang Army instantly entered a state of ecstasy. In sharp contrast, the dozens of tribes of the Golden Tribe Royal Court were still silent, and all the grassland people looked extremely pale.
The Golden Tribe Royal Court dared to invade the south and start a war with the Tang Empire, and all the tribes followed Chanyu without hesitation. It was all based on one fact: the Tang army was short of horses.
However, just before the war, countless wild horses came from the depths of the grassland. What … what was going on? Where did these wild horses come from? Why did the tribes live in the grassland all year round without knowing about the existence of these wild horses? Which grassland could support so many wild horses?
Some elders of the tribes and a few brave travelers remembered a rumor from decades ago. It was said that in the depths of the West Wilderness, in the swamp where even the wolves did not dare to enter, lived a group of Pegasus who could walk on water and eat clouds. Those Pegasus were the mounts of the Tengri Heaven, but they lived in the human world …
Could it be that the black mass of wild horses in the south was the legendary Pegasus?
If they were the mounts of the Tengri Heaven, why would they go to the Tang Army?
The elders were pale as if they were about to faint. The travelers were trembling, and the warriors of the tribes almost dropped their machetes. The women began to chant in a frightened tone, hoping to get the protection of the Tengri Heaven.
Looking at the overwhelming wild horses in the south, the grassland people suddenly felt that they had been abandoned by the Tengri Heaven.
No one understood why this happened. In the carriage behind them, the national master of the Golden Tribe did not understand either. But he knew that everything had changed. He sighed deeply.
Several priests had been ordered to go to the Golden Tribe. He and the rest of the high priests formed a carriage array. He did not show up on the battlefield because he was afraid of Yu Lian and the Tang Empire. He had been persuading Chanyu not to act so rashly because he felt that the Academy and the Tang Empire would not be so simple. Unfortunately, he failed to persuade them.
The outcome of today's war seemed to have been decided.
But some people did not think so.
Looking at the dusty Tang Army in the south, Chanyu's handsome face was still cold. As the overlord of the grassland, he pushed the Golden Tribe Royal Court to invade the south with great courage. He took the risk of being surrounded by the Tang Army and fought this war head-on because he believed that he could win in the end.
He wanted to avenge his brother. Most importantly, he wanted to rule the entire human world. He wanted his subordinates to become the nobles of every country in the Central Plains. He wanted his descendants to occupy the beautiful mountains and rivers in the south forever. Therefore, he had to win. This was what the Abbey Dean promised him and he promised the Abbey Dean.
Even now, even though he saw countless wild horses galloping over, he still did not lose confidence. To be more precise, other than his expression becoming a little ugly, his will was not affected in the slightest.
General Lebu murmured, "According to the news from Haotian Taoism … the Tengri Heaven disappeared and the Central Plains people are looking for her. Could it be that we disobeyed her will and sent these horses to help the Tang? “
Chanyu's eyes flashed with coldness. He stared at him and said coldly, "Stupid thing. “
Lebu did not dare to argue and left in silence. He thought he knew what Chanyu was thinking … The upcoming field battle on the Guhe Grassland would be a decisive one. The Golden Tribe could not afford to lose, nor could they afford to retreat. Because the cavalry of the Golden Tribe had gone too far to the south and it was too far for them to return home.
Since they could not admit defeat or retreat, they could only fight on. How could they waver the morale of the army at this moment? Lebu understood the reason, so he kept silent when he was scolded as stupid.
"This has nothing to do with morale … The Tang will never win. “
"Why? “
What do the Tangs want, even if they shed blood and kowtow? “
"Horses. “
"Wrong. “
Chanyu looked at the south with a cold and confident expression. "What the Tangs want are not horses, but warhorses." “
Yes. Although Situ Yilan and Wang Wu thought every day that any kind of horse would be good as long as there were horses, in fact, only warhorses were needed for the cavalry.
Warhorses had to be trained for a long time.
But now there was only a herd of wild horses on the grassland …
Wild horses had never seen blood, never been to the battlefield, no saddle, no bridle, how could they ride them? How could they fight?
No one could train tens of thousands of wild horses into warhorses in such a short period of time.
The morning had just arrived, and they were about to go to the battlefield. What else could those wild horses do except to watch?
Hearing Chanyu's words, General Lebu's face suddenly brightened. He was the general in charge of the cavalry of the royal palace. The reason why he did not think of this was that he was stunned by the scene of tens of thousands of horses galloping.
The Golden Tribe Royal Court began to speed up the preparation for the charge. The warhorses, which had been frightened by the wild horses, calmed down a little under the comfort of their masters. They began to put on their leather armors and quiver. However, when they looked at their companions in the south, they still looked a little uneasy and disorderly.
But just as Chanyu's cold and correct judgment, the Tang camp in the south was even more chaotic. The Tang army finally woke up from the ecstasy and tears. Hearing the news from the scouts in the distance, they started to prepare for the battle as fast as they could. But they found that the vanguard camp of the Northern Battlefront Army did not have enough riding equipment … It had been three years without mounts. None of the soldiers in the Northern Battlefront Army had thought of this problem beforehand.
More troublesome things were yet to come. The Tang army found that although the wild horses were relatively friendly to them, they were extremely resistant to being reined in, let alone riding equipment … The Tang camp was full of wild horses galloping everywhere. Their mottled hair was flying everywhere. Some wild horses even knocked over the Tang army and ran away …
Although they could not see what was going on in the Tang camp, they could hear the sounds of chaos and see the smoke and dust that represented chaos. The grassland cavalrymen, who already knew Chanyu's wise judgment, whistled mockingly in the direction of the Tang camp and waved their machetes to show their contempt.
Right at this moment, an extremely unpleasant howl resounded in the world.
The sound was like two rough stones rubbing against each other, but it also sounded like a broken wind box, giving off a feeling of exhaustion. It also sounded like a patient gasping for breath, but it did not stop at all.
The unpleasant neigh pierced through the sky and earth.
The mockery of more than 100,000 grassland cavalrymen of the Golden Tribe Royal Court was forcibly suppressed.
The indignant neigh and strange snorting noises of the wild horses in the Tang camp suddenly disappeared.
Tens of thousands of wild horses seemed to have heard the most terrifying sound. They did not dare to move anymore. They all looked at the place where the neigh came from and raised their necks high, like soldiers waiting to be inspected.
The dust in the northwest of the Wilderness was about to completely settle down.
Something seemed to be coming out from inside.
There were eight divine horses, rarely seen in the mortal world, and they were dragging a shabby carriage.
A black donkey sat in the shabby chariot. Much of the donkey's fur had been peeled off, and it looked rather pitiful. However, its expression was one of contentment. Perhaps it was because it was born with a heroic spirit, or perhaps it was because it was eating grapes and drinking wine.
The black donkey looked down at all the horses in the Wilderness, wild horses and warhorses, like a real king.
The wild horses in the Tang camp lowered their heads.
The warhorses of the Golden Tribe Royal Court were frightened.
Mu You and the Sixth Brother walked out of the camp and toward the broken chariot.
At this time, they saw the big black horse dragging the black chariot behind the broken chariot. It looked happy and fat. It seemed that it had been living well with its elders for the past three years.
Mu You smiled. Because the grassland was too dry, her lips cracked and some blood flowed out.
She and the Sixth Brother saluted the black donkey in the chariot.
The black donkey nodded reservedly and returned the salutation.
The big black horse rushed to Mu You and lowered its head to snuggle in her arms. But it suddenly remembered the guy who only had one arm and forced itself to move away.
Mu You touched its neck.
The big black horse stepped back and bowed to her and the Sixth Brother.
Then, the sound of wheels came from the Tang camp.
Countless carriages came out of the supply camp and came to the Vanguard Camp. The carriages were filled with all kinds of riding equipment and sabers. The Fourth Brother, Fan Yue, was walking in the front.
The disciples of the Academy finally met in the Wilderness.
…
…
The saddle is on the horse's back, the reins are tightened, and the wild horse is calm.
The cavalrymen of the Northern Battlefront Army gently touched the mounts that they used to be familiar with. They sighed with emotion. Their mounts were getting old and left. Only these mounts were still the same. Although they were a bit old, they were still good.
Holding the water, Wang Wu moved closer to his mount and fed it. Looking at this wild horse that was still a little restless, he silently thought in his heart, I will really be your slave for the rest of my life …
Now, let's go kill the enemies.
Yes, let's go kill the enemies.
The cavalrymen of the Golden Tribe Royal Court took the lead and attacked like a tide.
The restless grassland warhorses, under the whipping of their masters and the pain of the spurs, burst out with courage and bravery. They forgot their instinctive fear and started to charge.
The Tang army was much quieter than before.
They did not get on their horses. They led the wild horses … No, from this moment on, they were warhorses. They stepped on the hard soil of the grassland and walked slowly but firmly to the north.
They were the Tang army.
The strongest cavalry in the world had always been invincible.
The warhorses they led had been invincible in the swamp in the north of the West Wilderness for decades.
The cavalrymen of the Golden Tribe Royal Court were strong, but they were nothing in front of them.
Dust covered the sky above the grassland.
Finally, it was time to get on the horses.
Situ Yilan rode on the brown wild horse and slowly drew out her cold saber from the sheath.
She raised the blade and pointed at the grassland cavalrymen.
She was expressionless and did not speak.
The bodyguard beside her suddenly roared angrily.
All the Tang soldiers roared at the same time.
Several years of depression, accompanied by this angry roar, turned into battle intent.
Then it was a silent charge.
It was suffocating and silent charge.
Many cavalrymen of the Northern Battlefront Army were not familiar with charging. However, when they raised their sabers and urged their horses to charge forward, the familiar feeling came back to them.
It was a feeling of invincibility.
Countless clouds of dust cut the grassland. Countless iron streams rushed toward the Golden Tribe.
In a moment, the sound of killing shook the sky.
In the direction of Qilian City.
On the side of Guhe.
All the cavalrymen of the Northern Battlefront Army rushed out of there.
The black iron streams converged toward the Golden Tribe from three directions. If someone could see the grassland from the sky, he would be shocked speechless by this magnificent scene.
The cold wind blew Situ Yilan's hair on her cheeks.
She thought, for victory.
Wang Wu bit his lips, and his eyes were filled with determination.
He thought, for the City of Wei.
Under the flag of the Golden Tribe.
Chanyu looked very pale.
Lebu anxiously urged him to retreat and join the national master at the rear.
Chanyu did not speak. No one knew what he was thinking.
Until now, he finally understood why the national master did not agree with his decision to take the risk.
The Academy … Ning Que … was so cruel.
The Golden Tribe lost.
He knew it clearly.
With a pfft, he spat out a mouthful of blood, swayed, and fell off the horse.
On the meadow of Guhe.
Ning Que put down the binoculars and thought of what he had seen. He was silent.
He handed the binoculars to General Xu Chi.
Xu Chi looked at him and asked, "You have endured for so many years just for today? Don't you think it's risky? “
Ning Que thought for a while and said, "This is the only way." “
Xu Chi said, "If you had given the horses to me earlier, we could still win." “
"But we can't kill them all."
After saying this, he walked down the meadow.
Situ Yilan wanted to win.
Wang Wu wanted to win.
So he wanted to … kill them all.
Therefore, from the very beginning, he wanted to … kill them all.
