Another dawn on the grassland descended on this world, and the blood-red morning sun rose. Everything seems to be no different from the past, but God has destined today to be different from the past. A furious slaughter will stain the silent forest as blood-stained as it is now.

Yun Ao was woken up by the noise in a daze, and opened his eyes that were sleeping soundly. Only then did I realize that the smoke of cooking had risen in the camp, and the smell of boiled noodles slowly drifted away with the faint mist. A red sun had not yet crossed the treetops, and Bayan rubbed his body with hot wine last night, and sure enough, he slept well. I didn't even have a dream, I sat up and got out of the tent. I waved a few punches and kicks casually, and I felt that my whole body was full of strength.

"Childe is awake, I'm going to let you sleep for a while. Wait until breakfast is ready to wake you up. "Bayan has already put on his armor, and last night he ordered the people to take turns to stand sentry. I thought that those rebels would come and attack at night, but it turned out to be a big surprise. The rebels had no intention of harassing them in the slightest, if it weren't for the fact that they had seen traces of a large number of people moving yesterday. Bayan would have thought the scout was in the wrong place.

"My father said that the barracks was not a comfortable place. It is necessary to share weal and woe with the soldiers, and the generals do not wear an umbrella in winter and summer. How can he be like Yun Yan, covering like a bear. Yun Ao looked down on the weak Yun Yan very much, and often made him a baby in private.

"The second son is different from the eldest son, you live in the grassland and have experienced the tempering of wind and frost. The second son grew up in the garden, and I heard that the lady in Chang'an only taught him to read and did not let him ride a horse to shoot hunting. Man! It's just that you should be the hero right away, and you can't even ride a horse, so how can you do it? ”

Although he has lived in Han with Yunxiao for a long time, the thinking of the Huns is imprinted in his bones. Asking for life on horses has been deeply ingrained in the bones of every Hun person. Yun Ao has lived around this group of people since he was a child, and it is a fantasy not to be affected.

I took some water from the kettle handed by the guard to wash my face, and the water in the kettle was cold. Splashed on the face, it was like thousands of steel needles piercing into the flesh. Yun Ao felt that every pore was closing in an instant. His face seemed to be on fire, and it hurt hotly.

After tidying up his wet hair, Bayan had already filled a bowl of steaming noodles. "Childe, there's nothing better than eating a hot meal this winter." The rice bowl was covered with a layer of beef, and there were actually two slices of green vegetables hanging on it. This Bayan is really stammering, and it is rare that such a place can actually find wild vegetables that are still green.

Yun Ao fruit rice bowl. Snoring and eating noodles. Not to mention, the noodles in this wilderness seem to be more delicious than those steamed lambs and steamed bear's paws in the palace. Yun Ao sighed while eating to cool his tongue. After a while, a bowl of noodles disappeared.

As soon as the sun had passed over the treetops, the five thousand soldiers and horses had already begun to pack their tents with breakfast.

Dexue Chan's subordinates also had breakfast in Zhangluo, a very hearty meal. Hand-grilled mutton with a lot of salt in it. There are a bunch of wild pickled onions and various dried fruits on the grassland, since the Donghu people have already found them. and no longer scruples. The smoke from the campfire rose high. seems to be telling those Donghu generals that Lao Tzu is here to come over.

In the past, the tribe rarely had such luxury, but it was important that every warrior was fed in the run-up to the Great War. This is not the time to skimp on food.

I watched the young men crawl out of the girls' tents and gather around the iron pot with joy. Dexue Chan also smiled, whenever the big war came. The boys would go to find the girl they liked for the night, and usually the girls would not refuse.

These boys work very hard, and if they die tomorrow, they may be left with the only blood in this world. So most of the year after each major war. The tribe will be full of girls with big bellies. A child as strong as a calf came to this world with the war.

Maybe it was because of the deficit last night. The lads are very good at eating. Today, Dexue Chan ordered 200 sheep to be killed, and only the living will live. It is of no use for a dead man to ask for so many cattle and sheep. If the battle is defeated, it will be cheaper for those Donghu people.

There were no impassioned speeches, and no girls sent them off with tears. The lads were full and took up arms, and Dexue Chan took a sip of mare's milk wine. Look at the red sun that has just crossed the treetops. Only one sentence was said: "Go!" Two thousand figures followed him into the forest.

Here, Yun Ao also reorganized the military horses, and the five thousand most elite Donghu cavalry rode on their war horses. Today they are going to fight for honor, exchanging the heads of their enemies for supreme military merit. In the future, he will be a big soldier, or he will be a captain in the future. It's up to this battle.

The roaring sound of horses' hooves gradually stopped, and Yun Ao reined in the war horse under his crotch. Everyone had reached the edge of the woods, and in the distance they could already see the smoke rising from the distance. This is a provocation, a provocation against the Donghu knights.

"Dismount!" Bayan shouted violently, and all the Donghu knights jumped off their horses.

"Bayan, this is ......!" Yun Ao was a little puzzled.

"Childe, the power of cavalry lies in charging and cavalry shooting. But this is a forest, how can it rush up, and it can't maneuver. Only dismounting and foot fighting is the right thing! "Bayan had already thought about it last night, and riding into the forest would be a nightmare for cavalry. Dexue Chan has no family background, a tribe of more than 10,000 people. It is good enough to be able to produce two or three thousand strong soldiers, and he himself will bring four thousand men in. The remaining 1,000 people are outside to protect Gongzi, as long as this ancestor does not have an accident. The battle on the battlefield is a sure win.

"Oh, I am. I will dismount and fight with you on foot. Yun Ao also jumped off his leg. Bayan was very helpless, what kind of mess was the ten-year-old doll doing. On your body, you still don't let people chop into mashed meat?

But I can only think about it, and I definitely don't dare to say it. The ten-year-old doll is in a rebellious period, you say that the east is not to the west, what can you do to me?

"Childe, it's better for you to take the men and horses outside the woodland to take care of the baggage. When you go into the woods, you will be assigned guards to protect you. If you make any mistakes, Master Hou will not peel off the skin of the last general. You can be considerate of some of us and just be out there. In the end, Bayan was stunned and begged. This made Yun Ao very helpless, looked at his little arms and legs, and felt that he was adding chaos when he went in.

"Okay, I'll wait here for your triumphant return."

Bayan was overjoyed and hurriedly arranged a thousand people. Carrying the commander by the neck, he explained, "No matter what happens, absolutely protecting the son is the first priority." Lao Tzu did not come out, and resolutely forbade the son to enter the forest. Childe broke a piece of oily skin and took your head on top of it. ”

That thousand men pouted, what the hell is this errand. If you don't let you go into battle to kill the enemy and make military achievements, you can forget it, and let yourself look at such a master. He has long legs, do you dare not listen to him? But Bayan's explanation did not dare to disobey, so he had to nod his head and agree.

After repeatedly explaining the commander, Bayan stood at the front of the line. "Brethren, riches are in this forest. The head of the enemy army is what the military wants, come with Lao Tzu! With that, he turned and went into the woods.

In a word, the Donghu knights are enthusiastic, and Donghu is also the most famous for military exploits. If you want to get ahead, you can only get military merits. The knights' eyes were red when they heard Bayan's words. He took up his saber and rode his spear, and followed.

Some people say that the forest is dark, but this is definitely not a winter forest. In winter, the forest is rarely full of birdsong, and the yellow leaves are stacked in a thick layer. Walking up, there is no sense of steadiness on the feet. There were a few stumps of dead leaves hanging from the bare branches, which crackled when the wind blew them. Occasionally, there is a huge nest or two of old bustards hanging from the branches, swaying with the cold wind.

Only the tall pines remained, with a touch of green. More or less, it gives this withered yellow forest a touch of vitality.

Bayan put a team of 1,000 men at the front, and the group was spread out. They were followed by two thousand-man teams. And so, after the enemy in front. The first time, you can get the strongest response. And he himself, with a team of 1,000 as a defender.

This formation is almost impeccable, and any general who first comes to fight in the forest will adopt such a formation, which can be attacked, retreated, and defended.

The knights of Donghu brandished their sabers and kept cutting off the branches that stood in their way. It's dangerous in the winter, if you scratch it in the face. Maybe there's a bloody cut.

Yun Ao sat bored on the baggage carriage and watched as the four thousand Donghu knights walked into the forest. Until the last figure disappeared, there was no intention of coming down. Just stand up and try to make yourself taller. It seems that in this way, you can see the long-awaited battlefield.

The knights walked carefully, stepping on the floppy foliage with every step. His eyes are like those of a falcon, observing every move around him. Even the tiniest twig of a tree branch will attract the aim of the archers behind it.

Perhaps because of the murderous aura, the rabbits, foxes and roe deer that occasionally appeared in the winter were gone. Even the bustards in the sky flew far away and did not stay in this forest.

Every step forward can be called a frightening step, the further you go into the forest. The round shield in his hand unconsciously raised higher, and his eyes when he looked at the forest were sharper.

After walking for what seemed like a long time, one of the knights swallowed with difficulty. The cooing sound was scary, and the robe next to him looked the same as him. Anyone knows that the further you go inside, the more likely you are to run into a rebel. Of course, the goal of the march was the fireworks that were rising. It's really hard to find, a more obvious target than that.

Dexue Chan seemed to have a deliberate provocation, and the intermittent fireworks never stopped. As if mocking the Donghu knights, they hovered in the sky. The knights seemed to smell the hand-grilled lamb. (To be continued......)
