Li Hong looked at the endless grassland outside the camp, and said with a smile: "Marshal, won't the army leave in the morning, and the enemy will touch the door in the afternoon, right?" ”

Murong Feng glanced at him casually, "You're not afraid?" ”

Li Hong shook his head and grinned at Murong Feng, "The handsome man is clever, how could there be such a big mistake." Reinforcements must have arrived. ”

Murong Feng couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard him say so sure, "You are probably really an idiot." On the battlefield, we rely on those scouts to spy on information, and their personal bravery and resourcefulness are directly related to the truth and accuracy of military information, but people make mistakes. At this time, it is not impossible for the enemy to suddenly appear near Yeyan Wai. ”

Murong Feng beckoned to the herald and shouted, "Order everyone to prepare enough dry food for two days and prepare to retreat." ”

"Dashuai, it's not true, is it?" Although Li Hong saw that Murong Feng had given the order, he still didn't believe it.

A scout galloped over with a hundred long horses, "Great Shuai, there is an army of the Tiger Tribe five miles away from here, about 3,000 cavalry. ”

"Why did you find out now?" Murong Feng asked with some reproach. The scout bowed his head in shame and did not answer.

"Let's go again. Be careful not to be detected. We retreated immediately, and your men followed. Murong Feng then said in a relatively relaxed tone. The scout was so impressed that he bowed down on his horse and rode away.

"The handsome man is so good to his subordinates." Li Hong stood next to him and said softly from the heart.

Murong Feng laughed, "The leopard's flattery skills are getting better and better. ”

"Really." Li Hong said, "I've been with you for so long, and I've never seen you blame your subordinates." ”

"By whom do you fight? Soldiers. It is precisely because of their accumulated white bones that I have achieved the prestige of my Murong Feng today. What right do I have to reproach them? Without them, I would have been a white bone long ago. ”

Li Hong listened silently and remembered it in his heart.

"I want to thank you too." Murong Feng looked at Li Hong and said, "Never leave my brother behind." You're right, you're right. In the past, I always thought that sacrificing small profits on the battlefield to protect big profits was a matter of course, but now it seems to be wrong. Sometimes, I would rather give up my big profits, but also keep my faith and people's hearts, and you do this better than me. ”

Murong Feng said with emotion as he made a retreat gesture to a hundred elders who ran over to ask for instructions. Immediately a long horn for retreat sounded in the camp.

Li Hong suddenly saw a huge eagle in the sky. It was the first time Li Hong had seen such a big eagle. He cried out like a child, "Eagle, eagle." Look, that eagle is so big. ”

Murong Feng couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and laughed, "You idiot, I really obeyed you." He beckoned to the heralds in the distance again, "Tell them not to retreat and prepare to meet the warriors of the Eagle Tribe." ”

"Is it the old wolf's clan?"

"Yes." Murong Feng said as he walked over on his horse, "Back then, there were three Eagle Tribes. My sworn brother Teken is a three-part marshal. Although we were defeated by Helian in the Running Bull Plain, the Eagle Tribe still has strength, and the Eagle Tribe on the Eagle's Beak Cliff is the most powerful Xianbei Hero. King Tanshihuai took the iron cavalry of the Eagle Tribe, swept the hometown of the Huns, and defeated the Hun army in Yanran Mountain. ”

"It's a pity that such a good iron horseman, a brave and invincible iron horseman, did not die on the battlefield, but let the villain Helian die on the bull running plain." Murong Feng sighed.

"The big handsome will take revenge soon." Li Hong comforted, "Happiness and enmity are a happy thing in life, and the handsome should be happy." Then he looked at the great eagle that was soaring in the sky, and shouted again.

"This big eagle was raised by the Eagle tribe Marshal Tie Ao, and it has been around for years. An old friend came in person, and I should pick it up. Murong Feng greeted Li Hongdao. Li Hong happily agreed and ran to help Murong Feng prepare the horse.

"Let's go, come with me to pick up old friends. It really scared me out just now. This old guy still plays this trick. Murong Feng flew on his horse and took the lead in running out of the camp.

Murong Feng rode a red horse, followed by several attendants. Li Hong rode a black panther and followed closely behind Murong Feng's horse. After walking about three miles, I saw an iron horse rushing towards me in the distance. At the front of the procession was a large black eagle flag.

The cavalry contingent suddenly and uniformly stopped on the steppe. The instantaneous transformation from movement to stillness made Li Hong on the horse stunned. Such excellent riding skills and tacit understanding of war horses can not be trained in a short period of time. This shows the strong combat effectiveness of this iron horse, no wonder the marshal was full of praise for this iron horse just now.

A tall black horse suddenly galloped out of the eagle flag.

Murong Feng raised his hand from afar and shouted, "Brother Tieao......"

"Haha, old madman......"

The two urged the horses again and again. When they got closer, they flew off their horses almost at the same time, and hugged each other tightly.

"In the first battle of Benniuyuan, I regret not listening to the persuasion of my big brother, and as a result, the whole army was wiped out, causing huge losses to the Eagle Clan, I, Murong Feng, am sorry for you."

"Crazy, that's too much of an outrage. You are a good brother of Tiegen, and you are also my good brother, you led the rebellion for the sake of brotherhood, and speaking of which, it is our Eagle Tribe who owes you. Tie Ao took Murong Feng's hand and said emotionally.

The two of them walked as they spoke, and slowly came to the front of the three thousand iron horsemen. Someone in the ranks shouted, "Dismount." With a bang, all the horsemen were already standing beside their horses, as if they had been standing there all along.

Tie Ao roared: "Salute the handsome!" There was another sound, but this time there was more of the clash of weapons, but it still couldn't reduce its invincible momentum in the face. All the soldiers, including Tie Ao, knelt down on one leg to show their loyalty and respect for Murong Feng.

Murong Feng's eyes moistened.

Back then, for the sake of brotherhood, he resolutely gave up everything and led his troops to rebel. Although he was defeated, he won the respect of the entire Xianbei tribe for himself, and was supported by thousands of tribes, either explicitly or implicitly, isn't this the same as the leopard swearing not to abandon his brothers? If the leopard hadn't desperately saved Duan Zhen that day, he would not have been able to suddenly trust and love this little Han man. The leopard is right, the hearts of the people cannot be lost, otherwise the Xianbei country will lose its cohesion and lose the strength to compete for the world.

"Dashuai, this kid is the Han who saved Duan Zhen's life?" Tie Ao interrupted Murong Feng's contemplation and asked suddenly. In public, Tie Ao didn't dare to call Murong Feng a "madman" casually, but shouted handsome with everyone.

Murong Feng smiled and nodded, his favorite expression overflowing, "He is very smart and studious, and he is honest, but he has a relatively stubborn temperament." ”

"Do you like him so much because you see him as if you were when you were young? I heard Duan Zhen say that you are very fond of him. ”

Murong Feng laughed and looked back at Li Hong, who had been staring at the eagle in the sky stupidly, "He is like when I was young?" I don't think so. I was much more handsome than he was then, and smarter than he is now. As he spoke, he exchanged glances with Tie Ao, and the two laughed.

"How are Duan Zhen and those wounded soldiers?"

"Rest assured, they enjoy the best of the Eagle's Beak Cliff."

"Thank you, old friend."

"When will the war begin?"

"It's coming. Soon we will be able to give the Long Deer Pig a taste of the Black Hawk Iron Rider. ”

"I don't know if Ke Ji fled to Que Ju. I can't take this opportunity to kill Ke Ji, I'm sorry for the dead Tiegen and the warriors of our Eagle Tribe. ”

Murong Feng looked at Tie Ao's face that had turned black because of the wind and frost, and did not make a sound. He didn't think so.

The next day, the cavalry of the Xianya tribe, the Dead Mountain tribe, the West Wolf tribe, the Likun tribe, and the Sumu tribe rushed to Yeyanwei. More than 8,000 riders gathered in this meadow, which was crowded and very lively. The dense cowhide tents are arranged in a neat and orderly manner, and from a distance, they look like newly grown gray mushrooms on a green field. New and old friends gathered together, eating horse meat, drinking mare's milk, and the gods of the north and south. The leaders of the various departments gathered in Murong Feng's big tent to talk about old feelings and discuss the battle situation.

Li Hong has been staying in the Black Eagle Tribe. Tieao probably loves the relationship between Wu and Wu, and likes Li Hong, a Han man who still has an innocent atmosphere, very much. Seeing that he loved his eagle very much, he was very happy, and ordered his youngest son Tieguo to take him to play with eagles and yo-yo horses. Tieguo is in his twenties, which is the age of blood and energy. He saw that Li Hong had always looked at himself and played with the eagle with admiration and envy, and his vanity was greatly satisfied.

"It's called the Iron Mouth, and it's a fetish of our tribe. It also helps us to see the enemy when we are fighting. ”

Li Hong was amazed, and he liked this iron-beaked condor very much.

"Do you still have anything in your tribe?"

"This kind of artifact can be encountered but not sought, and one of them has already caused a sensation in the Xianbei clan. And also? And our people will make a fortune, and they will exchange him for thousands of cattle, sheep, and wild horses. ”

Li Hong smiled embarrassedly as if he was stupid.

"Your iron cavalry is majestic, and the first Xianbei is indeed worthy of its name." Li Hong saw that he had no chance to get close to the big eagle, so he had nothing to say.

As soon as Tie Guo heard this, he came to his senses, and immediately told Li Hongda about the glorious history of the Black Eagle Iron Horse. Li Hong listened energetically, and interjected from time to time to ask questions.

Murong Feng received the latest news in the evening.

The black leopard replied that after initial contact with Helian's army, it had moved in the direction of the Black Sun Forest, but Helian seemed to be very hesitant to pursue, and was still stationed in the same place Barking Creek, without moving.

Iron Wolf Gongsun Hu Duan Song replied that the army was set up in a formation 40 miles away from Jutun to block the attack, but after a little contact, Que Ju immediately withdrew to Jutun, resulting in the failure of the plan to block the enemy. They asked the marshal for instructions on what to do next.

Yuwen sent someone to report it. He had already arrived at Pizitai near Dayan Mountain according to the order of the Great Marshal and met with the 10,000 iron horsemen of the Xianbei Red Sun Tribe in the west. The commander of the army was the eldest son of Lord Luoluo, who had already moved towards the Wuchu in the direction of the water according to the orders of the commander.

Monrizhe of the Ming tribe led his troops past the Pegasus and was moving in the direction of Pizitai.

Micah of the Hundred Battles Tribe has already led an army of 10,000 to cross the river and join the armies of the two tribes of the Golden Eagle and the Black Eagle, and the direction of movement may be Morning Star Plain. The 1,000 troops of Murong Feng, the subordinate of Murong Ji of the Golden Eagle Tribe, were already stationed there.
