Thanks to gz2f22 for the tip!

Thank you for the reward of the gentleman and the prince who goes up every day!

"In terms of time, the Second Legion should have arrived at the Green Ridge Fortress!

"Summoning Shoucheng, this time the operation is mainly an attack, and it is up to him to decide what to do!

"Command!" Xun Yu promised.

Soon after the Great Wei conscripted troops to the Green Ridge Fortress, the Guishan side got the relevant information, but the Guishan side was even tougher, because they had reached an armistice agreement with the Jin State, and the Jin State army had been scattered twenty miles from Nisa, and there was another reason, the Guishan people had been haunted by the defeat a few years ago!

They generally believed that the defeat in that war was only caused by the rebellion of the Thirteen Western Provinces, and that if it hadn't been for that rebellion, they would have been destroyed and entered the Western Regions, and now that they were unprecedentedly strong, they didn't think that there was anyone else in this world who was their opponent.

Emperor Vesudeva I of Kushan ordered the transfer of 100,000 elites from the Xizhen Army to the Luti Fortress, another 50,000 elites from the Dongzhen Army to the Luti Fortress, and at the same time transferred 100,000 of the 200,000 servant troops under Shuksa to Yue Kefeng.

In this way, the total number of troops under Yue Kefeng's command will reach an astonishing scale of nearly 900,000, and the total number of troops that the Wei army will put into the war will be about 700,000, which will be the largest battle in the history of mankind, and it will also be the first battle between great empires in history!

Such an imperial war suddenly kicked off in such a situation where neither side was fully prepared.

The military mobilization of the Guishan side was fed back to Cao Cao at the first time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Guishan has gathered 900,000 troops around the Luti Fortress, and a big battle is inevitable, and this will be a major war of unprecedented scale, and it is also the largest war in the history of my Great Wei's foreign expedition!"

Cao Cao looked a little excited, and the five cabinet ministers standing under His Highness were also very excited.

"In view of the unprecedented scale of this battle, I have to be cautious, and I have decided to take the battle in person!"

None of the four objected to Cao Cao's decision.

"Your Majesty, in view of the current situation, should you tell General Shoucheng not to attack without authorization?" Xun Yu suggested.

Cao Cao thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "No, Shoucheng is a veteran of the battlefield, wise and brave, he knows what to do, we don't have to interfere too much in his actions!" ”

"Yes."

"Zhicai, this time, you go with me!" Xi Zhicai couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately surrendered his promise.

Cao Cao smiled and told the other four: "After I leave, you and others will be fully responsible for internal affairs!" ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry!" The four of them made a promise together.

Early the next morning, Cao Cao issued an edict to the imperial court to decide to drive the expedition in person, half a day later, Cao Cao led five thousand imperial forest troops to set off, followed by Cao Cao to go on the expedition with Dian Wei, Yan Yan, Xu Chu, Xi Zhicai, the people who heard the news almost filled the entire West Street, people cheered, very excited, the scene was like welcoming the triumphant division, the soldiers of the city defense battalion to maintain order used their strength to eat milk to block the people out.

Green Ridge Fortress.

Ma Teng and a group of generals gathered in front of the sand table to discuss the military.

"General, now the Guishan army will definitely not expect us to take the initiative to attack, so it is better to knock him hard!" Ma Chao suggested.

Ma Teng thought for a moment, "Yes! Meng Qi, how many people do you need? ”

"10,000 Hun Iron Horsemen!"

Ma Teng nodded and advised: "But you must remember that you must leave with one blow, and you can't fight!" ”

"The last general understands!" Ma Chao hugged his fist at Ma Teng and walked down quickly.

Ma Chao returned to his big tent with Ma Teng's arrow in his hand, and at this time, several of Ma Chao's generals were whispering something in the big tent.

Seeing Ma Chao coming in, they saluted him together!

Ma Chao nodded, sat down on the main seat, and asked, "What were you talking about just now?" ”

Ma Tie arched his hand and said, "We are discussing the matter of His Majesty's personal conquest!" ”

Ma Chao glanced at the few people who were eager to try, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to be appreciated by His Majesty in this battle?" ”

A few people laughed.

Ma Chao said: "Don't think about these things all day long, soldiers just need to think about how to fight the battle well!" ”

Several people's hearts sank, and they agreed in unison.

Ma Chao said to Ma Tie: "Ma Tie, this is the transfer order issued by General Ma, you immediately take it to the Huns to transfer 10,000 elite horsemen!" ”

The eyes of several people lit up, and Ma Tie asked excitedly: "General, is there a mission?" ”

Ma Chao nodded, Ma Tie excitedly agreed, took the arrow from Ma Chao's hand, and immediately went out of the big tent.

Two quarters of an hour later, 10,000 elite Huns gathered outside the horse's tent, and 10,000 did not make a single noise, as quiet as a deep pool of sweat, and there was a very uncomfortable feeling standing in front of them.

Ma Chao glanced at the cavalry in front of him, and couldn't help but secretly admire, "The Hun cavalry really deserves to be one of the elite troops of my Great Wei, and this momentum alone is enough to make people look up!" ”

Ma Chao stepped onto his peerless horse and raised his voice to the soldiers: "The battle order has been issued, you will attack with me!" ”

The eyes of the 10,000 elite horsemen lit up almost at the same time, and a fierce shout came out, and the monstrous battle intent surged out.

Ma Chao led the 10,000 Huns to ride out of the fortress, and each of them carried a month's worth of food.

It should be explained here that the military food carried by these cavalry is not the military food in the traditional sense, but a special meat floss, this kind of meat floss is made of the fine meat of the cow through a complex process, which can condense the fine meat of a whole cow into a mass with a diameter of about half a foot, when eating, only need to grab a pinch of meat floss, put it into a bowl of water and cook, you can get a bowl of fragrant broth, and when the war is urgent, you can also directly eat the meat floss, which saves the trouble of cooking.

This kind of thing is actually a bit old, it first appeared in the Mongolian army after the Song Dynasty, it can be said that this kind of military food that can be eaten quickly has created the myth of the Mongolian army.

After Ma Chao led 10,000 iron horsemen out of the Green Ridge Fortress, he did not go towards the Luti Fortress, but went straight to the north.

A day later, a border pit a hundred miles north of the Ruti Fortress. This is the border between Guishan and Kangju, but because beyond the pass is the death grassland that people talk about, so there are not many defenders here, and the total number of officers and soldiers is only 5,000.

"Kazan, how are you listless?" A sentry asked his companion with a grim face.

The companion yawned and said proudly, "Hey, the pretty widow yesterday was so enthusiastic!" ”

"Hehe, I can't pay you back! You're not going to throw all of yesterday's money away from her, are you? ”

"This one seems to be!"

At this moment, the sentry in charge of the gap suddenly said, "It seems that someone is coming!" ”

The two soldiers, who were gossiping, immediately looked out of the pass, and sure enough, they saw a caravan coming this way. One of them said indifferently: "It must be those smugglers again!" These businessmen really don't want their lives for money! ”

A moment later, a caravan of more than 100 people came to the pass. (To be continued.) )
