The storm is coming

"Brother, I have already inquired about it. This Han army is just a garrison issued by the Han people and a prairie ranger like us. The price I gave you is not low."

Sanger chuckled, "What kind of quality is this Han army? Why did Brother Yang deceive us?"

Yang Min said, "The leader of the Sanger is joking. When have brothers ever deceived everyone..."

Sanger looked at Yang Min with a half-smile, "Is that really true?"

At this time, Mo Shu also spoke, "We are all familiar with this guy. If this Han army can destroy the owl, I'm afraid it's not as unbearable as Brother Yang said!"

"What Brother Mo Shu said is absolutely true. If these Han troops are really what you said, why would you come to our brothers?" Sanger added.

Yang Min said, "Brother, I invited you two here just in case..."

At this time, Sangge and Mo Shu looked at each other and stood up, saying, "In that case, we brothers will not wade into muddy waters..."

With that said, the two of them made preparations to walk out of the house.

Upon seeing this, Yang Min quickly stood up and stopped him, saying, "Brothers, why should you be anxious? Everything can be easily discussed!"

Sanger and the two stopped, "What do you mean by Brother Yang?"

Yang Min showed a troubled expression and stretched out three fingers.

"Add 30%, I will give the two brothers an additional 30%!"

Sanger chuckled, "Thirty percent is too little, at least add 50%!"

Yang Min lowered his head and hesitated.

At this time, Mo Shu said from the side, "I think so, how about a flat price of 600 gold?"

Yang Min cursed secretly in her heart, weighed it for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, "Shan, 600 gold is 600 gold, but the second and third sons have to go all out!"

Sanger laughed and said, "Don't worry, Leader Yang. My brother has long wanted to fight against the Han army. This time we have the opportunity!"

In the blink of an eye, it was three days later.

On the grassland about two miles away from the valley, the horse-thief coalition has been waiting here for a long time!

During this period, they also launched sneak attacks on the Han army, but they were unsuccessful. After several times, these horse thieves simply gave up the plan of sneak attacks and decided to fight head-on with the Han army.

The horse thieves' decision played into Zhang Yue's heart.

He originally thought that the horse thieves would stick to their lair or run away directly, but he didn't expect that they would fight him head-on without knowing whether to live or die.

"God is really helping me!"

When Zhang Yue learned that the horse thief was going to confront him head-on, he began to doubt whether he was the son of luck.

A group of ragtag people actually wanted to confront the Han army. This was completely seeking death.

"Strategically, we must despise the enemy, but tactically we must pay attention to the enemy."

Zhang Yue did not relax his vigilance just yet.

After leading the soldiers to a slightly raised mound about two miles away from the horse thieves, Zhang Yue ordered the soldiers to stop.

"Why did the Han army stop? They saw that there were so many of us and wanted to run away!"

"Don't worry, two brothers. The Han army will not run away. The punishment for fleeing without a fight is very severe. If you want to leave, the Han army will fight us first!"

"Yang Friend, quickly explore the terrain of the battlefield ahead and pay attention to the traps laid by the enemy!"

"promise!"

Yang You led his scout team and rode out to explore the terrain ahead.

"What are the Han troops doing? What are they looking for?" Mo Shu asked.

"This is the Han army exploring the terrain to prevent us from digging traps on the grassland!" Or Yang Min was more familiar with the Han army.

"What should we do, just wait like this?"

"Let's wait and see. If the Han army doesn't take action, we will attack first. With so many men here, why should we be afraid of the Han army." Yang Min looked around with high spirits.

This time I brought 400 cavalry with me. The Han army only had 500 men at one time, and most of them were infantry.

"Damn it, why don't these Han troops move? They are all hungry!"

Yang Min ordered: "Let the brothers eat something first. After filling our stomachs, we will attack!"

"It should have been like this a long time ago!" Sanger muttered.

While talking, he took out the dried meat he brought with him!

He bit hard and opened a piece of dried meat that he carried with him.

The meat was as hard as a rock and had an unpleasant smell.

"This thing tastes terrible. Han Chinese food is better!"

Sanger took a sip of kumiss and finally swallowed the dried meat.

As leaders, they can also have dried meat to eat and kumiss to drink.

But other horse thieves could only take the cheese prepared in advance and some cooked and sun-dried corn balls.

The sharp corn grains stick together and can scratch the fragile mouth if not careful, which can easily lead to infection.

Once an oral infection worsens, in this era, it is tantamount to committing suicide.

Therefore, even though it tastes terrible, they can only close their eyes, chew it carefully, and swallow it slowly.

This is actually good for the horse thieves. Sometimes there is no food to eat. When they are extremely hungry, they can only pick carrion among the dead. When they are extremely thirsty, they can only drink their own urine.

As long as they can survive, they have done countless things that ordinary people would find disgusting even thinking about them.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Yue was able to easily surrender the group of horse thieves who captured Ouhu.

The horse thieves began to eat, and the Han army also began to eat. Although the dry food carried by the Han army was not comparable to what it usually carried when stationed, it was much better than the horse thieves.

What they ate was a kind of flour cake similar to the Guokui of later generations, and each person had a piece of bacon as a side dish.

However, Zhang Yue ordered that he could only eat half a piece of bread because he knew that he must not eat too much before a battle, otherwise his body would easily suffer from strenuous exercise.

"Woo. Woo."

Half an hour later, the horse thieves and the Han army blew the horns almost simultaneously.

"Enter!"

Zhang Yue gave an order, and the lancers did not mount their horses, but led their horses forward slowly.

This is also the norm in cavalry combat. The endurance of war horses is actually not very good, so horse power must be saved.

After the Lancers began to take action, the assault cavalry commanded by Li Si also began to take action. Their task was to protect the two wings of the Lancers.

When the Han army moved, the horse thieves also began to move.

"Boys, come to me!" Yang Min ordered.

Sangge and Mo Shu led more than 300 horse thieves and rushed towards the Han army with roars and excitement. Even Yang Min, who was responding from the rear, was also immersed in excitement and excitement.

They did not save on horse power. In their opinion, 300 cavalry versus 80 cavalry, and they were dealing with a miscellaneous Han army, could not be defeated no matter what.

The horse thief who rushed at the front held a meteor hammer in his hand and had a ferocious look on his face.

This kind of meteor hammer is a weapon with an angular shape and a hollow center, connected in series with bronze chains.

It was the standard equipment of the Huns' heavy cavalry, and it was one of the few weapons that the Huns could fight in close combat with the Han army without suffering any losses.

Zhang Yue guessed that there should be a large number of Huns mixed among these horse thieves.

This time Zhang Yue guessed well. In fact, most of the horse thieves in the Monan area were supported by the Huns. Their role was to harass the Han army's border gates and destroy the Han army's farms.

"Mount!"

When the distance between the two sides was about 400 paces, the lancers mounted their horses and began to trot.

"Run!"

As the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, the spearmen gradually increased their speed, arranged in a dense and neat formation, and rushed towards the horse thieves like a wall.
