In the camp thirty miles away from Shouchun City.

Zhang Xun is not a reckless person after all.

After letting the tired Qingqi camp move forward for another twenty miles, they began to set up camp at the same place for rest and recuperation.

At the same time, we are waiting for the arrival of troops recruited from various counties.

Even though Liangshou Chuncheng's meager troops did not dare to take the initiative to go out of the city to intercept his Qingqi battalion.

The entire Shouchun City can afford a hundred war horses, which is enough to be lucky enough.

How could he be the opponent of his 500 light cavalry battalion?

But since we already have a huge advantage, it is always right to do it more safely.

Zhang Xun only needs to wait until 20,000 troops gather here.

Then push it straight across, and Shouchun City can be destroyed immediately.

In fact, Zhang Xun has a clear mind.

As for the so-called 20,000 elite soldiers, it would be nice if those counties did not stuff themselves with the old, weak, sick and disabled to make up the number.

Now everyone knows that the building will collapse.

How could the elites in their respective counties be easily mobilized just because of a word from the emperor?

It’s hard to say whether the county guards are still in the same boat or not.

These are troubled times.

It is very important who has more people and who has more people.

As long as you are rich enough, you can get a better treatment even if you join other forces.

In today's Yangzhou, it is extremely difficult to recruit so many people from various counties.

Fortunately, there are fewer defenders in Shouchun City.

So even if all the people here are old men and old ladies, just by spitting on one person, they have a great chance of winning (nonsense).

After all, twenty thousand against one thousand is a huge advantage. It’s like a strong man bullying a toddler who is babbling.

"Report!"

A scout ran into the big tent to report.

"Say."

"The spies ahead reported that the south gate of Shouchun was wide open, and more than a thousand infantry and hundreds of horses came out of the city!"

"What? How many?" Zhang Xun picked his ears, thinking he heard wrongly.

More than a thousand infantry have been reported in the intelligence. Where did this large number of horses come from?

"About four hundred horses. Most of them are horses." The scout replied seriously.

"Where did Shouchun City come from so many war horses?" Zhang Xun muttered subconsciously.

This number is almost the same as my own Qingqi battalion.

It is estimated that there are hundreds of stallions among them that can be used for fighting.

Qima is more suitable for camel transport.

Of course, it is not impossible to fight on horseback, but it will not give you an advantage against a normal-sized cavalry.

For his light cavalry battalion with 500 war horses, it is still not a threat enough.

But he can barely be regarded as an opponent.

He was surprised that the other party dared to come out and fight with him.

The scout obviously didn't know how to answer this question.

Their spies have just been sent out not long ago, and they haven't yet figured out the situation in Shouchun City.

Zhang Xun didn't expect the other party to be able to answer.

"Send some more people to explore the front to see if they have the confidence to leave the city."

Zhang Xun felt that the more than a thousand people were probably bait.

Otherwise, why not hide in the city and run out to die?

Maybe he saw that there were few people on the other side, so he led the light cavalry battalion to attack first.

You will encounter an ambush set by other forces on the way.

Yes.

Zhang Xun has now begun to wonder if someone else gave the Shouchun defenders enough courage.

That’s why we dared to run out of the city with more than a thousand people.

In order to seek stability now, he will naturally not attack easily.

Shouchun boldly sent out troops, which further strengthened his idea to wait until 20,000 elite soldiers gathered before setting off.

He didn't believe that on this vast plain,

Who is so powerful that they can bury an ambush in the ground that can kill 20,000 people?

Could it be that the ground mouse is reincarnated?

In a place with a wide view, it is amazing to hide thousands of people by digging holes.

Coupled with the traps and hidden thorns, it can indeed pose a threat to the small number of cavalry.

But for the 20,000 infantry advancing together, it was just a step away.

When Zhang Xun was sitting firmly in the Chinese military tent.

Jiang Yan has led the horses and left the city amid the respectful greetings of the soldiers and civilians.

Shu Shao, the prefect who hurried over, personally handed the banner embroidered with the word "jiang" to Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan placed the flagpole horizontally on Lu’s butt.

He won't be able to use it until later.

Instead, he moved a leather bag filled with carefully selected sharp stones on his horse in front of him.

Today he might as well be a daytime pitcher again.

Under the leadership of Jiang Yan.

One hundred stallions with powerful charging power lined up in front, and three hundred slower horses followed.

In fact, when it comes to running short distances, mares are no slower than stallions.

But when it comes to explosive power and long-distance running, a stallion with tall legs and long legs still has the advantage.

After exiting the south gate of Shouchun, there is an unobstructed view of the plain.

At this time, it was clear that the sky was bright, but the sky was a little dark.

It’s a bit of a sign that a storm is coming.

The horses galloped for a long time.

Among the low hills ahead, Jiang Yan could faintly see some figures on horseback.

They look like Zhang Xun's scouts.

Unfortunately it is spring and the wind is blowing from the northeast.

Otherwise, Jiang Yan would have followed the wind and smelled the odor of the opponent's horse.

But it’s okay.

There are not many scouts wandering in the distance.

Their movement has not been detected yet.

When there are still several miles away.

Jiang Yan then ordered the horses to slow down and minimize the noise caused by the movement.

In this way, it is not easy for scouts wandering in the distance to detect their actions.

Then he ordered Jueying and Xiaobai to continue moving forward at a constant speed with their stallions and horses.

Jiang Yan drove Lu himself and took the initiative to attack in front of the horses.

He was going to use stones to name the scouts who were wandering alone outside.

Because there are many low hills ahead, the field of vision is wider than the plains.

The scouts were patrolling the nearby hills.

Jiang Yan has one person and one horse, but the goal is not obvious.

And Lu is very fast.

Under Jiang Yan's advance judgment, he stepped in from the intersection of the scouts' eyes on the hills on both sides.

The small mound of soil, only two or three people high, became a barrier for Jiang Yan to hide.

Jiang Yan, who was hiding under the mound, quietly turned into a horse.

Not only have the eyes become big eyes, but they can also observe from a wider angle.

And you can split the lens up and down, with the top being close and the bottom being far.

From the perspective of using sight, it is much better than the human eye.

In just a moment, Jiang Yan figured out the defense switching patterns of several nearby scouts.

Maybe it was because he felt that Shouchun City's military strength was weak and he didn't dare to send too many scouts out to die.

These enemy scouts are not so cautious.

While a scout was running away in a regular pattern.

He attacked from below and threw out the stones in his hand.

Sharp stones shot out like arrows.

Knock down the scout who just turned around and knock him off his horse.

A finger-long stone sank directly into the opponent's strong forehead bone, and his brain was already damaged.

It can be seen that Jiang Yan has strong wrist strength and accurate precision.

When the scout fell, his mount was frightened and was about to neigh.

But when he met Jiang Yan's cold eyes, an invisible pressure enveloped him.

The war horse trembled all over, then stopped and lowered its head, making a show of surrender.

It turns out that "horse king's domineering spirit" has such a use.

Jiang Yan took back the stone he wanted to knock the horse's head out in time and pondered for a moment.

But it should only work when facing ordinary horses alone.

If it were a battle on the battlefield, both men and horses would be in an excited and crazy state.

I'm afraid it's of little use.

Jiang Yan gave the other party a "go over there" look.

The timid war horse immediately headed north as if it had been granted amnesty.

That was the direction Jiang Yan came from.

If you go there and meet Jueying and the others, you will naturally be recruited into the "Horse Believers" as new members.

Jiang Yan, who understood the use of "horse king's domineering spirit", suddenly became more skillful in sneak attacks.

From giving priority to the scouts by taking care of them, they have now used their domineering power to scare the opponent's mounts.

The scouts on horseback will definitely panic when they find that their horses suddenly lose control.

This creates a more perfect opportunity for him to attack.

Jiang Yan followed suit and quickly wiped out all the scouts near the hills.

Moreover, several new believers joined at the same time.

Of course, this will have to wait until they go north and meet Jueying and the others.

If you lose it halfway, there is nothing you can do.

After passing through the low hills, there is another wide plain.

Jiang Yan frowned.

This kind of terrain is indeed suitable for horse fighting, but it is not suitable for sneak attacks.

Under the blue sky and white sun,

It was a fluke that he was able to successfully deal with the peripheral scouts on the hills.

Looking at several scouts running not far away, Jiang Yan knew that he could no longer hide his whereabouts.

These guys probably wanted to surround me and capture me alive because they saw that I was alone.

Wait for him to knock these people down one by one.

There will definitely be vigilant scouts who will issue early warning.

Sure enough, everything went as Jiang Yan expected.

Just when Jiang Yan deliberately waited for the scouts to approach and question them, he suddenly got angry and used stones to name them one by one.

The alert scouts blew their shrill whistles.

At the same time.
