Just as the army gathered outside Juyan City, Zhang Yan ordered the thunder bomb buried under the ground of Juyan City to be carefully excavated, and then all gathered together, all led by his subordinates, and had enough dry food and water. With Ayubu as the guide, he officially went to Jiluo Mountain.

Before leaving, Zhang Yan left behind 600 soldiers who had lost their horses, stationed in Juyan City, and sent scouts to inform Ma Teng, asking Ma Teng to send troops to reinforce Juyan City.

Juyan City is a strategic location and the only oasis within a radius of hundreds of miles. This place must not be lost.

After the army was assembled, the soldiers were all ready to fight. It has been more than half a month since the war they were looking forward to has not come. This time, they can gallop on the battlefield and make achievements.

More than 20,000 cavalrymen were divided into several parts. Zhang Yan, Ayubu, Ma Chao, Taishici were in the front, Pang De and Ma Dai were in the middle, Xu Chu, Pang Tong and Yang Fu were in the back, each with a torch, and on this quiet night, a long fire dragon formed, illuminating everything around them. They approached Jiluo Mountain step by step with a fire of revenge symbolizing light.

After leaving Juyan City for about twenty miles, the group entered the Gobi Desert. The Gobi Desert was full of rocks and walked very slowly. And there was a cold and cold feeling everywhere on the Gobi Desert that was exposed to Lieyu. However, during the day, the Gobi Desert would be as hot as an oven under the exposure of Lieyu. Therefore, no matter what, you must walk out of the Gobi Desert as quickly as possible to avoid the high temperature and sun exposure during the day.

Fortunately, Ayub was guided by, riding a brown war horse, holding a torch in his hand, walking in front of the entire army, and following the mark he left himself.

Although Ayyub was young, he was an extremely smart man. A few years ago, when he first crossed the Great Gobi Desert, he almost died here. Fortunately, he met a caravan, and the caravan rescued him and took him out of the Gobi Desert. Later, Ayyub learned that this Gobi Desert is called the ghost realm. Once people and animals enter this Gobi Desert, they will be lost and cannot get out of this Gobi Desert, and thus are trapped and killed in this Gobi Desert.

Originally, this Gobi Desert was normal. Although it was difficult to leave, it would not be trapped here. However, after the Han Dynasty captured Juyan City and established a vassal state here. In order to prevent the Huns from invading Juyan City from the north of the desert, one of the vassal state commanders led 3,000 people to go deep into the barren Gobi Desert, and transformed it. Using these rocks to lay down a maze, anyone entering this area would lose their way and once made great contributions to resisting the invasion of the Huns.

From the time of setting up this maze until the time when the vassal captain died, tens of thousands of Huns were trapped in this Gobi Desert.

When the vassal state commander arrived on this Gobi Desert for the last time before his death, he saw piles of corpses in the maze, including some cargoes left by the caravan, and he felt a little unbearable. It was not until this time that the vassal state commander felt that he had done things a little too much, so he told his son how to get out of this maze, so that his son could remember it, and stay near the Gobi Desert, and specially brought out the caravan that had accidentally entered the maze.

Later, his son became the guardian of this maze, and no less than ten thousand people rescued from him.

Among them, there was a smart caravan, so he remembered how to get out of this maze. From then on, the maze has become an alternative refuge for these caravans. If they encounter an attack, they can directly enter this Gobi Desert. Those plunderers dare not enter this place called the ghost realm without authorization, so they had to give up.

But Ayub was a very smart man. After walking through this Gobi Desert, he remembered how to go out and left a mark along the way that only he could understand, so that he would lose his direction again when passing through this place.

More than 20,000 troops, led by Ayub, quickly crossed the Gobi Desert. When the last cavalry walked out of the Gobi Desert, it was bright and the sun rose from the east. The golden sunlight shone on the army, as if it had covered the army with a layer of holy light.

After leaving the Great Gobi Desert, it was a flat grassland. The cavalry's advantage was immediately taken out. After rushing fifty miles, the group finally showed signs of fatigue. They found a forest nearby that could shade the sun and rest.

So, everyone got into the woods, hid under the shade of the trees, slept on the ground, and had a good rest.

The grassland area is an extremely empty area. You can see any movement from afar, so the danger of exposing your target during the day is very high.

According to Ayub, although the Xianbei people were busy dealing with Hu Yanhui's coalition forces in Jinweishan, they did not relax their defenses in the Jiluoshan area at all. The patrol teams and patrol locations even doubled compared to usual. Fifty miles away, there were dense patrol teams, each patrol team of about 500 cavalry. If they hit, they would be discovered and would not have any effect of sneak attacks.

Therefore, Zhang Yancai decided to keep his energy during the day and to slander at night. Anyway, with Ayub as his guide, he would not get lost.

Most of the people were exhausted and fell asleep, leaving only a few people to watch outside the woods and changed their guards in time so that the soldiers would not feel tired.

Before they knew it, when they all woke up, it was already late at night. There were still more than 200 miles from Jiluo Mountain. Zhang Yan gathered his troops again and embarked on the journey again. He rushed for another night. He stopped at about 60 miles from Jiluo Mountain. He then sent scouts to inquire about the time interval of the Xianbei patrol team and the patrol location to see if the loopholes could be used to directly enter the heart of the Xianbei people. The rest were quietly waiting in their habitats.

About an hour later, the scouts sent out returned one after another and reported to Zhang Yan about the situation of the Xianbei patrol team.

After careful analysis, Zhang Yan finally found several places with relatively relaxed defenses and ordered them to go in from these places in batches, and then meet in Jiluo Mountain.

However, before this, the soldiers must be given a good rest. Only when they are in good spirits can they win the battle.

After another day's rest, at night, Zhang Yan divided the troops into eight parts. He personally led Pang Tong and Ayubu as part of it, while Taishi Ci, Xu Chu, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Pang De, Wang Shuang and Yang Fu each led some of the troops.

There were four loopholes in the Xianbei people. Eight parts of the troops were divided into four routes, heading towards Jiluo Mountain from four different directions. After entering the heart of the Xianbei people, the four armies were divided into two again and launched an attack on the Xianbei people from all directions at the same time. Each part of the troops carried a part of the thunder bombs and entered the Xianbei people's camp, the main target of the attack was the Shanyuting of the Xianbei people, and for the purpose of creating chaos, it completely disrupted the entire Xianbei people's camp.

If they do not do this, the Xianbei people are numerous after all, and they are all ethnic groups on horseback. They are soldiers who ride war horses and hold bows and arrows. Once the Xianbei people react, it will be very unfavorable to them.

When the combat commands were given to everyone, everyone was ready to try, and those who went to the battlefield for the first time and turned from militias to soldiers were particularly excited. From the moment Zhang Yan recruited militias, they turned into militias and had been in the army for almost several years. Apart from maintaining local public security, they had never been on the battlefield.

When Zhang Yan pacified Hebei, he once transferred militias to the battlefield, but he only took on the task of transporting food and grass, and had never confronted the enemy head-on. Moreover, among these militias, many people were already used to this kind of military, and many capable people urgently needed a war, a glorious battle of their own, in order to achieve the goal of making achievements.

The order was issued, and the army was divided into four routes, Zhang Yan and Taishi Ci, Ma Chao and Yang Fu, Xu Chu and Ma Dai, Pang De and Wang Shuang, and four routes of troops arrived at four locations respectively. When there was a loophole, they rushed in to avoid trouble.

With careful planning and strict organization, Zhang Yan's four armies entered the hearts of the Xianbei people very smoothly. Once they entered, they were like wild horses that broke away from their reins, and they were out of control and rushed all the way while the night was shining.

The Fourth Route Army ran for more than 30 miles in a row, and could vaguely see the Xianbei people's domes and the bonfires burning in the wild, but the Fourth Route Army ignored these and went straight to the heart of the place.

The more you go, the more domes there are, the more people there are, and the bonfires are everywhere. Most of the Xianbei people gathered in a circle, dancing in front of the bonfire, drinking horse milk wine, eating roasted lamb, laughing and cheering, and a peaceful atmosphere.

However, no one noticed that the four armies suddenly split into two and headed to different directions, without torches, and kept walking in the darkness, hiding their identities.

The scene of galloping horses was already used to the Xianbei people. In these days, the Xianbei people were fighting against the Huns in Jinwei Mountain. Almost every day there would be galloping horses, coming and going in the habitat of the Xianbei people. Even without war, the warriors who went out to hunt during the day would return with a full load at this time, and the horses galloping were also the same.

Although Xianbei people will look at the place where the horses are galloping from time to time, because the night is shrouded in darkness, no one can see except the people beside the bonfire. They just drink and eat meat and dance around the bonfire when they are happy. Everything is so comfortable and peaceful that no one can imagine that they will suffer a heavy disaster soon.
