As dawn broke, the bandit camps on the grasslands could be seen to be in ruins, with a large number of tents burned down.
It appears that the grassland bandits suffered significant losses.
On that day, the grassland bandits did not take any action.
However, from the city wall, one could still see the edge of the forest where the grassland bandits were busy.
They were busy repairing the camp and strengthening the defenses.
Even after suffering heavy losses, Commander-in-Chief Enbock did not retreat, after all, he had made a military pledge to the Great Khan.
"hehe!"
Seeing this, Li Xin smiled coldly, "Do these grassland bandits think that they'll be fine just because they don't attack us first?"
I'll show them who holds the initiative on the battlefield!
Immediately, Li Xin summoned Mu Yunyan, the captain of the elite cavalry.
"Muyun Rock,"
Li Xin asked, "Last night, the Valiant Cavalry Battalion made outstanding contributions. Not bad, not bad, they deserve praise!"
How was your rest after you got back?
"Your Highness, I slept very well last night!"
Mu Yunyan replied with a smile, "Having killed so many grassland bandits, I'm sure I can get a good night's sleep!"
As he spoke, everyone burst into laughter.
"Do you still want to go and kill the enemy again?"
After laughing, Li Xin turned his head and asked.
"Yes, I do!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunyan's eyes lit up. "Our elite cavalry battalion is all looking forward to going back to fight the enemy!"
"Your Highness, do you intend for our elite cavalry to raid the camp again?"
"Then let's go again!"
Li Xin agreed and said, "However, this time is different from last night!"
Raiding a camp during the day makes you a big target; the grassland bandits will definitely be watching you.
Your mission is simple: harass the grassland bandits, making it appear as if you want to attack but don't.
As long as the grassland bandits can't rest, the mission is complete!
This time, we need to put the grassland bandits on edge. Once they break down, we'll achieve a great victory!
"A strategy to wear down the enemy!"
Zhao Bingzhang nodded slightly and said, "This plan is good!"
The grassland bandits came from afar, suffered a crushing defeat during the day yesterday, and were ambushed again last night; they are now an exhausted force.
If they are further harassed, they will inevitably collapse!
Not bad, not bad!
Zhao Bingzhang stroked his beard, a smile on his face, and nodded with some admiration.
"good!"
Mu Yunyan understood His Highness's meaning and immediately agreed.
"Remember!"
Li Xin reiterated, "You must always maintain mobility and make sure the grassland bandits can't figure out your intentions."
If things go wrong, come back immediately. The elite cavalry are the precious darlings of Dongning City!
Safety first! Don't be reckless!
After Li Xin gave him repeated instructions, Mu Yunyan agreed.
Immediately, Mu Yunyan led more than sixty soldiers of the Swift Cavalry Battalion out of the city and headed towards the grassland bandit camp.
The sound of horses' hooves echoed as they rode out of the city and into the distance.
Looking at this elite cavalry unit, Zhao Bingzhang shook his head slightly and said, "Colonel Mu is a good commander!"
However, the number of elite cavalry is still too small!
"If we had a thousand men, how difficult would it be to recover the lost territory of Dongning Province?"
"Yes, there are too few people!"
Li Xin nodded, knowing that building a cavalry force was not something that could be done overnight.
Forming a fighting force is no easy task!
The last reform of the Prince's Guard was able to build a cavalry battalion of fifty or sixty men, which was already considered quite good!
Although Mu Yunyan had been planning to expand the Xiaoji Battalion during this period, they were still in the training phase.
Moreover, excellent warhorses must be obtained through various means.
Therefore, the current elite cavalry battalion can at most be considered a guerrilla force for mobile reconnaissance and harassment operations, and cannot be considered a mobile force!
The task is arduous and the road ahead is long!
Mr. Zhao,
Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "Haste makes waste. We have to take things one step at a time!"
"In the future, our cavalry will definitely number much more than this!"
...
While Li Xin and the others were sighing, Mu Yunyan and his group had already reached the open space between the two sides.
Despite having only sixty-odd cavalrymen, they still made the chieftain of the steppe bandits, Enboke, somewhat uneasy.
After all, the damage caused by the Dongning cavalry raid on their camp last night is still unforgettable!
If we are not vigilant and these Dongning cavalrymen succeed again, the grassland bandits will suffer heavy losses!
"Tell Kuntai to be on high alert!"
Commander-in-Chief Enbock ordered in a deep voice, "Have Shumute prepare for battle!"
If these Dongning cavalry dare to come again, we'll make sure they never return!
"yes!"
The guards quickly responded.
Immediately, the entire grassland bandit camp became highly tense, with swords drawn.
The grassland bandit cavalry stood ready, their warhorses poised outside the tents, watching the elite cavalry soldiers with predatory eyes.
Inside the tent, the escort soldiers were also on high alert, holding bows and arrows in their hands, their hearts filled with unease.
In an instant, the entire camp was like a taut bowstring, ready to be released at any moment.
However, the elite cavalrymen in the open space in the distance did not charge directly towards them.
Instead, they resembled leisurely sparrows in winter, slowly strolling around in the open space.
Sometimes they approached the bandit camp on the grassland, and sometimes they moved away from it.
Sometimes they would charge forward, and sometimes they would retreat quickly.
This back-and-forth infuriated President Embark.
"It's numb!"
