The next morning, Yun Zheng and his men set off with 20,000 cavalrymen.
The subsequent 20,000 cavalry were led by Dugu Ce.
When they arrived at the river crossing, the 10,000 cavalrymen led by Yun Zheng immediately dismounted.
Then, everyone immediately got busy.
Soon, everyone found some trees around that had not been burned by the previous fire.
Yun Zheng’s method of crossing the river was very simple.
The men and horses crossed the river separately.
The men cut down trees to build a bridge over a narrow area with fast-flowing water, and their war horses were handed over to the 10,000 elite cavalry led by Yu Shizhong.
After their people passed and marched to the place where the horses crossed the river, Yu Shizhong led his troops to drive their horses into the river.
As long as the enemy does not send spies to investigate here, they can cross the river smoothly and complete the assembly.
...
...
The Eighteen Ghost Riders were the first to enter the other side last night and clear all nearby obstacles. They had to ensure that no enemy spies or people from nearby tribes would discover their actions.
Otherwise, they would have lost the point of the raid.
"The remaining 10,000 people will be led by you and Qu Zhi."
While waiting for the vanguard to cross the river, Yun Zheng began to instruct Yu Shizhong.
"Your Highness, let me stay with you!"
Yu Shizhong said: "After this battle, Your Highness can release me later."
"You've been with me for so long, it's time to let you go!" Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "Among these people, you are the one who is most familiar with my fighting methods! I feel at ease with you and General Dugu together..."
Although Dugu Ce was the commander of another army, Yu Shizhong could also make some suggestions.
This battle is very important!
With this victory, the Horse Herding Grassland will be theirs!
After this battle, unless Bei Huan goes crazy, they probably won’t have another big war in the short term.
This battle must be won!
Of course, it would be best if their own casualties were minimal.
In this way, they can continue to harass Beihuan in the future.
After listening to Yun Zheng's words, Yu Shizhong nodded heavily: "I will listen to your Highness!"
Yun Zheng asked him to go to Dugu Ce's army to help Dugu Ce with strategy, which showed his trust in him.
After instructing Yu Shizhong on some things, Yun Zheng also began to cross the river.
Yu Shizhong glanced at Yun Zheng silently, and immediately led his troops and horses to the downstream where the water flow was calm.
The places where their troops crossed the river were about ten miles apart.
Once they crossed the river, everyone began to march quickly.
Although it is only ten miles, it is a big challenge for everyone.
After all, the armor and weapons they were wearing together weighed dozens of kilograms.
Everyone also had to help his warhorse carry more than ten pounds of bean feed.
After a quick march of ten miles, if the enemy heard the news and came to attack, many people would probably not be able to resist.
When half of their men marched quickly to the position where the horses were to cross the river, Yu Shizhong immediately ordered his cavalry to drive the horses into the river.
After the war horses swam over, the soldiers who had taken a short rest immediately began to gather the horses.
Near noon, the Eighteen Ghost Riders came back to report that more than thirty miles ahead of them, a team of enemy scouts were exploring in the direction of the Baishui River, most likely looking for traces of Bo Luan's troops.
Listening to the scout's report, Yun Zheng frowned secretly.
Is it so accurate?
This team of scouts is heading directly in this direction?
Did they know that Bolun was going to lead his troops along the Baishui River towards them?
Is there a traitor among Bolun's troops, or are these just scouts sent by Hujie?
Damn it!
Bo Luan, you better stand up for yourself!
It would be a pity if the bird people were destroyed just when our army had finished assembling!
"Are there any enemy spies coming in our direction?"
Yun Zheng asked.
You Shisan replied, "There were dozens of people herding sheep last night, and we took care of them. Our people are now disguised as herders, keeping an eye on the surrounding situation. So far, no enemy scouts have been spotted approaching!"
"That's good!"
Yun Zheng smiled and ordered, "Keep watching. No one is allowed to approach this place!"
"yes!"
Afterwards, Yun Zheng sent his own scouts to search for the trace of Bo Luan's troops, and asked Bo Luan and his own troops to split into two groups and march towards Yanhui Mountain.
In addition, he also asked Bolun to keep a close eye on his troops to prevent anyone from informing Hujie.
Hu Jie only sent out scouts, and it would definitely take time for the main force to catch up.
If Bo Luan had sent out scouts and learned of the movements of Hu Jie's troops, he should have made some preparations.
Around the time of Shenshi, Yun Zheng and his team finally completed their assembly.
Yun Zheng did not stop and immediately led his troops to march towards Yanhui Mountain.
As it was getting dark, Yun Zheng received news from scouts in the rear.
The scouts in the rear have already contacted Bolun's troops and told Bolun about Yun Zheng's idea. Bolun has already begun to lead his troops towards Yanhui Mountain.
However, the scouts also brought back bad news.
There were deserters among Bo Luan's troops.
In just one night, more than a thousand deserters appeared in Bolun's army.
As expected, the movements of Bolun's troops should have been conveyed by those deserters.
Upon learning of this result, Yun Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Sure enough, the morale of Bolun's troops was not very good.
However, this is normal.
After all, many of them were forcibly conscripted.
Moreover, Bo Luan is weak now, and many people must not be optimistic about Bo Luan.
It would be really abnormal if there were no deserters in this situation.
never mind!
Just count on as much as you can!
As long as they defeat Hu Jie and Jia Yao this time, and as long as Bo Luan is still alive, Bo Luan should be able to slowly gather some of his old subordinates after hanging on for a while.
After all, Bolun is the Right Wise King!
The reason why these people don’t think highly of him now is because Hu Jie is too strong.
As long as Hu Jie is defeated, Bo Luan should be able to survive in Beihuan.
Having made up his mind, Yun Zheng ordered his men to start looking for a place to spend the night.
They had been here during the last breakout and knew there was an ancient river nearby.
If you don't have a tent, spending the night there should be a good choice.
Soon, the people sent out found the ancient river channel.
They immediately headed towards the ancient river channel.
At this time, the grass and water nearby should be abundant, allowing the war horses to replenish their strength.
At night, in order not to expose his whereabouts, Yun Zheng strictly prohibited anyone from lighting a fire.
Everyone eats dry food.
This night was relatively peaceful.
The next day, everyone set out at daybreak.
Less than two hours later, the scouts sent to the left wing hurried back to report: "We spotted a large group of Northern Huan cavalry thirty miles away from the left wing. A rough estimate is that the number of people should be more than 10,000. The direction of the enemy's advance is exactly the direction of Bo Luan's troops!"
So fast?
How much Hu Jie wants to kill Bo Luan!
Yun Zheng thought silently for a moment, then immediately asked, "Did you see the enemy's flag clearly?"
The scout shook his head and said, "It's too far away to see clearly."
Is that so?
Yun Zheng narrowed his eyes and immediately ordered: "Chen Luoyan, you lead two thousand troops to support our right wing! The rest of you, turn around immediately and move closer to Bo Luan's troops!"
