The wind was howling and the dust was everywhere.

Winter is officially here.

"Pooh!"

Sun Xiurong spat out a mouthful of dust containing weeds, dust, and perhaps cows and sheep manure, and tightened the thin rope around his neck made of cotton armor.

After taking a sip of cold and pissed river water to remove the filth in his mouth, he said to himself.

“It’s still a familiar taste”

Yes, the taste of the mouth is very familiar to him, a person who has been wandering in the north of the desert for three lifetimes.

In fact, his hometown in later generations was from Nanjing, and it was a real Jiangnan area. Not to mention sandstorms, even strong winds were rare. Typhoons common in the southeast coast came to his hometown.

He has seen heavy rain, but compared with sandstorms, he still thinks this is the real taste of Mobei.

Rough, wild, cold, simple, direct.

Never gentle and reciprocity, I have always been tyrannical and cruel.

This is Mobei's reality. Mobei's character. For him, the vast and green time of spring and summer is just a manifestation, which is to create opportunities for further tyranny.

This is the jungle world that belongs only to the north of Mo, a kind of catharsis that is respected by naked and powerful people.

In this world, you have no chance to be weak, not only you have no chance, but even weaker tribes have no chance. Unlike the Han area in the south, for thousands of years, shepherds born here and shepherds from the west, after singing and making their debut, at least hundreds of tribes came and went, but in the end, few names were left behind.

There is no strongest, only stronger can one survive in this land.

The experience of the three lives of desert smell made his nerves extremely thick, less care, and more conquest.

Conquer, only conquest is to truly be responsible for this land.

It is also the most efficient move.

His luck is still good. Since entering this world, his body has been growing stronger and rarely gets sick. Although this is related to some of his habits that obviously come from later generations, he still thinks that he is favored by God.

It has been a few days since he left Huaishuo Town. If he was not mistaken, his location should be near Mandula Town, north of Baotou City, later generations.

When you get here, you are only about two hundred miles away from Jikou.

The Mobei seems vast, and the scenery everywhere is very similar in winter, but if you choose a place to fight, you can actually control it.

That is the water source.

Any place where there is a place where the army can provide drinking water must be a place for staying and resting. There are not many such places in the entire northern desert, and it is completely predictable in a certain area.

That is, unless you carry a lot of drinking water and pass through a place quickly, your actions are predictable.

However, once you carry a lot of drinking water, it will definitely occupy more energy and manpower, and the other materials you can carry will definitely be reduced. Therefore, in a certain general range, such as more than ten days, your actions can still be roughly predicted.

Mandula Town naturally does not have this name at this time, so we still call it this name.

There are mountains and rivers near Mandula, which are both a place for our rest and supplies, and also a place for the enemy to predict. Under the raging sandstorms, the Sada Ye Army had no other choice but to station here.

It's almost dusk.

The sunset in the west seemed to have just recovered from the raging sandstorm. The upper half was red, but the lower half was yellowish-brown, and the lower half was still flashing faintly, like smoke.

The sandstorm raged for about an entire hour. At this time, even strong cover for fifty miles or strong cover for thirty miles was useless. It was also an excellent time for the enemy to suddenly approach and attack.

As soon as the dust settled, Mandula became noisy.

Not long after, countless tents, including Sun Xiurong's own tent, were tied down next to both sides of a river.

At the same time, the river had a height of about twenty miles and a radius of the river and was occupied by the Suoye Army, and a simple camp was built on it.

Sun Xiurong walked into his big tent.

The marching Sima Jia Dan was still busy inside. According to his habit, the big tent was set aside, and no matter what else, the iron stove, square table, large map, documents, tokens, and order flags must be prepared. People still trust the tokens and order flags at this time, not to mention that the role of a archer who did not want the army to be controlled by the army, but only recognized him as the archer, tokens, and order flags.

This is not later generations. Everything in the Tang Dynasty is still valid. No matter what you instill in the subjects, you can't do it.

This time, he had to leave, and there was only one month left in the food and grass. He had to take the initiative to look for fighter jets, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Of course, he could drive all the people to the familiar Yuyuling area and wait for the opportunity, but those who accomplish great things are mostly those who use very few resources to create extremely high benefits. If everything is ready before taking action, fleeting opportunities will also change at the same time.

There is only one opportunity or resource to choose, and successful people often seize opportunities.

Of course, the current forces are generally well aware of how much food and grass the Saiye Army can carry when they dispatched. They also want to launch an attack when the food and grass the Saiye Army is about to be sold out.

Therefore, it seems that Ye Hu took the lead in dispatching the army, but in fact it was a step that both sides had to take.

Sun Xiurong asked Suha's Tianshan Camp to continue to stay in Huaishuo Town, and personally took Sun Xiaoke's Bogda Camp and Yuque's Bogra camp, with his own considerations.

When he learned that Li Siye and Li Sheng's army were all gathered in Zhongshoujiang City, he firmly decided to move as soon as possible.

Sun Xiurong chose this place obviously after careful consideration.

Since returning to Mobei, his thinking has switched to the "Mobei" mode. He believes that his potential enemies must also be thinking in the "Mobei" mode.

This is the middle point leading to the rijuana. There are several lakes about a hundred miles north, and there are some aquatic plants nearby. On the east side, there is also a suma to Sunit Banner in the Tabu River Basin in the later Tabu River Basin, which can also be stationed in large armies.

Although the sandstorm had just passed, he still believed that if the enemy wanted to attack his troops halfway, he would definitely come from these two sides!

Under the premise that the time and route are not accurately grasped, if the enemy missed this, he could only watch himself reach the Chikou!

He was very sure of this.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, some of the scouts around came back.

"The Great Protector, the enemy in the east is about 10,000 cavalry, who are moving towards this place!"

"The Protector, the enemy in the north is overwhelming and is also moving towards this place!"

As soon as he heard the four words "overwhelming", if ordinary generals heard it and were harsh, they would kill the detective cavalry on the spot. From later generations, everything was digitized and concretized, and the pursuit of excellence was even more so. However, when he heard these four words, he did not blame the detective cavalry.

At night, or after a violent sandstorm, if you want to find out the specific number of enemies, there is only one way to lead the general - to capture the enemy from scattered stars to pick up firewood, dry feces, or the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry.

Obviously, it is most convenient to capture the enemy's scout cavalry, because during the march of more than 10,000 people, ordinary soldiers may not know how many of their troops are, but the scout cavalry must know, at least part of it.

In the Caodian of Suiyechuan, any enemy with more than 10,000 people can be called "overwhelming" if they are investigated at night.

This is just the first batch of scouts who came back. If all of them are back, the leader can calculate the specific number of enemies after a moment of thinking.

Sure enough, from the beginning of the Zi Shi to the end of the Chou Shi Shi (a total of four hours), all the scouts came back.

These scouts were scattered on the ground about one hundred miles according to roughly the regulations, and there would be a group of people about twenty miles. The situation they observed was only part of it. The information from each part was summarized and Sima Jiatan of the marching army calculated the number of enemies.

"The Great Protector, whether in the east or north, is about a hundred miles away. They are all cavalry, and sometimes camels follow them, and they are all light and simple. Obviously, they want to use the night to approach the ten miles of our army's camp before dawn."

"The people in Mobei are more familiar with wind and sand than us. They probably took advantage of it when they first started. The wind and sand blew from the north. They happened to walk behind the sandstorm and just followed the wind and sand. When the sand and dust stopped, the sky became dark, and they just hid in the night."

"According to the information coming back from various scouts and the number of camels accompanying them, the enemies in the east are about 10,000, while those in the north are between 20,000 and 30,000. Why is the difference so big? This is because there are fewer tents in the north, and there are more camels. This situation can only occur in one situation."

"The enemy can only appear when a few standing troops command a large number of tribal cavalry. Even in winter, tribal cavalry only carries a sheepskin cloak, not a tent. When they arrive at the camp, they gather together to create a bonfire and rest in a bonfire in tribal classification."

"The enemy's standing army is different. Most of them imitate the Tang army's regulations, carrying about twenty people, surrounded by a tent near the tent of the standing army generals."

"The standing army often carts are used to load tents, water and so on, but the tribal cavalry often use a camel together, and the number is calculated like this. Sometimes, if the young and strong tribes are recruited, the tribe is second only to the standing army, there will be a cavalry carrying a war horse and a camel, and at the same time, the old and weak herders are recruited to follow the care of these camels. This is how the 20,000 to 30,000 are."

Sun Xiurong nodded. Jia Dan was able to calculate the approximate number of enemies in a short period of time, so naturally his usual teachings were indispensable. He said: "My broken Ye army is famous. The north is mainly tribal cavalry, and its combat power is not as good as the standing army in the east. Naturally, the number cannot be 20,000, most of which is 30,000."

"So the enemies we face here are about 40,000 to 50,000. OK, if we can decide the world in one battle, what else can I ask for?"

The next day, early morning.

The figures of enemy reconnaissance cavalry began to appear one after another near Mandula, and this was also an excellent opportunity for reconnaissance cavalry on both sides. If the Uighurs were organized, they were naturally not as good as the Snow Ye Army, but if the individual soldiers were in terms of the quality of the Snow Ye Army, they were no less than the Snow Ye Army, so the two sides suffered casualties.
