More than forty miles east of Qian'an Valley, there is a mountain nest.
The neat sound of horse hooves sounded and stopped, and Gu Datou led the team to retreat here.
After spreading the cordon, he looked back at the fire in the east.
Huh.
Gu Datou was surprised and touched his bald head thoughtfully.
The fire was unexpectedly strong.
Hopefully it will give Blood Moon a little more chaos.
As for burning down the Blood Moon tribe, Gu Datou never had such illusions.
After all, Blood Moon is a large tribe with many people and a vast territory.
No matter how big the fire is, burning down a few pastures and killing thousands of cattle and sheep is already the limit.
Report!
After a while, a sentry came hurriedly and happily.
"Qianchang, we found our friends from the Yongqi Battalion about fifty miles south. They are heading towards us. Judging from the number, they should not be attacked."
Snapped!
"That's great." Gu Datou punched his palm excitedly, "I just said it's impossible for Lao Ren's map to be wrong."
After speaking, he raised his telescope and looked south.
It's just that the sky is filled with black smoke, and the telescope is a blur, and nothing can be seen clearly.
Fifty miles on the grassland is not a distance. The soldiers here had just eaten and rested when the sound of horse hooves began to sound.
A team holding the word "brave" quickly approached.
Ha ha!
Lu Youtian laughed and rushed over immediately.
"Are you guys okay, Big Head?"
"It's okay." Gu Datou came up to him with a chuckle. "We had a smooth journey. Except for a few small tribes who came here specifically to rob us, we didn't meet any enemies."
Having said this, he paused and looked up at the still empty sky.
"I thought you were being targeted by the eagles of Blood Moon."
"No." Lu Youtian breathed a sigh of relief and fetched water to feed his precious mount, "Not to mention the Blood Moon eagle, we didn't even find an eagle feather."
Ha ha.
He laughed while petting the mare: "When we set the fire just now, I thought you were being targeted by the Blood Moon people. I was extremely worried."
"So those eagles in Blood Moon are missing?"
"should be."
The two of them looked at each other and couldn't help but have a cruel smile on their lips.
Although the reason is unknown, since there are no eyes from the sky watching, it is much easier for them to come down.
Report!
At this moment, another sentry hurriedly arrived.
"Butou, a team of 5,000 people came from about thirty miles to the southwest. They should be affiliated tribes around Blood Moon. Judging from the guys in their hands, they are probably here to help put out the fire."
Gu Datou and Lu Youtian looked at each other and quickly spread out the map.
Because there were no eagles watching, they didn't run too far and were still in Blood Moon's territory.
About a hundred miles further west are the scattered settlements of some small and medium-sized tribes.
These tribes were scattered and scattered. Although each tribe was not large in number, they were responsible for most of the food and grass supply for the Xiliang army. Some tribes even squeezed out one or two teams to participate in the battle.
"Old rules," Gu Datou tapped the map, "eat them!"
"Okay." Lu Youtian nodded without hesitation, "We don't have much food and grass in hand, so we just need it from them."
Furthermore, by wiping out an enemy tribe, Dingxi County and Yanchi Fortress will be less stressed.
Dongdong.
After a while, Gu Datou used his chest as a leather drum and started beating it heavily.
It quickly attracted everyone's attention.
"Brothers, when it's time to eat and feed the horses, hurry up and feed the horses. We have to work. The fortress and Peishi City are waiting for everyone to make the hinterland of Xiliang dark!"
Ha ha.
The soldiers laughed.
"I know. Big head! We have eaten and drank well."
"Hurry up and do it. The sword in my hand is already hungry and thirsty, just waiting to drink the blood of Xiliang people."
…
"Very good." Gu Datou nodded, "Our target this time is the Changyang tribe."
He held up a picture with a sun and a long bow, "Their tribe's logo is like this. I wonder if anyone has seen it?"
"Big head," a soldier from the Yingling Legion gritted his teeth and raised the weapon in his hand, "I have seen these bastards on the battlefield outside Peishi City."
hey-hey.
Gu Datou grinned cruelly.
"The Changyang tribe is affiliated with Blood Moon. It originally had 13,000 people. Later, it sent many tribesmen to attack Dingxi County. It is estimated that there are still about 7,000 to 10,000 people left behind."
Everyone listened in confusion.
One by one, they picked their nostrils and jerked their horses.
There are only 10,000 herdsmen. There are not many except the old and young, so there is no need to be afraid.
Gu Datou ignored their thoughts and continued, "There are so many of them living around five water sources, and the entire settlement is almost in a straight line."
"In order not to expose the whereabouts of our team in the future, we must be ruthless when attacking and kill everyone on sight. Do you understand?"
Everyone around responded, "Understood!"
"Also, the enemy may have more than ten eagles. Once these animals are discovered, kill them in time. They are not allowed to send any messages."
"yes!"
Gu Datou rambled on about precautions, and did not stop until another sentry came over to report that the fire-fighting team had passed through from the south.
After looking at the sky, he and Lu Youtian looked at each other.
The two men immediately got on their horses and said, "Let's go!"
More than a hundred miles is not too far.
When three thousand cavalry slowly arrived at the outskirts of the Changyang tribe, it was already Haishi.
The dead of night is the best time to kill people and set fires.
The huge Changyang tribe was pitch black except for a few lights, and occasionally there were a few barking dogs.
Gu Datou shook his head, "There is no defense. It seems that we are in the hinterland of the grassland. The Changyang people have never thought that enemies will come."
But it just makes things easier for them.
Several spies slipped back.
They went in early and took a look around.
"Qianchang, Changyang sent many people to the east to put out the fire, and they haven't returned yet. Most of the people in the settlement are young and old, and there is no warning. However, there are a lot of various livestock in the outer circle."
Gu Datou smacked his mouth.
After eating all kinds of meat these days, he was a little tired of it.
"Yes. Datou and Lao Lu, my subordinates understand some Xiliang dialect. When I eavesdropped on their conversation, it seemed that some caravan was coming soon."
Caravan?
Gu Datou and Lu Youtian were startled and couldn't help but look to the north.
It is now the Mid-Autumn Festival. Counting the time, the camel caravan led by Youmeng should have returned to the Xiliang Prairie.
"Get to work."
"Yes, leave as soon as you finish your work."
This place is close to Luoxi. They can go directly north to Kailun to meet old friends and avoid the wind for a while.
After all, Blood Moon is a big tribe and there is no room for them to be careless.
Wow.
A torch was lit.
Tap tap tap.
The sound of neat horse hooves began to sound, getting more and more urgent.
Not long after, the three thousand men and horses split into two and rushed to both sides of the Changyang tribe, keeping a tight eye on the settlement.
Whoosh.
The torches in everyone's hands flew towards the tents and animal pens not far away.
Soon the settlement in front of them was in flames.
Without the young men, the offense was unexpectedly smooth.
Tweet!
A long time passed before someone from the Changyang tribe woke up and blew the shrill police whistle.
"It's on fire. Someone come and put out the fire."
"Follow me!" Gu Datou picked up his two sledgehammers and headed towards the crowded place without hesitation.
First latest.
