After putting away the letter and stuffing the porcelain bottle into his arms, Xu Mu stabilized his expression and turned his head solemnly.
"Eagle Guard, has anyone heard of it?"
"Little boss, this is a very big thing——"
"General Xu, I seem to have heard of him." A silver-haired old soldier patted his horse and caught up.
"How to say."
"The Eagle Guards are just like the divine eagle totem that Beidi Dog believes in. They are specially selected brave men from various tribes to form the elite guards of the royal court."
"How many people are there in total?"
"It is said that due to the harsh conditions, there are less than 10,000 horses. They will not leave the grassland easily and take it as their duty to defend the royal court. But sometimes, they will be sent out by the royal court to kill tribes that are disobedient."
Xu Mu took a deep breath and felt that the problem was a bit big.
Two thousand eagle guards were chasing them. The man is fierce, the horse is fast, and the attack is menacing.
If the number of people were larger, Xu Mu would not be afraid, but now, the troops following him were already less than 3,000 men.
Fortunately, the unknown person who wrote the letter left a plan.
"Does anyone...recognize this handwriting and this stamp?"
The letter was passed around again and again until it reached the hands of an old soldier. Suddenly, the old soldier cried.
"Xu, General Xu, this is the handwriting of General Li who conquered the north! I have served as a soldier in Guan before, so I don't know much about other characters, but I can definitely see General Li's seal of command."
Xu Mudun was on the spot.
Thinking about it, Li Poshan was afraid that he wouldn't believe him, so he deliberately left the handsome seal.
"General Xu, I can't wait to find General Li!" Countless figures cried out sadly.
There was a young marquis in Daji and a general named Li who conquered the north. The two sides of the country were plotted against each other by traitors.
"It's pity that I, a famous general of Daji, ended up like this."
Xu Mu also sighed silently. Under the current circumstances, it was impossible to spare time to look for Li Poshan.
Moreover, Li Poshan is unwilling to come forward, which means that he has no plans to return to the Central Plains. Perhaps he has his own plans to stay in the grassland.
"The whole army obeys the order and speeds up the march." Xu Mu gritted his teeth, thinking deeply about General Li Zhengbei. He never expected that he would be contacted in this way.
…
"The little boss has turned the grassland upside down. In the past two days, he also burned two market cities. The people of the grassland are very angry. I heard that even the prince was so angry that he personally brought two thousand people with him. The Eagle Guards will go after him."
Listening to the scout's military report, Tuoba Zhao's face became heavy.
"Does the prince want to go after him himself? Does the Khan mean it?"
"It seems that the prince went there by himself."
For some reason, Tuoba Zhao felt uneasy. It's not that he doesn't believe in Ying Weiwei's strength, but he always feels that the little boss is a person who is good at creating miracles.
He never imagined that a group of three thousand Central Plains cavalry could make such a big noise on the grassland.
But it was as slippery as a loach, so it was impossible to catch it.
"Don't worry, Zuo Khan. Many tribes gathered their troops immediately when they heard that people from the Central Plains were entering the grassland. The little boss has no way of escaping. He will definitely be trapped and die in the grassland."
Tuoba Zhao remained silent. To be honest, the Xiaodong family killed the grasslands from the front line of Hezhou. An army of 300,000 people could not catch a small fish, and this small fish even caused a big wave.
It’s better to burn the city. After all, cities can still be rebuilt. If there is any earth-shattering accident, he, the left-hand Khan on the front line, will definitely not be able to evade accountability.
Gritting his teeth, Tuoba Zhao raised his head and looked at the riddled Hezhou City in front of him, which was still standing firm, towering like a mountain amidst the smoke and collapsed rocks.
"The king of Yuzhou raised by a dog father."
…
A lone army galloped on horseback in the cool breeze of the grassland. The sound of trampling horse hooves echoed under the sky from time to time.
Xu Mu held the reins in one hand and held a fist-sized porcelain bottle in the other.
The porcelain vase was given by General Li.
He only opened it once, and inside, there was an extremely smelly mist.
The letter said, this is called Yinlangxiang.
But going forward along the road, we are already far away from Langshan Mountain. Unless they are, they turn around again and run deeper into the grassland again.
After a moment of silence, Xu Mu put the wolf-inducing incense into his robe.
It has been more than six or seven days since we entered the grassland alone. We don't have to worry about food and water. We can plunder along the way. The most helpless thing is that the soldiers cannot drag the Di people on the grassland to join the army.
Occasionally, I saw some slaves raised in the Central Plains, but their bodies were tortured to the point of being so thin that they could not even ride a horse, so how could they gallop and conquer.
A group of old brothers, if one dies, one will be missing.
Xu Mu took a deep breath, bit the tip of his tongue, and forced himself to calm down again. The method was taught by an old soldier. In this cavalry of nearly three thousand people, even the youngest Wei Xiaowu had his tongue bitten with scars.
"General Xu returns to his horse!"
Suddenly, two men and horses riding on the sentinel in front shouted urgently and angrily.
Xu Mu looked up, his expression suddenly shocked. In order to prevent falling into the trap of the Di people, he would always send a few riders to explore the distance of several miles in advance.
"Return to the horse——"
In the cold wind, an old pawn who had not finished shouting was hit in the head by dozens of exquisite horse arrows, and fell from his horse helplessly.
The other rider tried to turn back in a roundabout way, but was cut off in half by a splitting knife.
"Enemy attack!" Xu Mu roared and raised his sword.
Behind him, nearly three thousand people on horseback lined up and stood ready.
Under the blue sky, a large group of figures covered in yellow armor slowly stepped out. Wearing yellow armor, the helmet is extremely weird, with half of it protruding, and at first glance it looks like an eagle pecking it.
The leader was a young man in beast armor, with a face like an eagle and a wolf, holding a huge mace in one hand.
"Tenggri——"
Waves of roars resounded all around.
"General Xu is the eagle guard of Digou Royal Court!"
Yingdewei, two thousand people.
As if between lightning and flint, the two thousand eagle guards blocking the road were a dense burst of horse bows.
"Raise your shield!"
The plundered Di people's small leather shields were shot to pieces by horse arrows one after another, and they were unable to block them. In the blink of an eye, many of their fellow riders were hit by flying arrows and fell to the ground.
"General Xu, if not, take a roundabout way to avoid it."
"Can't avoid it." Xu Mu gritted his teeth. If he took a roundabout way at this time, he would be chased and shot to death one by one.
The elites of the Beidi Royal Court are not comparable to those ordinary Di people. Furthermore, if you take a roundabout route, you may encounter other encirclement and suppression armies.
God knows why these Eagle Guards are so fast.
"Raise the gun!"
"General Xu has an order, raise your gun and attack the enemy!"
"We have no way to retreat. We only hope that all our colleagues will risk their lives and crush the enemy's army!"
"Ten knights in a row!"
…
