The heavens begin from practicing swords in the palace

Outside the city of Tongguan, the sky and the earth were dark, and the night was dark, and the dew was even deeper.

Suddenly, the earth shook.

The hooves of the horse sounded and roared again and again.

In the darkness of night, tens of thousands of torches were held high, illuminating the originally dark world in red.

Crowds of cavalry are charging forward.

Heading towards the new Sui military camp, gallop away.

The new Sui barracks were brightly lit.

In every tent, there is lamp oil burning.

But in the brightly lit camps, it seemed that there was no movement at this moment.

Even outside the account, there seems to be no one.

It turned out that all of this had long been expected by Zhao Qiu.

Earlier, when he defeated Li Shimin's cavalry, he vaguely felt the cavalry from the grassland coming.

Later, he stabilized Hanzhong, pushed forward slowly, and then spread scouts to search for news.

Tens of thousands of prairie cavalry came from afar, even if Li Shimin wanted to hide, it would be difficult.

Basically, it cannot be hidden.

There are tens of thousands of cavalry, and there are tens of thousands of horses, and the horses have to eat grass.

Therefore, it is not difficult to find these tens of thousands of cavalry.

Before Zhao Qiu led the troops to attack Tongguan, he had already prepared the deployment.

The letter from Tongguan, the news brought back by the scouts, and Zhao Qiu's own judgment.

All signs indicate that the steppe cavalry will come tonight.

After sunset, taking advantage of the moonlight, Zhao Qiu ordered the soldiers to leave the camp and hide around...

However, the 20 Sui troops said they would withdraw from the barracks, so they quit the barracks, which is by no means an easy task.

Fortunately, Zhao Qiu had already ordered people to plan in advance, and the plan was well-planned, whoever withdraws first, who withdraws second, and who withdraws last.

Who retreats where?Where to withdraw?

Then how to fight back and so on, has already been planned properly.

After that, they rehearsed one by one.

...

Of course, the prairie cavalry was hiding far away, more than 200 miles away.

Because the prairie cavalry did not dare to get close.

It's close, and it's easy to be spotted by the new Sui army.

Far away, it is not conducive to launching an attack.

At noon the day before yesterday, tens of thousands of cavalrymen marched slowly after they had fed their horses with fodder.

The north is mostly plains, and the cavalry advances very fast.

In the evening, after an extra meal, tens of thousands of soldiers galloped on horses.

Thousands of horses are galloping, setting off billows of dust.

...

The cavalry galloped, galloping with the night.

The leading general is none other than Dagu Natai.

He was ordered by "Ba Fenghan" to lead the soldiers to China.

According to the order of "Ba Fenghan", Dagu Natai led [-] cavalry and had to assist Li Shimin to deal a fatal blow to Xin Sui at the most critical moment of the North-South War.

Last time, when he was in Hanzhong, Gunatai never dared to lead his troops to attack.

There was always an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart.

It seemed that Yang Xuyan, Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, was like a military god. It seemed that there would be no mistakes in using troops.

Therefore, he has been hesitant.

But tonight, if he doesn't attack again.

I'm afraid Tongguan won't last long.

Therefore, in desperation, after gaining contact with Li Shimin, he took advantage of the moonlight to attack tonight.

Before the attack, he was reminded by Li Shimin that he wrapped a thick strip of cloth on the horse's hoof to prevent the horse nails from piercing.

Sure enough, when Gunatai led troops to attack the army camps of the New Sui Dynasty, there were many horse nails along the way.

After many horses were hit with horse nails, both the man and the horse fell to the ground, causing the people and horses behind to fall down at the same time, causing a chain reaction.

But most of the horses were not injured because the horseshoes were wrapped in thick cloth.

"Come on!"

Even in the dark, the cavalry on the prairie charged extremely fast.

Finally, the cavalry had arrived ten miles away.
