So many livestock are obviously not something that only a few thousand cavalry can bring, because such a few people are basically enough to take care of these miscellaneous animals and don’t have to do anything else. At this moment, it is obvious that there is no tribe who is grazing in the direction of Shi Lei and the others. Their speed is obviously not the same.

It seems unreasonable to say that these people came to give gifts to the Tang army. They were so stupid that they would do such things as making meat buns beat dogs. The Tang army could not simply withdraw their troops just because they accepted their bribes. Even political idiots like Shi Lei knew that this was impossible.

Or these guys suddenly got to know each other, and they were planning to kill Shi Lei and the others with many animals. It was obviously unrealistic. If their elite cavalry of more than a thousand were trampled to death by the herd of livestock, they would still be in the endless desert, but they would create history, just the kind of laughing for thousands of years.

So the only possible explanation is that there are corresponding human hands scattered in other directions around. The human hands and livestock on the front are just sweet baits. They are specially used to hook up with Shi Lei and the others, so they are naturally to kill them, such as the elite Tang Dynasty, and they are also the confidant of the Tuyuhun army.

Shi Lei just lacks political wisdom and is not a real idiot. If you think about this, you can still figure it out. And there are two brothers Xue next to him, such a fierce general who has always pretended to be brainless and is actually not bad at brains. He is sincerely reminding Shi Lei, so Shi Lei decisively sent his scout team with multiple water and land lines to go out to inquire about possible trends of other enemies.

Sure enough, Qi Tian and the others soon reported that the enemy's traces were found on both sides of the team, with a much larger number of people than the front ones. They had already formed into the shape of a pocket array, gradually surrounding Shi Lei and the others.

The news brought back by the Flying Eagles also confirmed this. Some Shi Lei and the others have a headache now. They must make up their minds as soon as possible, leaving them with little time to hesitate.

Shi Lei arranged manpower as soon as possible and sent the news to the rear camp. At the same time, he sent scouts and flying eagles to conduct a larger-scale investigation.

Because he was very worried that the tens of thousands of people discovered so far may be just part of a larger plan. If Shi Lei and his vanguard teams, as well as Tuyuhun's men and livestock, were all bait, there might be more troops waiting for them later.

Shi Lei needs to figure out whether there is such a possibility, because as vanguards, in addition to exerting the momentum of a large army and winning a beautiful first battle, they also have the task of exploring the enemy's movements for the army.

If the army is trapped in a heavy siege because the information he reported is not timely and comprehensive enough, then his guilt will be greatly affected. He will basically not run away if he bears most of the guilt.

Shi Lei, who became more and more afraid of thinking, once again increased his exploration efforts and further expanded his area. Fortunately, the number of Feiying was large enough. If there were such an ambush, the number of people would definitely be indispensable, and in the eyes of Feiying, there would definitely be no escape.

Before the first enemy troops really came into sight, the news brought back by the flying eagles once again confirmed Shi Lei's idea.

I don’t know if they were not very good at dealing with each other or if they had their own responsibility. In fact, in another place that was nearly a day away, another tribal coalition composed of tens of thousands of people was found. It seemed that the components were relatively complicated, and it was likely that the Qiang people and Dangxiang people who defected to the Tuyuhun side.

They were not in a hurry to lean over and eat Shi Lei and the others, and they didn't know if they were waiting to watch the show. Or they were more like planning a mantis to stalk the cicada with the oriole behind. The target was either aiming at Li Jing and the main force, or the side master who came to rescue.

However, the battlefield is now one-way transparent to the Tang Dynasty. No matter what their ideas they have, there will naturally be the Grand Marshal Li Jing to deal with it. Shi Lei just needs to follow the military orders and complete his responsibilities.

Perhaps Li Jing knew that he could not expect the three men to make up his own ideas, so after the latest battle report was received, his military order would be returned with the messenger.

The military order clearly required Shi Lei and the others to meet up with the cavalry of Qiheli who were rushing to support him, and they would attack the thousands of Tuyuhun cavalry in the front and pull the so-called ambush circle here. Li Jing would personally command the army and then come, and as much as possible to cover all of these tens of thousands of people.

As for the tribal coalition forces on the other side, there were naturally Li Daliang who led the troops under his command to deal with the matter. This two-pronged approach could completely eliminate most of Tuyuhun's resistance at one time.

Of course, this seemingly simple combat plan has a considerable requirement for Shi Lei, Xue, and Qi Heli, and it also involves the connection between them and the main force. If Li Jing cannot arrive in time, Shi Lei and the others will be really made into dumplings. It is hard to say whether they can escape their lives.

Li Daliang must be able to fight and win the whole way to reduce the pressure on this way, otherwise the army under Li Jing would also face the dilemma of attacking from front to back.

Therefore, this battle is definitely a common test for several armies. You can’t make any mistakes in any link, otherwise it may be a situation where everything will be lost.

Of course, if everything goes well, the results of this battle will definitely be very brilliant. Shi Lei and the others will naturally fail to make the first contribution.

This is how fighting in such a world is. You can’t play too many fun jobs. In the final analysis, you have to talk head-on by strength.

Before Qi Heli's team arrived, Shi Lei and the subordinates of the Xue brothers were quietly waiting for the decisive battle that arrived early to really start.

Most of them are silent, constantly stuffing some high-calorie food into their mouths to replenish their physical strength. At the same time, they just sit on the war horse and close their eyes and rest, and improve their state to the strongest state as much as possible.

Some of the people who were shouting there were basically grassroots officers like the team, who were repeating various precautions for their subordinates.

Like the vanguard team, these cavalrymen are old warriors, and they are not like new recruits. They are always nervous or extremely excited during a big battle. And no one will keep chatting with people, because if they talk too much, they will be exhausted. When the excitement period of the body has passed, their condition will be much worse when they are about to fight.

Such small experiences are difficult for veterans to master, nor are they just talking about them casually. They will definitely understand that they are valuable experiences exchanged for their lives. If you can't learn them, you may use your own lives to pay this expensive tuition. This situation is naturally rare among the carefully selected elite teams.

Shi Lei's mind was also constantly moving. He was constantly determining a more ideal direction to connect with the enemy and the general assault direction based on the movements of his subordinates and the flying eagle.

Not only should we let the other two ambush teams appear as soon as possible, but we cannot really put ourselves in the encirclement, we also have to consider the obstacles that the huge beast group may bring. It is necessary to have an impact route planned in advance. Fortunately, Shi Lei seems to have some talent in this regard. His battlefield intuition is relatively strong, and he can often lead his subordinates to find the enemy's weak links and hit it with one blow.

When Qi Heli led his cavalry and successfully met with Shi Lei and the others, the Tuyuhun cavalry who fought against Shi Lei head-on had already appeared in sight. The rolling smoke and dust behind them seemed to be very intimidating, but Shi Lei valued more, naturally these real opponents.

As Shi Lei expected, Murong Fuyun made a heavy bet on this trip. He probably knew that Shi Lei and the others were particularly strong, so they did not choose the miscellaneous soldiers from other tribes to fight against them, but the elite soldiers from his own command, which were considered to be the truly top-notch soldiers in Tuyuhun. It seems that they really have to fight a tough battle.

In this way, this fierce battle that was originally thought to be just a small-scale contact battle but ended up developing into the ultimate decisive battle, which was truly a start.
