Northern grassland.


    On the broad field, 50000 cavalry and 100000 war horses gallop day and night.


    Days and nights, never stop.


    Ears are the whistling wind, the horse''s heavy breathing, and the rumbling hoofs around.


    In front of us is the vast grassland, which can''t be seen to the end at a glance.


    Every day I watch the sunset rise and fall from my side. It seems that here, time is infinitely enlarged and people are lost.


    The radiance of the sunset slanted on the sparkling water and reflected in Tang Hao''s eyes in the distance.


    Tang Hao pursed his slightly cracked lips, and his dry voice rushed out of his throat.


    "Full speed! Go to the river and rest!"


    When the order was given, many soldiers suddenly raised their heads.


    After a few days of running, there was no water left in the flat kettle. Now it''s very kind to see this water source again.


    Half of the sunset, the golden wheel has disappeared at the top of the mountain in the sky.


    The dusk at the end of winter is a little cold, and the cold wind gently blows over the green grass.


    The army finally reached the place where there were streams.


    The stream was picked up one by one by big hands full of calluses and slight wounds, put it to his mouth and drank it.


    Surrounded by tired and shaking taxis, they either drank water, filled the kettle, leaned against a stone, or collapsed on the ground and took time to rest.


    The war horse bowed his head and drank the stream, or ate the tender grass everywhere leisurely.


    Even Tang Hao, who has amazing physical strength, feels rather sleepy.


    After pouring a few mouthfuls of cold stream water, Tang Hao pulled out a Hu cake and chewed it.


    Breathing the sober and cold air on the grassland, Tang Hao''s sleepiness dissipated a lot.


    At the eye, the beautiful figure squatted by the stream, and the plain hand picked up the glittering and translucent spray and patted it on the jade surface.


    The golden afterglow outlines the outline of the side face. It looks like a scroll, especially beautiful.


    There was a moment when Tang Hao looked at the picture and sighed in his heart.


    If there had been no such war, perhaps it would have been good for his wife and children to heat the Kang like ordinary people.


    But the current situation could not allow him to fantasize about such a warm picture.


    The rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty, the honor and disgrace, and the people''s living and working in peace and contentment now fall on him, a great commander in a foreign land.


    Thinking, the figure by the river still finished washing.


    Li Wanqing, who had not looked in the mirror for a long time, looked at the shaking reflection in the river, rubbed her cheeks and squeezed out a smile.


    When I got up and looked back, I saw the figure looking at myself.


    It seems that at this moment, the hard and tired of the attack for several days dissipated without a trace at this moment.


    Walking towards Tang Hao with light steps, although facing the cold wind, Li Wanqing''s heart is warm.


    A pair of big hands handed a dried meat wrapped in paper, and the voice of concern followed.


    "Eat some dried meat. You should replenish your strength."


    "There''s still a long way to go."


    In this deserted grassland, it''s a blessing that such an attacking team can eat dried meat.


    Looking at the fist sized dried meat, Li Wanqing swallowed a mouthful of saliva.


    It''s not because of greedy insects, but it''s too much physical exertion to keep running these days.


    There was no oil or water in my stomach, and the dried noodles were really hard to swallow.


    Li Wanqing also knew the value of dried meat, secretly pursed her lips and said.


    "I''m not hungry, or you eat..."


    I wanted to say a few words of refusal, but my stomach didn''t strive to make a coo.


    Hearing the sound, Tang haolang smiled, stuffed the dried meat into Li Wanqing''s hand and said.


    "Take it! If you don''t agree, you''re going to rebel."


    Hearing the teasing words, Li Wanqing suddenly flew a red glow on her face and lowered her head in shame.


    Seeing Li Wanqing''s embarrassment, Tang haohun doesn''t care. He turns to Chumo and yells.


    "Gather the generals. I have important arrangements!"


    Since entering the grassland, Tang Hao only felt that his burden had suddenly increased, and the whole person''s nerves were tense.


    Especially when two Han villages were slaughtered, Tang Hao clearly knew the importance of the war.


    If this war is won, the northern part of the Tang Dynasty will be peaceful, and the tragedies of the two villages along the way will not happen. The people who are used to nomadic life in the whole northern part can also live and work in peace and contentment and enjoy their family.


    If it fails, the East Turks will have a chance to breathe. Not only will the village tragedy occur, but even the whole northern territory of Datang will be trampled by Turkic cavalry.


    What''s more terrible is that after the war, there are no more cavalry in Datang!


    It''s not easy to train a qualified cavalry!


    Under the continuous fire of war, I don''t know how many young lives will disappear in the smoke of gunpowder, and how many families will become fragmented.


    For Tang Hao, this is a war that can only be won, and it is also a war that determines the world in the first World War.


    The seemingly calm and smiling face was actually shown to the generals and soldiers.


    Under this uncertain and calm face, there is a real face under great pressure and nervous tension.
