The grassland is thriving in late spring, and the grass is gradually flourishing.

A group of big birds flew through the sky, then slowed down slowly, and finally landed on the edge of a small puddle.

The birds began to drink and look for food.

The distant Yili City loomed in the early morning, and some herdsmen drove their sheep out to graze.

The sheep moved slowly to the distance. The herdsmen held back in the city for a winter, waiting for the opportunity to make up the fat lost by the sheep.

At present, there are thousands of people in the city, whose origins are very diverse. There are many Tatars, Hari people, immortal women... And even those who escaped from Hami.

Every time a new person enters the city, it is a blackmail. Those who disobey will be robbed of everything and then driven out of the city.

A large number of people will naturally be divided into several forces, and then fight each other. Finally, the most powerful one will become the leader.

With a leader, there is an army.

The task of the army in peacetime is to protect its own tribe.

But the army here is too lazy. The shepherds set out. They came out of the city slowly and then sent out to spy everywhere.

The sun came out and shone on the walls of the inner city of Yili, as well as on some tender grass.

A team of scouts spied in the direction of Hami.

This is now a three no matter area. The Rangers of the Ming army, ha lie and meat fans often fight, but they all regard Yili as nothingness.

At the beginning, they ran with sheep when they met Rangers on both sides. When they came back, they found that no one had entered the city.

So the next time they left someone to observe in the city, they found that no matter the Ming army or the coalition army, they didn't get close to the inner city at all.

After a few times, they also lost their skin, so only dozens of scouts came out.

The scouts didn't have breakfast, hungry and listless all the way.

Along the way, some people want to shit, some say they want to eat some dry food, and the party always find excuses for themselves to rest.

A river meanders like a jade belt on the grassland. The grass on the bank is particularly green and tender. Occasionally, a cluster of yellow flowers sways slightly in the wind.

The scouts sat by the river and ate tasteless dry cakes. The raw materials of dry cakes came from the exchange of caravans, but they were not enough to feed the thousands of people in the city, so some people ate meat, some ate cakes, some ate wild vegetables, and some were not allowed to eat wild vegetables

"They also went to farm, just hoping that the wheat wouldn't be burned."

A scout lay on the ground, with tender grass roots in his mouth and longing in his eyes.

"If only I could farm, I wouldn't have to go out in the sun, let alone be killed by those crazy people."

A Shi sighed: "the number of rangers of the coalition army is increasing, and the Ming army is unwilling to show weakness. The blood on both sides is flowing into a river, but they are not interested in this city. What does this mean?"

A sergeant choked on the dry cake, rolled his eyes and swallowed the cake. He quickly drank a mouthful of water, then gasped and said, "they are cooking Eagles!"

"Stay up late?"

There are fewer and fewer people who can cook eagles on the grassland. Every one is forbidden by princes and nobles. They can't borrow it without leisure.

The hundred household officials who led the team yawned and said, "the eagle is not allowed to blink. The eagle is not allowed to blink. Whoever blinks will lose."

A sergeant put away the rest of the cake and asked, "are they just looking at who blinked first?"

The hundred household officials said lightly, "yes, this is the way to cook eagles. There are many coalition troops, but the Ming army is brave. I heard the people above say that this is a way for both sides to test their courage and test each other's strength, but they can't try it."

"Why?"

"Up to now, the firearms guard station of the Ming army has not appeared at all."

One hundred household officials said lazily, "the most powerful thing in the Ming army is firearms, and the most elite cavalry of the coalition army did not appear. This is consumption. See who can't hold it first."

"They have enough capital and almost the same distance. However, Hami of the Ming army is a side wall, while yilibaoli of the coalition army is the capital. Therefore, unless the Ming people continue to increase their troops, they can't get the coalition army."

"Ming people are rich! And they have more people. They can't get Ming people unless they go all out."

The officer leaned against the side of the horse, yawned and said, "let's go."

All of them listlessly mounted in turn. A cavalry looked at the left with a dull look.

"What's that?"

Hearing the sound, the hundred officials looked up to the left, and then their face was as white as paper.

On the left, the sun is shining on the grass, and the earth is steaming.

As if in the twisted air, a group of cavalry rushed over.

The familiar armour made the hundred officials subconsciously shout, "it's the Ming army... Get away!"

The voice was bleak, and the scouts didn't care about any formation. They rushed to the right front to beat the horse and run.

Everyone buried their heads in beating horses and running for their lives. A sergeant's horse suddenly went crazy and took him straight to the Ming army.

Baihu officer knew that he would be fine as long as he avoided the march route of the Ming army, so he stopped his horse and turned back after running out of more than a mile, and then he saw the commander who had just controlled his war horse.

The number of the Ming army is about 2000. If there are too many people, it is not easy to supply, so in each conflict, the people on both sides are almost the same.

Baihu officer looked at his subordinates trying to turn the horses around, but the cavalry of the Ming army came in a flood.

"Shoot an arrow!"

A rain covered the place.

The war horse dashed past.

After the Ming army rushed over, the sergeant had disappeared, and even people and horses became meat mud.

The hundred family officials trembled and said, "how many times is this?"

"My Lord, they only came last month."

The hundred household officials shook their heads and said, "I smell the smell of war. It's wrong!"

"Sir, let's go and have a look."

The hundred household officials hesitated and said, "OK, but stay away, otherwise they will be considered by the Ming army to sneak attack them from the flank."

So they followed up from the left, but carefully kept the distance between the two sides.

"Sir, those scouts on the left are following!"

During the gallop, the commander Yang Xiong glanced to the left and said coldly, "dare to approach, turn around and seize the inner city! Let their wives and children work for us!"

The cavalry brigade rushed all the way to the distance and stopped more than a mile away from the inner city.

Yang Xiong looked through a telescope and said, "the scouts set out immediately. Remember not to fight. Come back when you meet the enemy."

Several teams of scouts drank some water, then changed horses and set off.

Yang Xiong looked at Yili opening the inner city gate. The herdsmen in and out were not afraid at all. He said, "once Yili had no people in it, one side on both sides must go in. That is the beginning of the war, so bear it for the time being."

Li Ying, an officer of thousands of households under his command, asked, "Sir, the coalition forces are not fools. We don't move, we don't move, and they don't move. Both sides are bleeding and fighting here, and there are complaints from the court."

Yang Xiong was drinking water. He smelled the speech and said, "you just transferred here, so I don't know something. Now it has become a training ground for Daming and the coalition army. Both sides are training. By the way, feel each other's strength and courage."

Li Ying said, "that's good. In the past, lower officials stationed in Shaanxi, not to mention the enemy. There are fewer horse thieves, and their brothers have become slippery. If they don't kill again, they can be regarded as a hero."

Yang Xiong shook his head and said, "Daming is victorious everywhere. The coalition forces are a little flustered. We could have let go here. Everyone is safe, but the meat is charming, and the attitude of the court is somewhat ambiguous..."

He stamped his feet, then moved his neck, looked at Yili and said, "Ha lie is not afraid. Meat fans are great enemies, and the texi people were beaten and fled by us by water. Will they come to Daming by land? These courtiers mentioned it a little, but it was only mentioned, which was depressing!"

Li Ying looked forward to saying: "Sir, starting from Emperor Wen, we are victorious outside the Great Wall. Emperor Ren is a good emperor, but... Hey! Your majesty is taught by Emperor Wen. Sir, do you think your majesty will watch meat charming intervene?"

Yang Xiong shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but after the first exploratory fight with the Allied Rangers and reported it, the attitude of the central court is unclear, neither praise nor order. You can taste the taste yourself."
