Wang Buxi, who was in charge of raising food and fodder for Yunzhou, had lost a lot of weight.

This time, Wang Buxi did not plan to borrow grain from the people of Yunzhou, because this war was different from the previous one and it was unknown how long it would last.

Wang Buxi sent many people to Shuozhou, Hezhong and other places to buy grain, but before they could buy much, they received a new imperial edict from the emperor.

Although the government has expressed itself very well and spoken very nicely, Yunzhou has not received a single grain of rice from Kyoto so far!

There has been no sign of that 50,000-man army yet!

The Yunzhou army had been waiting for the arrival of 50,000 reinforcements, and then handed over the seven towns of Yunzhou to the reinforcements, and then the army set out again.

But now, the movements of the Tartar vanguard have been discovered to the north of Baihe River, and they have begun to set up camp to the north of Baihe River.

If Gu Nanxi doesn't take action and lets them continue to push the front line southward, the Yunzhou army will face the situation of losing water source!

"General, we have to go!" Gu Hai was wearing armor and his thick eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

Gu Nanxi took a deep breath. This kind of large-scale struggle involving hundreds of thousands of people had never happened before since the founding of the country, whether it was all the generals of Yunzhou or the entire Great Zhou.

Just getting these hundreds of thousands of troops to set up camp at the Baihe River as planned was a daunting challenge.

"Alechuan, we can only take away ten days' worth of food and fodder. Can you protect the safety of our logistics supply line?"

It’s not that Gu Nanxi didn’t want to bring more, but Yunzhou could only raise this much food and fodder, and the rest was still on the way.

Alechuan clenched his right fist, pounded his chest, and his face was determined as if he was ready to die: "I will complete the mission until I die!"

Gu Nanxi nodded to Alechuan and said, "Let's go!"

The entire army gathered and prepared to march north out of Fuming Town. After about a day's march, the atmosphere was completely different.

Because from this day on, the Yunzhou army lost the protection of the city, exposing its main force in the wilderness and within the attack range of the Tatar cavalry.

The disadvantages of large-scale troop assembly also gradually began to emerge.

Fortunately, the well-trained Gu family army was in good order.

Among the grassland soldiers who joined temporarily, there were always some who could not control themselves. They disliked the slow pace of the army and left the team. Under the whip of the tribal leader, they returned in disgrace.

The entire army looked messy and bloated.

In response to this, Gu Nanxi took personal command, starting from early morning, fully utilizing the role of grassroots cadres in the army and reorganizing the army.

At Gu Hai's suggestion, the army gave up the long snake formation and instead let Gu's army go in the front, followed by Boss Li, followed by the grassland soldiers, Fu Mingyuan, and Qin Bohuai guarding the left and right wings respectively, with the civilians and baggage in the middle, and finally Gu Nanxi led a part of the Yunzhou cavalry to suppress the attack.

At the same time, Gu Nanxi also ordered that during the march, the spearmen should be lined up in the front, the archers should follow behind, the baggage vehicles of each unit should be arranged on the left and right, and the cavalry should also be divided on both sides.

This is a typical marching formation to guard against cavalry raids.

The veteran generals crossing the sea, as well as Qin Bohuai and others were actually not optimistic about this formation. It was not because there was a problem with the formation, but because there were nearly 50,000 grassland cavalry in it.

These cavalrymen had not received any military training, and their mode of warfare had always been the same as on the grasslands.

Being able to get them to the designated location intact is a huge success!

But the fact is, the grassland soldiers really followed the team obediently!

Because Gu Nanxi sent the grassland soldiers from the original Yunzhou special forces to various tribes on the grassland!

Holding the wooden plaque engraved with Gu Nanxi's autograph, these grassland soldiers can turn those troublemakers who don't take the tribal leader seriously into docile lambs!

The role of promoting educational courses in the Yunzhou troops was also fully demonstrated at this moment.

The grassland soldiers who were sent to the tribe quickly organized a simple organizational structure based on what they had learned in the barracks, and the smallest unit could be divided into ten people.

"As expected of a great general!" Gu Hai couldn't help but admire.

"Thinking back to when the army was carrying out ideological education, many soldiers did not understand it. Now it seems that the general is really far-sighted!" Gu Shisan was amazed by Gu Nanxi's operation.

He who can lead 10,000 troops in battle is a talented general.

Being able to lead hundreds of thousands of troops into battle is definitely a talented general!

The general is both a talented general and a talented commander.

After the army was reorganized, it set out again. Hundreds of thousands of troops formed into battle formations, rolling forward like waves, vast and mighty, almost endless.

After arriving at the designated location, the army set up camp according to the strategy for setting up a camp.

In such a war, the preparations before the war determine half of the outcome of the war, and the rest depends on execution and response capabilities.

Gu Nanxi's central army was located on a small hill on the south side of Baihe River.

Standing on the hillside, Gu Nanxi could finally see the full picture of this army of hundreds of thousands.

"Doesn't it look so densely packed that you can't see the end at a glance?" Gu Hai came to say goodbye. He was going to the Zuojun Army to wait for the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Wuzhou.

Gu Shisan, who came along, said with a grin, "The Tartars claim to have an army of 500,000, and we also claim to have an army of 400,000."

When you’re at war, you’re bound to release both true and false information.

How many troops does the enemy have? Who is the main general?

If we can get this information in advance, it will have a great impact on our own formation.

So before every war, false information is flying everywhere.

Gu Shisan: "In fact, our left army only has 40,000 troops, but the news leaked out is 100,000. In order to confuse the Tartars, the soldiers will dig several more stoves when cooking."

If there are enough supplies, Gu Hai also plans to build some more empty tents.

Unfortunately, this war came too hastily.

"General..." Gu Hai didn't know what to say. He looked at the fully armed general in front of him.

Both in appearance and figure, she is a weak woman.

But she used her actual combat record to prove that she was the master of Yunzhou.

Through Gu Nanxi, Gu Hai seemed to see the once world-famous God of War Gu.

Gu Zhanshen died at the peak of his career. Can Gu Nanxi cross this mountain and reach the top?

In a trance, Gu Hai seemed to see the handsome Gu Zhanshen, foolishly showing off Nannan's portrait to his soldiers.

He hopes that his little girl can live in a luxurious environment and enjoy a rich and happy life.

But his little girl chose the war and the smoke of gunpowder, and chose the loneliest and most difficult path in the world.

Gu Hai calmed his mind and said silently in his heart, Boss, if you are still alive in heaven, please fight alongside the general!

Gu Hai clasped his hands together, saluted Gu Nanxi, then mounted his horse without looking back and rushed towards the left army.

Gu Nanxi stood there and watched them leave.

Everything has been arranged in the pre-war analysis, and all that remains is to wait for the moment when the horn is blown!
