There were 40,000 people participating in the oath-taking in Baishiguanzhong, but in fact, less than 30,000 people came out with Yan Liqiang, because among the people participating in the oath-taking were the defenders of Baishiguan. These defenders were led by Tieyunshan and were in charge of Baishiguan. They not only had to ensure the safety of Baishiguan, but also were responsible for the logistics supply of Yan Liqiang and their army. Although they were not on the front line, their responsibilities were also not light.

In addition to the 17,000 Dragon Ya army, Yan Liqiang also had 10,000 cavalry from the Ganzhou army supported by Ries, a total of 27,000 people.

Among the 17,000 people of the Longya Army, Yan Liqiang built about 12,500 people of the archers and cavalry, divided into five battalions. Yan Liqiang personally served as the chief general of the two battalions, Shi Changfeng, Chen Teng and Shi Dafeng each led one battalion. The elites trained by the entire bow club were almost full. These 2,500 people were also the result of Yan Liqiang's efforts in the years after he returned to Ganzhou.

There are still five thousand troops in the Longya Army, which were the team of the former Pingxi County Cavalry Battalion. After a period of survival of the fittest and strict training, these two battalions are both traditional cavalry in the northwest. The main weapons are long weapons such as long guns and swords. The chief officers of these two battalions were also appointed by Yan Liqiang. One is Wang Naiwu and the other is Gong Tieshan. These two people are both powerful generals in the Qiyun County Army. Among them, Gong Tieshan is an old acquaintance of Yan Liqiang. Gong Tieshan is like Tieyun Mountain stationed at Baishi Pass. In the Qiyun County Army, he is not only qualified but also has some names. Therefore, he is nicknamed the two "Iron Mountains" in the Longya Army by the captain in the army. However, one of these two iron mountains is stationed at Baishi Pass, making it difficult for Shatu people to surpass the Thunder Pool. There is also an iron mountain, which is too big and almost cannot be lifted by three or five ordinary men.

The cavalry of the Ganzhou Army was led by Zhao Dachuan and divided into four battalions. Zhao Dachuan led one battalion himself, and the battalion generals of the other three battalions were also subordinates of Zhao Dachuan, who were extremely brave.

Yan Liqiang only found out after leaving the customs that one of the three battalions under Zhao Dachuan was named Captain Lei Mengyingyang, who was actually Li Sitong's nephew.

The troops, which were less than 30,000 people, actually wanted to recapture the Gulang Grassland. In the past, if someone heard such rumors, he would definitely think it was a joke, because it was completely impossible. Even four months ago, a group of generals and schools in Qiyun County thought it was an impossible task, but now, no one thought so, because as soon as Yan Liqiang and his friends came out of seclusion, the people around Yan Liqiang's army were like snowballs, rolling bigger and bigger, and the more they rolled. Within a radius of seventy or eighty miles, the number of gatherings of Rangers and various militia armed forces entering the Gulang Grassland to make money exceeded 100,000.

The Rangers and militia armed forces wandered around Yan Liqiang's army. From the beginning of the Baishi Pass, Yan Liqiang's army left, and those people followed. Yan Liqiang's army stopped, and those people stopped. With Yan Liqiang's army as the core, Yan Liqiang's army did not even need to send any scouts within a hundred miles along the way. As long as there is any disturbance and discover the enemy situation, those people like the Rangers will immediately pounce on and grab their heads. If the head really cannot be robbed, someone will quickly react to the situation to the army led by Yan Liqiang.

The fire-eyed golden eagle enveloped Yan Liqiang's powerful army like a high-altitude satellite, paying attention to the situation in all directions at any time. Around Yan Liqiang's army, more than 100,000 troops like marching ants. In this case, the detective cavalry of the Seventh Tribe of Shatu and the Black Capricorns, not to mention wanting to sneak attack Yan Liqiang's and their troops, even connecting Yan Liqiang's and their army within a radius of fifty miles has become a life-threatening task.

Yan Liqiang and his team marched on the grassland for two hundred miles a day, either rushing or slow. They walked along for seven consecutive days, but they didn't meet half of Shatu people. It was like organizing a trip to the grassland. This made Wang Naiwu, Gong Tieshan, Zhao Dachuan, Lei Meng and others who were thinking about cutting their heads were so anxious that they wanted to curse themselves.

But in the face of such a situation, those anxious people had no choice. This time, Yan Liqiang's first target was Shatu Qi tribe, but Shatu Qi tribe gathered around Xingxing Lake. In the past two months, the small and medium-sized tribes scattered in Shatu Qi tribe, who survived by chance, had all evacuated to the Xingxing Lake area to gather. On the Gulang Grassland, it was harder to find a few lonely Shatu people than to find golden characters in the sand. The movements of Yan Li's powerful army were naturally nervous and concerned for the people of Shatu Qi tribe. Shatu Qi tribe also sent a lot of scout cavalry teams. However, before the scout cavalry teams could meet the edge of Yan Liqiang and their army, their heads became popular, and were picked by the rangers and militia gathered around Yan Liqiang and their army.

For seven consecutive days, Wang Naiwu, Gong Tieshan, Zhao Dachuan, Lei Meng and others only heard the heads of some certain rangers cutting down on Shatu people in a few kilometers ahead. A certain boss led his brothers to ambush a team of Shatu people and reconnaissance cavalry. They were all ready to go, but they couldn't even touch a single hair of Shatu people. In the end, the 27,000 troops were left with only some corpses and blood stains on the ground that remained after the battle. In this case, it would be impossible to make people not get angry.

Only when you are stern and strong, the more you go, the more you become more determined and calm.

At noon on the eighth day, Yan Liqiang and his "army" finally arrived more than 500 miles away from Xingxing Lake. It was here that Yan Liqiang and his "army" sent by the Seventh Division of Shatu were first encountered...

It was actually not many people, at least much less than Yan Liqiang expected, with only 40,000 troops. When this "army" was still more than 300 miles away from Yan Liqiang and the others, Yan Liqiang already knew that this army was rushing towards his team. When it was more than 100 miles away, Yan Liqiang had already received news from scouts in the army. Within a hundred miles, news from Rangers and the militia kept coming, and had completely grasped the whereabouts of the "army". Almost every two or three minutes, news from the Shatu people "army" came.

Because they were too many people and were full of momentum, the rangers along the way and the scattered militia teams could only avoid them except for being able to harass them, and they did not dare to run into them head-on. The "army" of the Seventh Division of Shatu rushed towards Yan Liqiang and the others fiercely.
