Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

Adjacent to the Great Wall, tens of thousands of Tatar troops pressed in like a dark cloud, with their tents connected to each other like a black ocean.

The neighing of horses and the shouting of soldiers intertwined together, creating an endless clamor in this border area.

The Tatar Chanyu was in the main tent, with a sheepskin map spread out on the table in front of him. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes, as sharp as an eagle, scanned the mountains, rivers, and important passes on the map.

There was a wild flame flickering in the depths of his eyes.

Yang Dechang stood beside Chanyu Yu Fuluo, bowed slightly, and gestured with his fingers on the map: "Chanyu, you see, the terrain here is dangerous, but Dayu's border troops are scattered. If we break through these places, we can definitely break in easily."

There was a sinister light flashing in Yang Dechang's eyes. He had a deep understanding of Dayu's border defense.

In his eyes, Dayu's borders were full of loopholes.

Upon hearing this, the Tatar Chanyu nodded slightly.

"Well, keep talking."

His voice was low and hoarse, carrying the majesty of a grassland overlord.

"The border states and counties of Guanzhong are populous and rich in resources. As soon as our army arrives, all that gold, silver, treasures, grain, and livestock will be in the Great Chanyu's pocket."

Yang Dechang tapped on the map, carefully depicting the population of each city and county, as well as the arable land, the annual harvest and the wealth that could be accumulated over the years.

A greedy look suddenly appeared on Yu Furuo's face, as if he had already seen the wealth he had robbed, and he laughed out loud with his head raised.

"Hahahaha, this Chanyu will take over Dayu's glorious kingdom."

Yu Furo's laughter echoed in the tent, shaking it slightly, and the ambition in his eyes became stronger.

"The Chanyu is wise. This expedition will surely yield a fruitful return."

Yang Dechang said flatteringly.

"Pass on my order. Have Agula lead 10,000 cavalry as the vanguard. Follow the path pointed out by Mr. Yang and explore the way first. If there is an opportunity, rob them first."

Yu Furuo waved his hand and gave the order.

Outside the tent, Agula, Yufuluo's third son, heard this, his eyes filled with excitement and ambition. He knelt on one knee and said, "Father, rest assured. I will fulfill my mission and defeat Dayu's border troops."

He was wearing armor, had a burly build, and had a face similar to Yu Furo's.

"Go ahead, don't underestimate the enemy, and report back immediately if you have any news."

Yu Furuo looked at his son with expectations and warnings in his eyes.

"My child understands."

Agula took the order, turned around and strode towards a warhorse.

He jumped on his horse and quickly counted out 10,000 cavalrymen from the camp. Then, he raised his scimitar high and shouted to the 10,000 cavalrymen, "Warriors, follow me and rob Dayu of his wealth and women!"

"Ouch——"

Ten thousand cavalrymen shouted in unison, the sound of horse hooves rang out like thunder, and they turned into a steel torrent, galloping towards the border of Dayu.

The raised dust covered the sky and the sun, as if foreshadowing the coming of a bloody storm.

Yu Fuluo walked out of the tent and looked at the soldiers and horses leaving. The corners of his mouth curled up: "Yang Dechang, if this succeeds, you will have made an indelible contribution."

"Thank you for your compliments, Chanyu. This is all part of your grand plan and I am only doing my bit."

Yang Dechang said respectfully, but he was plotting his own scheme in his heart.

Let the Tatars deal with Ye Chen, and then he will see whether to fight to the death with Ye Chen or to benefit from it.

As soon as the Tatar army took action, the noble families in the border areas immediately sent out fast horses to deliver the news to Chang'an City.

Soon, a fast horse rushed out of Chang'an City carrying the imperial edict issued by Ye Chen.

At this time, the Tatar cavalry who had successfully entered Dayu's territory found a valley to camp for the night.

Early the next morning.

Agula rode on a tall horse, holding a scimitar high.

"Warriors, today we serve as the vanguard to expand the territory of the Great Tatars. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

"kill!"

Ten thousand cavalrymen shouted in unison, the sound of their horses' hooves made the earth tremble slightly, and they rushed out like a black torrent.

Seeing this, Agula's mouth curled up. Following Yang Dechang's instructions, the army really entered an empty land and encountered almost no resistance along the way.

This made Agula even more excited, with greed flashing in his eyes. He seemed to have seen the gold, silver, treasures and beautiful women in the nearby states and counties.

"Haha, these places of Dayu will become our pastures in the future."

Agula laughed wildly.

But what he didn't know was that not far in front of him, in a dangerous place, Ma Yu had already led his troops there last night and set up an ambush.

The place he chose was a valley sandwiched between two mountains, with extremely steep terrain, making it an ideal place for an ambush.

At this moment, Ma Yu stood on the top of the mountain, staring sharply at the passage in the valley below, and the armor on his body flashed coldly in the sunlight.

Finally, he sighed softly.

Since becoming the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Frontier Army, he has been working diligently all day long.

I'm afraid of losing this job.

After all, his current status was all given by Ye Chen, and when Ye Chen first started to attack the aristocratic families, he felt uneasy, fearing that he would not be able to control his subordinates.

But the new policy issued by Ye Chen completely dispelled his doubts.

He now only hopes that this battle can be fought beautifully so that his position will be more stable.

At this time, 30,000 infantrymen had already ambushed on both sides, holding strong bows and crossbows in their hands, and there were huge rocks piled around them.

When Agula's 10,000 cavalry entered the valley, Ma Yu waited for a while. Just as the front cavalry had already rushed out of the valley, he suddenly shouted, "Shoot!"

In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired at the Tatar cavalry like raindrops.

"Enemy attack! Ambush!"

Someone among the Tatar cavalry exclaimed.

Agula's face changed

Immediately afterwards, arrows flew like locusts, and many cavalrymen were shot and fell off their horses.

The next moment, huge rocks rolled down the valley and hit the Tatar cavalry.

For a moment, people and horses fell to the ground and screamed in agony.

"Charge! Charge out!"

Realizing that he was ambushed, Agula was horrified and said quickly.

However, the next moment, Ma Yu personally led the cavalry and rushed towards the exit of the valley!
