The grand army advanced in mighty formation, but they had only marched for about the time of a single meal; just as they reached the Cangtou River, the vanguard halted.
All along the way, one scout after another came galloping back from ahead, all of them the hidden sentries the Western Turks had stationed within a radius of more than ten li around the Yatai, returning to report.
The last one rushed up before Ashina Shali, not even dismounting, and blurted out anxiously, "Khan, the enemy is less than two li ahead, they are charging toward us at full speed!"
"...!"
Hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
Even Shang Ruyi couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath—about half an hour earlier, when the first sentry returned to report, Yu Wenye's troops were still more than ten li from the Yatai, and now, they were actually about to reach the Cangtou River Valley!
Their marching speed was so fast!
