Chapter 1281 Attack on the Camp

At midnight, Jia Yao received the news sent back by the scout.

The enemy opened the west gate of Hukou City, and a large number of enemy troops poured out of the west gate and gathered around a small hill three miles southwest of Hukou City.

"Explore again!"

Jia Yao gave the order and closed his eyes in thought.

The small hill southwest of Hukou City?

Could it be that the enemy wanted to go around from there, head straight for Rende City, and then attack Wan'an City.

Or, use part of the troops to contain Qin Qihu's troops of Ren De, launch a surprise attack with cavalry, and directly attack Yun Zheng's troops of Qiming City who are approaching, and capture Yun Zheng at all costs to achieve the goal of turning defeat into victory?

After thinking silently for a while, Jia Yao suddenly shook his head again.

impossible!

Let’s not talk about whether Gao Quan dares to do this. Even if Gao Quan dares, he has to get past Qin Qihu first.

Do you really think heavy cavalry are vegetarians?

Even if they managed to get past Qin Qihu, they would still need the strength to capture Yun Zheng in the army.

I must be overthinking it.

After all, Yun Zheng's defeat made him lose confidence, and when he couldn't figure out the enemy's intentions, he would start to have wild thoughts.

The enemy's target should still be them!

It will take at most two or three hours for them to gather over there and then attack.

Jia Yao shook her head gently, telling herself not to think too much and to trust her own judgment.

"Princess, why don't you take a rest first!"

Qiqige looked at Jiayao distressedly, "If there is any news, I will wake you up immediately."

"Need not."

Jia Yao waved his hand gently and asked, "What is the situation of the soldiers in each unit?"

Qi Qi Ge: "Except for the troops that were sent out, all other troops took turns to rest, but they never left their armor."

"That's good."

Jia Yao nodded slightly, "Don't worry about me, go down..."

Before Jia Yao could finish his sentence, the feeling of nausea came back.

Jia Yao tried desperately to hold back the feeling of nausea, but failed, and quickly turned his head away and dry-heaved twice.

Qiqige naturally noticed Jiayao's abnormality, and immediately stepped forward to support Jiayao, and asked worriedly: "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

"Keep your voice down!"

Jia Yao glared at Qi Qi Ge and retched again.

This time, Qi Qige saw it particularly clearly.

Looking at Jiayao retching, Qiqige became even more worried. Could it be that the princess was sick?

As he was thinking, Qi Qige's eyelids suddenly twitched, and then he looked at Jia Yao with shock on his face.

Pregnant?

She remembered that when her sister-in-law was pregnant two years ago, she often retched like the princess!

At that time, her sister-in-law sometimes couldn't even eat anything and could only drink oil tea, and she couldn't even drink oil tea.

Thinking of this, Qi Qige quickly reached out and gently patted Jia Yao on the back.

After retching for a while, Jia Yao finally recovered and pointed to the water bag next to him.

Qi Qige quickly picked up the water bag, opened it and handed it to Jia Yao.

Jiayao's water bag was filled with salt water with a small amount of salt added. After drinking a few mouthfuls, Jiayao felt a little better.

"Princess, are you...pregnant?"

Qi Qi Ge lowered his voice and asked tentatively.

"should be."

Jia Yao nodded gently, "Just keep this to yourself, don't tell anyone else!"

"what?"

Qi Qi Ge was stunned, "You didn't even tell the prince?"

"Tell him that we should wait until the battle is over! Are you asking me to escape now?"

Jia Yao glared at Qi Qi Ge and whispered, "Shen Kuan must not know about this. Do you hear me?"

"Oh……"

Qi Qige responded in a low voice, "Princess, then you must not lead the army into battle. Just stay in the camp and don't rush forward with the army. In case you get a miscarriage..."

"I see."

Jia Yao interrupted Qi Qi Ge, "Besides, this is not something I can decide! What if the enemy suddenly attacks the camp? Am I going to sit in the camp and wait for the enemy to come? Okay, I know my own situation. It's not as serious as you think."

Although Jia Yao said so, Qi Qi Ge was still worried.

Now, Qi Qige didn't go anywhere and just stayed in Jia Yao's tent, repeatedly asking Jia Yao to rest.

In the end, she even directly threatened Jiayao that if Jiayao didn't rest, she would tell Shen Kuan that Jiayao was pregnant.

Jia Yao had no choice but to lie there and take a nap, but he insisted on not taking off his armor.

Jiayao didn't want to sleep at first, as she was thinking about something, but she was more sleepy during her pregnancy and fell asleep unconsciously after a while.

Qi Qige stayed by Jia Yao's side, and looking at Jia Yao who was sleeping soundly, he couldn't help feeling heartbroken.

After this battle, I hope the princess will stop worrying about Beihuan’s affairs and have a good rest.

Whether it's for herself or for the baby in her belly.

Jia Yao slept for more than an hour.

It was not until the scout sent back the message again that Qi Qige woke up Jia Yao.

Although she couldn't bear to wake up Jia Yao who was sleeping soundly, she had to wake her up after hearing the news.

"The enemy has begun to advance this way?"

Jia Yao quickly shook off his sleepiness and immediately asked the scout, "Did you hear any movement of the enemy's cavalry?"

"No."

The scout replied, shaking his head.

Jia Yao: "Probe again! If there is any movement of enemy cavalry, report immediately!"

"Yes!"

The scout immediately took the order and left.

Jia Yao lowered his eyebrows and thought silently.

The enemy's cavalry did not move, which was indeed somewhat unusual.

If the enemy wanted to raid their camp, it would be impossible for them to send only the infantry in the city.

The enemy cavalry must have wrapped cloth around their horses' hooves and quietly left the city.

Now, the only threat to them was the enemy's cavalry.

"Princess, don't worry."

Qi Qige comforted him: "We have an absolute advantage in military strength, and we have elite soldiers at our disposal. We don't have to be afraid of the enemy at all!"

"This is not a question of whether or not to be afraid." Jia Yao shook his head gently, "When the battle has come to this, we must try to reduce casualties! The enemy can throw in the towel, but we can't!"

Since the war began, the Northern Huan's 10,000 elite cavalry have suffered more than 1,300 casualties.

At this point, she didn't want to be bitten hard by the enemy again.

What she wants is not just victory, but a big victory!

Since she led her troops to raid Shangqing Road, she thought she had fought well.

She wanted a perfect ending.

This time, Jia Yao didn't sleep again.

After taking a short nap, her sleepiness disappeared a lot.

Time passed little by little.

Jia Yao walked out of the tent several times to check the weather outside.

Before we knew it, a hint of dawn had appeared in the sky.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a huge explosion startled all the soldiers.
