Chapter 1460 The vixen turned into a tigress!

After receiving the report from the scout, Yun Zheng couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

The enemy suddenly changed its marching direction?

Southwest direction?

Before Yun Zheng could give any instructions, Lin Ji came up with a map.

Yun Zheng's eyes kept moving on the map.

Soon, Yun Zheng determined the enemy's intentions.

"The enemy must have discovered the 3,000 troops that Xiao Dingwu had sent out. They don't want to waste time fighting them, so they want to go around the Ada River Valley to flank them!"

Yun Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his mind started to work rapidly.

Obviously, the enemy general also realized that the position of those 3,000 men was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

They have only more than 10,000 people. If they fight head-on, even if they can defeat the 3,000 troops, they will surely suffer heavy losses, and the point of supporting Gongbu will be lost.

It would take at most two more days to go around their flank.

In the eyes of the enemy general, this is definitely a deal that is sure to make a profit!

"So, we can rush over there in advance and ambush the enemy in the Ada Valley?"

Miaoyin asked Yun Zheng with a smile.

"Ok!"

Yun Zheng nodded, "We are only 40 miles away from the Ada Valley. We can arrive there before dark today. By then, we can take advantage of the situation and find a suitable place nearby to ambush the enemy!"

Having said that, Yun Zheng immediately gave an order, ordering the army to change its direction and march towards the Ada River Valley.

At the same time, Yun Zheng ordered the scouts to continue to investigate the enemy's movements and try to avoid encounters with enemy spies so as to prevent the enemy from guessing their intentions.

"Your Highness, the grass and water are more abundant in that direction. There must be many herdsmen there. What should we do if we encounter them?"

Lin Ji asked tentatively.

Lin Ji's question stumped Yun Zheng.

According to their past experience, they would definitely kill them directly without leaving any trouble, so as to prevent them from tipping off the enemy and letting the enemy know their intentions.

But now, if they want to conquer this plateau, they must adopt some conciliatory tactics.

If I kill too many, I'm afraid I'll...

After thinking for a while, Yun Zheng's eyes suddenly flashed with coldness, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Kill!"

As the word "kill" came out of his mouth, the iron-blooded aura in Yun Zheng burst out again.

never mind!

The good guys will save it for later when they conquer Xiqu!

Now that we are in wartime, we must follow the rules of wartime!

They didn't even have tents or baggage with them, they couldn't take the risk!

He must first be responsible for these seven or eight thousand horses!

"Yes!"

Lin Ji obeyed the order.

Soon, the army set out again.

This journey is not easy.

Just before noon, someone came to report that dozens of soldiers in the rear had fallen ill, their bodies limp and unable to move at all.

Upon receiving this news, Yun Zheng couldn't help feeling helpless.

After a long march and camping in the wild last night, coupled with altitude sickness, some people finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Lin Ji!"

"The general is here!"

"Give dozens of horses to the sick people! Also, give orders that from now on, all the horses will take turns riding! Don't be stingy with the horses, give people first!"

"Yes!"

Lin Ji quickly took the order and left.

After a day of forced march, they finally arrived near the Adda River Valley before dark.

This time was slightly longer than Yun Zheng had expected.

However, there is nothing we can do about it.

Except for a few ancient roads, there are no real roads in Xilin area, and many places have to be detoured due to the obstruction of mountains.

Moreover, the thin oxygen on the plateau is not conducive to rapid marches.

It's already very good that we can get here before dark.

If they had not abandoned their baggage and tents, they would never have been able to make it.

After a day's march, there were dozens of sick soldiers in the army.

Several of Lian Yunzheng's personal guards fell ill.

Yun Zheng immediately ordered the troops to rest and regroup, and at the same time asked people to set up the tents they had snatched from the herdsmen so that the sick would have a place to settle.

This night was destined to be another difficult night.

After a night, the number of sick people in the army increased by about two hundred.

Yun Zheng was helpless about this result.

This cannot be blamed on the soldiers not getting enough training.

The biggest reason is that the oxygen is thin on the plateau.

Fortunately, they selected strong and elite soldiers who had adapted to the situation in Ganci for a few days. Otherwise, half of them would probably have collapsed after such a march.

In the morning, Yun Zheng ate some dry food and started to prepare.

Near noon, Yun Zheng finally received news that the enemy army was approaching the Ada River, about ten miles away from them.

Upon receiving this news, Yun Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

They even abandoned their tents and baggage!

If the enemy didn't come, who would they ask for responsibility for their losses?

Yun Zheng took a deep breath and immediately ordered: "Lin Ji, you will lead 2,500 people to ambush us in the southeast direction! Once the enemy enters the valley, lead your troops to attack immediately!"

Lin Ji was stunned, and quickly said: "I will just take a thousand men!"

There were only three thousand guards.

He took away 2,500 people, so His Highness would only have 500 people around him, right?

"Do not talk nonsense!"

Yun Zheng glared at Lin Ji. "A few hundred people are enough for me. Your mission is to block the hole below the river valley and prevent the enemy from escaping! If the enemy discovers our ambush, it will be up to you to drive the enemy into the valley! If you fail to complete the mission, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"The general will get the order!"

Lin Ji didn't dare to say anything more and hurried forward to inspect the troops.

Afterwards, Yun Zheng called a few more people and drove the cattle and sheep that they had looted from the herdsmen grazing nearby into the valley, and ordered a few people to disguise themselves as herdsmen.

The last time they fought with the State of Li, the generals of the State of Li noticed something was wrong because they did not take into account that the herdsmen had to graze in places with abundant water and grass.

Although we won in the end, it was also a lesson.

The same mistake must not be made a second time.

After Yun Zheng arranged everything, Miaoyin immediately pulled Yun Zheng aside and said, "You only have so many people around you. If you dare to lead the guards to charge into battle, don't blame me for knocking you out and taking you away!"

"Um... it's not that serious, right?"

Yun Zheng smiled awkwardly, "The enemy has come from afar, we should wait for them to tire themselves out or ambush them..."

"Don't talk to me about this!"

Miaoyin interrupted Yun Zheng fiercely, "You want to lead the troops to charge into battle yourself, unless we are surrounded by heavy enemy forces and have to break out! Otherwise, don't even think about it!"

Got it!

The vixen turned into a tigress!

Yun Zheng looked at Miaoyin bitterly and asked, "Before we left the Imperial City, did Luoyan and the others tell you anything?"

"no!"

Miaoyin snorted, "Fight the same way you did when you attacked the Kingdom of Li! Don't lead the troops into battle all the time. You are the Grand Marshal of the Army, not the Commander of the Blood-Cloaked Army!"

When fighting against the Li Dynasty, Yun Zheng never received orders to charge into battle, he only gave orders to direct and dispatch the troops.

She also hopes that every battle in the future will be like this!

"Okay, okay!"

Yun Zheng hugged Miaoyin's waist and sighed helplessly: "Who told me that I can't beat you? Oh, it seems that I still need to practice more in the future!"

Bang!

Miaoyin raised her hand and gently elbowed Yun Zheng in the chest, which caused Yun Zheng to laugh evilly...
