Chapter 1492: Jia Yao's Violence

Shanghe is in the northeast direction.

Jia Yao has already led six thousand cavalrymen into hiding.

At the same time, Jia Yao also sent out scouts to closely monitor the movements of the enemy.

Near noon, Jia Yao received the news brought back by the scout.

A group of enemy cavalry has passed Pingji and is marching towards Heji.

If nothing unexpected happens, the enemy should be chasing Shen Kuan and his men.

"How many cavalrymen does the enemy have?"

Jia Yao asked immediately.

"At least four thousand men and horses!"

The enemy was marching quickly and the scouts were unable to make an accurate judgment.

More than four thousand troops?

Jiayao lowered his eyebrows and thought.

This number of people is not that many!

With the 6,000 cavalry under her command, it would not be difficult to wipe out this group of enemy cavalry.

But she had to consider the casualties.

After all, these 6,000 cavalrymen are their foundation.

If we want to make a big move, just killing several thousand enemy cavalry seems a bit petty!

Jia Yao thought silently for a while, and immediately gave the order: "Order Shen Kuan to lead his troops to find a favorable terrain, and temporarily delay the enemy's cavalry while ensuring the safety of his troops! Send more scouts to investigate the movements of the enemy's main force!"

If the enemy's rear army wants to seize Pingji, they can easily eat up the enemy's rear army.

When the enemy's cavalry units come back to support, set up an ambush and severely damage the enemy's cavalry!

If this goal is achieved, all the gaps in the direction of Gyeonggi Province will be opened.

If we do something in Gyeonggi Province later, maybe we can wipe out some of the enemy’s troops!

"Yes!"

The messenger quickly took the order and left.

Li Gu quickly figured out Jia Yao's intention. While lamenting Jia Yao's big appetite, he tentatively asked, "Madam Jia Yao, isn't this a bit too risky?"

"Nothing to risk!"

Jia Yao shook his head slightly, "Let's keep an eye on the enemy's rear troops first. If the enemy's rear troops don't move, then we will lead our troops to raid the enemy's cavalry! As long as nothing unexpected happens to Shen Kuan, there will be no problem!"

Shen Kuan still has 5,000 troops under his command.

Compared with the enemy cavalry, they were indeed outnumbered.

But as long as they choose the right terrain for defense, they can completely delay the enemy cavalry.

Once the enemy's rear army is attacked, the enemy's cavalry will inevitably return to support.

And this is their chance!

In other places, she might not be so sure, but in Pingji, she was absolutely sure.

Last year, she led her troops to confront Gao Quan in Pingji for a long time.

She knows the terrain around Pingji very well!

Seeing that Jia Yao had made up her mind, Li Gu didn't know what to say and could only sigh silently in his heart.

Except for Madam Jiayao, no one else here dares to do this.

After all, these 6,000 cavalrymen were their last remaining assets.

Let alone defeat, even a narrow victory would be considered a failure for them.

Only a complete victory will be worthwhile.

More than an hour later, Jia Yao received news sent back by scouts from two directions almost simultaneously.

The enemy's cavalry had already approached Shen Kuan's troops, and Shen Kuan led his troops to delay the enemy at an unnamed mountain pass.

In another direction, the enemy's main force was advancing rapidly towards Pingji.

After receiving the news sent back by the scout, Jia Yao immediately gave the order without hesitation: "Pass the order, all troops follow me to launch a surprise attack! Send more scouts and keep a close eye on the movements of the enemy cavalry!"

As the order was given, Jia Yao quickly led his troops to launch a surprise attack in the direction of the enemy's rear.

……

Flat set direction.

Alec was leading his troops towards Pingji.

At the same time, Alec also received news sent back by the front cavalry.

Alec felt relieved when he learned that the cavalry had caught up with the enemy.

Now, he only needs the cavalry to hold back the enemy forces!

As long as their main force catches up, they will be able to trap the enemy on that nameless hill.

By then, they will be able to wipe out this enemy force in one fell swoop and avenge their previous shame!

Alec became very excited when he thought of the opportunity to avenge his previous humiliation. He ordered the army to speed up their march towards Pingji. After resting in Pingji tonight and marching quickly for another day tomorrow, they should be able to meet up with the cavalry in the front.

Just when Alec was getting excited, the spy suddenly came galloping on his horse.

"General, a large number of enemy cavalry appeared on our right wing, and they are..."

Before the spy could finish his words, the sound of thousands of horses galloping suddenly reached Alec's ears.

The sound came closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer.

Alec suddenly shuddered.

trap!

He suddenly realized that this was a trap set by the enemy!

"Quick, order all troops to form a formation and start defense on the spot!"

"Order the front cavalry to return immediately! Quick!"

Alec's excitement disappeared in an instant.

Instead there was panic and fear.

Fell into the trap again!

He only thought that the enemy was going to retreat, and never imagined that the enemy's purpose was to lure away their cavalry units and take advantage of the time when their main force entered Pingji to raid their main force!

Damn Shen Kuan!

So cunning!

Alec cursed Shen Kuan madly in his heart, and panickedly ordered his troops to form a formation and defend.

However, even he, the commander-in-chief, was so panicked, let alone the others.

Faced with a large-scale cavalry raid, the entire army fell into chaos in an instant, and there was no time to form a battle formation to resist the cavalry raid.

"Dengdeng..."

The sound of horse hooves is getting closer.

"kill!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a deafening shout of killing!

Accompanied by billowing smoke and dust, the two thousand cavalry responsible for charging the battle line quickly broke through the enemy's incomplete battle formation, and in an instant the enemy's incomplete formation was shattered.

The cavalry on both sides quickly deployed the most commonly used archery method of the Northern Huan, riding their horses and shooting arrows continuously.

Jia Yao bent his bow and shot three arrows at once.

"Whizzing……"

Three arrows flew into the air, and three enemy soldiers fell to the ground.

Li Gu looked at Jia Yao with admiration.

It seems that Madam Jiayao’s archery skills have become even more powerful!

Jia Yao bent his bow and drew his arrow again, and ordered Li Gu: "Leave 100 men with you! The rest of you should charge at once! Make a quick decision, don't waste time, the enemy cavalry will come back soon!"

These bastards, why are they all protecting her instead of dealing with so many enemies?

Although she knew that these people had good intentions, the immediate task was to quickly eliminate the enemy's main force.

This way, they would have enough time to set an ambush for the enemy cavalry.

Li Gu hesitated for a moment, glanced at the situation on the battlefield, and saw that the enemy had been defeated by their sudden attack. Then he loudly accepted the order: "Yes!"

Soon, Li Gu personally led two hundred guards to reap the lives of the enemy.

This group of enemy troops had hardly any rest last night, and had been rushing all the way today, so they were already exhausted. Facing the sudden attack of their cavalry, they had little ability to resist.

Soon, the enemy began to collapse under their ruthless killing.

Seeing that the situation was settled, Jia Yao immediately ordered all units to pursue the enemy and kill as many as possible...
