Chapter 1499: Drastic Medicine
"Madam Jiayao, a small number of enemy troops have begun to cross the river!"
As the Gaoqin army began to move, Jia Yao, who had been waiting for a long time, was the first to receive the news sent back by the scouts.
"A small number of enemy troops?"
Gaoyao frowned.
It seems that the enemy is still on guard!
In this case, we must give the enemy a strong dose of medicine!
Thinking of this, Jia Yao immediately gave the order: "Order Shen Kuan to immediately send 7,000 troops to escort the food and grass to the direction of Xuangui. In addition, divide his 3,000 cavalry into three groups and march to Heji, Shanghe, and Duyang respectively!"
"All the cavalrymen heading towards Heji should tie branches to their horses' tails!"
"Tell Shen Kuan to escort the grain slowly. Don't be stupid enough to escort real grain!"
Soon, the messenger took the order and left.
After watching the messenger leave, Jia Yao asked Li Gu again: "How long can our dry food last?"
"It's only enough to last two or three days."
Li Gu answered with some concern.
The enemy was slow to fall into the trap, and it was actually very uncomfortable for them to hide in the mountains.
They attacked with cavalry and did not carry any tents.
Heat, humidity and mosquito bites are all inevitable problems.
It's okay for everyone to persevere for a short period of time.
But as time goes on, I'm afraid there will be many more sick people in the army.
Moreover, if the enemy does not make any moves for a long time, their food and supplies will also be a problem.
The horse can still survive by relying on the wild grass in the mountains, but how can this man survive if he has no food?
It's impossible to kill war horses as military rations like before, right?
"Then hold on for now."
Jia Yao ordered: "Tell all the soldiers that after this battle, I will treat them to meat! Even if the enemy is not fooled, I will let them eat meat even if I have to kill the horses!"
"Madam Jiayao, this...isn't necessary?"
Li Gu was surprised.
Madam Jiayao really intends to kill the war horse?
"Is necessary!"
Jia Yao waved her hand gently, "Just do as I say!"
"Yes!"
Li Gu took the order and left.
Jia Yao let out a breath and was secretly worried.
She originally wanted to consume some of the enemy's troops again, then attack into the enemy's rear and turn the situation upside down.
If the enemy sees through her plan, she will have to attack behind enemy lines in advance!
……
A day later, Yin Zhi received news sent back by the spy.
A small group of enemy cavalry was approaching them, apparently intending to launch a night attack on them.
"A small group of cavalry?"
Yin Zhi frowned slightly, "About how many troops?"
"It should be around a thousand."
The spy replied.
About a thousand?
Yoon-sik smiled.
With only a thousand men, you want to raid their camp?
Dreaming!
Without hesitation, Yin Zhi immediately ordered the spies to keep an eye on the cavalry and ordered all units to remain vigilant.
In the afternoon, Yin Zhi contacted again and received news from Shanghe and Heji.
Above Shanghe, nearly a thousand cavalrymen also took action.
However, a large number of cavalry were advancing in the direction of Heji.
After receiving these two pieces of news, Yin Zhi's heart suddenly moved.
What is Shen Kuan going to do?
Is this the same old trick again?
Shen Kuan has no idea how many times he has used this trick.
Their main cavalry is in the direction of Heji. Could it be that they want to bypass Heji and directly attack Da'an Road where their defense is extremely weak?
Just when Yin Zhi was secretly puzzled, another spy came to report.
Seven or eight thousand enemy troops are escorting food and supplies towards Xuangui!
After hearing this news, Yin Zhi felt terrible.
Black turtle!
Shen Kuan probably knew the news that they sent a small number of troops to cross the river, and based on this news, he discovered the problem with Xuangui and began to send reinforcements to Xuangui!
Shen Kuan had no intention of launching a surprise attack on Da'an Dao!
Shen Kuan sent the main cavalry to that end just to attract their attention and buy time for the reinforcements of Xuangui!
Fortunately, I have been sending people to investigate in that direction, otherwise, I would have been deceived by Shen Kuan again!
Damn!
It was his own hesitation that reminded Shen Kuan, otherwise, he might not be able to react now!
No!
Can't wait any longer!
If Shen Kuan succeeds in sending reinforcements to Xuangui, they will have to pay a heavy price if they want to capture Xuangui again!
We must raid Black Turtle before the reinforcements sent by Shen Kuan arrive!
After we raid Black Turtle, maybe we can send troops from Black Turtle to eat up this reinforcement!
Just do it!
Thinking of the consequences of Shen Kuan sending reinforcements to Xuangui, Yin Zhi could no longer sit still and immediately called his eldest son Yin Shangxun: "Immediately lead 10,000 cavalry to cross the river from the lower reaches and occupy Xuangui before the enemy's reinforcements arrive! Once you occupy Xuangui, immediately lead your troops to raid the enemy's reinforcements heading in the direction of Xuangui!"
"Yes!"
Yin Sangxun obeyed the order loudly.
They should have done this a long time ago!
It's such a waste of time to drag it on until now!
Yoon Sang-hoon quickly assembled his troops and ordered everyone to carry torches.
Although it is not dark yet, they have limited time and must march towards Xuangui overnight to capture Xuangui before the enemy's reinforcements arrive.
As Yoon Sang-hoon led 10,000 cavalrymen away, Yoon Shik secretly regretted it in his heart.
If I had made the decision earlier, the Black Turtle would have fallen into their hands long ago!
Ugh!
I am still affected by Alec's several defeats!
As a general, the worst thing to do is to be indecisive!
I have to correct this bad habit in the future. When it is time to make a decision, I have to make it quickly. I must not procrastinate and miss the opportunity!
Fortunately, it is not too late for them to send troops now!
Successfully capture Xuangui, then eat up the thousands of enemy reinforcements, and then turn around to seize Xiongjin!
In this way, the victory of this battle is determined!
No matter how powerful Yun Zheng is, if there is no place for their reinforcements to come in, Yun Zheng will not be able to make any waves!
Soon, the entire Li Kingdom will belong to him!
This has been his goal for many years!
Thinking that his goal was about to be achieved, Yin Zhi's mood suddenly became relaxed, and he immediately ordered someone to call Hailanduo.
With the arrival of Hailanduo, a sound that made the soldiers outside the tent feel hot all over was soon heard in the big tent.
The two guards outside the tent looked at each other at the same time, their faces full of envy, and they made eyes at each other, as if they were discussing the battle situation in the tent with their eyes.
However, in less than a quarter of an hour, the sounds in the tent stopped.
Holding Hailanduo's young and charming body, Yin Zhi felt extremely satisfied.
With Hailanduo by his side, Yin Zhi slept particularly soundly that night.
In his dream, Yin Zhi even dreamed that he caught Yun Zheng and made Yun Zheng kneel down in front of him and beg for mercy.
Because of this beautiful dream, Yin Zhi was in a particularly good mood when he woke up in the morning.
After breakfast, Yin Zhi prepared to take Hailanduo for a ride outside the camp on horseback.
However, when he saw the horses brought by his personal soldiers, Yin Zhi suddenly froze, as if thinking about something.
cavalry?
Why did Shen Kuan send his main cavalry to launch a surprise attack in the direction of Heji?
If he had the time, why didn't he send the main cavalry directly to Xuangui?
If Shen Kuan sent cavalry to Xuangui, they would not be able to intercept them in time, right?
Could it be that it is inconvenient for cavalry to escort food and fodder?
Or, Shen Kuan wanted to send reinforcements to Xuangui and also wanted to send the main cavalry to disrupt their rear?
Or...
trap?
As the word "trap" appeared in his mind, Yin Zhi's face became visibly flustered.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Hailanduo asked worriedly.
Before Yin Zhi could say anything, several cavalrymen with their bodies burned black came running over in a panic.
Seeing Yin Zhi, several cavalrymen hurriedly staggered off their horses. One of them was injured and rolled off the horse's back when he dismounted.
Several people knelt down in front of Yin Zhi with a plop, wailing, "Reporting to the general, the troops under the young general were ambushed by the enemy. The enemy used fire to trap our troops in the valley..."
Listening to the visitor's report, Yin Zhi's breathing suddenly became rapid and his eyes turned red.
trap!
It’s really a trap!
They fell into Shen Kuan's trap again!
Even my own son...
"puff……"
Yin Zhi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, covered his chest and fell backwards...
