Chapter 1508: Improvisation

Former army.

Shen Kuan has led his troops to the preset position and is taking the time to rest and wait to meet up with the rear army.

Just as Shen Kuan was chewing on his dry food, You Shisan came back at full speed to report: "General Shen, a cavalry unit of about one to two thousand enemy soldiers is fleeing towards Lou Chong!"

Cavalry?

After the enemy forces in the Qingyi direction failed in their sneak attack on Xuangui, they did not have many cavalry left.

The remaining cavalry should be Yin Zhi’s guard battalion, right?

Does Yin Zhi want to abandon the infantrymen in the rear and escape to Lou Chong first?

Or has Yoon Shik realized that his plan has been seen through, and wants to seize Lou Chong before they can?

After thinking silently for a while, Shen Kuan immediately asked: "How far is this cavalry from our unit?"

You Shisan immediately replied: "According to the enemy's marching speed, they should be less than 20 miles away from us now!"

Is it so close?

Shen Kuan thought for a moment and immediately gave the order: "Come here, report to Madam Jiayao that the situation has changed. Our troops will first raid the enemy's cavalry! Madam Jiayao, please make a quick decision on the follow-up!"

"General, this is not good, right?"

The cavalry captain beside him frowned and said, "If we move, the subsequent plans will probably be disrupted."

"That's a bad fart!"

Shen Kuan glared at the cavalry captain and said, "That bastard Yin Zhi is probably in this cavalry unit. We can't let them escape into Lou Chong! The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. How can everything go as we expect?"

Having said that, Shen Kuan directly ordered the messenger to go and deliver the message.

The messenger did not dare to delay and immediately took the order and left.

"Go tell Youjiu first, let's work together to eat up the enemy's cavalry!"

Shen Kuan gave You Shisan instructions and then gave a loud order: "All the troops, follow me to launch the raid!"

As Shen Kuan's order was issued, three thousand cavalrymen immediately launched a surprise attack on the enemy's cavalry unit.

Shen Kuan was determined not to let the bastard Yin Zhi run to Lou Chong.

Although the enemy's defeat is certain, if this bastard runs to Lou Chong, he will most likely defend the city later.

In this way, they would not be able to achieve their goal of ending the war as quickly as possible.

On the contrary, if Yin Zhi was caught, perhaps there would be no need to fight the subsequent battles.

In this case, it may be worthwhile to change the established strategy without authorization.

The distance is twenty miles, and they are running in both directions, so it can’t be too close.

Soon, the troops led by Teji heard noises coming from the front.

"Cavalry? Where did the cavalry come from?"

Teji frowned and listened carefully.

"From the noise, there shouldn't be many people coming."

The person next to him frowned and asked, "Could it be that the cavalry troops withdrawn from Juncheng are coming to support us?"

"This……"

Teji lowered his brows in thought.

Probably not?

Yin Zhi's order to the troops there was to leave a thousand men to defend Juncheng, and the rest to withdraw to Louchong. The thousand cavalrymen in Juncheng were to look for opportunities to launch a surprise attack on the enemy troops advancing towards Woyuan, try to create trouble for the enemy, and slow down the speed of the enemy troops advancing towards Louchong.

Why would they change the plan without my permission?

Unless Lou Chong has been captured by the enemy!

Moreover, although they were fleeing to Lou Chong, he also sent out spies.

These troops are so close, why don't the spies react at all?

Even if they encounter their own people, the spies should return to report!

Something is wrong!

As he was thinking about it, Teji suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

The enemy’s commander is Yun Zheng!

Maybe Yun Zheng has seen through their plan!

Take advantage of the situation!

It is very likely that all the spies they sent out were killed!

"Quick, break out! Prepare to break out!"

Teji reacted and immediately roared loudly.

It's the enemy!

Most likely the enemy!

At the same time, Shen Kuan, who was leading his troops in an assault, received another message sent back by the Eighteen Ghost Riders.

They captured an enemy spy and learned from him that Yoon Shik was seriously ill, fell off his horse and was trampled by a warhorse, and had died the night before.

Now, it is the commander of Yoon Shik's Guard Battalion who is commanding the army.

Upon hearing the news, Shen Kuan was almost so angry that he cursed.

He also wants to capture Yoon Shik alive!

As a result, this bastard died just like this!

However, now that they have been exposed, it is too late to change their plans!

Raid!

Only raid!

"kill!"

Shen Kuan held his lance high and roared murderously.

"kill!"

Behind Shen Kuan, three thousand riders roared with murderous intent.

……

When Shen Kuan led his troops to fight the enemy, Jia Yao also received the news sent back by Shen Kuan.

After learning about the situation over there, Jia Yao made a similar judgment as Shen Kuan.

Yin Zhi most likely wanted to abandon the infantry and lead his remaining cavalry troops to escape to Lou Chong first.

It was possible that Yin Zhi wanted to abandon all the infantry and escape to the Gaoqin territory with only the cavalry.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with Shen Kuan's temporary decision.

We must not let the culprit Yin Zhi escape back!

Jia Yao lowered his brows and thought for a while, then immediately ordered Li Gu: "Order the army to split into two groups immediately, bypass Lou Chong from the north and south, and meet up in the west of Lou Chong, and attack in the direction of Juncheng!"

Li Gu asked worriedly, "Are you going to ignore General Shen and the others?"

"What's there to do?"

Jia Yao glared at Li Gu and said, "The enemy's cavalry is only one or two thousand strong. They have three thousand men and the Eighteen Ghost Riders to cooperate with them. If they are still defeated, even if Shen Kuan is alive, I will kill him!"

Li Gu gave a dry laugh and immediately went forward to pass on the order.

Soon, Jia Yao's troops split into two groups and quickly launched a surprise attack.

Since Qingyi's troops have retreated, Juncheng's troops will definitely retreat as well.

If they charge over now, they can easily intercept the troops retreating from Juncheng to Louchong.

If her judgment is wrong, then the enemy will be besieged in Juncheng!

After Shen Kuan captured Yin Zhi, he took Yin Zhi directly to persuade the enemy troops in Juncheng to surrender.

If the enemy in Juncheng refuses to surrender, we will have to think of other solutions.

Jia Yao led 4,000 cavalrymen and launched a rapid raid from the south of Lou Chong. At the same time, he sent people to inquire about the situation in Lou Chong.

If there is an opportunity, they can also raid Lou Chong first, and then turn around to attack the troops retreating from Juncheng.

An hour later, the people sent by Jiayao to investigate Louchong returned and reported: "Madam Jiayao, the gates of Louchong are closed, and there are soldiers on the top of the city waiting in full battle array!"

Is that so?

Jia Yao frowned and immediately ordered: "Follow the original plan and meet up with the other troops to the west of Lou Chong!"

Since there is no chance, let's ignore Lou Chong for now.

Even if Lou Chong has someone defending him, there shouldn't be too many of them.

After defeating the enemy forces in other directions, we will turn around and deal with Lou Chong's troops.

Perhaps at that time, they didn't even need to take any action, the enemy would have opened the city and surrendered.

Having made up his mind, Jia Yao no longer hesitated and continued to lead his troops to launch a rapid assault...
