Chapter 293 Miscalculation

Beihuan does not necessarily have to have cavalry!

As Yun Zheng's words fell, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

"Your Highness, you mean that Beihuan attacked with infantry?"

Feng Yu frowned slightly, "But the infantry shouldn't be that fast, right?"

The infantry can only cover thirty or forty miles in one day, and this is under the premise of only marching.

The Beihuan army could move around Suining Guards so quickly. It couldn't be infantry, right?

"What your Highness means is that cavalry can also become infantry!"

Du Guiyuan shook his head and looked up at Yun Zheng again, "We seem to have ignored this! But, does Your Highness think Beihuan would really do this?"

Yun Zheng rubbed his head and said seriously: "If it were me, I would do this."

Du Guiyuan was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "The general will probably do this as a last resort! As long as the Beifu army can be defeated, what is this loss?"

As he spoke, Du Guiyuan smiled bitterly again.

"What are you talking about?"

Shen Luoyan looked at the two of them in confusion.

There is no language barrier between her and these two people!

Why can't she understand what these two people are talking about?

Yun Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Kill the war horses to replenish the army's rations!"

what?

Killing war horses to replenish army rations?

Everyone's faces changed drastically, and they looked at Yunzheng in disbelief.

What they mean is that Beihuan used his cavalry to quickly raid to the corresponding position, and then directly killed the horses to use as rations, turned the cavalry into infantry, and then launched a solid defense and besieged the Suining Guards?

Is Beihuan crazy?

By doing this, they can indeed solve the logistical supply problem.

They don't need food and grass at all.

War horses are their food and fodder!

However, changing cavalry into infantry, isn't this a matter of giving up one's strengths and taking advantage of the weaknesses?

Beihuan has always been famous for its cavalry, but now it voluntarily abandoned its cavalry and turned its cavalry into infantry?

Would Beihuan really do this?

"Beihuan is sick!"

Shen Luoyan came back to his senses and said speechlessly: "If they are really willing to kill so many war horses, and they directly send these war horses to me for worship, I am afraid that the Holy Emperor will agree to a truce, right? Why are they wasting their efforts?"

Yun Zheng rolled his eyes at her and said, "Give me the war horse to my court. When my court becomes stronger, will you fight them again?"

"This is different!"

Shen Luoyan shook his head and said: "I am recuperating in Chao, and Beihuan can also recuperate! Give them a few years to recover, and they don't have to be afraid of me doing something big, right?"

"You think too much!"

Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "If I were the great Chanyu of Beihuan, I would also be worried. If you give us the war horses today, we will immediately arm a strong cavalry and attack Beihuan in the spring! How can there be so much credibility between countries? Can you tell me? Taking advantage of his illness and killing him is the right way!"

Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Shen Luoyan was immediately speechless.

Yes!

Reputation is worthless in the face of national interests!

One of Beihuan and Daqian will eventually be beaten to submission!

Beihuan could be dishonest. Not only did he not return Daqian's lost land, he also raided Daqian's team to collect grain.

Naturally, Daqian could completely ignore his credibility and take advantage of Beihuan's lack of food to attack Beihuan in one fell swoop.

"Your Highness is right!"

Yu Shizhong nodded and said: "Besides, Beihuan has lost tens of thousands of troops now. I'm afraid it's impossible not to fight this battle!"

Du Guiyuan: "Yes! At this point, Beihuan must fight to the death! As long as the Beifu Army is defeated, we will not be able to launch a large-scale attack after next spring, and Beihuan can also gain precious time to recuperate! Even if they kill Losing war horses can completely recover in a few years..."

This is a lose-lose style of play!

But, it is also a wise decision.

The war horses are gone, and Beihuan, which has many natural pastures, can slowly breed again.

But if there are no more people, then there really is nothing.

I have to say that Bei Huan's move was indeed quite cruel.

Putting aside his personal stance, Beihuan does have a lot of backbone.

I would rather lose both sides than surrender to Da Qian.

"Now the layout of the Beihuan Third Army should be clearer."

Yunzheng stood up and came to the map in the tent, pointed at the map and said: "The three armies should be arranged in a straight line. The Beihuan army on the south side of the Suining Guard and the northwest side of the Jing'an Guard should be the steps to kill the horses. Soldier! The army in the middle should still be dominated by cavalry..."

"What Your Highness said is absolutely true!"

Yu Shizhong nodded: "The cavalry in the middle can quickly support the other two armies! After seizing the Beiyuan ford, they should have no problem ensuring the supply of the cavalry along the way."

With this arrangement, no matter where the Beifu army attacks from, they will be attacked by Beihuan's fine cavalry.

Don't look at the Beifu Army, which also has more than war horses. Although it is said to have more than cavalry, in wartime, it can only arm or cavalry.

One person and two horses are actually the basic configuration of cavalry.

Otherwise, after several battles, the horses will be exhausted to death!

Beihuan only needs to place to cavalry in the middle, and the Beifu army will have to be afraid.

Fifty or sixty thousand versus thirty or forty thousand, there is actually not much numerical advantage.

Throughout the ages, there have been countless examples of battles in which a small number of people defeated a large number, even if it was a head-on fight.

There is no doubt that the Beihuan cavalry in the middle must be the most elite cavalry in Beihuan.

In a head-to-head fight, the cavalry of the Beifu Army may not be an opponent!

Yunzheng nodded slightly and said with a wry smile: "This time, Wei Wenzhong and I both miscalculated!"

They guessed that Beihuan would force the Beifu army out of the city to fight, but they thought they would raid Mayi regardless of the consequences.

However, I didn't expect Bei Huan to be so cruel.

Surrounding the Suining Guards in this self-inflicted manner forced the Beifu Army to rescue the Suining Guards' army, and then slowly eroded the effectiveness of the Beifu Army.

This damn guy was also harmed by inherent thinking.

Everyone thought that Beihuan would attack with cavalry, but they forgot that war horses can be turned into rations at any time.

He's so fucking cruel!

The person who can come up with this trick is definitely a ruthless character.

Moreover, he must be a guy who doesn't play by common sense.

"Do you think Wei Wenzhong will rescue the Suining Guard army?"

Shen Luoyan asked worriedly.

Qin Qihu is in Suining Guard.

I'm afraid Yun Zheng is also worried about Qin Qihu's safety, right?

"It should be saved, but certainly not now."

Yunzheng said: "The Suining Guards should have stocked up a lot of food and grass. If they can support it for more than half a month, there will definitely be no problem! Even if Wei Wenzhong launches a rescue, he will definitely want to spend some time with Beihuan first! After all, Beihuan Huan's army is camped in the wild, and even if there is no shortage of food and drink, the cold weather in Shuobei can still give them a pot."

"That's true!"

Shen Luoyan nodded in agreement, "Then how should we deal with it next?"

Shen Luoyan's problem is also everyone's problem.

Beihuan's army was already between them and the Suining Guards.

The army along the way may invade Shuofang at any time.

They must make countermeasures and cannot just watch the excitement.

Yun Zheng raised the corner of his mouth and said with a evil smile: "Although Bei Huan's move is cruel and clever, if they are forced to retreat by us, their losses will be heavy..."

Killing so many war horses for food rations by yourself feels like risking death to survive.

But if they were repulsed, those war horses would not be able to come back to life.

At that point, this will be real self-mutilation!
