Chapter 309 Defeated by myself

Soon, the casualties of this battle were tallied.

More than of their horses were damaged, more than people were killed, and more than people were seriously injured.

As for Daqian, only about ten people were lost.

Nearly half of them were shot by Kayao.

After receiving the report from his subordinates, Jia Yao gritted his silver teeth until they made a loud sound.

The casualties of more than a thousand people were not considered too large, and were completely within the scope of her acceptance.

But compared with Daqian's casualties, their casualties were heavy.

The most important thing is that her carefully planned plan to raid Shuofang completely failed!

They had killed more than people in battle before, and also killed so many war horses!

Compared with their gains, their losses were extremely heavy!

Suddenly, Jia Yao felt as if he had shot himself in the foot.

"Princess, there are still troops behind us! We can also attack Shuofang!"

Huluo, the younger brother of King Zuoxian, came to Jia Yao and said with a livid face.

"What are we attacking with?"

Jia Yao angrily yelled with frost on his face: "Our plan has been seen through! The enemy is just waiting for us to attack! If we attack now, even if we capture Shuofang City, how many of our people will be left? Wait! Reinforcements from the Beifu Army are coming, can we defend Shuofang?"

Attack is easy to say!

They do still have room to attack.

Moreover, if no expense is spared, it is even possible to capture Shuofang City!

But the price of siege is that they have to pay for it with human lives!

After capturing Shuofang, they were not far from being annihilated!

Her plan was seen through by Yun Zheng, and she foolishly attacked Shuo Fang, which was tantamount to committing suicide!

Huluo understood that what Jia Yao said made sense, but he still roared with unwillingness: "But...but we have paid such a high price, can we just forget it?"

War horse!

For this plan, they even did not hesitate to kill war horses to replenish their army rations!

This is equivalent to stabbing themselves before risking their lives with others.

Now, they suddenly stop risking their lives?

Wasn't this stabbing in vain?

"What else can I do?"

Jia Yao looked at Hu Luo coldly, "Are you going to let us take human lives to fill it? So far in this war, we have lost nearly people! If we send all the troops in our hands to When we go out and the enemy invades our territory, what will we do?”

Huluo was unwilling.

She was equally unwilling!

But this is not a matter of willingness or unwillingness!

This is the reality they must face!

She wanted to capture Yunzheng more than Huluo, and she wanted to capture Shuofang more than Huluo.

But she can't do it.

She couldn't let these warriors from Beihuan die!

If the war horses are gone, they can be bred in five or six years.

There are no people left, and there is nothing left!

She can tell which is more important.

Huluo was speechless by Jia Yao, but he really couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, so he could only leave angrily.

Jia Yao took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart, forcing himself to stay calm to avoid making wrong decisions.

After a while, the people who went to explore the woods came back.

As expected, there are indeed traps in the woods.

If they rush into the woods and the other party directly sets the entire forest on fire, they will lose a lot of men and horses.

Damn Yunzheng! Really cunning!

Jia Yao gritted his silver teeth tightly, wishing he could tear Yunzheng into pieces.

After trying hard to calm down, Jia Yao ordered again: "Send someone to bring out the firewood from the woods. Others have prepared firewood for us to keep warm. We can't help but appreciate it!"

As night fell, Bambu rushed over first.

Banbu found Jia Yao immediately and asked about the casualties.

Knowing that the casualties were not too serious, Bambu finally let go of his hanging heart.

Banbu also supported Jia Yao's idea of ​​giving up attacking Shuofang.

In this case, giving up the attack is the wisest choice.

After scolding the cunning bastard Yunzheng for a while, Banbu said again: "Princess, should we send someone to seize the Split Wind Canyon to avoid..."

"Need not!"

Jia Yao shook his head gently, "We are coming from behind. There is no danger in the Split Wind Canyon! Yun Zheng will not know it. Even if he sends troops to guard the Split Wind Canyon, he can't stop us! Yun Zheng will not follow. If we go head-to-head, he will never send troops to garrison Split Wind Canyon!"

They wanted to seize the Split Wind Canyon before to open up a passage for the army behind them.

But now, their army has broken into Daqian's territory. They attacked from behind. The defenders of Split Wind Canyon have no terrain advantage at all.

If Yun Zheng was really stupid enough to send troops to guard the Split Wind Canyon, she would be happy.

Moreover, they also have to be wary of the elite cadres led by Wei Wenzhong in the rear.

There is no need for them to disperse their forces at this time.

If the army gathers together and moves forward, if Wei Wenzhong dares to press forward, they can give it a go and fight!

Banbu thought for a moment, nodded slightly and said: "Yes, judging from the several times we fought with Yun Zheng, this person is good at conspiracy and does not like to engage in head-on battles. He should indeed not send troops to garrison the Split Wind Canyon. , As for Wei Wenzhong, he is too cautious and will not take the initiative to attack without being sure of victory..."

Jia Yao nodded lightly and sighed leisurely: "Teacher, we really need to give up Three Sides City now!"

Even if the raid on Shuofang was successful, she still wanted to abandon Three Sides City.

Now, she is even more determined about this idea.

Hearing Jia Yao mention this matter again, Banbu was still a little unwilling, and immediately suggested: "If we seize the Split Wind Canyon, we can also transport supplies from the Split Wind Canyon. We can besiege Shuofang and force..."

"This trick is no longer useful!"

Jia Yao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If we besiege Shuofang, we will have to recruit tens of thousands or more warriors to guard the Three Sides City. Otherwise, Daqian may break through the defenses of the Three Sides City and take our rear or even the royal court! But the question is, do we still have so much food?”

The manpower problem is easy to solve.

It's nothing more than recruiting warriors.

If you want to defend the city, you don't need too elite soldiers. As long as you recruit tens of thousands more warriors, they will definitely be able to defend the three-sided city.

But where does the food for recruiting warriors come from?

We can't help but let Zheng Zhao come and make everyone hungry, right?

Moreover, they recruited warriors, which meant that many tribes would be short of men.

Feeding those livestock in winter already requires a lot of labor.

Without this labor force, more livestock would starve to death.

In the coming year, Beihuan's situation will be even worse.

This is a vicious cycle!

"This……"

Bambu suffocated slightly, and then sighed heavily.

The fatal problem of food shortage in Beihuan finally emerged.

Moreover, Yunzheng is full of tricks, and they may not be able to succeed even if they besiege Shuofang.

After pondering silently for a long time, Bambu had no choice but to accept the fact, and said with a face full of reluctance: "Then let's wait until all the armies behind are reunited, and then we can retreat together!"

"Ok!"

Jia Yao sighed in despair: "My mentor is right, this Yun Zheng is indeed a cunning and difficult opponent! This time, we were defeated by him again..."

"No!"

Bambu shook his head, "We lost to ourselves..."

If there is enough food support, they still have hope of making a comeback!

There is even hope of catching Yunzheng alive!

It's ridiculous to think about it.

Previously, they suffered heavy losses and tried their best to break into Shuofang's side.

Now, their -strong army has arrived at Shuofang as they wished, but they can't do anything and can only retreat in despair.

This is undoubtedly a huge irony...
