Chapter 354 Attacking the Guards
Soon, the camp of Beihuan's right-wing army was plunged into a sea of fire.
Fortunately, Jiayao ordered his men to create a gap between the right wing and the central army in time, so that the fire on the right wing was not allowed to spread to the central army and the left wing.
Although they minimized their losses, they also lost nearly 30,000 troops' tents and supplies.
This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for Beihuan, who is already short of food.
Moreover, their men were busy cutting off the connection between the right-wing camp and the central army, and missed the opportunity to intercept and kill Daqian's cavalry.
Jiayao looked at the right-wing army camp that was in a sea of fire with red eyes, and fell slumped on the snow.
lost!
Even under such circumstances, she still lost to Yun Zheng.
Moreover, the hole in front of her was clearly dug by her for Yun Zheng.
But it was she who finally swallowed the bitter pill.
Ten days of food and fodder for an army of 30,000 people is not too much, but it is extremely precious to Beihuan at the moment.
Arutai!
It’s all this bastard Arutai!
If they hadn't been defeated so quickly, how could he have hurriedly ordered the left and right armies to support Arutai's troops at the same time?
If the right wing was not empty, how could the enemy have the opportunity to burn their tents and food?
At this moment, Jia Yao wished he could tear Arutai into pieces.
In grief and anger, Jia Yao glanced at the camp of the left-wing army.
The left wing is obviously empty too.
Why didn't Yunzheng send people to burn the camps and provisions of the left-wing army?
As he was thinking about it, Jiayao suddenly got excited.
Wei Bian!
The Daqian cavalry who burned the army camp on their left wing went straight to the guard!
There is no way this cavalry team is going to occupy the guard!
So, where else can they go besides Wei Bian?
Soon, Ga Yao reacted.
Opposite the Riftwind Canyon!
These Daqian cavalry are going to attack the Beihuan defenders opposite the Split Wind Canyon!
There are only 5,000 people defending there!
Moreover, they are all infantry composed of temporarily recruited warriors!
Facing such a large group of elite cavalry in Da Gan, it is impossible for them to withstand it when there is no danger to defend!
So cruel!
So crafty!
Even if they break out of the siege, even if they burn down their tents and food, Yun Zheng is still not satisfied!
He also wants to kill to the opposite side of Split Wind Canyon!
Understanding Yunzheng's intention, Jia Yao scrambled up from the snow and shouted with murderous intent: "Order the right-wing army to retreat immediately and send 20,000 elite cavalry to support the defenders on the opposite side of the Split Wind Canyon at all costs." …”
……
"Haha, it's so fun! It's so damn fun!"
After successfully burning so much of the enemy's food, grass and tents, Qin Qihu was in a good mood and laughed loudly all the way.
Yunzheng's plan succeeded!
Not only did they successfully break through, they also caused heavy losses to the enemy.
Now, Ga Yao is probably going to cry!
"Where are you going!"
Yunzheng laughed loudly, "There are still big chunks of fat waiting for us behind!"
"That's right! And there are big chunks of fat!"
Qin Qihu looked up to the sky and laughed.
Looking at Qin Qihu, whose face was almost bursting with laughter, Miaoyin not only shook her head and smiled.
Qin Qihu's heartless character is so good!
However, when they complete their subsequent plans and return to Shuobei, it may be a different situation!
I hope Qin Qihu and Yun Zheng don't turn against each other!
Just as Miaoyin was secretly sighing, the scout came back and reported: "Your Majesty, ten miles ahead, we found a group of Beihuan soldiers escorting the baggage, about a thousand people in number..."
Escorting the Beihuan soldiers carrying their baggage?
Yun Zheng reacted after thinking for a moment.
They should be Beihuan soldiers who escorted the catapults from the border to the front line.
"Fuck him?"
Qin Qihu's eyes shone like a hungry wolf.
"Sure!"
Yun Zheng laughed loudly and immediately shouted to the ordering soldiers behind him: "Go down the order: the whole army will attack! No one will be left behind!"
Wouldn't it be foolish not to pinch the soft persimmon when you catch it?
As Yunzheng's order was conveyed, the army quickly took action.
The distance of ten miles is not too far for the cavalry.
When their army appeared in front of the Beihuan soldiers, the Beihuan soldiers all panicked.
Facing ten thousand fine cavalry, these thousand Beihuan soldiers escorting the baggage had no power to resist.
A small-scale encounter ended in less than half a quarter of an hour.
However, although the soldiers of Beihuan were few in number, they were killed without leading their necks.
After the battle, more than ten of them were injured.
Fortunately, with the armor protecting the body, none of the injuries were fatal.
After simply treating the wounds of the wounded, Yunzheng and the others rested on the spot, burned the catapult parts transported by the enemy to keep warm, killed all the enemy's mules and horses along the way, and grilled the meat on the spot.
Although they brought some dry food, it was just for emergencies.
Now that we can get food on the spot, wouldn’t it be a waste if we don’t eat it?
Qin Qihu sent a small group of cavalry to check the rear to see if any enemy pursuers were catching up. Then he asked the remaining men to dismount and feed the horses some beans.
The small amount of food and grass they had just captured was also fed to the war horses.
The ten thousand of them are all on their own, so they have to keep their horses strong, and there are currently no horses for them to replace.
Yunzheng called a young general who was a little familiar with Beihuan territory and asked, "How far are we from Weibian?"
The young general replied: "It should be about thirty or forty miles away."
Forty or fifty miles?
We should be able to reach the guard before dark.
Yunzheng thought for a moment and then asked the young general: "Is there any suitable place to set up an ambush around here? For example, a valley or something like that."
"This……"
The young general thought about it carefully, shook his head and said: "Most of the places here are open areas, there is no such place as the prince said."
no?
Yun Zheng was slightly disappointed.
Damn it!
Pity!
"If we don't rush towards the opposite side of Split Wind Canyon, do you still want to ambush the pursuers behind you?"
Miaoyin looked at Yunzheng in astonishment.
"Ambush if you have the chance, forget it if you don't have the chance!"
Yun Zheng shook his head slightly, and after a while of silence, he ordered: "Tear off all the clothes on these corpses, and use the snow on the ground to simply clean up the blood stains!"
"Ok?"
Miaoyin looked at Yunzheng in surprise, "You're not going to attack the guard, are you?"
"Sure!"
Yunzheng nodded, "There are ten thousand of us, and we don't even have tents. If we don't capture the border, we won't even have a place to spend the night! If we are forced to carry it out in the wild today, we will freeze to death!"
If it were in other seasons, there would be no need to capture the guard.
But not in this season!
The reason why he only started to break it into pieces in the latter half of the night last night was also due to this consideration.
If we had done that from the beginning and forced those men and horses to carry them in the ice and snow all night, they would probably have no fighting ability at all!
"We can find a woods and light a fire to survive the night."
Miaoyin said: "There must be pursuers behind us. Once we enter the guard line, we are likely to be besieged again! Moreover, we only have such a small number of people, so I am afraid that attacking the city will..."
"You think too much!"
Yun Zheng shook his head and said with a smile: "We are attacking lightly, so the pursuers must also be attacking lightly!"
"We don't have a tent, they must not have a tent either!"
"They really dare to brave this day and surround us on the border. They are just seeking death!"
