Chapter 365 Waiting for work

A surprise attack brought some casualties to Yunzheng and the others.

Although Yunzheng didn't want any casualties, since it was a war, casualties were inevitable.

Although this large migratory tribe is mostly made up of old, weak, women and children, there are also some who are young and strong.

Moreover, many old people also took up arms in the face of their raids.

Although this was a one-sided battle, casualties were still unavoidable.

After a battle, they also lost two people, and together with the seriously wounded, they lost almost ten people.

However, they also made huge gains.

There are more than 8,000 horses, large and small, alone.

Coupled with the more than 2,000 horses they captured before, they can now basically ride one person and two people!

Damn it!

This is called a real cavalry!

"Brother, these cattle and sheep will not be killed again, right?"

Qin Qihu came to Yunzheng with blood all over his body and asked excitedly.

Damn it!

It would be so enjoyable if every battle was this big.

Small casualties, big seizures!

This is called winning the fucking battle!

"You don't want to take these cattle and sheep away, do you?"

Yun Zheng guessed Qin Qihu's intention at once.

"Sure!"

Qin Qihu chuckled, "We are only about a hundred miles away from the opposite side of the Split Wind Canyon. Even if we bring these cattle and sheep, we should be able to get there in two days! Just kill a Beihuan man and leave him to eat meat. It’s too cheap for them!”

The total number of cattle and sheep is at least 20,000 to 30,000!

If you take this damn thing back to Shuobei, how long can you eat it for?

By killing the cattle and sheep and leaving them to Beihuan, he felt that he was helping the people of Beihuan improve their food.

Must be taken away!

Mao didn't even leave one for the Beihuan people!

Yun Zheng frowned and said: "You also heard what those prisoners said. Since Jia Yao sent people to notify them to evacuate, they will definitely send people to King You Xian for help. Once we are entangled by King You Xian's troops, the casualties will be huge. It’s so big!”

Who wouldn’t want to take away something that can be taken away?

But if he had to choose between the lives of cattle, sheep and soldiers, he would definitely choose the latter.

"How about this!"

Miaoyin said: "Let's take these cattle and sheep away first, send more scouts out, and inquire more about the surrounding situation. If the enemy comes, we will kill these cattle and sheep on the spot..."

"Yep!"

Qin Qihu nodded repeatedly.

"At that point, how can I still have time to kill cattle and sheep?"

Yun Zheng shook his head slightly and began to think silently.

He must also want to take away all these cattle and sheep.

After returning home, it’s time for a showdown with Emperor Wen!

If nothing else, they will soon face supply problems.

With so many cattle and sheep, their army can last for a long time.

But when he thought that he might have to pay a lot of casualties to take away these cattle and sheep, he hesitated.

However, he soon realized another problem.

The problem of the wounded!

They had more seriously injured people, but they had just seized a lot of trucks transporting supplies. With these trucks helping to transport the seriously injured, they definitely couldn't leave the seriously injured here anymore.

But the speed of a cart cannot be compared with the speed of a war horse.

In other words, if they have to carry these seriously injured people, their speed will also slow down!

Thinking of this, Yun Zheng made a decisive decision: "Since everyone wants to take them away, let's take them away! Even if King Youxian sends troops to chase them, as long as we hold them back for a while, we have a chance to take these cattle and sheep away!"

You can’t get up soon anyway, so just eat this piece of fat!

It would be such a waste of resources to leave such a large piece of fat to the people of Beihuan!

If you encounter a large group of cavalry chasing and intercepting them, a head-on confrontation will definitely not work.

But there is still a chance to find a way to delay the enemy!

Having made up his mind, Yun Zheng immediately ordered Qin Qihu to lead his troops to escort the cattle and sheep towards the direction of Split Wind Canyon.

And he led two thousand fine cavalry to protect the right rear of the army.

If the troops of King Youxian of Beihuan wanted to pursue them, they would be more likely to pursue them from the rear right.

Once the scout discovers a large group of Beihuan cavalry, he will find a way to delay the enemy.

Qin Qihu originally wanted to compete with Yun Zheng for this task, but was directly rejected by Yun Zheng.

After assigning the tasks, the army quickly set off, and Yun Zheng also sent a large number of scouts behind him.

Before they had gone twenty miles away, the scouts came back to report that they had encountered enemy spies. It was initially estimated that the enemy was less than thirty miles away from them.

However, due to their encounter with enemy spies, they were unable to find out more information, and they did not know how many enemy troops there were in the right rear.

"It came so fast!"

Yun Zheng cursed secretly in his heart and immediately raised his eyes to look around.

Unfortunately, when I looked up, I saw that the surrounding area was surrounded by vast grasslands, with neither woods nor canyons suitable for ambush.

Those few small slopes are probably considered to be relatively high mountains on the Muma Grassland.

After thinking silently for a while, Yun Zheng immediately asked the scouts to investigate again, and at the same time led his army towards the mound a few miles away.

Arriving at the mound, Yun Zheng immediately ordered: "Everyone dismount! Let the horses graze on the spot and everyone rest!"

Miaoyin frowned and said, "The enemy troops are catching up, and you are still resting here?"

"No hurries!"

Yun Zheng smiled nonchalantly, "They are cavalry, and we are cavalry too! Isn't there still such a long distance? It's too late to run away when they see them! Get some rest first, and wait for work!"

"..."

Miaoyin looked at Yunzheng in astonishment and secretly thought that this bastard was really big-hearted.

However, she believed that Yun Zheng would not mess around. '

Since Yunzheng is doing this, there must be a reason for doing so.

While the war horses were gnawing grass, Yun Zheng and the others also took out dry food to eat.

Not to mention, eating some dry food, drinking a few sips and soaking in the melting snow water, looking at the vast grassland in front of you, actually gave you a different feeling.

Not long after, the scout returned again. This time, the scout brought back relatively accurate news.

The enemy army was so dark that there were at least ten thousand riders!

As soon as the servant finished speaking, a black mass of Beihuan cavalry appeared near the distant skyline.

It is estimated that it is less than ten miles away from them.

"Let's get going!"

Seeing that Yunzheng had no intention of ordering the entire army to retreat, Miaoyin immediately urged him anxiously.

"Not urgent!"

Yun Zheng shook his head, smiled, and ordered loudly: "Everyone sit down and rest, as if they don't exist!"

what?

After hearing Yun Zheng's order, everyone was dumbfounded.

"sit down!"

Yunzheng suddenly raised his voice and shouted loudly.

Under Yun Zheng's strict order, everyone sat down again with full doubts.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Miaoyin lowered her voice and asked Yunzheng with confusion, "Do you still want to fight the enemy?"

"I'm not stupid!"

Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, then pointed at the slowly approaching enemy army: "Didn't the enemy army not charge? The more casual we are, the more the enemy army will suspect that we have a trick, so they will not dare to advance rashly. I guess the enemy army will The march will soon be halted..."

The moment Yun Zheng's words fell, the enemy troops in the distance actually stopped advancing and faced them at a distance of seven or eight miles.

Miaoyin suddenly widened her eyes and looked into the distance in disbelief...
