Chapter 440 Crossing the River Raid
Early the next morning, Yunzheng and the others set out with 20,000 cavalry.
The following 20,000 cavalry were led by Gu Ce.
When they arrived at the crossing point, the 10,000 cavalrymen led by Yun Zheng immediately dismounted.
Afterwards, everyone immediately became busy.
Soon, everyone found some trees around them that had not been burned by the previous fire.
Yunzheng's method of crossing the river is very simple.
The men and horses separated to cross the river.
The people cut down trees to build bridges from the narrow but fast flowing water, and their horses were handed over to the 10,000 fine cavalry led by Yu Shizhong.
After their people passed by and marched to the place where the horses crossed the river, Yu Shizhong led his army to drive their horses into the river.
As long as the enemy doesn't send spies to investigate here, they can successfully cross the river and complete the assembly.
The people of the Eighteen Ghost Riders took the lead in entering the other side last night and clearing all nearby obstacles. They had to ensure that no enemy spies or people from nearby tribes would discover their actions.
Otherwise, they lose the point of the raid.
"The remaining ten thousand people will be led by you and Qu Zhi."
While waiting for the vanguard to cross the river, Yun Zheng began to explain to Yu Shizhong again.
"Your Highness, let the general follow you!"
Yu Shizhong said: "After this battle is over, it won't be too late for His Highness to release the last general."
"You have been with me for so long, it's time to let me go!" Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "Among these people, you are the one who is most familiar with my fighting methods! With you and General Dugu and the others together, I can rest assured..."
Although Dugu Ce is the leader of another army, Yu Shizhong can also make some suggestions.
This battle is very important!
With this victory, Muma Grassland is theirs!
After this battle, unless Beihuan goes crazy, they should not have another big battle in a short time.
This battle must be won!
Of course, it would be best if their own casualties were minimal.
In this way, they can continue to harass Beihuan in the future.
After listening to Yun Zheng's words, Yu Shizhong nodded heavily: "I will listen to His Highness in the end!"
Yunzheng showed his trust in him by letting him go to Dugu Ce to lead the army and help Dugu Ce make plans.
After explaining some things to Yu Shizhong, Yunzheng also started to cross the river.
Yu Shizhong glanced at Yunzheng silently, and immediately led his troops and horses to the place downstream where the water flow was gentle.
The places where their men and horses separated to cross the river were about ten miles apart.
As soon as they crossed the river, everyone began to march quickly.
Although it is only ten miles away, it is still a big challenge for everyone.
After all, the armor and weapons they carried weighed dozens of kilograms together.
Each person also has to help his horse carry more than ten kilograms of beans.
After marching ten miles in a hurry, if the enemy soldiers heard the news and came to kill them, many people would probably not be able to resist.
When half of their men marched to the position where the horses crossed the river, Yu Shizhong immediately ordered his cavalry to drive the horses into the river.
After the horses swam over, the soldiers who took a short rest immediately began to gather the horses.
Near noon, the Eighteen Ghost Riders came back to report that more than thirty miles directly in front of them, there was a group of enemy scouts exploring the direction of the Baishui River, probably looking for traces of Boluan's troops.
Listening to the scout's report, Yunzheng not only frowned secretly.
Is it so accurate?
Is this team of scouts going directly in this direction?
Did they know that Boluan was going to lead his troops to move closer to them along the Baishui River?
Is there a traitor in Boluan's army, or is this just a scout sent by Hu Jie?
Damn it!
Boluan, you should be so damn angry!
Don't worry, if the birdman is wiped out as soon as our army has finished gathering, that will be very painful!
"Are there any enemy spies coming in our direction?"
Yunzheng asked.
You Shisan replied: "There were dozens of people grazing last night, but we took care of them. Our people are now disguised as herders and are always paying attention to the surrounding situation. We have not found any enemy scouts approaching yet. !”
"That's good!"
Yun Zheng smiled and ordered: "Keep watching, no one is allowed to come near here!"
"Yes!"
After that, Yunzheng sent his own scouts to look for traces of Boluan's troops, and asked Boluan and his troops to divide into two groups and march in the direction of Yanhui Mountain.
In addition, Boluan was also asked to keep an eye on the people under his command to prevent anyone from reporting news to Hu Jie.
Hu Jie just sent out scouts, and it would definitely take time for the large army to catch up.
If Boluan sent out scouts to know the movements of Hu Jie's troops, he would probably make some preparations.
At about the time of Shen Shi, Yunzheng and the others finally completed their assembly.
Yunzheng did not stop and immediately led his army to march towards Yanhui Mountain.
When it was getting dark, Yunzheng received news from the scouts at the rear.
The scouts in the rear had already contacted Boluan's troops and informed Boluan of Yun Zheng's thoughts. Boluan had already begun to lead his troops towards Yanhui Mountain.
However, the scouts also brought back bad news.
There were deserters from Boluan's army.
In one night, more than a thousand deserters appeared in Boluan's army.
As expected, the movements of Boluan's troops should have been reported by those deserters.
Knowing this result, Yun Zheng couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart.
Sure enough, the morale of Boluan's troops was not very good.
However, this is also normal.
After all, many people were forcibly recruited.
Moreover, Boluan is currently weak, and many people are definitely not optimistic about Boluan.
If you haven't deserted under such circumstances, that would be really abnormal.
never mind!
As much as you can count on!
As long as they defeat Hu Jie and Jia Yao this time, as long as Bo Luan is still alive, Bo Luan Gou should be able to slowly recruit some of his old troops.
Boluan is also the Righteous King after all!
Now these people don't think highly of him, that's because Hu Jie is too strong.
As long as Hu Jie is defeated, Boluan should still be able to hang out in Beihuan.
After making up his mind, Yun Zheng ordered people to start looking for a place to spend the night.
They had been here during their last breakout and knew that there was an ancient river nearby.
If you don't have a tent, spending the night there might be a good choice.
Not long after, the people sent out found the ancient river channel.
They immediately headed towards the ancient river channel.
At this time, the aquatic plants nearby should also be very rich, which can replenish the physical strength of the war horse.
At night, in order not to expose his whereabouts, Yunzheng strictly prohibited anyone from lighting a fire.
All eat solid food.
This night was relatively peaceful.
The next day, as soon as it got dark, everyone set out.
Less than two hours later, the scout sent to the left wing hurriedly came back and reported: "Thirty miles away from the left wing, a large group of Beihuan cavalry was found. It is estimated at first that the number should be more than 10,000. The direction of the enemy's advance , exactly in the direction of Boluan’s headquarters!”
So fast?
How much Hu Jie wants to kill Boluan!
Yunzheng thought silently for a moment and then asked immediately: "Did you see the enemy's flag clearly?"
The scout shook his head and said, "It's too far away to see clearly."
Is that so?
Yun Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately ordered: "Shen Luoyan, you lead two thousand troops to support us on the right wing! The rest of the people, immediately change direction and move closer to Boluan's headquarters!"
