Chapter 449 Kneeling

At the same time, Yunzheng's troops, who had rested for the night, also began to retreat.

After a night's rest, their personnel's physical strength had recovered a lot, and Yun Zheng gradually got rid of his negative emotions and regained his composure.

On the battlefield, you can be sad, but you can't always be sad!

He is the commander of the first army. No matter how sad he is, he must cheer up.

However, as the night passed, dozens of seriously injured people could not be carried.

In this case, the possibility of all these seriously injured people surviving is zero.

However, the physical strength of their war horses could not keep up.

Although the water and grass here are abundant, these war horses have not been able to recover much physical strength by just eating grass without the supplement of beans after running long distances and fighting continuously.

Moreover, they also captured many war horses.

There are so many war horses, and there is not so much grass for these war horses to eat near the place where they rest.

Many of the war horses were probably only 30% full, and only the thousands of war horses that Yunzheng had people take care of should be 80% full.

They must maintain a certain amount of combat power. If the enemy pursues them and they have to fight, they will still have to rely on these war horses to charge into battle.

Now they had no choice but to retreat to the place where they had crossed the river before. If that didn't work, they abandoned their horses and asked people to cross through a simple wooden bridge from the narrow place upstream.

At this time, no matter how valuable the war horses are, they are not as valuable as these warriors who have fought hundreds of battles.

Everyone retreated all the way, and Yun Zheng also used the Eighteen Ghost Riders as scouts to investigate their rear and lower left to see if any enemy troops were pursuing them.

Two hours later, the two people who went to the rear to investigate quickly came back.

"Your Highness, there is a large group of enemy troops in the rear, and they are attacking in the direction of our retreat. There are at least seven or eight thousand people! They are probably less than fifteen miles away from us now..."

Yunzheng's eyelids suddenly jumped.

The enemy troops at Yanhui Mountain Camp are really going crazy!

Such a long distance and catching up so quickly?

This damn guy has been on a long-distance raid since he got the news of Hu Jie's death, and he hasn't stopped until now, right?

Otherwise, the enemy army would not have been able to catch up so quickly!

Crazy!

How much I want to eat these thousands of them!

If a man can bear such a long journey, the horse may not be able to bear it either, right?

Okay, since the enemy is going crazy, I will stay with you until the end!

A cold light flashed in Yun Zheng's eyes, he glanced around, and immediately shouted an order: "Place the wounded on the spot, and those who can mount their horses and hold swords are all ready to fight!"

They were just maimed.

He wasn't beaten to death!

They were also able to gather together 5,000 men to fight.

Although many of them were injured, they still had a rest for the night.

The enemy army only had such a small number of people, and they still marched for a long distance in a desperate manner. Why didn't they dare to fight?

After listening to Yunzheng's order, Shen Luoyan and Miaoyin opened their mouths slightly.

The two wanted to persuade Yun Zheng, but after hesitating for a long time, they still did not speak.

They all knew in their hearts that this was not Yunzheng's desire to fight.

This has to be fought!

If they don't fight now, if the enemy catches up, they will still fight!

If you fight hard, you still have a great chance of defeating the enemy.

If they flee all the way and let the enemy pursue them, their casualties will be even greater.

"Yu Zhu, immediately lead five hundred people to collect hay nearby. The more the better!"

"Tong Gang, lead the people to select a thousand war horses, and tie the hay collected by Yu Zhu and the others to the horses!"

"Let's just wait here and wait for work!"

"Once the two armies engage in battle, everyone immediately disperses to the two wings. Tong Gang leads people to light the hay on the horses and drive the horses to break up the enemy's formation!"

"Qin Qihu, lead five hundred people, go around to the back of the hillside over there, and seize the opportunity to pretend to be reinforcements and come out..."

Yunzheng quickly issued the order.

If the enemy army came to 20,000 to 30,000 people, he would definitely think about how to retreat first.

But with only such a small number of enemy troops coming, you really don’t think they have the strength to fight, right?

As Yun Zheng's order was issued, everyone quickly got busy, and Yun Zheng led the people to disperse, blocking behind the horses that were about to be tied with hay.

Not long after, the rumble of horse hooves could be heard in their ears.

From a distance, Jia Yao saw the large number of cavalry waiting in full formation.

Looking at the enemy troops and then at the people behind him, Jia Yao couldn't help but feel sad.

Of course she knew that they didn't have much fighting power after running all the way.

She didn't want to fight either.

But she must fight!

She couldn't just watch Yunzheng and the others retreat safely with their father's head.

In the eyes of people in Daqian, the father may be a devil.

But in her eyes, her father is her father, and he is the best person to her in the world!

When the two armies were less than ten miles apart, Gayao rode out of the formation.

"Yunzheng!"

Ga Yao shouted loudly: "I want to negotiate with you!"

negotiation?

Listening to Jia Yao's words, Yun Zheng couldn't help but be stunned.

What are you negotiating for?

Why did you bring so many people to negotiate?

Yun Zheng was silent for a moment and then rode out.

Several people around Yun Zheng were about to follow, but were stopped by Yun Zheng.

No matter how amazing Ga Yao's archery skills were, could she still shoot him from such a long distance?

Soon, Yun Zheng came to a position about three hundred meters away from Ga Yao and stood there.

"You came quite quickly!"

Yunzheng looked at Jiayao indifferently, "How did you know we would run this way?"

Jia Yao was filled with grief and anger, gritted his teeth and roared: "Do you think those fake traces you sent people to create can deceive me?"

"Yeah, you're smart, right?"

Yun Zheng shrugged and said loudly: "Tell me, how do you want to negotiate?"

"Give me back my father's and Haizhe's heads!"

Jia Yao clenched his fist tightly and said loudly: "As long as you agree, I will immediately lead the army to retreat and let you go!"

After running all the way, Gayao's sanity also recovered a lot.

She went from wanting to avenge her father and brother at first to just wanting to get their father and brother's heads back.

"You fight with others, but you still want to give them back their heads?"

Yunzheng looked at Jia Yao indifferently, "Why didn't you return the bodies of my father-in-law and uncle six years ago?"

On the battlefield, life and death fight.

My father-in-law and the others were defeated and killed, no one can blame them.

But how to dispose of their bodies depends on the individual.

People with a little bit of character, even if they don't bury those warriors generously, at least they won't let people ride war horses and trample those corpses into pulp.

If Hu Jie had ordered someone to return the bodies of the 10,000 fine knights led by his father-in-law, he would have left a whole body for Hu Jie.

But since Hu Jie has done everything right, no one can blame him.

He must take away the heads of Hu Jie and Haizhe!

Jesus can’t even keep him!

Heads are not important!

He did not need to use human heads to prove to Emperor Wen that they had killed Hu Jie.

But as long as they take away Hu Jie's head, it will be a huge blow to Beihuan!

"Is this your revenge?"

Ga Yao asked in a deep voice.

"You can understand that!"

Yunzheng nodded slightly.

Jiayao thought silently for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "I can exchange two thousand horses for their heads!"

Yun Zheng shook his head and said resolutely: "Not to mention two thousand horses, not even twenty thousand! If you want to fight, then let's give it a go! I still have five thousand wounded soldiers here, you can try it, it depends on you Can these few people eat the five thousand wounded soldiers of this king!"

Wounded soldiers?

Jia Yao looked sadly at the Daqian cavalry who were waiting in full formation.

The Daqian cavalry is now as powerful as a rainbow, but the ten thousand people she brought basically have little morale to speak of.

The armors of these ten thousand people were all improvised, and there were a small number of people who didn't even have armor!

Even if these people are really all wounded soldiers, they may not be opponents in a real fight.

After a moment of hesitation, Ga Yao slowly dismounted.

"I know that my father did a great job back then, and I don't want to explain it!"

"I can understand that you have resentment in your heart!"

"I am willing to apologize to you on behalf of my father!"

As Jia Yao said, he knelt down with a bang...
