Chapter 492 Planned Bankruptcy

"Okay, great!"

After confirming that the ghost side had sent troops, Jia Yao couldn't help shouting excitedly.

good news!

After such a long time, I finally got some good news.

The ghost side plus He Asu's troops amounted to nearly 70,000 troops!

Although there are 30,000 infantry among the 50,000 people on the ghost side, they are still 50,000 horses after all!

The enemy army numbered only about 20,000.

They have three times the strength of the enemy. As long as they don't fall into the enemy's tricks, there is basically no possibility of defeat.

Throughout the ages, there have been many examples of battles in which a small number defeated a large number.

But how can it be so easy to win more with less?

There shouldn't be too much to worry about in the Moxi Corridor.

Right now we are looking at the Modong Corridor.

They don't need to defeat the enemy troops marching towards the Modong Corridor now, they just need to hold them back!

Once the enemy forces in the Moxi Corridor are defeated, the enemy forces in the Modong Corridor will most likely choose to retreat.

If the enemy does not retreat, they can quickly mobilize troops from the Moxi Corridor to return reinforcements.

"call……"

Jia Yao breathed a long sigh of relief, with a long-lost smile on his face, and immediately ordered Mo Rigen: "Send orders to Guge, always pay attention to the movements of the enemy troops approaching the Modong Corridor! When the enemy troops enter the surprise range, immediately send people to harass them. Slow down the enemy's advance and buy time for Futo-sama!"

Morigen took the order and immediately sent someone to deliver the order.

Jiayao sat down slowly, grabbed a glass of water and poured it into his mouth, with a relieved smile on his face.

Soon, the smile on Gaoyao's face disappeared again.

Even if Daqian is forced back this time, Beihuan's food shortage problem still cannot be solved.

Moreover, including the troops of the Mongolian and Zhenhe tribes, they also sent 60,000 troops this time.

The consumption of an army of 60,000 is quite a lot.

After the war, they will be even more short of food.

Unless they can capture a large number of horses and grain from the enemy.

Beihuan didn't have to think about the capture of the Moxi Corridor, it would definitely belong to the ghost side.

They only had the idea of ​​attacking the enemy's food and fodder along the Modong Corridor.

However, with the few people they have now, the idea of ​​taking advantage of the enemy's food and fodder is a bit of a dream.

"Ugh……"

Ga Yao let out a long sigh, feeling worried again.

……

After several days of marching, Yunzheng and the others finally arrived where they could see the majestic mountains in the distance.

That should be the Cangyunling Mountains, one of the four major mountain ranges in Beihuan.

During this period, Beihuan's spies never stopped investigating their movements.

Beihuan's harassment also continued.

However, it has always been the same as before, and there are no new tricks.

They sent people to ambush several times. Although they killed some enemy soldiers, they gained little.

Just as they continued to march, Yunzheng got the news that the Eighteen Ghost Cavalry came back.

"Great!"

Yun Zheng was overjoyed and immediately asked: "Are there any casualties among them?"

"no!"

"Bring them here immediately!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the members of the Eighteen Ghost Riders were brought over.

Before they could salute, Yun Zhengbian couldn't wait to ask them about the situation.

When Yun Zheng asked, eighteen people lowered their heads.

Although they wore masks on their faces, Yun Zheng could also guess that their faces must be filled with shame at this moment.

"No success?"

Yun Zheng frowned and asked.

"Ah."

Youjiu nodded lightly and said shamefully: "When we rushed there, Meng Quan and Zhen He had already begun to gather troops to prepare to send troops to help Beihuan..."

They didn't fight the enemy head-on, but they still managed to catch a tongue with their skills.

They took a step slower.

In the two days before them, Budu had already led a thousand Beihuan Jingqi to rush to Mongolian and Zhenhe.

The people of Menghu and Zhenhe heard that they could eat meat as much as they wanted when they arrived at Beihuan, as if they had been given chicken blood.

At this time, shouldn't everyone be leading the two troops back?

After learning this result, Yun Zheng couldn't help but frown slightly.

Damn it!

This woman, Ga Yao, reacts very quickly!

He also wanted the Eighteen Ghost Cavalry to provoke a conflict between the two tribes and Beihuan. When they sent troops to attack Beihuan, the two tribes would stab Beihuan in the back.

As a result, Ga Yao actually took the lead!

The originally good situation was turned into a bit disadvantageous for them when Ga Yao messed it up like this.

Yunzheng cursed Jia Yao silently in his heart, and then asked: "How are the equipment of the personnel in the two departments?"

"It's not that good. More than half of the people have incomplete armor."

Youjiu replied: "On our way back, we accidentally caught two spies from Beihuan..."

They interrogated the two spies separately and learned some information about the enemy troops stationed in the Modong Corridor.

Today, 20,000 temporarily recruited Beihuan young men are stationed in the Modong Corridor.

Most of the 20,000 young and strong men recruited temporarily did not have decent armor.

Some people directly wear two wooden boards on their backs, which is armor.

Some people just get one or two layers of cowhide without simple treatment and put it on their bodies.

As for the weapons of those people, they are also varied.

Some people even heated the iron rake used for digging the ground, broke it straight, and then sharpened it a little, and it became a weapon.

Knowing that Beihuan's troops were so miserable, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

"It seems that you were right to have everyone's armor and weapons buried before."

Miaoyin looked at Yunzheng with a smile.

Although Yunzheng's previous actions were troublesome, they are now useful.

If those armors and weapons were not buried and fell into the hands of the enemy, they would be able to use them again after they repaired them.

Now, the worse the Beihuan soldiers are, the better it is for them.

Yunzheng didn't speak, just thinking silently.

If nothing else goes wrong, Budu should lead the servant army of Meng Falcon and Zhenhe into the Modong Corridor to launch defense.

In this way, the number of enemy troops in the Modong Corridor will reach 40,000.

This is not good news!

After pondering for a moment, Yun Zheng asked You Jiu: "How long do you estimate it will take them to arrive at the Modong Corridor?"

Youjiu replied: "We should be able to arrive within three to five days!"

"So fast?"

Yunzheng frowned, "Do Meng Quan and Zhen He have so many cavalry?"

"No."

You Jiu replied: "Most of the Mongols and Zhenhe used draft horses or mules as temporary war horses, but basically two people rode one horse."

"However, don't we all promise that when we get to Beihuan, everyone can get a good war horse!"

"Although they did not carry any fodder, the more than 20,000 people were divided into two groups. The faster ones herded their horses and cut the fodder along the way to prepare for those behind."

"There are some Beihuan tribes along the way preparing food and fodder for them. In this way, their movement speed will increase..."

Depend on!

Can you do this?

In order to get Meng Quan and Zhen He's troops to the front battlefield as soon as possible, Fudu really did everything he could!

"Your Highness, it seems we have to launch a surprise attack!"

Qu Zhi frowned.

It would definitely be more troublesome to have Meng Quan and Zhenhe's troops rush to the Modong Corridor and then launch a surprise attack!

"really!"

Yunzheng nodded, "This is also an opportunity for us!"
