Chapter 493: Reluctant to let go of the child but unable to trap the wolf!

Beihuan Royal Court.

In the past two days, intelligence brought back by various spies has been continuously delivered to Ga Yao.

Including news of the enemy's right-wing army's sudden advance.

Gayao is very confused now.

She couldn't tell where Yun Zheng was among the enemy troops.

She wanted to attack the enemy's food route, but she didn't dare to do it rashly.

She was timid now, there was too much to consider.

She was afraid that she would accidentally fall into the trap and lose the rice.

At this moment, Jiayao began to understand Wei Wenzhong, whom she had looked down upon before.

Difficult!

Be careful and don't dare to make a wrong step!

Even with reinforcements from the ghost side, she was still extremely cautious.

This battle was too important to Beihuan, and she did not dare to imagine the consequences of losing the battle.

Just as Jia Yao was thinking hard about countermeasures, another spy brought back news.

The enemy's right army is less than 150 miles away from the Modong Corridor.

This can be regarded as entering the assault range of the cavalry.

The enemy seemed to be preparing for an assault.

No longer like before, everyone moved forward protecting the food and grass.

"Approximately how many people are there in the enemy's army?"

Ga Yao frowned and asked.

"The details are not clear. The enemy is very cautious and cannot catch the tongue."

The spy replied: "Roughly estimated, the number of cavalry plus infantry should be no less than 30,000, and the majority should be cavalry. The infantry is only responsible for escorting and guarding the food and grass."

Is that so?

If this group of cavalry were to make a surprise attack, their temporary recruitment of 20,000 people would certainly not be able to stop them.

The enemy army suddenly changed their previous marching method. Did they know that the Mongolian and Zhenhe troops were about to enter the Modong Corridor?

Does the enemy want to defeat the defenders of the Modong Corridor before these two units move in?

Jia Yao pondered for a while, then immediately walked outside and ordered to the soldiers outside: "Take a few people and follow me! Then send someone to order the tribes near the Modong Corridor to speed up their evacuation and gather the elders of each tribe together. !”

Soon, Jia Yao led the people out of the royal court and headed straight to the Modong Corridor where Gu Ge was.

Currently, Guge is leading 20,000 temporarily recruited warriors to camp there to deal with the enemy's right army.

Jia Yao led the people on horseback and galloped all the way. Apart from a simple rest, there were few stops along the way.

Even though the horses of Jia Yao and his soldiers were top-notch horses, they did not arrive at the Modong Corridor until late the next night.

"Princess, why are you here?"

Guge looked at Gayao who suddenly visited in surprise.

"I came over to check on the situation."

Jia Yao couldn't care less about his fatigue, "Let's talk about it first in the big tent!"

"Yes!"

Guge nodded and immediately followed Gayao into the tent.

The two sat down in the big tent, and Jia Yao immediately asked Guge to tell him about the situation here.

At present, the morale of this army is not bad.

After all, the enemy army was about to reach the royal court, and the bloody nature of Beihuan's men was also aroused.

Of course, this is only temporary.

Once they suffer a defeat, morale will drop rapidly.

Although they now have 20,000 people, if they fight hard, they will definitely not be able to match the Beifu Army's Right Army.

This point is consistent with Gayao's judgment.

Many people did not have decent armor or weapons, and even most of the horses did not have food.

They spent more than half of the day herding their horses, and many of them had to bring some freshly cut fodder when they came back, lest they would not be able to feed their horses in time when they were about to attack.

With such a force, how much combat power can we expect them to have?

When Ga Yao arrived, the enemy army advanced a lot.

Now, they are almost 120 miles away from where the Beifu Army is camping.

At this distance, the cavalry can kill them in one day.

Gu Ge also told Gayao some bad news.

Several of their spies haven't returned yet.

Guge guessed that those spies were probably killed by the enemy, or even captured alive!

It would be okay if it was just knocked out.

If captured alive, the enemy should have already grasped their current situation.

In this case, the enemy will most likely launch an attack.

Speaking of these, Gu Ge also sighed.

In the past, if he was given 10,000 fine cavalry, he would definitely dare to compete with Daqian's 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry.

But now, the confidence of the Beihuan officers and soldiers has been destroyed, and many people are afraid of the Daqian cavalry.

This kind of fear is very deadly on the battlefield.

Listening to Gu Ge's sigh, Ga Yao's face became more solemn.

Not only was Guge's confidence knocked away, but hers too!

In the past, if the enemy troops dared to press forward like this, they would have been beaten out long ago!

How can we still cling to the Modong Corridor?

What she is most worried about now is a sudden surprise attack by the enemy.

Jia Yao thought for a while and then asked: "Master Budu, did you send someone back to report the news?"

"Have!"

Guge replied: "According to their marching speed, they will be able to arrive by this time tomorrow at the earliest!"

Within a day?

Jia Yao felt calm.

This is good news!

As long as the Mengfu and Zhenhe troops settle in before the enemy attacks!

At this time, Guge tentatively asked again: "Princess, the enemy's method of escorting grain and grass has changed. Should we directly send troops to attack their grain and grass?"

Jia Yao pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "We don't need to take risks at this time. I'm worried that this is a vulnerability deliberately exposed by the enemy. If we burn the enemy's food and grass, we may fall into the trap!"

"This……"

Gu Ge thought for a while and suddenly stopped talking.

Gayao is too cautious.

But at this time, caution is indeed needed.

They can't afford to lose.

Jia Yao thought for a while and then said: "However, we can send people out and pretend to burn their food and grass! We have to buy time for Lord Fudu and the others, and we cannot let the enemy launch a surprise attack before Lord Fudu leads his army!" "

"That's true." Guge nodded immediately, "What are the plans for the princess?"

Gayao: "Just pretend to send a group of people across the Yellow Sand Sea to burn their food and grass. You don't need too many people, five thousand people are enough! Send more spies, be careful of being ambushed by the enemy! Send a small group of troops Go and harass the enemy, expose some flaws to the enemy, let the enemy understand the intentions of our five thousand people, so that the enemy thinks we have been fooled!"

"I'll make arrangements right away!"

Gu Ge stood up immediately.

"Don't rush this now, we can arrange it later."

Jiayao stopped Guge and asked again: "Are the cattle, sheep and war horses prepared for the Mongolian and Zhenhe tribes ready?"

"Ready!"

Guge nodded and said somewhat unhappily: "They are all going to fight the enemy anyway, so we don't need to prepare so many war horses for them, right?"

"want!"

Jia Yao shook his head, "If you want them to fight with the enemy, you have to give them the capital to fight! If they can see at a glance that we are letting them die, do you think they will still fight with the enemy?"

I can’t bear to let the child catch the wolf!

War horses must be prepared for the people in those two departments.

However, there is no need to prepare a very good war horse.

Gu Ge thought for a moment and said no more.
