Chapter 498 Disgusting people
After a brief rest, the army led by Yun Zheng set off again.
Now, they were less than thirty miles away from the enemy.
Yun Zheng, accompanied by Gao Jia and others, rode his horse to a nearby high place.
Looking from a distance, the enemy troops can be vaguely seen.
However, they are still too far apart to see much.
While Yun Zheng was looking around, their scouts were constantly investigating in all directions.
A war is imminent, and investigation must be carried out.
No matter how poor the enemy's equipment is, they will definitely have an advantage in numbers.
It never hurts to be careful.
The army continued to move forward, and before they knew it, the distance between the two sides had narrowed to twenty miles.
At this time, Youjiu came to report.
The enemy troops are well prepared, but their numbers are a bit too large.
People from the Mongolian and Zhenhe tribes should have arrived.
Yun Zheng thought silently for a moment and then told Gao Jia: "Call Huo Gu and Wang Qi and follow me!"
"Yes!"
Gao Jia immediately sent someone to inform Huo Gu and Wang Qi.
Soon, Yunzheng set off with his personal guards and everyone.
Everyone galloped on their horses and arrived on a slope about ten miles away from the enemy's formation.
From this distance, the enemy's battle formation can be clearly seen.
Looking up, the enemy troops were spread out in darkness, looking like they were just waiting for work.
Wang Qi frowned and said, "The enemy's reinforcements should have arrived in advance."
"should be!"
Yun Zheng nodded slightly and asked You Jiu: "Take a few people and get closer to investigate and see if the enemy's clothing is different from the Beihuan people's clothing!"
It's good that Meng Quan and Zhenhe's people have arrived.
The fear is that their previous intelligence was wrong.
If the people from those two units haven't arrived yet and there are so many enemy troops, it will be a bit tricky.
Youjiu replied: "My subordinates have sent people to investigate closely. The results should be available soon."
"it is good!"
Yun Zheng nodded and continued to look up into the distance.
Miaoyin watched for a while and wondered: "There are so many of them, why don't they hide first and then suddenly come out when we launch a large-scale attack?"
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Too much is not enough!"
"How to say?"
Miaoyin was puzzled.
Yunzheng explained: "The enemy's spies are missing. The enemy should know that their situation is known to us. Their previous performance also proves this! It is meaningless to hide it now. It is better to show it clearly. Tell us in vain that their reinforcements have arrived, and if we want to fight them, it is best to weigh our own strength..."
"You mean, they are scaring us?" Miaoyin pursed her lips and smiled.
"That's pretty much what it means!"
Yunzheng smiled.
Even if the enemy army has an absolute numerical advantage, as long as Qu Zhi leads his troops out from behind the enemy army, the enemy army will inevitably be in chaos.
He sent twelve of the Eighteen Ghost Riders to follow Qu Zhi, led by You Yi.
The main task of Youyi and the others is to intercept the enemy's spies before Qu Zhi and the others suddenly change direction, lest the enemy's spies bring back the news of their change of direction.
While they were talking, the people sent by Youjiu came back.
and bring back the news they want.
There are indeed many people in the enemy army who are dressed differently from the Beihuan people.
The costumes were the same as those of Meng Falcon and Zhen He they had seen before.
Enemy reinforcements have indeed arrived!
Row!
Fast enough!
Yun Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and asked again: "How is the morale of the enemy army?"
"The morale seems to be quite high, but I don't know if it's a bluff."
"How about weapons and armor?"
"Just like that, more than half of the people should not have decent armor."
Is that so?
Yunzheng thought silently for a while, and then immediately ordered Huo Gu: "You immediately lead six thousand soldiers and horses and start feeding the horses about ten miles in front of the enemy's formation!"
"Yes!"
Huo Gu learned his lesson and took the order first, then asked tentatively: "What does the prince mean by doing this?"
"Nothing, just to make them think that our troops are tired, so we need to let the horses recover some strength before launching a surprise attack!" Yun Zheng smiled, "Attention, send people to pay attention to the enemy's movements at any time. Once the enemy's troops press forward, start retreating immediately! If the enemy The army just sent out three to five thousand men for a tentative attack, so there is no need to retreat, just defend where you are!"
"Yes!"
Huo Gu immediately took the order and left.
Yun Zheng turned around and ordered Wang Qi: "You also lead six thousand soldiers and horses, and feed the horses five miles behind Huo Gu's headquarters. If you see Huo Gu and his men retreating, start retreating immediately!"
"Yes!"
The royal weapon also followed the order and left.
Yun Zheng glanced at it from a distance and immediately led the people away.
In the Beihuan army.
Gayao got the news brought back by the spies.
The enemy's front army, which consisted of about five or six thousand men, began to feed the horses ten miles away from them.
"Ok?"
Ga Yao frowned slightly.
What does enemy mean?
Are they preparing to launch a surprise attack, or is this a trap set for them?
Could it be that the enemy wanted them to make a surprise attack while the enemy was feeding their horses?
It shouldn't be possible!
The two armies were only about ten miles apart.
Both sides sent spies to check the other side's movements.
Once they make a surprise attack, the enemy troops may have fled as soon as they took action.
If they make a surprise attack, they may even fall into the enemy's trap.
"Princess, why not send someone to conduct a tentative attack?"
Not all ask.
"Well, that's fine!"
Jia Yao nodded slightly, "Just send a few thousand decent people to make a tentative attack! Just in time, let the men from Menghu and Zhenhe have a look. Our people are not just watching the fun!"
The enemy wanted to feed the horse, but she refused to let the enemy feed the horse!
The enemy's retreat does not require consuming the physical strength of the war horse!
The enemy's move could be regarded as helping her, giving Beihuan's people a chance to attack.
"Yes!"
If you don't all accept the order, go down immediately to make arrangements.
Soon, five thousand cavalry rushed out of the military formation.
Although these five thousand people are not elite soldiers, their armor still looks like that.
Gayao also rode his horse to the nearby high ground, keeping an eye on the movements of the two armies.
She wanted to see if the enemy would retreat.
As their men galloped out, there seemed to be a commotion in the enemy ranks.
However, she couldn't see clearly from such a long distance.
But soon, the enemy troops seemed to have stopped the commotion, and they all stood ready, as if waiting for their attack.
Jia Yao watched silently for a while, then immediately ordered Mo Rigen beside him, "Raise the command flag and withdraw the troops!"
"Yes!"
Morigen immediately waved the manual flag.
With the waving of the command flag, a deep trumpet sound immediately sounded from the Beihuan army.
This is the signal to retreat.
Upon receiving the signal to retreat, the troops who had tentatively attacked immediately withdrew.
As soon as they withdrew into the formation, the Daqian cavalry led by Huo Gu dismounted again and took out beans to feed their horses.
After hearing the news, Jia Yao couldn't help but feel itchy with hatred.
If Beihuan hadn't been weak now, how could she have watched the enemy troops feed their horses in front of their formation?
The enemy is clearly disgusting them!
It's probably the trick of this damn bastard Yun Zheng!
Yunzheng!
Jiayao's eyes were sharp and he stared into the distance.
She had a hunch that this army was indeed led by Yunzheng himself!
Only Yun Zheng can come up with so many disgusting tricks!
