Chapter 653: Capture more prisoners

On the vast land, Yu Shizhong and Jiayao were still leading their troops to raid.

They also adopted a marching strategy in which the front army prepared fodder for the rear army.

However, the Beifu Army and Beihuan's troops combined totaled 20,000 people.

This also caused their raid speed to be slower.

According to the speed of their raid, it would take about a day to meet up with Yunzheng and the others.

Yu Shizhong led 10,000 cavalry to the small grassland mentioned by Jia Yao. Without Yu Shizhong's instructions, the soldiers of the Beifu Army took action separately.

Some people began to herd horses, and some began to harvest fodder to prepare for the Beihuan army behind them.

Some people collected everyone's water bags and ran to the upper reaches of the river to fill the water bags.

Yu Shizhong stopped, grabbed a handful of fried rice, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it slowly, while he kept thinking in his mind.

More than an hour later, Beihuan's army arrived as the rear army.

At this time, the Beifu Army had prepared fodder for their horses.

When Jia Yao came over, Yu Shizhong was still thinking about something.

"General Yu, what are you thinking about?"

Jiayao asked Yu Shizhong curiously.

"nothing."

Yu Shizhong came back to his senses and asked, "Princess Gayao has something to do with me?"

Seeing that Yu Shizhong refused to say more, Jia Yao didn't want to ask further questions, so he followed Yu Shizhong's question and answered: "You know Yun Zheng very well. I want to ask you, what do you think, if a ghost jumps over the wall and desperately attacks Yun Zheng and the others? Can they block the attack?"

Yu Shizhong raised his eyes and showed a meaningful smile, "Does the princess hope that your highness and the others can block it, or does she hope that they can't block it?"

"Of course I hope they block it!"

Jiayao looked calm and replied calmly: "As long as they can block it, if our army of 20,000 people press forward, the Guifang army will basically be annihilated."

"As long as the princess hopes that His Highness and the others will block it, His Highness and the others will definitely be able to block it!" Yu Shizhong chuckled, "Moreover, the ghost side did not dare to attack in a large scale before. Under this situation, it should be even less possible to attack in a large scale again."

Jia Yao nodded in agreement, with a hint of worry on his face, "It stands to reason that Guifang does not dare to attack, but I am still worried that Guifang will jump over the wall in a hurry."

After all, Yunzheng's army only had more than 10,000 troops.

But Guifang has 70,000 troops!

Oni Fang was almost cornered.

In this case, it is possible that the ghost will jump over the wall in a hurry.

"It's rare for the princess to be so worried about Your Highness and the others."

Yu Shizhong glanced at Jiayao with a half-smile, and said firmly: "In front of His Highness, they have no chance to jump over the wall!"

Why didn't Yu Shizhong know about Ga Yao's little thoughts?

Doesn't Gaoyao still know what Yunzheng is capable of?

Jia Yao was so concerned about the situation over there with Yunzheng and the others, it was nothing more than a show of goodwill.

Before the battle was over, Jia Yao was thinking about dividing the spoils.

Yu Shizhong had some sympathy and admiration for Jiayao.

In order to get more spoils and to make the people of Beihuan live better, she basically did everything she could.

Just as Yu Shizhong was sighing secretly, a white falcon suddenly appeared in the sky.

Seeing Bai Falcon, Jia Yao and Yu Shizhong's expressions changed at the same time.

Both of them looked up at the white falcon in the sky, trying to see if it would fall.

As they watched, the white falcon began to circle in the sky.

In the end, Bai Falcon fell into the Beihuan army.

The white falcon that carries the message!

It's the news from Yunzheng!

The two men did not hesitate and immediately rode towards the resting Beihuan army.

At the same time, the falconer who received the news galloped over on his horse.

"Princess! There is news from King Jingbei!"

The falconer came to them and quickly delivered the note he had received.

Gayao took the note, immediately lit a small pile of hay with a fire stick, and began to decipher the message.

Our troops have defeated the enemy and are rushing to the west of the Yangchang River to capture prisoners.

Yunzheng's message was brief.

However, Ga Yao was stunned when he read the message.

Jia Yao rubbed his eyes vigorously and checked it carefully, fearing that he would make a mistake in deciphering it.

However, even if she deciphered it again, the content was still the same.

Yun Zheng has already led his troops to defeat the 70,000-strong army on Guifang's route?

How can this be?

After all, Guifang still has an army of 70,000!

Yunzheng only has more than 10,000 men and horses, and he only has 5,000 cavalry!

Before they could kill them, before Yun Zheng's troops launched a pincer attack on the enemy, Yun Zheng had already defeated the enemy?

Damn it!

How did Yunzheng do it?

Even if the ghost side's morale is low, they shouldn't be defeated so quickly!

After all, the army along the way was led by Guifang King Tuojing himself!

While shocked, Jia Yao secretly suspected that Yun Zheng wanted them to die, right?

But on second thought, Ga Yao rejected this idea.

Beihuan's army is not alone now.

Yu Shizhong also brought people from the Beifu Army!

Even if Yunzheng wanted to weaken Beihuan, he would not take the lives of the soldiers of the Beifu Army as a matter of course.

Seeing that Jiayao looked strange, Yu Shizhong immediately asked: "Princess, what is written on it?"

Yunzheng did not deliberately teach him to recognize those numbers.

Although he saw the numbers above, he still didn't quite understand the meaning.

What he was most worried about was that Jia Yao's crow's beak appeared, and something happened to Yunzheng and the others.

Jia Yao's red lips parted slightly and he was silent for a long time before telling Yu Shizhong the content of the news.

Yu Shizhong was surprised and happy to learn the news.

Your Highness actually defeated the enemy army?

However, after thinking about it, Yu Shizhong had another doubt in his heart.

Did Ga Yao tell him false news on purpose?

"Princess, Your Highness led his troops to defeat the enemy army. Don't you seem very happy?"

Yu Shizhong looked at Jiayao with a playful expression and began to test.

"If you were in my position, do you think I should be happy?"

Jiayao's face was filled with bitterness, and she almost wanted to stand up and curse.

She definitely didn't want Yun Zheng to defeat all the enemy troops!

What she needs is for them to work together to defeat the enemy army!

Moreover, as long as they arrive with their troops and attack the enemy from both sides, the enemy will be defeated!

In this way, they have contributed in this battle, and Yun Zheng wants to share some of the spoils with them no matter what.

Now, before any of them arrived, the enemy troops along the way had been defeated.

With Yun Zheng's character, they had no contribution, and most of the materials seized were not theirs!

This is equivalent to the food, grass and materials they obtained flying away in vain!

If she can be happy, she will be a ghost.

Yu Shizhong thought for a moment and understood what Jia Yao meant, and said with a smile: "Why is such a smart princess so confused now?"

"What do you mean?"

Ga Yao asked without knowing why.

"Isn't it also a credit to capture the prisoners?"

Yu Shizhong smiled, "Princess should know that Shuobei needs a lot of prisoners! Since we have no chance to cooperate with His Highness to defeat the enemy, let's try to capture as many prisoners as possible!"

Is that so?

Ga Yao was surprised.

After thinking silently, Jiayao smiled bitterly again.

Now, that's all!

I hope we can capture more prisoners!
