Invincible Sixth Prince

Yun Zheng transmigrated into the Great Qian Dynasty as the sixth prince. He didn’t fight for the throne, nor did he engage in palace intrigues. He just wanted to secure military power and be a care...

Chapter 866 The Mess

The raid led by Yun Zheng went very smoothly.

Among their team, there were 3,000 Beihuan cavalrymen who changed into the armor of the Dayue soldiers.

The main purpose of these people is to trick the city gates into opening.

As for replacing the armor of the soldiers of the Dayue Kingdom on a large scale, he did not do it.

There must not be many people guarding the city behind the enemy lines.

The Dayue Kingdom still has its main force on the northern front. If they put on the armor of the Dayue Kingdom's soldiers and really fight, it will be too easy to confuse each other and cause unnecessary accidental injuries.

Three thousand men are enough to trick the enemy into opening the city gate.

During the march, Yun Zheng received news from scouts that there was an enemy city about ten miles ahead.

Upon receiving the news, Yun Zheng immediately ordered: "He Asu, you lead 3,000 troops to trick the enemy into opening the city gate!"

"yes!"

...

...

Heasu accepted the order.

"etc!"

Jia Yao stopped He Asu who was about to leave and ordered him seriously: "Be careful before entering the city. Be sure to leave someone to guard the city gate. Be careful of the enemy's false surrender!"

"yes!"

Heasu nodded and immediately went to prepare the troops.

"I say, aren't you being too cautious?"

Yun Zheng looked at Jia Yao with a smile on his face, "It's already this time, do you think there are still many troops guarding the cities of Dayue Kingdom? With just these three thousand people, they can basically sweep all the cities except the Dayue King City!"

This time, Lou Yi really mobilized the entire country's troops to fight against them.

If there are still a large number of soldiers guarding the city behind them, then there must be something fishy going on!

"It's always better to be cautious!"

Jia Yao's face remained calm, but she secretly cursed Yun Zheng in her heart.

Since he is not his person, of course he can speak easily.

If he was his man, he would probably be more cautious than me!

Yun Zheng smiled and said nothing more.

Soon, Heasu led three thousand cavalrymen wearing the armor of the Dayue soldiers and headed straight for the city ahead.

Not long after, Heasu sent someone to report that they had controlled the city ahead. There were no enemy troops in the city at all, only more than 300 old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers guarding the city.

Upon receiving this news, Yun Zheng immediately ordered the army to speed up the march and spend the night in the city ahead.

Soon, they entered the city very smoothly.

Faced with their large army, the people in the city were all trembling with fear, fearing that they would start a massacre.

Yun Zheng looked up, and wherever he looked, apart from women and children, there were only some white-haired old people.

Not to mention the defenders, there were not even many young and strong men in the city.

"Lou Yi has forcibly recruited all the young and strong men in Dayue Country!"

Jia Yao looked at the scene in front of him with emotion.

This is very similar to many tribes of Beihuan.

It was all for the war, the unlimited conscription of young and strong men.

In the end, the tribe was almost entirely populated by elderly people, except for women and children.

Suddenly, Jia Yao felt somewhat relieved.

He led Beihuan to surrender, made Beihuan serve Yunzheng, and even married herself to Yunzheng.

Perhaps, many people of Beihuan curse her in their hearts and are ashamed of her.

But she is glad she made the choice.

Otherwise, today's Beihuan would definitely be even worse off than Dayue Kingdom!

Let future generations judge the merits and demerits!

Yun Zheng didn't know what Jia Yao was thinking, so he just responded calmly: "Dayue Country is a tiny place to begin with. Last year, before Lou Yi joined forces with Qiu Chi and Gui Fang to launch a war, they forcibly conscripted a round of young and strong men. If they forcibly conscripted another round this year, how could they have so many young and strong men?"

After two consecutive years of forced conscription of young and strong men, the young and strong men in Dayue Kingdom should have been almost exhausted.

In addition, some young and strong people may have been conscripted for corvée labor.

It is too early to say that nine out of ten houses are empty and there are starving people everywhere.

But judging from the current situation in Dayue, if it continues like this, in two months at most, there will inevitably be widespread starvation and death in Dayue, and a large-scale civil unrest will break out because many people are unable to get enough food.

Lou Yi, this bastard, has left a mess for himself!

After a brief chat, Yun Zheng ordered his men to capture some people from the city and go collect fodder for their war horses before it got dark.

In addition, Yun Zheng specifically ordered that no looting or killing should be done at will.

They spent a peaceful night.

Under Yun Zheng's strict order, no one dared to massacre the people in the city at will.

Faced with their large army, these people did not dare to have any improper thoughts.

The next morning, after feeding the horses, they continued their journey.

In the next two days, they captured three cities in a row.

Lian Yunzheng originally thought that it would take some effort to capture the city of Somai, but there were only more than a thousand soldiers with incomplete armor.

Seeing Heasu's army, the enemy had no doubts at all and let them enter the city.

This went so smoothly that even Yun Zheng couldn't believe it.

Somai City is an important town in the northern part of Dayue.

Its function is equivalent to Lingzhou in the Northwest Protectorate.

As they captured the city of Somai without bloodshed, the enemy's retreat route on the northern front was completely blocked.

As long as Yu Shizhong led his troops to withstand the enemy's strong attack, they could complete a pincer attack on the enemy.

Not only can it annihilate the reinforcements coming from the various tribes in western Mo, but it can also wipe out the remaining troops of Dayue in one fell swoop!

Just when Yun Zheng was secretly happy, his heart suddenly jumped: "Something is wrong!"

"What's wrong?"

Qin Qihu looked at Yun Zheng in confusion.

"I also feel something is wrong."

Miaoyin and Jiayao spoke almost at the same time.

This time, Qin Qihu was even more confused.

Did they both feel something was wrong?

But what is wrong here?

Yun Zheng couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while, so he could only continue to think hard.

The same goes for Jiayao and Miaoyin.

"I know what's wrong!"

Yun Zheng raised his eyes. "The enemy's southern line has completely collapsed, and there are only so few people left on the northern line to defend Somai City? Moreover, the enemy in Somai City has no defense against those 3,000 cavalry! Are the enemy not afraid at all that we will cut off their retreat? Can the enemy guarantee 100% that they can break through Yu Shizhong and his men's defenses?"

"Yes!"

Jia Yao also reacted, "Logically speaking, the enemy should have left about 5,000 people to defend! But the enemy only left so few people to defend, there is obviously a problem!"

Miaoyin frowned, "Could this be a conspiracy of the enemy?"

"Who uses evil tricks like this?"

Qin Qihu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This isn't a conspiracy, this is clearly courting death!"

It’s a treacherous plot, you should at least have some calculations, right?

The enemy is doing this, how can they be plotting against them?

This is clearly a plot against themselves!

Um?

Calculate themselves?

Qin Qihu was slightly stunned, and suddenly exclaimed: "Could it be that the tribes in Moxi were also plotted against by Lou Yi like Qiu Chi?"

"It's very likely! This isn't the first time Lou Yi has backstabbed an ally." Yun Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Maybe the enemy troops on the northern front still don't know that the southern front has been breached!"

"Yeah! It must be!"

Jia Yao said confidently: "Even if the troops of the western desert tribes have no way to retreat, as long as they know that the southern line has been breached, they will not be so careless, unless Duilong Langri is a good-for-nothing!"

How could a commander who can lead so many troops be a good-for-nothing!

In this case, there is only one situation!

Lou Yi deliberately concealed the news of the collapse of the southern line and even passed on false information, misleading Duilunglangri.

At this moment, He Asu came running over in a hurry: "Your Highness, Princess, I just got news from the surrendered soldiers. A few days ago, Lou Yi personally led several thousand troops to escort a large amount of supplies through Somai, saying that he was going to comfort the soldiers on the northern front!"

Escorting large amounts of supplies?

To comfort the soldiers on the northern front?

"Oh no! Lou Yi ran away!"

The next moment, Jia Yao and Yun Zheng spoke almost at the same time...
