Chapter 447 Recapture

Setting fire to the camp, abandoning the car and the marshal, Nan Yan is really cruel.

This action was expected by Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu, but when they saw it with their own eyes, they couldn't help but sigh.

The camp was set on fire, but the wounded soldiers left behind were real lives.

"What should we do now?" The wounded soldiers looked at each other, all with a look of panic and despair.

"Fight them!" The sanguine people gritted their teeth.

"The generals have abandoned us! Should we still fight for them?" Some people were unwilling.

"We have been abandoned, but we still have families. If for nothing else, just for the safety of our families, we should swear to defend Nan Yan to the death!"

This sentence made everyone silent.

After a moment, the wounded soldiers clenched their weapons, turned around and looked back at the approaching Dazhao army, roaring and screaming.

"Fight them!"

"Kill!"

The abandoned 20,000 wounded soldiers were like a mother beast that was injured and forced to the cliff by hunters. Knowing that they would die, they had to fight to the death in order to buy time for their cubs to escape. Dazhao,

with its strong soldiers and brave generals, would easily fight against Nanyan's defeated soldiers and generals, and the victory or defeat was undoubted.

But looking at the Nanyan military camp that turned into a sea of ​​fire, Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu had other plans.

"Nanyan evacuated urgently, and the food and grass must not have been taken away. Quickly attack the military camp and find a place to hide the food." Yu Zheng gave the order after a calm analysis.

"Yes." The general received the order and left.

Food and grass are the lifeblood of the army.

Nanyan is ambitious and wants to delay Dazhao, so they must have prepared enough food and grass.

Even though they are close to Shuncheng, most of the food and grass are stored in Shuncheng, but the daily consumption of 100,000 troops is very large, and there must be a lot of food and grass in the barracks.

If they can get it from the fire, it will be a great help to Dazhao.

There is no reason to refuse free food.

The Dazhao army is eager to enter the barracks, but the wounded troops of Nanyan are blocking the entrance of the barracks and not letting them in.

Seeing the fire burning more and more fiercely, the Dazhao army is anxious and the attack is more fierce. They are all desperate to kill.

As the Nanyan Army fell one after another, the Dazhao Army finally fought its way into the military camp.

The remaining Nanyan Army still wanted to stop them, but they were divided and surrounded by the Dazhao generals, and they could no longer resist.

"You go there, you go here... After finding the food storage area, report back immediately to put out the fire." The generals urgently assigned people.

The Dazhao Army took the order and quickly split up to search.

The weather had been dry for many days, and the kerosene and breeze caused the fire to spread very quickly.

In just a quarter of an hour, the tents were burned down to only a few thick wooden frames, which were still burning and crackling after collapsing on the ground.

The Dazhao Army was not afraid of the scorching fire and quickly shuttled through the military camp to search for food storage areas and other useful materials.

"Found it, here!" Suddenly, someone shouted loudly, with a tone of surprise.

The surrounding generals rushed over immediately after hearing this, and after confirming it, they said happily: "It's food, put out the fire quickly!"

The Nanyan people poured kerosene on the food, and the food on the surface had been burned into black ash, but the food underneath was still intact and could be eaten after being rescued.

The generals worked together, and when there was not enough water, they cut down trees and used green and wet leaves to put out the fire.

However, the fire was too big, and the billowing thick smoke darkened the sky, and the generals coughed non-stop.

A soldier couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if God could send some rain."

"This is food, it's useless if it gets wet."

"That's right..."

"Stop talking nonsense, put out the fire quickly."

The fire was big, but it was no match for the large number of Dazhao soldiers. After half an hour, most of the fire was put out, leaving only a few scattered flames.

The reason for trying so hard to put out the fire was, on the one hand, to save food, and on the other hand, to preserve Changling Mountain.

The Nanyan military camp was close to Changling Mountain. If left alone, the fire would spread to Changling Mountain. This was also one of the plans of General Zuo.

The Dazhao army was busy putting out the fire and had no time to chase them. By the time the fire was put out and under control, the Nanyan army had already retreated far away, and it was impossible to catch up.

"Your Highness, the fires are out, and we are checking the available supplies." The general reported to Yu Zheng.

Yu Zheng nodded, raised his head and looked up at Changling Mountain. "Do you want to go for a run?" Zhou Boxu asked. After coming to Yicheng, the two of them inspected other places in Yicheng, but Changling Mountain was occupied by Nanyan, so they had never had the chance to go there. Today is a good time to recapture Changling Mountain. "Okay." Yu Zheng responded solemnly, and led a team of guards to inspect Changling Mountain with Zhou Boxu. Before riding away, Yu Zheng remembered something and ordered the soldiers, "Go and report to the princess, the battle is over, the army will be back soon, and there is no need to send food." It was almost noon, and Jiang Shu didn't know the battle situation. If she didn't inform her, she might have sent food. "Yes." The soldiers obeyed the order. "Drive——" Yu Zheng spurred his horse and galloped with Zhou Boxu along Changling Mountain. Changling Mountain is majestic and magnificent, and it is green all year round. It is not only a barrier for Dazhao, but also a treasure mountain on which the people of Yicheng depend for their survival. Changling Mountain is rich in various medicinal materials and wild vegetables, as well as various birds and beasts, providing Yicheng with rich living resources. Jindong has been collecting herbs in Changling Mountain for many years to make a living. The terrain at the foot of Changling Mountain is flat and wide. Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu ran from one side of the mountain to the other, and finally stopped on a high ground, looking into the distance. The cold wind blew in their faces, and the two people's black hair and clothes fluttered freely. "That's the land of Nanyan." Zhou Boxu said, looking at the undulating mountains. The mountains of Nanyan and Dazhao look the same, and even the people of Nanyan live the same life as those of Dazhao. But the same mountains and the same people have different hearts. Nanyan has always been eyeing Dazhao covetously and has never thought of coexisting peacefully. Yu Zheng retracted his gaze and stared at the ground nearby.

On the road leading to Nanyan, there were clear traces of carriages and horses, which were left when Nanyan evacuated not long ago.

Those traces reminded Yu Zheng that Nanyan had just invaded Dazhao.

"Pah--" A drop of rain fell on the back of Yu Zheng's hand.

"It's raining, let's go back to the city." Yu Zheng came back to his senses, reined in his horse and turned around.

When the two of them drove past the military camp under Changling Mountain, they saw the generals looting supplies.

"Quick, take all the food away first."

"These things can be exposed to the rain, and we will collect them later..."

The generals hurriedly searched everywhere for usable supplies in the drizzle.

Checking the spoils is the best way to celebrate a victory.

"My lord, my lord, the rain has become heavier, you should go back first, I will watch here." The general wiped the raindrops from his face, feeling happy.

Obviously, he was happy to do this job.

Yu Zheng glanced at him, left a message to return to the camp as soon as possible, and went back to the city with Zhou Boxu.

After seeing the two off, the general turned around and shouted, "Everyone, move faster, otherwise you will get soaked."

"Hahaha..." The generals laughed and didn't care.

Among the 80,000 troops, only one or two thousand were killed. Except for the cavalry who left with food on horseback, the rest of the generals took some supplies when they returned to the camp, and emptied the useful things in the Nanyan military camp.

Even the firewood chopped by the Nanyan people was not let go by the Dazhao army, and each person carried a bundle back to the military camp for direct use.
