Chen Luoyan didn't believe what Yun Zheng said about humanitarianism!
In a war of life and death, how can there be so much humanity?
Yun Zheng chuckled and replied, "I plan to trade the body for a warhorse from Bei Huan."
"Change horses?"
Everyone looked at Yun Zheng in astonishment.
Yun Zheng scratched the blood scabs on his hair and said calmly, "We also lost 500 people. I was so kind to return the bodies of the Beihuan cavalry to Beihuan. Shouldn't Beihuan give us some compensation?"
“…”
After listening to Yun Zheng's words, everyone's faces turned black.
Benevolence and righteousness?
He probably wants to kill Bei Huan!
...
...
"Can you please have some shame?"
Shen Luoyan laughed and scolded: "It's good enough that Beihuan didn't ask you for losses, and you're still asking Beihuan for compensation?"
Beihuan lost nearly 16,000 people, while they lost less than 500 people.
He is still asking Bei Huan for compensation for the losses?
If Beihuan can give it to him, then there must be something fishy!
"Of course I have to make up for it!"
Yun Zheng said confidently: "They are the ones who started the war, why shouldn't we ask for compensation? Bambu the bastard still owes me thousands of war horses! Yes, and there is also Sanbian City!"
These are what Beihuan should do!
If Beihuan won’t give it to you, then go and get it yourself!
Killing so many Beihuan cavalrymen today can be regarded as revenge for those grain escorting soldiers who were killed by Beihuan!
Let’s settle the accounts one by one!
Not a single penny can escape!
"have to!"
Chen Luoyan shrugged, "Then I'll see if you can get compensation! But I have to remind you, Bambu is cunning, you have to be careful! Don't not get any compensation and get our people involved!"
"Don't worry! I have a way!"
Yun Zheng winked at her and ordered Yu Shizhong, "Interrogate the prisoners and ask them for news! See if Bambu is at the Beihuan front! Also, who is the leading general of Beihuan..."
"yes!"
Yu Shizhong immediately took the order and left...
Weibian, Beihuan camp.
"What?"
"Can you say that again?"
After receiving the news brought back by the people who escaped, Bambu and Wulie stood up suddenly.
The two men stared with wide eyes at the Beihuan cavalry who reported the news, almost unable to believe their ears.
Their plan was seen through!
They wanted to intercept Yun Zheng's 20,000 elite cavalry but encountered an ambush!
In such a hurry, only less than four thousand people escaped!
The deaths of Shudu and his deputy Yesu are unknown!
Faced with such sad news, the two felt dizzy.
The soldier who brought the news looked at the two men with grief and anger on his face, and repeated the news he had just brought back.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Wu Lie still couldn't believe this fact. He stepped forward and grabbed the soldier who reported the news, and shouted with a twisted face: "Our people crossed the Baishui River in the early morning in the snow. Where did the people from Da Gan come from to ambush us?"
Whether it is Shuofang, Dingbei or Suiningwei, they are all so far away from the Liefeng Canyon.
It would take them a long time just to run from the city to the Riftwind Canyon!
Even if all the Da Gan were cavalry, and even if they ran to the Riftwind Canyon to set up an ambush at daybreak, it would be too late.
"I...I don't know!"
The soldier who reported the news was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was about to cry.
"Who ambushed them? Who is the enemy commander?"
Wu Lie gasped and asked angrily.
"I don't know..."
The soldier answered reluctantly.
"have no idea?"
Wu Lie was furious. "You know nothing. What use do I have for you?"
Wu Lie drew the scimitar from his waist.
"The Great Prince!"
Bambu came to his senses and quickly stepped forward to stop them. He said with a face full of grief and indignation: "I'm afraid the people from Dagan have set up an ambush there a few days in advance, waiting for us to fall into their trap..."
If the enemy wanted to ambush them, they would definitely have to arrive at the Riftwind Canyon in advance.
The enemy would have to spend at least one night in the wild before they could be ambushed early in the morning.
"How many days in advance?"
Wu Lie held the hilt tightly and gritted his teeth, saying, "Impossible! In such cold weather, those sheep can't survive in the snow for so long. They can't even survive a whole night!"
Wulie looked down upon those who were powerful.
In such extremely cold weather, even the people of Beihuan would find it difficult to survive overnight in the wild, let alone the people of Dagan?
Bambu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The eldest prince underestimated the people of Da Gan! Although the soldiers of Da Gan are not as brave as our Beihuan men, they are definitely not stupid! They will have many ways to survive a few days in the snow. We were careless..."
Didn't the Beihuan elite cavalry arrive at the assembly point ahead of time, endure a cold night in the wind and snow, and then cross the Baishui River in the heavy snow early in the morning?
If they can do it, why can't they do it too?
The attempt to steal a chicken ends up with the loss of the rice!
At this moment, Bambu deeply felt this feeling.
It was obvious that the people in Dagan had seen through his plan long ago.
He was setting a trap for Yun Zheng's troops, but Da Gan's men outwitted him!
Yun Zheng's troops gathered at Langya Mountain Pass, probably just for show!
They were deceived!
Wu Lie pushed away the pale-faced soldiers, chopped the table in the tent in half with a knife, and roared murderously: "This prince will make the damned Dagan people pay the price!"
Although they didn't know the situation of the remaining 16,000 people, since Da Gan had set up an ambush there in advance, he would definitely not let those 16,000 people go.
Even if some people rushed out of the canyon, they would definitely be only a small part.
It is only a matter of time before this small group of people are wiped out in Dagan territory!
completely annihilated!
Their first battle against Da Gan since the beginning of winter ended in a disastrous defeat.
"Calm down, Prince!"
Bambu quickly persuaded the furious Wulie, "We want to avenge them, but we need to think long and hard!"
"Long-term plan?"
Wu Lie looked at Bambu with his eyes blazing with fire, "You have been planning for so long, and this is the result you got? Are you still thinking about planning?"
Wulie vented all his anger on Bambu.
In his opinion, if it weren't for Bambu's conspiracy, how could they have lost 16,000 elite cavalry in vain?
Although Beihuan was still wealthy, the loss of 16,000 elite cavalry still hurt Wulie greatly.
Moreover, all of Shudu’s tribes are his!
Bambu was choked and speechless, unable to utter a word for a long time.
This plan was indeed drawn up by him.
He must bear the primary responsibility for the defeat in this battle.
It is understandable that Wulie vented his anger on him.
"The defeat in this battle is indeed the fault of this old man alone."
Bambu sighed deeply: "However, our army has just suffered a great defeat. Prince, please calm down and think about what to do next! Attacking Dagan's city by force will only bring harm to our Beihuan..."
After saying that, Bambu slowly walked out of Wulie's tent.
The failure of this plan caused Beihuan to suffer heavy losses, and he needs to calm down now.
This cold winter season has not yet passed, and their battle with Da Gan will continue.
The army had just been defeated, and he had to think about what to do next...
