Listening to Wei Wenzhong's words, the generals nodded one after another.
Yes!
The most urgent task is to protect Mayi!
Moreover, Mayi must be saved!
Otherwise, the Northern Army will be completely defeated!
"You can draw 20,000 cavalry from Suining Guard to quickly support Death Valley!"
At this time, someone made another suggestion.
"no!"
Wei Wenzhong rejected it without hesitation, "The troops of the two front guards must not be moved without authorization! Beihuan has also sent a lot of troops to the border. Once the two front guards are empty, Beihuan may take the opportunity to seize the two front guards!"
The man's face changed, and he tried to persuade him again: "But if we don't support Death Valley, the Sixth Prince's life will be in danger! Then the emperor will investigate..."
...
...
"Stop talking!"
Wei Wenzhong interrupted him and said through gritted teeth: "Shuofang has more than 100,000 farmers. If things really don't work out, the Sixth Prince can retreat to Shuofang City! If the Sixth Prince really makes a mistake and His Majesty investigates, I will take full responsibility!"
As Wei Wenzhong finished his words, the matter was finally settled.
There is nothing wrong with Wei Wenzhong doing this.
After all, the two frontline guards are more important than the Sixth Prince.
Moreover, if Yun Zheng retreated to Shuofang, more than 100,000 Tian soldiers should be able to resist the siege of the Beihuan army.
But the prerequisite is that Yun Zheng and his men must have the opportunity to retreat to Shuofang!
Wei Wenzhong did not give anyone a chance to persuade him and quickly issued the order.
"Immediately dispatch 10,000 troops from Dingbei, bring only a small amount of dry food, and set out lightly at night to support Mayi."
"Dispatch another 5,000 cavalry and move them 30 miles west of Mayi overnight. If the Northern Huan cavalry attacks, we must slow down the Northern Huan cavalry's advance toward Mayi at all costs! Even if the entire army is annihilated, we must buy three days!"
"Also, immediately send someone to Beilu Pass and order Xiao Dingwu to withdraw 10,000 troops from Beilu Pass. At all costs, rush to Mayi as quickly as possible..."
Orders came out one after another from Wei Wenzhong, and the atmosphere in the entire General's Mansion became extremely tense.
…
At the same time, Yun Zheng and his team held a bonfire party at the entrance of Death Valley.
The soldiers guarding the entrance of Death Valley were already jubilant.
If the previous two battles with the Northern Huan army were great victories, then this one was a complete victory!
The key is that they themselves won in a daze.
To many people, an avalanche occurred in the valley inexplicably.
It's like you are ready to fight someone to the death, but before you even start, the enemy falls.
You don't even know what your enemy looks like.
However, this did not affect the soldiers' joy at all.
Who cares!
Anyway, they won the battle again!
"You loser! You shot such a good warhorse into a sieve!"
While eating the delicious horse meat, Du Guiyuan did not forget to curse Yu Shizhong.
There was no other reason, it was just because Yu Shizhong faithfully carried out Yun Zheng's order asking them to try their best to achieve zero casualties!
He used a small number of troops to lure the Beihuan hundred-man scouting team into pursuit, and led them into a trap they had set in advance. Then they shot a volley of arrows at them, and the Beihuan hundred-man team was completely wiped out, and all the horses were killed as well.
Look, those war horses have become their food.
Coincidentally, the horse meat became the protagonist of the bonfire party.
"Isn't this also to reduce casualties?"
Yu Shizhong looked innocent, "Your Highness said that people are more important than horses."
“Nonsense!”
Du Guiyuan said angrily: "Your Highness cherishes the lives of his soldiers! But you are different from Your Highness! No matter how much you cherish your life, you must let these cavalrymen under your command see blood! You and I are both people who crawled out of the pile of dead bodies. Don't you understand that cavalrymen who have not experienced charging and fighting are not cavalrymen at all!"
Cavalry, after all, still have to fight head-on!
If we don't take advantage of the enemy's disadvantage and let these cavalrymen practice now, they will be defeated when they encounter the elite cavalry of Beihuan on the front battlefield in the future!
Moreover, Yun Zheng, who was still in Shuofang, would definitely not have thought that Beihuan would only send a team of 100 people to rush out of the valley to explore the way, so he asked Yu Shizhong to mainly ambush.
If Yun Zheng knew that the enemy had only so many people, he would probably take the opportunity to train his troops.
Just because Yun Zheng can ambush Bei Huan time and time again and anticipate the enemy, it doesn’t mean he can do it every time.
No matter how powerful Yun Zheng is, Bei Huan has to give him a chance!
If Beihuan directly attacks with a large army, all the clever plans will be useless!
When the time comes, we will have to engage in hand-to-hand combat!
Du Guiyuan knew clearly in his heart that even though they had won so many battles and killed many Beihuan people, the frontal combat effectiveness of their army was really not strong!
If they were to engage in a head-on battle with the Northern Huan's elite cavalry, these people might not be able to defeat the Northern Huan's 10,000 elite cavalry.
Listening to Du Guiyuan's words, Yu Shizhong couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Brother Du is right!"
Yu Shizhong nodded slightly, "It's true that I didn't react quickly this time."
Du Guiyuan nodded slightly, and then said seriously: "We are lucky to have met His Highness! His Highness considers us, and we should also consider His Highness."
"Um!"
Yu Shizhong nodded seriously and asked curiously, "Brother Du, do you know what's going on in the valley?"
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!"
Du Guiyuan shook his head gently, "It's not a divine punishment anyway!"
Du Guiyuan participated in the whole process of this matter.
Of course he knew what was going on in the valley.
He also didn't expect that the gunpowder made by Yun Zheng would be so powerful.
I guess those people in Beihuan thought they were being punished by God!
Even his death was unclear!
However, Yun Zheng said that this matter must be kept confidential.
The fewer people who know about it, the better.
"All right!"
Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Yu Shizhong stopped asking.
At this time, Yun Zheng sent someone to pass on the order, asking the two to go into the tent to discuss matters.
The two men immediately put down the horse meat in their hands and rushed to Yun Zheng's tent.
At this moment, there was joy in Yun Zheng's tent, and everyone's face was full of smiles.
Shen Luoyan looked at Yun Zheng from the side, with deep admiration in her eyes.
If there weren't other people present, she would have rushed up and hugged Yun Zheng and kissed him.
This bastard's plan succeeded again!
She only found out last night that Yun Zheng had been thinking about this plan since the first day he entered Shuobei!
Beihuan was truly defeated this time!
The key is that they only sent out eight people!
A few people against tens of thousands, the advantage is on me!
Yun Zheng’s previous words were still echoing in her ears.
She used to think that Yun Zheng was somewhat of a braggart, but now it seems that what Yun Zheng said is true!
The advantage is indeed on their side!
In this battle, some of Beihuan’s 40,000 cavalrymen must have escaped.
After all, the valley is so long and narrow, and the Beihuan cavalry must have been stretched out very long, and those at the back probably did not encounter the avalanche.
But even so, this is a great victory rarely seen in the world!
This time, Bambu is afraid that he will vomit blood again!
"Okay, forget about being happy!"
Yun Zheng stopped the excited crowd and said, "We still have a lot of things to do next!"
"Anything else?"
Shen Luoyan asked in surprise.
"There are so many things to do!"
Yun Zheng stopped Shen Luoyan and began to issue orders: "Wang Qi, tomorrow morning, you will send someone to send a battle report to Wei Wenzhong! The general content is: In order to stop the Beihuan Iron Cavalry from rushing into the Death Valley, your 3,000 troops and my 10,000 troops rushed into the valley regardless of danger and fought a bloody battle with the Beihuan army. During the fierce battle, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky and earth, and a large-scale avalanche occurred on the cliffs on both sides. Almost all of our more than 10,000 people were buried under the snow, and only a few people managed to escape by chance..."
As Yun Zheng finished his words, everyone was dumbfounded.
Is this considered false reporting of battle damage?
I guess so, right?
It’s just that others always report the least amount of their own casualties.
He was so good, he reported 13,000 casualties even though he didn't lose a single person...
