Yun Zheng divided the eight people into four groups, each with two people.
Four groups of people created avalanches in different sections of the mountain.
The group that came back were You San and You Wu.
They caused the avalanche near the mouth of Death Valley, which was closer to where they camped, and were the first to return.
Youwu was injured.
The main reason was that he underestimated the power of the gunpowder bag when lighting it, ran too slowly, and was injured by the shock.
You San was fine, but he was exhausted and his lips were a little chapped.
Yun Zheng immediately ordered the accompanying military doctor to treat You Wu, and asked someone to bring soup to You San.
They have been relying on dry food and staying strong these days, and they must want to drink some hot soup now.
After settling You San and You Wu, Yun Zheng instructed Du Guiyuan, "Order all patrol personnel to be vigilant. They must avoid accidentally hurting their own people, and not give the lucky Beihuan people any chance!"
...
...
After all, Beihuan has tens of thousands of people!
Even if they were all buried in the snow, there might be some long-lived people left alive.
It's already this time, we can't make mistakes due to carelessness.
No words were spoken that night.
At daybreak, another group of people came back.
The situation of these two people was better than You Wu's. They detonated the gunpowder in the middle of the valley, where there happened to be a ridge. They hid behind the ridge in time and thus avoided any disaster.
However, although the two men were not injured, they were very cold after rushing back overnight.
Yun Zheng ordered his men to settle them down and then led them to the entrance of Death Valley.
A group of people stood at the mouth of Death Valley and looked inside.
It's a pity that the valley is now completely covered by snow on the cliffs on both sides. It looks like it's all thick snow, and no one knows what's going on under the snow.
Looking at the situation in the valley, Yun Zheng couldn't help but secretly worry about the other two groups.
The Eighteen Ghost Riders are the only troop that he personally participated in training!
He would feel pain if he lost one.
But they have no way to go in and look for it now.
On the one hand, it was because the valley was covered with snow, and on the other hand, even he didn't know where those people were lurking to detonate the gunpowder.
Only they themselves know their location.
I hope the remaining four people can escape alive!
"Should we send someone in to dig out the snow?"
Shen Luoyan suppressed the excitement in his heart, "There are many war horses in here! These are the best rations!"
"Dig, we must dig!"
Yun Zheng nodded and said, "Anyway, we have a lot of soldiers in the field. The horses under the snow are all high-quality rations. We can't waste them like this! We'll dig out as much as we can!"
When the ice and snow melt next year, the meat may go bad.
Moreover, after the spring, this valley may not be safe!
A war horse can provide hundreds of kilograms of meat, so how can we not dig it?
Yu Shizhong immediately said, "Then I will go back and pass on the order! Bring 10,000 field soldiers here. Your Highness, do you think it is enough?"
“No rush!”
Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "After Wei Wenzhong received the battle report, even if he didn't come here in person, he would definitely send someone to take a look. Now that the snow is being dug up, won't the truth be revealed?"
Their battle report said that some of their people were buried as well!
If they are not found, even a fool would know that they are lying!
Yu Shizhong reacted and smiled embarrassedly, "It's my fault for not thinking it through."
"Okay, leave the meat here. It can't run away. No rush!" Yun Zheng turned around and ordered Yu Shizhong: "Take people to erase the traces of our army's camp. Don't let anyone see the flaws!"
"yes!"
Yu Shizhong took the order and left.
When leaving the entrance of the valley, Yun Zheng couldn't help but look back and sighed silently in his heart.
There will probably never be such a victory again!
Soon, everyone may face a real bloody battle!
…
Late at night, Dingbei City.
Although it was late at night, Wei Wenzhong still didn't close his eyes.
It is definitely too late to send a large army to support Death Valley.
A day has passed, and the people sent to Death Valley to investigate the situation have not returned yet.
He knew clearly that if the 40,000 elite cavalry of Beihuan occupied Suqu and Shuofang, the Northern Palace Army would soon face a brutal bloody battle.
As the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, his head may be lost at any time!
Just when Wei Wenzhong was getting restless, a personal soldier rushed in and said, "Report! General, our people are back, and they brought back two messengers!"
Wei Wenzhong was shocked and said anxiously, "Quick, bring him in!"
Soon, the scout sent by Wei Wenzhong came trotting in with two messengers.
Looking at the two messengers with red flags on their backs, Wei Wenzhong couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Red flag?
Why is it a red flag?
Could it be that Suqu's small garrison, together with Yun Zheng's troops, defeated the 40,000 elite cavalry of Beihuan?
This...how is this possible?
After a brief moment of unconsciousness, Wei Wenzhong regained consciousness with difficulty and said anxiously: "Quick, submit the battle report!"
Two messengers presented battle reports one after another.
Wei Wenzhong was the first to open the battle report of Yun Zheng’s troops.
Reading the contents of the battle report, Wei Wenzhong couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
Blocked!
They really stopped Beihuan’s 40,000 elite cavalry!
However, Yun Zheng and Wang Qi's troops lost a total of nearly 13,000 men.
And the kind where neither the person is found alive nor the body is found dead.
As for how many Beihuan people were killed or injured, they had no way of counting. They could only roughly estimate that at least tens of thousands of Beihuan troops were buried under the snow.
However, for Wei Wenzhong, it doesn’t matter how much Yun Zheng and Wang Qi have gained.
As long as they prevent the 40,000 elite cavalry from Beihuan from breaking in, they will win a great victory!
The crisis in Mayi has been resolved!
Wei Wenzhong suppressed his excitement and immediately opened another battle report.
The content of Wang Qi’s battle report is similar to Yun Zheng’s.
However, Yun Zheng clearly had the suspicion of stealing the credit.
"Okay! Okay!"
Wei Wenzhong stood up and breathed a sigh of relief. "Quick, take them down to rest! Send some food and wine to settle them down!"
"Thank you, General!"
They both saluted.
Wei Wenzhong waved his hand and had the two taken away and settled down.
“That was a close call! That was a close call!”
Wei Wenzhong sat slumped in a chair, holding two battle reports in his hands.
A feeling of surviving a disaster came over me.
It’s too dangerous!
If the 40,000 elite cavalry from Beihuan rush in, the consequences will be disastrous!
A strange phenomenon occurred in the sky, and an avalanche suddenly occurred!
God bless you for doing great things!
Wei Wenzhong was filled with emotion. It took him a long time to recover and he began to read the two battle reports carefully again.
After looking at it for a while, Wei Wenzhong couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.
Yun Zheng still wants to take credit?
Can he take away this credit?
No matter how many casualties they suffered, Wang Qi first captured Beihuan's spy and thus gained insight into Beihuan's conspiracy!
No matter what, Wang Qi's contribution is greater.
Well, I must commend Wang Qi for his achievements this time!
If Wang Qi had not discovered Beihuan's conspiracy in time, with the speed of Beihuan's elite cavalry's raid, they would not have had time to provide support, and Beihuan's 40,000 elite cavalry would have probably already raided Mayi!
It can almost be said that Wang Qi saved the entire Northern Army!
This is a huge achievement!
No one can snatch it!
OK!
In the past, they had always seen Yun Zheng winning battles, which made the standing army very embarrassed. This time, Wang Qi finally helped them regain their face!
I finally have an explanation to His Majesty!
