In the Northern Huan army.
The 30,000 infantry led by Jia Yao had already joined up with the 20,000 cavalry of the central army yesterday.
These 50,000 troops formed the vanguard of Beihuan's attack on Shuofang.
The 20,000 cavalrymen were the vanguard of their front army.
Jia Yao personally led 20,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and Bambu led the 30,000 infantry behind him and advanced at full speed carrying a small amount of tents and other supplies.
Just as Jia Yao was leading his cavalry quickly towards Shuofang, they sent out spies to bring back news.
"Princess, we spotted a large group of cavalry twenty miles ahead of us!"
A great cavalryman?
Did Wei Wenzhong really order the troops from Shuofang to attack them from both sides?
OK!
...
...
Very good!
Jia Yao smiled and immediately asked, "How strong are the enemy troops?"
The spy immediately replied: "Not many people, probably less than 5,000!"
Less than five thousand cavalry?
That’s really not much!
But only relative to Beihuan!
War horses are scarce, and five thousand cavalrymen are already considered a large cavalry force!
Shuofang is not an important place like the two frontier guards, so it is impossible for there to be too many cavalry.
These less than five thousand cavalrymen should be the entire assets of the Shuofang Army led by Yun Zheng!
Behind the cavalry must be the infantry!
Main force!
Yun Zheng’s main force was charging towards them!
Their 20,000 vanguard cavalry are enough to wipe out Yun Zheng’s main force!
All of a sudden, Jiayao became extremely excited.
As long as Shuofang's main force comes out, they will be completely invincible!
Even if they could not capture Shuofang City, they could eat up the people who came to support from Shuofang, and then calmly return to Beihuan through the Liefeng Gorge.
It would be even better if Yun Zheng was among the army coming to support from Shuofang!
"Order, all troops to attack! After the two sides engage in battle, send 5,000 men to deal with the enemy's cavalry, and the rest of the troops, attack the enemy's rear at full speed!"
"Tell everyone that whoever captures Yun Zheng alive will receive a reward of 100 taels of silver and 1,000 sheep!"
Jia Yao gave the order quickly.
Killing Yun Zheng was not her goal.
She wants to capture Yun Zheng alive!
She wanted to see whether this Yun Zheng was as her mentor described!
She wanted to see what a person who could make his mentor lose confidence in himself looked like!
As Jia Yao's order was passed down, all the cavalrymen of Beihuan were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
A bounty of one hundred taels!
Thousands of sheep!
This is definitely a rare and huge reward!
At this moment, all the Beihuan cavalry had only one thought.
Capture Yun Zheng alive and get the reward promised by the princess!
The morale of the army rose instantly, and they rushed forward with a roar.
At the same time, Yu Shizhong also received news that a large number of cavalry from Beihuan were attacking.
Your Highness really has a plan for everything!
Beihuan’s target is really them!
"Retreat! Retreat at full speed!"
Yu Shizhong did not hesitate at all and immediately issued the order to retreat, shouting: "Whoever runs too slow and dies unjustly, don't come looking for me!"
The Beihuan cavalry numbered at least tens of thousands.
Once these three thousand men were entangled by the Beihuan cavalry brigade, they would not even be enough to fill the gaps in the enemy's teeth!
"Retreat! Retreat at full speed!"
Yu Shizhong galloped on his horse while repeating orders.
Without any hesitation, everyone immediately followed Yu Shizhong and began to retreat madly.
Fortunately, they had not been marching very fast before, so the horses still had enough strength.
The speed of this retreat is indeed not slow.
Upon hearing the news of Da Gan's cavalry's frantic retreat, Jia Yao couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
It’s too late to retreat now!
Even if they retreat, can the infantry behind them withdraw?
However, if Yun Zheng received news that their army was attacking, he might retreat quickly.
If we want to capture Yun Zheng, we may have to capture Shuofang City in the end!
Fortunately, there are 30,000 infantrymen behind them, and behind the 30,000 infantrymen there are more than 30,000 troops!
An army of 80,000 besieged the Shuofang City whose main force had been wiped out. She didn't believe that they couldn't capture it!
Jia Yao did not hesitate and once again ordered the entire army to launch a surprise attack.
On the other side, Yu Shizhong led his troops to retreat more than 40 miles and finally returned to where they had camped before.
From a distance, a messenger rushed over.
"Duke Yu has ordered that your troops retreat to the woods on the south side immediately!"
Yu Shizhong took the order and immediately led his men to retreat to the woods over there.
Even without the order, he wouldn't rush forward foolishly!
There are three horse traps ahead!
If they rush forward, I'm afraid more than half of their 3,000 men will be killed!
Yu Shizhong led his troops to retreat into the woods, and Yun Zheng and his men immediately surrounded them.
"How is it going?"
Xiao Wanchou asked hurriedly.
Yu Shizhong replied breathlessly: "There is a large group of Beihuan cavalry behind us, with no less than 10,000 people!"
"Great! They are coming to kill us!"
Xiao Wanchou was overjoyed and immediately asked, "What formation is the enemy army in?"
Yu Shizhong shook his head: "There is no special formation! It is just a formation for a large-scale cavalry charge!"
"Haha, no formation?"
Xiao Wanchou laughed loudly, "No formation is good! I was afraid that they would charge in a triangle assault formation!"
Without a formation, it means that their horse traps will cause the Beihuan cavalry to lose more war horses!
It seems that their horse trap was not dug in vain!
"Everyone rest where you are!"
Xiao Wanchou quickly issued an order, "Order Feng Yu's cavalry to prepare immediately! Once the Beihuan army enters the horse trap, rush out immediately, shoot all the arrows on your body, and retreat at full speed immediately. Do not linger in the battle!"
"yes!"
The messenger went down immediately to deliver the message.
"call……"
Xiao Wanchou let out a long breath, "Now it depends on whether the Beihuan cavalry dares to charge towards the woods!"
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "I hope they come to kill us!"
Although he said this, Yun Zheng knew in his heart that this possibility was not high.
Once the Northern Huan army entered the area of the horse trap, they would definitely know that they had been tricked.
He was still foolishly rushing towards the woods, unless he was really blinded by anger.
Even if there were no horse traps ahead, few people would be foolish enough to rush into the woods when two armies were fighting.
Who knows how many people are lying in ambush in the woods?
He was in the woods preparing himself, just in case.
Xiao Wanchou suppressed his excitement and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, after this battle, I still want to meet Mr. Leng. Please help introduce him to me! You can tell him in advance that I will only ask him for advice on military tactics and will never discuss other matters with him!"
"I'll try my best!"
Yun Zheng nodded helplessly, "Mr. Leng is good in every way, except that he is a little stubborn. Perhaps, all otherworldly masters like him have this temper!"
Listening to Yun Zheng praising himself, Shen Luoyan couldn't help but laugh secretly.
This bastard is very straightforward when it comes to praising himself.
A hermit master?
But then again, this bastard is indeed a master!
But it’s outside the world, so forget it!
It would be more accurate to call him a pervert!
She was puzzled. Where did this bastard learn the art of war after staying in the deep palace for so many years?
Who did he learn these strange and bizarre moves from?
Just as Shen Luoyan was thinking secretly, the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang in their ears.
“Yidengdeng…”
The sound of horse hooves gradually grew louder and louder, from far away to near.
Finally, a deafening…
