Night falls.
Dagan's cavalry began to exit from the gap in the east gate and feinted an attack on the left wing of Beihuan.
However, Da Gan's cavalry was a little too cautious.
A group of people lit several torches, rushed out for a distance, and then turned around and ran back.
After several feint attacks, they each broke through the gap in the east gate less than two hundred feet and immediately ran back.
Every time the Beihuan left wing army was about to attack, the Dagan cavalry ran away again.
After several battles, the Beihuan cavalry were somewhat exhausted.
But the cavalry seemed to enjoy it.
At the same time, Aluta's troops at the south gate were encountering the same situation.
Bonfires lit up their camp, and the soldiers of Da Gan rushed forward shouting and killing from time to time.
...
...
But every time there is just a lot of thunder but little rain.
Aluta also saw that Dagan was feinting, so he just ordered his soldiers to be on high alert and not to go out to fight.
He had previously ordered his men to dig several horse traps in front of the battle formation, so he was not afraid of the sudden attack by the Dagan cavalry.
Just deal with these infantrymen, he is not afraid of any attack!
After all, there is still such a long distance!
Infantrymen are not as fast as cavalrymen in coming and going. Even if a large number of infantrymen rush to two hundred feet in front of their formation, they have plenty of time to organize a defense and counterattack.
"Is there still no movement at the west gate breach?"
Jia Yao frowned and called the guards outside the tent to ask.
"Yes!"
The guard nodded, "There has been no movement over there."
Jia Yao frowned slightly, and ordered his guards, "Send a few people to check the gap in the west gate."
"yes!"
The personal soldiers immediately received the order.
Jiayao frowned and looked up at Bambu, "Master, what on earth is Yun Zheng doing?"
"have no idea."
Bambu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Yun Zheng is too cunning. I can't figure out his intentions! But one thing is certain, Yun Zheng will definitely take action tonight!"
Jia Yao's move of connecting the tents together was indeed a brilliant move.
He believed that even if Yun Zheng saw through the trap, he would definitely come to burn down their tents.
Even if Yun Zheng didn't have this idea, other generals in Da Gan would definitely take the risk and give it a try.
No one can resist such an opportunity.
"This cunning bastard is really hard to figure out!"
Jia Yao rubbed his head with a headache.
She didn't know what was going on. Even though they had an absolute advantage, she was still a little unsure. She was still worried that the cunning bastard Yun Zheng would strike in a way they couldn't expect.
"Don't worry Princess."
Bambu comforted him, "Our military strength is far superior to theirs. No matter how Yun Zheng plots, as long as we remain unchanged, his plot will be exposed sooner or later!"
Jia Yao thought about it and nodded slightly.
Despite this, she still felt a little uneasy.
When dealing with a cunning opponent like Yun Zheng, she must be extremely alert.
The sounds of fighting and killing continued until late at night.
Jiayao and Bambu were both asleep. In this situation, they couldn't fall asleep at all.
Even the soldiers in the camp couldn't sleep.
The closer it got to dawn, the more restless Jia Yao became.
There has been no movement at the west gate gap!
There has been no movement at the north gate in front of them!
Yun Zheng has been going through this all night!
Yun Zheng couldn't just do this to tire out their army, right?
They will be tired. Won't the soldiers who work so hard also be tired?
If they can't sleep, how can the hard-working soldiers sleep?
If Yun Zheng is not trying to torment them, then he must have some other plan!
Otherwise, Yun Zheng’s efforts would be counterproductive.
While Jia Yao was racking his brains, the Dagan cavalry at the gap in the east gate launched another feint attack.
Just like before, there was much thunder but little rain.
But even so, Beihuan still sent out a small number of cavalry to prepare for the battle.
As expected, Da Gan's cavalry turned around and ran back before they got within the range of arrows.
The Beihuan cavalry were too lazy to chase after them. By the time they caught up with them, the enemy had already entered the city.
After being tormented like this for a whole night, the Beihuan cavalry had already started cursing.
If Jia Yao had not strictly ordered them not to attack the city, they would have rushed in and killed these annoying Dagan cavalrymen who were as annoying as flies.
"coward!"
"A bunch of cowards!"
"Useless trash, all you can do is run away!"
The Beihuan cavalry cursed loudly.
However, Da Gan's soldiers just laughed out loud, and occasionally two people talked back, but they were drowned out by the laughter of the crowd.
But it’s different from before.
This time, when the Da Gan cavalry ran back, dozens of them quietly ran to a place where the torches could not reach, quickly disappeared into the darkness, then slowed down their horses, and gathered in the southeast direction in the dark along the edge of the city wall.
Soon after they disappeared into the darkness, a large group of cavalry rushed out of the city.
It's the same as before, loud thunder but little rain.
In other words, there was not a drop of rain.
But when they were returning, dozens of riders followed the same method and left the team.
The Beihuan cavalry were extremely annoyed by the Dagan cavalry and could only vent their anger by cursing. No one noticed the abnormality of the Dagan cavalry at all.
As they moved forward slowly, the first few dozen riders who had left the team had already reached the southeast corner of the hill and were ready to mark the point.
It was almost pitch black around, with only a very dim lamp there.
This is their marking point.
They all have to gather here.
After reaching the marked point, everyone dismounted, took out the cloth that had been prepared long ago, and wrapped the cloth around the horses' hooves in the dark. They did not do this until all four hooves of the warhorse were wrapped with cloth, and then they huddled together to keep warm.
People continue to gather.
When the sky was getting slightly brighter, Yu Shizhong quickly led a thousand elite cavalrymen to the small gap in the southeast direction.
Originally, Yun Zheng wanted to get 2,000 cavalry, but after repeated discussions, he felt that this was not feasible.
Two thousand cavalry are too many.
That road is too narrow.
It would take too much time for two thousand cavalrymen to reach the ice surface of Baishui River through that path.
The time left for them is very limited.
There is no cover around here, and as long as it is brighter, the enemy will be able to discover their tracks.
One thousand riders is basically the limit.
Thanks to the fact that the war horses' hooves were wrapped in cloth, and the gap at the east gate and the south gate were still making a feint attack, there was so much noise everywhere that no one could hear the sound of horse hooves.
Finally, Yu Shizhong was the first to rush to the entrance of the path covered with dead grass.
"Tell the people behind to catch up quickly!"
Yu Shizhong whispered an order and immediately rode down the trail.
The path is not long, only about two hundred feet away.
Yu Shizhong quickly crossed the path and came to the frozen river.
The people behind also continued to pour out along the trail, and began to line up consciously, ready to charge at any time.
When the sky brightened, the thousand riders finally passed through the path and assembled on the frozen river.
"Set off!"
Yu Shizhong growled and led everyone forward slowly.
When they were about three or four miles away from the shallows, Yu Shizhong's eyes suddenly turned fierce and he roared murderously: "All troops, attack! Kill!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Shizhong immediately spurred his horse into a gallop.
Behind him, a group of cavalrymen drew their swords and charged on horseback...
