Soon, the camp of the Beihuan right wing army was engulfed in flames.
Fortunately, Jia Yao ordered his men to create a gap between the right wing and the central army in time, so that the fire on the right wing did not spread to the central army and the left wing.
Although they minimized the losses as much as possible, they also lost the camps and food for nearly 30,000 troops.
This was undoubtedly a further blow to the Beihuan, which was already short of food.
Moreover, their men were busy cutting off the connection between the right wing camp and the central army, and missed the opportunity to intercept and kill the Da Gan cavalry.
Jia Yao looked at the right-wing army camp engulfed in flames with red eyes, and sat down dejectedly on the snow.
Defeated!
Even under such circumstances, she still lost to Yun Zheng.
Moreover, the pit in front of her was clearly dug by her for Yun Zheng.
But in the end, she was the one who suffered the consequences.
...
...
Ten days of food and fodder for an army of 30,000 is not too much, but it is extremely precious to the Beihuan at the moment.
Aluta!
It’s all the fault of that bastard Aluta!
If they had not been defeated so quickly, why would I have hurriedly ordered the left and right wings of the army to support Aluta's troops at the same time!
If the right wing had not been empty, how could the enemy have had the opportunity to burn their camps and food supplies!
At this moment, Jia Yao wished he could tear Aluta into pieces.
In grief and anger, Jia Yao glanced at the camp of the left wing army again.
The left is also obviously empty.
Why didn't Yun Zheng send people to burn the tents and food supplies of the left wing army?
As he was thinking about it, Jia Yao suddenly shuddered.
Guard the edge!
The large cavalry that burned down their right wing army camp rushed straight to Weibian!
This cavalry team cannot possibly be going to occupy Weibian!
So, where else can they go besides Wei Bian?
Soon, Jia Yao reacted.
Across from the Rift Valley!
These large cavalrymen are going to raid the Beihuan defenders opposite the Riftwind Canyon!
There are only 5,000 people defending there!
Moreover, they are all infantrymen composed of warriors temporarily recruited!
Faced with such a large group of elite cavalry like Da Gan, with no strategic location to defend, there was no way they could resist!
So cruel!
So cunning!
Even if he broke out of the encirclement, even if he burned their tents and food supplies, Yun Zheng would not be satisfied!
He also wants to kill on the other side of the Riftwind Canyon!
Knowing Yun Zheng's intention, Jia Yao hurriedly climbed up from the snow and shouted with murderous intent on his face: "Order the right wing army to retreat immediately and send 20,000 elite cavalry to support the defenders on the opposite side of the Riftwind Canyon at all costs..."
…
"Haha, it feels so good! It feels so damn good!"
Qin Qihu was in a good mood after successfully burning so much of the enemy's food and tents, and he laughed out loud all the way.
Yun Zheng’s plan was successful!
Not only did they successfully break through, but they also inflicted heavy losses on the enemy.
Now, Jiayao is probably going to cry!
"We're just getting started!"
Yun Zheng laughed loudly, "There are still big pieces of fat waiting for us at the back!"
"Yes, yes! And there are big chunks of fat!"
Qin Qihu laughed out loud.
Seeing Qin Qihu’s face almost bursting with laughter, Miaoyin could only shake her head and smile.
Qin Qihu's heartless character is really good!
However, once they complete their subsequent plans and return to Shuobei, the situation will probably be completely different!
I hope Qin Qihu and Yun Zheng don’t become enemies!
Just as Miaoyin was secretly sighing, the scout came back to report: "Your Majesty, ten miles ahead, we found a group of Beihuan soldiers escorting baggage, about a thousand people..."
Beihuan soldiers escorting baggage?
Yun Zheng reacted after thinking about it for a while.
They should be Beihuan soldiers escorting catapults from Weibian to the front line.
"Give him a vote?"
Qin Qihu's eyes lit up like a hungry wolf.
"Of course!"
Yun Zheng laughed loudly and immediately shouted to the messenger behind him: "Pass the order: All troops attack! No one will be left alive!"
If you catch a weak opportunity and don't take advantage of it, wouldn't that be stupid?
As Yun Zheng's order was passed down, the army quickly took action.
A distance of ten miles is not far for cavalry.
When their army appeared in front of the Beihuan soldiers, they were all in a panic.
Faced with ten thousand elite cavalry, the thousand Beihuan soldiers escorting the baggage had no power to resist at all.
It was a small-scale skirmish that was completely over in less than half a minute.
However, although the Beihuan soldiers were few in number, they did not surrender to being killed.
After the battle, more than ten of them were injured.
Fortunately, he was protected by armor and none of the injuries were fatal.
After simply treating the wounded, Yun Zheng and his men rested on the spot, burning the parts of the catapults transported by the enemy to keep warm. They also killed all the enemy's mules and horses and roasted the meat on the spot.
Although they brought some dry food, it was just for emergencies.
We can get food right now. Wouldn’t it be a waste if we don’t eat it?
Qin Qihu sent a small team of cavalry to the rear to investigate whether there were any enemy pursuers catching up, and then asked the rest of the men to dismount and feed the horses some bean feed.
The small amount of food and fodder they had just seized was also fed to the war horses.
All 10,000 of them are alone on their horses, so they have to maintain the strength of their horses. There are currently no replacement horses for them.
Yun Zheng called a young general who was a little familiar with the Beihuan territory and asked, "How far are we from Weibian?"
The young general replied, "It should be about thirty or forty miles away."
Thirty or forty miles?
We should be able to reach Weibian before dark.
Yun Zheng thought for a moment, then asked the young general: "Is there any place around here that is suitable for setting up an ambush? For example, a valley or something like that."
"this……"
The young general thought about it carefully and shook his head, saying, "Most of the places here are open, there are no places like what the prince said."
No?
Yun Zheng was slightly disappointed.
Damn it!
What a pity!
"Why don't we rush to the other side of the Riftwind Canyon? Do you still want to ambush the pursuers behind you?"
Miaoyin looked at Yun Zheng in astonishment.
"Ambush if there's a chance, forget it if there's no chance!"
Yun Zheng shook his head slightly, and after a moment of silence, he gave another order: "Take off all the clothes from these corpses, and use the snow on the ground to simply clean up the bloodstains!"
"Um?"
Miaoyin looked at Yun Zheng in surprise, "You are not going to attack Wei Bian?"
"Of course!"
Yun Zheng nodded. "We have 10,000 people, but we didn't even bring tents with us. If we don't capture Weibian, we won't even have a place to stay at night! If we stand in the wild in this weather, we will freeze to death!"
If it is other seasons, there is no need to attack the edge.
But it’s not possible in this season!
This was the reason why he started to break it down into smaller pieces in the second half of the night.
If we did that at the beginning and forced those troops to endure the ice and snow for a whole night, they would probably have no combat effectiveness at all!
"We can find a forest and light a fire to get through the night."
Miaoyin said: "There must be pursuers behind us. Once we enter Weibian, we may be surrounded again! Moreover, we only have so many people. I'm afraid that attacking the city will be..."
"You think too much!"
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled: "We are attacking with light equipment, and the pursuers must also be attacking with light equipment!"
"We don't have tents, and they definitely don't have tents either!"
"How dare they besiege us at this hour? They are courting death!"
