Guard the edge.
Yun Zheng has led the army to the gate of Weibian City.
The number of defenders guarding the border was even smaller than they had imagined.
Qin Qihu and his men successfully occupied the city gate of Weibian thanks to their attire.
When Yun Zheng and his army arrived, the border defenders had no intention of resisting at all. After leaving behind hundreds of corpses, the remaining defenders simply abandoned the city and fled.
Yun Zheng immediately ordered his men to guard the city gate of Weibian, while the rest of the people collected food and fodder in the city.
Since there are garrisons guarding the border, there must be food and fodder.
Loot as much as you can.
Even if it's just enough for their 10,000 troops to have a full meal, it would be fine.
Yun Zheng was about to enter the city when he saw the woods not far away.
...
...
After asking, I found out that in the middle of the woods was a tributary of the Baishui River.
This tributary meanders downward and gave birth to horse-grazing grassland in the lower reaches.
Is that so?
Yun Zheng thought silently for a moment, and immediately ordered people to light a fire in the woods.
Light several fires, preferably to set the whole forest on fire.
"You are so wicked!"
Miaoyin looked at Yun Zheng coquettishly and couldn't help laughing.
This bastard didn't even leave any place for the pursuers behind him to spend the night!
"Aren't I helping them light a fire to keep warm?"
Yun Zheng laughed out loud.
Burning the forest is actually secondary.
The main thing is to burn all the grass in the woods!
The enemy's horses won't be able to find even a little food to fill their stomachs!
As the two were talking, Qin Qihu ran over excitedly.
"What are the casualties?"
Yun Zheng immediately asked Qin Qihu about the casualties.
"Five people were killed in the battle, more than ten people were seriously injured..."
Qin Qihu replied.
Although they successfully occupied the city gate, the soldiers defending the city from Beihuan were in a dominant position and fought back desperately. It was impossible for them to avoid casualties.
More than ten people were seriously injured?
Yun Zheng’s brows frowned instantly.
They are going to make a long journey next!
It’s not easy to take care of seriously injured people!
Even if we bring the seriously injured with us, the possibility of them surviving is very small in this situation!
But he couldn't do anything like abandoning the seriously injured!
I believe that Qin Qihu would definitely not do such a thing.
We have to think of a way!
Yun Zheng thought silently for a while, then called a young general who was familiar with the situation around Weibian to ask: "How far is the horse-grazing grassland from us?"
"It's still about a hundred miles away." replied the young general.
One hundred miles?
It’s a bit far!
Yun Zheng thought for a moment, then asked Qin Qihu, "Are there any survivors among the Beihuan soldiers guarding the city?"
"have!"
Qin Qihu replied casually: "We have captured more than a dozen people. All of them are injured, but they will definitely not die for a while."
"Take me to see them!"
Yun Zheng said this and immediately started to enter the city.
Under the leadership of Qin Qihu, they quickly came to the captives of Beihuan.
After some interrogation, Yun Zheng got some useful information.
Because Weibian had been occupied by Beihuan for many years, some tribes of Beihuan also migrated here.
About thirty miles downstream along the tributary of the Baishui River, there is a Beihuan tribe.
However, because Bei Huan temporarily recruited a lot of young and strong men, there were not many young and strong men left in that tribe, and most of them were the elderly, the weak, women and children.
This result also confirms Yun Zheng’s previous guess.
This news is both good news and bad news for Yun Zheng.
Not far from Weibian is the Beihuan tribe.
This also meant that they could raid the tribe quickly.
But if they rest at Weibian tonight, their pursuers will most likely get supplies in this tribe!
This is definitely not a good thing for them.
Thirty miles, if the cavalry sets out now and marches lightly, they should be able to reach the tribe by dark.
Yun Zheng quickly pulled Qin Qihu aside and whispered, "Wei Bian can't stay here! I will lead 2,000 people to raid the nearest tribe immediately. You lead people to collect food and grass in the city. Take as much as you can. If you can't take it away, burn it all!"
"Leaving now?"
Qin Qihu frowned and said, "We just took over Weibian and haven't even sat down yet!"
"It's no use to guard the side now."
Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "We can't give the enemy a chance to resupply! We will head straight to the Beihuan tribe that is closest to Weibian and spend the night there!"
Qin Qihu thought for a moment and said, "Then I will lead my men to raid that tribe!"
"You just led someone into a battle, take a break!"
Yun Zheng refused directly, "Alright, it's settled! You also need to send someone to check the situation of the pursuers behind you. You must leave before the pursuers arrive and reunite with us in that tribe as soon as possible!"
"All right!"
Qin Qihu reluctantly agreed and asked again: "Kill all these prisoners?"
"Need not!"
Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "Anyway, these prisoners are all seriously injured, so leave them to them! They can't just abandon these people, right?"
Qin Qihu frowned and said, "But if you ask them about the tribe, wouldn't the pursuers know where we are if they ask them?"
"So what if they know?" Yun Zheng didn't care. "If they have the guts, they can come and attack us! We are waiting for them to tire themselves out. Why should we be afraid of them?"
Without food and supplies, what can the pursuers use to chase them?
On two legs?
Qin Qihu thought about it for a moment and nodded immediately: "Okay! Let's do it!"
Soon, Yun Zheng and Miaoyin led two thousand cavalry away.
Qin Qihu also took the time to order his men to collect food and grass from Weibian.
Now, they had no time to feed the war horses with grass and beans, so they could only take all the beans and grain away. As for the grass that was not convenient to carry, they just burned it all with fire.
A distance of thirty miles is not far for cavalry.
As soon as it got dark, Yun Zheng led his troops to the tribe.
According to the scouts' report, this tribe is quite large, but it looks deserted and there probably aren't many people.
"Pass the order! All troops attack!"
"Tell everyone, leave no one alive except the elderly and children!"
A cold light flashed in Yun Zheng's eyes, and his whole body seemed to become cold.
"Your Majesty, what if those old people and children attack our people?"
The messenger looked at Yun Zheng with some embarrassment.
"nonsense!"
Yun Zheng said angrily: "As long as they dare to take up arms to resist, they are enemies! Do you need me to teach you how to treat enemies?"
"yes!"
The messenger understood and immediately took the order and left.
Soon, Yun Zheng's order was passed down.
Yun Zheng drew out his sword, murderous intent surging through his body: "Kill!"
With a roar, Yun Zheng took the lead and rushed towards the Beihuan tribe.
"kill!"
“Kill!”
A deafening roar of killing suddenly rang out.
Two thousand fierce and wolf-like cavalrymen attacked the Beihuan tribe directly.
Hearing the shouting and killing sounds that came without any warning, the people in the tribe became completely panicked.
No one would have thought that Dagan's cavalry would appear around their tribe. By the time they reacted and hurriedly ran into the stable, Dagan's cavalry had already entered the tribe.
"kill!"
Yun Zheng's sword cut off an enemy's weapon with one blow, and then chopped off his head. He immediately rode his horse to the next target.
Behind him, a group of large cavalry quickly dispersed, reaping the lives of these Beihuan people like the god of death.
“Run! Run!”
"The big guys are coming to kill us!"
"Fight with them..."
For a moment, the entire tribe fell into chaos.
But this did not affect the killing of the Dagan cavalry at all.
The shame of the disastrous defeat six years ago is seared into everyone’s mind.
At this moment, everyone was filled with the rage of revenge.
As the Dagan cavalry slaughtered, screams and wails continued to ring out in the tribe, and the strong smell of blood quickly spread throughout the tribe...
