Looking at the enemy troops on the small mound in the distance, Badan, the general under the command of Right Wise King Bolun, was also a little confused.
Faced with their approaching army, why were the large cavalry in the distance so disorganized?
There's something wrong at first glance!
After stopping the advancing army, Bataan immediately gave the order: "Send out two teams of scouts to go around the slope ahead and look left and right to see if the enemy has an ambush!"
The small mound blocked Badan's view, and he could not see what was behind the mound at all.
"yes!"
Soon, two teams of scouts rushed out of the formation and approached the small slope from the left and right.
Yun Zheng guessed the other party's intention, but still ordered everyone not to react.
Look!
Let them watch whatever they want!
...
...
Anyway, it's starting to get dark.
By the time they could see clearly, it was already dark.
Looking at Yun Zheng who was sitting there as if nothing had happened, everyone couldn't help but admire him secretly.
Facing a powerful enemy, Yun Zheng could still remain so calm!
His calmness is truly admirable.
Soon, two teams of Beihuan spies circled around their two wings and had a clear view of their surroundings.
After seeing the situation clearly, the two teams of spies immediately rode back to report.
"No ambush? Only about 2,000 people?"
After receiving the report from the spies, Bataan became even more confused.
No ambush?
Are there only so few people?
He has an army of 10,000!
Moreover, he was only the vanguard.
About thirty miles behind him, there were another ten thousand elite cavalry.
Under such circumstances, why are these two thousand cavalrymen so lax?
You don't have to do this to ask for death, right?
After pondering for a moment, Badan looked up at the sky again.
At this moment, the sky was gradually darkening.
By the time they rushed over, it was almost dark.
Could it be that the enemy is ambushing somewhere further away?
If they rush over now, the enemy's ambush will come to support them?
The more Badan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Originally, the orders they received were to expel the enemy and protect the migrating tribes, and to avoid fighting with the enemy if possible.
The enemy's attitude at this moment made him even more alert.
Just as Bataan was hesitating whether to set up camp on the spot, the Dagan cavalry in the distance suddenly all jumped on their horses.
Seeing this, Badan immediately raised his hand.
As soon as his hand falls, his ten thousand troops will rush forward immediately.
Under Badan's gaze, Yun Zheng led his troops towards them.
Badan's face changed and his big hand suddenly fell down.
“Beep, beep…”
As Bataan's hand fell, the messenger behind him immediately blew the attack horn.
In an instant, the Beihuan cavalry, who had been unable to contain themselves, rushed towards Yun Zheng and his men.
However, when the two sides were still about one kilometer apart, the Dagan cavalry suddenly changed direction and retreated quickly.
Seeing them retreat, the Beihuan cavalry naturally launched a pursuit immediately.
However, Badan, who already suspected a trick, felt something was even more wrong.
The enemy obviously intended to use these two thousand cavalry as bait to lure their entire army into pursuit!
"Quick, call off the troops!"
As it was getting dark, Bataan did not dare to continue the pursuit and immediately gave the order to withdraw.
“Ding ding ding…”
As the rapid sound of gongs rang out, the pursuing Beihuan cavalry began to slow down, and finally stopped their horses, watching Yun Zheng and his men climb over the small earthen slope and escape into the distance.
"Are you calling it a day?"
Yun Zheng was slightly surprised and quickly turned his horse around and came to the small slope again.
Looking at the retreating Beihuan cavalry, Yun Zheng was surprised.
Isn't this a bit too cautious?
Was the enemy's leading general infected by that birdman Wei Wenzhong?
So you won’t pursue us?
Yun Zheng stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then immediately gave the order: "All troops, listen up: turn your horses around and charge again!"
After hearing Yun Zheng's words, Miaoyin's face suddenly darkened, "You..."
However, Miaoyin didn't say the rest of the words after all.
Military orders are as heavy as mountains!
Since Yun Zheng has given the order, nothing she says will be of any use!
Soon, Yun Zheng led another two thousand cavalrymen to rush over the slope and down.
However, Badan learned his lesson this time.
Looking at the blurry shadows approaching, Bataan did not issue an order for the entire army to attack, but just stood on high alert, waiting for them to rush over.
As Badan expected, when they were about two kilometers away from them, this group of cavalry turned their horses around and headed towards the slope again.
Bataan did not allow anyone to pursue the enemy, but only sent a small force to follow.
“Interesting!”
Yun Zheng looked back at the small group of cavalrymen whose figures had almost disappeared, and quickly led their men to evacuate.
It seems that the enemy has no intention of fighting them to the death!
Well, that’s easy!
As they walked over the slope and headed off into the distance, the sky darkened completely.
However, Yun Zheng did not stop his troops from marching. He asked people to light a few torches to lead the way, and the army followed the guidance of the torches and moved forward.
About half an hour later, they met a small group of people sent by Qin Qihu to give them the news.
Qin Qihu and his men found an ancient river channel under the guidance of the captives.
There is a forest over there, and Qin Qihu and his friends will spend the night in the forest.
Qin Qihu was worried that the two thousand people would not be able to find a place to stay overnight, so he sent someone to inform them.
Upon receiving this news, Yun Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
This is really a timely help!
The reason why he didn't ask people to rest was that it was difficult to find a sheltered place in this vast grassland.
If you don’t keep on going, you’ll get even colder!
He was ready to travel all night!
Unexpectedly, Qin Qihu and his friends actually found a place to spend the night.
Led by that team, Yun Zheng and his team quickly moved towards where Qin Qihu and his team were.
Seeing the fire in the distance, everyone cheered and rushed to the fires to keep warm.
If they really endured this in the wild all night, although people might not freeze to death, many would definitely get frostbite.
"Damn it, I hope Beihuan won't cause any more trouble after this battle!"
Yun Zheng took the barbecue Qin Qihu handed over and took a bite. He said with emotion: "It's really deadly to travel long distances in this winter..."
"Who says it's not?"
Qin Qihu nodded in agreement, "If we hadn't found this forest to spend the night, we would have had to squeeze in among those cattle and sheep tonight..."
Fighting in winter without logistical supplies is too difficult.
At this time, the enemy is not so scary.
The most terrifying thing is the deadly cold.
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Take a good rest tonight while you have a place to rest! The pursuers behind are a bit timid, I will continue to lead people to cover the rear and hold them back tomorrow! You continue to lead people to approach the Riftwind Canyon, and after noon, leave 2,000 people to escort these animals and prisoners, and you lead the rest of the troops to raid the Beihuan garrison opposite the Riftwind Canyon..."
As long as they could kill the Beihuan defenders on the opposite side of the Riftwind Canyon, they would have successfully broken through.
"good!"
Qin Qihu immediately nodded and agreed...
