The edge of the hill.
Yun Zheng became a little anxious as he had not received any news of any unusual movements from the Beihuan enemy forces.
Damn it!
Their grain escort teams are about to move in to clear the border!
Jiayao isn't taking any action yet?
Could it be that Jia Yao wanted to wait until their people entered Qingbian before taking action?
This is impossible just think about it!
Although the Qing border was severely damaged, most of the city walls are still there.
Relying on the ruined city walls of Qingbian to launch a defense, they definitely still have a great advantage.
If we really wait until they enter Qingbian before taking action, Jia Yao must be crazy!
...
...
Or maybe Bei Huan really doesn't want to fight anymore?
You don’t even have any evil thoughts?
Not really?
If you don’t take advantage of an opportunity, you’re a bastard!
Jia Yao should also be someone who understands this principle well.
I hurriedly sent her food and supplies, would she refuse them?
Moreover, this happened when Beihuan was so short of food!
Jia Yao shouldn't let go of this piece of fat meat that is right at her fingertips, right?
"Okay, stop looking so sad."
Miaoyin came to Yun Zheng and sat in his arms, laughing sweetly, "I suddenly realized that you are most interesting when you are naughty. When you are serious, you are really boring."
"that is!"
Chen Luoyan nodded in agreement, "If Jiayao doesn't take action, we will just move into Qingbian! If Jiayao takes action, we will trick her once! Anyway, we won't suffer any loss, so why are you worrying!"
"So, you are not a good businessman!" Yun Zheng hugged Miaoyin's waist and smiled at Shen Luoyan, "If Jiayao doesn't take action, we will suffer a great loss!"
"How can this be a big loss?" Shen Luoyan asked in confusion.
Yun Zheng hooked his finger at Chen Luoyan, "Come here, I'll tell you!"
As soon as she saw Yun Zheng like that, Shen Luoyan knew that if she got close to him, he would definitely take advantage of her.
However, by now, she has long been accustomed to Yun Zheng taking advantage of her.
Do you still care about being taken advantage of by him when you are hugged by him all day long?
But now Miaoyin is here.
She still couldn't let go to some extent.
“Come on!”
Miaoyin looked at Shen Luoyan with a smile, "Hasn't he taken advantage of you enough? Why are you still ashamed?"
"You think I'm you!"
Chen Luoyan glared at Miaoyin with a blushing face, but still walked over.
As expected, as soon as she walked over, Yun Zheng grabbed her waist.
Yun Zheng held one of them in each hand, playing with the two girls with his hands, but his face was serious, "I never thought of entering Qingbian so soon! There is no point in entering Qingbian now, it will only make our supply line longer! Wouldn't it be better if we save the food and grass consumed on the supply line?"
Now, Beihuan has completely withdrawn from the three border cities.
It's the same whether they occupy the Qing border or not!
Directly stationing troops on the Qing border would actually give the enemy an opportunity to launch a surprise attack.
The supply of food and fodder is also a problem.
Most of the food and fodder they escorted this time was fake food and fodder made of mud and weeds.
But when the troops are stationed at the Qing border, the food and fodder that will be escorted from now on will be real food and fodder!
Even if the enemy doesn't rob their food supplies this time, they will find a way to rob them in the future.
Their primary goal now is not to occupy a city or a place, but to consume Beihuan’s war potential!
When Beihuan is completely unable to fight again, they will occupy wherever they want.
“That’s… true!”
Shen Luoyan nodded in agreement.
Miaoyin looked at Yun Zheng from the side, "That's true, but if Jiayao didn't lead the army to rob food, how could we lose? How did we lose?"
"I know!"
Shen Luoyan immediately stopped Yun Zheng and said with a smile: "We have dispatched so many people and consumed a lot of food and grass. If the enemy does not take any action, our food and grass will be wasted!"
Although the soldiers and horses still have to consume food and fodder even if they are not moving, the difference in food and fodder consumption between when they are moving and when they are not moving is still quite large.
In Yun Zheng's words, how can you want the horse to run without giving it grass to eat?
Listening to Chen Luoyan's words, Miaoyin suddenly understood.
She didn't lead the team, so she really didn't pay attention to these things!
Looking at Shen Luoyan's appearance, Yun Zheng couldn't help but nodded and smiled.
Um!
Everyone will answer it!
Jiayao, Jiayao, please don’t let me down!
If you make me lose money, I will find an opportunity to claim your loss from you!
…
On the second night, Jia Yao left three thousand men to guard the camp and personally led seven thousand troops to set out at night.
In order not to attract the enemy's attention, Jia Yao strictly ordered the soldiers not to speak.
They also did not march at full speed to avoid making too much noise from the galloping horses.
After a night of marching, at dawn, Jia Yao finally led his troops to the designated location.
After a sleepless night, most of Jia Yao's soldiers were exhausted.
However, now is not the time for them to rest.
Following Jia Yao's order, the army immediately launched a rapid raid.
Not long after launching the raid, they discovered traces of enemy scouts.
However, at this point, Jia Yao didn't care at all whether the enemy scouts had discovered them.
They were only a dozen miles away from the enemy's left wing.
The cavalry's quick attack would soon cut off the connection between the enemy's left wing cavalry and the grain escort team.
Just when Jia Yao led his troops to launch a surprise attack, Hu Luo sent someone to report that the part of the Dagan cavalry in front of the grain escort team was retreating frantically, and Hu Luo was currently leading his troops to pursue the enemy.
A crazy retreat?
Jia Yao's heart trembled, as if he had thought of something.
forage!
The enemy knows they are defeated and will most likely burn their food supplies before retreating!
no!
We must not let the enemy burn the food supplies!
"Order the entire army to launch a surprise attack in the direction of the enemy's grain escort team!"
As he said that, Jia Yao led his troops to launch a surprise attack over there.
At this time, Qu Zhi was leading 5,000 cavalry in a desperate retreat.
They are walking on the edge of a knife!
If you run too slowly, you may be surrounded by the enemy!
Soon, Qu Zhi led his troops to meet up with the grain escort team in the rear.
At this moment, many soldiers escorting the grain were harnessing the draft horses to the carts that were transporting the grain.
A small number of draft horses have also been harnessed.
"Don't use a set!"
Qu Zhi yelled, "Order everyone to mount their horses! Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
Hearing Qu Zhi's order, everyone was slightly stunned.
After a brief moment of unconsciousness, a few people directly turned draft horses into pack horses, quickly climbed on the horses, and ran towards the edge of the hill without looking back.
Although draft horses don't have the explosive power of war horses, they are at least faster than humans!
Some people wanted to untie the horses that were harnessed to the grain cart, but were stopped by Qu Zhi.
“It’s too late!”
Qu Zhi shouted loudly: "Everyone retreat, gather behind the small hill ahead!"
Following Qu Zhi's order, everyone did not bother to untie their horses and ran to the back for their lives.
As they were running to the rear, the cavalry led by Qu Zhi were gathering there.
When the infantry and cavalry joined together, everyone mounted their horses.
Almost always two people and one horse.
Now we are trying to escape and have no time to take care of our horses.
As long as they escape twenty miles, there will be people to pick them up from behind, and the enemy will definitely not dare to pursue them.
At this moment, everyone seemed to have suffered a great defeat and fled madly...
