The next day, when Yun Zheng and his men were preparing to raid the Beihuan tribe, which was about twenty miles away from them, a scout came to report.
Thirty miles away from their right wing, a large group of Beihuan cavalry appeared, numbering over ten thousand.
"Want to contain us?"
Yun Zheng smiled to himself and immediately ordered Yu Shizhong: "Send a message to Qin Qihu and Qu Zhi to lead their 10,000 troops to raid the tribe ahead. Do not let the tribe members escape and report the news! Order our troops to deploy immediately and form an assault formation!"
"yes!"
Yu Shizhong immediately accepted the order.
"Do you know what I'm going to do?"
Yun Zheng asked Shen Luoyan beside him with a smile.
Shen Luoyan tilted his head and thought for a while, then replied: "You want the enemy to mistakenly think that we are going to attack them, so as to buy time for Qin Qihu's troops to attack that tribe?"
"Not bad! You've made rapid progress recently! It's obvious!"
...
...
Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, teasing Shen Luoyan.
Shen Luoyan's face flushed, and she said angrily: "If I follow you all day and don't make any progress, you must be scolding me for being stupid in your heart!"
"You sound like you're smart now." Yun Zheng laughed.
Shen Luoyan's pretty face was slightly upset, and she glared at the bastard angrily.
Looking at the two of them, Miaoyin couldn't help but laugh or cry.
It's already this time, and they still have the mind to bicker?
I don’t know if I’m too nervous or if they are too careless.
Soon, Yun Zheng and his 10,000 men quickly deployed.
In an instant, the Dagan cavalrymen with spears like a forest, looked like they were ready to attack the enemy on the right wing at any time.
As they deployed, scouts quickly brought back information on the enemy's movements.
The enemy also deployed their battle formation, but slowed down their march, obviously waiting for them to charge.
Yun Zheng smiled calmly and ordered the army to stay put.
They were just stalling for time, why would they attack the enemy's formation?
If the enemy really rushed over, they would definitely turn around and run away.
As long as Qin Qihu leads his troops to raid that tribe, they can get supplies.
Once you have supplies, you can raid the next tribe!
It all depends on whether the enemy dares to really raid them.
Even if the enemy really attacks, they are not afraid.
They are well-rested and have the advantage of weapons, so they will definitely have some advantages.
Time passes by every second.
Soon, a black mass of cavalry appeared in the distant sky.
The two sides were too far apart to see each other clearly, and could only see a large group of people and horses.
As both sides could see each other, the Beihuan cavalry gradually stopped.
They were now estimated to be about twenty miles away.
This is a relatively safe distance.
If the other party attacks, both sides can retreat.
Yun Zheng was sure that if they rushed forward now, the enemy would definitely retreat.
Just wait!
Let them waste their time!
Anyway, the weather is very suitable now, so just take people here to bask in the sun.
Yun Zheng and his men did not move, and the enemy troops did not move either.
The two sides maintained a distance of more than 20 miles, as if they had a tacit understanding.
"They really don't dare to attack!"
Shen Luoyan looked at Yun Zheng with a smile on her face.
"They just want to put pressure on us."
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "At this time, Bei Huan will be more cautious than us!"
Today, Beihuan is facing internal and external troubles.
Bei Huan definitely doesn't want to fight with them.
Jia Yao’s current target is not them, but to stabilize Beihuan as soon as possible and solve the internal problems of Beihuan.
It is a taboo in any country to fall into civil strife without declaring war on the enemy.
The two sides fought for more than an hour.
As it grew darker, Qin Qihu finally sent someone to inform them that they had raided the tribe.
Upon receiving the news, Yun Zheng immediately ordered his troops to retreat.
As soon as they retreated, the enemy began to press forward.
Listening to the scout's report, Yun Zheng couldn't help but frown.
It’s not a good idea to let Beihuan’s cavalry follow them like this all the time!
This time they dragged this cavalry and successfully raided a tribe. What about next time?
Beihuan's leading general is no fool either.
This move can only be used once.
Next time you use it, the enemy will most likely come straight at you.
no!
We have to find a way to repel this cavalry!
Otherwise, their every move is under each other's eyes.
This is not conducive to their next plan!
On the way of retreat, Yun Zheng kept observing the surrounding terrain and thinking about how to defeat the enemy.
After thinking about it, Yun Zheng couldn't think of a good solution.
After all, this is not a place like Rift Valley or Death Valley.
It is simply impossible to rely on the geographical advantage to attack the enemy while the enemy cannot attack them.
If we want to get rid of this cavalry, we may have to have a serious fight!
Yun Zheng thought for a while and saw a small hill not far away. He made up his mind and sent a message to Qin Qihu: "Order Qin Qihu's troops to return immediately and go around to the back of the hill on our flank. Once our troops engage in battle with the enemy, they will immediately attack from the flank!"
"yes!"
The messenger quickly went forward to deliver the message.
"Are we really going to have a head-on fight?"
Shen Luoyan asked with some concern.
"We have to have a head-on fight!"
Yun Zheng exhaled helplessly, "It will always be a problem for this group of enemies to follow us! If we don't defeat them, many of the dismissed soldiers will join them. By then, their numbers will increase. If we don't fight them now, they will fight us!"
If we want to continue raiding the Beihuan tribes, we must defeat this enemy force.
Now is not the time to think about casualties.
"Then fight!"
Chen Luoyan didn't say anything more, just took out his cloud pattern gun and quickly completed the assembly.
"Order our troops to slowly retreat in the direction of that tribe! Send 2,000 men on each wing to act as the rear guard!"
Yun Zheng gave another order!
He had already looked around here. Only the small hillside could be used. The view from other places was too wide and there was almost no obstruction.
The battlefield can only be set nearby.
We must lure the enemy over step by step, and defeat them right here in one fell swoop!
Soon, Yun Zheng's order was passed down.
Four thousand cavalry quickly broke away from the main force and moved to the two wings.
Yun Zheng also sent out a large number of scouts to keep an eye on the enemy's movements.
The enemy seemed to have noticed something was wrong at this time and began to speed up their march.
Yun Zheng walked forward a few miles and immediately ordered the army to turn around and assume an offensive posture again.
However, Yun Zheng's actions did not scare the Beihuan cavalry in the rear.
The Beihuan cavalry continued to advance, obviously intending to fight them.
"Order the entire army to form an assault formation! Once the battle begins, attack the enemy's right wing!"
Yun Zheng didn't care about anything else and immediately gave the order to prepare for battle.
Damn it!
The enemy probably guessed that some of their men were going to attack that tribe, and wanted to take advantage of their small number of men to defeat their 10,000-strong army in one fell swoop!
well!
Plans cannot keep up with changes!
If only the enemy general had reacted a little slower!
Now we just hope that Qin Qihu can quickly lead his troops to the flank. Once Qin Qihu's troops break up the enemy's formation, this battle will be much easier to fight!
When their 10,000 people changed their formation, the enemy had already pounced on them.
"Prepare!"
Yun Zheng roared, and when the enemy entered the five-li range, Yun Zheng suddenly drew out his sword and roared murderously: "All troops charge!"
“Beep, beep, beep…”
A burst of rapid charge horns sounded, and in an instant, everyone rushed out with murderous intent...
