In the Northern Huan army.
Jia Yao spent another sleepless night.
Ever since her father's tragic death, she had no idea how many sleepless nights she had spent.
It’s not that she didn’t want to sleep, but she really couldn’t sleep.
A huge burden is placed on her, and she is under more pressure than anyone else.
Although she saw through the enemy's plan yesterday, she did not feel happy at all.
No, none of them arrived within the promised time!
She saw through the enemy's intentions yesterday, and the enemy may have seen through her intentions as well!
Today, the enemy is likely to launch a large-scale raid!
Once the enemy attacks, these 20,000 people will probably be contributing military merit to the enemy!
...
...
All she could do now was to delay the enemy and buy as much time as possible so that the Mongols and Zhenhe could join them.
She had already sent people to urge Budu to lead his troops to join them as soon as possible.
If another 20,000 troops come in, the morale of the army should be boosted.
Now, even a little boost in morale would be good for them.
If their morale is high, and if they allow the Mongols and Zhenhe to kill off some of the enemy's strength, they may even be able to defeat this enemy force!
"Princess, the spies reported that the enemy launched a large-scale raid!"
At this moment, Gu Ge hurried in to report.
"A massive raid?"
Jia Yao stood up suddenly and asked, "How many people are there?"
“Not sure!”
Gu Ge shook his head. "It looks like all the cavalry have launched a surprise attack. There are many more people than yesterday! However, the enemy soldiers are one man and one horse. It should take some time to launch a surprise attack."
All launched a raid?
The enemy really saw through my intentions!
If it were her, she would definitely launch an attack before the enemy reinforcements arrived!
Jiayao thought silently for a while, then asked Guge, "Can Lord Budu and the others arrive this afternoon?"
"Can!"
Gu Ge said with certainty: "Lord Budu is already speeding up his march! Lord Budu guarantees with his life that he will be able to lead his troops to arrive at noon today!"
The reason we failed to arrive in time yesterday was because there was not enough fodder, which resulted in many horses being hungry.
Today, Bu Du is sure to arrive with his troops.
After hearing what Guge said, Jia Yao felt a little relieved.
My mentor is not the kind of person who speaks without thinking. Since he has guaranteed it with his life, he can definitely do it.
This is neither good nor bad news!
Although they arrived in time, the people from the Mongols and Zhenhe tribes had traveled a long way and must be very tired.
But they didn't have much time to give the two teams some rest.
The combat effectiveness of the two groups of people will probably be greatly reduced.
"Immediately order people to stew all the cattle and sheep that were killed yesterday!"
Jia Yao said in a deep voice: "Also, feed the horses of the 20,000 men, and ensure that they can immediately go into battle upon arrival! In addition, send more spies, not only to explore the enemy's frontal forces, but also to explore the enemy's wings!"
Jia Yao gave the order quickly and became nervous.
Maybe today will be the decisive battle between them and the Northern Army!
Although she had made preparations for both scenarios, this battle was still crucial.
She was prepared to lose.
But she wants to win too!
Even if we win just one battle, it can greatly boost the morale of the Beihuan soldiers!
Guge did not dare to delay and immediately went down to do what Jiayao had asked him to do.
Jia Yao's heart was beating "thump, thump" non-stop and his expression was extremely serious.
She knew that this was a sign of guilt.
But she couldn't let anyone see that she was guilty.
If she doesn't have confidence, how can she expect the soldiers below to have confidence?
After taking a deep breath, Jia Yao quickly walked out of the tent.
As Guge passed on Jia Yao's order, the atmosphere in the camp suddenly became tense.
An atmosphere of an impending war spread.
In the past, this kind of atmosphere was always exciting.
But now, Jia Yao only felt extremely depressed.
The depressing atmosphere made Jia Yao almost scream, but she held it back in the end and tried to appear calm.
Jia Yao rode his warhorse, stopped Morigen and his men from following, and quickly rode out of the camp.
When they arrived outside the deserted camp, Jia Yao finally let out a long breath.
The atmosphere in the camp is so depressing!
There was no smile on the faces of any Beihuan soldier.
It felt like everyone saw death coming.
No one is really not afraid of death.
No matter how brave the Beihuan men are, they are still flesh and blood after all.
After a series of defeats, their energy and spirit have been completely destroyed!
This kind of atmosphere can be a good thing or a bad thing.
If everyone faces this battle with the intention of dying, then even if they are defeated, the enemy will definitely not have an easy time!
But if this atmosphere backfires, their military morale will easily collapse.
If the enemy launches a frontal charge, they will be routed!
Now, she must calm down and turn unfavorable factors into favorable ones.
Jia Yao jumped off the horse, untied the whip from his waist, and suddenly exerted force with his hands.
“Pah, pah…”
Jia Yao whipped the ground with one whip after another, each whip more powerful than the last.
It was as if Yun Zheng was lying on the ground and being beaten by her.
After being whipped dozens of times in a row, Jia Yao finally vented the anger in his heart.
Jia Yao stood there, gasping for breath.
After venting, Jia Yao gradually began to calm down.
After taking a deep breath, Jia Yao climbed back on his horse, quickly returned to the camp, and began to think calmly again.
Soon, Gu Ge ran in with an excited look on his face.
"Princess, the reinforcements led by Lord Budu will arrive within an hour!"
"Great! Tell everyone the good news! The meat is ready, and we are going to reward all the warriors today!"
"yes!"
Gu Ge left excitedly.
After such a long time, there is finally good news.
As the Guge sent people to spread the news that reinforcements would soon arrive and Jia Yao intended to reward the entire army, the depressing atmosphere in the camp eased a lot.
However, Jia Yao did not relax. She continued to send people to investigate the enemy's movements.
From time to time, spies came back to report that the enemy's large forces were pressing forward.
But because the enemy soldiers each had one man on one horse, their advance speed was not very fast.
According to the enemy's current marching speed, they will be here around 3 p.m.
"Princess, should we send someone to harass them?"
Mo Rigen frowned and asked, "Lord Budu's reinforcements haven't arrived yet, we..."
"Need not!"
Jia Yao shook his head and said, "The enemy army has all pressed forward. It would be meaningless for us to harass them. Instead, it would only waste our troops in vain."
Mo Rigen thought about it and nodded slightly.
As he was thinking, Morigen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in surprise: "Princess, the enemy army is coming all the way, we can send out a group of elite cavalry to burn their food and grass!"
Morigen finally set his sights on food and fodder.
Jia Yao's heart moved.
However, Jia Yao quickly dismissed this idea in his mind.
Now the enemy is so close to them!
What's the point of burning the enemy's food supplies now?
If they dare to send a large force to burn the enemy's food supplies, the enemy will quickly launch a frontal assault.
At this point in the battle, we have to return to the front battlefield...
