Raids, constant raids!
Yun Zheng and his men set out overnight and launched continuous raids on the enemy's royal court.
Since Jia Yao had already relocated all the nearby tribes in advance, they encountered no resistance at all.
But again, they didn't get any supplies.
Although Yun Zheng also adopted Budu's previous marching method, dividing the army into two and letting the front army collect fodder for the rear army while grazing horses, the speed of their raid was still much slower than the normal speed.
The only thing to be thankful for was that Yun Zheng had asked people to prepare a lot of dry food, so their people still had enough dry food to eat.
Otherwise, they would have starved to death before they even reached the royal court.
Jia Yao's move really made Yun Zheng feel helpless.
However, Yun Zheng also found a way to disgust Jia Yao.
They raided all the way here, and whenever they saw green seedlings growing in the land of Beihuan, they would ride their horses to eat them.
...
...
These tribes can move away.
But after migrating back, don't expect to be able to harvest the food in the fields.
He wants to make Beihuan even more food-scarce!
He wanted to see how long Beihuan could survive when winter came!
Just as Yun Zheng continued to lead his troops to raid the royal court, the scout returned to report: "Your Majesty, we found a Beihuan tribe ahead. All the supplies of the tribe were burned, and there were many corpses of cattle and sheep..."
“Go and have a look!”
Without hesitation, Yun Zheng led his troops to the tribe mentioned by the scout.
Soon, they discovered the tribe.
At this moment, the gathering place of this tribe was already in a mess.
Even the tent was burned!
There were still many carcasses of cattle and sheep on the ground, but most of them were incomplete.
The meatiest parts were all taken away.
Only some parts with less meat and the internal organs that had begun to rot were left.
"It seems that Beihuan is not short of food!"
Miaoyin curled her lips and snorted, "So much meat is wasted! Wouldn't it be better to give this meat to the old and weak?"
Although all the meat was taken away, there was still a lot of meat left.
However, the meat should have gone bad by now.
This is really a waste.
“This should be the tribe that has not moved away before.”
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "They can't migrate quickly with their cattle, sheep and baggage. Instead of doing that, we might as well kill all the cattle and sheep and take away as much meat as possible! Although a lot of meat will be wasted, at least it won't be left for us."
It’s not that Beihuan doesn’t want to take all the meat away.
I guess it was because they evacuated in a hurry and there was no time to slowly pick the meat.
I have to say, this move is really cruel.
But at the same time, it is also necessary.
It would be a waste if we didn't leave it to them.
The goal is to deprive them of supplies in order to slow down their assault speed.
However, the enemy probably did not expect that they would have so much dry food.
After he learned that Guifang had sent troops to help Beihuan, he ordered his people to prepare a large amount of dry food. Now, the dry food finally came in handy.
Beihuan's move is actually tantamount to killing the goose that lays the eggs.
Now, I'm afraid it's hard to see much impact.
When the cold winter comes, they will know how great the impact of doing so is!
Even after fighting to this point, Bei Huan is still using this method to fight them.
I don’t know what’s going on in Jiayao’s mind.
When the cold winter comes and people starve to death on a large scale, Jia Yao will start to cry!
With a strong resentment towards Jia Yao, Yun Zheng ordered his men to continue the raid and stay away from the rotting corpses here to avoid being infected with plague or something like that.
They had never encountered the Beihuan tribe before.
The sudden encounter with a tribe now means that they should be not far from the royal court of Beihuan.
…
The Northern Huan royal court.
At this moment, the Beihuan royal court was already in a mess.
The people in the royal court have been evacuated urgently.
However, those baggage were destined not to be taken away.
If they take these baggage with them, they will be wiped out by the pursuers!
The 10,000-strong army led by Jia Yao and Bu Du were the last group to evacuate.
Jia Yao didn't want to evacuate.
If they continue to retreat like this, Beihuan will pay too high a price.
By winter, no one knows how many people will starve to death in Beihuan.
It is unknown how many years it will take for Beihuan to recover.
Even Beihuan was completely destroyed before it could recover.
"Princess, stop looking!"
Budu looked at Jiayao with a complicated expression, "The enemy can't stay here forever! We can come back after the enemy retreats!"
Jia Yao buried his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, Jia Yao slowly raised his head, with a look of determination on his face, "Master, let's have a decisive battle with the enemy here! If we lose, we will surrender!"
"Princess, we have no chance of winning!"
Budu quickly suppressed Jiayao's thoughts, "If we fight the pursuers now, all those who covered our retreat before will have died in vain!"
How can these ten thousand people fight a decisive battle with the enemy now?
Their scouts have already found out that the enemy force is estimated to be around 10,000 people.
They were just 10,000 soldiers with incomplete armor and low morale.
Unless Heasu's troops are transferred back, there will be a chance to fight a decisive battle with the enemy here.
Jia Yao gritted his teeth and said, "We can use these tents and use fire attacks just like Yun Zheng did the second time he ambushed us in the Riftwind Canyon..."
As Jia Yao was speaking, an eagle's cry suddenly sounded in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a white falcon swooped towards Jia Yao.
When seeing the white falcon, Jia Yao suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Soon, the white falcon landed.
Jia Yao hurriedly took the note off Bai Falcon's leg.
Looking at the contents of the note, Jia Yao's face showed deep despair.
"Heasu and the others...were defeated?"
Everyone's face changed drastically.
“I didn’t lose, but it was almost like losing.”
Jia Yao's face was full of bitterness.
The enemy had been pretending to retreat, but in fact they were learning from Yun Zheng's previous method of breaking out at the edge of the hill. They kept sending out small groups of troops to lurk behind them. When they pressed forward, the enemy concentrated their lurking elite forces to raid the Guifang's rear camp and burned the Guifang's food and grass in one fell swoop.
Listening to Jia Yao's words, Budu's face showed endless despair.
It’s over!
The Guifang’s food supplies were burned!
The retreat of the Guifang has become inevitable!
Once the Guifang retreats, the hope of Heasu's troops defeating the enemy will be very slim!
Yes!
They didn't lose!
But it's almost like losing.
"Let Heasu's troops retreat!"
Bu Du said dejectedly: "Please keep the last combat-capable soldiers for Bei Huan!"
Heasu's troops are almost the last elite troops of Beihuan!
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
These people must not be buried in vain again.
"It's time to retreat."
The fighting spirit that Jia Yao had finally ignited quickly dissipated, "It's time for us to retreat..."
"Um."
Budu was in despair and gritted his teeth and said, "I'll order people to burn down the tents around the royal court! Even if we burn down the royal court, we can't just watch the enemy army..."
"No."
Jia Yao interrupted Bu Du's words, with a sad look on his face, "It has come to this, there is no need to be so ruthless, leave us a way out..."
They all paused for a long time without saying a word...
