In the next few days, Yun Zheng led his troops to launch a crazy raid on the enemy's rear.
They still followed the rules of engagement from when they were in Beihuan.
Except for the elderly and children who are no taller than the horse's legs, all will be killed!
Whenever they encountered flocks of enemy sheep and cattle, they would kill them without hesitation.
Almost all of the enemy's forces were transferred to the front line, leaving the rear extremely empty.
Some cities didn't even have 500 garrisons.
Many cities are not cities in the full sense of the word, they can basically only be considered as settlements.
The most exaggerated thing is that the Eighteen Ghost Riders captured a city with only more than a dozen people and opened the city gate to allow their army to enter.
The 10,000-strong army was like a swarm of locusts, causing a river of blood to flow behind the enemy lines.
In the end, Yun Zheng simply divided the more than 10,000 troops into three routes and launched surprise attacks separately.
...
...
Yun Zheng’s requirements for them were very simple. If they encountered a city that was easy to attack, they should attack it. If they encountered a big city, they should just bypass it. Anyway, the enemy’s rear was empty and they would not dare to come out of the city to fight.
Every city they captured would leave large blood-red words on the city walls.
Anyone who commits a serious offense against me will be punished, no matter how far away they are!
In addition, Yun Zheng also had someone spread the word that they had an army of 100,000.
After seven days of raids, Yun Zheng ordered all troops to move closer to him.
After the armies reunited, everyone gained a lot.
Some people robbed a lot of gold, silver and treasures, some people hung weapons and armor on their horses, and some people even hung whole live sheep on their horses. Yun Zheng was afraid that they would tire the horses to death.
Qin Qihu and Lu Xing also drove a large herd of yaks and sheep to join them.
According to a rough estimate, there are at least five to six thousand.
"Where did you get all these animals?"
Yun Zheng looked at Qin Qihu in astonishment as his face was filled with excitement.
Qin Qihu grinned, "There is a grassland about seventy miles to the east! My dear brother, you don't know that when those herders saw us, they were all dumbfounded, haha..."
Qin Qihu excitedly told Yun Zheng about their "feat", still feeling a little unsatisfied.
It seems that he hasn't killed enough.
"Let's go, it's time for us to retreat!"
Yun Zheng smiled, "We have been killing for so many days, I guess the news should have reached the frontier troops of the various tribes in Moxi! Winter is coming soon, we should all clean up the mess!"
To be exact, winter has already begun.
Even the tribes in the western part of the desert are starting to feel a little chilly, and northern Shuo is expected to soon welcome the first snow of the year.
The rest will be left to the Ghost Eighteen Riders!
…
Funiushan Mountain is located in Daganliaozhou.
When the armies of the western desert tribes came over, Zhao Ji chose to retreat actively, hoping to let the armies of the western desert tribes in to fight.
However, the tribes in western Mo did not fall for it, but instead tricked Zhao Ji.
Their main force was deployed around Funiu Mountain and confronted the army led by Zhao Ji.
However, their other army quietly entered Jiaolu.
As long as they could contain the army led by Zhao Ji on the front, the other army would be able to quickly break through Jiaolu and attack into Dagan.
If Zhao Ji sent troops to support them, they would attack head-on.
If Zhao Ji chose to continue the confrontation, their other army would continue the attack.
The commander-in-chief of this 500,000-strong army was the leader of the Western Qiang, Sangjie, and the main attacking force was led by the famous general of Hun Gu, Jia Siba.
Today, there are not many resistance forces left in Jiao Lu.
Da Gan also lost two games in a row to them.
Although Dagan had regained a city and won a victory a few days ago, it did not cause any damage to Jia Siba's army.
Jia Siba has changed his offensive strategy and believes that Dagan's troops will be defeated soon.
Seeing that the cold winter was about to arrive, Sanjay actually didn't want to fight anymore.
But they must continue to fight.
Only if they pose enough threat to Dagan will Dagan agree to cede Liaozhou and Liangzhou!
Their real purpose is to force Daigan to seek peace.
Sanjay climbed to a high place and looked into the distance.
From a distance they could see the Da Gan army array confronting them.
"This Zhao Ji is a tough opponent."
Looking at the enemy's formation, Sangjie couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Zhao Ji's defense was impenetrable.
Even though the military strength of the tribes in western Mo is far superior to that of Zhao Ji, let alone breaking through the defense line behind Zhao Ji, they would suffer heavy losses just trying to break through this line of defense.
Previously, they had lost more than 5,000 troops just in launching a tentative attack.
These days, Sangjie has been deploying his troops, hoping that Zhao Ji would reveal a flaw when he changed his defensive strategy.
Unfortunately, Zhao Ji didn't reveal any major flaws.
The flaws revealed a few days ago were only revealed to them intentionally in order to attract them to take the initiative to attack.
It seems that it is impossible to defeat the enemy from the front in a short period of time.
It depends on whether the great emperor will withdraw troops from here to defend their other army!
Just as Sangjie was thinking secretly, a soldier came running over.
Looking at the soldiers running towards him, Sangjie's eyes suddenly showed anticipation.
I hope it’s news that Jia Siba defeated another large army of Da Gan!
As long as Da Gan's other army is defeated, Da Gan should ask for peace!
At that time, no matter how good Zhao Ji is at defending, it will be meaningless!
Under Sangjie's expectant gaze, the soldier hurried over and said, "My lord, there is an urgent report from the rear!"
Urgent report from the rear?
Sanjay frowned instantly.
What urgent news can we get from the rear?
Full of doubts, Sanjay hurriedly opened the letter.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Sanjie's chest suddenly heaved violently and he almost vomited blood.
The Northern Army had captured Qiuchi. King Jingbei Yunzheng personally led a large army out of Qiuchi and raided the rear of Hun Valley.
Within a few days, six cities were attacked!
On every city, there is a sign written in the blood of the people of Hun Gu: Anyone who commits a serious crime against us will be punished, no matter how far away they are!
The land of Hun Gu was littered with corpses and rivers of blood!
The Northern Army robbed whatever they could and burned whatever they couldn't.
Many cities have turned into a sea of fire.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Sanjie's hands couldn't help shaking.
Northern Army!
King Jingbei!
The prince who is known to be the most capable fighter!
The three-foot-long sword shakes the world, and a white horse leads to the northern border!
Now, the three-foot green sword in Yun Zheng's hand slashed towards them!
what to do?
What to do now?
Now, the situation ahead of them is very good!
He is really unwilling to withdraw his troops now!
But if he doesn't withdraw his troops, Yun Zheng will probably not just burn, kill and loot in Hun Gu!
He knew only too well how empty their rear was.
The Northern Army is said to have an army of 100,000!
Not to mention an army of one hundred thousand, even an army of ten or twenty thousand could run rampant behind them.
Or, send troops to provide support?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Sanjay's mind.
It goes without saying that if Jia Siba received the news, he would definitely lead his troops to retreat.
Once Jia Siba retreats, there will be no point in them confronting Da Gan here.
Unless, we can hide this news from Jia Siba!
But is this possible?
There was a river of blood in Hun Gu. Hun Gu must have sent someone to inform Jia Siba!
Even if he wanted to stop it, he couldn't.
They are retreating now and the enemy dare not pursue them.
If Zhao Ji received the news that Yun Zheng had entered Hun Valley, it would probably not be the case.
Once they are attacked from both sides by Yun Zheng and Zhao Ji, their 500,000-strong army will be in danger!
withdraw!
We can only retreat!
Sangjie was extremely unwilling and angrily tore the letter in his hand into pieces.
"Yun Zheng!!!"
Sanjie's eyes were instantly filled with bloodshot, and his face was hideous...
