"Young Marshal, it's getting cold, have some mutton!"
After nearly half a year, Budugen's reserves of supplies have been running low.
They besieged Yanmen for a long time, but with little effect, and their own strength continued to decline.
Although the damage to Yanmen New Pass was increasing, they hadn't even managed to breach the inner fortified city. Not only was the morale of their army declining, but their supplies were also running out.
"Qifu Tulu, thank you. How much food do we have left, and how long can it last?"
Qifu Tulu sighed helplessly, "Young Marshal, if Mohuba hadn't been transferred to the rear army to manage the grain and supplies and to restrict the food for our army, we probably would have run out of food long ago."
Now, all we have left are three thousand cattle, five thousand sheep, and not much grain or food. Our population of over three hundred thousand... will probably run out of food in just one month.”
Budugen frowned slightly. "That's impossible... Could it be?"
"At the current rate of consumption, it's impossible to finish it so quickly. But young marshal, it's already winter, and the lads can't keep eating as much as they used to."
If we cannot distribute adequate provisions, it will likely only incite discontent among the soldiers, and thus...lead to a mutiny!
Budugen smiled helplessly. Was his ability to manage troops really that bad?
It was at this moment that he began to recall the past.
In the past, his elder brother would plan and scheme for everything for him.
But after Zhao Hao appeared, all of this vanished as if it were an illusion.
Bang!
"Damn it...! With the snow falling heavily, the siege will become even more difficult. What should we do?!"
Seeing Budugen, his brother-in-law, in such a predicament, Qifu Tulu was helpless.
The Han people were good at defending cities. Although they had learned some military strategy and techniques for attacking cities, it was still too difficult for the grandson to defeat the grandfather.
Rumble rumble...
However, they hadn't even had a sip of hot soup or a bite of mutton.
An unusual tremor came from all directions.
"The valiant Qin!"
"Let us face this national crisis together!"
"Don't let the blood run dry!"
"Fight to the death!!"
"Strong wind! Strong wind! Strong wind!"
More than 30,000 cavalrymen continuously charged the rear of the Xianbei army.
Meanwhile, at Yanmen Pass, a troop of elite riders, all on white horses, arrived!
"Which of you is a relative of Zhao Zhenbei, the garrison commander of Yanmen Pass? I am Gongsun Zan, the Valiant Colonel of Youzhou, and I request an audience!"
Zhao Feng and his group were taken aback upon hearing this. They had just noticed the commotion at the Xianbei army's location and wanted to find out what had happened.
But this cavalry force, clearly equipped with Han military gear, appeared like a whirlwind and arrived at Yanmen Pass.
"Youzhou... I am Zhao Feng, Zhao Zihu, the Yanmen garrison commander personally appointed by Zhao Zhenbei. May I ask, why are soldiers from Youzhou here in my Bingzhou?"
"Oh, General Zhao, do you recognize this?"
Gongsun Zan raised Zhao Hao's Longquan sword, which had almost become a mascot, high above his head.
Zhao Feng raised an eyebrow. "The general's sword! Open the door quickly and let the brothers in!"
Gongsun Zan shook his head repeatedly after hearing Zhao Feng's words.
"Brother Zhao, you've misunderstood. I'm not going to enter the pass! My White Horse Cavalry are also heroes who hang their eggs and are good sons who kill foreign tribes! I've come here today on the orders of Zhao Zhenbei, to command the generals of Yanmen to send troops to besiege the last Xianbei army!"
Brother Zhao, this is your last stop. Zan has finished relaying the message. Next, Zan is off to claim some credit. Farewell!
"Where righteousness leads!"
"I'll follow you to the death!"
"Heaven is my witness!"
"A white horse is my witness!"
In an instant, the White Horse Army surged forward like lightning, rushing towards the Xianbei army.
They were not like the cavalry under Zhao Hao's command, capable of charging into the enemy army with the ferocity of tigers descending a mountain, disregarding their own lives.
They are better at horseback archery and kite flying!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Countless arrows rained down on the Xianbei camp, leaving them bewildered by the sudden onslaught from all sides.
"Do you all know the name Nanba?"
"Hmph, I, Li Wenzhong, will never fall behind!"
"Haha, strategist, rest assured, with Deng and Zhang Hao protecting you, we can move freely even amidst a vast army!"
The light cavalry continued to reap the heads of the Xianbei soldiers. They all knew very well that after this battle, it would be difficult to encounter another battle where they could fight so fiercely.
In that case, how could we not seize the opportunity to try and gain as much credit as possible?
"Young Master... Young Master has returned!"
"Brother! We must immediately muster our troops and come to our aid!"
Zhao Feng nodded vigorously, "Zilong, from now on, you may address me as Young Master or General/Lord. Remember not to refer to me as your cousin. Alright, you and your brothers Meng Ben and Zhang Tang, take your troops and head out of the pass to support Young Master's actions."
Mr. Wei, I'd appreciate it if you and Feng could continue to oversee this pass until everything is settled. Then we'll host a welcome-back dinner for everyone!
Wei Liao smiled and nodded, "That's right!"
...
In other regions, upon receiving Gongsun Zan's notification, troops were dispatched without hesitation to respond.
Whether it's the women's army or the troops stationed in various places, they all know this.
The moment Zhao Hao made his move, these barbarians were gone forever!
"Chengdu, lay down your armor for me!"
"Hahaha! Very well, your subordinate will accompany you, young master, on a wild adventure today!"
The heavy armor greatly hindered the use of weapons.
Without hesitation, Zhao Hao chose to remove his armor and fight with unrestrained ferocity!
Yuwen Chengdu, seeing his son's bravery, naturally wanted to follow suit!
