The northern border of Dashang.
The smoke spreads thousands of miles.
With Baidi City as the boundary, Dashang's northern border and hinterland were directly separated, and wars continued.
Winter is approaching, and the weather in Mobei is getting colder and colder. The Mobei people in the far north have to start moving south.
Along the way, although there were Mobei cavalry escorts, most of the troops of the eight Mobei tribes had been engaged in the war, and they were unable to do anything.
Li Ziye led the 10,000 Rakshasa Army and the Donglin Army's cavalry to severely inflict heavy losses on the Mobei cavalry escorting them along the way and rob them of resources, with the purpose of forcing the Mobei army to return for reinforcements.
War is about using every possible means to consume each other. All order and rules will gradually collapse in the war.
The people of the two dynasties were no longer innocent because of their positions.
Baidi City.
Information about the attack on the people of Mobei by the Great Shang's cavalry arrived. After reading it, Tantai Jingyue frowned slightly.
Buyi Hou!
This gift is really important.
It is really difficult to deal with so many old, weak, women and children.
The Buyi Hou left them behind, no doubt to hold back Mobei's troops.
In addition, there is food.
After all, the food in the army is limited, and it is impossible to use all of it to help those women and children.
However, if it is not saved, there will be a lot of trouble.
We must think of a way.
Nowadays, it is urgent to move south. In the future, more and more people will move south. This will undoubtedly become a flaw in the eight tribes of Mobei.
This incident is just the beginning.
"Someone is coming."
Thinking of this, Tantai Jingyue turned around and said.
"Goddess."
A soldier from the Tantai tribe came quickly and saluted respectfully.
"Send five thousand cavalry to guide the eight tribes who are migrating south and take them back to Baidi City." Tantai Jingyue said calmly.
When the soldiers heard this, they looked startled.
Five thousand riders?
Is it a little less?
"Go ahead."
Tantai Jingyue said calmly, "Go early and come back early."
"yes!"
The soldiers took the order, turned around and retreated.
In front of the window, Tantai Jingyue stared at the north, without a trace of waves in her eyes.
In special times, the overall situation must be taken first, and they can only be sacrificed.
Whether they live or die, it all depends on their fate.
"drive!"
An hour later, five thousand Mobei cavalry left Baidi City and headed to the northern border to pick up the people of the eight tribes.
"Goddess."
On Baidi City, Tantai Zhen looked at the two thousand cavalry going away and said in confusion, "With only five thousand people, I'm afraid they can't stop Dashang's ten thousand cavalry."
"I know."
Tantai Jingyue said calmly, "However, five thousand people is not a lot. If you were the commoner prince of Dashang, would you want to eat them in one bite?"
When Tantai Zhen heard this, his expression was shocked and he said in disbelief, "Did the goddess use them as bait?"
"They only need to hold back Dashang's 10,000 cavalry, that's enough."
Tantai Jingyue said with a cold expression, "Tantai Zhen, I will give you another 20,000 people. Leave after dark. Once the fish bites the hook, the net will be closed immediately."
"yes!"
Tantai really came to his senses and respectfully accepted the order.
"Goddess."
After accepting the order, Tantai Zhen hesitated for a moment and asked, "What should we do about those old, weak, women and children?"
"It's none of your business."
Tantai Jingyue stared into the distance and said with an indifferent expression, "This is obviously a trap and a bit troublesome. You don't have to worry about it for now. Kill Dashang's 10,000 cavalry as soon as possible, otherwise, there will be endless troubles."
"My subordinate understands."
Tantai really responded, turned around and left without any further delay.
At night, 20,000 Mobei iron cavalry came out of Baidi City, with Tantai Zhen as the commander, and went to encircle and suppress the 10,000 cavalry of Dashang heading north.
The northern border of Dashang.
Under the night, the women and children of the eight tribes in Mobei continued to walk southward slowly and helplessly. The rations for two days were not much, and even if they saved on food, they would not be able to survive for a few more days.
far away.
In front of ten thousand merchants' cavalry, Li Ziye stood quietly, staring at the old, weak, women and children heading south, his eyes slightly narrowed.
These people are a big burden to the Mobei Eight Tribes. However, if left alone, the Mobei Eight Tribes themselves will also have discordant voices.
There are so many women, children or elderly people who must have sons or husbands serving in the military. If they are not rescued, how can they appease the morale of the military.
"Master Hou."
From behind, Lieutenant General Luo Xiao stepped forward and said, "Should we follow them?"
"No need yet."
Li Ziye shook his head and said, "Wait and see."
"Master Marquis, my subordinates don't understand why military experts are allowed to pretend to be patients and mix among those women and children?" Luo Xiao looked at the old and weak women and children walking away, puzzled.
"It's very simple. Although the Eight Tribes of Mobei captured the entire northern territory, most of the cities have been destroyed, there is no one to garrison them, and there are not many places with food."
Li Ziye said calmly, "If we burn their food, they must go to a place with food. Now, the closest place with the most food is Baidi City."
When Luo Xiao heard this, he seemed to understand something. He quickly came back to his senses and continued to ask, "Master Marquis, will the Eight Tribes of Mobei ignore these people?"
"Guan will definitely take care of it, but to what extent it can be done depends on their leader." Li Ziye replied.
With two days of rations, if you save some food, you should be able to barely make it to Baidi City.
Next, it depends on how Tantai Jingyue handles it.
The night was charming, and in the wilderness, five thousand Mobei cavalry rushed past, going to pick up the people of the Eight Tribes.
Five thousand iron cavalry, more or less, used as bait, is indeed very attractive.
Dawn is approaching.
Five thousand cavalrymen who traveled day and night finally arrived at the place where the people of Mobei were.
The women and children in Mobei were overjoyed when they saw someone coming to save them.
"Master Marquis, the spies have come to report that there are about five thousand soldiers from Mobei who came to pick up those women and children."
At this moment, thirty miles away.
In front of the Dashang military camp, Luo Xiao walked quickly and reported.
"Five thousand?"
When Li Ziye heard this, a strange color flashed in his eyes.
"Master Hou, do you want to be beaten?" Luo Xiao asked.
"Do not hit."
Li Ziye shook his head and said, "It's bait."
Five thousand cavalry are too many. If they fight, they will definitely be delayed. If there is a scam, it will be difficult to escape in time.
On the wasteland.
Dawn comes.
The morning sun falls, dispelling the coldness of the night.
With the support of five thousand Mobei cavalry, the old and weak women and children of the eight tribes in Mobei could finally breathe a sigh of relief and continue their march south.
To the north, ten thousand merchant cavalry stood still and did not bite the hook.
To the south, the 20,000 Mobei cavalry led by Tantai Zhen looked at each other from a distance and did not act in a hurry.
The leaders of both armies were waiting for the other side to make a move first and strike later.
"Master Hou, we found it."
At noon, Luo Xiao walked over quickly and said in a deep voice, "Fifty miles away, there are 20,000 Mobei Iron Cavalry."
"Let's go."
Hearing this, Li Ziye got on his horse and said, "Go east."
"yes!"
Luo Xiao took the order and followed on horseback.
Half an hour later.
In front of the 20,000 Mobei cavalry, a scout arrived on horseback and reported back, "The Great Shang cavalry are about fifty miles away in the northwest."
"Chase!"
Tantai heard the spies' report and immediately ordered the chase.
next moment.
The hooves of the horses rumbled, and the 20,000 Mobei cavalry rushed towards the northwest like a torrent of iron water.
The two armies faced each other in a battle of wits and courage, 20,000 versus 10,000. The Eight Tribes of Mobei could afford the bet, but Dashang could not.
One wrong step and you will be doomed.
