This night, although there was a fire to keep warm, it was not too pleasant.
The next day, more than 300 patients appeared in their team, and more than 100 people suffered from frostbite. If they did not return to the city for treatment in time, those with frostbitten hands and feet would likely face amputation.
They raided all the way, but there were not so many wounded.
Unexpectedly, after just one night in the wild, nearly 500 people were lost.
Moreover, this is even when there is a fire.
Without a fire, the number of people sick and frostbitten would have increased many times over.
Faced with such a result, Qin Qihu and Yun Zheng were helpless.
This also strengthened their determination to return to Shuofang as soon as possible.
After explaining some things to Qin Qihu, Yunzheng and Miaoyin once again led two thousand people to the rear.
At noon, they received news from their scouts that there were Beihuan's cavalry behind them and on their right wing. Both groups of cavalry were only thirty or forty miles away from them.
Moreover, these two groups of cavalry should be Beihuan's ten thousand troops.
However, these two groups of cavalry did not make a surprise attack, but were approaching them at a normal marching speed.
After receiving the news brought back by the scouts, Yun Zheng couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
Now, their left wing is the guard side.
There were ten thousand cavalry in the rear and on the right flank.
This is obviously to drive them to the opposite side of Split Wind Canyon!
Damn it!
Did the enemy army set a trap for them across the Riftwind Canyon?
"Let's go, quickly meet Brother Qin and the others!"
The more Yunzheng thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he immediately led his troops to march in the direction of the Split Wind Canyon.
Two thousand cavalrymen ran all the way, and finally met up with the group of people escorting the animals and prisoners an hour later.
Just when Yunzheng was about to send someone to give Qin Qihu an order to lead his troops to retreat, a small group of cavalry suddenly appeared in front, galloping towards them.
Looking at the small group of cavalry galloping over, Yun Zheng's heart suddenly sank.
Could it be that Qin Qihu and his thousands of people had fallen into the enemy's trap?
If this is the case, they must abandon these livestock, attack at full speed, and go to support Qin Qihu's troops.
Just when Yunzheng was secretly worried, the group of cavalry had already rushed over.
"Your Highness! Your Highness..."
Still a few hundred meters away, the other party shouted excitedly.
This is……
Feng Yu's voice?
Yunzheng's eyelids suddenly twitched and he immediately galloped out.
"General Feng Yu, please see Your Highness!"
Arriving in front of Yun Zheng, Feng Yu quickly dismounted from his horse and saluted.
It’s really Feng Yu!
Yun Zheng was overjoyed and quickly dismounted and asked, "Why are you here?"
Feng Yu said happily: "The Beihuan garrison opposite the Split Wind Canyon suddenly evacuated yesterday. After the general got the news, he immediately led his troops across the Baishui River and seized the enemy's camp, waiting to meet His Highness..."
Feng Yu and the others camped at the Beihuan garrison's camp last night.
Today, after Qin Qihu led his troops to rush over, he discovered that it was one of his own.
At present, Qin Qihu was leading his troops to retreat and join them to prevent them from being attacked by a large group of Beihuan cavalry.
However, Qin Qihu and the others made a surprise attack all the way to the Split Wind Canyon. The horses' physical strength was greatly exhausted, so they had to retreat a little slower.
Feng Yu was anxious to report the news, so he took the first step with others.
Listening to Feng Yu's words, Yun Zheng couldn't help but be surprised.
The Beihuan garrison opposite the Split Wind Canyon actually retreated?
So, are their right wing and the Beihuan cavalry behind them going to drive them towards the Split Wind Canyon and let them leave Beihuan territory as soon as possible?
Gayao!
It should be Gayao who ordered the defenders there to retreat!
There shouldn't be many defenders there. Jia Yao knew that those defenders couldn't stop them, so he withdrew the defenders in time to avoid causing greater casualties.
sure!
Some courage!
No wonder the Beihuan cavalry behind them are so cowardly!
Ganqing just wanted to drive them out of Beihuan's territory.
very good!
Since Ga Yao is so sensible, it's time for them to leave.
The tribes in Muma Grassland have already migrated, and they can no longer reap any benefits.
It’s time to get back to business!
Yun Zheng felt reassured and asked Feng Yu: "How long did it take for you to run over from the opposite side of Split Wind Canyon?"
Feng Yu replied: "We marched in a hurry for about an hour."
Although it was a rapid march, the horses were not running at full speed all the way.
Just keep marching at a relatively fast pace.
In one hour, I ran twenty kilometers to my death.
In other words, they were still about forty or fifty miles away from meeting the reinforcements.
With these livestock and prisoners, it would probably take midnight to meet up with the reinforcements on the other side of the Riftwind Canyon.
Let's go!
If you stick to it, you will win!
Yun Zheng immediately ordered everyone to continue moving forward, and at the same time still sent out scouts to keep an eye on the movements of the Beihuan cavalry on the right wing and behind.
Don't fucking jump out, and the enemy chases you and bites you, then it's not worth it.
"Your Highness, we have made a fortune this time!"
Looking at the herds of cattle, sheep and war horses, Feng Yu's eyes almost turned green.
"Look at your potential!"
Yun Zheng smiled and scolded: "Are you satisfied with this small harvest? Don't worry, we will only capture more in the future!"
How many cattle and sheep are there!
In his previous life, the young general who died young captured millions of livestock from the Huns!
Compared with that person, their gains can only be regarded as drizzle!
"Uh-huh!"
Feng Yu laughed.
Yun Zheng looked at him with a smile and asked again: "By the way, what are the casualties of our army breaking through the encirclement near Gu?"
"The loss is a bit big."
Feng Yudao: "I heard from Lao Yu that at least six to seven thousand people were killed in the battle, not counting the seriously injured. If all were counted, the loss should be over ten thousand. Lao Yu was also seriously injured, but his life was not in danger... "
Speaking of the situation over there, Feng Yu couldn't help but sigh.
They have won many battles with Yunzheng.
Each time, the enemy was severely damaged with minimal casualties.
Even if the breakout battle in Gubian was a complete victory, he would not be happy.
When Yun Zheng heard this, he also sighed.
There is no way. In that case, if you want to break through, you must attack head-on.
This casualty is indeed a bit high.
damn it!
Go back and settle the score with that bitch Wei Wenzhong!
Yun Zheng felt furious in his heart and asked again: "What are the casualties of Yu Shizhong and his group of one thousand people?"
"It's tragic."
Feng Yu said: "He came back in a hurry to report the news, and did not carefully count the casualties, but at least half of them were damaged..."
Listening to Feng Yu's words, Yun Zheng couldn't help but feel a sharp twitch in his heart.
He was mentally prepared in this way when he sent the thousand people out.
After all, Yu Shizhong and the others only have a thousand people.
If a thousand cavalry charge into the battle, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
However, he was still a little distressed when he actually got this result.
"It's all the fault of the traitor Wei Wenzhong!"
Yun Zheng was so angry that he wanted to cut Wei Wenzhong into pieces.
If it hadn't been for that piece of shit Wei Wenzhong, there would have been so many casualties.
So, our own people are sometimes more terrifying than our enemies!
An hour after dark, the cavalry led by Qin Qihu finally joined them.
After the two sides met, Yun Zheng became more confident.
Even if the Beihuan cavalry came to kill them at this time, they would not be afraid anymore.
However, until they were exhausted and joined the reinforcements, the Beihuan cavalry did not come over.
After the two sides met, although many people fell ill again, as long as they could return to Shuofang for treatment in time, they should be fine.
It wasn't until this moment that Yun Zheng completely relaxed.
Damn it, if you can avoid fighting in winter in the future, try not to fight in winter!
Especially in this situation without logistical supplies.
Non-combat attrition is really terrible!
This was much crueler than he imagined...
