Chapter 758 The desire to win in defeat
??The roads facing Zhao Yun to the Yulin Camp were one that was originally taken with Yuvluo''s large army, and the other was the road in the Tuwei Valley.
?Zhao Yun thought for a while and decided to take the original road.
One is because although the Tuwei River Valley can be walked, it is not a conventional road after all. The silt and unsmoothed stones on both sides of the river valley are potential risks. There is another, more important factor. After leaving the Tuwei River Valley, it is difficult to go to the Tuwei River Valley. How to go is another question...
?Therefore, it is better to take a road that you have walked on before than to take an unfamiliar road. Although you may not be familiar with it, at least you have something in mind.
Not only that, Zhao Yun even asked the scouts to expand the detection range southward to fifty miles.
Special treatment for special circumstances. Previously, I was following Huvroud''s large army. If I wanted to ambush a force of ten thousand cavalry, one or two thousand would be of little use. However, if the number is large, the smoke and dust that covers the sky would be difficult to cover up. It is very easy to be discovered, so in the past few days, the Hu people were dispersed in small groups of hundreds and thousands of troops, just harassing them on the left and right. As for large-scale ambushes...
Under such terrain conditions, it would be easier to switch to a surprise attack.
As for Zhao Yun''s thousand-man cavalry returning to the Yulin camp, on the one hand, there are valleys on one side of the return road, making it easier to hide people, and on the other hand, there are relatively few people, even if the enemy is hit by hundreds. A human ambush is not enough even if he is not defeated, so Zhao Yun, who is more cautious by nature, would rather let the scouts work harder and change horses frequently than take the risk of being ambushed.
?However, the benefits of setting the scout farther are obvious. Zhao Yun''s scout quickly discovered the traces left by the Hu Qi who had originally detoured from the Tuwei Valley.
This is an unnamed riverbed. It was originally part of the Tuwei River. The valleys on both sides are steep and normally inaccessible. However, this is a seasonal river. There is water in late spring and early summer, and then in autumn and winter. The flow has stopped, and it is only the beginning of spring, and the ice and snow have not yet melted, so there is not much water in this valley, so it is still passable for the time being.
It seems that the Hu people circled from the Tuwei River to the Yuanyin area on the other side of the mountain, and then circled back through this unnamed valley, so now...
**********************
Although Zada ??Sheng tried his best to show himself calm, his face was still a little blue, and the strong smell of blood still lingered in his mouth, as if he was holding a rusty piece of food in his mouth. of iron.
When we set out from Meiji, we were full of ambitions, but now our troops are defeated and we are in dire straits. Although they tried their best to gather the troops at dawn, there were still many tribesmen who didn''t know where they had gone, and they didn''t dare to stay in one place for a long time, fearing that the troops from Yulin Camp would send pursuers, so they hurriedly organized themselves and set off. .
?More than 5,000 people came happily, and now only 1,450 people left in despair. How could such a contrast not make people heartbroken...
??Before coming this time, the He clan members promised to beat their chests, saying that they would be fine if they defeated the combined army of Yuvluo and the Han people. But now they have been slapped in the face and it hurts.
Facing is not the most critical issue. The most serious issue at the moment is how much trust and support the tribe can have for Zha Tian Sheng...
?Zha Tiansheng''s eyes narrowed and he glanced secretly to the left and right. He found that there seemed to be some tribesmen gathering together behind him, muttering something in a low voice.
Are you speaking ill of me?
Or are you planning to plot to overthrow me?
?Going to find Xianbei and asking for Xianbei’s support is definitely not a good road to follow. The Xianbei people are not good people, so how can they agree casually? If things go wrong, there is a possibility of being swallowed directly by the Xianbei people...
What''s more, the young and strong tribesmen have lost so many. Let alone how they will survive this winter, can such an instantly weakened combat effectiveness be guaranteed not to be spied by other tribes?
Zada Sheng pursed his lips tightly, and his head was in confusion.
?These futures are related to the issue of future survival, which makes Zada ??Sheng''s whole heart feel like it is being pulled up and pinched, making him very uncomfortable.
“King Youxian! It’s not good! It’s not good!”
Although Zha Tiansheng''s thoughts were scattered and there was no special explanation, out of instinct, Zha Tiansheng''s tribe still sent some rangers to investigate. Of course, these people were not professional scouts, but ordinary soldiers. .
There are naturally some differences between professional and non-professional scouts, just like now...
??The panicked ordinary soldiers pulled their necks and shouted, which not only shocked Zhada Sheng, but even caused a commotion in the entire team.
"What''s going on?!" Zada ??Sheng gritted his teeth, held back his anger, and asked in a deep voice. In normal times, a guy like this who dared to be so frivolous would have been dragged down and whipped more than a dozen times to improve his memory, but now, he could only endure it.
The pale-faced guy still didn’t know what to do. He still stretched his neck and shouted: "Youxian King! It’s bad! There are... Han people! There are Han people in front!"
Zada Sheng wanted to squeeze this guy to death, but after taking a long breath, he endured it and continued to ask: "How many people are there? How far away? Cavalry or infantry? How is the equipment?"
“This…this…” The messenger who was working as a part-time scout was speechless and could not answer any questions.
When Zada ??Sheng saw this, he closed his eyes, held the horse''s reins tightly with both hands, and swayed on the horse''s back.
??One of the guards beside Zha Tian Sheng took a few steps forward and said, "King Youxian, I''d better go to the front and take a look..."
"Okay!" Zha Tiansheng nodded, then turned around and ordered, "Everyone is ready and tidy up the horse gear! What a mess, this king is not dead yet! Changshengtian is still looking at us, did Changshengtian''s Chi Na eat it? If you lose a battle, you have to be like Nuo Hai! "Hah?" After all, there is still some majesty that has been preserved for a long time. After Zada ??Shengtuan sat on the horse, waved his whip, and roared at the top of his lungs, The clan members seem to have regained some morale...
Not long after, the guard of Zha Tiansheng came back and said loudly: "King Youxian! There are not many Han people, only two hundred cavalry! The equipment is also ordinary soldiers, without any vests!"
…
As if by coincidence, the tribesmen behind Zha Tian Sheng secretly took a long breath.
That day, the almost invulnerable Xiliang Iron Cavalry, both men and horses covered in heavy armor, left such a deep impression on the tribesmen of Zha Tian Sheng that they subconsciously did not want to face these tall and powerful iron cavalry again, so after listening to After arriving, not the heavy armored cavalry, but the ordinary Han cavalry, I felt a lot more relaxed.
“Only two hundred?” Zhadian Sheng confirmed again.
The soldier nodded.
?Zha Tiansheng frowned, glanced at the tribesmen behind him, and then looked at the direction to the north, and couldn''t help but start to think about it...
When I was a kid, I bought instant noodles. I crushed them first, then sprinkled the seasoning packets into it, shook it vigorously, and then ate it. I poured the last bit of the noodles into my hands, and then I poured it with my left and right hands to shake off the excess seasoning powder. I thought it was almost done. Just put it in your mouth and lick your paws clean...
This was a popular way of eating that was all the rage back then…
Has anyone ever eaten instant noodles like this?
Please raise your hand…
…
There is no substitute for youth...
To those of us who are getting older...
…

…
We will all grow old, but instant noodles will not...
…
…
…
…
…
Because a lot of preservatives are added...
