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, there is no way to go. How to go is another question...

Therefore, taking an unfamiliar road is better than taking a road that you have walked on before. 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 to fifty miles south.

Special treatment for special circumstances. Previously, I was following Huvroud's large army. If I wanted to ambush a force of ten thousand cavalry, a number of one or two thousand would be of little use. However, if the number is large, the smoke and dust that covers the sky will be difficult to conceal. It is very easy to be discovered, so in the past few days, the Hu people were scattered in small groups of hundreds and thousands, just harassing them left and right. As for large-scale ambushes...

Under such terrain conditions, it would be easier to switch to a surprise attack.

For a thousand-man cavalry like Zhao Yun's return to the Yulin camp, on the one hand, there are valleys on one side of the return road, making it easier to hide people; 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 having the scouts deployed far away were obvious. Zhao Yun's scouts 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 early 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 unknown river 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 we are defeated and in a state of embarrassment. Although we tried our best to gather the troops at dawn, there are still many tribesmen who don't know where they have gone, and they don't dare to stay in one place for a long time. We were afraid that the troops from the Yulin Camp would send pursuers, so we quickly organized ourselves 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, he and his clansmen had sworn and patted their chests, saying that if they defeated the combined army of Yuvluo and the Han people, then that would be all. But now, he was slapped in the face and it hurt.

Face is not the most critical issue. The most serious issue at the moment is how much trust and support the tribe can have for Zhadian Sheng...

Zha Tiansheng's eyes narrowed, and he glanced secretly to the left and right, and found that there seemed to be some tribesmen gathering together behind him, muttering something in a low voice.

Are you talking bad about me?

Or are you planning to overthrow me?

Looking for Xianbei and asking for Xianbei's support is definitely not a good road to take. The Xianbei people are not good people, so how can they agree casually? If it doesn't work well, there is a possibility of being swallowed up by the Xianbei people...

What's more, now that the young and strong tribesmen have lost so much, not to mention how they will survive this winter, just in terms of combat effectiveness that has been weakened in such an instant, can they ensure that they are not spied by other tribes?

Zha Tian Sheng pursed his lips tightly, his head in confusion.

These future issues related to future survival made Zada ​​Sheng's whole heart feel like it was being pulled up and squeezed, 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. If this were normal times, a guy who dared to be so arrogant would have been dragged down and whipped for more than a dozen times. I remembered it, but now, I can only endure it.

The guy with a pale face still didn't know what to do. He still pulled his neck and shouted: "King Youxian! It's not good! There are... Han people! There are Han people in front!"

Zada Sheng wished he could 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 are they? Cavalry or infantry? How is the equipment?"

"This... this..." The reporting guy, who was working as a part-time scout, was speechless and couldn't answer any questions.

Upon seeing this, Zada ​​Sheng 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, I am not dead yet! Changshengtian is still looking at us. Did Changshengtian eat China? If you lose a battle, do you have to be like Nuo Hai, with your tail between your legs! Ah?!"

After all, there is still some majesty that has been preserved for a long time. Zhadian Sheng sat on the horse, waved his whip, and roared at the top of his lungs. The tribesmen seemed to have regained some morale...

Not long after, the guard who had attacked 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!"

"call……"

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 seeing not the heavy armored cavalry, but the ordinary Han cavalry, I felt a lot more relaxed.

"Only two hundred?" Zada ​​Sheng confirmed again.

The soldier nodded.

Zha Tiansheng frowned, glanced at the tribesmen behind him, then looked at the direction to the north, and couldn't help but start to think...

When I was a kid, I bought instant noodles. I crushed them first, then sprinkled the seasoning packets in, shook them hard, and then ate them. I poured the last bit of the noodles into my hands, 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 then lick your paws clean... This was a popular way of eating at that time... Has anyone eaten instant noodles like this? Please raise your hand... There is no substitute for being young...

To those of us who are getting old…………………………………… We will all get old, but instant noodles will not………………………because there are a lot of added ingredients

preservative……
