"My lord, it's really strange at this time. It seems like we are isolated here, and we haven't received any news from the outside world."
Yan Gang also frowned, and the joy of capturing Yuyang disappeared.
"This is not right. There is a problem. Someone may have started a scouting war with us, and this person is only Yuan Shu."
Although the scouts had no news, no news was still news. For Gongsun Zan, who had been marching for many years, he could already judge many things.
"Well, how about I personally lead a team to investigate?"
Since it was a scout war, either quantity would win or quality would win. It was impossible for them to send out tens of thousands of cavalry to conduct reconnaissance, so Yan Gang chose to go out on his own.
"Well, I'm most at ease if you go. Five days. I'll only give you five days. After five days, I want to know where Yuan Shu is now."
"promise."
"Ah Fan, order the prisoners to reinforce Yuyang City and do their best to reinforce it."
"promise."
After capturing Yuyang City, Gongsun Zan's army began to take action. First, Yan Gang led a thousand cavalry out of Yuyang City and ran in the direction of Wu Ending. If Yuan Shu really wanted to lock them down, the first thing he had to do was to capture Wu Ending.
Zhong County, as long as you confirm this place, everything will be clear.
After Yan Gang left the city, the entire Yuyang City was under martial law. The tens of thousands of Youzhou infantry captured by Gongsun Zan in the Battle of Zhanping were all turned into strong laborers, and the city walls were reinforced day and night to prevent possible enemies.
"General, do you think we will encounter an enemy?"
A white horseman from the team led his horse to Yan Gang's side, looking at the road ahead with doubts in his eyes.
"Ding Cheng, don't think too much. What should be there will always be there, and what shouldn't be there won't be. As a soldier, you just need to be ready for battle at any time."
Seeing the worry in his subordinate Yan Gang's eyes, he had the same idea as Gongsun Zan. There were countless enemy cavalry scouts in front of him. How many of the thousand cavalry who came out with him this time could go back together.
"promise."
While Yan Gang and the others were talking, a figure flashed across the forest.
Zhao Yun and Gao Lan had already turned around, and 30,000 elite cavalry were like a big net covering the entire east side of Yuyang County. Although Gongsun Zan's scouts were elite, they were still helpless in the face of the equally elite Ying Yang Army and prairie cavalry scouts' snipers.
One can survive.
"General, about a thousand cavalry rushed out from Yuyang City and are heading towards Wujiang."
The scouts directly informed Zhao Yun of Yan Gang's news and they knew it.
"Well done, Gongsun Zan smelled something, so he sent Qianqi out to investigate."
Upon hearing the scout's words, Gao Lan immediately guessed what Gongsun Zan meant.
"Well, senior brother is right. Since these scouts are here, don't go back. Instruct each team to assemble. I want to give them a surprise."
"Okay, how many troops and horses should be gathered?"
Gao Lan looked at Zhao Yun with no strange color in his eyes.
Although Gao Lan is slightly older than Zhao Yun, when the two of them are together, Zhao Yun is always the main one and he is the supplementary one. Such a combination.
"Since Gongsun Zan has sent a thousand cavalry this time, he will definitely not send more troops and horses in a short period of time. The whole army will be assembled. After killing this wave, I think the arrangements for the lord are almost complete."
Zhao Yun thought for a moment and decided to give the order to assemble the entire army.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
Gao Lan nodded, and then ordered the soldiers who were already ready to gather their companions.
After receiving the order, a group of Yingyang Army Cavalry and Prairie Jingqiu gathered in small teams to their respective camp commanders, and then under the leadership of the military commanders, they gathered under the command of their respective captains, and finally gathered under the banners of Zhao Yun and Gao Lan.
"Sir, it's been two days and we haven't found any enemies. Could it be that my lord made a mistake in his judgment?"
It was Ding Cheng who approached Yan Gang and asked him questions with a frown.
"Ding Cheng, this is the first time you criticize your lord in front of me, but it is also the last time. If you are heard by me next time, I guarantee that your head will not be on your shoulders. Do you understand?"
Yan Gang suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Ding Cheng in front of him.
"I realize my mistake, little one. It was a slip of the tongue. I have absolutely no second thoughts towards my lord."
The murderous aura that suddenly emerged from Yan Gang's body scared Ding Cheng to the point of trembling, and he almost fell off his horse.
With his brows furrowed, Yan Gang looked ahead. He always felt that there was a man-eating beast in front of him, opening its huge mouth, waiting for him to die.
It is always quiet before the storm. The quieter it is now, the more powerful the enemy they encounter may be. The only explanation for this situation is that the enemy has withdrawn its troops and horses, and has tied pockets in front of them, waiting for them to get through.
Of course, these strict officials can't tell their subordinates. After all, there are many warriors who know that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer to go to the tiger mountains. Death in battle is not terrible, but death is the most painful thing.
He was afraid that if he revealed his speculation, the Qian Baima Yi Cong would collapse on the spot.
In two days, the Yingyang Army Cavalry and the Prairie Elite Cavalry had been assembled. Thirty thousand people were in full formation, waiting for the arrival of Yan Gang's thousand elite cavalry.
"General, they have already garrisoned the camp. Do you want to attack the camp at night?"
It was night in a blink of an eye, and Captain Ying Yang came to Zhao Yun and reported Yan Gang's whereabouts to him.
"Du Bo, please remember that we can only attack the camp when our troops are inferior to the enemy, or when the strength of the two sides is almost the same. What we have to do now is to completely annihilate the enemy with the corresponding forces. A night attack will only
Something slipped through the net, do you understand?"
Looking at the captain beside him, Zhao Yun smiled and gave him a hint.
"Dubo has learned a lesson."
Yingyang Captain Du Bo saluted Zhao Yun. Although he was familiar with military books, he could only talk about military affairs on paper, and he was very immature in grasping and choosing opportunities.
"Has my senior brother already left with his troops?"
After training his men, Zhao Yun set his sights on Gao Lan.
"Well, General Gao Lan left here with his troops."
"Are the cavalry on the left and right in place?"
"Everything has been properly placed."
Du Bo nodded. Zhao Yun's purpose in this battle was to close the net and ensure that none of the enemies could escape.
"Well, take a rest and attack tomorrow morning."
"promise."
The next day Yan Gang opened his sleepy eyes. He had not rested all night last night. He always felt that a danger was coming, but nothing happened after one night.
"After eating something, we will set off. We can reach the border in half a day. If we don't find anything here, we can go back and resume our lives."
"promise."
The journey of Qian Baima Yi was quite smooth, and it only took half an hour from waking up to eating to setting off. After that, under the leadership of Yan Gang, they continued to move in the direction of Wuming.
"General, here we come."
Looking at the smoke in the distance, I knew without thinking that Yan Gang had arrived.
"The entire army is ready and will obey my orders."
