Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!
Chapter 89 Lan Guifang's Speculation
In the end, Nalan Guifang did not agree to the request of the Yelu tribe. Another reason for this was that the strength of the Yelu tribe and the Nalan tribe was similar, and Nalan Guifang did not want the Yelu tribe to get the credit.
Leave about 10,000 people there and wait for the Great Chanyu to send people over and wait for the next instructions.
Most of the remaining tribes are unwilling to stay here. If they can go out, they will get some supplies. Now they have little food left.
The remaining people were combined into a combat group of 40,000 people, two squadrons, and another place was chosen to snipe the pace of Cheng Jushu's team.
Lan Guifang was certain that Cheng Jushu's troops were going through Aihe, crossing the mountain and going around behind him. For such a large-scale march, it was definitely unrealistic to cross the mountain directly.
The team will most likely take Niulanzigou. It is estimated that the baggage and a small number of infantry will stay in the Longshaling area, and the cavalry will take a detour. The whole plan will take about one day.
Then the team led by Jiga Wa took the path along the foot of the mountain and attacked these people in the Longshaling area. If necessary, they would start burning the baggage. Even the food and fodder would be destroyed if necessary.
They deployed 40,000 ambushes in the area of Xieshanyu, which was close to their position. In case of any situation, they could be well-positioned and at ease.
Lan Guifang's guess was right. Cheng Jushu was indeed in the Longshaling area. However, the baggage that appeared from afar contained many soldiers ambushed inside, and the rest of the people were waiting nearby.
I thought I had caught a big fish, but Jiga Wa came with 5,000 people. From a distance, I saw that the piles below were all food and fodder, and there were only less than 10,000 people moving around.
Victory was at hand, and Jiga Wa threw all other distractions behind his mind. When it got dark, he led his troops towards the direction of the baggage and food.
In fact, when they arrived, they had already been discovered by Cheng Jushu's troops. According to the location where they appeared, General Cheng had already arranged a pocket formation tightly.
Just when Jiga Wa thought he had won.
Only then did he realize that the originally piled up food and grass were all long spears, and countless torches appeared around, illuminating the battlefield.
Just looking at the number of torches, there were more than 20,000 of them. Jiga Wa knew that he had fallen into a trap and there was no way back this time. He led his men to break out in an uninhabited direction. There was a hill here and the cavalry could not pass through.
He had no choice but to dismount and lead everyone over the mountains and hills when the horses stopped moving.
Four thousand of the five thousand men were lost, and only their thousand were left walking aimlessly towards the north along the mountains.
The moon is dark and the wind is strong on the rocky cliff road, and people are fleeing in panic to survive!
At this time, they didn't care and just walked on the road as long as it was heading north.
They didn't know how many miles they had walked. Finally, they stopped when they felt that there were no pursuers behind them. Jiga Wa led the rest of the people to rest on the spot.
The Dingzhou army was very happy with the victory in the first battle, and deliberately left these people behind to escape so that Na Lan Guifang would know the location of their main force and food supplies.
The next day, Jiga Wa was still heading north. On the way, he met a Hun scout. He asked for a fast horse and headed straight to where Lan Guifang was.
"What? They've been walking for a whole day and are still at Longsha Ridge? It looks like they're planning to take a detour. So, there's a good chance that reinforcements from the Great Zhou will arrive."
This time, Lan Guifang guessed correctly again. The people who were originally transporting the supplies went back and reported the battle situation to Prince Zhao Xin.
At this time, Dingzhou’s camp had assembled another 100,000 troops.
Especially when he heard that his son-in-law wanted ammunition for new weapons, he immediately sent someone to find the princess at full speed and inform her of the progress.
Li Shuya knew what her husband needed, so she had Zhao Yongsheng and Zhou Tong escort five hundred people with all the ammunition they could bring, and even some raw materials.
The six-wheeled carriages in Jing County were used to transport large quantities of supplies. The most important thing was that there was a powerful crossbow on the roof of the carriage. There was a rotating shaft in the middle of the crossbow, which could attack from the front and back, and it was usually facing forward.
The carriage was moving at a fairly fast pace, and it caught up with the main force before the prince's army entered the valley.
Zhou Tong was a captain in the Prince's Mansion, so he was naturally familiar with the prince. He rode forward and handed him a wheeled pistol.
"Your Highness, this was made by the Prince Consort. When you encounter a difficult opponent in close combat, don't waste your energy. Just shoot him dead."
Li Xin had never seen this wheeled pistol, but he knew that Zhao Sheng was making a long-range weapon that could kill the enemy from hundreds of steps away.
Now seeing the pistol, he asked, "How far away can it kill enemies?"
Zhou Tong replied, "Your Highness, the Prince Consort said that within ten steps the gun is fast, and within five steps the gun is both accurate and fast."
So Zhou Tong taught the prince how to fire and how to change the bullet hub.
Li Xin was in a playful mood at this time. He fired a shot at a clump of trees on the side of the road, which immediately scared his horse and made it gallop forward. It took Li Xin a long time to calm his mount's emotions.
"Your Majesty, you are truly amazing. Just now, there was a man in the bushes who was wounded by your gunshot. When we approached him, he actually tried to commit suicide by taking poison. I held his mouth and pulled out the poison."
"Oh! Who is it?"
"Your Highness, we haven't interrogated anyone yet. Anyone who wants us to take poison is definitely not a good person."
Zhou Tong reported quickly, thinking to himself: He doesn't look like someone from the Xiongnu side!
Li Xin rode over and saw a man with a shoulder blade injury. He was not tall and had smooth skin. It was obvious that he was not someone who often worked in the fields or in the military camp.
"Who are you?" Li Xin asked with a cold face.
Zhou Tong had just pinched his mouth and was using his stinky hand to dig into his mouth. He felt so disgusted that he didn't even think about talking to Li Xin.
Seeing that the other party ignored him, Li Xin raised his whip and hit him. In an instant, a blood mark appeared on the man's face.
"Kill me even if you want. I will never betray my master even if I die."
Li Xin heard the accent of Shangjing, not like an enemy spy. Why was he so eager to die? Even if he was a death warrior, he wouldn't be so frightened!
After all, it was behind the bushes, so even if he said he was taking a shit, it would still be an excuse! Why did he have to do this?
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
It seems that this person is not a assassin, but his family is threatened, so he wants to die to ensure the safety of his family.
"Okay, I'll just ask you one question, and you can just say yes or no. Think about it."
Li Xin had lost his patience. He had already guessed who sent this person. Maybe it was the second prince's man who was trying to spy on his military intelligence and grasp his military movements.
"Let me ask you, are you from the Great Zhou?"
The person on the opposite side didn't expect that Li Xin would ask such a simple question.
He answered without hesitation: "Yes!"
Li Xin waved his hand and said, "Let him go. I know what's going on."
The man was stunned for a moment, then understood. He took a step forward and said, "Since Your Highness knows what's going on, please let me go. I have a word of advice for you: watch out for your back!"
After the man finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the back.
Li Xin said to Yuchi Baowei, "Go and help him take care of his wounds. That's what a man should do!"
The prince said this and rode his horse a few steps forward quickly, but the meaning of the man's words kept echoing in his mind. Who is behind me?
