The Invincible Sixth Prince

Night falls.

Sheldon's soldiers were still busy.

Some people were simply bandaging the wounds of the seriously injured, some were collecting firewood to light a bonfire, some were feeding the war horses with the only beans they had, and some were cutting up the bodies of the war horses left at the scene.

They had been busy all day and could just get some meat from the horses to roast.

In the midst of the busy battle, many soldiers took off their armor.

In the dark, a few eyes were quietly watching everything.

Seeing so many people taking off their armor, several people were surprised and quickly retreated quietly.

Not long after, Jia Yao received the news brought back by the scout.

"Have you taken off all your armor?"

Jia Yao was overjoyed and immediately asked, "Can you see it clearly?"

She originally planned to wait until the second half of the night to launch a surprise attack on the enemy cavalry.

However, the news brought back by the scouts made her think of changing her plans.

“We can see it clearly!”

The scout replied: "At least 80% of the enemy troops have taken off their armor!"

More than 80%?

Jia Yao was overjoyed when he received the scout's reply.

She had been worried that the enemy cavalry would react and launch a counterattack against them, causing them heavy casualties, so she wanted to launch a surprise attack on the enemy in the middle of the night.

Now, she doesn't need to worry at all.

"very good!"

Jia Yao's eyes flashed with excitement: "Pass the order, leave 100 people to take care of the wounded, and the rest of the troops will immediately launch a surprise attack on the enemy! Li Gu, you lead 1,000 troops to bypass them to prevent the enemy from escaping to the tiger's mouth!"

As Jia Yao's order was given, the army immediately began to move.

On the other side, Sheldon was eating freshly roasted horse meat, but there was no joy of eating meat on his face.

They have already suffered three defeats along the way!

Now, even the main general Alec has been captured alive by the enemy!

shame!

This is simply a great shame!

Endless anger spread throughout Sheldon's body, making him feel as if he was about to burn.

Sheldon had no place to vent his anger, so he could only tear apart the horse meat that was not fully roasted.

Just when Sheldon was furious, the spy came back again and reported: "General, we followed the traces on the ground all the way, and the traces completely disappeared near where we camped before!"

"What? The trace disappeared?"

Sheldon stood up suddenly and asked, "Have you looked carefully?"

"I have searched carefully!"

The spy replied.

After getting the exact answer, Sheldon's face suddenly became even uglier.

Could it be that the enemy can grow wings and fly away?

Can the traces left by thousands of cavalry just disappear?

unless……

As he was thinking about it, Sheldon suddenly shuddered.

Could those traces have been left behind when they set out from the camp?

The enemy did not advance towards the tiger's mouth at all!

not good!

The enemy will most likely ambush them!

Just as Sheldon woke up from his dream, he suddenly heard the sound of thousands of horses galloping.

coming!

The enemy is really coming!

Fell into a trap!

Once again, they fell into the enemy's trap!

The enemy left these seriously wounded soldiers behind not to make them a burden to them, but just to let them rest here overnight, making it easier for the enemy to launch a surprise attack on them!

"Quick, put on your armor! Get on your horse!"

Sheldon's face changed drastically and he yelled loudly.

Just as Sheldon was yelling, the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer...

……

In the middle of the night, a cavalry team of more than ten people caught up with Shen Kuan and his men.

"General Shen, Madam Jiayao has an order: Order your troops to rest on the spot and send more scouts to pay close attention to the situation in the Heji direction! Madam Jiayao will lead her troops to meet up with yours later!"

The leader quickly gave Shen Kuan the order to attack Daga Yao.

"The last general takes command!"

Shen Kuan quickly made arrangements, and called the leading messenger aside, asking anxiously, "How is the battle going?"

The messenger grinned and said, "The enemy cavalry didn't even have time to put on their armor. They were suddenly attacked by our troops and almost all of them were wiped out!"

"Great!"

Shen Kuan shouted in surprise, and then hurriedly asked: "Is Madam Jiayao injured?"

"no!"

The messenger shook his head, "Madam Jiayao is under strict protection, please rest assured, General Shen!"

"That's good!"

Shen Kuan felt relieved and asked again: "What about our casualties?"

The messenger replied: "In the battle during the day, our troops lost about 900 people, including more than 300 killed and more than 500 seriously injured! When we were ordered to come and deliver the message, the casualties of tonight's battle had not yet been counted, but the casualties of this battle should be very small!"

After all, the enemy basically had time to put on their armor.

Faced with their surprise attack, the enemy was thrown into chaos and they encountered almost no decent resistance.

"Okay, great!"

After confirming that the casualties on his side were very small, Shen Kuan felt relieved.

I feel that Madam Jiayao is now acting like a princess!

In these two battles, even if His Highness led the troops personally, the casualties would not have been much lower.

Madam Jiayao must have studied previous war examples a lot this year, right?

The more Shen Kuan thought about it, the happier he became. He couldn't help but ask, "So, we captured a lot of war horses?"

"Ah."

The messenger's face was full of smiles. "Not only did we seize a lot of war horses, but also a large amount of armor! I guess that Madam Jiayao asked you to rest here so that you can help transport the armor and the wounded."

"should be!"

Shen Kuan nodded heavily, smiling so hard that he could hardly close his mouth.

Although they also lost more than 900 people, they captured a large number of war horses and armor.

They can equip more cavalry and infantry!

Now, the only thing to worry about is food.

But after thinking about it, Shen Kuan put his worries aside.

As long as they have a large number of cavalry, with Madam Jiayao's leadership ability, they can definitely kill the enemy in large numbers.

By then, the enemy would have trouble even being able to defend Longqing Prefecture, let alone besiege it!

The more Shen Kuan thought about it, the more excited he became, yet he felt secretly ashamed.

I have been learning from His Highness for so long, but I am still far behind His Highness and Madam Jiayao.

If he were in charge of planning this battle, he should be able to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, but he would never be able to defeat the enemy like this, not to mention that their own casualties were so small.

Ugh!

I still have to learn more!

We cannot allow people to say that the people taught by His Highness are good-for-nothings.

Thinking of this, Shen Kuan quickly asked someone to bring him paper and pen and wrote to Yun Zheng again.

After finishing writing, Shen Kuan immediately called a personal soldier and said, "Take a few people to deliver this letter to Xiongjin immediately, and ask the navy to send someone to deliver this letter to Hezhou as quickly as possible!"

"Yes!"

The guard took the letter and quickly left with a few people...
