The Invincible Sixth Prince

Chapter 1500: The Eight Ghost Riders Arrive

In the valley, the fire has gradually died down.

After many days of suffering, Jia Yao and his team finally reaped the fruits of victory.

The only drawback was that they fired arrows at random, causing many of the enemy's horses to be injured.

Some war horses were burned or killed by the fire.

Although they destroyed a large number of enemy troops and caused minimal casualties on their own side, they did not capture many intact war horses.

However, Jia Yao fulfilled her promise and let all the soldiers eat delicious horse meat.

"Mrs. Jiayao, please eat something first."

Li Gu handed the roasted horse meat to Jia Yao, his eyes full of admiration.

He became Yun Zheng's personal guard only after Yun Zheng defeated Bei Huan.

He had only heard from others that Yun Zheng's first battle after arriving in Shuobei was to burn the Beihuan cavalry in the Liefeng Gorge, killing a large number of Beihuan's troops at a very low cost.

Unexpectedly, Jia Yao actually replicated Yun Zheng’s previous battle example today.

Also, a large number of enemy cavalry were killed at a very low cost.

It’s just that Jia Yao was once a loser.

And this time, she is the winner!

Jia Yao took the roasted horse meat handed to her by Li Gu.

It can be seen that this piece of horse meat has been carefully processed.

All the burnt areas on top were scraped off.

Jia Yao took a bite of horse meat, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, then told Li Gu: "Let everyone fill their stomachs quickly, and roast some cooked meat to take away!"

"Assign a thousand men to escort the captured war horses and armor to Black Turtle!"

"Order Shen Kuan to quickly send his 3,000 cavalry here to take away all the supplies that can be taken away. The weather is hot and humid, and the meat cannot be stored for too long..."

Hearing Jia Yao's order, Li Gu couldn't help but be stunned.

"Madam Jiayao, don't we take these supplies back ourselves?"

Li Gu asked in a dumbfounded manner.

"nonsense."

Jia Yao smiled and glared at Li Gu. "Didn't the prisoners say that they only had over 10,000 cavalrymen? This time they lost nearly 10,000. Now they have almost no cavalrymen left! The enemy army now can no longer think of attacking Longqing Prefecture. They just want to withdraw to Duyang as soon as possible..."

Withdraw Duyang?

Li Gu's eyelids suddenly jumped, and he looked at Jia Yao with a shocked face: "Madam, are you going to lead your troops to raid the retreating enemy troops?"

They have just defeated nearly 10,000 enemy cavalry, and now they are planning to attack the enemy's retreating troops?

Isn't her appetite too big?

Jia Yao nodded gently and said as a matter of course: "The enemy army has just been defeated, and their morale must be low now. If we don't take this opportunity to strike them hard, are we waiting for them to recover and confront us in a stalemate?"

"Madam Jiayao, isn't this... too risky?"

Li Gu was a little worried.

There is no doubt about Jia Yao's leadership ability.

He was afraid that Jia Yao would go crazy and kill like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins and could not be stopped.

If something happens to her, wouldn't Your Highness be heartbroken?

"Nothing to risk!"

Jia Yao didn't care, "I just want to take advantage of it. If it were Yun Zheng, he would want to eat up all the 20,000 soldiers in the enemy camp!"

At this time, there is no question of whether to take risks or not.

If she doesn't dare to take the initiative at this time, all these years of military service would have been in vain!

In Yun Zheng’s words, if you don’t take advantage of an opportunity, you’re a bastard!

Now is the time to take advantage!

How much advantage she can gain depends on her ability and the ability of the enemy's main general.

If we can kill even a hundred more enemy soldiers now, it will be more advantageous in future battles.

"Report..."

At this moment, a scout came running to report, "Madam Jiayao, a group of unknown troops are approaching our army!"

"Approximately how many people?"

Jia Yao stood up immediately.

"It looks like there are only about a hundred people."

the scout replied.

"About a hundred people?"

Gaoyao frowned.

They have five or six thousand men.

If the enemy only has a hundred or so people, what can they do?

To die?

Those who are still gathering here at this time should be our people, right?

Jia Yao thought for a moment and immediately ordered Li Gu: "Take people to verify the identity of the person coming. If they are enemies, don't let any of them live!"

"Yes!"

Li Gu immediately accepted the order.

Just as Li Gu was about to gather his men to verify the identity of the enemy, another scout came running over and said excitedly, "Madam Jiayao, it's... it's the Eighteen Ghost Riders! The Eighteen Ghost Riders are here!"

The Eighteen Ghost Riders?

Ga Yao's eyelids suddenly twitched.

This is the most mysterious force under Yun Zheng!

This group of people are elusive, and until now, she still doesn't know what they look like!

Although this group of people only has about a hundred people, if used well, they will definitely have the power to change the situation of the battle!

"Quick, bring them here!"

Jia Yao became excited.

The Eighteen Ghost Riders only obey Yun Zheng’s orders!

They are coming here now, probably to listen to the instructions, right?

Does this mean that I also have the opportunity to command the most elite and mysterious force under Yun Zheng?

Soon, Youjiu led all the Eighteen Ghost Riders to Jiayao.

"I've met Mrs. Gayao!"

Everyone bowed to Jia Yao.

The Ghost Eighteen Riders were still wearing masks.

However, probably for the convenience of movement, they wore the clothes of the Li people.

"No gift!"

Jia Yao felt a little regretful that she still couldn't see the true faces of these people.

"How did you find this place?"

Jia Yao asked again.

You Jiu straightened his body, "Madam, we secretly crossed the Danshui River and entered the territory of Li a few days ago, and then quickly rushed to Longqing Mansion. I heard from General Shen that Madam Jiayao led her troops to ambush the enemy here, so I came here specially to listen to Madam Jiayao's advice!"

"You arrived just in time!"

Jia Yao's eyes flashed with brilliance, "I am planning to lead my troops to attack the enemy in the direction of Duyang. You guys take a rest first. If you need to change horses, pick one yourself! Join us to raid the enemy later!"

"Yes!"

Everyone took the order together.

You Jiu was not polite and directly ordered someone to change the horses.

They had been galloping all the way here, and their horses were already exhausted.

"By the way, do you have any other news?"

At this time, Jia Yao asked You Jiu again.

You Jiu replied: "The navy's reinforcements are on the way and should arrive within half a month!"

"Also, before we crossed the Dan River, we heard that 10,000 elite cavalrymen from Beihuan were already heading towards Hezhou. By now, they should have arrived in Hezhou!"

"General Heasu led 2,000 troops to Xinjin in April, where they received training from the navy."

"Also, His Highness has led his troops to capture Xiqu. Before we set off, the tribes in Xiqu had already begun to surrender..."

You Jiu reported the news in detail, but Jia Yao was secretly shocked when he heard it.

Has Yun Zheng already captured Xiqu?

With the destruction of Xiqu, it seems that there is no longer any strong force around Daqian.

However, after thinking about it, Jia Yao shook his head and smiled again.

It seemed nothing surprising that Yun Zheng conquered Xiqu.

He should be surprised if he couldn't capture Xiqu!

Well, it seems I have to work harder!

After dealing with the enemy forces in the direction of Duyang, it’s time to find a way to retake Juncheng!

As long as we take back Juncheng, the autumn wind will sweep away the fallen leaves...
