The Invincible Sixth Prince

Chapter 979 A 5-legged beast?

At noon four days later, Yun Zheng led his troops to Jia Yao's camp.

As Yun Zheng led the army to arrive, many Beihuan soldiers also felt relieved.

Before this, although many people did not say it, they still suspected in their hearts that Yun Zheng might use the northern barbarians to further deplete the manpower of Beihuan.

Yun Zheng's timely assistance was like a reassurance to them.

Upon receiving the news, Jia Yao personally went out of the camp to welcome Yun Zheng.

"Jiayao meets her husband!"

In front of all the generals, Jia Yao gave Yun Zheng enough face.

In this way, she was also telling the soldiers of Beihuan that Yun Zheng who led the army to rescue them was Jia Yao's husband, not the Yun Zheng who had a deep hatred for Beihuan.

Hearing Jia Yao's address to Yun Zheng, Qin Qihu suddenly burst into a strange laugh and looked at Yun Zheng with a wink.

Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, "You are being well behaved now. I wonder if you will show your teeth to me again later."

"What do you mean?"

Ga Yao asked without knowing why.

Yun Zheng glanced at Jia Yao and said calmly, "Each of us only brought a few kilograms of food and five days of dry rations..."

Originally they brought ten kilograms of food.

During the march these days, we cooked some food in the tribes of Beihuan and ate it. Now everyone only has a few pounds of food left.

In other words, from now on, their food and fodder will have to be borne by Beihuan.

Jia Yao also understood what Yun Zheng meant.

However, Jia Yao did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he smiled and said, "Look at what you said! You have rushed all the way to help me. Can I still expect you to escort food and fodder with you?"

Although Jiayao's obsession with food is almost crazy, he is not so out of control.

If we really wait for Yun Zheng and his men to arrive slowly with food and supplies, they will probably have defeated the northern barbarians or been defeated by them.

"How rare! You didn't even show your teeth."

Yun Zheng looked at Jia Yao meaningfully and said, "Let's go, let's go to the camp first! We are almost freezing to death after rushing all the way here."

Over the past few days, they have lost several hundred people, all of whom have been placed in the Beihuan tribe to recuperate.

Not only were there casualties in terms of men, but there were also casualties in terms of war horses.

After this battle with the northern barbarians, a batch of war horses will probably be eliminated.

"it is good!"

Jia Yao nodded and invited Yun Zheng and others into her tent.

"Sister-in-law, you don't even have a fire in your tent? You're not enthusiastic at all!"

As soon as he entered Jia Yao's tent, Qin Qihu started teasing Jia Yao.

"Don't we have limited supplies?"

Jia Yao smiled helplessly, "Wait a moment, I'll have someone bring some dung cakes."

Jia Yao did not lie about this.

Their main fuel is horse dung, cow dung, and other air-dried dung cakes.

In the winter in Beihuan, fuel consumption is very high.

It is winter now and the horse manure cannot be dried in the air, so there are not many dung cakes stored in the army.

They don't know how long this battle will end, so they try to save dung cakes wherever possible.

"never mind!"

Yun Zheng stopped Jia Yao and said, "You know who Brother Qin is. He was joking with you! We have come all the way through the snow and wind. Do you still feel cold in your tent?"

"All right!"

Jiayao smiled and told Hutulu to ask someone to boil some water.

After everyone sat down, Yun Zheng went straight to the point: "Let's talk about the situation on your side first!"

Jia Yao nodded and immediately told them the situation here in detail.

At present, the barbarian army is still advancing towards them.

Although the barbarians are basically infantry, they march very quickly.

They could advance sixty or seventy miles every day.

"Sixty...seventy miles?"

Yun Zheng was shocked and looked at Jia Yao in disbelief, "Did I hear it right?"

When their infantrymen usually marched quickly, forty miles a day was the limit.

How could the barbarians advance sixty or seventy miles a day in such bad weather?

Isn't this a proper beast?

Not only Yun Zheng, Miaoyin and the others were also shocked.

In this kind of weather, the infantry advanced sixty to seventy miles a day, which was really exaggerated.

"You heard it right. It is indeed about sixty or seventy miles."

Jia Yao said seriously: "The barbarians are relatively strong and have adapted to the cold weather. They don't have much armor on their bodies and can even eat raw meat. They don't even need to bury the pot to cook..."

They have people who are always on duty to investigate the situation of the barbarian armies.

Every member of the barbarian army carried some raw meat, and they also carried hundreds of domesticated reindeer. The reindeer could serve as their food before they fought with them to get supplies.

But as far as she knew, those reindeer were valuable treasures to the barbarians.

Barbarians will not eat reindeer unless they have no other choice.

"Even so, sixty or seventy miles is a little unbelievable, right?"

Miaoyin frowned and said, "We have come all the way here. The snow in many places is quite thick. The snow in the north of your territory should be even thicker, right? How can you run so fast in such thick snow?"

"I thought it was impossible at first, but after listening to the spy's report, I understood what was going on."

At this point, Jia Yao's expression became solemn, "I don't know where these barbarians got more than a dozen giant beasts from. With those giant beasts leading the way, the snow on the ground is nothing at all."

"Behemoth?"

Yun Zheng was curious, "What giant beast?"

"I don't know him either."

Ga Yao shook his head gently.

"What do those beasts look like? How big are they?"

Qin Qihu asked again curiously.

Jia Yao replied: "I have never seen what those beasts look like, but I heard from the spies that they are very big, covered in thick armor, and have very long fangs..."

Wearing thick armor and having very long fangs?

After hearing what Jia Yao said, Yun Zheng and the others became confused.

It can't be the legendary Boar Rider?

No matter how big a wild boar is, it cannot be called a behemoth, right?

"You said this is very big, how big is it?"

Yun Zheng asked with interest.

Jia Yao frowned and replied: "Our people dare not approach to investigate. They themselves can't tell how big it is. Anyway, it is at least as big as two or three war horses!"

As big as two or three war horses?

After hearing Jia Yao's answer, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

If that beast is really that big, then it can truly be considered a behemoth.

But, can the barbarians tame such a huge beast?

Although Jia Yao spoke very seriously, Yun Zheng and the others were still skeptical.

Two or three war horses are huge beasts, and if they are covered with heavy armor, they will be able to kill anyone who stands in their way!

Before they could come to their senses, Jia Yao continued, "By the way, our spies also said that the beast has five legs!"

"What the hell?"

Yun Zheng's face was filled with black lines, "Five legs? Are you spies dazzled?"

A five-legged beast?

He thought about all the creatures that could be called giant beasts in his mind, but there was no creature with five legs!

"I don't think it's possible either."

Jia Yao shook his head and smiled, "But our spies said with absolute certainty that the beast does have five legs!"

Yun Zheng was surprised.

A five-legged beast?

He's not even called a behemoth!

It’s time to call the monster!
