The Invincible Sixth Prince

Three days later, the barbarian army entered within a hundred miles of their camp.

Yun Zheng held a telescope and watched from afar the barbarian army that was approaching them.

"Fuck..."

When seeing the giant beasts leading the way in front of the barbarian army, Yun Zheng couldn't help but widen his eyes. He slowly handed the Clairvoyance to Qin Qihu, but his mind was in a mess.

There are no monsters.

But it is indeed a behemoth!

Moreover, it was a behemoth that he knew.

Mammoth!

What the hell does it have five legs?

The extra leg is the mammoth's long nose!

That long nose hanging down to the ground, doesn't it look like a leg from a distance?

More than a dozen huge mammoths were covered with a special layer of armor, and they were almost armed to the teeth.

On the mammoth, there are barbarians sitting.

Behind the mammoth was an army of barbarians wrapped in various animal skins.

From a distance, it looked like a dozen mammoths and a group of wild beasts were approaching them.

"Brother, do you...know this giant beast?"

Qin Qihu swallowed hard and asked stupidly.

Before this, he always thought that the spies from Beihuan were bragging.

Where can there be such a huge beast as big as two or three war horses?

But he only now realized that what those Beihuan spies said was still too conservative.

This thing is definitely bigger than two or three war horses!

I don’t know where these barbarians found these giant beasts.

"know."

Yun Zheng came back to his senses and nodded gently, "This is a mammoth, or a woolly mammoth..."

According to the geographical conditions he knew, it was normal for mammoths to appear in the territory of the northern barbarians.

but……

The mammoths in this world are not extinct?

And you were tamed by these barbarians?

This is incredible to think about!

Qin Qihu put down his clairvoyance, frowned and said, "This thing seems difficult to deal with!"

Behemoth!

This is definitely a real beast!

Even from such a distance you can see that the giant beasts are extremely huge. If you get closer, wouldn't they look like a small mountain?

Such huge beasts, covered in armor, could easily break through the battle formation formed by the Blood-Cloaked Army.

Who can resist this giant beast charging into battle?

Even the city walls would probably be knocked down by this giant beast, right?

No wonder the barbarians with only 70,000 or 80,000 troops dared to directly charge into the heartland of Beihuan.

I guess the barbarians consider their mammoths as their secret weapons?

"It's true that it's not easy to deal with, but it's not as difficult as you think!"

Yun Zheng stroked his chin and said, "No matter how difficult they are to deal with, there are only about a dozen of them!"

If there were hundreds or thousands of mammoths armed to the teeth, that would be a big problem indeed.

But a dozen mammoths should be easy to deal with.

"These barbarians are obviously heading for our camp."

Miaoyin frowned and said, "We have to find a way to stop these barbarians outside the camp, otherwise, they can easily break through our camp with these dozen giant beasts..."

Chevaux de frise and snow walls were as fragile as a piece of paper in front of this giant beast.

Once the camp was breached, their food and supplies would fall into the hands of these barbarians.

With food and supplies, wouldn't these barbarians be even more powerful?

"We must stop them from entering the camp."

Yun Zheng nodded gently, "Let's go, let's go back first!"

When turning his horse around, Yun Zheng couldn't help but look at the mammoths with envy.

It would be great if we could capture all these mammoths.

Riding such a giant beast through the streets is definitely cooler than driving a tank on the street!

Even if this thing is used to pull a plow, it is definitely a heavy-duty tillage machine!

Yun Zheng's greedy look did not escape Miaoyin's eyes.

"You don't want to take these giant beasts for yourself, do you?"

Miaoyin asked.

"The idea is indeed there."

Yun Zheng did not hide his covetousness, "How can the barbarians possess such a giant beast?"

mine!

It's all mine!

Yun Zheng screamed wildly in his heart.

"..."

Miaoyin was speechless, "Don't even think about taking these beasts for yourself yet, think about how to stop the barbarian army first!"

"Yep!"

Qin Qihu nodded in agreement, "Only if you defeat these barbarians will you have a chance to take these mammoths for yourself, right?"

"Don't worry, it's not difficult!"

Yun Zheng smiled and said no more.

He is different from Qin Qihu and Miaoyin.

It wasn't the massive mammoths that worried him.

But it was the barbarians’ terrifying marching speed!

If they really wanted to lead a large army to launch a surprise attack on the barbarians, they would definitely have to place the barbarian army about fifty miles away from their camp.

Only in this way can they ensure that after a raid, their cavalry can quickly return to the camp and not freeze in the open wilderness.

But the barbarians marched too fast!

Faster than any of them had imagined.

If the barbarian army is pushed back to about fifty miles away, and if they cannot be defeated in one fell swoop, the barbarian army will only need one day to raid their camp!

This distance is really a bit dangerous for them.

The key is that if they do not want to pay huge casualties to repel the barbarian army, they must use the advantages of cavalry and adopt harassment along the way.

In this way, it is basically impossible to repel the barbarian army with one battle.

However, if we can make perfect use of those explosive packs and the tiger squat cannon, it should not be difficult to just repel the barbarians.

Yun Zheng thought all the way and kept looking around, and returned to their camp before dark.

Before Yun Zheng could catch his breath, Jia Yao and Yu Shizhong arrived.

"Your Highness, have you seen those giant beasts?"

As soon as Yu Shizhong entered the big tent, he asked curiously.

"Of course I saw it!"

Yun Zheng smiled, "This beast is even bigger than what Jia Yao said!"

"what?"

Yu Shizhong almost dropped his jaw.

Is it bigger than what Jiayao said?

What kind of giant beast is this?

If this giant beast was covered in heavy armor, wouldn't it be invincible on the battlefield?

"Okay, don't be surprised! Although the beast is big, it's not that scary."

Yun Zheng raised his hand to close Yu Shizhong's silly mouth, and said, "In two days at the latest, the barbarian army will attack our camp. Have you discussed the battle plan?"

Yu Shizhong came back to his senses with difficulty and looked at Jia Yao again, "Let Madam Jia Yao speak!"

"All right!"

Jia Yao did not refuse and immediately told him the battle plan she and Yu Shizhong had agreed upon.

Their plan was simple enough.

It's nothing more than harassment and luring the enemy.

First, they continuously sent out cavalry to harass the two wings of the barbarian army, and at the same time led the barbarian army into the ambush circle they had prepared in advance, and then surrounded them on three sides and left one side open.

Their goal is still not to destroy as many barbarian troops as possible.

It would be best to make the barbarians retreat in one battle.

In this kind of weather, there is no need for them to fight to the death with the barbarians.

"There's not much problem with your plan."

Yun Zheng stroked his chin and said with envy: "But I was wondering if we could get a few mammoths from the northern barbarians to play with..."
