Chapter 29 Battlefield Game
Originally, on that day at the Cangzhou training ground, Yuwen Chengdu, clad in golden armor, forcefully suppressed the two generals, Lian'er Xinshan and Nian Deli.
If they could capitalize on this momentum of victory and cooperate with the Yun Prince's spies within the Cangzhou army, they could completely refuse Chang Ke's request to lead troops into battle and seize full control of the Cangzhou military.
But in order to give Chang Ke a suitable reason to ascend to heaven.
Su Ye sent a message to Yuwen Chengdu, requesting that he cooperate with Chang Ke's request to send troops to provide support. He then took another support army to Dongning Pass.
This was to facilitate Su Ye's plan to seize Dongning Pass.
Otherwise, with Yuwen Chengdu, a top-tier war god, advancing alongside Chang Ke and guarding his side, he would have been much better off.
That fourth-ranked war god of the alien race might not dare to charge into battle.
Now, Chang Ke's army is half its original size, and the war god Yuwen Chengdu is also gone. The army only has two great generals, Lian'er Xinshan and Nian Deli.
This situation is still within the scope of what that alien war god, ranked fourth, can handle.
With a little guidance from the nets along the way, Chang Ke, the governor of Cangzhou, will be in deep trouble!
What if the fourth-ranked war god of that alien race didn't manage to harm Chang Ke?
With Yao Guangxiao filling in the gaps, Su Ye naturally wouldn't place his hopes on a foreign race, even if that person was a top-tier celestial general.
Therefore, the whereabouts of that alien race were always within the surveillance range of the Net.
At this time, most of the Luo Wang's fighting force, apart from the Six Sword Slaves, consisted of Zhao Gao, Yan Ri, and Hei Bai Xuan Jian, who were always by their side on standby.
Once this small force of alien troops breaks into Chang Ke's army, they won't need to worry about anything else.
The Net will allow Chang Ke to die in a "reasonable" way at the hands of this small alien force!
...
Taiping Pass
Having suffered such a huge blow, and having failed to capture Taiping Pass after a long siege, now that those two killing gods are inside Taiping Pass again.
The leaders of the various Xiongnu tribes are now secretly planning to withdraw their troops.
After all, this campaign was ultimately just a test of the Central Plains by the various tribes of the grasslands, and now it seems that they don't even have a chance to capture Taiping Pass.
The various Xiongnu Chanyus were naturally unwilling to use their own tribes' sons for this game of "candy chop" anymore.
"My lord, the Xiongnu army has begun to gradually retreat."
Yao Guangxiao, dressed in black, stood on the city wall, gazing at the movement of the Xiongnu army in the distance, before turning back to Su Ye and speaking.
"Sir, the Xiongnu army is about to retreat. Should we take this opportunity to pursue them?"
Su Ye looked at the black tide slowly receding into the distance and asked Yao Guangxiao beside him.
After all, with Suzaku, an invincible sniper rifle in the era of cold weapons, they could still take down a few more high-ranking enemy officers.
"My lord, this is absolutely forbidden!"
"If our army were to leave the city to pursue them now, we would surely suffer a crushing defeat, and then our favorable situation would be completely lost!"
Seeing that Su Ye seemed to be getting carried away and wanted to leave the city to give chase, Yao Guangxiao, who was standing beside him, felt a sinking feeling in his heart and quickly tried to dissuade him.
"I wonder why you say this, sir?"
Hearing Yao Guangxiao's words, Su Ye, who was pondering in his heart, knew that Yao Guangxiao would not speak without reason, so he calmed down his restless thoughts and asked.
"My lord, if the Xiongnu only consist of those tribal leaders, then it's nothing serious, we can just pursue them."
"But my lord, please look, although the Xiongnu army is retreating, it does not appear chaotic. On the contrary, it is orderly, covering each other and retreating in turn."
"When Baihu returned from his raid on the camp, he mentioned that during his time there, someone had quickly reorganized the already defeated Xiongnu and put them in high alert. This clearly shows that there must be a capable commander within the Xiongnu army at this time."
"Given his abilities, how could he not have taken precautions during the withdrawal? Perhaps he has already set a trap and is just waiting for our army to pursue him."
Yao Guangxiao blurted out his answer without much thought, clearly indicating that he had already considered whether or not to pursue the enemy.
"Moreover, our army currently only has the White Tiger Cavalry and some cavalry from the Azure Dragon Legion, and there are not many cavalry among the original Taiping garrison."
"But the enemy Xiongnu still number over a hundred thousand. The disparity in troop strength is so great, how can they possibly pursue them?"
"As for pursuing with infantry, Dao Yan believes that even without Dao Yan's words, the lord can imagine the consequences."
Yao Guangxiao lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then continued his analysis, fiddling with the prayer beads in his hand.
"Furthermore, if our troops fall into an ambush during this pursuit, we will suffer heavy losses."
"But if the Xiongnu army were to suddenly turn back, how would Taiping Pass defend itself?"
Hearing Yao Guangxiao's unhurried analysis, Su Ye pondered for a while.
Indeed, although the Xiongnu have retreated, it is not because of defeat.
Although there was some regret that we could not pursue the Xiongnu army, since things had come to this point, we had no choice but to accept it.
……
"General, it seems the garrison at Taiping Pass won't be chasing us out."
On the way the Xiongnu army was retreating, a cavalry force of about 20,000 men was on high alert. At this moment, a leader of the cavalry said with a sigh.
At this moment, the leader of this cavalry, Tuoba Junwenfeng, also looked regretful. Although he knew that the chances were slim, he still held onto a sliver of hope.
If the garrison inside Taiping Pass dares to leave the city to pursue them, then Tuoba Junwenfeng is very confident that he can defeat this pursuing force.
Despite the fact that Baihu led his White Tiger cavalry to raid the enemy camp and routed the hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu troops, the Xiongnu army was completely unprepared at that time and hadn't even mounted their horses.
If they were to truly engage in battle, Tuoba Junwenfeng would let those Central Region cavalry know.
If it's about cavalry, then the men of the grasslands are the true ancestors!
It's a pity that those cowardly rats inside Taiping Pass are so timid that they didn't even come out when there was such a good opportunity.
They hid in that dilapidated city.
If the garrison at Taiping Pass really dares to go out of the pass to pursue them, then the number of troops they bring with them will certainly be considerable.
It's even possible that the God of War, who could directly suppress Helian Yue's army, personally led the team.
If Tuoba Junwenfeng can swallow this army, the garrison at Taiping Pass will suffer heavy losses.
As for that God of War?
Anyway, this is the fate of the Xiongnu, so we'll just pile them up as much as we can.
He's not a god. He's surrounded by a large army. He can't possibly kill tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry all by himself, can he?
At that time, the Xiongnu army will suddenly turn back and surely achieve some success.
It could even erase the negative impact of Helian Yuejun, that useless soldier, being instantly killed.
Let these Xiongnu people exhaust some of the tribe's young and strong men at Taiping Pass.
"Fine, since that's the case, let's withdraw the ambush."
After watching for a while longer, Tuoba Junwenfeng could only helplessly say to the deputy general beside her.
