Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 381 Successfully broke through!

The Qin Dynasty's surprise attack quickly achieved results, and after a while, fireworks were set off.

The plan to burn down the camps was successfully implemented, and the right wing of the barbarian army was completely engulfed in flames!

However, the final outcome was somewhat different from what Song Yuan had expected.

Luo Jia responded quickly at the critical moment. Although he still failed to change the final result, he greatly reduced the losses.

Under Luojia's command, many people rushed to rescue and successfully created a gap between the central army and the right wing.

This stopped the fire from spreading.

Even so, the fire still caused the barbarians to suffer great losses.

The camps of nearly 30,000 people were burned down, and most of the food and fodder were lost!

For the barbarians who were already short of food, such a change was simply adding insult to injury.

What’s more crucial is that while everyone was busy with rescue efforts, they could only watch helplessly as the Qin cavalry escaped unscathed.

This won't make the other party pay any price at all!

In front of the sea of ​​fire, Luo Jia's face flushed red as he looked at the flames shooting out in front of him. He felt weak all over.

After shaking for a while, Luo Jia finally sat on the ground in a daze.

He murmured, "I lost. I didn't expect that I would lose in the end!"

According to Luojia's idea, calligraphy has already occupied the right time, place and people, and will definitely be the final winner!

But he didn't expect that the trap that was supposed to restrain Song Yuan would become the reason for his defeat in the end!

Luo Jia had previously designed a trap for Song Yuan, but in the end, he was used against him!

Instead, Luo Jia reaped what he sowed and had to accept the defeat.

The camps for 30,000 troops, plus most of the food and fodder, without these things, how would he survive the rest of the time?

Thinking of the key to the whole thing, Luo Jia's pupils couldn't help but reveal a bit of distortion, and he silently uttered a name.

"Arub..."

As a general under the command of Zuo Xian Wang, the biggest reason why Luojia was in such a state of confusion this time was because of the defeat suffered by Arub!

If the enemy had not been defeated quickly and I had not been terrified, how could I have sent people to rescue them?

And if his right wing was not empty, even if Song Yuan wanted to burn down the entire camp, he would be doomed to fail in the end!

Thinking that the whole thing had implicated Luo Jia, murderous intent flashed in his eyes. At this moment, he wished he could cut Arub into pieces!

Only in this way can I vent the anger in my heart!

In grief and anger, Luo Jia suddenly turned around and glanced at the left wing military camp behind him.

In an instant, I felt a little confused.

Why did Song Yuan choose the right wing?

Why did they preserve the tents and food supplies on the left wing?

Logically speaking, Song Yuan would definitely wipe out the enemy completely when faced with such an opportunity. How could he hold back?

unless……

Thinking of this, Luo Jia suddenly had an idea. When he recalled the direction in which the Qin cavalry had left, his whole body trembled and his pupils dilated.

That group of people clearly wanted to take this opportunity to break through the siege, and their target was not one of the three border cities, but to bypass the heartland of the barbarians and head to the Peacock River near Mohai City!

Thinking of this, Luo Jia's pupils revealed a bit of despair.

At this point, if I want to send people to chase them, it’s probably too late!

Although the barbarians had noticed the Peacock River near Mohai City long ago, no more than 5,000 people remained there.

Most of them were warriors temporarily recruited from the tribe, so although they were brave, there was still some gap compared to the regular army!

These people are all infantry. When facing the elite cavalry of the Qin Dynasty, they will probably be completely defeated in just one encounter!

When he finally realized the outcome, Luo Jia clenched his fists fiercely with a bit of ruthlessness.

Song Yuan is such a cruel guy!

He had clearly burned the tents and food supplies, but in the end he was still not satisfied!

This guy is bold and careful.

Not only will he have to pay a price, but there is also a high possibility that he and his men will be stuck here forever!

Thinking of this possibility, Luo Jia shuddered and just wanted to seize the time to make up for his previous mistakes.

"Spread the word. Those who left the camp earlier must retreat immediately and free up 20,000 elite cavalry. I don't care what method you use, but you must rush to the edge of Mohai City as soon as possible!"

"If you're quick... maybe we can still make it in time!"

……

"Hahaha, it's comfortable, so comfortable!"

Just as the barbarian princess was feeling resentful, Wei Da, the leader of the cavalry, looked back at the sea of ​​fire behind him and felt that the depression in his heart suddenly dissipated.

Even the air around has become much fresher!

At this point, Song Yuan's plan was a complete success.

It was not just a matter of breaking through, but before leaving, they also taught the enemy a painful lesson, causing huge losses to the enemy!

Thinking of the princess's delicate appearance, Wei Da had no doubts.

The other party is probably going to cry again!

"Brother Wei, don't worry, there are better things to come!"

Song Yuan, who was riding on a horse, followed Wei Da closely. Noticing that Wei Da was in high spirits at the moment, he smiled and spoke.

"Don't forget, according to our original plan, there's still a big piece of fat meat waiting for us!"

"Yes, yes, yes, if you hadn't told me I would have almost forgotten it!"

Hearing Song Yuan's reminder, Wei Da's body trembled and his pupils showed a bit of crystal.

In an instant, it was as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and the horse under his crotch accelerated, as if he wanted to rush to the edge of Mohai City immediately.

Seeing Wei Da so anxious, Jin Lian beside Song Yuan couldn't help but shook her head and smiled.

As they got to know each other better, Jinlian had already seen Wei Da's character. Compared with the intrigues of other generals, Wei Da was a simple and straightforward person.

It is easier to make people feel good about you!

However, when Jinlian thought that Song Yuan might become an enemy of Wei Da in the future, her expression darkened.

I can only pray silently in my heart that the two of them will not become enemies in the end.

And just at this moment, a spy suddenly reported from the front.

"Your Highness, we've spotted a barbarian army transporting supplies ten miles ahead!"

Transporting supplies?

When Song Yuan heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he reacted in a moment!

Isn’t this the catapult that the princess mentioned before?

Thinking of the sharpness of the catapult, a golden light flashed in Song Yuan's pupils.

After explaining the matter to others, Wei Da was the first to clench his fist, and a fluorescent light seemed to burst out from his eyes.

He suggested, "I think this is an opportunity. Why don't we take him down?"

"Does that need to be said?"

Song Yuan nodded, agreeing directly with Wei Da's idea. Then he waved his hand and gave an order: "Follow my command, all troops, attack!"

"As long as they are barbarians, not a single one will be spared!"

As the saying goes, "kill you when you're ill." I had been blocked by the princess for a long time and was full of resentment.

Now that I have finally found a way to vent my anger, how can I be merciful?

Following Song Yuan's order, the entire army quickly moved into action.

A distance of several miles seemed almost within easy reach for the cavalry.

But in the blink of an eye, Song Yuan had led his team to the front of the barbarians!

The laborers who were transporting the baggage looked a little flustered when they saw the large group of people coming.

The morale of the entire team has dropped to its lowest point!

When the enemy was strong and we were weak, and there was a difference in morale, it only took a quarter of an hour.

A battle of encounter has come to an end, and Song Yuan once again led his men to a great victory!

The barbarians are naturally fierce. Even if they realize that the chances of winning are slim, they will still fight back in the end.

After the battle, more than a dozen of Song Yuan's men were injured.

However, thanks to the armor protecting his body, the injuries were only superficial.

After simply treating the wound, Song Yuan ordered everyone to set up camp, and then led a large number of troops to burn the parts of the catapult!

Afterwards, they slaughtered all the mules and horses that had been slaughtered before, and started roasting the meat directly over the campfire!

In his spare time, Song Yuan called over a veteran who had previously been stationed at Sanbian City and asked, "How far is the nearest of the two other cities from here?"

The man frowned slightly and gave an uncertain answer: "It should be another thirty or forty miles!"

This distance should be enough to reach us before dark!

It seems that I still have plenty of time to waste.

Thinking of this, Song Yuan narrowed his eyes and immediately asked, "Is there any place nearby that is easy to hide? For example, a valley or something like that, where we can conceal our tracks and set up an ambush!"

It’s a pity that Song Yuan’s idea was good, but the final result was still disappointing.

The old soldier shook his head and said, "Your Highness, it's a pity. I understand your thoughts, but there is no place nearby that can meet your needs!"

Hearing this, Song Yuan's expression darkened.

I originally wanted to make that barbarian princess pay more, but now it seems a bit of a pity.

In the eyes of Jinlian, who was standing by, Song Yuan's change seemed extremely audacious.

"Don't you want to hurry back? Why are you still planning an ambush now?"

"I'm just asking. Since there's no chance, forget it!"

Song Yuan waved his hand and explained casually, then turned around and pointed at the corpse in the distance and gave orders.

"Take off the clothes of these people, and then use the snow on the ground to clean the bloodstains on their clothes!"

Hearing Song Yuan's words, Jin Lian's pupils widened. "What do you want these people's clothes for? I see. You're not planning to attack other border towns, are you?"

Faced with such speculation, Song Yuan nodded directly.

"Don't forget, it's winter now. We traveled light before, and apart from dry food, we didn't even bring any tents!"

"If we don't capture the border town to keep out the cold, by nightfall, who knows how many of our tens of thousands of men will have died!"

The barbaric weather today is still far beyond what normal people can bear.

If there were no border town to block the cold wind, perhaps it would really be as Song Yuan said, and many people would not be able to get up in one night!

But Jinlian felt a little worried when she heard this: "Don't forget, that barbarian princess is no fool. She noticed the direction we left, so how could she not think of our goal?"

"Aren't you afraid that the pursuers will surround us in the city over there?"

"what are you thinking?"

Song Yuan smiled faintly and then began to explain.

"The weather is the same, and for the sake of speed, they will definitely choose to travel light!"

"Without tents, we can't camp outside the city. How can they be any stronger than us?"

"Thinking about besieging the city in this kind of horrible weather is simply courting death!"
