Chapter 471 The Wind Rider is coming, the Khitans are going to withdraw
After walking for more than ten miles with the Youwei Army, two brave generals in the army, Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang, both discovered that something was wrong.
The two looked back at the rear of the army and felt as if someone was following them.
"Cunxi, it seems like someone is following us." Li Yuanfang said with a frown.
"How did you find out?" Li Cunxi looked back and asked in confusion.
"It's a hunch. I always feel that someone is watching us in the darkness."
"Brother Yuanfang, Brother Jinghui, the two of you should investigate secretly to find out who is following us."
"it is good."
"Cunxi, can you lend me your sword?" Hu Jinghui said with strange eyes.
"take it."
Li Cunxi took off the Youlan sword and scabbard from his waist and threw them to Hu Jinghui.
Li Yuanfang and Hu Jinghui turned a corner and entered the woods.
In order to avoid being exposed while riding horses, they gave up their horses and only took the chain knives and orchid swords that they were good at.
Li Yuanfang and Hu Jinghui sneaked into the forest and hid quietly in the woods. Not long after, they saw more than a hundred Wind Riders following the Right Guard.
"Didn't this wind rider follow Prince Helu back to the Dulu tribe?" Hu Jinghui frowned.
"It looks like he has bad intentions. Maybe he's coming for Cunxi." Li Yuanfang clenched the chain knife, ready to take action.
"Don't worry, Yuan Fang. These people are quite capable. It's too difficult for the two of us to kill them all, not to mention the leader."
"What should we do? These people are following Cunxi and his friends. They are always a threat to him."
"Let's take a shortcut and catch up with Cunxi first."
The two men reached an agreement, used their Qing Kung Fu skills, and took a shortcut to catch up with the 25,000-strong army of Youwei.
Seeing the opportunity, the two men jumped on their horses and turned around and said:
"It's the wind rider from the Turkic Duolu tribe. Wulezhi is here too."
Li Cunxi had no expression on his face:
"I think they are coming for me, but I don't know if they want to kill me to prevent future troubles."
"However, with a large army protecting them, they probably don't have the courage to fight alone, otherwise they would have come and captured me by force."
Li Cunxi's analysis was not without reason. The wind riders who had been following him all the way did not dare to get too close, nor did they dare to stay too far away.
If they wanted to take action, Wulezhi was afraid that all of them would fail.
If we don't do it, we won't be able to complete the order given by Prince Helu.
They could only watch Li Cunxi from afar, hoping that one day Li Cunxi would let down his guard and be left alone so that they could capture him and take him back to the Dulu Five Tribes.
Half an hour later, Li Cunxi and others entered Chongzhou City.
The Wind Rider did not show up, and could only watch from afar as Li Cunxi entered the city under the protection of everyone.
"I just don't believe that you will never be alone."
"Li Cunxi, talents like you should be used by the Dulu Five Tribes."
"It would be a waste of talent like you to stay in the Great Zhou."
Wulezhi drew his sword and stood on his horse, turning his horse around.
"Walk."
……
Li Cunxi talked with Wang Xiaojie for half an hour, and the scarred man finally accepted Zhao Wenhui's fate.
The Khitan Li Jinzhong and Sun Wanrong wanted to kill Zhao Wenhui, and Zhao Wenhui ran over to die, so there was nothing he could do.
Everyone gladly accepted the result of tonight, except Huang Zhen, the deputy general of Yingzhou Guard who was replaced by Li Cunxi, who sat in the corner and cried violently.
Li Cunxi didn't know how to comfort Huang Zhen. In order to avoid making Huang Zhen more uncomfortable with inappropriate words, he had to turn a deaf ear and drink one cup of hot wine after another.
At three quarters past the hour of Yin, Li Cunxi glanced at the gray sky outside and knew that something big was going to happen next, so he simply asked Wang Xiaojie for a quilt and slept in the central army tent with his clothes on.
When he woke up, it was already bright. Wang Xiaojie stood in front of the sand table thinking about how to deal with the Khitan attack. Except for Su Honghui and Song Wuji who were transferred to the military camp outside the city, all other generals had already arrived at the central military tent.
"Everyone, what time is it?"
Li Cunxi turned over and sat up, asking everyone.
"Cunxi, are you awake? It's already morning, you must be hungry, right? I've asked someone to bring some food, you just have to make do with it for now, the food in the barracks can't compare to what you have at your camp after all."
Wang Xiaojie said this with a smile, called the soldiers over, and ordered them to prepare food.
"Brother, what are you looking at?"
Li Cunxi put on his shoes and robe, then walked to the sand table and stood still.
Wang Xiaojie pointed to the chess piece representing Chongzhou City, and then pointed to the Khitan military camp outside the city and the military camp where the former Yingzhou Guard was located.
The soldiers guarding the two places are all Youwei soldiers. After Zhao Wenhui's disastrous defeat last night, the two Youwei armies are now fighting more and more conservatively.
If the Khitan army attacks again, the other side will only see the same defensive formation as the Iron Turtle.
"Li Jinzhong and Sun Wanrong have no room to retreat. If they attack recklessly, I'm afraid the Right Guard will also suffer heavy losses."
Wang Xiaojie's scarred face shows his ruthlessness.
"Humph, even if the Right Guards suffer heavy losses, it will be worth it as long as we can eat them all."
"The Khitans under their command will die at the hands of our Right Guards sooner or later."
Li Cunxi looked at it for a long time without saying anything.
That night, the Khitans only killed Zhao Wenhui, which served as a warning to other Yingzhou guards who captured people alive instead of killing them.
He felt that the Khitans were most likely going to retreat. They had no way out and could only choose to plunder to sustain their survival.
Da Zhou was one of their plundering targets, and they also had other plundering targets, such as...
The Turks who allowed the Zhou Dynasty to pass through their territory.
Li Jinzhong's defeat in the Battle of Dongxieshi Valley was also due to the interference of the Turks.
A smart person like Sun Wanrong, since he knows that he can't get what he wants from Da Zhou, will definitely choose to get what he wants from others.
Now this other person can only be the Turks.
The target of Li Jinzhong and Sun Wanrong, without exception, could only be the five Dulu tribes, nicknamed the five warlike Turkic tribes.
Although the five Dulu tribes are known as the five warlike tribes, the elite level of their soldiers is really worrying.
Prince Helu is so arrogant every day, why doesn't he dare to rebel directly?
It’s because the soldiers under his command are no match for the three Tiger Division armies.
Now the three Tiger Division armies all obey Jili Khan, and causing trouble for Jili Khan is tantamount to asking for trouble.
Therefore, Li Cunxi concluded that the next target of Li Jinzhong and Sun Wanrong must be the five tribes of Dulu.
"Cunxi, what do you think?"
Wang Xiaojie, who was looking at the sand table with a frown, suddenly asked Li Cunxi.
All the generals also looked towards Li Cunxi, hoping that this smart and wise young talent could give them advice, just like the horn strategy proposed before.
Li Cunxi came back to his senses, pointed at the Khitan military camp and said:
"In three days at most, the Khitans will return all the captured soldiers of Yingzhou Guard to us, and then withdraw their troops on their own initiative, as a sign of seeking peace with us."
"They know better than us that if they continue to fight, they will not gain anything."
"This war is considered to be evenly matched."
