Chapter 68 - A Great Victory

"Really, this is really good news" Outside this mountain stream, the five thousand cavalry led by Chen Yi were preparing to intercept the reinforcements sent by the feudal state. But they really didn't expect that the battle in this valley would be over in such a short time. Chen Yi, who was riding on a white horse, was listening to Zheng Feng's personal guard who came out of this mountain stream to report the situation to him at this moment.

Chen Yi is very relieved that the current situation is not as complicated as he thought. The battle in front of him has been resolved in a short period of time, so next, Chen Yi is also looking forward to what kind of reaction the feudal army will have after hearing the news.

"In that case, can you tell me how many strategic materials your former army has captured?" Compared to the results of the previous battle, Chen Yi was now more concerned about this. After all, this was the first time that their Qi State had fought against the feudal state in another land, although it was suspected of being opportunistic. But the truth is that the victor can write history every time. At this time, these are the resources they have the most at their disposal.

The Zheng Feng guard in front of him smiled, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face. "General Qiyu, we haven't made preparations and calculations yet. However, according to my preliminary estimates, the grain is at least about 100,000 stones, and the other weapons and armor have not been greatly calculated. However, it is estimated that it is not a problem to be able to equip 30,000 or 40,000 troops. ”

Chen Yi smiled slightly, what he was most concerned about now was what could give them practical benefits at this time. Since the guard of Zheng Feng in front of him now said such words, it also proves that he was right in some ways to make this decision.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi smiled, and waved the horsewhip in his hand, "Let's go into the valley!" After shouting this sentence, Chen Yi had already whipped on the side of his horse, speeding up the speed of the horse under his crotch and rushing directly into this mountain stream.

Five thousand elite cavalry followed the general in front of them and rushed all the way into the mountain stream. In an instant, dust was rising from the edge of the surrounding mountain stream, and the cavalry rushed into the mountain stream with incredible speed.

When the cavalry entered the center of the mountain stream, the mountain stream was basically quiet, and the 5,000 infantry were assigned 1,000 to take care of the current feudal army. The other 4,000 men were in full swing sorting out the hundreds of oxen and wagons and the food and armor on the oxen and wagons, and some of the soldiers were also quickly arranging the armor and weapons on the wagons one by one. Naturally, they also saw the horses rushing towards here from outside the mountain stream. The one of the generals at the head was none other than Chen Yi, their commander of the army.

There were already soldiers who had already passed the news to their general Zheng Feng, and Zheng Feng did not dare to slack off at all. As soon as he heard the news, he had already taken several guards to the place where the soldiers had gathered. At this moment, Chen Yi just arrived here quickly, Zheng Feng stepped forward and hugged his fists and saluted deeply: "The last general, Zheng Feng, has seen the general." ”

Chen Yi jumped off the horse as soon as he jumped, and he held up Zheng Feng, who bowed and saluted. smiled and said, "No need to be polite. This time you have made a great contribution, and I will naturally go with the general to repay the merit. This is the reward you deserve. ”

Zheng Feng was overjoyed, since Chen Yiken said this, they must have made a great contribution this time, and they will be rewarded very richly. Thinking of this, Zheng Feng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The last general is willing to take the general to see what we have gained now." ”

Chen Yi nodded, this was what he really cared about. Although the 50,000 Qi army is not short of armor now. But such a seizure is tantamount to a blow to the original plan of the feudal state and the imperial Chen family in all aspects. So, what they have to do now is to take stock of what they have gained now. Prepare to make a deal with the feudal state. This is the plan that Chen Yi has in mind now. This batch of armor and weapons, as well as some food and prisoners, is indeed a very important material. Thinking of this, Chen Yi ordered the cavalry troops who followed him to rest on the spot, and they prepared the current situation here and prepared to withdraw their troops back to the camp of Qi State. After all, this is a place of right and wrong, and it may be a little risky for their 10,000 troops to stay here a little longer.

Zheng Feng took Chen Yi and his guards to the most concentrated place in the middle of the mountain stream, where hundreds of captured cattle and sheep carriages were gathered, and it could be clearly seen that these cattle and sheep carriages were carrying a very considerable amount of armor. At this time, the soldiers here are engaged in the intense operation of cleaning up and counting the number of armor and weapons. Every soldier was now in a state of hustle and bustle, and every time they counted the number of weapons and armor on a wagon or ox cart, they reported it to an officer who was taking notes. And the officer was quietly counting the numbers, and at the same time, he was also observing the situation in front of him. Make sure you can do it at this time.

At this time, Zheng Feng and Chen Yi walked over, and they were followed by dozens of personal guards, and the officer who was now counting the number and the soldiers around him naturally knew them, and all the soldiers hurriedly stopped what they were doing. He bowed and saluted: "I've seen General Chen Yi, I've seen General Zheng Feng!"

"Brethren excuse me. We are all family, so we don't have to be so polite. This time, you have made a great contribution, I will report to the general, and I will not treat you brothers badly!" Chen Yi smiled slightly, and said in a very kind tone to the more than a thousand Qi soldiers in front of him. "Thank you, General!" these soldiers all showed deep anticipation in their eyes, after all, this was the first time that the Qi State had launched a battle on the Xuanling Continent. Although the scale is small, it has achieved very good results. They can be regarded as meritorious heroes.

At this time, the officer, who was originally counting the number, walked over quickly, bowed and said, "I've seen two generals." ”

"Xing Cao doesn't need to be polite, can you tell us how many weapons and armor we have here now?" Chen Yi knew that this officer, he was the marching Cao among the 5,000 elite infantry troops of the former army, and he was mainly in charge of this kind of post-war statistics. Although he also has martial arts, he is the one who does not usually participate in combat. Chen Yi still attaches more importance to him, is more stable in dealing with people, and is a very clear and malleable talent.

"General," said the liner, raising the number he had roughly recorded in his hand, and said with some excitement, "according to our current calculations, we have captured a total of 110,000 stone of grain in this ambush campaign. There are also tens of thousands of armor weapons, of which spears and short blades are the main weapons. According to the approximate estimates of the lowly position, we now have enough weapons to equip an army of 60,000 men. In other words, what we have now is the weapons and armor that an army of 60,000 people can use. ”

Chen Yi nodded, this result was indeed what he wanted to see very much. "In that case, what we need to do now. That is, to transport this batch of weapons and armor directly back to the camp of Qi State, maybe it will not be long before the feudal country will take the initiative to send an envoy to make peace with us, wanting to redeem the results of this defeat at a certain cost. General Zheng, order your brothers to transport all these weapons and armor back to the Qi camp after the inventory is completed. Don't delay in the slightest!"

"Obedience!"

Half an hour later, all the prepared Qi troops quickly withdrew from the mountain stream, transporting this batch of materials they had captured to the Qi military camp. However, Chen Yi still secretly ordered his two guards to stay on the edge of the mountain stream to check the situation and see if the feudal army came to help at the first time? From this, it can be very clearly seen whether the feudal state attaches importance to this batch of materials.

Unexpectedly, less than half an hour after they had left the mountain stream, a cavalry team of more than 10,000 people came to the outside of the mountain stream with a whip wrapped in the surrounding dust. The commander of this army is the commander of the army this time, the commander of the army on the Xuanling Continent this time, Gongsun Yu, the governor of Lingcheng. Although Chen Yi's two personal soldiers didn't know each other, judging from his dress and attitude towards leading the army, this was at least a deputy general who commanded 10,000 people, but they really didn't expect that Gongsun Yu would personally lead the army to check the situation.

It's a pity that now Gongsun Yu's cavalry has rushed here, but they still don't have time to catch up with the current action here. The battlefield that had already been cleared did not show the slightest trace of battle. This made Gongsun Yu very puzzled, according to the calculation of time, this transport force should have arrived here an hour ago. But now the situation here is completely confusing to him.

"General, what should we do? These weapons and armor are very important and even indispensable to us!"

Gongsun Yu sighed secretly, he didn't understand the grim consequences of the current situation on them. It's just that he still has a hint of luck, he always feels that this transport army will not disappear for no reason, and there must be a deeper reason for this. So, Gongsun Yu lowered his head and pondered for a while, then turned around and whispered to the two guards beside him: "I'm afraid the current situation is not as bad as we imagined, but it is indeed a little tricky, in this case, you immediately order all the patrols in the camp, and immediately dispatch to me, be sure to see people alive and corpses when you die!"

"Yes!"

Staring at the figure of his guards walking away, Gongsun Yu couldn't help but sigh secretly, now that the battle has not started, there is such a thing. If this matter is not handled well, how can he explain it to His Majesty the Holy Emperor?
