Chapter 149 The Northern Barbarian Army Begins Its Move (Sheep Leave the Pen, Wolves Hunt)
A few days later.
The Northern Barbarian army was thrown into chaos.
An army of 30 broke away from the Northern Barbarian army and headed west without taking anything with them.
"Your Highness, the Right Wise King of the Northern Barbarians has already led his troops away."
Liu Yu received the news immediately and came to report to Qin Wu.
"After planning for so long, we've finally made it happen."
Qin Wu sneered.
"Send word to Han Fu, tell him to have some fun with the Right Wise King. 30 troops will be enough for him to enjoy himself to the fullest this time."
Qin Wu gestured to one of his personal guards to relay an order to the demon general Fu Hua.
"Your Highness, what about us? Should we give chase?"
Qi Ye asked.
"Why are you chasing me? Isn't it fun here?"
Qin Wu remained silent.
For some reason, Qi Ye has been wanting to send troops to fight the Northern Barbarians lately.
It's as if he can't sit still at all, completely different from his usual state.
Qi Ye was completely stunned by Qin Wu's question.
Isn't this place fun?
What do you mean?
"Your Highness, why did you send out the army ahead of schedule, and in small groups at that? What is the meaning of this?"
Han Fu was somewhat puzzled. Now that all the northern barbarian tribes within a hundred miles had been wiped out, there was no need to disperse the army further.
Especially after the Northern Barbarian army retreated into their huts.
"Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough."
Qin Wu said slowly.
After Liu Yu returned, he became increasingly adept at gathering intelligence on the Northern Barbarians.
After all, Liu Yu was in charge of compiling and organizing intelligence on the Northern Barbarians, and her understanding was much more detailed than that of Liu Feng and the others.
Moreover, he was waiting for news, news that made the Barbarian King anxious.
Fu Hua quickly received Qin Wu's order.
Fu Hua immediately began to arrange his troops and issued a series of orders.
Three days later, Fu Hua began to attack the Right Wise King after he had traveled more than a hundred miles away.
The Right Wise King immediately spread the news to the barbarian king and his men.
Northern Barbarian Camp.
After the barbarian king received the message.
"Hahaha, the Zhenbei Army has indeed made its move. It's time for us to counterattack."
The Northern Barbarian King laughed loudly.
They used 300,000 troops as bait, and the Zhenbei Army finally couldn't sit still any longer and wanted to devour these 300,000 troops.
"Have all the Zhenbei Army troops appeared?"
The Left Wise King inquired cautiously.
He was worried that Qin Wu was plotting against them.
After all, Qin Wu was cunning and scheming, and they had been outmaneuvered by him many times over the years of fighting against the Zhenbei Army.
They suffered too many losses at Qin Wu's hands.
"The message from the Right Wise King says that the entire Zhenbei Army has appeared and is currently in a standoff with them, so the message should be accurate."
"The barbarian king said."
After all, this was a very important matter, and the Barbarian King believed that the Right Wise King would never joke with them.
Upon hearing this, the Left Wise King was relieved.
Little did they know, they had still been deceived.
What the Right Wise King saw was merely a feint by Fu Hua.
If the Right Wise King had been bolder and launched an attack directly, he would have discovered that the military camp was almost entirely made up of dummies.
Even the people on night watch were almost all dummies.
Real people harass them during the day, while mannequins stand guard at night, and only a small number of people are sent out to patrol.
If the Right Wise King knew, he would probably be furious.
"In that case, we should make our move. It will take us a few days to catch up with the Right Wise King."
"The Left Wise King said."
After all, their army also had to carry supplies, so their marching speed couldn't be too fast.
"Alright, pass on the order: the army should pack up immediately and prepare to depart."
The barbarian king didn't want to waste time either.
Their battle with the Zhenbei Army had lasted far too long.
If this continues, they simply cannot afford to drag it out any longer.
Now, not only their army, but also various departments within the country have begun to experience instability.
They must end this war as soon as possible and return home to stabilize the situation.
They were not worried about the lost territory, as it was impossible for Eastern Qin to maintain a long-term presence in their territory.
Once the Eastern Qin army withdraws, they can reclaim those territories.
While they were celebrating, they were unaware that a fire had broken out behind them.
Both royal courts are now in chaos.
Upon receiving the barbarian king's order, the army immediately sprang into action, and three hours later, they set off directly towards the location of the Right Wise King.
The Zhenbei Army barracks.
"Your Highness, the Northern Barbarian army has set off."
Liu Yu strode into the main tent and reported to Qin Wu.
"The time has come. Issue my order: the sheep have left the pen; it's time to hunt them."
Qin Wu did not hesitate at all and gave the order directly.
His army had been in place for a long time, just waiting for this opportunity.
Now the northern barbarians have finally emerged.
"Yes."
The surrounding generals immediately obeyed and left.
They all understood what Qin Wu meant.
This means it's time to begin operations against the Northern Barbarian army.
After Qin Wu's military order was issued, the entire garrisoned army was mobilized.
An hour later, Qin Wu led his 100,000-strong army directly to the border.
They headed towards the northern barbarian army.
The next day.
Qin Wu and his men finally saw the Northern Barbarian army.
"Your Highness, the supply train of the Northern Barbarian army is just ahead."
A scout reported to Qin Wu.
"Okay, continue monitoring."
Qin Wu nodded.
"By my order, all men shall follow me in the charge, and retreat immediately after killing the enemy for a quarter of an hour."
Qin Wu directly issued the order.
The messengers behind him immediately ran off in all directions to relay Qin Wu's orders.
Military orders are being relayed.
Qin Wu led his troops directly to charge into the rear of the Northern Barbarian army.
At this time, the Northern Barbarian army was unprepared, after all, they had received news that the Zhenbei Army was currently in a standoff with the Right Wise King's army.
This area is considered the heartland of the Northern Barbarians, so other large armies won't be able to launch surprise attacks on them.
Little did they know that those confronting the Right Wise King were almost all dummies, and that the real Zhenbei Army was targeting them.
By the time the northern barbarians realized something was wrong, Qin Wu had already led his troops close in.
"kill."
Qin Wu roared.
He then charged ahead into the Northern Barbarians' supply train.
With a single sweep of his spear, he instantly killed several people.
This also signaled the start of the massacre.
Originally a supply convoy, its combat strength was low, and it couldn't even put up a fight when facing the elite 100,000-strong Zhenbei Army.
The situation here was immediately relayed to the front.
However, the army was too large and the lines were too long. By the time the barbarian king and his men received the news, Qin Wu and his men had already carried out a massacre.
The soldiers each carried a bag of provisions and left, disappearing from the sight of the Northern Barbarian army once again.
"Damn it, what's going on here?"
The barbarian king roared angrily as he looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground and the mess of loot insects.
"Your Majesty, it was the Zhenbei Army that attacked us."
A general covered in blood reported to the barbarian king.
They were the army closest to the supply train, and upon discovering the situation, they immediately led their troops to provide support.
As a result, his men suffered heavy losses, but he failed to stop the Zhenbei Army.
"The Northern Garrison? Are you sure?"
When the barbarian king heard that it was the Zhenbei Army that had attacked them, he could hardly believe it.
Their message is that the Zhenbei Army is currently in a standoff with the Right Wise King.
"how many?"
The Left Wise King also arrived and overheard the general saying that he had been ambushed by the Zhenbei Army.
"The exact number is unclear, but it is at least tens of thousands, and all of them are elite cavalry, definitely the elite cavalry among the Zhenbei Army. According to the information provided by my subordinates, the commander is the Divine Martial King of Dongqin."
The general reported this.
"Go and bandage your wound first."
When the Left Wise King saw that the general's arm was still bleeding, he told him to go and bandage the wound first.
