The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 428 Encounter with the baggage troops
It was a severe cold winter, and even the beasts such as Snowy Night could not withstand such a long journey, let alone Gu Yuzhi.

But except for the necessary rest time, Gu Yuzhi and his party were relentless in moving forward.

After marching for about half a month, they finally saw a Beidi army.

Mr. Huo led his guards to observe in front, and came back soon with a solemn expression: "Your Highness, this is the baggage troop!"

If the Beidi people want to invade the Sang Dynasty, they must want a quick victory, so the advance troops will not bring too many supplies. They can last for half a month at most. The follow-up troops only need to be able to keep up with the baggage troops.

After all, the people of Beidi would never have thought that His Highness would lead the beast army around and directly attack their base camp.

Mr. Huo continued: "Calculating the time, this should be their second batch of supplies, which is more than the first batch of supplies."

Gu Yuzhi's eyes lit up and he heard Mr. Huo say: "I made some estimates. Adding them up, the other party should have two thousand people."

The Beidi army was basically on the front line, and they believed that Beidi territory was safe, so only two thousand people were left.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuzhi's eyes brightened: "Mr. Huo, should we..."

He covered his mouth and smiled secretly, grinning slightly when the wound hurt, and quickly puffed up his face, only blinking at Mr. Huo with his big eyes.

From the very beginning of his study of the art of war, he knew that before the troops and horses moved, food and grass would go first.

Food and grass not only refer to things for people to eat, but also for horses.

The Beidi people have strong soldiers and horses, but war horses are not wild beasts and can hunt for food by themselves. If they are very hungry, they will definitely get sick!

As long as the Beidi people's cavalry falls, their infantry will have nothing to fear!
Therefore, they must burn these grains and grass!
Not only Gu Yuzhi, but also the other guards looked at Mr. Huo with burning eyes, as if they were about to go up and cause trouble now.

Mr. Huo pondered for a moment and said: "We must intercept this batch of luggage!"

Gu Yuzhi nodded his head repeatedly and urged: "Then what should we do?"

Mr. Huo raised his head and glanced at the sky: "The weather today is gloomy and there is heavy snow, but counting the time, it will be dark in half an hour at most."

"Your Highness, we need to go back again."

Gu Yuzhi rolled his eyes, pursed his lips and nodded: "I understand, they are walking slowly with food and grass, let's go around in front of them and make a trap to ambush them!"

In winter, the soil is frozen into lumps of ice, making it impossible to dig a hole, but they can use it as a simple tripping rope!
Gu Yuzhi touched Xue Ye's head and muttered: "Xue Ye, we will ambush the bad guys later. You must restrain yourself and don't scare those war horses!"

If the coercion of wild beasts frightens those war horses to their knees and the Beidi people notice it, then the success will be in vain.

After hearing this, Mr. Huo turned around and saw Xue Ye's green eyes full of grievances. He couldn't help but smile and whispered about the battle plan this time.

Gu Yuzhi nodded while listening, and made small suggestions from time to time. Within a moment of burning incense, everyone rushed back on the beast, and soon passed the Beidi escort army by a distance.

Mr. Huo led the guards in two groups and buried a thick hemp rope at a distance.

The soil could not move in winter, but fortunately it was covered with snow, and those traces quickly disappeared.

The next step is to wait patiently.

Gu Yuzhi lay on Xue Ye's big tail, his body was gently pressed by Xue Ye, and his whole body became warm, but the breath he exhaled was white, stained on his eyelashes and eyebrows, and instantly froze. He squeezed it gently with his hands, and the tiny pieces of ice fell down, making a very small sound.

Shu Xiaohan wanted to cry when she saw this, but it seemed that she had cried a lot during this period. Her nose was slightly sore but her tears could not flow out.

She said with amusement: "The young prince's eyebrows are stained with white frost, and he looks like a white-browed hero!"

Gu Yuzhi was about to ask who the White-Eyebrowed Hero was, and why he hadn't heard of this man's name the last time he was in Jiangnan, when he heard the call of the black kite. He raised his head instantly, and then lowered it quickly. But his hand was holding the hemp rope tightly.

Mr. Huo said during the discussion that the first cry of the black kite was to remind them that the other party had entered their ambush area.

When they hear the second call, they can take action.

Gu Yuzhi felt that his heart was about to beat out of his chest. He let out a long and gentle breath of relief and noticed that Xue Ye was gently rubbing against him.

He turned his head carefully and saw Xue Ye biting the hemp rope, her green eyes staring at him, as if you don't worry, I will definitely help you.

Only then did Gu Yuzhi laugh. He cautiously stepped forward and said softly: "There must be a lot of delicious meat and other things in Beidi's grain and grass. When we grab these things, we will give you a good meal."

Not only did they work hard during this period, but the Beast Legion also worked hard, and Gu Yuzhi remembered them all.

I originally thought that when I got to the Beidi people's territory, I would let them have fun.

Anyway, Beidi has a lot of cattle, sheep and horses.

Who would have known that this wish would come true before we even get there.

It happened that the baggage train had passed by Gu Yuzhi at this moment. Listening to the heavy sound of the wheels, Gu Yuzhi couldn't help but look up and looked at the opponent's horse. Gu Yuzhi couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

This horse is much taller and more powerful than the Mobei Army's.

Just as Gu Yuzhi was thinking about it, he heard the second call of the black kite.

He subconsciously tightened his grip on the hemp rope and pulled on it desperately. His face turned red. Xue Ye bit the hemp rope and took two steps back. The hemp rope hidden in the snow quickly popped out.

Accompanied by the painful neighing of the war horses, Xue Ye and other beasts no longer hid, howling and rushing towards the Beidi escort.

These Beidi people never thought that they would be attacked here, let alone what they saw were wild beasts!

War is about to break out!
Gu Yuzhi rode on Xue Ye and quickly rushed towards the Beidi warrior. Before the man could react, he killed him with a sword.

As the first enemy fell, Gu Yu Zhicai raised his voice and said: "My sons, follow me to kill the enemy! Don't let anyone go!"

The Beidi Army of 2,000 people faced off against the Raid Army of 20 people. This was originally a sure win.

However, Gu Yu knew that there was an army of beasts here. When these beasts howled, those war horses that had experienced hundreds of battles could no longer resist, and even fled for their lives. There was no way to assist these Beidi people in the battle.

Some people from Beidi saw Xue Ye and yelled for a while, then suddenly knelt down. Then, more and more people from Beidi knelt down.

Gu Yuzhi turned to look at Mr. Huo, only to see Mr. Huo riding an iron-eating beast expressionlessly harvesting the lives of Beidi people...
