Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!

Chapter 315: Sheep Encountering Wolves

Near noon, a group of cavalry came rushing towards Murong’s camp like lightning.

After they rushed into the camp, they shouted loudly: "Emergency news!"

Before he finished speaking, he hurried straight to Murong Bai's tent.

"What?" Murong Bai jumped up in anger after seeing the report. He shouted anxiously, "Pass the order down. We will immediately withdraw a hundred miles."

In an instant, everyone in the Murong family took action, and the Duan family's camp also fell into a panic.

"What's going on?" Duan Rui looked anxious and hurried over to ask the head of the family, Duan Yu.

"One hundred thousand troops appeared on both sides, forming a siege." Duan Yu suddenly realized that Guo Yaoshi's move was a strategic tactic to lure the enemy into deep.

Pharmacist Guo also sent out scouts in the morning. When he learned that the enemy had not moved, he ordered his men to prepare for defense.

Suddenly, they heard that Qin Lian's army had arrived, bringing supplies with them.

"General, you've worked so hard. Our army still has enough food and fodder to last for ten days. There's no need to travel so far!"

Pharmacist Guo pretended to come out of the camp to greet him, and spoke politely when he saw Qin Lian.

Qin Lian wore a half-smile on his face as he said, "General Guo has been working so hard. He's driven away wolves and whipped tigers. How can we not express our congratulations?"

Qin Lian's words left Pharmacist Guo baffled for a moment, and he secretly wondered, "Am I really that powerful? How come I didn't know about this?"

"Report! General Murong's soldiers are missing!" The scout in the camp came to report again.

"What? These bastards are so vulnerable!" Upon hearing this, Pharmacist Guo pretended to be angry and cursed.

"I'm telling you that the Commander-in-Chief has made great contributions, yet you're still so modest. This shouldn't be the case!" Qin Lian said with a forced smile, "Orders are sent to replenish some mutton today to reward the army."

Wang Meng and others who came over looked at each other in confusion, not understanding how they had deserved such a reward.

Another night of laughter and joy.

Although they did not experience a life-and-death battle, they were able to eat delicious food as they wished. How could these soldiers who followed Pharmacist Guo not be happy?

The next day, Pharmacist Guo, with a tired look on his face, ordered the army to march forward.

He never expected that hundreds of thousands of people from the Murong tribe would evacuate in such a hurry without moving a single soldier.

This is also a helpless move.

After walking another two hundred miles with great effort, they encountered the Murong family's tribe again.

"Chief, we can't go any further north. That's the Xiongnu's territory. We've already crossed the border."

A general said reluctantly, his expression full of worry.

The Murong family and the Duan family had been chased for two days and two nights, and dissatisfaction had already spread among the crowd.

"We sent people to scout, but this time we saw no reinforcements within a hundred miles."

Another general hurried forward to report.

"How far away are the enemy troops from us?"

Murong Bai asked with a frown.

"They are now stationed thirty miles outside of us, with a water source nearby."

"Go and tell Clan Leader Duan Yu to come over and tell him I want to eat fish today."

"Order!"

Seeing Murong Bai gritting his teeth, everyone knew that there must be plans for a big battle tonight.

About half an hour later, Duan Yu hurried over with his soldiers.

"Captain, I heard you want to..."

Before Duan Yu could finish his words, Murong Bai waved his hand impatiently and said, "We missed the opportunity last time, and today we must avenge our previous defeat. We have received intelligence that there are no large forces within a hundred miles of Pharmacist Guo's rear."

"What are you waiting for? Kill him!" Duan Yu pulled off his right sleeve, revealing his strong muscles, and shouted loudly.

"Don't be in a hurry. We've been busy all the way. Rest for two hours and eat some food before taking any action!" Murong Bai showed that obscene smile again, his face full of greed.

Ahhh...

As if having some strange perception, Pharmacist Guo suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and looked up at the grassland which had already cooled down in the evening.

"We will retreat another ten miles. The vanguard camp will remain here, and Wang Kun will also stay."

What he meant was that he and Guo Zian should retreat ten miles.

……

When Guo Zian passed by in the afternoon, he saw a flock of sheep, so he took his men to chase them. It turned out to be a group of about seventy or eighty elderly people, women and children.

They brought their families with them, including several beautiful women.

"Go ahead, take all the food and women away from me." Guo Zian gave the order with a fierce look in his eyes.

The soldiers, who had eaten two meals of meat, were exhausted from traveling for the past two days. When they saw the flocks of sheep and several cows pulling carts, all they had in their eyes was the delicious taste of meat.

With Guo Zian's order, they ignored military discipline and rushed forward like hungry wolves.

The fleeing people were a branch of the Duan clan. When they saw that someone was robbing people and sheep, they immediately fell into chaos and fierce resistance.

"Kill them all, kill all the rebels." Guo Zian ordered again fiercely.

What kind of leader you have, what kind of soldiers you will have.

With Guo Zian backing them up, these soldiers had nothing to worry about.

In an instant, a group of people fell to the ground.

The cries and scolding were endless.

Guo Zian and his soldiers roared arrogantly to the sky.

After the butchers left, a middle-aged man with minor injuries crawled out from the pile of corpses.

He fainted because he was stabbed twice and hit in the head by a gun during the fight. When he should have finished off the wound, another member of the tribe rose up to resist, stabbed him, and fell on top of him.

He was covered in blood, making it impossible to tell whether he was still alive.

Maybe his life was not meant to be cut off.

After stumbling along for two hours, he met a member of the Duan family on the way. Seeing that he was dressed in the customary style of his family, he questioned him and finally understood the whole story.

"I'm going to kill these vicious dogs of the Guo family army."

A soldier was from this tribe. Upon hearing this, he bared his teeth and growled angrily.

Because they were on a march, they couldn't make loud noises or stay for long, so they had to bandage the middle-aged man, point him in a direction, and let him leave alone.

This time, the vanguard camp was fifty miles away from Murong's army, and it would take two hours to walk even during the day.

The night march lasted three hours before they reached the vanguard camp of the Guowei Army.

"Rest for an hour and then start the action in the second half of the night."

As soon as the order was given, both Murong's army and Duan's army were resting on the spot.

"Have you checked it out?"

The middle route was led by Murong Mang. He looked at the scout who came back to report and asked with a nervous expression.

"There is a large camp of about 50,000 people in front, but there are only more than 20,000 people on the right and 20,000 on the left."

Murong Mang frowned, full of doubts, and muttered to himself, "Why is the total number of people so much less?"

Not only Murong Mang was confused, but also the right-wing army led by Duan Rui.

This time they were divided into only two groups to attack the camp on foot, and the other group was cavalry.

Just wait for the fighting to start on their side, and the cavalry will charge towards the fire...
