Chapter 217 Heavy casualties
The war has been delayed until February of the following year.
The weather has become warmer, and most parts of the country in the country have begun to enter spring.
In Yuzhou, it snowed heavily a few days ago.
Inside and outside the pass, there is a vast white area.
Both sides have been quiet for less than half a month.
Most of the troops of Miao Han Kingdom had not withdrawn. They could not get a good job here, so they turned their attention to Hongyang Pass.
Since last month, the war at Jiayang Pass has declined significantly, and occasional small raids have been quickly resolved.
However, there were heavy casualties at Hongyang Pass at this time.
The one who guards Hongyang Pass is nothing but the Seventh Prince.
Earlier, the seventh prince was stationed in the border gate and was always praised as a filial son and a good general. That was because there was no major war before Hongyang Pass.
Now that I am really in big trouble, the Seventh Prince's real combat level is reflected.
"Your Highness, you just counted it. We suffered heavy casualties this time, and the remaining troops are less than 30,000."
The seventh prince's eyes were red.
It was not because of the soldiers of the dead soldiers, but because they realized the gap between themselves and Qin Zicheng.
How could he bear this?
They are both legitimate sons and are guarding the border. Now, he has become someone's foil!
It would be fine if no one had praised him before.
But before, even though people were holding him to a high place, now, he fell to the ground terrible.
Can you not be angry?
"Seeking help!" The Seventh Prince had no choice but to grit his teeth and order.
Asking for help means failure!
When they were suddenly attacked, 20,000 troops were transferred from Jiayang Pass.
Later, the imperial court sent 50,000 troops, and the mission of Jiayang Pass was tight, so he transferred the people back.
But now, there are only more than 30,000 soldiers and horses left in Hongyang Pass, which is even worse.
Qin Zicheng naturally received a secret report. Even if he had a brilliant plan for the war in Hongyang Pass, it would be useless.
"Seventh brother is too proud and stubborn. He is always petty, but he pretends to be generous in terms of face. I had hinted that my people would give him advice, but after being rejected twice in a row, I had no choice."
Qin Zicheng felt uncomfortable when he thought of the dead soldiers.
"Now the other party is staring at Hongyang Pass tightly. The imperial army is not sent down so quickly. What are your plans next?"
Qin Zicheng's throat moved slightly, and after a while, it seemed that he had made a major decision.
"Suck the troops of Miao Han Kingdom here and wipe out all!"
Feng Wuyao's eyes lit up, and she knew that Qin Zicheng was not the one who just waited for the opportunity to come.
Now Hongyang Pass has suffered heavy losses. Even if the seventh prince asked the court for help, the troops would not be transferred so quickly.
Moreover, without the emperor's order, Qin Zicheng could not have mobilized his troops to other passes without his imperial order.
"How are you going to get their attention?"
"Give him back to him with his own way." Qin Zicheng sneered, "Are you only allowed them to attack?"
Feng Wuyao raised his eyebrows. If they attacked now, the risk would be very high.
Not to mention that the opponent's main force is currently stationed outside Hongyang Pass, and once it is discovered, it is even more difficult for their small group of soldiers to escape.
"How to raid? Now the city is covered with white space, how can we hide the traces?"
