Huyanlianlu had just left for a moment when a Turkic scout quickly ran into Huyanjunyao's tent holding a command flag.
"Report! Report to the Great Khan. While the men were resting, Dalong's infantry, under the cover of Dalong's cavalry, once again ran west to the shallow river beach about three miles away and stationed themselves in a defensive line."
"Shallow beach?"
Huyan Yunyao hurriedly observed on the sand table, frowning when she looked at the topography of the shallow river beach on the sand table.
"Second brother, the terrain here is very unfavorable to our cavalry! If they attack again, their infantry can pose a greater threat to our tribesmen based on the favorable terrain."
Hu Yanyu lowered his head and muttered for a while: "I think what we should consider now is not the disadvantages of the shallow river beach to us. I think we should now confirm the purpose of Dalong's troops to detour towards Ganzhou."
"After every battle, they must more or less evacuate a certain distance to Ganzhou. Their troops are concentrated together, and we can only effectively kill some soldiers and horses on the periphery. It has been two days, and their main force has not suffered a major blow. s damage."
"What is there in Ganzhou that makes them rush towards Ganzhou even if they fight and retreat at the same time!"
"Soldiers and horses? A trap set?"
"Their actions have shown that Ganzhou must have something to give them confidence!"
Huyan Yunyao gently rubbed her white and tender palms: "Soldiers and horses? Impossible. According to the intelligence, there are only two soldiers in Ganzhou guarding Ganzhou, and the number is less than 40,000."
"If it is an elite soldier, I should be careful. If it is an auxiliary soldier, we have nothing to pay attention to."
"As for traps, look at the sand table for yourself. Ganzhou cannot compare with Yunzhou in terms of terrain and landforms. If you want to set traps, you should choose the area around Yunzhou City. The terrain outside Ganzhou City is more open than Yunzhou. On the contrary, it will give us an advantage over our cavalry!”
"The Great Khan said that I have also thought about it several times. In this case, what is the purpose of Dalong's troops approaching Ganzhou?"
Yan Yu, who was sitting aside and cleaning her slender jade fingers, glanced at the puzzled brother and sister, raised her eyebrows slightly and laughed.
"Great Khan, husband, the west of Yunzhou is more than just a city in Ganzhou!"
Huyan Yunyao was stunned and subconsciously looked at the map: "Sister-in-law, Ganzhou is a city at the far northwest of Dalong. Beyond Ganzhou is the territory of our Huyan Royal Court... ..."
Huyan Yunyao was stunned as she spoke, and subconsciously glanced at Yan Yu, who was smiling meaningfully and gently stroking the feathers on the thin felt hat on her head.
"The Western Region! There is the Western Region to the west of Yunzhou!"
"Come here, change the national map!"
"Got the order!"
A refreshing and capable Turkic woman took out a larger map from the bamboo tube on her back and replaced the original map.
Huyan Yunyao couldn't wait to look at the map.
Looking at the vast territory of the thirty-eight countries in the Western Regions on the map, Huyan Yunyao took a breath of cold air.
"The Anxi Protectorate of the Western Regions has 200,000 soldiers!"
Hu Yanyu also woke up, his face changed slightly, and he looked deeply at the ancient silk road between the Western Region and Ganzhou on the map, and became lost in thought.
The soldiers of the Anxi Protectorate are not the soldiers in the hinterland of Dalong.
Although they are all called government soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the government soldiers of Anxi Protectorate is not weaker than the soldiers and horses of the six cities in Dalong's northern border.
In recent years, those who occasionally had dissent in the thirty-eight countries of the Western Regions were suppressed by the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions Protectorate.
It can be said that the two hundred thousand soldiers in the Western Region are either suppressing the rebellion or on the way to suppress the rebellion.
Its fierce combat power cannot be underestimated, especially the excellent war horses of the Western Regions with 200,000 soldiers, which can be said to be as good as the Turkic war horses.
If coupled with Dalong's excellent military equipment.
The Huyanjunyao brothers and sisters became more and more ugly as they thought about it. Maybe the Turks would have to pay a heavy price this time.
"call!"
"The Great Khan may not just be the soldiers of the Anxi Protectorate. Dalong is the suzerain of the Thirty-eight Kingdoms of the Western Regions. If Zhang Mo, the commander-in-chief, forced the thirty-eight Kingdoms of the Western Regions to send troops to help, the Liu brothers were in the Western Regions back then. The people of the thirty-eight countries in the Western Region still dare not resist due to the power left behind."
Hearing this, Huyan Yunyao's face turned even darker.
"Miscalculation, miscalculation!"
"These past years, the Western Region has been calm, or the turbulent waves have not affected this side, causing everyone to ignore the forces of the Thirty-Eight Countries in the Western Region."
"Great Khan, what should we do? If the dragon soldiers and horses keep moving closer to the west, the purpose is to contact the reinforcements from the Western Regions in time, we will be in trouble!"
"Maybe we will bear the brunt of Dalong's bloody revenge!"
Huyan Yunyao stopped wandering and glanced back at the map with a solemn expression.
"Che Gumu, according to this Khan's order, send six hundred eagle shooters to scout along the ancient Silk Road for three hundred miles to the west at intervals of two and a half miles. Once traces of reinforcements from the Western Regions are discovered, come and report immediately."
"I have the order! I resign!"
Hu Yanyu looked at Huyan Yunyao in confusion: "The Great Khan plans to continue to use troops? If he wants to retain the troops to continue going south, he must eat the 280,000 Great Dragon Alliance troops at the minimum cost, but to satisfy these two Conditions, it would be impossible without a three-month war of attrition.”
"The dragon has three thousand soldiers and horses. This is a meager force of thirty thousand, but nearly three hundred thousand, half of which are elite soldiers!"
"Three months are enough time for us to take down all the elites in the three western cities of Dalong, and leave the strength to compete with the Jin Kingdom after taking Dalong, and compete with the Central Plains to determine the world."
"But now that Yunyang, Nangong Ye and the others dare to go out of the city and engage in a head-on confrontation with us regardless of the cost, it means that the reinforcements from the Western Region will not be too far away."
"Don't mention giving us three months, the chance of even one month is very slim."
Huyanjunyao fell silent. After a long time, Huyanjunyao looked at Yanyu quietly.
"I suddenly became a little interested in Wanyan Chizha's proposal that he wrote to me a few days ago!"
Hu Yanyu was startled and immediately reacted.
"United Forces Dajin?"
"Is there any other way besides this? But before we leave, we can consume as much of the dragon's strength as possible."
"Instruct the leaders of all ministries to attack the troops and horses of the Great Dragon's phalanx from the side. Don't be reluctant to fight. Until you get confirmed information from the scouts, do your best to suppress the speed of the Great Dragon's troops retreating to the west!"
"Got the order!"
On the shallow river beach, where the Dalong soldiers and horses were stationed, Zhou Baoyu walked out of the military tent and towards the river beach with a bumpy walk. The sadness in his eyes was clearly visible.
Zhou Baoyu didn't understand what Yunyang and the others were discussing about setting up the formation. He just obeyed orders and fought as directed by the commander!
Jiang Lei followed closely and walked out, wanting to help Zhou Baoyu.
Zhou Baoyu threw Jiang Lei's shoulder away and stared at Jiang Lei with red eyes: "I'm lame in one leg, but I'm not crippled yet. I'm not even able to walk with help!"
Jiang Lei didn't get angry and looked at Zhou Baoyu quietly.
"General, our brothers have been eating from the same pot behind the general since Qingzhou. Don't you know who the general is?"
Zhou Baoyu looked at Jiang Lei with deep brotherhood in his eyes, pursed his lips and waved.
"Brother, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be angry with you. Let me calm down!"
"Brother, I'll accompany you! Have you forgotten the oath we swore to go to war with the commander in the capital?"
"We go together and return together!"
Zhou Baoyu's scarlet eyes couldn't help but shed two lines of clear tears, and the iron-clad man cried like a child.
"We go together and return together, where can we bear it? I can't bear it anymore!"
"No more!"
"We six generals have been with the commander for seven years. We are closer than brothers. He is gone!"
"We both came out to aid Chi Yunzhou, but we couldn't bear to die in Baochuan County. How could you let me have the face to meet the commander?"
"Blind God, why wasn't I the one who died in the battle? Why wasn't I the one who died in the battle?"
"He is five years younger than me, and his youngest daughter is only one year old."
"Why wasn't I the one who died in the battle?"
"Jiang Lei, tell me, is God blind? Why is he the one who died in the battle and not me?"
"If possible, I would trade my useless life for him to live!"
"Brother Baoyu, please stop talking nonsense. If I can't bear it, I definitely don't want to hear you say such things. Our brothers have been born and died for more than ten years, and we have a fateful friendship between the palms of our hands."
"I can't bear that my eldest brother died a worthy death while fighting for the country. We should be happy."
"Brother I can't bear to say it more than once that generals will inevitably die in battle. We soldiers who dare to come out to defend the border have been prepared to die in battle."
"Yes, the general will inevitably die in battle. We may not be the ones who die in battle tomorrow. There is nothing to be sad about. There will be days of reunion in the underworld in the future."
"If the stupid Duan can't bear it and dares to reincarnate before me, I will never let him go in the next life!"
Zhou Baoyu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, took out the flag from his back and caressed her like a beloved girl.
"Brother Jiang Lei!"
"Brother Baoyu, tell me!"
"If I and my brothers are unfortunate enough to be honored this time, you must take the flag of our Polu Army back to the commander-in-chief!"
"Give the commander another message!"
"We will still be brothers in the next life, but in the next life I will have a higher position than the handsome man. I will point at his nose and call him a bitch every day!"
"In this life, brothers will take the first step!"
