Not long after Hu Yanyu and Ba Khanna left the king's tent, the sound of horse hooves that made the earth tremble came from outside.
The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away. Huyan Yunyao thought for a moment and looked at the several scouts: "Tuba, Mu Le..."
"exist!"
"You, the falcon, send a letter to contact all the Condor Scouts who went to investigate, and do your best to detect the whereabouts of the new army of the Dragon's enemy, the Six Guards, with more than 200,000 cavalry.
What you are currently detecting is most likely the traces of the Sixth Guards of Northern Xinjiang and the Allied Forces of the Western Regions, but they still have an invincible cavalry that has not yet shown its whereabouts.
The enemy is in darkness and we are in the light, which is very unfavorable for us to deal with the enemy.
You will focus on the Dalim grassland behind us. Maybe this cavalry will make a large circle and come to our rear to outflank and raid our troops. "
"Got the order!"
After a group of scouts left, Wanyan Chizha stood up.
"Taichang Khan, this general has some speculations, but I don't know whether to explain them or not!"
"King of Zhen, please speak."
"My general and the Great Khan have speculated that the troops of the Six Guards of Dalong's New Army should be encircling the Dalim Grassland to complete an outflank of our two coalition forces.
The general thinks whether to send a group of cavalry to stop their encirclement. We will go all out to encircle and kill the soldiers and horses led by Yunyang.
As long as the interception is done properly, we should have enough troops to deal with the combined infantry and cavalry forces of Yunyang and Yunyang, but in this way..."
Wanyan Chizha hesitated as he spoke.
Huyan Yunyao's eyebrows furrowed and she stared straight at Wanyan Chiezha: "The soldiers who go to stop the Six Guards Cavalry of Dalong's new army must be prepared to die, right?"
Wanyan Chizha nodded helplessly: "The new army's Six Guards Iron Cavalry are not equipped to fight against us, not to mention our Jintu Allied Forces. Even the elite soldiers of the older generation of Dalong's Northern Six Guards are inferior.
The amount of resources invested by the Great Khan's senior brother Liu Mingzhi on them is an immeasurable amount. The only way to stop them is to be prepared to serve the country with one's own body.
It is not yet clear how many troops the Sixth Guards of the New Army currently has, but it will not be less than 200,000.
Once they attack without scruple and complete the encirclement with the troops in front, we will really be trapped in a tight siege and it will be difficult to fight. "
Huyan Yunyao turned her head and glanced at the frowning generals under the tent behind her. After thinking for a while, she looked at Wanyan Chizha.
"The King of Zhen also said that the Six Guards of the New Army are invincible, so how much force do we have to use to intercept them?
Thirty to fifty thousand people are basically going to die. For one hundred thousand people, let’s not talk about whether there will be insufficient troops on our side. How long can one hundred thousand people stop the elites of Hundreds of War and two hundred thousand people?
Rushing to fight can delay their progress.
However, if the Six Guards of the New Army do not use troops according to the routine, turn a blind eye to their harassment, and forcefully move south to encircle them, then our troops will not be flying their kites, but will be led by the nose and toyed with by them. Between the palms of the hands.
The initiative is in their hands, and you can't do it without fighting.
Send troops and horses with a similar strength. With the strength of our Turkic tribes currently united in the Royal Court and your remaining troops, they are no match for the troops in front of the dragon. "
"This...sigh..."
Wanyan Chizha lowered his head and sighed with a complicated expression.
In the final analysis, the military strength is still insufficient and the gap is huge.
Otherwise, why would he be chased and beaten by Dalong's soldiers and horses.
After several national wars, the military strength of the two countries became smaller and smaller, and there were very few recruits. On the other hand, Dalong and the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang effortlessly recruited 300,000 recruits after the last battle. Got in.
After Liu Mingzhi led the Northern Expedition, the new soldiers immediately turned into an elite division.
If the national power is not as good as the people, what can be done?
The Queen looked at the aggrieved and helpless Uncle Wang, sighed quietly, and looked at Huyan Yunyao quietly: "I wonder if Khan has any good strategies to deal with the enemy?"
Huyan Yunyao looked a little hesitant: "Empress, don't be anxious, let me think about it for a while."
"good!"
Huyan Yunyao habitually started to pace in front of everyone, looking at the sand table from time to time and thinking for a while.
I don't know how long it took, Huyan Yunyao stopped and sighed softly.
"As of now, we can only respond to the enemy according to the original method, not to engage in head-on confrontation with the dragon's soldiers and horses, but to focus on running attacks and engage in a persistent guerrilla war with the dragon's soldiers and horses.
Empress, how long can your food and grass last? "
"The remaining food and fodder after all the efforts of the whole country can last for another year and a half."
"Great, our current food reserves in Turks can last for a year. On the other hand, the Dalong soldiers and horses, after Ben Khan sent troops to sneak attack their food troops twice, their current food reserves are estimated to only last for March and May. about.
Today's battlefield is no longer in your Jin Kingdom, but deep into our Turkic grasslands.
As long as we fight and retreat while they continue to retreat north and stretch the front line longer and longer, they will definitely be in crisis of shortage of food and grass.
Although Dalong's treasury is extremely abundant now, with Dalong's military configuration of one soldier and three auxiliaries, it needs to support hundreds of thousands of main battle troops. Their consumption of transporting grain and grass must be at least hundreds of thousands of auxiliary soldiers. The government soldiers cooperate with each other. .
We will not engage in direct confrontation with them, but will focus on a war of attrition.
There will certainly be losses of troops and horses during the assault, but compared to a head-on confrontation, where the entire army may be annihilated and the country is destroyed, Ben Khan feels that this loss should not be serious.
Especially with the current weather, their consumption of food and grass will be even more serious, and the transportation of food and grass will become slower and slower due to the snow.
No matter how many troops they have, can't we withdraw if we can't defeat them?
What do you think? "
After listening to Huyan Yunyao's words, the king's tent fell into a brief silence, and everyone was thinking about the pros and cons.
In the time it took to burn an incense stick, as the first person nodded, the following people agreed one after another.
Even the Queen had to admit that she could not find a better way than this.
The grassland is vast, and it's not like defending a city. It's a situation where it's impossible not to fight.
As long as there is a crisis in the enemy's food and fodder, our own crisis will naturally be resolved.
It is not impossible to even take advantage of the enemy's weakened morale to launch a counterattack.
When two armies confront each other, a war of attrition is not a type of war duel.
"I agree. If there is nothing else, I will go back immediately to arrange the departure of the army."
"etc!"
"Anything else?"
"It is not advisable to retreat blindly. Before withdrawing, you must at least leave some damage to the dragon!"
"What do you plan to do?"
"This Khan plans to ask your general Yeruha and my subordinate General Jebieshu to each lead a group of troops to intercept the joint action of Dalong's commander Yunyang's troops and Dalong's former army.
If the Sixth Guards of the New Army delayed their journey and failed to complete the encirclement in time, and we severely damaged the enemy forces in front, we might not have to retreat, and we would have a chance of winning in frontal combat. "
The Queen did not agree immediately. She was not very proficient in the use of soldiers, so she could only look at the two of them.
After seeing the two of them nodding slightly, they nodded to Huyan Yunyao.
"I agree."
"Okay, then I won't delay you and go back to arrange it."
"Farewell."
"Lotus dew!"
"exist!"
"Tell the personal soldier Ben Khan to pass the order quickly and be sure to inform the ears of every tribe."
"Got the order!"
Huyan Yunyao's strategy to respond to the enemy announced that the tug-of-war between the two sides had completely begun.
As for whether the plan can work as expected, it depends on how the generals of Dalong's army respond.
As time passed, the Queen, Wanyan Chizha and the others rushed back to the camp where the remaining Jin soldiers of the Moro tribe were stationed.
As soon as the Queen arrived in front of the camp, Jiahu, one of the Admiral's Secret Agents, came up to her and whispered to the Queen in a low voice.
The Queen frowned slightly and looked at Wanyan Chiezha.
"Uncle Wang, go and convey the order to open the camp. This girl Yue'er is acting up again. I'll go and deal with it."
"Old minister understands."
The queen threw the riding whip to the soldiers and hurried towards her tent.
"Get out of the way quickly. If it's too late, Yue'er will never forgive you for the rest of her life!"
"Princess, please don't embarrass us. Can we discuss everything after His Majesty comes back?"
"Who knows how long it will take for my mother to come back? Yue'er really has something very important."
"I'm back, what are you doing again?"
The little cutie was carrying a bundle on her back and holding a snow-white clouded leopard that had doubled in size with one hand. When she saw the queen entering the tent, she hurriedly greeted her.
"Mother!"
The queen frowned and looked at the little cutie: "What are you preparing the baggage for?"
"Go...go to Dalong!"
"Purpose?"
"I...I...can I go play?"
There was a soft snap, and more than a dozen people in the tent froze. Their eyes looked nervously at the little cutie who was covering her white cheeks, full of worry.
The Queen also stared blankly as her palms became sluggish, and her bright eyes showed a hint of bewilderment when she saw the bright red fingerprints on her daughter's face.
This is the first time, this is the first time I have done this to my daughter.
The little cutie looked at the somewhat bewildered queen with tears in her eyes: "Mother...Mother, hit me!"
"You guys stand down!"
"According to the order!"
The queen looked helplessly at the little cutie with tears streaming down her face.
"Yue'er, mother, please tell me what you want to do? Weren't you like this before?
The war is so tense and we are uncertain whether we will live or die, so why don't you let me save some time for my mother?
Mother, please! "
The little cutie slowly put down the palm that was covering her face, and held on to her baggage tightly: "I...I'm going...to..."
Listening to the little cutie's cooing voice, the queen subconsciously put her ear close to her.
After a moment, the queen looked at the little cutie's red eyes in surprise.
"Is everything you said true?"
The little cutie wiped away her tears and nodded: "Well, Yue'er doesn't dare to lie to mother!"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Daddy won't let me tell you."
"Alas... you two, father and daughter, are really more ridiculous than the other!
