On the first day of fighting, the Qin army wiped out many enemies, but this also aroused Baltu's ferocity. Instead of stopping the attack, he took a desperate stance.
This fierce battle lasted for four or five days. Xirong suffered heavy losses, and the Qin army officers and soldiers also continued to reduce their numbers.
On this day, in Black Rock City.
Just after the fierce battle between the two sides, many generals were still covered in blood and had not had time to clean themselves. The same was true for Yang Heng.
"Report~~~~~"
The soldier came in a hurry, knelt down on one knee, and said in a trembling voice: "General, Langju Mountain has been attacked by Xirong many times. General Chen Hui asked for permission to retreat if necessary."
"Take off his mother's legs!" Yang Heng shouted loudly: "Tell Chen Hui! Even if the whole army dies in battle for me, they will still die in Langju Mountain! Langju Mountain is lost! Let him come and see you!"
These words were so decisive that the soldier was startled and couldn't help but swallow, "Yes, yes..."
This is the fighting style of an iron-blooded general. Baltu wanted to compete with the Qin army with their bravery and overwhelming force, but unfortunately, he met Yang Heng, who was someone who dared to fight.
Yang Heng was not afraid of Baltu at all, but Xirong was a little shaken.
After several days of fierce fighting, the cavalry had suffered heavy losses, with a total loss of nearly 20,000. However, none of the three fronts had been captured. If the fighting continued like this, Xirong's 100,000-strong army would be wiped out.
Their confidence was thwarted, and the generals began to express different opinions. They believed that such a strong attack should not be carried out anymore, which would be equivalent to killing five hundred enemies and damaging one thousand.
During the military discussion, Baltus thought about it and decided to change his strategy and said:
"Yang Heng goes deep into Black Rock, which is far away from Qin Pass. With such a long front, their food supply is the biggest problem."
"And the Qin army is not on the mainland. Once its food is exhausted, it will be defeated without a fight."
After hearing this, Vice General Xirong subconsciously said: "General, what you mean is... to cut off the Qin army's supply line?"
"That's right!" Baltu said directly: "Send a light cavalry around the only way to Qinguan and Black Stone, and cut off their food and grass. Yang Heng will not be able to hold on for long!"
When marching and fighting, food and grass are the most important thing. If the enemy cannot be defeated head-on, it is indeed the best strategy to cut off their food routes.
And what the Xirong cavalry is best at is blitzing, running thousands of miles to attack, and then leaving after the attack.
When the generals heard this, they didn't have much opinion. A general stood up immediately and said seriously: "General, let's go from the bottom general!"
"Okay! We must avoid the Qin army. We only need to destroy their food transportation. There is no need to fight." Baltu looked at the generals.
"Understood!" Rong Jiang saluted.
Before Qin's attack, Su Yi suggested that he go deep into the army alone and occupy the Black Stone in order to shock the entire Xirong. He had three ideas for this.
Xirong must either recapture the Black Stone head-on, besiege the city, or cut off the grain route.
Now that Baltu cannot defeat Yang Heng head-on, and cannot pull out Langju Mountain, he cannot implement the siege plan, so he can only take this third way.
The Qingqi attack was very maneuverable. However, the Qin army's military intelligence was too strong and there were many scouts near the war zone.
The elite of the Snow Tribe are always watching Baltu's main force.
As soon as there was any movement on his side, the news was immediately sent back to Yang Heng.
The latter was also surprised when he received the information. He immediately returned to the case and started writing.
This letter was sent to Xiao Yuan.
In the letter, Yang Heng expressed his thoughts. He believed that Xirong would most likely cut off his own food route, and he still had some reserves of supplies. Please rest assured, your Majesty, considering the overall situation, the border troops can still hold on.
The letter passed through Falcon and soon reached Xiao Yuan's hands.
After reading it, he smiled slightly, held up the silk book in his hand and said: "Yang Heng is strong and strong, defeats the enemy alone, and ignores difficulties in the face of difficulties. He is a good general alone."
It is a great honor to be called a good general by the king. Besides Wei Qing, it is Yang Heng.
When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but bend down. Shangguan Wenruo said tentatively: "I'm afraid, I don't know what happened."
Xiao Yuandao: "As expected, Xirong has indeed separated a group of light cavalry, which will come for my food route. Yang Heng sent a letter asking my main force not to worry about the frontier army, so that he can still hold on."
Upon hearing this, a general immediately said: "Wouldn't that be just right? We can pretend to be transporting grain and grass and set up an ambush halfway."
"No." Xiao Yuan raised his hand: "Let Xirong rob this batch of food and grass."
"Ah?" The generals were puzzled, and someone said anxiously: "Your Majesty, this!"
Xiao Yuan stopped him and explained: "This Xirong light cavalry is not large in number. We can set up an ambush to annihilate them, but it is meaningless. It is better to take advantage of the food and grass issue to attack and win."
This is to make Xirong think that their plan to cut off the grain road has been a great success.
Shangguan Wenruo was the first to react and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you want General Yang Heng to be defeated?"
"That's right." Xiao Yuandao: "The strategic purpose of Black Rock City has been achieved. It has successfully attracted Baltu's 100,000 main force. It is meaningless to hold on any longer."
"What we have to do is to eliminate this main Xirong army."
"Let him rob the supplies. From Xirong's point of view, if our food route is cut off, Yang Heng will naturally be defeated. The defeat is natural and will not arouse any suspicion in Baltu."
"As soon as Yang Heng retreats, Xirong's main force will inevitably retake the Black Stone. At that time, we can circle around and encircle and annihilate the entire Black Stone."
"The enemy's shortcomings are my strengths in fighting tough battles."
This plan was clear, allowing Yang Heng to defeat Heishi as a matter of course, and then use all the main force to surround Heishi, build military defenses, guard the valley's main roads, and trap the main force of Xirong to death.
If you come out to fight, under the fortifications, the advantage of the cavalry will disappear. If you don't come out, you will be trapped to death. It is also mainly nomadic. If you don't herd animals, you can't live.
The other war zones will be left to Su Yi to deal with.
The main force of the Qin army is responsible for annihilating the main force of the enemy's army.
Xiao Yuan wants to fight against Ding Xirong.
After understanding, the faces of the generals also showed excitement.
Xiao Yuan said: "However, our military strength is not better than that of Xirong. This battle must still rely on fortification defense. All generals should go down immediately to prepare."
"No!" All the generals clasped their fists and shouted.
A few days later, Qinguan began to dispatch a food transport team, heading all the way to the upper left, obviously to transport supplies to Black Rock City.
This is a normal supply line.
The grain transport team was all logistics personnel, and they walked leisurely.
Because the two places were far apart, it was not until a few days later that this grain transport team appeared in the sight of Xirong Qingqi.
On the slope in the distance, looking at the carts of grain and grass below, a Xirong cavalry couldn't help but said: "As expected by the general, the Qin army's supply line is too long, so we have no choice but to go here."
"Excellent." The leading general also looked excited and drew out his scimitar: "Attack!"
