2.6 billion Southern Barbarian troops were stationed in front of the Xiliang army, which numbered less than 700 million.
The number of the Xiliang army was nearly four times larger than that of the Xiliang army. The Southern Barbarian army stood firm and did not dare to rush forward. They did not even dare to cross the border. They were overwhelmed by the Xiliang army in terms of momentum!
With such a large army, the food and salary consumption for one day is too much!
"Grand Master, if the Xiliang army does not retreat, our army will not dare to withdraw. It is difficult to keep up with the food and wages. Now the food in the army has been almost consumed. If this continues, within three to five days, our army will have more than 2 billion
All the soldiers have to eat grass roots and tree bark!"
In the main tent of the Nanman Army, the general in charge of logistics said worriedly.
"Grand Master, why don't you give the order to kill them? We have nearly four times more enemy troops. Why worry about defeating the Xiliang army if we kill them? In the worst case, we can also adopt the enemy's strategy. Kill one hundred enemies to level up, and kill five enemies to level up.
Upgrade one hundred to two levels, kill two thousand enemies to upgrade to three levels, use this to boost morale, and you will definitely be able to defeat the enemy!" One of the leading generals suggested.
"No!" A leading general stopped him and said: "Our Southern Barbarian Army, many of our officers and soldiers do not want to conflict with the Xiliang Army, and are afraid of the Xiliang Army. No matter what method is used, the morale is far from being achieved.
The height of the Xiliang Army."
"But the King of Xiliang, with less than 700 million mercenaries, dared to stand in front of our 2.6 billion Southern Barbarian army and not retreat. He also sent people over from time to time to provoke our Southern Barbarian army and let us go over to fight with it. There are various signs that show
, the Xiliang army is not afraid of us and is sure to defeat us. If they attack rashly and are defeated by the Xiliang army, and the Xiliang army marches straight in and invades our southern barbarian territory, then our southern barbarians will be trampled into scorched earth, and the capital will also be conquered by them.
We must be able to break through, so we must remain calm and must not act rashly!”
"Yes! Without certainty of victory, we must not act rashly!"
Many generals made statements.
A belligerent general said angrily: "We can't fight, we can't retreat, and we can't keep up with our food and wages. Do we have to wait for our army to be in chaos, giving the enemy an opportunity to defeat us in one fell swoop?"
The timid generals lowered their heads and were speechless.
"OK OK!"
Grand Master Wei Chi Tianxiong said: "Let's not argue for now. Let's analyze why the King of Xiliang personally led his army to suppress us in front of our army's formation without advancing or retreating? What is his purpose? Let's find out this matter.
Once it’s clear, we can make next steps.”
Yuchi Tianxiong was puzzled.
If Xiao Zhan was sure of defeating the Southern Barbarian army, he should use force to suppress the Southern Barbarian army and force the Southern Barbarian court to compromise with him and cooperate with him.
However, the Xiliang Army stood still, provoking them several times a day, and did not take the initiative to attack. Furthermore, no reinforcements came from the Xiliang Army, and there was no news about the other two groups of Xiliang Army going south.
So he couldn't understand what Xiao Zhan was going to do.
"Grand Master, the King of Xiliang hasn't shown his face in three days. Will he play with us and make us think he is in front of our formation, so that we don't dare to attack rashly, and then secretly move the battlefield and run to the other two routes in Xiliang?
The purpose of commanding the war is to use a very small number of troops to contain the entire southern barbarian army and buy time for the other two armies to defeat King Yu and the demons?" A belligerent general expressed his thoughts.
.
When Yuchi Tianxiong heard this, he slammed the table.
"This must be the case! We have all been fooled by Xiao Zhan! Issue the military order quickly, launch a general attack on the Xiliang Army in an hour, and crush the Xiliang Army in one go!"
"Yes! Master!"
...
Over there with the Xiliang Army.
"Report!!!"
A scout came to report.
"Generals, according to the intelligence we just obtained, the Southern Barbarian Army is issuing military orders to launch a general attack on our Xiliang Army in an hour. Now the Southern Barbarian Army is making preparations for the war!"
"What!"
Hearing the news, the Xiliang Army's central tent was shocked.
"Not long ago, we sent people to provoke, but there was still no movement in the south of the Nanman Army. No matter how we provoked them, they just didn't attack or reply. Why did they suddenly give the order to launch a general attack on us?" Chen Tianbao said
