Among all the information, the ones who reacted the most violently were naturally the Wuhuan tribe.
After all, Qin Yuan captured more than a thousand miles of Wuhuan territory and massacred hundreds of millions of Wuhuan people.
They even successfully captured Wutu City and destroyed one of the largest tribes among the Wuhuan tribe.
It almost occupies the southern region of the Wuhuan people.
This was a very heavy blow to the Wuhuan people.
This is equivalent to losing about one-fifth of the territory.
There are two main sources of intelligence. One is from the people of Wuhuan who were captured in the city.
Some came from the scouts sent out.
The order from the Wuhuan Royal Court has been conveyed to all tribes.
Now, the armies of Wangting, Canglang, Gulou and other large tribes have gone south and rushed to Wutu City.
The Wuhuan tribe in the northern territory all knew Qin Yuan's terror.
A large number of Wuhuan tribes received orders from the royal court and moved their tribes to the north, leaving military personnel from large tribes behind to join the army and attack Qin Yuan together.
Although the Wuhuan troops moved south in several routes, each route gathered tribes of various sizes, up to two million in number.
The total number of these armies is no less than 10 million!
Nearly half of the Wuhuan tribe's army.
This is enough to show that the Wuhuan tribe is serious about their affairs.
"Calculating based on time, the enemy army will take as little as two days and as long as half a month. Wuhuan's tens of millions of troops will all be gathered together!"
Bai Qi said.
Although their armies are all powerful combat arms, their strength is much more powerful than that of the Wuhuan cavalry.
However, this time there were too many enemies.
The number exceeded tens of millions.
Moreover, most of them are the elites of the major tribes, rather than the rabble recruited temporarily in Wutu City.
After all, Qin Yuan's army is less than 500,000!
This is a dozens of times difference in military strength!
It's not that Qin Yuan is not his opponent.
Rather, if they were to fight head-on with these tens of millions of troops, even if they won in the end, it would definitely be a tragic victory.
It is estimated that not even 100,000 of the 500,000-strong army is left.
This is definitely a result Qin Yuan doesn't want to see.
It took a lot of effort to save such a small fortune, but how could it be lost in one battle?
"If we start a full-scale war with the Wuhuan tribe, we will definitely suffer heavy losses!"
Qin Yuan said.
Although he desperately needs to obtain mission points, he cannot make the soldiers pay a high price.
At least make sure that you are making a steady profit without losing any money.
Only in this way can we support war with war and continue to fight against the Wuhuan tribe.
But the Wuhuan tribe obviously saw this.
This time it was not a small group of troops sent to resist.
Instead, they sent out the strongest tribes in the clan at once.
"It might be a good idea to divide and attack them!"
"The enemy's main force consists of five groups, each with two to three million troops!"
"We may not be able to win a battle with tens of millions of troops, but if we only deal with one side, the chances of winning are still very high!"
Li Cunxiao said.
"That's a great idea!"
"However, the enemy has suffered so many losses, and there is no way he will give us another chance!"
Luo Cheng on the side said solemnly, "Judging from the enemy's march route, the distance between these five armies is not far away. Once a war breaks out on any road, the other armies will inevitably rush to support. When the time comes, ours will
Falling into the enemy's circle!"
There are five main armies of the Wuhuan tribe, but there are dozens of armies from some small and medium-sized tribes, distributed near these five armies.
Originally, the fastest advance was the Chishan Army from Wuhuan Royal Court.
However, after the news of the fall of Wutu City came out, the Chishan Army's advance slowed down, waiting for other armies to catch up and join up.
After all, there is no point in rushing to Wutu City at full speed at this time.
Li Cunxiao could think of a plan to divide and annihilate, and the enemy could naturally think of it too.
Therefore, in the next war, the Wuhuan Army will not be able to give them another chance to take advantage of the situation.
Either we don't fight, or if we start a fight, we will definitely face tens of millions of troops.
"What about the damage from the attack on Wutu City?"
Qin Yuan suddenly asked.
"Over 70,000 people were killed!"
Bai Qi said.
Although Wutu City was successfully captured in the first battle.
However, there are more than two million enemies after all, and there are millions of Wuhuan people in the city.
Killed them all and encountered strong resistance.
The number of casualties they suffered was not large, more than 70,000.
Of course, most of these are advanced arms.
But 70,000 people is equivalent to one-seventh of the troops killed in battle.
The death rate is considered very high.
This does not include the number of injured.
Judging from the casualties, a head-on battle with tens of millions of Wuhuan people is definitely not the right choice.
Even with Wutu City's defense, it would be difficult to achieve final victory.
Moreover, they go deep into the enemy's territory. Once the enemy surrounds Qin Yuan's army, they can receive a steady stream of assistance.
But Qin Yuan's army will be trapped in an isolated and helpless situation.
Furthermore, by relying on Wutu City to fight, the advantages of many combat arms cannot be fully utilized.
For example, the Green Dragon Legion has the strongest combat effectiveness, and the White Tiger Legion is the main force in attacking the enemy.
Like the defenders of Wutu City, if they choose to abandon the city and fight Qin Yuan on the plains, they can give full play to the advantages of their cavalry.
But instead of hiding in the city, the advantages of the Wuhuan cavalry were not brought into play at all.
Otherwise, the number of casualties of Qin Yuan's army might increase by half.
Even, it is not that easy to completely annihilate the enemy in the end.
"Where's the harassment plan?"
Qin Yuan asked.
"That's not good either!"
Bai Qi pondered for a while and shook his head. "The enemy's base is too large. The losses caused by harassment alone will not be able to injure the enemy. They may even be ambushed by the enemy!"
Using harassment tactics can indeed cause the enemy to suffer considerable losses.
The executable army can only choose cavalry, and the number of participating arms can only be hundreds of thousands.
The damage caused by these hundreds of thousands of cavalry can reach up to one to two million casualties.
But for an enemy army numbering in the tens of millions, it is nothing.
And it takes multiple times to cause casualties.
In this way, the enemy troops will be alert and may take advantage of their harassment to encircle them.
Once they fall into a trap, it is difficult for them to break out and they are unable to provide support.
This is the advantage in numbers.
When the volume reaches a certain level, a qualitative change will occur.
If they were to face millions of troops fighting in ten directions, they would definitely not feel any pressure at all.
When tens of millions of troops gather together into a rope, they will have to expend several times their strength if they want to defeat them.
But now the enemy is getting closer and closer, and will reach Wutu City soon.
Unless they give up the occupied city territory, another war will be inevitable.
"Shouldn't we start a war with them?"
Li Cunxiao said a little angrily.
"This is the safest way at the moment!"
Bai Qi actually laughed.
"Avoiding battle is also a tactic!"
Qin Yuan nodded slightly.
"What my lord said is absolutely true!"
"Moreover, have you ever thought about it, this time the Wuhuan tribe is really serious about sending more than 10 million troops south just to deal with us!"
"The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. It seems that the advantage does not lie with us, but this is not the case!"
"The enemy has gathered a large number of troops. From the perspective of logistical support alone, it is a very difficult challenge!"
Bai Qi said to everyone.
Just maintaining the logistics of the four legions would cost them a lot of manpower and material resources.
This is also the reason why Qin Yuan has been unwilling to expand his army on a large scale.
Otherwise, he can expand the size of his army to one million or even two million at any time.
But in that case, it will inevitably bring down Pingyun County's economy and consume a large amount of resource reserves.
War is very draining of resources.
Once all the resources are exhausted, the entire political system will fall apart.
Whether it is Pingyun County in Qinyuan or the Eastern Han Dynasty covering thirteen states.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion in history, the imperial court gradually declined.
A large part of the reason is that the imperial treasury is empty.
If Pingyun County is brought down due to the war with the Wuhuan tribe, this is definitely not what Qin Yuan wants to see.
"So, we can choose to avoid fighting, stay in a stalemate with the enemy, and fight a protracted war!"
"Their number is dozens of times that of ours, and the resources they require are dozens of times that of ours!"
"We will never be able to waste it!"
"What's more, it's autumn now, and winter will begin soon!"
"You can also find opportunities to cut off the enemy's logistics!"
Bai Qi added, "This is also one of our ways to win!"
"Oh, is there any other way?"
Qin Yuan asked.
"Of course, avoiding war is the first way."
"The second is assault tactics. If the enemy army gathers tens of millions of troops, then the rear area will inevitably be empty of troops!"
"We can bypass their large army and raid the cities and tribes in the north. It is recommended to use cavalry as the main force and adopt a strategy of enemy retreating and we advancing!"
Bai Qi said.
"This is a good tactic!"
Qin Yuan nodded.
This is somewhat similar to Gongsun Zan's tactics when he entered Pingyun County.
Use the high mobility of cavalry to attack a certain target.
The enemy's reaction speed will definitely not be able to keep up.
This tactic can only be accomplished by the cavalry under his command.
The three major legions such as the White Tiger are not suitable for participation, otherwise they will be easily pursued and surrounded by the enemy.
"And one last one!"
"Capture the thief first and capture the king first, then choose to raid the royal court of the Wuhuan tribe!"
A flash of light flashed in Bai Qi's eyes.
It is terrifyingly difficult to completely defeat all the Wuhuan armies.
At least it requires a lot of time, energy, and resources to be achieved.
But it is much easier to break through the Wuhuan royal court and overthrow the Wuhuan ruling regime.
After Bai Qi finished speaking, Qin Yuan and others were still thinking about the feasibility of this tactic.
On the contrary, Yang Ming, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up, with a look of excitement on his face.
Over the past few days, Yang Ming has been investigating the existence of his senior brother. Sometimes he even broke away from the large army and acted alone, and finally found some clues.
Coupled with his divination inference, the senior brothers should have arrived at the Royal Court of Chishan and were at war with Zhu Jiuyin who was sealed in Chishan, and were in danger.
According to the results of his divine prediction, two senior brothers have already died, and the remaining senior brothers are all in critical condition and may die at any time.
If it comes to capturing the Wuhuan Royal Court far away in Chishan, Yang Ming will definitely agree to it, no matter what the price he has to pay.
"Lord, as long as you can save my senior brother, I will follow you to death for the rest of my life and never abandon you!"
Yang Ming suddenly knelt down on one knee and looked at Qin Yuan expectantly.
Yang Ming followed Qin Yuan on the expedition for many days. Although he did not participate in military planning, he also invested a lot of time and energy in formations.
Most of the large formations arranged by Bai Qi relied on Yang Ming's help.
In addition, Yang Ming personally went to the lower-level army to teach the soldiers how to quickly form formations and learn teamwork and formation layout.
The formation of the four sacred beasts of the four legions, the gathering of military souls, etc. are all indispensable to Yang Ming's contribution.
Qin Yuan saw all of this.
Of course, he also knew very well the reasons why Yang Ming made all these changes.
But if we attack the Wuhuan tribe normally, we don’t know how long it will take to reach the foot of Chishan Mountain.
The daylilies will be cold by then.
"The plan to directly take over the Wuhuan Royal Court needs to be carefully decided!"
"However, we will find a way to rescue your senior brothers!"
Qin Yuan comforted Yang Ming.
After all, Yang Ming has good abilities. In addition to his ability in formations, he can also predict the secrets of heaven. He has deduced the enemy's troop deployment and strategies many times, and assisted Bai Qi to achieve many achievements.
Although Yang Ming is not a famous general, he is better than a famous general.
"What are your opinions?"
Qin Yuan looked at Li Cunxiao and Luo Cheng.
"I think capturing Wuhuan Royal Court is the best strategy at the moment!"
Luo Cheng nodded.
"I agree!"
Li Cunxiao looked excited. "I am willing to share this arduous task for General Bai Qi!"
Seeing that both of them agreed, Qin Yuan looked at Bai Qi again.
"Then it's decided!"
Naturally, Bai Qi would not object.
In fact, this is also the fastest way to defeat Wuhuan Royal Court.
Although if you do this, you may not be able to get a lot of points.
However, when things have reached this point, it is no longer a question of points.
If they cannot defeat the Wuhuan tribe, what awaits them will be a strong Wuhuan counterattack.
Not to mention losing the thousands of miles of territory captured by then, even Pingyun County will be threatened.
Afterwards, everyone discussed in detail the matter of capturing the Wuhuan Royal Court.
Because they had to go deep into the enemy's rear area, the distance from Wutu City to Wuhuan Palace was almost a thousand miles.
If you want to bypass Wuhuan's several armies and raid the royal court, you must not only hide your whereabouts, but also go fast and never give the enemy time to react.
This determined that the only type of military unit that could implement this strategy was cavalry.
As for the White Tiger, Xuanwu and other legions, other arrangements need to be made.
Because of the threats from several large armies, it was naturally impossible to stay in Wutu City.
Otherwise, once the enemy army arrives, without the strongest cavalry army, it will inevitably be destroyed by the enemy army.
The only option was to retreat strategically and attract the attention of the Wuhuan army at the same time.
The plan has been decided.
However, they did not act immediately.
In the next few days, they still stayed in Wutu City without any military operations.
These groups of Wuhuan troops are constantly approaching Wutu City.
Originally, the Chishan Army could have reached Wutu City long ago.
However, they didn't do this.
Instead, they chose to camp in a city a hundred miles away from Wutu City, waiting for other armies to join together.
