The evening wind blew. Li Xiang took a sip of the animal blood wine and looked up at the starry sky.
"Jushu, go see if the scout commander is back. If he is back, ask him to come see me immediately!!"
Cheng Jushu on the side rode his horse to the left side of the army to scout the camp. With such a beautiful moonlight, if we don't do something!
Even though a day and a night had passed, they were still filled with murderous aura!
Soon Cheng Jushu came over with his scouts.
"Lord!" The two of them saluted with their hands clasped together!
Li Xiang asked: "The prairie cavalry camp has been united?"
The scout leader nodded: "They gathered together in the afternoon. If the lord wanted to attack, his subordinates would not agree with it. The other party's defense was very good, so it would be difficult to attack by surprise.
But which prairie cavalry entangled by General Gao Yuan and General Zhuo Bufan can charge and kill them!"
"That group of grassland soldiers had not eaten for a day and were already hungry. General Zhuo Bufan harassed them with light cavalry, making those grassland soldiers now hungry and exhausted, and their combat effectiveness plummeted.
If we kill them, we might be able to kill all those prairie cavalry!"
Li Xiang took out the map and took a look at it, then rejected the plan: "It's too far!"
Judging from the map, it would take at least three hours to reach the other side, and it would be almost dawn in three hours!
If the grassland people cannot be taken down at once, they will have to be attacked by the grassland reinforcements from behind.
I want to cause trouble, but the cost is not worth it, and the whereabouts of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry cannot be exposed yet. Once exposed, it will not be good for the entire war situation.
The unknown is the scariest thing!
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is like a wolf hiding in the dark, so those grassland people must pay attention and be careful at all times!
"Is there a grassland reinforcement route?"
"Yes!" The scout commander immediately put the drawing in front of Li Xiang: "Grassland Army, they want to gather with the frontline troops immediately. They will advance in a straight line. According to their current speed, they can gather with the frontline troops tomorrow afternoon.
!”
"You're not satisfied with the speed!" Li Xiang smiled and took out a package. This package was taken from the prairie cavalry they killed. It contained food for the prairie cavalry.
These grains are made from the meat of ferocious beasts and some special medicinal materials. A small piece can make you half full.
The amount of food inside is about a month’s supply!
He didn't rush to kill the prairie cavalry in front of the prairie reinforcements because he wanted to eat them all.
As long as the grassland reinforcements behind and the troops in front gather together, the amount of food consumed will be greatly increased.
What was originally enough food for one person has become enough for two or even three people!
How long will these grains last?
As long as the Qing tribe no longer sends reinforcements, he will decide to eat them all!
"They don't know I'm coming yet!"
The scout leader shook his head: "The fortress doesn't know!"
"That's good!" Li Xiang nodded with satisfaction: "The enemy ordered his troops to keep an eye on these grassland people. When they arrive on the Qingxi grassland, they can come if they want, or leave if they want!
"
"yes!"
..
On the other side, the prairie army, which had been traveling for a long time, joined forces. The news of the destruction of the army on the left has not yet spread. If this news spreads, the morale of the army will definitely explode in an instant!
Therefore, they decided to block the news!
The poison warriors are in Prince Tuo Lei's tent. They also have a map of the Qingxi grassland. Because there is an extra fortress on the grassland, a large dot is drawn on it.
Poison Master was a little worried and frowned. The more he looked at the map, the more he felt something was wrong and a sense of crisis.
The fortress on the Qingxi Grassland is located on the edge of a river. The water of this river nourishes the Qingxi Grassland.
This is the core and most central place of Qingxi Grassland. They have been marching at the fastest speed all the way. In order to deal with the Xiliang cavalry who may attack next, they will stop to rest.
"Sir, what's the matter?" Prince Tuo Lei asked when he saw Poison Master's frown.
Poison Master rubbed his eyebrows: "There is always a feeling that I have forgotten something, and when I get to the fortress, it is a bit too far from the prairie boundary!"
Tuo Lei was already immune to the Poison Master's disrespect. After hearing the Poison Master's words, he took out a pot of wine and a few pieces of ferocious beast meat.
"Sir, I haven't eaten for a long time. Maybe you can figure it out after eating something and drinking some wine!"
The poisonous man looked at the ferocious beast meat, and two words appeared in his mind, food and grass!
"Prince, do you know how many troops there are on General Mundo's side now?" Poison Master asked hastily.
Prince Tolei thought for a moment: "It seems that there are still 180,000 to 90,000 people left!"
"Eighteen to ninety thousand, have they snatched the supplies?" When the poisonous man heard this number, his mind was buzzing.
"Grab back a small amount. Judging from the information in the letter, they no longer have food at this time, so let us seize the time to provide it..." Prince Tuo Lei said and was stunned: "Food, our army only has food.
There is less than a month left, and if three people eat this, they can last for ten days at most!"
Du Shi said: "I wonder if the King of Xiliang also knows that our army only has about a month's worth of food and grass left!
General Mundo's army has been defeated and its morale is low. If we starve for half the night, if there is a powerful cavalry attack, will the army there collapse directly and lead to a rout!"
"But since the attack on my army on the left, the Xiliang cavalry seem to have lost their traces, and there is no trace of them at all.
I wonder if they are waiting for us to gather with the frontline troops before they come out. There is no need to attack, they just need to make it difficult for our army to move forward. Waiting for the day when the food is exhausted, that is when my army brother will be defeated!"
The more Poison thinks about it, the more he feels that this is what Li Xiang wants to do!
Prince Tuo Lei heard the poisonous warrior's analysis, thought for a moment and laughed: "Sir, we did bring a little less food. Mendo and the others have war horses, and the war horses can be eaten. Our army has joined with Mendo and the others, nearly 300,000
Troops and horses, I’m sorry even Prime Minister Li doesn’t dare to come and charge the battle!”
"Indeed, you can throw away some things when necessary!" The poisonous man laughed when he heard the prince's words. People without war horses can't go far on the grassland. They can act as rearguard troops when necessary!
For the sake of the main force, you can give up some things!
However, he still has some doubts in his mind, that is, how many Xiliang cavalry there are. Until now, they still don't know the number of Xiliang cavalry.
The fact that no one escaped from the entire army on the left shows that there are a lot of Xiliang cavalry, otherwise it would not be able to form an overwhelming massacre!
The number won't be too small, but it won't be too much either. If there are more, they won't be secretive, but will have already come out.
