"They are forcing us to fight decisively!" The Xianbei tribe leader came to the front line of the battlefield. Here he saw the continuous Xiliang army barracks in the distance, and also saw the heroic appearance of his men.
With support from the Central Plains, the Xianbei tribe received a large amount of supplies, and he used these supplies to build a powerful army.
If there were not such a terrifying enemy as Xiliang, it wouldn't be long before the Xianbei people could dominate the entire grassland. After a while of development, they would be no worse than the grassland people on the grassland.
It's a pity that in front of them is the terrifying enemy Xiliang. If they want to develop, they must defeat this terrifying enemy Xiliang head-on!
This battle is the only victory for the Xianbei people. If they lose, the Xianbei people will become a lost dog like the Qiang people, and their descendants will never be able to make a difference.
Therefore, for the future of the Xianbei people, they must win this battle.
"Chief, there is news from behind that the leaders of several major tribes agree with your measures and are already gathering the surrounding tribes. In this battle, we, the Xianbei tribe, will be able to drive Xiliang out of the grassland!"
The Xianbei people learned from the previous failure experience of the Qiang people and knew that whether they retreated or took the initiative to fight Xiliang at this time, they would play into Xiliang's hands.
Needless to say, the Xiliang army's defensive capabilities were not to be overstated. At that time, countless Qiang armies besieged a main force in Xiliang. It took a long time and a huge price was paid, but they were not able to capture the Xiliang army.
Although this has the advantage of Xiliang being in passive defense, on the other hand it also shows the strong defensive power of Xiliang's army.
The last way to fight against Xiliang is to delay.
Xiliang not only has to face the Xianbei tribe, but also faces the siege of Bingzhou, Youzhou, Buddhism, and the King of Qin's army, so delaying it will be beneficial to the Xianbei tribe.
For the Xiliang army, the situation is getting worse and worse for them. In two months, the grassland will be plunged into ice and snow. At that time, it will be extremely difficult for the Xiliang army to transport food and grass.
Moreover, they transport supplies over long distances, and the losses on the road, as well as the food and clothing of the soldiers, will drag Xiliang into the abyss.
They just need to let Xiliang and Chen Bing stay on the grassland.
"Go back and tell the young patriarch to give the fine wines I have collected to the leaders of the three major tribes. Thank you for their support."
The leader of the Xianbei tribe, Fu, was very grateful to the leaders of the three major tribes who were helping them deal with those tribes in the rear. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xiliang Zhongzhong was using the same method as the Qiang tribe to deal with the Xianbei tribe.
If there is no strong force to suppress the situation in the rear, and there are no people with enough prestige to suppress the situation, the soldiers on the front line will definitely choose to go home and return to their own tribe.
They cannot watch their family members die in the rear, while they are here on the front line, unable to do anything.
Why are these soldiers willing to come to the front line to fight against the Xiliang army? Don’t they want to protect their homeland?
Now their loved ones are in danger, but they are eating and drinking well on the front line. How can they sit still!
Once the news spreads faster from the rear, two or three tribal scouts will come over and tell the soldiers the news from the rear.
Needless to say, the morale of frontline soldiers. In a large-scale military war, it is not only the weapons and equipment and the physical fitness of the soldiers, but more importantly, morale!
The news coming from the rear will definitely affect the morale of the soldiers.
They were originally inferior to the Xiliang army, but now they relied on their numerical advantage, and they had a large number of cavalry, so the Xiliang army did not dare to fight them in the wild or take the initiative to attack.
If morale drops and soldiers only want to go home, causing some unrest, problems will arise across the entire front.
"Yes!" said the messenger. The Xianbei clan leader nodded and signaled the soldiers to go down. The soldiers bowed respectfully and walked out of the tent.
A bald man walked out of the tent: "Xiliang's army is really pervasive and everywhere!
It was able to sneak attack on Barong Lake, the holy land of the Qiang people, causing the Qiang army to be in chaos, and now it suddenly appears behind your Xianbei army. No one knows where this Xiliang army rushed behind you."
"Master, don't you have any news?" The Xianbei clan leader was afraid of being assassinated by Xiliang masters, so he had long ago asked the Buddhists to send a strong man to protect him.
Colleagues should also make use of the powerful intelligence system of Buddhism. Don’t think that after Buddhism left the Central Plains, they had no connections or any intelligence in the Central Plains.
If Buddhism did not have this ability, it would have been wiped out by other sects long ago.
"No, according to our Buddhist intelligence, no one has seen the Xiliang army break through your Xianbei people's defense line.
However, according to our Buddhist speculation, it is very likely that the Xiliang army climbed over countless mountains and valleys from the barren mountains behind, and finally came to the back of the grassland to conquer the major ethnic tribes there.
Then bring these ethnic tribes who have taken refuge in Xiliang to attack your Xianbei tribe from behind." The old monk closed his eyes and said: "Only this explanation can explain why so many Xiliang troops suddenly appeared in your Xianbei tribe.
The rear of the clan."
The speculation on the Buddhist side is not based on imagination or groundless theory, but is a speculation they made based on some intelligence from Jiuyuan County in the northwest and the sudden appearance of the Xiliang army.
Most of the stones in Jiuyuan County in the northwest come from barren mountains. The Xiliang army has been mining stones there for many years, whether for building cities or roads.
Most of the stones used came from barren mountains, so they suspected that the Xiliang army had just dug a road from the northwest to the back of the grassland in these years.
Of course, this is just their speculation, and they don't quite believe that Xiliang can dig such a road. The difference is not one or two hundred miles.
The alpine canyons in the barren mountains are no worse than those in the Qinling Mountains. The only thing lacking may be that there are not many plants and creatures in the barren mountains.
"This is impossible." The Xianbei clan leader did not believe it: "Maybe they used some means that we don't know about, such as the teleportation array that appeared in the chaotic world. Xiliang got a lot of things in the chaotic world."
The Xianbei tribe chief would rather believe that the reason why the Xiliang army appeared behind them was because Xiliang King Li Xiang obtained the method of making the teleportation array from the Chaos World.
Therefore, I was able to send so many troops to the rear of the Xianbei tribe, but I also had a hint of recognition of Buddhism's guess. There is a road in the Qinling Mountains eight thousand miles away, and the barren mountains...
