"We chased all the way to the west, except for killing some small fish and shrimps, but we still failed to catch up with their main force."
After Li Qiye saw that the commander Liu Yidao's anger had dissipated a bit, he opened his mouth slowly.
"At first I thought they were running too fast, but now I suspect that their main force didn't run in the direction of Xiqiu Mansion at all, but fell behind us." Li Qiye analyzed.
"They are now attacking our transport team and ambushing our cavalry. Obviously, ordinary routs cannot do this, which shows that they are organized."
"And being able to destroy thousands of our elite cavalry in one battle shows that they have a large number of troops and strong combat effectiveness. They are likely to be their main force."
After hearing Li Qiye's analysis, the commander Liu Yidao couldn't help but frowned.
"They suffered heavy losses in the Ganshui River. Most of them were defeated and did not flee westward. Now that the remnants are behind us, what are they trying to do?" Liu Yidao was puzzled.
Li Qiye said murderously: "No matter what they want to do, our top priority is to completely eliminate them!"
"Otherwise, such a large group of enemies active behind us is a great threat to us."
"Especially, our army's food and grass are only enough for a week. Once the food and fodder in the back cannot be transported to the army, we will face the risk of running out of food"
After saying this, Li Qiye, chief of the Ministry of War, suddenly looked a little ugly, because he suddenly guessed the opponent's plan.
"They want to drag us down and defeat us." Li Qiye said suddenly.
"You mean, they cut off our supply channels and dragged us down?" Liu Yidao also became serious.
"Eight or nine is not far from ten."
"I didn't expect that the desert empire would have such a brilliant commander, and I almost fell for him." Li Qiye was also startled into a cold sweat on his back.
"Once we send a small group of troops back to search and wipe out, they will definitely be wiped out like the cavalry flag battalion."
"Once we send a large army back, they will definitely go around in circles with us and deliberately delay the time. They will not fight us until we run out of food and grass and retreat."
Liu Yidao and the others originally thought that they had the chance to win, and they only needed to pursue the retreating Desert Empire army.
However, it never occurred to them that the momentary carelessness of their rivals almost brought them into a state of doom.
"Report!"
Just at this moment, the voice of a dusty scout Qingqi sounded outside the door.
"My lord, my lord, the 22nd transportation team was attacked by the enemy in the southeast of Yunshan Town, and the food and fodder were looted by the enemy." The scout Qingqi said.
After hearing the scout's report, Liu Yidao and Li Qiye looked at each other, knowing that what they guessed just now was almost inseparable, and the enemy really wanted to defeat them by cutting off their food and fodder.
"We can't continue to move forward. Once the army runs out of food, it will be a world of ice and snow, and then we will be passive." Liu Yidao said decisively.
"you mean?"
Liu Yidao gritted his teeth and said, "The army will turn back and wipe them out!"
"We sent a flag group to walk along the main road to attract their main force, and another group of soldiers and horses pretended to be the main force and continued to pursue westward."
"Our main force is taking a small path and entering the Yunshan area to hide. Once they show up, we will annihilate them in one fell swoop!"
Liu Yidao, the commander of the third field army, quickly expressed his thoughts.
"I think it's feasible."
Li Qiye, chief of the Ministry of War, also nodded, agreeing to Liu Yidao's battle plan.
Soon, Li Yanzong, the head of the Eighth Banner Regiment of the Guards, received an order to lead the Eighth Banner Regiment of the Guards back to the Yunshan Town area immediately.
Li Yanzong's Eighth Banner Regiment of Guards were all barbarian warriors, brave and good at fighting, and not afraid of severe cold.
They defeated the elite armored soldiers of the Desert Empire in the Battle of Ganshui River, and only lost more than 5,000 people themselves, which also demonstrated their powerful combat effectiveness.
This time, in addition to sending Li Yanzong's Eighth Banner Regiment of Guards, Liu Yidao also gathered all the cavalry guards directly under the various banner regiments and legions, and assigned them to Li Yanzong's command.
In addition to the cavalry guards assigned to Li Yanzong.??He can command more than 20,000 infantry and cavalry, and if he encounters an attack from a large desert army, he can hold on until the main force arrives.
After receiving the order, Li Yanzong quickly led more than 20,000 cavalry to turn around and head towards Yunshan Town.
Li Yanzong knew very well in his heart that what they were facing might be the main force of the desert empire, and the opposing commander was also extraordinarily cunning and insidious, so he didn't dare to be careless.
This time, he also played up his spirits and sent a large number of scouts to scout out dangerous places along the way to avoid being ambushed.
After Li Yanzong set off, Li Qiye, the chief of the Ministry of War, led more than a dozen militia battalions of banner battalions to continue marching westward with great fanfare, approaching Xiqiu Mansion.
Liu Yidao led the main force of the Sixth Field Army, including the entire security army. They carried five days of dry food and threw all the luggage to Li Qiye.
"Master Marshal, the people from the Far East have sent troops back!"
In a village to the northeast of Yunshan Town, Marshal Ashnad was drinking with General Ge Shuying around the stove, and General Huo Jia walked in excitedly.
"Oh, how many people did they send this time?" Marshal Ashnad asked.
"The report from the horse scouts shows that there are at least 20,000 people, and they are a mixture of foot and horse." General Huo Jia replied.
"It seems that these Far Easterners still look down on us, thinking that we are just a small group of defeated soldiers."
After hearing General Huo Jia's words, Marshal Ashnard couldn't help but sneered.
"It is estimated that by the time the people from the Far East wake up, we will have eaten them up bit by bit." General Ge Shuying said with a smile.
When they were in the Ganshui River, they wanted to surround the river beach, give the Far Eastern army a false impression, let them send troops across the river continuously, and then consume each other one by one.
However, Ganshuihe's plan was not realized in the end, and now he is unintentionally trying to realize this plan.
The Far Eastern Army sent troops back in waves to wipe out their so-called remnants and defeated generals, and they could wipe them out one by one.
By the time the Far Eastern Army comes to their senses, it is estimated that they have already suffered heavy losses, and it will be time for them to turn defeat into victory.
"Pass down the order, all the ministries are on standby, and wait for the Far East Army to arrive at the Yunshan Town area before attacking. Don't scare them away."
Since the Far Eastern Army sent more than 20,000 people back to die, Marshal Ashnad was naturally not polite, and decided to eat this piece of fat.
Continuously attacked the transport team of the Far East Army, and wiped out a cavalry flag battalion that they had organized. Now the morale of the entire army of the Desert Empire has recovered.
But the proud Ashnard didn't know that their actions had angered Liu Yidao, the commander of the Far East Army.
Although it is apparent that only 20,000 troops have returned to Yunshan Town, in fact, a large number of Far Eastern Army troops are taking the path and heading straight into the Yunshan Town area. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
