Generally speaking, the combat strength of Zuo Xiaoguo Army is currently the same as that of Golden Wolf Army, because they have not experienced further training. If they want to create a strong army like Wei Wuzu, they will not be able to achieve it in less than two years.

However, Qin Hu's five-and-a-half-meter long spear and rigorous military formation were superior to the Golden Wolf Army, and his military discipline was much better than that of the Golden Wolf Army. Therefore, the two sides had an advantage during the attack.

Jie Lishuai's army launched four fierce attacks, but the Great Steel Wall of Zuo Xiaoguo's army remained unmoved. Each time, corpses were left on the ground, forcing them to retreat and unable to break through.

"Chuluo Khan, Qin Hu's army is not afraid of death and has strong fighting power. We can't break through from the front. It's better to retreat first, surround the city, and wait for him to run out of food and grass and collapse on his own."

Tuque General Cao Pantuo from the Western Regions' advice to Chu Luo was quickly recognized. Although Chu Luo wanted to avenge his shame, he also saw that no matter how fiercely he attacked, he could not shake Qin Hu's troops. He could only

Stop loss immediately.

The Tuque army receded like a tide, which made Qin Hu and all the generals breathe a collective sigh of relief. However, the crisis was not resolved, and instead became bigger and bigger in a short period of time.

Qin Hu needs the cooperation from the outside. In this case, as long as Tuque loses a battle, his morale will immediately drop to the bottom and he will never get up again.

After all, the killing of the Great Khan was a very humiliating thing. Even though they are full of grief and anger now, they will be depressed immediately after they calm down after returning.

"From Youzhou to Hedong, there is only the Taihang Mountains. I dare to say that Qin Shubao's army has now left Shanggu County and entered the prairie. And Su Dingfang and Zhang Xutuo's powerful Hebei army can definitely cross within two days.

Jingxingkou, entering Hedong territory. This is still slow."

In fact, Qin Hu believed that Su Dingfang and Zhang Xutuo should be able to reach Hedong before tomorrow night, and once they cross Taihang, they can form a huge pressure on Tuque.

"But we only have enough food for two days, and we will be hungry the day after tomorrow." Li Jing said with some worry.

"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. It depends on whether Qin Shubao, Luo Yi and Zhang Xutuo can react quickly enough. If they are not fast enough, they will be hungry and there is nothing they can do." Don't look at what Qin Hu said to the generals. In fact, he said to the generals:

Qin Shubao and Su Dingfang both have great confidence.

The next day, the Tuque people continued to launch revenge attacks. This time the entire army was dispatched to fight to the death with Zuo Xiaoguo's army outside the city.

The battle started in the early morning and lasted until that night. For six hours, the military formations of both sides were completely broken up. It was the cavalry's turn to play a role. However, the strength of the Xiaoguo Army's cavalry was not weaker than that of the Tuque Wolf Cavalry. Everyone

The three war horses take turns in battle, and in the end the competition is about physical strength and endurance.

The Tuque people were dying. With Qin Hu personally going into battle to boost morale, the Xiaoguo Army gritted its teeth and persisted until the end. However, the Golden Wolf Army, which was fighting on an hungry stomach and exhausted to the limit of physical strength, was finally defeated. Qin Hu took the opportunity to launch a general offensive.

, pursued for thirty miles and killed more than 20,000 enemy troops.

However, there were too many people in Tuque, and Zuo Xiaoguo's army was at the end of its strength. He did not dare to pursue it anymore and hurriedly withdrew. After returning to the city, he counted the number of people and found that 20,000 horses died from exhaustion and 800 soldiers were lost.

people.

The battle reports were sent to the palace one by one, and Yang Shou's reply was always: "I understand, you have worked hard, and I will definitely fulfill my promise and reward you heavily."

Every time Fang Xuanling came back from the palace, she would tell Qin Hu: "The emperor is drunk and is dancing with Yu Wenhua and watching beautiful women."

After Jieli was defeated that night, he was lying in his tent sulking and drunk. At this time, Cao Pantuo suddenly rushed in and said angrily: "Oh no, Prince Jieli, our food and grass have been robbed."

.”

"Are you out of your mind? There are no enemy troops behind us. How could someone rob the food?" Jie Li thought he was frightened.

"The general doesn't know, but it's a fact. Your Highness, there is a strong force behind us, about 100,000 people. They crossed Taihang this afternoon and launched an attack on us in the evening. The combat effectiveness is very strong."

In fact, Su Dingfang and Zhang Xutuo were much faster than Qin Hu expected. It was unknown how many horses these two exhausted, and they actually entered Hedong a day and night ahead of schedule.

"The Great Yu Dynasty has set its sights on the Western Mountains. Except for Qin Hu, there are no strong soldiers at all. They have entered Hedong and the soldiers are exhausted. You can lead 50,000 cavalry for me and raid their camps overnight, killing them without leaving a single piece of armor."

Since the beginning of the war, apart from some losses today, the Tuque people have suffered sporadic casualties that don't matter at all. There are still 270,000 soldiers and horses.

So Jie Li still didn't take Su Dingfang and Zhang Xutuo's reinforcements to heart.

However, Cao Pantuo stayed all night, and it was not until early the next morning that the scouts sent back the battle report. Cao Pantuo said that he had been ambushed on a large scale, and that they were more capable than we thought. They were fighting fiercely all night. At present, he

Tens of thousands of people have been lost.

"Is my Ying Yang army so vulnerable?" Jie Li didn't believe it at all. He thought Cao Pantuo was too useless, so he immediately sent another group of troops to rescue him.

But as the morning passed, the news came back one by one. They had already made full preparations and were very good at fighting. We could not win the position and fell into a hard battle.

Jie Li ordered all nearby camps to go to support. No matter what, he had to rescue these people first.

At night, the two sides finally broke apart, and Jieli's head became bigger. The physical strength and endurance of these people were simply abnormal. Aren't they afraid of dying from exhaustion?

This is not a war, this is clearly a struggle.

He had not slept a wink all day and night, and at this moment, Chuluo's envoy came over and asked him to hurry over for a meeting. The Khan was very anxious.

Jieli hurriedly arrived at Chuluo's camp.

Inside the golden tent, the lights were dim, and there was no one around Chuluo to serve him. He could only see his eyes red, holding a letter in his hand, and whispering: "Come in quickly, something happened."

"Khan, what's wrong?"

Chuluo Khan nervously said to him: "It's not good, Kehe Dun sent someone to send a message, saying that Tiele and a Dayu general named Qin Shubao wanted to raid the Yinshan Royal Court, and they were already close to the prairie.

Here, I have just received information that Tiele has withdrawn the siege of Mayi County. This is obviously because he heard that Shibi Khan was killed in battle and wanted to take advantage of it."

Jie Li stamped his feet anxiously: "There is something going on in the north. We must hold on to our foundation. Why don't we withdraw our troops and sweep Tiele first? The Yu Dynasty will have no time to take care of themselves. We will have many opportunities to deal with them in the future. What does Khan think?"

What does Chu Luo think?

Chu Luo believed that this was the only way at the moment. It didn't matter if they couldn't defeat Yang Shou. If they couldn't defeat Tiele, they would have no place on the prairie.

That is the real subjugation of the country.
