The cavalry of the Great Zhou Dynasty scattered was like a group of wild wolves, following the breath of prey, biting the extremely tall giant man of the Liao Kingdom, and from time to time they would tear off a piece of bloody flesh, making the Liao Kingdom even weaker.

As more and more Zhou troops joined the plundering team, for a time, the entire prairie was full of Zhou cavalry galloping everywhere. As long as they saw the tribes and small cities, they would not let go. After breaking through, they would plunder them all, leaving behind a group of hungry Liao people.

Even if you encounter large tribal cities like the Shangba tribe and direct cities of the Liao royal family, you are not afraid. Although you cannot force the attack because of too few people, you will show off your might, which makes the Liao nobles in the city truly feel what fear is.

They watched the Great Zhou cavalry like autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, killing the Liao army chasing out of the city, without leaving any armor, and the time of climbing caused panic and fear among the people and the nobles in the city.

As the results of the war continued to expand, the cavalry of the Zhou Kingdom even spread to the entire Liao territory. As for the Liao army, they were exhausted and could only shrink into the city in a hurry and shivered. Of course, many tribes attacked bravely, but they all failed. Even if they had small results, they did not pose any threat to the Zhou army. Instead, their own army was less and less, and they were gradually consumed, and later they lost both people and goods.

As time went by, after almost the same cleaning up the scattered tribes, Zhou State's eyes began to shift towards large tribal forces, and began to gather small-scale troops to launch attacks on important cities and passes of the Liao State.

Due to food reasons, the population of the Liao Kingdom was increasingly concentrated in cities. Large tribes like the Shangba tribes gathered a large number of people fleeing famines, almost filling the major cities under their jurisdiction. Most of the irrelevant small cities and remote areas were abandoned by them. This was also one of the main factors that caused the Zhou Kingdom's strategic change, because nothing could be grabbed outside the Liao Kingdom's city.

Inadvertently, the strategy of the Great Zhou had quietly changed, from guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare attacking everywhere to large-scale city battles. Moreover, every time the Zhou army captured an important city, it would repair it, strengthen the city defense, garrison troops, and reserve supplies, and provide strong support to the Zhou army and horses who were on the grassland, which also became a death talisman to accelerate the demise of the Liao Kingdom.

This quiet change naturally attracted the attention of those who were interested in the Liao Kingdom, especially the Great Liao Khan Yelu Qi who escaped from Changsheng Mountain.

At this time, he was curled up in the Liao Kingdom, Zhongjing Mansion silently licking his wounds, watching the cavalry of the Great Zhou galloping across the grassland, slaughtering his people, but did not dare to move. The strength of the Great Zhou had already scared him and had not yet escaped from the shadows.

However, he couldn't retreat now. Zhou State launched a large-scale deployment of troops to capture Liao's city, turning his original strategy into nothing. In his original plan, after the Zhou army defeated him, the main troops would slowly withdraw from Liao. Even if not all of them were withdrawn, at most they would occupy some of the essence on the border of Zhou and Liao.

After all, hundreds of thousands of troops were hung alone on the grassland for a long time, and people ate horses and chewed them. The materials and supplies consumed were astronomical. No matter how rich Zhou was, it would not be possible to supply so many troops for a long time. Moreover, he did not think that the little emperor of Zhou would like to see the land that was barren in Liao, which made him cry.

In his plan, after the Zhou army retreated on a large scale, he used the Zhongjing Prefecture where he lived as a base to summon troops loyal to him, lie dormant, wait for the opportunity, and sit and watch the turbulent winds and clouds, in order to make a comeback. Of course, it would be even better if the leaders of the Shangba tribes could be comforted and let them continue to recognize him as the great khan.

At that time, he can restore his strength in a short time with the name of the Khan of the Liao Kingdom, plus the tens of thousands of elite soldiers and some local soldiers who are loyal to him.

But the wishes are beautiful, but reality is often the cruelest. He did not expect that the Zhou State had no intention of retreating troops at all. Instead, he seemed to take root and stay forever, which made his plan a fool. Moreover, the Zhou army stationed on the grassland was no longer satisfied with looting the tribe, but began to attack the cities on the grassland, which immediately forced him to a dead end.

You should know that there are only about 200 cities on the entire prairie, and more than half of them are controlled by the Yelu family. The Yelu family also radiates the entire prairie as nodes through these cities to control the prairie, which is also the confidence of Yelu Qi to make a comeback.

But now the Great Zhou wants to dig his foundation and find his way out. Isn’t this going to kill his life? If there are no such cities and territory, what’s the use of him escaping with great effort? Thinking of this, Yelu Qi’s expression becomes firm. He can’t hesitate, otherwise he will not even have a chance to turn the tables.

"Hmph, since you want Ben Khan's life, Ben Khan will naturally not let you live." Yelu Qi thought viciously that he no longer wanted to escape anymore, and he could escape there even if he escaped. Could it be that his great Khan of Liao Kingdom would take refuge in other countries and let them humiliate them again? He had had enough of the days of running around.

Moreover, he was not without a chance to turn the tables. You should know that he is fighting on the land of the Great Liao Dynasty now. With hundreds of thousands of troops in Zhou State, only hundreds of thousands of troops could not be defeated. At most, he would defeat them one by one. If all the forces of the Liao State could be gathered into a rope, he believed that the Zhou army, which fought on multiple lines, would not be his opponent at all.

The most important point is that if he held high the banner of resisting Zhou, there would definitely be many loyal and righteous people gathered under his command. In this way, not only would he increase his strength, but his prestige that had already been declining will be condensed again, so that those who have ill-hearted hearts will be afraid of the country and will be in danger. If anyone openly opposes him, the supreme ruler of the Liao Kingdom, keeps orders and incites civil unrest, it will definitely become the target of public criticism.

Another reason why he was so confident that he could stop the Zhou army was that the Zhou State now destroyed and seized only some smaller tribal cities, or earthen encirclements, and some insignificant small tribes.

There was almost no loss in large tribes like the Shangba tribe and the large cities directly under the jurisdiction of the Yelu family. Of course, it was because these large cities were cast from giant stones imitated by the Song Dynasty, and the people built were all craftsmen robbed from the Song Dynasty. Their strength can be imagined, far from comparable to other small and medium-sized tribes' fooling around.
