The size of the Great Food Army far exceeded that of the Persian army, and although Kusi Lao decided to fight it to the end, he did not get to the point of being confused when he was hot-headed, and he was stunned and had a hard time with others.

This time, Ku Si Lao still used the harassment tactics he learned from the Shenwu Army, focusing on the big cannibal squad and the team transporting supplies to attack, and once a large number of big cannibals rushed over, he immediately collected his troops and retreated.

After a few days, although it failed to have a serious impact on the Great Eclipse army, it still gave Mahdi a headache.

Looking at the military reports sent in front of him, which were all bits and pieces, Mahdi frowned and asked Saeed for a solution.

Saeed spread his hands, he didn't have any good way, the other party made it clear that the purpose was to disgust Mahdi, and he didn't dare to fight him head-on, which was like letting an elephant and a fly duel, although the elephant had an absolute advantage, it was not so easy to kill the fly at once.

After thinking about it for a while, Said still suggested:

"Although the Persians hate it, they have not yet reached the point of threatening the rear of our army, and besides, they will not be able to last long, so in order not to delay the march, Your Highness can leave thousands of people to monitor and contain, and the army will continue to move eastward as usual. As long as it is delayed for a while, the other party's food and grass will naturally disperse!"

"No, this is the hinterland of the empire after all, and if you indulge the Persian soldiers like this, it will definitely create an illusion for many Persians in the empire, which will bring extremely adverse effects and consequences!"

A punch slammed down on the table, Mahdi said in a fierce voice. His statement is also correct, but the starting point and angle of the two people look at the problem are different.

For the sake of the big picture, it is necessary to spend some brains, even at a certain cost, to eliminate this extremely nasty Persian army.

Next, the Great Eaters began the process of seducing and suppressing the Persians.

The two sides have come and gone, and neither can fundamentally help the other.

However, Mahdi learned of the important news from his captives that the Persian soldiers who were fighting against him were personally led by the Persian prince Quslao.

Hearing this news, Mahdi was very excited, if he could capture Kuslao alive, the blow to Persia would not only be the loss of 10,000 people.

At the same time, Kusi Lao was also racking his brains to deal with Mahdi, and there were small losses in several encounters, in order to further harass the other party and preserve his strength, he only picked up a team of 100 people for ambush, and each ambush was successful with a single blow.

Soon, the captives captured during the ambush received important news that the Great Food Soldiers would have a large convoy of food to arrive here in two days, with enough food to support an army of 30,000 for about half a month.

Elder Kusi felt that this was an opportunity, and if he could take advantage of this opportunity to destroy this batch of grain, it would greatly delay the process of the eastward advance of the Great Food Army.

However, since the other side wants to transport such a large batch of grain, there will definitely be heavy escorts. Since there is a general escort, whether it can be retreated with all its bodies will become a thorny problem.

If you get stuck in it, you probably won't be able to get out.

Thinking of this, Ku Si Lao hesitated again, after all, the net worth and life of tens of thousands of Persian warriors were decided by his own thoughts, and he must not make a hasty decision.

However, three days later, when batch after batch of grain trucks appeared in view, his mind was alive again.

It's really painful to see a lot of opportunities slip away in front of you.

When he saw the well-guarded elite Great Food Cavalry, he couldn't help but feel that attacking the grain convoy was an extremely dangerous idea, and he had a hunch that this might be a tempting trap.

That night, after consulting with his generals, Kuth finally made a decision to make a tentative attack, and if there was no abnormality, he would take further action depending on the situation. As soon as there is an abnormal troop movement of the Great Eclipse Army, it will be evacuated immediately.

In the middle of the night, the Persian infantry suddenly attacked the temporary camp of the grain transport team, and the big food soldiers were caught off guard and responded to the panic.

After snatching some food to carry with them, the Persian soldiers set fire to the temporary camp, which was not very large, and then set sail away.

When the food guards from the other camps arrived, they could only look at the raging flames and be helpless.

For two days in a row, Ku Si Lao concocted the same method and burned two large food and grain teams, and the other party's reaction was a little slower, and it was always late after the fire started.

Kusi Lao decided to change his routine, and after two successes, he became bolder, more open-minded, and more cautious.

The Persian army only used small groups of men and horses to attack the grain convoy to attract the grain guards, and then set up a large number of ambushes on the way, waiting for reinforcements to pass by and then swarmed up.

Sure enough, the big food soldiers were not suspicious of fraud, and when they hurried to help, they were caught off guard, and seven or eight of the big food soldiers who fell into the ambush formation became unjustly killed.

When Mahdi learned of the night's fiasco, he also grinned in distress.

"It's obviously a drama, but it's really a trick ......"

Looking at the distressed Prince of Great Food, Said comforted:

"It's really better to do the fake show, although it has paid a lot of price, but it also makes Ku Silao completely paralyzed, which is more conducive to our next decoy and annihilation operation!"

Mahdi nodded heavily.

"You're right, victory always comes at a price, the blood of the Great Food Warriors will not be shed in vain, I will avenge them!"

It turned out that everything in the past few days was deliberately arranged by Mahdi and Said, the convoy carrying grain and grass was burned, and the reinforcements came late, all on purpose. Who would have expected that Kuth would have played a trick of luring the enemy to send reinforcements, so that Mahdi lost thousands of cavalry overnight.

This was the worst defeat in a single battle since he led the troops. Because, after the Persian soldiers retreated, there were hardly any corpses left, in other words, their casualties were very small compared to those of the Great Food Soldiers.

So, despite the unexpected episode of the trick to lure the enemy, Mahdi's face was also not good-looking, after all, he had fallen for the tricks of the Persians, whom he despised him.

But in the external propaganda, this is just acting, so Mahdi will not be too embarrassed, only a very small number of generals know that the "fiasco" of that night is a real fiasco!

Soon, Kusi Lao spotted a strange convoy in the grain convoy that was heading eastward one after another, and his concealment aroused his strong curiosity, and after sending out his rangers to do an all-round reconnaissance, he came to a conclusion.

This strange convoy may be carrying more than just food, it may be very valuable!
