Moreover, the Zhou army has now implemented the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, and the Turkic army will not prepare much grain and grass for the battle, and mainly rely on robbing the grain of the tribes and towns along the way for military food, and now the grain in the occupied territory of Hedong has long been scraped by them. The food consumption of the 800,000-strong army was not a small number, and the Khan was also anxious.

However, since he knew that Yuming was in this camp, he was not ready to attack the original first. After all, you can't catch Yuming by capturing the original, and the original is a large-scale fortified city, which is even more difficult to attack than the camp in front of you.

The spring moon is the season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom. But the war in Hedong has entered the most critical time.

Just beside the official road at the foot of this mountain, before you know it, the Zhou army has been fighting against the Turkic soldiers for a month. The confrontation between the two armies in the past month can only be described as cruel, bloody, tenacious and unyielding.

Although the Turkic army did not attack every day, it also attacked every five times. And their attacks were all crushed by the Zhou army without exception. The corpses of the Turkic soldiers inside and outside the camp had long been piled up, and the drainage ditch in front of the camp had even become a stream of blood.

The attitude of the Turks towards the Zhou army has changed a lot in the past month. From contempt and disdain at first, to surprise and sleepiness in the middle, and finally to fear and awe.

The weather began to heat up day by day, but the enthusiasm of the Turks slowly cooled.

They didn't expect that Zhou Jun would hold out for so long. What's even worse is that even the Khan can't predict how long the Zhou army can hold out!

The iron cavalry of the Turkic army had leveled the wasteland north of the original city for several miles, until it was under the original city. But since then, it has never been able to go further, not to mention that the original city cannot be captured, and even this large camp of the Zhou army has nothing to do.

Although the Turkic soldiers, under the supervision of their own khan, no longer dare to behave timidly. But in the face of the soldiers of the Zhou army, who are known for their bravery and perseverance, they have always been at a disadvantage.

Although after a month of attacking, defending, and stopping, the walls of the camp were already dilapidated. But the Zhou army used all available means to deal with the Turks.

They hid deep in the mountains, so that the Turks could not find a place to hide, and then from time to time they attacked the enemy. Not to mention those weapons with great lethality, such as crossbow chariots and catapults. Even a straw rope, a bamboo gun, and an iron nail in Zhou Jun's hands will become a killing blade in the mountains.

And in the mountains, because of the strange rocks and rugged mountains, the Turkic army is useless even if it is skilled in equestrianism. They had no choice but to abandon their horses and walk into the mountains to fight on foot.

The feasible mountains in the mountains are vertical and horizontal, and the terrain is complex, and even if the Turkic soldiers have more people, they will not be able to form an encirclement of the Zhou army under this terrain.

Although there are many other small ones entering the mountain, most of them are difficult to walk, and there are hidden murderous opportunities on the way. Although the Turkic army was constantly infiltrating, the Zhou army relied on the familiar terrain and divided into small groups to block and kill the enemy, and then the infiltrated enemy was either killed or driven down the mountain.

Later, the Turks had given up on entering the mountains, as that would mean death for them.

Therefore, they could only garrison outside the mountain, waiting for the day when the Zhou army's food would run out. And how long it will take for the Zhou army to run out of food, but no one knows.

But the Khan knew very well that he was afraid that he would not be able to wait for the Zhou army to run out of food, but he would first run out of food.

It was noon, and the Zhou army camp in the mountains had just opened lunch.

Now that the Turks are running out of food, the situation of the Zhou army is not much better than that of the enemy. There are not many grains of rice in the big pot in the camp, mainly rice soup, which is mixed with some wild vegetables from the mountains, and a whole pot is boiled.

Then the men stirred the rice porridge in the pot vigorously. It was then distributed to the Zhou soldiers who were waiting in line.

Although these wild vegetables are not delicious, rice porridge is also unpalatable. But after receiving this hodgepodge of gruel, none of the soldiers complained. Because they know that His Majesty has always been with them, eating and living together. They fought on the front line, and His Majesty fought on the front line. They eat these foods, and His Majesty eats the same foods, and there is no difference.

As long as the soldiers of the Zhou army thought that His Majesty the Emperor was also fighting and eating like them, they would have no complaints. Whether it is a group or an army, the most taboo thing is unfair treatment, which is the most likely to cause contradictions.

And at this moment, the emperor Yuming, whom they admired, also lined up to receive a bowl of food from the man, and then squatted on the ground while eating, while pulling home cooking with them. Let them be flattered. They all said that they would persevere even if they were tired and tired. We must not disgrace our families, disappoint Your Majesty, and never give up until we kill the Turks.

Yu Ming had a meal with the soldiers in the camp, and after pulling a little bit of homely cooking to boost the morale of the army, he returned to the big tent in the camp.

At this time, there were already several generals sitting in the big tent, and Wei Chi Jingde, Guo Yi, Lin Mo and others were already waiting here.

When they saw Yuming walking in, they all bowed in unison. Immediately, Wei Chi Jingde asked: "Your Majesty, the morale of our army is still high. It's just that now that the grain and grass are about to run out, I wonder if Your Majesty can find a way to raise military rations? ”

Yu Ming sat on the chair and said with a smile: "We are indeed running out of food and grass, but the Turks don't know it. And according to what I learned from Sister Red Sleeves, they are more short of food and grass than we are. If there is a question of which side will run out of food first, it must be them! Moreover, it has been a month now, and the sharpness of the Turkic soldiers has long been lost, and the longer it is consumed, the more favorable the situation will be for us. You can rest assured ......"

However, before he could finish speaking, the soldiers at the door said, "Your Majesty! The Ministry of Intelligence has a secret letter! ”

"Bring it in!"

Yu Ming answered, and then a messenger walked in, then bowed and saluted, and presented the letter to Yu Ming with both hands.

Yu Ming took it and looked at it for a moment, Fang Haha smiled: "A few generals, take a look, the master has lived up to expectations, showing his might on the grassland, the Western Turkic tooth tent has been breached, they are marching to Jinshan, and the next target is the original ****** tooth tent." ”

Several generals took the letter and looked at it, and they were all surprised and delighted: "Your Majesty, is this true?" General Li broke the Western Turkic tooth tent so quickly? ”

"Of course it's true!" Yu Ming smiled slightly and said, "Right now, this news must have also spread to the Turkic camp." It is estimated that the shooting is already in a hurry. Taking advantage of the fact that the Turks are worried about the steppe and have no intention of fighting, it is the best time for us to send troops to break the enemy. ”

Cheng Yanjin hurriedly asked: "Then Your Majesty has a way to break the Turkic army?" After all, after this month's losses and consumption, they still have 700,000 troops. ”

Yu Ming said: "The army of 700,000 looks a little scary, but in fact, it is not enough to worry about, not all of them are people who control the strings, and some are just auxiliary soldiers. And now that the Turks are demoralized, we can't defeat them in one fell swoop as long as we identify their weaknesses......"

Qin Qiong also said: "The Turks are dominated by cavalry, and they think that they are very good at cavalry and archery, and they despise our infantry very much. They didn't suffer from the Mo Dao Army, and if we made some chapters in this regard to lure them into taking the bait, we wouldn't be able to make a breakthrough. ”

"Hmm!" Yu Ming nodded, and then said to Lin Mo: "Mo, I have a plan that needs to be implemented by you......"

Lin Mo hurriedly stood up and saluted: "But by His Majesty's orders!" ”

"Good! That's what you'll do when the night falls......"

When night fell, Lin Mo took the two of his direct scout camps and quietly left the camp.

Although the hiking area is vast and stretches for several miles, after more than a month of garrisoning and blocking, Lin Mo has long been familiar with the terrain in the mountains.

The two of them were all fully armed, and took advantage of the night to copy the trail out of the mountain and run straight down the mountain.

Now the Turkic soldiers are stationed around the mountains to attack, and the Zhou army has been cowering in the mountains and not coming out, because many Turkic soldiers have relaxed their vigilance, and they did not all gather in the camp to rest, but set up tents near the mountains to sleep.

Lin Mo observed on the mountainside for a moment, and when he saw that there was no danger, he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to continue to advance.

These scouts are all elite soldiers brought out by Lin Mo, all of them are strong in martial arts, and five or six idle soldiers may not be able to beat him. They were as agile as tanuki, dressed in black clothes and black trousers, with black scarves on their heads, revealing only a pair of piercing eyes.

After walking for several miles, Lin Mo suddenly fell to the ground and listened.

After a moment, his eyes lit up, and he waved his hand.

The two scouts immediately dispersed and ambushed on both sides of the trail, but deliberately blocked it with stones.

After about a cup of tea, only the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and dozens of Turkic cavalry galloped towards the ambush circle of the Zhou army. Not long after, the Turkic soldiers suddenly stopped their horses.

It turned out that many stones had been piled up on the road ahead. The rocks weren't too big, but they kept their horses from jumping over.

So, the Turkic soldiers couldn't help but curse and dismount and prepare to move the boulder.

While they were cursing, Lin Mo had already shouted. The body rose into the air and landed on the horse of the Turkic captain at the front. The Turkic captain only felt a fierce aura attacking him, making him feel dangerous.

However, he had just turned around, and Lin Mo had already slashed the man's throat with a wave of the dagger in his hand. Immediately, he threw another right hand, and a dart flew out, hitting the of the Turkic soldier, knocking him off his horse.

The Turkic soldiers had already reacted and hurriedly pounced with shouts.

However, when Lin Mo launched, the scouts of the Zhou army had already received the news, and they also selected the target to launch a surprise attack. They were all highly selected martial arts warriors from the scouts of the Zhou army, and they were all agile and far superior to ordinary Zhou soldiers. And with more and less, where can the Turkic soldiers resist?
