Tai Shici had the same opinion as Murong Fu and others, that is, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Hun soldiers did not kill horses to satisfy their hunger, and their morale was low. Zhao Yi's formation is very exquisite, Tai Shici and Murong Fu are very admired, but this kind of formation can block the Hun soldiers once or twice impact, not necessarily can block the continuous impact of the Hun soldiers.

The question raised by Tai Shici was considered by Zhao Yi after besieging the Wuhuan soldiers, and he naturally wanted to cut through the chaos quickly and annihilate all the Hun soldiers, but as soon as the Hun soldiers were not eliminated at the moment, they still had the strength to fight desperately, and if they attacked the city gate, the officers and soldiers would definitely suffer heavy casualties. Second, the number of officers and soldiers under his command is too small, and if he fights hard with the Hun soldiers, it is still unknown whether he can fight hard.

These two reasons made Zhao Yi besiege but not attack, and could only wait and see. There is only one reason, that is, the strength of his soldiers is too weak, if the combat strength of the official army is similar to that of the Wuhuan cavalry, Zhao Yiyan will use this method. After destroying the Xiongnu grain and grass camp, he led his men and horses to attack the Xiongnu army.

Zhao Yi shook his head and sighed, telling what he was worried about. Tai Shici and the others' faces were not very good-looking, Zhao Yi was reasonable, the combat strength of his soldiers was indeed not comparable to that of the Hun soldiers.

"Your Excellency has a point, but this matter is urgent. If our department does not use extraordinary means, I am afraid it will be difficult to block the Xiongnu soldiers of the Qiangqu Department in the city of Guangning. Tai Shici bowed down and said, at this time, the official army has entered a dilemma, attacking Guangning County is not, and it is even worse if it leaves Guangning County. It made Tai Shici have a headache.

Quickly annihilating the Qiangqu department, Zhao Yi had thought about it a long time ago, but he didn't think of a way. If you want to quickly kill the 50,000 Xiongnu army, in addition to a strong attack, you can only use fire or water attack. But Zhao Yi does not have these two conditions at present, so he can only take this stupidest method.

"The general is reasonable, but this matter has become what it is now, and it can only go on like this." Zhao Yi walked back and forth in the military tent, and finally ordered the soldiers to guard it strictly. If the Xiongnu soldiers were allowed to escape from Guangning County, the Yi tribes of the various departments of Youzhou would not take Zhao Yi's official army in their eyes, and the invasion of Youzhou would happen from time to time.

In order to deter the Yi tribes of Youzhou, Zhao Yi has already made up his mind that even if he uses the power of Youzhou, he will destroy the Hun soldiers.

After besieging the Qiang Canal, Zhao Yi had already issued orders to the various ministries in Youzhou, so that the border counties would be strictly guarded. Deal with the attack of the Yi tribe. Unless the county town of Youzhou is breached, Zhao Yi can endure the big things.

Zhao Yi's camp outside the city of Guangning County became a temporary state capital. The herald soldiers conveyed the things approved by Zhao Yi to the counties one by one.

The carriage escorting grain and grass came and went to the official army camp, and the eyes of the Hun soldiers on the city wall flashed, so five days passed, the Hun soldiers dozed off on the city gate with their spears in their hands, and the soldiers were pale on their faces, and they shook back and forth on the city wall weakly, but they were not afraid of the official army attacking the city, for the Hun soldiers, the official army attacking the city was exactly what they wanted, and they had long wanted to fight to the death with the official army. Whether it is to exterminate the official army or to be exterminated by the official army, this is a relief for the Hun soldiers.

However, the official army besieged but did not attack, so that the Hun soldiers on the city wall were very powerless. Qiang Qu saw the burst of cooking smoke in the official army camp, looked down at the willow leaves and petals in his bowl, handed the bowl to the soldiers beside him, and sighed deeply.

The army is short of food and grass, and the soldiers have eaten everything they can eat in the past few days, and the willow leaves and petals are already good food. Although the situation of the army is now bad, Qiangqu has not lost confidence.

A few days ago, Qiangqu saw rats drilling into the city at the city gate, and he had a whimsical idea to dig a tunnel and leave Guangning County. If the hole is dug open, the Hun soldiers can pass through the ground, and the war horses will not have any defects.

This is a good solution, but Qiangqu ignores an important issue. In the past five days, the soldiers of the Qiang Canal have been busy digging holes, and after these few days of hard work, not only have they not been able to dig the tunnel, but because of the collapse, hundreds of officers and soldiers of the department have died, which makes the Qiang Canal quite distressed.

As soon as Qiangqu walked down the city gate, he saw a Hun soldier saying a few words in the ear of the general, and the general's face changed. Inform Qiang Qu truthfully of the soldier's report just now: "General, there are already soldiers who have begun to slaughter war horses to satisfy their hunger. What should we do about it? ”

Hearing this, Qiangqu's footsteps paused, for the Hun soldiers, the war horse was their second life. What did the soldiers rely on to slaughter the horses and engage the officers and soldiers in the future.

If this kind of thing happened in normal times, Qiangqu would definitely deal with it strictly, but now that food and grass are in short supply, if the war horses are not slaughtered, the soldiers will starve to death. It is understandable to do such an extraordinary thing at an extraordinary time, although Qiang Qu has a plan in his heart, but he still asked the general: "How should the general deal with this matter?" ”

The general raised his eyes and saw that Qiang Qu's face had not changed significantly, and he didn't know what Qiang Qu was thinking, so he could only say tentatively: "This is an extraordinary time, although the soldier's move is wrong, but it is excusable. The last general felt that it should be dealt with lightly. "At this time, people have nothing to eat, and it is normal to eat war horses, so you can't guard war horses and let people starve to death.

Qiang Qu sighed and walked two steps: "The soldiers who slaughtered the war horses do not need to be punished, and there is no need to report me if such a situation occurs in the future." As soon as Qiang Qu said this, the representative agreed that the soldiers would slaughter the war horses to satisfy their hunger.

The general exhaled secretly, secretly saying that his leader was reasonable and knew how to be flexible. Although Qiangqu agreed to do so, the general still reminded Qiangqu: "Although this move can solve the urgent needs of our army, it is not a long-term solution." Our soldiers can slaughter some of the horses, but they can't slaughter all of them. It can also be used in battles with officers and soldiers. ”

This general is right, killing the war horse can solve the urgent need of the official army, but it can't last long. If the horses are seriously damaged after a long time, the soldiers of the department will still face such a dilemma. The general's words were to warn Qiangqu, although there were war horses to fill the hunger, but during this period, Qiangqu still could not relax the attack on the official army.

Qiang Qu did not have any special reaction to this general's words, but beckoned him to come to the mansion, took out the map of the various departments of Youzhou from his arms, and pointed to the northern part of Youzhou, which was the Xianbei Kebi Energy Department.

A gloomy smile appeared on Qiang Qu's face: "At this moment, our army has contained the main force of the Youzhou official army, if the Xianbei Kebi Neng Department attacks Youzhou at this moment, do you say that Zhao Yi's official army is to encircle us or resist the Kebi Neng cavalry?" ”

Hearing Qiang Qu's words, the general's face showed joy: "Yes, the leader really has a good plan." "Now the Hun soldiers are forced into a dilemma by the official army, but the situation of the officers and soldiers of Youzhou is exactly the same as that of the Hun soldiers.

If the Kebi Neng Department invades Youzhou, the main force of the official army led by Zhao Yi is also in a dilemma, and several generals around Qiangqu are full of joy, but some people are worried: "Although the leader's strategy is good, but at this time, the three departments of Kebineng are attacking and killing each other, and at this moment the situation in Youzhou Kebineng does not know, and besides, after the previous battle with the official army, coupled with the rush and killing of Suli's department, it has been seriously injured, and it is not yet known whether it can break through the official army of Shanggu County." ”

This one will be said well, if it weren't for the three Xianbei tribes of Kebineng, Budugen and Suli. Their Hun soldiers An Neng safely crossed the border and invaded Youzhou.

This general's words made Qiang Qu's eyes flash, what the general said was very reasonable, not to mention that Ke Bineng's department did not know the situation in Youzhou at this time, even if he knew whether the strength in his hands could compete with the official army was still unknown.

Qiang Qu's face was gloomy, and he stroked his beard and walked back and forth in the hall: "If we send two people to inform Kebi Neng and Su Li of the situation in Youzhou at this time, can we make the two of them turn the war into jade silk, and the two troops and horses will unite together to deal with the Shanggu official army?" ”

"The main force of the official army in Youzhou has been firmly tied to us in Guangning County at this moment, and Youzhou at this time is a big meatloaf, who doesn't want to take a bite." The general nodded, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Compared with the sneak attack on the officers and soldiers, the ventilation report is naturally much more secretive, and the risk is also much smaller. Qiang Qu selected two eloquent men from among his soldiers and handed over the matter to these two men.

The details of the operation had already been finalized with them, and they were only waiting for the sky to be overcast and let the two escape from the city wall.

When the two men fled, Qiang Qu personally came to the city gate to see them off, although the positions of these two people were not high, but they carried all the hopes of their Hun army. So everyone is very dignified.

The two men were very neat, and they fell lightly from the city gate with ropes, and then rolled on the spot for a week and hid themselves in the darkness.

Seeing that the two of them had left safely, the Qiang Qu on the city wall exhaled deeply and ordered the soldiers to wait for news.

After a few more days, the painful neighing of war horses was often heard in Quang Ninh County, and then calm was restored. The Hun army finally stopped hiding it, and slaughtered the war horses to satisfy their hunger. The daily ration of tens of thousands of troops is quite a lot, and hundreds of war horses are needed.

In less than five days, the Hun soldiers have killed thousands of war horses, and I am afraid that it will not take more than two months for all the war horses to be killed by their own soldiers.

"A month should be enough, right?" Qiang Qu stared at the horse meat on the table that exuded a strong aroma and sighed, in addition to Kebineng and the Suli tribe, in the past few days, Qiang Qu ordered several groups of soldiers to bring their own handwritten letters to tell Goguryeo and Fuyu in the east about the situation in Youzhou at this moment.

Qianfan Qiangqu originally planned to dominate Youzhou after defeating Zhao Yi's official army, but did not want to divide Youzhou equally with the rest of the tribes. But at this time, Qiangqu couldn't care so much, if he didn't unite with the rest of the tribes, his tens of thousands of soldiers would be starved to death.

With such a three-sided attack, even if Zhao Yi had the ability to turn the sky upside down, he would not be able to deal with the attack of so many Yi soldiers. As long as he can support himself for a month, then Youzhou will collapse and the siege will disappear.

"It's been five days now, and the two of them should be in the Kebineng tribe now, right?" Qiang Qu stared at the northern void and muttered to himself.
