Baijiantan is a small and inconspicuous place on the map, and it is still included in the map only because there is an underground river flowing through it, so there is a small waterhole here. www.biquge.info This waterhole is sometimes large and small depending on the season, and when it is large, it is only a mile away, and when it is small, it is just that the ground is wet. Moreover, the water is alkaline and bitter, so under normal circumstances, no one wants to go here.

And the reason why Ye Erxian came here was completely out of necessity, because he went in the wrong direction in the desert and missed the important supply water point. If it was just a small group of men, then he didn't have to come here, just find an oasis along the way to solve the problem, but unfortunately his army still has a scale of 17,000 people at this time, which is not something that an oasis can satisfy.

If there were other locations to choose from, Ye'er would not have this Baijiantan because its location was really not ideal. Since Lu Qinghan's sneak attack on the Battle of the Tianshan Mountains, the road leading to Tuqi at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains is no longer exclusive to the Tuqi family, although the number is not large and the frequency is not frequent, but the rangers of the Silk Country will still haunt this route from time to time, in order to reconnoiter the movements of Tuqi and launch attacks on some smaller targets. Of course, Ye Erxian's army will not be the target of these rangers, but the problem is that the location of Baijiantan is close to the control area of the Silk Country, so the possibility of encountering the Silk Country Rangers along this line is greatly increased. In order to survive, Ye Er had to do this first, and the only hope was not to be discovered by the other party, or it was only a small force that discovered his whereabouts.

It's a pity that Ye Er was also unlucky first, and as a result, he was not only discovered by the Silk Country, but also encountered a large army.

At the beginning, Ye Er only encountered a ranger unit from the Silk Country, and the number was only about a hundred. Unfortunately, however, the rangers had just left the large army -- the 3,000-strong cavalry corps of Ge Boling, a cavalry general under Liu Xianzhi of the Taiyuan Jinglue Mansion, was 500 miles away from Baijiantan. The rangers who encountered Ye Erxian immediately retreated at full speed after a brief contact, they had already figured out the size of the other party, and for an army of this size, the only place nearby that could go was Baijiantan.

After receiving the report from the rangers, Ge Boling reported to Lu Qinghan, the commander in the rear, and immediately set off with the whole army, and rushed to Baijiantan in only three days. Although Ge Boling is a guy who doesn't like to talk nonsense in the city, the entire Taiyuan Jingluo Mansion knows that he is the cavalry general that Liu Xianzhi relies on the most, and although Lu Qinghan is the commander-in-chief of the cavalry, he is inferior to Ge Boling in terms of the use and training of cavalry tactics.

Based on the intelligence of the rangers, Ge Boling immediately judged that although this army, which was mainly infantry, was large in number, it would not move very fast, and if it could pollute the water source there before they reached Baijiantan, this enemy army could be completely wiped out in the desert.

God finally did not completely abandon Ye Erxian, or Ye Erxian, as an excellent general, still did preventive work after encountering the enemy rangers, and his 5,000 vanguard troops still arrived at Baijiantan before Ge Boling's troops.

Ignoring the fatigue of the march, Ge Boling resolutely launched an attack on the 5,000 vanguard troops.

With 5,000 infantry marching against 3,000 elite cavalry, it was a battle without suspense, but the 5,000 hungry and thirsty troops had the strength to go beyond the limit in order to survive, and launched a counterattack on Ge Boling's cavalry like madness.

Taken aback by the opponent's will to fight, Ge Boling immediately adjusted his tactics, he pretended to be defeated and fled. Shocked by this sudden victory, Ye Erxian could hardly believe that he could survive, and after a short period of shock, he erupted into earth-shaking cheers, and then began to pounce on Baijiantan and drink the bitter and astringent water.

At this time, Ge Boling's cavalry turned back and attacked again, and at this time, Ye'er's army had already lost its formation, let alone the will to fight just now. The army, which was already at an absolute disadvantage, suddenly became the target of ravage, and Ge Boling's cavalry harvested a large number of heads like chopping melons and vegetables. In just one meal, Ye Erxian's 5,000 soldiers lost more than 3,000, and the remaining troops were completely defeated.

Ge Boling didn't pursue it too much, his main purpose was to pollute the water of Baijiantan, and as long as he mastered this, he would be sure to win. However, Ge Boling miscalculated one point, that is, this was the time when the water level of Baijiantan was at its highest, and his troops did not attack specifically for poisoning, so the only poison did not completely pollute the water source of Baijiantan. At this time, Ye Erxian's headquarters also rushed to Baijiantan.

Including Ye Erxian himself, his troops were already red-eyed at this time - if there was no water source, it would be a dead end. For water, his troops turned into mad beasts, roaring and rushing towards Ge Boling. Ge Boling, who had already tasted the opponent's sacrifice and attack, would not suffer a second loss, and he immediately led his army to retreat.

Under Ye Erxian's organization, this time the troops took water in an orderly manner, leaving Ge Boling with no chance. After obtaining the water source, Ye Er first led the troops to start marching north, he knew that this place could not stay for a long time, he could still deal with the 3,000 people in front of him, and it would be bad if there were backup troops. Ge Boling's cavalry followed them like wolves chasing their prey, waiting for the opportunity that might arise.

Soon, the opportunity presented itself. Although Ge Boling's poison failed to pollute the entire water, it caused a considerable number of minor poisoning phenomena among Ye Erxian's subordinates. In the desert, this mild poisoning causes vomiting and diarrhea that can be equally fatal. Soon Ye Erxian's troops began to appear behind, and these people became ghosts under the knife without exception. Fortunately, Ye Erxian's command was right, and Ge Boling did not leave more opportunities, and after five days of pursuit, Ge Boling chose to retreat - his water source was about to run out, and he had to return to his territory before he fell into a desperate situation. Ye Erxian was finally able to get rid of the enemy army and return to the territory of Tuqi, but in the process he lost thousands of men.

Ye Er was able to rush to Dragon City before the deadline, and Abicialir naturally didn't want to punish him again, but when he set off, there were only 8,000 left, which still made him angry, especially when he learned that Ge Boling's cavalry team had attacked and killed nearly 10,000 people, and he was even furious when he decided to send troops to destroy this cavalry team in retaliation.
