The Anxi, like the Huns, when they were fighting, mostly ate meat, and occasionally ate some dry food. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Therefore, when the city behind Xerxes was captured, Xerxes himself was even actively seeking a decisive battle with the Qin army.

However, in the siege and defense of the city, the Qin army, no, it should be said that the whole of China has always been the ancestor of the world.

Especially now that Xerxes's back road has been cut off, how could the Qin army have a decisive battle with the Sabbatical Army, which is not much less numerous than itself?

Time passed, day by day, and the Sabbatical Army, which was still overwhelming before, seemed to hit a headlong on an invisible wall.

Whether it is to disperse the forces or gather them to storm a city, the effect is not great.

Moreover, no matter how they provoked the Qin army on top of those towers. The Qin army was also unmoved, and still did not come out of the city.

Qin Jun's shrunken head and tail made all the rest of the people hate itchy, and scolded these people for being cowards. No wonder the city is so beautiful.

However, unlike the resting generals who were carried away by victory and desire, Xerxes faintly sensed that something was wrong.

"How long will we have enough food for our cattle and sheep?" Xerxes looked at the map and casually asked King Maria on the side.

"There are still a lot of cattle and sheep, but there is only enough forage for two or three days." King Maliya replied respectfully.

However, who knew that Xerxes was shocked, frowned and asked, "Only enough forage for two or three days?" Didn't the people in the rear bring the fodder? ”

It stands to reason that the amount of forage in the army of the Sabbath army is generally kept at about ten days. However, now it is only enough to use it for two or three days, which is really abnormal.

Something went wrong in the rear! And it's a big problem!

"No wonder they closed their doors, they planned to wait for us to run out of food and grass!" Xerxes' gaze grew more and more solemn.

Today, it is no longer a question of whether the Marchiana region can be recaptured. The food and grass have been cut off, and the road back to them must have been blocked.

"We must retreat before we run out of forage!" Xerxes slapped the table, his eyes widened, and it was true that King Maria on the side was taken aback.

"Yes, yes!" King Maria did not dare to question Xerxes's decision, and although he was puzzled, he immediately responded.

"Hopefully, it's still too late!" Xerxes muttered softly in words that he could only hear.

"General! The enemy withdrew! ”

In Lanni City, Li Mu, as a lieutenant general, gently closed the book in his hand.

"Send a message to Han Xin and ask him to be careful not to let go of an enemy! Also, gather all the cavalry and follow me out of the city, and attack at the tail end! ”

"Whoa!"

After waiting for so long, the Qin army, who had also been holding back his strength, obviously couldn't wait to fight with his opponent.

In their eyes, outside the city gate, the towering ones are not people, but military exploits.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Two rushing sounds echoed back and forth across the wilderness. The horses of the Qin army were slightly inferior to those of the resting people. But the strong crossbow is beyond the reach of the bow of the resting man.

The annoyed Qin crossbow provoked Xerxes to reflexively pursue him several times.

However, Qin Jun is still extremely cunning. He did not fight with the Sabbatarians, but when he saw that the Sabbatarians were about to turn back, they withdrew as soon as they smoked.

Even if the people of Anxi chased after them quickly on horseback, the Qin army could always hide in the nearest city at the lowest cost. The result is that the resting people lose more.

There was no way, Xerxes could only divide his troops, one part of which contained the Qin cavalry behind, and the other part opened the way in front.

This method can indeed contain the chasing troops of the Qin State, but the number of soldiers divided is few, and the effect is not obvious. If there are too many troops, it will lead to a shortage of troops on the other side.

You must know that it is not the tens of thousands of cavalry behind them that are really dangerous to the Sabbatarian army, but the fortified city in front of them.

"General, it's the fourth day. If we don't conquer those cities as soon as possible, the horses will starve to death!" ”

In the midst of the tent, Darius was anxious.

"What can you do?"

However, Xerxes's words left Darius speechless.

"The horses are gone, the cattle and sheep are still there, and we can still fight! Moreover, once our soldiers see their beloved horses starved to death by the plots of the Qin people, their anger will make them even stronger! ”

Sure enough, as Xerxes said. After another two days, there were less than a thousand horses in the rest army that could really stand up.

The rest are either dead or dying.

The resting people, who grew up with horses since childhood, saw their war horses starving to death, and their hearts also burned with rage.

"Kill all the Qin people!"

"Kill all the Qin people!"

On the battlefield, the 200,000 rest cavalry troops who have completely turned into infantry troops are still not afraid of the cavalry of the Qin State on horseback.

"General, there seems to be something wrong with the rest of the people!" Beside Li Mu, a middle-aged general frowned and whispered.

"It's normal for a horse breeder to see his horse die." Li Mu smiled lightly, and then waved his hand at his own generals.

"Squeak! Chirping! Chirping! ”

Nearly 100 wagons loaded with forage were slowly transported to Li Mu.

"Send it to them! Tell them that Ben will know that they love horses, but the war is merciless, and this is something that cannot be helped. Since he is a horse breeder, how can he fight without a war horse? Tomorrow, Ben will continue to fight them here! Remember to let them ride on war horses, the cavalry of Great Qin only fights with powerful cavalry, and the infantry army is not qualified to intervene! Li Mu pointed to a group of screaming resting people from a distance and said lightly.

"Whoa!" The pro-army general nodded, and regardless of the danger, personally escorted more than 100 truckloads of grain and grass towards the angry Sabbath army position.

"Why does the general fund the enemy?" The generals beside Li Mu couldn't understand it even more.

"Rivals? I'm cutting the enemy! Li Mu shook his head and said confidently, "It's just a hundred trucks of forage, which is not enough for our war horses, let alone the horses they have been hungry for so long?"

Now the opponent has the intention of death, which is not good for us. Giving them this little food and grass will only weaken their fighting spirit. Hehe, this bit of grain and grass is 200,000 people, and internal strife is indispensable.

And, didn't Ben say it? Engage only cavalry. How many war horses can be left after being hungry for so long? How much more combat power can there be? Compared with the 300,000 infantry army, these are much better! ”

"This ......" The general beside Li Mu didn't say anything for a long time, and finally could only spit out lightly: "The general is smart!" ”

Huaxia has a set of formed theories of soldiers, and among the generals of the Qin army, everyone has learned a lot to a greater or lesser extent. Even so, Li Mu can even hide it from his own people, not to mention, there is no such set of theories of resting people?

Although Xerxes felt a little wrong as a battlefield veteran, after checking the forage, he still found no problems.

Unable to bear the requests of the generals of the various dynasties, Xerxes could only divide the fodder of the more than 100 carts.

However, as Li Mu said, how could a mere hundred vehicles be satisfied with the entire Sabbath Army.

Xerxes did not interfere in the specific distribution of forage, which made the generals compete with each other. The Sabbath Army, which was originally drawn from the provincial dynasties, has produced a huge rift.

"Whew!"

The sound of the trumpet sounded again. Tens of thousands of cavalry of the Qin army are chasing 300,000, no, there should be only 250,000 rest troops left, running everywhere.

Even Xerxes, who was the main general, was in a panic, but he couldn't understand how the powerful Sabbath cavalry could collapse at the touch of a button.

The cavalry of the two armies engaged in a battle that ended in an overwhelming victory for the Qin army.

And this has become the last hammer that breaks the camel's back.
