As Xiao Mo guessed, the second day of the siege of the Grassland Coalition Army was calm, and the Grassland Coalition Army not only did not retaliate against Shangyuan City. Instead, the army retreated three miles away, and the camp was closed. A look of avoiding the war, reminiscent of the arrogance and arrogance of the grassland coalition army before, all the Great Chu defenders in Shangyuan City have a sense of arrogance.

After resting for a night, Xiao Mo came to the city wall of Shangyuan City again and continued to observe the situation of the grassland coalition camp in the distance.

Having learned the lesson of the previous night, the battalion inspection of the grassland coalition army at this time was obviously much stricter than the previous night, and the patrols and sentries were more than twice as many as before.

It's just that the chaos of the whole night, for these steppe warriors, the physical exertion and morale blow are undoubtedly huge, the entire grassland camp is quiet, most of the grassland warriors are crowded in the camp tent is already a small number of rest, and the occasional patrol person appears. Also listless.

Of course, this is what Xiao Mo wants to see, so when Xiao Mo came to the city, although his face was calm, the severity on his face in the past was a little lighter.

"My lord, after this chaos, the morale of the steppe barbarians is completely lost, and the casualties are heavy, I am afraid that there will be no ten days to recover, but it is impossible to provoke another war. In this way, my Shangyuan City can easily stop these grassland barbarians for at least ten days. And with your strategy, it doesn't cost a single soldier to let these steppe barbarians suffer such heavy losses, and the merits of our dynasty in the past hundred years are nothing more than this, and I want to wait until the imperial court learns the good news, and it will not be long before the reward comes. Xia Guan is here to wish you a high rise in the future. ”

Shangyuan Taishou Liu Xingzhi, who was following Xiao Mo's side, was obviously in a better mood than Xiao Mo at the moment, and after observing the situation of the grassland coalition camp in the distance for a moment, he suddenly said to Xiao Mo with a smile.

"Yes, with the Privy Counsellor here, this grassland barbarian will definitely never dare to invade my Dachu again."

"Your Privy Counsellor, you are resourceful, and you will be able to look good with these barbarians in the future."

And as Liu Xingzhi's words fell, the civil and military officials behind Xiao Mo responded in unison, and in their mouths, Xiao Mo had already incarnated as Zhuge Reincarnation.

Obviously, after this incident, the civil and military officials in Shangyuan City have gone from having no confidence to having skyrocketed in confidence. It seems that in their opinion, since Xiao Mo can make a move of the Grassland Coalition Army lose nearly 40,000 troops out of thin air, then if the Grassland Coalition Army moves three or four times, wouldn't the Grassland Coalition Army be wiped out in a snap of a finger?

But in the face of such praise, the look on Xiao Mo's face was still calm.

In other words, Xiao Mo's expression became more serious.

It is not a good thing to be overly afraid of the enemy, or to go through the process of despising the enemy, but unfortunately, it seems that the Chu people love to go to this extreme.

"Ladies and gentlemen." As Xiao Mo slowly spoke, Zhong Wenwu immediately quieted down:

"I advise you not to relax too soon, in my opinion. The real war has not yet begun. The situation is far more dire than we imagined. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Mo turned his head and glanced at the civil and military officials, then raised his arm and pointed to the grassland coalition camp in the distance, and continued: "Don't ignore the horror of these grassland peoples because of an unexpected victory, for thousands of years, they have lived on the grassland with a harsh environment and fought with the sky. Fighting with people has long been their temperament. Honed as tough as a wolf. Although the bombing of the camp caused them huge losses, it was far from the extent of breaking their muscles and bones. Lord Liu said that after this catastrophe, these steppe coalition forces did not dare to attack the city within ten days, but they underestimated them, and in the opinion of this official, they only need to recuperate for three to five days at most before they can recover and start a war with us again. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Mo sighed softly and continued: "At that time, because of this bombing camp triggered by us, these grassland coalition forces will probably become more brave and ferocious when they fight each other in order to retaliate, and we will reach that time. It can only meet us with real strength. It's going to be a very difficult bloody battle. In fact, although the number of the grassland coalition forces has changed from 150,000 to 110,000 because of this bombing of the camp, in fact, the number of troops that can be invested in each siege is so much, 40,000 more and 40,000 less, and there is not much difference between us.

Therefore, you adults should not be lucky, and prepare for the war with peace of mind. ”

Hearing Xiao Mo say this, all the civil and military officials nodded yes, and their expressions became serious again, although under Xiao Mo's strategy. Without spending a single soldier, the Grassland Coalition Army lost 40,000 elites in one go, but on the whole, the situation in Shangyuan City still did not change, and the army of Da Chu was still far from being the opponent of the Grassland Coalition Army. In the end, Shangyuan City was still going to fight a hard-fought battle to the death with the grassland coalition army.

"Lord Privy Councillor, is there no way for us to let these steppe barbarians stop attacking like we did last night?"

An official couldn't help but ask Xiao Mo. Obviously, after last night's incident, he already had great confidence in Regent's mind.

Xiao Mo sighed, shook his head and said: "Although last night caused a heavy loss to Mandi, but in the final analysis, the method used is just a trick, although the soldiers are tricky, but a war, the final victory or defeat is still determined by the true strength of the double hair." The conspiracy of the sophistication can never be compared to the conspiracy of the righteous path. It is because although the sophistry can be used for a while, it can no longer be repeated. All of you are well-read history books, and you should know that from ancient times to the present, there has never been a war that has been won entirely by orbit? If we can win by relying on these trails alone, then what will I do with millions of soldiers?

To tell the truth, in addition to the prior arrangement of our and others, the main reason for the bombing of the camp of the Grassland Coalition this time is due to coincidence, and it is just a fantasy to want to let them suffer such losses out of thin air. ”

After hearing Xiao Mo's words, everyone on the field looked disappointed.

Xiao Mo said: "Please don't insert the series when you broadcast commercials, thank you for your cooperation, in fact, are the bugs copying us?" ”

Zhang Yansheng said gently: Fellow scholars, please say yes, a certain fat guy just wants to do an experiment. ”

Seeing that everyone was disappointed, Xiao Mo smiled slightly and continued: "However, this time the bombing of the camp is still very beneficial to us, you know." The loss of 40,000 elites in one breath will not have any impact in a short period of time, but it will greatly weaken the continuity of the future battles of the steppe coalition army, the preparation of the reserves, and so on. ”

"The most important thing is that after this incident, we have let the Steppe Coalition Army spend three days out of thin air. And I, Shangyuan City, didn't just rely on the power of one city to compete with them. The longer the time drags on, the more and more Great Chu troops will come to support. In the end, these grassland coalition forces will be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops of our Great Chu, and at that time, under the internal and external attacks, the day of defeat of the grassland coalition army is not far away. And the great feat, we are just around the corner. ”

After a pause, Xiao Mo said leisurely again: "What's more, although it is impossible to make the grassland alliance lose 40,000 elites out of thin air like last night, it is still possible to let them greatly reduce their combat strength in these days." ”

After hearing Xiao Mo's words, a group of civil and military officials looked happy again and looked at Xiao Mo expectantly.

Xiao Mo asked, "Now, how long has it been since the grassland coalition army bombed the camp to subside?" ”

Zhao Ying took a step forward, bowed and said, "Mrs. Hui, three hours have passed. ”

Xiao Mo muttered, "Three hours? It's just right. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Mo suddenly waved his hand and said loudly: "Gather all the soldiers and follow me out of the city to meet the enemy." ”

After hearing Xiao Mo's words, he was by Xiao Mo's side. All the civil and military officials were shocked.

When the grassland coalition army bombed the camp last night, there was no resistance, such a good opportunity Xiao Mo let it go in vain, now that the grassland coalition army has recovered some combat strength, why did Xiao Mo suddenly take the initiative to meet the enemy?

"My lord, no. Although these grassland barbarians were hit hard at the beginning, as you said, their strength still exists, and my army of Great Chu can defend the city, but they are not capable of defeating it. ”

"Yes, my lord, General Zuo led 60,000 troops outside the Saiwai and fought with 100,000 barbarians, but the Jin army was wiped out in just one day and night, don't repeat the mistakes of General Zuo."

Looking at the officials around him who looked excited and tried their best to advise, Xiao Mo smiled slightly and said:

"I just said that I went out of the city to meet the enemy, and I didn't say that I would fight the enemy, so don't worry, adults."

Three hours after the bombing of the camp had subsided, Balak finally dealt with the affairs that remained after the bombing of the camp.

Although Bale is in the prime of life, full of energy, and is also the hero of the world, but after all, it is not an iron body, first led the army all the way to Shangyuan City, and just slept not long after the night, and then there was a bombing of the camp, and after forcibly dealing with all kinds of complicated affairs, it was already three poles in the sun, but he could no longer hold on, and under the advice of his generals, he finally returned to the king's tent and decided to rest for a while.

However, Balh had just laid down when in the direction of Shangyuan City, a sudden shout of killing sounded. "Kill!! Kill!! Kill!! Balak jumped up from his bed and shouted, "Someone!" As Bale's words fell, a commander of a thousand men quickly came to Bale's Great Khan's tent, knelt down on one knee and said: "Great Khan, the gates of the four sides in Shangyuan City are wide open, and a large number of Chu troops have left the city and are gathering under Shangyuan City, as if they want to fight with our army. ”

Bale was slightly stunned, and didn't understand why the Chu army just watched coldly when the camp was bombed last night, but at this moment, the grassland Liancao had recovered some combat strength, but the Chu army suddenly went out of the city to fight. But after all, the war happened, and the combat power of the steppe coalition army at this moment was far less than in its heyday, but Bale didn't think much about it. He decisively ordered: "Order the soldiers of all departments to gather and mount their horses immediately, and follow me out of the camp to meet the enemy, you first lead the soldiers in charge of defense to prepare to prevent the Chu people from taking the opportunity to break through Gong!" ”

"Yes!!"

As the words fell, Balak was already dressed and hurried outside the tent of the Great Khan.

As far as the eye could see, there were steppe warriors preparing in a panic everywhere, and many people did not understand the situation and looked panicked. There were even many steppe warriors who had just fallen asleep, and after getting up in a hurry, they were dressed in disarray. After a night of chaos, even the well-trained Di warriors were caught off guard and underrested, but they panicked.

With this scene, Bale couldn't help frowning, as long as there were 10,000 elite soldiers attacking the camp at this moment, it would be able to make the Di tribe suffer a big injury again.

I have to say that the timing chosen by Xiao Mo is quite poisonous.

At this moment, after a bombing of the camp, most of the grassland warriors were physically exhausted and mentally exhausted, and the time when they had just slept for less than two hours was the moment of transition from light sleep to deep sleep, but because Xiao Mo suddenly led the troops out of the city, he was forced not to get up to fight, it can be said that the time to rest in the previous two hours was wasted.

But what reassures Bale is that he is far away from the city of Shangyuan. The quality of the Chu army is even more eye-catching, it has been such a long time, but it is still not complete, although there are many traps and barriers under Shangyuan City, but the quality of the Chu army can also be seen.

Finally, more than 60,000 soldiers of the Di tribe finally finished their equipment, raised their swords and mounted their horses, and went out of the camp to prepare to meet the enemy, but before they had time to impact, a stunned scene appeared.

"Sons, these cowardly Chu people. The time has come for more than 10,000 of my Di people to die in a foreign land by using their tricks last night, and now they dare to take the initiative to fight us and avenge the dead warriors......"

Baler was just halfway through his speech, and before he could shout "rush", he couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw that as the Di soldiers were prepared and just left the camp, in Shangyuan City, the gong sounded suddenly, and then, the Great Chu army, which had not yet completed the whole team, returned to Shangyuan City at a speed several times faster than when they left the city, and after the Di soldiers reacted, the city gate in the north of Shangyuan City began to close slowly.

After imagining it for a long time, Balak finally reacted. I wanted to take the opportunity to rush and kill, but I thought of the state of the soldiers under him at this moment, so I spat helplessly and scolded in a low voice: "Chu people are cowards!" ”

But after seeing that Shangyuan City was already well guarded, he could only reluctantly announce the withdrawal of troops.

At the same time, the four sides of Shangyuan City, the Khitan, Murwei, Xixianbei and other tribes who surrounded Shangyuan City all encountered the same scene.

Bal thought that the matter was over, but when he returned to the king's tent again, not long after he fell asleep, in the direction of Shangyuan City, the shouts of the Chu army sounded again.

And when Balak again led his troops outside the camp to meet the battle, he encountered the same situation again. Before they had time to attack each other, the Chu army had already quickly returned to Shangyuan City.

At dusk, the same thing happened again.

Bale now regrets his decision to order the camp to retreat three miles back, in the face of the continuous harassment of the Chu army, although the grassland coalition army is all horse soldiers, but due to the distance limit, there is no chance to pursue.

Seeing the Chu army return to Shangyuan City calmly, he turned his head and saw that the warriors under his command were all in a state of exhaustion, and there was no longer the fierce appearance of the past, one by one, under the harassment of the Chu people, for a whole day. Not only did these steppe warriors not get a break. On the contrary, I was more tired than after the bombing of the camp.

"Despicable!!"

At this point, Balh finally understood the tricks of the Chu people.

"Great Khan, these Chu people want to use the art of harassment to keep our sons and daughters from resting."

A Di tribal leader gritted his teeth and said.

Balak nodded, and after a moment of annoyance, he quickly regained his former calm and shrewdness, and ordered: "Pass the order, day and night, and let half of our soldiers keep them awake and on guard at all times." If these despicable Chu people harass again, only the soldiers in charge of guarding should be allowed to go out of the camp to meet the enemy. The rest of the fighters rested as usual. ”

"Yes."

As he said this, Balak's brow furrowed even tighter.

Under the harassment of the Chu people who kept going out of the city, although they could deal with it like this, the sound of killing shook the sky, and where could those resting soldiers really sleep?

It's a pity that at this moment, it can only be dealt with in this way.

At the same time, on the walls of Shangyuan City.

Seeing the grassland coalition army withdraw its troops in a daze, the civil and military officials around Xiao Mo couldn't help but smile.

"Under such continuous harassment, the barbarians of the grassland will not be able to rest, and their mental and physical strength will continue to be consumed, and when they fight each other in the future, their natural combat power will be greatly reduced, my lord is wise, I can't wait."

The despicability in the eyes of the enemy is the clever plan in the eyes of his own people, although Liu Xingzhi has ordinary political ability. But the ability to shoot horses is first-class, and he first understood Xiao Mo's plan and praised loudly.

Xiao Mo smiled slightly, but didn't say anything.

In fact, this is the real strategy of bombing the camp in Xiao Mo's heart, through constant harassment, the grassland coalition army is mentally exhausted, the pressure increases greatly, and finally there is a rebellion to bomb the camp.

It's just that Xiao Mo didn't expect that just the first step of the plan was already a successful rebellion to bomb the camp of the grassland coalition army, so the original strategy of bombing the camp has become a plan to exhaust the enemy and disturb the army at this moment.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Mo ordered: "Order all the units of my Chu army to be divided into four teams from this moment on. Take turns to be responsible for disturbing the enemy and preparing for it, leaving the city every two hours, do not go too far from the city, and return immediately once the enemy army is out of the camp. ”

Zhang Yansheng groaned: "Please go to the first Chu Dynasty Super Beautiful Girl to vote for me, thank you, someone is too dark, accepting bribes from several people at the same time, and seriously despising someone." ”

Xiao Mo whispered on the side: "Actually, I don't know anything, I'm just here to make soy sauce, as long as Jiarou is mine!" ”

"Yes"

All the generals responded in unison.

Three shifts in the middle of the night.

After a whole day of harassment by the Chu army, the grassland coalition army has gradually become accustomed to it, and under the incomparable exhaustion, the grassland warriors who are resting in their turn no longer care about the killing sound outside the camp, but just rest on their own.

Therefore, after the Sifang Gate of Shangyuan City was opened again, the grassland coalition army didn't even bother to go out of the camp to meet the enemy, but just scolded the coward. Just take care of yourself and continue to rest. Anyway, anyone knows that they are as cowardly as the army of Great Chu, and they don't dare to engage with their real short-handed soldiers at all.

This time, however, things are different.

As the night before, it was again the herd of cattle with the "Thor bag" tied to them that were driven out of the city.

It's just that, this time, outside the Quartet City Gate. Only twenty or thirty ploughing oxen appeared.

As the ploughing ox caught fire behind him, he rushed towards the camp of the steppe coalition army again, and saw clearly what was rushing in, and the steppe warriors who were in charge of defense were all shocked.

"Fire Thunder Demon Cow!! It's the Fire Thunder Demon Cow!! The continuous mournful shouts rang out from all over the camp of the Prairie Alliance.

In view of the terrifying power of the "Thor Bag" on these ploughing cattle, in private, the grassland warriors called these ploughing cattle carrying the "Thor Bag" "Vulcan Demon Cow".

Because the distance between Shangyuan City and the grassland coalition army camp has been more than doubled, coupled with the fact that the soldiers of the grassland alliance are well prepared, their own number is far less than the previous night, so these cultivators have not yet rushed to the grassland alliance camp to inspect the place, they have already exploded in advance.

However, although it did not cause direct damage to the Steppe Coalition Army, it was in the hearts of all Steppe Warriors. The sound generated by the explosion of the "Thor Bag". It's too familiar, and it already has a psychological shadow.

Therefore, although the continuous earth-shattering explosions reappeared, the steppe warriors who had just fallen asleep for a long time woke up again, and even a small area of the bombing camp also appeared again.

However, because of proper precautions, the bombing of the camp did not cause much loss, but the 110,000 grassland coalition troops stayed awake all night again.

Calculated carefully, most of the grassland warriors are already in a state of mental tension and physical exhaustion. There were two days and two nights without getting enough rest.

"Balak Khan!! Being teased by those despicable Chu people like this, our sons and daughters will not only not be able to get enough rest in these three days, but will become more and more tired!! On the third day of the siege of the steppe coalition army, when the Great Khan of all ethnic groups gathered again to discuss, Yelu Axiaoji, the Khitan Great Khan, shouted loudly with two thick dark circles under his eyes.
