Time passed, and he was the only one left among the original five tiger generals, and the others either died in battle or died of illness. Just because he is the only one left, you can see how powerful he is.

Just like Victor after receiving the order, after getting out of Sanlil Bay City, he did not go all over the world to pursue the cavalry of the Celestial Empire who entered the territory, but on the contrary, he went steadily all the way in the direction of Beitki City, and he had only one goal, that is, to recapture his own city.

According to the emperor's intention of Zhang Chao, after Zhao Yun and Dian Wei jointly attacked the city of Beitki, they did not divide their troops to occupy it, but in line with the principle of guerrilla warfare, they changed places with one shot, and the city was just the place they passed by.

But for Victor to send troops to Beitki City, Zhao Yun and others really had to guard against it. Although they had already done the most damage there with explosives when they left the city, in order to prevent the Rus' army from re-entering the city and defending the city. But the city is built by people after all, if it is a small group of enemy troops, even if it occupies the city, it will not play a role, but now it is true, Victor is a million army, once stationed there, it is conceivable that it may not be long before a new city defense will be established, if that is the case, Zhao Yun and others will face the situation of being blocked at both ends, so it will be really dangerous.

Victor is playing this kind of tactic, he has done research, this time he is facing mainly the iron cavalry of the Celestial Empire, even so, he will suffer a lot if he fights a mobile war. It should be said that the Rus' country is not very suitable for raising horses because of the weather, so the number of their cavalry has always been limited. And to compare with the enemy's strengths with his own disadvantages, that is what only stupid generals will do, like he just avoided the advantages of the Celestial Empire's army, and moved forward in a steady way, he just wanted to recapture Beitki City, so as to achieve the goal of sealing the Celestial Empire's iron cavalry in the territory, so that he could do the matter of closing the door and beating the dog.

Victor's tactics made Zhao Yun and others worried, they did not have any advantage in terms of strength, the only thing they could be proud of was that they had cavalry, but when the other party was prepared, the role of cavalry charging and killing became very small, so that the million Rus army became a difficult bone to gnaw, making them feel helpless and unable to start.

Zeng also tried to make a few attacks, and the cavalry led by Dian Wei personally made a sudden charge, but because the other party had been cautiously guarded, the surprise attack had no effect, but also damaged thousands of soldiers and horses.

I have to admit that Victor is indeed a veteran soldier, he knows what to do to improve the morale of the army, and he knows how to control the initiative on the battlefield.

Under the leadership of such a calm general, Zhao Yun and the others couldn't find any useful fighters all the way, so they watched Victor slowly return to Beitki City from Sanlil Bay City in half a month, and began to build the city wall there.

At this moment, Zhao Yun and the others were also completely closed in the middle of Sanlil Bay City and Beitki City, and they really couldn't walk around, and they couldn't leave this area.

At this time, even Zhao Yun had an idea, that is, whether the previous destruction of Beitki City was intentional by the Rus State, in order to bring them here to besiege them.

At this time, the weather has reached the end of July, the beginning of August, seeing that it will enter the early winter in more than a month, if they are still trapped here, the cold weather will become the biggest test, really at that time, the long winter down, I really don't know how they will survive.

Although it is still summer, if you don't prepare early, I'm afraid that in winter, the army won't need others to fight, or they will freeze to death.

The situation was grim, and after consulting with Dian Wei and the generals of the Zhonglu Army, Zhao Yun decided to storm Beitji. As a result, the Seventh Route Army began to concentrate its forces near the city, looking for fighters.

As if he knew that the Celestial Empire army would do this, Victor in Beitki City had made preparations very early, and this time when he left Sanlilbe City, he asked Prince Anatoly for a lot of bows and arrows, and this time they all came in handy, above the city tower, in front of the city gate, the most elite archers of the Rus' country were waiting for them, so that any Celestial Empire soldiers who wanted to get close to the city would have to pay a heavy price, and the armies of the two sides quickly stalemate here.

The stalemate in front of the city of Beitji was transmitted to the hands of Zhang Chao, the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, who had arrived in front of Pahan City, through the flying eagle of the eye of the sky.

The eye of heaven is worthy of being the eye of heaven, even in the chaos, there is still a lot of useful news that can be passed on to each other in the army of the Celestial Empire, which allows Zhang Chao to know the dynamics of each army for the first time.

The stalemate of the Northwest Route Army was as consistent as the Northeast Route Army in front of Pahan City, and Zhang Chao's army was blocked here. The difference is that they are not like Zhao Yun, and they still have to face the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy.

But in the same way, Zhao Yun will suffer from two attacks, and there are also opportunities. For example, the issue of grain and grass.

After discussing with Pang Tong and Feng Ji and other military advisors in the army, Zhang Chao made a decision, that is, to let Zhao Yun and them intercept the grain and grass of Victor's army, the millions of troops, the food consumed every day is an astronomical amount, as long as the grain route is controlled, it is equivalent to choking the other party's neck.

The news took nearly a month to transmit the emperor's holy decree to Zhao Yun's hands through the Tianyan organization, and at this moment it was the beginning of September, and after Zhao Yun and the others got the will, they followed Zhang Chao's method to do it, and for a time they started a battle around the issue of food.

Whether it is the northeast route or the northwest route, the Rus State adopts the word procrastination, they gather in the city, and confront the army of the Celestial Empire, in order to wait for the arrival of the cold winter, when the time comes, the army of the Celestial Empire has no food and clothing, and must only choose to retreat.

In this regard, Zhang Chao naturally expected it, but he really couldn't think of any better way. He also launched several siege offensives, but the morale of the other party was high, but he didn't make much money. Seeing that the food looted by the various armies before was getting less and less, Zhang Chao finally began to face up to the problem of retreating.

Not to mention that because of the great drought last year, the grain in the treasury of the Celestial Empire was not abundant, just to say that the road was so far away, even if the military rations were sent, it would be extremely expensive, so that the national strength was seriously consumed, and I was afraid that even if I wanted to withdraw from the army, I would have to lose a lot of money.

Zhang Chao hesitated, and the time came to October.

October has always been the harvest season, and there is a saying called golden autumn October, which describes the scene and appearance of the grain harvest.

As soon as October arrived, it was time to harvest grain in all parts of the Rus' country, especially north of the city of Sanlir Bey, where there were plains, and there were a lot of all kinds of grain planted, and if they were included in the granary, it would greatly increase their strength, at least when facing the army of the Celestial Empire, the problem of military rations would not bother them in a short time.

As the harvest began, both Prince Anatoly and Prince Ivan began to get busy. Because most of the troops in their hands were used to defend the city, this time when the grain was harvested, they had to spend a lot of money to hire their own peasants, and for a time you could see busy people in ordinary clothes everywhere between the wheat fields.

In front of a huge plain, there are tens of thousands of Rus' people who are grabbing food here, and only a thousand Rus' soldiers are responsible for guarding it.

If it were to harvest such a large piece of grain in the past, the Rus State would have sent at least 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers to take charge, but now, the Rus State, which has a limited number of troops, has to retreat to the next best thing, and only send 1,000 soldiers accordingly, responsible for watching the grain, but also preventing the local people from grabbing the grain and going home.

With the efforts of nearly 10,000 Rus' people, truckloads of harvested grain were loaded onto grain trucks, and bags of grain were held high, looking like a small moving castle.

"Kill!"

Just as the food was delivered to the cart and the Rus soldiers were carefully counting, suddenly there was a sound of shaking on the ground, and then in the distance, dust and smoke were billowing from the distance, and a group of black-clothed cavalry with about 5,000 people galloped towards this place.

"It's not good, it's the Iron Rider of the Celestial Empire!" I don't know which one of the people had sharp eyes, but at a glance recognized the identity of the comer, and immediately shouted loudly with a frightened expression.

This shout immediately exploded among the people, and out of instinct, the people put down their work and began to flee in all directions.

Among these people, some have seen the Iron Horse of the Celestial Empire, and some have not. But whether they have seen it or not, they have heard a rumor that the Iron Cavalry of the Celestial Empire is unreasonable and kills people when they see them, and even many times, they will not even let women and children go.

There were rumors first, and now that the Iron Horse of the Celestial Empire has appeared, where is there any reason for the people not to escape?

"Don't be afraid, don't panic, there aren't many people on the other side, everyone resist together, our reinforcements will come soon." General Ross, the captain of the thousand-man team, shouted hurriedly when he saw the people so flustered.

With 1,000 against 5,000, the general of the Rus' country has no confidence in his heart, but if there are nearly 10,000 Rus' people to help, there is still a possibility of a war.

It's just that no matter how the captain of the thousand people shouted, the ordinary people of Rose had already talked about the tiger's color change, and now that the beast was in front of them, there was no reason not to escape.
