After receiving the news, Xiao Zhan quickly ordered people to gather troops and prepare to attack and meet the barbarian army.

This time, the barbarians are shrewd, and there are some masters distributed in the sky above all the barbarian armies, ready to intercept the scolding at any time, and they can't let yesterday's events happen again.

A few days ago, after they retreated, they went back to count the battle damage, and they almost died of anger, and they actually killed nearly 120,000 barbarian soldiers before they were replaced by soldiers in the early 200,000s of the other side.

In the end, they gathered the culprit of this consequence on the Eagle Legion, if it weren't for such a despicable strategy of the Eagle Legion, which caused their formation to be chaotic, it would have been impossible to kill so many barbarian soldiers.

Therefore, after the brute force Gu and the others went back to repair for a few days, they prepared to attack again, and this time they would definitely not let the scolding from the opposite side come over.

In fact, Xiao Zhan didn't think about continuing to use this trick, it might be a surprise the first time, but as long as the other party is not stupid and careful to beware, it will be difficult to implement it again.

The two sides met, and they were particularly red-eyed, although the barbarians still remembered the incident of the Eagle Legion insulting the barbarian gods a few days ago, but after a big battle, they killed a lot of people from the Eagle Legion, and after the enlightenment of the barbarian generals, time passed, so although they were angry, they could endure it.

Kill!

The earthquake trembled, the anger was raging, countless soldiers collided together, hideous faces, bloody swords, low howls, and smoke and dust, and the whole plain was filled with the tragic aura of this primitive fighting.

This collision can obviously feel the difference from the last time, the people of the Great Xia Legion are obviously much more difficult to fight, and it is difficult to break through the barbarian army's defenses as quickly as a few days ago, thus causing siege and killing of the barbarian army.

When the barbarians were not scattered, the gap between their combat effectiveness and that of the Great Xia Legion was reflected, because the battle formations of the Great Xia Legion were very simple, and it was difficult to suppress the barbarians, and it was impossible to improve the combat effectiveness of themselves and others.

Therefore, as soon as they collided with the barbarians, they fell into disadvantage one after another, and basically it took at least two Great Xia soldiers to exchange for one barbarian.

The battle lasted for a day, and in the evening, the two sides had a very tacit understanding of Mingjin to withdraw their troops.

After the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield with a full face of exhaustion, they returned to the camp to rest, war is like this, especially this kind of large-scale war, it is normal to fight all day, so the endurance requirements for the soldiers are very high, and the equipment requirements are not low, otherwise the killing is halfway through, and the weapon is broken, then it will be over.

Xiao Zhan and others gathered together again to summarize the war.

The faces of several people were not good-looking.

After a while, Xiao Zhan was the first to speak: "This time we had a head-on confrontation with the barbarians, and the result was very unsatisfactory, and the battle loss ratio was much higher than last time. ”

After speaking, he looked at the other three and said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about their respective battle loss ratios." ”

"Ben Thunder Legion, 50,000 killed in battle, 25,000 enemies killed. ”

"The Heavenly Tiger Legion, 50,000 killed in battle, 20,000 enemies killed. ”

"Eagle Legion, 70,000 killed, 25,000 killed"

"The Dragon Chasing Legion, 60,000 killed in battle, 30,000 enemies killed. ”

After everyone reported their battle loss ratios, they finally came to the conclusion that this time, a total of 230,000 soldiers were killed, and only 100,000 barbarians were killed, and the battle loss ratio was more than two to one.

"This is the normal battle loss ratio, and most of us usually fight with the barbarians. ”

After a while, seeing that everyone was silent, Ge Rui spoke.

Xiao Zhan and Wang Xinhu nodded, they had a number of them in this battle loss ratio, and it was not much different from peacetime.

As for Wen Jinghai, although he knew that the barbarians were very strong, he suddenly increased the battle loss ratio by so much compared to the last time, which was a little unacceptable, and their Ben Lei Legion did not have any effect.

Everyone was silent for a while, Xiao Zhan raised his head and said to Ge Rui: "In the next war, your Eagle Legion will be in charge of the rear army, you can't continue to be forward, now you have killed more than half of the battle, if you continue to advance the front, the entire legion will be destroyed." ”

Ge Rui also nodded bitterly, indeed, now that the Eagle Legion has killed 170,000 soldiers after two wars, and the 300,000 Legion is now less than 130,000 left, which is the last spark of the Eagle.

If these 130,000 soldiers die in battle, then the Eagle Legion will really exist in name only, and he Ge Rui will have the face to meet the former veteran master.

"The next time the forward army will be the Celestial Tiger Army, then it will be replaced by Chasing Dragon, and finally it will be replaced by Ben Lei, and we will take turns to withstand the pressure, believing that the victory will definitely belong to our side. ”

In the end, Xiao Zhan made a decision, and encouraged everyone by the way, although he knew that there was little hope, but he always had to look forward to a miracle.

Moreover, the imperial court will not let the Nanban Prefecture be lost like this.

In the next half month, the barbarians attacked twice, an average of once every seven days, and the intensity of these two attacks was slightly reduced, probably because the barbarians also had a lot less troops.

On these two occasions, the four major legions killed nearly 300,000 soldiers in battle, in exchange for the lives of less than 130,000 barbarians.

At this point, the 1.2 million army of the four major legions is now less than 500,000 troops left, and even the two full legions cannot reach it, and the Eagle Legion is even less than 100,000 left.

And the barbarians are not much better, of the 600,000 army, only about 250,000 remain.

At this point in the battle, it is impossible for both sides to retreat, and only by completely annihilating one side can we give an explanation to so many soldiers who died in battle.

On Zhao Yun's side, after more than half a month of running around, he had once again wiped out five medium-sized tribes, and although he had killed about 5,000 soldiers, he had successfully rescued nearly 15,000 or so people of Great Xia.

Moreover, after these years of fighting everywhere, the recruits transformed by these civilians have also seen blood and can adapt to the battlefield a little, and they have also killed a lot of barbarians behind the rest of the veterans.

The reason why the battle damage is so small is because Jia Xu's strategy is excellent, every time he sets a medium-sized tribe as the target, Jia Xu can find a way to deceive their main force, and then all kinds of ambushes and flanking attacks, and they can quickly destroy their main force with the least battle damage.

The barbarian tribe without the main force is defenseless for Zhao Yun and the others, and it is easy to slaughter the entire tribe.

At this time, Zhao Yun and the others led the army to hide in a dense forest.

"Strategist, now that we've wiped out six medium-sized tribes, the barbarians still don't seem to have any reaction!"

Zhao Yun said to Jia Xu a little worriedly.

Jia Xu pondered for a while and said, "Maybe we underestimated the ruthlessness of the barbarians, they won't have much sympathy for the destruction of the barbarians of other tribes, they will only think that your strength is not enough. ”

"Moreover, the battle on the front line must be fierce now, and the soldiers sent by these exterminated barbarian tribes may have died in battle a long time ago, so it will not have any impact, I didn't think about it at the beginning. ”

After speaking, Jia Xu sighed, he knew too little about the barbarians, so he made this decision that has little effect now, although he also rescued many civilians and trained soldiers, but it did not help the front line.

Just as the crowd fell silent, a scout ran over.

"Report to the generals, we have found countless barbarian convoys passing by from a distance, and they are also carrying a large number of our people and escorting countless carts. ”

When Jia Xu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Do you know in which direction the barbarians came?" ”

The scout snapped a finger.

Jia Xu was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Zhao Yun: "General Zhao, please go and investigate quietly to see what those barbarians are escorting?"

When Zhao Yun heard this, he instantly understood what Jia Xu meant, and hurriedly nodded excitedly, and disappeared in place in an instant on the silver dragon and white horse.

After a while, Zhao Yun came back, with an excited look on his face, and said to Jia Xu: "The military advisor expected it to be good, it is indeed the logistics supply of the barbarian army on the front line, I have just investigated, they have more than a thousand carts for transporting materials, most of which are high-grade demon beast meat, and the rest are some equipment and the like." ”

After speaking, he paused, and then said: "As for the people who escorted these materials, it was the people of our court, about 20,000 people, and the barbarian soldiers in charge of guarding them on the side, there were also about 10,000 people. ”

After listening to Zhao Yun's report, Jia Xu nodded, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "It seems that this is indeed the logistics supply of the barbarians, but it should only be one of the countless logistics supply lines of the barbarians, but even if it is only a small part, we have to intercept them, and then increase our search to see if we can intercept some more barbarian logistics convoys." ”

"Yes. ”

Zhao Yun and the others nodded one after another, and they didn't discuss how to intercept it.

It's just 10,000 barbarians, Zhao Yun and they don't care about it now, they can directly push it flat, first let Zhao Yun's cavalry charge, break up the formation, and then Pei Yuanqing, Gao Shun and others go up to harvest, and it can be easily solved.

The result was the same as Zhao Yun and the others expected, the battle was indeed solved easily, and even the battle damage was less than a hundred, but the people of Daxia, who were responsible for escorting logistics materials, were affected, and there were about a thousand deaths.

But it's not a big problem, the people in these dead areas are also because they hate the barbarians too much, and when they saw someone attacking the barbarians, they also went up to help, but they were killed by the barbarians, if it wasn't for Zhao Yun shouting and stopping it in time, they might have died more.

"Strategist, what should I do with these supplies?"

Looking at the countless carts and the materials on them, Zhao Yun asked.

"Take away what you can take, destroy everything that can't be taken, and don't leave it for the barbarians. ”

Zhao Yun nodded, and ordered the soldiers to take away some of the more precious materials, and all the rest were burned with fire.

After this operation, Jia Xu changed his strategy in an instant, from the strategy of exterminating the barbarian tribe and attracting the barbarians to return to defense, to intercepting the barbarian logistics and cutting off the barbarian rations on the front line, so as to achieve the goal of forcing the barbarians to retreat.

Even Dugu's quest for defeat was invited out by Jia Xu and them, and asked him to help find out if there was a logistics convoy in the rest of the directions.

Dugu also knew that the matter was urgent, so he didn't shirk it, but just asked everyone to be careful, not to be caught by the barbarian holy fetus.

After a day of exploration, Dugu Qiu Defeat detected five or six barbarian logistics troops, all of which were about the same size as before.

Jia Xu and others were also unkind, and immediately changed the route and wiped out these logistics troops one by one, not only cutting off the supply of barbarians, but also rescuing nearly 100,000 people in Daxia by the way.

In these few actions, the harvest exceeded the sum of the six medium-sized tribes they exterminated, especially the people of Great Xia, most of the people who could survive in the hands of the barbarians were strong men, which also added nearly 100,000 troops to Zhao Yun and others.
