Chapter Seventy-One: Discovery

It's been almost a month. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This was the time of a stalemate with the army led by Jibri.

During this period, the army of the steppe did not even make the slightest sortie. This is obviously a very peculiar thing. Not to mention the old general Qin, even if it is the military division Nan Xiao, he feels extremely strange.

This side of the grassland simply can't afford to spend time, whether it's in logistics or in terms of being a warrior in itself. The longer the time elapses, the lower the morale on this side of the grassland. Similarly, the grasslands do not have enough food to survive the winter.

This abnormal waiting and stalemate made Nan Xiao realize that something was wrong, these days, Nan Xiao was almost squatting in the big tent with the map, for him, if he didn't solve the problem of the other party's strange actions, I was afraid that there would be problems in the defense strategy in the future.

Yes. The biggest fear in war is information asymmetry. Or that the intelligence is insufficient.

The steppe people are obviously planning something, and such abnormal waiting is very terrifying. The other party is not only a matter of patience, but also an inexplicable stalemate without benefits, and no army will do this.

"Otherwise, take the initiative and test the other party?" Nan Xiao's heart popped up with such an idea. "But if the other side is holding together, it is a very dangerous behavior for our side to take the initiative. ”

The army is small, and that is just a chance to encircle and annihilate the other side. There are too many sorties, and the gains outweigh the losses. What's more, the Fire Phoenix itself is an army known for its stubborn defense. Although the field cavalry is not weak, the number of people is not comparable to that of the grassland.

Besides, the two armies had not fought without tentative battles before.

The confrontation of the vanguard army, neither side was able to get the advantage. There seems to be a shortage of generals on this side of the grassland, but the level of cavalry is not low, and the number of people exceeds twice that of the Fire Phoenix Army. Even if Nan Xiao could see that these were just cavalry temporarily transformed by herdsmen, these people had been riding on horses since they were children, and their riding skills alone surpassed the cavalry on Huofeng's side by a lot. The combat power is weak, and the number of people is used to make up for it. The previous tentative behavior, the cavalry side also failed to achieve any merit.

"Damn, what are these grassland people planning?" Nan Xiao slapped the map, his expression very unhappy.

In the big tent, Nan Xiao is not alone at this time. It was rare to see Han Feng, who was crazy about Nan Xiao, also resting in the big tent. Well, after all, the big tent is relatively tight, and the heat wave and the sun are perfectly blocked, so it is a pleasure to take a lunch break here.

Han Feng had been awake for a while, looking at Nan Xiao with a puzzled expression. The veteran couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, Nan boy, I didn't expect you to have such a time. Han Feng laughed unceremoniously. "Usually you look calm and confident, but this is a failure. Hahahaha. ”

"Fuck your uncle. Nan Xiao himself is irritable enough, and he is also familiar with General Han in private, so he is also polite in his mouth. Now like this, there is no Confucian general's graceful appearance at all. It made Han Feng feel even more funny.

"Okay, that map can be drawn in the eyes of that officer and soldier of the Fire Phoenix Army. If you stare at it for ten days, you will definitely not gain anything. Han Feng muttered, "If you want me to see, this group of grassland dogs is just pretending to be garlic." I'm afraid there is no conspiracy at all. Is it possible that you can still climb the mountain from Baililin?"

"The grassland organized such a large army, and without strategic arrangements, it was so reckless to organize 200,000 people to attack Fengguan. Do you think this is possible?" Nan Xiao laughed angrily.

Prairie people are also people, and they are not idiots. The consumption of 200,000 troops remained, enough to feed half of the tribe for the winter. How is it possible to do such a meaningless consumption. The other party must have some back-up moves or arrangements, but Nan Xiao won't be able to judge it at all for a while.

Wait a minute.

What did Han Feng say just now?

"Baililin, Baililin!" Nan Xiao's head instantly seemed to be poured with light, and the whole person was stunned.

"Is it difficult, the other party plans to pass through Baili Lin and go directly around to enter the Central Plains!"

Nan Xiao's words were almost shouted, which startled Han Feng.

". Han Feng pursed his lips, "That group of turtle grandchildren came from Baili Forest? It's not that I haven't explored Baili Lin in my early years, and it's also a place where people can pass through?"

"Nothing is impossible. Nan Xiao seemed to have figured it out, "Back then, Fengguan was also in the area of Baililin, and it was not taken down by continuous development year after year. It's very likely that what you said is, I suspect that the grassland may have mastered the passage from Baili Lin to the Central Plains!"

"I said Southern Military Division, you don't dare to talk nonsense!" Han Feng stood up directly, "This is not a joke!"

"I'm not kidding!" Nan Xiao's face became gloomy, "Damn, I'm afraid we've already been put on the table! Think about it, this big move on the grassland, and then contact the current situation where the other party is deadlocked and inactive." The performance of the two does not match, and the posture of spending a month in vain but not in a hurry at all!

Nan Xiao's judgment frightened Han Feng, and the two of them realized at the same time that if it was really the other party who found a way to bypass Fengguan from Baili Lin to the rear, this war would probably be over!

The two of them only felt their scalps tingle.

"No! you must not sit still!" Nan Xiao flipped through the map, "The other party passes through Baililin, there must be an exit." And after passing through the Baili Forest area bordering Fengguan and the Central Plains, there are only 60 miles along the line! Send elite cavalry to patrol around the border! You will definitely be able to defend the opponent's army!"

Nan Xiao thought of the problem and did it!

This is a judgment of life and death, and no one dares to slack off.

Old General Qin's complexion also changed color after hearing the news. Immediately arranged for the elite cavalry, including General Yu Bi, General Nan Xiao and General Guo Bi, three general-level officers to go to the border of Baili Forest to patrol and defend.

He also thought about his daughter going to the surrounding area of Baili Lin to train troops, and arranged for Nan Xiao to call on the other party to return to Fengguan immediately once he met Qin Yu's Fengwu army.

All of this was done in a single day. Nan Xiao didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately led the army to set off.

The 20,000 cavalry were divided into ten troops, guarding more than 60 miles of land almost without gaps. Nan Xiao's judgment is still relatively accurate, these sixty miles of land, close to Fengguan and Fengcheng, if the other party wants to complete the purpose of the attack, it will appear from here.

Otherwise, if you choose other places, it will be a bit of a detour for strategic purposes. Nan Xiao wasn't sure if he could leave the other party behind with the people in his hands, but no matter what, he couldn't let the other party enter the Central Plains unharmed. Otherwise, the results will be devastating.

Time quickly proved Nan Xiao's correctness.

On the edge of Baili Forest, near Fengcheng, a scout discovered the movement of the march. Nan Xiao almost mobilized the army without hesitation and directly charged to gather near Baili Lin.

This group of cavalry is equipped with cavalry crossbows, and Nan Xiao arranged for the troops to be divided into three levels. Prepare to give the steppe troops a direct head-on attack.

After guarding for half an hour, Lin Zi really moved. Nan Xiao stretched out his hand to signal for vigilance, his eyes staring at the forest tightly.

A moment later, a team of centaurs appeared in the woods.

The leader was stunned and opened his mouth directly.

"Uncle Nanxiao, I said, what are you doing here?"
