Li Hao took a group of Linghui soldiers to the Keke River quickly, only to see that the river water that was still choppy yesterday was obviously much smaller today, and the riverbed on both sides of the river was exposed to the scorching sun, and the silt had cracked, and with the retirement of time, the water level was still decreasing.

Li Hao squatted on the ground, touched the silt by the river with his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The upstream water source has been cut off!" ”

The Linghui lecturers couldn't help but gasp.

This is worthy of the territory of the Turks, and it is possible to mobilize so many manpower to cut off a large river in a matter of days.

Now the Linghui army is trapped on the bank of the Keke River, unable to advance or retreat, the supply line is blocked, and even the water source is in danger of being cut off at any time. The situation became precarious for a while.

Li Hao did not dare to hesitate, immediately summoned the soldiers, took out all the utensils that could hold water, and hurriedly loaded the water before the Keke River was completely cut off, so as to ensure the drinking water resources of the army as much as possible.

But this kind of behavior treats the symptoms but not the root cause, the water consumed by hundreds of thousands of troops every day is an astronomical amount, even if the Linghui army fills all the water storage vessels, without supplies, it can only last for seven days at most.

Now the problem in front of Linghui Army is not only food and grass, but also drinking water.

In the military tent, the generals of the Linghui Army got together and rarely quarreled.

Now that the form is not favorable to the Linghui army, some people suggest that a general attack on the Turks should be launched immediately, before the Linghui army runs out of food, grass and drinking water, first repel the enemies lying in ambush around the barracks, and then turn around to clear the blockage on the grain road, and then slowly figure it out.

Some people believe that if they lose this battle and continue to entangle with the enemy, they can only cut off their own way back, and they suggest that they immediately gather the three-way army to retreat to Lingzhou to discuss.

In the camp, the generals were divided into two factions and quarreled fiercely. The usual peaceful scene is completely gone.

And Li Hao, who is the spiritual pillar of all the Linghui Army, didn't say a word at this time, standing alone in front of the camp window and looking out, between his eyebrows, there was a little more sad look.

When the soldiers of the Linghui Army outside the tent saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel a little chill in their hearts.

Since Li Hao was born, he has lived too smoothly over the years and has never encountered any setbacks. Today's expedition to the Turks, fighting away, the right time, place and people are in the hands of the enemy, and the defeat has little to do with him. But this defeat seems to have hit his self-confidence.

Li Hao, who has always been full of self-letters, seems to have begun to doubt himself.

It's just that everyone didn't notice that in the barracks, several unfamiliar faces were also quietly watching Li Hao's expression, and then silently mixed in the crowd and disappeared into the sea of people.

A few hours later, the Turkic military camp.

"Is that true? The Linghui Army is in chaos? ”

A Turkic general was overjoyed and rose from his position.

The messenger knelt in the center of the tent, and the joy on his face was overflowing: "It's true, a few days ago, the Linghui army was in chaos, and our people took the opportunity to change into their clothes and sneaked into the Linghui army. Even Li Hao, the king of Zhen'an, couldn't suppress the situation! ”

"Great!" The Turkic generals cheered.

"Immortal God bless, this abominable Linghui army has finally been defeated under our Turkic iron hooves!"

After being pressed and beaten by the Linghui Army for so many years, everyone in the Turkic soldiers hated Li Hao to the core, and at this moment I heard that even Li Hao could not stabilize the situation, everyone seemed to have a bad breath, and the feeling of happiness could not be described in words.

"Mr. Erro, this soldier who has cut off the water source is really smart, now the Linghui army can't escape from it, and the military food and water sources are all cut off, even if Li Hao has the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible to turn the tide of the battle!"

"Sir! The Linghui army has the courage to invade our sacred grassland, and today we must not let them out alive, the last general will ask for their life, lead the troops to block their retreat, as long as they are trapped on the bank of the Keke River for seven days, the Linghui army will definitely collapse! ”

The Turkic generals were in high spirits and wanted to abandon Suel to fight.

Erro smiled slightly: "The generals have the heart to kill the enemy and serve the country, and Erro will naturally help!" Come on, bring up the map! ”

Several Turkic soldiers immediately carried a huge scroll into the camp, and the scroll opened to reveal a detailed map of the Turkic terrain.

"Generals, please follow my instructions and divide your forces to defend these passes. As soon as the Linghui army retreats to the pass you guard, they will immediately attack and block them, and they will not have to kill the enemy, just trap them in the steppe of our Turks. ”

As soon as the generals looked at the map, they had already listed all the possible retreat routes of the Linghui army, and at each pass, the number of garrisons was marked, and there were no less than 100 places, and the defense lines set up were all easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If the Linghui Army really convoyed, it would definitely be devastated.

Even if they can break through and return to Lingzhou, they will definitely suffer heavy losses, and it will be difficult to recover for several years.

"Look, aren't these three passes the ones we deliberately lost when we tested the combat power of the Linghui Army?"

The sharp-eyed general has already seen the three important defensive passes marked on the map, which turned out to be the three levels that were conquered by the Linghui Army!

This time, everyone suddenly realized that the abandonment of Suello had been counted from the very beginning to today.

The pass that was originally deliberately thrown away in order to test the strength of the Linghui Army has now become a sharp sword on the neck of the Linghui Army, and this kind of strategy is amazing.

It's just that......

Suddenly, a young general walked out, clasped his fists and said to Suel: "Sir, you are far-sighted, we admire it from the bottom of our hearts, but now the strength in our hands is not much different from the Linghui Army, if we rashly transfer most of the army to the front to guard, and the Linghui Army goes the opposite way, not retreating but advancing, even if we have the advantage of the grassland, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat them!" ”

After he reminded him like this, several generals around him also reacted instantly, and they all turned their eyes to abandon Suello, wanting to hear his opinion.

The Linghui Army is not an ordinary enemy, although they are now controlled everywhere, their strength is still not to be underestimated.

At present, the number of troops in the hands of Su Erluo is only 150,000, and the strength of his 100,000 troops to be transferred to various passes to guard the garrison of the Linghui Army is not enough. If the Linghui Army resisted desperately, wouldn't they have lost all their previous achievements?

Abandon Suello but just smiled: "Rest assured, generals, the retreat of the Linghui Army is just my strategy, if they really want to retreat, with the strength in our hands, maybe they may not be able to leave them." Even if we kill 100,000 Linghui troops and escape back to the Li Kingdom by Li Hao alone, it will be a big trouble for us. But on the contrary, if they don't leave, they have to fight to the death with us from far away, which is what I want! ”

"What do you mean, sir?"

Everyone was puzzled and hurriedly asked.

Suello sneered and raised his hand to point to the upper reaches of the Keke River.

"I'm blocking the river, not just to cut off the water source of the Linghui Army! When capturing Lingzhou City, didn't the Linghui Army use the strategy of flooding the Seventh Army? If you don't stop water to control the water, how can you appease the heroic spirits of the tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers who died outside Lingzhou City? ”
