Chapter 723: Grassland Zeguo

The generals were unwilling to pull back the front that had been advanced with great difficulty, but they couldn't think of a better way, so they could only do what Li Hao instructed, and everyone left the tent and began to notify the three armies to prepare to pull out the camp.

Among the handsome tents, only Li Hao and Tart Yanyan were left.

"My lord, although your strategy can temporarily curb the enemy's fatigue tactics, it is ultimately a palliative rather than a cure. As soon as we retreat, the Volga Khanate will certainly push the front forward. It doesn't take much time to dig the traps, but if we retreat again and again, the morale will be over! ”

Li Hao looked at this smart girl and smiled slightly: "Come and see!" ”

Tart Yan Yan hurriedly walked to Li Hao's side.

Li Hao pointed to a large area east of the Linghui Army on the map and said, "Princess Yan Yan is all over the world, can you know where this place is?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be Dry Ze!" Tart pull Yan Yan said without thinking about it.

Li Hao nodded: "King Gu Ben understands that this was originally a big lake, but later the lake dried up due to climate change, and finally became a valley. ”

"Why did the prince suddenly talk about this?"

"Hehe, princess, don't worry, and listen to me slowly. A few days ago, I watched the sky at night, and I asked a lot of locals about it. Learned that the next few months will be the rainy season in the grasslands! At this time of year, the dry river is filled with rainwater, recreating the scene of rippling blue waves in those days. ”

Tart Yan Yan carefully analyzed Li Hao's rhetoric, and still couldn't figure out what a lake had to do with the future strategy.

Li Hao smiled: "This lake is our bottom line. If the enemy really uses fatigue tactics to attack, we will retreat to the other side of the lake to rest and work, and I don't believe that they will be able to dig traps in the lake. ”

"You have a point in saying this, but if we really retreat to Hudong, our cavalry and chariots will not be needed. Isn't that also tantamount to cutting off one's own arm? ”

Li Hao chuckled: "Don't worry, Princess Yanyan, the mountain people have their own tricks!" As long as we can survive until the end of the rainy season, this battle is over! Before that, I hope Princess Yan Yan can help this king run! ”

"To what?"

Li Hao spread his hands: "Since there is a lake, I naturally need a boat, and I hope that the princess will return to Lijiazhuang and bring some boats back for later use!" ”

"So...... Well, since the prince insisted, Yan Yan believed in the prince's judgment! Yan Yan couldn't guess what Li Hao wanted, so she simply didn't think about it.

"Thank you, princess, the rainy season is coming, we don't have much time to delay, please princess set off early tomorrow morning, a month

In the room, you must prepare the ships for the army! ”

"Good!"

In the following days, as Li Hao said, the grassland entered the rainy season. The pouring rain poured down and poured on the warriors. Fortunately, the grassland is flat, otherwise with such a large amount of rainfall, this place would have become a country long ago.

As he expected, the Volga Khanate continued to harass the Linghui army and used fatigue tactics to wear down the fighting spirit of the Linghui army.

There was a trap behind them, and the Linghui army could not pursue, but Volga had to fight the enemy every time the war drums were beaten. Both physically and mentally, they are being tortured and tormented by the enemy.

Forced to helpless, Li Hao could only pull out the camp and retreat again and again, constantly giving up the battle line. Volgabao's army continued to push forward and chase closely.

Retreating without a fight, the morale of the Linghui Army began to decline uncontrollably, and the faces of the soldiers lost their usual pride and became lifeless.

Among the barracks of the Volga Khanat.

A pale-skinned scribe sat with the gold-armored general, and the gold-armored general couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that the Linghui army had retreated again and again, and in less than a month, it had retreated for fifty miles.

"Mr. Taidayar really cleverly dug a trap behind our army, and the Linghui army really didn't dare to confront us head-on, so they could only retreat. If they continue to retreat like this, they will all catch up and sweep the Tang Heavenly Army of the grassland tribes to the east! ”

Taidayar chuckled, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, general, they can't retreat that far!" Drying up is their bottom line. If they retreat further, they will exceed the territory of the Turks, and if they retreat, our army can use 500,000 soldiers to take advantage of the situation to move south and sweep the Central Plains, and they will not be able to stop it. ”

"Sir is right!"

"General, is the ship I asked for ready to go?"

"Sir, don't worry, what you said will naturally not dare to slack off, the rainy season does not leave the expedition, the dry Ze has become an ocean, how can you fight without a boat? The rear of our army has already sent the ship, and it only needs an order from the gentleman to go to the battlefield! ”

"So good! Crossing the dry Ze is the bottom line of the Linghui Army, no matter what, they don't dare to retreat, they can only fight with us. The Linghui army has been retreating for more than a month, and its morale has already suffered a heavy blow, and if it confronts our army head-on, it will definitely collapse at the first touch! ”

"But I heard that the Li Kingdom's naval army is extraordinary, and we can really take advantage of them in fighting on the water?"

"The general is relieved! The Li Kingdom's sailors are powerful dragon scale battleships, although their sailors are strong, but if they lose the dragon scale battleships, they are just a group of toothless tigers, so there is nothing to fear. If the spirit

The Hui army really dares to fight with us in a life-and-death battle on the shore of Dry Ze Lake, I dare to guarantee with my head that there will never be a name for the Hui army in the world! ”

"Sir's spirit, Ben will be deeply admired, I salute you, let us bury this undefeated army together!"

——

It was rainy and sunny.

Because of this wet and cold weather, many officers and men in the army have fallen ill. Fortunately, the accompanying physicians were all high-achieving students who graduated from Lijiazhuang Medical College, and they kept controlling the epidemic in the Chinese army all day long, barely controlling typhoid fever, and did not cause too much turmoil.

That night, the heavy rain for a month finally stopped, and Li Hao walked out of the tent, looking up at the starry sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

At the back of the camp, a group of men and horses suddenly came.

"Lord Wang, Princess Yan Yan, they're back!" A falcon warrior hurriedly ran to Li Hao's side and said.

Li Hao hurriedly turned around and ran out of the camp to greet him in person.

There were about 10,000 people in this team, all of them horses dressed as merchants. There was not a single branch of the ship, and the caravan wagons were carrying pieces of material of different shapes and sizes.

When Yan Yan saw Li Hao come out to greet him in person, she couldn't help but smile slightly: "Lord Wang, the ship is too big and it is not easy to transport, recently the shipyard in Hangzhou Port has invented this simple ship branch, which can be used when assembled, and I will use it for emergency!" ”

"Just have them!" Li Hao said with a smile.

Although the soldiers of the Linghui Army are not bad in terms of water nature, they are not sailors after all. They could not be expected to fight the army of the Volga Khanate on Lake Ganze. These boats are just there to help them get across the lake.

"By the way, Yan Yan is working, do you have other supplies?"

Tart Yan Yan shook her head: "These materials are rationed by special personnel, so why should I worry about it?" ”

As she spoke, she stepped aside, revealing two delicate figures behind her.

Li Hao looked at the two of them and exclaimed in shock.

"Mingda! Ziyin! How did you come here? ”

Li Mingda and Li Ziyin were wearing robes, but they couldn't hide their beauty, Li Mingda took a few steps forward and came to Li Hao.

"It's been a few months since we got married, and you and I have less and more husband and wife, and I came here to look for you for my wife!"

Li Hao smiled helplessly: "The battlefield is dangerous, you will go after you put down the supplies!" ”

Li Mingda shook his head very firmly.

"In the past, we didn't want to be your shackles, and we have been letting you do whatever you want, today's war is a matter of life and death, we naturally want to stand behind you and help you!"
