Huge armies moved south one after another, leaving thick ruts and hoofprints on the hard frozen ground.

Before leaving, Li Qingyan summoned his generals to hold a military meeting against the barbarians.

Although it is said a lot, it can be shortened down to three words.

Discover, catch up, destroy.

The most critical of these is the first discovery.

Just like the champion Hou in the history of the previous life, the difficulty is not to win the war, but to discover the main force of the barbarians.

Although the barbarian army has been winning battles under the leadership of that foreign king, its military strength is much weaker than when it first detoured to the north and closed down the south of the city.

Li Qingyan went out of the city to attack the camp and killed a batch, stormed the northern city and killed a batch, and defeated the 300,000 sect army and killed a large number of others.

In Xu Yuan's words, although the barbarian side is like a rainbow, in fact, more than half of the manpower yellow stripes have been consumed.

Due to the lack of manpower, the barbarians can only keep winning battles and win big victories in order to complete the eternal feat of ants devouring elephants, and the Great Yan Dynasty, which has a rich family, can lose, but as long as they win once, the barbarians will be doomed.

This is probably the sorrow of the barbarian king, or the whole barbarian.

The days of Baying and going south were very busy, but for Xu Yuan, it was quite boring.

For that reason, this supernumerary idle person of his layman is not worthy of participating in the military.

However, Li Qingyan was busy, and he was too busy to sleep with him.

A new day,

When Xu Yuan woke up from his sleep, he saw Li Qingyan sitting at the table opposite and watching the military situation.

It is estimated that this woman has not slept all night.

After the war machine began to operate at high load, many affairs needed to be seen and decided by Li Qingyan, the commander-in-chief.

A good general is not just responsible for leading troops to fight.

Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of troops, marching speeds, marching routes, communication with friendly forces, ordnance attrition, and supplies distributed to the grassroots all need to be seen by her.

Sitting up from the soft couch and rubbing his eyebrows, Xu Yuan pulled the curtain of the car curtain and looked outside.

The carriage was transformed from a military baggage beast car, and the interior space was large, larger than the two RVs in Xu Yuan's previous life.

Outside the beast cart, all you can see is the Beifeng army in white armor.

More than 100 Beifeng guards riding tall demon horses guarded the beast cart where the boss was, the armor was glowing with metallic luster, and the friction of the armor of the heavily armored soldiers while walking listened to the inexplicable blood, while the giant beast cart full of baggage in the distance let out a low groan from time to time, leaving heavy ruts on the ground.

Everything was going in order on the way south.

However, compared to the bright sun at the time of departure, the clouds above the sky at this moment have condensed again, as if the essence of them will fall on the earth at any time.

Retracting his gaze, Xu Yuan looked at the red-armored woman in the carriage:

"Where are we now?"

Li Qingyan didn't raise his eyes and replied softly:

"There are still about 100 miles away from the Northern Lockdown."

"What about the barbarians?" Xu Yuan asked the question he was most concerned about.

Li Qingyan's Beifeng army can be regarded as the vanguard army of the coalition army, and if there is an encounter, it must be their vanguard army that first comes into contact with the barbarians.

Li Qingyan shook his head slightly:

"I didn't find out, I have arranged for the flying scouts to cooperate with the heavy cavalry of the sect to go to the area of the North Closure City to investigate, but the Barbarian King seems to have directly abandoned the North Seal City."

Xu Yuan chuckled when he heard this:

"How can the Northern Closure City, where the northern city wall has collapsed, be able to hold it?"

Li Qingyan finally raised his eyes when he heard this, with a hint of a smile on his lips:

"You thought about it when you were going to blow up the walls, right?"

Xu Yuan got up and walked to the opposite side of the simple table in the car, took out a futon and sat down:

"No, I simply want to use the barbarian knife to chop off the 300,000 elites of the Northern Sect, and even if the northern city wall is still built, the barbarians will not defend the northern seal."

Li Qingyan gently put down the file in his hand and chuckled:

"Yes, if there is no Yunqi bullet, the barbarians may take advantage of the blizzard to defend the north seal, after all, they can attack the reinforcements outside the city at any time, but with the cloud qi bullet, the barbarians will be waiting to die if they defend the north seal."

And halfway through speaking, Li Qingyan suddenly changed his words and sighed lightly:

"However, the barbarian king guessed that we did not have many Yun Qi bullets, and retreated into our Great Yan territory, wanting to wait for us to exhaust all the Yun Qi bullets."

A very simple corollary,

If the Great Yan Yun Qi bullet is sufficient, it will definitely not be as cautious as this, just go all the way to the cloud Qi bullet and run south.

Thinking of this,

Xu Yuan didn't say anything, and casually picked up the report that Li Qingyan put down and looked at it.

It records some non-combat attrition last night, in short, the rout of the sect and the brawl that occurred with them.

After a little silence, Xu Yuan frowned and asked:

"The sect is not honest?"

Li Qingyan replied indifferently:

"What happened last night when the grain and grass were handed over, they thought that there was too little grain and grass, and those border troops knew very well that they had become cannon fodder for Xingtu, so it was normal for some conflicts to occur in such a mood. But these are not important, as long as you hold the grain and grass in your hands, the generals on the sect's side will find a way to solve it by themselves. ”

Xu Yuan smiled dumbly:

"Also, they don't know that their mountain gate is going to be gone, and they are still a family on the surface, if they choose to rebel, it will give the court a reason to move them."

After a pause,

Xu Yuan then asked:

"But now that you can't catch the main force of the barbarians, what are you going to do?"

Li Qingyan pursed his lips and smiled, and turned his eyes sideways:

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Xu Yuan pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled:

"Falsehood."

Li Qingyan snorted, and his slender and delicate fingertips buckled the table:

"Blocking the pass of the Northern Blockade, sending high-level cultivators and flying scouts to explore the mountain range, preventing them from making a detour back to the snow field, and at the same time arranging for the heavy cavalry of the sect to find them in the territory, will trap the barbarians in the territory of Great Yan."

Xu Yuan thought for a moment when he heard this:

"Now that the north is frozen by blizzards, except for those cities in the north and the home forts built by some landlords and gentry outside the city, the people in the towns and villages outside are either frozen to death or have fled.

Li Qingyan stared at her and said with a smile:

"You're right, but it's a lie."

“.” Xu Yuan.

"Do you want to know what the truth is?"

"I don't want to." Xu Yuan had a bad premonition, don't start.

Li Qingyan raised his hand and used Yuan Qi to break Xu Yuan's head back:

"Hongu thinks you do."

Sighing, Xu Yuan looked at her bright eyes and asked:

"Why?"

"The scouts sent to the vicinity of the Northern Seal City have news that the corpses of the border soldiers of the sect, the corpses of the barbarians, and even the three-headed ice beast colossus are only half a shell left."

As he spoke, Li Qingyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Donkey, how long do you think the barbarians can survive on these "grain and grass"? ”

The corners of Xu Yuan's eyes jumped, and he was silent for a long time:

"It seems that the barbarian king has been transporting "grain" during the gap of the past few days."

Li Qingyan took a deep breath, and then exhaled, his tight chest undulating without heaving:

"That barbarian king is really smart, at the moment of the end of the war, he was already ready to use these stolen "grain" and us to consume here, there is such an army hidden in my Great Yan territory, there is no dare to transport grain to the north on a large scale, we can only rely on the Sumeru ring for supplies, we can't afford to consume. ”

Speaking of this, Li Qingyan clenched his fists slightly:

"Moreover, the father and the emperor also need the Northern Seal Army and the Black Scale Army to participate in the extermination of the Northern Sect, the longer it drags on, the greater the risk of exposure."

The high-level cultivators in the mountain gate are not like ordinary people, even if they are strictly guarded, they may escape out, and once they secretly slaughter the sect, even if only one person escapes, the entire northern sect will get this news in a short time.

The Beifeng Army and the Black Scale Army are invested in it to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

After a little silence, Xu Yuan suddenly asked:

"With such a huge army as a barbarian, it is impossible for them to disappear silently, can they be tracked?"

Li Qingyan said helplessly:

"The wind and snow have directly covered all their tracks, and it is not easy to track them down with a time difference of nearly ten years."

Xu Yuan was quiet for a long time, and said in a low voice:

"So you want to go it alone? Use your body as bait to lure the barbarian army to encircle and suppress you? ”

"Yes."

"But what if the barbarians return to the northern snowfields along the mountain road they came from?"

"Mr. Zong has already given a death order, let the high-ranking powerhouses of the army be responsible for high-intensity patrols in an area between the Wanren Mountain Range and the Tianxue Mountain Range, and not give the barbarians any chance to make a detour to the north."

“.” Xu Yuan.

The lives of high-level cultivators are very expensive, and they generally do not do high-risk work such as patrolling, because once they are discovered by the main force of the barbarian army, a totem can make them return to the Western Heavens.

But again, if something happens to them in the area they patrol, they can be sure that there is a barbarian army in that area.

It seems that Zong Qingsheng and Li Qingyan have already made up their minds to make a quick decision.

Li Qingyan stood up resolutely, glanced back at the silent Xu Yuan, and said:

"Now dividing and encircling and annihilating with more fights and fewer is the only chance for that barbarian alien king to turn defeat into victory, as long as I can hold back the main force of the barbarian and detonate the Yunqi bullet, and let Mr. Zong come to help, I can set the battle situation in the north in the shortest possible time."

Half a day later,

As the vanguard, the Beifeng Army took the lead in arriving under the Beifeng City and began to rectify.

A day later,

The Black Scale Army led by Zong Qingsheng arrived at the Northern Seal City.

After the two armies handed over the necessary baggage and ordnance, Li Qingyan led the Beifeng army of the two towns and Luo Qingfeng's 20,000 border troops, and directly braved the wind and snow to cross the Beifeng City and continue to move south, tracking the barbarian army.

There is one thing to say,

Xu Yuan is not very approving of this kind of risky behavior, especially since this risk may put his own life into it.

But it's a pity that others are soft-spoken and don't count.

Even though he was surrounded by guards with big muscles in armor, even if there was a crazy woman like Li Qingyan next to him, marching in the blizzard still made Xu Yuan feel very insecure.

But fortunately, Zong Qingsheng was very generous and directly assigned most of the scouts of the Black Scale Army to Li Qingyan's command.

Hundreds of well-trained scouts roamed in front of the army, relaying information in a continuous stream to provide early warning for the Chinese army.

And Xu Yuan, as Li Qingyan's personal guard and concubine, can also read these military intelligence reports when he is bored.

The information that can be reported to Li Qingyan is basically the important information that has been screened by the deputy generals below.

Well, relatively important.

On the first day, there was no military intelligence, but due to the blizzard, the scouts were injured in non-combat.

On the second day, two villages destroyed by the blizzard were found in the southwest and southeast directions of the army, and the frozen corpses of the people inside had not been touched.

On the third day, a small number of flying scouts encountered the barbarian bones-winged birds, losing seven people, and the ground scouts were ambushed by the barbarian wolf riders in a canyon, killing nine and missing thirteen, and the army turned to chase the anomalous canyon.

On the fourth day, fighting between the scouts of the two armies began to become frequent, and the total number of casualties reported in one day exceeded 100.

On the fifth day, the scouts came with the news that only a small number of wounded barbarians in the canyon had been wiped out by the Grand Master of the army.

On the sixth day, the army entered Ningyuan County and forced the local gentry to donate grain and supplies.

On the thirteenth day, the barbarians attacked on a small scale, and the border army of Zongmen lost 137 people and 14 non-combat personnel.

On the 14th, the barbarians attacked on a small scale, and the border army of Zongmen lost 36 people, and the Beifeng army lost 17 people.

Day 16

"Smack!"

Xu Yuan casually threw the file in his hand on the table in the beast cart, sat back on the soft couch, and let out a long sigh:

"No, when did this guerrilla war come to an end?"

This barbarian king is really as oily as a loach, and the Beifeng army has been going around in this extreme north Tianshui Continent for almost a month, but they have not been able to catch them even a single hair, on the contrary, the whole army is still exhausted by the barbarian attack.

It belongs to the play of guerrilla warfare clearly.

Li Qingyan got up and walked to Xu Yuan and sat down, the soft couch sank slightly, and said softly:

"Horses, nine times out of ten those who are unsatisfactory in life, isn't that what you said? It is impossible to let the barbarian king directly attack with all his might, after all, war is not child's play, if he loses the bet once, the entire barbarian clan will be doomed. ”

“.”

Xu Yuan was lying on the soft couch, his hands were pillowed behind his head, and he stared at the ceiling of the carriage with his legs crossed, and suddenly said:

"Hey, why don't we put some pressure on the barbarian king?"

"Pressure?" Li Qingyan raised his eyebrows.

Xu Yuan looked at her cold side face and said in a low voice:

"Tell him directly that your Uncle Namu went to the Extremely Dark Land to raid their hometown."

“.” Li Qingyan was slightly stunned.

Xu Yuan looked back, his eyes were strange:

"Why, can't this information be told to the Barbarian King?"

"No, of course."

Li Qingyan's phoenix eyes flickered for a moment, and then smiled: "Such a bad move, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Xu Yuan slowly sat up and said in a low voice:

"It takes time for Dali Mountain to reach the extremely dark land, if the barbarians also have a means of long-distance communication, it is very likely that they will startle the snake, and now Wu Chenghou has probably been there for a while."

Li Qingyan's eyes flickered for a moment:

"The barbarian king's lifelong dream was to obtain a place for his people to survive, and now if he learns that his women and children have been slaughtered."

As he spoke, Li Qingyan's eyes narrowed into two crystal crescents, with excitement:

"It should be interesting to think about."
