Sure enough, as Zhang Chenyu expected, as the harsh winter was getting closer and closer, the barbarian tribal coalition army that was cowering in the depths of the northern Xinjiang grassland finally couldn't bear it anymore and came out of the grassland to find supplies for the winter!

However, when the vanguard of the barbarian tribal alliance army appeared in the grassland belonging to the subtemperate zone, it was attacked by the Yan State Iron Cavalry, and the vanguard of hundreds of thousands of barbarian tribal alliance army became the fertilizer of the fragrant green grass on the grassland of northern Xinjiang!

The sudden loss couldn't help but make the barbarian tribal coalition become cautious and cautious, and began to assemble on a large scale to loot the desolate tribes in the subtemperate region, and they actually succeeded at first!

After learning the news, Zhang Chenyu couldn't help but smile leisurely, it seems that this time the barbarian tribal alliance army cowering in the depths of the northern Xinjiang grassland has really reached the point of desperation!

"Pass on my commander's order, order the right general Xiang Qing and the left general Xiang Fang, each with 100,000 horses, to leave supplies in those abandoned tribal camps in the subtemperate zone!" Zhang Chenyu said softly after looking at the map of the northern grasslands

Hearing Zhang Chenyu's words, General Xiang Qing couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Zhang Chenyu with some consternation and asked: "General Zhang, what do you mean, if we cut off the grain route of the barbarian tribe alliance now, after a long time, they will definitely be able to break themselves, why do you still send them supplies?"

"I also understand General Xiang's concerns, but as the so-called declining army will win, if we cut off the supply of the barbarian tribal alliance army all at once now, maybe it will only have the opposite effect, once they launch a ruthless attack and concentrate all their strength to attack our camp, in the end, even if we can win, it will be greatly damaged, now the nine great powers seem to be peaceful, in fact, it is only a superficial phenomenon, if we Yan Kingdom is hit hard here, then you said that the Dadu Kingdom and the Zhao State bordering us will let go of this opportunity to annex us in one go!" Looking at Xiang Qing, Zhang Chenyu asked silently

Hearing this, Xiang Qing was speechless, that's right, this world is like this, the weak eat the strong, if you don't have enough strength, you will face the possibility of being devoured at any time, even if the capital country with a loss in the treasury is still the Zhao country that has just been conquered!

After a pause, Zhang Chenyu smiled and said: "That's right, this is exactly my concern, so we want to give these barbarians some hope, when they continue to send troops to those subtemperate deserted tribal camps to find supplies, we will completely annihilate those people, so as to weaken the overall strength of the barbarian tribal alliance, so that even if they want to fight back in the future, they will be powerless!"

Hearing Zhang Chenyu's words, the senior generals of the Yan Expeditionary Force in the room nodded one after another, marching and fighting is like this, if you want to achieve victory, you not only need a stable supply line, elite soldiers and sophisticated equipment, and the same superior strategic vision is also equally important!

In just half a month, the barbarian tribal alliance hidden in the depths of the grasslands of northern Xinjiang sent a large number of resource search troops, from a few thousand people cautiously at the beginning, to tens of thousands, and later hundreds of thousands of people were sent unscrupulously!

However, these news were continuously passed to Zhang Chenyu by the eyeliner sent by the Yan State Expeditionary Force, hearing these news, Zhang Chenyu nodded secretly, these simple-minded barbarians were really approaching the trap they had carefully laid step by step without noticing!

"The left and right generals listen to the order, I order you to mobilize 500,000 elite cavalry and 300,000 infantry respectively, and be sure to encircle and annihilate the barbarian tribal alliance that entered the subtemperate zone this time within three days!" When the number of material search troops sent by the barbarian tribal alliance army had reached a certain upper limit, Zhang Chenyu decisively issued an order!

After all, some things change later, although the heads of those generals of the barbarian tribe are dull, but they are definitely not fools, and supplies continue to appear in those abandoned tribal camps in the sub-temperate belt, even fools should understand that this is not a pie-in-the-sky thing, but a trap carefully laid by the enemy!

Hearing Zhang Chenyu's order, the left general Xiang Fang and the right general Xiang Qing took away the troop transfer tiger talisman one after another, and began to dispatch troops and generals, preparing to completely annihilate the barbarian tribe alliance army gathered in the subtemperate zone in large numbers this time!

"Now that the bait has been cast, then I can't be idle, let's see what you plan to do next!" Looking at the map of the northern grassland, Zhang Chenyu used his finger to buckle one of the points

On the other side, the two generals on the left and right attacked back and forth, and in just one day, they swept away the strongholds of the barbarian tribal alliance that had searched for supplies in the subtemperate zone!

But when the two armies gathered at one point, they found that the number of barbarian tribe alliances gathered there was almost the same as the troops they brought, and after a bloody battle, both sides lost hundreds of thousands of people, and then the war of the day was stopped!

"Old General Xiang Qing, it seems that General Zhang guessed well, these barbarians are not elm heads, they actually saw our plan, and deliberately left some bait to ambush us here!"

Hearing this, Xiang Qing nodded and said: "That's right, it seems that we did miscalculate this time, the number of enemies and our soldiers is almost the same, and it is about to enter winter, we can only fight a tug-of-war, hoping that the enemy can be consumed throughout the winter!"

"Passive defense has never been my advocacy!" Just as Xiang Qing finished saying his own words, Zhang Chenyu's voice suddenly sounded behind him

Hearing Zhang Chenyu's voice, the left general Xiang Fang and the right general Xiang Qingdu turned their heads stupidly, if Zhang Chenyu is still sitting firmly in the military tent, then it means that the overall situation of this war has been decided, if Zhang Chenyu ran from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, it means that the matter is very serious!

Seeing the two generals under his command, he was speechless for a while, Zhang Chenyu sighed and said: "After a day of fierce fighting, we are tired, and the enemy is also tired, but the enemy would never have thought that we, who had just been ambushed during the day, would sneak attack them at night!"

After a pause, Zhang Chenyu continued: "As for why the enemy didn't sneak attack us at night, it is because we were ambushed by them during the day, and the defense at night must be extremely tight, so they will definitely choose to sneak attack us at dawn, two generals, if we don't take advantage of the night when the enemy is recuperating and recuperating, do we have to wait for them to give us a pot tomorrow morning!"

Hearing Zhang Chenyu's words, whether it was Xiang Qing or Xiang Fang, they couldn't help but tremble, it turned out that Zhang Chenyu came this time, not because the war had reached the point of irreversibility, but because there was a glimmer of hope in the dark, and it was also an opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the enemy!

"Everyone listen to my orders and attack the enemy camp at night!" Soon, Xiang Fang was the first to react, and immediately led his subordinates to prepare to attack the enemy camp (to be continued. )
