Chu Yuxing's preparations this time were sufficient and he was ready to fight a protracted battle with Ba Niu, so when he learned that Ba Niu's army was defending against danger, he was not in a hurry to attack from the back, but at the foot of the mountain, set up a large camp, and waited until all his troops arrived, and then made further deployments. This situation made Ba Niu feel great pressure. For him, the onslaught of the enemy was not terrible, it was the long siege that was terrible. Although he had made sufficient preparations before this, the daily consumption of 150,000 horses, plus the outcasts, was an astronomical amount, and in the long run, the enemy did not have to attack, they themselves trapped themselves to death.

"Preserve the Giant's Plains no matter what"! Liu Chuanzhi said: "That is our only source of food. Now we all retreat to the high mountains together, although we can avoid the enemy's edge for a short time, and have a certain advantage. But the enemy can eat the Giants' Plains, eat our food, and watch us starve to death."

No one does not know this truth, but the disparity in strength makes them afraid to go head-to-head with the other side in the early stages of the war.

"The enemy naturally knows this," Yao Jinbo said, "and they will inevitably fight for the Giant Plain with heavy troops." If we go with few people, it is tantamount to throwing ourselves into a dead end, and we are not very sure if we go all out. Once the battle for the Giant's Plain is lost, then there will be no follow-up strength to deal with the enemy."

"So we're completely at risk now. Chu Yuxing claims to be 600,000, but in fact it is only 300,000 or 400,000. It is almost impossible for these three or four hundred thousand people to completely besiege us. He must divide his forces to occupy the Giant's Plains, and then come and fight us himself. In this way, our opportunity has come. As long as they have a split of troops, we can attack. or attack the enemy forces in the Giant Plains, or attack the troops of Chu Yuxing. Of course, this is in an ideal situation. There is another situation, which we cannot afford to be unguarded against, that is, the enemy has completely retreated to the Giant Plains, forcing us to fight them there. In this way, we will completely lose the terrain advantage, and we can only fight to the death with them" When Ba Niu said this, his face was worried, and the other people couldn't help but be silent, only Tang Yulin looked disapproving. He smiled indifferently and said extremely relaxedly: "Even if it is the final battle, the enemy may not win." He looked at everyone's puzzled eyes and continued: "They are at most three times our strength, and with one against three, we are not completely at a disadvantage. And the army of the Kangle people, although it cannot be said to be a rabble, is far from the same quality as us. The Huxia people, the Xiling people, the Shuying people, the Baiyu people, and the Changlin people, the armies of these countries can only be said to be a small number, not to mention any combat effectiveness. As for the Kangle people's own troops, they have been consumed to the point that only the old, weak, sick and disabled remain. I thought that if they did not wait for a decisive battle on the Giant Plain, if they waited for a decisive battle on the Giant Plain, they would be defeated and have no hope of victory."

It can't be said that he is the only one who thinks so, but in fact he is the only one who thinks so. Everyone else's eyes were full of suspicion, and they were now looking not at him, but at Ba Niu.

"One by one, three enemies, under what circumstances. If one person plays three people, ten people against 30 people, or even 100 people against 300 people, our chances of winning are very large, but if we play 100,000 against 300,000, and 150,000 against 450,000, then it can be said that there is almost no chance of winning. In skirmishes, you can have a certain advantage with your superior strength, but in large-scale battles, the odds are extremely small. Therefore, in the traditional battles of winning more with less, it is necessary to use tricks to win. This is true of the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Weishui. If you want to fight hard, you can only bring shame on yourself."

When Ba Niu repudiated his assertion, all the people breathed a sigh of relief, not because they did not have the courage to take such a risk, but because they knew that it was not an adventure, but a death. Another piece of bad news soon reached the Great Tent of the Chinese Army, and another part of the enemy's army had arrived, and there were more of them.

Now they must believe in the fact that the strength of the enemy, indeed, is three times that of theirs. This huge gap makes everyone feel suffocated, and they don't even see hope anymore. Moreover, the enemy did not divide his forces to defend the Giant's Plain, and all the armies were stationed here, surrounding them.

The first passed quickly, and neither side took further action. They know very well that the first person to move will be the first to show flaws. By the second and third months, the situation was completely different for both sides. The Kangle people are expeditionaries, desperate for a decisive battle with the enemy. The people of the Akiyama Peninsula are islanders and are accustomed to defending as an attack. So in Chu Yuxing's camp, impetuous emotions began to spread like a virus. Many generals demanded an attack on the people of the Akiyama Peninsula, even if it was a tentative one. But Chu Yuxing knew that Ba Niu was powerful, so he strictly controlled these people who were ready to move.

The crisis of Ba Niu came from food, they prepared food for 150,000 people for three years before the arrival of the Kangle people, but the addition of the displaced people made these reserves only one year. Although three months did not worry him too much, the remaining nine months were not very long.

"The enemy's stockpiles of grain will be used as Mingsha Mountain," Ba Niu said to the crowd at a military meeting, "We must find a way to cut off their supplies, so that we can have a chance to put them in trouble and turn the tide of the war." Who of you has the courage to do it?"

Everyone looked at each other, and everyone knew that this operation was very important, and no one dared to take on this heavy responsibility. Especially in this situation where there is no absolute certainty.

"Well, I'm the only one who went there!" Ba Niu looked at Tang Yulin with blazing eyes, and then said: "But if I go, who will guard the camp instead of me?"

This time, no one dared to talk to him. Liu Chuanzhi, Yao Jinbo, Sheng Shiyuan and so on, none of them have such talents, let alone others.

"The commander must not leave his position, and the general must not take risks himself." Sheng Shiyuan Yue said: "From what my subordinates can see, although the current situation is not favorable to us, it has not yet reached the time when the mountains and rivers are exhausted and we have to take risks. We have at least nine months to wait. It's not too late to wait seven or six months to talk about it. Moreover, the morale of the enemy is now high, and we have little chance of winning, so it is better to wait a few more months, and after they have slackened, we can use the best strategy."

Sure enough, I waited for another three months. Three months later, the two sides are still in a standoff. However, a small change has caught the attention of Ba Niu. The army of the Kangle people began to conduct topographical exploration on the Akiyama Peninsula. This change shows that although Chu Yuxing has the desire to trap Ba Niu to death, his eagerness to fight still has the upper hand, and he is looking for a suitable route to launch an attack, so that he can quickly solve this problem.

At the same time, Chang Lin people privately contacted Ba Niu. They still hope to form an alliance with the people of the Akiyama Peninsula and defeat the Kangle people together. In fact, the same is true of the Huxia people, the Xiling people, the Shuying people, and the Baiyu people. Their 50,000 people, although they nominally belong to the Kangle people, are in fact in a wait-and-see state, so that Ba Niu is equivalent to getting another help.

Of course, it was impossible for Chu Yuxing to be unaware, but he was not very worried about their betrayal. Without those 50,000 men, he still had 400,000 men, and with this absolute superiority, he could not have been defeated. He also didn't believe that these people would dare to turn against each other unless they wanted to kill themselves.

This entanglement lasted until eight months later, when the people of the Autumn Mountain Peninsula had to make a decision, but Ba Niu's decision made Chu Yuxing feel unbelievable, they suddenly disappeared, and then suddenly appeared in the Giant Plain.

"Aren't they reluctant to engage in such a large-scale battle with us? Why is it that now we are going to fight a decisive battle on the plains again?" Chu Yuxing looked at the generals under the tent and asked puzzledly.

This question was answered only by Ba Niu, and they soon saw the people of the Akiyama Peninsula.
