The frost and snow all over the mountains, the low temperature at night froze the smoke and bloody gas that filled the air, and the day's war had fallen silent.

Under the light snow, countless corpses, blood, and swords, guns, and halberds scattered all over the place formed a picture of red and white, blood and fire.

The flames were dying under the wind and snow, emitting wisps of black smoke......

In the camps of the Qi army and the Turks, occasionally there would be a horse with a low waist and disappeared into the twilight, and the scouts of the Qi army were expelling the Turkic horses, and then a sergeant came out to clean up the battlefield.

The Turks were allowed to ignore the corpses of their companions, but there was no such practice among the Qi army. In the Turkic camp in the distance, the white wolf-headed banner still stands, as if it is roaring fiercely at the Qi army.

After five days of repeated attacks, Gao Baoning finally temporarily interrupted the idea of taking down the Turks in one go, and let the army rest for a while, and then make a plan after reorganization.

However, instead of slackening, the defensive strength of the coalition forces on the side of the Zhenbei Governor's Mansion became a little tighter. Gao Baoning admits that he is not a mediocre hand, and in five days, Gao Baoning and Gao Yanzong and Yang Su launched attacks from three directions, and the offensive was as continuous as an angry wave, but every wave of offensive was blocked by Ashina's photograph.

He unified the interior and began to implement military autocracy, and all the nobles had to be at his disposal, and the slaves and private armies of Anluo and the nobles were all drawn out by him and formed into the main fist army, which was far superior to those vassal tribes. If it weren't for the fact that the Qi army camp was also full of elites, with abundant military strength, and no food and grass, I am afraid that I would have found an opportunity to tear open the rift and kill a bloody road.

It is also for this reason that even if the attack has been stopped, even if the Qi army still has a great advantage, the commanders of the Qi army do not dare to relax in the slightest, the picture is a ferocious wolf, when he falls into a desperate situation, no one knows how much energy he can burst out. It was also because of the desperate blocking of the photograph, the Qi army, which was originally like a bamboo, suddenly fell into a state of stagnation, unable to move forward an inch, and at this time fell into a tense pale atmosphere.

"We are strong, what is there to be afraid of? With the fighting power of the Turks, can more than 20,000 of the 100,000 people fight? Take someone to fill in? What if there was another army of horses to save them, would they really be able to tear through our siege?! We are trapped for a long time, and we are trapped to death, and without food, how long can they hold on? ”

"Take it for granted, Ashina has always been bold and careful, since he insists on defending, he will not be prepared to make a move. Whether they have food left over or not, no one knows, everything is just speculation at the moment, and I think it's quite unlikely...... If we misestimate the situation, maybe he will seize the opportunity and fight back again. ”

“…… That's right. We are so powerful that the Turks, instead of showing defeat, are getting stronger and stronger, and I don't know what kind of way they are. Could it be that there is a way to fight a way out of our siege? What are the reinforcements for the pictures, etc.? ”

"His younger brother, Ashina Luo Hou. It is said that he is also capable, not much worse than taking pictures! ”

"So conceited? Isn't he afraid that we will swallow this army first? ”

"I'm afraid he is not conceited, but he has a plan, originally we besieged him with a slight advantage, and when reinforcements came, we had to disperse a part of our military strength to fight reinforcements, so that the forces besieging him were scattered, and he took the opportunity to escape!"

The generals talked a lot, first about the situation in front of them, and then the topic turned to the reinforcements of the Turks, during which it was difficult to make a decision. Everyone's eyes naturally turned to Gao Baoning, the governor of Zhenbei, he was the person with the most authority among all the people present, with how Gao Yanzong and Yang Su and others calculated, such an important decision still required him to make the final decision!

Gao Baoning pursed his lips tightly, the firelight flickered, illuminating his face uncertainly, and the burly shadow stretched long, without saying a word for a long time. In the end, he said: "If it drags on, the outcome is still unpredictable, and it seems that some despicable means will have to be used." Someone—" The guards opened the curtain and stepped in from the outside, and Gao Baoning said to him: "Tell the other side, let them find an opportunity to do it themselves......

"In the next few days, we will not attack as usual, just wait patiently."

Gao Yanzong and Yang Su looked at each other, and gradually understood what kind of backhand Gao Baoning had done over there, but no one blamed anything, war was to do everything, although this method was not right, but it was a good strategy.

……

……

"The Qi people haven't moved for three days, which is a bit unusual."

Photo taken by Ashina, this Turkic nobleman with some potential for heroism, wearing armor and pressing a knife, strode around the camp. Behind him, he was followed by several Turkic warriors with a fierce temperament.

The camp occupied by the Turks today is not very large. It's actually just a great hunting ground, but it's surrounded by mountains and a little bit of a good place to defend it. His henchmen and horses are on the left and right, always on the alert for a possible riot.

His army of soldiers and horses can still hold on to the surface, but in fact, the mountains and rivers are almost exhausted, and now he has ordered people to secretly slaughter a batch of war horses. There is a shortage of materials and a shortage of food, but because of the short-term centralization of power and the cohesion of centripetal force, all the grain, cattle and sheep, and war horses are deliberately taken care of and distributed in a unified manner.

If they were taught the truth, they would riot immediately. However, the photo also has a countermeasure, the food of the Turks is naturally given priority, and they are the main force on which they depend, and as for the other vassal tribes, they can neither refuse to give them food, nor teach them to be full. They will complain if they have nothing to eat, and when they are full, they will be messy and difficult to control. The photograph is well versed in the criteria of strong stems and weak branches.

Anyway, he just looks at these vassal tribes as cannon fodder, hanging them is easier to control than feeding them, and the photo will naturally not put this distinction on the surface, nor will he deliberately treat these military horses who have served lightly, but it is impossible to hold them in his hand and soothe and accept them.

On the one hand, he used all kinds of heads to break up the formation of soldiers and horses to prevent them from causing trouble, and on the other hand, he reduced the power of the leaders to prevent that if something happened, these guys would become knives stabbed in the back, and it was not necessary to pull the flag immediately and turn it around.

The enemy came like a dark cloud, and it was only natural that the Lord would patrol the camp at night. In successive battles, the soldiers always have worries in their hearts, especially when this kind of unhappiness may arise, and it is necessary for him to come forward to appease and appease people's hearts.

In fact, it is not difficult, it is nothing more than stopping from time to time to ask for warmth, to see how their food is, whether the felt tent is warm or not, and whether anyone deliberately provokes trouble and makes noise.

Don't look at it as simple, it's a tedious thing, it also requires care, it requires a lot of energy and patience, and it needs to be taken care of everywhere.

Just thinking that the military law is strict, you can lead the army well, and the whole army returns to the heart when talking and laughing, pointing to all the subordinates, which can only show that this general is a rookie at all and has no experience in actually leading troops.

Besides, this army was originally pieced together, the Turks, the Tiele people, the Xi people, the Murwei people, everything, naturally there is a layer of separation, not as easy to lead as the team on the Qi side, no matter how careful you are, it is not too careful.

This barracks is really not big, and in the blink of an eye most of the patrols are made, many people are ready to rest, around the fire to bake the fire, in the distance in the dark night there are three or three sentry still patrolling, although the cold hands and feet are cold, but still dare not leave.

Finally, there is still a way to hold on for a long time.

The photographer stood on his feet and looked back left and right: "Everything is still business as usual, and that's it for tonight." Strengthen your precautions, be careful of the movements of the people, and let the battalion commanders come to me early tomorrow morning. I have something to explain. ”

The leaders around him didn't have anything to say, and they were all secretly relieved, just hoping that the fierce god would leave quickly, and then go back to the tent to sleep well, just because of him, this night was very worrying.

Just as he was about to leave, a hundred paces away, there were more than a dozen figures lurking there. Everyone was low in waist and holding sharp blades, and when they saw that the picture was about to leave in the other direction, they couldn't bear it anymore, and a ghost flashed out!
