When the drawing of lots was over, Lin Xiu drew the note he left behind, and looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, feeling melancholy.

Of course, he knew that staying was the best choice, and it was also a great achievement to appease Liang Xiao and receive Guan Long in advance.

The Hetao area and the Guanlong area are the most important horse farms in the future Great Zhou.

But even he and the literati could not resist the temptation to drink Ma Hanhai.

In order to go out with Liang Xiao, he even gave up the opportunity to contact the daughter of the Higashino clan.

Liang Xiao appeased a few times, and the four thousand defenders who originally belonged to Yanzhou were relieved to stay, and watched the soldiers continue to march north with Liang Xiao.

Wang Pojun also went out with Liang Xiao, and Lin Xiu led his own 4,000 men and 6,000 cavalry from Guanlong, and quickly rushed to Guanlong.

Yanzhou, Qin Baili's home.

Higashino Qingyue was listening to Qin Baili playing the piano.

After Qin Baili's song, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Dongye Qingyue had no intention of going back.

"Miss Qingyue, you are both talented and beautiful, you should look at young talents who are better than me, such as the Marquis of Lanling, why bother?"

Higashino Qingyue replied: "A man who is better than Brother Qin naturally has a better match for a girl than me." Being recognized by the Marquis of Lanling also shows that Brother Qin is a good person who worries about the country and the people, why can't I pursue such a Langjun. ”

Qin Baili fell silent.

He was obviously from the grassroots, and Liang Xiao, who was close to him, never thought that one day he would chase after him.

The girl in front of him is knowledgeable, has a bold personality, and her eyes are flowing, which always touches his heartstrings.

Pity......

The junction of the steppe and the desert.

The morale of the Beihu army was low.

At this moment, everyone is like an arrow, and the soldiers have no will to fight, and they will have no will to fight.

"That Yan Yuntie is really powerful, and the Great Zhou Wuwei also chased after him on horseback, our army can't be anyone's opponent at all!"

"Don't you know, at that time, 100,000 iron cavalry couldn't take a single Liang family army...... Well, it's Da Zhou Wuwei! ”

Hu Yanche inspected the army, and when he heard the discussion of the soldiers, his face was blue and he didn't say a word.

Now that they are lost dogs, it would be good to be able to escape, and if the military law dealt with the soldiers at this time, it would only be counterproductive.

After all, even he and Emperor Feng took the lead in escaping, how could they dare to expect other soldiers to resist Liang Xiao.

In the battle on the banks of the Tianjiang River, Liang Xiao had already broken the backbone of the Beihu people and made all the Beihu people fearless.

"Only by returning to the desert and recuperating can he have a chance to make a comeback!"

This is the only remaining thought of Hu Yanche.

But Liang Xiao didn't intend to let them go, and led the troops to chase and kill them every day.

In just three days, less than 20,000 of the 30,000 Beihu cavalry remained.

"Hu Yanche, if this continues, Liang Xiao will still have a sufficient supply of horse meat, and we can only eat and sleep in the open, so we have to wait for death!"

The Wind Emperor finally expressed his concern.

Hu Yanche glanced at him angrily.

"Does Your Majesty think that our army still has the strength to fight?"

Emperor Feng still did not give up, and sighed: "Can you send an envoy to sue for peace, and from now on you will be called a minister?" ”

"Your Majesty, do you still want to take the lead in being Liang Xiao's subordinate prisoner! Don't forget, Liang Xun's head is still hanging in the royal court! Hu Yanche finally glared at each other.

The Wind Emperor was speechless, even if he was angry, he could only forbear.

In that battle, in fact, he was anxious for quick success and quick profit, and was confused by Liang Xiao, and even with Hu Yanche and other Beihu generals, he was also eager to attack Yanzhou.

If you fight steadily, even if you can't take Yanzhou directly, it won't be as miserable as it is today.

There is no chance anymore!

The Great Zhou army of 50,000 people and less than 30,000 cavalry almost wiped out the entire army of 200,000 Beihu people.

At this moment, the morale of the Great Zhou army is bound to be like a rainbow, which can be seen from the strength of their pursuit of their own side.

The remaining 30,000 cavalry here would know that it would be good to retreat early.

Liang Xiao was able to capture their war horses every day, and the dead horse meat alone was enough for the daily consumption of the army.

Both sides also needed a lot of wagons to carry grain and grass, especially forage for war horses.

If there is no forage prepared in advance, if you can't find an area with abundant water and grass and no freezing, feed the war horses, and the consequences can be imagined.

"Liang Xiao obviously also knows the stakes, and it seems that he doesn't want the soldiers to suffer too many casualties, so he didn't let the cavalry attack in a hurry, so as not to break away from the logistics, so that our army will have a chance to take advantage of it, and the fish will die and the net will be broken, and they will all die! Otherwise, he will directly supervise the onslaught of the army at any cost and plunder the fodder of our army, and our army is only afraid of ......"

Military advisor Yuan Tian analyzed Liang Xiao's motives, and his face was as pale.

The generals looked at each other, and their hearts were like ashes.

What despair!

The logistics team of tens of thousands of people is very long, and it is indeed possible to be outflanked and disturbed by cavalry.

The enemy has been chasing and killing his own side, and the reason why he did not launch a large-scale attack immediately was that he was worried that there would be too many casualties......

But Liang Xiao's way of chasing them is equivalent to taking a knife and slowly cutting the flesh from them, sooner or later!

The Wind Emperor could only use silence to hide the horror in his heart.

Yuan Tian's analysis made him suddenly realize.

His own army is simply a livestock raised by Liang Xiao!

If Liang Xiao annihilated 30,000 people at one time, he and Hu Yanche, the powerful people of Beihu, would have a great chance of escaping with their lives, and the worst result would be that they would only be spared and the entire army would be wiped out.

And Liang Xiao should also take into account that the Beihu army killed all the live horses that could not be taken away, and the fish were dead and the net was broken, and there were too many dead horses captured at one time, and they were not suitable for long-distance transportation, but it was not conducive to raising the war with war......

"This son is so vicious!!"

A generation of overlords, the king of the grassland, is crying in despair at the moment, and he is extremely aggrieved.

It is impossible for them to abandon the army, in that case, it will be difficult for the whole army to surrender and let the Great Zhou collect another 10,000 or 20,000 prisoners.

The value of the captive is greater than the head!

They can only gamble, bet that the bad weather in the desert will prevent Liang Xiao from continuing to pursue, and then they can also bring one or two thousand people back to the desert to maintain their rule.

Without an army, they would have been wiped out and would have died in civil strife......

Infinite!

However, Liang Xiao used war to feed the war so much, exhausting the Beihu army, and when the remnants of Beihu were no longer enough to pose a threat to the logistics troops of the Great Zhou, it was the moment for him to attack in an all-out way!

The sound of trumpets and shouts of killing in the distance woke up the mournful Beihu monarchs and ministers.

"Your Majesty! Liang Xiao led the troops to chase after him again!! ”

The Wind Emperor was full of liver and gall, and immediately got on the horse.

The Beihu cavalry began to flee thousands of miles again.

The Great Zhou army, which had just been well-fed, under the command of Liang Xiao, came over again!

Four thousand Guan Long soldiers, who went out with Liang Xiao every day, understood Liang Xiao's good intentions more and more, and were very respectful.

The Great Zhou army used the dead horses on the battlefield and some of the materials abandoned by the enemy, and the logistical pressure was greatly reduced, and they could stay longer in the desert!

"Those fools, how dare they think of continuing to support the army and oppose returning to the imperial court, purely to bring about their own destruction......"

The four thousand Guan Long soldiers scolded Guan Long's group of military nobles who were unwilling to return to the imperial court at this moment.

Now they were just praying that the lord sent by Liang Xiao would be able to talk well with the generalissimo after he arrived in Guanlong.
