Jerod Cinnechi has been in a bad mood lately.

The reason for the bad mood is because the war is not going well.

As a general of the heart department, everything he does is centered on Yelu Abaoji and the war, if he can't complete the task assigned by Yelu Abaoji and can't win the war, his life will completely lose its value, and sooner or later it will be replaced by a latecomer.

It is precisely because he is a general of the heart of the abdomen that Yelu Xian Nichi has always been very confident, even in the face of the general of the near division Yelu Enemy Rugu, he can maintain a posture of overlooking, even if there will be frequent conflicts with the other party. As a good warrior, it is not only necessary but also important to have the belief to look down on the crowd and defeat all enemies.

Yelu Xian Nirchi was a smart and brave warrior in the tribe who was pinned on by the old man, and he became the second warrior of the tribe before he became an adult, and became the object of worship of many people - the first warrior is, of course, the king of the grassland, Yelu Abaoji.

Over the years, Yelu Xiannechi has fought for the Khitan grassland, without a single defeat, and the most difficult battles can also be tied with the enemy, and he has an invincible reputation in the grassland. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been able to be deeply valued by Yelu Abao's machine and become a general in the heart of the abdomen.

But this war against the Tang Dynasty gave Yelu Xiannichi an unprecedented experience.

If possible, Jerod would rather never have such an experience for the rest of his life.

Because that's the feeling of frustration.

First of all, he failed to ambush the Wolf Tooth Army at Luoyankou with all his advantage.

For Jerushine Nechi, that battle was indeed a defeat. Although his army beheaded more than 60,000 elite cavalry of the Wolf Tooth Army, the price he paid was several times that of this, and he also escaped from Shangguan Allure and 5,000 Wolf Tooth Army elite cavalry, and did not achieve the goal of destroying the Wolf Tooth Army and capturing and killing Shangguan Allure.

Secondly, his attack on Yunzhou was frustrated, and he thought that he could take advantage of the victory to pursue and make up for the regret of the Battle of Luoyankou, but he did not expect that Yunzhou City was as strong as a barrier under the guard of the 30,000 foot soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Army, and the elite cavalry under his command could not be taken down at all. In order to avoid being surrounded by the later Tang Dynasty forbidden army, he was forced to retreat into the grassland.

For Jerushine Nechi, this was a failure that had never been seen before.

In order to save this defeat, when he led the Khitan Western Route Army and attacked the defense line of Tang Dynasty Yanzhou, he personally fought in each war.

The hard work paid off, he conquered Huai'an County, Wende County, Baiyang Town, and Longmen County all the way, advanced his troops to Huairong City, and launched a fierce attack on Juyong Pass in accordance with Yelu Abaoji's military order.

Before attacking Huairong City and Juyong Pass, Yelu Xiannechi was invincible, and the Tang army in various places could not resist his troops, which strengthened his confidence.

But when he arrived at Huairong City and Juyong Pass, his attack was blocked to death.

From this, Yelu Xiannichi discovered that his victories in Huai'an County, Baiyang Town and other places were not because of how strong he was, but because the Tang Dynasty gave them to him. The Tang Dynasty did not think about defending these places at all, but deliberately narrowed the defense line and focused on defending Huairong City and Juyong Pass.

After more than two months of offensive, Yelu Xiannichi failed to take Huairong City and Juyong Pass.

Although the Khitan army at the north entrance of Danzhou and the Yuguan of Pingzhou also failed to break into the strong defense line built by the Tang army, this did not comfort Yelu Xian Nichi.

He is a general in the heart of the heart, with one of the best elite troops in the entire Khitan, and he is also the most heroic and warlike general in the grassland except for Yelu Abaoji - at least he thinks so. In the case of the defeat in the Battle of Luoyankou, he was extremely painful when he could not prove himself with good military exploits.

However, Yelu Abaoji's latest military order is to let him defend the camp and not fight without a good opportunity to break the enemy.

This made Yelu Xian Nirchi even more aggrieved, and there was nowhere to vent his anger.

At this time, Yelu Xiannichi suddenly learned that he was sent to the grassland

The grain army was attacked by the Tang army's elite cavalry! The results of the operation for many days were in vain, not to mention that the soldiers did not bring back a single cattle or sheep, and the 50,000 grain army was completely lost!

This made him lose face and be furious.

The troops of the Tang Dynasty were all working hard to resist the onslaught of our army in Yanzhou, Danzhou, and Pingzhou, and were able to control the border passes without losing them, and they had already done their best, and they did not have the strength to take the initiative to attack at all! How could there be a fine cavalry now, detouring to the back of our army, and attacking the food raising team of our army? !

In the military tent, Yelu Xiannechi's eyes widened angrily, staring at the great monk who reported the military situation.

"Report to the General, this is indeed the case. According to my observations, the Tang army had 30,000 or 40,000 horsemen, all of whom were extremely fierce and abnormal, and it should not be said that the Tang Dynasty's border army could not be compared with it, and even the Tang Dynasty's forbidden army could rarely be compared! What was even more shocking was that the strength of their battle array was extremely powerful, and they had the power to overwhelm the mountains and seas.

A monk in the middle level of the Divine Envoy Realm said with a sullen face, "In less than two hours, the formation of the 50,000 army was completely chaotic, and it was divided and sorted out by the other party, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and they had no backhand power at all......."

Hearing the monk's description, Jerushone was almost pleased.

He said: "With such a powerful battle array, could it be that the Wolf Tooth Army is not here? Do you want to tell the general that it was Shangguan Allure who attacked you?!"

The monk glanced at Yelu Xian Nichi, whose face was distorted because of his anger, and said, "Perhaps, it is really Shangguan Allure......

The Tang army did not make a big fanfare, so he did not know who the main general of the other party was. He is not a battle general, and he can't recognize the difference between the battle formation of famous generals and the battle formation of military generals.

"Get out!" Jerushine couldn't hold back any longer, letting out a roar that bordered on hysteria.

Shangguan Chengcheng was the only famous general in the Tang Dynasty, and it was also the biggest threat to the Khitan army, in order to deal with this person and the wolf tooth army under her command, the Khitan planned day and night before launching the war, and finally paid the price of the party and Shatuo, before the wolf tooth army was defeated in Luoyankou.

And now, what did the other party say to Yelu Xian Nichi, the other party might be Shangguan Allure and the Wolf Tooth Army! Isn't this nonsense?

This is the greatest insult to the battle of Yelu Xianne's Chiluo Yankou, and he can't bear it anyway, let alone bear it!

Originally, there was no battle to kill Shangguan Allure and not destroy the Wolf Tooth Army, which was the pain in the hearts of Yelu Xian Nichi and Yelu Abaoji, but the battle of Luoyankou finally made the Wolf Tooth Army basically lose its combat power, although the result was not perfect, but it was not bad.

It's only been a few months now, how can the Wolf Tooth Army have a reason to resurrect so quickly?!

In a fit of anger, Jerushmanez could repel the monks who were responsible for guarding the food army, but he could not easily get rid of the entanglement of the next group.

These people are the chiefs of the grassland tribes of the non-Khitan eight tribes.

"General, the food raising team was attacked by the Tang Army, and all the cattle and sheep raised fell into the hands of the enemy, and now there is a shortage of food in our battalion, at most in half a month, the soldiers will have nothing to eat!"

A respected old chief said with a sad face, "A warrior without food will lose the strength and will to fight, you are the commander of the army, you should know what this means." Dare to ask the general, is there a solution to this problem?"

Jerushonechi was eager to drag the old chief out of his tent and behead him.

Although the other party said it politely, the meaning was clear and tough: without cattle and sheep food, their tribe would not be able to continue fighting in Huairong.

But Jerod could not do that, much less allow the old chief to do so.

If you want to prevent this from happening, just

Cattle and sheep must be raised for the army.

It's certainly not easy.

The army under the command of Yelu Xiannechi has captured most of the prefecture and occupied the territory including Huai'an County and Baiyang Town. But in these places, the Tang army did not leave a single person at all, nor did it leave a grain of grain, a single cow or sheep!

The Tang army carried out the tactics of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness.

This is not a new tactic, and it is not only used by the Tang people, in order to keep the invaders from being replenished with military rations, such tactics are actually very common, but they do not have the unique title of "strong wall and clear field".

In the place where food could not be raised in Yanzhou and the grassland could raise grain, it was basically swept aside by the Khitan cavalry.

Sending an army to raise food to the steppes farther afield, of course, was not feasible.

The Tang army, which attacked the Khitan army to raise grain, is still on the grassland, and it is even more difficult to ask Yelu Abaoji for cattle and sheep, if the other side can conjure up a lot of grain out of thin air, why order the army to raise grain on its own?

Jerushon Nechi only felt that his head was as big as a fight.

When he didn't give an answer at the first time, the tribal chiefs were gossiping and asking him for solutions to the problem, which disturbed him to calm down and think about the problem.

If he can't give an answer right away, the morale of the army will be weakened.

At that time, even if these tribal chieftains do not withdraw their troops without authorization, the army will be chaotic and will be stuck in a quagmire from which they will not be able to extricate themselves, giving the Tang army an opportunity to take advantage of.

If it was an ordinary Khitan general, he would definitely be on the verge of collapse at this moment. But as a general of the heart of the heart, Yelu Abaoji is one of the most trusted people, even though he cannot be compared with Yelu's enemy Lugu, who is known for his wisdom, Yelu Xiannichi still cannot be underestimated.

He quickly got his attention.

"No matter who the Tang army appears on the grassland, who is leading the army, what kind of elite army it is, now they have robbed our cattle and sheep, so that we can't survive, and the soldiers on the grassland have only one way to go, that is, to find them, kill them, and take back the food that belongs to us!"

Jerushonene said with red eyes.

It was the only way he could come up with it.

There really is no better strategy. After all, the cattle and sheep are there, and there are so many. Unless they can capture Huairong City or capture Juyong Pass within half a month, they can only return to pursue the Tang army.

There are also no glaring loopholes in this course of action.

If there is any problem, it is that for several months, the Khitan army has not been able to open up the situation, and the problem caused by breaking through the Tang army's defense line is a problem caused by the general trend of the war, a problem caused by the comparison of the military strength of the Khitan and the Tang Dynasty, not a personal problem of his Yelu Xian Nichi.

"This Tang army is extremely strong, 50,000 soldiers can't withstand a battle, even if the general finds them, how can he guarantee that he will be able to win the battle?" asked the respected old chieftain without hesitation.

What he meant by this was actually that the army of the non-Khitan Eight Divisions was no match for this elite Tang army at all—in the absence of an absolute superiority in the number of warriors—if Yelu Xian Nechi did not want to mobilize 200,000 troops to leave Huairong and give up the deterrence of the Huairong Tang army, then he must send his own descendant army to solve this problem for the grassland tribal army.

Jerodhyanechi understood this very well.

He snorted coldly and said proudly: "The Wolf Tooth Army, known as the sharpest in the Tang Dynasty, is destroyed by me at Luoyankou, no matter how brave this Tang Army is, can it be stronger than the Wolf Tooth Army? Besides, they only have 30,000 or 40,000 people! Needless to say, I will let the heart of the belly go out and will definitely be able to bring back cattle and sheep military rations for you!"

Yelu Xiannichi needed to stabilize the morale of the army.
