Ren Baqian's doubts soon knew the answer in the answer in front and his own guess.

That part of the Great Xia army got a batch of supplies in Rain City, enough for them to have half a month's food and grass, and then broke away from the supply line of Great Xia.

Therefore, they did not march very fast.

But they didn't care about it, because the army of the Northern Protectorate didn't have time to pursue them, and they only had to take the other cities in half a month.

To put it simply, they are alone.

What they relied on was that the Great Xia army was involved in the other armies in the north of Da Yao, and their grain and grass were completely their own after that, if they were stopped under a certain city and could not enter an inch, they could only rely on the supply lines of Great Xia to be able to take great risks to deliver the grain and grass to them, otherwise they would collapse after the grain and grass ran out.

However, they dared to let such a lonely army go deep into the north of Dayao, and they also relied on it.

It's that all the forces that Da Yao can use now have been contained.

In the interior of Dayao, there are only 200 to 1,000 guards in each town, which is completely unable to withstand this well-armed army.

Not to mention that there are still a large number of Jianghu warriors in this army.

Therefore, before the reinforcements from the Southern Protectorate arrived, Da Yao was helpless for the time being, which was only a lone army in the interior.

And what they have to do is very simple, which is destruction.

In addition to Da Yao's personal strength, Da Yao's foundation in all aspects of agriculture is already very weak, if they are allowed to destroy, and there are a large number of refugees who leave the original city, as long as the war lasts for a long time, Da Yao himself will be dragged down.

You must know that there are more than 10 million people in the ancient clan, most of them are in the 60,000 mountains, and there are 3 or 4 million people in the plains, and Yi Dayao can only barely maintain it at present. If the fields and livestock are destroyed in large quantities and a large number of refugees are generated, in this case, Da Yao's imperial court will have to empty the treasury if it wants to keep these refugees from starving to death.

Thinking about the fact that Da Yao couldn't even take out the food to recruit another 20,000 recruits before, and only after the war did he make up his mind to recruit another 20,000 new soldiers, you can know how empty Da Yao's treasury is.

As for whether these refugees live or die, don't forget that Da Yao's refugees are not the kind of refugees who don't have much combat effectiveness in ordinary countries, and Da Yao's civilians are quite combative.

At that time, Da Yao himself will be in chaos first.

Great Xia also saw this, first a wave of leveling pushed over, if it can break through in multiple ways, it is best, if it is stopped, then it will definitely encounter a large number of ancient troops. And the ancient army is all this, a large number of them are contained, and the remaining Great Xia army can be hired in the territory of Dayao.

Except for a few news from the front line, the strategic part of Great Xia was guessed by Ren Baqian himself.

He didn't know if he guessed accurately, but he knew that if it was him, he would do it, and if he did, it would cause considerable damage to Da Yao. You must know that the land in the north of Lancheng is half or even more of the land occupied by the ancient clan, and it is completely exposed to the tip of the opponent's knife at this time. If the production resources of this half of the land are destroyed and cannot be produced, the impact on Dayao will be huge.

However, there is one point where he and Da Xia's views are opposite.

It is that Daxia believes that as the war stalemates, the destroyed areas of Dayao cannot resume production, the weak ecological balance within Dayao is broken, and the more food is scarce, the more difficult the life inside Dayao will be, and the more problems will be highlighted, and the weaker and weaker they will be.

Just like a healthy person, when the immune system is destroyed, various diseases will appear in the body, and finally die.

On the contrary, Ren Baqian believes that with the maturity of a large number of high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes, pumpkins, potatoes, etc., although they cannot be used as food for the army, it is still no problem to ensure that the refugees do not starve to death, and as Da Yao's war potential is unearthed, it will become stronger and stronger.

Don't forget that now Da Yao's recruitment of recruits is in units of 20,000, and according to the proportion, Da Xia has to recruit 200,000.

And the Gu tribe can be said to be all soldiers, and more than 10 million Gu people can recruit millions of soldiers one after another, can Great Xia? Even if the population of Great Xia is ten times that of Great Yao, the training of recruits in Great Xia is much slower than that of Great Yao.

Da Yao only takes half a year, while Da Xia takes at least two years.

When these elite soldiers are exhausted, will Great Xia send peasants to fight?

Of course, there is a key problem in this, that is, high-yielding crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and pumpkins can fill the stomach and stabilize the interior of Da Yao, while several new crops are unknown to Da Xia.

And Da Yao has one of the biggest killer features, which is himself. As long as the ammunition is sufficient, as long as someone stops the opponent's master, Ren Baqian feels that he can break 10,000 with one.

Ren Baqian looked back at the ammunition boxes carried on the backs of several horned oxen, and continued to turn his head to write and draw in his notebook, which was full of analysis and speculation about the current war.

Ren Baqian felt that judging from the current situation and his own speculation, if the war continued like this, Daxia might cause considerable damage to Da Yao, but it would be difficult to completely defeat Da Yao.

Unless, there are other killer tricks that Great Xia hasn't used.

As for whether his guess is right or not, just look at the movements of the Great Xia Army on the side of Yusheng City.

If the other party is really what they imagined, then the next thing the other party has to do is to disperse and sweep in the field, and then merge to attack the city, and so on.

"What are you writing about?" said Lin Qiaole as he staggered on the back of the horned ox.

She had been dozing off like this for three days, but she had never fallen.

As for the reason, it was the ropes that tied her to the horned ox completely.

Ren Baqian didn't know how much of a role such a tightly bound master could play in the event of an attack, and he didn't think he had to untie the rope slowly, otherwise when she untied the rope, her bones would turn to ashes.

"Some speculation. Ren Baqian closed the notebook and said.

"Oh. Hearing him say this, Lin Qiaole didn't bother to ask.

"The sugar is gone!" Lin Qiaole said expectantly.

"Don't look for me when you have a toothache. Ren Baqian took out a pack of White Rabbit toffee from the backpack on the horned cow's back and threw it to Lin Qiaole, and the other party immediately smiled happily and his eyes narrowed.

The news came quickly, and the next day there was news from the front that the army that had broken through at Yusheng City in Great Xia had divided its troops, and it was divided into several ways and advanced in multiple directions.

Hearing this news, Ren Baqian immediately knew that the other party was probably as he had guessed, so he said the strategic part of his speculation about Great Xia's attack on the radio.

"How big does Lord Ren think this might be?" Hongwu's weak voice came from the radio.

"After all impossible causes are excluded, then there is only one truth. Ren Baqian pushed his sunglasses. "War is not only an effective means of killing and injuring the enemy's living forces, but also destroying the enemy's economy and production. ”

"And Great Xia is not only these 80,000 troops, don't forget that Great Xia also has 200,000 troops, some of which will converge with the Xia army outside Liao City, and the other part will continue to go deeper, which is also entirely possible. ”

"Ahem, what do you think?" asked Hongwu.

"I think it's possible. Li Qianqiu was silent for a while, and then said.

The old man also felt that there was a possibility. Hongwu said softly.

The empress was in Liao City, listening to the content on the radio, gently tapping the armrest of the seat with her fingers, and asked lightly, "What do you think?"

Hongwu and Li Qianqiu both frowned and thought hard.

"The minister has an idea. Ren Baqian said immediately.

"Say!" the empress nodded, although Ren Baqian couldn't see his movements at this time.

"In addition to the few cities that are currently under fire, there are sixteen towns north of Arashijo, which are defended by 4,600 soldiers belonging to the Central Protectorate.

What if these 4,600 sergeants were to be withdrawn? With the current situation in each town, it would be difficult to resist the attack of the Great Xia army, and they could only delay for some time. In that case, why not draw these troops out and join them together? It will cause them even more trouble. Otherwise, even if the 5,000 reinforcements from the Southern Protectorate arrived, it would be difficult to stop the more than 80,000 Great Xia troops and those Jianghu warriors. ”

"Then the area north of Lancheng has no defense capability at all, and the other side does not need to combine troops in one place, but only needs to disperse and attack. Hong Wu shook his head slightly, feeling that Ren Baqian's idea was still too simple.

"Militia regiments can be formed. Previously, the reasons that affected the army were ordnance and food, now ordnance has been solved. As for food, in wartime, to defend their homeland, every Gu tribe should contribute, and they can also get a steel knife as a weapon, which must be of interest to many people.

At that time, the wartime exploits will be recorded, and the rewards will be distributed uniformly after the war. ”

"Tell me more!" the empress was intrigued, and the word militia made her feel a little fresh.

"With a small number of elite soldiers as bones and civilians as flesh and blood, train in leisure time, and protect the family in wartime. ”
