Chapter Eighty-Nine: Counterattack (Coming to the End)

While Xuan Qi regretted that he couldn't intercept Hua Yingchun, Hua Yingchun also had palpitations. The flowers who jumped off the city wall welcomed spring, and quickly retreated into the camp with the army.

Hua Yingchun didn't expect the Central Plains heroes to appear here, and it seemed that they were coming specifically for themselves. Fortunately, he reacted very quickly and jumped off the city wall first, otherwise it would be really unimaginable, maybe he has been besieged to death by the heroes at this moment. Hua Yingchun didn't expect that if he didn't flee first, but tried his best to block the heroes and the Tamir defenders with the help of his own army, it was not impossible to achieve the final victory with the disparity in strength.

In fact, Hua Yingchun didn't know about the arrival of the Central Plains heroes, but Xuan Qi specially asked Chu Lin to invite him in order to deal with the disciples of the Three Thousand Ashina Family. Because the threat of these 3,000 people is really great, once Ju Yanhai can't resist it, it won't be long before the entire Celestial Empire will face the attack of the old Mao people, and the Celestial Empire, which is cultivating and recuperating, is really unwilling, and there is no way to experience a big war again in a short period of time.

Xuan Qi knew that with the strength of Tamir City, it was impossible to threaten Hua Yingchun's army, so he didn't really want to rush out of the city for a while and fight to the death with Hua Yingchun. At this moment, Hua Yingchun began to worry about whether he could withstand the attack of Xuan Qi and the Central Plains Heroes, and felt entangled in whether he wanted to avoid the edge for the time being. After thinking about it for a long time, Hua Yingchun still became the cautious person again, and disappeared into the Hangai Mountains with the army overnight.

Xuan Qi didn't expect Hua Yingchun to retreat with the army, so he had to send scouts to keep an eye on the movements of Hua Yingchun's army and see the specific movements of Hua Yingchun's next move. And Hua Yingchun led the army and retreated until Hala and Lin stopped, but there was no movement, which made Xuan Qiyi puzzled for a while.

Less than a month before the beginning of winter, Eligo intercepted the old Maoren's army of grain on the bank of the Yenisei River, and all the grain and grass of hundreds of thousands of troops for the winter were burned. After the news came back, the morale of Juyanhai's army was greatly boosted, but Ivanov's army was like a thunderbolt from the sky, the army's morale was weakened, and discussions began one after another.

Seeing that only a few small towns had been taken, and the whole offensive had not made much progress, and it was impossible for the army to attack again under the discouragement of this army, Ivanov ordered the whole army to begin to retreat, because the biggest problem in front of him was how to solve the problem of winter food and grass.

Hua Yingchun received Ivanov's order, although he was very reluctant to withdraw from Hara and Lin, which he had won with great difficulty, but he also knew that once he was alone and besieged by the Xuanqi army from all sides, he was afraid that he would not be far from the annihilation of the entire army.

Ivanov urged Queen Elena to send grain and grass again, and on the other hand, he also sent an army of 150,000 to meet the grain army. And this decision gave Ju Yanhai's army an opportunity. After thinking about it, Xuan Qi finally decided to teach Ivanov's army a harsh lesson before winter.

After giving an order to Yiligo to continue to harass the old Maoren's large army and try his best to delay the arrival of grain and grass, Xuan Qi ordered the Juyanhai army stationed in various places to draw half of its strength and launch a counterattack with all its might.

Although these numbers are not many, they are the army of Juyanhai who has been following Xuan Qi for a long time and has been fighting for many years, keeping in mind that Xuan Qi will fight if he can fight, and run away if he can't fight, and the combat method of attacking and harassing and minimizing frontal collisions has made the old Mao army fall into boundless unrest.

The old Maoren, who had no intention of fighting because of the grain and grass crisis, and had almost no Gaocheng danger to stop the attack of Juyanhai's army, was soon defeated and retreated, and the army was defeated. Ivanov, who had no choice but to order the whole army to retreat to the court of the Huns, shrink the defense, which slightly stopped the attack of the Juyanhai army. And with the arrival of winter, both sides had to temporarily stop fighting.

On the shores of the icy and snowy Lake Khuvsgul, an army of more than 200,000 people transporting grain is struggling to move forward in the ice and snow. In two days at most, the army will enter Mulun City, which can be regarded as basically completing the escort of grain and grass. After nightfall, the army of grain was stationed on the shores of Lake Khuvsgul.

In the middle of the night, the snow was still falling, and except for a few sentry, most of the old soldiers were asleep. Iligo has been frozen in the snow for more than an hour, even his body is a little numb, seeing that the old Mao soldier camp has finally fallen into complete immersion, Iligo waved his hand, and the 30,000 army began to slowly approach the old Mao soldier camp.

A few old soldiers were scolding and scolding across the snow in front of the camp, but suddenly a few black shadows burst out of the snow, and a few old soldiers who didn't have time to shout were held down tightly, and the sharp dagger had already slashed through the throat, and the blood that spurted out instantly stained the snow red.

Barrels of oil were poured on the grain and grass carts, and the raging flames and shouts of killing alarmed the entire battalion, and the 200,000 troops fought desperately to extinguish the flames while besieging and killing Eligo's 30,000 troops. Every soldier in Juyanhai is well aware of the impact of this battle on the entire battle situation, and he also knows that behind his back, millions of clansmen are watching him.

In order to prevent the fire from being extinguished, 30,000 legions surrounded the grain cart and desperately blocked the attack of the old Mao soldiers. The disadvantage in numbers soon made Ju Yanhai's soldiers a little unable to support it, and the snow water melted by the flames turned into bright red blood water, splashing everywhere.

Illigo couldn't help but laugh wildly as he watched the countless grains and grasses turn to ashes under the raging flames, and fell heavily with a wound on his body.

Xuan Qi couldn't help but burst into tears when he received the news of the annihilation of Iligo's army. This was not Xuan Qi's order, but a decision made by Eligo himself. For the sake of millions of people in Juyanhai, Yiligo chose to burn the jade and stone, giving the old Mao army a fatal blow.

Xuan Qi knew that he couldn't hesitate any longer, because hesitation would be sorry for the 30,000 brothers who gave their lives, and it would also disappoint the people of Juyanhai, who were already angry. The men of Ju Yanhai, who can almost afford to hold bows and arrows, have left their warm homes in winter, for the blood feud of 30,000 brothers, and for the families behind them to live and work in peace and contentment, no longer running around for war and having no fixed place.

Xuan Qi couldn't stop this million people who spontaneously went on an expedition, and what Xuan Qi could do now was to take his soldiers and rush to the front as much as possible to minimize the casualties of some people.
