However, even though he knew that the Western Region was already under Bingzhou's control and there was a possibility of support, Yan Yan did not change his strategic plan.

The peoples of the grasslands and deserts are all the same. They can go with the wind, but not against it.

Therefore, he never expected that Wusun and Dayuan could stop Dayuezhi.

When the moon is full in June, it will be the day of the general attack, and this will not be changed because of anything.

Not to mention the factors outside the Western Region plan.

King Xiutu was completely unaware of all this and kept urging Yanqing of Jiuquan to send people over.

They attacked Cangsong County again and again, but were always just a little short of taking it, which made King Xiutu reluctant to retreat.

If they cannot completely wipe out the Yulin Guards, then why did they come out of the city?

"King Xiutu has forgotten their original intention!" Yan Qing still ignored King Xiutu's orders.

King Xiutu's original intention was to defend Wuwei and drive Bingzhou away.

Now, the Yulin Guards have retreated to Cangsong County. The crisis in Wuwei has been resolved, and there is no need to chase them out anymore.

But after all, it was not a royal court, and Yan Qing could not stop King Xiutu, so he could only ignore King Xiutu's orders.

However, Yan Qing still gave the necessary reminders.

However, his reminder first reached Dugu Ming's hands and never reached King Xiutu.

"There are still smart people." In Wuwei City, Dugu Ming, who stayed behind in the base camp, crushed the reminder sent by Yan Qing into pieces.

As for reminding King Xiutu?

He wished he could add more fuel to the fire.

But Dugu Ming was also a little confused. The Yulin Guards could have counterattacked long ago, so what were they waiting for?

In the temporary main tent of Cangsong County, Yan Yan looked at the battle reports collected from various places with an indifferent expression. A huge sand table was also placed in the temporary tent.

The sand table is so large that it includes the entire Qilian Mountains and the entire Alxa Plateau.

On the sand table, the locations of the Bingzhou armies and the armies of the Xiongnu and Dayuezhi were marked.

"So terrible!"

The layout of the sandbox is so detailed.

Judging from the sand table, the entire Xiongnu and Dayuezhi were surrounded by the Bingzhou army.

"The Xiongnu and Dayuezhi are finished!" Yang Duanhe was a little dazed.

These were hundreds of thousands of troops from the Xiongnu and Dayuezhi, and they were all surrounded.

And almost all of them are using more people against fewer people, with military forces restraining each other.

Yang Duanhe is now accustomed to looking at the moon every night.

The crescent moon gradually became fuller, and the countdown to the general offensive began.

"Even if we send a message to the Xiongnu and Dayuezhi now and tell them Bingzhou's plan, it will be too late for them to retreat!"

Yang Duanhe sighed.

This kind of grand coordination is so magnificent.

Even if you know the other party's plan, you just can't avoid it or hide from it. It's a completely unsolvable way of using your power to overwhelm the other party.

Bingzhou has predicted all the movements of the Xiongnu and Dayuezhi.

This was equivalent to forcing the Xiongnu and Dayuezhi into the war situation they had already planned.

“I learned this from the wolves on the grassland.” Yan Yan said with a smile.

"In winter, wolves will drive gazelles into deep snowfields and canyons where they cannot jump. Even if the gazelles know this, they can only be driven into the traps set by the wolves."

Yang Duanhe nodded slightly. He knew about the cooperation of wolves. But he didn't expect Bingzhou to imitate wolves and drive the Xiongnu and Dayuezhi like yellow sheep.

"How are the soldiers? What are they doing?" Yan Yan turned and looked at Dian Qing.

"It's so boring. The Shesheng Battalion just hunts wild ducks, wild geese, etc. at the wild ferry every day to supplement their meals. The Zhonglei Battalion just plays with the flagpole whenever they have time. As for the Huben Battalion and the Infantry Battalion, they attack each other and play wrestling..." Dian Qing said helplessly.

"Are there no soldiers complaining? Do you want to go out and attack the enemy?" Yan Yan asked curiously.

"Of course there are. The commanders and supervisors of each army are almost unable to bear it. Every day, soldiers go to ask them when the king will order a counterattack." Dian Qing said solemnly.

"Then send a message to the Yue Cavalry and Hu Cavalry Camps, and ask Dugu Ming to open the gate of Wuwei and occupy Wuwei City!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

The pocket has been opened and King Xiutu has fallen into the trap. Now is the time to close it.

June, full moon.

At three o'clock in the morning, the sky was just getting light, but smoke was already rising from the entire Cangsong County Yulinwei camp. The cooks were particularly generous and added a lot of beef, mutton and vegetables to the soldiers' meals.

In each tent, the soldiers were all dressed neatly and were conducting the final inspection and cleaning of their weapons.

The commander of the central army had summoned all the officers and soldiers to a meeting last night. They cooked at three o'clock in the morning and left the camp at five o'clock.

The soldiers who received the combat order were also ecstatic. After serving in the army for so long, this was the first time for them to fight in such a frustrating battle.

It’s not that they can’t win, but that the king doesn’t allow it.

Now, the king finally allowed them to show their talents.

King Xiutu had no idea that the Yulin Guards were already prepared, and he continued to follow his habit of the past month, fighting whenever he had the chance.

Therefore, when the Yulin Guards had breakfast early and moved out of the camp, King Xiutu's army was just starting to cook.

"Shesheng Camp, attack beyond visual range!" Yan Yan stood under the banner of the central army, commanding the captains of each camp of the Yulin Guard.

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~"

The rain of arrows covered the camp of King Xiutu's army with their backs to the rising sun. This time they did not need to follow the army, but had already arrived at the position, covering the entire camp of King Xiutu from a high position.

In addition to the rain of arrows, huge boulders were also thrown out by the catapults.

The Shesheng Camp not only has powerful bows and crossbows, but also the most destructive catapults on the ancient battlefield.

Arrows rained down from the sky and boulders rolled down into King Xiutu’s camp.

In an instant, the entire camp of King Xiutu was in chaos.

They were completely stunned and never thought that the Yulin Guards would dare to fight back!
"I'm waiting for the full moon, what are you waiting for?"

Looking at King Xiutu's military flag that was broken by the precise attack of the catapult, Yan Yan sneered.

After the rain of arrows, the chariots began to wreak havoc. Under the cover of the chariots and white tigers, the Huben Camp also launched a fierce attack on the enemy camp at a rapid speed.

Block? What can I use to block it?
King Xiutu never thought that the Yulin Guards would counterattack, so except for the defensive fortifications of a few feet in front of the camp, the entire army had no defensive facilities at all.

"Retreat!" King Xiutu was stunned.

He had no idea how the Shesheng Battalion had managed to accurately strike their camp from outside their range.

They have scouts and small troops stationed in the areas where bows and crossbows can reach.

But the rain of arrows fell so accurately, as did the boulders thrown out.

The rolling stones were falling from the sky, and this was the biggest blow to morale.

A boulder as big as a millstone crashed into the camp. It was unstoppable by human power, and large holes were created on the ground.

Therefore, King Xiutu could only retreat his army and avoid the attack of the Yulin Guards before the central army became chaotic.
