Chapter 572 The army goes north
With the elimination of the war in the Central Plains, Hengshan finally had enough energy and material resources to lean towards the Western Regions.

At this time, Hou Mingfeng's army stronghold was established in the former capital of the Yizi Kingdom. Now the Yizi Kingdom has been destroyed by Hengshan, tens of thousands of troops gathered here as a bridgehead to attack the West Golden Wolf Kingdom.

But at this time, the situation of the army is very bad.The Xijin werewolves completely abandoned a large area of ​​southern territory and drove millions of people northward, turning the south into a piece of scorched earth.Even though the Hengshan army broke into the territory for hundreds of miles, there were still no people, let alone supplies.The lack of supplies from the enemy made the army's logistics and food road very long, and it was attacked by Xijin werewolves from time to time, causing considerable losses.

When the cavalry gathered to go north, the Xijin werewolves retreated immediately, instead of confronting the army head-on, they just kept dividing and harassing the cavalry, which made it difficult for the cavalry to find the main force of the enemy after they went north.If the troops are divided, the enemy army will gather a large number of soldiers and horses to encircle and wipe out. If you don't pay attention, the whole army may be wiped out.

As for the militia and the retinue, after looting all over the south, they had nothing to gain.There is little interest in conquering and suppressing the Western Golden Wolf, and it is only with the presence of a large army that they have the courage to carry out a large-scale enclosure in the southern area of ​​​​the Western Golden Wolf.After the two countries negotiated with Hengshan, the subordinate soldiers withdrew from the battlefield, waiting for the redemption of their masters.

As the Hengshan Army changed from an offensive posture to a defensive posture.The Western Golden Werewolf began to go south continuously, harassing the countries in the Western Regions and the garrison of the militia.The Hengshan army was exhausted, but they were still unable to stop the opponent's sneak attack.Today, the countries in the Western Regions have complained a lot, secretly accusing Hengshan of bringing disasters to the Western Regions.The militia gradually became suspicious of Hengshan's ability to defeat the Xijin werewolf, and chose to leave one after another.

Under such internal and external troubles, Hou Mingfeng had no choice but to shrink his troops and stick to the North Western Region, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

Finally, in late October, Hou Mingfeng received a letter from Hengshan.Only then did I realize that the reinforcements sent by my lord turned out to be golden werewolves.However, there are only [-] soldiers and horses, how can the overall situation be reversed?

After reading the master's detailed strategy, Hou Mingfeng finally heaved a sigh of relief, his face regained his previous self-confidence.

Counting the time, the Golden Wolf should have passed through the [-]-mile desert and entered the eastern grassland of West Golden Wolf.

Hou Mingfeng changed his previous conservative stance, and immediately ordered the army to prepare to go north.Today, 20 people have gathered in the country of Yizi, putting the entire Western Regions under the eyes of the Western Golden Werewolves.If the Western Gold werewolf went south at this time, I am afraid that the countries in the Western Regions will face annihilation.

The countries also saw this, and sent people to beg Hou Mingfeng to send troops to protect his country.But these requests were all rejected by him.To put it bluntly, if you want to keep your country, you should try to hold on until the army returns victorious, otherwise, take care of yourself.

Ignoring these countries, Hou Mingfeng led the army and marched mightily to the north, aiming at Yekesha City, the original capital of the Xijin werewolves.

Faced with the Hengshan Army's reckless northward march, two choices immediately appeared in front of Sadhan, whether to continue to retreat and harass, or to gather a large army to annihilate the Hengshan Army that has penetrated into the grassland?
Although Sade ordered to give up a large area of ​​territory and cities, he effectively prevented the Hengshan Army from attacking.But the disadvantages of doing so are very serious.After all, the Xijin werewolves have been accustomed to the sedentary habit for hundreds of years, and suddenly transformed into a nomadic state, which made many people feel very uncomfortable and dissatisfied.Coupled with the abandonment of continuous production, the material consumption of the Xijin Werewolf was far greater than the output. If this stalemate continues, the only one who can't bear it in the end can only be himself.

It was under tremendous pressure that Sade persuaded most of the important ministers to agree to his changes, turning large areas of the southern territory into scorched earth.Only maintain a settled state in the north, barely providing the required supplies for the army.

Now that Hengshan is going north, the intention is very obvious, that is to occupy the city of Yekesha, and use it as a base to slowly advance north.At the same time, it was also luring him, leading the army to intercept him halfway, and the two sides fought to the death.

what to do?Sade couldn't make a decision for a while, so he immediately called everyone to discuss.

After expressing his worries, Rui Ge Rui immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think our army can fight."

Sade immediately cheered up, and quickly asked: "Oh, Ai Qing, tell me quickly."

"Your Majesty, we have far more soldiers and horses than the opponent. Now that the opponent has no city to rely on, how can we defeat our army's attack with artillery alone?" Ruige Ruilang said, "On the four sides of the wilderness, our cavalry But hold back the opponent so hard that they cannot be stored. Even if they cannot be defeated for a while, they can be trapped in the wild. When they are short of food and grass, they will surely be defeated. The Western Regions are not impossible."

"Okay, what Ai Qing said won my heart." Sade couldn't help but nodded, and said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has a question, and I would like to ask the right chancellor to advise you." At this time, Pasia stood up with a hunched body, looked at Sade with cloudy eyes, and panted heavily.

Seeing his flushed face, Sade knew that the seventy-year-old veteran of the three dynasties was dying, so he said quickly, "My lord, sit down and talk."

After hearing this, Pasia thanked her and sat down slowly.Then he raised his head and looked at Rui Gerui, "Master Right, I have a question. Why did the Hengshan Army march northward at this time? Without any preparation, how could such a bold attack be possible?"

Pasia's words immediately caused everyone's expressions to darken. Yes, the Hengshan Army has gone through countless battles and repeatedly defeated powerful enemies. It is impossible for them to make such a mistake?

Rui Gerui's face suddenly darkened, not because he was dissatisfied with Pasia, but because he felt guilty for his lack of thoughtfulness. "Your Majesty, I almost put our army in danger, so I am willing to be punished."

Sade waved his hand and said with a smile: "Ai Qing doesn't need to be like this. It's natural for everyone to express their own opinions when discussing matters here. How can they be punished for their words? Now that you know the problem, you should think about how to crack the other party's Trick."

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but feel relieved, and immediately thought about it.

"Your Majesty, since the other party is going north and wants to occupy the city of Yekesha, why don't we give up the city?" At this time, General Engor stood up and said in a deep voice, "When he occupies this empty city, our army So they besieged it in the city. As long as the main force of Hengshan is trapped, the rest of the land will be empty, and it is just right to send troops south to attack the hinterland of the Western Regions. Take refuge with me, Golden Wolf, and take this opportunity to recover the entire Western Region."

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but feel their eyes brighten.That's right, why fight recklessly with the Hengshan Army?As long as it is trapped in the city, it can become a lone army, and it will die sooner or later.

Sud suddenly stood up and laughed loudly: "Okay, as General Engor said, Ben Khan will wipe them all out in Yekesha City."
