At this moment, these grassland wolves were only a day away from Bingzhou.
As long as they charged together, Bingzhou City would fall in a matter of seconds.
The dozen tribes argued for an entire night. When they were exhausted, they finally came up with a preliminary plan to divide the spoils.
Just as the meeting was about to end, an emergency occurred and Xue Yantuo's internal department exploded.
According to the urgent report of the scouts, a large Tang army was heading toward Xue Yantuo's rear.
In the rear, Xue Yantuo did not have much strength.
Even though Xue Yantuo had five hundred thousand soldiers, apart from these two hundred thousand elites, he had no other choice.
The rest of the troops were spread out over a wide area, and they would definitely not be able to reach it in less than ten days to half a month.
If the other armies were to reach Xue Yantuo's rear, the old, young, women, and children would all be slaughtered by the Great Tang.
"How many Tang soldiers are there?" Zhenzhu Khan asked the scouts.
"Great Khan, there may be hundreds of thousands of people. The sound is very loud, and the dust caused by the hooves covers the sky and the sun.”
Boom!
Zhen Zhu was stunned and hurriedly turned around to discuss with the other leaders to split up and intercept them.
……
Xue Rengui led the ten thousand wolf cavalry to take a detour and appeared behind Xue Yantuo's cavalry.
According to Li Jian's brocade bag, they dragged a branch behind the horse's tail. The flag was waved and the drums were loud, making the commotion very loud.
According to Li Jian's tactical plan, Xue Rengui took a roundabout route to the border.
Along the way, the soldiers who encountered Xue Yantuo's fallen soldiers and some of Xue Yantuo's small tribes asked Xue Rengui how to deal with them.
Xue Rengui made a beheading gesture."Xue Yantuo is a traitor and is not worthy of being a human!”
The soldiers did not want any prisoners, so they started a massacre…
On Li Jian's brocade bag were the possible routes of Xue Yantuo's cavalry and the logistics base. Xue Rengui was looking for Xue Yantuo's logistics base.
Cutting off the enemy's supply routes was the key to defeating Xue Yantuo's superior forces.
Without food, how long could they keep surrounding the city?
……
The next day.
When Li Jian woke up, he opened the system and found that Xue Yantuo's cavalry had split into two. Half of the cavalry had already begun to retreat.
Just as Li Jian had expected, the number of cavalrymen who had returned to prepare to fight the so-called main force of the Great Tang had reached one hundred thousand, half of the army.
These 100,000 people had already left Xue Rengui's 10,000 wolf cavalry.
And the number of Xue Yantuo's cavalry that was preparing to attack Bingzhou City was reduced by half.
The pressure on Bingzhou City's defense suddenly decreased. Li Jian began to develop countermeasures according to the actual situation.
Luo Binwang walked in quickly and bowed."
"Your Highness! The watchtower at the city gate reported that Xue Yantuo's cavalry had already arrived outside the city. There are tens of thousands of Hu cavalry, so the threat is not very big. Your Highness has made such preparations for a rainy day. I believe that the people in the city will unite to fight against the enemy.”
Hearing this, Li Jian nodded slightly. Everything was within his expectations.
100,000 Hu Cavalry wanting to take down Bingzhou City was a fool's dream.
With Wang Bo and Luo Binwang's propaganda, the people in the city were united against a common enemy.
From ninety-nine to just leaving, they all swore to kill the Hu and raise the prestige of the Great Tang.
The granaries of food were placed on the streets. With food in the city, there was no need to panic. This was a very immediate effect.
When the commoners saw that the streets were filled with food, naturally, no one would feel anxious about the city being breached.
Luo Binwang and Wang Bo couldn't help but praise Li Jian. The prince was wise and mighty!
Two hours later, Li Jian received the good news from Wang Bo.
Xue Yantuo's cavalry had attacked five times within two hours, and all of them had been killed.
The first killing weapon of the soldiers guarding the city was to pour hot oil and add torches. Not to mention scaling ladders, even the corpses of Xue Yantuo's soldiers could not be identified.
Although Xue Yantuo's archers were able to shoot through a tree within a hundred steps, under the ten zhang tall city wall, they were still able to shoot through a tree.
Their bows and arrows were useless against the defenders of the city.
They didn't even know about the catapults.
The second killing weapon was the giant rock. With sufficient preparation, the giant rock was moved to the city. When Xue Yantuo's cavalry attacked, the soldiers pushed the giant rock down and smashed it directly on the head of Xue Yantuo's cavalry. The giant rock weighed hundreds of pounds and was extremely powerful. The soldiers who attacked were crushed together with the ladder. Their internal organs were smashed all over the ground, making it extremely bloody.
Within two hours, thousands of Xue Yantuo's cavalrymen had been beaten to a pulp and their bodies were strewn all over the city.
Tens of thousands of warhorses were frightened and rushed into the Xue Yantuo cavalry behind them, causing chaos.
Four hours later, five thousand corpses of Xue Yantuo's cavalrymen had been piled up.
Zhenzhu Khagan, who was watching the battle, looked at the impregnable Bingzhou City with a melancholic expression, feeling a strong sense of defeat.
If this continued, Xue Yantuo's people would be killed here. This was something that Xue Yantuo's tribal leaders would never accept. As the commander of Xue Yantuo's people, he would be under great pressure. Xue Yantuo might even fall apart.
Only by winning could he maintain his authority.
Looking at the fluttering flags on the city walls of Bing Province, Zhenzhu Khagan had no choice but to give up on attacking the city. He gathered all the tribal leaders for a meeting to brainstorm and discuss the next step of attacking the city.
