Frightened, the warhorses charged at Xue Yantuo's cavalrymen.
It directly caused Xue Yantuo's formation to fall into chaos.
Two hours later, ten thousand corpses of Xue Yantuo's cavalrymen had piled up into a small mountain.
Zhen Zhu Khagan looked at Bingzhou City with mixed feelings, feeling defeated.
If the fight continued like today, Xue Yantuo and his men would all be killed here.
This was something that Xue Yantuo's tribe leaders would never accept.
As the commander of Xue Yantuo's army, he would be under a lot of pressure.
In fact, Xue Yantuo might even fall apart because of this.
Only by winning could he maintain his authority.
Looking at the fluttering flags on the city walls, Zhen Zhu Khagan had no choice but to give up on attacking the city.
He summoned all the tribal leaders for a meeting to discuss the next attack.
Under the threat of the giant rock and the hot oil.
Many of Xue Yantuo's soldiers had developed a psychological barrier.
They were scared when they saw the city walls of Bingzhou, and they were turned into hot dogs before they could see what the Tang army looked like.
They had thought that they could take down Bingzhou City in a day with 300,000 cavalry.
However, after a day of battle, Xue Yantuo's men had already suffered heavy casualties.
The tribal leaders were very discouraged.
The towering city wall of Bingzhou still stood tall in front of Xue Yantuo's men, like a mountain that could never be climbed.
Just as the meeting was about to begin, a scout came to report.
The ten grain stations behind Xue Yantuo were burned down, and all the horses used to transport grain were killed.
Boom!
This news was like a bolt from the blue, and the tribe leader exploded.
The grain route was their lifeline.
Zhen Zhu Khagan panicked.
He would never have thought that with 100,000 cavalrymen guarding his rear, the grain route would still be destroyed.
At this point in the battle, all the tribe leaders including Zhen Zhu knew that the battle was over.
He was at a loss, but this plunder had already consumed too much food.
If he returned empty-handed, wouldn't all his previous efforts be wasted?
However, the supply routes had been cut off, and the nearby Bingzhou City could not be taken down at all.
In the end, Zhen Zhu Khagan felt that he had underestimated the strength of Bingzhou City.
Didn't the intelligence report say that the Great Tang's main force had gone to attack Goguryeo?
Wasn't it said that the Great Tang's Bingzhou officials were greedy and that the city's defenses were weak?
He felt deeply deceived!
The other tribal leaders were under great pressure on him, forcing him to retreat.
For the tribes on the grasslands, it was best if they could go south and rob some things for the winter.
If the price was too high, he might as well rob the Western Turks.
At this point in the war, there was no chance of winning.
Zhen Zhu had no choice but to compromise with the tribe leader.
The cut off of the grain route was related to the survival of the 300,000 cavalry.
Food shortage is unstable, and food shortage is chaos.
He had no choice but to compromise with the other tribes and listen to everyone's opinions.
Thus, he looked up at Bingzhou City and sighed. He then ordered the troops to retreat tomorrow.
——
On the grassland.
Xue Rengui led the Bing Province wolf cavalry to seize every opportunity and was invincible.
These days, they had been searching for Xue Yantuo's granary.
After destroying a few tribes, they still knew nothing.
Xue Rengui opened the brocade bag Li Xiao gave him with a mysterious heart.
There were a total of seven locations marked on the brocade bag, and Xue Rengui followed them.
As expected, these locations were built very discreetly, and there were not many Xue Yantuo soldiers guarding them.
Thus, they charged down one by one and slaughtered Xue Yantuo's soldiers.
Then, he poured hot oil on it and threw down the torch.
The flames soared into the sky, and thick smoke billowed.
Xue Yantuo's cavalry had completely lost their supplies.
"Your Highness is really a god!"
Xue Rengui threw his head back and laughed.
The two hundred miles around Bingzhou City had already been fortified!
Not to mention food, even the common people of the Great Tang had entered Bingzhou City.
"General Xue, His Highness has sent an order for you to flexibly grasp the tactics at a suitable location and ambush the enemy!”
At this moment, the scout sent Li Xiao's latest order.
Xue Rengui immediately sent out 12 scouts to scout for Xue Yantuo's retreating cavalry.
Xue Rengui had a headache over Xue Yantuo's cavalry.
This was because they were Xue Yantuo's elites, and there were so many of them.
If they engaged in close combat, the wolf cavalry of Bing Province would not gain any advantage.
They could only choose to ambush!
Luo Binwang, who followed the army, said to Xue Rengui,"General Xue, I have a plan.”
"Oh? Mr. Luo, what do you think? I'd like to hear the details."
"It's not my opinion, but His Highness '.”
"Xue Yantuo's men returned empty-handed this time, so they must be very greedy for some gold and silver.”
"And we have destroyed so many tribes in the past few days.”
"If we use this gold and silver as bait, we can lure them to a terrain that is very advantageous to us.”
"At that time, we can kill them all!”
Hearing this, Xue Rengui was overjoyed and hurriedly said,""Sir, let's do it!"
According to the terrain, the location of the trap was quickly found.
