I am a fortress of Xianzong

Chapter 194 Bai Qi's Procrastination Strategy... Lack of Food

When the Great Qin Dynasty proposed to attack the Great Song Dynasty, the monks directly agreed. The main reason was that the development of the sect was severely restricted.

Otherwise, it would not be so easy to pass, even if the Great Qin Dynasty and the three major sects proposed, it may not be so smooth.

It seems that in 3000 years, the development of the monks has also fallen into a bottleneck, so what will happen to the Tang and Ming dynasties?
Will they start a war again, and will they sit idly by in the face of the rise of Daqin?

Now the key point is here.

The main force of the Great Qin Dynasty is still being transported to the border. In addition, the main force needs to be divided into two. While attacking the Great Song Dynasty, it is also necessary to prevent other dynasties from attacking itself.

At this time, the news had inevitably leaked out, but Bai Qi was still on the move.

He defeated the middle of the Great Song Army, with an army of 1000 and two million. The first wave of attack ate up one-third of the opponent's troops, but then the Great Song Army responded.

However, Bai Qi's vanguard broke through the opponent's defense, but it could no longer be wiped out on a large scale. It could only directly kill through the opponent's defense for the purpose of defeating it.

In this way, the Great Song Army fled with about 600 million troops.

This number is extremely large, and if they are assembled again, Daqin will have to pay a heavy price.

Therefore, Bai Qi must speed up and attack the main force of the last wave of the Song Army, which is also more than 1000 million troops, and at this time, the opponent may be ready for battle.

The shortcoming of insufficient troops has been infinitely magnified. At the same time, the combat characteristics of the vanguard army may be clear to the opponent, and various traps against cavalry are probably ready.

And the vanguard's physical strength also had problems, and it took several days to recover, and Bai Qi fell into a dilemma.

"Your Majesty, I wonder how the main force is doing now?"

"The first road has penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Song Dynasty. There is no obstacle ahead at this time. It is estimated that it will arrive in Songzhou soon and surround the capital of the Song Dynasty!" Ying Zheng explained the specific situation to Bai Qi, "The second road has more than ten million people. The troops are now thinking about advancing towards the border of the Three Kingdoms, and will establish a line of defense here to prevent the other two dynasties from interfering."

"Then, are Datang and Daming taking any action at this time?"

"No, our scouts reported back. At this time, their main forces are still returning to their respective stations, and there is no sign of turning back."

"That's good, at least you can give us some more time, but the vanguard army has physical problems now, and I plan to use delaying tactics in the final battle!"

"Well... tell me more specifically!" Ying Zheng didn't give the order to die, and asked Bai Qi to use the vanguard to fight the opponent desperately.

This vanguard army is extremely precious, not to mention those demon horses, these soldiers alone can be regarded as the elite of the elite at this time, extremely precious.

If they continue to fight with the other two dynasties, they are undoubtedly the best choice to charge forward.

It is necessary to save them!

"According to the news from Tanma, the main force of the Song Army on the last route has stopped advancing and is defending on the spot. In this way, the minister led the vanguard army to wander around it and not attack!"

"That's it... This is a good way. If they take the initiative to attack, they will definitely escape the defense. It will be much easier for you to defeat them."

"exactly!"

"Okay, let's do this. The vanguard army is now my Great Qin elite. You must ensure that they don't suffer too many casualties. Just harass the opponent's main force on the last line, and wait until the main force of my army arrives."

"Yes!"

After the discussion between the two sides, Bai Qi has a solid foundation in his mind. He doesn't need to lead the vanguard military area to work hard. It seems that His Majesty still attaches great importance to this vanguard army. If he can firmly control this vanguard army, then the Bai family will be in Daqin The status among them will undoubtedly be improved a lot.

The vanguard army repaired, and then set off again, but this time they did not rush on the road at a high speed, but marched slowly to allow the soldiers and horses to recover their strength. The daily march was not long.

It took seven or eight days before they encountered the opponent's last main force's probing horse.

Afterwards, Bai Qi also sent a large number of probing horses to check the surrounding environment and the opponent's deployment.

The Great Song Army chose a flat place, abandoned three camps, and divided the troops.

The three big camps are deployed in a triangle, which can support each other. At the same time, there are horse refusals deployed around the big camp, and there are probably horse traps, but they are disguised and cannot be seen at all.

Bai Qi did not set up camp, but led the vanguard to move around the three camps, resting from time to time, and did not take the initiative to attack.

The marshals and generals of the Great Song Army also saw the problem. They did not expect that this crazy cavalry army had changed its tactics.

It was obvious that they were delaying time, but they found that they were also in a passive state and could not attack each other at all.

Once they leave the camp and fight outside, they may not be the enemy's opponents!

"How many cavalry can we muster?"

"There are 200 million cavalry, do you want to send them out?"

"Can you beat it?"

"What if it's to hold them back? How about an infantry encirclement?"

"..."

There were many discussions, but according to what the defeated generals said, the opponent's cavalry was extremely terrifying. It was completely led by heavy armored cavalry, and then supported by an army composed of innate warriors.

How to eliminate such a force?

Moreover, it is unimaginable that the opponent's heavy armored cavalry can come and go like the wind. How did they do it?
What kind of war horse can bear heavy armor while maintaining its endurance and speed?
They have never heard of this kind of war horse. Even though many Song soldiers encountered this heavy armored cavalry, it was difficult to observe carefully on the chaotic battlefield because they were all in armor.

I didn't understand it at all, so just like this, the main force of the Great Song Army with more than [-] million troops was dragged here by Bai Qi's vanguard army.

And with the passage of time, problems also appeared, the food problem.

For an army of more than 1000 million, the daily food and grass needs are astronomical, and the food and grass they carried were originally prepared for returning to the station.

Although Bai Qi's vanguard did not carry much food and grass, they fought all the way, using the method of on-the-spot supply, and the movement was told. They could leave the surroundings at any time, go to nearby cities to rob a wave, and then come back.

The Great Song Army did not have this convenience, so they could only hold on, or let their cavalry leave to find food and come back.

This is not difficult, but what is difficult is, what if your own cavalry mounts on the opponent?
The enemy also has a source of information, otherwise they would not have attacked their two main forces in such a precise and continuous manner, and finally changed their strategy.
