Such a situation has never appeared in Mo Yuegen's combat career. The consequence of all this is, of course, his fiasco in Gansu Town. The crushing defeat in Gansu was definitely the biggest setback in his fighting career. He gained nothing, and lost a lot. What's worse is that he hasn't come out of the setback yet. The feared bottomless pit of Gansu Town seems to be far from the end.

What's worse is that no matter how hard he tried, racked his brains, and searched for dry intestines, there seemed to be no solution to the dilemma. The feedback from all sides is not very good. The defense of Zhenyuan Pass is very strong. Even he, a nomad, knows that if there is no large-caliber artillery, I am afraid that there is no way to take it down.

However, he did not have artillery. But the white-clothed army has artillery in their hands. The sharp-eyed Tatar sentinels had discovered that there should be a large number of cannons on the head of the town far away. What kind of concept is this that the Tatars, as the attacking side, did not have artillery, but the white army, which was the defending side, had a large number of artillery?

The thought of the cannon made all the Tatars have a headache. They are indeed very taboo about these cannons. Because, the shotgun fired by the cannon cannot be evaded by relying on superb horse control skills at all. With one shot, it is very likely that a dozen, or even dozens, of Tatar cavalry will fall. Brave and strong, in front of the cannon, it is purely looking for death.

The news fed back from the various passes of Helan Mountain is even more not optimistic. The garrisons of the white-clothed army in these passes were very strong in combat and did not give the Tatars a chance to attack at all. The Tatars tried to open a gap in the fortress at the mouth of the Yellow Gorge, sent a large number of troops to the place, and launched several fierce attacks in succession, but as a result, except for the loss of a thousand men, no progress was made at all. The same is true for other passes. The Tatars received nothing but the dead.

Under the defense of the white-clothed army, the current town of Ningxia feels like an iron bucket. No matter how sharp the Tatars' teeth are, how cruel their hearts are, and how anxious their hearts are, they are also rats pulling turtles, and they have no way to start. If the Tatars could not bear it anymore and had to show their last fangs, a heavier blow would have awaited them.

Mo Yuegen estimated that even if Lin Dan Khan arrived, he would not feel much different. Because, the equipment of Lin Dan Khan's troops is not far from the equipment of the Tatars. Neither has too much offensive strength. Moreover, deep down, Mo Yuegen actually despised Lin Dan Khan. Mo Yuegen, who was born at the grassroots, completely looked down on Lin Dan Khan as a rich second generation. In his opinion, if Lin Dan Khan didn't have a good father, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be a centurion now.

What do you need to do to get out of the way? It is definitely not okay to continue to walk around the Zhenyuan Pass. Every day, the Tatars consume a lot of supplies. The white-clothed army could afford to consume it, but the Tatars could not afford it. Originally, the material reserves of the Tatars were already very dangerous. If this confrontation continues, it will definitely be the Tatars who will be the first to collapse. Even if Lin Dan Khan arrived in time, this would be the case. Because, Lin Dan Khan could not carry a lot of forage materials. The Mongols themselves consumed a lot of forage.

"Siege of Bayannur Grassland?" Suddenly, Mo Yugen had a flash of inspiration.

Siege of Bayannur grassland? Siege for reinforcements? Halfway ambush? Lure the white-clothed army out of Zhenyuan Pass and engage in a field battle with the Tatars? This thought casually turned in Mo Yugen's mind, but it was firmly engraved in his mind. Soon, he began to think deeply about this idea.

"Yes, maybe this is a way out......"

Mo Yuegen quickly calculated the benefits he might get.

For him, as long as the white-clothed army leaves the turtle shell of Zhenyuanguan, the rest of the matter will be easy. The first benefit, and the most obvious and direct benefit, is, of course, to solve the logistical supply. Now the Tatars' logistical supply is on the verge of collapse. If no one had delivered the forage supplies in time, the Tatars would have had to retreat on all fronts after holding out for a maximum of ten days. These days, the Tatars have begun to severely restrict the supply of various materials.

There are a large number of horses, cattle and sheep in the Bayannur steppe, which just meets the needs of the Tatars. These horses, cattle and sheep are the best food. As for the forage for the war horses, there is no problem. Even in winter, the aquatic plants of Bayannur grassland are still very abundant and can be used directly. It is estimated that the forage stock of the Tuyuhun people will not be less.

The Tuyuhun people must be regarded as an industrious people, and when they arrive at such a fertile grassland, they will definitely work hard to hoard all kinds of materials. Forage is an essential food for war horses to survive the winter, and the amount prepared by the Tuyuhun people will definitely not be less. I believe that the white-clothed army will not help the Tuyuhun people a lot. In other words, there should be a lot of other supplies.

As long as the Tatars get all kinds of materials hoarded by the Tuyuhun people, all problems will be solved. With sufficient supplies, the Tatars could continue the confrontation with the white-clothed army. As long as there are enough supplies, the big morale can be maintained. Mo Yuegen believes that as long as there is enough time, he will definitely find the loopholes of the White Army. It can be said that solving the problem of logistics supply is almost the basis of almost everything in Mo Yuegen.

The second benefit is that you can also completely kill the Tuyuhun people by the way.

At the beginning, the Tuyuhun people flagrantly betrayed the Tatars and threw themselves into the arms of the white-clothed army, which naturally attracted the anger of a large number of Tatar tribes. Several Tatar tribes joined forces and tried to kill all the Tuyuhuns. It's a pity that due to the intervention of the white-clothed army, they had to watch the Tuyuhun people go away. Later, there were always white-clothed troops stationed in the Bayannur grassland, and ordinary Tatars naturally did not dare to fight the idea of the Tuyuhun people.

However, this is only for the Tatar tribes in general. These small tribes of Tatars have limited ability and do not have the ability to trouble the Tuyuhun people, which does not mean that Mo Yuegen does not have it. With Mo Yuegen's strength, he only needs to stretch out two fingers to easily crush the Tuyuhun people to death. Even if there were some white-clothed troops stationed in the Bayannur grassland, Mo Yuegen was confident enough to uproot the Tuyuhun people and leave no one behind.

For Mo Yuegen, the Tuyuhun people blatantly betrayed the Tatars, and they themselves were innocent. What Mo Yuegen hates the most is the person who betrayed him. If he had the chance, he would never mind sending all the Tuyuhun people to hell. This time, he vowed that he must exterminate all the Tuyuhun people in order to make others feel the power of the Tatars. This is a clear example of killing chickens and monkeys, and it is necessary to show a little color to certain people.

To be honest, since the Tuyuhun people were subordinated to the White Army, some non-Tatar tribes that were originally under the control and enslavement of the Tatars have had an undercurrent. The Tuyuhun people apparently lived a happy life in the Bayannur steppe, and it would be impossible for other non-Tatar tribes not to be envious. Who wants to be enslaved and bullied by the Tatars all day long? Under the control of the Tatars, their lives are simply worse than death.

The control of the Tatars over the non-Tatar tribes was indeed cruel. Not only did they take away the surplus horses, cattle and sheep of the non-Tatars, but even their women. Even, every once in a while, a purge operation is carried out, wantonly killing people for fun. The purpose of taking away the horses, cattle and sheep of the non-Tatars was to control the wealth of the non-Tatars and weaken their power. Stealing their women, in addition to satisfying the Tatars' silver desires, can also effectively control the number of non-Tatar populations and prevent their power from growing too quickly.

As for the purge every once in a while, it was a bloody crackdown. Each purge was carried out by a strong man from a non-Tatar tribe. In the eyes of the Tatars, as long as the disobedient strong men were killed, the non-Tatars would not dare to be dissatisfied. What non-Tatar tribe would be willing to accept such cruel enslavement? If there is an opportunity to resist, they will definitely rise up and resist.

In fact, after accepting the Tuyuhuns, the White Army did step up its rebellion against the non-Tatar tribes, inducing more non-Tatar tribes to break away from the Tatar control and join the White Army. Indeed, some non-Tatar tribes were secretly shaken. This made Mo Yuegen feel a huge sense of crisis. If other non-Tatar tribes had ceased to be unafraid of the Tatars, this kind of rebellion might have happened in the future.

If all the non-Tatar tribes broke away from the control of the Tatars and fell under the command of the white-clothed army, the Tatars' combat effectiveness would be reduced by at least 30%. At the same time, because the White Army has mastered these non-Tatar tribes, it will also pose the most serious and direct damage to the Tatar tribes. Such a result, of course, is not what Mo Yugen wants to see.

Killing all the Tuyuhun people can achieve the effect of effectively killing chickens and setting an example to monkeys. Destroying all the Tuyuhun people is not Mo Yuegen's goal, but to show it to others. If the Tuyuhun tribe, the first to defect to the white-clothed army, was completely wiped out by the Tatars, look at the other non-Tatars, do they still have the courage to defect to the white-clothed army.

The third benefit is that it can attract Xu Xingxia out.

There are thousands of white-clothed soldiers stationed in the Bayannur grassland, and there is an entire Tuyuhun tribe, and I believe that Xu Xingxia will definitely not watch them be wiped out. Therefore, he will definitely lead the army to the rescue. If Xu Xingxia wants to rescue the Bayannur grassland, he will inevitably lead the white-clothed army to leave Zhenyuan Pass. In this way, in the field, the Tatars had a chance. Mo Yuegen has always believed that if it was a simple field battle, he would not lose to Xu Xingxia.

For the field combat ability of the troops under his command, Mo Yuegen is too confident. The troops under his command were all fought in the south and the north, and fought in the east and west, and they were definitely not an army that grew up in a greenhouse like Lin Dan Khan. Mo Yuegen has long publicly declared that the troops under his command are the most capable of fighting among all the Tatars. To this, the other Tatar chiefs, including the leaders of the three major tribes, acquiesced. As a matter of fact, Mo Yuegen's troops are indeed very rich in actual combat experience, have a strong ability to adapt to changes, and have relatively high morale.

For example, this time when I went south to Gansu Town, I encountered the resolute resistance of the white-clothed army, and almost all of the original ones were messed up. If it had been another army, it would have been withdrawn long ago after suffering such heavy losses. Even if you don't retreat, you will definitely not be able to cross the Tengger Desert. Crossing the Tengger Desert is a death march in itself. Not to mention, after crossing the Tengger Desert, there is still such a strong combat effectiveness. This is something that no one else can do except him.

If Xu Xingxia came out of Zhenyuan Pass and fought with the Tatars in the field, Mo Yuegen was sure that he would definitely be able to beat Xu Xingxia everywhere and be dizzy. When they were in Gansu Town, the white-clothed army never dared to go out of the city and fought a large-scale field battle with the Tatars. Only dare to dispatch sporadic cavalry, small fights, and they can't get on the table at all.

What's more, in this battle, there is also the cooperation of Lin Dan Khan. As a rough estimate, the Tatars could concentrate 50,000 troops. The Mongols probably had a slightly larger concentration of troops than the Tatars, amounting to about 70,000 men. With a strength of 120,000 troops, fighting in the field with the white-clothed army can definitely beat the white-clothed army beyond recognition and make a mess.

As long as the main force of the white-clothed army is killed and Ningxia Town is taken, there will not be much of an obstacle. Without the main force of the white-clothed army, what will Xu Xingxia use to guard the town of Yuanguan? As long as the Zhenyuan Pass is broken, everything in Ningxia Town will belong to him.

"Gruso, call everyone together." The more Mo Yuegen thought about it, the more excited he became, made up his mind, and shouted in a deep voice. Then, he excitedly turned over and got on the horse, clamped the horse's belly hard, and the sweaty BMW was like a meteor, taking him back to the golden sweat tent.

Soon, all the Tatar high-ranking people arrived. Grusso, Berrien, Zarik, Bergen, Catavaro, Barrett...... Compared with usual, there is a very burly figure missing, and that is Bachloch. In the battle of Zhuanglang City, Bakhlu unfortunately fell under the guns of the white-clothed army. This has always been a deep pain in the face of Mo Yuegen and his subordinates. Until now, Mo Yuegen has not been able to completely get rid of this pain.

Compared with Mo Yuegen's energetic spirits, the looks of his subordinates are not very good. Their faces were very haggard, as if they were seriously sleep-deprived. Many people even have some gray hair on the top of their heads. No way, the situation during this period has not been very favorable to the Tatars. In addition to Mo Yuegen, others are also trying to think about how to solve the dilemma. It's a pity that with their intelligence, they haven't thought of it for the time being.

"Guys, I've got a good idea."

Mo Yuegen said his thoughts loudly and bluntly.

The Tatar high-ranking people, who were originally depressed, suddenly brightened up and cheered up.
