If you start from the conspiracy theory, Zhou Shaoyu took the initiative to mention this matter and told him a certain solution, he must have the idea of taking the opportunity to brush up his favor.

The power of the fire phoenix will eventually be defeated, but how it is defeated can have a great impact. was swallowed up by any force, Zhou Shaoyu was not happy to see it, but what if he surrendered to Zhou Shaoyu before he was defeated again?

With Zhou Shaoyu's current identity, as long as it is not a banner rebellion with a clear banner, except for the Turks and rebels, it is not easy for other forces to attack Zhou Shaoyu's territory, after all, on the surface, they still have to maintain a pattern of big beams.

However, if you really swallow the territory of the fire phoenix like this, it will be almost the time before the other forces really turn against you. Because there is no place to expand all.

In short, now that he is planning for the fire phoenix, it is indeed a bit of a favorite.

Zhou Shaoyu also admitted that he had such an idea, but it was more for the sake of Huofeng to be able to hold on for a long time, and to cause a certain amount of containment and consumption to the Liang Imperial Court and Xiao Jiwen, which was the best result.

Of course, after all, he wouldn't send troops to help Huo Feng attack Xiao Jiao's sister-in-law, no matter what, he wouldn't end up so early, and if he said something about Huo Feng's life and death, it would be considered compensation.

Just like Huofeng no longer expects Zhou Shaoyu to send troops, Zhou Shaoyu doesn't expect that because of the relationship between the two, Huofeng will give him much preferential treatment, casually mentioning the matter of crossbow arrows, sure enough, Huofeng didn't want to refuse, this kind of strategic material, who is not rare. If it weren't for the fact that there were still a lot of them, she might not have the capital to confront Xiao Jiaowen for so long.

In fact, if you really want to fight hard, Xiao Yuwen can eat the Fire Phoenix army, but it is not worth it. Xiao Jiwen is not like the Great Liang Imperial Court, there are so many troops that can be consumed at will, even if the rear is still training new troops, it can add up to tens of thousands, and if you die, you will have one less, and it is not worth paying a big price to fight a fire phoenix.

Besides, even if you win Huofeng's 60,000 army, after Luoyang retreats with the remnants of the soldiers, okay, what will Xiao Jiwen, who has suffered heavy casualties, continue to fight?

That is, with the above two points, Huofeng can stalemate, and now Zhou Shaoyu wants to take a piece from her important hole card, how can he agree.

This kind of moment is obviously not the time to reminisce and increase feelings, Huofeng only stayed for one night, and rushed back non-stop.

Yang Miaozhen also joked, saying, "Yo, isn't it good-looking?" I've helped you get knocked out, and you don't have much warmth? ”

Compared with the battlefield of Bingzhou, the battle between Xiao and Huofeng in Yuzhou seems to be a bit of a small fight, after all, the number of people is here.

Zhenxi Mansion directly sent 200,000 troops, even if a large part of them were alliance armies of the Western Regions, it was also considerable, and it can be seen that the influence of Zhenxi Mansion in the Western Regions.

But it is impossible for people to be vegetarian, the same cavalry is 200,000, and after the work is over, he gathered 100,000 on the grassland to rush on the road, it is obvious that Ashina Falcon is planning to solve Zhenxi Mansion in one go, and directly start to continue his invasion and occupation of the great cause.

It can be expected that even if Zhenxi Mansion has not sent troops, Ashina Falcon has almost relieved his breath and is about to move his troops to the battle, with his current strength, he is indeed capable of making waves to the hinterland of the Central Plains.

On the other hand, Ashina Falcon can be regarded as having occupied all the time, otherwise even if he has hundreds of thousands of troops, it is equally useless.

In the past few years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have been carried out in the state, either drought or riots, and even the Zhenbei General Mansion, which was originally responsible for guarding the border of northern Xinjiang, has suffered a great loss of vitality due to internal strife. As a direct result, the entire state will be undefended. Otherwise, no matter how fierce the Turks are, at most they will plunder and occupy them directly? That's unthinkable.

And Ashina Falcon just rose at the right time, and after replacing the Khan's position to unify the Turks, he went south at the right time, otherwise he was just a male lord who was powerful on the steppe.

is really a lucky person, Zhou Shaoyu is very jealous, and said that Ashina Falcon must have a lot of luck in his body, and he doesn't know if it will be good for him to slaughter him with his own hands.

Originally, Zhou Shaoyu thought that the race of the Western Regions countries should be similar to the existence of the Hu people and even the Persians, but after a closer look, except for a little exotic taste, it is no different from the Daliang people. Moreover, the location of the kingdoms is far less deep into the desert than it is.

In short, the Silk Road or something, unheard of. As for what is behind the deserts of the Western Regions? According to records, Solo was the end of the world.

At that time, Zhou Shaoyu's face was dark, at the end of the world, it can't be said that this world is really a round place. In the case of the deep-rooted concept that the earth is a ball, it is really difficult to accept that the sky is round and the place is round.

Oh, by the way, as for where did Zhou Shaoyu see the people from the Western Regions, well, this is still a good thing that Ainur did, he captured a few female prisoners on the battlefield, and actually let people escort them back to Zhou Shaoyu.

Hiss...... Zhou Shaoyu has a toothache, is my brother like that?

As for why there are women in the army, it is said that there is a daughter country in the countries of the Western Regions, and it is not all women, but women are in power and belong to a matriarchal society, and the number of men in this country is very small, and it is relatively closed, so it is not uncommon for female soldiers to appear in the army.

It's really the size of the world.

Let's get back to the battlefield of Bingzhou.

The 200,000 troops of Zhenxi Mansion entered the state in a mighty way, and they were not in a hurry to go deeper, after a few small frictions, they selected a high ground to set up camp, which was not enough, considering the strength of the Turkic cavalry, the camp of Zhenxi Mansion was like being made into an iron bucket, within the effective range of bows and arrows, and the trap pits were densely packed round and round, and then they could not be defended, which made the Turks uncomfortable.

Regarding the horse pit, many people have a certain misunderstanding, thinking that it is a small pothole, and then tell the galloping horse's ass to step into the air and will directly short the legs.

Can be pulled down, it's so easy, what happened to the cavalry in ancient times, asked the infantry to bring a small shovel with them, and when they saw the cavalry, they immediately dug two small pits on the ground, and then ran back without their lives, do you say that the cavalry chased or not? It's really so useful, the cavalry is too wasteful.

The real trap is not small at all, first of all, it has to be 1.5 meters long, at least 1 meter deep, as for the width, this is not important, 30 centimeters is finished, and then the pit is covered with antler guns and bamboo sticks, and then the surface has to be camouflaged, this is a qualified trap pit.

If you look at it from a bird's-eye view from above, the shape is almost 'Yaya', and the middle of the two Asian characters is regarded as a hole, and the two points are considered bamboo stick traps. Such a row surrounded the camp, and the cavalry had a headache.

In the face of such an iron formation, Ashina Falcon scolded General Zhenxi for being a tortoise.

But if you don't fight, you can't do it, because Ashina Falcon has tried it, retreated thirty miles, people didn't respond, retreated fifty miles, still didn't respond, retreated a hundred miles, huh? It's finally moving!

Hurry up and lead the troops to run over and take a look, fog grass! A brand-new camp appeared, making it clear that if you retreat, I will move forward slowly, and you have the ability to retreat all the way to Taiyuan.

It's so annoying, is this still a war? Don't bring such a lewd I.

At this moment, Ashina Falcon regretted transferring Fang Hong's troops back, otherwise, how good it would be to take them out and use them as cannon fodder, forcibly forcing them to fill the pit, even if they couldn't move a few stones, the corpse could still fill the pit.

But now, fill the pit with the corpses of Turkic warriors? Ashina felt that the lives of the Turks were not so worthless.

If you can't attack head-on, I can cut off your food route.

What does cavalry represent? It represents strong mobility, you continue to shrink, I will send people to go around the back to intercept the grain and grass, there will be no problem, when there will be no food, see how you still shrink.

For the first time, Ashina Falcon cautiously sent 10,000 cavalry troops around the rear to cut off food, and the result was a great success, not only burning food, but also beheading more than 4,000 enemies at the cost of only a few hundred casualties. But the second time it was in vain, because the Zhenxi Mansion obviously strengthened the number of troops escorted by grain and grass, besides, people also have cavalry, and hard steel may not be afraid of you.

In that case, then add it.

The army of 30,000 was dispatched, and it was a great success again, and until the fourth time, Ashina Falcon added another 10,000, and sure enough, Zhenxi Mansion strengthened the transportation team again, but fortunately, there was an increase in troops, and it won again.

The morale of the army in Zhenxi Mansion began to be impetuous, and the original three times a day to make a fire and cook became twice. Ashina Falcon was overjoyed, and after finding out the transportation route of grain and grass and escorting troops again, Ashina Falcon decisively added 20,000 troops, a total of 60,000, just to cut off food.

There's no way, otherwise, how can you fight? It's really hard to attack, and it's too painful.

So Ashina Falcon regretted it, and it was better to attack it.

The so-called cutting off the grain route is simply a trap, using the troops of the Western Regions countries as bait, so that Ashina Falcon can taste the taste of success again and again, and then secretly deploy troops to ambush, and finally 60,000 Turkic troops, only 3,000 escaped from the encirclement, and almost the entire army was wiped out.

As of this moment, Zhenxi Mansion has a total of more than 20,000 dead and wounded, but the Turks have suddenly changed from 200,000 troops to less than 150,000.

When he besieged Luoyang, he saw that he had already entered the city, and he was about to win and create history to capture Luoyang, but he killed a Sun Shouren, and he killed them in a daze, which made Ashina's prestige plummet, and he had to stabilize for a while.

As a result, now the opponent has changed from Zhennan Mansion to Zhenxi Mansion, and he still suffers defeat, and he also suffers heavy losses. The difference is that the fight was temporarily over when it was over, and now it has to continue, unless it is willing to give up the annexed states that are so easy to occupy.

However, how else to say that Zhou Shaoyu said that he was the lucky one.

After the first official confrontation, the two armies were in a stalemate again, and they didn't dare to run out of food, what if they were ambushed again? As for the strong attack, when the troops are complete, they don't fight, and now they don't have an advantage, but they go to attack, stupid.

As for the broken waterway, in the mountains where the military camp of Zhenxi Mansion is located, there is a cave that leads directly to the ground, and there is groundwater to take, and the Turks will not escape to the ground, how to break it.

It's really helplessly tight.

I never thought that for several days, the temperature continued to rise.

The higher the temperature, the more fire prevention is needed, this kind of thing everyone knows, Zhenxi Mansion has paid attention to strengthening this aspect of defense, but the temperature is too high, and the whole camp is made of wood, so exposed to the sun every day, almost ignited when it is on fire.

Originally, the number of the army was large, and the efficiency of taking water from the cave was not high, and it was difficult to use it for fire prevention in an even amount, and the general of Zhenxi was also a talent, so we didn't use water, and it was always okay to use urine, and the live mud was thrown on the fence, which also had a fire prevention effect, and increased the thickness.

If you talk about the disadvantages, it is a little stinky.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

The camp of Zhenxi Mansion is located at a high level, and the bow and arrow have an advantage in range, so it stands to reason that even if Ashina Falcon is willing to let the Turkic warriors die and desperately rush up to shoot fire arrows, it will not pose much of a threat.

But I couldn't stand it, and God helped Ashina Falcon again.

In the future, the wind is strong, and the wind is nothing, but if it is hung on the side of the camp in the west of the town, then it will be a big trouble. The range advantage of the Zhenxi Mansion side was completely lost in an instant, and the Ashina Falcon was still a chicken thief.

Even so, he didn't plan to let his subordinates go up to fight archery, but gathered his men to look around at the trees, and after slightly wetting one side, he directly burned a raging fire just outside the range in front of the camp.

That's called a black smoke, the wind blows like this, and it all drifts to the camp, and the coughing sound can be described as earth-shattering for a while, just kidding, more than 100,000 people.

Ashina Falcon is proud, if you have the ability, you can continue to carry it and don't come out! Not only that, but the archers were ordered to fire, well, still rockets. With the help of the wind, it may not be possible to shoot deep into the camp, but at least the wooden fence on the periphery can be burned.

As a last resort, Zhenxi Mansion could only retreat in a hurry, and was unwilling to rush into a short handover with the Turks, but unfortunately the people were in hot pursuit, and a big battle finally broke out.

Thanks to General Zhenxi's well-planned and effective organization of the defensive line, although there were still heavy casualties, it was not unacceptable, but it was only a temporary advantage in troops, but it was definitely gone, and there were even some disadvantages.

At this moment, the strength of the two sides has become 130,000 against 140,000.

In other words, in this battle, Zhenxi Mansion suffered more than 40,000 casualties, while the Turkic side suffered less than 10,000 casualties.

And the war has also entered a white-hot stage, it is easy to drive Zhenxi Mansion out of the turtle shell, naturally unhappy to see them build a turtle shell again, Ashina Falcon directly launched a high-intensity operation, attacking again and again, and the Zhenxi Mansion army, which did not have enough time to establish a good defensive measures, had to respond, and the strength of the two armies began to be violently consumed.

At the end of June, the Turkic follow-up army of 100,000 has arrived, and Zhenxi Mansion has finally taken out the elite of its hole cards at the bottom of the box, with a total of 50,000 people, only half of the Turkic follow-up army, but it is better than 20,000 of them, and it is the ironclad army of the cavalry!
