"Block, block them, reinforcements are coming!" Centurion of the West River was on the front line, leading his men to resist through the narrow streets of the town.

"Shoot ............!!!"

Street fighting limited the play of cavalry, but could not limit the bows and arrows of the Yuan army, which were good at riding and archery. Dozens of arrows slashed their heads and faces, and the soldiers of Xihe not only had to face the enemy in front of them, but also needed to guard against sharp blows from overhead, and the numerical disadvantage also made their resistance pale.

When the centurion of the West River died in battle, his body lay less than ten paces away from the town's granary. Before he died, his eyes widened were full of unwillingness and resentment.

The Yuan army was all cavalry, which came too quickly, and because of the inconvenience of communication, even if the Yuan army was notified of the surrounding area of the march quickly, it may not be taken advantage of by the Yuan army.

So that when the Xihe army stationed in the town reacted, countless Yuan troops came from all directions, under their huge sea of people, then they had been ordered by Zhang Yuan a long time ago, and the heavily guarded Xihe army was still powerless to resist, and even the grain and grass had not had time to burn, just because the Yuan army still occupied the granary before the Xihe soldiers arrived at the grain and grass.

The surrounding dense Yuan army raised their weapons and let out a heaven-shattering shout.

"The marshal has an order, half of the people stay to carry grain and grass, and the rest wait for half an hour to slaughter the city, and after half an hour, they will gather at the gate of the town, and those who are late will be beheaded!"

"Long live the marshal!!"

Even though he knew that there were not a few people left in the town who had not left, this order also lifted the spirits of the Yuan soldiers who continued to be defeated and fled.

Time turns, and the sun sets in the west. In the distance, the dust and smoke were flying, the Xihe cavalry was late, and the cavalry of the Yuan army had already been 'chic' for more than an hour with grain and grass.

The West River cavalry walked into the town with a belly full of rage. Looking at the corpses of Xihe soldiers and people lying everywhere, Han Wei, the commander of Xihe, who was the leader, couldn't hold back the anger in his stomach anymore, and turned into an angry roar, echoing in the sky for a long time.

"Zapak, take your team back to the camp to report to the lord, and the others will continue to pursue with me!" Han Wei made murderous arrangements, and he didn't even rest. Then he led the Xihe cavalry to the distance with a whip.

The setting sun shone on the empty town, and the silent town was extremely bleak.

The starry night is dazzling, and the insects are particularly light and crisp.

"Zhaojiazhuang. Quhe Town, Dilong Town were destroyed in one fell swoop, Xiaoqian Town and Guozi Town rescued in time, and the Yuan army retreated! The main force of the Yuan army went all the way to the south. It seems that they want to bypass the Lingkou Pass. Enter Sichuan from Fuzhou and avoid Xu Rong and Subutai! ”

Zhang Yuan looked at the map intently, and was not happy at all, he frowned tightly, and muttered to himself: "Fuzhou has a variety of terrain, and there seem to be many ambush places, but there are few people in our army who are familiar with the local geography, and the people recruited locally are familiar with others." I haven't walked through it myself. The commander of the Yuan army must be very sure that he will take this road. It is almost certain that they may have traveled through Fuzhou, or even that he had fought in Fuzhou! ”

Zhang Yuan's guess is not unreasonable, the Yuan Dynasty was originally the home of the Yuan army, and almost every inch of land was fought by them. Although the commander of the Yuan army came from Outer Mongolia, don't forget that Outer Mongolia was also established when the Mongols occupied the Yuan Dynasty, and almost all the commanders of the Yuan army who occupied high positions had expanded their territory in the Yuan Dynasty.

"Come, gather all the strategists and generals above the commander of a thousand commanders! Also, wake up those people from Fuzhou and wait for the summons at any time! Zhang Yuan asked people to remove the map, sat on a chair and rubbed his beard, and secretly pondered.

Hunting is a delicate job, the most patient hunters have the greatest harvest, after forcing the commander of the Yuan army to abandon the camp and flee, Zhang Yuan has the upper hand, and now it seems that the Yuan army has repeatedly succeeded, obtaining enough food and grass, but the Xihe cavalry can only follow behind to eat ashes, watching one town after another be breached.

But in reality?

Zhang Yuan knew very well in his heart that this was only temporary, and the Yuan army was now taking advantage of the failure to react in time in various places, and when the towns along the way received orders, it would be impossible for the Yuan army to have such a harvest. When the time comes, even if the town is breached, all you will get is ashes.

Of course, Zhang Yuan would be very happy if the commander of the Yuan army made a foolish attack on the cities along the way, because in this way, the Yuan army would not want to leave so lightly, and the Xihe army that followed could swallow this part of the Yuan army at any time.

At the same time, the main force of the Yuan army also took advantage of the convenience of the dark night to avoid the crowds of Xihe exploration horses, and continued to advance in all directions, and the direction was inexplicably unpredictable.

Since he had a deep understanding of Zhang Yuan's persistence, Wuliang Hetai learned a lesson, not only did he often rush to the night, but also the main force was scattered, sometimes condensed, sometimes turned, and constantly divided the troops, confusing, inducing, and even ambushing the Xihe Army in hot pursuit, forcing it to go astray and not dare to approach. The strange movements are confusing, and one can only guess his destination based on the direction he marched all the way.

"Not enough, not enough, too little food!" Wuliang Hetai's fingers tapped the saddle constantly, allowing the war horse to follow the crowd with him, his attention all immersed in thought.

Today, three more towns were captured, but not much grain and grass were actually captured.

On the one hand, the war has caused a general shortage of food in the whole region. On the other hand, it comes from Zhang Yuan's order.

Before Zhang Yuan attacked the Yuan army, in order to prevent the fleeing Yuan army from taking grain on the spot, he ordered all localities to tighten their preparations for war, and the people of the town were evacuated to the nearby mountains to avoid trouble, taking away nearly half of the grain and grass in the granary.

And to be able to get this half of the grain and grass, it is because Zhang Yuan does not have enough time, and the people are not enough to transport it, plus Zhang Yuan does not know that the Yuan army will flee in that direction, so he does not dare to mobilize the army too much, so as not to alarm the Yuan army before the raid, and it is impossible to say that this half of the grain and grass will not be left for the Yuan army.

More than 30,000 yuan army elite cavalry needs grain and grass, every day people eat horses and chew, the captured grain and grass only lasts for a day or two, if there is no part of the grain and grass and livestock as much as possible when leaving, Wuliang Hetai does not know how to go on. Now seeing that Fuzhou is getting closer and closer, Wuliang Hetai is not half happy.

“…… What to do? ”

This is not only the thought in Wuliang Hetai's heart, but also Zhang Yuan's words.

“……”

Listening to Zhang Yuan's words, the generals and strategists in the house didn't know how to speak for a while, the difficulty of the commander of the Yuan army was beyond everyone's expectations, and after a few days, they tried everything, but they achieved little effect, and sometimes instead of succeeding, they lost their wives and broke their troops.

The cavalry of the Yuan army also left a very deep impression on the Xihe army.

They used the tactics like wolves, came and went freely, and the skillful and unusual raids taught the Xihe army a vivid lesson. (To be continued......)
