April in Liaodong has become very hot. Dae Jo-young never thought that this war would drag on for so long, so when he led his troops out, the cavalry were still wearing winter clothes.

But the seasons will not change just because you wear winter clothes. The marbles in fur coats in the scorching sun are so painful that they have to be beaten bare-chested.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of grass in summer, so Dae Jo-young can just worry about food, and the war horses can last for a while with the newly grown grass.

Just opposite the cavalry camp of the Marine, Heichi Changzhi and the others had already changed into summer clothes. Because of local combat, they didn’t have to worry about food and grass, so they lived a very comfortable life. Sometimes when they were in a good mood, they might even get some food and put it in front of the two armies and give it to those Marines.

Although Dae Jo-young knew that this was Black-Too Changzhi destroying his morale, he had no choice.

Because they were really out of food, the food they robbed when they came was not enough for them to eat for a long time.

After all, his previous plan was to drive the Tang army out of Liaodong within one month, and then he could take action to attack the city, seize the cities that originally belonged to the Tang Dynasty, and obtain everything they needed.

But now everything has changed. He lost nearly one-third of his manpower in a battle by the Hunhe River. The remaining 60,000 people did not dare to move at all, and could only stalemate with Hei Ya Chang.

The battle by the river really scared Dae Jo-young and had a deeper understanding of the combat power of the Tang army.

The same is true for those cavalrymen. The fleeing cavalry almost exaggerated the Tang army to the level of heavenly soldiers. One fights ten is not even enough to describe his fierceness.

Therefore, the hearts of the cavalry of the Marine Cavalry began to become unstable, and voices that were not good for Dae Jo-young began to be heard in the camp.

This made Dae Jo-young dare not divide his troops to seize grain, and could only hold on the spot, hoping to find an opportunity to give Hei Ya Chang a fatal blow.

...

At the end of April, after another half a month of persistence, Dae Jo-young really couldn't hold on. Although the war horses were not short of grass, the food they ate had been handed over to the kiln. If the troops were not withdrawn, he brought out more than 60,000 people and starved to death on this black soil.

At this moment, several fast horses rushed into the military camp like flying, sending Dae Jo-young a news that shocked him: Five thousand Tang troops detoured from Mobei and had already attacked the heartland of the Mariner, Heishi River.

Heishui River, in today's terms, is Heilongjiang, the birthplace of Heishui River, and is as important as Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty.

So when Dae Jo-young knew that the Tang cavalry appeared in Heishui River, he immediately realized that the confrontation here was just a cover to attract his attention. The real purpose of the Tang army was actually to cut off its retreat, make it homeless, and finally besieged to death in Liaodong.

"Chief, what's going on? I heard..." There is never a shortage of well-informed people in this world. Before Dae Jo-young's decision to advance or retreat, the leader of the Bodu tribe had already arrived at the tent of the central army.

"Have you heard of it?" Dae Jo-young looked surprisingly calm, as if nothing had happened.

"Chief..." The head of the Bodu tribe had a concerned expression on his face, but anyone could see that the layer of gloating in his eyes.

"What? Are you here to make a joke?" Dae Jo-young also saw that the leader of the Bodu tribe seemed to have some intentions, and a sarcastic expression appeared on his face.

A few months ago, after the Battle of Hunhe, Dae Jo-young had actually begun to notice the patriarch of the Bodu tribe.

Although they were at a disadvantage at that time, if they kept rushing, there might not be any chance of winning.

However, because of the words of the leader of the Bodu tribe, the morale of the army immediately dispersed, and everyone began to escape for their lives, and even lost the life of the leader of the Hei Shui tribe.

Afterwards, every time Dae Jo-young thought of the scene at that time, he felt like he was conspiracy. However, after returning, the leader of the Bodu tribe had no special performance, and he could not determine whether this guy was using any tricks at that time.

Now, the fox's tail was finally revealed. Without summoning him, the guy came uninvited and took the initiative to propose the Tang army's raid on the rear of the Mohist, which was enough to show that the Bodu tribe had already had the intention of betraying.

But it is obvious that the leader of the Bodu tribe was not prepared at all. After hearing the ridicule from Dae Jo-young, he was not angry. He just smiled helplessly, and then continued his topic: "Chief, I misunderstood. I am not concerned about the situation of the war. The Tang army on the opposite side is eyeing us. If we withdraw our troops now, the black-toothed Changzhi will inevitably lead troops to chase us. If one of them is not able to deal with it well and the army is defeated, I am afraid that none of us will be able to go back."

It was indeed an old fox. Dae Jo-young cursed in his heart, and was a little helpless about the leader of the Bodu tribe who refused to answer his own words. Finally, he could only helplessly ask: "What should we do in your opinion?"

"I think we only have two ways. First, that is, to go all out, crush them directly, defeat the Tang army on the opposite side, and then withdraw them calmly; second, that is, to leave a piece of the rear and the other tribesmen to withdraw back to the Marin." said the leader of the Bodu tribe.

"Hmph, it's easy to say. Are you so confident that you can defeat the Tang army opposite with less than 70,000 soldiers?" Dae Jo-young said coldly.

"Chief, how do you know if you don't try it?"

"What if you lose? How can you return to help?"

"But the leader, even if we can withdraw, what if this Tang army follows us? By then we will face 15,000 Tang army, not 10,000." The voice of the leader of the Bodu tribe increased by an eighth degree, and he was no longer polite just now.

But Dae Jo-young suddenly fell into silence.

I have to say that what the leader of the Bodu tribe said was still reasonable. If Heiqi Changzhi ignored him and just followed him, he really had no way to deal with it.

Thinking of this, Dae Jo-young frowned and asked again in a deep voice: "So what if it is your opinion? Which method is better?"

"I don't know, I'll tell you, the leader, during this period, I've been thinking about what can we do to withdraw our Mart without losing money." The head of the Bodu tribe smiled and shook his head, "But after thinking about it, I found that it seems that we have no other way except after surrender."

"What? You said you surrender?" A nameless fire suddenly filled Dae Jo-young's heart.

If he surrendered now, how could he explain to the already dead leader of the Black Water Tribe? If he surrendered now, why did he come out of the mountains? If he surrendered now, what would he have to face to continue to lead all the tribes of the Mart.

Just when Dae Jo-young was furious and wanted to order people to drag the leader of the Bodu tribe out to dismember the five horses, a few people walked into the tent again.

One of them said in a questioning tone: "But the leader, what can I do if I don't surrender? We are now powerless to fight back. We don't have much food anymore. Our warriors no longer have the courage to continue attacking. What else do you think can make us face the counterattack from the Tang Dynasty? Do you really think the Tang Dynasty does not have the ability to kill all of us in one fell swoop?"
