After seeing the Guirong army retreat, the Vietnamese army did not pursue it. Under the command of the banner, several teams alternately covered, slowly retreated back and returned to the military camp.

Although the Vietnamese army has stationed troops in Tuofeng City, they did not really have the entire army stationed in this city. On the one hand, this is because this small frontier city is too small to allow all 70,000 to 80,000 troops to settle in; on the other hand, it is also because if they really retreat into such a small city, it will not be beneficial to the entire army, and will instead affect morale.

After all, trapping the lonely city will make the soldiers think that fighting head-on is not as good as the enemy. If they fight with the enemy in this way, they will be at a psychological disadvantage. Sun Bi then decided to set up camps in the whole army by relying on the city and sending only some seriously injured soldiers into the city to take care of and treat them. The others, the commander of the three armies, have always stayed on the front line and have no idea of ​​entering the city to seek peace.

It was precisely with his persistence and the performance of leading by example that the two merged Vietnamese troops were no longer confused and could fight against the enemy again and again. Although there were many injuries, no one called them retreat.

It was also during these battles that the reputation of King Ying Sun Bi began to spread among these border soldiers. Whether it was the lower-level soldiers or the officers, he had a comrade-like friendship with him, the prince who gradually came from a noble family and seemed to be different from his family.

At this time, as the army retreated, several generals who rushed to the front of the army rushed to Sun Bi, who had been in charge of the central army, and dismounted and saluted, "Master!" The "Master" shouted very fluently, which was a sign that all the soldiers had truly accepted it.

"Thank you all for your hard work. How are the injuries in the army today?" Sun Bi personally helped the two generals up and then asked with concern.

"The loss today is quite large, and there will be about a thousand casualties."

"But the Guirong people were unable to get a advantage. Not only did they have considerable casualties, but they also left behind two hundred war horses with random arrows!"

This statement really made everyone excited. For the Guirong army, which is mainly cavalry, war horses are sometimes more precious than warriors. Many generals even shouted excitedly, and Sun Bi nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, remember your achievements. Next, we will fight with us, and we will also focus on the war horses that hurt them. Once Guirong loses the horses, it will be like breaking their legs, so the final victory must belong to my Dayue!"

"The Great Yue will win!" The soldiers were inspired by this and shouted again. The voices spread farther and affected more soldiers. They also shouted that they would win, and their morale increased a little.

However, as the generals dispersed, when Sun Bi returned to his handsome tent, the joy on his face quickly calmed down, and frowned slightly, and said to Di Jingfei, who had entered the tent with him: "How many days can the food last?"

In fact, he had an answer to this question in his mind, because almost every day, he would ask the other party. This was almost a sharp blade hanging above the head of the Vietnamese army. The war was in a stalemate, and whether the food logistics could be delivered in time became the key to life and death.

Di Jingfei was still as calm as ever and replied: "After today, there are still two days of food left. However, if the general is willing to reduce the food rations of the soldiers, he should be able to hold on for five more days."

"No!" Sun Bi flatly refused, "The soldiers' food rations must not be reduced, otherwise they will only disrupt the morale of the army, but will give Gui Rong a chance." What he said was the truth. Once the food he received suddenly was less, the whole army would feel uneasy. Once this emotion affects the subsequent battle, it would be fatal.

After a pause, he asked again: "Do you think the food in Youzhou can be transported in time?"

When he asked this, it meant that Sun Bi was actually quite worried about the current game. You should know that Li Ling had specially found someone to provide logistics for him. It can be said that his trust in Li Ling was above everyone else. But even so, he actually had doubts about whether Li Ling could deliver food and supplies in time. This was obviously a change in his mentality.

But Di Jingfei couldn't give an answer to this. Although he had a friendship with Li Ling, he didn't dare to make a promise for him.

Sun Bi, who could not hear the answer, was stunned for a moment, and finally let out a long sigh: "I'm afraid the winner is this. By the way, we were forced to retreat here to entangle with them. Did Gui Rong have any arrangements outside?"

This is the most unfavorable thing for the Vietnamese army now. Although they are backed by Hump Peak City and seem to have a support, they have also restricted their mobility. Once Gui Rong divides his troops to intercept the transportation of food and grass in Youzhou, can they still respond in a timely manner?

Di Jingfei hurriedly said, "The general was worried about this earlier and sent a cavalry to advance eastward. However, the Mobei side is too vast, and it is difficult for thousands of people to play any role. As for Guirong, it should be similar. If too many soldiers are really sent to the rear to intercept, it will weaken its combat power and it will not be worth the loss."

Sun Bi was delighted when he heard this: "General Di should be more careful than me, it would be the best. I just hope that they can transport the supplies safely as soon as possible. After all, this is the outcome of the victory."

...

The same sentence also came from Tie Lezhen: "The key to the victory and defeat with the Vietnamese army this time is not the other, but their food and grass logistics! If I think it is good, the Vietnamese army will only have about three days of military rations left at most. Once three days later, their food and grass cannot be replenished, and the soldiers will not be able to eat, and the morale of the army will collapse, and we can win in one battle.

"As long as we can eat these two elite Vietnamese troops from Youzhou and Jinzhou in this battle, the entire northern border of Yue will open the door for us! So, as long as we last for up to three days, we will be able to achieve the final victory!"

These words fell into the ears of the many leaders of the Gui Rong tribes in front of them. Only a very forced smile appeared on their faces, and only a few people agreed, saying that the Khan was wise.

It’s not that they don’t give their knights face, but after fighting these days, the damage from their tribes was too great, so great that these tribe leaders all felt heartbroken. That’s the capital for each tribe to survive in the harsh environment of the grassland. If you die dozens or hundreds of times a day, no tribe can stand it.

But under the powerful pressure of the Khan, they dared not say much. After all, the current Khan Tielezhen in the grassland today did not rely on their recommendation to sit at a high position, but on their own strength, relying on the fast horse scimitar to kill each other, and heads to the Khan position on the pile.

At present, almost all the tribal leaders in the tent were defeated by his subordinates. They survived after they promised to surrender forever and obey the Khan's orders. Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they did not dare to truly express themselves at this time, and could only use silence to deal with it.

But their reaction still made Tiele feel unhappy: "What? Are you questioning my decision?"

"No...I dare..." More than 20 patriarchs waved their hands to deny it quickly, "We are just worried about whether this plan will be successful..."

"Yes, after all, we don't have much food on our hands, so we can only last for another seven days at most."

"And once there is food in Youzhou, Yue Kingdom, is transported to you, they can last at least half a month or even longer. At that time, we will be anxious."

"Khan, we have to think about it if we have a preparation."

As soon as these people opened their mouths, they couldn't stop and told them their true purpose. Tielezhen's gloomy eyes swept towards them, which made them stop speaking embarrassedly and realized that what they said had gone too far.

"Since I dare to bring everyone here, I will definitely have a way to gain enough benefits for our grassland tribes! Even if they can really transport the food, I will have a way to win. What's more, long before this, I had sent two thousand elite cavalrymen to block the road from Youzhou to this side. As long as they really transport the food, these foods will only become our food!"

There were some suspicions at first, but when he said that two thousand elite cavalry had already been sent to block the road, the leaders of these tribes suddenly showed surprise on their faces: "It turns out... it turns out that the Khan sent the Canglang Iron Cavalry to intercept the food and grass... No wonder they have not been sent to the battlefield these days when they fought!"

"Yes, if the Canglang Iron Cavalry was rushing forward, we could have achieved even greater victory!"

These people agreed, but they were full of confidence in the Canglang Iron Cavalry.

It is because in recent years, the grassland tribes have suffered too much in the Iron Wolf Cavalry. Moreover, before, they have seen how the mere two thousand Cang Wolf Cavalry fought against tens of thousands of Jinzhou troops. The combat power is simply overwhelming.

In their opinion, at least in the wilderness, there is no army in the world that would be the opponent of the Canglang Iron Cavalry brought out by Da Khan himself. The cavalry in the grassland was not good, and the Da Yue official army naturally did not.

Seeing these people suddenly changed their dullness just now, Tie Lezhen smiled disdainfully again: "Okay, now the plan has been made clear to you, so your army must continue to work hard for tomorrow's battle. It would be even better if we can defeat the Vietnamese army within three days!"

After the leaders repeatedly said yes and then promised to continue fighting, Tie Lezhen asked them to go back. Then he was silent for a long time before he said softly: "Wang Hui, is it a bit too risky for me to do this?"

"Khan, your ambition is to completely unify the grassland and the entire Central Plains, so you must first weaken the strength of the tribe leaders at both ends of these rats. Therefore, it is necessary to use the hands of the Vietnamese army to make them lose some troops. And I believe that the final victory must belong to us!"
