Chapter 590
The next battle is pursuit. It is said that the enemy should not pursue, but it should be divided at the time. Just like when there is only one road now, the more fierce the pursuit, the greater the enemy's success, the better their results.
Li Jing was not ruthless at this time. On the premise of controlling casualties, no one could say anything to expand his military achievements. For generals, they should not only consider the situation, but also the situation.
After two wars against the railway, it is theoretically difficult for Tiel to conduct the third time. To ensure that they cannot stop the third battle, they must be ruthlessly unable to meet the conditions.
Li Jing led his men to pursue him all the way, which tested the strength of the cavalry.
Yi Mu rushed out of the encirclement and thought they had successfully escaped from danger, but the situation was not what they thought.
"The general is still pursuing the enemy." The general around him reported.
Needless to say, the pursuers behind were always there, Yi Mu knew very well that he was asking him to make an idea, but what he could do.
"Transfer the order and go into the valley to defend." Yi Mu said.
"General, the valley is a place of death. If the enemy sieges us, we will definitely die." said the general.
"What are you afraid of? You didn't see that they didn't carry so much food at all. When we enter the valley, we have no choice but to defend them. When their food is consumed, they will inevitably leave." Yi Mu said.
"The General is wise."
At this time, the generals under his command had not forgotten to flatter.
Yi Mu felt that his plan was very good, but he was always a little nervous and always felt that something had been missed, but he couldn't even think of it.
Anyway, this is the case now. If they continue to attack, the last 30,000 people may not be able to leave alive. Although entering the valley is a dead place, it is also a dead place for the enemy.
He relies on familiarity with the terrain, and even if he enters the valley area, they can slowly find the exit, but it may take a long time, but at least there is no way.
Seeing that the Tiel cavalry had changed direction, Li Jing immediately said to the guards beside him: "Get the map."
The scouts had already known the situation here clearly. They took out the map to check it. Li Jing frowned and first frowned. The scouts had investigated the valley location.
At that time, Li Jing was still thinking about whether to be an ambush site here, but in the end he gave up mainly because the terrain here was not suitable for cavalry, and he now understood the intention of General Tiele.
The advantages of the Tiel cavalry are because they understand the terrain and local horses are more adaptable to this environment. All fighting in the valley is their advantage. In addition, the valley is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The final thing they can do is to guard and defend.
Even so, I am afraid that the enemy will be fighting the defensive idea. If one cannot enter or the other does not want to come out, it will only be the result of a stalemate.
The more important thing is logistics supply.
"What should Li Zongjun do now?" Pei Yuantong called over and asked.
"They want to spend money with us and count the food control and prep food." Li Jing said.
Pei Yuantong admired Li Jing's ability so quickly to see the enemy's deployment. Anyway, he didn't understand this, just follow the orders.
Yi Mu's people have seen the vanguard soldiers counting food, and the food is unified. You can tell at a glance what the situation can be used to make rice with iron pots.
When the soldiers returned to report, Scout Tiele said in detail.
"I have seen with my own eyes that they gathered all the food together, and only a small amount of rice in the pot was not enough for hundreds of thousands of people to fill their hunger."
Although Yi Mu heard it, he didn't believe it, but he still told his subordinates to concentrate all the food on the soldiers. The next battle was not about combat power or willpower.
They also cook in a concentrated manner. The food in the pot is very small but the water is sufficient. They all live on horseback. The horses carry enough water bags, which is their habit.
Even if they bring too much water, they won't waste it easily.
In this way, both sides were at peace after being employed to test the scouts. One was because he didn't want to go out and the other wanted to come in but couldn't. He just stood in a stalemate.
Scout Tieler was trying to find a way out. If they continued to move into the valley, they would lose their defense advantage. If they were lost in the valley, the situation was much worse than facing pursuers.
Three days later, the Tieler cavalry's food became less and less, even if they filled their stomachs with soup, there was no way for people not to be weak, and the soldiers' morale was depressed.
Scout Tiele came again to check the situation of the Pioneer Army. Although their iron pot still had some soup, there was still some food, which was much better than what they ate.
"What's the situation with the vanguard?" After the scout came back, he was asked by Yi Mu.
The scout explained the situation, Yi Mu knew it. From this point of view, it would be inevitable that the vanguard soldiers would be defeated in a few days. This inference is because the vanguard soldiers are huge, so don’t underestimate this.
It is not said that there are so many people, but in fact, the faster the food is consumed. If you only drink water every day, you will be unable to lose your energy before others.
Take the millions of soldiers from the Sui Kingdom as an example. Attacking Goryeo means losing to logistics supplies. To put it bluntly, it means losing to a large number of people. On the contrary, a small number of people will be different when encountering this situation.
It is easy to distribute limited food, and there will be fewer conflicts when you are hungry.
Yi Mu was thinking about these things.
Three more days later, the Tiel cavalry had run out of food for two days. They had decided to attack the horses, but they also knew that this was not a good idea.
Because it is poisonous, it can't last long even if it persists. Besides, the war horses are combat power, and they cannot continue fighting without them. Yi Mu had this idea but did not do so.
He was waiting for the vanguard to hold on.
The rice Li Jing carried was consumed, and the soldiers' situation was listless. These were very real and people could understand it at a glance.
After Yi Mu came to check this situation in person, he felt that the opportunity had come. Now he only had to hold on for another two days and the enemy would probably leave.
Li Jing didn't wait two days to meet him. When Yi Mu came to check, he asked the vanguard to pack up his sachet and leave.
"The general and the others have left, we are saved." The scout was so happy that he was a little unrestrained. This was so harsh in Yi Mu's ears.
"Send the order and let's go out of the valley." Yi Mu said.
To be on the safe side, Yimu first sent five hundred cavalry out of the valley and checked everywhere. The results were not found, and then all the Tiel cavalry out of the valley were found.
Yi Mu felt proud of his caution and could return to the tribe in less than two or three days as long as he persisted.
After leaving the valley, the Tiel cavalry kept rushing fast. Now they have to fight for time, and even if the horses can't stand it, they can't stop.
"The vanguard soldier is really a rare opponent. This time I return to the tribe, I must let the leader send troops again." Yi Mu is the main general, and he has never suffered such blows in the battles of the Tiel Tribe.
