Chapter 267: Dilemma

The 40,000 Wolf Running Army stopped in Wuyanbato. Within dozens of miles around them, almost all the elite troops of the Dingzhou Army gathered. The Lu army alone had nearly 40,000 troops, the Qi Nian army had 30,000 troops, and the Changsheng Camp of the Tornado Camp of the Tornado Camp, and nearly 20,000 troops were viciously targeting the delicious fat meat of Wolf Ben. Eating Wolf Ben means that the building of the Grassland Barbarians would collapse.

Hu He is known as the number one general in the grassland, so he is naturally not a false reputation. Choosing Wuyanbato as the final resistance place was the result of his careful consideration. First, there is a military station established by the barbarians earlier, with rich material reserves. Second, Wuyanmato's geographical location is very mysterious. If you start from here and draw two lines on the map, you will find that this place can almost form an isosceles triangle from Fuyuan, Weiyuan and other places. Hu He's poses this stance, which is a situation where you can attack and retreat and defend.

Hu He doesn't want to defend himself, and there is no way out. The terrain of Wuyanbato is relatively complex. It seems to be a stretch of endless plains, but there are actually countless traps, wetlands and swamps everywhere. If you are not familiar with the geography here, the attack will inevitably suffer a great loss.

Bayar of the royal court also knew that the Battle of Wuyanbato was related to the destiny of the Yuanwu Empire that was not long ago. Although the Wei people restrained a large number of troops, he still gritted his teeth and drew 20,000 elite troops from the Zhenghuang Banner to rescue Hu He, so that Hu He's hands reached 60,000, and had the capital to compete with the Dingzhou soldiers.

The Shiwei army, which burned and killed and looted everywhere, gradually lost its advantage after entering the pass, and its troops were eroded little by little, and they were forced to shrink their forces and slowly moved closer to the mountain-crossing wind. Bayar, who had been forced to breathe, finally took a breath. He was not afraid of the Shiwei people and the mountain-crossing wind gathering, but was afraid of the Shiwei people floating and fighting indiscriminately. Now, the Shiwei people finally settled down. If they fight head-on, Bayar was not afraid of the other party. He began to coordinate the plan and prepared to give the mountain-crossing wind approaching the royal court a heavy blow to the Shiwei coalition.

Nearly 100,000 troops in Dingzhou gathered in Wuyanbato, and Lu Dalin obtained the power to coordinate and command the entire army from Li Qing. The veteran Lu Dalin, who had fought with the barbarians for nearly twenty years, held such a strong army for the first time, and when the entire battle situation was dominant, he couldn't help but feel hesitant and full of his ambitions. His years of wish would finally be fulfilled.

At this time, the Dingzhou army was divided into three attack groups, mainly Lu Dalin, Wang Qinian and Yang Yidao, and Lu Dalin had the power to control the other two divisions. In Lu Dalin's view, Hu He on the opposite side had become a dead tiger. The barbarian cavalry was flexible and mobile. Now he was forced to live in a place and take a defensive position. How could he be the opponent of the Dingzhou soldiers? This kind of fighting style is the strength of the Dingzhou soldiers!

After the three attack groups were in place, Lu Dalin issued an offensive order without hesitation.

Ideals are full, but reality is skinny. Lu Dalin, who is at the highest striker of his military career, encountered a heavy blow from Hu He when he was most proud. In Wuyanbato, where wetlands and swamps were everywhere, the Dingzhou army encountered a major setback in its first attack. The two wings that took the lead in attacking. Shortly after the attack, a large number of soldiers were not familiar with the terrain and were unclear about the seemingly flat grasslands, under the withered grass.

The trap was trapped on the ground and could not escape. Both infantry and cavalry became living targets for the Wolf Runner Army, and were shot and killed in large numbers in the swamp wetlands. At this time, the Dingzhou Army's exquisite Knife armor became a burden, and the dozens of kilograms of Knife armor made these soldiers even more difficult to move forward. When the big shield soldiers raised their iron shields and pushed forward step by step, the Wolf Runner's catapult, Eight-ox Crossbow, and Scorpion Cannon caused them major losses.

Within a strong attack for less than half a day, Lu Dalin, who had lost thousands of soldiers, was forced to stop the attack.

At the beginning of the retreat, Hu He did not give up the heavy equipment that he had gathered in the camp, and finally played a huge role. The Dingzhou soldiers were firmly nailed to Wuyanbato. On the first day of the attack, the Dingzhou soldiers did not even contact the Lang Ben's army and retreated in a mess.

In the next ten days, Hu He continued to send troops through the swamp wetlands and launched counterattacks against the Dingzhou army again and again, and gained a lot. Once they were counterattacked by the Dingzhou army, these assault troops took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain and left. After the Dingzhou army chasing countless losses, Lu Dalin finally ordered that such unnecessary pursuits were not allowed.

In Wuyanbato, a strange confrontation occurred. The Dingzhou army, which had a huge advantage in military strength, hugged in the camp. The wolf that had been driven away by a scattered wolf, was running, and kept harassing the enemy troops on the other side.

The attack was powerless, and Lu Dalin's mouth was filled with bubbles, and he was anxious! The general trusted himself so much that he handed over the command of the 100,000 army to himself, rather than his direct confidant Wang Qinian. This was not only a reference for his years of experience in the barbarian combat, but also a sign of great trust in himself. You must know that under Xiao Yuanshan's rule, the Dingzhou Army was at its peak, and the entire army did not have as many troops as it is now. But now, he was not good at the army, which made him very anxious and felt untrustworthy.

"We must take down Wuyanbato before the Grand Marshal's wedding!" Lu Dalin punched the big case heavily and said to Wang Qi, Yang Yidao, Wang Yan and other generals gathered in his tent. "We will use Hu He's head to congratulate the Grand Marshal's wedding!"

Yang Yidao looked at Lu Dalin's somewhat anxious face and said calmly: "Mr. Lu, Wuyanbato's terrain is complex, and the promotion of attack in the warehouse will cause significant losses to our army. Moreover, the Hu He on the opposite side is known as a wise general. We must deal with it carefully and never be reckless and impulsive."

Wang Qinian breathed heavily, "Mom, no one would have thought that this broken place would be like this. It's been more than ten days, and I have only been exploring less than ten miles. As long as the scouts sent were a little farther away from the camp, the wolf running troops would appear like ghosts and shoot the soldiers who were exploring my way. In the past ten days, I have lost nearly a hundred scouts. The battle is really infuriating."

Wang Yan shook his head and said helplessly: "These wetland swamps are too complicated. We followed them and saw the enemy on the other side pass through safely. When it was our turn, we sank down. In a blink of an eye, the winner and the loss reversed. Lord Lu, if you can't figure out the geographical terrain on the other side, it would be useless to launch an attack!"

Wei Xin stood up, "Mr. Lu, we actually have no other way now. One of them can only send more scouts and explore the way slowly. As long as we understand the terrain in front of us, we can reach Huhe Camp. If we really can't figure out these things out, we can only wait."

Lu Dalin raised his head dissatisfiedly and looked at the veteran who is known for his defense, "When do you think you will wait? Could it be that we will be unable to retreat here and then let the newly married coach come to command the battle in person? If this is true, wouldn't it be a joke that I am no one in Dingzhou?"

Wei Xin sniffed and touched the goatee's beard. He seemed not to understand the sarcasm in Lu Dalin's words. He said slowly: "I can't wait long, Lord Lu, the weather is our best helper. Look at this day, but it's getting colder day by day!"

Lu Dalin didn't react for a moment, but Yang Yidao suddenly remembered the incident of following the general to inspect Jimingze last year. His eyes lit up, "General Wei, you mean that when the weather is cold, it will freeze the cold. After the temperature drops sharply, these swamp wetlands will be frozen. At that time, they will no longer be obstacles to our army!"

Wei Xin smiled and said, "That's right, Lord Lu, looking at the weather this year, it will be a smooth road ahead of us in less than a month."

"A month?" Lu Dalin pondered without saying a word. In fact, in Lu Dalin's heart, he really wanted to let the generals send scouts to find out the terrain opposite him at all costs. For the first time, he commanded the entire army. Of course, he wanted to hand over a satisfactory answer to Li Qing so that Li Qing could see his abilities more deeply. At the same time, defeating Hu He was also a huge temptation. But he also knew very well that the heavy generals under his command did not agree with his idea at the moment, but wanted to steadily and erode step by step, and be in different positions. Of course, everyone would have different ideas. Although Lu Dalin was the commander of the entire army, he knew that he could not force these people to do something, after all, people like Wang Qinian and Yang Yidao were not inferior to him.

"Since everyone agrees, let's wait first, but we can't wait. The scouts still have to send a large number of them to test the terrain. Don't Hu He often ambush and lure our scouts? Then you might as well think of some solutions and do the opposite, which will increase the morale of our army!" Lu Dalin said with a smile.

The wolf runs to the army camp, and one day of peace. After suffering for more than ten days, the Dingzhou army on the opposite side finally became honest and never sent troops to attack. However, Hu He's face became even more ugly.

"Hushang!" Nuoqia and Haoge walked quietly to Huhe.

"Did you find something?" Hu He said quietly.

"It's getting colder!" said Haoge, "But Grandmaster, our camp has enough wintering supplies."

"The weather is getting colder and colder, and it is about to freeze!" Nuoqia's face was also very bad, "Lu Dalin must have thought of this too. Then he stopped the meaningless attack, they were waiting."

"I originally thought that the Dingzhou people would be blinded by victory and came to attack my camp at all costs, but now it seems that this abacus was wrong. In the past ten days, Lu Dalin finally calmed himself down with thousands of casualties. Nuoqia, Haoge, once frozen, our hard days will really begin."

Both of them were silent.
