Dagan Hamu intended to change the morale of the army. Previously, under the leadership of Deng Mingyuan, the powerful Allied forces in the Western Regions had become useless, their morale was flagging, and they marched and fought submissively.

They do have the ability to stop it until now, but how many troops do they still have?

In the battle of Shanlingguan, the enemy troops were well prepared, evacuated in an orderly manner, and retreated completely.

But in Daganham's view, the enemy had exposed the problem. Wasn't the seemingly orderly retreat just to make them vigilant?

If this is the case, you have fallen into the enemy's scheme. Some things cannot be changed.

What else do they have?

Do we have sufficient troops? Do we have sufficient supplies? Or can we get reinforcements?

No!

None of these!

The Wei State, the Liang State, the Northern Yi Wuliang Tribe, and the Allied Forces of the Western Regions, just pick one of them, and the small country of Daning is not something that a small country like Daning can handle.

What's more, all four sides are attacking at the same time.

Daganhamu recognized from the bottom of his heart the country's tenacity and was able to persevere until now, but that was the end of it.

The Western Army of Daning'an does not exceed 30,000 at most, and at the same time, ordnance supplies are also in extreme shortage.

Now they only have two options.

First, fight to the death, destroy the cauldron, and eventually the entire army is destroyed, dying a heroic death.

Second, he fled in panic and retreated to Pingzhang Pass to continue to hold on.

This is Daganhamu's judgment.

He predicted that the enemy would adopt the second approach, because since the beginning of the war, except for the battle of Laiyang City, the enemy had tried their best to avoid frontal battles in order to preserve their strength.

Daganhamu led an army of more than 100,000 people to march forward in a mighty manner, still extremely heroic at this time.

With such a huge army and such brave warriors, who can resist?

The only drawback is that the warriors are exhausted and lack energy.

This was due to lack of supplies, and the war horses were also very thin. Some warriors felt so sorry for their horses that they simply got off and walked.

But these problems are only temporary.

March all the way and pursue along the way.

He has been sending scouts to explore the direction in which the enemy troops are fleeing.

Daganhamu's prediction was not wrong. When he arrived at the Anxi camp, there was no one left. The camp was not in chaos. It could be seen that it was retreating in an orderly manner.

"Ha ha!"

"The commander knew that this was the case, and the enemy troops really fled!"

Daganhamu laughed.

He has contempt for the Central Plains countries in his heart, and now he has shown it vividly!

"They've run out of moves!"

Daganhamu sneered and said: "At Shanling Pass, we can still take advantage of the pass city wall, and we can also use equipment and supplies. When these are all used up, we will be knocked back to our original shape, and we will not dare to fight us head-on again.

The only option is to run away."

Seeing this scene, many generals were also happy. It seemed that what the commander-in-chief said was not wrong. The enemy army was already at their wits end.

yes!

What else could they do?

It is already a miracle that we can resist with such strength until now. Some things cannot be changed.

For example, there is a real disparity in military strength.

Now that the war has started, they finally see the prospect, and they want to get out of this desolate land in the northwest as soon as possible...

"Arrange warriors to search immediately and leave useful things behind."

Daganhamu gave the order.

But he guessed that the enemy would leave nothing for them.

It didn't take long for him to receive reports that there was nothing but scattered tents and useless equipment.

But there is also an important discovery.

"Sir, this is the pit used by the enemy to make fire!"

Adili pointed to a large open space in front of him and dug out pits for stoves. There were still traces of fires in them.

Daganhamu knew that the Central Plains countries had always had the habit of burying pots to make rice while marching, and by the number of stove pits, the size of the enemy army could be roughly judged.

Adili said: "At the end of the day, the general sent a number of people to pass by. It is estimated that the enemy army is less than 30,000."

"Um."

Daganhamu said in a low voice: "This is similar to my previous speculation."

"The enemy troops are all infantry, and their marching speed will definitely not be able to keep up with ours. Order to rest for half a day and continue marching!"

"Sir, our army is short of food and grass, and our troops and horses are tired. Should we send people to find supplies first?"

Adili advised.

The samurai are all sallow and thin. How can they have strength and energy when they are hungry?

"Looking for supplies?"

Daganhamu said directly: "This is a camp where the enemy has been stationed for a long time. Do you think we can find supplies nearby?"

Adili was slightly startled.

There's nothing wrong with what he said. Given the enemy's temperament, they must have plucked the geese's feathers, and it's impossible for them to find him.

"Continue to pursue the enemy. After leaving Tongzhou, we will reach Yanzhou. It is easy to plunder supplies."

"yes!"

Adili opened his mouth and said: "General, I will go and arrange a rest immediately. There is a river nearby and there is a stove pit here where you can boil some hot water."

Since you haven't eaten, it's also good to drink some hot water.

"Go and do it."

Daganhamu continued to search for the camp, trying to find some useful information.

He looks rough, but he is actually a meticulous person.

As a groom, Deng Mingyuan naturally accompanied him. He was dressed in rags. The once high-ranking commander had become the lowest and most humble groom.

"Just now a general said that the enemy's retreat may have other plans. Under your leadership, our warriors from the Western Regions have become cowards. We march and fight cautiously. We have simply lost our blood!"

Daganhamu cursed a few times and asked: "What do you have to say about this? Do you also think that the enemy has other plans?"

Deng Mingyuan was slightly startled.

There is no problem if the enemy retreats and we continue to pursue.

He can't see anything yet, but he thinks it won't be that simple...

"Yes, I think there is a problem."

Deng Mingyuan spoke directly.

"I knew you would say that!"

Daganhamu didn't seem surprised.

"After such a long period of training in the Western Regions, why are you still so cowardly? If it weren't for you, how could the army be like this?"

"Our troops outnumber the enemy by an unknown amount. No matter how we fight, the chance of victory is ours. You still say such things. Do you want revenge?"

Daganhamu's eyes flashed coldly.

"You must hate me to death and want to take revenge on me, but you can't do anything to me. You can only use this method to collapse the army and make me unable to return to the Western Regions and unable to explain. You see the army's victory imminent, but

You deliberately said this to let me move forward cautiously, delay time, and bring down the army. Then you have achieved your purpose of revenge, right?"

Daganhamu said coldly: "Why is your heart so bad?"

"That's right, you can even persecute your own country, what else can't you do? Sanji is really blind. If it weren't for Sanji's sake, I would kill you right now!"

Daganhamu cursed angrily.

"Do you think I'll be fooled?"

He directly raised his foot and kicked Deng Mingyuan to the ground, and then stepped on him several times.

It hurts and is humiliating.

But Deng Mingyuan was smiling.
