Yelu Xie Niechi has been in a bad mood recently.

The reason for the bad mood is that the war is not going well.

As a confidant general, everything he had is centered on Yelu Abaoji and the war. If he could not complete the tasks assigned by Yelu Abaoji and could not win in the war, his life would completely lose its value and would sooner or later be replaced by later generations.

It is precisely because he is a general of the trusted army that Yelu Xie Nichi has always been very confident. Even when facing Yelu and Lugu, the general of the Sijin army, he can maintain a look down, even if he often conflicts with the other party. As an excellent soldier, he has the belief of looking down on the heroes and defeating all enemies, which is not only very necessary, but also particularly important.

Yelu Xie Niechi was a clever and brave warrior who was highly anticipated by the old man. Before he became an adult, he became the second warrior of the tribe and became the object of worship by many people. The first warrior was of course the king of the grassland, Yelu Abaoji.

Over the years, Yelu Xienichi has fought against the grasslands for the Khitan, and has never been defeated. In the most difficult battle, he can draw with the enemy and have an invincible reputation on the grasslands. If it weren't for this, he would not have been highly valued by Yelu Abao's machine and became a general in the heart.

But this time the war against the Tang Dynasty gave Yelu Xie Niechi an unprecedented experience.

If possible, Yelu Xie Niechi would rather not have this kind of experience in his entire life.

Because that's a feeling of frustration.

First of all, while he had the advantage, he failed to ambush the Wolf Tooth Army at Luoyankou.

For Yelu Xie Niechi, that battle was indeed a failure. Even though his army killed more than 60,000 elite cavalry of the Wolf-Tooth Army, the price he paid was several times higher, and he also escaped Shangguan Qingcheng and 5,000 elite cavalry of the Wolf-Tooth Army, and failed to achieve the goal of destroying the Wolf-Tooth Army and capturing Shangguan Qingcheng.

Secondly, he was frustrated in attacking Yunzhou. He thought he could take advantage of the victory to pursue and make up for the regret of the Luoyankou Battle, but he did not expect that Yunzhou City was as strong as a barrier under the control of the 30,000 infantry of the Langya Army, and his elite cavalry could not be taken down at all. In order to avoid being surrounded by the later Tang Dynasty imperial guards, he was forced to retreat into the grassland.

For Yelu Xie Nichi, this is an unprecedented failure.

In order to save this failure, when he led the Khitan Western Route Army and attacked the Guizhou defense line of the Tang Dynasty, he first fought in every war.

Hard work was fulfilled. He conquered Huaian County, Wende County, Baiyang Town and Longmen County all the way, pushed the troops to Huairong City, Guizhou Prefecture, and launched a fierce attack on Juyong Pass in accordance with Yelu Abaoji's military order.

Before attacking Huairong City and Juyong Pass, Yelu Xienechi was invincible in battle, and the Tang army in various places had no way to resist his troops, which strengthened his confidence.

But when he arrived at Huairong City and Juyong Pass, his attack was blocked tightly.

From this, Yelu Xie Niechi discovered that his victory in Huaian County, Baiyang Town and other places was not because of how strong he was, but because the Tang Dynasty gave it to him. The Tang Dynasty had never thought of defending these places at all, and deliberately shrank its defense line and focused on defending Huairong City and Juyong Pass.

After more than two months of offensive, Yelu Xie Niechi failed to take Huairong City and Juyong Pass.

Although the Khitan army at the northern entrance of Tanzhou and Yuguan in Pingzhou was unable to invade the solid defense line built by the Tang army, this did not comfort Yelu Xie Niechi.

He is a confidant general, with one of the elite troops in the entire Khitan. He is also the most brave and good general in the grassland except Yelu Abaoji - at least he thinks so. He was particularly distressed when he failed the battle at Luoyankou, he could not obtain good military achievements to prove himself.

However, Yelu Abaoji's latest military order was to let him take over the camp and defend him, and he would not fight without a good opportunity to break the enemy.

This made Yelu Xie Nichi even more aggrieved and had nowhere to vent his anger.

At this moment, Yelu Xie Niechi suddenly learned that the army sent to the grassland to raise grain was actually attacked by the elite cavalry of the Tang army! The results of the operation for many days were lost. Not only did the soldiers bring back a cattle and sheep, but the 50,000-yuan army was even damaged!

This made him lose all his face and furious.

"Tang Army? Where did the Tang Army come from?! The Tang Dynasty's army was all in Guizhou, Tanzhou, and Pingzhou to fight against our army's fierce attacks. They were able to control the border without losing all their strength, and they had no ability to take the initiative to attack! How could there be a elite cavalry that detoured to our army and attacked our army's grain raising team?!"

In the military tent, Yelu Xie Niechi glared and stared at the great monk who was rewarding the military information.

"Report to the general, this is indeed the case. According to my observation, the Tang army has 30,000 to 40,000 cavalry, all of which are extremely powerful. Not to mention that the Tang Dynasty's border troops cannot be compared with it, even the Tang Dynasty's imperial guards rarely match it! What is even more shocking is that their battle formation is extremely powerful and has the power of overwhelming seas. Once my food-raising army joins the formation, the formation collapses in an instant!"

A mid-level monk in the Divine Envoy realm said with a depressed expression, "In less than two hours, the 50,000 troops were completely in chaos, and they were also divided and sorted out by the other party. The soldiers were killed and injured, and they had no power to backhand..."

Hearing the monk's description, Yelu Xie Niechi was almost excited.

He said: "Why is the wolf-fang army coming with such a powerful force? Do you want to tell me that the attack on you is Shangguan Qingcheng?"

The monk looked at Yelu Xie Niechi, whose face was distorted because of his anger, and said quietly: "Maybe, he is really Shangguan Qingcheng..."

The Tang army did not make a big fuss, so he had no idea who the opponent's chief general was. He was not a general in the battle formation, and he could not identify the battle formation of famous military generals, and the difference between the battle formation of military generals.

"Get out!" Yelu Xie Nichi could no longer help and let out an almost hysterical roar.

Shangguan Qingcheng was the only famous general of the Tang Dynasty and the biggest threat to the Khitan army. In order to deal with this person and the Wolf-fang army under her command, the Khitan planned day and night before launching the war, and finally paid the price of Dangxiang and Shatuo's two divisions to defeat the Wolf-fang cavalry at Luoyankou.

And now, what did the other party say to Yelu Xie Nichi? The other party may be Shangguan Qingcheng and the wolf-fang army! Isn’t this nonsense?

This is the biggest insult to the Battle of Chilu Yankou in Yelu Xieni. He could not bear it, and even more unbearable!

Originally, there was no formation to kill Shangguan Qingcheng and no Wolf Tooth Army was destroyed. Yelu Xie Nichi and Yelu Abaoji were heartbroken. However, the battle between Luoyankou made the Wolf Tooth Army basically lose its combat power. Although the result was not perfect, it was not much worse.

Now just a few months have passed, how could the Wolf Tooth Army resurrect so quickly?!

Yelu Xie Niechi can repel the monks responsible for guarding the food raising army when they are angry, but they cannot easily get rid of the entanglement of the following group of people.

These people are the chiefs of the grassland tribes of non-Khitan tribes.

"General, the grain raising team was attacked by the Tang army, and all the cattle and sheep they raised fell into the hands of the enemy. Now our battalion is short of food. At most half a month later, the soldiers will have no food!"

A respected old chief said with a sad face, "A warrior without food will lose the power and will to fight. You are the commander of the army and you should know what this means. Can you ask the general, can you solve this problem?"

Yelu Xie Niechi wanted to drag the old chief out of the military tent and behead him.

Although the other party spoke politely, his meaning was clearly and tough: without cattle, sheep and food, their tribe would not be able to continue fighting in Huairong.

But Yelu Xie Niechi could not do this, nor could he allow the situation that the old chief said to have happened.

If you want to prevent this situation from happening, you must raise cattle and sheep for the army.

This is certainly not easy.

The army under Yelu Xie Niechi had captured most of Guizhou and occupied territory including Huaian County, Baiyang Town, etc. But in these places, the Tang army did not leave any person, nor any grain or a cattle or sheep!

The Tang army implemented the tactic of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields.

This is not a new tactic, nor is it just a Tangren who can use it. In order to prevent the invaders from getting military rations, such tactics are actually very common, but they do not have the unique title of "solid walls and clear the fields".

Where food cannot be raised in Guizhou and the grassland can be raised, it was basically swept the side by the Khitan cavalry. At this moment, Yelu Xienichi wanted to solve the military food crisis, and in addition to sending grain raising troops to farther places, he could only speak to Yelu Abaoji.

It is certainly not feasible to send food-raising troops to the farther grasslands.

The Tang army that attacked the Khitan grain-raising army is still on the grassland; it is even more difficult to ask for cattle and sheep from Yelu Abaoji. If the other party can create a lot of food out of thin air, why should we order the army to raise grain independently?

Yelu Xie Niechi only felt that his head was as big as a bucket.

When he did not give an answer immediately, the tribe chiefs were talking and asked him about solutions to the problem, which made him unable to calm down and think about the problem.

If he cannot give the answer immediately, the morale of the army will be disintegrated.

Even if these chiefs of the troops do not withdraw their troops without authorization, the army will be in chaos and cannot extricate themselves, giving the Tang army an opportunity to take advantage of.

If it were an ordinary Khitan general, he would have collapsed at this moment. But as a confidant general, Yelu Abaoji trusted the most, even though he could not compare with Yelu who was known for his wisdom, Yelu Xie Niechi could not be underestimated.

He quickly settled his attention.

"No matter who led the Tang army that appeared on the grassland, and what kind of elite troops it was, now they have snatched our cattle and sheep, so that we can't survive. There is only one way for the soldiers on the grassland to go, that is, find them, kill them, and grab our food!"

Yelu Xieni said with red eyes.

This is the only way he can come up with.

In addition, there is indeed no better strategy. After all, there are only so many cattle and sheep. Unless they can conquer Huairong City or enter Juyong Pass within half a month, they can only return to pursue the Tang army.

There are no obvious loopholes in this action plan.

If you insist on saying that there is any problem, it is also the problem that the Khitan army has not been able to open up the situation for several months. The problem that has brought about the general trend of the war, the problem that the Khitan and the Tang Dynasty's military strength is not his personal problem.

"This Tang army is extremely powerful. 50,000 soldiers cannot withstand a battle. Even if the general finds them, how can he ensure that he can win the battle?" The respected old chief asked without any doubt.

What he meant was that the army that was not the eight Khitan tribes was not the opponent of this elite Tang army at all. When the number of soldiers was not absolute advantage, if Yelu Xie Niechi did not want to mobilize 200,000 troops to leave Huairong and give up his deterrence to Huairong Tang army, then he had to send his own direct army to solve this problem for the grassland tribe army.

Yelu Xie Niechi understands this very well.

He snorted coldly and said proudly: "The Wolf-Tooth Army, known as the most powerful Tang Dynasty, will be destroyed by me at Luoyankou. No matter how brave this Tang army's elite cavalry is, can it be stronger than the Wolf-Tooth Army? Besides, they only have 30,000 to 40,000 people! Without any more words, I will let my confidant take action and will definitely bring you cattle, sheep and rations!"
