Huge armies broke out of their camps and moved south one after another, leaving thick tracks and animal hoof prints on the hard frozen soil.

Before leaving, Li Qingyan summoned his generals to hold a military meeting against the barbarians.

Although there is a lot to say, it can actually be simplified into three words.

Discover, catch up, destroy.

The most critical of these is the first discovery.

Just like the champion in the previous history, the difficulty is not winning the war, but finding the main force of the barbarians is rare.

Although the barbarian army has been winning battles under the leadership of the foreign king, its military strength is much weaker than when it detoured to the north and sealed the city to the south.

Li Qingyan went out of the city to attack the camp and killed a group of people, stormed Beifeng City and killed a group of people, and defeated the sect's army of 300,000 and killed a large number of people.

In Xu Yuan's words, although the barbarians are full of momentum, they have actually consumed more than half of their manpower.

The lack of manpower means that the barbarians can only win battles all the time, and win big, in order to complete the eternal feat of ants eating elephants. The wealthy Dayan Dynasty can lose, but as long as they win once, the barbarians will be doomed.

This is probably the tragedy of the strange king of the barbarians, or the entire barbarian tribe.

The day after breaking camp and heading south was very busy, but for Xu Yuan it was quite boring.

For the same reason, he, a layman and a layman, is not qualified to participate in the military.

However, Li Qingyan became so busy that he had no time to sleep with him.

A brand new day,

When Xu Yuan woke up from his sleep, he immediately saw Li Qingyan sitting at Jane's table opposite, looking at the military situation.

I guess this woman stayed up all night again.

After the war machine began to operate at high load, many matters required the commander-in-chief Li Qingyan to review and make decisions.

A good general is not just responsible for leading troops to fight.

She needs to review the marching speed and route of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people, communication with friendly forces, ordnance losses, and supplies delivered to the grassroots.

He sat up from the soft couch, rubbed his brows, and then opened the window curtain and looked outside.

The carriage was remodeled from a military baggage cart. It has a large interior space, which is larger than the two RVs in Xu Yuan's previous life.

Outside the beast chariot, all you can see are the Northern Feng troops wearing white armor.

More than a hundred Beifeng Guards riding tall demonic horses guarded the beast's chariot where the commander was. The armor was glowing with metallic luster. The friction of armor as the heavy armored soldiers walked sounded inexplicably hot. In the distance, a giant beast chariot filled with baggage was heard.

From time to time, it makes a low groan, leaving thick ruts on the ground.

Everything went on in an orderly manner on the way south.

However, compared to the bright sun when we set off, the clouds in the sky have condensed again at this moment, as if the essence of them will fall to the earth at any time.

Withdrawing his gaze, Xu Yuan looked at the red-armored woman in the carriage:

"Where are we now?"

Li Qingyan replied softly without raising his eyes:

"It's still about a hundred miles away from Beifeng City."

"Where are the barbarians?" Xu Yuan asked the question he was most concerned about.

Li Qingyan's Beifeng Army can be regarded as the vanguard of the coalition. If an encounter occurs, their vanguard will be the first to come into contact with the barbarians.

Li Qingyan shook his head gently:

"Nothing was found. I have arranged for flying scouts to cooperate with the sect's heavy cavalry to explore Beifeng City, but the Barbarian King seems to have simply abandoned Beifeng City."

Xu Yuan chuckled when he heard this:

"How can Beifeng City be defended when its northern wall has collapsed?"

Li Qingyan finally raised his eyes after hearing this, with a smile on his lips:

"You thought about it when you were going to blow up the city wall, right?"

Xu Yuan stood up and walked to the opposite side of the simple table in the car, took out a futon and sat down:

"No, I simply want to use the barbarians' swords to chop off the 300,000 elite members of the northern sects. And even if the northern city wall is still built, the barbarians will not defend Beifeng."

Li Qingyan gently put down the file in his hand and chuckled:

"Yes, if there is no Yunqi Bomb, the barbarians may take advantage of the blizzard and the weather to defend Beifeng. After all, with the help of the weather, they can attack the reinforcements outside the city at any time. But with the Yunqi Bomb, the barbarians will defend Beifeng and wait.

Die."

In the middle of speaking, Li Qingyan suddenly changed the topic and sighed:

"But the Barbarian King guessed that we didn't have many Yun Qi bombs, so he retreated into our Great Yan territory, hoping to wait for us to use up all the Yun Qi bombs."

A very simple inference,

If Dayan had enough Yunqi bombs, he would never be as cautious as he is now, just open the way with Yunqi bombs and run southward.

Thinking about this,

Xu Yuan didn't say anything, and casually picked up the report Li Qingyan put down and took a look at it.

It records some non-combat casualties last night. In short, it is the defeat of the sect and the fights that occurred between them.

After pondering for a while, Xu Yuan frowned and asked:

"The sect is dishonest?"

Li Qingyan replied nonchalantly:

"What happened during the handover of food and grass last night was that they thought there was too little food and grass, and the border troops knew very well that they were becoming cannon fodder for the Xing disciples. It is normal for some conflicts to occur under such emotions. But these are not important, as long as the food and grass are in hand

Here, the generals on the sect side will find a solution on their own."

Xu Yuan smiled dumbly:

"That's right. They don't know that their family is going to be gone. They are still a family. If they choose to rebel, it will give the court a reason to move them."

After a pause,

Xu Yuan turned around and asked:

"But now that we can't capture the main force of the barbarians, what are we going to do?"

Li Qingyan pursed his lips and smiled, then turned his eyes:

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Xu Yuan pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled:

"Lies."

Li Qingyan chuckled and touched the table with his long and delicate fingertips:

"Blocking the pass of Beifeng City, sending high-level cultivators and flying scouts to explore the mountains to prevent them from detouring back to the snowfields, and at the same time arranging the sect's heavy cavalry to go to the territory to find them, will trap the barbarians in the territory of Dayan."

Xu Yuan thought briefly after hearing the words:

"Now the northern border is frozen by a heavy snowstorm. Except for the cities in the northern border and the castles built by some landlords and gentry outside the city, the people in the villages and towns outside are either frozen to death or have fled. The natural strong walls are clear and the wilderness is barbaric.

If you dare to attack the city for food, you will expose your position."

Li Qingyan stared at her and said with a smile:

"What you said is right, Prince Consort, but unfortunately it's a lie."

"."Xu Yuan.

"Prince-in-law, do you want to know what the truth is?"

"I don't want to." Xu Yuan had a bad feeling, so don't start.

Li Qingyan raised his hand and used Yuan Qi to break Xu Yuan's head back:

"I think you want to."

Sighing, Xu Yuan looked at her bright eyes and asked:

"Why?"

"The scouts sent near Beifeng City came with news that the corpses of the sect's frontier soldiers, the corpses of the barbarians, and even the three-headed ice beast giant statue only had half of its body left."

As he spoke, Li Qingyan narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered: "Consort, how long do you think the barbarians can survive on these "food and grass"?"

The corners of Xu Yuan's eyes twitched and he was silent for a long time:

"It seems that the Barbarian King has been transporting "food" during the free period in the past few days."

Li Qingyan took a deep breath and then exhaled, his tight chest not rising or falling:

"That barbarian king is really smart. At the end of the war, he was already planning to use the stolen "food" to spend it with us. There is such an army hidden in my territory of Dayan.

We simply don’t dare to transport grain northward on a large scale, so we can only rely on Xumijie for supplies, which we can’t afford.”

Speaking of this, Li Qingyan clenched his fists slightly:

"Moreover, my father and the others also need the Northern Feng Army and the Black Scale Army to participate in the annihilation of the Northern Sect. The longer the delay, the greater the risk of exposure."
