Yelu Shenxuan's words revealed the huge problems that the Liao army had to face now.
Xiao Tiannan's expression became solemn when he heard this, and he said: "The food and grass available to the entire army now can only last for four days. Once all the food and grass are used up... then we will have to kill the horses to satisfy our hunger. Although we have a lot of reserves and the previous
The horses injured in the battle can still eat, but the problem is that the horses eat grass. If all the horses do not eat, it will have a huge impact on the combat effectiveness of our army."
The reason why cavalry is expensive lies largely in the horses.
War horses are much more expensive than people, and under the same conditions, the training cost of a war horse will be twice or even more than that of a soldier. That is to say, the Liao army has always grown up on horses, and they have no regard for horses.
Only when you know your temper well can you reduce the cost to the point where one war horse costs one and a half soldiers.
But no matter how familiar the Liao army is with war horses, it is natural for war horses to eat grass when they are hungry. If people can still feed themselves by killing those injured and reserved war horses, in this ice and snow, the war horses can really only watch helplessly.
They starve to death.
"Four days..."
Yelu Shenxuan exhaled and said in a deep voice: "If you work hard, you will either live or... go crazy."
Xiao Tiannan sighed softly and said no more.
In fact, both he and Yelu Shenxuan knew that it was not a wise choice to fight the Qin army in such an environment.
But these hundreds of thousands of Liao troops had no way of turning back, and so did Yelu Shenxuan.
Perhaps Yelu Shenxuan should have anticipated the situation before him when he made the decision to pursue him at Yueyang Pass.
But Yelu Shenxuan actually had no choice at that time...
The king of Langting Liao Kingdom is in danger and may return to the embrace of Changshengtian at any time. Yelu Shenxuan has no way to rush back immediately. What he can do now is to swallow the entire Gansu and Shaanxi. After he ascends the throne in the next spring, he will
Crescent Pass was used as the base point to annex the entire Qin State north of the Yellow River.
Only in this way can Yelu Shenxuan completely secure his throne.
Perhaps Yelu Shenxuan can also choose to return to Langting immediately to take over, but in that case, he will need a long time to sort out the conflicts in the country. When he truly takes control of the royal power and makes a comeback, what will the Qin State be like again?
What a situation?
To put it bluntly, Yelu Shenxuan didn't want to wait or give Qin a chance to turn around.
Xiao Tiannan suddenly asked: "Prince, are you afraid of Li Chen?"
This seemingly meaningless question made Yelu Shenxuan's eyes flash with worry. He turned to look at Xiao Tiannan seriously and said: "Li Chen is an extremely talented, ambitious and capable person. He is
The most outstanding person of his age I have ever seen, I can even say that if he had been born on the grassland, he would have been my most powerful enemy on the way to the throne."
Although he already knew it in his mind, Xiao Tiannan couldn't help but be a little shocked when he heard Yelu Shenxuan spoke so highly of Li Chen.
You must know that the person speaking these words in front of you is Yelu Shenxuan, the most outstanding prince and prince on the grassland for hundreds of years. He is the recognized successor to the throne. Among his dozens of brothers, not one of them even cares.
