After eating a hearty breakfast, the Xiao cavalry army rode their horses and headed southwest. scale

Yesterday they ran to the north of Feiyingwei in order to intercept the coalition forces of the northern tribes in advance, and now they have to run back again!

However, the soldiers definitely have no objections. They have to pass through Feiyingwei when they return to Zhenman City, so how could they have any objections.

Ma Teng was riding on the horse, thinking about how to fight the battle when he arrived at Feiyingwei.

It must be the easiest to go back to Zhenman City after turning around.

But Ma Teng didn't want to do that.

It seems that the Xiaocai Army is too useless.

He didn't even dare to attack the market towns of the barbarians, and Ma Teng would be ashamed to say that. scale

However, it is not possible to cause too many casualties to the Xiaocai Army in order to attack Feiyingwei.

How to balance it depends on his ability as a commander.

Is Ma Teng's ability poor?

As long as he is willing to think seriously, he will be able to win the battle of Feiying Siege.

Now Ma Teng is thinking about whether it is necessary to fight this battle.

The barbarian's encirclement and annihilation plan was actually partially successful.

It is a very good plan to use the advantage of troops to consume the Xiaocavalry Army. scale

The losses of the Xiaocavalry Army in these few battles were not small. After the 30,000 Xiaocavalry Army fought a few battles with the Di tribe and the barbarians, there were still 25,000 warriors left to fight.

Counting the fighters who can still go to the battlefield after recovery, there is still a gap of more than 3,000 in the Xiaocai Army.

This gap is not so easy to fill.

There is no shortage of fighters, but there is a big gap in the imperial horses!

Many domestic projects are in the second half, and His Majesty will definitely devote most of the resources to these projects.

The military pressure on the Qian State is not great. As long as Yang Yuan does not continue to fight abroad, other countries will not launch troops against the Qian State within two or three years.

They also need time to prepare for war against dry nations. scale

Yang Yuan's rise was too fast, they didn't know anything about the fact that the Qian Kingdom had been established, and when they were about to learn about the Qian Kingdom, the several major legions of the Qian Kingdom beat them up and ran away.

After finally blocking the attack of the Gan army and repelling them, it is too late to restore the counties and counties destroyed by the Gan army. How could it be possible to counterattack directly?

In case the attack does not go well, and the dry army takes advantage of the situation to counterattack and enter the country again, who will bear the responsibility?

Even if someone bravely stood up, he couldn't afford it!

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. If you start a war without knowing the basic information of the enemy, are you out of your mind?

Even a fatuous monarch would not issue such an order.

Yang Yuan won a lot of time for the peaceful development of Qianguo, and he will definitely not order to waste the precious time of these two years! scale

The casualties of the Xiaocavalry may not be replenished at one time, but will be replenished slowly in several batches.

This is unacceptable to Ma Teng.

It's fine if you don't expand the army, and don't even make up for the casualties. Your Majesty, if you are really doing this, don't blame me for continuing to send you a letter every day!

The move of the deadly chain letter is very useful.

Even if Yang Yuan asked others to handle it, he would be annoyed by Ma Teng.

If he is not annoying, the ministers in the kingdom will be annoying too!

More than 3,000 casualties were enough to make Ma Teng and Yang Yuan feel heartbroken. The casualties of the imperial war horses were smaller than those of the Xiao cavalry soldiers, which made Ma Teng more confident in asking His Majesty to make up for the Xiao cavalry. scale

But his plan is doomed to fail, Yang Yuan will give him at most a thousand imperial horses, and there is no limit to the number of warriors.

Ma Teng didn't know that Yang Yuan had set a supplementary quota for the Xiaocavalry Army, but he knew that the casualties of the Xiaocavalry Army were already very high, and there would definitely be a vacancy no matter how big it was!

So it seems that the battle of Feiyingwei can not be fought.

Just retreating directly made Ma Teng a little reconciled. If he seized the opportunity, he could lead the Xiaocavalry to fight a battle with almost no casualties.

"It depends on whether the barbarians give them a chance!"

Ma Teng led the Xiao cavalry army to Feiyingwei. He speculated that this operation would probably not have much results.

Because the barbarian commander in Flying Eagle Siege is now Batur. scale

Although Batur has been defeated repeatedly, as long as the Golden Eagle Khan does not withdraw his position as commander-in-chief or deprive him of the title of Marquis of Wanhu, everyone in Feiyingwei will obey him.

Batur was too stable, no matter what tricks Ma Teng used, it was impossible to lure him out.

Ma Teng himself knew that this trip to Feiyingwei would most likely fail, but he still wanted to go to Feiyingwei until the last moment.

What if?

Everything is just in case, what if Batur's brain is stimulated by the energy of repeated defeats after he arrives at Feiyingwei, and he wants to come out and meet the Valiant Cavalry Army?

As a result, nothing unexpected happened. Batur immediately ordered everyone in the market town to participate in the defense of Feiying Wai after he entered Feiying Wai.

"Whether men, women or children in the market town, all join in the construction of the city wall, use all available materials, if not enough, demolish some houses, and must complete the reinforcement of the city wall before the arrival of the Valiant Cavalry!" Scale

In addition to strengthening the city wall, Batur also dug many bowl-sized horse pits outside the Flying Eagle Wai, and arranged a lot of repelling horses and sundries at the city gate, just to stop the charge of the Xiaocai army.

These methods were used by the people of the southern countries to deal with them in the past. Now that the offensive and defensive trend has changed, they have to learn from it to deal with the Xiaocai army.

Hope it works!

Batur did everything possible to make the Flying Eagles safer, which helped to increase his sense of security.

A commander who lacks a sense of security cannot make correct decisions.

Batur was full of fear, but he knew that he had to make no mistakes in every step in order to survive.

He must overcome fear. scale

People who are really afraid of death are very rational~lightnovelpub.net~ because they know that panic will make them lose their lives faster.

In order to save his life, Batur grew into a defensive master.

Even if Ma Teng went outside Feiying Wai, he couldn't find anything wrong with Feiying Wai's defense.

He didn't plan to attack Feiyingwei, so he didn't know how good the barbarian soldiers on the thin city wall were in defense, and they probably couldn't match their offensive capabilities.

The Flying Eagle Siege at this time should be just a paper tiger that looks tight on the outside, and the barbarian warriors defending the city wall are still not good at defending the city.

Batur can change the city walls surrounded by flying eagles, but he cannot change the souls of the barbarian warriors.

They have never defended the city before, and now they are suddenly asked to defend the city without abandoning the city and fleeing. scale

In the hearts of many barbarian warriors, the grassland is the safest place, and the city surrounded by Feiying will trap them to death here.

Part of their thinking was correct. If Ma Teng didn't care about casualties and stormed Feiying Siege, then the city wall of Feiying Siege could only trap them to death.

But now Ma Teng didn't intend to slap this hedgehog who seemed to have a sharp mouth, so that the barbarians hiding inside could escape by chance.

Ma Teng wandered outside Feiying for a long time, but did not find an opportunity to attack, so he led his troops south, preparing to return to Zhenman City.

At night, the Flying Eagle enclosure is brightly lit.

In order to prevent being attacked by the Valiant Cavalry Army, Batur ordered hundreds of braziers to be lit outside the city with precious oil, and anyone who was within a hundred meters of the city wall would be found.

Ma Teng was still awake a dozen miles away from Feiying, and he was waiting for the information brought back by Tanqi. scale

Soon, Tanqi came back and told Ma Teng all about Feiyingwei.

Ma Teng sighed, "Oh! Batur never thought about coming out, go and rest, we will return to Zhenman City tomorrow!"
