Chapter 1189 Being Dragged to Death [Please Subscribe*Please Pass the Monthly Ticket]

"Those docks!"

The King of Dayuezhi finally discovered the problem.

Before, he thought that the Western Regions had more contact with Bingzhou Huaxia and learned how to build forts and practice the strategy of clearing the countryside.

Now he understood that the purpose of those docks was not to resist them, but to monitor their movements!
"Fortress!" The Prime Minister of Dayuezhi also reacted.

These forts appeared too abruptly and were easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if they wanted to attack, they were not worth attacking because they were established too briefly.

Even if they attacked, they would only suffer heavy casualties, so as long as the Western Region soldiers inside did not come out and interfere with them, they would not bother to pay attention to them.

No one expected that these forts would become their death warrant.

However, even if they discovered the problem, there was nothing they could do.

The forts themselves are easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is impossible for them to attack the forts just to remove these eyes.

What's more, Luo Bing's army was following them from behind and harassing them, giving them no chance to capture these forts.

"Turn around and fight them!" King Dayuezi knew that this couldn't go on any longer.

They have already entered the game, and it is impossible for them to leave the battlefield set up for them by Luo Bing before being completely devoured.

Now their only way to break the impasse is to find the main force of Luo Bing while the morale of the army is at its high and before Luo Bing has assembled all the troops, and engage in a decisive battle with them, in order to fight for a glimmer of hope of survival!
"Have you reacted yet?"

Standing on a high place, Luo Bing chuckled as he watched the changes in the Dayuezhi camp.

decisive battle?

nonexistent!

Now that the initiative is in my hands, I can easily defeat the opponent, so why should I confront him head-on?
"Prepare the kerosene, and evacuate the army!" Luo Bing led the army out of the battlefield overnight under the protection of Xue Guang.

On the second day, when the vanguard of the Great Yuezhi broke into the camp left by the Luo soldiers, they found that the Luo soldiers had already left.

However, because the severe cold obscured the smell of the flaming oil, and the baggage camp was destroyed, the vanguard camp still rushed into the main camp and tried to find as much edible food and possible weapons and equipment as possible.

"After all these years, this thing is still so useful!" The captain who was left in the distance lighting the flaming oil and setting fire to the company's camp sighed.

Originally, they did not think that Dayuezhi would fall into the trap, but they did not expect that Dayuezhi had been so desperate that they still broke in even though they guessed it was a trap.

"Swoosh~" The sharp sound of arrows was heard, and arrows with blazing flames instantly covered the entire camp like a star rain.

"Boom~" the rocket landed and ignited the kerosene buried in it. In this dry winter, the fire could not be stopped at all.

What made the Great Yuezhi vanguard even more desperate was that two huge Vermillion Birds also flew towards them in their sight. Brown pottery jars kept falling from the sky and hit the soldiers in an instant. The black kerosene could not be washed off and instantly burned them into firemen.

The animal skin coats used to keep out the cold also became their death warrant.

"Retreat!" After doing all this, the Bingzhou Blood Cavalry who were left behind jumped on their horses without any desire to fight and evacuated the scene.

When the main force of Dayuezhi arrived, they saw a sea of ​​fire. Only one in ten soldiers in the vanguard camp was alive, and even those who survived were severely burned.

"Kill!" King Dayuezi gritted his teeth and ordered.

The rule on the grassland in winter is that only the young and strong are qualified to survive.

These injured soldiers would only hinder them, so it was impossible for them to pursue Luo Bing's main force with these wounded soldiers.

The consequence of leaving them here is that they will be killed by the Westerners in the surrounding forts.

Therefore, King Dayuezi chose to let them die in their own hands as a final farewell. "What a cruel, brutal grassland law!" The scouts who stayed behind were shocked by Dayuezhi's behavior and were glad that they lived in Bingzhou.

"Don't hurt the soldiers!" In the central army, Luo Bing also received the message from the rear and sighed. Although it is said that a kind person cannot be in charge of an army, and King Dayuezi's approach is right, he can understand it, but he still cannot accept it.

Disability is a soldier’s honor, not a death warrant.

"Let's go around in circles with them!" Luo Bing didn't plan to run too far. If these inhuman creatures really rushed out of the battlefield he had set, then all his previous efforts would be in vain.

"Tell Luo Shang to speed up, it's so slow to clear out these miscellaneous soldiers!" Luo Bing ordered his deputy general to speed up the clearance of the rest of the Dayuezhi and come to join him.

Luo Bing led a large army to lead the main force of Dayuezhi to circle outside the borders of Bactria.

Although the Great Yuezhi had the advantage in numbers, their logistical supplies and baggage camps had been destroyed, and the Luo soldiers took away the supplies and food that originally belonged to the Great Yuezhi.

Therefore, if this situation continues, the first one to collapse will be the Great Yuezhi.

After another three days, the Dayuezhi had to kill their war horses to satisfy their hunger.

Fortunately, it is winter and there is snow that can be turned into water for them to drink.

Otherwise, water shortage will be more serious than food shortage.

Luo Bing also made up his mind not to fight a decisive battle with the opponent, and wanted to drag the opponent to death.

"Surrender!" Looking at the hungry soldiers all over the ground, the Prime Minister of Dayuezhi uttered the rebellious words.

"You're surrendering without even seeing the enemy's main force?" The King of Dayuezhi looked at the noble tribal leaders who filled the tents.

They had never imagined that the war would turn out like this.

They could lose to Luo Bing and Bingzhou Blood Cavalry, but that was after a head-on fight.

But now they haven't even seen Luo Bing's main force, and they are being dragged down by the logistical supplies.

Obviously, Luo Bing had traveled a longer distance than them, but he was able to obtain a large amount of supplies by capturing their baggage camp and cutting off their food supply.

As one side gained strength while the other lost, they were not even qualified to fight the other side.

Frustration and endless frustration are the helplessness of Dayuezhi today.

The prime minister of Dayuezhi and the tribal leaders all lowered their heads and did not look at King Dayuezi.

The King of Dayuezhi surrendered, so Bingzhou would only kill King Dayuezi, and split up the royal court tribe instead of them. In order to occupy the territory of Dayuezhi, Bingzhou might even continue to use them to govern the place.

"Do you think you can survive by surrendering?" The King of Dayuezhi also guessed what these people were thinking, but he chuckled, thinking they were too naive.

"Under the Beiye Royal City, there is still a royal flag that belongs to our Great Yuezhi Kushan, and there is no tribal flag under the royal flag. Do you think these Bingzhou soldiers who have gone on a long expedition will be satisfied?"

The King of Dayuezhi looked around and realized that no one knew Bingzhou better than him. He also knew that Bingzhou, which also practiced military merit and honor, would not allow them to surrender.

Even if Luo Bing accepted their surrender, what about the soldiers under his command?

We crossed the Tianshan Mountains in the heavy snow and marched a long distance, just to surrender?

too naive.

Even if Luo Bing is willing, he also has to consider the thoughts of his soldiers.
