In the middle of the moon, the front city of Taowaola.

The Mao army quickly arrived at the front line. Gao Baolong and Hu Jiayong and other commanders visited the Mao army and reported the latest battle situation. The small towns, fortresses and tents in various places have been captured, and now there is only one Wulahai City left. The Khitan army and the Hulien Selected Front Army who came in advance were both horse soldiers. Although Yelu Mage had plans to attack the city, he had to wait for the support of the Hulien Infantry because of the lack of siege tools.

"Where are the reinforcements in Xixia?" Mao Jun asked immediately after hearing Gao Baolong's introduction.

"Our scouts have penetrated more than 100 miles southwest of Langshan, but no reinforcements from the Dangxiang people have appeared so far." Gao Baolong replied, "During this period, we had several encounters with the Dangxiang people's scout team, but no enemy troops have appeared except that."

Mao Jun frowned slightly and his eyes turned to the map.

In the front, Xixia had the Heishan Weifu Army Division, which was the capital of Wulahai City. In the north of Helan Mountain, there was the Baimaqiang Town Army Division, which was the capital of Lou Bobei; in the right wing, the Shun Army Division, which was the capital of Keyimen. After passing the Keyimen, you will enter the Helan Mountain boundary, and travel another 400 miles to Xingqing Prefecture, so these three military supervisors are all the defensive forces in the northeast of Xixia.

The Weifu Army of the Black Mountain is close to the border and is the first defense. The Red Bull Desert is a natural barrier and belongs to the second defense. The Baima Qiang Town and the Right Chaushun belongs to the third defense. As long as the Keyi Gate is conquered, the defenses of the entire northeast of Xixia will be completely destroyed.

From the Wulahai City in the front to the Keyimen of the Right Chau Chao Shun Army, there are three roads. One is to go west to Langshan and enter the grassland, then turn southwest. First, you reach the Baimaqiang Town Army, then you arrive at the Right Chau Chao Shun Army, and then enter Helan Mountain. This road is the best way to go, but the distance is the longest, at least 1,400 miles; the other is to go to the southwest foot of Langshan and enter along the edge of the Red Bull Desert. This road is basically a Gobi desert, and the road is difficult to walk, about 1,000 miles; there is also the nearest road, about 700 miles, that is, walk along the Yellow River and cross the Red Bull Desert directly. This road is too difficult and dangerous. Large-scale attacks are not considered because of the huge amount of food and supplies.

"Mao Shuai, in my opinion, the reinforcements of the Dangxiang people will not come." Gao Baolong walked to Mao Jun and shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Just last time, the Dangxiang people's strategy to defend against the enemy was to lure the enemy deep. The reinforcements of the Baimaqiang Town and the Right Chaushun rushed to the front, not only were they long and consumed, but they also traveled thousands of miles in a hurry and were exhausted. In comparison, luring us to Helan Mountain was equivalent to turning passive into initiative. In fact, we took on the Dangxiang people to bear all the adverse conditions, so they had no need to support them at all, just wait for the troops in Helan Mountain.

Mao Jun shook his head and remained silent. The military commanders in the tent looked solemn and said nothing, and the atmosphere seemed very depressing.

The two years ago, when the Tiger Lieutenant Army fought against the Western Xia, they dared to move when they reached the front condom. There was no way to move. This battle is too difficult to fight.

From Wulahai City to Keyimen, more than a thousand miles. In order to ensure the safety of the food and supplies, the army could not go too fast. It would take at least twenty days. Then attack Baimaqiang Town and attack Youxiang Chaoshun. These two places are located between the northern foot of the Helan Mountains and the grassland Gobi Desert. The terrain is complex and dangerous. There are many cities and forts. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. This distance is about four hundred miles. It takes at least one or two months to fight along the way. Then the last pass in the northeast of Xixia, the Keyimen.

The Xixia people will defend the enemy with heavy troops. Both sides will definitely have to fight to consume. In other words, no matter whether they can conquer the Keyi Gate, it will take more than two months or even more than three months to attack the Keyi Gate. If it takes another one or two months to attack the Keyi Gate, then the Hulie Army spent almost half a year. After spending a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, basically nothing was obtained.

This foreseeable reality is cruel. The generals of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army lack confidence in this. Although the cultivation and training over the past year have increased the strength of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army, in the face of bloody battles to come, this increase in strength has no meaning.

Gao Baolong approached Mao Jun and whispered in his ear: "Ship Mao. The attack order came too suddenly. Most of the generals were confused. I don't know why the general generals wanted to tear up the covenant with the Xixia people and land. The third attack on Xixia. Many people think that we have no chance of winning in this battle. We should not fight. There is no need to fight."

"So it's better to have nothing." Mao Jun smiled and said in a low voice. "When we went south to break through the shore, which battle had a chance of winning? But we all won. Now we have territory, money, and food and clothing. The courage in the past was gone. I dared not fight anymore. I don't fight now. I don't increase my own strength. What can we use to protect the existing territory and money?"

Gao Baolong frowned slightly, not like Mao Jun's tone. The reason why these military commanders were worried was because of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army. For Dai Bei, they also had good intentions. Where did the Tiger and Lieutenant Army come from when Dai Bei lost? Everyone understands this simple truth, but when they say this to Mao Jun, the military commanders seemed to have become a group of selfish cowards.

"Mao Shuai, we must explain the intention of the attack clearly and explain clearly..."

Mao Jun smiled faintly, "Do I know more than you?"

Gao Baolong choked up with a word from Mao Jun, and he also heard what Mao Jun said.

Then he stopped persuading each other and found a place to sit down. If there was no such battle, he would definitely lose.

Mao Jun walked around in front of the map, lowering his head to ponder. He didn't speak, and the people below dared not speak.

Among the four commanders of the Hulie Mansion, when it comes to prestige, Tyro Qinghan and Luo Qinghan are strong and powerful, and they are convinced by the strong; secondly, Dong Xiaochou, who is outstanding in talent, which makes people feel ashamed of himself; secondly, Mao Jun, who is powerful and deeply trusted by Li Hu, has always served as the commander of the Hulie Army. This strength is a fear. As for Tieying, it is a different matter. He is considered Li Hu's family, and his status is transcendent and incomparable.

Mao Jun is capable and has a smooth and flexible manner in dealing with people. Although everyone knows that he is cunning, it is impossible for you to find a handle for him to catch him if you have any problems. He doesn't offend anyone. He smiles all day long and looks kind and looks amiable. He doesn't know the details and thinks he is friendly. He understands him in a profound way. The more he smiles happily, the more shocking he makes people feel.

Now Mao Jundi had a smile on his face, and the smile patterns on the corners of his mouth looked gentle, but his eyes were not right, and there was a hint of murderous aura in his anger.

He rushed to the battlefield in a hurry, with the goal of ensuring that the Tiger and Lieutenant Army would not suffer any losses.

Without informing Hu Lie Mansion or even informing Yunnei garrison troops, Yelu Mage suddenly attacked Xixia and provoked the Han-Xia war, which made Hu Lie Mansion very passive. Fortunately, Li Hu also had the idea of ​​feinting attack on Xi Xia, so this passive situation was quickly reversed. What is Yelu Mage's purpose is probably also guessed, but Yelu Mage's approach forced Hu Lie Mansion to find a way to solve Yelu Mage immediately and minimize the threat to Hu Lie Mansion. Yelu Mage dared to provoke the Han-Xia war this time and publicly coerced Hu Lie Mansion. Then next time he would dare to fight Datong and occupy the magpie's nest.

How did the Khitans solve it? Yelu Yanxi died, the Khitan royal family was captured by the Jurchens, Yelu Dashi usurped himself and was hated by them again. They suddenly lost the direction of the battle and didn't know where to go. If it weren't for the burning anger in their hearts supporting them to avenge them, the army might have fallen apart. These 50,000 people were a disaster, a disaster created by Li Hu himself.

Li Hu was confident that he would use this Western Expedition to gain the trust of the Khitans and take the army for his own use, but his confidence did not represent the confidence of the Hulie Mansion. The Hulie Mansion must formulate a complete set of strategies to weaken and control the Khitan army, and even destroy the Khitan army when necessary.

Dong Xiaochou formulated three strategies for this. The first was to use the Western Expedition to eliminate the Khitan Army, and the second was to weaken and control the Khitan Army. However, most of the civil and military officials in the center, including the Mao army, strongly advocated the elimination of the Khitan Army.

If you want to destroy the Khitan army, what about the Khitan army? When they decided to attack Xixia, did they not consider this consequence? Of course they would consider it and of course they were prepared.

Yelu Mage swept the front trap with lightning speed. He could have driven away the Xia army in Wulahai City, but he took the lead in surrounding Wulahai City and trapped 20,000 or 30,000 Xixia troops in the city. His purpose was very obvious, to ask the Tiger Lie Army to fight, so as to restrain the Tiger Lie Army and make the Tiger Lie Army unable to gather forces to attack and kill the Khitan Army, thus giving him time to bargain with Li Hu.

Mao Jun stopped and turned his eyes to the map again, intending to use the simplest language to tell the military commanders the most urgent problem at present.

After a while, he turned to look at the military commanders, coughed lightly a few times, and asked, "Do you know Yelu Ma Ge? Are you familiar with Yelu Yaris?"

There were many old subordinates of Yelu Mage in the tent, such as Gao Baolong, Abaddon, Hailasu (Amundin), Chu Xiaoyao, Tian Fu, Li Yuan and others, but they were all lower-level officers in the past. Gao Baolong and Abaddon were even surrendered generals in the Bohai Sea and could not contact commanders like Yelu Mage. So when Mao Jun asked this, everyone's heart suddenly felt that the battle in Wulahai City was far from as simple as imagined.

Mao Jun smiled slightly and briefly explained the concerns and countermeasures of Hu Lie Mansion.

"Now, our target is not Wulahai City, but Yelu Mage and the Khitan Army." Mao Jun said seriously, "We must make preparations, one is to take the initiative to attack the Khitan Army, and the other is to defeat the Khitan Army's attack."

The tent was silent. The military commanders rely on their wisdom to understand the decisions of the Hulie Mansion in the shortest time and understand this unpredictable battlefield. A moment ago, they were still fighting side by side with the Khitans. In a blink of an eye, they were about to turn against each other. This change was too fast, so fast that it was suffocating.

"The army retreated immediately and set up camp ten miles outside the city."

Retreat? The military commanders almost suspected that they had heard it wrong. Giving up the siege of Wulahai City at this moment does not mean telling the Khitans that the target of the Tiger Lieutenant Army suddenly changed? Could the Mao army be forced to attack?

"I want to see him in the book of the cumshot."
