Ge Shuhan didn't know that a conspiracy against himself was brewing, at this time Ge Shuhan was still actively preparing for the fierce attack of the Xia army, for Ge Shuhan, as long as he could resist the first round of attacks of the Xia army, then the Nai Barbarian army would be able to regain the confidence of the battle, so the first battle was very important for the Nai Barbarian army, and it was also equally important for the Xia army, if the Xia army lost the first battle, even if the Xia army won in the end, it would definitely suffer heavy losses.
Ge Shuhan came to the open space in front of the big camp, here will become the front line of the big war in the future, the barbarian army camp is stationed on the mountain, condescending in a very favorable defensive position, as long as the thunder stone rolling wood is used to hold this mountain road, even if there are more Xia troops can not attack, it can be said that Ge Shuhan has built the entire barbarian army camp into a strong fortress, if the Xia army launches a fierce attack, it is bound to suffer heavy losses.
In the camp of the Xia army under the mountain, Li Yanzong, Li Xiaoren, and Li Chahan each commanded the soldiers and horses of their headquarters to block all the passages down the mountain, and the four of them, including Li Bingchang, were discussing the military situation; Now that the Naiman army has been surrounded by the Xia army, for the Xia army, what to do now is to rush up the mountain and chop up the Naiban army on the mountain.
"Now our strength is nearly twice that of the Naiman army, and the morale of our army is high, it is very easy to destroy the Naiban army in one go."
Li Chahan said to Li Yanzong.
Li Yanzong agreed: "Yes, now that the war has been going on for more than two months, there is not much time left for us by His Majesty, we must destroy the main force of the barbarian army, and then move westward to control the entire western grassland in the shortest possible time, otherwise I am afraid that there will be changes later."
Li Xiaoren continued: "According to intelligence, the Black Khan Dynasty is secretly gathering troops to the north, and it is very likely that they want to take advantage of the fire to loot. ” "In that case, then we will fight quickly, Xiaoren, Chahan, tomorrow the two of you will each lead your own troops and horses to attack from the left and right, and the commander will personally lead the main army to launch a strong attack from the front."
Li Yanzong issued a military order.
"No."
Li Bingchang immediately objected: "Our army must not attack rashly, otherwise it will surely suffer heavy losses." ” "Why did Your Highness say that," Li Xiaoren asked Li Bingchang with some displeasure.
Li Bingchang immediately replied: "Our army is mainly cavalry, and we are not good at attacking fortified positions; Moreover, the enemy army occupies an absolutely advantageous position, if our army launches an attack, after all, all of them are exposed to the enemy's attack range, and then we will be completely in a situation of being passively beaten, and the scope of our army's attack is too narrow, our army will attack the anti-nest forces on all fronts, and the gains outweigh the losses."
Hearing Li Bingchang say this, Li Yanzong, Li Xiaoren and Li Bingchang's faces were very ugly, after all, Li Bingchang was a junior in the army, and he was just two people who observed and studied, to put it bluntly, he was a rookie egg, and being able to participate in such an important military meeting was already giving Li Bingchang face, if Li Bing was interesting, he should not say anything; But now that Li Bingchang has said everything, isn't this just a slap in the face of the three battlefield veterans "Although His Highness is reasonable, His Highness is too tender after all, and tomorrow's battle will still proceed according to the original plan."
Li Yanzong said with a dark face.
Li Bingchang didn't know that his kindness had offended the three people in front of him, and with the development of this matter, it even directly affected Li Bingchang's future path, and even affected the court of the entire Great Xia Kingdom.
The next day, the war broke out as promised, the Xia army's attack was very difficult, and almost all of them were Li Bing's words, on the road of the Xia army's attack, the thunder stone fell from the sky, the rain of arrows in the sky made the Xia army's losses very heavy, in the face of the fierce attack of the barbarian army, Li Yanzong did not order a retreat, but continued to attack, the result is obvious that the Xia army is basically completely in a passive situation, the Xia army lost nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses in one day, and the loss of the barbarian army was less than 2,000 people.
Li Yanzong's heart is dripping blood, these may be the elite of the Xia army, and they are all warriors who can be ten on the grassland, and now they are lost in vain at the foot of this nameless mountain, and the Xia army was beaten in disgrace after a big battle, Li Yanzong, Li Xiaoren and Li Bingchang returned to the big tent with gloomy faces.
Li Yanzong asked the two: "You two talk about it, what will we do next?"
A flash of sharp light flashed in Li Chahan's eyes and said: "Night attack, tonight I led the elite troops to launch a night attack on the Nabarian army, even if I can't break through the enemy camp, I have to avenge the brothers who died in the battle during the day today." ” "Okay, that's it."
Li Yanzong finally clapped his head and said; "Chahan, you immediately go and choose the dead, bury the pot and make food, and I will personally lead the army to meet you at the foot of the mountain tonight."
"The last general commands."
Richard took the order and left.
After Li Chahan left, Li Yanzong sat on the handsome chair and closed his eyes to recall the picture of today's daytime; On the battlefield in front, the knights of the Xia army launched a fierce attack on foot, shouting loud slogans in their mouths, but they fell in rows on the way to charge, Li Yanzong knew that the army suffered such huge losses, even if he won the victory in the end, Li Liangzuo could not spare him, but Li Yanzong couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, because if he couldn't storm this mountain, the myth of the Xia army's invincibility would be broken.
When night fell, Li Bingchang did not rest, but walked around the camp, Li Bingchang already knew the results of today's day, looking at the wilted soldiers, Li Bingchang's heart was full of worry, Li Bingchang asked himself in his heart If the barbarian army on the mountain rushed down at this time, would they be able to block the enemy's attack with their appearance Just when Li Bingchang was thinking, several soldiers ran past Li Bingchang, and Li Bingchang stopped a person and said, "Stop, what are you doing here?"
"General Anbei is gathering the dead, and tonight he is preparing to attack the barbarian army at night to avenge the dead brothers, and there will be no quota if he goes late."
After the soldier finished speaking, he immediately chased after him.
"Hey," Li Bingchang sighed and shook his head; "I don't know how many soldiers will die tonight under this nameless mountain."
In fact, Li Bingchang already had a set of combat plans to deal with the barbarian army in his heart, and Li Bingchang told Li Yanzong about it, but Li Yanzong, who was eager for quick success, couldn't listen to it at all; If Li Bingchang's battle plan is implemented, perhaps the Xia army will lose much less.
In fact, Li Bingchang's battle plan is very simple, that is, to besiege without attacking, and finally achieved the goal of surrendering the army without a fight; 100,000 troops stationed on this mountain, every day people eat horses and chew is a lot of money, even if there is a water source on the mountain, it will not kill the barbarian army to death, but as long as the road into the mountain is blocked, cut off the grain and grass of the barbarian army, in the long run, the barbarian army's grain and grass will be exhausted, and then the Xia army can easily achieve victory.
But Li Yanzong couldn't wait, because there were not a few days left before the time specified by Li Liangzuo, and Li Yanzong had to hand in a satisfactory answer to Li Liangzuo before the time arrived.
Thanks to the three recommendations of Yu Yan and Lu Mozhu, Tianyu is grateful:
