Li Langzuo stayed in Barasagon for only one night, and left early the next morning; Before leaving, Li Liangzuo also left a town of soldiers and horses waiting in Basala Roll, and as the political, military, and cultural center of the Black Khan Dynasty, Li Liangzuo would not give up no matter what, and 3,000 soldiers and horses stayed behind to say that it was not too much, and it was not too much to say less.
After leaving the city of Barasagon City, Li Liangzuo led 7,000 soldiers of the guard battalion to the Honghe defense line, although the Xia army did not currently master the various cities in the northeast of the Black Khan Dynasty, but for the safety of the rear road of the army The Xia army left soldiers and horses in each city, the Xia army had a total of 650,000 troops in the north and south at the beginning of the western expedition, and finally the main force of the Xia army led by Li Liangzuo was divided into the middle route army and the southern route army, and the 100,000 army of the south road was led by the acting king Li Bingchang to garrison Khotan, and went out to stay in the soldiers and horses of the various cities of the Black Khan Dynasty.
Li Liangzuo's real remaining soldiers and horses in the Honghe defense line were only 350,000, and Li Liangzuo left almost half of the soldiers and horses to guard the grain road.
In the next three months, Li Liangzuo led the Xia army in the Honghe defense line did not advance a single step, hundreds of miles away from the Honghe defense line in the city of Samad, the army of the Seljuk Empire, under the leadership of the Seljuk Sultan Malikshah, stormed the city of Samma, of course, the attack is not every day, the Serbian army according to the strategy specified by Maliksha is mainly to besiege, the purpose of this is to consume the grain and grass in the city and the will to fight of the black army, and the second is to encircle the point to send reinforcements.
In order to prevent the Xia army from coming to the rescue of Malikshah, he transferred a considerable part of his troops to the communication artery between the Xia army's Honghe defense line and Suleiman's besieged army, and Maliksha planned to use the black army as a bait to attract the Xia army to the area west of the Hong River to annihilate it; However, Li Liangzuo had no intention of rescuing Suleiman from the beginning, so the strategy of Mariksha's encirclement to send reinforcements failed.
Outside the city of Samad and inside the camp of the Serbian army.
The Seljuk Sultan Maliksha sat on the handsome chair, Malikshah's mood was not very good recently, according to the initial strategy, the Serbian army did not reach the initial strategic goal, according to the strategic plan formulated by Maliksha at the beginning, the Serbian army at this time had occupied the city of Sammad, and broke through the Honghe defense line in one fell swoop to kill the Black Khan's Horde Balasagon in the past, but the plan could never catch up with the change, Maliksha made a mistake, Maliksha never thought that the Black Khan Dynasty would have reinforcements.
"You all tell me where this Xia army came from and why you want to help the Black Khan Dynasty" "Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, this so-called Xia army is not actually here to help the Black Khan Dynasty, on the contrary, they are here to snatch the fruits of victory; As far as Wei Chen knows, this so-called Xia army should come from the east of the Black Khan Dynasty, and there is a powerful empire in the east of the Black Khan Dynasty, they have a vast territory, and the Silk Road is where they are; As far as Wei Chen knows, the supreme ruler of this Great Xia Empire is the emperor, a middle-aged man in his thirties, this person has great ambitions, and has been leading the Xia army to expand and invade everywhere, Wei Chen thinks that our army and the Xia army will have a battle sooner or later, and this battle will be related to the belonging of the entire Western Regions."
"The battle with the Xia army does not have to be too early, and this battle should last for a long time, before that, we must be fully prepared, and order the army to storm the city of Samad from tomorrow, and take the city of Samad to me within ten days at all costs."
"Obedience" Inside the camp of the Xia army on the east bank of the Hong River.
Li Liangzuo is sitting alone in the big account of the Chinese army to study the art of war, unconsciously the Xia army has been staying here for three months, in this three-month period, in addition to patrolling, the soldiers of the Xia army are training, every once in a while the officers at all levels of the Xia army will also organize soldiers and horses to go out hunting, and the grassland area in the east of the Honghe River has become the hunting ground of the Xia army.
"Report, report, report Your Majesty, the Serbian army has moved."
"It's called" "Back to Your Majesty, except for a small number of soldiers and horses to alert us, the vast majority of the Serbian army is storming the city of Samad Castle."
As soon as the sentry finished reporting, Li Wu hurriedly walked in, Li Wu saluted after seeing Li Liangzuo and said: "Father, the son has received the news that the Serbian army is storming the city of Samad, this is a golden opportunity for us, the son thinks that we should immediately send troops to cross the Hong River, and the black army in the city of Samad will give the Serbian army a two-sided attack, so that our army will win" "When you're done, go back and do what you need to do."
"Father, my hundreds of thousands of troops have been staying along the Honghe River for several months, and the daily consumption of grain and grass is huge, if I don't send troops, I am afraid that it will affect morale."
"If the shadow doesn't affect morale, you don't count, you are not the commander of the Western Expeditionary Legion now, when you become this commander, all this is up to you."
"The son has no words, and he also asks his father to atone for his sins."
"Wu'er, you have to remember that as a monarch of a country, you have to be responsible for your own country, you have to be responsible for your own army, and you have to be responsible for thousands of people, at this time, a large-scale war with the Serbian army, the Serbian army will definitely give up attacking the city of Samad and turn to a heavy army to fight against us, once the decisive battle at this time our army will inevitably increase a lot of unnecessary casualties, so this is not the best time for us to march."
"Erchen understood" "But you can't fight a decisive battle, it's okay to have a small-scale contact battle, just take this opportunity to see how the combat strength of the Serbian army is" "Father, let Erchen lead the troops to go, Erchen will ensure that the task is completed" Li Liangzuo glanced at Li Wu and said, "You go to beat the drums and gather the generals, and call all the generals to the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss matters." ” "Knock, knock, knock" With the sound of war drums, all the senior generals of the Xia Army in the main camp arrived, including Li Wu, Li Chahan, Feng Frame, Hua Ma and Mu Zheng, etc., after everyone arrived, Li Liangzuo said: "Presumably you have also got the news, I won't say much nonsense, this time the troops are a tentative attack, so there are not many soldiers and horses needed, and you don't have to go; I decided to send Li Wu, Li Chahan, Hua Ma and Mu Zheng to go, and the three of you will lead 10,000 light cavalry, not to gather together after crossing the Honghe, but to disperse and fight, and to leave after the battle is over, and not to entangle with them, first test the combat effectiveness of the Serbian army; I give you three days, no matter what the result is after three days, you must come back to return to your life, otherwise you will be all killed in my place, no matter how the battle is fought, I will have the last result, after the three of you come back, each of you needs to submit a detailed analysis of the combat strength of the Serbian army to me, if anyone thinks it can't be completed, you can say in advance that you don't have to participate in this operation, I send someone else to go. ” "The last general will obey His Majesty's Shengyu" After the three of them received the military order, they immediately ran away, lest Li Liangzuo suddenly regret it, the most important thing for a general is to go to the battlefield to lead the troops to kill the enemy, in the eyes of the general, the battlefield is reputation, military exploits, titles and wealth, if a general is not even qualified to go to the battlefield, then he is not worthy of being a general
