Li Bingchang's indifference made Li Yanze feel frightened, it can be said that Li Bingchang's approach completely violated the principles set by Li Liangzuo at the beginning, but Li Yanze did not think that Li Bingchang was wrong to do this, on the contrary, Li Yanze admired Li Bingchang very much while being afraid, the most important thing as a commander is to be decisive, these wounded soldiers obviously can't live for long, rather than letting them drag others down half-dead, it is better to solve them all.
After the snowstorm stopped, Li Bingchang led the army to continue to set off, although the road was difficult, but Li Bingchang never gave up, this is an opportunity for Li Bingchang, but it is a test for the 100,000 Xia army, because before this, the Xia army has never marched on such a high altitude plateau, many soldiers have altitude sickness after entering the plateau, but they are still persevering.
In the Tocharian region, Li Wu and Hua Ma and Mu Zheng led more than 10,000 Xia cavalry have been hidden in the desert oasis not far from Tiemen Pass and Telmi, during this period, in order to solve the problem of feeding more than 10,000 people, Li Wu has repeatedly led the army across the desert to attack the Serbian army's logistics and grain routes, causing heavy losses to the Serbian army, because the Serbian army has more than 700,000 in the area north of Tiemen Pass, although it can solve a part of the grain and grass problem locally, but most of them still need the support of the Seljuk Empire, Therefore, this grain route is basically the lifeline of the Serbian army.
"Lord, what did the envoy sent by His Majesty say" Hua Ma and Mu Zheng asked Li Wu.
Li Wu looked at the map with his hands behind his back and said: "The envoy is indeed an envoy sent by my father, and the latest order of my father allows us to find a way to cut off the food supply of the Serbian army. ” "Cut off the grain road of the army" Hua Ma and Mu Zheng were very shocked and said: "Don't Your Majesty know our current situation, don't talk about cutting off other people's grain at this time, it's already very good that we can leave alive." ” "My father has already sent reinforcements, and we will need to cooperate in the battle when the time comes."
"Reinforcements, this is the hinterland of the Serbian army, how can Your Majesty send reinforcements here" "At first, this king couldn't figure out where his father would send reinforcements here, but just now this king felt that he should guess eight or nine."
"Please also ask the prince to make it clear."
"Two roads, one from the west and the other from the east; If from the west, the army needs to pass through the country of Khorezm, and then go down the Amu Darya River, and finally come to us; From the east, you need to cross the Green Ridge, and after crossing the Green Ridge, you need to reach here by the Ghaznavid Dynasty, but neither of these two roads is easy to take, and it is not clear which way the reinforcements will take now, and who will lead the troops. ” "Between the old ministers, it is very likely that the reinforcements will go to the green mountains."
"Why did the old general say this, please show the old general."
"If you come from the west, your majesty needs to draw troops from the frontal battlefield, but if you come from the east there is no problem; When His Majesty was attacking the Western Regions, he once sent His Royal Highness the Acting King to lead an army of 100,000 troops to Khotan, and I am afraid that he had already prepared for today. ” "Doesn't that mean that it is the king's eldest brother who has come to reinforce him."
Li Wu said earnestly.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Wu said to Hua Ma and Mu Zheng; "Old general, you and I must cut off the food routes of the Serbian army before the arrival of our army."
Although Li Wu did not say the reason, Hua Ma and Mu Zheng knew in their hearts that although Li Wu and Li Bingchang brothers have always had a good relationship, it is inevitable to compete and win, as the two grow older, the original brotherhood between the two is getting weaker and weaker, and they have become more rivals in competition, after all, the goal of the two is the same, they both want to ascend to the position of prince and become Li Liangzuo's successor, but there is only one position.
"Since the prince has an order, the last general will obey it."
"According to the news from the spies we bought, a large amount of grain and grass will be transported from Termi to the city of Samad tomorrow, and as long as we can rob this batch of grain and grass, we will definitely inflict heavy losses on the Serbian army."
"How much grain and grass is there?"
"About two million stones, if the Serbian army transports this batch of grain and grass to the front line, it can solve their grain and grass for at least a month, so this batch of grain and grass must be robbed."
"How is the prince going to fight this battle?"
"Sneak Attack" On the other side, since the war on the front line has basically stabilized, Maliksha has returned to the city of Samad and handed over all the things on the front line to the generals below, although the Serbian army is slightly inferior on the whole, but this does not make Maliksha worried, what really worries Maliksha is the supply of grain and grass, now the grain and grass stored in the city of Samad is only enough to maintain the army for ten days, and it takes at least eight days for the grain team to arrive at Samad City from Telmi, Now the only thing that Mariksha can count on is that the grain and grass will arrive on time.
"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged."
Sevic walked up to Maliksha and said.
Maliksha said to Sevic; "The importance of this batch of grain and grass does not need to be said, no need to say, no matter what, this batch of grain and grass must arrive as scheduled; The remnants of the Xia army who ran away from under our noses at the beginning will definitely try their best to destroy this batch of grain and grass, so that you will personally lead a group of soldiers and horses to meet them, and use this opportunity to annihilate all the remnants of the Xia army. ” "Yes, the last general commands."
Grain and grass are the lifeblood of the army no matter when and where, once there is no grain and grass, the army will quickly lose its combat effectiveness or even mutiny, so Maliksha must ensure that this batch of grain and grass can arrive as scheduled, otherwise Maliksha can only choose to shrink the defense line, in fact, the grain and grass of the Serbian army is not only enough for ten days, Samad Shan as the nest of the Serbian army in the Western Regions is the total grain and grass of the 700,000 Xia army, and there are grain and grass with the army in the front line, which can generally last for five to ten days, In addition, the Cypriot army also stored grain and grass in the rest of the cities, but these are not very many, and the total can only be used by 700,000 troops for a day; Therefore, in this way, the Serbian army can hold out for half a month at most without receiving supplies.
In addition, because of the importance of this batch of grain and grass, the Serbian army sent a lot of escort troops with more than 50,000 people, in addition to 50,000 people such as civilian logistics personnel, and the entire grain transportation team totaled more than 100,000 people, which shows the importance that the Serbian army attaches to this transportation, and Li Wuxiang wants to burn these two million stones, grain and grass with more than 10,000 cavalry, which is basically impossible.
Xijiacheng, Li Liangzuo has moved the camp of the Xia army here, although the Xia army has achieved a slight advantage in the frontal battlefield, but in order to obey the overall strategic progress, the Xia army is still retreating step by step to lure the enemy deeper, and now the front line of the Serbian army and the Xia army has been more than 100 miles away from the Xijiacheng, although the Serbian army looks like a large advance on the surface, but the actual casualties are greater than the Xia army, and with the eastward movement of the battle line, the Serbian army has exposed more and more things.
It was very close to the last moment of the Xia army's counterattack, because if it didn't counterattack, the country would almost be unable to hold on.
