"Your Majesty, the queen mother has sent an urgent document of eight hundred miles, please show it to Your Majesty.
"If there is something urgent, bring it to me."
Li Liangzuo frowned tightly after reading the secret letter, and then walked to the map of the territory of the Great Xia Kingdom hanging on the wall and stared, Xiao Zhuozi walked to Li Liangzuo's side and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Li Liangzuo said to Xiao Zhuozi: "The queen wrote that now the domestic grain, grass, and taxes have been exhausted, and the strategic warehouse I set up will not last long, and with my conscription again and again, the eastern defense line of my Great Xia Kingdom has been empty to the extreme, and the queen hopes that I can send a force of soldiers and horses back to the court in case of accidents." ” "Your Majesty, the queen is right, now the army of the Great Xia Kingdom in the Western Regions has reached 700,000, plus the 200,000 troops lost before, the Great Xia Kingdom has invested nearly a million troops in the Western Regions, and all the young and strong warriors in the country have been recruited by His Majesty to the Western Regions, if the Song and Liao countries suddenly attack at this time, it will be really troublesome, please think twice, please think twice."
Li Liangzuo said with a smile: "You are too worried, I signed the Three Emperors Covenant with Song and Liao before the Western Expedition, you think this covenant was signed in vain, and the war situation in the Western Regions is about to be clear, at this time, not only can I not send troops back to the court, but should continue to send troops to reinforce, but I am afraid that there are no troops in the country to adjust; You kid put your heart in your stomach, before Song Liao makes a difficulty, I will win a big victory here, and then I will sweep the world with the power of great victory, and I will definitely look at the wind wherever I go. ” Li Liangzuo is full of confidence in himself, of course, these are not blind confidence, because Li Liangzuo has this self-confident capital, since Li Liangzuo took power, the Great Xia Kingdom has been in the rising period, under the leadership of Li Liangzuo, the Xia army has laid a broad territory for the Great Xia Kingdom, so many years Li Liangzuo has never failed to lead the army, these achievements are the source of Li Liangzuo's self-confidence, Li Liangzuo does not believe that the Liao army that was beaten by himself, and the Song army that was like no one by the Liao army, Argue with yourself at this time.
It is said that Li Wu and Hua Ma and Mu Zheng led more than 10,000 iron horsemen to leave the camp, and under the leadership of Li Wu, more than 10,000 iron horsemen came to the ambush on the road that the Serbian army must pass, and the place selected by Li Wu is surrounded by hills on both sides, and there is an avenue in the middle, and the convoy is easily attacked by the Xia army from here, which is a good place to ambush.
"The prince plans to set up an ambush here," Hua Ma and Mu Zheng asked Li Wu.
Li Wu replied: "Yes, old general, please see, there are slopes on both sides of the mountain, and there is a big road in the middle, and I have more than 10,000 iron horsemen swooping down from the mountain, just like a tiger descending from the mountain, which is bound to give the enemy a big fart." ” "The prince can see that this place is an excellent ambush point, can't the generals of the Serbian army see it?"
Li Wu frowned and thought about it and said, "The old general is reasonable, I don't know what the old general suggests." ” "According to the old minister's opinion, it is better to attack at night than to ambush halfway; The Cypriot army must have hoarded grain and grass together at night, and it was easier for it to be burned by our army at that time. ” "The old general is reasonable, but this king feels that this is not enough, this king not only wants to attack at night, but also sets up an ambush here" Time flies quickly, Li Wu led a cavalry ambush on the slopes on both sides, after waiting for a day and a night, the Serbian army's transport team finally arrived, because the transport of grain and grass is too much, and the road is very narrow, so the Serbian army's grain transport team is a long snake formation, thousands of carts stretch for more than 100 miles, in order to protect these grain and grass, the Serbian army's forces are very scattered, once attacked, it is impossible to assemble in a short time.
"Lord Wang, you see that the enemy's convoy is not in sight, it seems that it is estimated to stretch for more than 100 miles, if our army intercepts from the halfway, it will definitely be able to make it impossible to take care of each other."
An adjutant general said to Li Wu.
"Our army only has 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the number is not very large, and when we fight for a while, we must burn as much grain and grass as possible, and it is not a part of it that can be destroyed."
"Yes, the Admiral understands."
The Serbian generals are not stupid, for such an ambush place, the generals of the Serbian army have already thought of countermeasures, the front team of the grain transport team did not continue to advance after reaching the mountain pass but stopped, at this time the Serbian army that was originally scattered everywhere suddenly had a group assembled, its strength was about 10,000 people, more than 10,000 people protected 200 carts to continue to advance, and the brigade of men and horses stayed behind.
In this way, under Li Wu's nose, the Serbian army insisted on transporting grain and grass one by one, and the angry Li Wu's teeth were only itchy, and Li Wu said to the deputy general of something: "You can't wait, there is no point in waiting, and the order is that the next time the Serbian army is transporting grain, the whole army will attack, and after burning this batch of grain and grass, retreat immediately." ” "Yes, the Admiral understands."
When the Serbian army carried out the fifth grain transport, Li Wu led the Xia army to attack, three thousand Xia cavalry killed from the mountain, like a tiger down the mountain, there was no attack in the first few times, so the escorted Serbian army naturally relaxed its vigilance, and now it was suddenly attacked by the Xia army, and was caught off guard for a while, but the Serbian army quickly organized a counterattack, although the escort of the Serbian army is a foot soldier, but in this narrow combat zone, the infantry will play a greater combat power, due to the terrain, After the Xia cavalry rushed down the hillside, their mobility was greatly limited.
At the same time, the Serbian army immediately formed a defensive formation, surrounded the grain cart to form a circle, relying on the cart as a barrier to organize defense, and then used the bow and crossbow as a sharp weapon to continuously attack the Xia army, although Li Wu led the Xia army to charge several times, but never been able to break through the Serbian army's defensive car formation, but lost a lot of soldiers and horses; Not long after Li Wu launched an attack, the soldiers and horses of the Cypriot army on both sides began to advance slowly, and the Xia army fell into death in an instant.
Li Wu immediately felt that the situation was unfavorable to him, so he immediately issued a military order: "Pass the order, all departments will break through with this king." ” The Xia army is cavalry, and the escort of the Serbian army is mainly infantry, and it is basically impossible to leave Li Wu behind, but Li Wu not only did not get any results in this battle, but lost more than 1,000 soldiers and horses.
After Li Wu broke out of the encirclement, he looked at the Serbian convoy that was gradually moving away from him and said silently: "This is just the beginning, the good show is still to come" Li Wu said this with a strange smile on his face.
After defeating the cavalry of the Xia army, the general of the Serbian army immediately sent someone to report the results to Malikshah, although the victory of this battle is only a small victory for the Serbian army, the significance is extraordinary, the victory of this battle shows that the Serbian army has hit the Xia army deep into their hinterland, after being hit so hard, the threat of the Xia army to the lifeline of the Serbian army is even smaller, so that the Serbian army has no worries, but what the Serbian generals did not expect is that a greater crisis has been generalized.
