After extinguishing the fire, Sevic led the army to escort the remaining grain and grass to the city of Samad, after this battle Li Wu was not able to burn all the grain and grass of the Serbian army, but also caused a lot of losses to the Serbian army, of course, the Xia army itself also had some losses, after this battle in a short period of time Li Wu was impossible to attack again, so that night Li Wu led the Xia army to retreat to the hiding place in the desert.
A few days later, in the line of the city of Salad Marikshah, before the arrival of Sevic, Maliksha had already received the express report, but as for the loss of grain and grass, and now the amount of grain and grass is directly related to the fate of the Serbian army, at this critical moment, Maliksha must make an accurate judgment.
After seeing Sevic, Mariksa asked very eagerly: "How much grain and grass has been lost in Sevic, and how much is left?"
Sevich reported to Malikshah: "Your Majesty, the loss of grain and grass is about 800,000 stones, and the remaining 1.2 million stones. ” Ma Liksha said very happily: "Fortunately, fortunately, the loss is not very big, with this 1.2 million stone grain and grass, we still have a chance." ” "Your Majesty, with this 1.2 million grain and grass, plus the grain reserves in various places, it can barely last for a month, and the next batch of grain and grass should be able to arrive by then."
Sevic said to Malikshah.
Maliksha shook his head and said, "Whether the next batch of grain and grass will arrive as scheduled is still unknown."
"Your Majesty, is there something going on in the country?"
"Nizammulek has received news from the country that there is no food to be requisitioned, and if the grain is forcibly requisitioned, I am afraid that it will provoke a popular uprising, which means that we must end the war in the next month, otherwise we can only withdraw our troops and return home; It has been a year and a half since our army set out on the expedition, and the consumption of the army in the south and the north is very high, so our army must win the next battle, and taking Barasagon is the ultimate goal of this operation. ” "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, in fact, our army still has a batch of grain, grass and siege equipment in Telmi, you see" "That batch of grain and grass can't be moved, and the siege equipment can be brought over; The remaining grain and grass is needed by our army when it returns to China, and this batch of grain and grass is related to the lifeblood of our army. ” "What about the remnants of the Xia army?"
Maliksha said with a gloomy face: "It must be wiped out, otherwise we will be in trouble when we withdraw our troops, so I will give you 30,000 iron horsemen, and the defenders near Telmi will also be at your disposal, to find out the remnants of this Xia army and destroy him." ” "Yes, the last general commands."
"I will personally lead the army across the Honghe River to attack the Xia army today, and this time I will fight a decisive battle."
On the other side, in the Xiqi City, the Chinese army tent of Li Liangzuo, the camp of the Xia army, is now all in place, but the 100,000 army led by Li Bingchang has no news for a long time, Li Liangzuo is confident that even if there is no Li Bingchang's partial division, he can achieve victory, but this victory is not complete, and the remnants of the Serbian army are likely to flee back to the country, which will bring endless trouble to the Great Xia Kingdom, so Li Liangzuo waited and waited.
"Your Majesty, I just received news that a batch of grain and grass from the Serbian army has been transported to Samad City, and according to the spies, this batch of grain and grass is deliberately more than one million stones."
"This is really bad news, with this million stones of grain and grass, plus the original grain and grass of the Serbian army, it is not a problem to support it for another month, and I am afraid that the victory or defeat in this month has been clear."
"Your Majesty, since the Serbian army only has one month of grain and grass left, then why doesn't our army carry out delayed operations?
"I don't want to do this, but now our army is also facing a grain and grass crisis, the war has been going on for more than a year, the domestic grain and grass and the family funds I have accumulated over the years may have been exhausted, even if we can hold on, can the people in the country hold on, the queen wrote to say that in some poor places, there has even been a tragedy of changing children and eating, when has there been such a tragedy since the founding of the country, so this war must end as soon as possible, so that the people in the country can recuperate, Otherwise, once the popular uprising is provoked, it will be too late. ” "Yes, the minion understood."
"Send someone to send an order to summon all the generals to my Chinese army tent to discuss matters."
It didn't take long for the generals of the main forces of the Xia Army to come to Li Liangzuo's Chinese army camp, these people include Li Yanzong, Li Yi, Ji La Yong'er, Liang Gewei, Feng Frame, Qin Hu, Zhu Xu, An Qinggui and others, these people are all senior generals of the Xia Army and the commanders of the various armies of the Xia Army.
After everyone arrived, Li Liangzuo said to everyone: "You all know that I don't need to say anything about the current war situation, this battle has been fought for a year and a half, and most of my 700,000 troops in the Western Regions still have to rely on domestic supplies to support them, and the 700,000 army has already hollowed out the country, if the war continues like this, our army will definitely be defeated, so I decided to take the initiative to launch an attack and wipe out the main force of the Serbian army in the Western Regions." ” "Your Majesty."
The generals shouted excitedly.
"Don't be too complacent, you should have already learned the combat ability of the Serbian army, to be honest, people are not worse than us, and even in some places we are not as good as others, so this operation must be fought steadily and steadily, and all departments should pay attention to cooperation, and don't take care of their heads as soon as the war starts."
Li Liangzuo saw Qin Hu grinning and said, "It's you Qin Hu, don't grin and giggle; Come with me. ” Li Liangzuo called the generals to a sand table and said: "On this sand table, I have marked the approximate location of our army and the enemy, and I don't know the specific number of the Serbian army, which is between 800,000 and 850,000, and the locations of all the departments of the Serbian army are marked on it, so I will not repeat them one by one; The total strength of our army is 700,000, and there are 200,000 Allied troops, so the total strength is 900,000 troops; Among them, on the frontal battlefield, there were 500,000 troops under my own command; The 500,000 troops formed a pincer offensive in two ways, I personally led 300,000 troops to take charge of the battlefield north of the Honghe River, and the other 200,000 troops led by Li Yanzong to take charge of the battlefield south of the Honghe River.
In addition, there are 100,000 troops in the Khorezm country commanded by Li Chahan and Li Yue, and these 100,000 troops plus the 150,000 troops of the Khorezm country form the Western Route Army.
The remaining 100,000 troops are commanded by Li Bingchang and Li Wu, and these 100,000 troops have crossed the Green Ridge and met with the remnants of the advance army of Commander Li Wu near the Lost City of Terra, and after the two armies meet, they will take the Lost City of Terra, cutting off the logistical supply of the Cypriot army and the road back to China.
Our army will eventually form a huge strategic encirclement and control the remnants of the Serbian army southwest of the Honghe River, east of Puhualuo, and north of Tiemen Pass; That is, the area with the city of Samad as the core, that is, the area in the middle of the river; I also forgot that when our army launched an attack, there would be 50,000 cavalry of the Qarluq army along the Honghe River to support the battle."
