But even if Li Liangzuo realized the crisis and wanted to set up a return army to rescue, it was too late, because the Serbian army had already crossed the Honghe River and penetrated directly into the rear of the main force of the Xia army, and a major war was inevitable, and now the only hope of the Xia army was to pin on the 400,000 army, as long as the Xia army could block the first wave of the attack of the Serbian army, there was still a great hope of continuing to hold on.
"Report, report, report to the general, find the Serbian cavalry in the rear of our army."
A sentry galloped to the main camp of the Xia army, and reported to Li Yanzong.
Li Yi frowned when he heard the news and said: "How can the Serbian army appear in the rear of our army, can it be said that His Majesty is he?"
Li Yanzong said to Li Yi: "No, there is only one explanation for the Serbian army to appear behind our army now, that is, the Serbian army has bypassed His Majesty's defense line, go and find out how many soldiers and horses the Serbian army has."
"Yes, lowly command."
The sentinel led the way and galloped away.
"Now that the reinforcements of the Serbian army are coming, our army is about to face a two-front battle, and it is very likely that it will be attacked by the Serbian army on both sides."
Li Yi said to Li Yanzong.
"This campaign must not bring the two armies together, let alone make the two armies communicate with each other, as long as the two armies are cut off, the Serbian army will not be able to carry out coordinated operations, so the situation will be much better for us."
Li Yanzong said to Li Yi.
"It makes sense, since the general said so, there must be a battle plan," Li Yi said.
Li Yanzong brought Li Yi to the map and said: "I will lead 100,000 troops out of the camp secretly, and you will lead the remaining 300,000 troops to die between the battalions of the Serbian army, but you must be the same as before, and you must not let the Serbian army see a little flaw; The main thing was to send people to shoot and kill the sentry and herald soldiers of the Serbian army out of the camp, and completely cut off their contact with the outside world. ” "The last general understands that the general should lead the troops to resist the reinforcements of the Serbian army," Li Yi said to Li Yanzong.
"No, the leader of the reinforcements of the Serbian army this time must be Malikshah, this person is sinister and cunning, you are still young and not his opponent at all, even I am not sure to defeat him, now all I can do is to drag the Serbian army as much as possible, waiting for His Majesty's reinforcements, as long as our army can hold out for a day and a night, then it is not far from victory."
Li Yanzong immediately ordered 100,000 cavalry to secretly leave the camp and go west, eighty miles away from the camp, the Xia army led by Li Yanzong and the Serbian army led by Maliksha met, Mariksha did not expect the Xia army's response to be so rapid, as the saying goes, good soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, since the Xia army arrived, only two armies went to war, and now the war is exactly what Li Yanzong wants.
The Serbian army came from afar, and did not have time to rest, at this time it was the end of the strong crossbow, at this time the Serbian army was able to exert less than fifty percent of the combat effectiveness, which was an excellent opportunity for Li Yanzong, the two armies first launched an attack against the Xia army, the Xia army's tactics were the same as usual, first with light cavalry with arrow rain attack, and then heavy cavalry through the light cavalry to give the enemy a fatal blow, although the tactics are old-fashioned, but quite effective.
Not long after the battle, Maliksha led the Xia army to retreat on its own initiative, although the Serbian army withdrew, the formation was not panicked at all, and An Qinggui on the side asked Li Yanzong: "General, do you want to lead the army to pursue." ” "No, you see that the formation of the Serbian army is not chaotic, maybe there are ambushes behind, so it's better not to chase rashly."
Li Yanzong said; "Order the army to withdraw and return to camp."
After the withdrawal of the Serbian army, the general of the Serbian army asked Malikshah: "Your Majesty, why did our army take the initiative to withdraw?"
” Maliksha said to the general: "Our army's long-distance attack is already at the end of the crossbow, and our army will not be able to take advantage of it if we continue to fight, rather than losing troops in vain, it is better to repair first and then give the Xia army a fatal blow." ” "But Your Majesty, time waits for no one, if you wait any longer, the 400,000 troops on the front line of our army will probably run out of food, and the time will drag on for a long time, and the reinforcements of the Xia army will probably arrive, and the situation will be even more unfavorable to us at that time."
"Although the time is pressing, I don't care about this moment, I ordered the army to repair first, and I will make my own arrangements when the time comes."
"Yes, the last general commands."
Because the Serbian army is lightly armed, so the tent or something heavy materials did not bring at all, each person only brought ten days of dry food, after Maliksha ordered to rest, the Serbian soldiers sat together in twos and threes, gnawed on the dried meat and chewed the dry food, after eating, they lay directly on the grass and fell asleep, the three-day long-distance attack was too tiring, and just fought another battle, it can be said that the last bit of strength of the Serbian soldiers has been used up, if the Xia army comes to sneak attack at this time, it will be able to win a big victory, It's a pity that there are no what ifs in this world.
After Li Yanzong led the army back to the camp, he immediately made arrangements to strengthen the camp to prevent the Serbian army from attacking at night, and the camp of the Xia army was entrenched on the only way for the Serbian army to march, if Maliksha wanted to join the reinforcements of the Serbian army, it was necessary to break through the camp of the Xia army, and now what Li Yanzong had to do was to strictly defend and prevent Maliksha from leading the army to break through.
In the big tent of Malikshah, this is also the only camp tent of the Serbian army, in this big tent Maliksha is thinking about the next move, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the current battle situation has greatly exceeded Mariksha's expectations, just when Maliksha immediately turned south and eastward on the west bank of the Hong River, Maliksha received a secret report that the Xia army and the Khorezm coalition army with a total of more than 200,000 troops have captured the city of Puhualuo, which poses a serious threat to Samad from the west; Moreover, Sevic also sent a letter saying that after the inevitable Xia army, after those Terra fans, began to march north, and was preparing to attack the Iron Gate Pass.
Now in terms of the entire strategic situation, the Serbian army has been in the strategic encirclement of the Xia army, and now the only thing that Maliksha can pin on is to win the decisive battle with the main force of the Xia army, as long as the Serbian army can defeat the main force of the Xia army, then there is still a chance to win, but there is not much time left for Malikshah, one is that the Xia army's reinforcements will arrive soon, and the other is that the Serbian army's grain and grass are about to run out.
Originally, there was not much grain and grass for 400,000 soldiers and horses on the front line of the Serbian army, and it was basically used up for such a long time, and the reinforcements of Maliksha only carried the grain and grass for more than ten days with the army, and it was almost consumed for such a long time.
When the Serbian soldiers were in the camp, Li Yanzong received a secret letter from Li Liangzuo Pegasus, in which Li Yanzong only wrote a slippery, and now the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it is for the Xia army, but whether it can be dragged on is not something that the Xia army can decide, after all, the battle between the two armies mainly depends on both sides, even if the Xia army hides in the camp and does not come out, the Serbian army can also launch a strong attack.
