After receiving Li Liangzuo's letter, Li Yanzong decisively issued a military order: "Order the whole army to strictly guard the camp, and no one is allowed to go out of the camp to fight without the general's order."
"Yes, the last general commands."
Li Yi took the military order and said.
"General, the last general has a thing that I don't know why our army does not go out of the camp to meet the attack, but retreats in the camp, although the Serbian army has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses than us, but our army is waiting for work, and it is not completely impossible to defeat the Serbian army."
Li Yi asked Li Yanzong in confusion.
"But the more times like this, the less our army can afford to take risks; It is clear that Maliksha led 150,000 Serbian troops from afar, and it is impossible to carry too much grain and grass, and the 400,000 front-line soldiers and horses of the Serbian army who were cut off by us are estimated to have run out of food, as long as our army sticks to the hard drive and does not let the two lines of soldiers and horses of the Serbian army join forces, then the Serbian army will not be able to hold out for long, and then our army will be able to destroy the main force of the Serbian army at the minimum cost.
Li Yanzong said to Li Yi.
"The Wise General" "This general doesn't dare to take credit, this is a plan that His Majesty came up with," Li Yanzong laughed.
Late at night, in the camp of the Serbian army, the soldiers of the Serbian army who had been repaired for an afternoon had recovered to sixty percent of their combat strength, and Maliksha decided to attack the summer army camp at night tonight, not that Maliksha did not want to wait, but that Maliksha had no time to wait, and if he waited any longer, I was afraid that the Xia army reinforcements led by Li Liangzuo would be killed.
"Command the ministries to attack the summer army camp tonight," Maliksha ordered several of the rewards.
"Respectfully obey Your Majesty Shengyu."
At this moment, an adjutant general hurriedly walked in and said, "Your Majesty, good news, we have already contacted the first section of the former army that was surrounded. ” Maliksha was very pleasantly surprised and said: "What you said is true, how to get in touch, tell me quickly." ” "Your Majesty, there is a very hidden mountain path north of the camp of the Xia army, where did the last general find a dying soldier of our army when he led the army to inspect, and the last general got all this from his mouth."
"Where is this person now?"
"The last general has arranged for him to eat, and he seems to have not eaten in days."
"Okay, bring him to me as soon as he's done eating."
"Yes, the Admiral understands."
Not long after, the soldier was brought to Mariksha, who anxiously asked the soldier, "Tell me how the army on the front line is."
The soldier reported to Malikshah: "Your Majesty, the front-line army is not stationed together, but is divided and surrounded by the Xia army. ” "Who will be the commander of the battalion you are in, and how many soldiers and horses will there be?"
"General Mehhat, there are still nearly 100,000 troops in the camp, but the food and grass in the camp have basically been exhausted, and the brothers can only look for some wild things in the nearby mountains, I am afraid that the brothers will continue like this."
"I know, you've worked hard; I now promote you to the rank of centurion, and you lead a group of guards back to the camp along the same route, and tell General Mehhat that tonight I will launch a night attack on the Xia army, so that they can cooperate in the battle and defeat the Xia army in one fell swoop. ” "Yes, Commandment" "How long will it take to get back?"
"An hour and a half is enough" "Okay, I'll give you two hours, and two hours later it will be late at night, and then the two armies will flank the main camp of the Xia army."
Two hours said fast and fast, the centurion conveyed Mariksha's words to Mehhat, Mehat did not dare to slack off after receiving the military order, and immediately prepared to break through the battle, but the 100,000 Serbian army was already at the end of the crossbow at this time, hunger was their biggest enemy, all the food in the camp was basically eaten, and even the war horses were killed a lot, and the original huge cavalry force was now about to be reduced to the point of infantry.
In the tent of the Chinese army in Mehat, Mehat summoned the generals to discuss the breakthrough battle, and Mehat said to the generals: "Your Majesty's reinforcements have arrived, and after you return, you will immediately gather the army and break through tonight." ” The generals said with a happy face: "Obey the military order." ” On the night of the same day, the Serbian army launched a fierce attack on the camp of the summer army, the Serbian army was flanked on both sides, led by General Maliksha and Mehat, Maliksha led 150,000 Serbian troops, Mehat led 100,000 Serbian troops, and the two Serbian armies launched an all-out attack from the beginning, although the Serbian army was not satisfied with the combat strength at this time, but in the face of the attack of the 250,000 army, the pressure of the Xia army was also very great, and the slightest carelessness may be in danger of breaking the camp.
"General, the Cypriot army launched a night attack from both sides, and the attack was very fierce; The two armies of the Serbian army have a total of 250,000 troops, while our army has only 100,000 soldiers and horses, so should we let the rest of the battalions send reinforcements.
Li Yi said to Li Yanzong after entering the account.
"No, once the rest of the battalions withdraw and return to the main camp, the momentum of the Serbian army will be even greater, and the soldiers and horses of all units will be ordered to resist the attack of the Serbian army desperately, even if they die, they will not let the Serbian army break through our camp; You and I each lead an army of 50,000 troops, you guard the inner line, I guard the outer line, as long as we hold out until dark, it's almost the same. ” "Yes, the last general commands" Although it was a night attack, but because the Xia army had already taken precautions, the night attack launched by the Serbian army did not achieve the expected effect, but the Serbian army was ready to send arrows, since the Serbian army launched an attack, there was no possibility of retreat, whether it was a night attack or a strong attack, in Malikshah's view, the Serbian army must take back a city, under the harsh military order of Malikshah, the Serbian soldiers rushed up regardless of their lives, and soon the corpses of the Serbian army were piled up in front of the summer army camp.
"It's not a way to fight like this, the arrows are consumed too quickly."
Li Yanzong said with a blood-dripping battle knife.
"There is no way, as soon as the rain of arrows stops, the Serbian army rushes up, and they are completely deadly," the adjutant general said to Li Yanzong.
"Tell the brothers to use heavy siege weapons, what siege vehicles, three-bow bed crossbows are all for Lao Tzu to use, Lao Tzu is willing to die, and he can't let the Serbian army break through our army's defense line."
Li Yanzong finally made up his mind and said.
"General be careful" A soldier stood sideways in front of Li Yanzong, and was shot dead by a Serbian soldier on the spot.
"Brothers and brothers kill me, even if I die, I will not let the Serbian army enter the camp" The Xia army desperately resisted and suffered heavy casualties, when the sky was just dawning, the first round of the offensive of the Serbian army had just retreated, and the soldiers of the Xia army who fought in the middle of the night were tired and could not get up, and the Serbian army was not much better, especially the Serbian army on the inner line, who had no food or drink and such an intense attack, if it were not supported by the idea of survival, I am afraid it would have collapsed long ago.
"General, if we go on like this, I'm afraid that our army won't hold out until it gets dark, and how long will we be fighting, and our army will lose 20,000 soldiers, and if we continue to fight, the whole army will be exhausted."
Li Yi said to Li Yanzong.
"If you fight it out, you have to fight, as long as you hold on until dark, Your Majesty's reinforcements will be able to arrive."
Li Yanzong said to Li Yi.
Now Li Yanzong can only pin all his hopes on Li Liangzuo, and the 100,000 army under Li Liangzuo has become the key to the victory or defeat of the Xia army.
It's a little late to work overtime today, thank you for the master's three recommendations, Tianyu is grateful:
