Chapter 396: Leading the Way (I)


In Li Liangzuo's eyes, Khorezm's army and these Western Regions tribal alliances are not their own allies at all, but their own servant army, so Li Liangzuo does not regard these soldiers as human beings at all, compared with the Xia army, they are completely cannon fodder.

It is understandable to say that Li Liangzuo treats the tribal alliance army like this, but it is a little too much to say that he treats the army of the Khorezm country like this, after all, the Khorezm country is an independent country with freedom and sovereignty, not completely a vassal state of the Great Xia State, and the Khorezm country and the Great Xia State are equal relations, and now Li Liangzuo's approach is completely to regard Khorezm as his own vassal state.

Although Khorezm also signed a suzerainty agreement with the Great Xia Kingdom, this agreement can be said to be a little sacrifice made by Khorezm for the sake of interests, and it is not regarded as the same thing, so Khorezm still regards himself and the Great Xia Kingdom as equal countries.

Therefore, Xia Jun used himself as cannon fodder, and Zalandin, the prince of Khorezm, was very dissatisfied.

At the end of the day's battle, Li Liangzuo ordered the withdrawal of the army, and Li Liangzuo's actions caused the dissatisfaction of the allied forces of Khorezm and the Western Regions tribes, and the commanders of the coalition army led by the prince of Khorezm, Zalandin, came to Li Liangzuo's Chinese army tent to ask for guilt after the end of the war: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Great Xia" Before Zalandin's words were finished, he was interrupted by Li Liangzuo: "It turned out to be Prince Zalandin, looking at the prince's dusty appearance, he should have just come down from the battlefield, why don't you go down and rest to find me?"

Zalandin forcibly held back the anger in his heart and asked Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, don't you feel ashamed of what you say today, I Khorezm is an ally of your country, not a vassal country, is this how your Great Xia Kingdom treats allies?"

Li Liangzuo sneered: "The prince means to be very much the agreement signed with me, since this is the case, the prince can lead the troops to leave, and I will not force me to stay." ” Li Liangzuo's words scared Zalandin a lot, this is related to Khorezm's national fortunes, and it is not for Zalandin to decide, but Li Liangzuo's words have already reached this extent, Zalandin is now difficult to ride a tiger; Looking at Zalandin's anxious sweaty appearance, Li Liangzuo said with a smile: "How does the prince think that the strength of your country compares to my Great Xia Kingdom?"

Zalandin replied truthfully: "That is naturally incomparable, your country is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and the small state is located in a remote country, and the people are weak, and your majesty will need to take care of it more in the future." ” "Since you know that you are a small country and a weak state, you should have your own consciousness, so that you can take the lead in attacking the city, it is your father who gives you face, it is best not to be shameless."

Li Yue said to Zalandin with a cold face.

"Yue'er, how do you speak," Li Liangzuo reprimanded Li Yue.

Then Li Liangzuo said to Zalandin: "Your Royal Highness, the reason why I am doing this today is also for your consideration, you have applied to me for the first batch of siege battles, I am very relieved, but this first battle is related to the whole battle situation, if you retreat, it is not your own face that you will lose, but my face" Li Liangzuo said louder; "Since I led the troops, I have never lost a battle, and the army of my Great Xia Kingdom is even more brave and invincible, in this joint operation, you are not representing your own country and tribe, but my Great Xia Kingdom, I will never allow a mouse feces to spoil a pot of soup; If you want to withdraw from the battle, you can go at any time, and I will not stop you; But if you choose to stay, you must obey my orders."

Li Liangzuo's words are very deterrent, under Li Liangzuo's deterrence, these people dare not have any abnormal movements, after everyone left, Li Liangzuo issued a military order to Li Yue: "Yue'er, order the Imperial Forest Legion, if these people dare to have any abnormal movements, they will be exterminated." ” "Yes, Erchen understands."

Li Yue took over the military order; "Let's do it."

"There's no hurry."

Li Liangzuo greeted Li Yue and said; "It's just that there's nothing going on now, let's talk for a while."

"What did the father say to his son?"

"This time, the generals were canonized, but the three of you brothers were not rewarded, do you know why?"

"The father naturally has his own considerations, and the sons dare not speculate."

"I do have my own considerations, in the first battle of the Western Regions, my Xia army suffered heavy losses, although it was a victory, but it was also a tragic victory, and this battle basically wiped out the family foundation I had accumulated for many years, once the war is over, most of the soldiers need to be disarmed and returned to the field, with our current situation, only some elite soldiers and horses can be left, and the border armies around the country also need to be reorganized and reduced in strength; Therefore, the most elite troops must be concentrated in the Royal Forest Legion, and I want you three brothers, each to command an army of 100,000, and if something happens on the frontier, they will quickly rush to the aid of mobile forces."

"Father, let the son take on such a heavy responsibility, the son is naturally grateful, but the son is afraid that his ability is not enough, delaying his father's plan" "Don't worry, you kid won't delay my layout."

Li Liangzuo said with a smile; "Order all departments to repair for half a month, build siege equipment, and accumulate strength to give Maliksha the final blow."

"Yes, the retainer is commanded."

Half a month of hard work is not long, said short is not short, soon passed, in this half a month of time, the Xia army to build siege equipment, large bed crossbows, catapults, siege vehicles, building vehicles nearly 1,000, with so many siege equipment, Li Liangzuo's confidence doubled.

In the early morning, Li Liangzuo rode the black wind and slowly approached the city of Samma, behind Li Liangzuo was the elite of the Xia army, and then there were Khorezm and the allied soldiers, of course, Zalandin and the chiefs of the tribes followed Li Liangzuo's side, the army stayed an arrow away from the city of Samma, and all kinds of siege equipment were also pushed up, and these bloodthirsty weapons showed hideous faces one by one, and they could take the lives of the guards of the city at any time.

Li Liangzuo turned his horse's head and said to Zalandin and the tribal chiefs; "I have been a warlord for you before, and this time you have also been a warlord for me, and today I personally led the Xia army to launch an attack on the city of Samma, so that you can see what a real army is and what a real warrior is."

"Li Yue obeyed the order and ordered a long-range heavy weapon to attack."

"Yes, the retainers are commanded" "Your Majesty has a will, bed crossbow, catapult attack" With the flashing of the order flag, only to hear bang, bang, bang, bang, boom, countless crossbow arrows and stones flew towards the city of Sama, for a while, the screams in the city of Samad were screaming, the crossbow arrows as thick as the small arm pierced the sky, one shot through the battlements, and directly killed the Serbian soldiers hiding behind the battlements on the city wall, huge stones flew towards the city, and the people who fell on the top of the city were directly smashed into the city, and the houses that flew over were directly smashed, and there were fireballs, and a little spark could ignite a skyrocket.

Before the Xia soldiers could attack, they inflicted heavy casualties on the Cypriot army, and the walls of Samad began to shake under the blows of the Xia army, and the city was in danger of falling at any time just by starting it.
