The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 852 Seeking a Decisive Battle
Li Yuanhao's wanton annexation of Qingye in Gaoping, the capital of the Xixia Kingdom, set off a wave of white terror. People of insight can see that Li Yuanhao is digging the foundation of Xixia. For example, Zhuge Liang was shocked and angry when he besieged Lian County. However, it is undeniable that Li Yuanhao's personal military affairs in such a short period of time Strength soared.

Note that it is personal military strength, not Xixia's national strength!

Let me first talk about the personal military strength of the [-] elite party members brought back by Li Yuanhao, whose combat effectiveness has risen sharply in a short time.

Then there was a proton army of 3 people and a Qiang coalition army of 6 people, and countless Han people were forced to defend the city.

Of course, the Han people were forced to defend the city by steel knives, but how many of the Qiang allied forces sincerely worked for Li Yuanhao, and how many of them had a small heart in their hearts is unknown.

It was a fatal blow to Xixia's national power. Gaoping, which had one-third of Xixia's economy, was completely destroyed as the capital of the country. It was just a fire away from Dong Zhuo's abandonment of Luoyang.

But Li Yuanhao didn't care about these at all, what he wanted was victory in this war.

When Lao Niu led the Tianzi Zhongjun, Shi Bao, Murong Yanzhao, and Li Jilong's three armies to the south and arrived fifty miles northeast of Fengyi Mountain, suddenly spies came to report that the army led by Li Yuanhao was heading to his end.

"Three gentlemen, did Li Yuanhao suddenly send troops to fight us?" Lao Niu looked at the three advisers, Lu Su, Wen Huanzhang, and Xu Guanzhong, with questioning eyes.

It is explained here that the Tianzi Central Army and the five major legions are all equipped with the post of joining the army, and this joining the army is basically a person from the Military Aircraft Department. It will not be fixed but will be assigned when going out.

Tian Feng and Ju Shou stayed beside Lu Heng in the Military Aircraft Division, while Chen Gong and Zhao Pu stayed with Zhuge Liang's Army, Fang Qifo, and Fang Mao's Army.

"I heard that Li Yuanhao wanted to fight against trapped beasts with a strong wall and clear the field, but Xixia people are good at field warfare and not good at defending the city. Although Gaoping was designated as the capital of the rebellious country, it was only a county in Xiliang.

Therefore, Su concluded that Li Yuanhao's primary goal this time must be us, and once we are defeated, we can take advantage of the situation and go north to relieve Gao Lian's crisis. "

"But, Li Yuanhao is all cavalry and our army is all infantry, even if the strength is equal, how can this be correct?" Niu Gao scratched his head.

As the king of the field, the cavalry is very strong in the field. The mobility alone can make the infantry eat a pot. The two-legged eleven-way can't run the four-legged four-wheel drive. It can't run, run, chase, catch up, and frequently harass It can also cut off its food road, which is the biggest disadvantage against cavalry in the wild.

If the terrain is dangerous, such as mountains, hills, forests, etc., you can rely on the terrain to maneuver around. However, except for a few places like Wuzhi, the rest of Xiliang is flat and there is no such thing as a favorable location.

"General Niu, now the advantage lies in the Song Dynasty instead of Xixia. Li Yuanhao's pursuit of a decisive battle is nothing more than wanting to quickly break through our army to rescue the southern or northern lines, so we just need to avoid their edge and take the defensive as the offensive." Wen Huanzhang obviously had the right chest The belly draft already has a countermeasure.

"Guard? How do you keep it?" But Lao Niu was still a little dizzy from being told, how can he keep a flat river?Even if a large camp is established to guard the grain road and the road is cut off, it is still "finding stones in the latrine?" '.

Xu Guanzhong said from the side: "General Niu, in fact, we only need to build a big camp along the Qinghe River to resist the Xixia cavalry. As for the grain and grass, we can naturally transport it from the Qinghe River to the big camp, so we can force Li Yuanhao to attack our big camp!"

"What Guanzhong said is true. It's Li Yuanhao's Xixia not us who are in a hurry! But we need to send someone to notify Marshal Zhuge to observe the upper reaches of the Qinghe River at all times to prevent water attack!" Lu Su added at the end.

That's right, setting up a camp like this did solve the problems of defense and food roads, but one disadvantage was water attack, because camping next to the river, but using the defense of a mere large camp based on water, it was impossible to stop the attack of natural floods.

Seeing that the three counselors had the same opinion, Lao Niu smiled and patted his huge head: "Just follow the advice of the three counselors, and everyone will set off westward and set up camp by the Qinghe River!"

In this way, with Qinghe as its back, the [-] army built a big camp and set up camp. At the same time, Lao Niu also ordered the siege equipment to be assembled. Don't forget that the army of Lao Niu came to attack the city from time to time!
In the words of Lao Niu: "Let Li Yuanhao's cavalry be as sharp as the eight cattle crossbows of the Song Dynasty!"

About half a day later, Li Yuanhao led the army to see the Song Dynasty army camp that had already set up camp. This time Li Yuanhao pulled out the last living force of Xixia, including his own [-] elites, including [-] iron kites, as well as the Proton Army and Qiang allied forces.

As analyzed by Lu Su, Wen Huanzhang, Xu Guanzhong and others, Li Yuanhao also needs a big victory to boost morale based on the pursuit of a decisive battle. The time is running out.

However, Li Yuanhao's face changed slightly when he looked at the Great Song Army's camp. It is true that cavalry is the king of field battles, but cavalry is also one of the worst types of troops!

Li Yuanhao's troops were all cavalry. Although the wooden camp was definitely not comparable to the defensive power of the city wall, he used cavalry to fight?how to spell?Hit it with the head of a war horse?

All the elite infantrymen are trapped in Lian County on the northern line. This is the biggest problem!

"Order Shaodang Qiang, Baima Qiang, Xi Qiang and others to fight and take down the big camp!" No matter what, Li Yuanhao ordered to charge, first to test the hardness of the big camp, in case it is not sure what it looks like, it will break through as soon as it charges ?

Besides, Li Yuanhao sent Shaodang Qiang, Baima Qiang, Xi Qiang and others to fight, and he didn't feel sorry for the Xixia elite who died.

These Qiang tribal chiefs have nothing to do. They can listen to the call without getting together. After they get together, they respect the command of the commander. Unless their own tribe riots, Li Yuanhao has the right to kill them directly, and then make those people even more crazy. The mad dogs (tribes who have gained vested interests under Li Yuanhao's white terror policy) cannibalized their tribes.

"Boom! Boom!", "Whoo! Whoosh! Whoosh!" With Li Yuanhao's order to charge the horn, Che Duoji, King Midang, Hung He, Shao Ge, King Fatong, and others could only Charge with cavalry and shoot arrows.

"Duo! Duo! Duo!" Arrows rained down on the Song Dynasty barracks, inserted on the wooden walls, camp gates, antlers, and the big shields of the soldiers. He shot into the camp and shot a few unlucky guys.

"It's impolite to come and not to go! It's rare for Lao Niu to say something polite! Gongnuying, Ba Niuying, let me shoot them down..."
