1252. Launching a decisive battle
Even Helian Hu has a good cultivation, but he has not yet landed and ended up beyond recognition.
This is the end of a generation of famous generals who are quite famous in the Gansu Military Region.
From beginning to end, I didn't even see the shadow of She Tuoli's people.
The front row of the army that wanted to enter the city instantly became very flustered. Some soldiers didn't care about the thunder array, and hurriedly dismounted and ran to the front.
Just looking at Helian Hu's scorched face and blurred flesh and blood, he knew that he was not alive.
Everyone's face is extremely ugly.
Some people clenched their teeth, their eyes were red, and they hated the four major military divisions to the core.
The lieutenant general of the army held the body of Helian Hu and shouted one after another: "General Helian! General Helian! ”
Only Helian Tiger will not react at all.
It was only after a long time that the panic in the army gradually subsided, but the grief and anger spread among the army.
The lieutenant general of the army temporarily took the position of Helian Hu and was in charge of the whole army. After asking the soldiers to clean up the corpses inside and outside the city gate, he led the army towards the city government.
The palace was also a miserable scene.
Subsequently, these officers and men of the Gansu Military Division, who had just arrived in Qingchuan County, learned about the dung in the grain storage depot in the city.
This made several generals in the army pale.
In a fit of rage, although he led his army out of the city to pursue the enemy troops who had already left the city, he was also powerless.
They hurried here on light horses, and the men and horses were so tired that they could not stand the toss any longer.
Even if there is great grievance and anger in his heart, he can only forcibly press it down at this time.
Only the light cavalry hurried to the barracks to report the news.
She Tuoli led more than 2,000 light riders, which was naturally long gone.
Inside the camp of the Western Xia Forbidden Army.
Under the orders of Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian, the whole army packed up and finally prepared to set off for Qingchuan County.
And at this time, the four major military divisions in Longzhou City always loved to go out of the city.
A scout hurried to the Central Army of the Western Xia Forbidden Army to report the news.
After Helian Cheng, Qu Rujian and others received the report, they were extremely helpless, so they had to lead the army to set up a formation in place, and did not dare to go north again.
Of course, they were worried that the four major military divisions would have iron cavalry to attack their rear formation.
If the army were to receive a sudden shock in the middle of the march, the consequences would be unpredictable.
However, when they set up a large array in place, the soldiers of the four major military divisions showed no sign of attacking their large array.
The two armies were only looking at each other from a distance.
Helian Cheng stood on his horse, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but whisper in his mouth: "What are the four major military divisions trying to do?" ”
Qu Rujian said quietly: "I want to delay our army here." General Helian, it seems that their trip is inevitable for Qingchuan County. ”
Helian Cheng's brows couldn't help but frown deeper, "Most of our grain and grass are in Qingchuan County......
He even felt a chill in his heart.
The grain and herbs of Western Xia were not rich, and the previous successive expeditions to Lizhou East Road, Fengxiang Road and other places made the domestic grain and grass scarce. On this expedition, a lot of grain and grass were hoarded in Qingchuan County, and if they were destroyed or taken away, it would be difficult for the rear to raise enough grain and grass in a short time.
Qu Rujian said: "If the grain and grass are lost, then our situation will be similar to that of the four major military divisions, or even worse." They probably have more food and grass than we do. ”
Helian Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and after a while, he said in a low tone: "The four major military divisions are forcing us to start a decisive battle with them......"
Qu Rujian nodded slightly, "That's probably the case." Let's see if Qingchuan County can hold it, if Qingchuan County is lost, then we are afraid that we can really only fight with them. ”
The army stood in place, confronting the officers and men of the four major armies from afar.
Time passes slowly.
It was close to evening.
The large array of the four major military divisions suddenly moved, but they slowly retreated towards Longzhou City.
When Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian saw this scene, they looked at each other, and there was a flash of suspicion in their eyes.
Immediately, Helian Cheng's eyes flashed with regret, and he said heavily: "Qingchuan County is afraid that it has been taken away......
Qu Rujian also thought of this from the movements of the four major military divisions, and said, "Then should we continue to defend Qingchuan, or will we fight them a decisive battle?" ”
Helian Cheng gritted his teeth and said: "If we return to Qingchuan like this, the emperor will blame us for not being able to fight well!" Rather than waiting for the court to be fed and fed, I thought it would be better to fight them in a decisive battle. ”
Qu Rujian was a little skeptical, "If a decisive battle is launched, the casualties will be immeasurable......
Helian Cheng said ruthlessly: "As long as we can win, we will be the unification of Western Xia!" There will always be enough soldiers to recruit in the future! ”
Qu Rujian stopped talking.
Seeing the army of the four major military divisions slowly retreating, Helian Cheng said solemnly again: "Then let's launch an attack!" ”
Qu Rujian nodded solemnly and ran towards the front of the formation.
Helian Cheng raised the spear in his hand and shouted in a low voice: "All the soldiers of the army! Get ready to attack! ”
The big shovel next to him shook the big shovel in his hand vigorously.
The Western Xia Forbidden Army, as well as the officers and men of the Gansu and Xiangqing Armies, all quickly moved after seeing the Great Movement.
The formation of hundreds of thousands of troops changed in a hurry.
Many light and heavy iron horsemen roared and patted their horses to the front of the army.
"Kill!"
Then, with the roar of Helian City, the sound of the trumpets in the army resounded in an instant.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The iron cavalry in the front row of the large array rushed towards the great array of the four major military divisions.
The infantry military formation followed.
In the vast field, two large formations composed of more than 100,000 troops approached at an extremely fast speed.
The officers and men of the four major armies also reacted quickly.
In fact, at the moment when the forbidden army's great array changed, they had already realized that the forbidden army might be attacking.
The decisive battle came like this.
The battlefield is unpredictable, and that's probably it.
Faced with the onslaught of the Western Xia Forbidden Army, the four major military divisions obviously had no intention of retreating.
She Tuoli attacked Qingchuan County, and he did have the intention of forcing the forbidden army to fight a decisive battle with them.
Because even if they burn the grain and grass in Qingchuan County, it is difficult to turn passive into active. If there is a long-term confrontation, it will definitely not be able to support their food and grass.
Under the orders of Wu Ge, Tuoba Wu, Sikong She and others, there were iron cavalry in the major military divisions and cavalry rushing out to meet the forbidden army.
This is also a rare battle.
Regardless of who wins or loses, the situation in Western Xia will change dramatically as a result. And probably in just a few years, it will be difficult for Western Xia to have combat power.
Li Xiushu can be said to have entrusted all the future of Western Xia to Zhao Dongting.
Soon, however, artillery fire began to pour out over the field.
The infantry of both armies had soldiers pushing artillery wagons and launching artillery bombardments at the opponent's iron cavalry.
In an instant, the iron cavalry of both sides was on their backs in the big array.
I don't know how many people have stumbled.
But it still doesn't seem chaotic in general.
The formation of the infantry in the back is still compact.
The rain is still falling.
Due to the loss of Qingchuan County, Helian Hu led the army to Qingchuan, and at this time, the number of the Western Xia Forbidden Army can only be said to be similar compared to the four major military divisions.
This is destined to be an extremely difficult battle.
The Qi Tianjun who were like swords all joined the ranks of the conquest.
In the past, these soldiers who flew in the sky were now armed with spears or sabers, and they rushed to kill with the army.
In the continuous artillery fire, the iron cavalry of the two armies soon collided.
This has a great sense of landslide and earth cracking.
The fight seems to be endless.
I don't know when, the night just fell suddenly.
There is fog.
In the thick fog, the two armies were still fighting.
By this time, the two armies were already in an almost complete melee. The two military formations were staggered with each other.
It is difficult for the commander-in-chief of the armies on both sides to coordinate the overall situation.
And She Tuoli also led more than 2,000 light horsemen to arrive at this time.
Seeing the battle between the two sides, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a fierce murderous aura emerged. Then he raised his sword and shouted: "Kill!" ”
He led more than 2,000 cavalry into the crowd.
It's just that even if he has a true martial realm cultivation, in such a battle involving more than 200,000 troops, of course, it is not as dazzling as when he was in Qingchuan County.
The True Martial Realm is strong and strong, and there is also a limit, that is, the Western Xia Forbidden Army lined up and let him kill him, and it was not something he could kill.
Until the night was dark.
The fighting continues.
There were 800 miles of expedited horses rushing to Chengdu Fu.
Liu Zhuwen and Zhang Guangbao learned that the Western Xia Forbidden Army and the four major military divisions had launched a decisive battle outside Longzhou City.
This surprised them.
What was even more surprising was that it was the Western Xia Forbidden Army that took the initiative to attack.
There's really no reason for that.
They put themselves in their shoes, if they were the chief general of the forbidden army, they would definitely choose to wait for work when there was plenty of food and grass!
