The scorched earth policy has a remarkable effect, the 100,000 troops of the Liao Dynasty originally planned to feed the war with war, this is the consistent style of the Liao people, after all, the 100,000 army only relies on the supply of the Liao Dynasty, and the grain and grass consumed on the road alone do not know the geometry, and now Li Yuanhao's army has no grass where it passes, not to mention the grain, and even the grass is not visible!

Li Yuanhao's plan succeeded, and the logistics of the Liao Dynasty were suddenly unguaranteed, and people, food, and horses became a big problem. Logistics is an important part of the war, the Liao people's plan to feed the war by war was disrupted, coupled with the great depth of the pursuit of the battle has made the Liao army deep into the territory of Western Xia far away, even the grain and grass transported from the country is far from quenching the thirst, but the Liao Dynasty simply took out so much money and grain for transportation.

There is still a little bit of food for people to eat, but the forage is too bad, especially the war horses of the Liao Dynasty, due to the lack of forage, most of them starved to death or died of disease! This is the most unbearable thing for the Liao people, you must know that the Liao Dynasty is basically based on cavalry, and war horses are important tools and partners of cavalry. Can a knight without a war horse still be called a knight?

Zhang Jian, Xiao Hui and others began to worry about their logistics problems, but Yelu Zongzhen did not pay attention, in his opinion, the Liao Dynasty army had never worried about the details of grain, grass and horse fodder, at this moment he saw that Li Yuanhao led the Western Xia army to flee in embarrassment, and wherever the Liao army went, the Western Xia people were invincible!

Just when Zhang Jian and Xiao Hui didn't know how to speak, Yelu Zongzhen walked out of the imperial tent proudly and said, "Prime Minister Zuo, King Han, I'm afraid you won't be able to guess what just happened!" ”

The two of them bowed inexplicably and said, "The ministers don't know." ”

"He, Li Yuanhao, sent a messenger, and he actually wants to surrender!"

Zhang Jian and Xiao Hui were shocked, they didn't see the so-called Yuanhao envoys, but there were just some captured Tanguts, could it be that there were Li Yuanhao's envoys among these Tanguts?

Sure enough, as they guessed, Yelu Zongzhen smiled and waved his hand: "This envoy is really shabby, let alone me, even the palace tent army didn't see what kind of character he was, and took it without saying a word, only to find out that he was actually Li Yuanhao's envoy, and he came with a letter of surrender." ”

Zhang Jian said: "Your Majesty, at this time, Li Yuanhao's request to surrender is suspicious, I am afraid that it is his plan to delay the army!" ”

Xiao Hui completely agreed with Zhang Jian's statement, after such a long pursuit, he had already discovered that something was wrong, the distance of the Liao army deep into Western Xia was too much!

And in addition to the party clan accounts that were killed and injured when they came, the so-called battle exploits were only the killing of the enemy when they fought with Wu Zang Pang, and they were chasing Yuan Hao's department along the way, but they didn't have any gains.

Looking back, this must be Li Yuanhao's trick, the army of Da Liao is already sleepy, and the excited Majesty still let the army pursue, and at this time Yuan Hao appropriately sent people to "ask for surrender", and the smell of conspiracy became stronger and stronger.

As soon as Zhang Jian's plan to delay the army came out, Xiao Hui felt that Da Liao had been deceived!

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zuo is right, Li Yuanhao avoided without fighting, the place where he passed was a scorched earth, although my 100,000 cavalry in Daliao came and went like the wind, but they also needed to be supplemented with food and horse materials, this matter Yuan Hao asked for fear that it was a plan to delay the army!"

The two poured a basin of cold water on Yelu Zongzhen, Yelu Zongzhen is not a fool, a little calculation will know that what Xiao Hui and Zhang Jian said is true, the army is chasing Yuan Hao's department all the way, and they have not attacked the city, and they have not gotten much food.

Yelu Zongzhen said to Zhang Jian tentatively: "Then why don't you approve Li Yuanhao's invitation?" "It's more important than the safety of the army in terms of face, to be precise, it's his own safety, he doesn't want to be laughed at by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhang Jian and Xiao Hui glanced at each other, Your Majesty is still too naïve, this Li Yuanhao's request to surrender is mostly to delay, the Western Xia's Tanma has been wandering near the military camp, how can he not know that the soldiers of Da Liao are already sleepy at this time?

As soon as the two of them were about to reply, they heard a rumbling sound, which was the resonance of the horse's hooves in contact with the earth, and the soles of their feet trembled slightly, Xiao Hui's face was ugly, and said: "Yuan Hao, Xiao'er, dare to bully me Da Liao!" Your Majesty sits firmly in the middle army, and the minister leads the army to meet the enemy! ”

Yelu Zongzhen's face flushed, Li Yuanhao, who had just come to ask for surrender, actually led the army to raid his imperial tent, and threw his imperial seal to Xiao Hui and said: "Shameless, shameless!" Xiao Hui, the king of Han, led my imperial tent cavalry to battle, be sure to give Li Yuanhao color! ”

"Xiao Hui obeys!"

The Imperial Tent Cavalry is the elite of the Great Liao, almost all of them are heavy armored cavalry, and the combat skills on the horse are also perfect, and under the black armor are a pair of eyes burning with raging flames.

With Xiao Hui's order, five thousand imperial tent cavalry rushed out of the camp gate like a black iron stream, and behind them were the Khitan warriors shouting loudly, giving them unlimited power, only the most powerful warriors on the grassland could be so cheered!

Li Yuanhao gambled this time, and brought more than 10,000 collision Linglang captured from the Western Regions as the front army, these so-called collision commanders are actually prisoner death squads, and the real party army is behind, just give them some rudimentary weapons and empty promises, so that these people who are about to face death can get a glimmer of life, so as to fight for that small desire to survive, in Li Yuanhao's eyes, charging into battle with these people is the most cost-effective.

In Li Yuanhao's view, the collision of more than 10,000 people was enough to make the tired Liao army chaotic, and this was the first time he sacrificed this death squad in front of the Liao people.

But when Xiao Hui led the Imperial Tent cavalry to rush in like an iron stream, the whole battle situation was almost one-sided, and the Liao people, armed to the teeth, only used a cup of tea to kill more than 10,000 people to kill Ling Lang, and their sharp swords could easily harvest the life of the clothed body, as simple as a knife cutting butter.

The garrison led by Li Yuanhao, the capture army soon encountered the Liao Dynasty's imperial tent cavalry, and the entire Liao Dynasty's army seemed to be driven by these cavalry like a tide, and the mountains roared and the tsunami was amazing.

Originally, the Liao army had been chasing Li Yuanhao's army, but now Li Yuanhao led his troops to attack the camp, how could it be reasonable not to fight?

Seeing that Xiao Hui's imperial tent cavalry had penetrated the enemy formation, the Liao army naturally pounced on the Western Xia army in pursuit of a greater degree of killing and wounding the enemy.

This is the collision of the main forces of the Liao Dynasty and the Western Xia, no one will relax, a war that has been delayed for a long time has finally begun, Li Yuanhao has no way to retreat, he can only bite the bullet, and the Liao people are looking forward to this decisive battle, if they cannot win, what awaits them will be a long and dangerous retreat......

The balance of victory seemed to favor the Liao Dynasty in its favor, Yelu Zongzhen saw the role of the Imperial Tent Cavalry clearly, and put all the elites in his hands into the battlefield, and more than 10,000 people were quickly eliminated by the Liao Dynasty.
