"Newspaper, newspaper, newspaper...... Your Majesty, the Serbian army has crossed the river with about 100,000 troops. A sentry rode a pegasus to Li Liangzuo's side and reported.

"Order the ministries to act according to the original plan." Li Liangzuo issued a military order.

With the issuance of the military order, the 100,000 Xia army immediately launched an action, the 70,000 Xia army light cavalry was divided into two parts to attack the Cypriot army first, the distance of fifty miles is not far for the cavalry at all, the cavalry raid is most of the time to arrive, Li Liangzuo and Ji La Yong'er led the 70,000 Xia army light cavalry to a torrent straight to the Hong River, for the Xia army's surprise attack, the Cypriot army can be said to have no preparation, the Cypriot army that had just crossed the Hong River had not yet come and set up a position to create a blow to the Xia army.

Seeing the messy Xia army formation on the riverbank, Li Liangzuo excitedly issued a military order: "Pass the order, and all departments will implement it according to the plan." ”

The Xia army was divided into two parts under the leadership of Li Liangzuo and Ji La Yong'er, interspersed back and forth with deadly arrow feathers at the Serbian army, in the face of the Xia army's surprise attack, the Serbian army was completely passive and beaten, although the Serbian army also carried out a counterattack, but because the distance between the two sides was too close, the Serbian army could not urge the war horse to charge, and the river bank was a plain, there was no danger to defend at all, so the Serbian army was completely in a situation of being beaten, and the losses were very huge for a while.

After three rounds of arrow rain, Qin Hu led 30,000 Xia army heavy cavalry to the battlefield, Li Liangzuo and Ji La Yong'er led the light cavalry to withdraw from both wings after the last round of arrow rain, to Qin Hu led the heavy cavalry to make way of the attack route, after the heavy cavalry rushed into the Serbian army formation, the Xia army light cavalry turned around again and followed behind the heavy cavalry to reap the results, and the Serbian army engaged in a short encounter.

On the west bank of the Hong River, Maliksha was preparing to lead the rest of the army to cross the river, at this moment Maliksha saw this terrible scene, under the rain of arrows and heavy cavalry of the Xia army, the Serbian soldiers were ruthlessly harvested their lives, Maliksha's first reaction was to finish, this time the Serbian army's battle plan has basically been lost.

"Order the army to stop crossing the river." Maliksha decisively gave the military order.

"But Your Majesty, are we just watching more than 100,000 brothers on the other side being killed by the Xia army?" The lieutenant asked Maliksha.

"Now that the army can only cross the river to death, the Serb army on the east bank is ordered to cross the river and retreat, how much can it come back!" Maliksha said with a sigh.

Located on the east bank of the Hong River, the Serbian army is now thinking about retreating too late, the Xia army with heavy cavalry as the head of the army has been divided and surrounded on the east bank of the Hong River, and now the Serbian army is like a boiled duck with wings that cannot escape, after the division and encirclement of the Serbian army, the Xia army began to concentrate superior forces, and the encircled Serbian army is encroached on step by step, except for a small number of lucky less than 1,000 Serbian cavalry who crossed the Hong River and fled, the remaining more than 100,000 Serbian cavalry all died on the east bank of the Hong River.

Not long after the Serbian army was attacked by the Xia army, Maliksha led the remaining 1560,000 Serbian cavalry to retreat, because Li Liangzuo did not send sentinels to the west bank of the Hong River, so the movement of the Serbian army is not clear; This battle lasted from early morning to early afternoon, because Li Liangzuo accurately grasped the strategy, attacked the Serbian army halfway, and achieved an unprecedented victory without the slightest preparation of the Serbian army, Li Liangzuo's victory also completely blocked the possibility of the Serbian army crossing the Hong River and advancing eastward, and the 400,000 troops of the Serbian army on the front line were already surrounded by the Xia army.

After the end of the war, Li Liangzuo said impassionedly to the officers and men of the whole army: "Brothers, we have destroyed more than 100,000 enemies in this battle, but only these more than 100,000 heads are not enough to comfort the souls of my 200,000 Xia soldiers in the sky, this battle is not the end of the decisive battle, but only the beginning of the decisive battle; Brothers, do not be carried away by this little victory, because there are still 400,000 heads of Serbian troops waiting for you to harvest in our rear, and the victory over them is our world, and victory will ultimately be ours. ”

"Victory, victory, victory......" 100,000 Xia soldiers shouted in unison.

The army buried the pot on the spot to cook, on the battlefield full of corpses, the soldiers of the Xia army devoured dry food and drank broth, Li Liangzuo stepped on the land that had been stained red with blood and came to the bank of the Honghe River, Ji Lai Yong'er came to Li Liangzuo's side and asked: "Your Majesty, what to do with the corpses of these Serbian soldiers?" ”

Li Liangzuo said indifferently: "The heads of all the Cypriot soldiers have been cut off and laid out in Jingguan, and all the corpses have been burned. ”

After the end of the Honghe blockade battle, Li Liangzuo did not withdraw immediately, after all, Li Liangzuo did not wipe out the entire army of Maliksha, if the remaining army of the Serbian army was allowed to cross the Honghe, the situation of the Xia army was still very dangerous, the more at this critical moment, Li Liangzuo Yue needed to be cautious.

In the big tent of the Chinese army in the summer army camp, Li Liangzuo asked Xiao Zhuozi: "Have the results been counted?" ”

"Your Majesty, the results of the battle have been counted, our army suffered 1,221 casualties in this battle, and 2,000 horses; In this battle, more than 135,000 enemies were annihilated, more than 80,000 war horses were captured, all of which were excellent Arab war horses, and countless weapons and armor were captured. ”

"Then don't take it lightly, the big battle has just begun, tell the brothers to strengthen their vigilance tonight, and send sentry horses to the river to pay close attention to the movement along the river."

"Yes, the minion will do it."

On the other hand, after the failure of crossing the river, Maliksha immediately led the remaining 160,000 troops to withdraw to the battalion, and after withdrawing from the battalion, Maliksha was very unusually not angry, but stayed alone in his own Chinese army tent, Maliksha was thinking about this countermeasure, although the river crossing failed, but this does not mean that the Serbian army has no chance of winning, as long as Maliksha is fully prepared in the next operation, it is still very possible for Maliksha to lead the Serbian army to victory.

Late at night, an adjutant general hurried to Maliksha's big tent, and Mariksha said very unhappily: "What is so alarmed, what kind of system? ”

"Your Majesty, the Sentinel Cavalry has reported the discovery of a cavalry unit sixty miles north of our army's camp."

Maliksha frowned and asked the adjutant general, "What banner is the coming army fighting?" How many soldiers and horses are there? ”

"I don't know."

"Hurry up and find out, and order the army to ambush outside the camp and wait for the next military order." Maliksha gave the military order.

"Yes, the last general commands."

After the lieutenant left, Maliksha walked to the map with his hands behind his back and thought: "Whether you are here or not from the Xia army, this time you must be buried under my iron cavalry, the defeat during the day has too much impact on the morale of the army, and now our army needs a victory to boost the morale of the whole army and prepare for the next move;

Although I have lost more than 100,000 troops, the remaining soldiers and horses are adding the 400,000 troops on the front line of the Serbian army, and I still have nearly 600,000 troops, and I still have an advantage in total strength. ”

The most important thing for Maliksha now is the meeting of the two armies, and if this matter drags on for too long, the Serbian army on the front line will be in danger.

Asking for recommendations, asking for support, Tianyu is grateful......
