In the evening, on the city wall east of the city of Huluo, Li Liangzuo looked at the camp of the Liao army in the sun, looking at the boundless camp tent of the Liao army, Li Liangzuo's scalp was numb; The Khitan people were born nomadic and have strong combat power, and they are the most powerful military group in China in this era, and now Li Liangzuo has to fight with such a strong opponent with inferior troops, and his heart is naturally bottomless.

"Your Majesty, you've been standing here for more than an hour, it's dark, let's go back!" Li Yi walked up to Li Liangzuo and said.

Li Liangzuo looked at the brightly lit Liao army camp under the city and said, "Li Yi, do you think I can win this battle?" ”

"I believe that Your Majesty will be able to defeat the enemy army." Li Yi said firmly.

Li Liangzuo smiled bitterly and said, "Li Yi, do you know? We must not only win this battle, but also win beautifully, only in this way can we suppress the young people in the court; And these 50,000 troops must be firmly controlled in my hands, with these 50,000 elites, I, Li Liangzuo, can be invincible. ”

It turned out that in addition to fighting with the Liao army, Li Liangzuo came with more than 50,000 elite troops, which were originally led by the Wuzang family, and with this army, they could firmly control the government without hiding the false Pang, and now Li Liangzuo pulled this army to the battlefield, which is equivalent to making Wuzang lose his support, as long as Li Liangzuo completely controls this army and returns to Xingqing Mansion, it is equivalent to the Wuzang family's rule over Western Xia collapsed half of the sky.

Li Yi never thought that Li Liangzuo would think like this in his heart, although he knew Li Liangzuo's thoughts, but Li Yi was still very worried about the overall battle situation, after all, the battlefield was changing rapidly, and anything could happen, not to mention that the elite troops of the Liao army were opposite.

The tense atmosphere of the war made Li Liangzuo unable to sleep all night, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Liangzuo looked at a sheepskin map alone, and continued to practice on the ground, but slowly Li Liangzuo found that he was not the opponent of the Liao army in any case, and the two sides did not have an advantage in terms of troops, weapons and equipment, and even the time, place, and people of Li Liangzuo.

Li Liangzuo thought about it, and there was only one way to defeat the Liao army, and that was to win by surprise; If the first battle is defeated, the Xia army is estimated to be crushed for thousands of miles, and the entire Hetao will fall under the iron hooves of the Liao army.

Early in the morning, Li Liangzuo's eyes were bloodshot and walked out of the big tent, the sergeants outside the big tent had begun to bury the pot to cook, for many people, this may be the last time to eat in their lives, Li Liangzuo came to the sergeant who was eating and sat down, and the sergeants looked sincerely afraid.

Li Liangzuo smiled and said to the sergeant: "Go and get another bowl of rice, and you will give me this bowl to eat!" ”

The sergeant looked at Li Liangzuo with a shocked face for a while, and then said loudly, "Yes." ”

Soon the news that Emperor Li Liangzuo had dinner with the soldiers spread throughout the barracks, there was a world of difference between the ancient generals and ordinary soldiers, and the generals had their own small stoves, not to mention that Li Liangzuo was still the emperor, and he ate with ordinary soldiers, which was a great honor for the soldiers.

At this time, Li Liangzuo gathered a lot of soldiers around him, Li Liangzuo looked at the food in the bowl, the food in the barracks was actually very poor, each person had a big bowl of brown rice in the bowl, and some pickled pickles were covered with the rice, and there was also a large piece of fatty meat; This fat is not available in every meal, and it is only before the great war that the soldiers can eat a piece of fat.

"My mother, alas! It's really Your Majesty eating with our gang of Qiu Ba! If I had gone back to the village and told my family that I had eaten with the emperor, my aunt would not have believed it. A veteran looked at Li Liangzuo with straight eyes and muttered.

Li Liangzuo pulled two mouthfuls of rice, saw that everyone was looking at him, and said vaguely regardless of what he was eating: "What are you doing looking at me?" Let's hurry up and eat! After eating, we still have to do the turtle grandchildren of Liaoguo! ”

Li Liangzuo's words just fell and caused the soldiers to laugh, at this moment these ordinary soldiers felt that the emperor was so approachable, since Li Liangzuo said to eat quickly, these soldiers naturally did not dare to slack off, and they all took out the strength to eat milk and stuffed it into their mouths, Li Liangzuo looked at these simple soldiers and got infinite comfort in his heart.

"Brothers, do you think we can win this battle?" Li Liangzuo asked the soldiers beside him.

"We will definitely win and send the Liao people back to their hometown......"

"Beat him up ...... turtle grandson"

"Hahaha......"

Li Liangzuo did not expect that his swear words, in the later time turned out to become the Xia army's general name for the Liao army, after the soldiers finished eating, Li Liangzuo personally beat the drums to gather the generals, accompanied by the "dong, dong, dong......" war drums, all the soldiers in the city of Luo Luo were assembled in the school field.

Li Liangzuo said to the soldiers on the tall school platform: "Brothers, outside the city is the 200,000 army of the Liao State, they invade our Great Xia Kingdom, want to kill our relatives, plunder our wives and daughters, and occupy our fields, do you agree?" ”

"No...... Don't say yes......"

"Okay, they are all iron-clad men, I don't talk much nonsense, everyone in this battle, including me, has no retreat, you retreat and kill you, I retreat and kill me; The goal of this battle was only one to kill the Liao army...... Kill, kill, kill......"

"Kill, kill, kill......"

Li Liangzuo's words suddenly made the morale of the 80,000 Xia troops high, and the shouts of killing soared into the sky, including 4,000 heavy armored cavalry, 60,000 light cavalry, 7,000 crossbowmen, and 10,000 foot soldiers.

Since this battle was a cavalry duel, Li Liangzuo took away all the light and heavy cavalry, and there were also 5,000 crossbowmen, leaving only 12,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city.

Outside the city of Huluo, at the foot of Yin Mountain, Li Liangzuo led 70,000 troops to seize the favorable terrain, backed by Yin Mountain array, although the Liao army did not fight in the terrain advantage, but there were many people, Xia and Liao armies at the foot of Yin Mountain lined up in a circle, and the two sides could fight at any time.

"Look, the formation of the Xia army is too strange, it is not reasonable to let the light cavalry take the lead and the heavy cavalry behind!" The adjutant general said to Yelu Chongyuan.

Yelu Chongyuan smiled and said to the deputy general: "I heard that the commander of the Xia army this time is Li Liangzuo, the lord of the Western Xia, and a boy who has not grown Qi Mao does not know how to fight at all. ”

"The king has an order, and those who capture the lord of the Western Xia country alive will be rewarded with thousands of gold, and the marquis of ten thousand households will be sealed......"

Li Liangzuo smiled when he heard the shouts of the Liao army camp, and Ji Lai Siyi next to him suggested to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, do we want to adjust the formation and put the heavy armored cavalry in front." ”

"No, General Jila, please trust my judgment." Li Liangzuo said with a serious face; "Li Yi asked the sergeant to shout, 'Capture Yelu Chongyuan alive, reward one tael of silver, one head of cattle and one sheep'."

"This ...... Your Majesty's reward is too little! Li Yi said.

"Just shout." Li Liangzuo said: "When the Liao army attacks for a while, Ji La Siyi and Li Yi, the two of you each lead 30,000 light cavalry to fight the 30,000 heavy armored cavalry hanging the Liao army with arrow feathers......"
