Chapter 476: The Battle of Xinzhou (1)
In the face of the 'encroachment' of the enemy's powerful cavalry, it is very important to stabilize the position of your own soldiers at this time!
But...... Liang Bo had a problem in front of him.
It is necessary to stabilize the position, but also to attack to prevent the cavalry from bypassing the Xinzhou camp and going straight to Taiyuan!
Because Taiyuan is almost an empty city, Liang Bo doesn't know whether Li Zhun has arranged soldiers in Taiyuan City!
But...... Liang Bo saw Li Zhun pull out 300,000 horses with his own eyes, as well as Di Qing's 200,000 cavalry, at this time, where did you let Taiyuan City conjure up an army?
So Liang Bo must attack out!
Rao is Liang Bo, who has experienced a hundred battles, and knows that he will be defeated if he attacks, but at this time, he has no second choice at all.
There is no way back in war!
Liang Bo glanced around at his side and found that he had no generals available now!
Because Li Zhun gave him soldiers and horses, but did not give him generals!
Because Liang Bo is a brave general himself, but he is just a little older.
But as a veteran, he often does not lack ambition, just like Huang Zhong, a veteran of the Three Kingdoms, when he reaches the age of 60s and 70s, he is as competitive as he is!
Huang Zhong is the role model in Liang Bo's heart and Liang Bo's idol!
Liang Bo rode on his horse and coldly observed the Liao cavalry who had charged again and again on this battlefield! Their charges were inconsistent, whether it was the main attack or the feint attack, they all achieved the extreme, and the army of the An Dynasty was finally like a shark hunting a school of small fish, while the soldiers of the An Dynasty slowly tightened together, and their space for movement was compressed again and again!
Liang Bo knew that if he continued like this, he was afraid that his soldiers would go crazy, and even Liang Bo himself couldn't grasp what would happen at that time!
Because of the 100,000 army of the An Dynasty, the number has been declining sharply!
After several rounds of 'encroachment' by the Liao cavalry, it didn't take long for the An Dynasty's army in the Xinzhou battalion to lose nearly 20,000 troops!
At this time, the soldiers around Liang Bo and only 50,000 were gone!
Because of the Yanmen Pass, Liang Bo had to divide his troops to garrison, so he transferred 30,000 troops to the past.
Right now...... The strength of the two sides of Anliao is almost the same, and the iron cavalry of the Liao State fights on the flat terrain, which is simply invincible!
Besides, the soldiers of the An Dynasty were already crowded together, which was just enough for the Liao cavalry to launch the final general attack!
And when the strategic goal was achieved, the Liao cavalry began to rearrange their formations, and then changed their weapons one after another.
This time, the spears and broadswords in their hands turned into crossbows and bows!
The cavalry of the Liao State is best at riding and shooting!
Even charging and shooting, Liang Bo couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this!
"Their purpose is not Taiyuan City at all, their purpose is to eat us!" Liang Bo shouted at his herald, and hurriedly ordered: "Quick, stand shields, protect the archers, pikemen come forward!" ”
All along, Liang Bo thought that the other party's target was Taiyuan, so he ...... Liang Bo has always held an attitude of preferring death to retreat, and wanted to stop the cavalry of the Liao State in Xinzhou.
Because Xinzhou and Taiyuan are too close, even if the ministers of Taiyuan know that the Liao army has arrived in Xinzhou, it will be too late to retreat!
Because the Liao State sent cavalry.
But now, Liang Bo finally understands!
It turns out that the enemy's target is not only Taiyuan, but also his own army and his own army!
God knows what the commander of the cavalry of the Liao State thinks, this is simply a madman!
A madman on the battlefield, a megalomaniacal maniac!
actually wanted to use a mere 60,000 cavalry to swallow the defenders of Xinzhou and kill Taiyuan in one pot!
What is this not a madman?
But......
It's just such a plan that Liang Bo thinks is a madman, a plan that Liang Bo can't think of, but in front of him, it has achieved very good results!
At least...... The defenders of Xinzhou are already under the tiger's mouth of the Liao cavalry!
At the same time, the Dingxiang side also started fighting.
Li Zhun asked Cao Xiang and Fu Heng to be the vanguard, and gave them 200,000 troops to attack the city!
But...... But the situation was never satisfactory.
The walls of Dingxiang City were climbed up by the soldiers of the An Dynasty again and again, but they were repelled by the Liao State again and again!
If they are repulsed, the soldiers are equivalent to death, either they were thrown off the city wall and fell to their deaths, or they were killed by the spears of the Liao soldiers, or they were scalded to death by boiling oil, or they were stoned to death by a big stone on a ladder!
There are all kinds of ways to die.
Such a primitive siege lasted for a long time!
Li Zhun never gave the order to stop the siege, because he wanted to give everyone a signal.
Let his soldiers know that this time he is determined, even if the loss is great, he will take Dingxiang, he will defeat Yelu Aluhan and Zhang Yuanzhi, and he will drive the Liao people out of the border of the An Dynasty!
At the same time, it is also necessary to let Yelu Aluhan and Zhang Yuanzhi know that the people of the An Dynasty are not bloodless, and the soldiers of the An Dynasty are not afraid of death!
Moreover, Li Zhun obviously relied on his own large number of people, and it was on his own territory, so he used the number of people and wheel warfare to consume the Liao army!
Three soldiers on the side of the An Dynasty will die, as long as you fight to kill one of your Liao army!
But......
In the era of cold weapons, how difficult was it to siege a city?
What's more, Liao still has an army of 100,000 and is fully prepared for you to attack the city!
Therefore, the An Dynasty did not stand on the cheap, and it was very difficult for Li Zhun's ideal three An Dynasty soldiers to fight a Liao soldier!
Because the soldiers of the Liao State occupied the height of the city wall, the advantage was really too great!
The siege battle, in the succession of the soldiers of the An Dynasty, came to an end at night!
In one afternoon, the An Dynasty lost 50,000 soldiers, as well as some partial generals, and the battle was very tragic!
After returning to the camp, Li Zhun's brows were furrowed deeply!
He knew that Dingxiang City was difficult to breach, so Li Zhun was not worried about the siege and the loss of soldiers, he was worried about ...... Why did Yelu Aluhan and Zhang Yuan not retreat, why did the Liao army stick to Dingxiang and have an attitude of fighting to the death with themselves!
Originally, Yelu Aluhan did not withdraw his troops and fought a decisive battle with himself, which was originally the result that Li Zhun hoped for, but ...... When this hope came true, Li Zhun felt that something was wrong!
Because Yelu Aluhan and Zhang Yuanzhi's approach is a bit abnormal, even very abnormal!
What is the reason why they don't retreat?
Why don't they retreat?
Is it just a wall of Xiangcheng?
It's impossible, there must be some conspiracy, they must have some purpose for staying in Dingxiang, but they just didn't think of it!
Li Zhun's expression was cloudy, and because of Li Zhun's contemplation, the other generals in the camp also held their breath, waiting for Li Zhun to speak!
