Chapter 23 Decisive battle, decisive battle

At the foot of Yinshan Mountain on the border of Xia and Liao, Li Liangzuo led the Xia army's 4,000 Iron Cavalry to penetrate the Liao army's 100,000 light cavalry. The Xia army's Iron Cavalry pointed directly at Yelu Chongyuan's central army. Yelu Chongyuan immediately ordered the central infantry to defend with round formations. Infantry fighting on the plains was no match for the cavalry. The Liao army still had the possibility of defending it with round formations.

For the Xia and Liao armies, the most important thing now is time. It takes time for the Liao army's 100,000 cavalry to turn around and return to the rescue. It takes time for the Xia army to break through the Liao army's infantry formation. The Liao army must return to the rescue before the Xia army breaks through the Central Army. Only in this way can the Liao army take down the main force of the Xia army in one fell swoop.

At the same time, the 60,000 light cavalry of the Xia army passed through the gap between the Liao army's front and central army, and directly supported the iron kite led by Li Liangzuo; in fact, this was the way Li Liangzuo came up to fight against the Liao army; Li Liangzuo's tactics drew on the tactics of the later Mongolian army during the Western Expedition. In order to defeat the strong with the weak, Li Liangzuo made some changes to lead the Liao army away from the battlefield without completely annihilation of the heavy cavalry of the Liao army.

In this way, on the battlefields of Liao and Xia, there were only the heavily armored cavalry of the Xia army, Iron Harrier. After Iron Harrier and 60,000 light cavalry converged, Li Liangzuo shouted loudly: "Break the formation, break the formation..."

"Break the formation, break the formation, break the formation..."

More than 60,000 Xia soldiers shouted "Breaking the Formation" and rushed towards the Liao army's infantry round formation. The Xia army still used the arrow formation, with elite iron kite heavy armored cavalry leading the formation, and 60,000 light cavalry behind them, attacking the round formation at a little.

At this time, the Liao army formation was like a thorn-covered turtle shell. Li Liangzuo led the heavily armored cavalry Iron Harrier to the turtle shell.

"Sign up the shield..."

"Shoot the arrow..."

Facing the rain of arrows all over the sky, Li Liangzuo shouted loudly: "The whole army charges..."

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The heavy armored cavalry of the Xia army had an intimate contact with the giant shield soldiers of the Liao army. The sprinting force of the heavy armored cavalry instantly drilled a hole in the Liao army's turtle shell formation, which was like a group of tanks hitting a wooden wall. The defensive formation composed simply of infantry in front of the heavy armored cavalry was easily broken. Of course, in order to break the hard turtle shell, the Xia army's iron kite also lost a lot.

But all this is worth it. After the Liao army's defensive formation was broken, the 60,000 light cavalry that followed immediately expanded the gap. Then the Xia army's cavalry units bloomed from all directions and rushed to different directions of the Liao army's formation. Li Liangzuo led the elite cavalry troops to Yelu Chongyuan's commanding flag.

After Li Liangzuo captured the Liao army's central army formation, the Liao army's 100,000 light cavalry also came straight to Li Liangzuo, but it was too late, and the failure of the Liao army was almost a foregone conclusion.

"Brothers, follow me to capture and kill Yelu Chongyuan..." Li Liangzuo shouted loudly.

"Capture and kill Yelu Chongyuan, capture and kill Yelu Chongyuan..."

"King, the iron kite of the Xia army has come here, and our defense line has been broken by the Xia army..." The deputy general said to Yelu Chongyuan.

Yelu Chongyuan shouted to the deputy general with a ferocious face: "I have not been defeated yet. My 100,000 cavalry is still there. We still have a chance to send me the command to take over the guard camp and insist on until reinforcements arrive."

After the Liao army's central army formation was broken, the entire battlefield seemed very chaotic. The Liao army had lost its unified command and began to fight on its own. The Xia army attacked everywhere and continued to attack the gathering Liao army troops. As long as the Xia army found that the Liao army began to gather, they would definitely be destroyed first. In this way, the Liao army could not form a new line of defense at all.

The battle lasted for two hours. Two hours later, the Liao army was defeated and retreated eastward. When Yelu Chongyuan retreated, Li Liangzuo ordered all 60,000 light cavalry to start chasing the Liao army, and the main target of the pursuit was the cavalry of the Liao army. The pursuit continued from morning to evening.

"Your Majesty, the Liao army has been defeated by us. The battalions have begun to hunt down the Liao army according to Your Majesty's will." The deputy general said to Li Liangzuo.

Li Liangzuo, who had been stained with blood, took off his heavy helmet, looked at the battlefield where corpses were everywhere, and the battlefield covered with blood, meat sauce, and limbs, Li Liangzuo felt that his stomach was constantly rolling, "Wow, wow, wow..." Li Liangzuo finally couldn't help but vomited out, and his stomach was sore and sore.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" the deputy general asked anxiously.

Li Liangzuo waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. I'm passing on my military orders and take all the prisoners back to the city, and detain the officers and ordinary soldiers separately..."

"As for orders..."

In the evening, Li Liangzuo changed into clean clothes and sat on the seat of the generals in the general's palace waiting for the generals to come back. The celebration banquet was ready. The Xia army won a great victory in this battle, but Li Liangzuo did not have too many smiles on his face.

"Report to Your Majesty, our army defeated 200,000 Liao army in this war, including 70,000 prisoners, more than 40,000 people were killed, and more than 60,000 war horses were seized, and countless other weapons, armor, and food were countless. Now the Liao army camp has been captured by our army. Yale Chongyuan has led the remaining troops and horses to defeat the east..." Li Yi reported to Li Liangzuohui.

"Okay, generals, our Daxia Kingdom won a great victory in this battle. I have prepared good wine and meat to reward the soldiers of the three armies. Tell my brothers to let go of food and drink, and I will have enough wine and meat tonight..."

Li Liangzuo stayed at the celebration banquet for a while before leaving. Li Liangzuo felt deeply in this battle. This was the first time Li Liangzuo fought in two lives, the first time to charge and the first time to kill people, which made Li Liangzuo unable to calm down for a long time.

"Your Majesty, it's so late, why did you come to the top of the city alone? I'm looking for you everywhere!" Jila Siyi walked to Li Liangzuo and asked.

Li Liangzuo woke up from his thoughts and saw Jila Siyi and asked, "It turns out it is Jila General. I wonder what the general is asking me for?"

"The last general comes to apologize to Your Majesty. Today, the last general will hit Your Majesty in front of the formation. This is a death sentence." Jila Siyi said with one knee on his knee.

"General, please get up quickly. I have never led troops to fight. It is appropriate for the general to question it. This matter has passed. Don't mention it again in the future." Li Liangzuo said to Jila Siyi with a smile.

"Yes, the last general thanked Your Majesty; he was dissatisfied with Your Majesty that this battle was the most enjoyable time for the last general to fight against the Liao army. Even when the late emperor fought against the Liao army, he could only lure the Liao army into our territory, and then strengthen the walls and clear the fields to win. In this way, our Daxia Kingdom has suffered heavy losses every time;

But today, Your Majesty wins more with fewer people, causing our army to kill and capture more than 100,000 Liao troops, while our army loses less than 10,000 people. This victory is entirely up to Your Majesty to plan and the final admiration is extremely... "Ji La Siyi said with emotion.

Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "The general is too modest. It is a lucky chance for our army to win this time. Although our army has a great victory, it still cannot compete with the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom is entrenched in the north and has a vast territory. No matter the country, people, taxes, or military troops, we are not comparable to our country!

Therefore, our army could only fight quickly and decide quickly. Before the Liao Kingdom responded, it completely defeated the Liao army, so that the Liao army would not dare to compete with our army again. Only in this way can we ensure long-term stability in the northern border of our country."

"It seems that Your Majesty has long been a strategy. I wonder if Your Majesty can tell the last general?" Jila Siyi asked Li Liangzuo.
