Chapter 385: The Serbian Army's Counterattack (1)
After discovering the iron cavalry that appeared in the north of him, Maliksha immediately sent an ambush outside his camp, waiting for the arrival of this enemy army. At this time, the cavalry that appeared in the north of the Serbian army would know that it was the Geluo cavalry. The 50,000 Geluo cavalry were led by Timur. After receiving Li Liangzuo's military order, Timur led a 50,000 army from the north to the south to rescue. After this period of renovation, the combat effectiveness of the Geluo cavalry greatly increased.
"Your Highness, not far from our army is the Serbian camp. According to the mail cavalry, the Serbian camp is strictly guarded and it is not easy to succeed in sneak attacks." Palertak said to Timur.
"It is precisely because of the strict garrison of our army that our army is easy to succeed. The strict garrison of the Seychelles showed that we did not find us. As long as our army can successfully attack, it will definitely cause severe damage to the Seychelles. The prince has decided, so General Paler doesn't need to say much." Timur said to Paler Tak.
After a while of repair, 50,000 Gralu cavalry embarked on the journey. Timur would not have thought that his every move was actually under the surveillance of Maliksha. From the beginning, Timur's surprise attack was doomed to fail. When Timur led the Serbian army camp, it went very smoothly. Too smooth made Timur feel something strange. Timur immediately realized that he was ambushed.
Seeing Timur stopping in front of the Serbian army's camp, Palertak asked Timur: "Why did Your Highness suddenly stop marching?"
"What's wrong, we may have fallen into a trap and ordered the entire army to retreat slowly." Timur decisively issued a military order.
But it was too late to react at this time. Tiemur had just ordered his retreat, and the Sui army, who were ambushing outside the camp, suddenly came out. In this passive situation, Tiemur could only lead troops and Palertak to block the army and cover the evacuation of the army. Because it was dark, the two armies were mainly cavalry, so the entire battlefield was very chaotic. In this chaotic situation, the cavalry was not as flexible as the infantry. Under the strangulation of the Sui army, the Gelu cavalry fell one by one under the horse, and the living space of the Gelu army was reduced and smaller.
"Your Highness, break through quickly! If you don't break through, the 50,000 troops will probably be left here." Palertak suggested to Timur.
"Sentence the entire army to break through and break through immediately..."
"Your Majesty, the enemy seems to be running away." A deputy general came to Maliksha and said.
"These cavalry are not Xia troops." Maliksha said as he looked at the battlefield where the shouts of killing sounds were noisy.
"What does your majesty mean to let them go?" the deputy general asked Maliksha.
Maliksha said: "Our biggest enemy is now the Xia army. If we continue to fight, we will only increase the casualties of our army. We will order the army to let them go!"
"But your Majesty, let them go, what if they return again?"
"Don't worry! They will not return; in addition, our army had just fought a big battle during the day and marched for a long distance. It was already at the end of its strength. It would be meaningless to continue to fight. Let's send an order!"
"Yes, the last general will take the order."
With Maliksha being proud of his actions, Timur led the remaining troops and horses to escape from the encirclement of the Serbian army in a panic. In this battle, the Gelulu cavalry suffered heavy losses, losing nearly 30,000 troops. The Gelulu army was already seriously injured and could not fight again. Timur, who escaped from the tiger's mouth of the Serbian army, fled north and no longer had the idea of going south.
The losses of the Serbian army in this battle were minimal. After a day of repair, Maliksha led the 150,000 to 10,000 Serbian army to disappear, just as if it was evaporating from the world. Li Liangzuo once sent a whistle to cross the river to check, leaving nothing else except the empty camp.
Three days later, Li Liangzuo, the central army tent in the Xia army camp.
"Your Majesty, do you think the Serbian army has withdrawn from Samo City?" Xiao Zhuozi said with a cup of ginseng tea on Li Liangzuo's commander's case.
Li Liangzuo looked at the map and said, "It's impossible! If Maliksha leads his army back to Samo, it means he has given up the 400,000 Serb troops on the front line! This is a 400,000 army! Maliksha will never give up anyway; but the 400,000 army is already surrounded by our army, how will he rescue the 400,000 army!"
"Your Majesty, although our army is surrounded by the Serbian army, it has not completely surrounded the Serbian army. It is just blocking the Serbian army's retreat..."
"The way back..." Li Liangzuo said after wrinkling but not doing it; "No, I hope things can still come."
"Send the order to set out immediately." Li Liangzuo issued an anxious military order.
"What happened to Your Majesty?" Xiao Zhuozi asked Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo immediately became angry and said, "That's that much nonsense, go and pass the order quickly. If it's too late, I will peel you off."
Looking at Li Liangzuo's face with a ferocious expression, Xiao Zhuo's son rolled and crawled out of the tent and sent an order. Li Liangzuo was so anxious because he discovered a loophole in his own way. According to the plan he formulated at the beginning, it can be said that the Xia army was flawless, but due to the later plan change, a loophole appeared, that is, the defense line on the south bank of the Honghe River. According to the original plan, the Xia army would annihilate the 400,000 main army of the Seychelles front line and advance along the two banks of the Honghe River in north and south. However, because Malikesha increased its troops, Li Liangzuo had to choose to surround the 400,000 main force of the Seychelles, and then lead troops alone to block Malikesha's 300,000 reinforcements.
In Li Liangzuo's opinion, as long as he could block Maliksha's 300,000 troops for more than ten days, the 400,000 troops on the front line of the 400,000 troops would lose their combat effectiveness due to food and grass. At that time, the Xia army would be able to wipe out all the 400,000 soldiers soldiers like a destruction. Without these 400,000 elite troops, the remaining remaining troops of the 400,000 troops would be easy to deal with, and they could be killed even if they were filled with their lives. But now Li Liangzuo made a mistake. Once Maliksha met with the 400,000 troops, the situation would have changed.
After the army was assembled, Li Liangzuo decisively issued a military order: "I ordered the entire army to give up all supplies and supplies, evacuate from Xicheng at full speed and join the main army with the main army."
"I hope there is still time..." Li Liangzuo said silently.
The Xia cavalry rushed to the west city, but it was too late to go any further. After Maliksha evacuated on the west bank of the Honghe River, he marched east along the Honghe River. The Serbian army advanced fifty miles south of the south bank of the Honghe River. The Serbian army crossed the Honghe River a hundred miles west of the west city on the north bank of the Honghe River. This area is a plain area and the water flows in the upper reaches of the Honghe River are not so turbulent. Therefore, Maliksha led 150,000 Xia troops and successfully crossed the Honghe River.
