Chapter 741 The decisive battle of Sichuan and Shu (1)

Under the pressure of the Daxia Empire, Dali State finally sent troops, and Dali State sent troops to the north for 150,000 troops. Within half a month, it can be said that the army of Dali caught Dashen off guard. The Song Dynasty court never expected that Dali, a small country located in a remote border, would dare to attack itself. Dali's attack restrained a considerable portion of the Song army's forces, but these restraints were also very limited.

The surrounding Wei City has been surrounded by 200,000 troops of the Sichuan and Shu army. The 50,000 Yizhou army led by Li Yue has been completely surrounded, and the Song army is still increasing its troops. After being surrounded, Li Yue still has no reaction. The Xia army still drinks big gulp and eats meat. Although the Xia army has been repairing during this period, it is not idle. Li Yue paid for money to buy a large amount of wine and meat from the people in Shu in the surrounding villages and towns to work hard.

In the Xia army's central tent, Xu Da hurriedly walked in and said to Li Yue who was drinking and eating meat: "My commander! Don't drink anymore. Now the camp is surrounded by water and food is eaten up. If this continues, we will be starved to death."

Li Yue smiled drunkenly and said, "Don't worry! If you can't starve, how much food and grass do we have now?"

"There is still one day's food. If we don't send troops tomorrow, the 50,000 troops will be completely finished." Xu Da said with a sad face.

"Isn't there still a day's food? Come and sit down and drink and eat meat with me." Li Yue said to Xu Da.

Xu Da had no choice but to sit down and drink aside, while Li Yue was still eating and drinking without taking this at all. The next morning, just dawn, a sudden sound of war drums came from the Xia army's camp. The sleeping Xia army soldiers immediately put on their armor and picked up their weapons to gather at the university. At this time, Li Yue, who was drunk last night, was standing on the university platform like nothing happened!

The Xia army's assembly speed was still very fast. After the army was assembled, Xu Da came late. Li Yue glanced at Xu Da and said to the soldiers of the army: "Brothers, you should already know our situation now. There must be at least 200,000 Song troops around us, and our army now only has one day's food. People come to serve food."

Not long after, all the wine and meat were put on. Li Yue continued to say to everyone: "Brothers, you are all warriors of the Great Xia Empire. In the past, we were invincible and invincible. Today we can do this. Although the strength of the Song army is several times that of ours, they are all new recruits who have never been on the battlefield and cannot be compared with us. Brothers who want to leave here alive will follow the general to fight out after their last meal and drive the Song army to death..."

"Drive everything, kill everything..." All the Xia army soldiers roared in thunder.

It was not until this moment that Xu Da understood what Li Yue meant. This is what the so-called "putting it to death and living" desire to survive can bring unprecedented courage to the Xia army soldiers and make the Xia army soldiers burst out with super combat power, which is exactly what Li Yue needs now.

"What's going on? What's the sound?" Wu Jie asked the general beside him.

"Report to the Grand Marshal, it seems that the voice came from the Xia army camp..."

As soon as the general said, an officer guarding the battalion came in and said, "Report to the Grand Commander, the Xia army has sent a challenge letter. If you want to decide the victory or defeat with our army."

"Master, do we want to fight?" the general said to Wu Jie.

"What do you mean!" Wu Jie asked the general instead.

The general said to Wu Jie: "As far as the last generals are concerned, we are not going to fight. Now the Xia army has run out of ammunition and food. As long as our army continues to siege, we can take down this Xia army without any effort."

"What makes sense." Wu Jie said to the general: "But you are not considering it comprehensively. If our army does not accept the challenge of the Xia army, what do you think the next move of the Xia army will be?"

"What else can I do? Just stick to the camp." The general said to Wu Jie.

Wu Jie shook his head and said, "No, the Xia army will not defend the camp. They will break through. Once the Xia army breaks out and is encircled and annihilated them, it will be difficult. You should know the combat power of the Xia army. If they are really allowed to enter the hinterland of Sichuan and Shu, the people behind us will suffer. In this command, the Xia army has received news that the reinforcements of the Xia army have arrived. The Xia army sent reinforcements from the West and North Roads respectively, and instigated the Dali Kingdom to launch an attack on our army from the south. Once they are allowed to attack inside and outside, the Sichuan and Shu land will probably not be able to be saved.

So if you want to resist the subsequent Xia army, you must completely eliminate the Xia army, and order the army to gather immediately, and send someone to send a message to Li Yue, saying that the general will accept his letter of war."

"Yes, the last general understands." The general immediately took the order.

After the war book was sent to Wu Jie's hands, 50,000 Xia army left the camp under the leadership of Li Yue. After the Xia army left, Li Yue burned his camp with fire. In other words, from now on, all the retreat routes of the Xia army have been cut off. This battle will affect the life and death of the 50,000 Xia army soldiers. If they are defeated, there will be only one way to die. If it is a miserable victory, it will be useless. For the Xia army, it is necessary to win a great victory. Only by winning can you seize the necessities of life from the Song army.

The sound of war drums of "dong, dong, dong..." sounded from the battlefield. Li Yue looked at the dense Song army formations opposite him. The Song army now has not only 200,000 troops, but 300,000 troops. And as time goes by, this number continues to rise. Although the Song army has a large number of troops, the training for major events is extremely limited, especially the subsequent troops have not received much training. The main force of the Song army is the 200,000 elite Song army troops who have been trained.

Looking at the Song army's formation, Li Yue ordered: "Xu Da obeys the order, and use the sound of cannons as a horn. You lead all the cavalry to attack the Song army's formation for me, and the target is directed to the Song army's formation. You must cut off the head of the Wu rank to see me."

"Yes, the last general takes the order..."

"Architecture, rejuvenation cannon, bed crossbow ready... to release..."

With the order of Wu Jie, five artillery and dozens of Hui artillery began to launch a fierce attack on the Song army's formation. The fierce turbulent oil and flowering bullets caused great casualties to the Song army. At the same time, Xu Da led more than 30,000 cavalry to rush towards the Song army's formation under the cover of artillery fire.

After being attacked by the Xia army's artillery fire, Wu Jie also ordered: "Send the entire army to suppress the attack..."

The two armies collided fiercely outside Wei City. The Sichuan and Shu army were mainly infantry and suffered considerable losses under the attack of Xia army artillery fire and cavalry, but these losses were a drop in the bucket for the Song army. As the Song army got closer and closer to the Xia army's central army, Li Yue personally commanded also began to move towards the Song army; the bird gunner used a three-stage strike method to place the attacking Song army pieces with dense rain of bullets, and placed the attacking Song army within the range of the Xia army's bird guns.
