"This, how is this possible?!" A military commander, after hearing this incredible news, was immediately stunned and muttered to himself.
The generals next to this general were in the same situation. There was even a general with a hot temper. He went straight up and picked up the soldier who was kneeling on the ground who was reporting the news.
"You said panic! Say, are you a spy of the Xixia army? Deliberately spread the rumors, the cholera army, that is 80,000, 80,000, not 80,000 pigs, plus the 20,000 cavalry before. That's one hundred thousand troops. There is no problem in directly smashing the entire Song Dynasty. It will be destroyed by the Xixia Army? How is this possible! You must be a spy, and you are talking about false news."
The soldier was so frightened that he hurriedly begged for mercy: "General, I am not a spy, I am not a spy of the Xixia Army. This news is true. A small number of brothers broke out and brought this news, the battle over there. It is basically over, and the Xixia Army is already cleaning the battlefield."
"You're nonsense!" The hot-tempered general threw the soldier out at once, still unwilling to believe the news.
However, he already had a bad premonition in his heart. Although he didn't want to admit it, the news might be true, although he was so unbelievable.
After that, a few soldiers who broke out were brought over. Several generals asked about the battle with the Xixia Army in detail. When they heard that they were attacked by that powerful firearm, the generals looked a little bit. It's ugly, after all, they have more or less ignored this issue before, when they underestimated the power of that firearm.
And when they heard that after the battle between the two sides, the Liao army lost command and quickly fell into chaos, the faces of several generals became even more ugly. At this time, they realized that they were waiting for others and they had made mistakes before. How serious.
Before, they all thought that 80,000 people passed by. Whatever the case, the 20,000 cavalry could be rescued. If the Xixia Army had to eat the 20,000 cavalry, the price the Xixia Army would pay would be It was very painful. They had confidence in their combat power, and 80,000 people were enough to do a lot of things.
It’s just that they overlooked that these 80,000 soldiers are powerful, but the 80,000 soldiers who did not have command and fought each, that is, ordinary people with better skills, they had already lost more than half of their strength. There is no way to exert the greatest strength.
When the Xixia Army used several powerful people as the assault team to kill their intermediate commanders, their situation was even more difficult. In addition, the Xixia Army’s fierce and undaunted attack, Liao It is not surprising that the army will collapse.
After the Liao Army had gone through the whole thing, the faces of several generals were very ugly. They understood that this was caused by their mistakes in decision-making. In fact, they can't be blamed completely. They are usually only a team in charge. It's just that, they have never been in the position of commander-in-chief to consider things comprehensively. Therefore, it is understandable that they do not consider things comprehensively.
However, even if it is understandable, there is no way to change the facts. They lost 100,000 people at once, and the loss was still in the hands of the Xixia Army, which they looked down upon, which embarrassed them.
Moreover, this is 100,000 people. The Liao army’s strength was originally more than 200,000. Now it lost a small half. Even if they finally defeated Xixia and won the final victory, they would wait until they returned to Liao. The country, waiting for them will definitely not be rewards, it is more likely to be punished.
Because of this, everyone’s mood is not very good. However, even if they know that they will be punished when they return to China, what they have to do now is to defeat Xixia and squeeze Xixia. If this is the case, they will receive a lighter punishment, otherwise If you don’t, I’m afraid you’ll lose your life.
"Assemble the team and speed up the cleaning of the battlefield!" A general stood up and said.
"Yes." Another general said: "At this time, we must be united, and we can't underestimate the Xixia Army. They are obviously not inferior to the Song Army!"
Before, whether it was lip service or not, the generals of the Liao Army didn’t look down on the Xixia Army in their hearts, and they didn’t put the Xixia Army in their eyes. In their opinion, the Xixia Army was not as good as the Song Army. They even crushed the Song Army at will, not to mention the Xixia Army.
However, the series of things that happened now clearly told them that they underestimated the Xixia Army before. The Xixia Army was not as vulnerable as they saw it. If they were still as careless as before, then wait for them. Yes, it will definitely be a miserable failure.
"Yes, it's time for the Xixia army to see how powerful our Liao army is!" said a general next to him.
Before, they did not place the Xixia Army in the same position as their opponents, which made them pay a painful price, but now, everyone is serious, they will no longer agree, the Xixia Army is already their true opponent, An opponent who was even more powerful than Da Song, they could no longer agree.
The other generals also looked solemnly. They all understood that this was their last salvation. They had already lost 100,000 people. If they couldn't win, their lives and even their families might be in danger. Therefore, facing this battle of the Xixia Army, they must win and have no choice!
Therefore, at this time, they were truly united. After Coulee died before, they were more or less secretly fighting for power, and they all wanted more credit to attack the Song army. At that time, some people did the things that secretly used each other's loops.
Now everyone has put all these down. In the face of the danger of life, everyone has given up their previous prejudices, and they are ready to start working together to discuss how to defeat Xixia, instead of just like before. I think I can get more credit, and at the same time there are fewer losses.
The united Liao army was still terrifying, and the Xixia army would soon understand it.
In fact, Huang Feng has never underestimated the Liao army, especially the Liao army at this time. Whether in the official history or in this space, the combat effectiveness of the Liao army cannot be ignored, although in history The Liao Kingdom was destroyed by the Jin Kingdom, but even the Liao Army at that time was not comparable to the Song Army and the Xixia Army.
Therefore, even if 100,000 people had already been wiped out, Huang Feng still had enough vigilance against the Liao army in his heart. While arranging people to clean the battlefield, he also sent people to guard against the movements of the Liao army.
Compared to Huang Feng’s caution, the Xixia Army at this time had a meaning not to put the Liao Army in its eyes. After all, they fought two great victories in succession, and wiped out 100,000 Liao Army. This has already severely damaged the Liao army. It is a great result. In addition, Huang Feng has designed the Liao army before. Therefore, in the hearts of some Xixia army soldiers, the Liao army is just like that. There is no legend. So powerful.
After learning that someone was showing signs of this, Huang Feng quickly arranged for someone to explain how powerful the Liao army was, and even reminded everyone that during the previous siege, the Liao army almost captured their city head on the first day. of.
Huang Feng’s actions at this time can be regarded as slightly suppressing some signs of such pride. However, although many people say that they are paying attention, they do not agree in their hearts. In this regard, Huang Feng is also powerless. What he can do is already Done, with the current strength of the Xixia Army, even if it is facing the Liao Army that has lost a small and a half of its troops, they are probably not opponents.
"I hope I can wake them up then." Huang Feng thought to himself.
Huang Feng can only pray now that the Xixia Army will wake up sooner, and will not collapse at that time.
Both sides realized that the decisive battle was coming, and both were speeding up the cleaning of the battlefield. At this time, the strength of the two sides was competing. It would be impossible for Huang Feng to design an ambush Liao army.
Of course, high-altitude bombs can still be used by Huang Feng, but if the opponent has no cavalry and no frightened horses, it is hard to say what effect will be achieved. At least, Huang Feng himself is not very optimistic.
Finally, in the afternoon of the day, both parties were ready, and each other's teams drove towards each other, as far as they were apart, they faced each other.
At this time, Huang Feng had already sent the prisoners of the Liao Army back to the city behind them, and they were afraid that those prisoners would do bad things at the critical moment.
However, the Liao Army was different. They had more prisoners. However, they were not captured by the Xixia Army, but by the Song Army. After all, there were hundreds of thousands of people in the Song Army. The minority, most of them, either fled and dispersed, or surrendered or were captured, and came to the hands of the Liao army.
At this time, the relationship between the Song army and the Liao army was no longer an ally. Therefore, the Liao army naturally did not treat those prisoners of the Song army with any preferential treatment, and there would be no politeness. Now the Liao army wants to make peace. The Xixia army fought decisively, and the Song army was driven between the two armies to act as a human shield for the Liao army.
"If you had known that Song Jun was so useless, you should have asked them for more food and grass." Xixia Army generals complained.
Before, they were worried about whether the Song Army would use any tricks to let the Xixia Army face the Liao Army alone. Many Xixia Army generals even thought that the final battle would be between the Song Army, but, now it seems, the Song Army In front of the Liao army, it was simply vulnerable.
When the Song Army was defeated, all their food and grass naturally belonged to the Liao Army.
