"Report, report, report... Report to the general, the main gate is almost unable to withstand it." A messenger came to Li Yanzong's central army tent to report.

The battle has been going on for more than ten days. Logically speaking, the reinforcements led by Li Liangzuo should have arrived long ago, but at this time, Li Liangzuo's reinforcements have not appeared for a long time. Li Yanzong was extremely anxious about this. The only thing that cannot be determined on the entire battlefield is where Li Liangzuo's reinforcements are. The result that Li Yanzong is most afraid of is that Maliksha adopts the tactic of surrounding points to attack aid. If this happens, Li Liangzuo's situation will be very dangerous now.

"Tell me the order, all our reserve teams will be up. Before you wait for His Majesty, you must not let the camp break out." Li Yanzong issued a military order very decisively.

Then Li Yanzong asked his deputy general: "How is the situation in the other two battalions?"

"The situation is similar to ours. If His Majesty's reinforcements are no longer available, we may really not be able to hold on."

"The situation on Your Majesty's side is unclear. Although our army has suffered a lot of losses, the Serbian army, as the attacking side, has suffered a greater loss than us. Let me tell you that the fight is just one breath now, and it depends on who can last until the end. As long as we persist, we will definitely win."

On the other side, outside the Xia army camp, Maliksha was standing on the main position of the Serbian army, watching the entire army fighting. Sevic hurriedly walked up and said to Maliksha: "Dear Your Majesty, we have organized six large-scale attacks this day, but the resistance of the Xia army is still very strong. Now our soldiers are in short supply. The last general asks to retreat temporarily to repair the troops, and ask His Majesty to judge."

"No, isn't all the efforts to retreat at this time? We have been attacking for more than ten days, and the Xia army is at the end of our strength. We ordered the entire army to repair it on the spot for an hour and continue to attack after an hour."

"But your Majesty, it's probably going to be dark in another hour?"

"Will you stop fighting when it's dark? I tell you, we are afraid of darkness, and they are even more afraid of darkness. If the entire army is ordered to prevent the enemy camp by noon tomorrow, all officers will be punished."

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

On the lookout building of the Xia army camp, Li Yanzong was looking at the slowly retreating Serbian army. The deputy general next to him said to Li Yanzong excitedly: "Look at General, the attacking troops of the Serbian army have withdrawn, we have won, we have won."

Li Yanzong shook his head and said, "No, look carefully. The Serbian army retreated only by the offensive troops, while Maliksha's central army did not move. This means that Maliksha did not mean to withdraw, but instead retreated first and prepared to organize troops to attack again."

"But the general, it will be dark in a short time. This night battle is not good for our army!"

"It is not good for our army, but also for the Serbian army. I am instructed to repair the army and make rice. This battle tonight is probably inevitable. I told my brothers to eat and drink enough, and the central army stayed to guard the camp. The remaining left and right armies went back to rest immediately, and were not allowed to fight without orders."

"General, our army's entire force can't stop the enemy, let alone one-third of its force!"

"Don't worry! This general knows it, you just do it."

Night battles are actually extremely unfavorable to both sides of the battle, so Maliksha cannot invest all his troops to attack. It was because of this that Li Yanzong dared to leave one-third of his troops. Although this night battle was a continuation of the Battle of the Xia army and the daytime battle of the Xia army, it was also a decisive battle. At this time, both the Battle and the Xia army were already at the end of their strength, and at this time it was more of a battle of will.

On the other hand, the camp where Li Yi was located was also surrounded by the Serbian army, but the Serbian army did not attack overnight. In order to ensure that the camp was foolproof, Li Yi had to patrol every two hours to remind the guards and patrol soldiers to be vigilant. This time, after Li Yi had just patrolled and returned to the tent, a deputy general hurried in and said, "Report to General, if the major matter is not good, the Serbian army that besieged the main camp seems to attack overnight."

When Li Yi heard that he did not dare to be negligent, he immediately stood up and headed towards the tower. Standing on the tower, Li Yi found that the direction of the main business was brightly lit. Li Yi's first reaction was that the main business might not be protected this time. Li Yi looked at the starry night sky and said, "When will your Majesty's reinforcements appear? If this continues, our army will have to retreat."

Facing the fierce attack of the Serbian army, although the Xia army was desperately defending, the camp would be broken sooner or later. The reason why the Xia army could persist until now was because they believed that Li Liangzuo would lead troops to reinforce. However, at this time, Li Liangzuo did not appear for a long time, which inevitably gave these Xia army soldiers a feeling of being abandoned. In fact, they did not know that Li Liangzuo had actually led 70,000 reinforcements to arrive, but they had not shown up for a long time, because Li Liangzuo was waiting for the opportunity to fight, because Li Liangzuo knew that he would not bring much change to the situation of the Xia army like this.

"Report, report, report... Report to Your Majesty, Maliksha leads the main force of the Serbian army and is attacking the main camp overnight. Our soldiers fought to the death, and many casualties were injured."

"Xiao Zhuozi, I ordered the army to set out in the early morning to raid the Serbian camp. I want to take the bridgehead of the Serbian army in one fell swoop. Without the support of the bridgehead, I want to see how Maliksha continues to attack."

"Yes, the slave takes the order..."

After Xiao Zhuozi left, Li Liangzuo was still staring at the map with his eyes. Although the raid on Maliksha's bridgehead could cause a heavy blow to the Serbian army, it did not cause any substantial damage to the main force of the Serbian army. In other words, even if Li Liangzuo defeated the Serbian army's bridgehead, he could only temporarily curb the Serbian army's attack. After the subsequent food and supplies of the Serbian army followed, the Serbian army would continue to attack in large quantities, and the Xia army was still in a passive situation of being beaten.

"Your Majesty, the military order has been passed to all battalions." Xiao Zhuozi came back and replied.

"Xiao Zhuozi, do you think if I knocked down Maliksha's bridgehead, the Serbian army retreated to the west of Honghe?"

"Report to your Majesty, I think Maliksha will temporarily shrink his troops and gather his troops on the bank of the Hong River. He will not really return to the west of the Hong River. After the subsequent food and grass are reached, the Serbian army will continue to launch a large-scale attack."

"Even you think so, it seems that my idea is right. Now our army is at a disadvantage. It is meaningless to defend like this. It seems that we have to make another plan."

"Your Majesty means withdrawing the troops?" Xiao Zhuozi asked boldly.

"It's too early to withdraw the troops or not. Let's talk about everything when the war is over. After the attack, order the messengers to send three red signal flares into the sky; God blesses it, it's best to let me defeat the Serbian army in one fell swoop and drive them down the Honghe River."

At this time, all Li Liangzuo could do was pray for the help of God. It can be said that Li Liangzuo was not very sure about this battle. This was the least sure battle that Li Liangzuo had fought so far. All the strategic concepts of the Xia army this time have basically not been realized.
