Chapter 1576 1252. Start a decisive battle
Even though Helianhu has good cultivation, he still has been beyond recognition before he can even make it.
A generation of famous generals who were well-known in the Gansu Military Region ended here.
From beginning to end, even the shadow of She Tuoli and others was not seen.
The front row of the army who was about to enter the city suddenly became very panicked. Some soldiers didn't care about the thunder formation and quickly got off the horse and ran forward.
He only looked at Helianhu's face, his flesh and blood, and he knew he was not alive anymore.
Everyone's face is extremely ugly.
Someone gritted his teeth tightly, his eyes were red, and he hated the four major military officials to the core.
The deputy general in the army hugged Helianhu's body and shouted one after another: "General Helian! General Helian!"
Helianhu will never react at all.
It took a long time before the panic in the army gradually subsided, but the grief and anger spread throughout the army.
The deputy general in the army temporarily took over Helianhu's position and was in charge of the entire army. After asking the soldiers to clear the bodies inside and outside the city gate, he led his army toward the government office in the city.
The government office is also a terrible scene.
Later, the soldiers of the Gansu Army who had just arrived in Qingchuan County learned about the feces in the city's grain storage warehouse.
This made several generals in the army pale.
In a rage, although he led his army out of the city to pursue the enemy troops that had already left the city, he was still powerless.
They hurried here with a light cavalry, exhausted and could no longer withstand the tossing.
Even though I felt extremely frustrated and angry, I could only force myself to suppress it at this time.
Only the light cavalry rushed to the military camp to report the news.
She Tuoli led more than 2,000 light cavalry, which was naturally far away.
Inside the Western Xia imperial guard camp.
In Helian City, under the order of Qu Rujian, the entire army packed their luggage and finally prepared to set out to move forward to Qingchuan County.
At this moment, the four major army troops in Longzhou City always left the city.
A scout rushed to the Xixia Imperial Army to report the letter.
After Heliancheng, Qu Rujian and others received the report, they were extremely helpless and had to lead their troops to set up their own formations and dared not go north again.
Of course, they were worried that the four major military departments would have iron cavalry to attack their rear formation.
If the army suddenly receives an impact while advancing, the consequences will inevitably be unpredictable.
However, after they set up the formation on the spot, the soldiers of the four major military divisions showed no sign of attacking their formation.
The two armies only looked at each other from afar.
Heliancheng stood at the right time, frowned, and couldn't help but whisper: "What are the four major military officials trying to do?"
Qu Rujian said with slightest thought: "I want to delay our army here. General Helian, it seems that their trip is bound to Qingchuan County."
Heliancheng couldn't help frowning even deeper, "Most of our food and grass are in Qingchuan County..."
He even felt a little chilled in his heart.
The grain and grass in Xixia were not rich, and the successive expeditions of Lizhou East Road, Fengxiang Road and other places made the domestic food and grass tight. On this trip, they had a lot of food and grass stocks stored in Qingchuan County. If they were destroyed or taken away, it would be difficult for the rear to raise enough food and grass in a short period of time.
Qu Rujian said: "If all the food and grass are lost, then our situation will be similar to the four major military departments, and it will be even worse. Their food and grass are probably more than us."
Heliancheng narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this. After a while, he said in a low tone: "The Four Army Commands are forcing us to fight with them..."
Qu Rujian nodded slightly, "It's probably true. Let's see if Qingchuan County can defend it. If Qingchuan County loses it, then we are afraid that we can really have to fight them."
The army stood there and confronted the four soldiers of the army.
Time passes slowly.
Near evening.
The formation of the four major military departments suddenly moved, but slowly retreated into Longzhou City.
When Helian Cheng and Qu Rujian saw this scene, they looked at each other, and there was a flash of suspicion in their eyes.
Then Heliancheng's eyes flashed with regret and said heavily: "Qingchuan County is probably taken away..."
Qu Rujian also thought of this from the movements of the four major military departments and said, "Then should we continue to defend Qingchuan, or fight them to the decisive battle?"
Heliancheng gritted his teeth and said, "If we go back to defend Qingchuan like this, the emperor will blame us for the unfavorable battle! Instead of waiting for the court's food and supplies, I thought it would be better to fight them in the decisive battle."
Qu Rujian was a little suspicious, "If a decisive battle was launched, the casualties would be immeasurable..."
Heliancheng said fiercely: "As long as we can win, our Xixia Grand Priest! We will always recruit enough soldiers in the future!"
Qu Rujian stopped talking.
Seeing the four major army troops retreating slowly, Heliancheng said solemnly again: "Then let's launch an attack!"
Qu Rujian nodded with a serious expression and ran towards the formation.
Heliancheng raised the spear in his hand and roared in a low voice: "All soldiers in the army! Get ready to attack!"
The fierce general holding the big star next to him shook the big star in his hand vigorously.
After seeing the flags moving, the soldiers of the Xixia Imperial Guards and Gansu and Xiangqing Army quickly started to move.
The army formed by tens of thousands of troops changed in a hurry.
Many light and heavy cavalry roared to the army.
"kill!"
Then, with the roar of Helian City, the sound of horns in the army suddenly resounded.
"kill!"
"kill!"
The iron cavalry in front of the formation rushed towards the four major army formations.
The infantry and military formation followed closely behind.
On the vast field, two large formations were composed of more than 100,000 troops, and they were approaching at an extremely fast speed.
The soldiers of the four major military commanders also responded quickly.
In fact, at the moment when the imperial guard formation changed, they realized that the imperial guard might launch an attack.
The decisive battle came in like this.
The battlefield is unpredictable, probably just that.
Faced with the impact of the Western Xia imperial guards, the four major military commanders obviously had no intention of retreating.
She Tuoli's surprise attack on Qingchuan County was indeed the plan to force the imperial guards to fight them.
Because even if they burned the food and grass in Qingchuan County, it would be difficult for them to turn passive into activeness. If there was a long-term confrontation, their food and grass would definitely not be able to support it.
Under the orders of Wuge, Tuoba Wu, Sikongshe and others, iron cavalry rushed out from the formations of various major military commanders and faced the Imperial Guards.
This is also a rare battle.
No matter who wins and who loses, the situation in Xixia will undergo a huge change. And in just a few years, Xixia may find it difficult to have combat power.
Li Xiushu can be said to have entrusted all the future of Xixia to Zhao Dongting.
But soon, artillery fire surged in the fields.
Among the infantrymen of both armies, soldiers pushed the cannon chariots and launched artillery bombardment at the opponent's cavalry.
In an instant, the iron cavalry formation on both sides were all over the place.
I don't know how many people missed their way.
But it doesn't seem confusing in general.
The infantry formation behind is still compact.
The rain is still falling.
Due to the loss of Qingchuan County, Helian Hu led his army to Qingchuan. At this time, the number of Western Xia imperial guards was only different from that of the four major military commanders.
This is destined to be an extremely difficult battle.
Qu Rujian's Qitian Army joined the ranks of killing.
In the past, these soldiers who flew into the sky now rushed into the army with spears or swords.
Amid the continuous fire, the two cavalry of the armies quickly collided.
This feels like a mountain collapse and a crack.
The fight seemed to be endless.
At some point, night suddenly came.
To be continued...
