Chapter 2467
Perhaps it was because the attack on Xiazhou and Yanzhou was too smooth. After the 5 Xixia army entered Lingzhou, there was no doubt at all that Ren Dejing's army would actually lure the enemy into it.Ren Dejing's most elite troops fought with Xixia's [-] troops, and then began to retreat. Xixia suppressed the rebel army and immediately pursued them.

However, Ren Dejing's troop was an elite one. It had been trained for many years, and it was not defeated in one blow. Although it retreated, it was very methodical. It led the Xixia army all the way to a canyon.

After arriving in the canyon, Ren Dejing's army did not retreat, but instead formed a very standard defensive formation. The grassland cavalry was very experienced. Seeing the spear formation formed by Ren Dejing's soldiers, they immediately launched an attack.

Although the formation of spears and spears can restrain cavalry, the fact is that spearmen are only used to resist cavalry charges. They are defensive, and once they lose their formation, they cannot escape the inevitable consequences of being wiped out by cavalry. Like a shield, you can't just say that you have a shield.Spearmen are used for defense, not for restraining cavalry. In fact, in places suitable for galloping horses, there is no infantry for restraining cavalry. Only cavalry has always been used to deal with cavalry.

However, just after the prairie cavalry charged, Ren Dejing's army formed in front suddenly dispersed, and a group of heavily armored cavalry behind them led a large number of light cavalry to charge from behind.

The Northwest Army was shocked, and the Persian archers immediately shot to support the grassland cavalry, but the penetration of the Persian bows and arrows could not penetrate the golden armor of the Blood Guards. The Persians behind watched the two thousand heavy cavalry, Rushed into the prairie cavalry formation.

The prairie cavalry wanted to spread out their formation and fight for some space to turn around, but found that there was no room for them to turn around in the canyon.

The prairie people reacted quickly and adjusted their formation immediately. Unfortunately, before they adjusted again, the Central Plains light cavalry behind them had already arrived.

"Attack its wings!"

Facing Zeng Yi and others who had been prepared for a long time, the prairie cavalry couldn't exert their best cavalry and shooting ability at all. Coupled with the heavy cavalry of the blood guards who seemed to charge and cut their formation, the prairie cavalry was aggrieved.

"Retreat!" Finally, the prairie people couldn't take it anymore and chose to retreat. Seeing that the enemy was about to retreat, Ren Dejing's soldiers and the light cavalry from the Central Plains couldn't bear it, and wanted to pursue them. Arrow rain.

"Stop chasing!"

Zeng Yi and the others are very clear-headed. The Persian bows and arrows are really not good at penetrating, but that is compared to the armor of the Blood Guards heavy cavalry, compared to the Central Plains light cavalry and Ren Dejing's troops who are only equipped with light armor and leather armor. Well, the penetration power of the Persians' bows and arrows is sufficient, so if you rush to catch up like this, you will suffer a big loss!
"Master Ni, why don't you chase after me? This is a great opportunity to destroy the enemy!"

"I can't chase anymore, the enemy's strength is not inferior! As long as they leave the canyon and have enough room to turn around, my heavy cavalry will not have much advantage! Such a hasty pursuit will suffer a big loss!"

Ren Dejing was born in the army, so he is not one to wait until now. He sighed and couldn't help but said, "Hey, what a great opportunity! I didn't expect the grassland cavalry to have such rich experience!"

"It's not a pity for the general. In this battle, over ten thousand enemy cavalry were eliminated, and the enemy's cavalry was basically disabled. It can be regarded as achieving the strategic goal!"

In fact, when it comes to casualties, the two sides can only say that the grassland cavalry lost tens of thousands of horses, and Zeng Yi and his side lost less than ten thousand horses. However, most of the grassland people lost cavalry, while Zeng Yi and his side The main loss was the infantry when the enemy was lured deep.For Ren Dejing, this is a big profit!
This battle successfully blocked the Xixia army, which was supported by the grassland and Persia, and successfully suppressed its arrogance. As Zeng Yi expected, in the next few days, this army will no longer Dare to attack unscrupulously.

This also made Ren Dejing finally heave a sigh of relief, but after losing two prefectures, only Lingzhou, his hometown, was left, and part of it was already occupied by Xixia. Ren Dejing's situation was still very dangerous.

"Master Ni, when will our army in the Northwest of the Central Plains be able to launch a counterattack?"

At this time, Ren Dejing was no longer dreaming of the king of Chu. If this continues, let alone the king of Chu, if the Central Plains army does not launch a counterattack for a long time, he may not be able to keep his lair.Now all of Ren Dejing's hopes are placed on the Northwest Army of the Central Plains.

"Don't worry, general. You should be clear that a battle involving hundreds of thousands of troops is not something that can be done just by doing it. You have to wait for the opportunity. The Northwest Army is currently actively preparing. I believe it will not be long before a full-line counterattack will be launched!"

"Yes, but the opportunity now is not bad. Xixia's interior is empty, and with our cooperation, we will be able to defeat Xixia in one round!" It can be seen that Ren Dejing is really anxious now.

In fact, Ren Dejing's old nest has been operating for so many years, and it is not without strength, but such an intense war is about to empty Ren Dejing's pockets. If this continues, he is really worried that he will not be able to stand it, and he will go bankrupt first. It's time to pay the army, let alone defeat the Xixia people, it is estimated that his soldiers mutinied first.

"General, the imperial court considers issues from the overall situation. Although it seems that the opportunity is good now, there are still many issues that the imperial court has to consider! In addition to Xixia, the issue of the grassland and Persia must also be considered. You must know that the imperial court is facing serious problems. Not only Xixia, but also the two great empires of Persia and Grassland!"

"Hey, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long. The cost of the war is too great. Now I only have one Lingzhou left, and there is really no way to fight a protracted war with Xixia."

"This is indeed a problem, but you don't have to worry about it, the general. If you persist, there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. There is always a way. As long as you persist until the Central Plains army counterattacks, it will be the beginning of the general's rise again! "

Those who are familiar with Zeng Yi can actually tell that Zeng Yi is fooling Ren Dejing. Zeng Yi has never really paid attention to Ren Dejing. He was just fooling him from the beginning to the end, and he didn't even play in the court. The imperial court never made any promises to Ren Dejing. Compared with the Mingjiao, Ren Dejing is completely a pawn.

The original Ren Dejing still had some value, but as his strength became weaker and his value became lower and lower, even if the Central Plains army counterattacked, it would be difficult for him to regain his glory.
