The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 447 Small Abacus

Li Changqi finally led his troops to the expedition.

With 5 horses, they left the city in a mighty manner early the next morning.

Wei Ta was next to Li Changqi, and as Li Changqi's first staff member, he was a little depressed to follow him on the expedition at this time.

"My lord, the Mongolian army came here suddenly, I'm afraid the people who came here were not kind." Wei Ta said to Li Changqi.

Li Changqi gave him a sideways look, and said impatiently, "You think I don't know?"

Wei Ta also heard about the situation when Li Changqi was appointed. He rolled his eyes and said to Li Changqi: "My lord, we brought 5 people to support Dingzhou. It seems that there are many people, but to be honest..."

Wei Ta didn't go on when he said this, because Li Changqi naturally understood the meaning, even if Li Changqi didn't rush forward impulsively, it would not be so easy to withdraw when the time comes.

In fact, Wei Ta was a little too worried about this point. Li Changqi was a more careful person than him. If there was any danger, he would definitely not rush forward.

Li Chang felt a little irritable in his heart, he nodded, and said to Wei Ta: "Let the people below be careful, especially the spies, let me go for twenty miles, and if there is anything, report it as soon as possible."

Wei Ta nodded and said to Li Changqi: "My lord, how many people are here from the Mongolian army?"

Li Changqi shook his head, and said: "I don't know, I just said it was overwhelming. If the Mongolian army dared to attack on a large scale, the number of them might not be small."

"Then His Majesty only gave 5 people. Isn't this hitting a stone with an egg?" Vita couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

"The army of the Xixia Kingdom is now on the eastern front. Who would have thought that the Mongolian army would cross the natural barrier Helan Mountain and kill them directly." Li Changqi said helplessly.

"Dingzhou City is the last barrier to the north of Xingqing Mansion. If Dingzhou City is breached, Xingqing Mansion will be in danger." Wei Ta said softly.

Li Changqi glared at Wei Ta, and said, "I understand what you said, and you said something I don't know."

Wei Ta smiled wryly in his heart, the so-called one strength breaks a hundred cleverness, at this time there is such a big gap in strength between the two sides, no matter how resourceful he is, I am afraid it will not help.

"At this time, it mainly depends on what the prince thinks." Wei Ta said softly.

Li Changqi frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Vita said softly: "Does the prince want to guard or..."

Wei Ta didn't say it clearly, which meant that Li Changqi really wanted to execute the order and defend to the death, or he had other plans to preserve his strength. After all, in Dingzhou City at this time, there is no difference between going to Dingzhou City and dying.

Li Changqi took a deep breath and said, "Talk about each of them separately."

"If the prince wants to defend to the death, we will march all the way to Dingzhou City in a hurry, so that we can enter Dingzhou City, and perhaps rely on Dingzhou City to hold on for a while." Wei Ta said softly.

Li Chang nodded and said, "What about the other one?"

Wei Ta went on to say: "If Your Majesty has other plans, we can march slowly. Thinking about it, Dingzhou City won't last long."

Hearing what Wei Ta said, Li Changqi fell into a state of contemplation. To be honest, he had to think about the problem before him now.

"My lord, to be honest, even if we go, this city of Dingzhou probably won't be able to bear it anymore, why should we put ourselves on the line?" Wei Ta said softly.

Wei Ta actually knew very well what kind of person Li Changqi was because of a nest of snakes and rats, so he came up with such an idea at this time.

Ever since, the defenders in Dingzhou were a bit miserable.

Early the next morning, the Mongolian army began to attack the city overwhelmingly. Unlike the Xixia people, the Mongolian army, which had experienced wars all the year round, was very brave. The general of the city was so frightened that his legs were weak at this time, and he didn't dare to climb the city wall at all.

The generals are like this, not to mention the soldiers below. The soldiers are also hiding under the city wall one by one, facing the menacing Mongolian army, not daring to stand up.

"Come on, have the reinforcements arrived?" the general guarding the city asked anxiously.

"General, I went to the capital last night. There was news from the capital that Li Changqi had brought [-] soldiers and horses to help Dingzhou early in the morning." A guard next to him said hastily.

When the general guarding the city heard the words, his complexion improved a little, and he said, "Hurry up and send someone to remind him, where has this man gone? Tell Li Changqi, if he arrives late, Dingzhou City will not be able to bear it. "

"General, don't be impatient. Dingzhou City is less than a hundred miles away from Xingqing Mansion. It should take less than a day for the reinforcements to arrive." The deputy general said to the general at this time.

The general snorted coldly, and said, "This Mongolian army looks like it has 20 people, but 5 people were photographed. Can this Dingzhou City really be defended?"

The lieutenant smiled wryly, and said to the general: "General, at this time, we have to defend if we can defend it, and we have to defend it if we can't. Behind us is Xingqing Mansion. If Dingzhou City is lost, then Xingqing Mansion will be destroyed." The government is in danger." The lieutenant said helplessly.

The general guarding the city stared at his deputy, and said coldly, "You still need to tell me?"

The lieutenant smiled wryly, and said to the general guarding the city: "General, the Mongolian army is coming so fiercely now that the higher-ups will soon be unable to bear it."

"If you can't hold it anymore, then what are you still doing here, bring people up!" said the general guarding the city with a displeased face,

The deputy general didn't expect the general to sell himself, he said with a wry smile: "General, shall I go up?"

"If you don't go up, I can't go up, hurry up!" The general kicked his deputy, and let him lead the people to the top of the city.

At this time, the Mongolian army has entered the range, and the siege equipment of the Mongolian army is still throwing stones towards the city wall. As soon as the deputy general came up, a big stone flew towards him, scaring him. Quickly hid back again.

"Damn it, you are afraid of death, but you let me come up to die. It's really not a thing!" The lieutenant said cursingly, but at this time he had to obey orders. It was he who wanted to resist, and it was impossible at this time. In wartime, if you want to kill him, you can just find an excuse.

"What are you doing in a daze, rush up and shoot the arrow!" the lieutenant yelled loudly at his subordinates.

The so-called raging soldiers, a raging nest, the generals are like this, how can the soldiers below be better and where to go.
