The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 452 A crushing defeat

Wei Da took a closer look, and said to Li Changqi suspiciously: "General, something seems wrong."

Li Changqi said coldly: "What's wrong?"

Vader said in a deep voice: "It seems that I haven't found where Canaan is."

"What did you say?" Li Changqi realized the seriousness of the problem at this time. He carefully searched for Canaan's shadow in the cavalry formation, but he really couldn't find it.

Vader said hesitantly, "I'm afraid...I'm afraid General Canaan has already been killed."

Li Changqi waved his hand and said, "Impossible!"

However, even though he does not believe this result, the reality makes Li Changqi have to believe that whether it is the degree to which the Xixia cavalry is now defeated, or the fact that there is no shadow of Canaan in the team, it indicates that this time the Xixia cavalry will be defeated. A fiasco for the cavalry.

"General, what should we do?" Vader asked softly.

"What should I do? I also want to ask what should I do?" Li Changqi muttered something in his heart, but he couldn't say it. He pondered and said: "What else can I do? The pockets are ready, just wait for Mongolia The army rushes in, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and cannot be missed."

"But..." Vader hesitated. After all, under the current situation, the cavalry of Xixia did not retreat successfully, but were chased and beaten by the Mongolian army. At this time, you have me, and I have you. If Li Changqi ordered to shoot arrows At that time, it will not only hurt the Mongolian cavalry, but even the cavalry on our own side will be affected.

"There's nothing to worry about. This is a good opportunity. As long as we do well, we can wipe out all the Mongolian cavalry in this place!" Li Changqi said indifferently.

He was originally from a wealthy family, and he didn't have much feeling for these soldiers who were born from poor people. In order to achieve his own goals, he didn't care how many people died.

"Pass on my military order, let the arrows go!" Li Changqi said in a cold voice.

After the soldiers below heard Li Changqi's order, they couldn't help but said at this moment: "Fire arrows? But our cavalry is also inside. If we shoot arrows, our cavalry will also be shot to death."

Li Changqi said coldly: "This is a military order, carry it out!"

"But……"

"It's nothing to worry about, execute the order!" Li Changqi said in a cold voice.

Ever since, the rain of arrows from the Xixia army poured down, all pouring down towards the army above the official road below.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Arrows were shot at the people and horses below. The people hit by the arrows let out screams, and the flatterers who got hit by the arrows wailed one after another.

"We are still here! Don't shoot arrows! We are our own people!" At this time, the Xixia army below couldn't help shouting loudly.

But what responded to them was an overwhelming rain of arrows.

"Khan, it's bad, there's an ambush!" A personal guard stood in front of Temujin and said loudly.

Temujin nodded and said, "Everyone, don't panic, follow me and charge to the left!"

Seeing that Temujin was not chaotic in the face of danger, it gave the soldiers below a reassurance at this time. They immediately settled down and began to charge according to Temujin's command, thinking about the hill on the left.

In fact, Temujin had already discovered that something was wrong here before rushing in, so he had already made arrangements.

The height of the hills was not very high, and Temujin led the cavalry to charge to the left, which was also the realization of the planned plan.

It turned out that not all the Mongolian cavalry had rushed in. It was only a part of the Mongolian cavalry that entered the official road at the beginning, and the other part of the cavalry had already detoured on the right-wing hillside and faced the Xixia army on the right-wing hillside as agreed in advance. Attack.

As for why Temujin made such an arrangement, in fact, there is really no basis for it, it is just the experience of fighting all the year round, or talent.

Li Changqi was secretly proud of himself, but suddenly he heard a shout of killing coming from behind him.

"What's going on?" Li Changqi frowned and asked.

A messenger hurried over and said to Li Changqi: "It's not good, General, a Mongolian cavalry came from behind, and our people... are about to be overwhelmed."

"What?" Li Changqi brought the messenger over, gritted his teeth and said, "How many people are there?"

"It's so dark that there are tens of thousands of people." said the orderly soldier.

"Impossible!" Li Changqi said in a cold voice: "There are only more than 1 of them in total, and now there are 1 people below, how could there be another 1 people?"

"No... I don't know!" the orderly stammered.

Li Changqi let him go. It was really difficult for the messenger to ask this question.

"General, retreat!" At this moment, Vader took a step forward and said to Li Changqi.

"Retreat, how can we retreat at this time!" Li Changqi gritted his teeth and said.

"General, originally we were in the dark and the enemy was in the open, so we could launch a sneak attack, but now the situation is reversed. We are in the open, and the enemy is in the dark. We don't even know how many people there are in the Mongolian army. If we continue , I’m afraid it’s not good for our army!” Wei Da said to Li Changqi.

Indeed, 1 people suddenly appeared in the Mongolian army, which is incredible.

"Furthermore, all our cavalry has been wiped out by the Mongolian cavalry. For our army, the chances of victory are really slim!" Vader continued.

Li Changqi took a deep breath, although he didn't want to admit this fact, but in fact it was such a situation.

"General, if you don't retreat, it will be too late!" At this time, the deputy general next to him also persuaded.

There is no way, the sound of shouting and killing came from a distance, telling the tragedy of this war. From the very beginning, this war was a one-sided situation. On the side of the Xixia army, there were some Taiping soldiers with limited combat power, while the Mongolian army Over there is the army of tigers and wolves. They are not afraid of death. If the Xixia army wants to fight them, they are not opponents at all.

"The whole army retreats!" Li Changqi gritted his teeth and said.

The army was defeated, even if they wanted to retreat, it would be difficult at this time. After all, the opponent was cavalry, and the Xixia army was already full of infantry. How could the two-legged ones outrun the four-legged ones.

Moreover, at this time, Xixia's army was still in ambush on both sides of the official road, and their retreat became inconsistent. This ambush battle was a complete failure.
