Chapter 1139: Decisive Battle 2
After all, Ren Dejing's identity is respected, and the guards around him are all good at one in a hundred, and they have safely escaped the attack of thunderbolts, but the Western Xia army has been chaotic, and Ren Dejing and others are currently unable to effectively command the whole army;
The Western Xia army in front was still speeding up the attack, and 100,000 iron hooves were endlessly knocking on the cold land, making the whole land tremble, but the thunderbolts of the Dingbei army defended the unshakable position again and again, so that the swept Western Xia iron cavalry was like a tide hitting a rocky reef, emitting blood-colored waves; the scorching killing intent burned in Mu Wei's chest, he liked the taste of this battlefield, just like a senior said, the battlefield is the best place to practice, between life and death, epiphany.
Mu Wei looked up to the sky and roared, slashed a mace, and killed a Song army who stepped forward to block it, when he heard a deafening explosion behind him; Mu Wei turned his head to look at it, and saw dozens of clouds floating forward from the position of the Western Xia army, and thunderbolts fell from the sky, falling one after another in the Western Xia army. The offensive formation of a brigade of 50,000 people and a cavalry of 100,000 cavalry, that kind of density did not need to be aimed at at all, and the thunderbolts that fell were all in the crowd, which blew up the Western Xia soldiers on their backs.
In order to avoid the thunderbolts, the Western Xia army relied on the well-equipped riding movements to deal a fatal blow to the Western Xia army itself, so that the entire attack was wiped out, and the casualties caused by collision and trampling on each other were greater than those caused by the thunderbolts. Although there were still countless people howling in the Western Xia army behind Mu Wei, that howl was completely different from the excitement of the attack at the beginning, but the grief of survival and the anger of anger.
The hot air balloons were all soldiers commanded by Wu Song and Gongsun Sheng, one by one, calmly and calmly threw thunderbolts at the banners and people of the Western Xia Army, and once they were finished, they floated behind the positions of the Dingbei Army; Wu Song and Gongsun Sheng chose people like dead soldiers, and with Shen Chong's training, the entire formation seemed to be at ease in the sky. In the face of such a strange scene, the Western Xia army didn't even have the least idea of fighting back, and the only thing that more than 100,000 people were doing was to dodge thunderbolts and trample on each other.
The generals of the Dingbei Army clearly watched all this through the binoculars, knowing that the psychology of the Western Xia Army was on the verge of collapse, and when these twenty hot air balloons floated to their positions, it was the moment when the Dingbei Army attacked with all its might. Yang Yizhong clenched the iron gun, watched the big balloons float behind him one after another, and shouted: "Attack." ”
50,000 cavalry is the total number of cavalry collected by Yang Zhineng, at this moment, he did not hesitate to put into the battlefield, under the leadership of Yang Yizhong, Zhao Yi, Chong Yan, Li Qiong, and Niu Gao, like five steel knives, fiercely inserted into the army of Western Xia. The Western Xia army did not expect that the opponent still had such a hand, and the collision of the cavalry on both sides was a dead knock without any tricks, but the formation of the Western Xia army was chaotic, and although the Western Xia army had a large number, it was impossible to organize effective resistance under the advance of the cavalry of the Dingbei Army.
The retreating cavalry instead hindered their own families, Mu Wei and Ren Decong were coerced by their subordinates to retreat into the army, although the security was greatly increased, but looking at the approaching Dingbei army, they knew that they could no longer command. Ren Dejing's eyes were red, and he naturally understood that even if the rear army could still organize thirty or forty thousand fresh troops to participate in the war, it was just delaying time. In addition to the cavalry, the Dingbei Army also has 80,000 infantry troops behind, and it is an 80,000 infantry army that will not care about the cavalry fighting out, and once the Western Xia Army loses the speed of cavalry, then there is no chance of escaping.
Hota Gongji clenched his teeth, this was the first time he encountered a strange scene in his life, there was no short-handed army chaos, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Hota Gongji heard about it in Xingzhou, and he would definitely reprimand the generals on the front line for shirking their responsibilities and drumming up mystery; 31
Wu'er Siqi and Yang Zhi have clashed many times, knowing that guy is as cunning as a fox, and funny methods are endless, lest the two guys who want to die and suffer from the crime of hot Gongji will do bad things, and lose all 150,000 people in Gyeongju, and can't help but remind: "Lord Ren, victory and defeat are commonplace, and now the army's heart is in chaos, what if Yang Zhi has the next hand, what if Yang Zhi has the next hand, at this time, he can at least return to Wuyuan County with an army of 100,000." ”
Due to the rebellion of the Dabin tribe and other tribes, the leaders of the small nomadic tribes under the jurisdiction of the Western Xia had their own thoughts, and they had no determination to sacrifice their lives for the Western Xia, even if they did not surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, they could also leave, as long as the population and property were preserved, the grassland was boundless, and where was not the destination.
However, the Western Xia, who established the name of the country, could not go back to this old road, and still counted on these armies to protect the cities behind them and continue to fight with the Great Song Dynasty; ”
As Ren Dejing's banner turned around, the Western Xia army retreated on all fronts, and the Western Xia cavalry, which had long been psychologically unable to support it, could no longer care about the orders of their superiors, and had only one thought, to get out of the battlefield as soon as possible and find a place to soothe their feelings; Yang Zhi could see clearly in the telescope that at most only three or four thousand Western Xia cavalry were still thinking about breaking off, but in front of the Dingbei army, which was more than ten times larger, they were shocked in a blink of an eye.
The Dingbei Army's war drums sounded, and the whole army advanced rapidly, violently following the Western Xia Army in pursuit of the killing; the pursuing cavalry of the Dingbei Army showed amazing lethality, and a large number of the Western Xia Army were killed by sharp arrows, cut in two by the sharp sabers, and blood flowed for more than ten miles; the north wind blew colder and colder, and dark clouds gradually covered the sky. When the battlefield finally calmed down, the 100,000 Dingbei army let out a crazy roar.
Yang Zhi stood proudly in front of the formation and gave an order to Yang Zhongwu and Fu Xuan: "Regain Gyeongju." ”
In the face of the tragic defeat, no Western Xia army was willing to stay in Gyeongju, Ren Dejing did not even return to the city, but just filmed an officer to inform Zhao Bin to hold the city; Zhao Bin was not a fool, watching the Western Xia army retreat north in a hurry, the Dingbei army killed like a tide, directly abandoned the city and fled, not even asking for the infantry army, but just rushed to Wuyuan County with more than 600 horses.
The Dingbei Army killed 35,000 Western Xia troops in this battle, captured more than 9,000 people, captured 23,000 horses, the morale of the whole army swelled to the extreme, repaired for a day, the whole army formed 60,000 cavalry, Yang Yizhong, Zhao Yiroom, Niu Gao, Li Qiong, Chong Yan, Xu Wen commanded, and killed the Bending Border Army and Huanzhou separately.
