Chapter 973: The two sides fight

"Your Majesty, the enemy's cavalry is numerous, it is better to withdraw first and then make plans."

Han Meng is very decisive and reckless in doing things, but what to divide things, depending on the situation in front of them, they have a large number of people, but in the face of a large number of cavalry, they may not be able to reduce casualties.

The number of Western Xia soldiers was 300,000, you must know that in order to be able to recruit so many people, it was only possible to gather all the forces of the cottage village.

If you choose to give up now, the gains outweigh the losses, and the king of Western Xia will rely on soldiers and horses to fight the world after all.

It was too late to make a decision, the vanguard did not give them time to think, and the charge of the fighting cavalry on both sides was very fierce, which directly caused chaos on the battlefield.

At this time, it was not early, and the speed of darkness in autumn was very fast, and a big battle between the two sides was dark.

Situ En had no intention of retreating at all, and with the support of Luo Song and Wei Xun, so many soldiers and horses were really not afraid of each other.

The momentum of the cavalry already has an advantage, and the momentum is even more pressing, and the opponent is always the vanguard, and the more he fights, the more courageous he becomes.

Luo Song saw that the sky was already changing rapidly, and he had to act, so he took his soldiers and horses and began to fish in troubled waters.

Situ En and Wei Xun already knew Luo Song's intentions, and they asked people to cover for him, and if they didn't cooperate with this road, they wouldn't be able to complete Luo Song's task.

Several artillery pieces ran along with the carriage, and at this time, Situ En and Wei Xun's cavalry launched a full charge, which directly caused them to rush over their heads.

Luo Song's men left some to cover on the periphery, taking the opportunity to take people away.

"Count how many people come out?"

Luo Song wanted to know immediately, the battlefield was chaotic, and he didn't know how many people had succeeded, and if someone found out, those people would not act, so it may not be feasible to let people count the fewer people, even if the Xixia city wall is opened, and it may not be feasible to accurately deter the people in the city.

The people have no combat effectiveness, who said this, Luo Song didn't believe it, as long as a person picked up a weapon, it was a threat.

"Captain, the 3,000 people of the artillery and material transport team are here, and the number of people who have come with them is more than 15,000."

Less than 20,000 people is already very good for Luo Song, and the remaining thousands of people are not bad to stay for combat effectiveness.

Luo Song led the people to continue to run west to the city, at this time it was already dark, and the advantage for the cavalry had been lost, so Situ En and Wei Xun chose to retreat temporarily.

The retreat was swift, giving full play to the advantage of the cavalry, and the fires separated the two sides, and into the evening neither side had any desire to continue the battle.

Either side knows that it is not in anyone's interest to continue.

Situ En and Wei Xun immediately let the wounded soldiers be treated, and they all had very effective medicines to deal with their external injuries.

Coincidentally, the medicinal materials for the treatment of these traumatic injuries came from the Western Xia side.

After being reprocessed by medical school, the therapeutic effect is faster than the original crushing usage.

And before dressing, it is also necessary to disinfect with high-purity alcohol, which is also the treatment process provided by the medical school, as long as the soldiers follow the steps to deal with this step, the lightly injured personnel are not troublesome, and each other can help each other to solve it.

The situation of the Western Xia soldiers is not very good, they do not have complete medical knowledge, whether they can survive really depends on the individual's resistance.

"Wei Xun, how many people have come to our support?"

Situ En has been blocking the enemy, and he doesn't know how many people Youzhou has dispatched, and if he has enough soldiers and horses, he can quickly take Xixia City.

"Of the 50,000 people, Luo Song took at least 15,000 people, and the rest of the people don't seem to be easy to deal with when the day dawns." Luo Song reminded.

"Well, prepare a fire at night to prevent the enemy from sneaking up." Luo Song instructed again.

Situ En sent someone to arrange, the fire is a must, and the night must be able to ensure the situation of the other party, for fear that if someone really attacks, he will be passive.

At the same time, the king of Western Xia was also afraid that someone would attack them at night, don't look at the large number of Western Xia soldiers, but the large number of people did not defeat the vanguard, and the facts have already explained the problem.

Of course, it is necessary to prevent people from attacking at night.

Both sides are very restrained, and they are not sure of Bing, so they will not let the soldiers and horses continue to fight, and there is another reason for Han Meng's temporary truce, that is, there are many of them, and if they start a battle after a good rest, they are confident that they can use the number of people to consume the other party.

He had never forgotten the armor and horses of the vanguards.

"If you start a war tomorrow, you must use wheel warfare to exhaust the opponent's cavalry." Han Meng made up his mind and ordered.

The generals who followed him already knew that the tasks after dawn had been prepared.

At night, Luo Song was still on the road with 15,000 people, and it would probably be a few days before they arrived in Western Xia at their speed.

He hoped that Situ En and Wei Xun would be able to resist.

In order to reduce the pressure a little, Luo Song decided to rush overnight, leaving them with little time.

The battle that took place in front of Yucheng had been sent back in the form of a battle report, and Li De and the others were very concerned about the situation.

The remaining soldiers and horses that have not been drawn will be the last to be used, and even if they cause losses, they will have to make such a decision at a critical time.

Li De is very optimistic, and he is playing a time difference.

"Dispatch some vanguard support, be sure to intercept the Western Xia soldiers, as for industries such as rubber plantations, it is still possible to have fewer people to defend for a short time."

"I'll go arrange it." Pei Qingxuan said.

Pei Qingxuan's status in the vanguard is transcendent, and there are few female generals who can fight well, not to mention Li De's eldest lady, and there is no one in the vanguard who is unconvinced.

There is no way to temporarily transfer troops and horses, and it is very important to increase some soldiers and horses to fight against the Western Xia soldiers.

The next day, the supporting cavalry with supplies felt that the number of people had suddenly reached 100,000, and Situ En and Wei Xun were more confident.

Cavalry one against three, this is the advantage of cavalry.

"How can they still have support, how many soldiers and horses are there?" Han Meng was a little confused, and according to his understanding, there didn't seem to be so many people.

"Chong, we must eliminate the other party today." Han Meng shouted, and his morale was lifted before he began to think.

In his opinion, it should be that all the vanguard soldiers of the fishing city have been dispatched, otherwise how could there be so many people, looking at this posture, it seems that they want to put the battlefield here, and the purpose is naturally not to let them enter the fishing city.

"Today we have to decide the winner." Han Meng said.

Thinking that the area where these people were wiped out would become his forces, and now that all the vanguard soldiers were dispatched, as long as these soldiers and horses were defeated, the coastal forces would be at their fingertips.

Facts have proved that Han Meng's thinking is quite accurate, Situ En led people to attack first, and the advantage of the cavalry was to charge, so he fought with soldiers and horses without fear of death.

The battle between the two sides was very fierce, and after two hours passed, the casualties on both sides were very large, and the soldiers and horses of the vanguard were under great pressure in the face of these many people, and the physical exertion could easily drag them down.
