Chapter 301: The Desperate Western Xia General
Seeing that the army still slipped away, the Western Xia cavalry who had retreated on both sides before also breathed a sigh of relief. Now no one will be holding them accountable for laughing at them.
When the war bull left the city pass, it began to disperse, and then the war horse also rushed to the two wings of the war bull.
When the war bull defeated the Western Xia cavalry, 20,000 heavy cavalry finally caught up.
"Rush, kill them all." Seeing hundreds of cavalry in the distance, the heavy cavalry of the Han army immediately rushed forward.
Wow wow~~ Trojan horses are also one by one, no one is willing to lag behind.
Boom~~ The movement behind him is getting bigger and bigger, and hundreds of Western Xia cavalry have also discovered the heavy cavalry behind them.
"Ahh Damn it! How could it be so fast! ”
"Block, run to the barracks, all hurry, hurry!" Human lives were at stake, and the cavalry immediately took the lead in rushing towards the formation of the Western Xia infantry.
As soon as the fifty or sixty thousand Western Xia soldiers lined up in formation, they saw the cavalry collapse, and the battle situation of the cavalry could still be seen under the smoke and dust.
This! The cavalry was defeated! The militia also panicked! Although the Han army of the Ming Dynasty was very weak before, the strong history of the Han people has been felt in their blood for countless years!
Boom~~ When hundreds of Western Xia cavalry appeared with 10,000 heavy cavalry of the Han army, all the Western Xia soldiers also hurriedly adjusted.
"Spearmen and shieldmen stepped forward."
"Defense, defense!" There was no hurry to turn around and flee back to the military village, and the Western Xia soldiers could only defend in place.
The guns are dense and the cold light is shining! In order to survive, the Western Xia infantry would not cowardly flee for their lives.
Seeing that the queue of the Western Xia infantry had stabilized, Wu Li was also a little disappointed!
"Let's go!"
The command flag waved, and 10,000 heavy cavalry also began to bypass the Western Xia infantry.
The main purpose of the Han cavalry was to capture the river bank boats, but they did not have time to slowly wear out with the Western Xia infantry.
When the 20,000 cavalry abandoned the Tangut infantry, the end of the Tangut cavalry came. They tried desperately to escape, but they could only barely avoid the war bulls. But they couldn't shake off the heavy riders behind them.
Xiuxiu~~ Crossbow arrows shot out horizontally, and the cavalry dozens of meters away also fell one by one.
The arrows behind him were screaming continuously, and the angry Xixia soldiers were helpless! The war bulls and cavalry behind them were no longer something they could fight, and they also did not have the Mongols' back-shooting skills.
The Tangut people of Anping for hundreds of years, except for the assassination of the Ming army and the Han people, have not experienced much war at all. Not to mention shooting around, it's good to be able to shoot arrows on a horse.
The northwestern tribes who are half-cultivated and half-pastoral, and the second-rate infantry warfare is also second-rate. Even if the northwest is often turbulent, it cannot be compared with the war disaster in Mobei and Liaodong.
Most of the forces that destroyed the Han civilization were in Mobei and Liaodong, and no northwestern tribe had ever been able to monopolize the Central Plains for thousands of years. Cholera in the northwest will at most plague Guanzhong and Hebei.
Thundered~~
Sigh law ~~ Wow wow~~
The war horse ran at full strength, and now it was exhausted. However, the heavy horses of the Han army are still at a faster speed, and the northwest war horses have been completely defeated compared to the speed.
"Ah~no~" The crossbow arrows that flew from three sides took away the Western Xia cavalry one by one.
Ma Tiele trembled, and he found that the cavalry around him was getting fewer and smaller.
Boom~~ Crossbow arrows flew past the ears, and the back was also shot by a dense crossbow arrow.
However, after a clanging sound, all the arrows bounced off and landed, and the general's ancestral armor was not something that a crossbow could deal with.
Being still unscathed in the rain of arrows, this is the most romantic and heroic rhythm. But Ma Tieler showed a wry smile, although the beloved BMW under him was silent, but the blood of the horse's mouth had betrayed its end.
"Haha~Haha~~West Summer Country~West Summer Country~~"
Alas~ The horse tears in his eyes, sorry that it has tried its best, but it still falls.
Boom~~ The war horse rolled all the way with its general, and even rolled several horses down. But the end is to let Ma Tiele be a fierce general, and he was crushed to death by the war horse, and this time his armor can no longer be played.
Hehe~~ His chest was crushed, and Ma Tiele looked at the blue sky and white clouds with his eyes unwillingly: Qin Shimingyue Han Shiguan, the Long March has not yet been returned! It seems that they were wrong at the beginning, this land, the Yan and Huang sect Han people are the mainstream.
After most of the cavalry fell, the 20,000 cavalry and war cattle did not stop but went directly to the ports of the Yellow River. As long as the ports were blocked, the remaining 130,000 Western Xia soldiers could only fight to the death against the Han army on flat ground.
The dark clouds of the cavalry gradually faded away, and all the Western Xia soldiers were relieved. At least they don't have to be like corpses on the ground!
The battlefields that had been trampled by war oxen and heavy horses were painted with a thick layer of red.
The Western Xia soldiers were relieved, but all the generals and commanders looked desperate!
130,000 people began to gather in one place, and the boundless flow of people was like a forest, but it could not bring a sense of security!
"General, General Ma's body has finally been found!"
The old general said coldly: "Go and bury!" General Ben won't go! "Although he was only a nephew, he didn't dare to witness it! The once famous Western Xia warriors, in the end, they died without seeing their corpses!
"Honorable Order!"
The generals looked at the direction in which the Han cavalry left, and they also knew the purpose of the Han army.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Han army is going to occupy the riverbank! And it is impossible for the royal city to have reinforcements! ”
Although the Kingdom of Heaven has an army of 300,000, it is already the majority of the men of the Western Xia tribe! There are only 10,000 elite cavalry and 10,000 elite infantry left in the royal city, and the remaining 50,000 are old and weak soldiers! The Western Acropolis of Western Xia is only 20,000 old and weak militiamen!
After the Han cavalry rushed out, most of the main elite soldiers of the Western Xia Kingdom had been wiped out. The nearly 10,000 soldiers who escaped from the city before were also in a trance now, and many of them also had different burns.
What can I do! Wait for death! The Western Xia generals all know the ending! As soon as the fire is extinguished, the Han army will be dispatched. Then they will be just targets for artillery fire!
"Why don't we make a detour into the Mongolian realm?" Finally, someone said unwillingly!
As soon as the words came out, someone immediately responded with a sneer.
"Huh! You think the Han army will not pursue! And our grain and grass can last for a few days! Even if you enter Mongolia, I am afraid that you will be cooked and eaten by the Mongols who are short of food. ”
After the defeat of the Mongols in Xuzhou, most of the grain and grass promised by the Manchus were gone. This is also the reason why the Mongols hated the Manchus, and they not only suffered heavy casualties when they went south to fight, but also consumed a lot of food rations.
"Hey! Don't think about going to the prairie! It's better to throw yourself into the river, maybe you can still live a lot of people! "Most people can't swim, but if you're lucky enough to be washed up on the other side of the river.
The generals and commanders all have complicated expressions! In fact, they knew that there was one last way to live, but no one wanted to bring it up!
There were also 200,000 Mongols in the Hetao tribes, and they didn't want to pay attention to the Western Xia Kingdom. However, after knowing that the Han army would also send troops to the Hetao, the Mongols also agreed to send troops to encircle the Han army.
However, the tribes also needed time to assemble and prepare, and it would take a few days for the 50,000 Mongol cavalry to set out.
Receiving a reply from the Mongols, Admiral Supolan also immediately rushed back to the Western Xia royal city. He was the commander of the soldiers and horses in Wangcheng, and if he were not familiar with the Mongols in Hetao, he would not have sent an envoy.
