Chapter 450: Facing the Enemy
"General, look at this meaning, Dingzhou City...... It seems to be broken. Wei Sheng said softly.
When Li Changqi heard the news, his face was a little difficult to look at, he was deliberately delaying time and wanted to preserve his strength, but when he really heard the news of the city break at this time, he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"This Dingzhou City is known as a natural risk, two mountains and one pass, this Li Ran is really a waste, such a natural risk, he can't even hold it for a day." Vita couldn't help but complain.
Li Changqi's face was a little unsightly, he turned his head to Wei and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this, what should we do next?" ”
Yes, what should they do next, but what should they do next?
After all, the next thing they had to face was the Mongol army, and there was no danger to defend.
"For today's plan, it seems that the only way to do this is to withdraw the army and defend it in Xingqing Mansion!" Vita said softly at this time.
"Back to Xingqing Mansion?" Li Changqi frowned, and before he started the war, he went back to Xingqing Mansion directly, which made Li Changqi feel a little uncomfortable, but he also had to admit that the strategy of Vita was very wise, after all, between Xingqing Mansion and Dingzhou City is now a flat river, such a scene is very beneficial to the Mongolian army, after all, the Mongolian army is a nomadic people, and for the Western Xia army, it has become a disaster.
"But if you go back at this time, you will inevitably be impeached by those people in the DPRK and China." Li Changqi said softly.
Vita took a deep breath, he also understood this truth, and now they regret it a little, if they don't delay time, they probably won't face such a situation.
Li Changqi is a gentleman, and his character is still a little flawed, especially at this time, he is actually a little hesitant, because Li Changqi's hesitation has also brought him ruin.
Because it didn't take long for the spies in front to rush over to report.
"General, something is wrong...... the spy said in a hurry.
"What happened?" Li Changqi said with a frown, with a faint bad premonition in his heart.
"The Mongol army, the Mongol army has come here!" The spy said breathlessly.
"What?" Li Changqi felt his brain "buzz", which was definitely not good news.
Because the Mongol army was going to cross Helan Mountain, it was originally pure infantry, but because it occupied Dingzhou City, and the defenders of Dingzhou City did not have time to ride war horses when they fled, so now the Mongol army was cheapened.
The Mongols were born knights, they dealt with horses all day long, as long as they were on the horse, they could ride, so to speak, as many war horses as they could, they could become as many cavalrymen.
Now Temujin led an army of 30,000, of which 10,000 were cavalry, and Temujin took the lead, leading with 10,000 cavalry, and charged towards Li Changqi's army.
"How many enemy troops are coming?" Vita asked softly.
"The overwhelming arrival, it seems that the cavalry is at least more than 10,000 people." The scout hurriedly said.
"How far are the enemy troops from our army?" Vita then asked.
"The enemy is less than thirty miles away from our army."
Thirty miles, for the cavalry, it should be possible to arrive in half an hour.
"General, the Mongolian cavalry is about to arrive, please make a decision as soon as possible!" Vita said to Li Changqi.
"Only 10,000 cavalry?" Li Changqi asked.
"I haven't seen any infantry for the time being." The scout replied.
"Hahaha......" Hearing the news, Li Changqi couldn't help but look up to the sky and laughed, and said: "God really help me, the Mongolian army actually only dispatched 10,000 people, it is really beyond my strength, do you really think that there is no one in our Western Xia army, and you dare to directly lead 10,000 cavalry to fight." ”
When he heard what Li Changqi said, he hurriedly said: "I'm afraid that the Mongolian army is cavalry in front, and there are infantry behind behind." ”
This is also what Li Changqi was worried about, he stomped back and forth, and said: "This Mongolian army has abandoned the infantry and driven straight in, and its lord is definitely a man of arrogance, this is definitely a good opportunity for us." ”
Wei He nodded and said, "Having said that, if you really want to swallow these 10,000 cavalry, the speed must be fast, if it drags on for a long time, I am afraid it will not be good for our army." ”
"Go and explore again, let me go fifty miles, and see how many infantry there are behind the Mongol army." Li Changqi ordered.
The scouts were sent out like a marquee, and at this time, Li Changqi still didn't have the idea of whether to fight or retreat in the end, and it was the delay that caused him to lose this time.
"General, otherwise, let's just retreat." Wei He saw Li Changqi's hesitation, and couldn't help but say at this time that when it is difficult for people to make decisions, they often need others to give him a little courage.
Li Changqi glanced at Vita, shook his head, and said, "If you go back like this, you can't guarantee that you will be blamed by Your Majesty." ”
Wei He sighed in his heart, even if he was blamed by His Majesty, it was better than dying halfway through.
"General......" Wei still wanted to say something, but at this time, Li Changqi waved his hand and said: "I have already made up my mind, the Mongols dare to act so boldly, this time I will call him to come and go." ”
"But the scouts haven't come back yet!" Vita reminded.
"By the time the scouts come back, it's too late!" Li Changqi suddenly became decisive at this time, and said: "I remember that there is Changban Slope not far behind, and we will set up an ambush in that place." ”
Changban Slope is a low hill, the official road passes through the center of the hill, Li Changqi set up an ambush on both sides of the hill, preparing to let the cavalry as a bait to lure the Mongolian cavalry deep, and then let the infantry kill from both sides at that time, annihilating the Mongolian cavalry in one fell swoop.
The plan sounded flawless, at least in Mr. Lee's eyes.
After formulating the plan, Li Changqi's army began to move quickly, 50,000 troops, 10,000 cavalry, 40,000 infantry, at this time Li Changqi ordered 10,000 cavalry to line up and prepare to meet the Mongol army from the front.
40,000 infantry, as ambush soldiers, hid on both sides of the hills of Nagasaka Slope, preparing to wait for the cavalry to retreat, and then suddenly attack, and encircle and annihilate the 10,000 Mongol troops in this place on Nagasaka Slope.
Canaan, the general of the Western Xia cavalry, rode a horse at the front of the army, and from a distance, he saw the Mongol army galloping wildly, galloping with thousands of horses, this momentum was still very shocking.
