"Young Chief, General Tuoba Wen is dead!" Someone shouted loudly.

"What?"

Tuoba Wei turned back and looked at Tuoba Wen's army, the two thousand troops had disappeared, and the Song army raised a human head, and the face was Tuoba Wen.

Tuoba Wei was full of grief and indignation in his heart, and shouted: "Fight with Song Jun!" ”

The army of the Tuoba Department was actually surrounded by 90,000 Song troops,

Cao Meng led 20,000 cavalry from the flank to rush into the 10,000-strong rear army of the Tuoba Division, which was the weakest army of the Tuoba Division, almost all of them were new recruits, poorly equipped, and demoralized.

So the Tuoba army put them last, but they didn't expect to encounter the most powerful cavalry of the Song army, 20,000.

They were already the weakness of the Tuoba army, and under the panic of the soldiers, they became groups of sheep to be slaughtered, and under the ferocious killing of the Song army, they died tragically in batches.

Cao Meng's fierce force exploded, and he swung a sledgehammer through the cavalry formation, and under his sledgehammer, all the Tuoba soldiers had their brains bursting, their bones broken, and their tendons broken.

And the 20,000 cavalry of the Song army behind him, with 500 people as a team, criss-crossed, swords and arrows, spears pierced the chest, they divided the enemy formation, ruthlessly killed the already chaotic enemy, the swords were stained with blood, under the powerful impact of the Song cavalry, the phalanx of 10,000 recruits completely collapsed, they scattered and fled, and the military spirit was lost.

Tuobavi closed his eyes in pain, he finally had the intention of retreating, but it was a little late by this time, his rear road was cut off, and the five thousand cavalry he led were facing the hoplites head-on.

The drum beats, slowly but powerfully, "Boom! Boom! With the sound of heavy drums, the hoplites were approaching the Tuoba army dozens of paces away, every step was so shocking, and every step was so imposing.

At this time, Tuoba Wei saw that the situation was not good, and shouted, "Rush out!" ”

Tuoba Wei began to look for a way out, but his soldiers knew very well that only by rushing out could they have any hope of survival, and the instinct to escape made them desperate, they raised their long knives and danced their spears, and frantically charged at the Song heavy infantry, rushing like a storm, but the heavy infantry stood still like a mountain.

Tuoba Ading, the general of the Tuoba Department, took the lead, he waved his spear, roared, and stabbed at the leader of the Song army when he was distracted, the leader of the heavy infantry was the general Guan Sheng, he shouted, and the fierce sword of the horse chopped head-on, and the sword was fierce, and immediately split the Tuoba Ading and the horse who rushed to him into half, the blood splashed, and the internal organs flowed.

The heavy infantry wielded their long knives, advancing step by step, the sword light and blood shadow, or slashing or stabbing, invincible, the Tuoba cavalry rolled to the ground with severed heads and broken bodies, screams and wails resounded through the field, behind them and on both sides, the Song army cavalry shot arrows like flying locusts, causing them heavy casualties.

The wounded Tuoba cavalry fell to their knees and pleaded, but they still could not escape death, they were chopped to pieces by the heavy infantry in formation, rivers of blood flowed, corpses were scattered, and the wilderness gradually became a one-sided human slaughterhouse.

．．．．．．．．

Li Zhizong saw that Tuoba Wei did not listen to his command at all, he was full of hatred and anger in his heart, but he was helpless, he could not help but save the Tuoba army, Li Zhizong hurriedly said to the fine seal: "General Xifeng, the situation is urgent, I hope to send troops to rescue the Tuoba Department for the sake of the imperial court, if the Tuoba Department is annihilated, our follow-up battle will be very unfavorable." ”

Xi Feng Bei also said coldly: "I don't know if I saved the Tuoba Department, do you want to behead Tuoba Wei to show the public?" ”

The fine seal was also unambiguous, and the conditions for sending troops to rescue the Tuoba Department were set to kill Tuoba Wei.

Li Zhizong was suddenly a little embarrassed, Tuoba Wei is the young chief of the Tuoba Department, and he is about to inherit the position of the big chief of the Tuoba Department, if he is killed, the withdrawal of the Tuoba Department is still a trivial matter, maybe there will be infighting, and he will not be able to explain to Tuoba Wanli.

But if you don't kill Tuobawei, the army's heart will be over, Tuoba Wei changed the battle plan without authorization, and did not listen to the commander's orders, no matter which army it was in, it was a capital crime, so the requirements of the fine seal were not too much.

Li Zhizong said in a loud voice: "Tuoba Wei is still young after all, and he is reckless, I promise to let his father apologize to General Xifeng, and I hope that General Xifeng will take into account the overall situation and send troops to rescue Tuoba Department." ”

"Du Shuai said seriously, first, Tuoba Wanli will never let the fine seal apologize, if he apologizes, he will not want to do it as this chief, he will apologize to you at most, second, the state has national laws, the army has military regulations, such a serious violation of military discipline as Tuoba Wei, if it is not severely punished, the military spirit will be completely dispersed, third, our army is not prepared at all, but the Song army is fully prepared, I can take into account the overall situation and send troops, but if the Song army takes advantage of the situation to be completely defeated, what does it mean to Western Xia, please think about it carefully."

The sweat on Li Zhizong's forehead came out, and the words of the fine seal were heartfelt, what should he do? He saw that Tuoba was no longer able to resist, but he was surrounded by the Song army and couldn't escape, he was so anxious that he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Even if I don't kill him, I will definitely punish Tuoba Wei severely, beat him with three hundred military sticks, please send troops to General Xifeng!" ”

Beat three hundred military sticks, if you don't die, half your life is gone, and the fine seal immediately agreed, he discussed it with the other tribal generals, and he immediately ordered: "Order the whole army to attack!" ”

"Whew-"

The trumpets sounded continuously, and the armies of the various tribes had already assembled, and in the sound of the horns, 100,000 troops came to the battlefield from a distance.

Li Yanqing saw it clearly, he sneered, and ordered: "Order the army to assemble!" ”

"Woo-" The horn of the assembly sounded, and the Song army began to withdraw from the battlefield in an orderly manner and began a new assembly.

The Tuoba army, which had suffered extremely heavy losses, finally got a glimmer of life, and Tuoba Wei led the army to break out of the encirclement and rush to the northeast.

In this battle, the Tuoba Department suffered extremely heavy losses, with most of the casualties, more than 20,000 killed in the battle, nearly 10,000 wounded, and the deputy general Tuoba Wen also died in the chaos.

Li Zhizong saw that the Song army had begun to assemble and retreat, and he immediately said goodbye to the fine seal: "Don't fight again, return to the army immediately." ”

Xi Fengbei also did not want to fight a decisive battle with the Song army at this time, he immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army, and the 100,000 army stopped advancing when it was still two miles away from the battlefield, and began to retreat quickly in the direction of the military camp.

The Song army swept the battlefield, burned and buried the corpses, packed up the armor and horses, and began to retreat to the city of Lingzhou.

The news came quickly, Tuoba Wei didn't even return to the camp, and directly returned to the Tuoba Department with the rest of the army, Li Zhizong was almost mad, he pulled out his sword and chopped in the big tent, and the items on the table 'boom!' Swept to the ground, pointed at a few pro-soldiers and scolded, "Get out!" Get the hell out of here! ”

Several pro-soldiers were so frightened that they crawled out with a belt, only to hear Du Shuai scolding angrily in the big tent, everyone was so frightened that no one dared to enter the tent to persuade him.

In the camp of the fine sealing army, Xi Feng Bei also drank a sip of mare's milk wine, wiped the milk stains from his lips, and said to several tribal leaders: "Li Zhizong's courage is not good, and the military power is not enough, so he can't suppress the army at all. 'Word, if you don't come twice, you will be cut off if you push it out directly, no matter what kind of young chief you are, clean everyone up and obey it, who dares not to obey the general's order, this kind of thing will not happen today at all, because Tuoba Wei has long died. ”

"The general is right, if it is Brother Richard, whoever is allowed to fight will fight, there is absolutely no room for negotiation, if you don't obey, you will be killed, like Li Zhizong hung out a challenge last night, who volunteered to fight, this is easy to make Tuoba Wei feel that Li Zhizong is begging him to fight, which is pampered and arrogant, so once he fails, he dares to lead the army back to the tribe, and he doesn't pay attention to Li Zhizong at all."

Another chief said worriedly: "Looking at the Song army today, Li Yanqing's order was stopped, the withdrawal and assembly were very fast, and the Song army was extremely combative, and there was actually a demon magic, I feel that we have no chance at all in this big battle." ”

At the mention of witchcraft, everyone was silent, and everyone witnessed with their own eyes, white smoke came out of the sticks, and the cavalry fell one after another, which was terrible, it was simply terrifying.

There are some things that everyone doesn't want to talk about in depth, the big tent is very silent, everyone just drinks milk wine bowl by bowl, everyone's heart is heavy, and they gradually lose confidence in the future of Western Xia.

.........

Li Yanqing's purpose in today's battle was to give a heavy blow to the armies of the Western Xia Dynasty, and he used all the essence of the Song army, such as the Divine Arm Crossbow, Heavy Armored Infantry, and Firearms, and he originally planned to use the Heaven-Shaking Thunder, but in the end he didn't use it.

However, Li Yanqing's goal today has basically been achieved, which has dealt a heavy blow to the confidence of the party's tribal armies and made them lose confidence in the future of the Western Xia, so that when the interests of the Western Xia court and their own tribe conflict, they must first consider the interests of their own tribe.

In the big tent, Li Yanqing is convening the generals to have a celebration banquet, the wine can not be drunk, only tea can be used instead of wine, but there are large pieces of barbecue, the generals gathered together with great interest, laughter, not only the generals, all the soldiers can eat barbecue, today killed 20,000 sheep to the army, so that the Jingzhao army is full of laughter.

Wang Gui took a big bite of the meat, and said vaguely: "Dutong, I heard that the Tuoba Department has withdrawn its troops back to their own tribe, which is very interesting, they simply do whatever they want in the army!" ”

Everyone spoke one after another, and they all felt that the military discipline of the Western Xia army was too poor, and this kind of army would suffer a big loss when fighting.

Li Yanqing smiled slightly: "There are two reasons for this, one is that their integration time is too short and the troops are in a hurry, generally after this kind of tribal army is assembled, it is necessary to carry out a certain degree of training and integration to ensure the smooth military order, even if the Song army from all walks of life is assembled, it must be integrated, not to mention the tribal armies that are in their own formations?" Their Lord will be very ineffective in this regard, perhaps because of his lack of ability!

The second is the internal contradiction of Western Xia, in the past, the Western Xia and the Song army fought, basically all of them were tribal armies, why did this problem not appear before, have you thought about it? ”
