Looking at the retreating Western Xia cavalry, the defenders guarding Qingyuan City were undoubtedly shocked. The cheers could be heard even by the cavalry soldiers on the top of the mountains more than ten miles away. But this kind of cheer was extremely harsh to the Western Xia cavalry.

Nearly 4,000 elite string control men could not take a small city with a maximum of 3,000 defenders. This somewhat made it difficult for these arrogant and conceited Western Xia cavalry to accept this defeat. But the fact is that they did lose.

The Western Xia cavalry, which had regrouped in one place, looked at the round of attack and almost lost another thousand troops. The four thousand cavalry generals all had a sense of grievance in their hearts, staring at the Song army jumping and mocking on the top of the city, eager to kill all the other party.

The thousand cavalry generals who had previously proposed that Mu Tu's thousand horsemen might be ambushed said with a bitter face at this moment: "Several, looking at this situation, if you want to take this small city today, I'm afraid it's a little difficult." Why don't we retreat first and wait for the generals to arrive? ”

Faced with this thousand cavalry general's proposal to retreat, the other three thousand cavalry generals immediately vetoed: "Retreat, Amuli, the battle is like this, do you still have the heart to say retreat?" How do you say to withdraw, how do we tell the general?

Do you want us to tell the general that our four thousand cavalry teams can't even capture Qingyuan City? We can't do this kind of soft thing. In any case, even if we fight tonight, we will avenge the dead brothers.

We still don't believe that the Song army in this city can carry our four thousand-man team. Wait for our four thousand cavalry teams. Take turns attacking the south gate, and the remaining three city gates, just send people to attack and harass. Let's see how hard the bones of the Song army in Qingyuan City are. ”

This kind of decision made by the three of them, Amuli is naturally not easy to veto. In the end, only according to the advice of these three more senior thousand cavalry generals, the surviving cavalry was fed and fed outside the city.

Looking at these Western Xia cavalry, they refused to withdraw. The city guards of Qingyuan City also ordered the people in the city who were responsible for cooking. Deliver hot meals to the officers and soldiers defending the city.

As for the reserve army, they also began to quickly move the supplies they had consumed to the city walls. Qingzhuang Gate, which is responsible for operating the stone throwing machine in the city, has already emptied most of the stone piles. The stones were brought in again and stacked.

The defenders of the Qingyuan army and the Western Xia cavalry outside the city were all preparing for a night battle. Yang Jinbao, who was originally going to do it, was dissuaded by Gao Mingjun.

From the refusal of these Western Xia cavalry to retreat, Gao Mingjun guessed that these Western Xia soldiers who suffered losses and did not repent. If they don't want to take Qingyuancheng, they will continue to endure it and attack again.

Fighting snakes and fighting seven inches, now they have five thousand cavalry teams, although the number exceeds the opponent by nearly two thousand. You can think of annihilating such a cavalry team of 3,000 people. He asked himself if he could do it. Then the only way is to let the other party consume some more troops under Qingyuan City.

When they are sleepy, they will carry out a surprise attack from behind, and they will definitely be able to decide the overall situation in one battle. The 5,000 cavalry who started this time were all slaughtered outside Qingyuan City.

After listening to Gao Mingjun's analysis, several thousands of cavalry generals felt that they were reliable, and they were afraid of Yang Jinbao, who was in a hurry to fight. In the face of Gao Mingjun's calm analysis, he also knew that he was too anxious. Soon he returned to the team and told his subordinates to eat and continue to rest and stand by.

Compared to some time ago, the night was dark and windy. These days are not far from the day of the full moon. In this kind of moonlight like day, it doesn't really matter if the decisive battle is fought at night.

What's more, the cavalry paid special attention to the addition of animal liver in their diet. As a result, there were very few of these cavalry officers and soldiers who suffered from night blindness.

Even when night training was conducted in Chengdu Mansion, this kind of night pursuit class. It was also a common thing for the officers and men of the cavalry. In addition, with the moonlight as an illuminator, the cavalry naturally did not worry about letting the other party run away.

The Western Xia cavalry, who had regained a little strength after eating, heard the thousand cavalry generals who temporarily commanded them. When he said the slogan of not sealing the knife in the city, he became excited as if he had been beaten again.

Morale was boosted by a slogan of 'no sword', and the roar of killing caused the defenders to be lit without torches. I also know that I am afraid that I will have to fight hard all night tonight.

Fortunately, their morale is also high now, and they have sufficient supplies and reserves. If they can repel the attack of these Western Xia cavalry once, they will have the confidence to retreat a second and third time, until they are completely annihilated under the city of Qingyuan.

If it is really possible to annihilate four thousand-man cavalry teams with the power of one city, it will be for the defenders of the Qingyuan Army. will become famous in the first battle, and let them truly become Qin Fenglu, the most famous army that is good at defending.

With this expectation, the officers and soldiers defending the city, who were also well fed, were under the command of their respective officers. Waiting for the arrival of those rangers who had already turned over and mounted their horses, they would once again give these thieves a hard blow.

Looking at the first wave of attack, the thousand horsemen divided their troops at the south gate. Three teams of 100 began to attack the other city gates. The defender of Qingyuan City quickly realized that the direction of the opponent's main attack tonight would be the South Gate.

Quickly order the catapult to transfer part of it from the other three gates to the south gate to increase the defensive counterattack force in front of the south gate. Some archers who served as backups were also dispatched from several other city gates to wait in the cave at the south gate.

Li Mingda, who is eager to become famous in the first battle, knows very well that tonight will be a difficult night for him and the soldiers and civilians in the city. But as long as he survives this night, he and Qingyuan City will become famous.

After all, as the defender of Qingyuan City, he knew that in the past few years on Qinfeng Road, it was really rare to win thousands of victories in the battle to defend the city. So today he seems to have seen the results of this victory, how can he give it up at will?

The Western Xia cavalry wanted to enter the city without sealing the sword, and Li Mingda and the officers and soldiers defending the city hoped to make a name for themselves with these Fanbang cavalry. This kind of needle-to-edge battle is bound to be a life-and-death contest.

Sure enough, as the battle started again, those Western Xia cavalry still adopted wave-like cavalry shooting. Constantly shoot the defenders on the city walls, and the defenders on the city walls also use a large rain of arrows to shoot the siege cavalry in a larger position.

This kind of arrow flew under the night sky, taking away one living life after another, making Qingyuan City tonight no longer as quiet as it used to be. Completely shrouded in a murderous confrontation, whoever can hold on to the end will be the final winner.

Each thousand-man cavalry team continued to attack for half an hour, and then a second thousand-man cavalry took over. This kind of substitution and non-stop attack was used to force the defenders of the city to collapse without a fight.

The few thousand-strong generals who were still distressed by the casualties of their subordinates before knew that the battle would be fought to this extent, if they could not capture Qingyuan City. Then, after returning to the army, the fate that awaits them will be the end of accepting military law.

If you can take Qingyuan City, it may be worth sacrificing some cavalry. With this unsuccessful ruthlessness, the Western Xia cavalry continued to carry out oppressive attacks.

Gao Mingjun, who had been observing the situation in Qingyuan City, finally put down the Qianli Realm in his hand after seeing the first rotation of the Western Xia cavalry.

Said to the thousand cavalry generals who were already wearing armor around him: "The Fengzi battalion is responsible for clearing the fish that have slipped through the net, and the remaining four battalions have begun to set off to encircle." Take the ticking arrows of our golden battalion as a number, and attack as soon as the arrows sound. ”

The five thousand cavalry generals who had been negotiated before were soon picked up by the official thousand cavalry generals for the main attack, and the newly formed Fengzi battalion got the assist. For this kind of distribution, the youngest prince Shu didn't say much.

With the five thousand cavalry generals, they turned over their horses and gave the order to set off, and these cavalry officers and soldiers who had already rested for a day. Like a torrent of night, they began to advance towards their respective destinations.

Under this kind of moonlight, the Western Xia cavalry, whose attention was all attracted by the battle ahead, was not aware at all. A catastrophe had already struck them, and when the scouts in charge of patrolling noticed a wave of unknown cavalry appearing.

When he first found out that the clothes on the other party were different from his own, he was about to report the news, but he was shot and killed by the vanguard cavalry who rushed over. It wasn't until the exhausted Western Xia cavalry realized that they were surrounded, they had already flown their wings.

Looking at the four cavalry that formed an encirclement outside the city, the equally exhausted defenders looked at the retreating siege cavalry. realized that the four cavalry were their reinforcements.

The officers and soldiers defending the city breathed a sigh of relief, and when they heard that reinforcements had arrived, the archers who were already tired and couldn't lift their hands. Finally, he couldn't help it, put down the bow and arrow, which he didn't know how many arrows he had shot, and looked at the plain battlefield outside the city.

Although many officers and soldiers defending the city are clear, this year the imperial court seems to have sent an elite cavalry into Qinfeng Road to clean up the increasingly arrogant Western Xia people. But there is a chance to see that so many Song Dynasty cavalry appeared at the same time, which is really the first time for many Song troops.

Previously, it was the cavalry who watched them fight, but now it is the turn of the defenders to watch the cavalry fight. The Western Xia cavalry, which was compressed and surrounded together, had less than 2,000 soldiers, and finally realized that this time it was a big trouble.

Looking at these unhurried Song Dynasty cavalry who pressed over like a net, he still felt that Mu Tu's thousand-man team was before. The three Western Xia thousand generals who could not be completely annihilated finally felt deep regret in their hearts.

Looking at Amuli, who had proposed to retreat earlier, the three thousand cavalry generals quickly said: "Amuli, the three of us regret not listening to your advice, which led to such a dead end in the army. Wait a minute, the three of us will work together to open a gap and escort you and your men to break through.

Remember, you must tell the general about this incident, so that he can remember to avenge us. As for us, we'll fight with these Song dogs to the end tonight.

Listen, the brothers must fight to the death tonight and escort Amuli to break through. At any time, we can't afford to lose the backbone of the Tangut people! Isn't it just a group of soft egg cavalrymen of the Song Dynasty, will we be afraid of them? ”

'Don't be afraid! Unafraid! ’

The Western Xia cavalry, who knew that there was no way out, once again showed their fierce side. It's just that whether the result will be as they expected, we will only know after they have killed it! (To be continued......)
