Chapter 508: Unwarranted Accusations

Wang Xin took a step back, and Wang Deyong agreed because he was worried about his personal safety. After discussion, the two decided to send 20,000 cavalry out of the city to join the reinforcements.

Of the 20,000 cavalry, 15,000 of them were the elite of the Northern Army, and the other 5,000 were the cavalry brought by Wang Deyong.

This is not to say how generous and selfless Wang Deyong is, he is just worried that if this is not the plan of the three clans, once they really converge with the reinforcements sent by the imperial court, then he can share most of the credit if he sends 5,000 cavalry.

20,000 Great Song cavalry soon came to meet in front of the south gate of Xincheng. As the city gate was pulled up, the cavalry rushed out and rushed towards the imperial reinforcements ten miles outside the city.

On a high slope in the land of ten miles, Huang Gaoyi saw the Great Song cavalry out of the city, and couldn't help laughing. "Okay, good, they came out to join us." Look at the book

"General, should we rush up and join them now?" The adjutant general on the side asked.

"Don't worry, let them run for a while and see how it goes." Huang Gaoyi shook his head, he also felt that something was wrong, and thought that he would wait and see.

And on another high slope ten miles away where Huang Gaoyi was, General Lei Meng and five thousand dragon guards were also stopping here to observe.

"Commander Lei, the cavalry in the city has come out, but it seems that General Huang has no intention of moving forward, why is this?"

The person who spoke out had dark skin, his eyes were like copper bells, his eyes showed a fierce light, and there was a murderous aura on his body.

He is Nie Yong, the general next to Lei Meng, who was originally a member of the Western Army, and because of his bravery, he was selected to enter Long Wuwei.

"Why? Be timid." Raymond shook his head, and said with anger in his eyes.

In Raymond's eyes, Huang Gaoyi may have sensed that something was wrong. If that were the case, he should not have appeared at this time and not entered the city.

Since you are still here, then don't consider whether there is a fraud or not, that is, if the cavalry of the Song army in the city has come out, he should immediately move forward and join them.

In this way, even if there is real fraud, it is not that there is no power to fight back.

At that time, if the Song army in Xincheng seized the opportunity to go out of the city to fight and come to a counter-encirclement, he would also take five thousand dragon guards to kill him, and he might not have a chance to win in a battle.

It's just a pity that this is just his personal opinion.

I have a mind, and I can't fight in unison, so it's just an idea in the end.

"Tell everyone that you can't move forward without an order." Raymond seemed to have seen the defeat of the battle, so he had to give an order to Nie Yong.

Not for anything else, his five thousand dragon guards are all elite veterans, don't rush forward on impulse, that is just to deliver food to the enemy.

"The last will understand." Nie Yong agreed, turned around and began to command.

On the battlefield, 20,000 Song horsemen came out of the city.

Unhindered, they were so fast that they soon traveled five miles for a distance of ten miles. And at this time, Huang Gaoyi's department finally moved.

The 100,000 reinforcements also began to move forward slowly, but no matter how you look at it, the speed is not very fast, as if it is not in a hurry.

"Why don't you hurry forward, and the two armies come together in one place, and come to the city?" On the city tower, Wang Deyong watched this scene, and his eyes were about to burst into flames.

Wang Xingang, who was standing on the side, wanted to say something, but at this moment, his face suddenly changed and said, "It's not good, sure enough, this is a trap."

As soon as Wang Xin's voice fell, a large number of cavalry of the three clans appeared outside the originally quiet South City Gate.

Among them were Liao soldiers in green armor, Western Xia cavalry in blue armor, and Mongolian cavalry in blue and white armor.

From a distance, there are countless crowds of people. There was at least 150,000 cavalry troops.

As soon as so many cavalry of the three clans appeared, they went straight to the 20,000 cavalry of the Song army who went out of the city and surrounded them.

"Not good, withdraw." In the middle of the team, Huang Gaoyi, who was still walking cautiously, watched the enemy rider suddenly

appeared, and there were still so many of them, and at the moment they were panicked, and they shouted to retreat.

This is indeed the trap of the alien race, and now his army of 100,000 has been opened, and the team is in a state of advancement.

Huang Gaoyi, who was desperate for his life, turned around and fled, and the speed was not much faster than the 20,000 Song cavalry that came from the opposite side.

The main general fled before fighting, and the 100,000 Song army collapsed at the moment, and in the midst of a rapid turn, the formation was even more chaotic. Some soldiers who are not in a hurry to react, once they are pushed to the ground, are often trampled on the ground by the people behind them, and they are powerless to get up.

As soon as hundreds of thousands of alien horsemen appeared, the Song army was in chaos before the battle.

Wang Deyong on the city tower who watched this scene was stunned and frightened.

Fortunately, he listened to the persuasion and did not order the whole army to go out of the city, otherwise, how could the infantry who were walking be the opponent of hundreds of thousands of different cavalry?

At this moment, Wang Xin smashed his fist on the top of the city tower, ignoring the bones of his hand that had already flowed, and said, "Come on, gather the army, and go out of the city to meet the battle."

"No."

Seeing that Wang Xin was going to leave the city at such a time, Wang De used where he was willing to obey, and immediately stopped the herald who wanted to turn around.

Seeing Wang Deyong stopping, Wang Xin said angrily: "Wang Xianggong, if we don't go out of the city to fight now, I'm afraid that the 20,000 cavalry will be wiped out."

"What about the destruction, the soldiers should die on the battlefield, and we still have our own responsibility, that is, to defend Xincheng."

At this moment, Wang Deyong is talking about righteousness and awe-inspiring, but in fact, it is just a manifestation of fear of death.

In the eyes of such a person, whose life is not as important as his own, and whoever dies as long as he does not die.

"Hey."

Seeing that Wang Deyong would never agree, Wang Xin had to sigh, his eyes were blood-red and he looked at the 20,000 cavalry sent out of the city, surrounded and divided by aliens several times their size.

The 20,000 Great Song cavalry were already in chaos when they found more than 100,000 different horsemen coming from all directions. In particular, the 5,000 cavalry brought by Wang Deyong did not obey the military order, and under the leadership of the general Zheng Changjiu, they began to scatter and flee desperately.

This also affected the remaining 15,000 cavalry from the North, which prevented them from making the most correct decision in the first place, such as choosing one point and rushing out.

And by the time they came back and wanted to break through, they were already surrounded by alien cavalry groups, and there was no chance to rush out.

"Kill!"

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the 15,000 northern cavalry let out their final cry and began to launch a decisive charge against the alien cavalry besieging them.

When the cavalry in the north counterattacked, Huang Gaoyi withdrew from the battlefield with an army of 50,000 and rushed straight towards Chitang Pass, south of Xincheng.

As for the remaining 50,000 people, half of them, Huang Gaoyi couldn't care about that much.

The 50,000 chaotic Song army infantry and 15,000 Song army cavalry were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of foreign cavalry, bows and arrows were constantly released, blood flew out one after another, and a famous Song army was shot on this land that had been stained red with blood.

Raymond, who was ten miles away, also saw this scene, and he wanted to impulsively kill it with five thousand dragon guards several times.

But he knew that he couldn't do this, this was irresponsible to the soldiers, and even more irresponsible to King Jing.

This time, in order to let everyone with five thousand dragon warriors have horses to ride, King Jing took out an unknown amount of silver, which was enough for five thousand war horses.

It is no exaggeration to say that this time he came with King Jing's expectations, if he threw himself into this first battle, he would die, and he would be sorry for King Jing, and he couldn't afford this responsibility.

"Retreat, retreat."

In order to avoid turning back, the alien cavalry found himself, and after surrounding him, Raymond, who had tears in his eyes, retreated back with five thousand dragon guard cavalry.

Long Wuwei left.

Huang Gaoyi also left.

On the tower of Xincheng City, Wang Deyong and Wang Xin looked at 10,000

5,000 Song cavalry, 50,000 infantry, a total of 65,000 Song troops were surrounded and exterminated by hundreds of thousands of alien races.

This battle lasted for more than four hours.

It wasn't over until it was dark.

There was no unified command, except for the fifteen thousand northern cavalry that inflicted nearly four thousand casualties on the alien race. The aliens have little to lose.

Zheng Changjiu fled with more than 2,000 cavalry first, and he didn't even have the courage to join Huang Gaoyi, so he fled straight to the direction of Bianliang City.

At the cost of less than 5,000 cavalry, nearly 70,000 soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty were wiped out, and the three clans won a great victory, making their arrogance in the northern border of the Song Dynasty even more arrogant.

The news of this battle soon spread to Bianliang City, and in front of all the ministers, Zhao Zhen threw Huang Gaoyi's recital on the ground, and roared and asked, "What the hell is going on? Why didn't Wang Deyong and Wang Xin break through in time?"

"Why, Huang Gaoyi didn't take the initiative to move closer to Xincheng?"

"Why the big defeat?"

"Nearly 70,000 soldiers of my Great Song Dynasty were bloodstained on the spot, who will bear this responsibility?"

The emperor's shouts echoed in the hall, and all the courtiers, one counts as one, and all of them bowed their heads at this meeting.

No matter what they want to say in their hearts, they can only suffer it now, and when the emperor's anger is not so strong, it is when they can really open their mouths to explain.

For a full quarter of an hour, Zhao Zhen's whole body couldn't help but tremble, and then he sat back on the dragon chair with Zhang Maoze's support.

The breath was also slowly calming down, and at this time, someone from the courtiers below finally spoke. "Your Majesty, I would like to ask, where did General Zhongmu go when the Great War began?"

The person who spoke was none other than Governor Wen Yanbo, who had been dismissed by Su Shi in the court, and finally took the opportunity to rebuke Su Shi at this moment.

"That's right, His Majesty ordered General Zhongwu to return to Xincheng before, where was he during the battle?" The one who came out was Dazong Zheng Zhao Yunrang.
