Chapter 525: Can't be saved

In terms of troops, there are 50,000 on his side, and the 100,000 of the Western Army is only 150,000. But the three tribes have 270,000 soldiers and horses here. The difference in strength is a bit large.

According to Huang Gaoyi's meaning, we should look at the situation first and then see if the imperial court will send reinforcements.

Who would have thought that Di Qing, a stunned young man, would only send someone to contact him once, and then send troops by himself.

Did he think that with 100,000 western troops, he could defeat the army of 270,000 three tribes?

"This Di Qing will do bad things. If once 100,000 Western troops died here, how could the siege of Xincheng be solved? Isn't the Great Song in danger?" Huang Gaoyi scolded Di Qing in his heart, and at the same time prepared in his heart, that is, once the Western Army was annihilated, he would retreat immediately.

Once it is determined that the Great Song Dynasty has no reinforcements, I am afraid that the Chitang Pass where I am located next will not be safe.

As for whether Di Qing can win the battle, Huang Gaoyi didn't think about it at all. That's more than 200,000 elite soldiers of the three clans, if it's so easy to deal with, how can there be a danger of Xincheng.

Huang Gaoyi decided to sit on the sidelines, which made the pressure on Di Qing's department even greater. And at this time, the news of his initiative to attack also reached the rear.

"What a Di Qing, worthy of being General Mianni, he is really not a person who is afraid of death. It's just that you think you're not afraid of death? Send them in, let them in, and surround them with heavy troops." I was a little surprised to learn that the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty was going to attack while it was dark.

But don't panic.

They had long expected that the western army would come, and had prepared a full 370,000 horses, nearly four times the strength of the troops, and he came to see how long these western troops could last.

Prepared, although Di Qing had the first move, the three clans were not so panicked, and began to retreat step by step according to the previous plan, luring the Western army into their encirclement.

This night, the shouts of killing continued all night, and the two sides continued to fight fiercely.

When it was almost dawn, Di Qing's troops traveled more than twenty miles in one night, killing corpses everywhere, and even the air was filled with the smell of blood.

The enemies in front of him were all killed, and the 30,000 cavalry led by Di Qing finally had time to rest.

Of course, at this time there were no more than 30,000 cavalry, only more than 27,000 remained.

In a fierce battle all night, more than 2,000 horsemen were killed.

There were more than 7,000 soldiers of the three clans who died in their hands, including a thousand Mongolian cavalry and two Western Xia cavalry battalions.

The sky was bright, and the Xincheng City Tower could already be seen in the distance, Di Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The war was simpler than I thought.

I thought that if I wanted to kill near Xincheng, it would take at least a day, and nearly 10,000 cavalry would need to be killed. Now it seems that he has overestimated the combat power of the army of the three clans.

Here, Di Qing just breathed a sigh of relief, and a scout ran over not far away, and as soon as the person arrived, he said with an anxious face, "General, our back road has been cut off."

"The back road is cut off?"

Hearing this news, Di Qing was stunned.

"Yes, our back road has been cut off, and right behind us, at least sixty thousand alien horsemen have appeared. They have reoccupied Tuhe, and we can't get out now."

The scout had just finished speaking, when another scout ran over, "General, the cavalry of the three clans has been found in the west, and General He Kun has already approached us with his infantry."

"General, the cavalry of the three clans has been found in the east, and General Lu Zifei is rushing towards us."

Scouts continued to appear one after another, reporting the news, Di Qing was stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "So, we are surrounded?"

Di Qing was indeed surrounded.

In the four directions of his headquarters, 60,000 soldiers of the three tribes appeared on all sides, and all of them were cavalry.

240,000 against the Great Song Western Army, which was less than 100,000.

It is still a horse against each other, and the Western Army is in danger.

He Kun and Lu Zifei soon appeared by Di Qing's side, and at this moment they finally learned a news, that is, they were surrounding Xincheng

The soldiers of the three tribes were not 270,000, but 370,000.

"So, the three clans have been ready for a long time, just waiting for us to appear."

Di Qing was not stupid, he quickly figured out everything, and then sighed: "The 240,000 cavalry surround us less than 100,000 horses, and they really look up to us."

"General, what are we going to do next? Otherwise, let's break through."

"All our infantry rushed outward, covering the general's breakthrough, and the direction was Chitang Pass, where there was General Huang's 50,000 troops, and it would be safe for the general to go there." Lu Zifei also spoke.

"No, no." Di Qing immediately vetoed it.

"General." He Kun and Lu Zifei wanted to speak out and persuade again.

Di Qing shook his head with an iron heart and said, "Needless to say, isn't it more than 200,000 cavalry of the Three Clans? We have nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in our hands, and who knows what the outcome will be if we don't fight a battle? Order, dig trenches at once, build defenses, and prepare to defend against the enemy."

"Also, tell everyone, have faith, we are surrounded here, the imperial court will not see death without help, and the western army will not see death without help, as long as we can persevere, we can see the hope of victory."

"At that time, as soon as the reinforcements arrive, we can kill them from the inside and outside."

Di Qing didn't choose to break through now. That's because he knows that if he does this, although he may live, he is afraid that there will be not much left of the 100,000 Western Army.

If so, what face does he have to return to the Western Army, and what face does he have to meet the families of those soldiers.

The eldest husband would rather die standing than live on his knees.

Besides, before this battle was fought, he knew that it was very dangerous, and he was ready to die in battle.

The crockpot will not be broken from Inoue, and the general will inevitably die in battle.

Isn't it just a death, a soldier can die, he can't?

Di Qing's department was surrounded, and he did not start to break through at the first time, but built a defense, looking like he wanted to fight to the death with the three clans.

Huang Gaoyi of Chitang Pass got the news from his scouts, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly sent someone to send the news to Bianliang City, and at the same time he was ready to evacuate at any time.

In the middle of Tuhezhai and Xincheng, nearly 100,000 Western troops were surrounded, and this scene was also seen by Wang Deyong on the upper floor of Xincheng City.

Knowing that reinforcements were coming, Wang Deyong was very happy.

After defending the city for so long, he finally saw hope, and he was a little excited, and even wanted to cry.

But when he saw that the reinforcements had not yet arrived under Xincheng, they were surrounded by a strong one, and he wanted to cry even more.

Does God want to kill himself?

"It's the Western Army here, I saw their flags, no, we want to find a way to save them." Wang Xin, who was on the city tower, said solemnly.

"What? What do you say?"

Wang Deyong, who was already in the circle of tears, didn't care to cry after hearing Wang Xin's words, and shouted at him immediately.

"They are surrounded by heavy troops, how can we save them?"

"We're not going to be able to protect ourselves, you know?"

"If we divide our forces to rescue now, we won't have enough troops to defend the city, you know?"

"If you want to die, go by yourself, and none of the soldiers in the city can move."

"You want to die, you can't harm us."

Wang Deyong, who was angry, kept talking and even scolding this meeting.

Wang Xin stood on top of the tower, speechless for a long time.

If he had the final say here, he really wanted to rescue Di Qing.

When the inside and the outside are combined, there may not be no chance of winning.

Of course, losing is more likely. But it doesn't matter, it's nothing more than death.

Wang Xin's life, on the battlefield, he doesn't know how much life and death he has experienced, and he really isn't so afraid of this.

But if Wang De doesn't allow it, he doesn't have the right to transfer troops.

In the Song system, on the battlefield, generals are used to charge, and the real decision-makers are not them.

Just like now, some generals on the city tower also had the same idea as Wang Xin and wanted to go out of the city to fight.

The Western Army is here to save themselves, and they can't watch these comrades being surrounded and killed.

But now, with Wang De's shout, those generals bowed their heads and remained silent.

You can see that they are following orders from the military.

It can also be seen as a manifestation of foolish loyalty.

But the ancestral system has been handed down for hundreds of years, and people have long been accustomed to it and have accepted it.

At this moment, there were tears in Wang Xin's eyes.

This is the 100,000 Western soldiers who came to rescue him, and now let him watch them die in front of him, that feeling is even more uncomfortable than killing him.

It's just that he doesn't have the slightest solution, no.

In Wang Xin's sight, more than 200,000 soldiers of the three clans launched an attack on Di Qing's temporary military camp.

"The archers are in front, the shieldmen are behind, and the pikemen are in the tail, and the arrows are fired."

In the temporary barracks, facing the cavalry of the three clans coming from all directions, Di Qing did not show the slightest fear on his face, and behaved very calmly.

Military orders came out of his mouth, and arrows continued to fly outward, shooting towards the cavalry of the three clans that rushed forward.

The cavalry of the three clans braved the rain of arrows and frantically advanced, and from time to time some people fell off their horses, but many more rushed forward.

While charging, the cavalry of the three clans released arrows on their horses, shooting at the shields of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, which was clanging.

With the continuous charge, finally the cavalry of the three clans came to the periphery of the temporary military camp and rushed towards the barracks. But they were greeted by spears that stuck some of the cavalry under their horses.

"Cavalry, charge with me."

Di Qing, who was on the war horse, shouted loudly and quickly killed with 10,000 Song horsemen.

The direction that Di Qing rushed in was the place where the Mongolian cavalry had attacked.

They didn't expect that Song Cai, who seemed to be able to only defend, dared to counterattack, and without checking for a while, he was killed by Di Qing with men and horses, and followed a famous Mengqi to fall off his horse, and the chaotic Mengcai had to retreat after losing nearly a thousand cavalry.

This is the most important drawback of the coalition forces.

No one wants to charge ahead, and no one wants to lose too much. Naturally, as soon as they hit a nail, they want to retreat, and they all have the psychology of picking up cheap.

The Meng cavalry retreated, and the Liao soldiers and the Western Xia army also had to order the soldiers and horses to retreat when they saw this, and the first attack ended without a problem.
