Jochi asked his subordinates in disbelief, "Did you hear the sound of water?"

The subordinate turned his head and said, "General, ...... here," and then he was speechless.

Jochi glanced at him, and saw that he was staring behind him and stunned, his face full of fear.

Jochi's heart sank, and he turned his head suddenly, looking at the monstrous blue waves, his pupils suddenly contracted, and after he was stunned, he hissed and shouted: "Retreat." ”

"Boom"

However, it was too late.

The flood was merciless, instantly submerging the 30,000 Mongolian elite horsemen, and the screams of the 30,000 horses were then muffled by the sound of the water.

The water goes to a low place, but whether you are a Mongol or a Western Xia city, it is not mistaken, the water is rushing, and you go to Zhongxing Mansion.

Not far away, on Helan Mountain, at this time, countless people appeared densely popped up, all wearing sharp armor, and a large number of them were holding bows and arrows, carrying two quivers on their backs, and the quivers were full of arrows.

Dai Daojin stood with his hands in his hands, quietly looking at the flooded Mongolian cavalry below, and of course, Zhongxingfu, the capital of Western Xia.

After a while, a soldier came over, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, General Gong, when will the embankment be blocked?"

Dai Daojin said lightly: "You tell him to block it after half an hour." ”

Ning Jitong listened to it next to him, looked at the flooded Zhongxing Mansion, and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, although the Zhongxing Mansion is deep and solid, if it is soaked in heavy water for a long time, it may be in danger of collapsing." ”

"The last general believes that the Yellow River embankment should be blocked immediately to prevent the damage from expanding. ”

Dai Daojin turned his head to look at him, then looked at the flood below, and said lightly: "Can you guarantee that the 30,000 people below will stay here?"

"Your Majesty. Ning Jitong walked out and knelt on one knee, "The last general promised that he would desperately say that all these Mongolian cavalry would stay here, and I implore Your Majesty to immediately order the Yellow River embankment to be blocked." ”

Dai Daojin was slightly silent and waved his hand: "Go and order Gong Hongbo to block the embankment immediately." ”

The herald took the order and departed.

Half an hour later, the flood stopped rushing, but in front of Zhongxing Mansion had become a country, 30,000 Mongolian horsemen died at least 20,000, and the rest of the part was so muddy that it was difficult to even move.

But even so, seeing Ning Ji and the Xixia arrow team slowly advancing, the surviving Mongolian soldiers still bent their bows to counterattack, causing casualties to the Western Xia side, and their tenaciousness and ferocity made Dai Daojin look sideways frequently.

But no matter how fierce it was, it was just stubborn resistance, and in the end, 30,000 Mongolian cavalry all died in front of Zhongxingfu.

Except for Dai Daojin, no one on the Western Xia side thought that they had won, because the Western Xia side had paid the price of nearly 200,000 horses, and Zhongxing Mansion was also flooded, even if the people in the city were notified in advance to evacuate, they still suffered heavy losses.

Dai Daojin knew that after the Mongolian cavalry was wiped out, he didn't pay attention anymore, but just asked Ning Jitong to clean up the battlefield.

His mind was placed in another place, waiting for Zhang Yuanwei's news.

However, while he was waiting for news, a man found him.

Dai Daojin looked at the famous Linggong with a sad and angry face in front of him, listened to his questioning, and was silent.

Wei Ming Linggong knelt on his knees, looked sad, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, those 200,000 sons are all my people of Great Xia, for the sake of only 30,000 Mongolian cavalry, why is it so, why is it so?"

To this day, Wei Mingling Gong still doesn't know that the emperor asked him to take new soldiers to guard Heishui City, which is a conspiracy against the Mongolian army, but he can't understand it, it is nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses, 200,000 Xia Guoerlang, how can Your Majesty bear it, how can you bear it.

Wei Mingling made the old man cry, and in the imperial study, Ning Jitong and Gong Hongbo bowed their heads silently.

Dai Daojin said expressionlessly: "Someone, notify me and let the chief officer of the third division come over to see me." ”

Not long after, an official walked in.

After the salute, Dai Daojin said directly: "Go and count the casualties of the soldiers, people are dead, the orphans and widows left behind must be taken care of, and the soldiers can't be cold, how much pension will be issued to each household, and go back to list a charter for me." ”

The officials of the three divisions naturally knew what the emperor said, so he hesitated and stopped talking.

Dai Daojin frowned and shouted, "If you have something to say, just say it?"

The officials of the three divisions were in charge of the imperial finances and said: "Your Majesty forgives me, in the past few years, the country has had frequent wars, and the money and grain in the treasury ......."

Before he finished speaking, everyone present knew what he meant, and his face became even more sad.

Dai Daojin said coldly: "What's the matter? Is it not enough to even compensate the casualties this time?"

Hearing the anger in the emperor's words, the officials of the third division hurriedly said: "Enough, enough, but after using it, ......" He had to say the second half of the sentence, otherwise the emperor would have to use money again, and it would be difficult to explain if he couldn't get it.

Dai Daojin waved his hand, "Let's do a good job this time first, and I will find a way to do the money and food." ”

The officials of the three divisions took the order and bowed away.

Dai Daojin quietly looked at Wei Ming Linggong and said, "How do you feel about this treatment?"

The matter has come to this, and the famous Linggong lowered his head, "Weichen on behalf of the dead soldiers, thank you Your Majesty." ”

Dai Daojin nodded: "Wei Ming Linggong is quite tired from this battle, so let's go back and rest first." ”

Wechen took his leave. After bowing, he withdrew from the imperial study.

In the imperial study, Dai Daojin stroked his beard and walked around, with a thoughtful expression.

Ning Jitong and Gong Hongbo looked at the emperor walking around and didn't dare to disturb.

After a while, Dai Daojin stopped and asked, "General Ning, how much Mongolian armor has been collected this time?"

Ning Jitong arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, in addition to the damaged ones this time, a total of more than 25,000 pieces of Mongolian armor have been seized, and the last general is planning to send these to the foundry for recasting. ”

Dai Daojin waved his hand, "Leave 10,000 pieces." ”

Although Ning Jitong didn't know what to do with these left, he still said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Dai Daojin beckoned, "You two come here." ”

Ning Jitong and Gong Hongbo stepped forward, leaned over to listen, Dai Daojin leaned over, opened and closed his mouth, and whispered a call.

When the two of them heard the emperor's words, their faces changed drastically and their expressions were shocked.

After the emperor finished speaking, Ning Jitong's face was still shocked, "This ...... This...... Your Majesty, is there something wrong with this? Gong Hongbo also nodded in agreement.

Dai Daojin said coldly: "What's wrong, those people don't produce all day long, accumulate a lot of property, don't think about serving the country, when the country is in danger, I ask them what happened to borrowing some money and food?"

After speaking, he couldn't help but sneer: "You think I don't know what their idea is, hehe, no matter who does this world, they all want to sit firmly in Diaoyutai, thinking about beautiful things, sucking blood on weekdays, when the country uses money and food, the turtle can't shrink, how can it be so simple." ”

Seeing that the two of them were still a little hesitant, Dai Daojin said directly: "Under the nest, there are no eggs, if our Great Xia is destroyed by the Mongols, this money will be cheaper than the Mongols at most, if we can resist the invasion of the Mongols and protect my people in Great Xia, how can the price not be bearable, what do the two Aiqing think?"

In the end, Ning Jitong and Gong Hongbo had to take the order.

Five days later, the news of Dai Daojin and others finally came, looking at the information in his hand, Dai Daojin smiled, Zhang Yuanwei did not disappoint him, gave him 100,000 soldiers and horses, and finally left the 20,000 infantry brought by Jochi in Western Xia completely.

His side lost more than 30,000 people, but these Dai Daojin were indifferent.

Dai Daojin looked out the window, silently thinking in his heart, how to use the power of Western Xia, which consumed Mongolia the most.
