Chapter 500 Anti-encirclement

It turned out that not all the Mongolian cavalry had rushed in. It was only a part of the Mongolian cavalry that entered the official road at the beginning, and the other part of the cavalry had already detoured on the right-wing hillside and faced the Xixia army on the right-wing hillside as agreed in advance. Attack.As for why Temujin made such an arrangement, in fact, there is really no basis for it, it is just the experience of fighting all the year round, or talent.

Being a soldier and fighting is something that pays attention to talent sometimes, and some people are born generals, just like Temujin, including Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty at that time, who also had a talent for fighting.

But at this time Li Dingtian didn't realize this, he was still secretly complacent here, after all he still felt great about his way of sacrificing one's life and becoming a benevolent.

But this great emotion didn't last long, when he suddenly heard the sound of killing from behind him.

"what happened?"

Li Dingtian frowned and asked.

A messenger hurried over and said to Li Dingtian:
"It's not good, general, a Mongolian cavalry came from behind, and our people... can't stand it anymore."

"what?"

Li Dingtian brought the messenger over, squinted his eyes, and said in a cold voice:

"Impossible! How could the Mongolian army come around behind us?"

The scout was frightened by Li Dingtian's appearance, he stammered and said:
"Maybe it's the Mongolian Heavenly Army?"

Because Temujin's iron cavalry appeared and disappeared several times, a saying soon appeared in the army of the Xixia Kingdom, that is, Mongolian iron cavalry, there are always magic soldiers, which can fall from the sky, and then kill the enemy.

Now that the Mongolian cavalry has appeared so abruptly, it is no wonder that all the Xixia troops now think that the Mongolian cavalry is now an iron army.

To be honest, even Li Dingtian has this illusion. After all, he has been staring at this side all the time, and he has never noticed the Mongolian cavalry passing in front of him. Why did he suddenly appear behind him?

However, even though Li Dingtian had such thoughts in his heart, he was the commander-in-chief of the first army after all, and he must not show it, otherwise the army's morale would be in chaos.

"Don't confuse the crowd here with evil words, the Mongol must have come from the flank to our back."

Li Dingtian gritted his teeth and said:
"How many people came from the other party?"

"It's so dark that there are tens of thousands of people."

said the orderly.

In fact, regarding the number of people, to be honest, the naked eye can't see how many people there are, only a rough idea. After all, if there are so many people, it is unrealistic to count them one by one.

"impossible!"

Li Dingtian said coldly:
"Bold, you dare to lie about the military situation and disturb my army's morale. I think you are looking for death!"

Li Dingtian was really angry.

The scout had a mournful face, and said with some grievances:
"General, everything this subordinate said is true. If there is even half a sentence that is false, I am willing to be dealt with by military law."

Li Shuntian sneered at this time and said:

"There are only more than 1 of them in total. Now there are 1 people below. How could there be another 1 people?"

"Subordinates, subordinates don't...don't know!"

The messenger stammered.

Li Dingtian let him go, this question is really difficult for the messenger to ask.

"General, retreat!"

At this moment, Baode took a step forward and said to Li Dingtian.

"Retreat, how can we retreat at this time!"

Li Dingtian gritted his teeth and said.

"General, originally we were in the dark and the enemy was in the open, so we could launch a sneak attack, but now the situation is reversed. We are in the open, and the enemy is in the dark. We don't even know how many people there are in the Mongolian army. If we continue , I’m afraid it’s not good for our army!”

Baode said to Li Dingtian.

Indeed, 1 people suddenly appeared in the Mongolian army, which is incredible.

Li Dingtian was still a little hesitant, not because he didn't want to retreat, but he was really unwilling to retreat now. "Moreover, all our cavalry has been wiped out by the Mongolian cavalry. For our army, the chances of winning are really slim!"

Boyd continued.

Li Dingtian took a deep breath, although he didn't want to admit this fact, but in fact it was such a situation.

"General, if you don't retreat, it will be too late!"

At this time, the deputy general next to him also persuaded.

What the lieutenant general said made sense. After all, if the Mongolian army also came from behind at that time, it would become a front and rear attack.

In this case, it would definitely be a disaster for the Xixia army.

There is no way, the sound of shouting and killing came from a distance, telling the tragedy of this war. From the very beginning, this war was a one-sided situation. On the side of the Xixia army, there were some Taiping soldiers with limited combat power, while the Mongolian army Over there is the army of tigers and wolves. They are not afraid of death. If the Xixia army wants to fight them, they are not opponents at all.

"All troops retreat!"

Although he didn't want to make such a decision, but at this time, he had to make such a decision, Li Dingtian gritted his teeth and said.When the army is defeated like a mountain, it is relatively easy to retreat when the situation is favorable, but if it is a time of defeat, even if you want to retreat at this time, it is somewhat difficult at this time.

After all, the opponent is cavalry, and the Xixia army is already full of infantry. How can the two-legged ones outrun the four-legged ones?

Moreover, at this time, Xixia's army was still in ambush on both sides of the official road, and their retreat became inconsistent. This ambush battle was a complete failure.

The Mongolian army is really too powerful. When they fought, they were completely desperate.

But the Xixia army here is just the opposite. Li Dingtian ran away, and the soldiers below had no chance of fighting. They all ran away in the direction of Xingqing Mansion, hating their parents for not having more lives. I have two legs, and I am running slowly at this time.

This is the case when fighting. If you don't know how to fight, when you face failure, the retreating army may often become an escape.

Especially the army led by Li Dingtian, because the army was ambushing on both sides of the team at that time, in order to attack the Mongolian army, but now retreating, Li Shuntian's side can indeed retreat smoothly, but the Xixia army on the other side , but because there is no one to sit in command, it is directly messed up.

Temujin took advantage of the victory and pursued, directly annihilating more than 1 Xixia troops and capturing more than [-] soldiers. No more than [-] Xixia soldiers escaped by chance.
