They are not direct descendants of Zhebu. This time they came from Mengdi because they saw something cheap. But now, seeing the defeat approaching, their fighting spirit began to waver. Some people even turned around when they saw that the situation was not right.
He took his tribe's cavalry and began to flee.
"General, we can't wait any longer. We have been fooled by Su Shi. Let's fight out before they completely surround us." Lakshen came to Zhebu and shouted. He had already seen
When some Mongolian cavalry refused to obey orders and retreated, they knew that the situation was not good.
On the chaotic battlefield, it is impossible to offer opinions calmly now. Only yelling is the best way to communicate.
"Yes, fight out, fight out." Zhebu accepted this suggestion. Of course, he also saw some other small tribes retreating.
At this time, his brain was already in chaos, and he would do whatever others said. After all, his time as a general was still too short, and this was the first time he had faced a major defeat, and he was mentally and physically exhausted.
Under the blow, Zhebu lost all his energy.
Under Lakshen's suggestion, Alatan's troops were left to continue to resist the pursuit of the Su army behind them. The main force of 40,000 Mongolian cavalry mixed with small tribes began to rush out toward the northeast, wanting to detour back from the foot of Chenghou Mountain to fight with
The Liao army and the Xixia army reunited.
"It's really a fool's errand to think of returning to the battlefield." Halfway up the mountain, whenever Meng Qi made any movement, it was reported to Su Shi, who shook his head when he heard it.
After preparing a plan for a long time, how could Su Shi allow Meng Qi to stay and pose a threat?
Su Shi was prepared
, had been guarding against this attack. Just when the main force of Zhebu's Mongolian cavalry had just left the mountains and wanted to return to the south, another group of Song cavalry and 20,000 Bazhou civilian troops came from the south.
At this time, all of them were equipped with war horses with the support of Su Shi, and an army of 20,000 people surged in. From a distance, they looked like a majestic force.
"Kill, fight to find a way forward." Zhebu did not give in this time. He did not want to leave Song Dynasty just like this.
In the Song Dynasty, there is still a large Mongolian cavalry camp that is not ready to retreat. There are still two thousand Mongolian cavalry warriors there, and there are countless good things that were looted in the Song Dynasty that have not been transported back.
Forty thousand men on one side and twenty thousand men on the other side, all cavalry, collided in the plain between Xincheng and Chenghou Mountain. The shouts of killing also merged together at this moment.
The 20,000 Bazhou civilian troops were full of fighting spirit. When they saw Meng Qi coming in front of them, they just slashed with their swords. There were no tactics or tactics at all. They just relied on their brute force to launch heavy attacks one after another.
The common people's army basically has no riding skills. They are not so much cavalry as infantry on horseback.
This is because Su Shi owns the system, which makes such waste possible. If it were replaced by someone else leading the army, it would be a luxury for these civilian soldiers to have one weapon in their hands.
They were not real cavalry. When they fought, the Bazhou Army did not have the upper hand. In a short period of time, thousands of civilian soldiers fell off their horses and died on the battlefield.
But this did not shake the morale of the army. This originally ragtag group, stimulated by Su Shi's large amount of food, showed a fighting spirit that far exceeded their own.
die from
On the battlefield, they can also get generous rewards, which is their biggest move to kill the enemy.
Whenever they thought that even if they died in battle, their death would not be in vain, the people would thank Su Shi in their hearts.
It was just a death. I had never thought before that my death could bring so many benefits to my family. Whenever they had such thoughts, death was no longer so terrible in their eyes.
A common people's army that was not afraid of death, even though they had no tactics, their lethality was still astonishing. They often exchanged four for one, or three for one, which made the Mongolian knights who rushed towards them complain incessantly.
"rush!"
Just when the two sides were entangled, 20,000 civilian troops from Xiongzhou also came out from the other side.
"kill!"
Also appearing on the left were the 10,000 reserve imperial troops led by Xu Ba. In comparison, they were more skilled in horseback riding and had the ability to compete with the Meng cavalry.
When another 30,000 Su family army cavalry appeared, and the overall number was no worse than that of Mengqi, or even higher than their 10,000, Zhebu knew what Su Shi meant. He didn't want him to return to Xinzhou.
Next, return to the northern land of Song Dynasty.
"General, let's withdraw. Alatan won't be able to hold us back for long. If we fight with the Su army here, we will probably be attacked from both sides. In that case, we will all be in danger." Lakshen also saw it.
Su Shi's intention was to dissuade Zhebu.
How could Zhebu not know?
But he just wasn't willing to give in.
Although the Su family's army in front of them is large in number, their combat effectiveness is mediocre, at least it doesn't give people the feeling of being invincible.
If there is enough time, just the 40,000 Mongolian cavalry he brought with him
If these 50,000 Song knights fight together, he is absolutely confident that he will be the victor in the end.
The question is, will Su Shi give him so much time?
There are only 5,000 Mongolian Cavalry in Alatan. Even if some Mongolian Cavalry warriors withdraw from the mountains, there won’t be too many people together. So can they stop the charge of the Black Cavalry?
Zhebu saw that the one attacking him at the foot of the mountain was the main black cavalry in Su Shi's hands.
As the first Mongolian to come into contact with the Black Cavalry, Zhebu never doubted the power of the Black Cavalry.
Need to withdraw?
I thought that at this time yesterday, my ambition was still so great. I wanted to first determine the northern border of the Song Dynasty and follow the army into the Central Plains. I heard that Bianliang City, the capital of the Song Dynasty, was very prosperous, and he wanted to go and see it.
But now it seems that all this is just a dream.
"General, if you want to break it, break it. Our main force is still there. As long as we go back to recuperate, we can make a comeback soon. If the whole army is lost here, it will be very difficult to stand up in the future. Besides, the main force is injured, how about going back?
Explain it to the clan leader."
"That's enough." Zhebu said impatiently.
It's not that he doesn't know how to retreat, it's just that he doesn't want to retreat.
It's just that the situation is forcing him to do so. If he doesn't retreat, he may lose all his main force. This is a responsibility that he cannot bear at all.
"retreat."
The words that the patriarch Urige told him when he left flashed through his mind: If we bring the army back without a chance, we Mongolian people can still afford to lose. Zhebu gritted his teeth and made the decision to withdraw the army back to Mengdi.
Half of the 40,000 troops around Zhebu were elite Mongolian troops. If they could bring these warriors back, who could say that they had failed?
As long as you come back safely
Meng Di, with the money he had snatched back from the Liao and Song Dynasties, had the opportunity to recruit troops and expand his strength again. When that time comes, he will definitely come back and fight back.
"Su Shi, I'll let you be proud for a few days."
After saying this in his heart, Zhebu turned his horse around and gave up going south. Instead, he went all the way north and returned to Mengdi.
"The Meng people are trying to run away, catch up with them and kill them." Seeing the Meng cavalry start to fight and retreat, Xu Ba couldn't understand what they were thinking, so he roared and led the army to charge with all their strength, in order to stay as much as possible.
More mengqi and do their part.
At the foot of Chenghou Mountain.
The Black Cavalry, Pioneer Army, Longwu Guards and 25,000 Xinzhou civilian troops rushed out one after another, and the Alatan tribe was retreating steadily.
Three thousand captain Tongter led three thousand Mongolian cavalry and rushed towards the Su family's army, but he was soon submerged in the sea of people, and soon there was no news.
Needless to say, Tontel is probably dead.
Alatan is no longer as energetic as before. At this time, he is sitting on a war horse, looking at the Mongolian cavalry soldiers who have less than 10,000 men.
Many of these people were disgraced. They had all escaped from the fire in the mountains.
They were among the last group of people who rushed into the mountains. Because they were not far away, they had no choice but to escape when the fire began to spread in the mountains.
As for the more than 30,000 Mongolian knights who rushed into the mountains early, no one has rushed out yet, and they are probably in danger.
Alatan didn't understand, how could the battle end in such a good way?
He was thinking, if he didn't take the plunge.
Instead, he is waiting to join the main force. Can the Su family army really do anything to him?
?
With 90,000 Mongolian cavalry against 110,000 Su army, the hope of victory is still high.
But now.
All because of his eagerness to make meritorious deeds, he ruined the good situation.
It was this Su Shi. If he hadn't been on the mountain himself, he wouldn't have been so crazy, and there wouldn't have been such a big defeat.
After the defeat, he became the sinner of the Mongolian army. Even if he was lucky enough to escape back, he was afraid that military law would not tolerate him.
If he can't go back, then let him die in the Song Dynasty. In this way, at least his family in Mengdi will not be affected.
"Everyone listens to the order and follows me to charge and kill until the last person is killed and until the last drop of blood is shed."
"kill!"
Alatan's shout was followed by a chorus of shouts, followed by thousands of horses galloping towards the approaching Su family army. Alatan and his men rushed forward to meet them.
When the Mongolian army was first established, they dared to die but were not afraid of death.
Dare to fight and have strong morale.
This is their advantage. If Su Shi hadn't planned a plan of fire, but chose to collide head-on, it would be really difficult to defeat Meng Qi.
But now, there is no point in saying anything. Victory is victory, there are so many ifs and others.
"kill!"
The Su family's army, which also had high morale, faced the thousands of Mongolian cavalry rushing towards them. They did their best to counteract the enemy with attack and stop the killing with killing. More than 50,000 people from both sides fought together.
On the battlefield, blood is flying everywhere, the sound of swords and swords is clanging continuously, and arrows are flying through the air...
Two full hours later, as it was approaching dusk, Meng Qi was finally no longer visible on the battlefield.
This battle lasted from morning to night, using various tactics including fire, siege, and blocking.
With their cooperation, Meng Qi was defeated.
Of the 90,000 Mongolian cavalry, only more than 30,000 people escaped with Zhebu in the end.
