More than a thousand Mongolian troops broke out and galloped past, with four hundred Qingfu horse troops chasing after them.
The wind blew across Yang Ben's stern face.
He did not let the horse he dismounted run at full strength because the horse soldiers behind him could not keep up.
In terms of riding skills, the 400 Qingfu horse army is far inferior to the Mongols.
Meng people often have three horses per person, and sometimes they can even jump directly onto another horse while running.
However, the Qingfu cavalry army could not even shoot arrows on horseback, and often had to dismount and fight on foot during battles.
They can only be regarded as horse infantry that can travel faster and transport more supplies...
Even so, Li Xia still spent a lot of money on these 400 people, who could even raise 3,000 ordinary infantry.
Yang Ben was also anxious about this, but it was useless to be anxious. Training as a cavalry requires a long period of training.
At any other time, they would not have dared to chase more than a thousand Mongolian cavalry with four hundred men, but it was different today.
"Quick! Go west!" Yang Ben suddenly shouted, "Drive them to Huangniu Mountain!"
Song He also saw the terrain ahead and quickly took command.
Ahead is the Qingbai River.
There is a small mountain on the south bank of Qingbai River called "Huangniu Mountain".
Qingfu's cavalry army suddenly accelerated and surrounded the broken Mongolian army on the left, forcing it to Huangniu Mountain.
A long trumpet sound sounded at this moment.
On Huangniu Mountain, two flags of the Song Army suddenly raised high and fluttered in the wind. On one side it was written "Kong, Commander of the Right Army in Front of the Imperial Guard", and on the other side, "Zhi Yi, Deputy Commander of the Front Army in Front of the Imperial Guard".
It's the Yunding garrison.
Kong Xian and Yi Qing took advantage of the confrontation between Niulin and Li Xia to quietly lead their troops down the mountain, waiting to ambush the Mongolian army.
They did not expect that Li Xia could defeat Niulin in one fell swoop, but after fighting with the Mongolian army for many years, they understood that the Mongolian army would distance itself once its attack was unfavorable.
In other words, even if Niulin breaks out and wants to fight a "sure-win" roundabout battle, he is likely to encounter an ambush by the Yunding defenders.
In this battle, Li Xia will defeat him no matter what.
Of course, at this time, the Yunding defenders only need to cooperate with the Qingfu Army to annihilate the defeated Mongolian army.
"Soldiers! Destroy the prisoners!"
Kong Xian raised his sword and shouted loudly: "Recover our homeland, and we will never allow a barbarian to stand in Chengdu again!"
Yi Qing was very direct and shouted: "Kill the prisoners! Come down the mountain and get a wife!"
The Genting garrison is excited.
The sound of killing shook the sky.
The fleeing Mongolian army was shocked, and dozens of horsemen plunged into the trench dug by the Yunding defenders...
"It's done!"
Yang Ben was ecstatic.
He was one of the people who knew Li Xia's plan best, and knew that Li Xia was about to start running Chengdu.
So, whether the defeated Mongolian army can be annihilated depends on how much time can be gained in the future.
This is a critical period of rest and respite.
Although the defeated Mongolian army only had about 1,300 men, once they regained their composure, even if they just harassed the logistics line, they would cause big trouble.
"Hold the river! Don't let a Mongolian Tatar escape across the Qingbai River!"
Yang Ben was cruel and determined not to let go of any defeated troops.
He wanted to prevent the news of Niulin's defeat from spreading.
…
At this moment, all the Song troops were in excitement.
However, there was suddenly a faint sound of thunder in the distance.
Yang Ben was stunned, turned around and looked across the Qingbai River.
Not far away, there is another river called "Mengyang River".
Farther away are low mountains.
A black line appears where the mountain meets the sky, enlarging little by little.
The thunder got louder.
"It's Mengqi!" someone shouted.
Yang Ben gritted his teeth, filled with hatred.
"Fuck, so damn fast."
Song He cursed loudly and shouted: "Quick! Notify General Kong! Mongolian reinforcements have arrived!"
…
Kong Xian has seen it.
He looked far and wide and saw the Mongolian reinforcements approaching from the north, at least tens of thousands of horses.
The Mongolian cavalry often consists of one person and three horses, and thousands of troops can also rush into huge formations to seize the lead.
Before the soldiers and horses arrived, the momentum of the Song army had been suppressed.
"They haven't crossed the Mengyang River yet." Yi Qing said loudly, "We can annihilate them first..."
"It's too late!" Kong Xian shouted: "Ming Jin! Withdraw the troops!"
Yi Qing was still unwilling to accept it and said: "We have demolished the bridge..."
"Quick!" Kong Xian kicked him hard on the leg and shouted: "Don't bother me! Hurry up!"
Fortunately he was decisive enough.
On the north bank, the Mongolian reinforcements began to swim across the Mengyang River without hesitation.
Even Meng Qi, who had crossed the river, ran straight towards this side without waiting for his comrades behind him, and shot an arrow on the grass on the north bank of the Qingbai River.
"Walk!"
Amidst the sound of gold, the Song army did not dare to fight with the Mongolian army again and ran towards Chengdu like a flowing stream.
"Cover the Genting Army!"
Yang Ben shouted and shot an arrow from his horse.
He didn't care whether the shot was successful or not, so he turned his horse and led the Yunding defenders to cut off the rear.
The Song army had less than 2,500 men in total; but once the two Mongolian armies joined together, there would be 6,000 men.
No matter how cruel Yang Ben was, he would not dare to fight such a battle.
…
Yi Qing was a little unwilling at first.
But as all the Mongolian reinforcements came into view, he finally understood that this battle could not continue.
If the more than 1,000 Mongolian troops are defeated and the Song army is delayed, everything will be explained here.
What are you afraid of?
Yi Qing was still organizing the Song army to retreat. More than 300 Mongolian troops had broken down and turned around to kill the generals in his direction.
"You, General Kong, go away!"
After Yi Qing roared, he ordered his men to stop retreating and stop these Mongolian riders.
Only in this way can Kong Xian organize an orderly retreat.
Otherwise, once they are held back, the retreat will turn into a rout by the time the Mongolian reinforcements cross the Qingbai River.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Arrows rained down.
The screams continued.
Seeing that the Mongolian reinforcements were already swimming across the river, Yi Qing was extremely anxious and rushed to the front line in person.
"boom!"
At this moment, Qingfu's horse army caught up and threw the few remaining porcelain caltrops fireballs at the defeated Mongolian army.
The Mongolian army was defeated and finally did not dare to pursue anymore.
Yang rushed to Yi Qing and shouted: "Go quickly!"
He turned his horse and went to join Song He again to help other Song troops.
Yi Qing took a breath, waved his hand, and after a while he shouted to his soldiers and horses: "You... run with Yang..."
"General, are you injured?"
"No." Yi Qing fell to the ground before he finished speaking.
…
There are formations of horseshoes, and the Mongolian generals have led their soldiers and horses across the Qingbai River and are galloping this way.
Yi Qing was being helped up by two soldiers when suddenly an arrow shot through one of his soldiers.
Yi Qing fell down again, pushed another soldier hard, and shouted: "Let's go!"
"I'll help the general go..."
Several more arrows were fired, piercing the soldier's throat.
General Meng was obviously very skilled in archery. When he saw Yi Qing's armor, he knew that he was a general of the Song army and wanted to capture him alive.
Yi Qing fell to the ground and could not get up.
He looked up and saw that Pifeng in front had turned around and was about to run back to help him.
"Don't come here! Get out!"
"General!" Pifon kept walking.
Yi Qing looked back and saw that General Meng's horse was moving at a frightening speed.
He did not hesitate to put the knife to his neck.
"Pifon, if you can find a wife, believe me... I will never surrender!"
"puff!"
Blood spurted out from Yi Qing's neck.
Pifon cried sadly, turned around and ran away.
Behind him, the sound of General Meng's horse hoofs was still ringing, and Xu Sou stopped again. Apparently he was too lazy to pay attention to this little soldier and leaned over to cut off Yi Qing's head.
Pifon wanted to turn back, but couldn't bear to look back, so he had to run as fast as he could.
Soon, General Nameng gathered his soldiers and horses before catching up again.
…
Pifon was out of breath from running, and had only one thought in his mind.
Want to stop and rest.
It would be better to die than to be affected and afraid like this.
Suddenly, the sound of drums came from ahead.
"Dong, dong..."
It seemed to be motivating him.
Pifeng held on and ran dozens of steps more.
Finally, he saw rows of Song army formations ahead.
The armor reflected the setting sun, glowing golden and majestic, which shocked Pifon.
He forgot all his fatigue and continued to run forward.
Arrows fell behind him, killing those Song soldiers who couldn't run.
But the sound of the Mongolian army's horse hooves gradually slowed down.
…
"Run to both sides! Form a team!"
Listening to the roar of the Song generals, Pifeng rushed towards the two wings of the Song army.
Looking around, the Song army's array could not see the end.
…
Li Xia has led most of the Song army to come here to meet the Yunding defenders.
The Song army lined up and stood ready.
He is still very calm.
In Li Xia's life, the first general he fought against was Wu Liang He Tai.
What he learned from Wu Liang Hetai was that...if you win a battle, you must not be proud, as you may lose your life at any time.
Therefore, he carefully arranged every link after the war and was well prepared for the arrival of Mongolian reinforcements.
Although he didn't expect it to come so soon, Li Xia was not afraid.
He opened his mouth and ordered: "Raise Nulin's head!"
"Must win!"
"Must win!"
Song Jun roared wildly.
Amidst the sound of war drums "dong dong dong dong", a head was slowly raised on a long pole...
Liu Heima tightened the reins.
He stared for a while and shouted: "Stop the march and let Niulin's people come to see me."
Soon a Mongolian soldier fell down in front of him and cried loudly.
"Marshal Du died in battle!"
Liu Heima didn't say anything more and ordered: "Retract the troops and camp at Zhanlong Mountain to the east."
He is a man who has experienced battles for a long time. He will never travel thousands of miles and fight a fierce battle with a large Song army when his foothold is not stable.
…
In the setting sun, the military formations of both sides faced each other and slowly retreated.
The Mongolian army withdrew into Zhanlong Mountain, and the Song army withdrew into Chengdu City.
That night, a Song flag was planted on the top of the city of Chengdu.
Li Xia walked up to a section of the collapsed city wall.
This is the place where Pu Fu was buried.
Pu Zhezhi evacuated Chengdu before he could collect his son's body, and Niulin was unwilling to repair this section of the city wall.
But when Li Xia came back this time, he planned to remove the remaining stones, bury the bones inside, and create long-term peace and stability in Chengdu...
Unfortunately, the Mongolian reinforcements arrived too quickly, disrupting the rhythm he had expected.
Presumably Brother Meng was almost at Diaoyu City, and he didn't even have time to rest. This made him a little annoyed, and he wanted to kill the commander of the Mongolian reinforcements with a sword.
But after Li Xia stood in the night for a long time, he still forced himself to calm down.
