Chapter 63: The battle to the death is for survival Bald Lonely has been sitting by the fire for a long time.
The news of the annihilation of the entire army finally reached his ears.
The person who delivered the news to him was dead, strangled by the bald Ah Gu himself.
He was a scout when Big Rock City was on fire, and he did not stay in the city, but ambushed with his companions on the back hill of Big Rock City, guarding the mountain path behind the army for the army.
Standing tall and looking far away, they saw with their own eyes how the cavalry and crossbowmen in the city panicked after the fire burned.
Seeing countless bright fires explode, the tide of flames engulfed the entire city, and at that moment, the big stone city was like a burning furnace.
The army is finished......
The only thing the scout who came to his senses was to tell the commander of the rear army as soon as possible, the bald Ah Gu, and lead the army back to Western Xia as soon as possible after the cavalry and crossbowmen were killed and wounded, and only in this way could there be a way to live.
The 300-mile road is not long, but it is blocked by heavy troops, and the Hami general Zhang Zhi blocked the road from Dashicheng to Dead Sheep Beach.
In order to pass the news to the bald Ah Gu as soon as possible, the thirty-three scouts scattered and set off, chasing and fighting with the Hami cavalry in the wasteland, hoping that one of the brothers would be able to break through and spread the news.
This dead Western Xia scout, after three days of wrestling with a team of Hami cavalry in the wasteland, finally escaped, exhausted, he never expected that when he conveyed the shocking news to the bald Ah Gu, he was greeted with the crazy blood-red eyes of the bald Ah Gu, and two big hands like iron pincers......
The huge fire couldn't give the bald Ah Gu any warmth, and even if the hair on his forehead was curled up by the flying flames, he still didn't feel anything.
Qu Mi Alai, the bald Ah Gu's most beloved son quietly came to his father's side, and knelt down and said, "Abba, what's wrong?"
” The bald Ah Gu shuddered, came back to his senses suddenly, hugged his scarred son and whispered in his ear: "Leave, son, leave quickly, leave immediately." ” Qumi Alai wanted to break free of his father's embrace, but found that his father hugged him very tightly.
"The beggar is finished, the 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 crossbowmen who followed him are finished, and only one scout has fled back from the more than 30,000 people so far.
The Hami cavalry had already arrived from the back, and at most by tomorrow afternoon they would arrive at the battlefield.
We have already done our best to deal with Li Qiao in front of us, if there is another cavalry behind us, we slow-moving foot soldiers will have no way to survive in the wasteland of Nuoda.
Ah Lai, while there is still time, leave quickly, I will prepare a letter for you asking for help.
Son, remember, when you left, your father was following the orders of the begging generals, and fought a decisive battle with Admiral Hami on Dead Sheep Beach.
You don't know what defeat is coming, and you don't know that you have died in battle, remember, remember. ” "Abba, how is this possible, how could a powerful Western Xia warrior lose to a cowardly Hami man?"
The young Qu Mi Alai did not believe this bad news, and during the day, a thousand-man cavalry under his command had a hard fight with the Hami general Li Qiao, although the Hami people's riding skills were good, they were not enough to defeat 20,000 Western Xia warriors.
"It won't be wrong, son, my father has not received a battle report from Begging Bobo for five days, and the contact between the Chinese army and the partial division is once every three days, which is the largest interval limit.
Two days ago, Abba sent scouts to Big Rock City, but there was no response, and yesterday he sent two teams of scouts, but he didn't expect that the scouts from Big Rock City came back first, you immediately prepare to take all the soldiers away. ” After talking a lot, the bald Ah Gu's mind gradually settled down, the situation is stronger than people, and there is nothing to scruple about, he has commanded the army for many years, these soldiers are brothers and sisters, he can't do anything to escape alone, but he refuses to bury his son in this wasteland.
When he returned to the military tent, he hurriedly wrote a letter of recital, telling the story of the annihilation of the entire army and the predicament he was facing.
There was no excuse in the letter, and it was not hidden that Pang himself was a famous general of Western Xia, and it was impossible not to know what the consequences would be after the foot soldiers who lacked crossbowmen met the cavalry in the Gobi.
If he is given a better terrain, even if it is a mountain bag, he will have the opportunity to continue to hold on to the help, but unfortunately, from the dead sheep beach to the back more than 200 miles, it is all the vast Gobi, not to mention the larger mountain bag, even the larger rocks are difficult to find.
When he stuffed the fold into his son's chest, seeing that his son was still stubborn, the bald Ah Gu smiled and patted his son's cheek and said: "Take away all the livestock, the son who is in the army and the brother who is in the army leave, this is the last thing Abba can do."
Go and prepare, before dawn, Abba is going to attack, if you can capture the mountain bag in front, our father and son may have a day to see each other again, if not, you can take care of your mother, go back to your hometown in Qilian Mountain, and build a dock fort to protect yourself. ” When Qu Mi came to see that his father was leaving, he couldn't help but shout, "Abba!
The bald Ah Gu waved his hand backwards and entered the military tent, and the two elderly soldiers held Qumi Alai hostage, and despite Qumi Alai's struggle and twisting, they threw on a carriage and galloped towards the rear camp.
When the sky was light, the bald Ah Gu came out of the military tent, spewed out a breath of heat, saw a white practice appear, and said to the captain of the pro-soldiers beside him with a smile: "Why didn't you leave?"
” The captain of the pro-soldier bowed and said, "Where can my subordinates go?"
” The bald Ah Gu shook his head helplessly and said: "If you can die one less, you will die one less, to tell you honestly, no matter how long we hold out here, there will be no reinforcements to rescue us." ” The captain of the pro-soldier smiled: "The marshal cursed when he was pulling, saying that those big men didn't give enough cavalry, and they didn't even give backup, and the little one listened to it." ” The bald Ah Gu said with a smile: "It's not that they don't give it, it's that they can't give it, Yang Huaiyu is forcing Hequ in Hehuang, although it's just a small fight, God knows if it will attack in a big way, the Song people have 300,000 troops in Hehuang, and it's us who want to deal with it."
The fact that the prime minister can draw 80,000 people is already a national effort.
Since it was a surprise attack, the benefits were large, and the risks were also great, wasn't the war in the Great Xia Kingdom in the fire all these years?
It's just that I didn't expect that this time it would be planted in the hands of Tie Xinyuan, a guy who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, which is the most unwilling point of the old man.
By the way, how many people did Ah Lai take?
He's not playing tricks?
” The captain of the pro-soldier said with a smile: "Ah Lai was tied up, and there were only more than 4,000 people who left with him, and there were too few of our war horses and pack horses, and there were 100 people who rode on donkeys." ” Bald Ah Gu waved his hand and said: "Let's go, eat a beautiful meal, and then let's work hard, if it can drag on for ten days, Ah Lai and they can return to the sandbank." ” Li Qiao didn't want to fight the bald Ah Gu at all now, but from dawn, the attack of the Western Xia people began.
This attack was different from the tentative attacks of the past, and it was particularly fierce, and as far as the eye could see, in front of the hundred-zhang wide mountain pass, there was a surging crowd.
It is obvious that the entire army of the Tanguts has been pressed.
The gunpowder bullets thrown by the ballistas were like blooming epiphany in front of the surging crowd, and in just an instant, they were overwhelmed by the crowd.
The bolts rained down, and after harvesting a batch of lives, more crowds rushed over.
The shortcomings of Hami's small number were soon exposed, and Li Qiao had to shrink his defensive line, abandon the mountain pack on the left flank, and go all out to hold on to the higher mountain on the right.
In order to prevent the Tanguts from expanding in depth, five thousand Hami cavalry roared from the foot of the mountain, preparing to cut off the left and right connections of the Tanguts.
The war was at a fever pitch from the very beginning.

The commander who had been reprimanded by Li Qiao shouted excitedly, and the three-foot-long war knife slashed left and right, and everywhere the war horse went, flesh and blood flew sideways.
In an instant, he chiseled through the thin battle formation of the Xixia people, he roared, gathered the cavalry scattered in formation, and let the speed of the war horse rise to the limit, the two war knives were locked on the saddle like a sickle, no need to wield, with the speed of the war horse, the long knife killed a bloody path in the Western Xia crowd.
Sideways from a short spear, a heavy chain hammer struck him on the shoulder, and the tiger's head on his shoulder shattered instantly, and with a click, his entire shoulder was shattered by the chain hammer.
He lay limply on the horse's neck, gritted his teeth, took a gunpowder bullet from his cuirass and threw it into the crowd, and with a bang, a small clearing appeared in front of him.
"Rush!"
Before the words fell, the war horse under his crotch fell to the ground with a scream, and a Xixia soldier who was bleeding outwards swung his knife and cut off his horse's legs, and then was hit heavily in the chest by the forward war horse, and his body flew backwards far away, and he lost his breath before he landed.
Seeing that the commander and the war horse smashed into the crater after the explosion of the gunpowder shell, the remaining cavalry did not hesitate, and the horse flew over the crater and continued to move forward, but people were constantly pierced by the short spear, like a bird with broken wings, and fell into the crater with the short spear, and soon, this small crater was filled with corpses.
At the foot of the mountain, a wall of fire rose suddenly, and the Xixia soldiers who had just charged here couldn't hold their foot, and plunged into this wall of fire that was a foot thick, and after staggering through the wall of fire with a miserable scream, they were stabbed through the heart by rows of spears.
The battle on the right was extremely tragic, but the battle on the left seemed to have subsided, the bald Ah Gu climbed up the mountain bag on the left panting, looked at the corpses all over the mountain, sniffled painfully, and let the captain of the pro-soldier stand the handsome flag on the mountain bag, and the Li Qiao battle flag on the peak on the right side of the mountain complemented each other.
