After the Zhangdun army entered the city, the first thing was naturally to clean up the battlefield, and now the entire Qi County is full of corpses, the Xia army lost nearly 40,000 people in this battle, but the loss of the Song army was not small nearly 10,000 people, but such a result was already very good for the Song army, and the example of one to four was never seen in the history of the Song army and the Xia army.
At this time, it was already dark, some of the Song army cleaned the battlefield, and some of them buried the pot to cook, because of the victory over the Xia army, the Song army's vigilance was relatively relaxed; The remnants of the army led by Li De, the king of Liang, who had fled from the southern city, turned around and returned after fleeing more than ten miles to the west, and Li De had prepared a big gift for the Song army in the city.
"Lord Wang, the number of people has been counted, and there are still more than 8,000 people, and some people have already run away in the night."
The captain of the pro-soldier reported to Li Deyu.
Li De nodded and said: "Those who should go are gone, and the rest are some soldiers who are willing to follow this king, today they will not live up to this king, and the king of Japan will not disappoint them; The herald army was divided into four teams, each with 2,000 men going to the east, west, north and south directions of Qi County, and after an hour, they would fire rockets into the city together. ” "Yes, the lowly will go and give the order" On the other hand, Xu He, who led 5,000 elite cavalry to the Xia army camp west of Qi County, immediately accepted all the soldiers and horses in the camp after arriving here, including 35,000 elite cavalry, 50,000 new army soldiers and 250,000 people, which was all the strength in Li De's hands and the main force of the Xia army in Huaibei.
After Xu He came to the camp, he opened the secret letter that Li De handed over to him, and Li De wrote in the secret letter: "This king built a water-holding embankment with a cloth bag by the Lianshui River south of the camp, and after seeing the fire in the east, the embankment was demolished, and you led all the soldiers and horses in the camp to chase down the river, and this king will join you in Qi County."
When Xu He saw this letter, he was stupid on the spot, and Xu He finally understood why Li De let himself retreat again and again; If the rabble under Li De is definitely not the opponent of the Song army under Zhang Dun, and it will also become the whetstone for the Song army's training, the Xia army will relax its vigilance as soon as it retreats and retreats, and then win by surprise, so that it can not only kill a large number of the Song army's vital forces, but also reduce the unnecessary losses of the Xia army, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"Someone."
Xu He ordered; "Command all the troops to be assembled."
Xu He ordered the 330,000 horses outside the city to begin to assemble, after the army was assembled in the open space west of the camp, Xu He began to wait for Li De's signal, after waiting for more than half an hour, Xu He finally waited for the result he wanted, and Qi County, dozens of miles away to the west, was on fire, and a raging fire was ignited in an instant; At this time, the Song army in the city was in chaos, and the entire Qi County became a hell of fire.
"Dashuai, it's not good, the Xia army suddenly shot a large number of rockets into the city, and there were fires everywhere, we were fooled."
A Song general ran to Zhang's side and said.
To say that Zhang Dian is a handful of old and is still frightened by this, Zhang Dian ordered in a little panic: "Order the army to withdraw from the four gates and assemble in the camp outside the east gate. ” "Yes, Boss" In fact, without Zhang Dan's order, the Song army has already begun to flee from the four gates, and the escape is extremely embarrassing, everything that can be thrown is thrown, knowing that it is good to wear armor and hold weapons to come out, the first to escape are the soldiers and horses close to the city gate, some people in the city have no time to evacuate, and Zhang Dan is in the center of the city, if it is not for the desperate protection of the generals, the old man has to be burned to death by the fire.
"Newspaper, newspaper, newspaper" A flying horse came to the location of the remnants of the Xia army in the north of the city and reported to Li Deyu: "Lord Yu, the Song army began to evacuate in a panic. ” "Herald Drumming" "The prince has an order to beat the drum" The war drums of "knock, knock, knock" sounded in the dark night, not only in the north but also in the east and west of the city, the Song army, which had already been frightened, was simply the rhythm of wanting to die when they heard the war drums, and the soldiers of the Song army instinctively judged that the Xia army had ambushes on the north and east sides of Qi County.
"What should we do now, big boss?"
asked the generals who had already left the city from the south gate to Zhang Dun, who was protected in the center.
Zhang Dian was already too frightened to think about it at this time, and instinctively issued a military order: "Let the army withdraw to the south, look for the shoals and wade across the river, as long as we cross the water, we will be safe." ” In fact, it doesn't matter if there is this military order for the chaotic Song army, because there are already Song army soldiers who have begun to wade and flee south, and now it is the end of autumn, the river is cold and biting, although the water is not very wide, but after wading through the river, there is basically half a life left, but despite this, it is better than no life When the Song army waded across the river, the Xia army in the upper reaches of the river opened the barrage, although it is now the dry period, but the river flow that has been accumulated for several days is still very large, as soon as the embankment is opened, the river water will roll down like a flood beast and swallow everything that passes, because the potential energy of the flood is too great, it even washed away a part of the embankment on both banks, so that the water floods all around.
This time the Song soldiers who were wading across the river were miserable, they had just been burned by the fire, and now they encountered floods, many Song soldiers were directly washed away by the flood, and after the war, the entire downstream of the river was full of the loss of the Song army's soldiers, of course, this is a later story; Although it was flooded for a while, the Xia army did not intend to let go of the Song army, and Xu He led 330,000 horses and began to chase and kill the Song army along the river.
In the north of Qi County, Xu He and Li De, the king of Liang, successfully joined forces, and Li De took over the command of the army; After Xu He dismounted, he knelt down on one knee and said to Li De: "The last general, Xu He, will pay a visit to the prince." ” "Xu He obeyed the order, led 35,000 elite cavalry to chase and kill the Song army along the way, and killed the king all the way to the west of the ancient town, and killed the Song army."
Li De gave a military order with a cold face; "If we don't kill them all today, the Song army will definitely die if we take revenge in the future."
"Yes, the last general will obey the orders of the prince" Xu He immediately led the army after receiving the military order, the Xia army elite cavalry waved the army eastward to pursue and kill the Song army, followed by the Xia army elite cavalry is a support army composed of 50,000 new troops and 100,000 people, after all, the cavalry is limited and it is impossible to kill all the Song troops along the way, the role of the cavalry is to destroy the defense line that the Song army may establish along the way, and the real capture and kill of the Song army is the back of the 150,000 horses, although these people can't fight a tough battle, but it is still possible to fight a good battle, and when they see that the Song army is defeated, these people are full of strength to kill the Song army, Except for a small number of people who fled in all directions, most of the Song army were killed by the Xia army, and through this battle, these people under the command of the Xia army have also seen blood.
The whole chase lasted until the evening of the next day, Xu He stopped the pursuit and led the army back to Qi County when he met the Song army in the west town, and the Xia army lost a lot of money in this battle, of course, the losses of the Xia army were not small, but the main loss of the Xia army was the people's support, and Li De didn't care about these people's support at all; And the 35,000 elite cavalry of the Xia army basically did not suffer much loss.
The first more is offered, continue to ask for recommendations:
