At Qingdao Fort, the Eastern Route Army led by Yue Chicher received the same "warm hospitality" as the Western Route Army. The battleships that were speeding along the water www.biquge.info the open sea, smashing a dozen shells into the middle of the Northern Yuan queue. Before Tsukichichel could react correctly, the outermost half of the 10,000-strong team near the coast had already been wiped out.
Suddenly suffered a catastrophe, and the Northern Yuan soldiers became a pot of porridge. Some grabbed their heads and ran backwards, while others brandished steel knives and raised their bows and rushed into the sea. The Breakers' warships constantly adjusted the angle of their side sides, harvesting lives as fast as they could. In a short time, the water near the shore was stained red with blood. But the Northern Yuan soldiers didn't even see the faces of the enemy.
"Away from the coast, away from the coast!" The veteran Ali Hague has full experience in artillery battles and shouts with a scimitar. In fact, without his orders at all, tens of thousands of Mongol-Han coalition troops rushed to the depths of the land without recovering from the initial panic.
It took more than an hour for Yue Chicher to reorganize his soldiers and horses. To his despair, in addition to the disappearance of more than 6,000 soldiers in the sudden shelling, the 30 heavy guns allocated to him by Kublai Khan were also directly blown into scrap metal by the enemy warships because of their slow movement.
Without heavy artillery, the diamond-shaped defense line at the tip of Qingdao that cut obliquely into the sea from Jiaozhou Bay and was more than five miles long became a moat. The army wanted to jump over this section of the wall, which was not tall but thick enough, but had to use corpses to pile up. And exhausted, they must always be wary of those small auxiliary forts built with their backs to Jiaozhou Bay and facing Qingdao Fort far away.
"According to the general's opinion, don't go to a sneak attack tonight!" The veteran Ali Hague humbly saluted and said. In terms of qualifications, he is much older than Yue Chi Che'er. But at this moment, he is guilty of meritorious service, and the other party is a rising star vigorously promoted by Kublai Khan, so he can only execute the generals when he is twice the age of the other party.
"In the opinion of the old general, let's try again tonight!" Yue Chi Che'er happily accepted Ali Hague's suggestion, then nodded, and told very politely, "The old general doesn't have to be polite, the younger generation needs the old general's guidance at this moment!" ”
Three hours ago, he had a completely different attitude towards Ali Hague. The Mongols looked down on the losers, and for more than a month, they made it impossible for the generals to believe Ali Hague's excuse for failure. So, when Ali Hague advised the army not to be too close to the coastline for the sake of flat terrain, Tsukichi Che'er just chuckled back. Now, in the face of bloody facts, he had to reconsider Ali's experience in The Hague.
The summer night came late, and she stayed up until three o'clock with anxiety, and Tsukichi Che'er finally waited for the best time to attack as Ali Hague said. The land was pitch black, and the sea, which was fearful during the day, was so calm that only the sound of the waves remained because of the night.
A 10,000-strong team of Han troops, led by the Yuan general Zhao Rong, quietly approached Qingdao Fort. The defenders inside the fort were confident that there was not a single outpost outside the fort, except for the occasional patrolling torches on the walls. Zhao Rong was overjoyed, waved his hand, and ordered his subordinates to speed up their advance.
A barbed wire fence silently lay in front of the team. There are still more than 200 steps away from the fortress, and the city wall of Qingdao Fort is within reach after crossing these barbed wire fences and crossing a few trenches that are not wide.
But these thin iron wires with iron hooks were arranged so obnossarily and criss-crossed that no matter how thin the soldiers were, it was impossible for them to crawl between them unscathed. Once they are pricked by thistles, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced in the subsequent strong attack.
"Cut him off!" Zhao Rong gave the order without hesitation.
The two strong men picked up the giant axes and slashed them fiercely on the iron wire.
"Batch Europe!" The tooth-sore voice came from afar. The iron wire fell sharply downward, and immediately bounced back high, not injured by the sharp axe at all.
"General, you can't cut it in the air, you have to use scissors to deal with the iron rope!" A soldier who had worked as a blacksmith ran over to warn. It takes half a year for ordinary blacksmiths to build an iron wire of such a uniform thickness, and I really don't know how many craftsmen in the army can make so many iron ropes.
Without waiting for Zhao Rong to change the order, "whoa", "whoa", along the end of the barbed wire, in the distance, there was a crisp ringtone. Immediately after, thousands of meteors suddenly appeared in the sky, dragging their long tails straight down.
"Retreat!" Zhao Rong immediately made a decision and ordered loudly.
How could more than 10,000 soldiers and horses have such a fast reaction speed, and in an instant, thousands of rockets fell to the ground. The soldiers and horses of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who came to attack at night immediately showed their figures, and raised their swords and guns in a panic to prepare for the battle.
The sound of bowstrings, crossbow arrows breaking through the air, and musket firing all over the place. In the trench not far in front of the Yuan army, countless soldiers of the Broken Army leaned out and poured bullets and feathered arrows at the Yuan army.
The Northern Yuan soldiers crowded each other, pushing and shoving, holding their heads and running around. If they can't sneak attack others, they have completely become a live target for others. The oiled rocket burned less than half a pillar of incense, but at the moment, the time of this half pillar of incense was as long as hundreds of years.
When the last flame dissolved into the darkness, the Yuan army, which had retreated two miles away, could no longer muster the slightest courage to attack. In an unsuccessful night attack, more than 2,000 brothers were killed by arrows (guns), and hundreds more were trampled to death by their own robes.
Seeing this scene, Tsukichi Cher, who led the main force to follow behind the striker, did not hesitate to announce the end of the night attack. Ali Hague was right that the way of war has changed. As a responsible general, until she became familiar with the new way of fighting, Tsukichi Che'er was reluctant to let her loyal soldiers die for the sake of their own face.
At dawn, news of the setback of the attacks of the eastern and western armies reached Kublai Khan's Golden Horde. After listening to Li Feng and Yue Chi Che'er's report on the guilt, Kublai Khan did not speak for a long time. Three consecutive defeats in one day did not make the old Khan lose his mind even more, on the contrary, the anger in his heart aroused by Chen Hangyan was calmed by the frustration.
'The way of war has changed', Kublai Khan suddenly came to this conclusion after examining the competition between the Great Yuan and the Remnant Song Metropolitan Governorate for nearly seven years. Almost as soon as Wen Tianxiang rose to prominence, Da Yuan sent superior soldiers and horses and generals much more outstanding than him to extinguish him. However, Da Yuan could only occupy an advantage at the beginning of the battle every time, and as time passed, the superior forces and outstanding generals brought back defeats without exception.
Page is like this, Suo Du is like this, Zhang Hongfan, Da Chun is also like this, and even himself, the heavenly khan, has to be suffocated under the hands of a bandit. The only one who maintained an undefeated and undefeated situation was Prime Minister Boyan, but he was the best general of the Great Yuan and led the elite of the entire Yuan Empire. And his opponent was a little-known chick who was defeated by Li Heng thousands of years ago. In just a few years, the Mongolian warriors who had swept through the Western Regions and swept the south of the Yangtze River had unknowingly weakened, weakened to the point of being defeated with superior forces.
"Could it be that I am really old, or is the Immortal Heaven no longer caring for me!" Kublai Khan asked himself with his hands on his chest. The feeling of heaviness in his heart made him feel a little breathless. Changshengtian may have really fallen asleep, a voice told him. Haidu rebelled, Naiyan rebelled, and these brothers of the same clan always made him unable to concentrate his strength at the critical moment of destroying the Song Dynasty. This time, he finally gathered all his forces, and news came from the west that the party members were plotting to restore the country. In Hedong and Hexi, those heroes who formed a village to defend themselves moved stupidly. The thieves who robbed houses and houses also stole the courage to start the idea of Dayuan's military rations.
"It can't be!" Kublai Khan shook his head and said in a low voice.
"It can't be!" He shouted hard. He is the king of kings in the immortal world, the lord of mountains and rivers, and the master of all. No one can stop him from dominating the world, and no one knows the changes in the world better than him.
"The last general is incompetent, tired of His Majesty's humiliation, please punish Your Majesty!" Kneeling on the ground, Yuechi Che'er was frightened by the look on Kublai Khan's face. After being a coward by Kublai Khan's side for so many years, for the first time in his life, he saw such a desperate look on the other party's face.
It was the despair of an old man in his twilight years for life and the whole world, and when he swept Liaodong, Yuechi Che'er had seen this look on the face of the old herdsman who had been robbed of his cattle and sheep by the army and plundered the tent more than once. And now, among the prisoners and people who accompanied the army, there were still tens of thousands of Nayan rebels who had been captured by the army from Liaodong, with the same look of despair on their faces.
"What sin are you?" Kublai Khan's mind was instantly pulled back to reality by Yuechi Che'er. Looking at his henchman who was kneeling on the ground and sincerely frightened, he smiled tiredly and comforted: "Get up, you handled the battle of yesterday very well." Even at your age, I can't do it without being defeated. Go back and order someone to withdraw the soldiers and horses under his command to Jiaoxian, let's hold the troops first! ”
"Yes, the last general Xie Da Khan!" Yue Chi Che'er kowtowed heavily and said.
"You also get up, the fallen soldiers and horses, I allow you to transfer the people to make up for it!" Kublai Khan looked at the Han general Li Feng who was kneeling on the ground, and the tone of the command was unprecedentedly relaxed.
"The last general, the last general Xie Dahan Hongen!" Li Feng sweated. Losing a battle without being punished, not even a word of reprimand, was the first time under Kublai Khan.
"You are all my arms!" Kublai Khan smiled and said to the stunned ministers under the tent. "No matter what nationality or tribe, I regard you as brothers and nephews! As long as you are here, no matter who rebels, no matter how strong the rebels are, I don't care! ”
"Something is wrong with the Great Khan!" Tsukichi Cheer, who had returned to the ranks of military generals, thought in surprise.
"The Great Khan is the Great Khan, no matter what happens, it will not make him feel depressed!" Sang Ge, who was in charge of the army's grain and grass and the country's finance and taxation, had admiration written on his face. He had just received a report last night that several lines of military rations had been looted at the same time, and that only half of the food that would arrive on schedule this month was expected. In the case of the attack being blocked and the food and grass are scarce, there is still the heart to talk to the soldiers, and this determination will not be possessed by anyone except Kublai Khan.
"From today, there will be a five-day truce, and the three armies will be gathered in one place. Five days later, I personally led you in an attack on Guantao Fort. Chen Thief wants to drag me here, so I let him see my blade! Kublai Khan stood up and said loudly.
"Your Majesty!" The generals were taken aback. Listening to Kublai Khan's words just now, everyone thought that he would order to abandon Jiaozhou Bay and turn south. Who expected the difficulty of the battle, but it inspired the Great Khan's competitive spirit.
"Resolute has been decided, this order will never be changed!" Kublai Khan straightened up his sturdy body and said loudly. At this moment, he deeply appreciated the beauty of the word "lonely home", the Mongolian rebellion, the Han rebellion, and the party rebellion. In addition to hundreds of thousands of troops, he is indeed a loner.
At this moment, the best choice may be to withdraw the army, but after the withdrawal, there may be no chance to sweep Jiangnan. Kublai Khan smiled, his face becoming more and more desolate.
His eyes swept over the generals, and he ordered sharply: "From tomorrow, the sword will be issued to the people and the prisoners." When attacking the thieves, let them act as strikers. The Mongol army followed, and I followed the Mongol army and the Han army. There are those who retreat, and there is no mercy! ”
"Yes!" The crowd responded. There is a lack of food in the army, and they can't afford to support the people and prisoners, so it is better to consume them first. If the thief shoots at the people, he will be infamous for a thousand years. Once the thieves relented and cleared the barbed wire and trenches on the road, the soldiers could directly put the ladder on the city wall.
"They are His Majesty's people!" Li Guida heard his heart crying. Kublai Khan was eloquent and meritocracy. Kublai Khan was wise and resolute. Of all the emperors and ministers he had ever met, none were as perfect as Kublai Khan. But Kublai Khan was only an emperor, an emperor who could destroy the whole world for the sake of his own world.
"Just an emperor!" Li Guida suddenly remembered Wen Tianxiang's rebellious words when he mentioned Tang Zong and Song Ancestors when he was in Baizhangling. That contemptuous look, his proud posture, is still engraved in his heart.
Five days later, at dawn, the soldiers of the Broken Soldiers guarding the castle saw a strange scene. Tens of thousands of ragged and stiff-armed people, carrying improvised weapons, marched towards them in a procession. After a group of people became strong, Kublai Khan's wool was swept up with the sea breeze.
"Hurry up and report to the general!" The soldiers defending the city were stunned. I had heard that Kublai Khan was cruel, but I didn't expect that he would drive his own people to attack the enemy's defense line. Those people are the people who have been obedient to him for many years, and they are the people of Dayuan.
"Don't fire, don't fire, the general will come up right away!" In the trench outside the city, the junior non-commissioned officer of the Broken Capture Army shouted loudly and pressed down the raised muskets. The enemy's advance was fast, and the civilians who were at the forefront were already within range of the muskets and tiger guns.
When General Li Xing, the pacification envoy of Liangzhejiang, heard the news and ran to the city, the people were already close to the barbed wire. A few men who were relatively strong and could not see their age clearly raised the knives they had just been issued and slashed at the barbed wire with all their might.
"Tuk!" "Tuk! "Tuk!" Under the steel knife, the tough barbed wire made an anxious tremor, and finally could not bear the weight of this weight, and collapsed into two parts. The "meat shields" who took the lead for the Yuan army took a moment, but they didn't expect that they would still be alive, and they didn't understand why the defenders didn't release arrows at them. Push through the stakes that bind the barbed wire fence and continue along the gap.
"Fire!" Li Xing ordered loudly.
"General!" Several gunners shouted blankly. There were more than 30,000 people on the front foot of the barbed wire, and they were not soldiers, and they did not even rank in the most basic battle formations. One shelling was enough to kill more than half of them.
The people of all ethnic groups who had crossed the first barbed wire fence continued forward, crossing the trench and walking towards the second barbed wire. The deer barricades and wooden stakes along the way were pushed away by them without hesitation. Behind them were the sharp blades of the Mongol warriors, and at this time they had only one choice, forward, forward, and on.
"Fire!" Li Xing ordered loudly, reached out and grabbed a fire gun, aiming it at the chest of the people closest to him. "If General Chen is here, he will give the same order!" He whispered, his fingers trembling and pulling the trigger.
The flint spun rapidly, sending out a string of mournful sparks. The fire flickered at the muzzle of the gun, and two hundred paces away, an old man who was raising a knife to slash at the barbed wire shook his body, looked at the bullet hole in his Mongolian robe, his face showed a few detached colors, and he fell on his back to the sky.
"Boom!" The tiger squat cannon at the front finally let out a roar, and the dense crowd was rushed out of countless bloody holes. Beside the bloody mouth, panicked people rushed in all directions, some rushed to the wings, some turned back, and some continued to move forward indifferently.
"Shoot!" The commander of the battle, Yue Chi Che'er, did not hesitate to order. The archers drew their bows and shot the fleeing people to the ground. Seeing that there was no way out, the people once again flocked to the position of the Broken Army.
"Fire!" Li Xing ordered loudly. Dozens of artillery pieces roared at the same time, and some of them smashed into the people who stormed the barracks. Part of it smashed into the Yuan army that forced the people to attack the city.
"Fire!" Li Guida's face was hideous, and he pulled the heavy artillery rope with his own hands. The guns were pointed at the trench outside the fortress, where the breakers were dealing with the onslaught of the civilians, unable and unable to dodge the shells falling from the sky. As for whether the shells that lost their accuracy would kill their own people, Li Guida no longer thought about it. Kublai Khan was a devil, and a few years ago he was on the devil's ship. Once this choice is made, there is never going back!
At the same time, on both flanks of Guantao Fort, several small fortresses that echoed the main fort were attacked by the Yuan army. Under the persecution of the Northern Yuan soldiers, the people rushed to the defense line of the broken army like a tide.
The artillery fire fired by the enemy and us burned red for a long time, and the blood shed by the people and soldiers stained half the sea. The summer sun couldn't bear to watch the tragic scene in this world, and hid behind the clouds, refusing to poke his head out.
The flames of anger burned the dark clouds in the sky as red as blood, and under the flame-like clouds, the red sea hunted and burned.
