Li Luo almost laughed when he saw the heavy losses of the Mongol cavalry.

Well done! Chen Rilian's real name is also! When they met, they made Sudieer suffer a big loss.

The arrogant Mongol cavalry suffered seven or eight thousand casualties under the terrifying onslaught of war elephants, the assault of fire oxen, and the rush of the Vietnamese cavalry.

A whole team of 10,000 people, almost scrapped.

And the Khitan Jurchen cavalry, which took the lead, suffered heavy losses, but they only added up to five or six thousand casualties.

At this moment, the huge elephant herd still maintained a considerable speed, rushing towards the Yuan army's infantry army like a flood of monsters, and the first to bear the brunt were the Yue traitor army and the Han army.

"Kill!" Chen Rixian in the Vietnamese army saw the cavalry of the Yuan Army, where did he not know that this was a fleeting opportunity? He didn't have time to think about it at all, so he gave the order for the whole army to attack generally.

The morale of the Vietnamese infantry was also greatly boosted, and more than 100,000 people shouted and marched forward in formation, following the elephant herd, fire oxen, and cavalry in front of them.

At this time, although the cavalry of the 30,000 Yuan Army was defeated, Li Luo still had more than 20,000 cavalry on both flanks.

But it is clear that under the swarm charge of thousands of elephants, the more than 20,000 cavalry are no longer capable of stopping it.

Tremble in the balance!

Chen Rilian's nervous heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Rush up! Rush up! As long as you break the Yuan army's big array, you can win a crushing victory, even if you can't kill Li Luo, Da Yue will have a chance to turn the tables!

In fact, as a good general, Chen Rixian knew very well what it would mean if he couldn't break through the Yuan army's array. That would mean that he would be wiped out. However, he couldn't care about these anymore, he could only gamble, and it was the only chance to gamble.

Hopefully, God bless Dayue!

Although Li Luo was happy in his heart, he was also frightened, and today he began to know the power of the elephant soldiers! If the elephant herd is allowed to break through the big array, not to mention that the Yuan army will definitely be defeated, even he, the general of the southern expedition, is afraid that he will also "die before leaving the army".

Fortunately, he had the arrangement in advance, not without preparation.

Hundreds of tall shield carts, protected between the large formations of the infantry army, were like a city wall, on which were densely packed with spears. In the space between the shield vehicles, there are various firearms, artillery rockets, and canister projectiles.

The terrifying elephant herd rushed to the vicinity, and when they saw the "city wall" composed of tall shield carts, they immediately began to slow down, and their momentum stagnated.

Immediately after, thousands of firearms were fired together.

"Boom! Boom! ”

"Bang bang!"

"Chirp! Tweeted! ”

In front of the large array of the Yuan army, which was more than a mile wide, there were clusters of firelight, accompanied by a huge roar, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled, as if the sky was falling apart. Not to mention the lethality, at least the momentum is amazing.

Elephants are timid and especially afraid of fire and explosions. The bombardment of such a large number of firearms immediately frightened them and stopped and became a mess.

Some hesitated, others ran wildly in both directions. However, because the elephants behind were still rushing, the herds behind the elephants were driving the elephants, the Vietnamese cavalry behind the herds were driving the cattle, and the Vietnamese infantry was driving behind the cavalry, so the whole torrent did not stop advancing.

It's just that the speed is greatly reduced.

Li Luo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the speed of the elephant herd drops greatly, even if he breaks through the big formation, he is not afraid.

Because, he still has a large array of Chinese troops!

That's right, from the direction of the Vietnamese army, the Yuan army's large array is integrated. However, what Li Luo arranged was actually two large arrays isolated from each other. In front of a large array, there were Vietnamese traitor troops and 10,000 Han troops. The large array behind was 20,000 Tusi barbarians and 10,000 Han troops.

"Boom!"

Seeing the herd of elephants rushing in front of him, the firearms in the Yuan army finally roared again.

The elephant herd was even more chaotic, and there was no longer the indomitable momentum it had before, and the speed had become moving forward.

However, under the huge inertia and coercion, the terrifying elephant herd still crashed into the wall of the shield car.

"Click!"

In an instant, hundreds of tall shield carts were smashed into pieces, and at the same time, spears on the shield carts pierced into the elephants' bodies, and in the heart-stopping roar of the elephants, one elephant after another fell down, blocking the way of the herd behind.

However, there were still elephants rushing in without stopping.

At the same time, the front of the Vietnamese traitor army also collapsed.

The tens of thousands of Vietnamese traitor troops exploded with a bang.

Li Luo stood up suddenly, waved the flag, and the Chinese army retreated in great strides, revealing a row of shield carts again. Stopped the onslaught of the defeated army in front.

And the herd of elephants at the end of the crossbow was also stopped by the second row of shield carts. The huge torrent was finally contained.

The infantry of the Yuan army, the elephants of the Vietnamese army, the fire ox, the cavalry, and the infantry behind were huddled together.

The Yuan army's large array only collapsed in half at most.

"Kill!" Chen Rixian shouted, rode a horse with the last thousand cavalry, held a spear, and rushed forward desperately.

Winning or losing is just around the corner, and you can't go back now!

He knows very well that now is the most vulnerable moment for the Yuan army, and it is also the most vulnerable moment for the Vietnamese army. In particular, the cavalry on both flanks of the Yuan army was the most dangerous.

But Chen Rilian's worries still happened.

Li Luo immediately waved the flag again, and the more than 20,000 cavalry who had been waiting for him to wave the flag immediately rushed towards the Vietnamese cavalry who had dropped their speed, and the Vietnamese infantry who were trotting.

At the same time, the remaining Khitan Jurchen cavalry, as well as the Mongol cavalry, also attacked from the rear and from both flanks.

"Kill!"

More than 300,000 people slaughtered together, shouting and killing, screaming, and the neighing of horses and elephants, resounding in the sky.

Li Luo's Chinese army has always been as steady as Mount Tai, standing still, firmly nailed there. The hundreds of guards around him even protected Li Luotuan.

Since the Chinese army did not collapse, the previously defeated Vietnamese traitor army and the Han army did not all flee from the battlefield, but reorganized one after another to resist the Vietnamese army around the Chinese army.

The cavalry of the Yuan army rushed the cavalry of the Vietnamese army and the infantry army.

In fact, because of the elephant herd, the herd of cattle and a large number of cavalry, the army formation was useless at this time, and the battlefield turned into a chaotic battle. It's a mess of porridge.

The only thing that is not chaotic is Li Luo's Chinese army.

The two armies fought together and killed each other. Although the Yuan army had few soldiers, because there were too many rural troops in the Vietnamese army and too many cavalry in the Yuan army, as the Vietnamese army and rural troops continued to flee the battlefield, it did not take long for the Yuan army to begin to gain the upper hand.

"Kill!" Chen Rilian led a thousand personal guards cavalry, desperately expelling the Vietnamese infantry to attack forward, intending to break Li Luo's Chinese army, but unfortunately the number of Vietnamese forbidden troops was too small to rush in no matter what.

"Boom!" At this time, the cavalry of the Yuan army, which was assembled, once again launched a cluster charge against the chaotic Vietnamese infantry army, and I don't know how many Vietnamese troops were killed by the cavalry, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

"Kill!" Chen Rilian's war horse was injured, he simply jumped off his horse and rushed to the Yuan army on foot with his personal guards.

As if returning to the light, the nearby Vietnamese troops, when they saw Chen Rixian charging in person, their eyes were blood-red, and they shouted and followed, gathering to charge with Chen Rilian.

By the time he rushed to the front of the Chinese army, nearly 10,000 people had gathered around Chen Rilian, and there was a steady stream of Vietnamese troops following behind, like a torrent.

The Vietnamese army, which was originally in chaos, was once again twisted into a rope by Chen Rilian.

Under the leadership of Chen Rilian, this Vietnamese army burst out with great courage, and followed the fierce assault like a chicken's blood, braving the dense rain of arrows of the Yuan army, bypassing elephants and buffaloes, climbing shield carts, or stabbing the Yuan army through the shield carts.

"Boom!"

Li Luo's Chinese army front was finally broken by the Vietnamese army who fought to the death, and the Vietnamese army's footsteps rushed into the Chinese army's main array, only dozens of zhang away from Li Luo's big tent.

Li Luo's heart was pounding, and he felt that he had never been in danger today. If it weren't for the fact that the Chinese army had 30,000 elite soldiers, if it weren't for the fact that the general situation of the battlefield was still in his hands, he would definitely have fled with cavalry at this time.

The 30,000 Chinese troops were chaotic but did not collapse, blocking the Vietnamese army from attacking the commander's tent, while the cavalry of the Yuan army gathered again to attack the back of the Vietnamese army's infantry.

Although tens of thousands of Vietnamese troops led by Chen Rixian rushed to the vicinity of Li Luo's big tent, they fell into a situation of being flanked in front and back, and they could not advance or retreat.

All the time, hundreds of soldiers on both sides were killed.

After fighting for half an hour, there were still as many as 70,000 or 80,000 Vietnamese troops, and finally they were completely unable to hold on.

The battlefield within a radius of several miles was full of Yuan cavalry chasing the north, as well as the Vietnamese army and township troops who fled or surrendered.

The Vietnamese cavalry had been completely wiped out, and there were only a few thousand forbidden troops left around Chen Rilian.

"Kill!" Chen Rixian was wounded several times and fought to the death.

Soon, these only thousands of people were also scattered and slashed by the cavalry of the Yuan army.

Chen Rixian's eyes were bloody, and he looked up to the sky and said: "If you die before you leave the school, you will die at any time, but you will be incompetent!" One general is incompetent to tire three armies, and one commander is incompetent to tire a country! I have no shame to see Taizong in Jiuquan! ”

After speaking, he raised his sword and scratched his face, and shouted to the west: "Brother Huang, brother has done his best!" Suddenly, the sword slashed at itself, and in the blood light, the tall and hidden body slowly fell.

All of his guards were killed in battle.

A generation of famous generals of the Yue Kingdom finally withered outside the ancient city.

After another half an hour, the Yuan army cleared out the Vietnamese deserters and controlled the prisoners of war.

On the huge battlefield, there are human corpses, horse corpses, elephant corpses, and cow corpses. and broken battle flags and weapons.

A fresh and fresh Shura field.

Li Luo sat in the camp without moving, indifferently looking at the generals who reported the results in the account, although he was secretly happy in his heart, his face was cold.

After half a day of fighting, although they still won the final decisive battle, all the generals looked solemn and had no joy.

It's really a battle... A pyrrhic victory is like defeat. even almost turned the Vietnamese army into a victory.

Although the Vietnamese army was completely annihilated, the Yuan army suffered 60,000 casualties and almost collapsed.

Nearly half of the losses were made.

What kind of victory is this? For the always arrogant Yuan army, such a large casualty was a defeat.

The cavalry alone suffered 18,000 casualties, half of which were Mongol cavalry. The Tusi barbarians and the Han army suffered 17,000 casualties, and the Vietnamese traitor army suffered more than 25,000 casualties.

Even if you don't count the traitor army, the casualties of the Yuan army are as high as more than 30,000 people, and they are all elite. Although the main force of the Yuan army was not completely destroyed, it was already crippled.

Fortunately, the Vietnamese army no longer has any heavy army groups. Otherwise, I really don't know who killed the deer.

Li Luo's expression was a little dazed. Chen Rilian, as expected, did not disappoint himself, he actually killed so many elites of the Yuan army in one battle.

He was a little afraid, if Chen Rilian's strength composition was more forbidden troops and fewer township troops, then most of today's defeat was him Li Luo.

The Yuan army was indeed greatly injured, but after this battle, the general trend of Annan was already under control.

The Chen Dynasty, which has become the court in the mountains, can no longer make big waves.

Next, the remaining Yuan army is enough to implement the cage policy. When Chen Huang Junchen is captured, the Southern Expedition will be regarded as a complete victory.

But who knows the general's true thoughts? They thought the general was furious.

The big tent was unusually hot, everyone had just finished the battle, and their bodies were sweating like pulp, and suddenly the entire military tent was a sour smell of sweat, and Li Luo's brain hurt, which made his expression even more gloomy.

No one dared to take off their armor, and no one dared to speak.

Obviously, the loss of more than 30,000 elites of Dayuan, and the golden Mongolian cavalry alone has tens of thousands. Someone must shoulder this responsibility.

Could it be that if the war is won, everyone will not be responsible? Think too much. Rewards and punishments in the military are not so simple.

"In this battle, there should not have been such heavy losses, although the Vietnamese army was numerous, most of them were township troops. And our army lost 60,000! Li Luo said in a faint voice, and the entire big tent was suddenly filled with a kind of pressure.

Even Deputy Marshal Zuo also felt the pressure from Li Luo.

And at this time, he was already angry in his heart. Not only was he angry, but he was terrified at the thought of burying tens of thousands of Mongolian iron horsemen under his command.

10,000 Mongolian elite riders! How many Mongolian cavalry can there be in the entire Great Yuan? What would the Great Khan think when he found out?

Su Die'er's braids were scattered, and the sweat stuck to the oily face, looking ugly and funny, but also fierce and savage.

The Mongolian nobleman suddenly stood up with a "poof", tore off his helmet, and fell in front of the Khitan general Yelu Zhongjie and the Jurchen general Shi Mo Huaide, and said indignantly: "Yelu Zhongjie, Shi Mo Huaide, why do you want to escape!" It's you two cowards who buried 10,000 Mongolian iron horsemen! ”

Yelu Zhongjie and Shi Mo Huaide were furious when they heard this.

What the?

Is it us who escaped? You let us take the lead, and we suddenly encounter an attack from the elephant herd, don't you dodge and block it for your Mongol cavalry?

Even if we are willing to block it, can we block it? Thousands of elephants are attacking, how can the cavalry block it?

If you Mongols hide behind you, and you end up suffering more casualties, do you put the blame on us?

"Deputy Marshal Zuo, we didn't run away, the elephants rushed over, did we let the Khitan warriors die in vain?" Jerod had to discern for himself.

Not to be outdone, Shi Mo Huaide said: "Deputy Marshal Zuo, this is not right. Do the Jurchen warriors have to hedge against the elephant herd? Besides, the Jurchen warriors also suffered thousands of casualties. ”

also said angrily: "Hmph, you dare to quibble!" You are not honest people! It was your cowardice that caused the Mongolian warriors behind to suffer heavy casualties! You two should be dealt with by military law! He made up his mind to make the two of them scapegoats.

Both of them literally blew up in their lungs. There is no reason for your own command to be wrong, and as a result, I will be held responsible.

Without saying anything, Su Die'er buttoned the two of them with the hat of cowardice, and shouted: "Someone! Take down these two cowardly men! Prepare for a military disposition! ”

"Wow!"

Su Die'er's personal soldiers received the order together, and they were about to step forward to take down Yelu Zhongjie and Shi Mo Huaide.

"Slow." Li Luo said lightly, he finally seized an opportunity to encircle Yelu Zhongjie and Shi Mo Huaide, how could he let it go?

"Stand down!" Li Luo frowned.

"Wow!"

The general spoke, and Su Die'er's personal soldiers immediately restrained their movements. Even if you are fast, you don't dare to play tricks anymore.

Relying on his status as a Mongolian nobleman and deputy marshal, before Li Luo spoke, he could indeed dispose of Yelu Zhongjie and Shi Mo Huaide, but if Li Luo spoke, he could only obey.

That's the authority of the manager.
