Chapter 158: The Yuan People's Ambition
Li Cunxin was killed by an arrow from Jebe, and his subordinates lost their command and no longer had any courage to resist.
The cavalry of the Yuan army took advantage of the victory to march and approached the main army of the Tang army, which was fighting bloodily with the Song army at the forefront. Suffering from the enemy on the back of the abdomen, the Tang army's formation was in chaos, while the Song army was full of momentum, wielding swords and guns to kill the Tang soldiers who were originally fighting evenly and retreated.
"Damn, Zhao Kuangyin, you dog thief, dare to collude with the Hu people to sneak attack our army!"
Li Keyong couldn't help but be furious when he saw this, and attacked Zhao Kuangyin with a knife while scolding loudly.
Zhao Kuangyin sneered when he heard this, and said disdainfully: "It's just each other, when you Li Tang raised an army, you didn't rely on the power of the Turks. Now why should Temujin Khan be desperately begging for help? ”
"You! Hmph, count yourself ruthless! ”
Li Keyong listened to Zhao Kuangyin's rebuttal, and was immediately speechless, seeing that the officers and men of his army were suffering heavy casualties under the attack of the Yuan and Song armies, he forced Zhao Kuangyin back with a false move. With a wave of the big sword, he ordered in a loud voice: "The soldiers quickly follow me to break through to the west!" ”
"Kill, kill to live!"
Li Ke gave an order, and the Tang army, which was being attacked from both sides, immediately unified their guns after hearing the order, and swarmed towards the Yuan cavalry who were blocking the way behind.
"Catch up, assist the Yuan army to exterminate the Tang army, and capture Li Keyong alive!"
Zhao Kuangyin naturally couldn't let the Tang army break through, so he immediately gave an order and commanded tens of thousands of troops to rush forward.
"Li Cunxian's child is leaving, and he is fighting with me for three hundred rounds!"
Li Keyong ordered a breakthrough, and Li Cunxian immediately abandoned Wei Chigong and went west. Wei Chi Gong begged for battle, and after hearing Zhao Kuangyin's order to pursue, he immediately urged the horse to enter the Tang army formation, and went straight to Li Cunxian to kill.
When Li Cunxian saw that Wei Chigong had turned his horse to kill again, he couldn't help but be angry, and the long lance in his hand stabbed forward, "Why are you endless, go die!" ”
"Haha, good time!"
Yu Chigong laughed loudly, suddenly stretched out his arm forward, slammed Li Cunxian's long lance, pulled out the purple gold whip on his back with his backhand, and slammed it towards Li Cunxian.
Li Cunzhen saw that the situation was not good, and immediately let go of the long lance in his hand with both hands, and leaned down, which was able to avoid the whip of Wei Chigong.
"Let's go down!"
Wei Chigong backhanded another whip, hitting Li Cunxian's back. Li Cunxian's "wow" mouth spewed out a stream of bloody arrows, turned over and fell off the horse.
"The thief will not be rampant, see me Pei Xingyan come to fight you!"
At this critical juncture, a rapid horseshoe bell rang, and the word ink horn Qilin carried the silver hammer young general Pei Xing out of the thorn incline like a lightning speed. Pei Xingyan roared, and a pair of bright silver hammers swept through thousands of troops and smashed towards Wei Chigong.
"Ding Dong, it was detected that Pei Xingyan has entered the state of the world, the force is +7, the base force is 102, and the current force has risen to 109."
Wei Chigong had just picked up the horse lance and was about to stab it down to kill Li Cunxian, when he suddenly felt the wind whirring in his ears, and he had no time to think about it and hurriedly raised the horse lance to block in front of him.
"Ding Dong, it was detected that Wei Chigong has entered a state of full strength, with force +4, basic force 97, and the current force has risen to 101."
Clang!
After a violent collision, Wei Chigong's arm was numb for a while, and the qi and blood in his chest rolled up like a river and a sea, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly turned his horse and fled.
At the same time, there was also a commotion behind the Yuan army, and a group of men and horses killed through the crowd and hit a gap alive. The leading general, Pei Renji, greeted loudly: "General Li Keyong, the old man's new general Pei Renji of Zuo Weiwei is also, I was ordered to come to help you, and quickly break through with me." ”
Li Keyong was overjoyed when he saw a reinforcement army suddenly coming, and immediately waved his sword to command the army to join Pei Renji's troops, and broke through to the west from the gap he had opened.
The Song and Yuan coalition forces pursued closely all the way and chased straight to the fortress of Bird Mouse Valley. Li Ke, who had just fled back to the fortress, responded to the battle in a hurry, and his subordinates suffered heavy losses, and they were unable to fight and finally abandoned the city and fled.
After taking the Bird Mouse Valley, Torre asked Zhao Kuangyin to resign: "His Royal Highness the King of Song, now that the Bird Mouse Valley has fallen, there will be no danger for the King of Song to go south and merge the state." According to the agreement between King Song and his father Khan, Xiao Wang should lead the army to the grassland. ”
Zhao Kuangyin is worried that the Yuan people will not leave the state from then on. At this moment, when he heard Torrey propose to return to the grassland, he was secretly overjoyed, and after pretending to stay for a while, he saw that Torrey had made up his mind, so he sent off the Yuan army with great fanfare.
Torre led tens of thousands of troops to ride away from the Bird Mouse Valley and headed north. After walking for about ten miles, the senior general Jebe finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked Torrey his question, "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, this time Zhao Kuangyin was able to take the fortress of Bird Mouse Valley from the Tang army, completely relying on our Dayuan warriors. Why did you give this to Zhao Kuangyin so generously, even if it is not good, you should knock a stroke from Zhao Kuangyin's hand! ”
Torre smiled slightly and said, "Zhao Kuangyin is also a hero, and the strategic position of the Sparrow Mouse Valley is extremely important. If we don't give it, I'm afraid he will not hesitate to turn his face with us. ”
Jebel waved his hand aggressively, "What are you afraid of, just with the few people under him, I really didn't pay attention to it!" ”
Torre patiently explained to Jebel: "Uncle Jebel, you have followed my father Khan for many years, and you should know that his ambition is not only to conquer the steppe, but to make the whole world under the rule of my Great Yuan. ”
Zhebei nodded, still puzzled, and asked, "But what does this have to do with Zhao Kuangyin?" ”
Torre smiled faintly: "The Central Plains is vast, if there is a unified regime, then it will be much more difficult for my Dayuan Iron Horse to go south." On the contrary, if the Central Plains is constantly in turmoil and the princes attack each other, my Dayuan Iron Cavalry can easily drink the Yellow River and occupy the whole world. ”
Jebe nodded thoughtfully, "So we have to support careerists like Zhao Kuangyin and let them provoke a war in the Central Plains, so that in the future, after the Great Khan dominates the entire grassland, it will be easier to go south to the Central Plains." ”
"Not bad!"
Torre nodded heavily, "Supporting a weak Han force like Zhao Kuangyin, they will rely more on our Dayuan in order to protect themselves, and we can use their name to encroach on the land of the Han people little by little, and finally kick them away when the overall situation is decided!" ”
"I see!"
After Jebel understood Torre's true intentions, he couldn't help but laugh heartily and said, "I guess Zhao Kuangyin saw that we were so generous in giving him the strategic military location of the Bird Mouse Valley, and now I'm afraid he is already crazy." But he didn't know that all that he was doing now was just making a wedding dress for our Dayuan. ”
Torre also smiled coldly, turned his head to look at the beautiful mountains and rivers in the distance, and said lightly: "Sooner or later, one day, these places will be planted with the banner of my Dayuan." ”
