Chapter 193: The Poor Men Are Broken

Crash, complete collapse.

In the Liuqiu army, the terrible suona sound seemed to tear the heart and lungs, and Temujin's scalp was numb when he heard it. He drove his horse and galloped, and this feeling of running for his life with all his strength has not been felt for many years.

When the Loyal Army appeared to the east, Temujin knew that he had lost this time. Obviously, the purpose of the Song army this time was not to stop him, but to completely eliminate him.

He underestimated these southerners too much, originally he thought that the Jin State was vulnerable in front of him, and the Song State was weaker than the Jin State, so attacking the Song State with his strength must be Mount Tai to crush the eggs, although from Li Quan and the rest of the channels, he knew that the Song people used artillery, but in the long-term war with the Jin State, the Mongols had defeated the Jin people who used firearms more than once. He originally thought that the power of artillery was only comparable to that of Jin's gunpowder weapons, but he never imagined that once the artillery was used intensively, it would be as powerful.

The 150,000 elite troops, in addition to the 30,000 dependent troops, nearly 20,000 of the Cowardly Xue Army and the 100,000 Tanma Red Army collapsed in an instant. Until now, Temujin did not understand that it was not artillery that was woven into a dense web of fire, but mines. He didn't understand that it was not the anger of the immortals that increased the power of the mines, but the wisdom of human beings.

The clouds hung low in the sky, dark red, like dried blood.

After all, Temujin was over sixty years old, and when he won, he could still rely on his perseverance to support him, but this outright defeat made him physically and mentally exhausted. If it weren't for the cowardly Xue Jun guards of his cronies, he was afraid that he would have fallen off his horse long ago.

"Swear to avenge this, swear to avenge this!"

Glancing back, Temujin did not see the pursuers, but he felt that the pursuers were everywhere. He gasped and roared at the sky.

The cowardly Xue Jun who followed him also roared angrily in the sky, and his voice no longer had the power of a reason, but like the wail of a blue wolf when it was desperate.

No matter how many horses they had, after a day of fighting and galloping for dozens of miles, they still had to stop and rest to allow the horses to regain some strength. Temujin wanted to ask how far this place was from Zou City, but found that Li Quan, who was familiar with this place, did not follow.

"It's better to be dead." He secretly had hatred in his heart, if it had been twenty years earlier, he could have tolerated this kind of failure, but now that he was old, suspicious, and stubborn, he put the responsibility for this defeat on Li Quan's head. If it weren't for the error in the information provided by Li Quan, if it weren't for Li Quan's statement that the Liuqiu army was good at water warfare and was unfamiliar with foot warfare, and if it weren't for Li Quan's belief that artillery was suitable for naval warfare and siege of cities but not for field warfare, he would not have made such a mistake at all.

Even if it weren't for Li Quan, Shi Tianze, Tian Zhenhai and the like, he originally wanted to attack Western Xia, how could he suffer such a big defeat in the Song Kingdom!

"Great Khan, please have some milk bars."

They didn't carry much with them during the defeat, and although they were hungry and thirsty, all they could offer was sour milk wine. Temujin took a sip of it, and the feeling of fire in his throat suddenly reminded him that the tits were mixed with liquor that had been begged for human property.

"No, don't stay here longer." He settled down and said categorically: "The Song people are treacherous and cunning, how can they have no back?" If I use my troops, I will definitely set up an ambush halfway, and take advantage of the defeat of our army to flee from hunger and thirst, and the army will rush out! ”

"Great Khan, but now people are sleepy and tired, and they can't go far......"

"If you can go to Nazou City, you can rest in peace according to the city." Temujin shook his head and said, "Go, go!" ”

Although they were so sleepy, these cowardly Xue soldiers were Menghu's elite after all, and they were also his henchmen, and he whipped them twice, and then struggled to get up again.

As soon as he got up, Temujin could hear the faint sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing behind him, and without saying a word, he turned on his horse, whipped his whip and left. Now there are less than 6,000 cowardly Xue troops around him, if he is stuck by the Song army, most of the Song army will come immediately, and then use the terrible weapons of Taizhuang, his 6,000 cowardly Xue may not be enough for the Song people to stuff their teeth!

Although he was determined to take revenge, Temujin knew that this was not the time for revenge. This time, he attacked the enemy with his own shortcomings, so he suffered a great defeat, and when he went back to regroup, he would use the tactics they were best at next time, and he would not attack so strongly.

After running wildly for another hour, the sound of killing was far away, and the milk wine he had just drunk had turned into sweat and steamed away, and the strong sense of hunger and thirst made him feel exhausted again.

"Rest, rest......" he commanded as he gasped when he reached a village.

If he had been in his youth, he would have been able to stay on horseback for ten days and ten nights, and as long as the horse did not get tired, he would not have tired! However, the years are not forgiving, he is old, his beard is white, his face is full of wrinkles, and his body and bones can no longer withstand this kind of fatigue.

"What did that Qiu Immortal say, Heaven has the virtue of a good life? Hmph, if God has the virtue of a good life, why don't you let me live for 500 years? Why did I suffer the fiasco I have today? If I kill all the way and don't leave the chickens and dogs, how can I suffer this defeat? ”

As he dismounted, he was thinking wildly and gasping for breath.

Menghu is very able to endure hardships, after a fierce battle, it is getting late, they are running all the way, and the six thousand cowardly Xue have not yet broken down. Now it is the turn of spring and summer, the weeds are abundant, those equally hungry and thirsty war horses are looking for grass everywhere, and Menghu is on fire, fleeing in a hurry, naturally there will be no food, they plundered everywhere, but the people in this vicinity have long been removed by the Song army, they rummaged through the cabinets, and could not find anything to eat, so they had to kill the surplus horses to satisfy their hunger.

He leaned against a door, gasping and glancing around. He was in the only house in the village with a courtyard, and there was a well in the courtyard, and there was a cowardly Xue carrying water.

"Wait a minute! Let the horse drink first! If you give the order, let the horse try the well water first! ”

Seeing that the cowardly Xue was asking for a cow to drink from the bucket, Temujin let out a low roar, and his eyes flashed.

If he used his troops, since he had the strategy of victory, he would definitely consider the diet of the enemy when he fled, but this well was not filled, but it aroused suspicion.

The cowardly Xue sent the bucket to the mouth of a horse, and the horse, who was already very tired, immediately drank wildly, and after drinking for a while, the horse did not see anything wrong. Temujin breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, you can drink." ”

The hungry and thirsty cowardly Xue Jun immediately swarmed up, and you fought for me and drank wildly. After some time, when the horse's meat was roasted, Temujin was offered to Temujin, and Temujin was able to hold it, and then he heard the sound of killing in the distance.

"These southern barbarians, could it be that there are more horses than us?" Temujin was taken aback, all the cavalry who escaped with him were cavalry, and they were cowardly Xue cavalrymen with two or even three horses, and they were still exhausted under such a wild gallop, why could those Song people who walked on two feet be able to chase each other?

"Great Khan, there are 20,000 Song troops!"

Scouts came to report.

"Let's go, let's go!"

If it was only a few hundred cavalry, Temujin would definitely kill all the Song troops who dared to chase before leaving, but with 20,000, his 6,000 cowardice Xue would win, and it would take a lot of time, who knows if other Song troops would catch up. He was immediately on the spot, anyway, he was almost rested, and as for horse meat, the Menghu people grew on horseback, so naturally they could also eat on horseback!

The cowardly Xue army quickly cleaned up, set fire to the small village, and then galloped on horseback. It was about five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was still bright, and they were eating as they ran, and at first everything was normal, but after running for miles, Temujin felt that his beloved horse was trembling and almost fell to the ground.

A stench permeated the cowardly Xue army, and almost a third of the horses began to strain, Temujin was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that this must have been done by the Song people in the water and grass along the way!

He only guarded against the deadly poison of the Song people, but he never guarded against them from taking laxatives!

It was not only the horse that drank the water, but also his cowardly warriors, these loyal and murderous warriors, all of them covered their stomachs and groaned in pain, and many people could no longer bear it, so they unbuttoned their pants and began to solve the problem on the spot.

All of a sudden, the sound of crackling trumpets sounded like thunder, and even Temujin himself felt unbearable colic in his abdomen, so he had to shrink under a tree with the support of two cowardly Xue.

About half of the cowardly Xue was addicted to this laxative, and when Temujin grabbed his pants and stood up to give orders, the sound in his abdomen was like thunder again, and the colic made him squat down impatiently.

"Help me go, help me go!"

Angry and anxious in his heart, he said loudly, regardless of the filth and urine flow.

Since the Song people used this poisonous plan, how could they not have a backhand!

Those cowardly warriors who had never drunk the water from the wells took him half-mixed and half-framed and left. He was put on a horse that had not been strained, and a warrior looked after him, and then he looked at his subordinates, who could not stand up straight, and said, "Go!" ”

There were less than four thousand cowardly warriors who could still follow him, and the rest barely climbed on their horses, unable to keep up with his speed, and were soon pulled behind. Running out of Rich, Temujin could hear the sound of murder behind him, and those cowards who were weak because of diarrhea could not escape this fate.

He sighed, tears rolled down, fighting for half a hundred, how many times have he been so embarrassed! Even when his wife was captured by the enemy, he was never so sad, let alone as dignified as he is now.

The cowardly Xue army did not stop, and did not dare to stop for a while, and stayed until the middle of the night, and finally arrived at Xia Village. The village where the Song army and the Menghu army fought for the first time was only a ruin at this time, Temujin had stopped diarrhea at this time, but his spirit was extremely weak, and he had to be supported by someone to sit firmly in Yishui, by the light of the torch, he looked at the remnants of the great battle, and sighed.

Shi Tianze and Li Quan were treated coldly by him after this setback, he originally thought that the frustration of the two was due to their limited ability, but now it seems that it is not that the two are not brave, but that the Song people are treacherous.

Xia Village was on the banks of the Yellow River, and after the Yellow River was diverted, a lake was formed in this low-lying area, and Temujin frowned again when he heard the sound of the river lapping against the shore in the evening breeze.

"Let's go, let's go!" He shouted.

When he got to this river, he understood why the Song army was mostly foot soldiers, but they could always keep up with him, the Song people took a boat from the water to the river, although the speed of the boat was far less than that of the galloping horse, but it was far less labor-saving, the Song people could take turns to rest on the boat, and the Song people were very good at boating, and they may have been ambushed in the river for a long time, at this time they only need to intercept him halfway!

He guessed correctly this time, after Zhen Dexiu's two Huai troops arrived in Xuzhou, they were sent to the west bank of the river overnight, and when Menghu collapsed, they immediately went ashore to intercept and kill.

Realizing this, Menghu did not dare to stay any longer, and they did not dare to go east, so they could only go north along the river, running two hundred miles in one night, and finally arrived in Zou County. When he saw the county seat of Zou County from afar, Temujin breathed a sigh of relief, entered the city to rest, and then gathered the remnants of the army, he could not go south again, or he could slowly retreat north and return to Yanyun.

At this time, it was morning, the city of Zou County was silent and the gate was closed, Temujin no longer dared to be careless, sent two cowardly Xue to visit, only to reach the city gate, the city suddenly erected countless flags, and then dozens of arrows shot down, although the two cowardly Xue were prepared, they could not avoid so many arrows, and were immediately shot into hedgehogs.

"Let's go!"

Temujin had to make a detour again, and at the head of Zou County, Peng Yibin sneered and did not send troops to chase after him.

"Chief, why don't you chase, Menghu is only a thousand horses, and there are tens of thousands of people in our city!" A loyal army general asked.

"The trapped beast is still fighting, and now Menghu's strength is not exhausted, it must be hard bones to catch up, and this hard bone is better to be gnawed on by the teeth, shall we...... Anyway, the credit has already been given, and the Son of Heaven has to reward him again, and save his strength to clean up Hebei Menghu. Peng Yibin said with a smile: "That strict, Lao Tzu has long looked at him and is not sober, the Son of Heaven has a will, such a traitor and a thief, everyone will be punished!" ”

At the same time, a group of Jin cavalry rushed at full speed from the west bank of Weishan Lake, led by Monk Wanyan Chen.

"The collapse of Menghu is an opportunity to avenge the country, you are more tired, if you take the merits of the war, the heavens and Heda Pingzhang will not hesitate to reward!" Monk Wanyan Chen took the lead, turned around and raised his arms and shouted: "Manly man, when you lift a three-foot sword, it is the right time for the country to make immortal achievements!" ”

"Kill Hu!" The Jin cavalry behind him all shouted.

Seeing that his morale was rising again, Monk Wanyan Chen turned his face, and his face was slightly hideous. Because of the overnight rush, his eyes were full of bloodshots, but his spirit was still very good, and behind him, although there were only 1,200 horsemen, they were the most elite people who dared to kill from the nearly 100,000 gold army, and each of them had three horses.

"I have to kill the old captive, if I let him go, he will suffer a big loss in the Great Song Dynasty, and he will have to make up for it from elsewhere, but I Dajin has no means of the Song Kingdom!" Monk Wanyan Chen was anxious, he deeply knew the importance of Temujin to Menghu: "If you can kill the old captive, Menghu will not only be a group of dragons without a leader...... Phew, it's clear that a group of snakes have no leader, and there will definitely be infighting, the old captives are vying for the throne, my Dajin will regain the lost territory, Kuang will recover the old capital, just around the corner! ”

On the south bank of the Xiaoqing River, a cavalry of the same size was also rushing forward, and the eyes of the people leading the team were shining.

From his side, a knight galloped in, and the dust on his body was an inch thick. In the distance, the leader of the group gave the order to be on guard, waiting for the knight to arrive.

Without dismounting, the knight lay on his horse with exhaustion, as weak as a sick man. But his eyes were still bright, and he reported loudly: "Menghu is defeated, and Remnant Hu is fleeing to Dongping!" ”

"Quick, quick!" The knight at the head shouted loudly: "Before noon today, I have to rush to Dongping, I told Jiang Ye that if I let Meng Hu go, I will not be the flying general Wang Qinian, but the reptile Wang Qinian!" ”

"Ho! Reptile King Qinian, this name is very loud, Wang Shenling, why don't you call it Reptile King Qinian! One laughed.

"My name is Reptile King Qinian, you are not the flying cavalry army we are begging, but the reptile army, those iron pimple artillerymen, I'm afraid you can't raise your head with laughter!" Wang Qinian stood up straight on the horse's pedal: "Who wants to be a reptile army?" ”

He was responded to by the sound of a horsewhip whipping on the horse's hips.
