Chapter 654: Defeat Kublai Khan

For Kublai Khan, the sooner Ali Buge saw the king of Hades, his khanate position would be stabilized one day earlier, so as long as the news was slowly released with Ali Buge, as long as it did not appear too abrupt, Kublai Khan would inevitably fall for the scheme.

And Ali Buge and his subordinates found a plausible reason to let Ali Buge break away from the army, leaving only 5,000 men and horses by his side. The reason for this is that Ali Buge wanted to take advantage of Kublai Khan's failure in the battle with Shi Bin to attack Kublai Khan, but his generals either thought that it was not fair to take advantage of the danger of others, or thought that Kublai Khan's foundation was not injured and it was not suitable to attack. Therefore, there was a conflict with Ali Buge, and Ali Buge simply left the camp in anger.

Shi Bin, on the other hand, began to practice encirclement warfare, ready to fight Kublai Khan at any time.

Sure enough, Kublai Khan learned that Ali Buge had left the camp with only 5,000 pro-troops around him, and immediately wanted to lead the army to kill Ali Buge. It's just that he has always been rigorous in his thinking and very thorough, and he didn't send troops as soon as he heard the news. Instead, dozens of scouts were sent to investigate.

The news that came back made Kublai Khan very happy, Ali Buge did have only 5,000 people around him, and he himself took one or two hundred men out to hunt from time to time. Shi Bin's soldiers and horses were repaired two hundred miles away, and they were absolutely unable to rescue in time.

Slowly, Kublai Khan strengthened his belief in sending troops. One day, Kublai Khan suddenly raised his account and announced that he would lead 20,000 elites to annihilate Ali Buge. The distribution of troops is that 10,000 horses will directly attack Ali Buge, and the other 10,000 horses will confront Shi Bin's men, just entangle.

Although he felt that there would be a conspiracy in it, Kublai Khan was a master of art and boldness, and he didn't think that Ali Buge would dare to be a bait himself. Thinking that as soon as his troops arrived, Ali Buge would definitely abandon his men and flee if he couldn't defeat him, and Shi Bin would not be able to spend a lot of effort to rescue such a waste, so Kublai Khan thought that this battle was at least seventy percent sure of victory.

It's a pity that Kublai Khan didn't expect that the open-faced Ali Buge was a fake, and the real Ali Buge had long been with the ambush soldiers and was ready to attack Kublai Khan at any time.

In order to prevent Kublai Khan's surprise attack from succeeding, Shi Bin and Ali Buge also arranged some scouts, but these scouts were dressed in civilian clothes and disguised as herdsmen to graze cattle nearby.

I have to admit that Kublai Khan's men are all elite, even if there are scouts staring at them, Ali Buge's 5,000 men and horses were also taken by surprise, but the losses were not much, and they soon stabilized their positions again.

I didn't expect that this time Ali Buge's subordinates could quickly regain their foothold after being suddenly attacked, and Kublai Khan was even more sure that Ali Buge must be among the 5,000 people, otherwise these soldiers would never have behaved so well. In addition, Ali Buge's subordinates kept galloping in the direction of Shi Bin's camp, which made Kublai Khan subconsciously think that Ali Buge sent someone to find Shi Bin to rescue the soldiers.

In order not to fall into the embarrassing situation of fighting on two sides, Kublai Khan no longer kept reserves, and ordered 10,000 horses to attack Ali Buge's 5,000 men with all his might, hoping to defeat the enemy army and kill Ali Buge as soon as possible. Even if it can't be killed, destroying the five thousand elites in front of him is still a big victory, which is conducive to morale recovery.

On the surface, Shi Bin's soldiers and horses were two hundred miles away from Ali Buge's five thousand soldiers and horses, and if they were on foot, they would definitely not be able to gallop in time. Even if they arrived at the battlefield in time with a rapid march, the soldiers were very tired and had no combat power, so they could only be killed by Kublai Khan.

It's just that this time Brother Ali Buge lent Shi Bin more than 5,000 war horses, and Shi Bin himself also has more than 5,000 war horses, and he doesn't plan to engage in one person and two horses, as long as there are more

Mobilize troops and horses and speed up the speed of galloping, so Shi Bin's more than 10,000 men are running to the battlefield with one man and one horse regardless of horsepower.

In this way, Shi Bin's rescue troops were also divided into two parts, 10,000 horses rushed to help, and the other 10,000 accelerated on foot without exhausting their physical strength.

In less than two hours, Shi Bin's 10,000 cavalry had already reached ten miles outside the battlefield, and although they had been discovered by the army left by Kublai Khan on the periphery to resist Ali Buge's reinforcements, the two armies did not immediately clash, but confronted each other.

This situation made Ali Buge, who was hiding twenty miles away and ready to attack at any time, all of them see. He was both anxious and angry in his heart, and scolded Shi Bin for not keeping his promise and deliberately causing him to lose his strength.

At this time, Wang Jian, who came with Shi Bin, asked puzzledly: "Lord Shi, why don't you continue to advance to attack Kublai Khan's men and horses, but confront him here?" This would make the 5,000 men of Ali Buge in the encirclement very dangerous. They obviously can't hold it anymore. ”

"Of course I know, but Lord Wang doesn't have to worry."

understood that Wang Jian, a loyal person, had an opinion, but Shi Bin didn't plan to change his attitude because of this, he didn't want to make any Yuan people too comfortable, but he didn't want to say these bad things personally, so he gave Xu Feng a look and asked him to say it.

After understanding, Xu Feng spoke: "Lord Wang, we are galloping two hundred miles, shouldn't the soldiers rest more while the Yuan people have not woken up, but instead ask the soldiers to drag their tired bodies to confront the Yuan people?" What if all the 5,000 people in the encirclement died? The dead are all Yuan people, not my Song people. If we die more, we will be less threatening in the future, and I think it's good to be humble. ”

looked at Shi Bin and found that his face had not changed in any way, obviously supporting Xu Feng's statement, Wang Jian immediately felt very unhappy in his heart. In the end, he didn't hold back, and shouted loudly: "Lord Shi, how can you be like this? The soldiers and horses came but did not rescue! ”

"Lord Wang, please pay attention to your attitude!" Xu Feng shouted angrily.

"Lord Wang, Ben Shuai thinks he has done nothing wrong. First, our soldiers and horses are tired and must rest. Second, I didn't make an agreement with Ali Buge about how long it would take to launch an attack. Third, not to mention that since our army has arrived, why didn't his 10,000 horses come out. Do you want to use our Song army as a gunman? Lord Wang, this is a war, we must focus on the interests of the country, and all those morals must be put aside! ”

When Shi Bin said this, Wang Jian was immediately speechless. Although Shi Bin said it was too cold-blooded and ruthless, it was indeed methodical.

In order not to embarrass Wang Jian too much, Shi Bin said: "I will immediately send someone to contact Ali Buge, and ask him to lead the army out to attack Kublai Khan's men and horses together." As soon as his men and horses come out, I will definitely go to support the 5,000 trapped Yuan army. ”

Knowing Shi Bin's true attitude, Wang Jian calmed down after thinking about it carefully, and expressed his willingness to accept this plan.

In less than two quarters of an hour, Ali Buge's 10,000 ambush soldiers rushed out and attacked Kublai Khan's outlying troops together with Shi Bin's reinforcements.

This mutation surprised Kublai Khan, but he was not panicked. Having quickly broken through the defenses of 5,000 men and horses, and at the same time believing in the fighting power of his men, Kublai Khan decided to fight until dark. If you haven't achieved your goal, take advantage of the night to evacuate.

The fierce battle on the battlefield is in full swing, and Shi Bin and Ali Buge are also quarrelling.

"Lord Shi, what do you mean by that? Why did the soldiers and horses arrive, not only did they not fight with Kublai Khan, but confronted him? ”

I don't like Ali Buge's tone very much, but Shi Bin's status is not as good as him, and he can only endure it if he wants to cooperate with him. meantime

He also said very strongly: "Great Khan, for the sake of your 5,000 soldiers and horses, I have galloped here with my men for 200 miles without a moment of rest. We just know how to ride horses, so we are tired and falling apart all the way, where can we fight again? We would also like to thank Kublai Khan's men for being so suspicious that I doubt they would be able to hold it if he had attacked in disregard. ”

This reason is very sufficient, and Brother Ali Buge was also blocked and had nothing to say, which was very embarrassing.

"Great Khan, I'm sorry. Shi was rude just now, the 5,000 soldiers and horses should be able to withstand at least until dark, and our 20,000 soldiers and horses should break through Kublai Khan's interception in less than an hour. What's more, we still have the follow-up 10,000 infantry, and I believe that it will arrive in less than two hours, and Kublai Khan will not be able to escape the fate of defeat. ”

Being relieved by this, Brother Ali is no longer anxious, although it is a lot for him to sacrifice 5,000 elites, but it can severely damage Kublai Khan's 20,000 horses and make Kublai Khan defeat again, these costs are worth spending.

Seeing the 5,000 Ali Buge's men in the reinforcements, the combat power immediately increased, and Kublai Khan suddenly felt that he had encountered a difficult stone, and must have fallen into the trap designed by Ali Buge and Shi Bin.

The 10,000 reinforcements promised to Ali Buge arrived in only an hour and a half, half an hour earlier than estimated. As a result, Ali Buge was overjoyed, and Kublai Khan became terrified, and all he was thinking about now was how to get out of the battlefield as soon as possible.

Shi Bin naturally did not rush to send troops to help, and also ordered the reinforcements to repair in place for half an hour. This time, Brother Ali did not urge Shi Bin to send troops, because he had already won the battle, and there was no need to offend Shi Bin for hundreds of subordinates.

After the newly arrived 10,000 Song troops recovered their physical strength, Shi Bin began to adjust the arrangement. Transfer Ali Buge's 10,000 cavalry out of the battle, and let the new 10,000 Song soldiers replace him. And the 10,000 cavalry went straight to Kublai Khan's men and horses inside. Although both armies were exhausted, Ali Buge still took advantage of Kublai Khan's heart. Kublai Khan's command was out of order for a while, and if it weren't for the well-trained subordinates of Kublai Khan, I am afraid that he would have been defeated.

Now that Kublai Khan knew that there was no possibility of victory, he came with a strong man and broke his wrist, and left the battlefield with all the soldiers who could be commanded, and he gave up on the rest of his subordinates.

After the battle, none of Shi Bin and his entourage were happy because they had won the battle, and the blood was really not worth rejoicing. Ali Buge is different, although he lost five or six thousand elites, but Kublai Khan lost a full fifteen thousand elites, and Shi Bin also lost three or four thousand elites, he is very satisfied with this result.

"Master Shi, thank you." It didn't take long for Ali Buge to come over and thank him.

"The Great Khan doesn't have to be polite, Kublai Khan is our common enemy, and it will be good for us to destroy him." Shi Bin said with a smile.

"Having said that, the adults still lost thousands of men, and those are elites, not cannon fodder. Ben Khan was a little reluctant to go, if Lord Shi wanted to make any request, just say yes, Ben Khan would definitely agree. Ali Buge said with a smile.

Of course, I don't believe that Brother Ali Buge will agree to anything, but such a good opportunity naturally cannot be missed. Shi Bin's first condition is to 'borrow Jingzhou and not pay it back', and Shi Bin does not plan to return the more than 5,000 good horses to Ali Buge. The second condition was that he would share half of the spoils.

After listening to Shi Bin's words, Ali Buge's face suddenly turned black iron, but the words had been spoken, and the dignified Yuan people couldn't go back on their word, so they could only pinch their noses and admit the loss.

Shi Bin's heart was as sweet as drinking honey, because in this way, he got at least 15,000 military horses and 6,000 sets of harnesses. It means that he can have six or seven thousand full-fledged cavalry again.
