In front of the Song army, the 2,000 melee soldiers who rushed to kill and annihilate the enemy returned triumphantly, each with their heads hanging from their waists, and various armor, bows and crossbows and other trophies in their hands. For a time, the five armies cheered and thundered, the banners were unfurled, the swords and guns were pointed at the sky, and the drums and horns sounded in unison. The sounds of "great victory" and "ten thousand victories" rolled like thunder and resounded on the battlefield.

On the other hand, on the side of the Yuan army, although there were many people and strong soldiers, they collectively fell silent, and even faintly showed a trace of panic.

The horrific slaughter displayed by the combination of 5,000 muskets was too shocking, and no matter how many people there were in front of such a fire net, it was useless.

In front of the tent of the marshal of Xiaoshan Baoyuan, Bai Jianu, Wu Jiming, Liu Jun and other generals of the defeated army bowed their heads and knelt down to plead guilty. As for the other two generals, Liang Xiongfei was shot dead in front of the battle, and Qian Rong was not in the chaotic army that fled.

Boyan squinted at a pair of detailed eyes, fixed on the position of the Song army in front of him, and didn't even look at the few defeated generals kneeling on the ground.

The generals under the tent talked one after another, and some people had palpitations: "The musket alone is so powerful, and the artillery that has not yet been used is so terrifying." ”

Another general was puzzled: "Why don't the Song people use artillery?" ”

Yijiang said with a bitter face: "The musket is enough to defeat my 20,000 strong soldiers, why do the Song people need to use artillery?" ”

Instigation has a gloomy face: "That's right, the bait we laid is not heavy enough." ”

The instigation guessed correctly, the reason why Zhao Lie and Jiang Fenglie only killed with muskets and did not use artillery was to hang the Yuan army, so that the opponent could see a glimmer of hope, and constantly invest troops, and then be crushed little by little by the flesh and blood grinding plate of the Dragon Bird Army. If you use artillery as soon as you come up, directly beat the opponent to despair, and retreat back to the battalion, the results will be far from what you expected.

At this time, a Mongolian general with a ruddy face and a beard like a hedgehog came out and said: "Prime Minister, although the Song people's muskets are good, they are only good for long-range attacks, as long as the close-quarters muskets are burning sticks." If you want to win this battle, it is useless to count on these southern barbarians, and you have to rely on our Mongolian elite cavalry. The last general is willing to lead a cavalry army, attack its formation from the flank, disturb its formation, and wait for it to be tired, quickly tear apart the Song army's large array, and destroy this dragon bird army. ”

This Mongolian general is the younger brother of the left prime minister of Zhongshu Province, the general of Zhaowu, and tens of thousands of households. This is also the leader of the 10,000-strong team of the Cowardly Xue Army this time. This person had accompanied Yilkhan Hulegu to the west, quite a war achievement, well versed in the method of cavalry warfare, extremely proud of the tactics of the invincible Mongolian cavalry in the west, seeing that tens of thousands of new annexed troops were not made up, he was angry and disdainful, and immediately asked for orders to fight.

All the generals under the tent nodded one after another, in the face of the Song people's musket killing formation, it is definitely not possible to rush forward, and Su Dieer's proposal is the old tactic of the Mongols, although the tactics are old, but they have been tried and tested in the past against the Song people, and they can often be finalized, and it is worth a try.

Boyan was still looking at the Song army's large array from afar, but he said: "Ye Sudie'er, according to you, how do the Song army's Guangnan Army and Minnan Army compare with the Dragon Bird Army?" ”

Ye Sudie'er looked up for a while and said, "No matter the momentum, training, or morale, they are not as good as the Dragon Bird Army, so the last general wants to use elite cavalry to attack its formation from the flanks." As long as these two armies are in chaos, no matter how strong the Dragon Bird Army is, it will be difficult to support it alone. ”

Instigated Du also said: "The last general also thinks that it is feasible to quickly die's strategy." ”

Boyan retracted his gaze and said, "You can all see it, it's good...... However, it is not yet time. ”

"That'...... What are we going to do next? ”

Boyan only said a simple and concise word: "Wait! ”

Wait?!

Instigating Du, Ye Sudie'er, Pu Shougeng, Baijianu and a cadre of Menghan generals looked at each other, what kind of strategy is this?

……

At the beginning of the Shen period, although it was past the hottest time of noon, the early autumn in the southeast was still unbearably hot, no weaker than midsummer, and the so-called "autumn tiger" was probably like this.

Since the defeat of the 20,000 Yuan army, for a whole hour, the Yuan army on the opposite side has not moved, and it is strangely quiet. On the battlefield, only the servants of the two armies were busy back and forth, although they were the same busy, but their demeanor was very different from each other - the servants on the Song army's side were in full swing to collect all kinds of spoils, while the servants on the Yuan army's side honestly carried away the wounded and disposed of the corpses.

Until the battlefield was handled cleanly and no matter how barrier-free, the Yuan army never launched another attack.

Under the long-term confrontation, the will, physical strength, and training of the soldiers in the array were severely tested, and the arrays of the Song and Yuan armies began to waver.

On the Song Army's side, the Dragon Bird Army is okay, and the musketeers already have strict requirements for the queue. To become a qualified musketeer, who has not been trained hard under the scorching sun and torrential rain for many years? I can still endure the heat and exhaustion. However, the soldiers of the Quang Nam and Minnan armies on the left and right flanks and the rear armies were more than brave and poorly trained, and they faced each other in a wood-like formation for a long time, and their morale gradually became restless, their fighting spirit slowly slackened, and the formation began to be a little unstable.

On the side of the Yuan army, from time to time, you can see a team of knights in and out of the various army formations, but whenever they see slackness, they will be served with a whip and a big stick, and they will directly cut off their heads to show the three armies. Under the strict punishment and strict law, the formation of the Yuan army remained stable and unchaotic.

On top of the nest car, Zhao Lie has already summoned Jiang Fenglie, Shi Yang, Chen Hangyan, Li Zifa and other generals to discuss - what do you want to do without a fight or retreat?

The generals discussed for a while, but before they could come up with a way, suddenly Huang Xian, the commander of the Guangnan Army who stayed behind to lead the army, galloped to the Chinese army, hurriedly boarded the nest car, and said loudly when he saw Zhao Lie: "Your Majesty, the minister knows what Boyan wants to do." ”

Zhao Lie and the generals looked sideways: "Huang Tong said quickly, what does Boyan want?" ”

Huang Xian took a breath, took a big sip of the kettle handed by the guard, and after moistening his throat, he didn't directly say his analysis, but talked about an old incident of Boyan's battle in the past.

In the fifteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1277), Xianzong's son Xiliji was ordered to quell the rebellion launched by Sun Haidu, the son of Ogedai, together with Muhan, the king of Beiping, and An Tong, the right prime minister. Unexpectedly, Siriji defected halfway, kidnapped the prince Muhan and the right prime minister An Tong, and responded to the rebellion of Haidu. Kublai Khan was shocked when he heard the report and ordered Boyan to lead his army to the rescue. Boyan and the Haidu Army met at the Arukun River (at the eastern foot of present-day Mongolian Kangai Mountain).

When it was, Boyan ordered to line up across the river from the Haidu army. The Boyan army was in strict formation, and the army was very strict, and no one dared to slack off. All day long, the Haidu army appeared tired and loose, the ranks were chaotic, and the formation was unorganized. Boyan's soldiers divided into two ways, suddenly attacked the enemy, and at the same time sent elite warriors to penetrate the enemy's camp tent and rescue the prince and prime minister. The Haidu army, which had been in disarray, was defeated, and the Cyriji army fled in defeat and died on the way.

After Huang Xian finished speaking, the hearts of all the generals lit up - it turned out that Boyan was going to play this trick again.

Ma Nanchun is familiar with ancient history and said: "During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei Wu Cao Cao broke the Karasuma, and he also used this strategy. ”

Li Zifa was not worried: "Our Guangnan and Minnan armies are not well trained, and their formations are indeed prone to flaws. Boyan's move is really ruthless. But even if we knew, we couldn't help ......."

"Who says we can't help it?" Jiang Fenglie said coldly, "My Dragon Bird Army is neither a Mongolian army, nor a Karasuma person, if you want to brake quietly, Boyan is afraid that he has miscalculated." ”

Shi Yang also shouted: "Your Majesty, do it, otherwise Meng Tartar will really be our cannon is an ornament!" ”

Zhao Lie nodded slowly, with a hint of blood in his tone: "If the enemy is not me, I will be the enemy." They've had enough peanuts before, and now it's time to eat monk fruit. ”
