Chapter 339: All or Nothing

Between the distance of more than 100 steps outside Bazhou City, it is like an invisible river Styx, which is constantly harvesting the lives of those who step into it, leaving the soulless body in place.

There were flames burning everywhere, and with the bright moon in mid-air, the battlefield was in full swing, and neither side had any problems with their vision that affected their performance in the battle.

One day and most of the night, the soldiers on both sides rotated, fighting endlessly to the death, and the rumbling cannons rang out all night without stopping.

In the second half of the night, Kublai Khan, whose eyes were already red, was sitting in danger, there was no military general and civil official around him, even the gold-armored guards guarding outside the big tent deliberately stayed away from the door of the big tent, just like Yama Luo who was sitting inside was afraid of it.

At this time, Kublai Khan's hands were getting less and less chips, and the Great Mongol Empire relied on the strength of riding and archery to power the world, and the bloody means of revenge and killing made the subject countries everywhere dare not resist, this way of ruling was simple, direct and violent, to put it bluntly, those who obeyed me lived and those who rebelled against me died immediately.

But there is a necessary condition, that is, you must always keep you strong, no one can question your authority, no one can defeat you, otherwise once you are beaten to the ground, not only will the subject countries not come to support you, I am afraid that they will take the opportunity to stab you a few times to take revenge.

At this time, the Yuan Dynasty power in the hands of Kublai Khan was already on a very delicate edge, and great changes were likely to happen in the next moment, from whom represented which side of the power, Kublai Khan thought about it and found that everyone had the ability.

Ever since Boyan defeated his descendants, Kublai Khan had felt the hesitation of several Mongol khanates when they transferred troops, in fact, they were skeptical of Kublai Khan's ability, but out of fear of Kublai Khan's past methods, although Moji still obediently sent troops to support.

These troops were grouped together, and when they were around him, they did not show any dissent, and the ordinary soldiers and generals had a strong personality cult of Kublai Khan, but Kublai Khan, who had always been suspicious, had already felt the thoughts in their general's mind.

When these armies set out to fight, the generals who led the army must have been instructed by the Great Khan to decide how to get along with each other after today according to the strength maintained by Kublai Khan. If they see Kublai Khan suffering consecutive defeats and their morale is low and it is difficult to win, I am afraid that these people will dare to turn around and flee, in order to preserve the strength of their own family, they will not remember the feelings of the past.

This habit of respecting the strong is the result of thousands of years of fighting and vendetta on the Mongolian Plateau, and it is a rule of conduct that everyone openly recognizes after countless battles, and as a strong man, he must face challenges at all times.

Genghis Khan unified the country, fought more than 100 battles to completely rule the Mongolian khanates, and spent the second half of his life to conquer the east and west, before he conquered the country with the largest territory in the world.

But now the biggest crisis is coming, Kublai Khan must first use a convincing victory to establish his pride as a descendant of the Golden Family, otherwise the seemingly incomparably powerful Yuan Dynasty will fall apart in the next moment.

"Send another 80,000 soldiers to the battle, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! The rebels are exterminated! ”

Kublai Khan squeezed this order out between his teeth, the loss of life was the simplest and easiest thing for him, whether it was the enemy or his own warriors, he had only seen numbers before, and he had never really cared.

But when I sent troops again today, when I wanted to order 100,000 troops, I hesitated in my mind, and then I said 80,000. He has invested too many chips one after another, so much so that Kublai Khan began to cherish his life and began to calculate the strength he still had, but he never saw where the bottom line of the Song army's bearing was.

"I don't believe in evil, you really have endless shells!"

Kublai Khan slapped the table heavily and shouted to the outside of the tent: "Prepare a horse for me, I will personally supervise the battle!" ”

Zhao Tianyou drank a little wine, and ran to the tower to find a bed to take a nap, when he woke up energetically, the time had passed midnight, and Song Jun had completed another change of guard.

At this time, the number of battle losses of the Song army began to increase, and the city was no longer a one-sided massacre, and the archers of the Yuan army who relied on the fierce advance had reached a distance of fifty paces in some positions, and the bows and arrows at this time had sufficient lethality.

There is also the failure rate of artillery, although with the improvement of technology, the service life of the sub-mother cannon is greatly improved, if it is used in small-scale battles, it is almost no longer necessary to consider its failure and life.

Fortunately, Zhao Tianyou made a full estimate in advance, and the massive ammunition that came with the army, as well as a huge number of spare guns and major parts, more than 100 guns had broken down during the day and night shelling.

Those that can be repaired and replaced are dealt with on the spot, and those that cannot be repaired are immediately put aside, and the new artillery in reserve is erected from the new, Rao is such an abundant supply of materials, and the lethality of the Song army's artillery is still declining little by little.

Zhao Tianyou climbed the watchtower, replaced the soldiers whose eyes were already red and swollen, and observed the movements of the besieging Yuan army by the silver moonlight outside the city, as well as the burning flames. At a glance, the offensive did not stop like a tide, but if you look closely, you can find that the sharp spirit of the Yuan army has been greatly reduced, and it refuses to move forward under the roar of the city.

There were too many and too dense corpses that died in front of the battle, which had seriously hindered the movement of the Yuan army, and I don't know who piled up the corpses first and stacked them into small bunkers, and many lightly wounded soldiers hid behind and waited for rescue.

The courage of the soldiers of the Yuan army has been exhausted, and after seeing too many deaths with their own eyes, they often look very indifferent to life and death, and the soldiers on the battlefield are not afraid of life and death, but they have long been numb after seeing too much.

In the whole day of fighting in Bazhou City, many Yuan troops had already found that no matter how hard they tried, they could not establish a solid defense line under the city, and several actions of concentrating their forces to rush to the city were quickly defeated by powerful firepower.

The consequences of the blind attack are getting bigger and bigger, and they are almost impossible to end, and Kublai Khan, who is riding a white horse in military uniform and holding a gilded spear, has a more and more indifferent expression on his face. The news of the death of the seventh prince Aoduchi, after he heard it, he only froze slightly, nodded and said nothing, and continued to ride on horseback to supervise the battle on various fronts.

At certain times yesterday, when these Mongol warriors saw Kublai Khan's guard of honor and guards, they cheered and shouted excitedly, and they were willing to bow down at his feet and kiss his boots. But now, those generals who are weak in command, those soldiers who cower and dare not move forward, do not dare to face him.

"Order, all 100,000 reserve troops are ready for battle, ready to rotate into battle!"
