Yang Tiexin's son, Yang Jing, was a cavalry officer from the "Huashan faction", and at this time he was leading a cavalry battalion to wander around the periphery of the battlefield, looking for an opportunity to attack the artillery positions of the Mongol army.

However, Tulei left a thousand-strong Mongol cavalry to guard near the artillery position. With just over 900 light cavalry (also cuirass and helmets) under his command, Yang Jing was no match for the 1,000 Mongol cavalrymen armed with spears and full body armor.

Therefore, Yang Jing had to take his cavalry battalion around the battlefield, looking for some small units of Mongolian cavalry that had been withdrawn from the battlefield and reorganized.

The Mongol cavalry attacked in turns on the scale of a hundred-man team, and after the impact was completed, they did not engage in hand-to-hand combat, but retreated and regrouped. Sometimes there was a change of horses, so it was necessary to retreat to the rear position. In this process, they are relatively vulnerable to attacks when they are operating in a team of 100 people.

It should be mentioned that on the battlefields of this era (as in other eras), the fighters were not always in combat mode.

Most of the time, they are walking around the battlefield, waiting for orders or supplies, waiting for the enemy to attack, and carrying out various activities such as formation or transformation.

The cavalry, on the other hand, spent much longer on the battlefield, taking up only a fraction of the time they actually spent in battle.

Because they not only have to leave time for themselves to recuperate, but also have to recharge their horses.

Therefore, on the battlefield west of Yiliebao, on the morning of July 17, 1217 Western calendar, a large number of cavalry detachments were scattered and hurried to and fro.

The more than 900 cavalry led by Yang Jing was one of them, and they did not play any banners, nor did they run fast, but moved slowly on the battlefield.

Just as he was looking for the next target he could attack, someone suddenly pointed in one direction and shouted: "Look there, the Mongols' Daxu!" ”

Yang Jing knew that where Daxu was, there must be an officer at the level of the head of ten thousand households!

"Let's take a look!" Yang Jing didn't know that what he found was the main formation of Tuolei. If he knew, he wouldn't dare to lean on.

At this time, there were only two or three hundred cavalry around Tuo Lei - although he had left himself five hundreds, theoretically there should be 500 cavalry. However, these cavalrymen could not surround the mines, and had to hold up the cordon. So they scattered two hundred horsemen, and dozens of horsemen ran around the battlefield to give orders.

And the first to come into contact with Yang Jing's cavalry was the cavalry of the Thousand Guards Guarding the Mines on the periphery. There weren't many people either, because the cordon was wide open, and Yang Jing's cavalry broke through from a point.

The battle took place very suddenly, and the Mongol cavalry on guard finished firing the early warning rockets and rushed forward with their spears.

They were met by a dense rain of bullets, and then by the sabers of the light cavalry. Although the combat effectiveness of the Mongol cavalry was not weak, in the face of the Song army's light cavalry, which had an overwhelming advantage in numbers and muskets, it was still only a mantis arm blocking the car.

After breaking through the warning circle on the periphery of the mine, Yang Jing led the cavalry to rush towards the mine.

At this time, Tuo Lei had just discovered that the situation was wrong, but the Mongolian prince who had been in battle for a long time was not too panicked. He didn't fight with the Song cavalry who suddenly came over, but immediately began to transfer.

His home formation was also made up of cavalry, so it was natural to be able to move.

So Tuo Lei and his guards moved on the battlefield. When he ran, it was tantamount to telling the pursuing Yang Jing that he was a very important big boss.

Yang Jing, who found that he had hit a big fish, of course refused to let go, and led the cavalry to chase after him, and also sent out squads to outflank him from time to time.

However, the cavalry that dragged the mine was good, and it was impossible for Yang Jing's cavalry to really outflank it. Their "outflanking" is really just driving away the tow mines.

It is not easy to organize 900 cavalry to drive the opponent to the designated area! If it was more than a hundred years earlier, when the Great Song Dynasty was still in Kaifeng Prefecture and the capital, there was basically no one in the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty who could do this.

Because this skill can't be learned from the military book, even if you can learn the theory, you really get on the battlefield to protect the chaos. To truly master this skill, it is necessary to carry out frequent safaris - the military aristocracy of the Western Song Dynasty now regarded safaris as their main means of entertainment. As a gentleman, if you don't know how to hunt or polo, you're embarrassed to meet people.

Therefore, Yang Jing is a generation of military nobles (he is a descendant of Yang Zaixing), and he was a good hand at organizing safaris before he "went to Huashan".

After "going to Huashan", he can combine practice with theory and become an excellent ranger officer.

And in his cavalry battalion, almost all the officers were military nobles from the Jiahua Mountain Lecture Hall, and they all mastered the essence of the rangers through safari activities.

Now, of course, it is possible to force the tow mine to the area where the Song army's "gun doctors" are scattered.

Tuo Lei also knew that the cavalry behind his ass was driving him away as prey, but he didn't have a way to get out for a while. There are only more than 200 horsemen around him, and I am afraid that there is no chance of winning if he goes back to fight with more than 800 or nearly 900 horsemen. In case someone is slaughtered, today's battle can be seen to be lost.

However, he was also careful to avoid the Song cannons as much as possible, and he also ran towards several groups of Mongol cavalry who were circling around the Song army musketeers and the Persian undead army.

As long as the two sides are a division, Tuo Lei will not be afraid of the pursuers behind him.

But he also made a mistake in his busyness, and for a while he actually forgot that there were many gun doctors in the grass nearby!

In fact, these spearmen are not having a good time now, they are being attacked by several Mongol hundreds-the Mongol cavalry that Tulei saw are actually searching for scattered spearmen in the grass.

However, the search effect is not very good, because the gun doctors are squatting in the grass to shoot cold guns, and it is difficult to find them if they don't get close, and if they get close, they will be bulleted. To make matters worse, the Song army's spear phalanx behind the gun doctor was advancing forward, wanting to support the gun doctor and the musket phalanx that was being besieged.

At this time, Tuo Lei crashed in with more than 200 panicked Mongol cavalry.

And behind Tuolei, a tall Mongolian warrior still carried the Sulu ingot given by the Great Khan...... This guy is probably afraid of the snipers of the Song Army, and he doesn't know where the big men of Great Mongolia are, right?

Tuo Lei was also negligent for a while, and he didn't look back, otherwise he would have put the big bag away.

He was negligent, and he didn't have eyes in the back of his head, but the gun doctor who put the cold gun in the grass was clever. Everyone is a master who can write poetry and fight black guns. As soon as you see the black big man, you know that there is a big man.

Therefore, the gunmen within a hundred or dozens of paces around the mine were all aiming their muskets at him. There was a crackling burst of gunfire, and the poor tow mine was suddenly beaten into a blood gourd, and before he could even scream, he fell off his horse.

The Mongol warriors behind him couldn't care about the gunmen, and they all rolled off their horses and rushed to Tuolei's side.

Towing the mine was no longer good, he was shot four or five times, the blood flowed all over the ground, staining the surrounding grass red, and he couldn't speak, and there were a few gurgling noises in his throat, and he was very unwilling to swallow his breath.

Meng Ge, Kublai Khan, and Hülegü are all orphans without a father. But the worst thing is Ali Buge, who competed with Kublai Khan for the throne in history, and he still has two years to be born!

Now as soon as Tuo Lei died, he was directly erased...... It's so pathetic.

……

The death of Tuo Lei did not immediately cause the collapse of the Mongol army, because not many people knew.

Now the Mongol army on the battlefield is divided into three parts, one part is the Persian undead army commanded by Belgutai. A part of the Mongol artillery and baggage troops, as well as a thousand cavalry troops guarding them, were commanded by Akatai, the deputy operator of the tow mines. Another part is the cavalry under the personal command of Tuo Lei.

So now it is only the cavalry that has lost its command that tows the mine, but these cavalry are now scattered and do not need to be ordered by the tow mine at any time.

Therefore, his death did not become a turning point in the battlefield situation, and the fighting between the two armies on the battlefield continued.

What really caused the turning point on the battlefield was the pikemen of the Song army and the cavalry led by Yang Jing, who joined the expulsion of the Mongol cavalry at the same time.

These platoon cavalry and pikemen were not enough to defeat the Mongol cavalry, which was composed of dozens or more than 100 cavalry, but their actions interfered with the Mongol cavalry's search for the spearman.

The spearmen, who had been freed from the pursuit of the Mongol cavalry, began to use accurate shots against the Mongol cavalry, and soon drove them away.

After driving away these Mongol cavalry, the Song cavalry, spearmen, and pikemen were finally free to support their own musketeers, who had been beaten to the brink of collapse.

However, this kind of reinforcement, which is a little belated, is of little significance to Guo Kang.

His body had been pierced by a Persian spear, his hands were clutching the barrel of the spear tightly, his face was full of unwilling expressions, the strength of his whole body was really slowly passing, and there was only one figure in his mind, which was his sister-in-law Huang.

"How nice it would be if I were the eldest son in the family, my sister-in-law is so beautiful......" This is Guo Kang's thought in the last moments of his life!

Guo Kang's death, as well as the deaths of two or three hundred other Song army musketeers, were still valuable, and their sacrifices bought precious time for the follow-up troops to attack and deploy. At the same time, it also greatly depleted the morale of the pikemen of the Persian undead army.

There are so many people in their own family, and they have the advantage of the blade, they can't defeat these Song troops...... Song Jun is too strong, right?

The catastrophe of the Persian undead army soon came, and the first thing that caused them heavy losses was of course the trump card of the Song army - the gun doctor army!

A murderer who has been sleeping with an arquebus since he was seven or eight years old has a murderous nature, so he has to pay it back! Waves of accurate projectiles flew towards the warriors of the Persian undead army, killing them in an instant.

This was followed by the pounce of the Song army's pikemen! These pikemen did not form a large formation of several thousand men, but scattered into a phalanx, outflanking the rear of the undead army from the left and right.

Where can the undead army, which has long been close to collapse, resist? In an instant, it collapsed, like an ant's nest in water, tumbling backwards.

Temujin's younger brother Belgutai also retreated in panic, and ran to the artillery position where Jochitai was located with his own soldiers, and when he saw the pale Jochitai, he asked: "Where is Yenayan (the honorific name of Tuolei)?" ”

Jochitai replied in a trembling voice: "It's okay, but it's also gone......

"What's missing?"

The sound on the battlefield was noisy, and Belgutai did not understand it for a while.

"But it's gone! He was killed by the Song people's muskets......"

"What?" Belgutai exclaimed, "But that Yan is the Khan's favorite child!" ”

"It's gone!" Jochitai cried with a sad face, "King Belgutai, we have defeated the battle, and we have lost the face of Yenayan...... I can only go and ask the Great Khan for guilt! ”

Without the tow mine, Jochitai has no intention of fighting again, and the Persian undead army in Belgutai has suffered heavy losses, and if it continues to fight, it will have to be thrown into the ten thousand households that drag the mine to fight...... And this ten thousand households, according to the rules set by Temujin, should be inherited by the three sons of Tulei, Jochitai is Tulei's brother-in-law, Meng Ge, Kublai Khan, and Hulegu are all his nephews, and he is of course unwilling to put all his nephews' property together now.

Belgutai also sighed, he didn't have the confidence to fight anymore.

The musketeers of the Song army are too powerful, and the undead army is no match for them at all!

……

Jochitai and Belgutai did not meet the Great Khan Temujin until two days later.

Temujin Khan had been distracted a day earlier, so instead of moving with the army, he led his cowardly army to stop and wait for his beloved son to tow the thunder.

But I waited and waited, but I didn't wait for the mines, but I waited for the gray face and crying Belgutai and Jochitai.

"Where's the tow mine?" The Great Khan of Mongolia asked.

"Great, Great Khan......" When Jochitai saw Temujin, he immediately burst into tears, and he couldn't say anything.

Belgutai was calmer, and knelt down for his brother after falling off the horse, "Big brother, little brother asks you for ...... guilt"

Please? What's your sin? Even if you are guilty, you don't need to ask for guilt, I am your brother, and I will definitely cover it up, is it......

Temujin's heart was pumping, could it be that the mine was out of the situation?

Seriously, he wasn't sad at all when he heard the news of Jochi's death...... But Tuo Lei is different, that's his own son! Or the youngest of his favorite sisters-in-law! That's Temujin's heart!

"Big brother, drag him, drag him to Song Dog with a musket!" Belgutai cried and said, "It's all my fault, I should stop him and prevent him from coming forward to command!" ”

When Temujin heard the bad news, his eyes were dark, and he muttered, "Tow the mine, drag the mine...... I fought with them! ”

After finishing speaking, his body shook and he was about to faint, and the cowardly warriors around him rushed up and supported Temujin. Belgutai also rushed up, hugged Temujin, and cried: "Great Khan, you have to stop, Great Mongolia can't live without you!" ”
