Chapter 330: Bloody Methods
Chapter 330: Bloody Methods
Kublai Khan sat in a wide carriage surrounded by four young and capable guards, and the four tall horses in front of him were trained to run fast and steady, and the people sitting in the carriage did not feel the slightest bump.
The carriage moved smoothly and briskly, but Kublai Khan's heart was not at peace for a moment, what kind of force suddenly beat the brave and good Mongolian warriors into a soup chicken with no fighting spirit, and the appearance of repeated defeats, so that the warriors who have been full of pride and pride since childhood could not raise their heads.
The Song army had just defeated his sixth son Ai Ya Chi in Bazhou, and had put his head on the knife to show the public, this humiliation could only be erased by blood, although he had not yet reached Bazhou, he had decided to kill all the lives in Bazhou City to avenge Ai Yachi.
"Qi Qi Great Khan, the entire strength of the Song army shrank and Bazhou City, the scale is about 100,000, carrying countless artillery, yesterday and Aiya Chi Department fought fiercely, and the cannon rumbled all night."
"Okay, continue to collect intelligence, our scouts must be all over the fifty miles around Bazhou, and we can't let go of the slightest disturbance, and we must also find out all the actions of the Song army in Bazhou these days.
By the way, whether Qingzhou and Cangzhou left the Song army to garrison, it is also necessary to understand clearly, which side has the ability to support the Song army in Bazhou, and it must be clearly investigated. ”
"Yes. Sweat! ”
"Where is the iron contempt, go and call him quickly!"
Kublai Khan called his youngest son, the young Tie Michi is only 20 years old this year, but he has grown into a brave warrior, has killed the enemy many times in actual battles, and now has commanded 8,000 heavy cavalry, which is the elite of the Yuan army.
These 8,000 heavy cavalry is the treasure of Kublai Khan's pressure on the bottom of the box, every war horse is a thousand choices, every warrior is a warrior selected one out of ten thousand, is the sharpest and most courageous weapon in the hands of Kublai Khan, and has been given the title of invincible in previous conquests.
In the early days, the equipment of the Mongol heavy cavalry was very rudimentary, and the horses were only selected from the relatively thin Mongolian horses, which were relatively tall breeds, in order to increase the load, and the heavy cavalry had to have considerable impact power in order to complete the tasks assigned to them.
During Genghis Khan's several expeditions to the west, the invincible Mongol cavalry clashed with the European armored knights several times, and the silver-glittering and well-equipped high-headed knights frightened the Mongols at the beginning. They all thought that the knight troops who appeared in such a handsome appearance must be quite powerful, so they once argued about how to fight them, and they were forced back thirty miles without a battle.
Being forced to retreat is the record of the Europeans, and the truth of the matter is that the Mongols felt that these troops were not easy to kill, so it was better to take a step back and turn the other way to attack another city. At that time, the group of heavy sword knights in shining armor were very happy, and felt that the Mongol cavalry that had killed all over Europe was very thin, and the soldiers' military uniforms and armor were dirty and rudimentary, and they were simply a rabble, and they were scared away without even fighting.
One of their generals immediately gave the order to chase after the Yuan army, and after they had ridden thirty miles quickly, the heavy sword knights were exhausted and out of breath, and their tall horses were weakened.
At this time, the Yuan army was about to go from another way, but it turned out that these heavy cavalry were chasing after them, and they were fierce for a while, and they did not retreat, and almost before the horses of these heavy swords stopped, they launched an attack on them.
The heavy cavalry of the Yuan army in terms of equipment, the size of the horses, and the appearance of the soldiers, compared with these, they are simply a group of people called Huazi, but after the two fought, the Mongols found that these heavy sword cavalry only looked mighty.
The polished bright armor on their bodies, the bow and arrow of the Mongolian cavalry could not penetrate the roots, and even the shaft of the arrow would break when shot on the armor, but the attack methods of these heavy armored knights were too weak, and the heavy sword seemed to be brave when wielded, but the arm was sore after a few strokes.
The Mongol cavalry began to shoot their horses with arrows, and where the knights were not covered with armor, the Mongol heavy cavalry broke up their formations, and the light cavalry nimbly attacked their weakly defended warriors.
At that time, the heavy armored knights, who were known as invincible opponents all over Europe, were killed by the simple and flexible tactics of the Mongols and could not find the north, and the knights who lost their horses even lost their heavy swords, and when they wanted to escape quickly, they could only take off the heavy armor on their bodies.
However, once they lost the protection of heavy armor, they were immediately shot into hedgehogs by flying arrows, and this one-sided war shattered the Europeans' fascination with heavy armor and heavy swords, and they also realized that the range of bows and arrows must be increased.
The Mongolian cavalry learned how to make metal armor from Europeans, and combined with their own habits, they effectively combined metal and cowhide to create this invincible heavy armored cavalry.
Not to mention the warrior with armor all over his body on horseback, that is, the fierce war horse under his crotch is covered with armor, from the head of the horse to the tail of the horse, there is corresponding protection, only four horses have no armor on their legs.
If this team participates in the battle, unless there is a chasm in front of them that cannot be bridged, they will be able to keep rushing forward until they get to the bottom of the battle. The armed forces of any country or force probably do not want to become their enemies, and when faced with such a murderous heavy cavalry, the first thing that comes to mind is usually how to escape.
If the Song army had the courage to go out of the city to meet the enemy, Kublai Khan arranged for his youngest son Tie Wuchi to prepare to take the lead, of course, if the Song army did not dare to come out to fight, then he had another way. An order had already been quietly issued, and a unit had to carry out it alone, and when he knew that Aiya Chi had died in battle, the long-lost desire to kill rose in his mind, so he ordered the capture of the Han people along the way.
These Han people have actually been under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty for some years, and the land of Yanyun and the sixteen states has been in war for many years, and the ordinary people in the territory have lived more difficult, but there are still many people who cannot leave the place where they were born and raised, and they are struggling to survive in the cracks.
From a strict definition, the ordinary people here have experienced the rule of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin State, the Liao State and the current Yuan Dynasty, and it is difficult to tell which country they are, but they also have the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang.
Hundreds of thousands of troops approached the border of Bazhou from several directions, and there was a very strange phenomenon, that is, after the Mengyuan army, when the ordinary people along the way patted their chests and just let out a long breath, a Yuan army team with a long rope came.
Men and women, young and old, were all driven out to gather, and every fifty people were tied together by a long rope, and those who were one foot deep and one foot shallow were driven to Bazhou on foot. One peaceful village after another, just moments later, turned into a purgatory on earth, full of babies and young children who had fallen to their deaths, people who could not be tied to a rope, and they did not spare a single one.
