Chapter 512: The Final Battle (13)

A tear seeped out from the corner of his eye, and Kublai Khan waved his big hand to wipe away the tears that had not yet flowed, whipped the war horse under his crotch, and galloped forward. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The news that the Habichi brothers were killed and the Mongolian army after the 100,000 was almost completely annihilated, Kublai Khan knew it at the first time, at this moment nearly 250,000 soldiers had passed Chenzhuang and were still evacuating in the direction of Yishui County, Kublai Khan would never stop in Chenzhuang, Chenzhuang had nothing, and there was a camp that had not been completely demolished.

It's different when you return to Yishui County, at least there is still a small amount of grain and grass in the county, which can maintain the temporary expenses of the army, you must know that this hasty evacuation, most of the grain and grass are left in the camp, Kublai Khan dare not imagine that if there is no support of grain and grass, the army of more than 200,000 will soon collapse completely.

The county seat of Juxian County is about two hundred miles away from the county seat of Yishui County, according to the fastest speed of the Mongolian iron cavalry, it will take more than a day to arrive at most Yishui County, but the new annexed army will not arrive so quickly, especially the foot soldiers of the new attached army, it will take at least two days or more, fortunately, many sergeants still have food that can last for two days, and they can stick to Yishui County, but they must not delay time.

Prince Hedan once proposed that the Mongolian iron cavalry should withdraw as quickly as possible, so that the new annexed army would follow behind and evacuate, so that it could more securely ensure the smooth evacuation of the Mongolian iron cavalry, but this proposal was categorically rejected by Kublai Khan, and at such a critical moment, Kublai Khan would not abandon any sergeant, he knew very well that if the new annexed army was abandoned at this time, then the Great Yuan Imperial Court would not be able to obtain the submission and support of the new annexed army in the future.

With the rise of the Ming army, the new attached army sergeants in many places have experienced huge fluctuations in their hearts.

Kublai Khan had the foresight to not abandon the new annex at the critical moment, and he would be able to get more in the future.

The Ming army will definitely pursue, so Kublai Khan must suppress the sadness in his heart and lead the army to Yishui County as soon as possible.

The three princes of Hedan, Habichi and Tacha'er are the most brave and warlike princes in the court of the Great Yuan, and now Habichi among the three has been killed, and the remaining Prince Hedan is by Kublai Khan's side, and the army led by Tachaer is in the Mobei grassland, staring at Haidu's every move.

Losing Habichi, Kublai Khan felt very empty in his heart, this feeling was different from when he lost Boyan and Ashu, he had completely foreseen the danger, the Mongolian iron cavalry was indeed very brave, but in the face of the sharp artillery of the Ming army, the courage of the sky lost its effect, and there was no place to play at all.

If this situation continues, the Mongolian army will not be able to resist the attack of the Ming army, under the bombardment of the Ming artillery, continuous failure, the final outcome is that the Mongolian army is slowly wiped out, and finally forced to return to the Mobei grassland.

Kublai Khan must get rid of this passive situation, he has thought of the next step, the army retreated to Yishui County for a little rest, and then quickly pulled out, back to Dadu, as for Shandong, for the time being, even Hebei can give up, now the most important thing is to preserve strength, find a way to deal with the Ming army and artillery.

This time, Kublai Khan really saw the artillery of the Ming army, not to mention how lethal the artillery was, just that kind of momentum made it difficult for the sergeants to resist.

There must be a way to deal with it, but the current Kublai Khan's heart is very chaotic, and he can't think of it for the time being, and there will definitely be a chance to make a comeback, but it will take time and wait patiently.

Therefore, even if he knew the news of the death of the Habichi brothers, Kublai Khan had to hold back, and he had to lead the army to quickly withdraw in the direction of Yishui County, and after the scouts detected the news, the Ming army had begun to pursue in the direction of Chenzhuang.

It was completely dark.

The exhausted Mongolian sergeants can finally rest, but they can't rest for too long, according to one of the emperors, at three o'clock, the army will be pulled out and quickly evacuated in the direction of Yishui County.

The temporary Chinese military tent has been set up a long time ago, Kublai Khan's expression is very bad, sitting in the Chinese military tent, without his permission, no one is allowed to enter the Chinese military tent at this moment.

Prince Hedan hurriedly came to the outside of the Chinese military tent, and the guards guarding the door, seeing Prince Hedan, turned around and entered the inside of the Chinese military tent after saluting with fists.

The guard quickly came out and gently pulled back the curtains.

Prince Hedan nodded at the guards and went straight to the inside of the Chinese military tent.

"Brother Hedan, it's so late, I didn't think about resting, but I came here, there must be something big, don't hesitate to do anything, just say it."

Hedan nodded and spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister still insists on Bai Ri's suggestion, let the Mongolian iron cavalry evacuate as quickly as possible, and the new annexed army also evacuates at the fastest speed, if the Mongolian iron cavalry always has to obey the speed of the new annexed army, for the entire Mongolian iron cavalry, it is a huge drag, the minister has just got information from the scouts, the Ming army has followed the pursuit, the Ming army is almost all cavalry, the speed of its pursuit is very fast, if the evacuation process let the Ming army catch up, the consequences are unimaginable...

The worry that Hedan said had actually been bothering Kublai Khan, and he knew very well that according to the marching speed of the new annexed sergeant, maybe the army would really be caught up by the Ming army, and at that time, I am afraid that regret would not have much effect, but at this time, the new annexed army must not be abandoned.

"Brother Hedan, I understand what you mean, see if I can't give up the new annexed army."

"Your Majesty, the minister did not say to give up the new annexed army, the minister suggested, the Mongolian iron cavalry first arrived in Yishui County, and then waited for the new annexed army in Yishui County, in an extraordinary period, even if it is the foot of the new annexed army, it is necessary to march at the fastest speed, tomorrow at this time, the minister is expected to be able to reach Yishui County."

Kublai Khan was silent, he originally wanted to ask, what if the new annex army was caught up by the Ming army, but this question is very boring, Hedan's suggestion is correct, the Mongolian iron cavalry blindly accommodates the new annex army, and a more terrible situation may appear.

After a while, Kublai Khan finally spoke.

"Brother Hedan, just do as you say, but the person who leads the evacuation of the new annexed army must be strong."

"The minister is willing to personally lead the new annexed army to evacuate."

"You can't, I still need you to lead the Mongolian iron cavalry to fight."

He Dan's body trembled slightly, and he lowered his head and stopped talking.

The rest is Wuliang Hetai, but Kublai Khan couldn't bear it, he knew that Wuliang Hetai had been in a bad mood after Ashu was killed, and at this time let Wuliang Hetai lead the new annexed army to evacuate, which meant abandoning it.

Besides, Kublai Khan is no longer particularly at ease with Wuliang Hetai, this time Wuliang Hetai followed him Kublai Khan's expedition, and he was almost silent from beginning to end, without saying anything, nor did he put forward many suggestions, which shows that he is still angry about the death of Ashu, and if he asks Wuliang Hetai to lead the new annex army to break off, the ghost knows what will happen.

Kublai Khan waved his hand and motioned to Hedan to go and make arrangements, as for the generals who led the evacuation of the new annexed army, he still needed to tear it apart seriously, and there were marshals and heads of ten thousand households in the army, and one of them could also be selected to lead.

Prince Hedan left the Chinese military tent and went to deploy.

In just a quarter of an hour, Su Wei came to report, and the head of ten thousand households and Marshal Wu Liang asked to see him.

Kublai Khan was very surprised, he had basically identified the general who would lead the evacuation of the new annexed army.

When Wuliang Hetai entered the Chinese military tent, Kublai Khan's expression had returned to calm.

"Wuliang Hetai, it's so late, is there anything wrong?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate for the Mongolian Iron Cavalry to evacuate with the new annexed army, the Mongolian Iron Cavalry should be evacuated first, and the new attached army will follow, if the Mongolian Iron Cavalry and the new annexed army are evacuated together, it will definitely make the march even slower. . . ."

Kublai Khan nodded slightly, in fact, many people can see this situation, and Wuliang Hetai finally stood up at this time and put forward a suggestion, which is also very good.

"If I think about it, there are indeed a lot of drawbacks to evacuating like this."

As soon as Kublai Khan finished speaking, Wuliang Hetai clenched his fists and spoke again.

"Your Majesty, the minister begs to lead the new annexed army to break off...

Kublai Khan looked at Wuliang Hetai, he did not hide his surprise, Habichi led 100,000 soldiers to break the queen, blocking the pursuit of the Ming army, the end was tragic, Hedan and Wuliang Hetai and others also knew, in this case, Wuliang Hetai actually took the initiative to ask Ying, willing to lead the new annex army to break off, what does this mean.

For a while, the thought of guilt appeared in Kublai Khan's heart.

"Wuliang Hetai, you don't have to lead the new annex army after the break, I consider someone else to take the lead, and you still follow my side."

"Your Majesty, after the minister begged to lead the new annexed army, the minister thought about it carefully, the shadow of being captured by the Ming army, the minister has not gotten rid of, the minister needs to fight with the Ming army, the minister knows that the Ming army's artillery is very sharp, but the minister thinks that under the situation of the Ming army's rapid pursuit, it is impossible to carry artillery, so that the minister can lead the army to fight with the Ming army. . . ."

Kublai Khan waved his hand.

"Wuliang Hetai, I don't want to fight the Ming army in Shandong, I need to protect the army, do you know?"

"The minister understands that what the minister said will only fight when the Ming army pursues in front of him."

Kublai Khan looked at the Wuliang Hetai and stopped talking.

In fact, if Wuliang Hetai can lead the new annex army to evacuate, it is the best candidate, Hedan must command the Mongolian iron cavalry to evacuate, arrive at Yishui County as soon as possible, and after a short rest, withdraw to the direction of Jinan Mansion, and the rest is Wuliang Hetai.

The speed of the march of the new annexed army is obviously not as good as that of the pursuing Ming army, which means that the new annexed army is very likely to start a fierce battle with the Ming army, and it is impossible to say who wins and who loses, but Kublai Khan knows that if the two sides really clash, the probability of the defeat of the new annexed army occupies more than eighty percent.
