A remnant of the sun sprinkled down the edge of the Great Wall on everyone. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xu Chen didn't answer Bo Yan in a hurry, but looked in the direction where the sun was shining, and he didn't know when it was already golden and sunk, the sky was rendered with colorful colors, and the earth was smeared with a layer of blood-red that shocked the soul.

The Cangshan Mountain, which meandered forward, was shrouded in the light of the setting sun at this time, and the original lush green had completely turned blood-red, as if it had been watered with blood.

The mountains are like the sea, and the remnant sun is like blood!

Xu Chen laughed lightly, and made a gesture of invitation to Bo Yan, and the guards around him had already stepped forward, all pointing at the Mongolian generals who were still holding blades in their hands beside Bo Yan. These thousand-sours and centurions subconsciously looked back, looking at Boyan's gaze was very complicated, and there was even a trace of expectation, obviously expecting Boyan to change his mind, and it was a big deal to die here.

"The battle is over, Mongolia is defeated." Boyan said in a deep voice, his voice immediately lowered, obviously to the Mongolian generals, "Put down the blade, I don't want to say this sentence again, there is no need for senseless sacrifices, Mongolia has tens of thousands of troops in Youyan, there must always be someone who can go back alive, and the rest of these people, even if they endure humiliation and burden, they must go back alive in the end, we can die generously, but there must be someone to continue the Mongolian bloodline." ”

The generals couldn't help but bow their heads slightly, although they were reluctant to admit it in their hearts, but they all knew that what Boyan said was right. After this battle, at least the main force of Mongolian Youyan has been declared annihilated, even if the soldiers on the Great Wall can survive in the hands of the Ming army, there are not many people left, and this is already all that the Mongols of Youyan can have left.

Now the only possible victory of Mongolia in various battlefields is the battlefield where Kublai Khan himself sits in Shanxi, but now with the defeat of Mongolia in Youyan, Youyan's Ming army can outflank the back of Kublai Khan's main army at any time, even if Kublai Khan defeats the Ming Dynasty, it will inevitably pay a heavy price, and it can only be said that although the victory is still defeated, without the support of Youyan, even if Kublai Khan can really win a big victory, he will have to withdraw his troops in the end.

What's more, Kublai Khan faced Ye Yingwu, the only one who made all the Mongolian generals fail, and he was also the founding monarch of the Ming Dynasty, in the face of such an opponent, even if Boyan and others firmly believed that the Great Khan would win, they did not think that Ye Yingwu and the Ming Dynasty would be greatly injured, so even if the Ming army was defeated and still covered up, Kublai Khan would still suffer heavy losses if he wanted to return to the grassland safely.

At that time, there will really not be many young strong men left for the Mongols to recover, so if the Mongolian nation wants to maintain the fire of the comeback in the future, the only way is for more young strong men to live, even if they live humiliatingly as prisoners of war, at least they are still alive, at least the blood of the golden eagles on the grassland is still flowing in their veins, at least they are still Mongolians.

Now, the war is rotten, and what the Mongols need to consider is not how to kill themselves, but how to protect themselves as much as possible. This is also the reason why Boyan finally made up his mind not to leave, after all, these Mongols who were about to become captives still need someone to lead them, and they need someone to lead them to persist in the dark.

Boyan asked himself if he should also take on such a responsibility for bringing the Mongol soldiers to this Jedi.

The surrounding Mongolian generals slowly lowered their blades, and the Ming soldiers quickly stepped forward to tie them all up, and with the surrender of Boyan, the Mongolian soldiers who were still resisting on the Great Wall also put down their swords and guns one after another to get out of the way.

Xu Chen carried a bloody mace and stood on the steps of the ruins of the enemy building, the steps under his feet were covered with the corpses of the Ming and Mongolian soldiers, and the blood was still flowing down the steps, merging into the potholes below, making the small potholes under the steps have become veritable pools of blood.

This step is the longest step on this section of the Great Wall, and it is also the focus of the Ming army's defense after the gap was lost.

The two figures appeared side by side in the gap, and the soldiers of the Ming army standing on the Great Wall slammed the spears in their hands on the ground at the same time, making a neat sound to show their respect for the commander.

Wang Anjie, the general of the two Huai armies, and Wang Dayong, the supervisor of the town navy, walked up to the city wall together, and soon they saw Xu Chen standing on the steps and Boyan who looked a little embarrassed beside Xu Chen. Wang Dayong couldn't help but shake his head lightly and looked at Wang Anjie beside him: "I didn't expect that this last and greatest credit was taken away by your two Huai army." ”

Wang Anjie couldn't deny it, just smiled and looked up at Xu Chen, and also looked at Wang Yizhou beside Xu Chen, and only nodded slightly after a long time, obviously expressing praise for the First Brigade for being able to make such a feat under the noses of the Mongolian Tartars. Without waiting for Wang Anjie and Wang Dayong to step forward, behind the two of them, Gu Chao had already rushed out first, and the soldiers of the First Brigade, who had just hit the hillside like crazy, also followed closely behind Gu Chao and rushed forward from the left and right sides.

Xu Chen, Wang Yizhou and the others also showed a look of surprise on their faces, obviously the brothers of the first brigade of the two Huai armies had not thought that they would be able to see each other alive since the moment they separated. Xu Chen casually threw down his beloved mace and strode down the steps, while in front of and behind him, the soldiers who had survived a hundred battles also rushed out frantically, cheering and hugging each other tightly with Gu Chao at the bottom of the steps.

"Ahh Xu Chen and Gu Chao, two partners who are not usually familiar with each other and even have some mismatches with each other, hugged each other tightly, and the tone of some hoarse voices was only a single syllable, but it was enough to show the hot blood and heartfelt excitement in the chests of the two people.

Without waiting for Xu Chen and Gu Chao to separate, the surrounding soldiers had already rushed up, lifted the two of them up, and threw them directly into the sky, in the smiling eyes of Wang Anjie and others, Xu Chen and Gu Chao kept screaming and were thrown up and caught by countless hands.

It can be said that the officers and men of the First Brigade have heartfelt gratitude and support for the brigade commander and supervisor who led them to complete this mythical attack and outflanking. Celebrate this victory of nine deaths and one life, celebrate this hard-won victory, celebrate this victory that has determined the overall situation and realized the dream that has been unfulfilled in China for 300 years.

Wang Anjie and Wang Dayong glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing.

And Boyan, who was standing on the steps, couldn't help but sigh softly, looked up at the sunset in the distance, I don't know when, after the sunset has completely sunk into the distant mountains, it has disappeared, leaving only the sky full of Caixia, but Boyan knows very well that without this round of golden crow, no matter how gorgeous and dazzling Caixia will dissipate without a trace in an instant.

Pulled to reality by the cheers of the soldiers of the Ming army, Boyan shook his head.

The three-hundred-year-old tilted sky of the Ming Dynasty has been rebuilt on countless corpses.

But the sky in Mongolia has collapsed, I don't know if you have the ability to lift the collapsed sky again?

――――――――――――――――――

On the banks of the water.

Seeing what the Mongols took out, Ye Yingwu couldn't help frowning.

In just a few hours, the Mongols had set up hundreds of boats, if that could be called a boat. In fact, these boats are the most common sheepskin rafts on the side of the big river, sheepskin rafts, with sheepskin as bags, blowing solid and floating in the water (author's note: "Song History, Wang Yande Biography"), is one of the most important tools for the two sides of the river, especially in this era when there is no Yellow River bridge or even a pontoon bridge across the Yellow River can not be established, ordinary people want to frequently travel between the banks of the Yellow River, naturally mainly rely on sheepskin rafts.

The Ming army only prepared more than ten ships for the Mongols on the shore of Qinshui, and what they did was naturally to lure the Mongols to attack the Qinshui side, but each time there was no way to transport enough troops, and in the end they just came to die in vain. However, it is clear that the Mongols had already made a plan, and that the boats that had been collecting the river were just to hide people's eyes, and these sheepskin rafts were the real means of crossing the river.

Although the sheepskin raft is huge, it is very convenient to transport and carry, and the sheepskin and cowhide that act as airbags below do not occupy a place, and only need to be inflated on the spot for use, and the rest of the wood and rope used to fix it are also very convenient to carry, and these things are the necessities of camping in peacetime, even if they are not used to make sheepskin rafts, they must be carried on the march and fighting.

Otherwise, the Mongols would not have been able to make so many sheepskin rafts in such a short time.

Ye Yingwu put down his clairvoyance, Yang Bao, Zhang Shijie and others beside him all showed solemn expressions on their faces, obviously the sudden hand of the Mongols made even them who had been in battle for a long time couldn't help but be taken aback, not to mention the Ming soldiers who were talking about it under the hillside. However, Yang Bao and Zhang Shijie still restrained the stunned expressions on their faces for the first time and looked at Ye Yingwu.

"Mongolian tartars have a lot of cowhides and sheepskins," Ye Yingwu chuckled, "Aren't you afraid of blowing the sky?" ”

Hearing His Majesty's very relaxed voice, Zhang Shijie and Yang Bao couldn't help but chuckle, Your Majesty has never been a big talker, and the two of them have been by His Majesty's side for a long time, if Your Majesty is really worried, he will not hide it in front of the two, since Ye Yingwu has a smile on his face, it means that even if he is not confident, he can be regarded as sure.

"I really underestimated the Mongolian Tartars and Kublai Khan, but did they think that with this sheepskin raft, they could cross this water safely?" Ye Yingwu said lightly, turning his head to look at Zhang Shijie, "How are the preparations on the shore of Qinshui?" ”

Zhang Shijie hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the trench has been dug on the shore in accordance with Your Majesty's will, and a large number of antlers have been placed in front of the trench, and there is also a layer of fence and antlers between the trench and the camp, and a large number of pits have been arranged outside the camp, and earth-shaking thunder has been buried. ”

Ye Yingwu nodded, and ordered in a deep voice: "Order the ships of the Navy Division to quickly avoid upstream after completing this round of shelling, and not to go head-to-head with the Mongolian fleet." ”

A herald quickly ran out to convey the order, and Zhang Shijie and Yang Bao also snorted knowingly. Even if it is a brave tiger, it is helpless in the face of the wolves on the grassland, and the two warships of the sailor now look proud, but once they are surrounded by hundreds of sheepskin rafts, it is difficult to say which will win or lose, these two warships are the treasures at the bottom of the box, of course, they can't be taken out and tested at will. What's more, from a purely selfish point of view, Yang Bao and the others didn't want to watch the two gunboats of the sailor block the Mongolian Tartars, so that the merits would be all the sailors'.

Ye Yingwu didn't care about the changes in the expressions of Zhang Shijie, Yang Bao and the others around him, but calmly continued to give orders: "All crossbowmen and firecrackers enter the trench, ready to fire at the enemy at any time, pay attention to hitting people and not attacking ships." The airbags under this sheepskin raft are made of sheepskin or cowhide, soft but very tough, not to mention, even if one of them is broken, the rest is enough to support it from sinking, not to mention that this sheepskin raft will not be difficult to move forward because it does not have an airbag. ”

After a pause, Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand and pointed to the river beach below the hillside and said: "The river beach here is the place where the water flows back, the surrounding is the most gentle, and the river beach leads directly to the camp in front, which is the shortest road, and it is also the focus of our defense, but this river beach is just below the hillside here, and the artillery and flying thunder cannons of the Ming Dynasty can be erected on the hillside, and directly bombard the Mongolian army ashore from the flank, which is the most unfavorable point for the Mongolian Tartars, the Mongols want to rush up to the river beach to attack the camp, It needs to be covered by our powerful firepower. So we realized that this beach was important and easy to defend, and the Mongol Tartars could see it. ”

"Your Majesty means that the Mongol Tatars will not choose to attack from here?" Zhang Shijie frowned, subconsciously looked around, before this, in fact, whether it was Zhang Shijie and Yang Bao, or the rest of the generals and those staff, they had not considered this problem, after all, there was only this beach suitable for the Mongolian army to cross the river, which is why the Ming army directly set up the camp behind this shoal after mastering the dynamics of the Mongolian army.

Because the rest of the place is either a cliff, or a rocky beachhead where the water is whistling, not to mention a sheepskin raft, even the clipper of the sailor does not dare to stay too much in such a place when he does not know the hydrological situation, after all, if he touches any underwater stone, he may run aground or even capsize the ship, and even this landing site has been affirmed by the generals of the sailor division, and it is absolutely authoritative.

When the Mongol army first arrived, it was directly aimed at this beachhead, which proved that the Ming army's guess was not wrong. But now that Ye Yingwu said it, Zhang Shijie, Yang Bao and others suddenly felt that something was indeed wrong, because the topography of this beachhead was really favorable to the Ming army, so most of the soldiers of the Ming army were confident about this big battle.

However, being beneficial to the Ming army means that it is very unfavorable to the Mongols, with Kublai Khan's command ability to the army, it is naturally impossible to let his precious soldiers rush up one after another to send them to death, especially the number of sheepskin rafts carried by the Mongolian army is limited after all, and the fact that arrows and firearms have no way to hurt the sheepskin raft does not mean that artillery and flying thunder cannons are also helpless against it.

Directly exposed to the artillery of the Ming army in this way, even the gate tower on the city wall can be directly torn to pieces, let alone a mere sheepskin raft. Therefore, even if Kublai Khan did whatever it took to attack the Ming army, he had to consider the question of how to continue the offensive after he did not have so many sheepskin rafts. So for Kublai Khan, it wasn't really a question with a definite answer, but more of a multiple-choice question.

He could have made a choice between risking the search for the rest of the landing sites and the doomed direct landing, and perhaps the rest of the generals would hope for a miracle because of caution and other reasons, but Zhang Shijie knew very well that this was definitely not Kublai Khan's style.

If Kublai Khan really chose to storm the frontal beachhead with a large army, he would not be Kublai Khan.

"Your Majesty, do you need to mobilize troops to defend the rocky beaches around you?" Zhang Shijie's voice was a little hurried, the Mongolian Tatars on the opposite side were about to cross the river, if they were not sure about the direction of the Mongolian Tatars' attack, it would be dangerous for the Ming Dynasty.

These Mongolian Tartars are no better than the ones that Da Ming has dealt with before, these are the elite of the Mongolian headquarters, they are all transferred back from the bloody battle on the Western Front, they are definitely difficult opponents, once they are allowed to go ashore, then the result is not something that Da Ming can control single-handedly.
