Chapter 509 Critical Place

Double knives are much more difficult to practice than single knives, connoisseurs know that a single knife is difficult to defend the left arm, and a double knife and two ears are difficult to prevent.

Zhu Huan's double knife is called Mandarin Duck Knife, one long and one short, its knife handle is in a semicircular shape, and the two knives are closed to form a circle, like a knife, which is a commonly used foot combat knife by martial arts people.

Zhu Huan, who already had a slight upper hand, was immediately taken advantage of by his opponent. The cowardly Xue Jun grabbed the fighter plane and slashed down with several knives with a "whoosh, whoosh", forcing Zhu Huan to the upper hand. Zhu Huan has been immersed in the Mandarin Duck Knife for more than ten years, and he has a lot of experience in facing the enemy, so he hurriedly cleaned up his mind and displayed the exquisite defensive moves in the Mandarin Duck Knife Technique, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault.

Yuan Jian said: "Although he is at a disadvantage, he allows the opponent to gain momentum without scoring, and General Zhu is okay for the time being." ”

At this time, I heard Gongsun Xiaochen say: "Your Majesty, there are still two quarters of an hour before the artillery is fired again." ”

"Well, the time is almost up, as long as the Yuan army's attack is repulsed, the artillery can be re-fired, and then the continuous attack of the Yuan army can be cut off. Gongsun Xiaochen ordered the captive army to go out of the camp to meet the enemy. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Xiao Chen, wait." Yuan Jian said loudly, "Your Majesty, there are almost no masters in these Yuan troops, let the pro-guard army rush for a while." ”

"Okay, Xiao Chen, send an order to Hu Yande, and order him to lead fifty guards to go out together and kill the enemy as soon as possible."

Although Kublai Khan invested a lot of military strength, there was not a single general of the Yuan army who rushed within 100 meters, probably because he was worried about being shot by firearms. However, in this way, it has also created an opportunity for our generals, that is, masters such as Hu Yande and Jiang Cai, who have few opponents in the melee, can go on a rampage and wantonly plunder the opponent's soldiers, which will greatly improve the morale of our soldiers.

As soon as Gongsun Xiaochen left, Fang Ling continued: "Brother, look, a large number of Yuan troops have rushed up. ”

I looked forward, and sure enough, I saw a large group of Mongol infantry rushing out of the cavalry army, and the number seemed to be no less than 10,000.

"Shen Mo." I turned my head and shouted.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"You go and inform Jiang Wanzai, let the three armies of Wu Songhan's third compartment attack together, the loyal army is ready, and the Royal Forest Army must also be prepared with both hands, once there is a danger in front of the camp, go out of the camp to meet the enemy, be sure to hold on until the artillery is fired, the most critical point of this war has arrived, when I fire the artillery again, the Yuan army will completely collapse."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

I don't know how many soldiers and horses Kublai Khan will send in the follow-up, according to Gongsun Xiaochen's preliminary statistics, the Yuan army suffered more than 20,000 casualties in front of the camp at Guanzitan, a total of 20,000 cavalry archers, and about 25,000 people who are still in close combat with our army within 100 meters in front of the camp, plus the 10,000 troops who have just rushed up, and more than 10,000 people who are beside Kublai Khan as far as the eye can see, a total of more than 90,000 people.

When Wu Songhan led his troops out of the camp, only the Imperial Forest Army, the Zhongshun Army and the 20th Army were left in the camp. It seems that there are still a lot of people, but since the formation of the Royal Forest Army, it has focused on firearms, although it also trains swords, guns and sticks every day, but like the Zhongshun Army, it has never been on the battlefield and the Yuan army has never fought with real swords and guns, so they have little chance of winning hand-to-hand combat with the Yuan army with rich experience in close combat.

At this time, Kublai Khan's heart was the same as mine, and he was also very anxious, for him, such a hard, long battle was also the first time he had encountered, all the infantry around him had rushed to the front of the camp, countless attacks, paid a lot of casualties, but the situation was still intertwined.

Ah Shu beside him suggested in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there are still about 30,000 Southern Korean troops in the Guanzitan camp, and there are 40,000 cavalry troops left on our side. ”

Kublai Khan did not think about Ashu's proposal, more than 40,000 cavalry on his side are all the elite of the Mongolian tribe, if the foot battle, then lose the advantage of horse warfare, although dismounted to fight, will not lose to the other side, but this group of cavalry is the main cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty, if here and the Song army desperately fight, will also suffer heavy losses, such a consequence makes Kublai Khan difficult to accept, a time dilemma, unable to decide.

As the emperor of the Great Yuan Empire, Kublai Khan knew very well that the situation in the current court was quite complicated, and there were pros and cons to changing the name of the country, although it was supported by most of the Han and Jin soldiers, but it also offended many Mongolian magnates, and what worried Kublai Khan the most was that the Western Khanate used this as a reason to convene the Tarasi Kuritai Conference, in which the Kipchak Khanate, the Ögedai Khanate and the Chagatai Khanate openly opposed Kublai Khan, and formed an anti-Yuan alliance, headed by the Great Khan Haidu of the Ögedai Khanate, An army of about 200,000 troops was assembled on the northwest frontier to prepare to denounce Kublai Khan and restore the Great Mongolian state.

Once his cavalry is exhausted here, it will make Haidu and others feel that there is an opportunity, and Kublai Khan does not know how many projectiles there are in the camp of the Southern Dynasty, and Kublai Khan, who has always been decisive in killing, also seems hesitant.

Today's Kublai Khan is the Great Yuan Emperor, and his territory is vast and thousands of miles away, so he has become cautious. This is the so-called human nature, when you are barefoot, you can not care about anything, but when you put on shoes, you become cautious.

"Ashu, let's take a look." Kublai Khan finally spoke.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

If only considered from the Battle of Xiangfan, Kublai Khan would also adopt Ashu's proposal, but taking into account all the factors of the entire Great Yuan Dynasty, it cannot be said that Kublai Khan's idea was wrong.

Looking at the stalemate in front of him, Ali Hague said anxiously: "Your Majesty, although there are countless trenches and obstacles in front, you can still pass a small number of cavalry troops from the wooden plank erected on it, and the emperor will give the last general five hundred fine horses, and wait for the last general to step forward to kill the sharp spirit of the Southern Dynasty." ”

Kublai Khan shook his head and said: "No, the cavalry has a big target, and five hundred soldiers can only become the target of the musketeers of the Southern Dynasty." ”

Nearly 3,000 broken troops rushed out of the camp, and under the leadership of General Jiang Cai, they immediately exchanged hands with the cowardly Xue army, and soon stopped the 3,000 cowardly Xue. As the leading elite soldier of the Great Song Dynasty, the combat power of the Broken Army is still above the Black Carbon Regiment. Ten years ago, the veteran general Zhao Kui once commented on the elite of the Song Dynasty army, saying that the Broken Army, when ranked first in the Great Song Army, is the only one that can be compared with the "Beiwei Army" of the Yuejia Army.

In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuejia army was the most powerful in the entire Southern Song Dynasty army, among which the "Beiwei Army" was the elite of the elite, it is no exaggeration to say that this army represents the essence of the Yuejia army, the entire "Beiwei Army" has 8,000 cavalry troops, 5,000 infantry troops, and has never been defeated on the battlefield.

The Yuan army that fought against the Broken Army was not the elite of the Cowardly Xue Army, and there was no help from the war horse, so he could only barely parry.

A few years ago, Kublai Khan and Ali Buge competed for the Khan position, and most of the original cowardly Xue army followed Ali Buge, so after Kublai Khan seized the Khan throne, 12,000 soldiers were re-recruited to serve as cowardly Xue, such as Huaidu, Shudu were all in that batch, and later, it was the second batch of cowardly Xue trained by Boyan.

Hu Yande and the others who rushed into it did not have a fixed target, with Hu Yande as the leader, fifty guards formed an arrow array, and where there were many people, they rushed there. These fifty guards are all equipped with superior martial arts, except for the battlefield of thousands of troops, which are not as experienced as the Broken Army, and are stronger than the Broken Army in all other aspects.

The pro-guard army is like a sharp arrow, piercing through the Yuan army, and no one can match its edge wherever it goes.

When fifty guards rushed to General Zhu Huan's side, the cowardly Xue army who was fighting against him saw that the situation was not good, and when he saw that the leader was the double-whip Huyande who was on the same level as Marshal Ashu and General Boyan, he knew that it was not his opponent, so he hurriedly made a false move and escaped into the crowd.

Although there were not many Yuan soldiers who died under the sabers of the guards, their morale was greatly affected, so that the formation was chaotic and became independent.

Just as the soldiers of the Yuan army avoided this small arrow force, a general of the Yuan army wearing black armor suddenly appeared in front of Hu Yande.

"Boyan?" Hu Yande shouted and laughed, "Good time." After that, the double whip was slashed, and Boyan's spear battle was in one place.

Boyan, who commanded the cavalry army in the back, watched the six roads, and when the infantry army rushed up, the cavalry army stopped shooting. And Boyan did not return to Kublai Khan, but changed into a centurion armor of the Yuan army and mixed it in the cavalry army. After Huyande led the troops to rush out, Boyan immediately reacted, there was no master in the Yuan army in front, so he let Huyande rampage in it, so Boyan did not ask Kublai Khan, so he mixed in the infantry army and rushed up.

The appearance of Boyan made the officers and soldiers of the Yuan Army immediately feel refreshed, and their morale suddenly rose a lot.

Originally, the cowardly Xue army who fought against General Zhu Huan was Huaidu, the commander of the cowardly Xue army of the Yuan Dynasty, and when he saw Boyan and Huyande fighting together, he retreated to the cowardly Xue army, brandished his sword, and together with another cowardly Xue Qianfu commander Erkang, he fought against Jiang Cai.

Yuan Jian also saw Boyan, pointed ahead and said, "Your Majesty, Boyan has appeared." ”

"Boyan?" Although I was also taken aback, I immediately gave the order, "Sniper, prepare, don't shoot at will if you are not completely sure." ”

The snipers' eyesight was very good, and they naturally recognized that the general of the Yuan army who was fighting with General Huyan was the famous Mongolian general Boyan, and they raised their guns to aim. However, the speed of the two people fighting each other was too fast, and for a while, they couldn't lock on to the target at all. Dozens of snipers wanted to shoot Boyan, which was a great achievement, but no one dared to put their guns indiscriminately, if they shot General Huyan by mistake, it was estimated that their lives would not be guaranteed.

"Boyan?" Just as I exclaimed Boyan, Yin Tianya also shouted, "Why did he rush to the front?" ”
