Chapter 472: Does Datang Have a Future?
October 17 of the second year of the Great Song Dynasty.
Jingcheng Pass.
"Kublai Khan is here! Kublai Khan is coming! "On the battlefield west of the Mianman River, a huge shout like a tsunami sounded, and the panic and noise swept across the entire basin and spread to the surrounding hills and mountains!
The appearance of Jiu Bai Xuan and the addition of tens of thousands of Mongolian new troops suddenly reversed the entire battle situation, and the Tang army was defeated!
Looking out of the eyes of the Tang Emperor, sixty-one-year-old Li Pu, the battlefield in front of him was already a bloody color that broke his heart.
On the high ground where he was located, the Yellow Dragon flag was still flying. But when I looked around, it was a tragic situation of defeat like a mountain. On the battlefield west of the Mianman River, waves of Mongolian soldiers wearing black leather armor were everywhere, slapping on the left flank of the Tang army's defense line in waves. On the positions everywhere, the flags of General Dingyuan, General Ningyuan, General Huaihualang, General Ranger, General Guerrilla, and General Guide Lang have all been overturned for the first time...... These are all the names that Li Pu sealed out in order to win over the heroes of Shanxi, but it is a pity that the names are easy to seal, and it is difficult for elite soldiers to succeed. Li Pu's headquarters elite soldiers not only went through many years of strict training, but also had the Juntian system to ensure their economic foundation, and the Shijue system attracted by the big painting pie, so that they have such combat power today.
And those Shanxi heroes who belong to him do not have such elites who can fight vicious battles. If you follow the tailwind battle, these martial arts are not weak, and they can be regarded as strong private soldiers with a bit of discipline and courage, and they can also make a big victory. But as soon as the battlefield was reversed, these guys immediately showed their bottoms.
It's just a piece of yellow cloth wrapped in his head, and he is still wearing all kinds of people's clothes, and most of them are powerful private soldiers without armor. Like an ant's nest in water, I saw the crowd tumbling and retreating. One side retreated. While shouting in panic: "Kublai Khan is here!" Kublai Khan is coming! ”
In fact, the news of the arrival of Mongolian reinforcements at Jingcheng Pass had already been reported to Li Pu's camp by the local tyrants in Jingcheng. But these tyrants reported at the same time. There is also the conclusive news that the "100,000 army" of the Northern Ming Dynasty captured Zhending City!
Therefore, Li Pu and the accompanying Tang army leaders all ignored the arrival of Mongolian reinforcements, believing that they were just defeated soldiers who had retreated from Zhending City. As long as they were beaten hard, they would definitely abandon the well and flee - this is also the conclusion that Li Pu came to when he knew the Mongols too well. The Mongols also have a trick that the Central Plains people don't know much about, that is, they scatter and flee. On the plains, if the Mongols want to run, it is very difficult to reach......
But now, it is Li Pu who needs to escape. The left flank of the Don army had collapsed, and troops elsewhere had retreated. On the entire front. I only saw the attack team of the Mongol army, surging forward!
Li Pu's own soldiers lined up in a line under the hill where he was sitting, and everyone unsheathed their swords to block the defeated and retreating rout. The defeated troops of the brigade retreated, and they were stopped right in front of them. Several Shanxi tyrants wearing satin clothes and leather armor were caught in despair, pressed to the ground and cut off their heads. Rao is like this, there are still more and more routs, and when they get here, there is no way out. I couldn't afford to go back to fight the Mongols, so I just cried and cried.
"Your Majesty! Kublai Khan came, the Mongol Tatar soldiers came, and there were too many Tatar soldiers. Can't stop it! ”
"Your Majesty, just take pity on us, we are all ordinary men. Where have you beaten so many Mongolian Tatars? ”
"Your Majesty, give an order to withdraw! While. Don't be afraid of running out of firewood! ”
Li Pu just closed his eyes on the top of the mountain and kept the green mountains there. Are you really not afraid of running out of firewood? Right now, it's not the Tang and Yuan families competing for the world...... There is also a Beiming in Yanyun in the north!
Chen Dexing had obviously defeated Kublai Khan in Zhending and occupied Zhending City, so why did he let Kublai Khan's army appear in Jingcheng Pass now? Could it be that Kublai Khan was ashamed after suffering a fiasco and losing Zhending City, and bravely turned around and drove Chen Dexing away from Zhending City?
How is this possible! Chen Dexing's bronze cannons and steel armor soldiers are all made of tofu? If they want to defend the city, Kublai Khan may not be able to pile up the corpses with 100,000 people.
And as long as Chen Dexing occupies Zhending City, Kublai Khan will not dare to fight with himself at Jingcheng Pass even if he eats the bear's heart and leopard's guts!
Obviously, it was Chen Dexing who gave up the northern retreat of Zhending City after the victory, giving Kublai Khan the opportunity to regroup and turn around to fight a decisive battle with himself!
Chen Dexing is borrowing a knife to kill people!
"Father, retreat......"
Li Yanjian retreated with blood on his face, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, this lord is also brave, among them, he commanded the army to attack in front, and when he retreated, he also supervised the rear of the palace, but the war horse was shot down by the Mongols, and his head was broken, and he retreated under the cover of his own soldiers. Maybe it was the encounter before the ghost gate closed that made him feel palpitations, or maybe the scene of the collapse of the 80,000 army was too tragic, making his voice tremble.
"Father, no, let's defeat it, let's withdraw quickly, when we get to Niangzi Pass, the retainers have to give up their lives to guard the pass, and our Datang will have a ...... in the future."
Li Pu was unconscious, and just muttered to himself: "Is there a coming day?" Where is the coming day? Is it in the Mingzhou Continent...... Now in the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, the Song Dynasty has rotten, and the Mengyuan Dynasty has also shown its decline, probably only Kublai Khan is still holding on. In the future, the world will be either Tang or Ming, and my defeat today means that most of the people can return to Niangzi Pass, or they can hold Shanxi...... Datang has no chance, and in the future of the world, it seems that the surname is going to be Chen! ”
"Father's ......" Li Yanjian also burst into tears, and said bitterly, "No, what we will not have in the Tang Dynasty is that the Central Plains cannot gain a foothold, and the sons and daughters will also protect their father and the emperor to go thousands of miles away to rejuvenate my Tang Dynasty!" ”
Li Pu sighed, shook his head and said, "I am old, I will not leave Middle Earth, and the future will depend on you, Yanguo, and Yanbang...... Your brothers have always been harmonious, but it is only when I become the emperor that you are dissatisfied. Now that the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty are withering, whether it can be revived in the future depends on whether your brothers are united! ”
As he spoke, Li Pu seemed to look at the battlefield again as if unwillingly, before he chewed out two words: "Withdraw!" ”
……
"Win, win!"
"Immortal Heaven bless the Mongols!"
"Long live Xue Chan Khan, long live it!"
When the Tang Dragon Banner retreated westward, the Mongols on the battlefield also issued the loudest and most cheerful cry from their long-standing hearts.
Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia and the Great Yuan Emperor, stood on the tower of Jingcheng Pass, looking at the defeat of the Tang army on the battlefield, and couldn't help but cry. The current situation can be described as a thousand shots for Meng Yuan. Li Pu is in the west, and he has already captured Shanxi Xingsheng, if he doesn't come to Jingcheng Pass to take this experience, just to hold Niangzi Pass to be a tiger in the mountains, it can also make Kublai Khan unable to eat and walk around. In the east, Chen Dexing not only occupied Yanjing, but also coerced the people in Zhending, Shunde, and Dongping Road to expand the army. As long as you go east to the line of the Grand Canal, you can connect Jinan (Li Yanguobu) in the south and Yanyun in the north. In this way, he attacked it from the east and the west, and even if he Kublai Khan had three heads and six arms, he had to obediently retreat to Henan!
If it really gets to that point, there are hundreds of thousands of Chen and Li allied forces in the north, a bunch of scheming Han warlords in the south, and the forces of the host kings who are unwilling to be controlled by Kublai Khan. Not to mention Kublai Khan, even Genghis Khan was resurrected, and in the face of such a situation, there is only one way to defeat.
And now that Li Pu has been defeated, he will be able to make a comeback in the future, and he will not be harmless to Great Mongolia for the time being. Now just go back and deal with Chen Dexing...... I don't expect to kill this thief, as long as I can force him to retreat north to Yanyun. The Great Mongols were able to temporarily stabilize their position, and then use the food problem to trap Chen Dexing, and then appease the Han Marquis Haoqiang in the Central Plains. The decline of Great Mongolia may not be irreversible.
"Victory, victory, Great Khan, we win!"
The fifteen-year-old doll was cowardly Xue Chang'antong shouted and flew up to the city pass. He also personally participated in the battle just now, and he killed a wave of joy, and now he was called back from the battlefield by Kublai Khan's personal cowardice.
Seeing this cowardly underage Xue Chang who seemed to be his own child, Kublai Khan also smiled with interest and asked: "An Tong, have you ever killed the general of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty today?" ”
An Tong didn't know where to take out a bloody baggage, opened it and handed it to Kublai Khan with both hands, "Great Khan, this is the pseudo-Tang general who was killed on the battlefield...... Great Khan, the minister will return to the battlefield again and kill Li Pu, the dog thief, for you! ”
"Kill Li Pu?" Kublai Khan sneered, "This can't be done...... Killing Li Pu followed Chen Dexing's wish! As long as this Li Pu is still there, the Han land north of the Yellow River is the second lord of the state, maybe their pair of sons-in-law will have to kill each other, and I will be able to clean up Henan calmly! An Tong, go and spread my will, so that the warriors can only chase after Niangzi Pass. Let's let Li Pu have a way to live! ”
……
"What? Li Pu's army defeated Jing Chengguan? When did it happen? Is the message accurate? ”
"It was three days ago, and the news is true...... It was arranged by his subordinates to report on the eyeliner of Jing Cheng. ”
The news of the battle of Jingcheng was finally sent to Han Ansheng, who had already entered the famous city, by the backbone of the Heavenly Daoist Sect in Jingcheng day and night, Han Ansheng did not dare to delay, and immediately asked to see Chen Dexing, the king of Ming.
"It is reported that Li Pu lost this battle miserably, and fled all the way from Jingcheng Pass to Niangzi Pass to stop the decline, and was killed by the Mongols for dozens of miles, and the elite of the department was lost, and most of the Shanxi heroes who were attached to him were scattered!"
"Is Li Pu himself still alive?" Chen Dexing's face was expressionless, and he asked lightly.
"Supposedly alive......"
"Oh," Chen Dexing replied lightly, as if he was a little disappointed, and as if he was a little worried. "It's good that he's still alive, as long as Li Pu is still there, his Datang will eventually have a future ......" (to be continued......)
