Kublai Khan naturally saw the red crowd surging on the other side of the Daqing River, and also heard the roar of "cross the Qing River and kill the Tartars".

The place where the red crowd crossed the river was the direction where Qihe City was located. Qi River was originally a county of Jinan Road, and there is only one river between Jinan City, and there has always been a pontoon bridge connection. Although Li Yanguo had Qihe City burned, the Qinghe pontoon bridge was retained. In case Li Pu led his troops from Hebei, there would be a convenient way into Shandong. Of course, if the Mongols reached the Daqing River, the bridge would have to be burned immediately!

And now, the pontoon bridge that has been preserved has become a channel for the Tang Dynasty soldiers to join the battlefield and give Kublai Khan the final blow. The bitter battle between the two armies of the Yuan and Ming dynasties has been fought for several rounds. The battle lines of both sides have at this time shifted to the "sand shield car wall". The Mongol army turned to the defensive, and countless Mongol soldiers were gathering behind this hastily constructed fortification of sand shield carts and mounds of earth, and some of them were armed with bows and arrows, and they struggled to throw feather arrows at the opposite side of the "sand shield cart wall". There are also some people holding spears and shields, guarding behind the "sand shield car wall", desperately blocking the Ming army steel armor soldiers who want to climb over the wall. The fiercest battles unfolded in the gaps of the "Sand Shield Wall", the Ming army repeatedly charged under the cover of bronze cannons, and the Mongols continued to fill in the gaps - because everyone knows that the gains and losses of these gaps will be related to the victory or defeat of this battle!

Once the Ming army captures a few gaps, they will be able to push the artillery up and bombard it with shotguns! So that the Mongols would lose their entire line of defense! The Mongols, who had lost their support, had to choose between fleeing in panic and being completely crushed by the enemy.

The Ming army that is now fighting against them is not a two-legged infantry army like the Tang army and the Song army. but cavalry and horse-mounted infantry, where everyone has horses. If the Mongols want to withdraw, they will be able to chase and fight!

Therefore, Kublai Khan even had the idea of retreating. They did not dare to retreat during the day, only when it was dark. Under the cover of night, they can withdraw safely. Of course. Kublai Khan gritted his teeth and insisted on another reason, that is, to slap a swollen face and pretend to be victorious.

But if you think about it, if Kublai Khan had held out until the evening and then retreated, it would really be a victory. It was not the battle of Jihe that was won, but the round of the Hebei melee that was won. Because the soldiers and horses under Kublai Khan were all Mongols on the steppe, their criteria for victory and defeat were different from those of the Central Plains. Grab enough loot and win! As for whether they can occupy Hebei Prefecture and County, they don't care much. And in this Hebei War, Kublai Khan let his subordinates free their hands and feet to loot and burn. The looted goods and women even exceeded the several invasions of Sichuan and Jianghuai launched by Möngke Khan! Although the battle is bitter. But the harvest is also really rich. As long as the loot can be taken away, according to the standards of the Mongols, this is a victory!

Seeing that victory was already in sight, it would be dusk if it lasted for two hours at most. I thought I could retreat to Henan with a lot of loot. Now all hope has been shattered because of the appearance of the Tang Army!

At this time, the Ming army's wave of offensive had come to an end, and the soldiers of the third brigade of the "sand shield car wall" retreated like a tide. There was a sudden silence on the battlefield. The sound of artillery, explosions, and shouts of killing all died down, leaving only the dying wails of the wounded.

The Mongols crowded behind the walls of the sand shields, craned their necks and watched from afar, gasping for air. Each of them was exhausted. Sweaty and heavily clothed. The cold wind blowing from the northwest swept by, and everyone's heart was cold.

Gradually, the sound of discussion began to sound, and in an instant it became louder, mixed with the sound of wailing.

"Han reinforcements have arrived! We're going to lose! ”

"This battle shouldn't have been fought. Wouldn't it be better to go to Henan with your goods early? Now what? Is it possible to abandon the goods that have been plundered and run away? Have you not suffered in vain these days? ”

"When is it? What else do you want for a woman? Let's save my life! ”

"Retreat, retreat! We're all good guys right away. Where can I go on horseback? Do you want to stay here and die? ”

"Yes, we Mongols only need to have horses. Where can't I go? Where is there no woman of wealth? Lost in Hebei. Just go to Henan and grab it again. ”

"What about Xue Khan? Where is Xue Khan? We ask, where is Xue Khan going to take us? ”

In the midst of the noise. Kublai Khan had already crossed the crowd under the escort of the cowardly Xue guards and boarded a nest car. His back was straight, as if he didn't feel any depression or fear, and his eyes scanned the whole army.

Swept away by his gaze, the Mongol army seemed to be a little more relieved.

Kublai Khan was the Great Khan of Mongolia in the end, although he did a lot of bad things, he was still the only Khan that tens of thousands of Mongol warriors in the current predicament could rely on. As for what the future holds, there is no need to think about it now. At present, everyone only hopes that this Mongolian Khan can take them out of danger and go to the "rich" Henan to grab another handful, and make up for all the "losses" in Hebei.

And Kublai Khan, at this moment, did not disappoint them. He stood upright, full of energy, and shouted with his sword: "Isn't it tens of thousands of two-legged infantry?" What's the big deal? We have been fighting with the Ming thieves for a few hours, and we are still chasing the Ming thieves all over Hebei, they have long been tired divisions, and now they are holding on! If the pseudo-Tang people don't come to save him, we just need to fight until the night, we don't have to fight, and we will be tired and tired to death. But now it's a lucky guy surnamed Chen. Let's not take his dog head for the time being...... But they don't want to take advantage of the warriors of the Great Mongolia, and I, Kublai Khan, will not make the warriors suffer! As long as we ride a war horse and get rid of the Ming thief and Tang thief, Hebei, Henan and a lot of rich states and counties, just break a few and you will have everything? ”

Kublai Khan shouted at this point, and suddenly pulled out the scimitar in his waist and pointed to the south: "Warriors, let's rush and kill again with me, and force back the thieves in front of us, let's retreat together and go to the ground in Henan to plunder!" Turn the Han people in Henan into the shepherd slaves of the warriors, and put their rich wives into the camp tents of the warriors! Warriors, do you think it's good? ”

"Good! Long live the Great Khan! Immortal Heaven bless the Mongols! ”

Go to Henan to plunder! What a big pie! And it was quite to the appetite of the Mongolian warriors. In the past, the reason why most of the Mongols did not like Kublai Khan was not because he always thought about keeping the urban people in the Han land to collect taxes!

Can collect taxes, where is there a clean profit? A 10,000-household road can collect 10,000 taels of silver a year (Mongolia's currency is silver), which is considered a lot. But if you grab it all at once, you will have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver! Not to mention the fact that there are still quite a few slaves and women. And there's no future to spare!

If Hebei, Henan, and Shandong had been plundered in the past, where would there be today's disasters?

……

The Tang Dynasty soldiers of the brigade had already walked from the pontoon bridge to the north of the Daqing River at this time. Li Yanguo's Zhao Wangjun flag was planted on the mound where Jihe County was located, and a large number of foot soldiers formed a formation on both sides of Jihe County.

The 2,000 light cavalry left by Chen Dexing in Jihe County abandoned the city first, and also pulled away the horses and vehicles left by the Ming army next to Qihe County to join Chen Dexing.

At the same time, the Northern Ming Army at the front also began to shrink. There was no new round of assault on the "sand shield wall". Instead, relying on Xiaolizhuang, Yuzhuang, and Gaojialou, they were armed. This saves Kublai Khan from swinging his army to pounce!

At this time, the Ming army was already a little tired, as Kublai Khan said, these days are constantly marching and fighting, or it is high-intensity training, and the troops say that they are not tired, which is false. Moreover, the fierce battle from early morning to the present today has also caused them to lose a lot of money, and they have lost no less than 5,000 dead and wounded, and now it is a bit of a strong crossbow.

Therefore, when Chen Dexing saw the Tang army crossing the river, he gave up the battlefield to them very friendly......

"Humph! The surname Chen is really careful! ”

On the other side of the Daqing River, the nun of the Extinction Gate looked at the changes on the battlefield and snorted coldly.

Who is this old nun? The founder of the Yidu regime and the leader of the Red Jacket Army of the Late Jin Rebellion. What kind of intrigue has she never seen or used? How do you not know the real purpose of Chen Dexing's shrinking defense?

This is not an open gun to defend against Mongolia, but a hidden arrow to defend against the Tang Army!

Now the Northland is a three-kingdom competition, and there is only one winner in the end!

The nun turned her head and looked at a grown man wearing a military uniform standing with his hands down, and said lightly: "Li Heng! The time has come for you to be loyal to the Mongols! ”

When the man heard this, his body trembled, and his forehead was immediately covered with beads of sweat. He is Li Heng, although he is a descendant of the Western Xia clan, he was raised as a son by the Mongolian king Brother Xiang, and his father was the adopted son of Brother Xixiang's father, Hesaer. He has always been loyal to the Great Mongolia, and it was a helpless move to take refuge in the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

"Queen Mother, Minister ......"

"You don't have to explain anything to the old body!" With a wave of her hand, the nun of the Extinction Gate coldly interrupted Li Heng and said, "Who doesn't know your thoughts?" She raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the Sun and Moon King Banner, "See, Chen Dexing is there!" He is the sworn enemy of Mongolia, and with him, Kublai Khan has no chance of turning the tables. And you are now nominally the general of my Datang, under the banner of Datang, and there are 1,000 party cavalry. Don't you really want to do something for Mongolia? Do you still want to keep your hands so that you can stab the Tang Dynasty when Kublai Khan attacks Jinan and Yidu in the future? ”

Li Heng had cold sweat on his forehead, he did have such a thought! Moreover, an envoy has been sent to contact the Wuliang Hetai that has invaded Henan.

The old nun said coldly: "Go, take your people to cross the river quietly, don't do it yet, and as soon as Kublai Khan retreats later, King Zhao's soldiers and horses and the Ming army will chase after ......" (to be continued......
