Chapter 465 Three Kingdoms Kill Six Where is the way out
"Withdraw!"
Hearing Kublai Khan's order, the surrounding Mongol kings and generals almost jumped up.
"Great Khan! There are only a few thousand thieves, but there are 50,000 of our great Mongolian warriors! ”
"Yes! As long as we don't hesitate to suffer casualties, we can also kill these Han soldiers with a pile of people! ”
Kublai Khan swept the circle of people around him and sneered: "What's the hurry? I don't want to let them go, just leave a few thousand people to watch...... They can't run. ”
Boyan, who was following Kublai Khan, rolled his eyes and already understood the intentions of the Mongol Great Khan. "Great Khan, are we going to fight the main force of the Chen thief?"
Kublai Khan smiled and nodded. It was originally a siege to send reinforcements! If you pull out the point, will Chen Dexing's aid come?
He looked at Boyan with a smile, stretched out his hand and pointed to the several Mongolian thousand-strong teams that were retreating from defeat and were regrouping, and asked, "What clues can you see?" ”
It's a one-on-four battle! Four Mongolian thousand-man teams took turns to confront a Ming army "canned phalanx", but all of them were scattered by the other party! Corpses and screaming wounded were left behind.
The warriors of the great Mongolia are so vulnerable. And the reason why they are vulnerable is obviously not that the warriors' martial arts are too poor, or they are greedy for life and fear of death on the battlefield. It's weaponry...... Or more accurately, a combination of new weapons and new tactics.
The combination of steel armor, spears, phalanxes and cannons sparked a revolution in military affairs!
The Han warriors wearing steel armor and holding long robbers formed a steel phalanx, and under the cover of artillery, they fought with infantry in formation. As a result, the role of cavalry and bows on the battlefield was greatly reduced - the Mongols' bows and arrows could not penetrate the plate armor, while the Mongol cavalry, which used swords and shields as their main weapons, dismounted and fought on foot. and could not confront the Han armor soldiers who formed a phalanx to attack.
In this way, the Mongolian warriors were able to shoot, ride horses, and wrestle. All blind! There is no way to break through the steel canned phalanx of the Han people!
I'm afraid the only way is to use a sea of people to pile up...... But how many Mongols were there?
Boyan frowned and said: "Great Khan, the combination of steel armor, gun array, and big gun is indeed difficult to break. Unless ......"
Kublai Khan waved his hand and said, "There is nothing unless, if you can't beat it, you can't beat it!" Even today, he defeated the team of steel-armored soldiers in front of him with ten times the number of soldiers, which is useless for the overall situation. And...... How Chen Dexing uses troops, you don't know, do you think he will really give us the opportunity to eat the strong soldiers in front of us? ”
I'm afraid there is no such good thing!
"Great Khan. Are we just going to leave it at that? Boyan asked a little unwillingly.
Kublai Khan said coldly: "The Chen thief has the style of play of the Chen thief, and my Great Mongolia has the tactics of the Great Mongolia...... Chen Thief wants to use thousands of people and tens of thousands of households as bait, but I can't afford this, and I want to let the tens of thousands of people here become the burden of Chen Thief!
Spread my will, and send out cavalry to sweep all the fortresses and towns within a radius of 100 miles! People are killed, houses are burned, and food is robbed...... Even a grain can't be left for Chen Thief! I'm going to trap the thief alive here! ”
……
When Kublai Khan was planning to deal with Chen Dexing with siege and food shortage, the brigade led by Chen Dexing had already approached Liujiaji Town. Sentinel Ranger arranged in front. Fei also greeted him back. At the beginning, a young general with a black flag came straight to Chen Dexing and reported loudly.
"Great King, the Tartar Brigade has been found 30 miles to the northeast!"
Chen Dexing was shocked. Raise your eyes and look to the northeast. I saw that on the vast plain, at some point, a few pillars of smoke rose, as if something was being burned.
"The King. The Mongols are burning the surrounding villages! Yang Axi, the left-wing co-leader of the Zhenghei Banner, followed Chen Dexing, and he knew the Mongol style very well. As soon as you see those pillars of smoke, you understand what's going on.
"Burn ......," Chen Dexing snorted. Waving his hand and ordering, "Get off your horse and rest for the time being, and get ready for battle!" ”
The soldiers of the Ming army all turned over and dismounted, raised horses, drank water and ate. And Chen Dexing took his personal guards and Yang Axi, Wang Lufei, Zhu Sijiu and others to ride their horses up a high slope, and the horses could not pass, so they walked up to the highest place.
Standing on a high place, the weather is excellent, and you can see the general situation within dozens of miles by raising the telescope.
I saw that on the great plain, in the distance to the northeast, the light was shining in a piece. It was the sight of the sun shining on the army in steel armor.
Around the army of steel armor, it seems that you can still see the cavalry figure that is not much bigger than the ant. Running around, rolling up fine clouds of smoke.
But there was no attack on the Steelarmed Army.
What's going on? Could it be that when they found out that the reinforcements of the Ming army had arrived, they stopped the attack and prepared to slip away?
No, if they slip away, what will they do with so many cavalry around Guo Kan's Silver Armor Brigade?
Chen Dexing was shocked and looked southeast.
I saw that in the southeast, more spectacular smoke and dust were raised, and they were still slowly rolling to the north, pointing to the direction where Liujiaji Town was located!
The main force of the Mongol army is approaching!
Chen Dexing put away the binoculars and frowned, as if he was talking to himself: "Look at the smoke and dust, it seems that there are tens of thousands of riders...... Could it be that all the Mongol armies on the south bank of the Hutuo River went north? ”
"Kublai Khan's guy is really hard to deal with!" Chen Dexing snorted coldly and ordered loudly: "Gather people and horses and speed up!" Before nightfall, no matter what, be sure to join the Silver Armor Brigade! ”
The guards shouted the order, turned over and went down the high ground.
And Chen Dexing just stood still, looking at the smoke and dust in the distance. I thought silently in my heart: "This Kublai Khan is really difficult to deal with!" It seems that it is difficult to win with him, and when this battle is over, it is better to honestly farm and strengthen the national strength. You have to expand the army to 150,000, and it's best to equip it with simple plate armor! ”
……
The sun gradually moved westward until it set on the top of the mountain, shrouding the battlefield south of Taiyuan City, which had been fighting hard for two days and one night, in darkness.
After two days and one night of fierce fighting, the originally sloppy camp of the Mongols in the south of Taiyuan City was already crooked, and there were gaps of all sizes. The corpses of the dead and wounded soldiers on both sides were spread everywhere where fierce battles took place.
The Mongol warriors who were originally responsible for besieging Taiyuan were now exhausted, and after finally repelling the last offensive of the Tang army before sunset, they arranged a little guard duty, and many Mongols found a random place to fall asleep.
These fifth- and sixth-generation Mongol Tatars seem to be really used to enjoying themselves, and they can't be compared with the Mongol warriors of Genghis Khan's time. At that time, the Mongols were few and had always relied on fighting harder than their opponents, maneuvering more far-reaching, and fighting more fiercely to achieve victory. And the basis of this qiē is the Mongolian people's superior physique, endurance and tenacity.
Although the Mongolian Tartars who have been rich for several generations are much stronger than the children of the Eight Banners of Kangxi for decades in history - if the Mongols in the era of Kublai Khan and the Eight Banners soldiers in the last years of Kangxi were one virtue, there would be nothing to do with Chen Dexing now, and Jia Rudao would have won the Northern Expedition a long time ago. But these Mongolian warriors, who were much stronger than the children of the Eight Banners, were not much stronger than their current enemy, the Eastern Tang Army.
After two days and one night, not only were the casualties staggeringly high, but everyone was extremely tired. In addition to wanting to sleep and rest, everyone has a question in their hearts.
When did this Han become so capable of fighting?
Baturu, Wang Tiange, and several other Mongolian households and thousands of households, but at this time, they were not allowed to rest for a while, and they all gathered together to hold a military meeting.
Baturu's eyes were bloodshot, he sat on a bed of beard, glanced at everyone, and just asked, "Do the warriors still have the strength to fight?" ”
Brother Wang Tian took over the conversation, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it won't work, these two people have been carefully observed, our warriors of Great Mongolia and Li Reverse are almost one for another......"
Baturu sighed.
It's better to say that it's a one-to-one exchange with Chen Dexing's soldiers. After all, Chen Dexing's Shijue and Eight Banners are not many in number, and they are also well-equipped, and they take the route of elite soldiers. However, the casualty ratio was one to one with Li Pu's soldiers...... The outlook for Greater Mongolia is already quite bleak!
Brother Wang Tian's words continued, he said: "To tell the truth, now the force of the Han people has risen. Li Pu and Chen Dexing are not even very strong, and they are already so difficult to fight......"
"Brother Wang Tian! What do you mean? A Mongolian 10,000 households glanced at Brother Wang Tian, who was ambitious to others.
"Take off the joy, let Wang Tian Ge'an answer continue." Baturu waved his hand. Until now, he also has a feeling of powerlessness. If Chen Dexing is a hard idea and Li Pu is a soft persimmon, then the Mongols can still fight.
But now...... Li Pu, this persimmon is not soft!
Brother Wang Tian sighed and said, "Actually, our Great Mongolian soldiers are really strong!" Now there are H weapons of the Han people...... Heavenly thunder arrows, big guns or something, if they are used to go to the west and south, what kind of opponent cannot be defeated? This world is big, how about hanging ourselves in the Central Plains and Chen Dexing and Li Pu? ”
What does this mean...... It's to fly away!
Baturu thought about it, and also felt that Brother Wang Tian's words made sense! Now it is not only the Mongols who are weaker, but also the Han Chinese. Decades of war experience have been trained, and there are fire guns, heavenly thunder, and characters like Chen Dexing, Li Pu, and Shi Tianze. If the Mongols continue to fight to the death in the Central Plains, not to mention the defeat of the Battle of Zhuangshui, even if there are ten bloody battles in Taiyuan, the 200,000 Mongols brought by Xue Chan Khan to the Central Plains will be killed.
It's not worth it! The 200,000 Mongolian army is still equipped with H medicine weapons, and there are still places in the world that cannot be visited? Why bother with the Central Plains?
Baturu exhaled and was about to say something when suddenly a dull drum sounded, followed by a loud shout.
"Long live Datang! Exorcise the Hulu! Revive the Tang Dynasty ......" (to be continued......)
