In the sixth year of the Great Song Dynasty, November 23, northwest of Yangzhou City.

Under the blue-gray sky, the first snowflake of Baoyou's six years finally floated down, tumbling and tumbling, and landed on Chen Dexing's helmet. Hundreds of artillery officers and men were following him, standing on top of the mound, each panting and exhaling long white breath.

In their sight, they saw that the Mongolian army of the brigade was defeated, throwing away their armor and their clothes in tatters, and retreating towards the northwest. The Mongol army, except for the Red Jacket Army, which was the first to retreat, had no structure, and even the eight Mongol thousand-man troops spent the whole part in the process of retreat - this is a common tactic used by the Mongols when defeating the battle, spending the whole piece into pieces, scattering and fleeing, and in the process of escaping, they also fought back from time to time, which often made the pursuing Song infantry suffer. Therefore, the Song army generally did not dare to pursue the Mongolian cavalry, and even Chen Dexing did not have such courage at the moment, but the retreating Mongolian Han army was a good prey!

Chen Dexing looked up, he didn't know how many retreating Mongol Han troops there were, most of them had no blades in their hands, and many of them even lost their armor. These routs, no one dared to look back and take a second look, they just desperately fled to the northwest!

However, Chen Dexing knew very well in his heart that these Mongol and Han army routs could not escape. Because this place is close to the Yangtze River, from here to the northwest, until the Huai River, there will be no place for these Mongol and Han troops to be resupplied. The towns and villages along the way have either been washed by the Mongols, or they are impregnable, and they are not at all capable of being defeated by such a rout. Therefore, the Song army chasing after them did not need to chase fiercely at all, as long as they hung behind them, shouted a few times like driving pigs and sheep, and occasionally shot a few arrows, killing and wounding a rout of the Mongol Han army, making him let out a dying scream, and the rest of the rout soldiers would be frightened and desperately flee.

This kind of pursuit tactics, although cruel, are very effective, and both the Song army and the Mongolian army do so. It's just that because of the lack of war horses, the Song army rarely can fight such a chase and annihilation battle. In most cases, it was the Mongol iron cavalry shouting in pursuit of the retreating Song army.

Even after such a great victory, most of the Song troops did not dare to pursue too far, only Chen Dexing's artillery army had no fear, they carried more than 30 earth-shattering thunders that were picked up from the battlefield and did not explode, and hung behind the rout of the Mongol Han army for a day and a night.

There were thousands of defeated soldiers of this fleeing Mongolian army, and Chen Dexing's sight was jammed over and over. However, these defeated soldiers, who have lost their fighting spirit and do not have any formation, can no longer be regarded as combat units at all. In front of less than a tenth of the pursuers, only the escape was left!

And these panicked northland routs are a lot of capital in Chen Dexing's eyes!

It is the capital, the capital of being an official, and the capital of saving Xia and helping the sky! There are at least seven or eight thousand of these defeated soldiers in front of him, and if he can take them all for his own use, Chen Dexing will have an army of tens of thousands of people!

As soon as he thought of having tens of thousands of soldiers, Chen Dexing was so excited that he was so hot that his lips trembled slightly, and he forgot to give the order for a while. The artillery officers around him also had irrepressible excited expressions on their faces, and everyone turned their heads to look at Chen Dexing, just waiting for him to give an order.

A northwest wind blew on his face, and Chen Dexing reacted violently and shouted: "Sons, shout with a certain family, those who descend will not die!" Those who surrender to a certain Chen Dexing can live! ”

The crowd shouted loudly: "Those who descend will not die!" Those who surrender to a certain Chen Dexing can live! ”

The soldiers of the Mongolian Han army suddenly heard this shout, and finally someone stopped, turned around and looked at Chen Dexing's tall and mighty body on the horse, and suddenly someone knelt down with a plop and cried: "The Mongolian Tartars left us and ran away, and we can't go back to our hometown...... We are willing to surrender! ”

This cry was like a starting gun, and in the wilderness, the fleeing Mongol and Han soldiers stopped one after another, either kneeling on the ground, or simply sitting on the ground, all crying loudly, proclaiming their willingness to surrender.

Chen Dexing gently urged the war horse, and slowly walked towards the soldiers who were crying, and when the horse's hooves passed, everyone moved to both sides, making way for a passage, allowing Chen Dexing to ride his horse to the center of these soldiers.

"Cry what cry!" Chen Dexing yelled suddenly, "You don't cry when you are a dog on the Tartar side, but you cry when you are a man under Chen, what is the reason!! ”

When he drank like this, the cries of the soldiers suddenly stopped, and the wilderness suddenly fell silent, only the howling north wind.

"Do you want to go back to your hometown?" Chen Dexing asked in a deep voice, and then replied to himself: "You must want to go back...... That's good, a certain Chen Dexing is here, and he swears with you. One day, I will sweep away the northern captives, restore the Central Plains, and return to my hometown! Even if someone dies in battle, the ashes of the tablet will be returned to their hometown, and the temple will be sacrificed, and the world will not end! ”

Chen Dexing suddenly raised his voice to the maximum and shouted: "Gentlemen, are you willing to follow the oath of a certain Chen Dexing, determined to sweep the north, restore my rivers and mountains, and make the fathers and elders of the north no longer be slaves of Hulu?" ”

Thousands of soldiers around, look at me, I'll look at you...... Chen Dexing's words, they actually didn't believe it, but now they were pressing, and they had to believe it, and finally shouted one after another: "We are willing to sweep the north with the general...... We are willing to make this oath! ”

……

The snow became heavier and heavier, and the snowflakes fell one after another, sweeping the heavens and the earth into a silvery white. In the flying snowflakes, even the boundaries between heaven and earth are somewhat blurred.

The red-jacketed soldiers of the brigade are walking to the northwest with difficulty in this snowy sky. Two large torsion stone machines appeared in the marching procession, dragged slowly by dozens of soldiers of the Red Jacket Army, and an officer in a red jacket rode on a horse and kept urging these soldiers to exert themselves.

Li Cuixian rode behind the two large stone machines, and her pretty face had been covered with a scarf, revealing only a pair of bright eyes. Although he had just suffered a defeat and was fleeing with his army, there was no panic in his eyes.

Later, Liu Xiaoyuan rode a horse to catch up, and he was cheeky to follow when Li Cuixian led the troops to retreat. Li Cuixian didn't pick people up, just asked him to follow. Someone came to report that they had found a large force of the Northern Army not far from the rear, and they were chased by the Song army. Liu Xiaoyuan immediately took someone to check, and as soon as he came back, he immediately saluted Li Cuixian with a gloomy face, and his tone was slightly eager: "Li Qianhu, there are seven or eight thousand people behind, all of whom are good men in the north, you can't watch them being killed by the Nanban!" ”

Li Cuixian smiled: "When did the Northland Han'er become valuable in Brother Liu's eyes?" ”

Liu Xiaoyuan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Li Qianhu, I am doing this for your good, the reason for yesterday's defeat is that your red jacket army retreated without an order." This matter will reach the ears of the Great Khan, I am afraid that there will be a thunderous wrath, if you can save the people of the Zhang family, the Xiao family, the Shi family and the Dong family, it is good that someone will help you speak. ”

Li Cuixian shrugged his shoulders: "I didn't retreat without an order, I was ordered by Marshal Yeliugan to keep two stone machines to retreat first when the war was unfavorable." And yesterday's defeat was also because Nanban had a stone machine, and when I sent this sharp weapon to Sichuan to the Great Khan, I would have a generous reward. Therefore, I don't need people from the Zhang family, the Xiao family, the Shi family, and the Dong family to say good things. ”

Hearing Li Cuixian's words, Liu Xiaoyuan noticed the two stone machines, and his eyebrows shrugged. I wanted to say something, but in the end I didn't speak. With two stone machines, Meng Ge Khan will naturally not be guilty again, Li Cuixian, the demon girl, is really good at doing things, if she can really be used by Great Mongolia, it is a good thing. It's just that this demon girl is still beneficial to the Li family's mind, and she always can't see through it, she can't see through it!
