But these loyal guards still gritted their teeth and fought to the death, knowing that they were protecting a person who could not give up, even if such efforts seemed so small and helpless in the chaos of the big picture, but the instinct of a Mongol sustained them to fight to the death until the last moment of their lives.

Meng Ge, who broke through in the chaos army, only had twenty-three cavalry guards left around him, and fled in a hurry along the river, on the one hand, to avoid the rebels everywhere, and on the other hand, to be vigilant against the Song soldiers who might appear at any time, if the Song army suddenly appeared at this time, even if there were only five hundred people, they would not be able to resist at all. Running all the way like this, all of a sudden someone shouted: "Great Khan, there is a boat over there!" ”

There was indeed a multi-oared boat parked on the riverside, but it was empty, not even a flag, except for the arrows and bullet holes inserted in the hull, only the blood stains on the deck were shocking, the sailors of this Mongolian ship were either intercepted by the enemy on the river, and when they reached the shore and fell into a bitter battle, they don't know where the corpses were, but their sacrifice was worth it after all, and Meng Ge finally had the opportunity to escape back to the north. As long as the Great Khan was able to regain his footing in the Wan'an Temple in Horin, the Mongols would not lose hope because of a crushing defeat.

Möngke Khan, dressed as the most ordinary Mongol warrior, dressed in leather armor and wearing an iron helmet, although the armor was no different from that of a small soldier, he was heroic, stretched out his hand to block the arm of the guard who wanted to support him on board, turned around, and looked hard at this land with the majesty of a lion, this land where the most elite Mongol army and the ambition of the Mongol monarch were buried, this land where the Mongols will never forget the defeat, he roared in a low voice with a special voice that only a wounded beast can have: "When I return to Helin, Gather brave and resourceful talents under the blue sky, gather millions of warriors, and make sure Sinan Si people repay today's shame a thousand times! ”

At this time, the red banner of the Song Dynasty was faintly seen in the distance, the Song army came quickly and urgently, it was obvious that the collapse of the Mongols was accelerating like an avalanche, which even accelerated the speed of the Song army's movements, and every moment the Song army could get thousands of prisoners and piles of baggage, at this moment the entire Jinghu was in a frenzy, and every soldier was thinking about getting his own piece of the pie in this great victory. As soon as they spotted the Mongol army, they pounced on them like a vicious tiger, just as the Mongol cavalry had done with the remnants of the enemy for twenty years.

The cowardly Xue Baihu beside Meng Ge was his last henchman, and at this time he categorically shouted: "Leave five people to paddle across the river!" The rest come with me! "Seventeen horsemen, who did not even have time to say a final farewell to the Great Khan, turned on their horses, raised their swords and spears, and rushed towards the rolling enemy army with a loud shout.

Meng Ge is no longer in the mood to mourn for these last seventeen people, he has lost too many elite soldiers and fierce generals this day, and it is meaningless to regret what has been lost, he only has one thing on his mind now, that is, complete revenge on Zheng Yunming and Song Guo in the future. Although the elite army is lost, but in terms of population and territory, Mongolia is far more than half of the country south of the Yangtze River after all, as long as he returns to the north and pacifies the rear, he can gather a million troops again, although the veterans who fought on the battlefield are gone, but he believes that as long as there is the Mongolian Great Khan, there is the Mongolian royal court, and the cavalry army that makes the world tremble can be retrained, after all, Temujin also became the Great Khan of the world step by step from nothing.

After all, the guards were not familiar with the nature of the water, and they did not know how to operate the boat, so it took a long time to prop the boat away from the shore, and the troops slid hard in the water with their oars, and the oars slowly sailed towards the north of the river.

At this time, the Song army on the shore did not know that they were about to watch their biggest prey successfully escape, which can be said to be the biggest mistake made by the Central Plains army since the siege of Mayi in China's military history, but they were unaware of it, and they were still immersed in the battle to encircle and eliminate these seventeen extremely brave and capable cavalry.

Meng Ge breathed a sigh of relief, although this fiasco was not a thing to be thankful for, but he managed to save his life, for the monarch, the most important thing is his own life, the important minister is dead, you can also train young ministers, the elite army is gone, you can also organize the retraining of new troops, as long as your life is there, there is a possibility of turning the tables, from the old Mongolian population, he has heard too many examples of embarrassment to the point that there are only two or three people left, or even only one person left, and regrouping the troops, turning defeat into victory, Regardless of others, it is Genghis Khan himself, a living example of the ultimate victory after experiencing ups and downs.

At this time, Meng Ge suddenly felt the deck under his feet shake violently, almost making him unsteady on his feet. He thought it was just a collision with something, but then there was a violent shaking, which made him unable to stand on his feet, so he could only lie on the deck and firmly grasp the boat with both hands, the shaking amplitude became larger and larger, and it was already obvious that there was someone underwater.

Meng Ge thought that the multi-oared boat was crossed by the Mongol navy with great difficulty, but it was just a guess based on the usual situation on the battlefield, and this warship actually belonged to the fourth team of the Sun-Shooting Ship, and the ships of the fourth team were mainly oar-boats and board boats, mainly following the warship to clean up the battlefield after the warship, and it was originally the safest unit in the Sun-Shooting Warship. But today, the Song army's naval division has few enemies, and they do not dare to have a moment of respite and rectification, and they want to tightly block the river, not allowing the Mabu army in the north to cross the river to reinforce the core army of Meng Ge who was attacked, and the main force of Zheng Yunming fell into passivity, and it is a huge test for Lu Wende to carry out such a difficult task with such a small number of troops, if it were not for the upstream Peng Man personally led hundreds of Dongting warships to reinforce, then the strength in Lu Wende's hands alone can only be described in four words, even if it is the joint force of the upstream and downstream naval forces, Almost the largest naval army of the Song Dynasty in the past 20 years, they could only disperse into several boat regiments, patrolling separately to invite Mongol warships that tried to smuggle in, and in the countless small battles that took place in the middle, the Song army did not necessarily have the upper hand.

This ship was lost in a rare Mongol warship that defeated a small group of oars of the Song army with more strikes and fewer blows, but fortunately, the Song army had already occupied the advantage on the river, and they could calmly get rid of the pursuit of the enemy ships and come to the tidal flats south of the Yangtze River to take refuge and recuperate. At this time, the north of the river was crowded with Mongolian infantry cavalry who wanted to escape the river, and at this time, a Song Dynasty ship docked and would inevitably be wiped out immediately.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the sailors of this ship immediately pulled out all the flags of the Song Dynasty after docking, put away a qiē sign that could indicate their identity, and then plunged headlong into the reeds near the ship. It's not a fair between, of course, but it's also a life-saving remedy when the big picture is decided, and not everyone has the courage to face the enemy after a fight that almost cost them their lives.

But when they hid in the reeds and dared to come out a little, watching these people struggle to board their own boats, the Mongols said the word "Great Khan" clearly heard in their ears, fighting for twenty years, the two armies could not understand each other's words are only afraid of many, this title suddenly touched the sensitive nerves of these reed lurkers, they never dreamed that the important person who hundreds of thousands of people were fighting for with all their might in the whole war was currently on the oars in front of them only a few dozen paces.

Of course, there are also a lot of concerns, the Mongolian Great Khan must be surrounded by people with extraordinary martial arts, just with his dozen or so brothers, they must not be their opponents, besides, these people are called the Great Khan, how can they see that it must be Meng Ge himself? Look at the man is just a little bigger, and his momentum is a little imperial, but his clothes and armor are ordinary, and he doesn't look like a supreme Mongolian Khan in the world.

But even so, no matter how small the opportunity is, it can't be missed, this is of course due to the calculating character of the Huaisi people, but it is also the result of Jia Xianggong's cultivation of this army for many years, Jia Xianggong himself, is a first-class master of fighting, similar to this kind of little boy has the opportunity to fight the gambling of the golden-winged copper-headed general, if you let it go, Jia Xianggong will have to personally throw them into Sheyang Lake one by one.

Although their martial arts are not high, they have a strong point that even the most elite Mongolian guards can't match, Jia Xianggong repeatedly emphasized in his morning training every day: "On the ground, a Mongolian cavalry can kill twenty sailors, but in the water, one sailor can defeat the enemy army of hundreds, thousands!" ”

These fierce beasts on the grassland, once they enter the water, are the weaklings who have completely lost their combat effectiveness, and these sailors who shoot the sun have long known it, and the way they choose is to attack from the bottom of the ship. These athletes raised in the water of Sheyang Lake in the wind and waves, trying to subvert a boat is simply a child's game, the oarboat overturned in the storm, and the five guards encountered the scene of drowning for the first time, naturally, they could not help but panic, choked a few mouthfuls of water, and by the way, their hands and feet were sore, and they were immediately pressed into the water.

But the amazing work that the sailors hoped for was ultimately disappointed, and they counted only five prisoners in the water, but the most important figure was missing.

The Mongols are not all impassable, there are several imposing rivers in Mobei, the tribes of the steppe chase the migration of water and grass, naturally it is inevitable to act along the river, the tribes that migrate along the river, naturally there are many people who are water-permeable, although the Mongols regard clean water sources as more precious than life, but if it is concluded that no one among the Mongols knows water, the Song Dynasty really underestimated a lot. The fact is that the Great Khan of the Mongols was actually quite water-sensitive, and as soon as he fell into the river, not only did he not panic, but took advantage of the Song army's attention to the Su Guards who fell into the water, quietly dived into the water, and swam into the reeds to hide in one breath.
