Repatriation (5)

Shen Tuo understood in his heart that the Song soldiers pressed in front of him were all infantry, and the advantage of the Mongolian cavalry over the infantry was originally due to their fast mobility ability. When the Mongols invaded the Southern Song Dynasty, in fact, the personal combat strength of the Southern Song soldiers was not below the Mongols. Heavy armor, strong bows, and elite weapons, these add up, coupled with the command of a famous general like Meng Hui, so that the early Mongol invasion of the Song Dynasty could not take advantage of it at all.

The Mongols couldn't, so they had to use their usual tactics to invade everywhere with cavalry, pull the Song army's defense line, take advantage of the weakness, and defeat the inferior Song army with superior forces. Rao is like this, but also in the Song Dynasty more and more corrupt, the quality of soldiers and weapons continued to decline, coupled with the fact that there was no general, and a scumbag like Fan Wenhu was the main general, and after a full fifty years, the Southern Song Dynasty was wiped out by the Mongols.

In the current situation, the Song soldiers in front of them are obviously the elite of the Western soldiers, with neat steps and murderous spirit, and these hundreds of Mongols can fight again, and if they fall into the formation of these thousands of forbidden troops, they must be dead or alive.

Shen Tuo was anxious, but he didn't know what went wrong with Kang Chengxun and Chongji and the others, so he had to pause and say: "Let's withdraw first, they don't have cavalry, so we can't help it." ”

But I heard a few Mongolian generals say: "Emperor, look." ”

Shen Tuo turned his head to look, but saw that there were two or three thousand cavalry in the direction of the retreat, scattered in all directions, blocking their retreat.

Seeing that the nearly 10,000 Song soldiers were about to come over, he couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart: "How can I beat the Jurchens and don't see them so powerful." ”

Centurion China asked, "Official, do they disobey you?" Then let's go down and kill them for a while, and defeat them! ”

The rest of the Mongolian generals also said: "Yes, the emperor's position is the same as our khan's position, and we have to rely on knives to fight, the emperor can rest assured, we will definitely help you seize the throne!" ”

Shen Tuo smiled bitterly, shook his head, and only said to them: "Put down your swords, get off your horses, and don't make any changes." ”

Chi Na was dumbfounded, and said in surprise: "There are hundreds of us, even if we can't beat it, we can protect the emperor and rush out, so it's too embarrassing." ”

Shen Tuo said sharply: "A good man in Mongolia, is this an order to the master?" ”

On that day, Hebul sent these Mongols to him, but from then on he was mainly Shen Tuo, and Shen Tuo said this, and the Mongols had no choice but to untie their weapons, throw them on the ground, and then jump off their horses one by one and sit cross-legged.

This is a great shame for the Mongols, and everyone from the China down is angry and their faces are pale.

Shen Tuo didn't bother to pay attention, Kang Chengxun and the others didn't go far, and they didn't expect to meet with the senior generals of the Song Army, these troops must have been deployed a long time ago, not after knowing their identities, they were still like this.

If you are in a big mess at this time, and you are actually leading the team to escape, then whether you can break out of the chaos is still between the two, and if you give people a chance and make a big fuss, it will be more of a headache than the current situation.

The plan for today is to calm down!

Fortunately, he had seen the world in the Jin Kingdom, and when it came to being ferocious and good at fighting, although the Song soldiers in front of him were obviously elite, they felt that they were weaker than the Jurchens and Mongols on the whole.

Five or six thousand people were so murderous that Shen Tuo felt even worse than the feeling when the three hundred Mongolian knights under his command charged.

In this way, the Song soldiers who surrounded them didn't know what they were doing, and from a long distance, they saw them jumping off their horses one by one, throwing away their weapons, and they looked like they were being slaughtered.

After the siege reached about 300 paces, the Song army of the brigade finally stopped, joined the Song cavalry on the opposite side, and surrounded this small group of Mongolian cavalry.

The swordsmen and spearmen stepped forward to open the gap, and more archers and crossbowmen stepped forward, stretching their bows and arrows.

Seeing the cold arrows aimed at them, all the Mongols looked disdainful, in their opinion, there was no one in the world who could compete with them except the Jurchens.

Shen Tuo knows that it is powerful, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Hetao area has lost the Hetao area and cannot raise horses, there has been no large-scale cavalry, in order to fight against the Khitan iron cavalry, has always paid attention to the long-range shooting ability of the infantry, is to get a large number of equipment after the Xia people's god arm bow, the Song army has a team of 100 people, more than 20 swords and spearmen, and the rest are archers. As long as there is a slight movement on his side, he is afraid that ten thousand arrows will be fired at once, and in an instant, there will be a few more blood holes on everyone's body.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" After a while, a Song army rode a horse and shouted in front of everyone.

Fortunately, the generals of the Song army on the opposite side obviously knew something different, and this group of soldiers did not fight or flee, and there must be a reason.

Shen Tuo thought about it for a while, and he already had a plan in his heart. Because he bowed his head, he summoned a guard and instructed him: "Hugh said that I am here, so he said that you escaped from Mobei, brought a message from my father and son, and see how the general who led the team reacted." ”

"Yes!"

The guard got on his horse, got to the little school who had shouted, and whispered a few words to him.

When the little colonel heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately took the guard with him and hurried home.

Shen Tuo closed his eyes slightly, although life and death in front of him were unpredictable, his heart was peaceful. It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to achieve things, and sometimes, people can't control themselves at all.

As long as you make your best efforts and succeed or not, you really can only depend on God.

After a short time, dozens of horsemen followed the guard and ran back, all the way to Shen Tuo's body not far away.

But I saw a general in his thirties leaning on the front, although his face was fair, he was as straight as a scholar. But with an arrogant face, he dared to ride a few steps in front of the Mongols, and when he saw everyone looking up at him, they looked at the Mongolian soldiers sitting cross-legged with their faces raised.

Chi Na and the others were furious, clenched their fists, and wanted to stand up and fight with the Song people before they could get angry.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard the general snort coldly, and his eyes suddenly became extremely fierce, scanning everyone. Everyone felt a great pressure in their hearts.

Only a general who has great confidence in himself, has commanded thousands of troops and horses, and regards human life as a mustard, can have such a prestige.

But he sneered: "Nonsense, these barbarians, can they bring a message to the second emperor?" What kind of guards around the royal driver, it's all nonsense. I once saw the Second Emperor Holy Driver from afar in Tokyo, and I have seen a few of the guards around me, why don't these people know any of them? ”

The guards around Shen Tuo were mostly killed in battle that day, and when they were in the Five Kingdoms City, except for a few people such as Kang Chengxun, most of them were newly recruited into the guard, this general didn't know, but it was not surprising.

"Kill them all!" The general turned his horse back and waved his hand to order.

Among the Mongols, there are also a few who understand Chinese, and they are in a hurry when they hear the words, if it weren't for Shen Tuo's death order, they would immediately jump up and fight him for their lives.

Shen Tuo no longer hesitated, since this person said that he had seen him, then, let's give it a go.

At that moment, he squeezed out of the crowd and shouted to the other party: "You have seen me, what is it called?" Why don't I remember? ”

This person said that he had seen the emperor "from afar", presumably he was not a high-level military attache at the beginning, and Shen Tuo did not know him.
