Chapter 134: Reluctant Peace (8)

It was close to noon on August 25, the fourth year of the Great Song Dynasty.

The infantry brigades and cavalry squads of the Song army lined up neatly, and the troops on the periphery either walked slowly or stopped to release their guns under the orders of the commander. The marching troops, protected by the combat troops, walked on their shoulders with the equipment of the whole army and straw bags. Every half hour, the troops of the inner and outer layers are exchanged.

This set of practices is the same as the siege and repair station, and is one of the many routines of the Song army, and the basic condition of this routine is that the Mongol army did not want to engage in a death charge. In fact, although the Mongol army ran back and forth around the Song army, as long as they were fired by the Song army, they immediately stayed away.

The Song army did not retreat unlimitedly, and they stopped and set up their formations when they retreated ten miles away from the rear military station. The two sides soon formed a standoff in this very delicate place.

The tactical purpose of the Mongolian army was not to fight with the 2,000-strong Song army, and the intelligence system of the Mongolian army kept sending news from the rear, and the Mongolian army's reconnaissance network within 10 or 20 miles never found that the Song army came to reinforce it. The Song army on the opposite side looked like an old god, calmly holding on to the spot, and did not put enough pressure on the Mongol army.

At first, the fierce Hua Chi Wanhu still felt that the Song army on the other side was just a bluff, and their nerves would definitely collapse under the siege of the Mongol army, which was twice their size. So Wanhu sent two Qianhu to lead the cavalry around the back of this Song army. However, the Song army was still unmoved, and they still continued to hold on as if the old gods were there.

After another hour, the news came from the Mongol scouts that the Song army, which had set out from another place thirty-five miles behind the Mongol army, began to build a barracks. Fierce Hua Chi Wanhu was shocked when he landed, and he hurriedly asked: "Have you found the Song army in other places?" ”

The Mongol scouts immediately replied: "No, the Song army in other places has not moved at all!" ”

"Didn't they rush to our camp?" Fierce Huachi asked.

The Scout continued to shake his head and replied, "No." ”

Fierce Huachi was completely stunned. He knew the place where the Mongol scouts said that the Song army was stationing thirty-five miles away, and that place was about ten miles away from the current temporary camp of the Mongol army. Regardless of whether the Song army discovered the location of the Mongol army, or did not find the place where the Mongol army was stationed. Fierce Huachi Wanhu knows that he is in big trouble. It was impossible for him to work all day during the day, and at night Shi Shiran returned to the temporary camp only ten miles away from the Song army.

The muskets and artillery of the Song army were able to easily break through the camp defenses of the Mongol army.

The anger has been accumulating these days, and the fierce Hua Chi Wanhu couldn't bear it anymore, he raised his head at a 45-degree angle angrily, and scolded angrily at the sky, "Damn Southern Barbarian! Damn Song dog! ”

The Mongol army was fighting according to the tactics of the Mongol army, and the Song army was completely unmoved, they were fighting according to the tactics of the Song army. As a result, the noose around the neck of the Mongol army was tightened more and more, and as long as the Song troops in the rear could complete the station according to their previous performance, the noose was completely tightened to the point that the Mongol army could barely breathe.

Returning the posture of looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle to its usual posture, he gave a new order, "The whole army is ready to rush into battle and kill all these Song dogs in front of you!" ”

Fierce Huachi Wanhu knew that at this time, the rush would inevitably suffer a lot of losses. But only by charging into battle and destroying the 2,000-strong Song army in front of them can the Mongol army know that they can annihilate the Song army in a frontal battle. Only then could the Mongol army build confidence in victory in the subsequent brutal battles.

The thousands of households were also very experienced in combat, and although their faces became ugly, they carried out the order without hesitation. With the sound of the horn, with a thousand households commanding a hundred households, and a hundred households commanding ten households, the originally scattered Mongolian army began to line up in a whole column, and the war horses and horses in all directions were facing this Song army of 2,000 people. As long as the Mongol households gave the order, the Mongol cavalry could send a charge.

In response to the changes in the Mongol army, the Song army also reacted. Just when the fierce Hua Chi Wanhu urged the horse to the front row, I saw many Song troops carrying straw bags rushing out of the Song army's military formation, and they built up the straw bags as a whole. As if playing a trick, a moment later the two thousand Song troops completed a simple barracks, and the Song army, which was hiding behind the defensive walls of the barracks, disappeared from the sight of the fierce Huachi Wanhu. This is also one of the routines of the Song army, and when the Mongolian army was ready to play with their lives, the Song army chose the routine to target.

Fierce Hua Chi Wanhu looked at the fortress made of yellow and grass walls in amazement, it was one thing for the cavalry to charge into a phalanx composed entirely of rifles, and it was another thing for the cavalry to hit the wall with their heads. It turned out that the Song army, who had just seen the old god there, was not idle, and the Song army who was hiding in the middle of the military formation had been preparing straw bags!

The situation changed so quickly, Wanhu couldn't bear it anymore, he scolded Song Jun in Mongolian dialect with grief and indignation, and unlike those previous regional artillery, although Wanhu's words were lengthy, they could be summarized by the word "my day".

On August 25, except for the Song army to which Cheng Tieniu belonged, which failed to complete the construction task, the construction of the other five Song army stations was completed.

On August 26, 30,000 Song troops began to encircle and suppress 5,000 tired Mongol cavalry. Without the interference of the Mongol army, Song Tieniu's unit began to build a new station again, and completed the work of building the wall on the same day.

At dawn on August 27, the fierce flower Chiwanhu, who had not slept all night, raised his eyes to look at the sky and felt that his eyes were a little spicy. The Song army harassed the Mongol army all night and did not stop until dawn.

"Wanhu, let's break through to the west." The thousands of households with gloomy expressions surrounded Fierce Huachi, and there were pleading and threatening tones.

Wan Hu looked around and shook his head with a wry smile, "Where to break through?" ”

Chiho immediately replied, "To the west, to the west." If we can't go west, we go south, throw our horses down, and we go over the mountains to the south. ”

As he was talking, a horn suddenly sounded in the distance, which was to report that the Song army was attacking. The faces of the Mongol generals changed. Since yesterday, the attacks of the Song army have not stopped. They did not hold on stupidly, but set out from the nearest station to the Mongols, and at each time they sent out three or four armies, each of which numbered two thousand men. After seeing the Mongols, they did not ignore the previous ones, but lined up and pressed against the Mongols.

Originally, he thought that 5,000 cavalry could solve the 2,000 Song army, but on August 26, he realized that he was wrong. A charge down, the 500 Mongol troops who took the lead were completely annihilated in front of the Song army with spears. And the Mongol army did not have the courage to charge a second time, because the new Song army surrounded the flank from behind.

Throughout the 26th, the Mongol cavalry, which had violently spent thousands of households, continued to lose and lose. There are constantly Mongolian squads falling behind, and there are constantly Mongolian troops who cannot bear such losses and leave the brigade on their own. The troops of the fierce Huachi Wanhu continued to shrink, and by the early morning of the 27th, they were only a little more than a thousand people left. And all of them are exhausted.

The Song army will not be tired, the fierce Hua Chi Wanhu experienced several times yesterday, the newly arrived Song army on the battlefield energetically into the battle, has been the Mongol army with exquisite cavalry tactics to get tired Song army took the opportunity to retreat. The retreating Song army cleaned up the battlefield, gathered the fleeing horses, and then returned to the military station to rest. In the face of the perpetual motion general Song army, the Mongol army was exhausted.

Fierce Huachi Wanhu knew that if they didn't tear apart the strength of the Song army, they would not be able to escape from the Luoyang Basin. At this time, a kind of expectation suddenly arose in the heart of the fierce Huachi, maybe they retreated west along the Yellow River, maybe they would encounter something. It is possible that the Song army is empty, and it is possible that the Song army forgot to guard.

Wan Hu said decisively: "Follow me, let's break through from the west!" ”

The current state of the fierce flower Chi Wanhu, who has not closed his eyes for a day and a night, is like a driver who is fatigued driving, because of the consumption of physical strength and the fatigue of the brain circuit caused by the long-term high-intensity electrification of the brain, which makes him feel dull about the real world, and this dullness makes him feel that the world has infinite possibilities. Just think about it!

The thousand households had wanted to escape for a long time, and now that the thousand households had spoken their thoughts, the thousand households immediately obeyed. More than 1,000 Mongol cavalry mounted their horses and galloped in a northwesterly direction.

By the evening of the 27th, the large-scale battle was over. The Mongol cavalry foolishly fell into the encirclement of the Song army during the breakout, or they were so tired that they did not notice that they had fallen into the encirclement. When these people found out about this desperate fact, they decisively chose to surrender, and the Mongol army also surrendered.

On the 28th, Kublai Khan's envoys rushed to Luoyang. The envoy brought a letter from Kublai Khan, in which the Khan suggested that he make peace with Zhao Jiaren again, and he also asked Zhao Jiaren to let the envoy go to meet the fierce Huachi who continued to fight in Luoyang, and promised that the envoy would definitely let the fierce Huachi retreat.

After reading the letter, Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but smile and said: "What's so difficult to see the fierce Huachi, come here, bring the fierce Huachi in." ”

The Mongol envoy's face changed when he heard this, and he had considered the possibility of such a situation on the way, but he did not think that such a situation was very likely. Now that the worst happens, the Mongolian envoy can only expect Zhao Jiaren to say big things.

With the sound of footsteps, the fierce flower red of the rope tie was brought in. After the two met, Lihua lowered his head in shame. This envoy was the younger brother of Mamli Huachi, and Kublai Khan believed that Majli Huachi would believe the news brought by his brother, so he sent this envoy.

"Captain Zhao, please release my brother!" The anxious messenger couldn't help but plead.

"There's no rush on this matter." Zhao Jiaren calmly replied: "Since Kublai Khan asked for peace talks, this matter will be discussed after we meet." Go back and tell Kublai Khan that I will meet him in the near future. ”
