Chapter 1039: Wedge Tactics

.lā

In just an hour of siege, the Mongolian warrior commandos have changed three waves in succession, and the south gate is still strong and standing proudly in addition to being stained with blood.

This hour was a complete disaster for the Mongol warriors, some were smashed into meat sauce by stones, some were scalded into roast pigs by boiling vegetable oil, and some were sniped by strong bows and crossbows.

The way of death is different, but the destination is the same.

With the passage of time, there was no progress in the siege battle, and the face of Zhang Hongfan, the commander of the Mongolian army, became more and more solemn, and the sweat of his palms continued to seep out, and he couldn't win by wiping it.

Although Kublai Khan didn't say anything, there was an invisible pressure that seemed to crush Zhang Hongfan.

Zhang Hongfan had no choice but to grit his teeth and hate, and sent one batch after another of troops to the battlefield, trying to break through the Lin'an Gate with a fierce attack.

The tenacity of the defenders of the Southern Song Dynasty and the fierceness of the counterattack were completely beyond Zhang Hongfan's expectations.

"How so?!"

Zhang Hongfan, as the first deputy general under Boyan's account, attacked the Southern Song Dynasty with Boyan, and captured not 30 Southern Song Dynasty cities, but 20, and never encountered such stubborn resistance.

"Is this still the weak and deceitful Song people in my cognition?"

Standing at the top of the command tower, looking at the Southern Song Dynasty recruits on the city wall who were not afraid of death, Zhang Hongfan couldn't believe his eyes.

It was as if someone had cast some magic on Lin'an City overnight.

The people of the entire city became excited, swept away the previous decadence and cowardice, became full of blood, turned into wolves, and wanted to fight the Mongols.

"What a peculiar people."

Zhang Hongfan muttered to himself, his face was very bad, the hole cards in his hand have become less and less, once the hole cards are exhausted, if there is no good result, what awaits him will be ruthless sanctions.

Whatever is added to the official and promoted to the knight, it is all false.

At this moment, a herald came at the staircase of the command tower, who was a janissary who was following Kublai Khan. "General, Your Majesty has an order to let you go to the Imperial Front."

Zhang Hongfan listened, his feet were weak, and he almost didn't stand firm. He wondered if His Majesty had become completely disappointed in him and was ready to execute him on the spot as a sacrifice to the military flag.

Fear hit Zhang Hongfan like a tide, and for a moment, Zhang Hongfan even thought that he would simply jump off the conning tower and die.

"General?"

Seeing that Zhang Hongfan's face was cloudy, the herald reminded him.

"Oh, okay, okay, I'll go."

Zhang Hongfan suddenly came to his senses, ashamed of Fang Cai's thoughts, how could this be, he was a general, how could he be so cowardly.

Even if you want to die, you have to die uprightly.

In the final analysis, it is the successive setbacks in the recent period that have greatly hit Zhang Hongfan's confidence.

…………

Led by the heralds, Zhang Hongfan soon met Kublai Khan.

Kublai Khan sat on the throne, his expression was not as relaxed as at the beginning, but it was not very dignified, as a generation of heroes, Kublai Khan had never seen any winds and waves.

"Zhang Qing, I want to know how long it will take to take Lin'an City." Because he was surrounded by a group of Han ministers, Kublai Khan was proficient in learning the Han emperor's set.

Zhang Hongfan opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't spit out half a word, of course he wanted to pat his chest and say something like "I will definitely be able to take Lin'an in half a day", but he didn't dare.

When Kublai Khan saw it, he said lightly: "Zhang Qing, I am very disappointed!" ”

When Zhang Hongfan heard this, he knelt down almost reflexively, kowtowed and said: "The last general will have the trust of His Majesty, and he deserves to die for his crimes, and he is willing to be punished!" ”

As he spoke, he kowtowed again and again, breaking his forehead.

Kublai Khan looked at the "performance" of his subordinate generals, and was noncommittal, and after a long time, he said: "Get up, you have to talk about the crime after the war." I will allocate another 100,000 troops to you, and if I can't take Lin'an City again, I'll see you. ”

Zhang Hongfan was indeed sober, he did not rush to respond, but once again expressed his loyalty to Kublai Khan, and said worriedly: "The last general will not dare." ”

"Why don't you dare, are you afraid of being beaten by the Southern Song Dynasty?" Kublai Khan suddenly had a fierce killing intent on his body, like a wolf king on the steppe, ready to tear the enemy to pieces at any time.

Kublai Khan could not tolerate a cowardly general.

"The last general is not afraid, the last general is worried about His Majesty's safety. The enemy deployed 200,000 troops in the north and another 100,000 troops, and the general was worried that the Southern Song Dynasty would take the initiative to attack. Zhang Hongfan explained.

Kublai Khan's expression slowed slightly, and the killing intent faded without a trace, and said, "You don't need to worry about this. I have 300,000 troops to escort me, not to mention whether the Southern Song Dynasty dares to take the initiative to attack, even if they attack, they will have no return. ”

After all, he had not seen the power of the Inhuman Legion with his own eyes, but Kublai Khan was still full of confidence in the Mongol cavalry under his command, and this army had never been defeated in the northern and southern battles with him.

Kublai Khan still did not believe that there was a stronger force in this world than his army. In the fiasco of the previous raid, those who lost naturally exaggerated to the enemy in order to shirk their culpability.

He was convinced.

As the old saying goes, experience can help people, and experience can kill people.

Kublai Khan is now making the mistake of "empiricism", speculating on his opponent based on his past combat experience, and how did he know that there is a broader main plane beyond the battle map.

Although Zhang Hongfan disagreed, he no longer argued, these 100,000 reinforcements were his last hope for a turnaround, and of course he had to hold on to it in order to save his fate.

And so it was settled.

Soon, 100,000 Mongol troops left the Beidaying military formation and moved to the east and west.

…………

Lin'an City, North City Tower.

Guo Ziyi, as the commander of the 200,000 army, did not appear on the battlefield, but stayed in Beichenglou. He was condescending, observing the enemy's every move, ready to strike at any time.

In order to confront the Southern Song Dynasty army, the Mongolian army also walked out of the northern camp and lined up in front of the camp. The Mongol army was based on 10,000 troops, with a phalanx of forty cavalry, which made people's scalps tingle.

Such a shocking war scene can only appear in the game world.

Kublai Khan's royal chariot also appeared on the battlefield, but in the middle and back of the field. Forty cavalry phalanxes were arranged in four rows and ten columns, and Kublai Khan's pro-guard phalanx was located in the fifth column of the fourth row.

At this moment, 50,000 troops on each side of the phalanx moved to the two wings, and it was the 100,000 troops who were ordered by Kublai Khan to go to the two flanks to reinforce them.

Even so, the entire cavalry phalanx was still out of sight, and it is no wonder that Kublai Khan had such self-confidence.

The corners of Guo Ziyi's mouth also showed a hint of a smile, "I finally moved, I'm afraid you won't move!" "Before the war, the Military Aircraft Department had a detailed assessment of Jia Xu's plan.

With the strength of 150,000 cavalry, it can only resist 350,000 Mongolian cavalry at most, and it is too reluctant to exceed this number, so you can only give up the beheading plan.

For this reason, Wu Qi, who commanded the battle to defend the city in the city, had to mobilize all the forces defending the city and show his strength in order to attract the enemy to reinforce the front line.

Sure enough, Kublai Khan was fooled, and he transferred 100,000 troops at once.

In this way, the situation was very favorable to the Southern Song camp.

When the 100,000 Mongolian cavalry gradually moved away, Guo Ziyi began to move.

"Order, the whole army is ready!"

As soon as the command flag of the city head waved, the troops below the city immediately received a signal, and the order was passed down layer by layer like a wave of the sea, until it was passed on to every cavalryman.

After receiving the order, all the cavalry officers and men were shocked and began to check the equipment in the shortest possible time to confirm that they were in the best combat condition.

A big war, on the verge of breaking out.

"Attack!"

Guo Ziyi was very decisive and did not hesitate.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom! ”

The drums of war were beaten, and the flag was unfurled.

On the left flank, who made great achievements in the raid and killed Boyan's fierce general, suddenly opened his eyes and shook his spirits with the Rakshasa under him.

"Sons, kill with me!"

Evil came without saying a word, and gently knocked the rakshasa under him, like a sharp arrow, and took the lead in rushing towards the Mongolian army opposite.

The 50,000 elite riders were like a whole, rumbling and starting, and for a while the smoke and dust were billowing up.

Curiously, the cavalry on the left flank did not charge in a regular straight line, but followed the trajectory of the evil coming, diagonally inserting from the left into the middle and taking a large diagonal line.

At the same time, the right-wing Zhao Zhuang Department also set off.

Like the left wing, the right wing is inserted diagonally into the middle zone from the right side, and if nothing else, the two flanks will converge in the middle of the enemy army.

In this process, the 50,000 elite cavalry of the Chinese army did not move at all, and there was no intention of charging at all.

A strange charge!

The anomaly of the Inhuman Legion was quickly noticed by the Mongol army on the opposite side, and Kublai Khan got his revenge, suddenly got up from his seat, and grinned: "They really dare to come, okay, then have a good fight." ”

Although he became the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan had the blood of the steppe gold family flowing in his body, and he was a warrior and a general who killed countless enemies.

For the battlefield, Kublai Khan was not stage frightened at all.

On the contrary, the active provocation of the Inhuman Legion aroused the belligerent gene in Kublai Khan's body, and he could no longer contain the boiling blood in his body, and he was determined to fight a big battle.

"Hula! Hula! ”

Surrounding Kublai Khan were all elite Mongolian cavalry, and they were naturally fearless. As soon as the military ordered, one by one they turned into evil wolves, eager to choose people to devour.

Almost at the same time, the Mongol cavalry army moved, first the first line, then the second line, then the third line, and the fourth line, as if the mountains were overwhelming, and they were about to set off a stormy wave.

During the whole process, only Kublai Khan's phalanx was the center, and the surrounding five phalanxes did not move, and they were faithfully guarded all around, as the last line of defense to defend His Majesty the Emperor.

The wind is roaring, the horses are barking, and the earth is roaring.

At about 11 o'clock in the morning, a sudden cavalry confrontation was staged in the northern suburbs of Lin'an City.

Because the number of cavalry troops in the confrontation was too large, the charging cavalry stirred up billowing smoke and dust almost drowned the entire battlefield.

In the midst of this billowing smoke, the Chinese army of the Inhuman Legion began to move!
