He Qiman comforted the war horses under him, looked at the Song troops who were just a stone's throw away in the distance, took a heavy breath, spat in a depressed mood, and said hatefully: "Although I knew that the Song army was very good at escaping, now it seems that I still underestimated them a little before, these soft eggs who can't get on the table!" ”
Several centurions around him did not speak, these words were naturally angry words, including the Heqi man who said this, they all knew very well how difficult this small force of the Song people was, since a month ago, this small force was in the area of Funiu Mountain, and burned a whole team of grain and grass.
The Mongolian army gathered 200,000 troops in the Xiangyang area this time, and the grain and grass required were naturally not a small amount, the loss of a team of grain and grass, with the grain and grass transferred from all sides, was just the loss of a team of grain and grass, and the problem was not big, but this force was extremely treacherous, never confronted the Mongolian army head-on, but just shuttled through the mountain trails, and selected the Mongolian army's grain team to start, and regardless of success or failure, one blow was gone, and after a few days, even the pioneer general Ali Hague had to pay attention to this matter.
In fact, the Song Dynasty's lingering martial arts people who were like flies interfered with the Mongolian grain route for more than a day or two, but after all, the martial arts people were different from the regular army, and they might succeed once or twice, but after a long time, the Mongols also took precautions, and even specially formulated a set of effective plans for this purpose, and severely suppressed the Song Dynasty warriors several times. Retract to Xiangyang and concentrate on defense.
It's just that this time the opponent is obviously not an ordinary martial arts person, well-trained, and never loves to fight. That crisp and decisive style, I dare not say how powerful the combat power is, but in terms of discipline, it is definitely a well-trained elite.
When did the Great Song Dynasty have such a force, Ali Hague doesn't know, but the other party's existence has really affected the 200,000 army.
The number of opponents is not large, and this is not difficult to find out from the traces left by several shots. The number of the other party is only a few hundred, at first, Ali Hague didn't care, just wanted to ambush by ordinary means, but the other party is not easy to mess with, has a strong insight, is elusive, and will send the troops to play around. But he didn't even touch the shadow of the other party, and he ambushed him several times. On the contrary, he let his side lose his troops and even destroyed a lot of grain and grass, and at this time, Ali Hague finally noticed the difference in his opponent this time, and began to face it squarely, and even sent an elite team. The unit that was specifically responsible for chasing and killing this Song people.
"Master, it's been investigated." On Li Xuan's side, Qiandaoyue's figure appeared beside Li Xuan silently, bowed down and said.
"Which team is it?" Li Xuan was also really curious about the Mongolian army hanging behind him like kraft candy.
Elite. Absolute elite, not a chaotic Three Kingdoms plane, in the plane that Li Xuan has experienced, the current force chasing him is definitely the most elite one, even if it was in the Tianlong plane, he personally built the elite of the six countries, and even beat the Jurchen clan, which is known as invincible, to the point that he can't raise his head, may not be as good as the current one, the few traps originally prepared, but they were forced to break through by the other party with bravery, if it is really right, this little bit of people and horses at hand is really not enough.
"Back to the master, the other party's banner is the Kipchak Battalion." Qiandao Yue replied.
"Kipchak battalion?" Li Xuan looked at Tang Jun, the young general who had changed his face just by hearing the name of this army, the Mongolian army in this period due to the lack of the number of the Mongols themselves, but absorbed a lot of foreign combat power, Mongols, Han people, and many grassland peoples and ethnic minorities conquered by the Mongols, at least Li Xuan has not fully understood how many races there are.
"Lord, the Kipchak battalion is a completely composed of Semu people, in the Mongolian army, it is second only to the Mongolian imperial cavalry, brave and good at fighting, every battle must be the first, my army, I don't know how many sons and daughters are lost under this group of grandson butcher knives." Tang Jun's slightly immature face, in addition to the bitter hatred, there was also an unspeakable panic.
"Lord Wang, why don't we withdraw!" After hesitating for a moment, Tang Jun said with a somewhat unpleasant face, it was not that he was timid, but the Kipchak battalion was too strong, in the past, there had been a Kipchak battalion of 100 people, and he dared to attack a 10,000-person phalanx of the Song army, and finally won the brilliant battle, and now he has less than 300 men on his side, but he is facing the 3,000 Kipchak battalion that is almost overwhelming, even if he has followed Li Xuan to win one battle after another, but at this moment, in the face of the Kipchak battalion, there is a huge disparity between the enemy and me, and there is not much confidence in his heart.
Li Xuan's sword eyebrows were slightly raised, looking at the three hundred guards who had instantly dissipated the morale of the three hundred guards who had been beaten in January just because of the other party's number, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, take a look." ”
Although after months of rectification and training, it can barely be called well-trained, but it is obviously still a long way from a truly strong army.
This army, after more than half a year of training, already has the foundation of a strong army, but in order to really become a strong army, training and sophisticated equipment alone is absolutely not enough, the era of cold weapons, the most important thing, or the military heart, this army has become a strong army of a foundation, what is lacking now is a kind of military soul belonging to this army, although the current Kipchak battalion has let itself fall into a bitter battle, but it is also an opportunity for this army to truly transform into a strong army.
"Lord Wang?" A touch of anxiety flashed on Tang Jun's face, the strength of the Kipchak camp has been carved into the bones of the Song army, not to mention that now there is a huge disparity between the enemy and me, and there is no chance of winning at all.
"Don't worry, I'm measured." Li Xuan looked back at the young general deeply, and said lightly: "What about the elite?" During this period of time, are there still fewer elites to destroy? ”
Tang Jun's young face instantly turned red, although Li Xuan didn't say much, but the thick disappointment in his eyes made the young general feel an unspeakable shame, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Obey the prince's order!" ”
Looking at the young general whose originally low morale rose instantly, Poison Island looked at Li Xuan and praised with a smile: "The teacher is really amazing, just a look has saved the low morale." ”
"Please don't be as good as agitating generals, the Great Song Dynasty has been oppressed by foreigners for too long, and the blood and pride in the bones of the soldiers have been almost consumed, what we have to do now is not to boil their physique, but to let them rebuild their confidence."
"Tang Jun, what kind of boundary is this?" Li Xuan turned his head and looked at the young general who had regained his excitement and asked, After a few days of chasing, Mo said that he was not familiar with the Kipchak camp in the southern terrain, and even Li Xuan, half of the country, had a feeling of dizziness.
"Back to the prince, I have reached the boundary of the Qinling Mountains, and if you go west, you will reach the boundary of the Zhongnan Mountain." Tang Jun hurriedly replied.
"Heh, you can run far enough." Li Xuan laughed a little, from Dasheng Pass to Zhongnan Mountain, he almost crossed half of Shenzhou, and thought for a while: "Is anyone familiar with the terrain in this area?" ”
Tang Jun and a group of guards looked at each other when they heard this, most of these people were soldiers recruited from the Jiangnan area, although they had a general understanding of the terrain in the south, but if they were concentrated in this area, they only knew a rough idea.
"Send someone to Zhongnan Mountain, ask the Quanzhen Sect to find a person who is familiar with the geography of this area, and if you want to destroy the Kipchak camp, you can't do it, you can't say it, you have to use the power of the rivers and lakes." Li Xuan thought about it and said, during this time, he has been dealing with the Mongols, I don't know if his reputation among the people and even in the rivers and lakes has improved, but during this time, every time he destroys a Mongolian army or destroys a grain and grass, he will get a hint of the prestige of his own plane.
"Yes, my subordinates will send someone to go." Tang Jun agreed, and was about to order someone, but was stopped by Li Xuan.
"Wait, you go in person, and it can be regarded as showing our sincerity to the other party." Li Xuan stopped speaking, after all, the Quanzhen Sect is the first sect in the current martial arts, and its status is extraordinary, just a small pawn to go, and it is inevitably a little rude in terms of etiquette, and now he intends to win over the forces of the rivers and lakes, and the etiquette naturally cannot be bad.
"Subordinates obey!" Tang Jun nodded and bowed down to receive the order.
"I will leave marks along the way, and during this time I will take these people to walk in the mountains, and after inviting people, I will come to meet them myself."
"Whoa!" Seeing that Li Xuan had no other instructions, Tang Jun agreed, ordered two guards to pat their horses and gallop away.
"Lord Wang, the enemy is starting to move." Behind him, a guard who was in charge of guarding and monitoring the movements of the Kipchak camp said.
"It's really annoying, let's go too!" Li Xuan spat out, glanced back at the dust raised by the galloping military horses in the distance, and waved his hand.
