The sky is clear.

More than 100 people galloped on the official road, such a scene is rarely seen in the Southern Song Dynasty, and what makes the generals along the way even more red is the extravagant one-person, two-rider or even three-rider of the other party, which is no longer just a lineup that can be described by the word luxury in the Great Song Dynasty, it can be regarded as a waste.

The dilemma of the Song Dynasty but the horse, since the Northern Song Dynasty lost the sixteen states of Yanyun, has begun, these years, as the northern region continues to be encroached upon by the Mongols, in the south, even in the army, this kind of high-headed horse has been rare, although there is a complete cavalry system, but basically these so-called cavalry in many cases are used as infantry to make, even if there is a horse, it is just a bantam horse from the middle of the river, whether it is speed or explosiveness, all of them have been completely exploded by Mongolian war horses.

If it weren't for the small number of this group of people, the fierce aura that came from the bones seemed to remind all the people who met them all the time that this group of people was not easy to mess with, if it weren't for the fact that the other party held the royal gold medal in his hand and replaced it with an ordinary horse team, I am afraid that there would be no underwear left by the generals along the way.

This is also the reason why Li Xuan chose this identity when he first entered the plane, at present, the entire Southern Song Dynasty, whether officials or the army, has been corrupted to the root after more than three hundred years of decay, and the atmosphere has been rotten to the root, Li Xuan does not want to put too much energy on these things that are not important to him, there is an identity of a prince, and it is the identity of a prince who holds real power, and it is much easier to do things than any heroes of the rivers and lakes.

"Lord Wang, there is a Mongolian army ahead, and there seems to be a lot of them." A sentinel sent out galloped on. Superb equestrian skills, he made a sudden stop in front of the team, and turned to follow Li Xuan's side, half a distance behind the horse's body, and at the same time reported to Li Xuan the information he had detected without panting.

For the Mongol army or something, there was not the slightest fear in his eyes. On the contrary, there was a strong excitement, even the elite of the Kipchak battalion was lost by them, ordinary Mongolian soldiers, for the general Southern Song Dynasty army, are naturally afraid of tigers, but when they get here, it should be the other party who should be afraid.

Although there were a lot of losses in the battle with the Kipchak battalion, more than half of the elite in Li Xuan's hands was directly lost, but judging from the observation of the past two days. The death of their companions, who got along day and night, although it put these soldiers in a sad slump at the beginning, but after coming out of that shadow of sadness, it showed the greatest gain in this tragic battle, a kind of invincible mentality.

It has always been said that the Song army is weak, but where is the specific weakness? Obviously, it will not be weapons and equipment, the Song Dynasty has reached the peak of a feudal era in this regard, weapons equipment and even various facilities. It can be called the best in the world, and the system may be one aspect. The Song Dynasty has set a strategy of strong cadres and weak branches since the beginning of the founding of the country, which once allowed the Song Dynasty to the most glorious period, but after the glory, no one has enough skills and ability to control it like Zhao Kuangyin, which also makes this system also bury disasters for the country.

Generals should also be an aspect, but by no means the main issue. There is the Song Dynasty, which can also be said to have produced many famous generals, Yue Fei, Yang Jiajiang, Yang Zaixing and even the veteran Meng Heng, who is now presiding over the Huai'an Theater, with the traces they left in history, even if it is placed in the era of famous generals such as the Three Kingdoms and the Sui and Tang Dynasties. is definitely a first-class top general, but the Song Dynasty obviously emphasized literature and light military background, and Shengsheng abolished these famous generals.

However, the real root cause is probably still in the fighting spirit of the Song army itself, the background of the era of emphasizing literature over military force, the extremely unequal social status, the era when men were ashamed of being soldiers, and the situation that they have always lost more and won less in foreign wars, has long destroyed the Song army's already small fighting spirit to the point that there is no scum left, even if the army in Li Xuan's hands, if it were not for Li Xuan's combination of modern cruel training and the continuous cultivation of their confidence and material abundance with small victories, compared with ordinary Song soldiers, It's just a strong and weak army.

However, the battle with the Kipchak battalion completely spurred out the seeds planted before, so that there was this kind of temperament that was almost impossible to appear in the Song army, and at this moment, even in the face of the Mongol army ten times its size, there would be no cowardice before the battle.

"Quite a few? How much is that? Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, now on the verge of a great victory, in the front line of the Song and Mongolian battles, from time to time there will be the Mongol army south to plunder, although at the moment, the Mongol army will concentrate its main forces on the front line of Xiangyang, seeking an opportunity to break the surface with a point, but in other aspects, it is naturally impossible for no one to garrison, in order to contain all sides The Song army cannot free up their hands to support.

With the general urine nature of the generals of the Song Dynasty, as long as they can't help but invade the city, they generally won't care about these steppe peoples who come and go like the wind occasionally going south to plunder, and they don't want to care.

"About five hundred, slaughtering a village, but it seems to be met with fierce resistance."

"Resistance!?" A look of surprise flashed in Li Xuan's eyes, and he nodded and said, "Let's go, go and have a look." ”

At present, the entire Southern Song Dynasty has a tacit attitude towards the Mongols plundering the villagers, and the general trend is like this, even if Li Xuan wants to manage it, he can't manage it, but since he has met it, as the king of Xiangyang, no matter his identity or position, he can't turn a blind eye, and he doesn't intend to be indifferent.

Five hundred Mongolian soldiers, put on other Song troops, I am afraid that even if they have five thousand soldiers and horses in hand, they may not dare to provoke, but here, even if there are only more than 100 people in their hands, they are confident that they will rush forward directly.

A group of soldiers who have been idle for several days, and the soldiers who are about to be idle, plus Tang Jun, a second-year teenager who obviously has a tendency to violence, heard that there was a fight, and he was also a Mongolian, and the originally somewhat sluggish love was instantly exploded, and there was an indescribable excitement in their eyes, and they couldn't wait to lend their legs to the war horse under their crotch, as for the number of the other party, they were directly ignored by this group of violent maniacs.

Bor looked angrily at the ruined village in front of him, and the anger in his chest burned.

As an excellent commander of the Great Mongol Empire, he will become a great figure like Marshal Ashu in the future, with five hundred strong Mongolian warriors behind him, and he was blocked by a small village.

Although it was just an ordinary raid, the tenacity of the village in front of him really ignited the anger in the chest of the Mongolian commander.

Shame, this is definitely the great commander since becoming a true Mongol warrior. The biggest shame, even if it is facing a group of weak Song soldiers, is better than being beaten by a group of farmers with hoes, and in his eyes the sense of shame brought by Shengsheng, who is not even comparable to pigs and dogs.

Some of the gloomy owls' gazes swept over a group of peasants with frightened expressions in their eyes, and finally landed on the scholar who was surrounded by the peasants in the center, holding a huge brush and lupine scarf in his hand.

With his eyesight. I can see that the reason why these farmers were able to summon up the courage to resist the Mongol warriors with their weak bodies was precisely because of this scholar.

He is a capable scholar.

In his heart, Boer Chiman gave a definition to this scholar who didn't even know his name, he had seen too many scholars in the Southern Song Dynasty, most of them were soft bones, but he didn't deny that among these readers, there were a handful of really capable characters. The one in front of him, although he doesn't know the name, but he has already seen the other party's ability.

With a wave of the scimitar in his hand, the Mongol warriors who were fighting hard in front of them quickly broke away from the battle, roaring and regrouping behind Borchiman, staring at the group of frightened farmers in front of them with wolf-like eyes, although the attack was blocked. But morale was not affected much, but because of anger. makes the fierce momentum even worse.

"Very well, you have succeeded in provoking my anger." With a hideous and bloodthirsty smile in his eyes as he looked at the scholar: "Now, as long as you hand over that scholar to me, I, Bol Chiman, can swear to the Immortal Heaven that I will leave and never touch a single grass or tree in this village again!" ”

Don't think of Mongolians as muscular men with muscular heads. Being able to sweep across the Eurasian continent and shock the world at one time is by no means something that a group of brainless horsemen can do, and they can be in the Mongolian army with strong men and strong style. To be in the position of a commander is enough to illustrate his abilities.

Today's Mongolia is in a period of rise, and the military atmosphere is far from being comparable to that of the Mongol army, which has begun to be corrupted by luxury in the world of Yitian.

Zhu Ziliu sighed with some regret, although he didn't look closely, he could also feel that the villagers around him who had respected him a moment ago had changed their taste after the Mongolian general said this, and even faintly had some ill-intentioned eyes falling on him.

"Mr. Zhu, ...... you look" The old village chief looked at Zhu Ziliu with some embarrassment, for them, it was obviously easier to deal with a scholar than to confront the Mongol army, although without this scholar, their village would no longer exist under the first round of impact of the Mongols just now, but people, always selfish animals, between kindness and the survival of the entire village, the old village chief did not hesitate for too long.

"The old village chief doesn't need to say it, Zhu understands." He always had an elegant demeanor on his face, and with his martial arts, it was impossible to destroy this Mongol army, but it was not difficult if he just wanted to escape.

"Boom~"

A sound like a flash flood suddenly sounded in his ears, and Zhu Ziliu subconsciously looked at the source of the sound.

"Sons, they all say that the Mongolian cavalry is invincible in the world, but this king has never believed it, today, let them see how powerful our Han people are in riding and shooting, are you afraid!?" Li Xuan took off the military folding bow obtained from the plane of the school from the horse, and asked loudly on the horseback of the galloping horse.

"Kill!" In the roar of the overwhelming sea, an elite general quickly took off the bow and arrow on the horse's back, bent the bow and arrows, and the sharp arrows broke through the air in an instant, and the whole action flowed smoothly, and it was only two breaths of time before and after, and at this time, the Bor Chiman over there had just turned the horse's head.
