In a three-day battle to defend the city, more than half of the more than 23,000 Song troops died, and only about 9,300 people walked out of the city alive. With such a big loss, not to mention Lin Heng, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Hong Qigong and others were silent. Fortunately, there is also good news, that is, tens of thousands of Mongolian troops who attacked the city died. Although they do not have an exact number, it is believed that less than half of the Mongols probably survived the fire.

Of the 50,000 or 60,000 people, less than half, that is, 20,000 or 30,000 people died, and if you add the tens of thousands of people who died in the siege of the city in the first three days, they would have died 30,000 or 40,000 people in this battle.

Estimated at this number, Lin Heng's goal of consuming 50,000 people seems to have been preliminarily achieved. Of course, if the city in the back consumes another forty or fifty thousand people, it will be even more perfect.

The Mongols were calculated by Lin Heng, and they were naturally furious, especially when they got that huge loss figure, they hated the Song people even more.

Lin Heng and others' estimates are not right. The number of deaths is estimated by Lin Heng and others, about 50,000 people, but what about the injured? In a big battle between the two armies, you can't count the wounded. It is impossible not to get injured after walking around in the fire, even if the Mongols can rush out, some of them will have burns, and some serious ones will even die of ineffective treatment, even if they are not serious, it is impossible to fight immediately.

Therefore, this fire, Lin Heng not only burned twenty or thirty thousand people, but more than forty thousand. With such a large number, combined with the 30,000 dead and wounded in front, they have already determined that the loss is more than 70,000.

This is just attacking one city and losing so many people, if one by one is defeated, how many people will have to be lost!

The Mongols could not have imagined that someone thought of dividing the army, but it was immediately rejected. The reason is simple. That is, when the Mongols attacked the city for the first time, they were broken by the Song army, although they came this time, but if the Song army really seized the opportunity, it was impossible to say that they would have to come again. So, they still concentrated all their forces.

In the end, Meng Ge even issued an order for the people to occupy the city and temporarily guard the city, while the army continued to advance without dividing the army.

The Mongols who went crazy were terrible. No, as soon as Lin Heng and the others entered the next town, the Mongol army rushed over, they surrounded the city without hesitation, and then the army attacked directly. It's just that this time the Mongol army's attack is very strange, they are no longer attacking with four gates, but concentrating their forces on attacking one.

The Mongol army did this because they were afraid of repeating the mistake of the first time, but in order to prevent the Song army from escaping, they still besieged the city. In their opinion, as long as the Song army had a chance to relax, then the Mongolian army would be able to annihilate them all, instead of disappearing silently, just like Xiang Lu last time.

Watching the movements of the Meng army, Lin Heng once again handed over the task to General Wang Shou, and at the same time asked people to secretly send a message, asking Guo Jing, Huang Rong and others to gather the beggar disciples in the back door, and he himself secretly moved his troops.

In the evening, something unexpected happened to the Mongols, and the Song army broke through. They really didn't expect that the Song army would break through so quickly, and it would be a thunderbolt when they moved. In fact, this is thanks to the Mongols, if they didn't only attack one door, so that Lin Heng had the conditions to move his troops, he would not have broken through so quickly. His breakthrough this time was to concentrate all his forces, cooperate with the sneak attack of the beggar gang disciples, and storm the 30,000 army at the back gate. More than 30,000 people against more than 30,000 people, the Song army had no advantage in numbers, but first those beggar disciples attacked, and then they pressed up, this assault, the Mongolian army was caught off guard, and soon defeated the Mongolian army, and the Song army also took advantage of this to quickly break through.

When Meng Ge received the news, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he immediately ordered people to enter the city, and the army chased after Lin Heng and the others without stopping. But he didn't know what to do, and not long after he left, a group of Song troops walked out of the secret passage that Lin Heng had prepared. They closed the gates, killed all the Mongols in the city, and retook the city.

This is Lin Heng's backhand.

The Mongolian army had 300,000, which was said to be enough to sweep the Great Song Dynasty, but they didn't dare to ignore the surprise attack, because Lin Heng had come to burn Nanyang with one hand and gave them a fatal blow. This forced them to carefully protect their logistics. In the past, they advanced step by step, and Lin Heng had no choice. This time, Lin Heng took advantage of the opportunity given by the Mongols to directly kill the horse pistol, and let Guo Jing lead a group of Song troops to take over the city, and pretend to be Mongolian, waiting for the Mongolian army's grain and grass to be automatically delivered to the door.

On the other side, when Lin Heng retreated to the next town, the Mongolian army also caught up, but this time, Lin Heng did not run. He asked Hong Qigong and Huang Rong to lead half of the soldiers and horses to gather on the side of the front door, while he led the troops to be stationed on the other side. In this way, the soldiers and the town formed a great wall, blocking the way of the Mongol army. Of course, there is also a danger in doing so, that is, the Mongolian army can send iron cavalry to directly chisel through the Song army. In order to prevent this possibility, Lin Heng had already let people finish deep ravines on both sides of the city, and directly led the water of the moat into it, and built a pontoon bridge on it.

In this way, if the Mongolian iron cavalry charged, at most it would break the Song army's formation, and then be blocked by the water's edge. He believed that the Mongols would not have been so unwise as to let the cavalry come and send them to their deaths.

Sure enough, when the Song army was stationed outside the city and digging in the moat, it was detected by the Mongol army, and Meng Ge decisively ordered the army to stop advancing. This time, although he was angry, he did not let the army attack immediately, but camped on the spot and carefully considered countermeasures to break the enemy. The Mongols were many superior and knew a lot about marching and fighting. Soon, they came up with a solution, which was to storm it.

On the battlefield against the enemy, intrigues and tricks are indeed useful, but most of them are not very useful, and the most used is yang conspiracy, that is, their own strong strength. Compared to the Song army, the Mongolian army was strong enough. Now, the Song army is spread out on three sides, showing a long appearance, and because of the relationship between the city, they cannot support each other. This gave the Mongolian army a chance. They could have sent a three-way army, one army to attack the city, and two armies to attack the Song army on both sides.

The Mongolian army has the strategy of the Mongolian army, and Lin Heng has Lin Heng's considerations. Do you think he doesn't know that Lu Dao is not good for Song Jun by doing this? However, there is no way around it. If he defends the city, then the Mongol army will definitely besiege the city, and now they have been attacking the city, but after they can lose more people, will they still attack it? If they come to a siege and don't attack, then wouldn't Lin Heng be dumbfounded?

That's right, Lin Heng prepared a lot of supplies, compared to the Mongolian army, he took advantage, but doing so would be too big a blow to the morale of the Song army, and he came out to consume the vitality of the Mongolian army, not to consume time with him. Therefore, he had to be flexible in order to kill the Mongols as much as possible.

The Great War broke out again, and another hard resistance to the Mongols began. In the city, Lin Heng was not worried, he was worried about the Song army on both sides. There were not many of them in number, but now there are even fewer troops, and it is not possible to fight with the Mongols to consume each other, so he must think of some ways to keep himself and consume the Mongol army.

For this reason, Lin Heng hoarded a large number of stone-throwing carts and bows and arrows in this city, and let them use stone-throwing carts and bows and arrows to block the enemy.

It's a terrible idea, but it's very applicable. Archers and catapults attacked from afar, and other soldiers attacked with bows and arrows, so that when the Mongol army came closer, they had already lost a large number of men, and if they attacked continuously, they gave the catapults and archers an opportunity.

This is only Lin Heng's first method, the second method, he gathered all the Mongolian horses captured some time ago, divided them into the armies on both sides, and attacked the Mongolian army with a fire horse array.

The horses that were set on fire were crazy, and even the Mongolian army had no way to run. Think about it, how spectacular and unstoppable the scene of thousands of fire horses galloping.

These two methods brought Lin Heng a day. After a day's blockade, the Song army lost less than the Mongol army for the first time, and much less. Of course, this doesn't count as supplies. If in the eyes of others, Lin Heng is a complete loser, but for Lin Heng from later generations, talent is the most important. Therefore, he did not stop a large number of horses and launched a fire horse array.

At night, the Mongols launched a sneak attack, but the cautious Lin Heng did not let them succeed, and used the remaining horses to come to the fire horse camp. It's a pity that he has too few horses, although it looks very powerful, but in fact, he doesn't dare to let his army storm the Mongol military camp, because it is obviously meat buns and dogs!

The next day, the Mongol army did not attack early, but dragged on until the afternoon. This time, the Mongol army changed their strategy again, and they followed Lin Heng's method on the first day, and they shamelessly used archers to shoot at the Song army. Speaking of which, it's also to blame the Song army, why do you say that you don't shoot as far as the Mongols?

When the Mongols gave full play to their advantages, the Song army could really only be beaten passively. Lin Heng saw the dense rain of arrows, and had to order the Song army to retreat across the moat, while the Mongolian army pressed further. Seeing this, Lin Heng knew that his plan had failed, he shook his head, directly withdrew the pontoon bridge, and ordered all the troops to retreat.

The Mongols wanted to pursue, but strangely, Möngke ordered the troops to retreat. Everyone didn't know what was going on, but the Great Khan's orders still had to be listened to, but Lin Heng thought of a possibility.
