"General Zhang saw that the lives were ruined, the people were in dire straits, and the hatred of the country and the family came to his heart, and he secretly swore to kill the Mongols in this life. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Although this Mo Laosan was poor, his words turned out to be majestic and majestic. A few coins were thrown into the bowl in the crowd, and Mo Laosan regained his bowed demeanor, bowed his hand to the broken bowl and thanked him again and again, then raised his head and continued:

"Once this great general was riding a horse and sword on the road, and saw three Mongolian cavalrymen from a distance escorting a group of Central Plains people back to the barracks, there were only adult men in the team, no old and young women and children, presumably the Mongol soldiers were afraid of being burdensome, so they killed them all, leaving only these adult men to take back to the barracks to enslave. The general Zhang rushed forward, and without saying a word, a sword split a Mongolian soldier in half, and another Mongolian soldier rushed forward, and was stopped by General Zhang and split in two. The remaining Mongol soldiers saw that they were powerful, and fled on horseback, and General Zhang chased after him, and after running a few hundred meters, he cut down his men and horses. ”

General Zhang carried the head of the Mongolian soldiers and led the war horse back, cut the shackles of this team of more than a dozen people, let them flee for their lives, this team of people are Mongolian soldiers from all over the loot, all family members are tragically killed in the hands of Mongolian soldiers, all witnessed the violence of Mongolian soldiers, at that time Mongolian cavalry soldiers were strong and strong horses, good at riding and shooting, all of them had the ability to reach ten, small groups of Song Dynasty officers and soldiers often fled when they saw the wind, and ordinary people could not even escape when they saw it, let alone resist. At this moment, when he saw General Zhang descending from heaven like a god, he indirectly hacked three Mongolian cavalrymen to death in an instant, and he was shocked at the moment and fell to the ground and bowed down. ”

"General Zhang ordered them to scatter and flee for their lives, and the Mongol army has disappeared and three sentries have returned to the camp, and they will definitely send a large army to search, maybe they will burn, kill, loot and retaliate."

"One of the captives understood that he refused to get up and kowtow again and again: 'Although the world is big, it is full of Mongolian iron horses, and there is no place for the Han people if there are Mongolian soldiers. The hero is so majestic, the little one follows you from birth to death to kill the Mongols. "At the moment, everyone agreed."

"General Zhang frowned and said, 'I am used to coming and going alone, but it is inconvenient for many people.' ”

"That humanitarian: The entire Central Plains has fallen under the iron hooves of Mongolia, Engong saves me today, and the Mongolians will come again in the future, and our lives will no longer be there, no different from Engong killing me with his own hands. If Engong does not comply, it is better to hack us to death on the spot today than to die by the sword of the Mongols. ”

As soon as General Zhang heard this, he immediately said, you can do it with me, but you have to agree to one thing!

We have fallen to this day, it is purely because the Great Song Dynasty government is cowardly and incompetent, the officers and soldiers do not seek to resist the enemy and save the country, but only know how to oppress the people, and I, Zhang Jue, disdain to be with them. Zhang Jue and the Mongols have a common enmity, my lifelong wish, not to tear the soil and seal the marquis, only to kill the Mongols!

If all the brothers follow me today, he can only fall into the grass in the future, no matter what happens in the future, one day he will die without a place to be buried. If you can accept it, we will bow down together, and we will be brothers in the future. If not, disperse.

The crowd of people who said this speech of General Zhang was excited, and they all raised their arms and shouted at the moment, in this life, they are willing to fight in the south and the north with Engong, not to tear the soil and seal the marquis, but to kill all the Mongols!

At that moment, everyone bowed, and General Zhang distributed the military horses and weapons stolen from the Mongolian soldiers to everyone.

Zhang Jue told everyone that the reason why the Mongolian cavalry dominated the world was that they grew up on horseback since they were children and were good at riding and shooting. On the other hand, they have been nurtured in an environment of the strong since they were young, fighting all year round, and their personalities are tyrannical and cruel. The pampered soldiers of the Central Plains are simply incomparable to them. In terms of individual combat ability, the Mongolian soldiers are not invincible in the world, but they retreat when they are strong, and go up when they are weak. Therefore, no one else can do anything about it.

If we want to confront the Mongol cavalry, we must adopt the same strategy as theirs, and treat them in the same way as others, avoiding large groups of Mongol cavalry, and killing small and lone cavalry.

At present, this group of people began to gallop in the northern part of the Central Plains, and in half a year, they even killed hundreds of Mongolian cavalry and rescued countless refugees.

This general Zhang has been cultivated in the Mongolian army all the year round, and naturally he also understands the living habits and military management strategies of the Mongols, and he understands that if he wants to be invincible like the Mongolian cavalry, he must be strict in managing the army. Therefore, he urged his subordinates to train hard in cavalry, archery, slashing, and slashing, and formulated a stricter army discipline than that of the Mongol cavalry.

In order to avoid worries, it was stipulated that after each battle, the army would distribute a part of the looted grain and grass to the refugees, and if they joined, only adult men were accepted, and women and children were not included.

Even so, there are more and more people who join, and there are many supporters, these people have a deep hatred with the Mongols, so they fight bravely, and General Zhang Da also taught everyone all his skills, the team soon grew stronger, and there were thousands of cavalry, where there were Mongolian cavalry, there were their figures, and the range of activities went deep into the territory of the Mongol Empire, and even as far as Yu'er Lake.

As their ranks grew, their targets shifted from scattered rangers to smaller Mongol cavalry units. After several years of campaigning, the combat power of the troops has been greatly improved, and it is even more ferocious than the Mongolian cavalry of the same size.

It turned out that this general Zhang Jue was born as a blacksmith and was proficient in forging, and he thought to himself that although his brothers were brave and not afraid of death, they still had a lot of gaps compared with the Mongols who were good at riding and killing since childhood. In order to reduce the casualties of his subordinates, he specially built equipment specially designed to restrain the Mongol cavalry.

This Zhang Jue general went on an expedition with the Mongolian army when he was a teenager, and knew the skills and habits of Mongolian cavalry and slashing, so he ordered people to forge iron armor to cover the most vulnerable parts of the people and horses, in addition to the standing cavalry combat weapons, each person was also specially equipped with a long-handled hook spear, which was sandwiched under the armpit when charging, and the spearhead was straight with the horse's body, or stabbed or hooked, and often poked the Mongolian cavalry under the horse before it was close, so the combat ability was greatly increased, because the Mongolian cavalry was defeated many times, and gradually made a reputation, Because this army has no name and is unscrupulous, the world calls it the Iron Cavalry according to its combat characteristics.

Soon, this non-official and non-civilian military force attracted the attention of Genghis Khan, and in the winter of that year, after annihilating a thousand-strong Mongol army, Genghis Khan was furious and personally led a large army, sending two of his best generals, Jebe and Sube, as the vanguard to pursue the Iron Cavalry.

With Zhang Jue's skills and skills, the Mongols would never be able to catch up with him. But now the army was no longer what it used to be, and there were thousands of men under his command, plus the baggage, grain and grass, and the looted booty, and the speed of march was greatly slowed. In addition, many generals began to carry their families with the army, so in the face of the lightly armed Mongolian elite cavalry, the team no longer had the flexibility that was as fast as lightning.

Although General Zhang explicitly forbade his subordinates to bring their families, and he himself had never married, he had no choice but to be kind at heart, and he couldn't be ruthless to deal with these brothers who were born and died with him. As a result, this army lost the ability to maneuver to survive, and the whereabouts of the brigade could not be concealed as before, and it was soon overtaken by the lightly armored Mongol cavalry, and after several major battles, the iron cavalry suffered heavy casualties. Most of the baggage equipment was lost, and there were only more than 1,000 people left.

The Mongol cavalry also paid a huge price, two thousand marquis were beheaded, thousands of cavalry were killed, and countless wounded. The iron cavalry was determined to die from top to bottom, and everyone died in battle, and no one lived as a prisoner.

The Iron Cavalry fought and retreated, and finally retreated to what is now the northern part of Shaanxi, where they were surrounded by 20,000 cavalry regiments of Zhebetsu and Subebetsu in an unnamed hill.
