Chapter 467: The Time Has Arrived (1/2 for I Don't Know Greetings)
This person is Li You, although he did not arrange the rejection of horses and trenches when he set up camp, but he prepared a new thing for Ali Hague, on the way from the city gate to the camp, he placed many mines detonated by pulling ropes, which were carefully built by the craftsmen in Zheng He's fleet under his guidance, which was originally prepared for the army of Boyan, but he did not expect to be pulled out by Ali Hague.

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Ali Hague to have any reaction, explosions sounded one after another among the Mengyuan cavalry, and countless Mengyuan cavalry wailed and fell off their horses, even if they were not directly injured, the frightened and galloping horses here also made them unable to sit firmly on the saddle, and the neat formation of the Mengyuan cavalry became scattered.
Hit the trick! Ali Hague's heart froze, he didn't know what the Song army had come up with to break out such an amazing explosion, which was much more powerful than rejecting horses and trenches, "Go back to the city, go back to the city quickly!" Ali Hague desperately restrained his horse and shouted to his soldiers to retreat.
Return? This is not something that can be solved by pinching a scroll, and now it is too late to go back, Li You sneered and disappeared into the darkness and took out the sky-shaking bow, while Zheng He walked forward and commanded the Great Open Fire Gunner, who had been in ambush for a long time, to start attacking the cavalry under Ali Hague, and the shooting sound sounded like bursting beans, and the Mengyuan cavalry exposed to the fire fell to the ground one after another.
And at this time, Li You also found Ali Hague, and fired three arrows in a row, Ali Hague wanted to avoid but was dragged down by the horse that sat down and galloped wildly, and the eagle arrow shot by Li You hit him in the chest.
Li You's preparations were not limited to these, after all the mines were exploded, the cavalry hidden in the Song army camp began to move, starting from both wings, and in front were infantry wearing heavy armor, armed with large axes and hemp knives, Yue Wumu's skills left in the past were always inherited by some people.
The heavy infantry advanced from the front, the cavalry outflanked from both flanks, the Mongol cavalry was first dizzy by mines, and now there is no Ali Hague to command the army, so they can only fight separately, how is this the opponent of the Song army? The guards in the city wanted to go out of the city to meet Ali Hague, but now they were afraid that the Song army would take the opportunity to steal the city, and they were in a dilemma for a while.
Before they could make up their minds, the battle outside the city had come to an end, and except for the hundreds of cavalry who had fallen behind and immediately turned around and fled, the remaining 2,000 people followed Ali Hague to Huangquan together. The Song army began to pursue at the end of the line, wanting to take advantage of the defeat to enter the city.
At this time, the defenders in the city don't say that they should go out of the city to meet the enemy, and it would be good not to be attacked by the Song army, so they quickly closed the city gate and threw the hundreds of cavalry outside the city.
When it was dawn the next day, the guards in the city couldn't help but be surprised when they saw the scene in front of them, only to see that the front of the Song army's camp was full of blackened pits, and the corpses of countless Mengyuan cavalrymen were scattered around the pits; Looking at the flagpole at the gate of the Song army's camp, the corpse of Ali Hague was hung.
It is not clear to see the face from such a distance, but from the style of the armor, it seems that it is indeed this famous general, and there is no trace of Ali Hague among the remnants of the soldiers who went around the city gate on the other side to enter the city.
Even the commander died at the hands of the Song army, and the defenders in the city became more and more frightened, and they no longer dared to go out of the city to meet the enemy, so they could only watch Li You lead the army to loot the armor and weapons on the Mengyuan cavalry, and then swaggered out the camp and boarded the ship; At this time, the defenders of the city seemed to have mustered up a little courage and wanted to take advantage of the Song army to make a surprise attack, but unfortunately they were hit back by cannonballs fired from the Qiantang River when they were still a mile away.
This battle is also the use of the Mongolian army's ignorance of hot weapons to win easily, if the Song army wins head-on, it will not be so easy, but what makes Li You feel relieved is that the heavy infantry and cavalry of the Song army played quite well, compared to the time of Yashan, I don't know how many times better, in addition to the skill bonus of "Liuru", from Yashan to Quanzhou to Lin'an Mansion, the successive victories of the Song army made these soldiers eliminate the fear of the Mengyuan cavalry, and gradually became confident It is also an important reason, And the latter made Li You even more pleased.
"It's a pity, Ali Hague is dead, and now the army in the city is unstable, if you immediately besiege the city and storm it, you may not be able to break through the city." Back on the boat, Zhang Shijie still had some regrets.
"Even if you can attack it, the losses will be very large, and some of the gains will outweigh the losses." Li You is still the same old saying, now that his strength is insufficient, it is not much good to fight a tough battle with the Yuan army, "But Zhang Shumi, please rest assured, it won't be long before there will be a tough battle to be fought." ā
After killing Ali Hague, the Song army seems to have become more courageous, they will always avoid the well-defended city in the past, now as long as the troops in the city are not many, the Song army will attack mercilessly, in just one month from Pingyang Prefecture to Songjiang Prefecture coastal states and counties were attacked by the Song army, Ah Shu led the soldiers and horses to run but found nothing.
After the news of Ali Hague's death spread, Kublai Khan was shocked, water warfare has always been Mengyuan's shortcoming, Zhang Hongfan's burial in Yashan is certainly surprising, and the ability to instigate the capital is limited, so the death of both of them is not as big as the impact of Ali Hague's death on Kublai Khan; Now that even famous generals like Ali Hague have lost to the Song army in land battles, so Ah Shu and Boyan don't seem to be safe?
So Kublai Khan immediately responded, he sent more soldiers and horses south to aid Boyan and Ashu, a team of elite Mongolian cavalry left from Zhongshu Province, and came to Jianghuai Province and Fujian Province to help Boyan and Ashu prepare for attacks from the sea, Boyan also recovered Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, but unfortunately Mrs. Xu had already led the troops into the mountains, leaving him with an empty city. The scattered Yuan army was still under constant attack, so these forces were still unable to return to the north.
On the sea, Li You carefully read all kinds of news from the land, slowly analyzed the distribution of the Yuan army's forces on the map, and after a long time, he showed a smile, got up and came to the generals, "Now that the time has come, it is time to teach Meng Yuan a profound lesson, pass the order down, set sail north."
