Chapter 678: The overall situation has been decided, and we are ready to go south

The Vikings were obviously consumed by the ghost-faced priests, but not only did they make trouble with Guiyu's side of Lin Cheng, but they also ran to the pastures of Dahulitai to make trouble. .

It is said that there are only 500 Vikings, and now that the steppe gathers almost all the elite of the Mongol Khanate, it should be easy to catch them.

These Vikings came all the way from the Principality of Vladimir and were not familiar with the terrain here, so where could they hide?

But they hid in this way, often slipping out of the cracks in the encirclement of the Mongol pursuers, and then using those shells to harass them at any time, setting fire to people everywhere.

Wherever they went, they would leave a living mouth behind for that living mouth to speak, and as long as they handed over the ghost-faced priests of the temple, they would obediently leave.

At first, they asked for the Ghost Priest of the Temple, but the more they went, the clearer their goal became, as if they had been investigating and confirming the murderer of Yaroslav I.

This wave of rebellion continued until the opening of Da Ku Li Tai, Gui You and Nai Ma Zhen and others had no choice but to send heavy troops to guard the imperial city, and dispatched a large number of cowardly Xue Wei to escort them to the pasture of Da Hu Li Tai.

It was originally a joyful event of the Mongolian tribes, and it was originally a critical moment for the Mongol Khanate to fight openly and secretly to determine the candidate for the Great Khan, but it made a group of Vikings a miasma, and many people paid more attention to whether the Vikings were caught than Da Kuritai!

The goal of these Vikings has also become clearer, no longer to harass and Lin Cheng, but to go to the pasture to wander around, saying that they must get those Han people in the temple, otherwise they will never give up!

From the ghost-faced priests of the temple to the demand for those Han priests, the performance of the Vikings also made many people begin to waver.

They didn't trust Yang Jing and the others in the first place, but because of the great shaman's affection, now because the Vikings made it clear that it was these Han people who were doing the trouble, as long as they handed over the Han people, they would all be happy, and who didn't want to do this?

Many people actually don't care about Yang Jing's Han people, and there are many Han untouchables in Lincheng, pinching these Han people to death is like pinching ants to death, and not many people are concerned.

What they cared about was that if they agreed to the Vikings' request, it would be a slap in the face.

It will make people feel that the huge Mongol Khanate, with a large number of elites, except for a few people such as Batu who support their own troops and are unwilling to come back, almost everyone else has returned to the imperial court.

Gathered the most powerful army of the Mongol Empire, carried out carpet searches and arrests again and again, but they couldn't catch these 500 Vikings, but let them infiltrate again and again and make chaos everywhere?

In the end, they even had to agree to their request and exchange a few Han people for peace and tranquility.

There are also many rumors that these Vikings are evil spirits, who disappear by day and come out at night, and that they are already dead, but Yaroslav I summoned them back in order to seek revenge on the murderer.

Of course, although this is a rumor for most people, anyone with a real brain knows that the Vikings can evade the pursuit again and again, but they are afraid that there are internal informants and guides who are extremely familiar with the terrain around them, helping them.

In order to investigate the internal thieves, the Mongols were in chaos for a while, too many people were their advantage, but it was also their Achilles' heel, and they wanted to find a needle in a haystack if they wanted to find a Viking or a traitor from so many people.

Many Mongols are more inclined to hand over Yang Jing and other Han priests, and for the sake of these Han priests, the temple is also under pressure, and Naima Zhen is also urging the great shaman to knock on the side, just to let the great shaman hand over Yang Jing and others.

It is said that Yang Jing is under pressure from public opinion, but he doesn't usually go out much, so he can't feel the spurning of these people.

However, on this day, Guiyou and Naima Zhen finally came to Yang Jing's tent, and in a few words, they finally made it clear and clear.

They want to hand over Yang Jing and the others out, but it is a matter of the face of the Mongols, so now give Yang Jing a chance, let Yang Jing take Feng Ruochen and the others, leave on their own, and lure the Vikings out, so that the Mongolian army can take the opportunity to exterminate the Vikings who are in trouble!

Of course, in order to ensure Yang Jing's safety, Guiyou will send Mamluk mercenary regiments to protect Yang Jing along the way, these mercenaries have a deep hatred for the Vikings, and will never put Yang Jing in danger.

In fact, their earlier idea was that the Mongols could not hand over Yang Jing, so they let Yang Jing go out by himself, so as not to damage the face of the Mongols.

It's just that the great shaman doesn't agree to anything, so they can only retreat and let Yang Jing use it as bait to lure the Vikings out.

Yang Jingxin said that the days in Mongolia were almost over, and this trip to the muddy waters was also a mess, and it was time to leave, so he agreed.

Meng Ge and Guiyou have torn their faces, whether it is the Da Kulitai or the Naadam Conference, it will be a dragon fight, if Guiyou gets the throne, he will definitely destroy Meng Ge as soon as possible, and Meng Ge will not be able to sit still, there will definitely be a big war.

And the next thing, Yang Jing no longer has the authority to participate, plus the Vikings are so troublesome, Yang Jing's plans have been disrupted, the Mongols are so wary of Yang Jing, Yang Jing wants to fish in troubled waters is no longer possible.

Of course, if Yang Jing wanted to assassinate Guiyou or Naimazhen, or even Meng Ge, he would have had a chance to assassinate him, but now that the Vikings are wandering around, many tribes have strengthened their guards, and he has been exposed again, everyone pays attention to him, and it is impossible to assassinate him.

Besides, now Meng Ge and Yelu Chucai, and Guiyu Naimajin and other camps have maintained a delicate balance, which can make them struggle and internal friction for a long time.

If Yang Jing rashly assassinated one of them, the balance of victory would quickly tilt, and the chaos of this infighting would soon subside, but the gains would outweigh the losses.

This is what Yang Jing said and considered before, sometimes assassinating the enemy's collar may not be able to solve all problems, and that's what it means.

Although Guiyou and Naima's proposal really hit Yang Jing's heart, Yang Jing still showed resentment and dissatisfaction, and the great shaman felt guilty and didn't dare to come to see Yang Jing, so why wasn't Yang Jing like this?

The Great Shaman thought he was sorry for Yang Jing and eventually sold the child to Naima and Kiyu, but without the Great Shaman, Yang Jing would never have been able to do these things.

As for the Mamluk mercenary group, because they were killed and wounded by the Vikings at the city gate before, and Guiyou did not visit the dead and wounded brothers, they have long been dissatisfied, and they regard Yang Jing as a benefactor, and they are also very happy to be able to protect Yang Jing this time.

And an incident in their previous life also made them lose their hearts and turn into complete despair.

That was when Guiyou sent them to protect Lu Lige to Meng Ge's tooth tent and asked Meng Ge to restrain the Vikings from rebellion.

Lu Lige's popularity is excellent, and it is indeed a good choice for Guiyou to send this girl out.

Meng Ge looked down on Guiyou's cowardice, and said many times that Guiyou was not as domineering as Lu Lige, a girl, and was also very polite to Lu Lige.

It was only when it came to the Vikings that Möngke and Rulig had a disagreement and dispute, and Yale Taryn, who had been insulted by Rulig earlier, immediately jumped up and wanted to fight with Rulig's men.

Lu Lige is not a good talker, and the two immediately fought, and the result was naturally that Yale Taryn lost.

In order to calm things down, Meng Ge comforted his sister and sent Lu Lige out.

As a result, halfway through, Lu Lige was intercepted, and the Mamluk mercenaries resisted bravely, but Lu Lige was too brave to listen to the dispatch and did not enter the protective circle of the Mamluk mercenaries.

These mercenaries have their own tactics, and although the formation is also flexible and changeable, it takes a long time to change their course, and they have eaten some to protect Lu Lige, causing Lu Lige to suffer a lot of injuries.

After returning to Rulige, he also explained the situation to Guiyou and asked Guiyou to reward Mamluk's mercenaries.

Kegui was upset by the Vikings, and was under pressure to participate in the Great Kulitai, and was overwhelmed by the combination of Meng Ge and Yelu Chucai, and he had no time to take care of all this.

In addition, the Mamluk mercenary group was 3,000 and 500, and they didn't even catch the hair, and they were almost blasted by the Vikings, which has become a big joke in the Mongol Khanate, and Guiyu is unwilling to go out with the Mamluk mercenaries.

The Mamluk mercenary regiment, which had made him proud in the past, seemed to have become a disgrace to Guiyu, and he was not even willing to go to the Mamluk mercenary camp to inspect and visit.

Because he needed the support of the clan leader, Gui You turned to prefer the soldiers and horses of his own tribe, and absorbed a large number of young people from the tribe and entered the cowardly Xue Wei.

For these tribes, it was an honor, and they turned to support Guiyu, which was also a political bargain.

But the Mamluk mercenary group is not helpful to his political affairs at all, and in comparison, it is easy to ignore or even ignore the mercenary group.

Because of Guiyou's neglect and disgust, coupled with Yang Jing's preferential treatment and love for them, the slave-born Mamluk mercenaries, just such a comparison, will naturally be close and intimate, Guiyou sent them to protect Yang Jing, and the mercenaries are naturally very willing.

With these prerequisites, it was not difficult for Yang Jing to subdue the Mamluk mercenary group and persuade them to follow him south, which made Yang Jing feel pity and regret that he could not recruit the five hundred Viking Iron Bones as he wished.

No matter how brave these 500 people are, they are far from enough to be thrown on the battlefield of thousands of troops and horses, even if they are tactically proficient and not afraid of death, and really charge into battle, the role of 500 people is limited.

What really surprised Yang Jing, and he wanted to subdue them from the bottom of his heart, it was entirely because of Blackbeard's Leviathan's knowledge of the use of petroleum technology!

Yang Jing is a modern person, the use of oil is clear, the Central Plains may not have too many oil fields, but this era has not yet been opened, if you want to go to Zhao with your heart, you should be able to find it.

Moreover, Yang Jing also remembered that Shen Kuo once mentioned in the book that the drawings of Xianyun Mountain had Shen Kuo's notes, and it should not be difficult for Yang Jing to turn around and find one or two oil fields.

If there is a technical talent like Leviathan, after arriving in the south, it will definitely lead to a revolution in the military industry, and I dare not think about anything else, just talking about this kind of oil bomb, if it is mass-produced, abandon the shoddy slingshot, and instead use the Southern Song Dynasty's stone thrower and the like to shoot, the power will not be the same!

The cavalry of the Southern Song Dynasty was not a climate, but the foot soldiers could be called "unique in the world", in the impression of many people, the military of the Song Dynasty has always been weak, as if it is not good to talk about war.

In fact, if you consider it from a statistical point of view, the Song Dynasty won more and lost less in foreign wars, as long as it has these things, it will not be brought to the imperial court and equipped with Zongyun's righteous army, which is amazing.

It's a pity that the Vikings don't know what the hell to do, and they have rebelled at both ends, and it is really difficult to subdue these 500 people.

So far, Yang Jing can only promise Guiyou to prepare to go south, only hoping that luck will be better, the Vikings will really come to intercept him, and then see if there is still a chance to recruit them.
