Chapter 161: Helplessness
The remnants of the army were defeated, and they kept beating horses and galloping out of a hundred miles, until they left the Song Realm and entered the south of Weishui in Qinzhou, Jinjing, and Subutai stopped moving forward and began to collect the rout.
"Tari, count the soldiers and horses."
Subutai's face was pale, and he was weak to speak.
"Subutai, there are only more than 3,000 warriors left."
After Tari finished counting the men, his face was also ugly.
"Go back, kill Song Jun by surprise!"
There are only more than 3,000 riders left, and the speed is not like a knife, and the body is trembling.
Of the more than 20,000 troops, only more than 3,000 remained. This trip to the Song Realm can be described as a fiasco!
"The speed is not enough, the infantry are all finished, there are no craftsmen, and the cavalry goes back, and there is no way to attack the city. Let's withdraw our troops! ”
Hearing that Subutai was going to kill back, Tari, who had only one ear left, quickly dissuaded him.
The Song army had artillery and was not afraid of the Mongol cavalry at all. What's more, the Song army had as many as 60,000 or 70,000, and the Song Emperor drove the expedition in person, and the Mongolian army did not have tens of thousands, so I am afraid that it would not be able to engage in the battle.
The 3,000 remnants of the army wanted to sneak attack the Song army in the strong wall and clear the field, and Su Butai was annoyed and ashamed, but he just wanted to save face.
"What, are you all scared? It's a big deal, the Song army doesn't have many cavalry, and the range of bows and arrows is not enough, maybe you can kill the Song army unexpectedly! ”
Su Butai said with a dark face, completely ignoring the apprehension of the generals.
The generals were helpless and looked at each other. The Song army's bows and arrows could not be shot, but the artillery could hit them. With the invincibility of the Song army's artillery, these thousands of remnants who have lost their fighting spirit are probably not enough for the other party to stuff their teeth.
What's more, as soon as he enters the Song Realm, the other party will light a wolf smoke to warn, there is no food and grass, what will the army eat and drink?
"Sobutai, let's take a rest first. Some of the soldiers are still on the way, and once the army leaves, they are too few in number, and it is very likely that they will be hunted down by the Jin. ”
Tari touched his ears and grinned.
If nothing else, his ears also need to be treated.
"The soldiers will rest all night, and they will return to the Song Realm tomorrow night, and kill him without leaving a piece of armor!"
Subutai said fiercely, got off the horse, and suddenly stumbled. Chawuer's eyes were quick and he hurriedly held on.
"Sobutai, are you alright?"
Tari asked in surprise as he looked at the trembling Subutai.
"Subutai, you're injured!"
Touching the blood on Subutai's back, Cha Wur cried out in shock.
"Stop howling! A little bit of a swash on the shoulder, nothing serious. Don't mess with the morale of the army! ”
Subutai frowned, stopping Chawur's screams.
The troops carefully pulled out the iron piece and took off the armor of Subutai, and under Subutai's shoulder, a half-foot-long wound was still bleeding.
After clearing the wound, applying medicine, and bandaging the wound, although it did not hurt the muscles and bones, Chaur still persuaded him.
"It's not fast, the wound is not shallow, if it weren't for the armor, I'm afraid it would be bad. You need to get some rest! ”
The wound is deep, and I am afraid that I can't ride a fast horse, so as not to rupture the wound and affect the recovery.
"I said it's not a big deal, I can't die!"
Su Butai looked at Chawuer, whose face was pale, and his eyes widened.
"Aren't you scared, Chawur?"
"I don't, I don't. I'm just worried about your injuries. ”
Chawur hurriedly said with a smiling face.
Song's firearms were sharp, and he was able to break through the iron armor, and in his heart, it was not an ordinary fear.
"Subutai, Chawur is worried about your injury. You get some rest and eat something. ”
The head bag is like a dumpling, and he quickly persuaded Subutai.
Losing troops and losing generals, Su Butai will definitely be unhappy, and he doesn't dare to spill his anger on Chawuer.
Subutai snorted coldly and sat down on the mound beside him.
Tari winked, and Chagur and the other Mongol generals quietly moved away from Subutai.
At this time, whoever provokes a bad mood is definitely asking for trouble.
"Su Butai, Emperor Song drove a personal expedition, an army of seventy or eighty thousand, it seems that he had prepared early. Just look at the point. ”
Tari said cautiously, persuading him to go to speed.
In fact, he wanted to persuade him to return to the army. The tens of thousands of troops of the Song army attacked, and with just these few thousand people, there was no possibility of victory.
Subutai's face was ugly, and he sat on the ground without saying a word.
"This time to attack the city of Chuzhou, the Song army seems to have been prepared. Not to mention the arrest of many people, there was no food, property, jewelry, and even medicine for the wounds of the soldiers was difficult to find. Song Jun has been prepared for a long time, so let's be careful. ”
Tari sat on the ground and continued, whispering softly, as pleasantly as possible.
Hundreds of battles in Subutai, the fiasco of Song Realm, is the first time.
"Tari, are you scared too?"
Su didn't raise his head or raise his head, and said coldly.
"Subutai, you rest first, be careful of the wound."
Tari quickly stood up and walked away in amusement.
Su Butai was annoyed and angry, and he must take revenge.
He actually wanted to remind Subutai that the Song army was menacing, and he was afraid that he would move his army north and seize the Mongolian army camp in Lintao Mansion. After thinking about it, I still don't want to open my mouth.
The Song army is strong and strong, if they don't go to Taiwan quickly, they have to lead the army to save them, and these remnants of the army are defeated, won't they give their lives in vain again?
It is better to have more than one thing to live a long life.
The next day, the routs came one after another, until evening, when the army was assembled, and the number of men was counted, and there were five or six hundred more horsemen, and there were four thousand. Subutai insisted on his own views and led the army, and he was going south again and re-entering the Song realm.
Tari and the others didn't dare to say anything, and went all the way south with a bitter face.
The army had not gone for several miles, and the smoke and dust were billowing from the west, and countless Mongol cavalry came on horseback, and when they came to a stop, all of them with frightened faces.
"Wurile, aren't you in Lintao Mansion? How did you get here? ”
Seeing that the army was gray-faced, like frightened birds, Su Butai's heart sank, and he immediately asked.
There are still 2,000 elite soldiers stationed in Lintao Mansion, how can they leave for no reason?
"Subutai, the Song army is overwhelming, tens of thousands of cavalry, and they also carry firearms, they are too fierce, the camp of Lintao Mansion was destroyed, and the looted things were also taken by the Song army!"
Uzhile was frightened and turned pale.
Tari let out a "groan" in his heart. Sure enough, the Song Emperor drove the expedition in person, and tens of thousands of Song troops were violent, and they really came prepared, not just to reinforce the city of Chuzhou.
But it's okay to do this, maybe you will break off the speed and continue to find Song Jun's desperate thoughts.
"You useless wretch!"
The seven orifices that are not fast and angry are smoking, and raising their hands is a whip.
Lintao Mansion was lost, and the grain, grass, baggage, gold and silver treasures, and tens of thousands of war horses seized by Xiliang Mansion and Lanzhou, as well as Lintao Mansion, were also handed over to the Song army.
This is the humiliation of the Mongolian army! It's also an unbearable shame for him to be speedy!
Not a day and a night, the cavalry of the Song army marched more than 200 miles in a hurry, and rushed straight to Lintao Mansion, the soldiers were very fast, isn't this the game of the Mongolian army?
"Come back with me! Follow me to retake Lintao Mansion! Destroy the Song army! ”
Su Butai's face turned pale, and he immediately turned his horse's head and was about to run to Taofu.
"Subutai, tens of thousands of troops of the Song army, we are all cavalry, and we have no siege equipment, if you want to break Lintao City, I'm afraid it won't work."
Tari plucked up his courage and quickly persuaded him.
Four or five thousand cavalry, wanting to break the Lintao City occupied by tens of thousands of Song troops, isn't this a joke with the lives of the soldiers?
"Subutai, that's what Tari said. If you want to destroy the Song army, you should go back, regather the soldiers and horses, and bring craftsmen and siege equipment, so that you can kill the Song army in one go. ”
It was a matter of his own life, and Cha Wuer also persuaded Su Butai hard.
"If you can't do it, the Song army is powerful and can't be strong. On our way back, the Song soldiers and horses could not see the end at a glance, not to mention 50,000 or 60,000. Lintao Mansion has been lost, and if there are no thirty or forty thousand people, I am afraid it will be difficult to regain it! ”
Urile endured the burning pain on his face and exhorted loudly.
If he hadn't brightened his eyes and led his subordinates to flee, he would have been made dumplings.
"You unseeded fools!"
Su Butai was furious and scolded loudly.
Without foot soldiers and craftsmen, it is indeed impossible to break the city. But it's always okay to go back and take a spin and see how it goes.
These guys, I'm afraid they were frightened by Song Jun's firearms!
"Come back with me! See what's going on? ”
Su Butai waved his horsewhip, wanting to whip Urile and pull the wound on his back, but the painful whip did not go down.
"Uzhile, lead the way!"
Subutai lowered his arm and scolded with a calm face.
Helpless, Urile urged his horse forward, and the Mongolian knights followed behind.
The horsemen still didn't run far, and dozens of horsemen came from the north to the dust, and when they arrived, the knights immediately reined in their horses and shouted.
"Su Butai, the Great Khan has an order, let you lead your troops back to the Liupan Mountain camp as soon as possible!"
"An Chitai, why are you here? What happened to the Great Khan? ”
Subutai reined in his horse, widened his eyes and asked loudly.
An Chitai is the adopted son of the Great Khan, and he has always been by the side of the Great Khan, and when he came at this time, could it be said that something happened to the Great Khan?
Su Butai's heart immediately sank.
"Subutai, why do you only have this little bit of soldiers?"
An Chitai looked at the remnants of the defeated soldiers around him in surprise, many of the generals were hung up, and it seemed that the war was unfavorable.
"Don't mention it! Emperor Song drove his own expedition, with an army of 100,000, there was no way to lose the battle! ”
Subutai shook his head and replied in frustration.
At this time, at this point, there is really nothing to hide.
"Emperor Song's personal expedition?"
An Chitai was taken aback, then nodded and said:
"Su Butai, the Great Khan is seriously ill, and Wokotai has returned to the army. Hurry up. Don't delay! ”
An Chitai's words made Su Butai's heart tremble.
It is said that Genghis Khan is seriously ill, and looking at this, I am afraid that it is really not optimistic, otherwise he would not have asked himself to return to the army.
"Hurry up, withdraw the troops!"
The generals who had no fighting spirit pleaded one after another.
They actually gave Subutai a step down. Genghis Khan's military orders, who would dare to disobey them?
"Withdraw your troops."
Su Butai reluctantly glanced at the direction of Lintao Mansion in the west, and gave a military order.
This time in the battle of Song Realm, it really lost his wife and his soldiers, and suffered heavy losses.
With the size of the 70 million population of the Great Song Dynasty, if it was so belligerent, perhaps the Great Song Dynasty would be the future henchmen of the Great Mongolian State.
Tari and Chavur looked at each other, both secretly glad and relieved.
This military order came at a really timely time. Otherwise, if you really go to Lintao Mansion, you don't know if you will come back?
