Liupan Mountain, the camp of the Mongol army, where Genghis Khan was stationed.

In the middle of the camp, on the post road, the army pushed and dragged me, the oxen and horses dragged forward, and dragged forward with difficulty, pulling Genghis Khan's Golden Horde down the mountain.

The owner of the tiger skin tent is no longer there, and the cowardly generals of the Xue army have tears on their faces and push the cart hard, as if in the tiger tent above, the invincible and god-like Great Khan of the Mongol Empire is still alive.

On the side of the mountain road, the Mongolian army fierce general Su Butai looked at all this coldly, and his one-eyed eyes were miserable and lonely. In just a few days, his face was haggard, his beard was gray, and he seemed to have aged much at once.

Genghis Khan died, "Four Dogs", "Four Heroes", eight iron-blooded ministers who charged for Genghis Khan, only one of them remained.

Was this the punishment of the Immortal Heaven for the Mongol Empire, or was it the resentment and curse of their conquest of the world, burning, killing and looting?

Ogedai and Torre, will they be brothers? Would the ambitious Torre willingly obey Ogedai as the Great Khan of the Mongols?

Su Butai was in a state of confusion, looking ahead in a daze.

"Subutai, you have to take care!"

Genghis Khan's fifth son, the Uighur of Gaochang Yiduhu (chief) Balshu, came over and casually accosted him.

"Thank you for your kindness."

Subutai frowned and looked at Bal Shu for a moment, then suddenly asked:

"Balshu, the Great Khan is gone, when will you marry Altunbegi?"

Altunbeji is the daughter of Genghis Khan, and has been betrothed to Balshu, but because Balshu's original partner is jealous, he has already given birth to three children for Balshu, and Genghis Khan is also embarrassed to force Balshu. Genghis Khan's daughter, Altunbegi, has been waiting to be married, and is now an old girl in her twenties.

Now that Genghis Khan is dead, Balshu probably won't even mention it.

"If you can't do it, you can only wait and see. You know the head of my family, you can't afford to mess with him! ”

Sure enough, Balshu smiled bitterly, very emotional.

"You! Men, you still have to make your own decisions! ”

Subutai couldn't help but remind Balshu.

Balshu nodded noncommittally and abruptly changed the subject.

"Su Butai, Wokotai is a big sweat, do you obey him?"

Bal's words made Su Butai stunned for a moment, and followed a sentence.

"Whoever Kuriltai chooses, I will serve!"

Kuriltai is the assembly of the kings of the Great Mongolian Kingdom, the great court, the council of the steppe tribes and the alliance of various tribes, used to elect the leader, decide on the conquest and other major events.

"Kuriltai has two years to go, and these two years are Torre's overseer. I don't know who will be the Great Khan at that time? ”

Balshu shook his head and sighed.

Although Genghis Khan appointed Ögedai as the successor of the Mongol Great Khan, whether Ögedei could get his wish or not had to be decided by the Mongol kings.

Subutai nodded, and was about to continue talking, when several horses came from the mountain road, and the Mongolian knights on the horses were sweating profusely, and the war horses were also wet manes, obviously something important.

"What's the matter? Why are you so flustered? ”

Su Butai was stunned for a moment and shouted loudly.

Seeing that it was Subutai and Balshu, the knight on the horse hurriedly dismounted and stepped forward to salute the two.

"General Subutai, Balshu is also protected, the military situation ahead is urgent, and I have to report to the Great Khan of Ogedei!"

Ögedei succeeded him as the Great Khan of the Mongols, and everyone in the army knew it.

"What emergency military intelligence?"

"Did the defenders of Lingzhou surrender?"

Subutai and Balshu asked, one after the other.

The envoys of the Western Xia sent a surrender table, saying that they would surrender in one month. More than half a month has passed, is it really going to fall?

"It's not! It's ......"

The knights hesitated, their eyes flickering.

"Speak quickly!"

Su Butai shouted angrily, and the knights did not dare to hide it, so they said it in one go.

The knight mounted his horse and left, leaving the speed of the bustle in a trance, and the face of Balshu sank like water.

"The Song army defeated the Xinhuizhou camp, stationed in Rouwolf Mountain, and captured Yingli. What are they going to do? ”

After a moment of silence, Balshu spat out.

The Mongolian army camp in Xinhui Prefecture, but there were more than 10,000 troops, and they were easily defeated by the Song army?

Seeing that Su Butai was silent, Bal Shuhu asked suspiciously:

"Sub-Butai, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers left in Western Xia, you say, will it be attacked by the Song army?"

Recently, due to the hot weather, the Mongol army withdrew most of it, leaving only 10,000 troops to garrison in the land of Xingling. Yingli, an important town in the nine curves of the Yellow River, is only 300 miles away from Lingzhou. The cavalry arrived in a day or two. If the Song army sneaks up, the Mongolian army is not used to fighting in hot weather, and I am afraid that it will suffer a big loss.

If this is the case, and the help comes, will the Tanguts still surrender?

"I don't know. Wait and see, Ogedai ......"

Subutai originally wanted to say that Wokotai had a decision, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.

What Ogedai is thinking about now is probably to ascend to the throne of the Great Khan of Mongolia safely.

Both of them were distraught, and there was a noise on the mountain road ahead, and the two looked forward together.

"Suddenly, the sweat is gone, and you still have the heart to drink? What do you look like drunk? ”

Seeing that Huri staggered over with his entourage, Brother Yixiang, who was serving as a guard in the army, stood up and frowned.

Drunkenness in the army is a big taboo. The Great Khan returned to heaven, and the rules in the army began to be chaotic.

"Brother Xiangxiang, what am I going to do, do I have to report to you? Get out of here, or don't blame me for being unkind! ”

Suddenly, he was drunk, his face flushed, and he waved his hand weakly.

"You're welcome?"

Brother Xiang smiled coldly, and his anger rose.

"In wartime, it is strictly forbidden to drink alcohol, and those who violate the order are punished with twenty lashes. This is the military order of the Great Khan. I'd like to see, why are you being unkind to me? ”

"Brother Shift, I cut you bastard!"

Suddenly, the wine surged, and his eyes widened, so he went to his waist to draw a knife, and the entourage around him hurriedly hugged Huri tightly.

"Huli, don't!"

"Brother Xiangxiang, the Great Khan is dead, and suddenly I feel uncomfortable. Don't be embarrassed for him! ”

"Brother Xiangxiang, at this time, don't fight among yourself!"

Huri's entourage spoke one after another, dissuading the two who were fighting each other.

"Great Khan! Where the hell are you? You will also lead us to the north and south. We can't live without you! Great Mongolia can't live without you! ”

Suddenly, he stopped struggling, looked up to the sky and cried, and his followers held him tightly with all their might.

"Take him back to the camp and sober up. Don't let Ogedai and Torre see it! ”

Brother Xiang sighed and waved his hand, and the entourage hurriedly dragged the crying suddenly.

"If it goes on like this, when will it be a head!"

Brother Xiang shook his head secretly, he looked up, Su Butai walked over, and hurriedly took two steps forward.

"Subutai, you...... Much older! ”

"I'm over fifty, I'm almost blind in one eye, and my body is full of old wounds. It's not okay to be old! ”

The first fierce general of Mongolia Su Butai also sighed in his words.

Seeing the scene just now made Su Butai feel empty. It seems that Genghis Khan died of illness, and the morale of the Mongolian army was also dispersed.

"Subutai, you are the number one fierce general of my Great Mongolia, the Great Khan is gone, you can't fall again!"

Brother Xiang subconsciously relieved the depressed Su Butai.

Subutai nodded, looking at the back of the sudden departure.

"Brother Xiangxiang, what is the heart of the generals and soldiers in the army now?"

Suddenly, such a commander is like this, and the sergeant will inevitably be panicked.

"There are more than 20,000 wounded and sick soldiers in the army. Coupled with the losses, I am afraid that less than 50,000 can go to the battlefield now. Now that the weather is so hot, it is inevitable that the morale of the army will be unstable! ”

Sure enough, when it came to the military heart, Brother Xiangxiang's face darkened a lot.

Less than 50,000 people!

Subutai was secretly frightened. The recent loss of 30,000 or 40,000 people was all caused by the fierce battle with the Song army. Even if it came out of the nest and fought against the Song army, would the Mongol army be able to afford such huge casualties?

This hateful Song Army!

This damn firearm!

"Subutai, I heard that the emperor of the Nanren personally led 100,000 male soldiers to Lintao Mansion. How is our army, is it going to be a decisive battle with the Song army? ”

The atmosphere was dull, and Brother Xiang asked cautiously.

"A decisive battle?"

Su Butai was suddenly lost, and then shook his head.

"The Great Khan is dead, and the warriors are terrified, just look at the way they suddenly appeared. The epidemic in the army, the people are sleepy and the horses are lacking, and the weather is hot, I am afraid that Wokotai will be withdrawn. ”

He wanted to be ashamed, but in the current situation, the Great Khan died of illness, the morale of the army was weakened, and the weather was hot, and Ogedai probably would not give him this opportunity.

Even if you gather an army of 50,000, can you calm the morale of the Song army?

"Don't worry about it. I just want to know, are the firearms of the southerners really that powerful? ”

Brother Xiang asked curiously.

can make the famous Subutai deflated and suffer heavy losses, presumably the firearms of the Song army have some doorways.

"When attacking Lingzhou City, you should have seen the firearms of the Tang Wuti people, and they were extremely fierce. The firearms of the southerners shot farther and were more powerful. If you want to know what the hell is, just ask Chavul and Tari. In short, not to mention the ferocity of firearms, the soldiers are also well-trained. It is quite possible that the Nanren are the confidants of my Great Mongolia. ”

Perhaps remembering the tragic battle with the Song army, Su Butai's brows unconsciously furrowed again.

"Firearms, it really gives my Mongolian army a headache, and it is also a big problem for our army!"

Brother Xiang nodded. If it weren't for the powerful firearms of the defenders of Lingzhou City, why would the Mongolian army have besieged it for so long. Genghis Khan's illness and death also had a great relationship with Lingzhou City.

The invincible Mongolian warriors were afraid of the defenders' firearms when attacking the city, and their lethality was too great, which really frightened him.

"Subutai, if you see Torre, persuade him. If you should retreat, you will retreat, you don't have to spend it all the time, there are many opportunities for revenge. If this continues, the morale of the army will be completely scattered! ”

Brother Xiang finally confided in his heart.

Subutai nodded, helpless and depressed.

The Great Khan returned to heaven, the eagle folded its wings, the weather was too hot, the epidemic was epidemic, and the casualties were huge.

"Speed up the platform, Wokotai will let you go."

A Mongolian general came to report and interrupted the silence of Subutai.

Needless to say, I am afraid that Xinhuizhou and Yingli lost the battle, and Ogedai has already begun to retreat.
