Chapter 184: Dawn

Li Deren urged, and Zhang Zhongxia frowned secretly.

Now that the wood is in the boat, what are you anxious about? If the rangers left the city and were intercepted by the cavalry of the Mongolian army, wouldn't they have to die in vain?

"General, look!"

Wang Gui spoke before Cao Youwan hesitated, pointing in the direction of the south.

All the generals were frightened, and they raised their heads together with Cao Youwan and looked towards the southern sky.

Countless Mongolian cavalry came in a sea of banners. Under the flying flags, a column, a group of Mongolian cavalry patted their horses slowly, they were wearing armor, dragons and tigers were fierce, full of feathers, occupying the entire field.

Surrounded by thousands of elite knights, a huge chariot lived in it, and around the tiger-skin tent on the cart were the leaders of the Mongolian army in gold and silver armor, they were dressed in different costumes, everyone was solemn, their faces were ugly, and they rarely smiled.

"The Tatar Iron Rider really deserves its name!"

Cao Youwan was also secretly frightened. Around the big tent of tiger skin, a group of Mongolian iron horsemen, riding spears and iron rods, hard bows and steel armor, all of them are tall and large, majestic and abnormal, at a glance it is a hundred battles of heroes.

"These guys have hideous faces, they are all murderous ghosts!"

Cao Shixiong also took a cool breath and opened his eyes.

No wonder the Mongolian iron cavalry dominates the world, just looking at the cavalry lineup from the dragon is already terrifying.

In the entire Great Song Dynasty, how many cavalry did they add up?

"Around the Tiger Tent was the most elite of the Tatar cavalry, the Cowardly Army, which was also Genghis Khan's Praetorian Guard, including 8,000 guards, 1,000 archers, and 8,000 stragglers. Without the orders of Genghis Khan, no one was allowed to mobilize the cowardly army. When Genghis Khan went to the battlefield, he must be escorted by the cowardly Xue army. ”

Li Deren looked at the Mongolian cavalry formation rolling northward and flooding, his face was solemn, and he said calmly.

"Your Highness, according to what you say, Genghis Khan is in the midst of this great array. Did the Tatar army really retreat? ”

Yang Daquan was depressed and couldn't help but ask.

"The big car and tiger skin tent guarded by the cowardly Xue army is the tooth tent of Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan should have died of illness, and the Tatar army, I'm afraid it really withdrew. ”

The might of the Mongolian army made Li Deren's heart heavy and he was short of breath.

The Mongol army was withdrawn, and Western Xia was temporarily at peace. If they make a comeback, where will Western Xia go?

"If there are dozens of heavy artillery, hundreds of small cannons, and the sky-shattering thunder bombardment indiscriminately, what kind of bullshit cowardly Xue Army's iron-blooded army, isn't it devastating, fart and urine?"

On the city wall, a young Song army officer, looking at the Mongol army all over the mountains, suddenly spoke out loudly.

Li Deren and Cao Youwan were both surprised, and they looked at each other and laughed.

Even Cao Shixiong and Yang Daquan, who had a solemn face, and other Song Army officers, were also smiling, looking excited, and a little embarrassed.

People are hungry and short-sighted, they run out of ammunition and food, and in the face of the tide of Mongolian cavalry, everyone has no fighting spirit, and they are not as good as an ordinary young sergeant.

If the soldiers are strong and the ammunition is sufficient, it seems to be a different matter.

The Mongolian Chinese army, next to Genghis Khan's coffin, Wogetai and others marched forward on horseback. Towards dusk, the breeze swept away the summer heat.

Even so, Ogedai is still sweating. In the distance, the dense Xia army guards on the Lingzhou city wall came into view, and Wo Kotai couldn't help frowning.

Lingzhou City, has become the nightmare of all Mongolian soldiers, since last winter the Mongolian army came to the city, besieged the city for several months, more than half a year has passed, until now the Mongolian army retreats north, Lingzhou City is still strong.

"Wokotai, just let go of these dog thieves of Tang Wuti?"

Torrey, who was riding his horse and moving forward, glanced at Lingzhou City, his eyes full of vicious resentment.

If Lingzhou City had been captured earlier, perhaps Western Xia had surrendered, and Genghis Khan might not have died of illness.

"Torre is in charge of the country, there is an epidemic in the army, hundreds of soldiers die every day, and the weather is too hot to attack the city. It is better to go back to the grassland to recuperate, and wait until the aftermath of the Great Khan is dealt with, and it is not too late to attack again. ”

Yelu Chucai persuaded softly, and did not forget to remind Torre of his self-respecting identity.

The two brothers, Wo Kotai and Torrey, Torre seems to be unwilling that Western Xia did not surrender, but Wo Kotai's heart has long been no longer attacking Western Xia or Jin.

Only by inheriting the throne of the Great Khan and making a smooth transition within the Mongol aristocracy could the Great Mongol State continue to use troops in the south.

"Yelu Chucai, you said that if we attack Lingzhou City now, will we be able to defeat it?"

Torre asked suddenly.

"Supervisor Torre, with all due respect, I'm afraid it's enough!"

Yelu Chucai wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then shook his head.

"My Mongolian warriors like cold and fear heat, and now it's almost dusk, and everyone is still sweating profusely, if it's daytime, how can they fight? On a hot day, if you get infected with the epidemic again, the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Although Lingzhou is short of food, no one knows what the situation is. The hot weather is the most likely to be infected with the plague, and if you go to attack the city, I am afraid it will be enough to choke.

"I can't get used to the arrogance of Tang Wuti. I can't wait to rush into the city and kill all the Tang Wuti dog thieves inside! ”

Torre's eyes were fierce and he said viciously.

Yelu Chucai's heart sank, and he suddenly remembered Zhao Hong's words.

Where the Tao is, although thousands of people go to me.

Torre is tyrannical and murderous, and takes pleasure in slaughtering cities, but what is his way?

"Torrey, in winter, I am willing to lead my troops to destroy the Tang Vulti Kingdom and fulfill the last wish of the Great Khan!"

Perhaps stimulated by the still strong Lingzhou City, Genghis Khan's adopted son Huli suddenly pointed in the direction of Lingzhou City and said it loudly.

"Good! When the time comes, Balshu and Brother Xiang will come together to destroy the Tang Vulti Kingdom and kill all the Tang Vulti people! ”

Torre didn't wait for Ogedai to speak, and said flatly.

"Torrey, Huri, let's finish the Great Khan's funeral first. The tribal chiefs, the princes, and the ministers rushed back from all over the country to entertain. As for the Tang Wuti Kingdom, a place with a big palm can be destroyed at any time! ”

Ogedai looked at Kuri and Torre, and whispered, the glint in his eyes flashing.

Yelu Chucai was shocked. Ogedai is the Great Khan of Mongolia designated by Genghis Khan, and Huli and Torrey are good at advocating, and there is no such thing as Ogedai in their eyes.

"That's what the Great Khan said. The Han people have a saying that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Now that my Great Mongolian soldiers are strong and strong, as long as the warriors cultivate a little, and wait for Wokotai to become the Great Khan of Mongolia, and turn back to destroy Xia and Jin, it will not be too late. ”

Yelu Chucai then spoke.

Ogedai regarded him as a wise man, right-hand man, and at this time, he still had to remind the generals that Ogedai was the heir of the Great Khan.

"Yelu Chucai is right, when Ogedai becomes the Great Khan of the Great Mongolian State, we will make a comeback. Tang Wu Ti Guo and Jin Guo are okay to say, but that Song State is the big trouble. When Xia Jin is destroyed, the Song Kingdom must be destroyed! ”

Su Butai followed Yelu Chucai's words and said immediately.

He returned from a fiasco in the Song Realm, but he still had to befriend Wokotai. Compared to Torre's tyranny, Ogedai is much more generous.

"Yelu Chucai, you have seen Emperor Song, what do you think of him?"

Wo Kuotai's face was gentle, and he asked softly.

The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty knew that he liked good wine, so he sent a car, and sent an envoy to personally mourn Genghis Khan, and the humility of the other party made him a little fluttering.

"Great Khan, Emperor Song is a man of great talent and ambition. In the future, the one who can compete with my Great Mongolian Kingdom for the world must be the Song State under the rule of Emperor Song! ”

Yelu Chucai's face was solemn, and he said it slowly.

Zhao Hong compares himself to the Qin Emperor Han Wu and the Tang Dynasty Song Zu, this person is too ambitious, and he wants to conquer the world, which is really a problem for the henchmen of the Great Mongolian State. If the Great Mongol State wants to plunder and expand, it will inevitably collide with the Song State.

When the time comes, what kind of fierce competition will the two countries compete for?

"The poem of the Song Emperor doesn't say anything, "There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading the world's heroes to bend their waists." Then let the Song Kingdom and my Great Mongolia Kingdom compete to see who is the true hero in the world. ”

Wokotai said it in high spirits.

Yelu Chucai nodded, he looked ahead, and the Mongol army had unconsciously passed Lingzhou City and headed north.

I don't know, the next time I come back, what kind of scene will Western Xia have, will it have become the territory of the Song Kingdom?

Yelu Chucai had Zhao Hong's appearance floating in his heart, and such a thought suddenly popped up.

The Mongolian army went north, the sunset was afterglow, the desert was vast, Cao Youwan was hesitating whether to send a ranger out of the city, far away in the south, on the west bank of the Yellow River, dozens of horsemen came in the dust, the knights on the horses were in good shape, and the tooth flags on their backs sounded fiercely.

The generals at the head of the city all opened their eyes wide.

The horsemen were fierce and fierce, and soon arrived at the west of Lingzhou City, and the flags on the backs of the knights were waving in the wind, so they were not majestic.

"It's my Great Song scout! It's my scout of the Great Song! ”

Cao Shixiong looked carefully, he shouted loudly, cheered, and hugged Yang Daquan next to him, tears in his eyes.

They can all see it clearly, the tooth flag on the knight's back, the word "Song" is clearly visible, which makes people tearful and their hearts beat faster.

"Da Song! My Great Song! ”

Zhang Zhongxia was excited, and two lines of tears burst out of his eyes.

Da Song did not abandon them! The Great Song Emperor did not abandon them! They can finally hold their heads up and return to the Great Song Dynasty!

"Lingzhou guard, listen, we are the scouts of the Great Song Dynasty. The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has a decree, the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Mongolia have made peace, and the Mongolian army is withdrawn today! Our army will bring grain and grass tomorrow. After the Song army soldiers from Lingzhou and Zhongxing Prefecture assembled, they went south to assemble in Lanzhou City on the south bank of the Yellow River! ”

The scouts of the Song army shouted loudly and repeatedly outside the city, and on the city wall of Lingzhou, there was a sea of cheers.

"God bless the Great Xia! God bless the Great Summer! ”

The guards at the head of the city burst into tears and laughed and cried. Whether it was Xia Bing or Song Jun, many people knelt on the ground to hide their faces and weep, and some knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank God for his gifts.

"I'm Da Xia, I'm saved!"

Li Deren also knelt on the city wall, crying with joy.

Eight or nine months of perseverance finally ushered in the dawn.

Looking at the ecstatic crowd, Cao Youwan burst into tears, sighed at the cruelty of the war, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Their mission has finally been accomplished. These surviving soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty can finally return to the Great Song Dynasty with dignity and meet the Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty!
