Chapter 98: Fate

On the field, the scene of the battle of thousands of troops and horses, the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, bloody and tragic, Dong Songchen's little face turned pale, and he persuaded in a trembling voice.

"Your Majesty... Next, the battlefield... Dangerous, you better stand back and take... Just in case. ”

Zhao Hong shook his head slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the north.

The Mongol army, is this to be evacuated from the plank road and various mountain roads?

The brave and fearless soldiers of the Song Army, who regarded death as home, finally let the invincible Mongolian army choose to retreat.

"After this big battle, my Great Song Dynasty King Division was reborn, and it can be regarded as a real strong army."

Xu Sheng looked at the battlefield where artillery fire roared and thousands of arrows were fired, and he was full of emotion.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yuanjia was hasty, sealed the wolf Juxu, and won the ...... of the Emperor Beigu"

Xuan Xuan looked at the grand battle scene, his eyes were red, and he sighed faintly.

The Southern Song Dynasty made several northern expeditions, all of which were anticlimactic and had a bleak ending. Now in this national war, the 70,000 people of the Mongolian army have been wiped out, and the vitality of the Mongolian state has been greatly damaged. Henan's Jin Kingdom is about to die, and the restoration of the Central Plains by the Great Song Dynasty seems to be no longer a dream of Nanke.

"Although the three households of Chu can die in Qin, how can there be no one in China? If Xin Jiaxuan Lu Fangweng was here, I am afraid that he would also burst into tears. ”

Chen Long's heart was touched, and he said a word.

The martial spirit of the Great Song Dynasty has risen, and it is unlikely that anyone wants to bully again.

"Your Majesty, look!"

Dong Songchen pointed to the retreating Mongolian cavalry group and shouted loudly.

Zhao Hong looked fixedly, only to see thousands of Mongolian iron horsemen panicking, frantically moving forward, the wounded soldiers of the Mongolian army all over the ground could not be avoided, and were ruthlessly trampled by the iron hooves of their comrades, wave after wave.

Zhao Hong shook his head slightly.

This is war, and once defeated, the consequences are incalculable.

"Your Majesty, let me go and kill for a while!"

Xu Sheng asked for an order.

Zhao Hong laughed, and was about to speak, when Xuan Xuan's face sank.

"General Xu, the overall situation has been decided, and Your Majesty's safety is at stake!"

Xu Sheng was helpless, only stupid.

"Your Majesty, beat the water dogs. The minister asks for an order to stop the Tatar army from fleeing north! ”

LΓΌ Wende watched the Mongol army retreat like a tide to the north, and he was anxious.

"Good!"

Zhao Hong looked at the boundless deserters in the distance, and said loudly:

"You and Yu Jue lead the cavalry, pursue the Tatar deserters, and block the road to the west! Jiang Wanzai took the artillery cart and the infantry and went straight to the plank road! ”

Zhao Hong pulled out his long sword, pointed diagonally forward, and shouted loudly.

"Soldiers, go north, kill the captives!"

The trumpets sounded, the drums were thrilling, the morale of the Song army was greatly boosted, the artillery was more ferocious, and the Song cavalry rushed towards the retreating Mongol army like a tide.

20,000 Mongolian cavalry retreated to the north, the cavalry group was boundless, under the fierce artillery fire of the Song army, under the sacrificial resistance of the cavalry of the Song army, the Mongolian cavalry were killed and wounded, to the plank road mouth only seven or eight miles of the road, the corpses of people and horses were stacked on top of each other, the hills were of different heights, blood was everywhere, bubbling to the lowlands, flowing to the Han River, and the river surface of up to Li Xu was red.

The sound of fierce artillery rumbled, and the smoke rose and filled the smoke, which was spectacular. The large and small artillery of the Song army continued to fire, and the cavalry formation of the Mongolian army was constantly penetrated by the artillery fire of the Song army, and it was divided into countless broken formations. The gunners of the Song army continued to shell, the large and small artillery were fired continuously, the Mongolian army rode forward, and there were countless people who fell off their horses, and the formation became narrower and narrower, and more and more sparse.

The Mongolian cavalry was not afraid of casualties to block the Song army, leaving countless corpses and wounded, and the Torre Department finally broke away from the range of the Song army's artillery fire and went straight to the plank road entrance.

As long as you enter the plank road, you can reach the Guanzhong Plain in Shaanxi Province through the plank road, which is the sphere of influence of the Mongol army.

The entrance of the plank road is narrow, the terrain is uneven, only less than 100 meters, 10,000 horsemen gallop to come, crowded between the east and west valleys, the slope is difficult to walk, the Mongolian cavalry who broke into the road in a panic, the war horse is constantly squeezed over, rolling down to the plank road, smashing over many cavalry, the plank road is a mess, and the forward is even slower.

As a last resort, many Mongolian cavalry broke away from the plank road and rode away to the east and west, in order to find another mountain road plank road to escape.

The cavalry of the Song army caught up, and one blocked the mountain road to the west, intercepting and killing the Mongolian cavalry that could not be formed. The Song army fired thousands of arrows, and the Mongolian cavalry returned with bows, but the same arrows were like flying locusts, and there were countless people on both sides. The cavalry of the Song army dismounted one after another, set up small cannons, and began shelling the Mongol cavalry at the plank road entrance and the side of the mountain.

There were heavy casualties, the retreat was crowded, and several Mongolian thousand-man teams faced the artillery fire of the Song army, and chose to impact without hesitation, but under the attack of the Song army's artillery fire and crossbow arrows, there were many casualties, and a small part of them were lucky enough to highlight the blockade of the rain of bullets, and finally collided with the Song army's cavalry formation, and then were overwhelmed by the opponent's cavalry frenzy.

The sound of artillery on the field rumbled, and there were constantly Mongolian knights on their backs behind him, and the screams were one after another, Torrey's face was gloomy, and he only cared about hitting his horse forward, and the earth-shattering sound of fighting seemed to be forgotten by him.

The Subutai Department was located at the front of the cavalry formation, and he took the lead in entering the plank road, and he was desperate to escape with his subordinate cavalry. Suddenly, the sound of artillery behind him sounded earth-shatteringly, blowing over the Mongolian army on the plank road, and the rocks on the side of the road were blown up and debris flying, hitting the back of Subutai, and under the severe pain, he almost fell off the horse.

"Sobutai, are you okay?"

Commander Tari's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Subutai's arm.

"Nothing, hurry up! Don't crowd here! ”

Subutai shook off Tari's arm and endured the thump to move forward.

With such a narrow plank road, mountains to the west and water to the east, so many Mongolian cavalry, if the Song army pursues and kills all the way, I don't know how much will be left?

Tari shook his head. I haven't seen him for a few years, my beard is gray, I am blind in one eye, I am old, and I am a lot more silent and easy-going.

"Tari, you say, is this the retribution of the Immortal Heaven for us?"

Su Butai has no head and no brain, and suddenly said.

"What?"

Tari was stunned.

"We have fought for so many years, and how many people have been killed, the corpses can be piled up into mountains, and blood can flow into rivers. Say, "Is this retribution?" ”

After Su Butai said in a low voice, he continued to move forward, and the ignorant tower stayed for a moment, and followed with his horse tightly.

The Mongol army fled northward, stone-throwing machines, ballistas, chariots and chariots were discarded everywhere, swords, guns, feathers and arrows were all over the ground, and on the long and narrow position of Kuyuelixu, corpses were stacked on top of each other, piled up like mountains, and countless wounded horses and wounded people were wriggling and screaming in a pool of blood. The Mongol army has departed, and those wounded soldiers have been ruthlessly abandoned by the army to meet an unknown fate.

Among the Song army reinforcements, Meng Heng's cavalry was the first to arrive at the entrance of the plank road and occupied the high ground on the west side of the plank road, and the small cannons brought by the cavalry were set up one after another. Most of the cavalry of the Song army collided with the Mongolian cavalry blocking the mountain side at the entrance of the plank road, and they were bloodily killed.

Seeing that more Mongolian cavalry rushed into the plank road, Meng Hui shouted angrily, and the artillery fired one after another, heading straight to the dense Mongolian cavalry group on the plank road.

Countless iron pellets shot out in a hurry, countless Mongolian cavalry were shot off their horses one after another, and some corpses and wounded fell into the river to the east and were swept away by the turbulent river.

Some of the Mongolian cavalry rode up the hillside, but were mercilessly shot by the Song army's artillery and earth-shattering thunder

The Song army continued to sound artillery, the Mongolian cavalry on the plank road suffered heavy casualties, and the plank road was full of human and horse corpses and blood, and the corpses of people and horses continued to fall into the river.

The Mongolian knights only cared about beating their horses forward, and just wanted to escape from the artillery fire of the Song army as soon as possible and escape. Unfortunately, the plank road was too narrow, and the corpses of people and horses and the wounded were blocked, which greatly affected the speed of the Mongolian army's evacuation.

On the high ground on the west side of the plank road entrance, more than a dozen artillery carriages were dragged up by the soldiers of the Song army, filling the high ground. Meng Hui pointed to Torrey and the others in gold armor in the midst of the rout, which was very eye-catching.

"See, Tatar coach Torre! Smash him down for me! I ask you for credit in front of the emperor! ”

"General, don't worry, wait and see!"

The gunners were full of energy, speeding up the adjustment of the gun angle and loading ammunition, and under the order of Meng Heng, the gunners lit the fuse one after another.

"Puffy Puff!"

The shocking loud sound sounded again, and the solid iron ball flew into the plank road in the sky, smashing out pieces of flesh and blood paths, and countless Mongolian cavalry were hit by the iron ball and fell into the river, and the sound of "plopping" people and horses falling into the water was endless.

The artillery wagons of the Song army followed, covering the field, thick smoke rose, the sound of artillery was earth-shattering, solid iron balls flew all over the sky, and the Mongolian army cavalry on the plank road was smashed from time to time in the horse on the horseback, and there was a terrible sound of broken bones everywhere. Some of the corpses of Mongolian soldiers and horses blocked the way, and they were pushed down the hillside by their comrades, and they fell into the river one after another, and were washed away by the river.

"Come again!"

Seeing that Torre was still safe and sound, the gunners on the high and low adjusted the angle again, reloaded the ammunition, and another round of artillery strikes.

At the same time, on the Song army's artillery carriage outside the plank road, the artillery opened fire one after another, and countless iron balls and iron pellets chased away all over the sky.

Countless iron balls flew wildly, smashing into the Mongolian cavalry formation, and Torrey, who was moving forward, only felt a sharp pain in his head and back, the war horse neighed, and Torrey's men and horses overturned, and he lost consciousness in an instant.

"Marshal!"

There was a commotion in the Mongolian cavalry, and all the knights dismounted one after another, heading straight for Torre, where the flesh and blood of the men and horses were blurred.

In the front of the Mongolian army, Tali and other cavalry had not yet run out of a hundred steps, and suddenly the sound of artillery behind them was earth-shattering, and the Mongolian cavalry was in a mess and screamed. Everyone was frightened, they looked back, only to see Torre's Chinese army Daxu falling, the Song army's solid iron balls raining from the air continued to smash, the Mongolian cavalry was constantly smashed off their horses, broken legs and arms flew around, and the Mongolian cavalry was in chaos.

They could see clearly that the Mongolian knights braved the cannon fire of the Song army, lifted the red-dyed Torre from the ground, set it up on a war horse, and tied it with a rope, and the Mongolian knights led Torre's war horse and rushed forward.

On the artillery heights of the Song army at the entrance of the plank road, there was a burst of cheers, apparently rejoicing in hitting the commander of the Mongolian army, Torre.

"What's wrong with Torre?"

Torre lay motionless on his horse, and when Tari and other Mongolian generals saw it, everyone was frightened.

"Liu Heima, what's wrong with Torre?"

Liu Heima rushed up with a frightened face, and Tari grabbed him and asked urgently.

"Marshal...... Marshal he ...... He ......"

Liu Heima was hesitant, his eyes flickering.

"Say it! What the hell happened to Torre? ”

Tabujier felt bad and asked sharply.

"The marshal was hit in the head and back by Song artillery, I'm afraid it was...... Bad luck and little ......"

Liu Heima stiffened his head and whispered.

Two solid iron balls, one hit Torrey's head, and the other hit Torrey's heart, unless there is a Da Luo Immortal, Torre is more than lucky.

"Ah......h

Tari and Tabujir and other Mongolian generals all changed their faces.

First the fierce generals pressed Zhu Er, and then the prince Kuduan, and now even the commander Torre could not escape, 70,000 troops went south, and the most people who went back were only a few thousand horsemen.

The Western Route Army is in ashes, and then the Central Route Army will probably be defeated.

"Subutai, now only you are in command of the whole army!"

Liu Heima caught up with the speed and said listlessly.

"The army?"

Subutai smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Blow the trumpet and order the whole army to follow and retreat north!"

The speed is not the head of the stage or the reply, the voice is not loud, and I can't tell whether it is joy or sorrow.

Tari and the others looked at each other, as if they were falling into an ice cave.

This vicious battle is really a nightmare! With only a few thousand riders left, it's no wonder that even the speed has lost its fighting spirit.

"Li Changguo, what kind of mountain road is this, why is it so difficult to walk?"

Tari frowned as he looked at the rugged mountain path.

"General, this is Fu Luo Dao, the closest from Hanzhong to Guanzhong. However, although the Fu Luo Road is short, the road is difficult and dangerous, sparsely populated and infested with wild animals. Fu Luo Road is about 500 miles long. Out of the Beikou Luogu, only 140 miles away from Chang'an. ”

General Li Changguo carefully explained.

"Isn't that more than 600 miles!"

Ta Bujier was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, and he suddenly pulled out his knife and slashed Li Changguo, who was caught off guard, under the horse.

"It's all you, you dog thief! If you hadn't used some excuses, my Mongolian army would have become like this? If you want me to say, it was you who colluded with Song Gou. You damn dog thief! ”

Li Changguo was lying on the ground, half of his body red with blood. The generals of the Mongolian army were all stunned, but no one paid attention to the dying Li Changguo.

The generals struck forward, and the Mongol cavalry behind quickly followed with their horses, shouting:

"General, the cavalry of the Song Army has caught up!"

"Don't hurry up yet!"

Su Butai only cared about beating the horse forward, and did not look back, Tari shouted, and the army fought hard to beat the horse north.

The sound of large and small artillery continues, the earth-shaking thunder explosions come and go, the crossbow arrows are galloping, the thick smoke is billowing on the plank road, the heavy artillery of the Song army is bombarded, the small artillery follows closely, the earth-shaking thunder opens the way, and all the way is the wild and indiscriminate bombardment, chasing and killing the Mongolian cavalry who fled north in a hurry. On the plank road, by the river, and under the hillside, the corpses of Mongolian soldiers and horses are stacked on top of each other, which is shocking. Countless wounded people squirmed and screamed in pools of blood, human organs, broken arms and legs, white bones, and the tragic situation could not bear to look at directly.

The Song army pursued all the way, the once invincible and invincible Mongolian iron cavalry, at this moment the fighting spirit was depressed, although they continued to shoot the Song army, but along the way there were many corpses, blocking the plank road, and it was also difficult for the pursuing Song cavalry to follow and kill.

Finally, after chasing forty or fifty miles, the sound of artillery explosions and shouting and killing stopped, the Song army stopped pursuing, and the valley returned to silence. At this time, the remnant sun is like blood, and the sun is poor.

This also seems to have predicted the fate of the Mongol army on the western route.
