Chapter 268: A Mysterious War
A man in a cyan robe stood among the "golden soldiers", which was particularly conspicuous, he picked up Guo Jing, who was lying at his feet, and said with a smile: "There are so many thoughts at a young age, since you wake up, why don't you open your eyes?"
Guo Jing climbed up with a spirit, swept his eyes around, and suddenly found that in addition to the Tsing Yi people and the "golden soldiers", Torre was also here, but he was already unconscious.
"What's the matter with the flame pattern on your sleeves?" the man in Tsing Yi suddenly asked coldly.
Guo Jing's heart moved, took out a bamboo tube from his arms, and took out a letterhead from it and handed it to the people in Tsing Yi.
The man in Tsing Yi glanced at Guo Jing carefully, only then opened the letterhead and looked at it, his face was immediately moved, without saying a word, he tore the letterhead, and then solemnly said to Guo Jing: "Since it is the one who wants you to stay in Mongolia alive, you naturally shouldn't stay here, let's go, it's still too late to catch up with Temujin." ”
Guo Jing realized in his heart that the "person" in this person's mouth must be Uncle Yue, and it seems that Uncle Yue is very respected by him.
After the man in Tsing Yi finished speaking, he was about to wake up Torrey, but Guo Jing hurriedly stopped him and said in Chinese: "He is a Mongolian, and the pattern was painted by me." ”
The face of the man in Tsing Yi changed, and there was a flash of murder in his eyes, Guo Jing hurriedly said: "Anyway, he passed out, and if I take him out, he won't know anything." ”
The man in Tsing Yi looked at Guo Jing, as if he wanted to see someone's shadow on his face, but he stared at him for a long time, but he didn't find anything.
"No matter what your relationship is with that person, you can't let this outsider know about this pattern. The man in Tsing Yi seemed hesitant.
"I painted it, he doesn't know anything, and I promise it won't be revealed. If you want to kill him, I'll tell Yue ...... "I'm not done." was covered by the man in Tsing Yi.
"Well, let's spare him this time. After thinking for a moment, the man in Tsing Yi sighed and said, "However, don't say that person's name easily." It's going to be a habit. ”
For good advice, Guo Jing has always been kind and flowing, so he nodded heavily.
"Alright, I'll send you out. Saying that, he grabbed Guo Jing with one hand and Torre with the other, and rushed forward in the belly of the mountain, Guo Jing only felt that the speed of this person was not much slower than Uncle Yue, and the wind in his ears was ringing, making him just regain his sense of hearing. It seems to be less brilliant again.
Suddenly, the sound of the wind in his ears disappeared, and Guo Jing found himself at the exit of the canyon, crouching on a war horse, Torre being placed horizontally in front of him.
The canyon behind him was still full of arrows, and the few Mongols who escaped continued to flee forward in a hurry, and Guo Jing hurriedly followed them and fled all the way forward.
There seems to be a team of people up there as well. Guo Jing looked at the speed at which they were running, and it seemed that it was Temujin and the others.
"Guo Jing?" Temujin could hear the sound of horses' hooves behind him. Hurriedly glanced back and saw that it was Guo Jing, and was taken aback, and even more surprised when he saw the sleepy Torre on Guo Jing's horse.
"How can you escape?" the Mongol cavalry was ambushed and cracked in the sky. Rolling stones are like rain and arrows are like locusts, even the most warlike Mongolian warriors may not be able to escape, and Guo Jing is a six-year-old child. But it was Torre, who had fainted, that he escaped, and Temujin was not surprised.
"Torre fainted in fright, and I had to run with him until I finally escaped. Guo Jing said very simply, Temujin's face flashed a trace of hesitation, and after frowning, he didn't go to his heart.
In that case, maybe not the stronger the person, the greater the chance of survival, the sky collapses and the mountains crack, the rolling stones are like rain, and those who can escape from the canyon smoothly may need some luck in addition to relying on strength.
In his opinion, perhaps Guo Jing is the kind of person who is extremely lucky, this statement is illusory, but Temujin firmly believes it, because he thinks that he himself is such a person, otherwise he can still survive in these decades of hard wars, countless times in extreme danger, how to explain it?
Nodding slightly, Temujin said, "Let's go! As he spoke, he stabbed the horse's buttocks again, and the war horse under his crotch suddenly increased the speed that had slowed down a little.
Running from mid-day to dusk, they came to a vast mountain forest, the war horses were already exhausted, and if they ran any further, they would undoubtedly die, Temujin ordered everyone to stop, looked around, counted the number of people, and found that the army of 40,000 was only a few hundred people left at this time, and he couldn't help but hate it in his heart.
"I, Temujin, swear to avenge this!" Temujin suddenly turned his head and stared in the direction of the south, even in such a frustration, Temujin's eyes were as proud as an eagle in the sky, and the occasional pecking in the eyes by the wild geese did not dampen his ambition to soar into the sky.
Still in that canyon, the soldiers wearing the armor of the Jin Kingdom came out of the belly of the mountain in a very orderly manner, and killed the Mongols who had not died in the canyon one by one.
The knife is out, and the head is broken. Gun out, chest X-ray. Killing people is clean and skillful, and killing seems to be not only a kind of courage for them, but a skill.
If you are a martial arts master watching here, you may be able to find that every most ordinary soldier here is a skilled martial artist. It's a pity that within a radius of 100 miles here, there are no idle people waiting for them.
It didn't take long for the soldiers who poured out of the mountainside to kill the wounded but not dead Mongols, and the women who had been taken captive were also gathered together and taken away. The wounded and undead horses, as well as the looted goods of the Mongols, were all collected by them.
A man wearing the armor of the general of the Jin Kingdom said to the man in green clothes: "King Deer, this time we have made a windfall, the Mongols can't make money, but they are very powerful at robbing money, if these treasures and treasures are exchanged for silver, they are enough to exchange for millions of vehicles! Millions of taels, enough for us to store how much food, how many ordnance to make!"
The man in Tsing Yi glanced at the general and said with a faint smile: "Money is just a trivial matter. What kind of person is our sect leader, how can it be just for such a big operation to plan such a big operation, your vision is really a little smaller. ”
"Hey, hey. The general smirked for a moment, then said yes. What kind of grand plan does the sect leader have, he just has to carry it out, but he won't think about the cause and effect of this, not to mention such a large amount of money, which can be called a rich country, he doesn't believe that the deer king is not excited at all.
After smirking, he saw that the man in Tsing Yi still looked faint, and there seemed to be a look of thought in his eyes, and the general was stunned. Immediately, his heart suddenly moved, thinking that the king of deer had something on his mind, otherwise he had made such a big windfall, and it would be impossible to show nothing on his face, the king of deer in his impression was not like this.
"King Deer, are you thinking about the identities of those two boys?" the general asked cautiously, rolling his eyes.
"Huh?" the face of the man in Tsing Yi suddenly sank. Ning Sheng said: "Huang Kun, the matter of these two children. You'd better not say it a second time, if the sect leader knows, I'm afraid the guilt will be great!"
"Ah!" Huang Kun was startled when he heard this, and wanted to say if this was a bit of a fuss, but thinking that the man in Tsing Yi in front of him had always been steady, he should not be untargeted. And their sect leader was so awe-inspiring that his mouth moved, and he finally chose to shut it.
"King Deer, Huang understands. After saying this, he never spoke again. Instead, he went to inspect where there were still remnants of the Mongols who had not been killed, and where there were still remnants of property, which were not noticed.
Under the efficient actions of these soldiers wearing the armor of the Jin Kingdom, the entire canyon was suddenly left with only layers of human corpses and horse corpses, and there were no living people, and no money was missing.
Under the wave of the Tsing Yi people's order, Huang Kun raised the flag, and these soldiers were divided into small groups and submerged into the mountains and forests, maybe in the mountains and forests, they would also change the armor of the Jin Kingdom, maybe somewhere, their broken army would reunite again, but these are all for later.
In this battle, 40,000 elite Mongol iron horsemen were buried in this nameless canyon, and they were almost crippled before they could even organize an effective resistance. Most of the Mongols actually died not from rolling stones, nor from flying arrows, but from the frightened trampling of war horses!
But in any case, the Mongol cavalry that blocked the overwhelming Northern Expeditionary Army and saved the Jin State was almost wiped out in this nameless canyon! Only a few hundred people escaped!
This nameless canyon is destined to be famous all over the world because of today's battle, and it will go down in history. Because this war was a mysterious war, later historians debated endlessly about who the ambushers of this war were.
What is more widely accepted is that this ambush battle was organized by Wanyan Honglie, the prince of the Jin State at the time, because he had this motive and was also the beneficiary.
In order to redeem the loyalty of the ministers who were gradually detached from morality, it was necessary to take a bloody suppression of the Mongol cavalry by violent means in exchange for the political support of the dignitaries of the Jin State.
Moreover, after the complete victory of this ambush war, Wanyan Honglie did gain a great reputation in the Jin country, and the voices against him died down, so that he completely controlled the military and political power of the country, and he was the most direct and obvious beneficiary of this ambush station.
Moreover, according to historical records, when the Mongols talked about this defeat, they clearly said that they were ambushed by the army of the Jin State, and the canyon was located in the territory of the Jin State, and those who ambushed were all wearing the armor of the Jin State.
However, some people questioned this, believing that the army of the Jin State was defeated by the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time, but fortunately the Mongols rescued the country and temporarily avoided the disaster of the country. It can be said that at that time, the combat effectiveness of the Jin army was already extremely low, and there was a world of difference with the Mongols, so how could it be possible to annihilate almost all the 40,000 Mongolian cavalry?
If the Jin State had such an elite army, how could it return most of the Central Plains to the Southern Song Dynasty? How could it be necessary to invite the Mongols to enter the country to block the Northern Expeditionary Army?
According to the conditions at that time, the Jin State obviously did not have the strength to organize this ambush war.
Moreover, according to the memories of the surviving Mongols in that battle, it was their 40,000 iron horsemen who walked into the canyon, and suddenly the sound of the sky falling apart sounded, causing countless iron horsemen to be frightened, lose control, and trample on each other, and at the same time, countless rolling stones fell on the cliff, and then the belly of the mountain suddenly opened, and the ambush arrows rained down.
At that time, the Mongols almost thought that it was the wrath of the gods, but of course we knew that it was not, because that loud noise was probably the first real application of gunpowder in the history of warfare. Looking at the records of the Jin Kingdom's subsequent wars, none of them have used gunpowder.
Because of these views, they believe that this ambush war cannot be launched by the Jin State. Therefore, the spearhead of suspicion was pointed at the Chinese Empire, which later swept through the desolation of Kyushu, because in their subsequent rise, they used gunpowder weapons on a large scale for the first time in human history, and used them to be invincible.
However, this view is also untenable, because at that time, the Chinese Empire was far from being established!
In this way, the real initiator of this extremely successful ambush war has become a mystery for later generations.
Not only will it become a mystery in later generations, but the direct beneficiary of this war, Wan Yan Honglie, is also confused by this.
When he was terrified by the almost unanimous wave of opposition from the dignitaries in the country, he suddenly heard the powerful news that the Jin army had annihilated the brutal Mongol army in the Nameless Canyon, and Wanyan Honglie couldn't believe his ears.
Elder Ximen's expression of ecstasy and admiration made Yan Honglie feel like he was in a dream, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Is the Mongol army really almost completely wiped out?"
"Of course, that battlefield was discovered by my Iron Palm Gang, but now it has been blocked by the army, if the prince is not at ease, he can go over and check it at any time. ”
"Temujin is dead, too?"
"It is that the bodies of Temujin and Zamuhe were not found, which can be regarded as a fly in the ointment, but the prince does not need to be disappointed, the 70,000 Mongol army was lost in the Central Plains, which is already a great injury. The resentment of the dignitaries of the DPRK and China against you will never be seen again, and no one can shake your power in prison. ”
"Is it really our Dajin army that did it?" Wanyan Honglie stood up from behind the bookcase, supported the case with both hands, and asked Elder Ximen with wide eyes.
"Eh?" Elder Simon was stunned, "Don't you know, my lord? Could it be that which general sent troops without authorization?"
Saying that, he frowned again, and said: "No, I have checked it below, none of the army that my Dajin is compiling is possible, this must be the army you are hiding in the dark, right?"
Wanyan Honglie's face distorted for a while, he took a long breath, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Of course it was the ...... made by this king" (to be continued.) )
