Chapter 206 Xu Liegu is frustrated
Chapter 206: Hulagu was frustrated
"Report to Khan, a team of cavalry was found in front of him blocking the way." The spy came over and reported to Hulagu with a heavy breath.
A cavalry was blocking the way, which was very common for Hulagu. He pressed to the east line. If Li Jun did not arrange an army to intercept him, it would be abnormal. After hearing this, Hulagu was very calm, and looked like an ancient well and asked, "How many people are there?"
"It's probably tens of thousands." The spy took a breath and answered quickly.
Hulagu said coldly: "Ten thousand? Just a little cavalry, you are scared to this, and you can't even tell the number." His words were very unkind.
Hulagu cannot be blamed. This spy's performance is unbearable. It is not surprising that he encountered tens of thousands of cavalry in such a large-scale battle. It is very common, and he was so scared that he couldn't breathe and could not say a detailed number. Not to mention Hulagu's unhappiness, even if anyone else would feel very unhappy.
The spy followed Xulagu for many years and knew that he had been angry, he hurriedly said, "Report to Khan, there are about 60,000 people."
"What else do you have to say?" Hulagu is really brave. He has an army of less than 30,000 people. When he met a cavalry unit of 60,000, he didn't care at all. He asked the spy coldly but stopped.
The spy hurriedly said, "Khan, it seems that these cavalrymen are Mamulik."
"Mamuliuk?" Hulagu immediately became energetic when he heard this and asked, "Did you see clearly?"
The spy hurriedly affirmed: "When Khan comes back, it should be the Mamuliuk army of Baibar."
"I can find a place without any effort to find it!" Hulagu was enthusiastic and blurted out the Han saying, "Baibal, it turns out that you have come to the Central Plains. This will save Ben Khan's heart and get rid of you in one fell swoop. Pass my order and hit both sides of Baibal from the left and right wings, and the rest will come with Ben Khan. Capture Baibal alive and reward one thousand pounds of gold! Kill a Mamulik and reward one pound of gold."
These semen people are already very greedy. Hulagu offers such a heavy reward. As the saying goes, "There will be a dead husband under a heavy reward." All of them are energetic, and the light of greed like a hungry wolf shot out in their eyes. They shouted and rushed over like crazy.
Baibar once again felt the terribleness of Xulagu, but under the current circumstances, he had nowhere to retreat and could only face it and fight a war. If he retreated without fighting, the artillery troops deployed by the Southern Song Dynasty might have to fire at them. Not only would they be killed by death in vain, but they would be in the name of fleeing without fighting. It would be a trivial matter to be ridiculed by Li Jun, if they were useless soldiers to make things difficult for them, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After weighing the trade-offs, Baibar gritted his teeth, pulled out the Damascus scimitar, held it high above his head, and shouted: "The warriors of Allah: Hulagu said that he would kill us all, cut open our chests, and throw our hearts on the side of the road to feed the wild dogs. He also said that he would send the great Allah to hell. The warriors of Allah are the time for us to dedicate our lives to Allah. Long live Allah!" He slapped his horse and rushed out first.
Hulagu implemented a religious policy of protecting Christianity and damaging Islam in the Middle East. Countless Islamists suffered from his tragic actions. Everyone knows this. Although Baibar is a slander, the effect is not bad. The Mamuliuk army all believed it, waved the Damascus steel knife and shouted: "Long live Allah!" and rushed over.
On the one hand, he was blinded by greed, but on the other hand, he made the blood boil and became a madman. As soon as he fought, he killed the sky and the earth, and the corpses accumulated like mountains and blood flowed into a river.
"Be careful, be careful." A low reminder came from the dark night, and teams of soldiers from the Qixue Corps drove eastward. Their horse's hooves were wrapped in cloth and the horse's mouth was held. When they moved, they had no longer the grand momentum of the past, nor the thrilling power of the golden sword and iron horse.
Timuer rode on the horse's back, pulled the reins, stood beside the road, and asked, "Is there any situation?"
"Everything is normal." Saidian Chi pulled the horse's reins and stood beside Temur, saying with confidence: "We will do the opposite of this action. Even if the emperor of the Southern Dynasty is ten times smarter, it will be difficult to guess. When we approach their camp, they will feel better."
Temuer was very happy about his bold approach to the east. After hearing Saidian Chi's words, he said excitedly: "This is called a wise man who will make mistakes! Although the emperor of the Southern Dynasty made no decisions, there was still a time of miscalculation. This rare opportunity was finally caught by us, and the outcome will be decided tonight. Pass my order, act carefully, and if there is any violation, behead!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Sang came over and said seriously: "No, there are still many Southern Dynasties troops behind us, with at least more than 10,000 people approaching us."
"Can it be discovered by the Southern Dynasty?" Saidiana said worriedly.
Timur's analysis is always different from others, and he said happily: "Very good. We have succeeded in seven out of ten."
His words made Brother San and Saidian confused, and they asked in unison: "Why is this?"
Timuer smiled slightly and said, "Think about it, if you were the commanders of the Southern Dynasty, what would you do in this situation?"
"Then you have to think about it. Of course, it is to send troops to block us and prevent us from slipping out, and then send troops to encircle and annihilate us." Brother Sang blurted out without thinking.
Sai Yeona immediately agreed and said, "It must be like this."
"That's right." Timuer was very satisfied with the two of them's answers and said, "They will send troops to seal the door, but we have already arrived. Do you think they can seal it?"
This reminded Saidian Chi and Sang Ge. They suddenly realized and said, "General is so clever. We are really confused. We didn't even think about the principle of catching the snake and letting go of the snake's tail."
Timuer was very satisfied with the two of them's understanding and said, "Don't worry about the things that happened next. As long as we rush out, everything will change. Send the order and rush."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sound of killing came from behind. The sound was too loud and the earth was shaken. Needless to say, it must be the Southern Song army that took action, and of course the purpose was to seal the mouth.
Brother Sang was very worried and said, "General, if the Southern Dynasty army did not seal the gap, but broke the gap, wouldn't we automatically deliver it to the door?"
Although the sealing and truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated truncated
Sainno Akaide was also a little worried and said, "I have to be careful about this."
Timuer listened for a while and smiled, "Your worries are unnecessary. They have killed more troops to our camp, and fewer troops to us. This shows that they are sealing the gap, not breaking the gap."
Brother Sang and Saidianchi pricked up their ears and listened for a while, raised their thumbs up, and praised: "General is brilliant."
Timuer slapped his horse and headed east. As for him, as long as he broke out of the encirclement, he could surround the Song army, and everything would change. As for the melee behind him, the more exciting the battle, the better it would be. It would divert the attention of the Song army and buy time for their actions. At the same time, it would also attract the Song army's troops to them and reduce resistance to their actions.
His idea was indeed good, but he believed in his judgment too much. He did not expect that until now, they were still surrounded by the Song army. The Song army took action behind them, whether they were killing towards the camp or coming towards them, the result was the same: they were divided.
The passionate Temuer was awakened by the screams of a soldier, who shouted: "Look, what a beautiful star." Temuer looked closely and saw a bright meteor dragging its long tail flames across the sky, and a bright curve appeared in the sky, which was particularly beautiful.
Timuer was stunned for a moment, blurted out, and said, "No, we're fooled."
His words were confused. Sang Ge and Saidian Chi asked in confusion: "General, what's wrong?"
"This is a signal flare. The Southern Dynasty is about to bombard. Hurry up, let the soldiers lie down." Timuer hurriedly ordered.
His changes were too fast. He was still full of confidence just now, but now he was in a panic, which made it difficult for Brother Sang and Saidianchi to understand. Before the two could ask the questions in their hearts, the corner of the betting of Temuer's words came out: countless meteors appeared in the night sky, dragging their long tail flames and flew towards them.
These meteors flew from left and right and right in front of them, and were particularly beautiful in the night sky, interwoven with a magnificent and majestic picture. If they were not seen in person, they would not even imagine such a grand and beautiful picture.
The Qixue Corps is one of the most elite troops in Mongolia. It was originally established with only 10,000 people, but it was the most elite soldiers. In today's terms, these soldiers are not only excellent soldiers, but also very good commanders. They are proficient in command art. Western scholars believe that this is Genghis Khan's non-commissioned officer school and the core of the entire Mongolian army.
Kublai Khan, like his previous generations of Khans, cherished this army very much and did not easily send it to the battlefield. What this army lacked the most was combat experience. They had long heard of the artillery of the Southern Song Dynasty and had received corresponding training, but so many artillery far exceeded their imagination and were shocked and did not know how to respond. Until the explosion sounded one after another, they woke up like a dream and fell to the ground.
However, it was already one step late, and they had paid an extremely heavy price, and many soldiers were buried in artillery fire.
Timuer punched the horse hard on the back, raised the front hooves of the war horse, and cried out in a long cry, and said hatefully: "We were fooled! We were fooled!"
"What a hindsight!" Brother Sang thought to himself. Even the pig understood it until now, and he still needed to say it. Brother Sang said angrily: "Yes! The emperor of the Southern Dynasty is so cunning, even he guessed this."
The plan to enter the east was agreed by Temuer and others in a hurry. It was impossible for someone to disclose the secret. Even if someone leaked the secret, the Southern Song Dynasty could not concentrate so many artillery in such a short period of time. This result can only be one reason, because Li Jun had long since decided that they would do this, so he set up an ambush here.
What does this mean? This shows that Li Jun is a very difficult opponent. It is already low enough to say that it is very difficult to deal with, but to be precise, it should be invincible. Thinking of Li Jun's terribleness, Brother Sang's face turned pale.
Saidian Chi was speechless, and he was as Sang Ge thought.
However, Timuer's next words made them even more unsurprising. Timuer said: "It's not that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty was cunning, but that we were fooled by Yierhan!"
Brother Sang and Saidian Chi looked at Temuer with your playing eyes. As they thought, Hulagu and they were in the same group, so they couldn't understand the reason why they were fooled. They couldn't understand how to treat the conclusions that Temuer had drawn with extremely high wisdom as a joke.
Not to mention that they are difficult to understand, anyone would think as they did. In fact, they did not expect that the party who reinforced in the war always exaggerated the words. Even if there were only 10,000 or 20,000 people, it would be 30,000 to 50,000, with only one purpose to cheer up the besieged. This is common in war. The most extraordinary thing is that there is no aid at all, but a large number of reinforcements have arrived. Just hold on for a while. However, the persistent ones will not see the shadow of a reinforcement until the entire army is wiped out.
"Yirhan didn't lead 300,000 troops to reinforce us." Temuer said helplessly: "His joke is too big, and we may be wiped out."
As for Hulagu's failure to lead 300,000 troops to reinforce, Brother San and the others couldn't figure it out anyway, and said in unison: "No way?"
"If he had led 300,000 troops to press forward, would the Southern Emperor calmly deploy so many artillery here? He would have transferred the artillery to the Western Front to deal with Yierhan." Timuer explained to the two people who were ungrateful.
Brother Sang and the others were not stupid either. They woke up Temur, and their mouths were so wide that they couldn't close together for a long time. They never thought that Hulagu would exaggerate and make such a big joke with them. In fact, Hulagu's approach is understandable. The problem is that Temur and the others were eager to make contributions and were too aggressive, which led to the current situation.
"Retreat, retreat." Timuer did not wait for Brother Sang and the others to react and issued a retreat order.
It is impossible to say that Timuer's handling is wrong and he cannot move forward. He can only retreat. He has not given the opportunity to block the artillery behind him and retreats to calculate as much as he can. Otherwise, if the Southern Song Dynasty artillery extends and blocks the rear road, they can only turn into pieces under the bombardment of the artillery.
When Timuer saw things, this rare characteristic played a role again. Soon he realized that he had been fooling around tonight. The Song army behind them was not a seal, but a crack, because not only were the overwhelming hand-throwing cast iron bombs, but also the shells flying in the sky.
The mission of the Song army was to break the hole. He first killed the Mongolian camp for a while, in order to confuse Timuer and make them mistakenly think that the Song army was coming to seal the hole, so they could rush forward with all their might. Then the more people rushed into the power of the artillery, the greater the killing. Timuer could understand this, but he couldn't understand why the Song army's shells were almost blocking the hole. Of course, if he knew that the Southern Song Dynasty now had more advanced steel cannons, the question would not exist.
It seems that the Southern Song Dynasty was determined to clean them up. The cannons were blown up endlessly, from dawn to dawn, there was no sign of stopping. From dawn to the middle of the sun, there was still no sign of stopping. From noon to sunset, there was finally stopped. When the cannons stopped, Kublai Khan's Qixue Corps, which was leaning against the Great Wall, could cancel the number, and the survivors were survivors.
After a long time, Zhu Ruixiang recalled, "The shells were denser than raindrops, falling straight into the Tartars, and the Tartars were denser than shells. When a shell went down, it was not a blow-down, but we saw countless blood splashing in the air from afar, interwoven beautiful scrolls.
"At the beginning, we were very excited. The Tartars were finally punished, which was a great pleasure. However, later, we really couldn't bear to watch it anymore. I asked the emperor for an order to stop, but the emperor seemed to be determined to completely eliminate the Qixue army. No matter what I said, the emperor always refused. Later, I became numb and mechanically issued a bombardment order until the emperor ordered it to stop.
"After a long time, I asked the emperor why he was so cruel at that time. The emperor's words made me realize it suddenly. I have to admire the emperor's foresight."
As for what Li Jun said, it would be better to listen to his own statement: "To be honest, under the circumstances, there was no better way for us to send them completely to see Genghis Khan. If we cancel the shelling too early, we could certainly capture many Qiexue corps, but we would send a lot of people to guard it, which would disperse our troops and unable to concentrate our troops against Hulagu. Of course, letting Qiexue corps wipe out the entire army in this way can also achieve the effect of shocking the enemy's heart. This is also the signal I sent to Hulagu: This is your role model!"
