Chapter 237 Kublai Khan's End

"The emperor is really the case when we divide the troops at this time." Brother Sang complained: "We only have a little force in our hands. If we divide them, how can we fight this battle?"

Kublai Khan has always been known for his convincing handling of affairs. There are very few things like this one that are very dissatisfied. It is really hard to accept his order to divide the troops in Timuer.

Timuer didn't say anything, sighed and said, "Yes, it's really not appropriate to divide the troops now. Even if we concentrate all the troops in our hands, we may not be able to beat the Southern Dynasty. If we divide the troops again, it would not be like sticking out our necks for the Southern Dynasty to chop them."

"Yes, general, no matter how you can't divide the troops, you should explain to the emperor immediately." Brother Sang agreed with Temuer's analysis and gave him some advice.

Timuer shook his head and said, "No, let's divide the troops." He waved his hand to stop Brother Sang from saying, "Don't say too much, can we do without division of troops? The Southern Dynasty landed in the east, which was like aiming the sharp sword at Dadu. If we did not divide the troops, most of them would not go down day and night? Nowadays, most of them are almost an empty city, and Brother Bier can't count on him. Can there be a better way besides dividing the troops?"

That's the truth. Although Brother Sang was unwilling to do so, he still had to accept the cruel reality of division of troops. He stomped his foot and sighed: "General, what do you think we should do?"

Timuer pondered for a moment and said, "Our strength has been greatly weakened for this division of troops. The original plan to encircle and annihilate the Southern Dynasties' army is impossible to achieve. We should retreat here to make a defense. Our task can only be to delay, and delay time is to win." Baoding was pointed at the place where he pointed to the map.

"This is the emperor's secret decree." The personal soldiers trotted in and handed the secret decree to Jie Jin.

Jie Jin took it, took it apart, nodded and said, "The emperor is really an expert. He thinks of everything. We can come to whatever we need." He handed the secret order to the European army.

When the European Army took it, he said happily: "If you want to sleep, someone will hand you a pillow immediately. Such things are always happy. The emperor's will is like giving us pillows. Musketeers and special infantry have arrived, so we can spread the net even bigger."

"With these two new forces, what are our concerns?" Jie Jin agreed with the European army's view and said: "Even if the Tartars want to encircle and annihilate us, it is impossible. Even if Kublai Khan sent a million troops, I can take the head of his general."

The combat capability of musketeers is obvious to all. The mobility of special infantry has been proven and their combat effectiveness is also extremely strong. With the help of these two arms, Jie Jin has always been very brave.

"General, there is something wrong." Bai Shuiyi, the general, trotted in and reported to Jie Jin: "There are news coming from the front that the Tartars are showing signs of retreat."

"Did the Tartars retreat?" Jie Jin and the European Army were very surprised. At the same time, they walked to the map and looked at the map. The two looked at each other. Jie Jin pondered: "Yes, General Liao successfully landed. The Tartars were dispatched to the eastern front. As for Timuer himself, I think he had to retreat north when his troops were dispersed, looking for a more favorable opportunity to fight us."

The European Army nodded and said, "I completely agree with your analysis. Old man, the opportunity has come. Why don't we take this opportunity to stew it in a pot, not only eat Thomur's army, but also transfer him to the eastern front."

"You have a big appetite." Jie Jin nodded and said, "You have a good idea, and I think so too. I think we will also divide the troops into two groups. You and the musketeers go to the northern line, chase Tamur, and I and the special infantry go to the eastern line. What do you think?"

European Army Xing thought for a while and said, "This is a good idea. Take advantage of the opportunity when the Tartars are unable to meet the battle on their retreat and will be wiped out in one fell swoop. After you finish this battle, you will hand over the aftermath to the special infantry, board the ship immediately, and go to join General Liao, and kill two birds with one stone."

"Then let's say that, let's go immediately." Jie Jin strode out, flew on his horse, clasped his fists at the European army, and said, "Old guy, take care of yourself."

Amid the sound of taking care of the European army, he ran away.

"General, I found a large number of Southern Dynasties troops behind me. They rode a strange thing with two wheels and ran very fast, not under our cavalry." The spy came over and jumped off the horse and reported it to Brother San for some inexplicable news.

The bicycle has two wheels, and this spy is really creative. He actually said it to him as two wheels, making a very extraordinary speech!

His words confused Brother Sang, frowned and shouted, "As a good spy, you must be concise and clear when reporting the situation. How do you do a spy like you are?

"My words are clear enough, what else can be considered concise?" The spy exclaimed in his heart, and he was quick to learn to know that he picked up a stone, and drew a bicycle on the ground, saying, "General, the Southern Dynasties army is the thing that is riding."

Of course, the spy's painting skills are nothing to say, it's very bad, but the outline is still inauspicious. Brother San looked at the horse with his neck tilted for a long time, but he didn't see any name. He jumped off the horse and squatted on the ground for a long time before asking, "You said, they rode this? Can this thing be rode?"

"Yes, no less than 10,000 or 20,000 people riding this thing, running fast, even our horses may not be able to get on as fast as possible?" The spy replied without thinking.

Under normal circumstances, it is easy for a horse to run fifty miles in an hour, but the bicycle does not have this high speed. However, this is chasing the Sange army. The special infantry is advancing at full speed, and its speed is naturally much faster than normal.

"I have never seen men riding women with two legs, but I have never seen them riding two wheels." Brother Sang said a swear word in his sigh and said, "Did you lie?"

The spy was so anxious that he stomped on the ground and said, "General, I don't dare to lie even if I have the courage to do so. This is a true matter. General, if you don't believe it, you can go and see it yourself."

"They only have more than 10,000 or 20,000 people. They don't take my brother Sang seriously. Even this little person dares to chase me." Brother Sang's eyebrows were chanted and ordered: "Send the order and prepare for battle."

General Meng Bai hurriedly reminded him: "General, our mission is to arrive at Dadu as soon as possible to defend the Eastern Front. We cannot waste time with the Southern Dynasties here."

"You only know one thing, not the other." Brother Sang rejected Meng Bai's proposal and said, "The court needs to win a battle now. A Southern Dynasty army with less than 20,000 people is right in front of us. How can we miss this opportunity? Besides, we are prepared, but they are not prepared and have rushed to fight. We are bound to win."

Mongolia has lost one after another in recent years, lost a large amount of land, and there is no decent victory at all. If this Southern Song army is eaten, it would be a huge news and will have an immeasurable effect on boosting the extremely low morale of the Mongolian army. It is hard to say anything about Mengbai.

As soon as the order was passed, the Mongolian army completed the order, waiting for the Song army to arrive. Not long after, countless figures appeared in sight, with flags flying, and it was the Song army.

Brother Sang widened his eyes and did not see the two wheels he had been waiting for for a long time. He saw the Song army lined up in an orderly formation and drove towards them. The bicycles were just carriers and could not be rushed on the battlefield. Of course, they were placed in a stable place before the battle. Brother Sang had no good fortune and could not see the bicycle style. It was a pity!

"I attack the central army, you attack the left and right wings. Remember, you must move quickly and vigorously, and you cannot drag it out without decisiveness." Brother Sang simply ordered. He slapped the horse's back and rushed out first.

Brother Sang has correct tactics and has an advantage in military strength. In theory, he can gain the upper hand. What he unexpectedly did was that the progress of the war was not as he imagined. The special infantry responded calmly and did not lose the least. The formation was stable and could not be shaken by one or half a day.

Brother Sang, who was in a tough battle, began to regret it. If he had known that the special infantry was so difficult to deal with, it would be better to throw them away and go to Dadu. What he regretted the most was that after half a day, the spy rushed over and gasped, saying, "General, the big thing is wrong, a Southern Dynasty cavalry appeared behind him."

He was rushing to the road with all his might, and no matter what, the Song army could not catch up. Brother Sang was a little incredible and asked, "What did you say? The Southern Dynasty cavalry appeared behind us? How did they get to the back? Could they fly?"

Where can the spies answer these questions? Then they said: "There is a word Jie on their flag, which is probably the cavalry of Jie Jin."

Jie Jin's cavalry was good at long-distance raids. If he were him, the problem would be understood. He sent special infantry to pursue Brother Sang from behind, but Jie Jin himself rushed into the head in order to hold him in order to attack him again. Brother Sang, who knew this period, was really regretful and ordered: "Get out of the battle, you can't stop for a moment, retreat north."

Brother Sang was only half right, and Jie Jin wanted to stop him and then attack him from the front and back. This was true. However, what Jie Jin did not expect was that Brother Sang actually attacked the special infantry halfway. When Jie Jin received the battle report, he had already rushed far ahead and had to turn back. It was because Brother Sang and the special infantry fought for a long time before he arrived.

Jie Jin is the best at taking advantage of opportunities, so he would not give him the opportunity to command the cavalry to kill from behind. No matter how high the morale is, once an army is in a situation of being attacked from both sides, it will be a heavy blow to morale. Not to mention, the morale of the Mongolian army is now extremely low. An army with more than 40,000 people with nearly 50,000 people can't even get special infantry. Jie Jin put this pressure on him, and naturally he wanted to get: the Mongolian army immediately dispersed!

Sang Ge, an army that was urgently transferred to the eastern front by Kublai Khan, was dealt with by Jie Jin during the journey.

"General, Baoding is lost." The spy gasped and reported to Timuer.

His destination was Baoding. He wanted to arrive in Baoding and re-deploy the defense. Timur retreated with all his might. He was still about a hundred miles away from Baoding, but he received news that Baoding had lost. He couldn't believe it was true and asked: "Are you sure?"

"General, this is true." The spy replied quickly: "General Mieli breaks through with injuries and is waiting for the general to summon him." General Mieli, whom he mentioned, was the guard of Baoding.

The always calm Temuer said hurriedly: "Hurry, call General Mili."

General Mili was covered in blood and had many injuries on his body. With the support of two soldiers, he saluted Timur and said, "The general of Mili Buhua has seen him."

Meili Buhua was so seriously injured. Needless to say, Baoding must have been lost. This is what Temuer doesn't want to see the least. She just felt dizzy and forced herself to ask: "Tell me what happened."

"Abide by the order!" Meilibuhua was stunned for a moment before saying, "General, in the middle of the night yesterday, the city suddenly caught fire, the city gate opened to the unlucky people, and the Southern Dynasties army entered the city. After they entered the city, they killed us. The General was on the bed at that time, woke up in a hurry and responded to the battle. The Southern Dynasties were in great power, and the General was unable to turn the world back, so they could only escape. The General was reluctant to escape the blame.

Timuer thought for a moment and said, "You can answer my question first. How many Southern Dynasties are there?"

Meilibuhua estimated it for a while and said, "The specific number is unknown, it is estimated to be five or six thousand."

"You have less than 3,000 people in the Southern Dynasty, and you have less than 3,000 people. This is not your fault. Get up and you will be able to recover from your injuries." Timuer comforted Meilibuhua. The surprise attack on Baoding by the Song army was too unexpected. Even Temuer could not have imagined that Meilibuhua caught him off guard and was able to retreat even if his troops were not superior.

Meili Buhua never expected that Temuer would let him go, and said very moved: "Thank you General!"

Timuer waved his hand, and the soldiers retreated with Meilibuhua. Timuer ordered: "Tell me my order, don't control the formation, move forward with all your strength, and arrive at Baoding as fast as possible."

Bulu asked strangely, "General, Baoding has been lost. It is useless for us to arrive in Baoding. It is better to take a detour to Dadu."

"I was thinking that the Southern Dynasty only attacked Baoding last night, so there were not many troops that could arrive. We should bring Baoding back before the Southern Dynasty reinforcements arrived." Temuer explained.

Bulu lost, I had to admire Timuer's pleasure when he saw the opportunity and said, "General is brilliant."

Timuer's view cannot be said to be wrong. As he expected, there were indeed not many Song troops who arrived in Baoding to attack Baoding, but Timuer soon realized that his opponent was much stronger than he had imagined. Although this Song army was not many, its combat effectiveness was beyond his imagination. To put it exaggeratedly, he could not have imagined that there was such a warlike army in the world.

This Song army was not a cavalry marching in the European army, but a musketeer commanded by Dai Yuanjun. Timur had never fought with the musketeer, so he knew how powerful it was. It was not until the musketeer stood on the top of the city and fired at his army, his army was shot, and fell down in pieces, that he realized how powerful it was.

After paying a high price, the Mongolian army did not even find the city wall. Even though Timur was more courageous than ordinary people, he was still scared of it.

Baoding is a must-pass place for Temuer to retreat north. He originally wanted to use it as a base to organize a new defense here, but he did not expect it to fall into the hands of the Song army. After a few bloody battles, he decided to bypass Baoding and retreat to Dadu. The reason behind this is very simple. The musketeers defended Baoding, with the purpose of dragging him down and preventing him from retreating, and to buy time for the main force to arrive.

Timur's idea was very correct, and his plan could not be said to be wrong, but the ruthless fact is: the cavalry of the European army arrived as scheduled, and the sabers of the European army completely crushed his plan!

Li Jun handed the battle report to Zhang Shijie and said, "Look, we really don't even have to drink soup this time."

Zhang Shijie took it and read it, handed it to Gundam, and said, "Xie Jin, the European army is really good at running the army. They are getting more and more powerful. They dare to divide their troops in the deep hinterland of the Tartars and fought a beautiful annihilation battle."

Gundam looked at it and expressed his different opinions, saying, "This is not unusual, I can do it too. First, after the decisive battle in the Central Plains, our army's morale was greatly boosted and the fighting spirit was high. On the other hand, the Tartars lost all their elite troops, and there were not many troops, which could not stop our troops. Second, the people here opened the door to welcome the royal army, providing us with a lot of help, which reduced the resistance to our march a lot. General Jie and his actions looked dangerous at first glance, but in fact they were as stable as rocks."

His words were indeed pertinent. Zhang Shijie nodded and said, "What General Gao said makes sense. The strength is inconsistent with this increase and increase. Kublai Khan's original plan to encircle and annihilate Jin and the European army was an arrogant idea. Even if he had so many troops, his morale was not as good as our army, and he would inevitably collapse at a loss."

"Stop talking, let's go quickly." Li Jun made a summary speech and said, "Take aside the beautiful scenery of the north, hurry up and enjoy it. If you go late, the scenery will be appreciated by others."

Kublai Khan looked at the battle report in his hand and his face changed, saying, "Temuer's entire army was wiped out, and Babur could not hold on anymore. There was almost no defense in Dadu. If the Southern Dynasty soldiers were at the city, they could completely break it in one go."
