Chapter 20 The Battle of Lin'an (Part 2)
Li Jun and the others had already calculated the reaction of the Mongols and had already prepared a solution. Liao Shenggong raised the flag and the cavalry guarding the two wings immediately rushed out and rushed into the Mongolian riots, without giving Boyan the chance to reorganize his combat formation.
The artillery bombardment just now made the Mongolian soldiers feel scared. Before they recovered, they were no match for the Song army. They rushed and killed the Song cavalry. They were really in chaos. They were completely defeated.
The steel crossbows kept moving under the protection of infantry, shooting and killing Mongolian soldiers, and even more chaos. Under the attack of cavalry and steel crossbows, there were very few of the first troops that Boyan had invested.
An excellent military commander must be able to make decisions on the battlefield based on specific circumstances, and if it should be abandoned, Boyan has this quality. He gritted his teeth and decisively transferred the reserve team to set up a formation outside the range of the Hui artillery. When the first batch of troops were not left, a new formation had already been formed.
Not allowing the opponent to form a dignified formation is the basic quality that every military commander should possess. Needless to say, Liao Shenggong, a genius, immediately commanded the army to rush towards the new formation. Unfortunately, the Mongolian iron cavalry's formation was like an iron barrel and could not rush at all. It was useless several times in a row. Li Jun said: "Don't worry, waste it with him first. Make a formation and carry out the next stage of attack."
Liao Shenggong received the order and directed the Song army to reorganize the formation and slowly pressed towards the new Mongolian formation.
Boyan looked at the city head and thought that there was no fire support from Huihui cannon. With the superb cavalry and shooting skills of the Mongolian army and the skillful fighting skills, he was afraid of it, and said: "Fighting formation! In the middle of the infantry! The cavalry wings are encircled! Remember, you must not enter the 300-meter range of the city wall."
Although the Mongolian army suffered a great loss in the first battle and suffered heavy losses, it was an excellent army after all, and there was no chaos at all. The overall combat effectiveness of the Song army was different from that of the Mongolian army. With steel crossbows to provide firepower support, they gained the upper hand in the battle just now and their morale was high. They all fought bravely to kill the enemy, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. They were evenly killed for a while, and it was difficult to decide the outcome.
Boyan was an excellent military strategist. He ordered the army to not be too concentrated, and to conduct close combat as much as possible. In this way, although the steel crossbow is good, it is useless. After obtaining Li Jun's consent, Liao Shenggong decided to separate the steel crossbows, form one by one, protect it with infantry, and shoot the enemy with movement, which was also good.
After a great battle, the victory and defeat were still not decided until the sun set. Since heading south, the Mongolian army has never encountered such fierce resistance. For the first time, Boyan felt hopeless to win and ordered the roar to withdraw. With the sound of the whimpering horns, the Mongolian army began to retreat.
Alahan waved the curled scimitar while commanding the army to retreat, muttering: "The bones of the Southern Barbarians are really hard, and the curled scimitars have been curled."
Seeing Boyan riding on the tall horse and commanding the army to retreat, Li Jun smiled and said, "Boyan, my Anda, the generous gift I prepared for you is here." He turned around and said to Zhao Qian, "Look at you."
Zhao Qian looked excited, rubbed his fists and said, "Master, you finally opened your mouth, I was impatient. Haha, I can finally let go and kill you. Damn, I kept itchy when I saw others kill so happily."
Wen Tianxiang touched him with his elbow and reminded him: "Be careful of etiquette." It means not to be rude in front of the sage.
Li Jun smiled and scolded: "You go and kill his mother."
Li Jun was so gentle and elegant, and Wen Tianxiang almost dropped his eyes to the ground. However, Zhao Qian was so excited that he burst into laughter and said, "Yes, kill his mother and turn her back!" He turned his back and took three thousand black cavalry out of the city.
Li Jun said to Wen Tianxiang, who was surprised, "The people who lead the troops occasionally need to swear a little, and they can't always be so polite. You think that the soldiers are not elegant people. If you speak elegantly to them, you will be a little bit like playing the piano. If you analyze it, the famous generals in history often have swear. Not everyone has it, most people have it."
Wen Tianxiang is a elegant man. Although he did not agree with Li Jun's statement, he had to give Li Jun face and hurriedly said, "The emperor is wise!"
If you pay attention to studying those famous generals, except for a few people who are really elegant and difficult to swear, most people have swearing. This is an indisputable historical rule.
"Blow the charge!" Liao Shenggong waved the flag, and hundreds of trumpet officers blew the charge together. Qingyue's loud charge played a beautiful battlefield music, making people feel excited. The soldiers of the Song army yelled: "Kill, kill, kill!" The long-term fierce battle swept away all of them, and they were all very energetic. They were like tigers in the South Mountain, and their weapons were chucked at the heads of the Mongolians. (Note: The charge really had an exciting power. On the Korean battlefield, the most headache for Americans was the charge. When the Americans heard the endless charges, they knew that something was wrong, as if God was calling.)
Gundam was so happy that he was so energetic that he heard the charge, and immediately came to his mind. He slapped his horse and chased Zhao Qian, saying, "Hey, boy Zhao Qian, you don't give me any such good things. Be careful that I recognize you, my old fist will not recognize you."
Zhao Qianbian Chong smiled and said, "General Gao, please leave your old fist for Boyan."
"Then you have to keep his life." Gundam struggled to chase him, but his mouth kept on.
Boyan never expected that when he withdrew his troops, the Song army not only did not withdraw their troops, but also came over and whispered in his heart: "What does this mean?" According to the military tactics, the soldiers were tired, needed rest and reorganization before they could fight again. The Song army actually broke this routine. He really didn't think about what was the intention.
What made Boyan even more puzzled was that the charge continued to ring, completely covering the whimpering sound of the Mongolian horn. The entire battlefield was filled with the clear and loud charge. After hearing this call, the Song army seemed to have taken stimulants and shouted to kill, while the Mongolian army was a little hard to say.
A team of black cavalry rushed over like a whirlwind. The riders were tall and rode on horses like an iron tower, extremely powerful. When the saber in their hands was swung out, someone would definitely fall down. It seemed that they were not fighting on the battlefield, but riding horses in the deserted wilderness.
Boyan felt something bad in his heart and shouted, "Stop them." A team of cavalry rushed up immediately.
The cavalry was confident that the cavalry had the upper hand, but what he unexpectedly expected was that the facts were completely opposite. Just as the two teams of cavalry were approaching, the things that were swung by the black knights flew into the Mongolian cavalry team, and then a shocking explosion sounded, and fireballs appeared one by one, and the Mongolian cavalry was blown up and overturned.
The black cavalry rushed into the Mongolian cavalry team and took advantage of the chaos to kill. In a short while, there were more corpses on the ground.
Such a tactic is extremely novel. Boyan has never seen it before, so he was stunned.
