Chapter 84: Mo Dao, Zhu Kui, etc. (1)

The seemingly aggressive enemy swept from the northwest, and the formation was chaotic, which was not to be said to be something Zheng Yunming could see through at a glance, but Han Feng further saw that their horses were stiff and rigid. Not to mention that they were not elite troops from the Mongolian headquarters, even Shi Tianze and Zhang Rou's cavalry were not as good as that. He knew without thinking that this must be a miscellaneous unit.

The visitor was the Uygur cavalry under the King of Gaochang. Originally, the most elite knights under the King of Gaochang were descendants of the Han military farmer left over from the Tang Dynasty. They all rode maroon-colored horses with long spears and were extremely brave, with about 500 cavalry. However, this soldier had been drawn to participate in the expedition to quell the Khwarezm rebellion. As for the Kangli soldiers and the Khwarezm soldiers, they were not convenient to call them for a long time. Naturally, there were people who could fight among the Uygur cavalry, but the number was not large. However, during the war, various troops came out to invite Han Feng's attacking troops. The Uygur cavalry was not to be outdone and rushed to the front with one horse.

"Just use this group of people as a breakthrough point to break the enemy's siege and attack!" Han Feng activated the war horses and rushed towards the distant people: "When the troops were not united, they would be wiped out one by one!"

When the Uygur cavalry watched the red armored iron flowing rolling in, they panicked. Before the two sides could approach the distance between shooting each other, the forward knights involuntarily fled. Their return horses collided with the friendly troops rushing up from behind, and the brigade was immediately in chaos. After two rounds of short muskets like thunder, the Uygur cavalry had already fled in scattered.

"Don't be greedy for those escaping guys and rush to the enemy to fight hard!" Han Feng understood that if he put the enemy to death one by one, the strength to annihilate 20,000 to 30,000 people alone would be exhausted. That was the time when the Mongolian army easily harvested the results. He could maximize the use of these thousands of cavalry in his hands, which was to desperately create chaos on the battlefield of the Mongolian army. When the army broke through the Uygur cavalry team and rushed north to Zhoudi, it was already close to the location of the Mongolian army's southern camp. The southern camp was originally used to store food, fodder, military supplies and various materials. It was originally the safest area of ​​the Mongolian army. Since Zheng Yunming led the army to cross the river, many troops have temporarily increased the defense. However, when these teams saw the Song army breaking in, they all fought out to fight, and instead emptyed the southern camp.

This is an opportunity that is not even one in a thousand. Han Feng still remembers the detailed process of Fuping's defeat when Zheng Yunming told him about the history of the war in the country. It was also the Jin cavalry who used their mobility to break into the Song Dynasty's baggage camp and caused chaos in the Song army. However, today they are facing a large cavalry group with much higher mobility than the Song Dynasty infantry. The opportunity is fleeting, and there is no time to hesitate for even a moment.

"Step forward!" Han Feng pointed his spear towards the Mongolian camp, and the cavalry roared loudly and rushed into the panicked civilians and cattle and horses.

Strictly speaking, if the progress of the Song army on the front battlefield is all attributed to the chaos caused by Han Feng's cavalry, the beautiful left-wing plagiarism, is unfair for the infantry fighting bloody front. However, calmly considering the entire war, the Song army braved the bad weather to seize the floating bridge and caused a decisive factor. Psychology is a very delicate thing. It does not need to be really exhausted until the ammunition and food are exhausted, so it will cause people to lose their combat effectiveness. Seeing that their back path is dismembering and burning on the Yangtze River, for many people

It is enough. Of course, the troops in the Mongolian headquarters still retained the iron discipline of the Mongolian era. Not only did they not panic, they even launched counterattacks against the Song army in front of them again and again. But this could not stop the panic of the mercenaries in the Western Regions, the Central Plains, the Danxiang army, the Tubo, the Uighurs and other surrounding barbarian servants. They ran around like roosters whose heads were cut off, causing chaos in the positions of the Mongolian army. Even the troops in the Mongolian headquarters were carried in, losing the ability to promptly reflect the wars ahead.

Accompanied by hundreds of large and small artillery, the Song army infantry advanced straight in and broke through several defense lines of the Mongolian army. Even Zhang Rou, Shi Tianze, Liu Yi and other generals of the hundreds of battles fled in panic, not to mention the new ten thousand households that were temporarily formed by plundering strong men in the Central Plains after just giving them a name. The collapse usually starts from one point, and then spreads at an avalanche-like speed, and eventually becomes a major defeat that no one can stop.

At this time, those who can still stick to their positions in the army must be the most dependent part of the Mongols.

When Bai Yijie commanded the army to the near Zhongliu of the Mongolian Army, he finally encountered an opponent.

At this time, the guards near Zhonglei were the most core combat power of the Mongolian army. In addition to the 30,000 Qiyan guards, there were 8,000 people from Qiyan's tribe who started in Mongolia and 20,000 people from the left-handed households of Mengge Khan. The most incredible thing was that there were 1,000 Khitan infantry led by the Secretariat Yelu Zhu who stood guard around the Mongolian Khan.

At this time, Mengge could not figure out what he was feeling. He might be angry, because the 400,000 soldiers under his command were so useless that they would collapse so easily under the attack of the Song people. It was simply the greatest shame for the Mongolian warriors in a century. He might be disappointed. He had a group of 100,000 people across the river and river, and regarded the millions of soldiers of the Jin Kingdom as nothing, and the iron cavalry flowed. The army that collapsed hundreds of thousands of people in the Western Regions was defeated by the cowardly Southern Dynasty. These playboys with malt sugar in their mouths faced their army and defeated them. When did the Mongolian army fall to this point? But at this time, Mengge suddenly felt relieved.

Starting from the unification of the desert, the Mongols' appetite became bigger and bigger. They wanted the people on the grassland, the people in the forest, and the people in the forest, fought against the Western Xia and the Jin Kingdom, and marched westward for thousands of miles, destroying countless countries, and even some destroyed countries, Mongge could not call their names. They repeatedly attacked the Southern Dynasty to the south. The Mongols were like a wolf chasing their prey forever. Although their running never stopped, as the empire became more and more prosperous and the country became stronger, there was always a voice in their hearts calling, stop, stop, and enjoy the wealth and tenderness brought by the war, stay away from the blood and heads, and stay away from the unstoppable expedition.

Laziness grew slowly in the empire like a spider web, gradually making the empire's actions stagnant, and eventually the entire empire was completely unable to move. Before the southern expedition, Mengge had already felt the obstacle of this laziness. It should be said that the laziness of the Mongols was obvious enough to make their Khan noticed. He ordered the men of the Hongjila tribe to be summoned to participate in the expedition. The Hongjila tribe refused for all kinds of incredible reasons and ordered the rebellious people in the forest. The two thousand elite Tatar warriors only went to the North Sea and reported the victory with great victory before they saw the enemy who was running away. Every small detail and every inadvertent act was telling the Khan in the dome that the Mongols were tired and needed to rest, and they also needed to enjoy wealth and no longer work hard in the wind and frost, do not fish, hunt and survive every day, and live some real high-class people's lives.

After the bravery and diligence of the three generations, naturally no Mongols dared to publicly propose this idea, so Mengge was able to gather an unprecedented army again to carry out this huge expedition. He could imagine that with this disastrous defeat as an opportunity, many Mongolian nobles would yell to stop the army and stop the war, learn from the Southern Dynasties' envoys to enjoy peace forever, and when the Southern Dynasties were summoned again, how many truly positive responses would be made by those severely damaged tribes. Since ascending the throne, Mengge felt that he was fighting this laziness all the time, and his secret competition with Kublai Khan seemed to retreat to the second place. Naturally, this unprecedented disastrous defeat would allow Kublai Khan to find an opportunity to attack, and after returning to the north, he would inevitably face

A cruel battle with this capable brother, no, not only Kublai Khan, but also Alibuge who was ready to move with Lin, Hulagu who was far away in Persia, and even the descendants of Badu, Chagatai and Ogedei uncle, as well as those Han people who seemed to be respectful, Jurchens, Dangxiang people, Tubo people, Kory people, Kangli people, and Weiwuer people. I don’t know what kind of thoughts they would have. But he felt relaxed in his heart. From then on, he no longer had to fight against the laziness of the Mongols, because after this crushing defeat, the Mongols would no longer have the strength to fight the southern expedition for at least twenty years. Mengge could devote all his energy to pacify all kinds of problems in this vast territory that he had never seen in history.

He was a little surprised when he found Yelu Zhu and some Khitan soldiers rushed over. He thought that even if Yelu Zhu was grateful for the kindness he gave to the high-ranking officials, his Khitans would definitely be rushing to escape first. Dahan asked in surprise: "Why haven't your Khitans escaped yet?"

Yelu Zhu knelt on one knee and said loudly: "The Khitan lost his country for a hundred years. The Khitan tribe was bullied by the golden dog and almost destroyed the clan. It was all thanks to the kindness of Genghis Khan to regain the might of the Iron Cavalry, follow the Khitans to fight east and west, and double the glory of the Khitans. Now only Mongolia is strong, the Khitans can be happy and healthy. If the Khitans are defeated, the Khitans will die without a place to bury them. If so, what's the use of escaping their lives today?"

The Khitan soldiers surrounding Yeluzhu listened to the words of the Lord General and sang loudly: "The Khitan's home is in the clouds and sand. The flowers of the Khitan are red. The rolling iron chariots are walking on the plains. The beautiful girl sings in a sing. A horse and a bow walk all over the grassland. How can you escape the cage of the Jin Kingdom without the blessing of the Khitan? The Khitan man is strong and is not afraid of iron arrows and blades. Wherever there is a Khitan enemy, the Khitans will attack fiercely, without breaking the enemy's head. They are not considered heroes of the grassland!"

"Okay, very good!" Mengge laughed: "Yelu Zhu, I now grant you the ten-way marching ten thousand households of Khitan, and lead the good men of Khitan to block Zheng Yunming! After I return to Helin, I will immediately grant you the King of Liao and let you rule the people of Liaodong land!"

Everyone understands that the promise at this time is just a mirror and a moon. Facing the rolling Song army, who can guarantee that he will escape unstoppable? But since Mengge made a promise, even if Yelu Zhu died in battle, the wealth of his descendants will be preserved. The Khitan soldiers cheered in their voices, raised the weapons in their hands and shook them towards the front.
