Chapter 1485 Sweat, you have to hold on!

Yang Tiexin's son Yang Jing was a cavalry officer from the "Huashan Sect". At this time, he was leading a cavalry battalion to wander around the battlefield, looking for opportunities to attack the Mongolian artillery positions.

But Tolei left a team of thousands of Mongolian cavalry guarding near the artillery position. Yang Jing had only more than 900 light cavalry (also had breastplates and helmets), and he was not the opponent of 1,000 Mongolian cavalry equipped with spears and full armor.

So Yang Jing had to take his cavalry battalion around the battlefield, and he found some small groups of Mongolian cavalry who had retreated from the battlefield and reorganized.

Mongolian cavalry launched a series of attacks on the scale of a hundred-man team, and after the impact was completed, they did not engage in hand-to-hand combat, but retreated to reorganize. Sometimes they had to change horses, so they had to retreat to the rear position. In this process, they were more likely to be attacked if they were active in a hundred-man team.

It should be mentioned that on the battlefield of this era (and other eras are the same), the soldiers are not always in a state of combat.

Most of the time, they walk around the battlefield, waiting for orders or supplies, waiting for the enemy's attack, and conducting various activities such as formation or transformation.

The cavalry spent longer on the battlefield, and only a small part of the time they really invested in combat.

Because they not only have to leave time for themselves to recover their physical strength, but also have to accumulate energy for the war horses.

So on the battlefield west of Yilie Fort, on the morning of July 17, 1217, the Western calendar, there were a large number of cavalry teams scattered and rushed over.

The more than 900 cavalry led by Yang Jing were one of them. They did not use any banner, nor did they run quickly, but instead acted slowly on the battlefield.

Just as he was looking for the next target to attack, someone suddenly pointed in one direction and shouted: "Look at there, the Mongols' big flag!"

Yang Jing knew that the flag was located, there must be a military officer with the first level of ten thousand households!

"Let's go and have a look!" Yang Jing didn't know that what he found was Tolei's original formation. If he knew, he would definitely not dare to lean on it.

At this time, there were only two or three hundred cavalry around Tolei. Although he left five hundred teams for himself, there should be 500 cavalry in theory. However, these cavalry could not surround Tolei, and had to support the guard circle. So two hundred cavalry were dispersed, and dozens of cavalry ran around on the battlefield to pass orders.

The first person to have contact with Yang Jing's cavalry was the cavalry of the Thunder guard Thousand-Person Team who were guarding the periphery. There were not many people, because the guard circle was wide, and Yang Jing's cavalry broke through from a little bit.

The battle happened very suddenly. After the Mongolian cavalry on the jail sentry released the warning rocket and rushed up with a spear.

What was facing them was a dense rain of bullets, and then the sabers of the light cavalry. Although the Mongolian cavalry had a strong combat power, they still had an overwhelming advantage in the number of Song troops, which had a musket, but they were still just a mantis arm to block the chariot.

After breaking through the guard circle outside Toulei, Yang Jing led the cavalry to rush towards Toulei's flag.

Tuo Lei just realized that something was wrong, but the Mongolian prince who had been in the battle formation for a long time was not panicked. He did not fight hard with the Song cavalry who suddenly came over, but immediately began to move.

His original formation is also composed of cavalry and can naturally move.

So Tolei took his guards to move on the battlefield. His running was equivalent to telling Yang Jing who was chasing that he was a very important boss.

Yang Jing, who found out that he had hit a big fish, refused to give in and led the cavalry to chase him from behind, and he also sent out a team to encircle him from time to time.

However, Tolei's cavalry and horses are good, so it is impossible for Yang Jing's cavalry to be truly surrounded. Their "surrounding" is actually just driving Tolei away.

It would not be easy to organize 900 cavalry to drive the opponent to the designated area! If it had been more than a hundred years ago, when the Song Dynasty was still establishing its capital in Kaifeng Prefecture, almost no one in the Song Dynasty's imperial guards could do this.

Because I can't learn this skill from military books, even if I can learn theories, I will be able to keep things in chaos when I really go to the battlefield. To truly master this skill, I must frequently hunt the military aristocratic class of the Western Song Dynasty. Now I regard hunting as a main entertainment method. As a playboy, if I don't know how to hunt or polo, I'm embarrassed to meet people.

Therefore, Yang Jing has been a military noble for generations (he is a descendant of Yang Zaixing), and before he "going to Huashan", he was a good player in organizing hunting activities.

Only after "up to Mount Hua", can one practice and combine theory and become an excellent Ranger officer.

In his cavalry battalion, almost all the officers were from the military aristocrats of Jiahuashan Martial Arts Hall, and they mastered the essence of the rangers through hunting activities.

Now of course, we can force Tolei to the area where the Song army's "gun doctors" are spread.

Tuo Lei also knew that the cavalry behind him was driving him as prey, but he had no way to escape. He only had more than 200 cavalry beside him, and when he turned around and fought with nearly 800 cavalry, he would have no chance of winning. If someone slaughtered him, today's battle would be a loss.

However, he was also careful to avoid the Song army's cannons as much as possible, and also rushed towards several teams of Song army musketeers who were fighting in a group and the Mongolian cavalry who were wandering around the Persian Immortal Army.

As long as we meet in two aspects, Tolei will not be afraid of the pursuers behind him.

But he also made a mistake in his busy schedule. For a moment, he forgot that there were many gun doctors in the grass nearby!

In fact, these gun doctors are not having a good time now. They are being attacked by several Mongolian 100 teams. The Mongolian cavalry teams that Tolei saw are actually searching for scattered gun doctors in the grass.

However, the search effect was not very good, because the gun doctors were squatting in the grass and firing cold guns. It was difficult to find if they were not close, and they would get bullets if they got close. What's worse is that the Song army's spear phalanx behind the gun doctor was advancing forward, wanting to support the gun doctor and the musket phalanx that was being besieged.

At this moment, Tolei brought more than 200 Mongolian cavalry who were panicking and crashed into it.

Behind Tolei, a tall and powerful Mongolian warrior was carrying the Sulu ingot given by the Great Khan... This guy was probably afraid that the snipers of the Song army would not know where the big men of the Great Mongolia were, right?

Tuo Lei was also a momentary negligence and did not look back, otherwise he would definitely put away the big crow.

He was negligent, and he had no eyes on the back of his head, but the doctors who used the cat to put cold guns in the grass were clever. They were all the masters who could write poems and martial arts to fight black guns. As soon as they saw the black big crow, they knew that there was a big man.

So the gun doctors within a hundred or dozens of steps around Tolei aimed at him. With a crackling spear, the poor Tolei was immediately beaten into a blood gourd. He didn't even have time to scream and fell from the horse's back.

The Mongolian warriors behind him couldn't care about the gun doctor anymore. They all rolled down from the horse's back and rushed to Tolei.

Tuo Lei was no longer able to do it. He was shot four or five times, and blood flowed all over the ground, dyeing the grass around him red, and he couldn't speak. He let out a few gurgling sounds in his throat, and he was very reluctant to give in.

Mengge, Kublai Khan, and Hulagu, have all become orphans without fathers. But the worst thing is Alibuge, who competed for the Khan throne with Kublai Khan in history. He will be born in two years!

Now that Tuo Lei died, he was wiped out directly... It's so pitiful.

...

Tolei's death did not immediately cause the collapse of the Mongolian army, because not many people knew about it.

Now the Mongolian army on the battlefield is divided into three parts, one is the Persian Immortal Army commanded by Belegutai. One is the Mongol artillery, the baggage troops and a thousand-person cavalry team guarding them. It is commanded by Tolei's deputy operation Chitai. And the other is the cavalry commanded by Tolei himself.

So now all the cavalry lost their command is Tolei's cavalry, but these cavalry are now operating in dispersed ways and there is no need to give orders at any time.

Therefore, his death did not become a turning point in the battlefield situation, and the fighting between the two armies continued on the battlefield.

What really caused a turning point in the battlefield situation was the spearmen of the Song army and the cavalry led by Yang Jing, who also joined the expulsion of the Mongolian cavalry.

These cavalry and spearmen in platoons were not enough to defeat the Mongolian cavalry in dozens of cavalry and more than a hundred cavalry, but their actions interfered with the Mongolian cavalry's search and combat against the gun doctors.

The gun doctors who were freed from the pursuit of the Mongolian cavalry began to use precise shooting against the Mongolian cavalry and quickly drove them away.

After driving away these Mongolian cavalry, the cavalry, spear doctors and spearmen of the Song army were finally freed to support their own musketeers who had been beaten to the point of collapse.

However, this kind of a bit late reinforcement is no longer of great significance to Guo Kang.

His body had been pierced by a Persian spear. His hands were clutching the gun rod tightly, and his face was full of unwilling expressions. The strength in his body was really passing away. There was only a beautiful figure in his mind, which was his sister-in-law Huang.

"How great it would be if I were the eldest son of the family. My sister-in-law was so beautiful..." This was Guo Kang's thought at the last moment of his life!

Guo Kang's death and the death of another two or three hundred Song army musketeers were valuable. Their sacrifices bought valuable time for the subsequent attack and development of the troops. At the same time, they also greatly consumed the morale of the Persian Immortal Spikes.

With so many people in my family and their weapons, I can't defeat these Song troops... Is the Song army too strong?

The disaster of the Persian Immortal Army came soon. The first thing that caused them to suffer heavy losses was of course the Song army's ace gun doctor's troops!

The murderous men who had been sleeping with a coercine at the age of seven or eight, were very murderous! The precise projectiles flew towards the soldiers of the Persian Immortal Army, and they were killed and injured.

Then the attack of the Song army's spearmen! These spearmen did not form a large formation of thousands of people, but scattered into a phalanx, encircling the rear of the Immortal Army from the left and right directions.

Where can the Immortal Army, which was close to collapse, resisted it? It collapsed in an instant, like an ant nest encountering water, rolling backwards.

Temujin's younger brother Belegutai Yekura retreated in panic and led his personal soldiers to the artillery position where Jochitai was. When he saw the pale face, he asked, "Yeah, where is the Yan (Torlei's title)?"

Shu Chitai replied in a trembling voice: "Okay, but that look is gone..."

"What's gone?"

The sound on the battlefield was noisy, and Bellegutai didn't understand it for a while.

"But that look is gone! He was killed by Song Ren's musket..."

"What?" Belegutai exclaimed, "But Na Yan is Dahan's favorite child!"

"It's gone!" Shu Chitai looked sad, "Biele Gutai, we have defeated the battle and lost it, but that handsome... we can only apologize to the Khan!"

Without Tolei, Shu Chitai had no intention of fighting again, and the Persian Immortal Army of Belegutai suffered heavy losses. If he continued to fight, he had to invest in Tolei's ten thousand households to fight... According to the rules set by Temujin, this ten thousand household should be inherited by Tolei's three legitimate sons. Shu Chitai was Tolei's brother-in-law, Mengge, Kublai, and Hulagu were all his nephews. Of course, he was unwilling to spend all his nephew's property now.

Belegutai also sighed, and he had no confidence to continue fighting.

The Song army's musketeers are so powerful that the Immortal Army is no match for them at all!

...

It was only two days later that Shu Chitai and Belegutai met the Great Khan Temujin.

Temujin felt restless a day ago, so he did not follow the army, but led his Qiexue army to stay and wait for his beloved son Tolei.

But after waiting for a while, before waiting, Tuo Lei, he only waited for the rusty and grimaced Belegutai and Shu Chitai.

"Where is Tolei?" asked the Mongolian Khan.

"Big, sweat..." When Shu Chitai saw Temujin, she burst into tears and her words were not smooth.

Bellegutai calmed down, turned off the horse and knelt down to his brother, "Brother, I apologize to you..."

Ask for guilt? What is your sin? Even if you are guilty, there is no need to apologize. I am your brother and I will definitely cover up. Could it be that

Temujin's heart was just a thrust. Could it be that something happened to the torment?

To be honest, he was not sad at all when he heard the news of Shu Chi's death... But Tuo Lei was different. He was his own son! He was also his favorite son among his legitimate sons! That was Temujin's heart!

"Brother, Tolei, Tolei, Tolei, he handed over Song Gou with a musket!" Belegutai cried and said, "It's all my fault. I should stop him and prevent him from going forward to command!"

When Temujin heard the bad news, his eyes turned black and muttered: "Tulei, Toulei...I'll fight with them!"
