The remaining soldiers were defeated, and they continued to fight for hundreds of miles. It was not until they left the Song Dynasty and entered the Jin Dynasty, south of the Wei River in Qinzhou, that Subotai stopped moving and began to collect the defeated troops.
"In the tower, count the troops and horses."
Subotai's face was livid and his words were weak.
"Subotai, there are only more than three thousand warriors left."
After counting the men and horses in the tower, his expression was equally ugly.
"Go back and kill Song Jun by surprise!"
There were only more than 3,000 cavalry left. Su Butai felt like his heart was being cut by a knife and his body was trembling.
Of the more than 20,000 troops, only more than 3,000 were left. This trip to the Song Dynasty was a disastrous failure!
"Subotai, all the infantry are gone, and there are no craftsmen. If the cavalry goes back, there is no way to attack the city. It's better to withdraw our troops!"
Hearing that Subotai was about to fight back, Tarai, who had only one ear left, quickly tried to dissuade him.
The Song army had artillery and was not afraid of the Mongolian cavalry at all. What's more, the Song army has as many as 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers. The Emperor of Song Dynasty personally marched in the army. The Mongolian army does not have tens of thousands of soldiers and may not be able to fight.
The three thousand remnants of the army wanted to sneak attack the Song army who had a strong wall and a clear field. Subotai became angry because of shame, but he just wanted to save face.
"What, are you all afraid? At worst, nothing will be gained. The Song Army does not have many cavalry, and the bow and arrow range is not enough. Maybe it can kill the Song Army unexpectedly!"
Subotai said with a dark face, completely ignoring the uneasiness of the generals.
The generals were helpless and looked at each other. The Song army's bows and arrows could not shoot, but their artillery could hit them. With the indestructible power of the Song Army's artillery, these thousands of defeated soldiers who have lost their fighting spirit may not be enough to fill the enemy's teeth.
What's more, as soon as they enter the Song Dynasty, the opponent will light up the beacon warning. Without food and grass, what will the army eat and drink?
"Subutai, let's take a rest first. Some soldiers are still on the way. Once the army leaves, their numbers are too small and they are likely to be hunted down by the Jin people."
Tali touched his ears and grinned.
Among other things, his ears also need to be treated for wounds.
"The soldiers have a rest for the night and will return to Song Dynasty tomorrow night. Kill him without leaving a single piece of armor behind!"
Subotai said harshly, dismounted from his horse, and suddenly stumbled. Chawuer had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he hurriedly supported him.
"Subutai, are you okay?"
Tari looked at Subotai who was trembling and asked in surprise.
"Subutai, you're hurt!"
When he touched Subotai's back and saw blood all over it, Chaul screamed in shock.
"Stop howling! I hurt my shoulder a little bit, it's nothing serious. Don't disturb the morale of the army!"
Subotai frowned and stopped Chaul from screaming.
The soldiers carefully pulled out the iron pieces and took off Subotai's armor. Under Subotai's shoulder, a half-foot-long wound was still bleeding.
After cleaning the wound, applying medicine, and bandaging it, although no muscle or bone was injured, Chawuer still persuaded him.
"Subotai, the wound is not shallow. If it weren't for the armor, I'm afraid it would be bad. You need to take a good rest!"
The wound is deep, and I'm afraid I won't be able to ride a fast horse, lest the wound rupture and affect recovery.
"I said it's no big deal, I can't die!"
Subotai stared at the pale-faced Chaul.
"Chaul, are you scared?"
"Subutai, I don't. I'm just worried about your injury."
Chawuer quickly said with a smile.
Song Jun's firearms were so sharp that they could break through iron armor, and he felt no ordinary fear in his heart.
"Subotai, Chaul is worried about your injury. You should have a good rest and eat something first."
Tali, whose hair was wrapped like a rice dumpling, quickly persuaded Subotai.
Subutai would definitely be unhappy if he lost his troops and generals, but he would not dare to take his anger out on Chawuer.
Subotai snorted coldly and sat down on the mound nearby.
Tali winked, and Chaul and the other Mongolian generals quietly moved away from Subotai.
At this time, anyone who provokes Subotai who is in a bad mood is definitely asking for trouble.
"Subotai, the Emperor of Song Dynasty personally marched with an army of 70,000 to 80,000 people. It seems that they have been prepared in advance. Just keep an eye on it."
Tali said carefully, trying to persuade Subotai.
In fact, he wanted to persuade Subotai to return his troops. The Song army attacked with tens of thousands of troops, but with just a few thousand soldiers, there was no chance of victory.
Subotai looked ugly and sat on the ground without saying a word.
"It seems that the Song Army was well prepared for this attack on Mianzhou City. Not only did they not capture many people, but they also had no food, property, or jewelry. It was even hard to find medicine to treat the soldiers' injuries. The Song Army was well prepared, so we should be careful. some."
Tali sat on the ground and continued, speaking softly and trying to be as pleasant as possible.
In hundreds of battles at Subotai, this was the first time the Song Dynasty suffered a disastrous defeat.
"Tali, are you scared too?"
Subotai said coldly without raising his head.
"Subutai, please rest first and be careful about your wounds."
Tali quickly stood up and left wisely.
Subotai was so angry that he must take revenge.
He actually wanted to remind Subutai that the Song army was approaching fiercely and might send its troops north to capture the Mongolian camp in Lintao Prefecture. On second thought, I decided not to open my mouth.
The Song army had strong soldiers and horses. If Subotai wanted to lead all the troops to rescue them, wouldn't they, the remaining defeated generals, lose their lives in vain?
It is better to do less than to do more to live longer.
The next day, the defeated troops came to surrender one after another. Until evening, all the troops gathered and counted their numbers. They found that there were five or six hundred more horses, totaling four thousand. Subotai insisted on his opinion and led the troops to go south again and re-enter the Song Dynasty.
Tali and the others did not dare to say anything, and headed south with a grimace.
The army had not gone a few miles, but smoke and dust billowed from the west. Countless Mongolian cavalry came on horseback. When they arrived, they stopped in front of them, all of them with frightened expressions on their faces.
"Urel, aren't you in Lintao Mansion? Why are you here?"
Seeing the disgraced and disgraced soldiers, Subotai's heart sank and he asked immediately.
There are still two thousand elite soldiers stationed in Lintao Mansion, how could they leave without any reason?
"Subotai, the Song army is massive, with tens of thousands of cavalry, and they also carry firearms. They are too fierce. The camp in Lintao Prefecture was destroyed, and everything they looted was also taken away by the Song army!"
Urel was in shock and his face turned pale.
Tali's heart "thumped". As expected, the Song Emperor personally led the expedition, and the tens of thousands of Song troops came with great momentum. Sure enough, they came well prepared, not just to reinforce Mianzhou City.
But this is good, it may stop Subotai from continuing to look for Song Jun desperately.
"You useless loser!"
The Qiqiao was filled with smoke, and he raised his hand like a horsewhip.
Lintao Prefecture was lost, and the grain, grass, baggage, gold and silver treasures, and tens of thousands of horses captured from Xiliang Prefecture, Lanzhou, and Lintao Prefecture were also given to the Song army.
This is the humiliation of the Mongolian army! It was also an unbearable shame and humiliation for Subotai!
In less than a day and night, the Song army's cavalry marched more than 200 miles and rushed straight to Lintao Mansion. The soldiers were very fast. Isn't this the same trick as the Mongolian army?
"Go back with me! Take back Lintao Mansion with me! Destroy the Song army!"
Subotai's face was livid, he immediately turned his horse's head and was about to rush to Lintao Mansion.
"Subotai, the Song army has tens of thousands of troops. We are all cavalry and have no siege equipment. We may not be able to break Lintao City."
Tali plucked up the courage and quickly persuaded him.
Four to five thousand cavalrymen wanted to break Lintao City occupied by tens of thousands of Song troops. Isn't this a joke on the lives of the soldiers?
"Subotai, that's what the tower said. If you want to destroy the Song army, you should go back, recruit soldiers and horses, bring craftsmen and siege equipment, so that you can go all out and kill the Song army with blood."
It was a matter of his own life, so Chawuer had no choice but to persuade Subotai.
"Subotai, the Song army is so powerful that we cannot use force. On our way back, the Song army and horses could not be seen as far as the eye can see, at least there were fifty or sixty thousand. Lintao Prefecture has been lost. Without thirty or forty thousand people, I am afraid it will be difficult to capture it." return!"
Urel endured the burning pain on his face and persuaded loudly.
If he hadn't had a bright eye and led his men to escape, he might have been dumped.
"You stupid idiots!"
Subotai was furious and cursed loudly.
Without infantry and craftsmen, it is indeed impossible to break the city. But it’s okay to go back and take a look around to see what’s going on.
These guys were probably frightened by the Song Army's firearms!
"Come back with me! Let's see what's going on?"
Subotai swung his horsewhip and wanted to whip Urel, which affected the wound on his back, but the whip was too painful to be whipped.
"Urel, lead the way!"
Subotai lowered his arms and scolded him with a stern face.
Urel had no choice but to urge his horse forward, and the Mongolian knights followed him.
The knights still hadn't run very far. Dozens of them came from Bei Juechen. When they arrived, the knights reined in their horses and shouted.
"Subotai, the Great Khan has an order for you to lead your troops back to Liupanshan Camp as soon as possible!"
"An Chitai, why are you here? What happened to the Great Khan?"
Subotai reined in his horse, widened his eyes and asked loudly.
An Chitai is the adopted son of the Great Khan and has always been by his side. If he comes here at this time, does it mean that something happened to the Great Khan?
Subotai's heart immediately sank.
"Subutai, why do you only have so few troops?"
An Chitai looked at the remaining defeated generals around him in surprise. Many of the generals had failed. It seemed that the war was not going well.
"Don't mention it! The Emperor of Song Dynasty personally marched with an army of 100,000 people. There is no way he will be defeated!"
Subotai shook his head and replied in frustration.
At this point, at this point, there really is nothing to hide.
"The Emperor of Song Dynasty went on a personal expedition?"
An Chitai was shocked, then nodded and said:
"Subotai, the Great Khan is seriously ill, and Ogedai has returned to the army. You should hurry up. Don't delay!"
An Chitai's words made Subotai feel frightened.
It is said that Genghis Khan is seriously ill. Looking at this, I am afraid it is really not optimistic, otherwise he would not have asked him to return to the army.
"Subotai, withdraw your troops!"
The generals who had no fighting spirit began to plead.
They actually gave Subotai a step down. Who dares to disobey Genghis Khan’s military orders?
"Withdraw your troops."
Subotai reluctantly glanced in the direction of Lintao Mansion to the west and issued a military order angrily.
This time in the battle in Song Dynasty, I really lost my wife and troops, and suffered heavy losses.
With a population of 70 million in the Song Dynasty, if it was so warlike, perhaps the Song Dynasty would be a serious threat to the Mongolian Kingdom in the future.
Tali and Chaul looked at each other, both secretly thankful and relieved.
This military order came just in time. Otherwise, if you really go to Lintao Mansion, you still don’t know if you will come back alive?
