The sky was overcast, the moon was obscured, and the cold wind was howling, biting to the bone.
And under such a situation, on the west bank of the North Yellow River, a battle involving nearly 100,000 soldiers from both sides was going on.
But the entire battlefield presented a strange state in the dim night.
In the wilderness a few miles outside the Anxi Protectorate, it is undoubtedly the core focus of the battlefield. The coaches of both sides, as well as the actual command posts of both sides, and the Chinese military camps are so far away from each other. One is leading the troops in a bloody battle, and the other is sitting in the watchtower. Go up and watch the battle with the help of firelight.
Originally, Han Shizhong's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, plus Fan cavalry, Fan soldiers, Xiang troops, etc., were almost 100,000 horses. However, compared with Kublai Khan's 100,000 cavalry, it was still far behind.
The combat effectiveness of the Meng Yuan cavalry is really nothing to say.
Of course, no matter how strong the Meng Yuan cavalry was, they were defeated by Xiao Di and Yue Shan when they led their troops together, and Temujin also surrendered.
Therefore, the truly strongest soldier is the Da Gan Forbidden Army.
This is also the benefit brought by science and technology after the development of Central Plains culture. Otherwise, why is it said that science and technology is the primary productive force?
The armor wearing rate of the Daqian Forbidden Army is very high. Almost all cavalry wear armor, followed by weapons.
The cavalry weapons of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty were relatively primitive and the quality was not very good.
There are skilled craftsmen here in Daqian, so the quality of the weapons is much better than that of the Meng Yuan cavalry.
The two sides slashed at each other with their sabers, and the Meng Yuan cavalry's saber broke after a few hits.
The arrival of Yue Hongling's Yulin Army became the key to reversing the situation on the battlefield.
To the south of the Anxi Protectorate, Yue Hongling's Yulin Army had almost 60,000 troops, and several deputy generals and governors rushed to the rescue under the leadership of Yue Hongling. In addition, large and small fires spread for more than ten miles, forming the most dynamic and chaotic place on the entire battlefield. It was also the brightest place after the Anxi Protectorate's capital.
This sudden change and the sudden appearance of large reinforcements caught Kublai Khan somewhat off guard.
Because Yue Hongling came too quickly.
It felt as if the opponent began to send troops on the third day of his siege. It also seemed that the opponent was waiting somewhere in the Anxi Protectorate.
But he failed to receive any news. Neither Xizuo from Daqian nor Beiyan had any news about Yue Hongling's dispatch of troops.
He wanted to attack in the east and in the west. After Meng Ge launched the first attack on the Anbei Protectorate, he immediately led his troops to sneak into Hengduan Mountain and marched quickly to the Xingqing Mansion.
Originally, they wanted to make a surprise attack and catch the Imperial Guards by surprise.
Who would have thought that he launched several sieges but failed to capture the capital.
The commanders on both sides also knew that this was the ultimate foundation of the battle and the place where murderous intent lay.
If Kublai Khan could not capture the Anxi Protectorate, Meng Yuan would not be able to break through and invade the Central Plains.
They had endured it for so many years and wanted to take revenge, but in the end they were blocked by the Imperial Guards.
Then all the previous efforts were in vain.
Han Shizhong also knew that if they could not defend the Anxi Protectorate and let Meng Yuan get this horse farm, it would be useless even if they defended Jincheng County, Yanzhou and other places.
With the pastures of Meng Yuan, there will be a steady stream of horse grass. With these horse grass, their cavalry will be able to fully move south.
At that time, Meng Yuan directly encircled the points for reinforcements, directly surrounded several important cities, and then used the flexibility of the cavalry to quickly disrupt the capital.
He, Han Shizhong, is the biggest sinner in Daqian.
Tonight's battle is a trap and bait.
Using the entire Longwu Army as bait, Kublai Khan sent troops to fight to the death, waiting for Yue Hongling's support.
The two sides joined forces to repel Kublai Khan.
However, even so, Kublai Khan still sat calmly on the watchtower, looking at the fire ahead.
Yue Hongling's arrival caught him off guard.
But that doesn't mean you have to think about retreating. If you don't fight and give it a try, how do you know you can't win?
Since it is a battle of revenge.
It must be a bloody battle to the end.
As of now, he only has 6,000 cavalry in his army.
It is also the real family background of Kublai Khan.
A Shu is the main general.
At this time, in Daming City, there were only a thousand infantry soldiers guarding the city.
The Tibetan soldiers must not be allowed to defend the city. Who can be sure that these Tibetan soldiers will not defect in the face of the battle or stab them in the back?
Han Shizhong directly brought all the Fan cavalry and soldiers with him.
There is not a single Tibetan soldier left in the city, only a thousand large Imperial Guards are stationed and maintained.
On the east city tower, there were only two or three torches around the high platform, and the faces of Wei Yuanzhong and Yu Yunwen could not be seen clearly.
The shouts of killing from the east were clearly audible, and the faint screams were the most unbearable, even more unbearable than the occasional clash of weapons.
Because no one knew whether behind the screams and collisions, whether the Forbidden Army was unscathed or whether it was a larger-scale damage.
"Wei Gong."
The one who broke the silence was Yu Yunwen, who had been watching the battle. He saw Wei Yuanzhong's worry and spoke.
"What?"
Wei Yuanzhong turned to look at Yu Yunwen.
This young man who was promoted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also a martial arts queen recommended by Prince Yong'an.
"We should win this battle," Yu Yunwen explained confidently. "Therefore, Duke Wei should think about how to deal with the wounded soldiers after the war, how to appease the people, and how to clean up the battlefield outside the city. The two days to the east have become battlefields. The crops must have been destroyed, but also We can’t let it sit there like this.”
Wei Yuanzhong frowned slightly and looked at Yu Yunwen, and he suddenly realized that the other party was reminding him not to be so worried.
However, can Daqian really defeat the Meng Yuan cavalry this time?
Just because of the arrival of General Yue?
Wei Yuanzhong didn't know anything about military affairs, and he couldn't see anything in the dark night.
Of course, even if it was daytime, even if he could see the entire battlefield clearly, he probably still wouldn't know who has the advantage and who is at a disadvantage.
Naturally, Yu Yunwen could see Wei Yuanzhong's confusion and disbelief, so he continued to explain: "Mr. Wei, General Han had his heart set on this battle. I don't know what gave General Han such power. His confidence allowed him to lead his troops out of the city to attack the Meng Yuan camp at this time and under such circumstances."
"Because on the battlefield, any decision or behavior may change the situation of the entire battlefield, and this change will play a key role in the victory or defeat of the war."
"I believe that General Han will not fight an unprepared battle, nor will he act recklessly."
"Looking at it now, General Yue's arrival explains everything."
Wei Yuanzhong was finally startled, and then looked up and down at this young man who was less than two or three steps away from him, as if he was meeting him for the first time.
"General Yue is here, can he win?"
After Wei Yuanzhong asked, he felt that he had asked a very stupid question.
It is impossible for a steady person like Han Shizhong to lead his troops out of the city to attack for no reason. General Yue is the daughter of the military god of Daqian. Back then, His Majesty took Yue Shan with him on the expedition and directly suppressed the four northern kingdoms.
After fighting outside the city of Xingqing Prefecture, they defeated Temujin and retreated to the capital of Harlem in the north. They defeated the gold thieves and abandoned their helmets and armor. They established Datong Pass in the south of Ulancha. They defeated Beiyan and retreated to Baoding Pass. to the north.
The Daqian Forbidden Army has always been strong!
Therefore, with Yue Hongling here, this battle should be won.
However, Yu Yunwen looked at the battlefield where Yue Hongling was located. The momentum there was very loud and had always been very loud.
He always felt that things were not that simple.
Just by fighting like this, the losses of the imperial army were too great.
Meng Yuan had just started to move south, and behind him there was Temujin, the leader of the country, who had not come yet.
If it was such a bloody battle, the losses of the Imperial Guards would be too great. How could they resist the rear troops of the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry in the future?
However, Yu Yunwen couldn't think of anything else.
Unexpectedly, apart from fighting like this, there is no other way for the Imperial Guards to win this battle.
Kublai Khan sent almost all his troops to the battlefield. He himself had been sitting on the watchtower, listening to the reports from the two scouts.
Soon, new problems emerged.
"Your Majesty, the enemy's offensive in the north is too fierce. However, the general said that if you give him a little more time, he can take Han Shizhong's head and present it to your Majesty!"
Kublai Khan said: "Tell your general to be careful and not to be reckless. There must be some conspiracy behind the opponent's tactics."
Another scout came forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, General Tachar sent a message, requesting...for support."
Yue Hongling and his men advanced fifty meters, with more than 60,000 men and horses, and had already lost about 40,000 men.
Compassion does not control soldiers, justice does not control wealth. You can say it lightly, but when you really make this decision, and on the battlefield, use this method to fight desperately, just for the sound of those eight artillery pieces. , which also made Yue Hongling's heart feel a little gloomy.
The Northern Expedition is just, the pacification of the Northern Barbarians is necessary, and the reunification of the country is great. No one can deny this, just like what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said in the latest issue of Di Bao.
Nowadays, no one can deny that Daqian and this era are jointly writing a grand chapter of their own... This somewhat convoluted and weird statement, when reading it for the first time, will inevitably make people suspect that it was written by His Royal Highness when he was drunk. thing.
How to write an article?
An era refers to a period, a period of time, so how can one write an article?
Still writing together?
However, if you read it carefully, you will find it has a unique charm.
It always makes people feel uncomfortable and unhappy. After reading it, my heart beats faster and I always want to roar and do something.
Back then, her father's unfinished business would be completed by her. Back then, Daqian had not managed to completely resolve the barbarian troubles in the North in one fell swoop, but now she will be the one to do it.
I, Yue Hongling, also want to write a grand chapter of my own.
