early morning.
"Hoo ho ho"
Boyan, the commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty, his chest heaving violently, ordered the army to stop advancing, and he rode his horse to an open space.
Looking at the horse hoof prints disappearing out of thin air on the ground, he said in a deep voice:
"Send the order, everyone rest where they are, and patrol around on horseback."
"Light a bonfire and call for help from the camp."
Not long after, billowing smoke rose.
Boyan stood by the campfire and asked:
"Li Heng, you said before that the new commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty is a veteran? His name is Yu Wenshu?"
Li Heng nodded repeatedly and said flatteringly:
"Commander, no matter how powerful Yu Wenshu is, he can only use these conspiracies to delay time."
Boyan shook his head and murmured:
"I still can't understand how the Song cavalry managed to come and go like the wind?"
"Even the Great Yuan cavalry could hardly hold on after running all night, but the Song cavalry mysteriously disappeared again and again."
"Isn't this fighting method the tactics of our Yuan Ren cavalry?"
Boyan couldn't understand. Shouldn't this tactic of approaching the enemy without charging, using arrows to consume the enemy, and attacking in batches be the tactic of their Great Yuan Iron Cavalry?
At some point, the Song cavalry actually learned their tactics, and in turn suppressed their Great Yuan cavalry.
Suddenly, a deep sound of war drums sounded in the distance:
"Dong dong dong"
I saw Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang leading 20,000 Sui cavalry rushing from the front of the Yuan army's cavalry.
Behind the Yuan Army's cavalry, there was also a Ming Dynasty cavalry of more than 50,000 people attacking.
Seeing this scene, Boyan breathed a sigh of relief and calmly ordered the soldiers to mount their horses. Looking at the two Song cavalry, he murmured:
"Can't the Song people hold on anymore? After all, I am still more handsome and more skilled."
"You have worked so hard just to destroy my commander's 180,000 Dayuan cavalry."
"Now I want to see who can stop the frontal charge of the Dayuan Cavalry."
His words were filled with unparalleled confidence.
…
When the Yuan army's cavalry was assembled, Boyan did not order the army to charge. Instead, he rode forward and shouted:
"Yu Wenshu, I think you are a general. If you can surrender to the Yuan Dynasty, I will protect you for a lifetime of glory and wealth!"
Being able to use a mere 70,000 to 80,000 cavalry to fight with his hundreds of thousands of Great Yuan cavalry all night long was such a talent for commanding troops, even Boyan was a little excited.
Of course, what moved his heart was the 70,000 to 80,000 Song cavalry who were not weaker than the Great Yuan cavalry.
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, wearing armor, rode forward on his horse, looked at Boyan from a distance, clapped his hands, and said mockingly:
"Boyan boy, I will leave you a complete body."
On the side, Lai Huer pointed the bird gun in his hand at the sky.
"boom"
The next second, more than 200,000 Ming and Sui armies rushed in from all directions, formed a formation, and surrounded the entire battlefield from a distance.
When Boyan saw the dense army, he froze and murmured to himself:
"This is impossible!"
"How could the Song people have so many armies?"
Suddenly, Boyan stared at Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang who was slowly returning to the military formation, and ordered:
"order"
"The whole army charges"
"We must catch this Emperor of the Song Dynasty!"
Immediately, hundreds of thousands of cavalry, led by Boyan, rushed madly towards the 20,000 Sui cavalry of Emperor Sui Yang.
The rear of the Yuan army.
Seeing this scene, King Yan Zhu Di, who was entrusted with important tasks by Zhu Yuanzhang, waved his hand and ordered:
"Let these Yuan people taste the power of the Crouching Tiger Cannon."
A few seconds later, the soldiers brought out dozens of squatting tiger cannons and aimed the muzzles at the hundreds of thousands of Dayuan cavalry.
"Boom boom boom"
The deafening sound of artillery resounded through the sky, and they were caught off guard. The Yuan people's cavalry were thrown off their backs one after another by the explosion.
Looking around, there were corpses and pieces of flesh everywhere.
King Yan Zhu Di took this opportunity to lead more than 50,000 Ming cavalry to join the battle and attack the Yuan cavalry from the rear.
…
"Tap tap tap"
Hearing the movement from behind, Boyan turned his head, glanced at it, and ordered:
"The whole army speeds up. As long as we catch the Song emperor, we will win!"
In Boyan's opinion, the Song general must have discovered that his target was the Song emperor who claimed to be me, so he attacked him from behind.
…
For a time, three groups of cavalry from different dynasties launched a fierce pursuit on this vast plain.
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty relied on the physical strength of the Sui cavalry to far surpass the Dayuan cavalry, and always maintained a distant distance from Boyan's hundreds of thousands of Dayuan cavalry.
Boyan, the commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty, made a desperate move and stayed behind the Sui cavalry.
The King of Yan, Zhu Di, led the Ming cavalry to cooperate with the Ming and Sui armies to strangle the Yuan army's cavalry in batches.
From a distance, the Yuan Army's cavalry looked like a beast that was being targeted by a hunter and covered in arrows. It was still pursuing desperately regardless of its growing weakness.
…
More than an hour later, Emperor Sui Yang led the Sui cavalry to a slow stop, turned around, took off their helmets, and laughed.
"As expected of the Great Yuan Iron Cavalry, I haven't had such fun in a long time."
Behind the Sui cavalry was the Ming cavalry led by King Zhu Di of Yan.
Boyan looked around and realized that there were only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan of cavalry left beside him, and they were all exhausted.
On the battlefield in the distance, the fighting had stopped at this moment. The well-trained Ming and Sui armies were clearing the battlefield and burning all the Yuan people's corpses.
Boyan opened his mouth and asked in a hoarse voice:
"You guys...who are you?"
"Song people can't be so powerful!"
If the Song army was so powerful, it would be impossible for him to break through Lin'an and capture both the Song emperor and the queen mother back to the capital.
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty smiled contemptuously, raised his right hand high, and said lightly:
"Surrender, or die!"
In an instant, all the soldiers bent their bows and arrows, aiming at the Yuan Ren cavalry in front of them.
Boyan looked deeply into the distance, sighed, and said seriously:
"charge"
The already exhausted Dayuan cavalry, led by Boyan, launched a fierce charge.
"Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh"
Arrows fell from the sky like a violent storm, and Yuan Ren cavalry fell down one by one.
…
In the distance, seeing that the overall situation had been decided, the Young Emperor of Song Dynasty, Zhao Bing, flushed with excitement, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang as if looking at a ghost, and asked:
"Group leader, how did you do it?"
Just now, when Boyan was preoccupied with hunting down Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang, Zhu Yuanzhang took over the command of the Ming and Sui armies.
Taking charge of the overall situation, he commanded the hundreds of thousands of Ming and Sui armies as if they were one body, and strangled the Yuan people's cavalry in batches.
Zhao Bing was dazzled by the complicated flags and drum sounds.
Zhu Yuanzhang took out a sesame seed cake from his arms, took a big bite, and said nonchalantly:
"It's not a big deal. We are best at dealing with Yuan Ren cavalry."
Zhu Yuanzhang really felt that this battle was too easy. The Ming and Sui armies totaled 400,000 people, but the Yuan people's cavalry only counted 180,000 people.
Coupled with the fact that Boyan was obsessed with chasing Emperor Sui Yang, completely ignoring the safety of the people behind him, and calculating with his mind but not his heart, it would be difficult to lose this battle.
