The Tatar bandit army showed his bandit face as it marched, and their infantry vanguard began to force some civilians along the way to walk in front of their brigade!

This is not to let the people go to landmines, but the usual method of Tatar bandits, they are not good at siege battles, and there are many fortresses and barbed wire fences in Shandong, so it is their old tradition to drive people to attack cities.

The people along the way regretted that they were originally relatively wealthy families, and they were glad that they had not been expelled from their homes because of abject poverty------- but they were even more miserable, and they were likely to die on the battlefield!

Countless facts have proven that people who rejoice that they are okay because evil only hurts others can end up worse!

Captain Zhang Depei and 3,000 men in green uniforms lay in ambush on the top of a hill, his eyes burning as he watched the suffering people, but did not act.

He was not ordered to harass them, but to stop them as they fled!

Boldly put the enemy deep and try to inflict heavy damage on them instead of tickling them!!

In the Tatar bandit army, the commander of the late army was Boyan.

He was a native of the Tatar Eight Neighbors.

As mentioned above, his great-ancestors were Shulu Getu and Zu Azhu who had made meritorious contributions to the battle from Genghis Khan, and were named the Eight Neighboring Zuo Qianhu and the judge of affairs.

This person grew up in Xicheng, to the early years of the Yuan Dynasty was envoyed to enter the court, by the big leader Kublai Khan appreciated, worship the left prime minister of the book, and later promoted to the Privy Council.

He rode a BMW in the army, not in a hurry, his face was calm, and he was full of confidence in victory.

However, he is deeply burdened with himself, and Da Yuan is in danger at this time!

In the south, the Song dogs took advantage of the fact that my Dayuan whip was not long, and there were pirates who had civil strife, invaded my Dali, and cut off my arm.

In the west, the Ilkhanate repeatedly sent travelers, urging our Dayuan to release their soldiers and horses, saying that the Mamluks over there had repeatedly harassed them, and that our Dayuan could only give him arquebuses, cannons and black powder to pacify the Ilkhanate.

And the Chagatai Khanate and the Golden Horde are now slightly uneasy.

He just brought clothes and quilts, and brought a team of personal soldiers to lead the brigade.

Before leaving, the big boss Kublai Khan personally came to see him off------ which is a great responsibility!

Previously, after receiving the order, he repeatedly studied the military intelligence of the Shandong region, and even learned a lot about the pirates' old nest, Liuqiu Island.

He talked with Hua Buli Hua Chang, had an in-depth understanding of the Liuqiu pirates' fighting style, and personally transferred Zhang Hongfan back from Huazhou City to listen to his various views, and entrusted him with important tasks.

In the end, he drew up a series of battle plans and reported them to the big boss Kublai Khan.

The big leader Kublai Khan was overjoyed after reading it, praised it again and again, and then issued orders one after another.

When the Song dogs occupied the Dali area, the big boss Kublai Khan rarely did not get angry, but stepped up the delivery of various materials to the Song dogs------ which is really wise, and this is not the time to take the Song dogs as enemies!

Commander Boyan's upper body swayed slightly with the rhythm of the BMW's walking, and he looked at the cavalry army with no end in sight, and his mood relaxed a little.

The deputy commander of this army was Namhan. The fourth son of the big boss Kublai Khan, the crown prince Zhenjin's maternal brother.

In that year, the big boss Kublai Khan cooperated with the Ilkhanate to extinguish the Ögedai Khanate early, and dealt a severe blow to the forces against the big leader Kublai Khan------.

This battle was so important that the fourth son, Namkhan, and a distinguished staff group composed of a number of nobles were called back to the war, including Totomur and Namkhan's cousin, Möngke's son Sirigi, and others.

The commander Boyan once wanted to give way to Namuhan, but was rejected by the big boss Kublai Khan, who said at the time: "My fourth son can only be a general, far less handsome than you!" ”

This kind of trust also touched Boyan a lot.

Namuhan and his staff team led the troops in front of the cavalry brigade, and the group felt arrogant.

They are not as glorious as their fathers, leading hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer the west and destroying thousands of cities!

However, now that the opportunity has finally come, after pacifying the Shandong region, it will definitely catch up with the Song dogs of the southern expedition!

Na Muhan thought, my Dayuan didn't provoke them, they dared to expel the king of Yunnan, Hu Gechi, and almost killed him!

This revenge will be avenged------

The route of the march of the Tatar army was simple, they advanced directly to the southwestern part of the Shandong region, avoiding the hilly terrain of the central part of the Shandong region.

Wherever their forward battalion came to the river, they began to set up platoons in preparation for the large army to cross the river.

Under the command of the commander-in-chief, the Tatar army was well prepared, and with little harassment along the way, it soon approached the fortified area of the Liuqiu pirates.

At this time, the commander Boyan ordered that he set up camp and put it on Tanma for 24 hours a day.

The deputy commander Namuhan personally asked why he didn't attack the pirates immediately, and the commander Boyan smiled and said, "Wait until our strange soldiers arrive."

Namuhan means slow river in Tatar language, and also refers to people who are honest.

But now it seems that he is still too young!

The deputy commander Na Muhan was really anxious, thinking that it was completely possible to let those Han dogs impact first, so as to see their strength.

After hearing this, the commander Boyan said, wait two more days, and attack at the appointed time------ this is already a planned arrangement.

Deputy Commander Namu rarely couldn't persuade him, so he had to leave with his staff team unhappy.

In his staff group, he valued Totomu the most.

Totomur saw that he was unhappy, so he said: "The Great Khan is old, and the commander sent is also old------- only the young eagle on the steppe will have a higher vision!" ”

Deputy Commander Namuhan sighed and didn't say anything.

He didn't notice that Totomur and Namuhan's cousin, Möngke's son, Cyriji, quietly looked at each other.

The strange soldiers mentioned by Commander Boyan meant that he ordered Zhang Hongfan to quietly climb over the hilly area in the central part of the Shandong region with 5,000 carefully selected men, and insert them directly into the rear of the pirate defense area, mainly to destroy their logistical baggage, supplemented by attacking their guards!

Who said that the Tatars would not use infantry? Who said they wouldn't use jungle tactics ?!

The big boss Kublai Khan used it when he was on an expedition to Dali!

In that year, Kublai Khan was ordered by Meng Ge to personally conquer Dali, and their three-way army crossed the Dadu River and Jinsha River through difficulties and dangers, as well as the buffer area formed by countless "barbarian" tribes, which appeared between Cangshan and Erhai.

but was stopped under the city of Yang Tho.

After nearly 500 years of operation by Nanzhao Dali State, Yangtho Baa City can be said to be impregnable.

Strategically, the Tatar army was not very sure of capturing the city.

Recalling the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang army attacked the city, but in the end it ended up being annihilated.

Therefore, although he had the advantage of troops coming to the city, Kublai Khan was not in a hurry to attack the city, he believed that if he could make an alliance with the city without blood, it would be the best policy.

So Kublai Khan sent three envoys, Yulushu, Wang Junhou, and Wang Jian, into the city and summoned the Duan clan of Dali to surrender. However, the Duan and Gao monarchs of Dali were quite confident, and they killed the Tatar envoys, ignoring Kublai Khan's surrender.

King Duan Xingzhi and Xiangguo Gao Taixiang led troops to battle and fought with the Tatar army under the city of Yangtho.

In the face of a strong city and high morale, it was indeed difficult to conquer the city for a while, and the losses were heavy.

Kublai Khan decided to send envoys to summon the monarchs and ministers of Dali to persuade them to surrender, but Dali categorically refused to surrender three times in a row.

At that time, Kublai Khan had a whim, he selected 5,000 warriors to form a jungle special combat force, detoured to the western slope of Cangshan Mountain, and crossed Cangshan Mountain from west to east.

Nine out of ten of these jungle special operations troops died on the top of Cangshan, but they finally completed their mission, and the more than 500 surviving people formed a strange army on Cangshan, with military flags unfurled and drums and trumpets sounding in unison, rushing straight down from the top of the mountain and breaking into the city.

The monarchs and ministers of Dali were forced by the momentum of "the sun came out of the west", abandoned the city and fled, retreated to Yaozhou, and explained well.

This military operation is the first time that external military forces have invaded the city of Yangtho since the unification of the Erhai region by Nanzhao, and the entire national defense system of Nanzhao Dali has been broken by Tatar iron cavalry!

Commander Boyan's tactical arrangements were the same as those of the great leader Kublai Khan, so it is no wonder that he was overjoyed.

But will history repeat itself?!

Zhang Hongfan led 5,000 vigorous soldiers and crossed the mountains and mountains in the hilly area with difficulty.

Captain Bowie they absolutely did not notice this direction------ as can be seen on their military map, for the northern mountains, they did not have even the slightest sign of defense.
