Chapter 577: One hundred thousand urgent

More than a dozen knights galloped from the southeast as if flying. These were Mongolian warriors dressed in leather robes, one man and two horses, and when you looked at the direction they came, you knew that they were sent by Kublai Khan's 30,000-strong army left in the daimyo's mansion. The first Mongolian knight still had blood stains on his leather robe and gauze on his head, which was the lucky Mongolian bald brother. It seems that his luck has not been exhausted, and he actually escaped with his life from the pursuit of thousands of Xuanjia troops.

After he ran back to his stronghold the night before, he did not dare to delay at all, and he did not care to let the horse lance rub his head slightly, and he opened a big hole, and shed a lot of blood. Just bandaged it indiscriminately, he took more than ten pegasus horses to report the news to the Daimyo's mansion, and then went to chase Kublai Khan's army non-stop, and ran for a day and a night before he met the camp of Kublai Khan's army in Anyang County on Zhangde Road.

Kublai Khan's golden-domed tent had just been erected on the edge of Zhangshui at this time, and most of the Mongol army would still be setting up tents, digging trenches, erecting fences, or waiting for their horses.

Now the horses in the Mongol army have become more and more delicate, and in the days when Kublai Khan moved the main force of the Mongols to the Central Plains, their horses are vulnerable and difficult to replenish. After each battle, the Mongols dwindled their horses. By now, even one man and two horses could not be maintained, and most of the Mongol soldiers had become mounted infantry, with only one man and one horse, and they were not war horses, just ordinary pack horses, and some even marched on mules.

As for the Mongolian cavalry who still had war horses, they all treated the war horses as their own fathers. In peacetime, the army is reluctant to ride, and when setting up camp, the horse must be settled first and then the people should be settled. So I saw the war horses under the crotch of Brother Bald and others who were already foaming at the mouth and had whip marks on their buttocks. All of them looked surprised.

What happened to him with such disregard for horsepower?

Brother Bald and the others saw the golden-domed tent on horseback. went straight to the past, until he was stopped by the cowardly Xue Xue who guarded it.

"Urgent military intelligence. 100,000 urgent, Tang has changed! Brother Bald shouted loudly, but he still kept an eye on it, and did not dare to directly say that the Tang State had betrayed the Great Mongolia and taken refuge in the Ming rebellion.

A young cowardly Xue Chang'an Tong walked out of the golden tent at this time and asked loudly: "The Great Khan is resting, who is making a noise?" What happened? ”

"Cowardly Xue Chang, more than a dozen horsemen came, saying that there was an emergency military situation."

"Let their heads come forward and speak."

"Urgent military intelligence!" The bald brother got off the horse and climbed up to An Tong with a rolling belt. Knelt down on one knee and lowered his voice: "One hundred thousand is urgent, Tang Guosheng has changed...... The night before yesterday, at least tens of thousands of Tang troops headed north, passing through Texas. And they also took the initiative to attack the cavalry led by the lower officer......"

"What?" An Tong was stunned for a moment, "You went to Texas?" What's going on? Didn't the Great Khan pass a decree not to allow him to enter the territory of the Tang Kingdom? ”

"Back to the cowardly Xue Chang, Xia Guan only entered the Tang Realm after chasing the enemy's meticulous work."

"Finesse?"

"That's right, and pretended to be a coward."

"Is that so?" An Tong frowned. "I'll talk about it later...... You first tell me in detail about how you met Tang Jun. ”

Brother Bald's eloquence is actually not bad, and he tells the story of how to chase carefully, how to meet the Tang army, and how to escape from the pursuit of the Tang army's cavalry. An Tong's face became more and more ugly - the costume of the Mongols. Will the soldiers of the Li family still not recognize it? When they meet, they kill people without saying anything, which has been fully explained...... The Li family has defected again, at least the Li family has taken refuge in Li Yanguo, the king of Zhao in Yidu, to the side of the Ming rebellion!

At least 80,000 elites plus the land of Qingxu all fell to Chen Dexing! Now the comparison of forces in the Central Plains War. As if it had been reversed. Chen Dexing had at least 1780,000 troops, and Li Yanguo had 80,000 troops. The sum of the two has exceeded 250,000! This number is already more than the 180,000 troops under Kublai Khan...... Besides, Li Yanguo can defect. What else is there to be polite about the generals under Li Pu's command who are not descendants of the Li family? I'm afraid that everyone is going to fall to Chen Dexing.

In addition, Huaixi Xia Gui, Xiangyang Gundam, Liu Quan, Zhang Jue, Lu Wende, etc. in Sichuan and Shu, can't they turn their backs on Song Touming?

Great Mongolia is going to be embattled overnight!

Thinking of this, An Tong couldn't hold his breath anymore, and as soon as he turned around, he ran towards the golden-domed tent, and shouted urgently as he ran: "Great Khan! Sweat...... Urgent military situation, Li Yanguo has taken refuge in the thief! Li Yanguo is reversed! ”

……

At this time, Lu Fei, the governor of the Daimyo Governor's Mansion, was flying and rushed to the watchtower erected on the tower of the Daimyo Castle. The sound of the whimpering military horn also came to mind in the Daimyo's mansion. The atmosphere that had been slightly relaxed because of the retreat of the main force of the Mongol army suddenly became extremely tense again.

More than a dozen generals of the Daimyo Governor's Mansion also heard the siren, and they all rushed to the city in neat clothes, and a few of them with higher status followed Wang Lufei to the watchtower. The generals who were not qualified to go upstairs looked at the snow and dust rising in the east and began to talk nonsense.

"What's going on? Why are there soldiers coming from the east? Look at this posture, I'm afraid there are 40,000 or 50,000 people! ”

"It should be the soldiers of the Li family, so I don't know who I am helping? If you help the abuse, the Daimyo Mansion will have to fight hard. ”

"Afraid of a bird! The city of the great name is strong, and the defenders also have tens of thousands, and Kublai Khan did not dare to attack it the day before yesterday, let alone Li Yanguo? In my opinion, Li Yanguo must have been co-opted by the king and the princess and brought troops to join us! ”

"It's good if that's the case, there will always be 80,000 people in the two divisions, and the 30,000 people left by the Mongols outside the city can't help us fight!"

"Not only 80,000, but also 20,000 people from the Four Banners Horse Team in the north! They're all steel-armored and hard-bowed, real elites! ”

"100,000 to 30,000, it's a win! Now it's time to fight a good fight! ”

"You can't make such wishful thinking...... Kublai Khan's army will return at any moment! At that time, it will be 100,000 to 180,000! ”

"That's not afraid, as long as you can entangle Kublai Khan's main force, the king will soon bring a large army over, and then it will be the end of the Mongols!"

At this time, Wang Lufei had already gone up to the watchtower, raised the telescope and began to look at the end of the horizon in the distance.

In the telescope, about a thousand knights of the Tang Army pulled out a long and sparse line and slowly advanced. These knights were all dressed in the same simple steel armor as the Ming army, and they were armed with two horse lances. The Mongols also sent out cavalry, roaring and galloping left and right in front of these Tang knights, but did not dare to approach and fire arrows. Because behind these more than 1,000 Tang Army knights, there are also archers from the brigade. With the horses in front and the bows and arrows behind, both charging and shooting were enough to restrain the Mongols' rangers.

Under the cover of the knights and archers of the Tang Army, the black and suppressed brigade of the Tang Army, from east to west, slowly drove forward.

The brigade marched and formed a phalanx array. The composition of the phalanx is similar to that of the Ming army, mainly seven or eight columns of pikemen, supplemented by a small number of sword and shield hands, and there are three columns of archers behind the phalanx. In front of the battle, all kinds of flags fluttered, covering the sky and the sun, which seemed to make the sky dim in an instant!

And in the middle of these flags in front of the Tang military formation, there is a Ming Sun and Moon King Flag! These Sun and Moon King flags are all in the middle without exception, and they are raised by the longest flagpole!

Between these infantry arrays, there were militia auxiliaries, driving carts with horses and horses, and on the carts were either large bags of grain, or crossbows with three-bow beds and bundles of heavenly thunder arrows, and there were no tools that could be used to make meritorious contributions.

And on the left and right of this brigade of infantry, there are light cavalry covering the two wings, all of which are covered with steel armor in red battle jackets, and the battle flags are also red or red with black edges - this is the red flag and red flag in the Eight Banners of the Ming Army!

The Eight Banners of the Ming Dynasty actually acted with the Tang Army Brigade! This can only show one problem, this Tang army is on the side of the Ming Dynasty!

And in the middle of these marching infantry brigades, there is also a horse team of about several hundred, and among the horse teams, the flag of "Princess Li of the Ming Dynasty" is fluttering high......

"Princess?" Wang Lufei exclaimed, put down the binoculars, rubbed his eyes, raised the binoculars and looked again, "It's really Princess Li ...... of the Ming Dynasty."

A general of the Ming army beside him said loudly: "It must be the king who sent the princess to win over the king of Zhao of the Tang Kingdom...... Now the princess is coming with the army of the Tang Kingdom! Governor, we've won! ”

……

"Great Khan, Great Khan! Things have not yet reached the point where they cannot be done, even if the 40,000 or 50,000 troops of the Tang State and the enemies of the daimyo join forces, it will only be 89,000, plus the surrounding cavalry, it will not exceed 100,000. Great Khan, as long as the whole army presses over, there is no reason why we can't fight! ”

"Great Khan, the key now is not in Hebei, but in Hedong! If Hedong loses, Guanzhong and Henan will be advanced, and our 200,000 troops will not be able to return to the grassland! ”

"Great Khan, now that Chen Dexing must have supervised the army into Hedong, we should immediately go from Jingcheng Pass to Yue Taihang to take Taiyuan ......"

"It's too late, from Jingcheng Pass to Jin, and then to Taiyuan, it will take at least ten days on the way. Chen Dexing will definitely be ahead of us. For the sake of today's plan, you should make a desperate bet to take Yanjing! ”

In Kublai Khan's golden-domed tent, at this time, everything you said and I said had become a pot of porridge. The Mongolian generals and important ministers were all gathered together, giving ideas to Kublai Khan, who was frowning.

Kublai Khan's expression was very calm, and his eyes swept over everyone's faces over and over again, and finally stopped at Liu Xiaoyuan, who was speechless.

"Liu Xiaoyuan!" Kublai Khan shouted the names of his confidants.

Liu Xiaoyuan stood up, clasped his fists at Kublai Khan, and said in a heavy tone: "Great Khan...... Something is at stake! Now the best strategy is to go, the middle strategy is to fight the daimyo, and the next strategy is to fight Yanjing...... Hedong, don't go! (To be continued......)
