Chapter 464: Three Kingdoms Kill Four Gravediggers

The morning light once again sprinkled on the battlefield in front of Taiyuan City.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which could not be dispersed for a long time.

On the battlefield, there are traces left after the bloody battle, corpses are piled up, and blood is everywhere. Especially in the military village, several places where the fighting was most tragic, the soldiers on both sides, the corpses were piled up into hills!

Nearly half of the tens of thousands of generals of the "Gongchang Wanggu Division" who were at the forefront were lost in yesterday's bloody battle, four generals at the level of 1,000 households were killed in battle, and more than half of the middle- and lower-level backbones of 100 households and 100 households were lost.

As for the genuine Mongolian soldiers of Ba Tulu's generals, they also lost one or two in a day and night. Although these Mongols claimed to be the Tianjiao of the thirteenth century, the invincible soldiers who swept the world, they were not much stronger than the Wang army in yesterday's bloody battle. Even in terms of the will to fight in melee hand-to-hand combat, it is not as good as the people of the Wang family!

Actually, it's better to be normal. Because in the past thirty years of the Mongol-Song War, it was the Mongol and Han armies that rushed to the front, and the Southern Song Army of the Blood Sea and Daoshan were desperate! The one who can stand out in the Thirty Years' War is not the elite of the Hundred Battles? In the history that Baturu did not know, the men and horses of the Wang family of Gongchang also defeated Ali Buge's army, making it impossible to enter Shaanxi.

As for the two Han armies of Yongqing Shijia and Shuntian Zhangjia, they have been charging for the Great Mongols since the Mengjin War. Shi Tianze and Zhang Rou, the two old men, have followed Baturu's grandfather Mu Huali, and to this day, they have been on the battlefield for more than 40 years! They can't fight, who else can?

It's a pity that such a powerful traitor army is either following Li Pu to rebel or defecting to Chen Dexing, or has no will to fight, and only knows how to eat mixed rice. There is probably no one like the "Wanggu Division" army who is willing to fight.

There are not enough traitors and cannon fodder, and the genuine Mongols suddenly feel a lot of pressure! Although they also held out for a day and a night under the strict orders of Baturu. But that's fighting with Mongolia's own flesh and blood! In one day and one night, more than 7,000 Mongolian warriors were killed and wounded. What heart is like a knife, and his heart is like a knife, it can't describe his mood at this time.

On face though. He still had to hold on and pretend that he didn't care. Kublai Khan told him to keep it for three days, and now it is barely a day has passed, and there are still two days! I hope that Li Pu and Shi Tianze will suffer the same heavy casualties, so that they can slow down the offensive a little!

Also, Immortal Heaven hurry up and bless the Mongols! Don't let anything happen to Xue Chan Khan's side again!

While praying silently in his heart, there was a sudden rush of drums and a deafening shout from the battlefield.

"Long live Datang! Long live Datang! Long live Datang......"

……

Under the heavy protection of the cowardly Xue soldiers, Xue Chan Khan Kublai Khan climbed a high slope. Holding a telescope, he looked straight to the front line of Liujiazhai a few miles away.

The former enemy of Liujiazhai is still a situation of confrontation. Guo Kan's Silver Armor Brigade stood still. Behind them, there were thousands of Han people who had worked all night and had built a curved earthen wall, which was quite thick, but not very high, only to the chest of a person. Such an earthen wall can neither stop the horse, nor can it stop the bow and arrow, I really don't know what is the use of repairing it?

Inside Liujiazhai. Smoke has risen and you don't know what's boiling? I guess it's a refugee who has fled north preparing a morning meal, right?

On the top of the dilapidated houses on the edge of the stockade, you can vaguely see many Ding Zhuang with bows and arrows on their backs. All of them are tall and ambitious. It should be the Han people. Ding Zhuang, a Han man in the north, is accustomed to seeing life and death, and if he doesn't have a little martial arts in his hands, let alone being bullied by the Mongols and Semu people. Even the Han people's own heroism is not a good stubble.

The turmoil in the Han land in the past few decades has not only tempered several strong Han Hou troops. Even the people of the north have been sharpened - in history, the Central Plains and Huaidi men launched a great uprising to overthrow the Mengyuan Empire under the organization of the Ming Sect and the White Lotus Sect decades after the death of the Song Dynasty! At that time, the sons and daughters of the Han family were even able to defeat the invincible Mongolian iron cavalry on the Jinlianchuan grassland. slaughtered the capital of the Great Yuan Kingdom, Kaiping......

This myth that the Han peasants were invincible to the nomadic steppe was not so much written by the powerful barbarian regimes of the Mongols, Jurchens, and Khitans, but rather the consequences of the rulers of the Han dynasty deliberately weakening the civil force for the sake of thousands of years. However, the Mongol rulers did not weaken the martial arts of the Han people with the imperial examination of Wenzhi like the Jurchens and later the Manchus, and as a result, the military force of the Han people was revived under Mongol rule!

The powerful military strength of the Han Marquis in the north was based on the rise in force of the Han people in the north after they got rid of the shackles of the imperial examination and cultural rule. In the original history, the Han Marquis was suppressed by Kublai Khan after the defeat of Li Pu's army, and lost the strength to threaten Mongol rule.

However, this was only a policy that treated the symptoms rather than the root cause, and the system of determining social status and wealth distribution by force rather than articles always existed in the Mongol dynasty, and eventually developed the civil armed forces, becoming the gravediggers of the Great Mongolian State.

And now, due to the emergence of Chen Dexing, the Han army, cultivated by the policy of the Mongols, has been put to use in advance!

Kublai Khan sat on horseback, looking at the scene in the distance fixedly, I don't know how long it took, he suddenly sighed, as if he was talking to himself: "Today's difficulty, the fault is not me, but the first Khan of the past dynasties did not use the words of Confucianism!" ”

The Mongol generals who came with Kublai Khan were confused when they heard this, and a few of them wanted to say something, but they were stopped by Kublai Khan with a wave of his hand.

"You don't understand, don't say anything, now it's only war!" Kublai Khan glanced back at the generals, "Which of you is going to test it?" ”

"A certain family is willing to go!" Brother Tou replied loudly.

The five heads of households who followed Kublai Khan this time were Xue Chang'an Tong, the 10,000th head of the left wing, Ta Chaer, the 10,000th head of the right wing, the 30,000 head of the right wing Hu Lian (Meng Ge's son-in-law), and the 40,000 head of the left wing Kulu (Genghis Khan's grandson). Among them, An Tong is in name, and the cowardly Xue army is personally commanded by Kublai Khan, of course, there is no reason to let the boss rush first. Tachar will not come out either, his Ulus is gone, and his heart is on fire! As for Ku Lian and Ku Lu, they only became the heads of tens of thousands of households because of their noble status and their closeness to Kublai Khan, and more than half of their 10,000 people were host soldiers, so it was not possible to fight tough battles. So the only one who can go up is Brother Tou's 10,000-strong team.

"Just test the real and the false," Kublai Khan whispered. "You don't need to work hard, we can't just take out the blood of Mongolia and consume it."

Kublai Khan personally led tens of thousands of troops to attack this time, not so much to defeat Chen Dexing, but to see with his own eyes how the Northern Ming army fought. In order to find out the weaknesses of the Northern Ming army and defeat them in the future.

As for whether the tens of thousands of Han people in front of him are going to be killed, he doesn't care. Anyway, when these Han people arrived in Yanyun, Chen Dexing had to find a way to raise food to feed them!

As long as he managed to miss the farming time in Yanyun and Liaodong, Chen Dexing would continue to be trapped in food, at least according to Kublai Khan. And Li Pu should be relatively easy to deal with, as long as Li Pu is destroyed, the northern land will be Yuan and Ming to fight, after all, Meng Yuan has a deep foundation, and it is completely possible to exhaust Chen Ming's vitality with a protracted war!

In this way, in the world, at least the northern land is still the Great Mongolia! Kublai Khan secretly made up his mind in his heart that when this chaos was put to peace, Dayuan must learn from Dajin and Da Song, be noble and light on martial arts, and let the Han people read the Four Books and Five Classics, and no longer fight and kill all day long...... Even if you don't destroy the Great Song Dynasty in the south, it will be successful.

If the Han people have sharpened their strength, then Mongolia is a dish!

Just when Kublai Khan had found the only way to rule the Han land for a long time and truly promote national integration. His favorite general, Ba Tulu, was pale and watched the Tang Dynasty soldiers in front of the wall they were holding on to a thick military formation, their armor shining in the sun, spears pointing to the sky like a forest, and the red Yulin military flag fluttering high in the north wind.

In front of the array, more than a dozen three-bow bed crossbows were erected, and they were firing heavenly thunder arrows round after round, which was a little bit of a pressure on the Mongolian army.

In fact, there were also many three-bow bed crossbows and heavenly thunder arrows in the Mongol army, but this weapon did not seem to have much effect on the moving infantry phalanx. On the one hand, it was difficult for the three-bow bed crossbow to adjust its range, and if it did not hit the Tang infantry phalanx, the heavenly thunder arrows would fly behind them.

On the other hand, the head of the Heavenly Thunder Arrow has a "warhead" filled with H medicine, which makes its penetration ability poor, and the "warhead" often remains in the human body after concentrating the target, causing the lead to be extinguished by human blood and unable to explode. Therefore, the casualties caused by the Yuan army's heavenly thunder arrows to the Tang army's infantry were quite limited.

In addition, the three-bow bed crossbow can only be used in front of the battle because it is a direct-fire weapon. Therefore, after several rounds of charging and breaking through by the Tang army, most of the three-bow bed crossbows of the Yuan army were destroyed and lost.

And because the Tang Army's Heavenly Thunder Arrow is a bombardment of fixed targets, most of them can explode on the positions of the Yuan Army. Although the power of the thunder arrows is not very great these days, the endless bombardment is still quite demoralizing the defenders.

At this time, the three-bow bed crossbow of the Don army suddenly stopped firing, which meant that another wave of attacks of their infantry was about to start again!

Baturu exhaled heavily on the edge of the wall, turned around and ordered with a blue face: "Dispatch people and horses, prepare to fill the gap, and don't let the traitors of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty take away the wall!" We will stay here until the end of the three-day period! ”

Seeing that his subordinates had to be ordered to go, Baturu sighed again, as if he was talking to himself: "The mother who joined the mother said that Li Pu couldn't fight, how could he be so powerful now?" (To be continued......)
