Chapter 207 Difficult mystery
Chapter 207: The mystery is difficult to solve
The sunset hangs on the top of the mountain, and weakly spreads the last glory to the earth, a picture of the setting sun shining on the evening scene.
The earth under the setting sun was covered with blood, not the color of the sunset, but the real color of blood, the color of blood. The splashing blood, broken limbs and arms, broken internal organs, crushed pieces of flesh and bones, and naked bodies in clothes and armor torn by shock waves. This is the result of nearly a day and night bombardment: except for a very few survivors, the Qiexue Corps, known as the General Reserve of the Mongolian Army, was almost wiped out.
Accompanied by Liao Shenggong, Zhao Liangchun and Zhu Ruixiang, Li Jun strode and walked on the battlefield after the war. Looking at the incomplete corpses on the ground, Zhensheng said a very powerful sentence, saying: "The Tartars are unjust, this is the end of their sins. Anyone who trashs me will be punished!"
A corpse burned for artillery fire was still emitting blue smoke, emitting a pungent and burnt smell, which made people disgusted. Zhu Ruixiang covered his mouth and couldn't help but retching. Liao Shenggong also frowned and said, "Master, this artillery fire is too fierce. It should be a little less bomb next time."
When he said that Zhu Ruixiang was in his heart, the two looked at Li Jun and hoped that Li Jun would agree. However, Li Jun disagreed and said, "This is nothing. Our firepower can be stronger, especially to Hulagu's Seme Legion, don't be polite, give him ten times the firepower!"
For Li Jun, who has experienced modern warfare, the firepower of the Song Dynasty artillery was not at all taken seriously. If you thought that this amount of firepower would be too much, what would you think if you knew that the Battle of Shangganling had exploded the ground three feet long?
Regarding Hulagu, what he did in Zhending area was too cruel. Liao Shenggong and the others always hated this matter and nodded, "Don't be polite to Hulagu's Seminary Legion, you will pay the blood debts and blood!"
"Order the troops and carry out the next stage of combat without stopping for a moment." Li Jun issued a new combat mission.
"How is the situation? Is the resistance still as strong?" asked Babur.
Bulu Mishu nodded and said, "Yes. The Southern Barbarians are really good at fighting now. If they had not said that they had such a small army, no matter how many troops saw our shadow, they would be scared to pee their pants. But now, our three guards and imperial guards could not shake the 50,000 troops in the Southern Dynasty. This change was a bit too big."
There must be a reason for an army to be defeated in war. To sum up these reasons, they are nothing more than several aspects. First, there are problems with the military system, poor command, and difficult to coordinate; second, the generals are incompetent, the generals do not know the soldiers, and they are blindly commanded; third, the equipment is poor, the training is not done properly, and it is difficult to meet the needs of war; fourth, the laws are not implemented, and the orders cannot be enforced, and the rewards and punishments are unclear.
These problems were not found in the Southern Song Dynasty before Li Jun came to this world, but were very serious, which was also the reason why the Song army suffered repeated defeats. Since Li Jun came to this world, he has undergone reforms and activated a large number of good generals with both moral integrity and talent, trained a large number of officers, studied new tactics, and implemented a new military system. Not to mention equipment, a large number of new equipment that the Southern Song Dynasty could use were created.
With these changes, if the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty does not change, if it does not get better and better, and the Song army cannot fight harder and stronger, it will be unreasonable.
Although the words "Brulu lost" are indignant, it is also a proof that the Mongolians decline from prosperity and the situation is becoming increasingly difficult.
Babur also deeply agreed with this change and said, "Yes, the Southern Dynasties changed a lot. We had two major defeats in Jiangnan and lost so many places. Now they have arrived in the Central Plains, and this life is even more sad. Fortunately, Yierhan came in time, and the court suddenly released 300,000 reinforcements, which was inevitable.
His words were very confident and confident, but his excitement did not continue, and his next words became: "Oh! We are so big! We got into a huge trap!"
Babur became too fast, so fast that he was lost and unprepared. He stared at Babur in surprise and asked, "I said General, what's wrong with you? He screamed and sighed again, and he was almost jumping. How could you be like a general like this?"
"You know what's the matter!" Bapur, who rarely speaks swears, blurted out, and only then did he realize that he was rude and quickly apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm lost."
Bulu Milu was scolded for no reason. He was about to ask for a clear answer, but he didn't expect that he would apologize and it was not easy to blame him. He looked at Bapur and refused to speak.
Babur understood his thoughts. Although he didn't say anything, he was asking why you scolded me. He explained to him: "We were fooled by Yierhan! He did not lead 300,000 troops to reinforce us. He was lying."
This was too unbelievable. Bulu Lulu Lulu opened his eyes and looked at Bapur with a look of looking at the monster. If he hadn't been too surprised, he would have blurted out. This cannot be blamed Bulu Lulu Lulu, but he can only blame Bapur for being too unbelievable, and he had to be surprised.
"This principle is very simple. If Yierkhan led an army of 300,000 to increase our efforts, would it be the 50,000 Southern Dynasties army that fought with us?" Babur explained to him.
Bulu was still lost and analyzed and said, "Maybe the Southern Dynasty adopted the strategy of surrounding the points and attacking aid. He went to concentrate the main force against Yierhan, so there were naturally fewer Southern Dynasty troops fighting with us. Yes, it must be like this."
Babur rejected it and said, "Think about it carefully, it is impossible to surround the points and attack aid. Is it not enough for the Three Guards to send the main force to surround us? If Yierkhan really led a 300,000 army to rescue us, in this case, it would not be surround the points and attack aid, but to send a part of the army to block it, delay Yierkhan and concentrate superior forces to surround us. When we encircle and annihilate, the Southern Dynasties will concentrate their forces to deal with Yierkhan. Whether it is a frontal blocking, it is a big pocket to surround him and divide him one by one, depending on the situation. And we only face 50,000 Southern Dynasties troops. What does this mean? Don't you understand?"
The Three Guards and Imperial Guards are the three guards of the Five Guards, which is the vast majority. This army, like the Qiexue Corps, is called the Mongolian General Reserve Team. Not to mention that the three guards appear at once, even one guard is enough to attract several times their Song army. The current situation is that their opponents have only 50,000 troops, which can only explain one problem, that is, the task of this Song army is to hold them back and prevent them from slipping out.
The answer was very clear. Babur's judgment was correct. Bulu Miluo slapped his forehead and said, "How is this possible? How is this possible? Yierhan's joke was too big." Reason had already told him the most correct answer, but emotions made it difficult for him to accept reality at once.
After pausing, Bulu asked, "What should we do? Withdraw back immediately, join General Shi and hold on. Although Yierhan did not lead so many troops to reinforce us, he would definitely not lead less troops when he came to the Central Plains. His army would definitely be constantly moving forward. As long as we stick to it, we will be saved."
The reaction of the Lulu was not slow. Hulagu came to the Central Plains, which was a victory for Kublai Khan. As soon as the news spread, it was enough to inspire people. His idea was indeed a very good method, and it was also a method that most people would adopt in this situation.
However, Babur is Babur, he is not one of the majority, he is one of the very few people. He has his own opinions. He rejected Bulu's lost opinion and said, "Your method is not bad, it is a very good idea. However, I, Babur, wouldn't have scared me to retreat to the 50,000 Southern Dynasties army."
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that the situation requires it." Bulu Lu is busy expressing his mentality.
Babur ignored his confession and continued, "Why don't we use it if there is a better way?"
"What method?" Bulu Lu Lu Lu was not lacking in trust in Bapur. He was very expectant and blurted out.
Baer said confidently: "Our mission is to act and restrain the attention of the Southern Dynasty. Now, we will change one word, change feint to activism, and start a real breakthrough."
"Accidentally, attack him without preparation, good idea!" Bulu lost and told Babul's intention, adding: "We can send a letter to General Shi and ask him to come from the heels and fight out with us."
According to the previous plan, Babul and the others pretended to act. Shi Tianze led his army to stay in the old camp to restrain the Southern Song Dynasty and create favorable conditions for Temuer's breakthrough. The situation has changed now. Temuer must have encountered the superior forces of the Song army, and it is almost impossible for them to retract. So change it, let Temuer and the others pretend to act and attract the Song army. It will be much easier for Babul and the others to break through. This idea is really very clever. If Shi Tianze led his army to follow from behind, the possibility of fighting out is extremely high, and Babul is worthy of being a rare general.
The suggestion of "lulu lost" is the icing on the cake. Babur's all-in-one reason is correct, and he nodded in approvingly.
Baibar waved the curled scimitar and shouted, "Retreat." He led the Mamulik army to retreat. Although he had 60,000 Mamulik army, Hulagu was still not something he could defeat. Although Hulagu had only less than 30,000 troops, under his command, all of them were high morale and bravely advanced, and soon the Mamulik army was unable to fight back.
To be fair, although the Mamuliuk army did not gain the upper hand at this time, they were a very excellent army after all, and had experienced many strong storms. If Baibar made up his mind to continue to fight, he could still hold on for a long time. However, Baibar did not intend to persist. It was exactly what Li Jun said that he would leave seeds for future restoration of the country. Although it is still unknown whether he could restore the country, after all, this is hope, and as long as there is hope, action must be taken.
Another point is that he only has this little army in his hand. If it is exhausted, he doesn't know what will happen in a foreign country. Maybe Li Jun will no longer treat him politely. He thought so, although he was a bit judging a gentleman with a villain's heart, he was a politician and everything had to start from practice. This may be a possibility, but it is better to make some preparations.
It was from this point that Baibar decided to retreat.
For Hulagu, killing Baibar can completely eliminate the troubles, and he can rest assured. Naturally, he will not let Baibar escape and immediately command the army to chase after him.
There is another advantage to chasing Baibar, that is, after a fierce attack, Baibar may be truly defeated. If that happens, driving Baibar's defeated soldiers will have a good advantage, which will disrupt the Song army's position. In this way, the problem of insufficient troops will be solved.
Unless the Song army desperately killed Baibar and the others together, if that were the case, the difficulty of the Song army would also increase a lot, because there were too many defeated soldiers and they would always send troops to deal with Baibar, and they would be under less pressure. This is Hulagu's wishful thinking.
"General, it's really a masterpiece." Bulu lost his thumb and praised Babur.
Facts proved that Babur's judgment was correct. His decision changed to real action, and the situation was different. The Three Guards' Imperial Army showed extraordinary strength and advanced a lot westward after a bloody battle.
"God-given opportunity!" Babur smiled slightly and reminded him, "Run quickly." He slapped his horse and rushed out.
Bulu Miluo slammed his horse and rushed forward, saying, "General, I guess, as long as we persist, we can break out of the siege. We have suffered a lot of losses, and the Southern Dynasties also suffered great losses. However, we are still worth it. As long as we fight a path of blood, hundreds of thousands of troops in the encirclement will have a way of survival. With this, no matter how much the price is, it is worth it."
"No," Babur agreed with his opinion very much and said it very briefly.
Bulu Mihu suddenly exclaimed in surprise and said, "General, look at what that is? That is the artillery of the Southern Dynasty. Why are there so many?"
Babul looked at the sound and saw countless shells suddenly appear in the air, dragging bright flames and drawing beautiful curves, intertwining into a beautiful net, flying towards the Three Guards. A shocking sound of explosions sounded, stirring up countless mud and dust. The shock wave not only tore the bodies of the Mongolian soldiers, but also tore their clothes to pieces. Many soldiers became naked in the blink of an eye.
"No, we're fooled." Babur clenched his fists and blurted out. Then he shook his head and said, "Impossible, impossible. What the emperor of the Southern Dynasty is doing? Is he seducing us or Temur? Or is Yierhan saying the truth?" At this moment, Babur, who was not very surprised, was really confused. He really couldn't figure out what Li Jun was doing.
Babur is smart and decisive, calm and composed, and has few problems. He is a rare good general. Even though he has these valuable qualities, under the current circumstances, he has also confused Li Jun.
If Li Jun takes action in the west, he would not have been able to send only 50,000 troops to intercept them. He would have sent more troops to concentrate superior forces to annihilate the enemy who broke through. Thinking of this does not require too high talent, but only normal military knowledge is enough. Li Jun is such a wise person, so he would never have imagined this.
However, if you say that Li Jun is not in the west, how could he deploy so many artillery, and more than 1,000 or 2,000 shells flew in one volley. To mobilize and assemble so many artillery, it will take a lot of effort. It can only be done after careful planning. It is impossible to do this in a hurry.
These two assumptions are contradictory and cannot be explained. The other situation is even more likely, that is, what Hulagu said is true. He really led 300,000 troops to the east. If this is the case, he made an unforgivable mistake. His changing of the combat plan would bring immeasurable losses to the Mongolian army.
He was pretending and had no intention of breaking out. Now, as soon as he changed his plan, Shi Tianze also told him, gave up the old camp and rushed from behind. The Mongolian army was not good at first, and if he lost the old camp, the situation would be even worse.
Thinking of this terrible consequence, Babur, who was extremely brave, also had a change of color on his face and was at a loss. He was also panicked and asked, "General, what should we do? Should we retreat or rush?"
Retreat has the benefits of retreat, and rushing has the advantages of rushing. After a little weighing, Babur gritted his teeth and said, "Run!" and slapped his horse and rushed out. Babur saw things clearly. He thought that in the current situation, the benefits of rushing are much greater than the benefits of rushing.
However, countless shells suppressed the Mongols' countless charges. After paying a huge price, Babul could not go beyond the line.
"This cannon was really fierce!" Xulagu stopped and stopped, looking at the shells that were passing through the sky, saying this. He said nothing. He didn't say that so many shells flew towards the Mongolian positions, of course, they were fiercely beaten.
Hutu and Huhu pulled back his horse and said, "Khan, let's rush up and pick up the friendly troops."
"Yes, Khan!" Luo Sike also agreed deeply and said, "Now is a good opportunity. We will rush forward, cooperate with the inside and outside, and we will surely be able to fight a path of blood."
Hutuhu and Luo Sike's opinions were immediately approved by the generals, and they said in unison: "Yes, Khan, hurry up and order."
Hulagu has always performed very decisively, but this time it is very different from his previous performance. He did not immediately give an order and said, "Let's take a look first."
The matter is obvious, do you still need to see it? The generals were very dissatisfied and said, "Khan!"
