Chapter 211: A complete victory

"Order the army to evacuate the first bunker and leave only a small number of people to guard the first bunker." Guo Kan wrote on the paper. Although Guo Kan was not used by Li Jun, he had to admire his talent. As soon as he arrived at the southern line, he ordered the Mongolian army to dig up bunkers to fight against the artillery of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Needless to say, bunkers are a good way to deal with artillery, even in modern warfare. Friends who are familiar with military affairs must know that if there is no bunker, I don’t know how many people will be buried under the fire. It is the use of hot weapons that has enabled bunkers to develop greatly.

Guo Kan understood very well that the Mongolian army did not have as many artillery as the Southern Song Dynasty. Moreover, the performance of artillery was not as superior as the Southern Song Dynasty, nor was it as elite artillery trained by artillery hammers like the Southern Song Dynasty. Using Mongolia's existing artillery to compete with the Southern Song Dynasty artillery can only touch stones with eggs. Therefore, he has been studying how to deal with the artillery of the Southern Song Dynasty. After many failures, he finally got inspiration from his crushing defeat in Jiangnan. At that time, Li Jun dug countless trenches to curb his cavalry. Now, he has also decided to learn from Li Jun and ordered so many bunkers to be dug.

The Mongolian army surrounded the siege not only dug countless bunkers, but also deployed it to Guo Kan as a deep ladder defense. It has to be admitted that Guo Kan is very creative in military terms, and such deployment is similar to modern warfare.

"Sir, why is this?" Hahaer asked in confusion: "Sir, if the Southern Dynasty took advantage of our opportunity to evacuate the bunker, wouldn't we suffer a big loss?"

His words came to the generals. The generals nodded and agreed, "Yes, sir, you must not retreat."

"The attack of the Southern Dynasty must have started with artillery attacks, and retreating was to reduce the loss of artillery attacks." Guo Kan wrote on paper. He meant that by evacuating people from the first defensive line first, in that case, the artillery attacks of the Southern Song Dynasty would not exert much power and his losses would be reduced. This practice is similar to modern wars, like World War II, where artillery was used extensively. Many battles were to evacuate the army from the artillery area before the enemy was ready for artillery attacks, and when the artillery attacks were about to end, the army would return to the position. This retreat and advance would reduce a lot of losses. Of course, this must be based on accurate intelligence.

For the party conducting the artillery, it is most important to accurately grasp the opponent's actions and give the most effective killing. For example, in the Battle of the Odd River, Zhukov obtained the time for the Germans to launch an attack through intelligence, and carried out devastating artillery fire strikes when the Germans entered the starting position, causing heavy losses to the Germans. The intelligence of this battle was still problematic, because the Soviet army's artillery was two hours earlier, and if it was two hours later, the Germans' losses would be even heavier.

Since the Southern Song Dynasty had artillery, Li Jun spared no effort to develop artillery, which is one of the reasons why the Southern Song Dynasty had so many artillery. Guo Kan had to admit that the Southern Song Dynasty used artillery very well. Before each war, he always mobilized enough artillery for saturated firepower preparation, making the Mongolian army unable to fight back. The Southern Song Dynasty used a large number of artillery to curb the Mongol cavalry, which was also one of the reasons why the Mongols suffered repeated defeats in recent years.

The generals had a consensus on the power of the Southern Song artillery. If they could avoid attacking the Southern Song artillery, it would be a good thing, and the generals naturally had no objection. However, if the information was not accurate, the Southern Song Dynasty took advantage of the withdrawal of the Mongolian army and the Southern Song Dynasty launched an attack, and it would be possible to take down the Mongolian defense line without any effort.

The generals were not without concerns, and Salarin asked, "Sir, what if the Southern Song Dynasty did not launch artillery attacks and attacked directly?"

"We must disguise it." Guo Kan wrote on paper. He meant that the army should be disguised before retreating to consume ammunition from the Southern Song Dynasty.

The generals felt like they could see the blue sky by pushing away the dark clouds. They all claimed to be good and said, "A clever plan, a clever plan."

Hahaer asked: "Sir, when will the Southern Dynasty launch an attack?" Accurately grasping the attack time of the Southern Song Dynasty was very important for the Mongols.

"It's only in the past or two days." Guo Kan wrote on the paper: "The reason why the Southern Dynasty was slow to take action was to use us as bait to catch Yierhan. I guess Yierhan is coming soon, so the Southern Dynasty's attack is imminent."

Guo Kan is Guo Kan. It is very accurate to make such a judgment from the signs of the Southern Song Dynasty. It is really not easy. Once he understood Du Dayong's intention, he did not stay idle. Instead, he seized this rare opportunity, made final preparations, dug more trenches, and readjusted the deployment of the army. It can be said that in just a few days, the Mongolian army was more difficult to deal with than before.

"Then we should act immediately." Haha'er said confidently: "As long as we delay the Southern Dynasties and prevent them from distributing troops to deal with Yierhan, when Yierhan arrives, we will cooperate inside and outside to enforce the entire Southern Dynasties' army."

This is exactly what the generals think, all of whom are more confident and say, "It's true!"

After a series of explosions, the entire city turned into a sea of ​​fire. With the rumbling sound, several large holes were blown up by the cannons. The Song army rushed in like a tide, and boundless killing sounds resounded throughout the sky. The Mongolian army could not resist the Song army's tide offensive.

A Shu and Zhang Hongfan, two favorite ministers of Kublai Khan, had seen the Mongolian army under Kublai Khan's rule, once flourished, with the troops facing each other. However, since Li Jun came to this world, everything has changed. The Mongolian army has been defeated again and again, and it was uncontrollable. The generals are still the generals before, but the grand occasion is gone, and the glory has become a thing of the past. The current Mongolian army is really sad compared to their ancestors' strong and brave spirit. Their performance in the face of the Song army's attack is no different from the Song army that was about to collapse at the same time, and they are only concerned about escaping.

In the memory of A Shu and Zhang Hongfan, this kind of thing was the patent of the Song army. Now all this has changed and become unacceptable. The Song army, which was defeated repeatedly in the past, is now extremely powerful and brave, and the Mongolian army, which was once invincible, is now as timid as a mouse.

The two looked at each other and sighed to the sky: "Heaven!Heaven!Heaven, can the heaven tell us why? Why can't Genghis Khan's descendants create the glory of Genghis Khan?"

Genghis Khan's success, of course, was recognized by people at that time as the most likely person to seize the "Deer Cauldron" because of his genius spirit. Many people surrendered to him, making Mongolia in the Genghis Khan era a very strange birth. On the one hand, his bloody and atrocities made many people around him dislike and oppose it. However, these people were loyal to him, giving him advice and living a life and death for him. For example, Guo Kan's grandfather Guo Baoyu, who was both civil and military, proposed a strategic plan for Genghis Khan to "take the southwest first, then manage the Central Plains". This plan was implemented very well. The Mongols destroyed the Western Xia first and then took the Central Plains.

There is also Yelu Chucai, although this man was a Khitan, he was influenced by Han culture for a long time. He was more kind than those Mongolians. There were many people rescued from the Mongols' butcher knives.

The most unexpected thing is that Changchun Zhenren Qiu Chuji also traveled thousands of miles to the Western Regions at the invitation of Genghis Khan and spent several months with Genghis Khan. Later generations repeatedly forced this matter to meet, saying that Genghis Khan was trying to seek immortality, but in fact it was a misunderstanding. Changchun Zhenren has very high talent, and he may not be good at marching and fighting, but when it comes to governing the country and piracy of the people, if it were not the best in the world, it would be very different. The Song and Jin countries have conscripts many times, but they were not born. Only Genghis Khan invited him many times before he traveled west. The reason is nothing more than that Genghis Khan was a genius of a generation and was likely to "snatch the deer cauldron". He gave Genghis Khan some strategies to clean up the people's hearts and implemented them well.

Of course, another reason is that Genghis Khan is still in a very good era. The Jin Dynasty was in which he lived, had declined, and "the war of wars was no longer there"; the Western Xia Dynasty was weakening, and the Southern Song Dynasty became even more stupid. That's it, his war of conquests also went through several ups and downs, and he narrowly won many times. The most dangerous one was two times, one was to attack the Jin Dynasty and fight at Yehuling. At that time, the Jin Dynasty invested 450,000 troops, and he only had 100,000 troops. The whole situation was very unfavorable to him, and he was likely to be wiped out. However, he won and was very beautiful.

The reason is that the first is the stupidity of the commander of the Jin army. He did not use these troops well. An army of 150,000 people fled the battlefield during the war between the two armies. Another reason is Genghis Khan's outstanding military talent. He knew that his army could not defeat the 450,000 army. He concentrated all his troops to attack the Jin army's central army and defeated the Jin army in one fell swoop, covering the hills of the Yehu Ridge with the corpses of 300,000 Jin army.

Another good fortune came when he was in the Western Expedition to Khwarezm. Genghis Khan's destruction of Khwarezm was a miracle in human history. His strength was much weaker than that of him, but he won. It was mainly because the Khware march Sultan Mahamo at that time was too stupid and formulated a strategy that was so wrong that he had developed. He rejected Wang Zhuzalanding's strategic idea of ​​concentrating superior forces and fighting against him while Genghis Khan was not yet stable, and he implemented division of troops to defend the city and scattered the army in various cities. As a result, Genghis Khan calmly divided the army into several routes for a large-scale sweep and defeated them one by one.

To be fair, Mahamo was very smart. He was very similar to the famous emperor of Tang Minghuang in Chinese history, first and then dark. When he succeeded to the throne, he worked hard to govern and conquered many countries, making Khwarezm prosperous for a while. However, his performance in front of Genghis Khan was surprising. What was surprising was not his heroic posture, but his timidity and arrogant arrogance.

He formulated a stupid strategy, that is, no matter how many troops there were, Genghis Khan, it was normal to lose the battle. He did not adjust his deployment, but "the warriors are gone", and he knew to escape, until he died on the way to escape. Before he died, he did a good thing, which was to help Jalandin as the Sultan. Unfortunately, it was too late, and Jalandin was also exhausted, and Khwarezm was destroyed in the end.

Genghis Khan, who destroyed Khwarezm, had greatly increased his strength. The corrupt countries such as Western Xia, Jin and Song dynasties were no match for them. From then on, Genghis Khan's army went invincible wherever they went.

That's it, the Southern Song Dynasty fought with it for decades without dying. A very important reason is that although the Southern Song Dynasty court was incompetent and weak, China was powerful and not so easy to conquer. After Li Jun came to this world, he went through reforms and eliminated the accumulated problems, so that the potential of the Southern Song Dynasty could be realized.

The ancient Chinese country, which has been accumulated for thousands of years of civilization, is already strong. If there is a wise ruler like Li Jun, let alone Kublai Khan, even if he is Genghis Khan underground, he would not dare to confront him. He would not have thought of this truth, but he would not have done anything to do with him.

Just when the two were helpless, a voice sounded: "Two generals, are you okay?"

A Shu and Zhang Hongfan looked closely and saw that the person coming was not someone else, but the Taoist Yangfeng who was returning. At this time, Taoist Yangfeng was more energetic than before, and was not like a humble monk who retreated at all, but rather like a spirited general. At this time, A Shu and Zhang Hongfan were heartbroken. After hearing Taoist Yangfeng's words, they felt as uncomfortable as a steel needle stabbing their hearts. Zhang Hongfan said angrily: "Where is an unlucky bird coming out?"

"Tell me, what's wrong with you?" A Shu asked directly in anger.

Taoist Yang Feng gave a slight salute to maintain a good cultivation of a monk and said, "Dao, who is ordered by his family teacher, comes to guide the two generals a way out."

A Shu said coldly: "Life and death are destined, everything is determined by heaven, so there is no need to worry about the Taoist priest. Please ask the Taoist priest for your behalf."

In this case, it would be nice if A Shu didn't curse, and it would be even nicer if he could speak to this level. Master Yangfeng had to praise his self-control and said, "Good courage! Two generals, can you listen to my advice and submit to the court? As long as you no longer harm the people, the court will deal with it leniently."

"You are in a good mood. You used to give us guidance, but now you are here to give us guidance." Zhang Hongfan sneered and said, "What if we don't surrender?"

"General Zhang, you are also a Han Chinese. Surrendering to the court is the path you should have taken long ago. Why should you be obsessed with it?" Taoist Yang Feng advised him kindly.

Zhang Hongfan looked sarcastic and said, "No need. If the general cannot defeat and cannot destroy the enemy country, I have already insulted my ancestors. If I surrender to the Southern Dynasty again, I will be unfaithful and unrighteous."

"General, please think twice." Taoist Yangfeng still persuaded him.

Zhang Hongfan drew out the scimitar and said, "Come on."

"Since that's the case, then you're welcome." Taoist Yangfeng drew out his sword, his body was like a floating wind, and rushed towards Zhang Hongfan. Just as Taoist Yangfeng drew his sword, several of his fellow junior brothers also rushed forward with their swords and took A Shu and Zhang Hongfan directly.

"Oh, I said General Du, what are you doing? We obviously have so many artillery, why not use it?" Gundam was very unhappy and kept spitting out, blowing his white beard and fluttering, saying, "The emperor gave us artillery to deal with the Tartars. If not, it would be a decoration? Those silver would be too worthwhile. General Du, do you know that the emperor was very worried about making money. If you don't need it, it's just a shame to the emperor."

Li Jun jokingly called Gao Da an old naughty boy, which was really a witty word. His words were so funny. Zhang Shijie burst out laughing, patted his shoulder, and said, "General Gao, look at you, you are still so anxious until you are old. Don't complain all the time. Isn't it enough to hear General Du finish his words?"

After patting his forehead, Gundam felt a little embarrassed and said, "I, Gundam, have the temper in my life, I'm anxious. General Du doesn't need artillery, so I'll be anxious with him." At this point, I couldn't help it and laughed.

"General Gao, you also know that Guo Kan has dug a lot of bunkers to avoid the bombardment of our artillery. Although bunkers can certainly reduce the power of artillery damage, if we learn from the Eastern Front encirclement and annihilation battle, and carry out uninterrupted bombing, the Tartars will still bomb us cleanly. The difference is that we only spend more shells." Zhang Shijie explained to Gundam and asked: "If General Gao was Guo Kan, what would you do?"

Gundam thought for a while and said, "If you know the time of the court's attack, you can withdraw the troops in the bunker and hide, and wait for the shelling to come back." Gundam is worthy of being a famous general, hitting the mark.

"Miaomiao and Miao." Du Dayong and Zhang Shijie stroked their hands and said it was wonderful.

Gundam then asked: "The problem is that Guo Kan doesn't know when we will attack. The retreat time is too early to late, it must be just right."

"This is not a difficult situation. Our attack time is obvious." Du Dayong explained, "This is not unknown to Guo Kan, a traitor."

He slapped his forehead and raised his thumb, saying, "General Du's plan is great! Guo Kan, the dog traitor, must also know that the time when Hulawu is coming is the time for us to launch the general attack. He will inevitably evacuate the army from the first protective line, and we will make a big fuss with his psychology. He thought we would make enough firepower preparations, so we did the opposite, but broke the rules and did not prepare firepower, and directly sent the army to attack. When Guo Kan, the dog traitor, understood, his first defense had fallen into our hands. By then, should we bomb with artillery, or whether we should fight with cavalry and infantry in concert, it depends on the situation."
