Chapter 39 Lin'an Relief (Part 2)
As the commander of the Yuan army, Boyan was the best goal in both tactical and strategic terms. Killing Boyan has always been Xu Guanghan's goal. He wanted to talk to him several times, but he had too many guards and could not succeed, so he had to give up. When formulating a combat plan, Liao Shenggong wanted to send Xu Guanghan to talk to Boyan again. Li Jun vetoed it on the spot, saying that the cross cannons were just in handy and asked Boyan to taste the power of the cannons.
Li Jun's proposal was immediately supported by Wen Tianxiang and others, and the matter was finalized. For this operation, Huang Yongshan fixed the cannon on the cannon stand overnight. Since the withdrawal device was not built, he had to settle for the second best. Using a rigid device, although the firing rate was greatly reduced, it could still be used. As long as it was used well, there should be no problem in doing Boyan.
When Li Jun thought of the scene of killing Boyan with ten cannons, he couldn't help but get excited, and his voice became much louder. The excitement was contagious, and his joy immediately infected Liao Shenggong, Wen Tianxiang, Zhao Qian, and the others standing beside him, as well as those gunners.
The gunners stuffed the shells into the barrel and ignited the fuse. A ball of flame flashed by, and the shells flew straight towards Boyan with a wonderful parabola. The first round of shells did not hit Boyan, and fell near him and exploded.
If these cannons were samples in the present term, they would not pass the inspection at all. There are many problems, and the accuracy is not accurate. Li Jun understood it very much and encouraged the gunners and said, "It's not bad, it's not bad. Come again, come again."
The gunners loaded the shells and ignited the fuse again, and the shells flew towards Boyan again.
The first round of shells exploded beside him, and Alahan urgently reminded Boyan: "Prime Minister, this place is dangerous, please leave quickly. Leave it here to me."
Boyan was born with courage and did not take danger seriously. He once opposed the public and took risks from the flood, refusing to say, "No, I can't leave." As soon as he finished speaking, a shell was aimed at him and flew over. Alahan was shocked and yelled: "Prime Minister, be careful!" He pounced on him, pounced on Boyan to the ground, and pressed him with his body.
Alahan's actions reminded the personal soldiers. The loyal personal soldiers rushed up together, pressed the two of them under them, and stacked a tall arhat. Three consecutive shells fell on the pile of people, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Li Jun saw it from a distance, thinking that it would be much easier to fight this battle without Bo Yan, a headache. He shouted with excitement: "I hit it, I hit it." Liao Shenggong and Wen Tianxiang were also very excited, with joy on their faces.
The last time, so many zha medicine bags did not blow Boyan to death, it was because his personal soldiers used their bodies to serve him as a meat shield. Li Jun was very worried and said, "Don't stop, shoot again, hit all the shells, and don't leave a single shot."
The gunner got the order and threw hundreds of shells in one go, and many of them fell on the crowd and exploded. Li Jun smiled and said, "Now, Boyan can't escape."
Wen Tianxiang and Liao Shenggong also nodded violently and said, "Without Boyan, the Tartars would have no command, and they could be wiped out in the chaos."
"Yes. Why is Zhao Liangchun not yet?" Li Jun said anxiously: "This opportunity is really rare. If you miss it, there will be no more. If he doesn't come again, it will be a big problem." Without Boyan, taking advantage of the chaos of the Yuan army, there will be no problem in defeating the Yuan army with its existing forces. If you cannot completely wipe out the battle, the results will be much smaller. Li Jun cannot be anxious.
"Yes." Wen Tianxiang agreed deeply and said, "Why is this Zhao Liangchun not yet? Nothing will happen, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a clear and loud voice came from behind the Mongolian camp, shaking the earth and making people's ears buzz. This sound was so familiar to Li Jun. He had heard countless times on the Korean battlefield. He didn't have to think that it was the sound of the charge. He said happily: "He's here, he's here in time."
"Yes." Wen Tianxiang nodded in agreement.
Liao Shenggong's comment was: "General Zhao is really extraordinary, the timing is so accurate. We just killed Boyan and he arrived."
"Otherwise, will he still call General Zhao?" Li Jun said with approval.
Immediately afterwards, a sound of thunder came. Li Jun looked closely and saw a smooth water line in the distance that was coming towards the Mongolian camp. Wherever the water line went, snowflakes were flying, and a beautiful scene. Not to mention that Li Jun was in a very comfortable mood at this time, everything was so beautiful in his eyes. The snowflakes splashed by more than 100,000 troops were very beautiful and spectacular. It can be said to be a wonder and amazing. For Li Jun at this time, it was icing on the cake, and it was more joyful.
Wen Tianxiang was in a good mood, and commented in the tone of a poet: "Thousands of troops fly snow, the wonders of the world are amazing!"
Liao Shenggong commented from the perspective of a military strategist: "From the snowflakes, you can tell that the formation is neat. This is a well-trained elite army. As soon as they pressed up, they became a force of Mount Tai to crush the eggs, and the collapse of the Tartars was only in front of them."
Zhao Liangchun is also a good general, and he will never miss the opportunity, saying: "General Huang Han, you lead the infantry to break through the center. General Tengchong, you lead 10,000 cavalry to detour from the left wing, and I lead 10,000 cavalry to encircle from the right wing."
The Yuan army's defeat was achieved, and the failure was a foregone conclusion, but hundreds of thousands of troops retreated, and the number of defeated soldiers was unimaginable. If it could not be annihilated as many as possible, once it was collected and reorganized the combat formation, the Mongols' bravery would be a terrible army. Zhao Liangchun knew this well and decided to use cavalry to encircle it, pull it into a large net, block the Yuan army, and then cooperate with the Lin'an army to divide it and annihilate it.
"Get orders." Huang Han and Tengchong took the order to act.
Huang Han was not tall, but extremely strong, as if he was extremely energetic. When he stood there, he felt like he was a mountain that could not be shaken. The message he emitted was that Mount Tai was pressing towards him, and he could also stop him. He pulled out his sword and raised it on his head, and shouted: "Brothers, this is Lin'an. The emperor is right in front of us. He used the steel knife in our hands to kill all the Tartars, and used the Tartars' head as a tribute to the emperor. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Song Dynasty!"
He was not big, but his voice was quite loud, as if he was beating a heavy drum. The soldiers could hear his words clearly, and they had aroused fighting spirit for his words. The blood began to boil, and the light like a beast was shot in their eyes.
Huang Han turned around, pointed at Lin'an with a knife, and shouted: "Kill!" He walked in his head and led the infantry to press the back of the Yuan army. This infantry general, who had a fierce fighting style and was known for his good fighting tough battles, then he moved towards his military glory.
Huang Han was a genius infantry commander. As soon as Zhao Liangchun arrived in Guangzhou, he found Zhao Liangchun and recommended himself, willing to take on the important task of training infantry. Zhao Liangchun knew that he was extraordinary when he saw him because his temperament was different from others, and his whole body exuded a fierce aura. It also made people feel that he was an extremely smart person. Zhao Liangchun had a deep conversation with him and was greatly impressed. After discussing with Chen Yizhong, he appointed him as the chief instructor of the infantry (note: It seems that he should be called the coach in the Song Dynasty.) to train infantry.
Everyone in the infantry he trained has the spirit of bravery and dared to fight tough battles. His formation was stable and heavy and unshakable. Zhao Liangchun sighed and said with extreme slight comments: His army is not flesh and blood, but nails. Wherever he goes, he cannot be shaken. Even the cavalry of the Tatars should not impulse his formation. Even Wu Mu is resurrected, that is the case.
There were few horses in the Song Dynasty, and there were not many cavalrymen, mainly infantrymen. However, the infantry in the Song Dynasty was very poor and could not stop the cavalry at all. Of course, except for the Yue family army led by Yue Fei. Zhao Liangchun compared him with Yue Fei and said that his infantry could block the Mongolian cavalry. From this, we can imagine how high this person's military talent was.
Zhao Liangchun's comments were not Zhang Daqi's words. The infantry led by Huang Han pressed towards the back of the Yuan army. The boundless murderous aura filled the air, like an invisible Mount Tai, which made the Yuan army feel palpitations.
As soon as the Yuan army and Huang Han's infantry came into contact, the close combat slashing and slashing in the road was not the patent of the Yuan army. The Song army could do better than them. The skillful chopping and slashing actions made them unable to use their always-professional scimitar skills, and those who were not killed would be injured. The infantry under Huang Han's leadership looked like a giant axe, quickly dividing the Yuan army into two, which did not echo each other.
Huang Han was a genius military commander. He knew that the Yuan army had been surrounded and the possibility of escaping was not very high. At present, the most important thing was to divide the Yuan army and divide the Yuan army into small pieces that were not connected with each other, so that they could break them one by one and annihilate them. The infantry under his command seemed like chisels, chiseling the Yuan army into small pieces bit by bit.
The entire army was in a state of great struggle, and Zhao Qian could only stand beside Li Jun and watch the fun. He couldn't help but feel itchy. He asked Li Jun for battle and said, "Your Majesty, let's go. Your Majesty, if you let others eat meat, you have to give us some soup. The brothers are so hungry."
"Okay, Zhao Qian, use others as a shield, just tell me if you want to play." Li Jun looked at Zhao Qian and said with a smile.
Zhao Qian felt a little embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty. Your Majesty, you know, you still let others stand and watch the show, deliberately torture your ministers."
Seeing Zhao Liangchun's unhappy appearance of robbing me of others, Li Jun really wanted to laugh, waved his hand, and said, "Go. You must be ruthless, be fierce, and be tough, just find hard knots to chew."
"After the order, thank you, the emperor." Zhao Qianxing happily led the Xuanjia cavalry into the battle.
The Mongolian army was able to roam the Eurasian continent, not by the favor of the goddess of luck, but by the real sword and gun. Although failure is inevitable, it is still unconfused and calmly responds to the battle. Many people gathered together to fight the trapped beasts. Li Jun has worked hard on the Mongolian army and knows very well that even if Zhao Qian did not ask for the battle, he would also play the last trump card in his hand and remove the Yuan army that fought the trapped beasts.
Zhao Qian's military talent was also extraordinary, so he naturally understood Li Jun's intentions and focused on those hard bones that were stubborn and fought. The Xuan-armored cavalry rushed in like a wind, and the sword in his hand emitted a heart-pounding cold light, drawing beautiful and smooth curves. The soldiers of the Yuan army fell to the ground one after another, either without a head or incomplete limbs, or were chopped into two.
The Xuanjia Cavalry is the most experienced soldier in the Song army. After choosing, they are selected. They are extremely well-equipped, strictly trained, and have strong combat effectiveness. Li Jun commented that it is just like the eight hundred heroes commanded by the famous Huo Qubing. Wherever they pass, they must be a scene of minced meat and flesh flying everywhere.
After one place was solved, Zhao Qian commanded the Xuanjia cavalry to rush into the next place immediately. One place was cleaned up one place after another, and in a short while, the stubborn enemies were cleaned up.
Xu Guanghan is an excellent special forces commander. He is very capable of grasping fighter jets and maximizing the combat effectiveness. Once the arson mission is completed, the special forces immediately transform from protectors into death-seeking ghosts. Ten people are in groups, and three groups are in a large group. They act in dispersed and specialize in finding the bad luck of the Yuan army commander, assassinating centurions, commanders of thousands, commanders of ten thousand men, and even generals like Alahan. They are skilled in assassination and enter and exit the Yuan army camp many times, and are familiar with the situation of the Yuan army. This way, I don’t know how many Yuan army officers died at the hands of the special forces.
The special forces created chaos, the Xuan Armored Cavalry was responsible for clearing hard bones, and Huang Han's infantry was responsible for dividing the Yuan army. The Yuan army was divided into clusters in the east and into the west, and they could not support each other, and the entire army was wiped out.
If Boyan's army was wiped out under Lin'an City, it would be a great victory. Even the battles commanded by Yue Fei could not be compared with them. They would become a myth in the history of the Song Dynasty. Wen Tianxiang nodded and said in tears: "I can't believe it, it's too hard to believe it."
For Wen Tianxiang, this change came so fast that it was hard to believe. When the Yuan army first arrived at Gaoting Mountain, Wen Tianxiang had no choice but to go to the Yuan army camp to seek peace. Looking back on how unacceptable the situation was at that time, the court was in chaos, and Xie Daoqing "kindly" paid the ministers (in modern terms, severance payments). The demise of the Southern Song Dynasty was just a matter of care. It was Li Jun who received the order to reverse the crisis and defend Lin'an that he had today's great victory.
Boyan led more than 500,000 troops to Lin'an City. If the entire army was destroyed, it would be the only great victory in the history of the Song Dynasty. Even if Yue Fei won the Zhuxian Town victory, the great victory in Yancheng could not be compared with it. Looking back on all this, it seemed like a different world, and Wen Tianxiang would not be excited.
Li Jun couldn't believe it either. When he first realized that he had become Kublai Khan's opponent, he felt that he was so big. Kublai Khan was not easy to mess with. He was praised by all means and praised him for his eternal reasons. The consequences were really not great. Unexpectedly, after his own efforts, he not only defended Lin'an, but also achieved an unprecedented victory. Such a large-scale victory was unique in the history of the Song Dynasty. I was really moved.
The personal soldiers moved the snow and mud and sand away from the body, and finally revealed Alahan. The two personal soldiers hurriedly pulled the general up, and saw that he was hit by several shrapnel on his back, and there was also a shrapnel on his thigh, and blood flowed out, so he hurriedly bandaged him.
Boyan pressed Alahan under his body, and his personal soldiers hurriedly helped him up. He could hardly believe that the person in front of him was the lively Boyan who had just been stained with blood. Boyan was covered in blood and had no idea how many shrapnel he had been hit. What shocked them the most was that there was only a little flesh and a bracelet connected to his left arm. It was unnecessary to think about it that Boyan's left arm was deterred, and blood poured out from the wound like water.
A personal soldier shouted anxiously: "Prime Minister, Prime Minister."
Boyan opened his eyes with difficulty and glared at his personal soldiers fiercely. The personal soldiers were so scared that they trembled and did not dare to scream again. As the saying goes, the power of the tiger is there. Although Boyan was injured, his majesty still existed. How dare he call him again? Boyan was forced to do so. If the news of his serious injury spread, the Yuan army, which was already difficult to support, would inevitably have a weak morale and would be destroyed in an instant.
At Boyan's instructions, his personal soldiers helped him up. Boyan struggled to look at the situation and said, "Quickly, organize a retreat." The defeat in front of him has been completed. Under the command of Liao Shenggong, the Song army concentrated its superior forces to annihilate the divided enemy, and was powerless to turn the world back. Not to mention that even if Boyan raised Genghis Khan underground, he could not reverse the defeat. Retreatment was the wisest choice.
As soon as Boyan finished speaking, he tilted his head and fainted. Boyan was known for being tough and gave Li Jun a fierce blow. The injury was something he had never experienced before. Even if he was ten times tough, he couldn't stand it.
A personal soldier was anxious to call out "Prime Minister", kicked Alahan and cursed: "What's the name? The Prime Minister is not dead yet, why are you crying? I'm afraid that the soldiers wouldn't know that something happened to the Prime Minister?" He glared at the personal soldier who was unhappy when he saw the opportunity, pointed to a personal soldier with a figure similar to that of Boyan and said: "Put on the Prime Minister's armor and gather the soldiers with me."
If news of Boyan's life and death spread, it would be like a collapse of the Yuan army at this time. If there was a fake, the Yuan army in the chaos would be difficult to distinguish, and it would have a role in stabilizing the morale of the army.
The personal soldiers took the order, put on Boyan's armor, rode Boyan's war horses, and went to collect the Yuan army with Alahan.
At this time, the Yuan army had been divided into countless pieces, but because the total strength of the Song army was not superior, they could not gather all the annihilation, and they could only concentrate their superior forces to annihilate them one by one. Otherwise, the battle might have ended.
Even so, in a while, as more and more Yuan troops were annihilated, Liao Shenggong could use more and more mobile troops, and he could invest more troops to annihilate the Yuan army. Therefore, there was not much time left for Alahan.
Alahan was a famous general who could stand alone and understand that the situation was urgent. He explained: "Take good care of the Prime Minister." He immediately led his personal soldiers to rush towards the nearest Yuan army. Boyan's personal soldiers were elite soldiers with great combat power. He rushed into the formation and joined the group of Yuan army. Alahan immediately led them to the next place, and in a short while, he gathered a lot of them.
What is terrible on the battlefield is not the victorious army, but the army that survives from death. It is precisely based on this "The Art of War" that "it is to be killed and live, and then survives when it is killed and Han Xin has classic battle examples of arraying behind the scenes.
The appearance of Alahan gave the Yuan army the critical avenue and aroused their will to survive. The Yuan army kept moving closer to them, like a rolling snowball, which was getting bigger and bigger. In a short while, tens of thousands of people gathered.
