Chapter 103: The Divine Soldiers Fall in the Sky

"Old man, drink some water and rest for a while before working." A peasant woman in her fifties came to the field with a food basket and said to the man who was working hard.

The man was over fifty or sixty years old. He raised his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Damn it, it's still so early, you'll bring food, it's better."

"Isn't they afraid that you will be hungry?" The peasant woman was slightly angry and busy serving him a meal.

The man reacted and said hurriedly: "With a family and a family, only if you have a wife is considered a family. Life is good if you have a wife. When the time comes, you can have food and drink hot water."

"See what you said, it seems that they are taking care of you now, but they have not taken care of you before?" The peasant woman said as she handed a sweat towel to the man and said, "Wipe the sweat."

The man happily took it, wiped the sweat from his face, and just took the bowl handed over by the peasant woman after wiping his face. Suddenly, a sound of thunder came from the sound of a muffled thunder. The couple were very surprised and said in unison: "Listen, what's the sound?"

The sound became louder and clearer, and it started to be like a muffled thunder, but later it was extremely loud, with iron armor clanging and earth-shaking, as if the thunder sounded in his ears, deafening. The peasant and woman lived in the countryside all her life. She had never heard such a powerful voice. Her face turned pale involuntarily. The rice bowl in the farmer fell to the ground and smashed it to pieces. A bowl of white rice was sprinkled everywhere. She looked at each other and said in unison: "No, run away quickly."

Although they didn't know what sound it was, they only knew that it was scary from the bottom of their hearts and had to escape.

The couple fled to the back of a mountain to hide, looking at the roadside with courage, and saw smoke and dust rolling. The weight of smoke and dust seemed to be sweeping a huge broom, covering the sky and the sun. After exhausting their eyes, they saw a group of people galloping towards them. The riders on the horse were tall men, one by one, and they were like iron towers, and they rode on the horse as if they were moving.

What the couple couldn't understand most was that these people were riding a horse, leading two horses, carrying things on their backs. For the couple at this time, what they wanted to understand most was where the people were. Unfortunately, the people did not have flags, obviously the army was not wearing armor, and only plainclothes, and they didn't know which side of the people were.

This army is the cavalry unit led by Jie Jin. It requires a marching force of more than 1,000 or 2,000 miles to be carried out. On such a long journey, if you try your best to save your physical strength, you will naturally not wear armor and wear plainclothes. Take off the armor, put it on the horse's back, and carry it forward by the horse, which can save a lot of physical strength.

The cavalry of Jie Jin came and went in a hurry, as if a rush swept across the field and disappeared in an instant, leaving only the smoke and dust in the sky.

After a long time, the peasant woman confirmed that Jie Jin and the others had really left, she dared to stand up with courage, look at the direction where Jie Jin and the others disappeared, and asked in unison: "Where are they going?"

"Report!" The spy came with a long voice, turned over and dismounted, and came to Jiang Xin.

Jiang Xin frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Did you find the Tartars again? They are surrounding us again?"

"Sir, wise." The spy had to admire Jiang Xin's foresight from the bottom of his heart and said, "I found that the Tartars had about 15,000 people surrounded us from the front and left and right sides."

Jiang Xin was really cowardly. Since entering the northern part of Huangzhou, he had not lived a stable life for a day. The nose of the Mongolian army seemed to be more flexible than a dog's nose. He could always find him and encircle him, block him, and chase him so that he didn't even have time to sleep and eat. If it weren't for the guerrillas developed by Zhang Shijie in the area who had arranged for him to help him, it would be certain that he had gone into the pockets of the Mongolian army many times.

The most dangerous time, he actually collided with 20,000 Mongolian troops head-on. Jiang Xin was so angry that he chased him. He didn't do it, but he simply ordered to rush into the 20,000 Mongolian troops to kill for a while. This was an encounter, and the Mongolian army did not expect him to appear here. He was not prepared at all. He rushed for him and immediately became in chaos. Jiang Xin seized the opportunity to attack, but instead gained the upper hand and fought a big victory.

Although the battle was won, Jiang Xin stabbed the hornet's nest. A Song army came to the north of Huangzhou. News of eyeing Huangzhou spread wildly. All nearby Mongolian troops were dispatched to surround him. Huangzhou and Qizhou were rich places and one of the bases for the Mongolian army to advance towards Lin'an. It was very important for the Boyan army. He sent heavy troops to garrison. This was a great deal. No less than 50,000 troops were searching in a small place north of Huangzhou.

Jiang Xin had only 10,000 people. Faced with 50,000 Mongolian troops, he naturally had no advantage in military strength and had difficulty in winning. He could only take a roundabout way to avoid it and find opportunities to deal with the Mongolian army severely in the movement. Jiang Xin had been through war and had rich combat experience. After training, his command ability improved greatly and handled it very correctly. He really found an opportunity to kill three or four thousand Mongolian troops in the movement.

As a result, the Mongolian army was no longer dispersed, but gathered to chase him. Jiang Xin had much less chance of starting a move, and he could only go around with the Mongolians all day long. He didn't know how many times he had to receive reports from the Mongolian army to him in a day. When he heard the spy's tone, he knew what was going on and revealed the mystery in one sentence.

"Damn it, I'll have to come in with great fanfare. This is not good, so I'll be discovered by the Tartars. I've become a rabbit now and chased by the hunting dogs all day long. I'm so happy now." Jiang Xin complained and said, "Concentrate, retreat, and go back to Huaixi."

There were Mongolian troops in front and left and right wings, which were difficult to evacuate, so he had to retreat backwards. His treatment could not be said to be wrong. However, as if God was going to fight him to the end, as soon as he finished speaking, a spy rushed over and said, "Report, there were about 10,000 Tartars behind him."

There were Mongolian troops in all directions. Needless to say, he made dumplings for him. Jiang Xin’s depression was beyond the description of his heart. He really wanted to throw a national scolding at Zhang Shijie to calm down his mind, estimate the situation, and said, “Retreat here and hurry up to the mountains.” There was a hilly area to the west. He wanted to use the hilly area to deal with the Mongolians and find the right opportunity to retreat. After an order was reached, ten thousand Song troops retreated to the hilly area.

Jiang Xin's plan was good, but the Mongolians' reaction was not slow. As soon as he arrived at the hilly area, the Mongolian army appeared in sight and rushed from all directions, surrounding the hilly area was blocked.

Looking at the Mongolian army that was rushing like waves, Jiang Xin was so angry that he was itchy. Even if Zhang Shijie wanted him to enter the north of Huangzhou, he had to give him freedom and let him stop. Without knowing anyone, he could win several big victories. The order Zhang Shijie gave him was to make a big fuss, and he had to show off the flag wherever he went. If he violated it, he would be punished by military law. Although Jiang Xin was unwilling, he had to obey it, so he had to reach this point today, and he would not be able to not feel depressed.

Jiang Xin roughly estimated that there were about 25,000 Mongolian troops, and reinforcements would definitely come later. The troops would reach 40,000 to 50,000, and he only had 10,000 people. No matter what, don’t break out. Jiang Xin shouted: “All divisions are careful, prepare for battle, fight me hard and make a gap.” He added a sentence in his heart: “That is impossible. Unless a miracle happens!”

Qizhou in the Song Dynasty was now Qichun County in Hubei Province. Qizhou is very famous in history. It has been the seat of Prefecture and County Road for more than 1,400 years. It is the largest political, economic and cultural center in eastern Hubei and has been highly valued by dynasties in history.

Qizhou has a strong and talented person, and the famous Li Shizhen's hometown is Qizhou. Wu Chengen's famous book "Journey to the West" was also written here.

Qizhou is at the end of the Dabie Mountains, and it is located on the waterfront. It is really surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is because of its strategic position and is highly valued by military strategists. It is this unique geographical location that has made Qizhou prosper over a thousand routes.

Boyan's army began to march towards Lin'an from Xiangyang, followed the Yangtze River and headed straight for Lin'an. Then, they occupied the rich Qizhou and another equally rich Huangzhou. Using this as a base, they established a supply base for supplying the front line, which benefited Boyan a lot.

Qizhou is close to the Yangtze River and is an important place on the Yangtze River. Due to the tight war in Sichuan, the Southern Song Navy concentrated most of its troops to Sichuan and did not have time to capture this area. Therefore, the vast and prosperous area centered on Qizhou and Huangzhou is still under the control of the Mongols.

As the most prosperous city in eastern Hubei, with many shops and dense populations, Boyan captured Qizhou. He planned to build Qizhou into his base, but did not slaughter it. Therefore, the lives of the people here are relatively better than those in other places, and there are still people coming and going, and there are endless hawking sounds.

Taking over the land of Qihuang and regaining this money bag was one of the strategic policies formulated by Li Jun this time. He should have taken action against him long ago, but he had never had a chance. Now, this opportunity has come, and it is the cavalry unit of Jie Jin that is carrying out this task.

Today is destined to be an important day for the Song Dynasty. The farthest large-scale long-distance raid in the history of the Song Dynasty will be staged. The people of Qizhou will witness the magnificence of the Song Dynasty's armed forces with their own eyes, and will witness the entire process of how the Mongolian army, which was riding on them, turned into minced meat under the sword of this iron-blooded hero.

At noon, the sun was hanging high in the sky, as if the sun was also coming to join in the fun, and wanted to witness this scene that was hard to see in a century.

The common people who were having lunch couldn't help but put down the rice bowl in their hands, opened their mouths wide, and looked around in surprise, with surprise in their eyes. It was nothing else, but they heard the earth-shaking sound of hooves. The sound of hooves seemed to be thundering, causing the earth to tremble and the wind and clouds to lose their color.

"What's the sound?" The common people were confused. The answer was soon revealed because they heard the earth-shaking battle horn "Long live the emperor! Long live the Song Dynasty!"

This battle call was sent from the roar of the Jin cavalry, which is the prelude to their about to launch a death charge.

Jie Jin was wearing military uniform, riding on a tall horse, holding a sword in his hand, and mobilized before the war: "Brothers: We have once again ushered in the moment of writing the glory of the Song Dynasty! In our hands, an extraordinary moment will be born! The sword in our hands will be covered with the flesh and blood of the Tartars! The Tartars will fall to the ground under our sword! Brothers, pick up the sword in their hands and continue our glory! Give the call of death to the evil Tartars! Use the flesh and blood of the Tartars to create our glory!" With the reins of the horse, they rushed past the queue, and the sword in their hands was raised high on their heads, and they collided with the swords held high by the knights in the first row, making a crisp metal clash.

Jie Jin was speeding and shouting: "Long live the emperor! Long live the Song Dynasty!"

The knights followed him and shouted: "Long live the emperor! Long live the Song Dynasty!"

The shouts over and over again formed a shocking war song, soaring into the sky. The hot light of the knights' eyes became increasingly intense, and their bright eyes began to be congested and turned blood red.

Jie Jin pulled the reins of the horse, flew out, rushed out first, and rushed towards the city gate. The cavalry also ran over horses. For a moment, the sound of hooves outside Qizhou City was like thunder, ten thousand times louder than Gioree, and the earth shook under their feet.

Since the capture of Boyan, Qizhou has not been in war. The Southern Song Navy passed by the Yangtze River many times without attacking it. The people here have developed a habit of this being a peaceful nest and there will be no war. The divine weapons of Jie Jin army descended from the sky and suddenly appeared here. It is hard to believe that people here do not believe that this is true, even the soldiers guarding the city in Mongolia could not believe that this is true. When Jie Jin cavalry rushed over, they all looked at it with wide mouths and no idea to close the city gate quickly.

When the city gate officials realized that it was too late to close the city gate. A vast area of ​​objects flew towards the city gate. It was a hand-thrown cast iron bomb. After a deafening explosion, the Mongolian soldiers guarding the city had already fallen in a pool of blood.

Under the leadership of Jie Jin, the Song army rushed into the city like a wind, advanced together, and rushed to the camp of the Mongolian garrison according to Jie Jin's deployment.

At this time, the Mongolian garrison had no idea that the Song army was at the city. They had just prepared lunch and served it on the table, and were ready to have a big meal, and then went to oppress the people in the afternoon and had some fun. The Mongolian soldiers who were looking forward to the wonderful things in the afternoon did not expect that disaster would fall from the sky. Twenty thousand death gods had already attacked them.

It was not until the Song army rushed to the camp that the earth-shaking sound of horse hooves and shouts woke them up from their beautiful dreams, and rushed to the camp gate to watch. They thought there was a big show to be staged, and they were ready to watch the big show. Unexpectedly, the god-like Song army appeared in sight. The sword in Song army's hand flashed under the sunlight, which made people feel heartbroken.

The guard general Wulihatai knew that something was wrong and immediately ordered the Mongolian army to prepare for the battle. Unfortunately, Wulihatai's order did not have time to pass on, and the Mongolian army was hit by the most violent and shocking blow they remembered. Jie Jin and his friends were absolutely fast enough. In a blink of an eye, they rushed to the camp and threw the cast iron bombs into the crowd as if they were not worth money. They threw one at the top of the crowd, one at a time, one at a time, and one at a time exploded. The Mongolian army seemed to have piled straws being pushed down by people, and fell to the ground in unison.

Wulihatai is also a good general. He has been rolling on the battlefield all his life. There are many war scenes that he has seen. He has never seen such a flesh-and-blood explosion. He was shocked and didn't know how to deal with it. He could only stare with his eyes and stare blankly as this incredible scene was staged.

Jie Jin waved his sword and shouted: "Kill!" The sword pointed at the Mongolian camp, and the Song army rushed into the camp like a whirlwind, and the sword in his hand slashed at the Mongolian army.

Li Jun was very clear that the current combat effectiveness of the Song army has been greatly improved compared to before, but the overall combat effectiveness is still far from that of the Mongolian army. Since the founding of the country, the Song army has rarely won battles in front of foreign enemies. It is really impossible for Li Jun to improve the overall combat capability of the Song army to surpass the Mongolian army in a short period of time. There is still a long way to go to achieve this goal.

However, Li Jun made a very wise decision: the overall combat effectiveness cannot surpass the Mongolian army in a short period of time, so he can spend a lot of money to build several fist troops so that their combat effectiveness can surpass the Mongolian army. The cavalry unit of Jie Jin is the product of Li Jun's idea. In order to build this iron-blooded hero, Li Jun spared no effort to give Jie Jin power, asking him to choose from the entire army and be strict in everything.

The selection conditions for this army are as strict as harsh as being selected as the Black Armored Cavalry. Only 20,000 people were selected from a million troops, and it is completely unimaginable how strict the conditions are.

This cavalry unit has excellent foundation, extremely strict training and excellent equipment. When they let go, they are like wolves and tigers, as if tigers have entered the flock. The arrogant Mongolian army has no room for fighting back under their chopping and slaughter, and can only be slaughtered by them.

Wherever the Song army passed, there must be minced meat on the ground, broken intestines, splashed blood, unshaped limbs, and in a word, there was no complete corpse. If he was an ignorant, he would definitely think that this was not a battlefield scene, but a result of the demon.

In Wulihatai's memory, the Mongolian army has always been good at creating chaos and leaving terror to the enemy. However, today he witnessed a scene that was reversed with his own eyes, and the Mongolian army trembled in front of the Song army's slash.

"Oh my God, what kind of army is this?" Wulihatai wailed in his heart, and a sword light like a train passed by. His head was slashed in half from left to right, and blood spurted out like a fountain, and fell to the ground with his back.

According to the people who witnessed the war with their own eyes, after many years, "Oh, it's so terrible. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it was true. You must know that the Mongolian army is very capable of fighting, but there is no power to fight back in front of the Song army, which is no different from the pork placed on the chopping board for slaughter."

When the people of Qizhou came to see, beat drums and drums, and set off firecrackers to welcome the king's army, the cavalry of Jie Jin had already controlled the reins and rode their horses and galloped westward.

The excited people still couldn't hide their excitement, setting off firecrackers at the messy horse hoof marks on the ground, and some even knelt down and kissed the horse hoof marks.
