Chapter 125: Encirclement and annihilation of Borhu (1)

A deafening sound came from the mountains, and the sound of the mountains and valleys made the ground tremble, as if the entire mountain road was about to collapse.

There were no accidents in which mountain people rolled stones from the mountains to kill and injured Mongolian soldiers. There was no need to be surprised. Mu Zhali had a keen reaction ability. He knew that such a big noise would never be caused by a few mountain people. He shouted in his heart that he was not good. He looked up and saw countless huge rocks rolling down from the mountains, blocking the mountain road in an instant.

"It's such a waste, I don't report it." Mu Zhali scolded Baido and Bo Chilie, who were on guard in his heart. If the two were in front of him, he would have drawn out a scimitar and cut off their heads without hesitation.

There is no need to think about such a big noise, and it is impossible for the mountain people to do it. It must be the large Song army lying on the mountains and waiting for them. The two thousand-person teams were on the alert task, but they did not issue a warning. Tens of thousands of troops were ambushed. Mu Zhali's depression can be imagined.

He could not have thought that it was not that the two commanders of thousands did not want to call the police, but that they did not have the opportunity to warn in advance, because they were already clay Buddhas crossing the river and could not protect themselves. While blocking the passage, Xu Guanghan commanded the special forces to attack the two thousand-man teams who were guarding. The arrows shot from the crossbow were as dense as raindrops, and many shots fell down. Bai Duochang was about to warn him, but a bang shot a bloody hole in the musket on his chest, his chest was covered in blood, and he fell down on his back. He could only bring the warning to the underworld for King Yama to use.

Bo Chilie on the other mountain road was not much better. Although he was lucky enough to not hit the musket and sent out the signal, when he was shocked, he saw a strange weapon with a cold light shining in the sunlight was inserted into his chest bit by bit. This weapon was the Mitsubishi Army Sword that caused Mongolian soldiers to fall in danger in the Lin'an defense battle. When he felt the pain, the Mitsubishi Army Sword had already left his body, and his blood spurted out like a water arrow, shooting far away.

The Mitsubishi Army Baton was designed for bloodletting, and it was impossible to make his blood not sprayed far away.

The other Mongolian soldiers who served as guards either stabbed the Mitsubishi army to death, shot the crossbow, or killed the hand-thrown cast iron bomb, or killed the musket. The battle went very smoothly, and only a quarter of an hour ago, the two thousand Mongolian troops were reimbursed.

The special forces have always been a sharp blade in Li Jun's hand. They have the most advanced equipment and the most rigorous training. They are hidden in the dark. Once they launch an attack, they are all like tigers in the South Mountain. The Mongolian soldiers can resist it without being completely wiped out. If they do not give them a complete annihilation, they will feel ashamed of the great reputation of this army since their establishment.

"After the horse's rear gun." Mu Zhali looked at the danger signal sent by Bo Chilie and commented. He was right. The mountains were fighting hot, and the special forces' hand-thrown cast iron bombs showed their power. There were bangs and explosions everywhere, and the sound of muskets. Do you still need to send a signal?

No matter how much you scold, the problem still needs to be dealt with. The most urgent task at present is to try to break out of the ambush. He has two options, one is to change the back team to the front team and withdraw from the back. Another method is to launch an attack unexpectedly, capture the mountains and break through the siege. Mu Zhali is a general with good talent. After a moment of contemplation, he knows that the best choice to be the first is to capture the mountains and fight to the death. Perhaps there is still a glimmer of vitality.

As for retreating, don't even think about it. If the Song army can ambush on the mountains, the retreat will of course be blocked. It is impossible to break through the siege. Besides, if we retreat, there will be too many troops, and it will be difficult to rush out of the dangerous ground in a short time and squeeze together, and it will become a living target. It is better to attack the mountains on both sides. If the battle is good, as long as you capture one place, you will have vitality.

Mu Zhali's reaction cannot be said to be unhappy, but his opponent was Liu Hezi, who was only faster than him and not slower than him, and he had already understood the possible reaction he might have. Liu Hezi stood on the mountain, looking at countless Mongolian troops rushing towards the mountain like a rabbit in order to survive, and sneered: "If you let one run away, my surname is not Liu."

He watched the Mongolian army rush up quietly without the next move. Until the Mongolian army was only twenty or thirty feet away from the mountain, Liu Hezi waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Battle."

He waved it as if he was transforming magic. Countless Song soldiers suddenly emerged and rolled the huge rocks down the mountain. There were countless stones ranging from millstones to fists. I don’t know how many stones there were. When rolling down from the mountain, you can imagine how great the shock force arose in the hearts of Mongolian soldiers. It can be said that they were so scared that they were scattered. The strength they had already plucked up to survive was gone, and they stared at the boss, staring foolishly as the stone hit him or his companions, making a shrill scream.

No matter how brave an army is, they will feel scared as long as they are caught in an ambush. Especially when they fall into this ambush, the blow to morale is almost devastating. The slaughter itself is enough to make the Mongolian soldiers desperate. With this, they are still not afraid of death. Many soldiers either become weak or hit stones and roll down from the mountain.

The Qinling Mountains are known for their steepness. The mountain road is dozens or hundreds of feet away from the mountain. If you roll down, it would be ok. If you don’t fall to death, you will be killed by death.

This is not the end. Liu Hezi seemed to be the incarnation of a devil. He was unwilling to kill all the Mongolian troops here and shouted, "Take the explosive pack." The soldiers of the Song army ignited the explosive pack, or threw the cast iron bombs into the bottom of the mountain.

In this kind of ambush, artillery cannot be transported. If the artillery is advantageous, there is no need for artillery. It is enough to have hand-thrown cast iron bombs and explosive packs. You only need to lengthen the explosive pack and the fuse of the hand-thrown cast iron bomb.

For a moment, there was either a bang explosion or a loud bang from a stone hitting down. Of course, there was another sound outside this, that was the tragic tragedy of the Mongolian soldiers before their death.

The stone rolled down from the mountains, with amazing power. If it hit it, it would definitely be crushed to pieces or turned into a pile of meat paste. In just a moment, there was no more meat paste on the mountain road, and the red blood seeped out, dyeing the mountain road red.

Mu Zhali fought in his life, and experienced many strong winds and waves. He had never seen a nearly hell-like fighting style. He felt desperate. He looked up at the sun in the sky, pulled out a scimitar and put it on his neck. A tent of blood splashed out, and his eyes fell round. He was dying with his eyes open.

Liu Hezi didn't know that Mu Zhali had committed suicide. He waved his hand and shouted, "Battle and fight, beat me to death. I still have to execute the emperor's orders. I don't have time to fight them, and I don't need to be captured. I'll beat them all to death. Don't blame me for being cruel, I can only blame the Tartars for being too cruel. God will resent them. God will not bless them. Fight." A hand-throwing cast iron bomb was lit and threw it out. The hand-throwing cast iron bomb roared through the air, falling straight to the mountain road like a god of death.

From a geographical point of view, that is, from a strategic perspective, the geographical location of the northwest is extremely important. You can attack important areas such as Guanzhong, Sichuan to the south, block Beijing to the east, enter the Mongolian grassland to the north, enter the Western Regions to the west, and enter Tibet to the southwest. It can be said that this is the real throat place, in the words of the ancients, it is the "land of four battles".

Mengge recommended the great detour strategy and swore to attack Song in Liupan Mountain, which shows the importance of the Northwest region in the entire national strategy.

It is precisely based on this consideration that the Mongols have always had heavy troops here and also have important weapons manufacturing workshops here. Guo Kan learned a lot after retreating from Jiangnan, such as the Song army's special combat methods, the use of artillery, and hand-throwing iron bombs. For this person with the title of God, it is not difficult to learn.

The Mongols occupied the Central Plains region. The Central Plains region has always been the most prosperous area of ​​Chinese nation civilization and the foundation of the Chinese nation's national development. In today's words, there are a large number of high-quality engineering and technical personnel here. After Guo Kan retreated, he returned to the public and said what he learned about Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan made a big name and keenly aware of the great value of artillery. He decided to make a large number of artillery artillery to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian army.

With Guo Kan’s valuable experience of “empirical experience” and the efforts of the engineers, the artillery was quickly built. Hand-throwing cast iron bombs were not difficult at all. The gunpowder that Guo Kan gave to Boyan was once filled with cast iron barrels, and could be built with just a slight change.

An important geographical area like the Northwest is naturally to produce artillery to strengthen combat effectiveness. Due to the short time, the number of production in the Northwest is not very large, with about one hundred. In order to strengthen Borhu's attack power, Kublai Khan ordered him to use artillery and hand-thrown cast iron bombs. These are the two new weapons that Borhu has high hopes for.

Guo Kan returned from defeat and carefully reviewed it, summarized it carefully with the most realistic attitude, praised Li Jun's beheading operation, and said to Kublai Khan bluntly, "This kind of action is consistent with the art of war. With the powerful weapon of artillery, the beheading operation is easier to succeed, and it is a topic of our army's research."

In ancient Chinese military tactics, there was a saying that "destroy the strength, take the soul, fight the dragon in the wild, and the way is exhausted." Li Jun's beheading action in Lin'an is consistent with the ancient military tactics, which is correct. In the Lin'an relief battle, Li Jun used ten cannons to bomb Boyan. Although he did not kill him, he also severely damaged Boyan, disrupted the command system of the Mongolian army, and laid the foundation for the victory of the Song army in this battle.

Boerhu and Li Jun lost a lot of money. Not only did they not win, they also demonstrated in front of Li Jun and killed the Mongolian scouts on the spot, bringing huge shocking effects to the Mongolian army. Boerhu decided to take a beheading operation and use cannons to kill Li Jun. In that case, the benefits would be unimaginable. The death of Mengge temporarily ended the Mongols' war of invasion of Song for many years, and it was not until Kublai Khan stabilized the throne of Khan that he launched the war to destroy Song again.

Li Jun is the soul of the Southern Song Dynasty. Without Li Jun, you can imagine what the Southern Song Dynasty would look like. As for the successors, it is impossible for them to be as brave as Li Jun. At least they are not possible at the moment because they are still children. In this way, the Mongolian army can take advantage of this favorable opportunity to come to Lin'an again.

Although the cannon was bulky and inconvenient to move, it was a powerful weapon for siege. Boerhu was very happy to have such a weapon. Although there were many mountain roads on his marching route, which was even more unfavorable to the propulsion of the cannon, he decided to bring the cannon.

Thinking of the magical achievements that were about to be obtained, beautiful little stars appeared in Bor's eyes. He kept praising himself for his foresight in his heart. He brought the cannon and came in handy. He waved his hand and shouted, "Prepare! Let it go!" The gunner ignited the fuse, and hundreds of shells drew curves, covering Li Jun like a big net.

Boerhu's plan is very good, but unfortunately, his opponent is Li Jun, the ancestor of the artillery battle in this world. He used artillery to attack Li Jun, which was really a show of his skills and was destined not to succeed.

According to the usual combat style of the Mongolians, Borhu retreated to his own formation, and the Mongolian cavalry would immediately launch a charge, creating chaos and leaving fear to his opponents. Strangely, Borhu returned to his own formation, and the Mongolian army did not launch a charge immediately, as if waiting for something.

If it were someone else, maybe I would have ignored this short-term abnormality, which made Borhu's dream come true. I found that this abnormality was Li Jun, who had a keen insight, and felt the dangerous aura and was about to disperse the nearby Song army. As soon as Li Jun passed the order down, a ball of fire appeared and a fire net covered it.

"It turned out that Bor suddenly wanted to use artillery to deal with me, but he didn't know how much he, a student, learned from me, as a teacher." Li Jun thought in his heart and shouted, "Hurry up and disperse." He pulled the reins and galloped away.

For the Song army, artillery was their weapon and their favorite. They knew very well about artillery and naturally knew how to deal with it. Even if Li Jun didn't say it, he knew to run away. He suddenly ran away. When the shells hit the ground, there were no one in the local area. After a burst of explosions, there were only hundreds of craters.

The only result of the first round of artillery battle in Mongolia's history was hundreds of bullet craters. If Kublai Khan knew about it, he would not know what he would think?

"Borhu is definitely absent in class, and he can't even get a cannon." Li Jun helped Boerhu, a student with poor record, find the reason in his heart, and shouted: "Zhu Rui, Boerhu has performed, and his results are zero. Show your skills and let him see how to get the cannon."

Li Jun once again showed his courage to laugh at the face of millions of Mongolian troops. At this time, he actually said so humorously that the soldiers who were originally a little surprised calmed down.

Artillery has always been used by the Song army, and the Mongolian army has not used it. When it appears, it will still produce shock in the minds of the Song army. This is how war is. Everyone learns from each other in the war. The side with backward technology and equipment will gradually learn advanced technology. Maybe it will take a long time, after all, they will learn and make progress. History has proved this point, and friends who are familiar with the history of war will definitely agree with this statement, so I won’t say much.

Zhu Ruixiang understood what Li Jun meant, and asked him to let go, beat him hard, answer the order, and shouted to the gunner: "Get your spirit and shoot the cannon well. Target: Tartar artillery. Get ready! Let it go!"

The Songfan prairie is conducive to cavalry combat. Li Jun's army has not many cavalry, and it is much more difficult to face Boerhu's cavalry. Of course, it is not impossible to deal with Boerhu's cavalry, that is, bombard him with artillery, bombard him with his own horse and overturn him, and then take the opportunity to attack and defeat Boerhu.

Therefore, Li Jun transferred all the cannons that could be transferred, nearly a thousand. With Zhu Ruixiang's order, thousands of cannons roared together, and a loud sound that shocked the earth sounded. Thousands of shells dragged their long tail flames and rushed straight towards Boerhu's cannons. The bright tail flames reflected half of the sky red.

Boerhu was shocked when he faced such a spectacular cannon volley for the first time. He knew that something was wrong, so he pulled his horse and ran away.

His reaction was really not slow, but unfortunately the gunners had no chance to escape. Fireballs flashed one after another, and explosions came one after another, shaking the earth and deafening.

Now the Southern Song artillery is no longer the artillery that was in the beginning of the Lin'an Defense War. At that time, there were only ten trial-made artillery artillery. Li Jun, a modern man, certainly understood the great value of artillery, and spared no expense in order to build an excellent artillery. With Li Jun's efforts, the Southern Song artillery now has a large number of artillery, but has also experienced the baptism of many wars. The technical level has been greatly improved and the practical experience is very rich. The target is locked in Mongolian artillery. When the Mongolian artillery is started, there will be no place for Mongolian artillery to survive and it will be destroyed.

The more serious consequence is that the shells placed by the Mongolian army here were detonated, adding a large number of shells, which is tantamount to the power of a few firepower volleys. It would be great if the Mongolian artillery could not be destroyed completely.

The most unlucky ones were the Mongolian gunners. Boerhu once told them that they were Mongolian treasures and were priceless treasures. But when things came, Boerhu ran away and left them to block the shells. The gunners felt a wave of heat coming, and then the torn pain came, and they had already torn into pieces.

The Mongolian artillery was gained by Guo Kan's personal experience, and the efforts of engineering and technical personnel made artillery. Everything was still in the forging stage. There were still many problems. Where can I fight against the already mature Southern Song artillery? It would be strange if they don't suffer any losses.

"The stolen master is different from the stolen master." Li Jun smiled and said to Zhu Ruixiang: "He hasn't learned the trick yet. You can teach Boerhu a few more steps and ask him to know how to fight this cannon."
