Chapter 135: The Great Defeat Guo Kan (Part 1)

In the rustling west wind, the trees sway, and with the rhythm of the west wind, forming a wave. If you look from the air, it is extremely spectacular. The withered leaves dance with the west wind, shaking in the cold west wind like butterflies.

The west wind, cold, and withered yellow leaves did not affect people's good mood. Under the leadership of Li Jun, a thousand Song troops were logging wood by the forest, waving their arms and working hard, and sweating all over their faces, as if the cold winter did not exist.

There was a sound of a banging axe hitting trees in the forest, not only but a clear song sounded. This song was "Loess High Slope" well-known to friends. The lead singer was not someone else, but Jiao Yu.

Jiao Yu was bare-armed and swung his axe. While chopping at a big tree, he sang: "My home lives on the loess high slope. The strong wind blows through the slope. Whether it is the northwest or southeast wind, it is my song, my song."

He had a thick throat and let go of his throat and howled dryly, which sounded like a wolf howling. If he was rated by music, his musical cultivation would still be lingering at the kindergarten level. However, he had one advantage, that was, he didn't care about other people's comments at all. As long as he was happy and sang comfortably, he kept singing on his own.

Five hundred Song soldiers followed him and howled: "My home lives on the loess high slope. The strong wind blows through the slope. Whether it is the northwest or southeast wind, it is my song, my song." Can everyone sing with Jiao Yu who is out of tune. Can it still be accurate? It seems like five hundred wild wolves howled like food, which is very harsh. They look like Jiao Yu, enjoying themselves and having fun.

The five hundred big men sang out loud, and the five hundred Song soldiers on the other side whispered their axes to cut down trees while shouting: "You lost, and they sang so badly."

I don’t know which soldier who was not good at politely expressed his opinion first, saying, “What kind of song are you singing? It seems that the watchdog from which family hasn’t eaten meat buns for a few days and has been hungry.”

His words caused a lot of laughter, and many people shouted: "That's Huang Sansa from my family." "Ah Huatiao." Various comments burst out from their mouths.

Listening to these tacky comments, Li Jun couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Jiao Yu waved the axe in his hand, stretched his middle finger at the other side of the Song army soldier, his voice even more relaxed, and he sang: "The sun scrapes past the slope, shines on my cave, shines on my arms, and my cows follow me." His right hand pointed at the Song army who laughed at him, meaning that those Song soldiers were his cows.

A quick-reacting soldier from the five hundred Song army immediately complained to Li Jun and said, "Emperor, General Jiao is scolding us, Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for us."

"He is the kind of habit. There is no way. When he is happy, he likes to do some cow moves and put them down." Li Jun waved his axe and cut off a big tree while answering the soldier.

Li Jun's words attracted a lot of laughter. The five hundred soldiers who were scolded agreed in unison and said, "Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is so wise!" The words were very exaggerated, and at the same time, they were also very relaxed and the atmosphere was extremely good.

Jiao Yu cut off the tree with an axe, let go of the axe, turned around and shouted at the five hundred singing soldiers of Song soldiers: "Brothers, we have finished singing, we want the emperor to have one." Without waiting for them to express their opinions, he waved his big fists and shouted: "Your Majesty, let's have one song, let's have one song."

His words were immediately responded by his team of five hundred soldiers, saying, "Master, let me have one song, let me have another song."

In order to improve efficiency, Li Jun decided to have a song-playing competition and divide the soldiers into two teams. He and Jiao Yu each led a team, and while playing songs, they cut down trees. In this way, the soldiers would be energetic and strong in their work, so there would naturally be more ashes burned out.

According to the rules, after Jiao Yu and the others finished singing, it was naturally Li Jun and the others. Li Jun did not refuse and said, "Brothers, it's our turn. I bow my head to the valley, chase the passing years, prepare and sing!"

Li Jun and his team of five hundred soldiers let go of their throats and sang to Li Jun: "I bow my head to the valley, chasing the passing years, the wind and sand are everywhere in the valley, and my childhood is gone. I look up to the blue sky, searching for the past that has gone far away, and the white clouds wander leisurely and without changing anything. The geese have heard my songs, the river kissed my face, the mountain flowers bloomed and fell, over and over again. The earth leaves my dreams, and the heavenly roaming takes away my love, the stars in the sky are little by little, and I miss it forever."

Li Jun is knowledgeable. Not only is he good at fighting, but his country is well governed, but his singing skills are also good. This song "Xintianyou" which I have sang many times and is so melodiously under his lead singing. Compared to Jiao Yu who was doing the slap, one is in the sky and the other is underground, the difference is more than ten thousand miles away.

Without singing a few lines, Jiao Yu's team should not sing and joined involuntarily. A thousand people sang the song "Xintianyou" under the lead singing of Li Jun. For a moment, a pleasant song sounded by the forest.

After the song was sung, the soldiers were still unsatisfied. Jiao Yu raised his arms and shouted, looking at his appearance, as if he was facing a million Mongolian army, and shouted: "Brothers, is the emperor singing it well?"

Needless to say, of course, the sing was very good, and the soldiers shouted together: "Good."

"Brothers, I want the Emperor to have another song." Jiao Yu shouted excitedly, regardless of other people's thoughts, and shouted first: "Your Majesty, I will have another song."

His proposal immediately came to the response of the soldiers, and they all shouted: "Master, let me have one song, let me have another song."

"Is there really a song?" Li Jun wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.

There is still a question. Of course, the soldiers wanted him to sing another song, roar, and said, "Your Majesty, come one song, come one song, come one song." While roaring, stomping his feet, a sound of stomping his feet sounded.

"Okay, I'll have one." Li Jun's mouth was filled with a strange smile. The soldiers didn't notice it and were very happy. They were mentally prepared to listen to Li Jun's beautiful singing and just waited for Li Jun to sing.

The beauty of adulthood is Li Jun's virtue. Li Jun would not disappoint them. He sang: "Shake, shake, shake to grandma's bridge, grandma calls me a good baby, a pack of candy and a pack of fruit, and I have to get a pack of it after eating it."

This is a nursery rhyme. How many people can't sing it? The soldiers wouldn't have thought that Li Jun would fool them like this. They were both disappointed and funny. They laughed together. For a moment, a burst of laughter sounded.

Jiao Yu didn't know what he was trying to do, so he cut the tree with an axe and sang: "Cut it, chop it, chop it to grandma's bridge, grandma calls me a good baby, a pack of candy and a pack of fruit, I'll cut it even after eating it." The axe in his hand kept chopping on the tree, and the wood chips flew. In a few strokes, the big tree that was about to fall roared aside.

He is a man who is serious and has no ability to sing, but he is quite good at making funny. This random singing actually received a response from the soldiers, and he sang together: "Cut and chop, chop, chop to Grandma's Bridge, grandma calls me a good baby, a pack of candy and a pack of fruit, I will cut a knife after a knife after a bit." While singing, he cut down hard, and trees cut down one after another for them.

At night, more than 100,200 fires were piled up outside the mountain valley, and the flames were blazing, reflecting half of the sky red.

The Song soldiers next to the fire started a song-playing competition again, and loud singing resounded throughout the field. When the song dissipated, more than 200 piles of ashes had appeared in the low-lying areas.

Li Jun sat on a stone, yawning and going to sleep. Jiao Yu walked over gently, with admiration on his face and said, "Your Majesty, you are so amazing. You have burned ten thousand kilograms of ashes in just one day."

"This is all the credit of the soldiers, and the singing is just to cheer them up." Li Jun said humbly: "General Jiao, you should go to bed too."

Jiao Yu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you want ashes?" He looked eager, hoping that Li Jun would give him his answer.

Li Jun did not become a good person this time and said with a smile: "If you want to know the answer, you are just sleeping well and maintaining your spirits. Tomorrow, we will clean up the 100,000 troops of Guo Taigong."

This was said very plainly. Jiao Yu could hear that Li Jun was full of confidence and confident. Needless to say, Guo Kan's army would definitely be in trouble. Although he wanted to know what method Li Jun could use to deal with Guo Kan's army, he still fell asleep according to Li Jun's orders, and soon he snored like thunder.

"Eagles on the grassland: In front of you are the emperor of the Southern Dynasty. He is the food of the eagles on the grassland and our chickens. The great Genghis Khan is calling us, summoning us to extend the claws of the eagles and grab the emperor of the Southern Dynasty." Shi Tianze swung his scimitar while galloping in the Mongolian formation, loudly encouraging the soldiers.

Li Jun himself did not appear in front of the formation. Shi Tianze was just inspiring the morale of the army and making a fool of himself to achieve this goal.

"Genghis Khan!" Shi Tianze waved his scimitar and roared.

Following his roar, hundreds of thousands of Mongolian soldiers shouted with scimitars: "Genghis Khan!" Genghis Khan, the greatest hero in Mongolian history, has passed away for decades, and his influence is still there. His name has magical charm. When the Mongolian soldiers shouted his name, their eyes were filled with a hungry wolf-like light, which would tear the Song army in front of them at any time.

Compared with the shouts of Mongolian soldiers, the Song army was silent in the formation. Liu Hezi sent an order: "Keep quiet, keep quiet." On the battlefield, the only thing that refreshes the spirit is not necessarily the shouts, but quiet also has a magical effect.

Shi Tianze flew to the edge of the artillery and ordered: "Archive artillery." The soldiers were busy and loaded the shells into the cannon chamber.

As long as Shi Tianze gave the order, Mongolian artillery would fire volleys. Although the Song army was not afraid, it would cause great trouble. Needless to say, casualties were the most important thing, the impact on morale would greatly reduce the morale of the Song army.

Since the Song army and Shi Tianze fought, they have been following the policy of resisting step by step and fighting and retreating with the Mongolian army. Because the Song army was well-organized, the casualties were not too great, but they had a certain impact on morale. Since the beginning of the Lin'an Defense Battle, the Song army has been taking offensives and there is no precedent for retreat. This time, the march to Guanzhong was a precedent since the Lin'an Defense Battle. It was unbearable to think of it, and the morale of the Song army naturally declined.

Liu Hezi knew that the time for another test was coming, so he ordered: "Prepare for battle." As soon as the order was passed, the Song army held the sword tightly and prepared to fight with the Mongolian army, and exuded the bird's breath in his heart.

The war was about to begin, and at this moment, a cavalry rushed over. It was Li Jun's guard captain Duan Ganmu. He came to Liu Hezi's side and said, "General Liu, the emperor has an order."

Liu Hezi immediately said, "I am here."

Duan Ganmuxuan and Li Jun's oral order said: "General Liu, retreat immediately and meet with me as soon as possible to defeat the Tartars."

"Abide by the order." Liu Hezi naturally understood that Li Jun, a meticulous person, must have a complete solution. He did not say anything and immediately ordered the retreat. Liu Hezi led a team of soldiers behind the palace, and the Song army slowly retreated to the west.

For Shi Tianze, the battle between the Song army and him was the best ending. He could use his existing military strength to defeat the Song army. As a famous general, he certainly would not let Liu Hezi slip away from his nose and immediately lead 10,000 cavalry to chase him from behind.

Shi Tianze didn't think about it. He had been pursuing the Song army for several days, but he had not achieved decent results. The Song army fought with him for a while and then took the initiative to evacuate. He led his army to pursue him every time, and it was difficult to get a advantage under Liu Hezi. This time was no exception. Apart from normal killing, there were no commendable results.

Seeing Li Jun's ceremonial guard from afar, Li Jun rode a white horse under the imperial umbrella and was looking at the battlefield situation. Li Jun has always been Shi Tianze's number one target for hunting. He has been trying to capture Li Jun these days, but he has used many methods, but he has not succeeded. Not to mention this, what's more serious is that Li Jun suddenly disappeared in the past two days. Li Jun, who had always appeared on the battlefield every time he fought, disappeared. Shi Tianze thought that Li Jun retreated first because the situation in Guanzhong was not conducive to the Song army. In that case, it would be a misfortune for him. Unexpectedly, Li Jun appeared here again, which was a great joy.

Shi Tianze does have a reason to be happy. As long as he maintains the current propulsion speed, he can reach Baoji in less than a few days. When he arrives at Baoji, he can completely capture Baoji with cannons. Before attacking Baoji, he can ambush an army on the way to Lueyang. If Li Jun wants to escape to Lueyang, it goes without saying that he will fall into the trap.

Capturing the enemy's emperor is the supreme goal pursued by any military commander. When Shi Tianze thinks of such a wonderful result, he will not be happy.

However, Shi Tianze is now intent but not brave, because he found that there were more than a dozen trenches digging in front of Li Jun. In addition, the two wings of the Song army were also covered by trenches, which was obviously a charge against the Mongolian cavalry. Shi Tianze remembered the trenches deeply. It was this inconspicuous trenches that buried Guo Kan’s 500,000 troops in Jiangnan, causing Guo Kan, who had never suffered a defeat, to return. When he saw the trenches, he could not be shocked.

Shi Tianze immediately ordered the cessation of advancement. Ten thousand Mongolian cavalry stopped in front of the trenches, but they didn't dare to cross over. They watched the Song army retreat into the Song army's main formation under the command of Liu Hezi.

"Mr. Shi, why did you stop? There are only a dozen trenches, and you dare not come over. You are too brave." Li Jun said to Shi Tianze with a smile.

During the war in Jiangnan, countless trenches were dug. It was really insufficient to stop the Mongolian army by more than a dozen trenches. Li Jun was making a fuss. Liu Hezi shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty, no." What he meant was that Li Jun could not remind Shi Tianze, and he smiled and shook his hand to stop it, but the words behind him were not said.

"Yes." Shi Tianze agreed with Li Jun's statement in his heart, ordered the cavalry to dismount, carry a scimitar and start infantry battles, preparing to seize the trenches. The Mongolian cavalry not only dominate the horses, but also have extremely excellent soldiers without horses. They are very skilled in cutting and killing skills. In addition, they now have hand-thrown cast iron bombs, which are like tigers. If this big killing is enough, it is worth it. The sound of killing is shocking, and both sides have fought flesh and blood for more than a dozen trenches.

The screams mixed with the explosion of hand-throwing cast iron bombs formed a unique war song.

The Song army is not weak either. Their equipment is similar to that of the Mongolian army. In this battle, there is no way to decide the winner in a short time. Both sides have killed corpses everywhere.

Li Jun looked at the sky and said, "This man is getting worse and worse in the war, and he is not making any progress. Come on, we have reminded Mr. Shi." He took the lead and shouted, "Mr. Shi, don't think of fighting with you for this little force. If you have the ability, see you."

Li Jun's words are tantamount to telling Shi Tianze that you can't catch your troops, so quickly invest your reserve troops. Shi Tianze now has superior troops. If you remind him, the consequences will be extremely serious. Liu Hezi, Xu Guanghan and Jiao Yu couldn't help but complain: "Your Majesty, do you think we were defeated too slowly?"

What surprised them was that Li Jun smiled and said, "When will this piece of cake be done? I will remind Mr. Shi to put all his troops into it, and we will make a pot of it." With a wave of his hand, he was full of confidence.

"There are 100,000 Tartars, and we are only a little over 10,000. This is one to ten, and I don't know who will stew who?" Liu Hezi and the others thought so, but it was hard to say anything, so don't mention the anxiousness in their hearts, which cannot be described in the pen and ink.

Shi Tianze reminded Li Jun and immediately ordered the withdrawal of the battle and sent people to urge the troops behind. He was preparing to wait for the troops behind to come and stolen the Song army.

Not long after, all the Mongolian rear teams came up. Shi Tianze formulated an offensive plan for the central government to break through and encircle the two wings, preparing to surround the Song army, gather and annihilate them, and compete for the full results in one fell swoop. Before launching the attack, he used artillery to prepare a firepower to blow the Song army in the trenches upside down and then talk about it.

Shi Tianze stood by the cannon on a horse and said, "Prepare!" The following words are the word "Release". As long as the word "Release" is out, the shells will fly across the Song army's positions, and there will be a sea of ​​fire, with people rising and horses falling over.
