Chapter 224: Encirclement and annihilation of Hulagu (Part 2)(1)

"Soldiers: You have traveled thousands of miles to follow Ben Khan to the Central Plains for what?" Xulagu's eyes were filled with passion, and he also asked a question for his army.

The soldiers replied in unison: "Follow Khan!"

Among all commanders, the commander who is most trusted and loved by the soldiers is the commander who can always win battles and benefit the soldiers. Hulagu is just this kind of commander. He has outstanding military talents. The army under his command always wins and sings and sings. More importantly, he knows what the soldiers need. He always has unexpected ways to inspire the morale of the army. When necessary, he ignores the cost, even if the blood flows into a river. These soldiers love him, and following him to come to the Central Plains is a real idea, not a beautiful word.

Now that the soldiers are in a siege, it is more than anything else to be able to speak. After hearing this, Xulagu's face smiled a little more, and he asked, "Is the Central Plains okay?"

China calls the Westerners a golden country, rich and abundant, and abundant resources, which makes these greedy people dizzy, as if Liu Laolao had entered the Grand View Garden. How could he answer Hulagu's words truthfully and say: "Okay!"

"The Central Plains is very good, but there are better places. You have not been to it yet. This is Jiangnan." Xulagu waved his hand, and the soldiers pushed a charming woman over, and some soldiers carried a lot of things.

Xu Liexu grabbed the woman, pushed her in front of her, and asked the soldiers, "Is she beautiful?"

This woman has a slim figure, delicate curves, and a angular face. Her eyes that are more beautiful than gemstones seem to be able to speak, and they are even more crystal clear than Qiu Shui. She has a face and a figure. She is not only a beauty, but can be used as the standard for beauty. She was frightened, and her beautiful face is as white as paper, without any blood. It also makes people have a fantasy of being pitiful to everyone, and she wishes to give her warmth, care for him, and comfort her frightened heart.

There is a saying that if you don’t see a woman for three days, you will be a fairy in some kind of animal. For the soldiers, as long as you are a woman, you will be a great beauty. Such a beauty can only be an angel, and you can’t say it’s not beautiful. You said, “Beautiful! So beautiful!” You can imagine that if Hulagu hadn’t been in front of you, you would have drowned people.

Such a beauty can be regarded as a standard beauty. If she is not beautiful, she will definitely be treated as some physiological abnormality. As long as she is a man, she has to admit her beauty. However, Hulagu's view is different from that of the soldiers. He sneered and said, "She is not beautiful, she is ugly."

Hulagu's words have always been praised by the soldiers, and there is no time to disagree with them. However, this time it was an exception. As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers could not help but make a sound of surprise regardless of his strict military order. Such a beautiful beauty actually told Hulagu that he was not beautiful and ugly. Anyone who heard it would be surprised and surprised.

If the soldiers were so surprised in normal times, they would definitely be punished by Hulagu. However, this time it was an exception. Hulagu not only did not intend to punish the soldiers, but was also very satisfied with their surprise. He then said: "In Jiangnan, the richest place in China, there are more women who are ten times more beautiful than her. If you arrive in Jiangnan, you will step on several people when you walk by accident."

This was too exaggerated, but the effect was very good. After hearing this, the soldiers' eyes were full of alternative eyes, and the eyes of this woman were no longer so eager.

Hulagu pushed the woman to the personal soldiers, who drew out a scimitar and cut off the woman's head. The poor woman never expected that disaster would come from the sky. Until she died, she didn't understand why Hulagu said that she was not beautiful and wanted to kill her.

After making a gesture, the soldier took out a pair of beautiful silk, and Hulagu asked, "Is this silk good?"

Since Zhang Qian opened up the Western Regions, silk has spread to the Middle East and Rome. These people of Semite are well-known for Chinese silk and have long known its name. The silk selected by Hulagu is the best, quality, material and workmanship. If it can be sold at a sky-high price on the market, it is not a problem to be equal to gold.

Seeing such beautiful silk, the soldiers were so envious that their eyes almost fell off. They couldn't stop swallowing, wanting to take it for themselves, and said, "It looks good! It looks good!"

Hulagu shook his hand and rejected the soldiers' answers, saying, "This silk is garbage, and is used to deceive you. You have never seen real silk. In China, they do not sell the best silk, and the ones sold to you are the worst. The best silk is in Jiangnan, and every household has hundreds or thousands of pieces. They use silk to make beds when sleeping, and walk on silk when walking."

He is worthy of being an excellent orator. He said it so much that the soldiers' eyes were full of greed. With a wave of Hulagu's hand, the soldiers immediately destroyed the silk. Then they damaged all the porcelain, tea, and jewelry that made the eyes of the eyes of the eyes.

Finally, Hulagu raised his arms and shouted, "Let these garbage go to the hell! We are going to Jiangnan! Go to Jiangnan to rob our beloved beauties! Beautiful silk! Beautiful porcelain! Beautiful jewelry! When you arrive in Jiangnan, you have whatever you want!"

What he described was so beautiful, and the soldiers shouted in unison: "Go to Jiangnan! Go to Jiangnan!"

Hulagu waved his hand, and Hutu and his team rushed over.

"Go to Jiangnan!" Jie Jin shook his throat and learned the tone of the soldiers, saying, "Are the Tartars crazy? They are still in a siege, and they are still whimsical. I think they go to Jiangnan, so I think they are almost inseparable."

Obviously in the siege of the Song army, Hulagu put forward the slogan of going to Jiangnan, which was unsurprising. The European Army said in agreement: "Yes, Hulagu must have wanted to break through the siege and be crazy, so he could shout such a crazy slogan. Even if he ran out, there was still the Yangtze River blocking him. How could he cross the Yangtze River?"

Liao Shenggong's view was contrary to theirs, and he said in an admirational tone: "Hulagu's trick is so clever."

Huang Han disagreed with Liao Shenggong's words and immediately retorted: "I said General Liao, Xulawu was obviously crazy. Why did you say he was smart? You can't be a little crazy, right?"

His words immediately attracted a lot of laughter.

Du Dayong smiled and said, "General Huang is really good at telling jokes. General Liao is right. Hulagu's skill is indeed very clever. He is using the Semen people who do not understand China, but only knows that China is a golden country and there are many good things. He uses this to lie and achieve his goal of inspiring the morale of the army. You see, these Semen people are not afraid of death. They kill the firearms in front of us, and the latter step on the corpses of their companions without hesitation. That is because their lies to Hulagu aroused greed."

His words made Huang Han and the others realize it, and said, "This Hulagu is really ruthless and hateful!"

"Your Majesty, let's attack." Jie Jin asked Li Jun for battle.

His words represented the mentality of the generals. Looking at Li Jun together, it was obvious that they were eager to fight. Li Jun smiled and said, "You are just ready."

"Your Majesty, then when will the war start?" The European Army was anxious and asked urgently.

Li Jun smiled and said, "You want to eat Hulagu early, I can understand this. You are so anxious that you can't eat hot tofu. I have already chosen the time. After Hulagu's offensive was setback, we will launch the general attack."

"Don't you have to wait?" Huang Han murmured.

Qingfengko explained: "After Hulagu's attack was set, he will definitely prepare for the next round of attack. Before we launch a general attack, we can attack unexpectedly and unpreparedly. Another point is that this time will not be too long, if the fight is too good."

Li Jun pointed at Qingfengzi and laughed: "Okay, Taoist priest, you are giving them an idea to beat Hulagu." Qingfengzi stroked his beard and laughed: "The emperor is wise!"

These words had already reminded Jie Jin and the others of what to do. They stood up excitedly and said, "Your Majesty, I will leave!" Without waiting for Li Jun to speak, they ran away excitedly.

"It is better to invite generals than to send generals, and it is better to provoke generals than to ask generals!" Li Jun looked at Jie Jin and the others' backs and smiled, "Now Xulagu has taken it. Let's go and see it too!"

"Khan, I really can't stand it anymore. Please order the Khan to withdraw." Hutuhu almost cried: "Khan, I have less than five thousand people left, and I have 30,000 troops."

Hutu has fought many tough battles, but he has not fought a bad battle like today. There is no doubt that the morale aroused by Hulagu was indeed very high and full of fighting spirit. As soon as they entered the battlefield, they made great progress at the beginning and pushed forward several miles in a row.

However, what happened next made him regret his life. The artillery and grenades of the Southern Song Dynasty seemed to be worthless, and threw them overwhelmed and exploded his people into pieces. Hu Tu was so excited that he vowed to break through the siege, unmoved, and ordered the army to continue the attack. Unfortunately, after paying the price of tens of thousands of people, there was no progress.

What impressed him the most was that not long after, he didn't know what the Song army did. He suddenly exerted force and slammed him from behind. If he hadn't retreated quickly when he saw the opportunity, he would have made dumplings now. Even so, he paid a heavy price. The total army of 30,000 people was left, and there were less than 5,000 people left.

"No!" Hulagu broke Hutu's hope in just two short words, but his subsequent words immediately made Hutu's hope shattered Hutu's hope rise again. Hulagu said: "Ben Khan will send you another 30,000 people, and you can create a channel for Ben Khan."

If there are another 30,000 people involved, things will still be possible. At this moment, General Zha Liqi hurried over and said, "Khan, I found a large number of Southern Dynasties troops in the north, approaching us!"

"How many people? What kind of troops?" Xulagu asked with a brow raised.

Zha Liqi replied: "No less than 100,000 people, all cavalry and Xuanjia cavalry are among them."

The Xuanjia Cavalry was one of the most elite troops of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was a sharp knife that was not easy to use. The emergence of the Xuanjia Cavalry meant that the war was about to begin. Xulagu felt ominous and slapped his horse and left with his horse. The generals hurriedly followed.

When Hulagu arrived, he saw a scene that he would never forget for his life.

"Soldiers: Hulagu and his army slaughtered countless of our fellow villagers in Zhending. After a few months, the land of Zhending was still blood red. It was the blood of the fellow villagers in Zhending. Their corpses were still in the wilderness, either for wild dogs or for vultures to eat." Li Jun rode on his horse, dressed in military uniform, and began to pre-war lectures, saying: "Soldiers: It's time to avenge our fellow villagers in Zhending! I ordered you to use the weapons in your hands to cut off the heads of the Tartars! The Tartars are very guilty, and they don't need to leave a living mouth, kill them all, and not a single one!"

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers shouted: "Kill all the Tartars! Avenge their fellow villagers!" As if they were tides, they rushed towards the Semu army, Xuanjia cavalry, Jie Jin cavalry and European cavalry, these three most elite cavalry units of the Southern Song Dynasty followed the musketeers.

The cavalry that Li Jun invested in this direction concentrated the three most elite cavalry of the Southern Song Dynasty, totaling 130,000. The use of cavalry on such a large scale was the first in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty and the first in Chinese history. Its scale exceeded the decisive battle in the northern desert of Emperor Wu of Han, which was a big deal. At that time, Emperor Wu of Han invested 100,000 cavalry, 500,000 infantry, 140,000 official horses, and a total of 300,000 private horses.

Using cavalry to fight was the traditional strength of the Mongols. Hulagu was not panicked at all. With a command, nearly 100,000 cavalrymen came up. According to Hulagu's idea, his army was an elite army that could conquer and fight. If he faced the cavalry of the Southern Song Dynasty, it would be a bloody battle. If he could gain the upper hand in this bloody battle, he might have broken through 80% or 90%.

His idea was right. If Li Jun invested so many cavalry and lost, it would be certain that he would not have enough strength to prevent Hulagu from breaking through. The facts are often ruthless. Hulagu's idea was too unilateral. He just imagined it based on his era. He had no idea that Li Jun came from modern society, and this time he invested a musket soldier that he was unknown to him.

When the two armies were on one side, there was only a dense banging sound from the Song army formation. Hulagu's cavalry seemed to be piled up with straw and fell to the ground in groups, shouting, horses neighing, screaming, and wailing sounds.

With such drastic changes, Hulagu couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head. He never dreamed that the cavalry he leaned on for the Great Wall would end up like this. Even though he had always been calm and had the precious qualities of Mount Tai falling before his face, he couldn't help but be surprised. He opened his mouth wide and looked at this scene in surprise, unable to even speak.

The musketeers, Xuanjia Cavalry, Jie Jin and European cavalry, the formation of the cavalry was like a triangle, and the apex of the triangle was the musketeers. The musketeers had only one task, which was to tear a hole, that is, torn apart the iron plate of Seme Legion. They didn't have to do the rest, but they had three cavalry to do it.

The commander of the musketeer, Dai Yuanjun, remembered the tasks assigned to him by Li Jun and directed the musketeer to assault in depth. Under their dense firepower, the Semu cavalry was vulnerable at all, as if they were entering a no-man's land, and quickly advanced. Jie Jin and the others cooperated well, commanded the army to follow closely, and tear the hole even wider.

It was like a wedge that ruthlessly wedged into the Seme Legion. The opening became bigger and deeper. In a short while, it hit the cavalry that Hulagu threw in a pair.

According to the usual tactics of the Song army, it was necessary to prepare artillery fire before attacking, and then invest in the army's attack. It took a lot of time to wait until the artillery fire achieves the expected effect. The effect is not worse than the artillery fire preparation, and it is also used less time. Although Liao Shenggong and Du Dayong and others knew about the power of his musket, they did not expect it to be so great. They said in surprise: "The musket is such a good thing! It's so powerful! It's much more convenient than artillery! If the imperial army is equipped with muskets, there is no need to fight this battle!"

Their words of exclamation were immediately approved by Qingfengzi, and he said, "Yes, this is the most powerful and most convenient weapon I have ever seen in my life. Although the power of the cannon is greater than that of the musket, it is too bulky and difficult to transport. Only this musket can kill people and shoot horses, which is very convenient. Not to mention that the entire army is equipped with such a weapon, if it is 100,000 people, and a 50,000 less, that is also a great thing."

"Look at your sigh, if you know that modern society also has automatic rifles, submachine guns, machine guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns, all of which are much more powerful than the muskets we use. Compared with modern society's guns, our muskets can only be considered shoddy. If our muskets encounter heavy equipment from modern society, they will not be useful at all. If you know these, will you drop your chin?" Li Jun felt very funny in his heart after hearing their words, and held back his laughter and said, "This is all Huang Yongshan's credit. He has achieved continuous firing, otherwise the muskets would not be put into actual combat. At most, they are like muskets, used to defend themselves and save lives."

Although the musket can be put into use is due to Huang Yongshan's contribution, Li Jun is the initiator. When he was in sight of this success, Li Jun did not make any contribution, but said it was Huang Yongshan's contribution. His mind was very broad. Qingfengzi sighed: "The emperor is humble, I admire him!"

Li Jun smiled and said, "When did Taoist master learn so worldly? I always say it nicely. If you pass the order, the other troops will immediately enter the battle and eat Hulagu's cavalry!"
