Chapter 439
New Lin has retreated to Chengdu.

Looking at the Song army approaching at every step, his brows were deeply frowned, like a knife carving.

"Marshal Du, do you want to fight or not?" Che Li leaned forward and asked.

The more than three thousand Mongolian troops can eat cattle, sheep and horses, and the pressure on their luggage is less than that of the nearly ten thousand Song troops. This is true, but they still have to eat.

There is nowhere to plunder near Chengdu, and the luggage was lost in Luzhou, so it is not a problem to drag it down.

Niu Lin turned his head and shouted: "How to fight?! Song cowards wear heavy armor, and every step they take, they have to set up horses and trenches. How to fight?!"

To be honest, Newell has never fought such a battle before.

In recent years, the Song army who was dragged to death by him is not one or two.

But he didn't want to take any chances.

Lose again... I can't lose anymore.

The car was also tangled, and said: "Since we don't fight, let's retreat? Chengdu is an empty city. If you lose it, you lose it. Just grab it back."

This was also what Newell said.

Chengdu is an empty city, and if it is handed over to the Song army, the Song army can't hold it.

Because there is no food in the city.

To transport grain from Syria, the Mongolian cavalry can cut off such a long supply line at any time.

1000 people can make the Chengdu defenders run out of food and starve for ten days and a half months, let alone 10 Song troops, [-] people can also wear down.

This is the way to win.

However, the profuse sweat is about to hit Chongqing, and the city of Chengdu is lost here?
"..."

Newell was silent for a long time.

The car had no choice but to ask again: "Neither fight nor retreat, shall we defend the city?"

Let the cavalry dismount, go to the top of the city to defend the city, and fight the Song army to defend the city.This obviously cannot be Newell's choice.

Eighteen days.

He waited for Li Xia to show his flaws.

but no.

Li Xia has always been steadfastly implementing a step-by-step style of play, which seems to be... a lot of time.

Niu Lin wished he could rush to Li Xia himself, slap him hard, and ask him.

"Aren't you in a hurry?! Khan is about to break through the Chongqing Mansion, and when the whole of Shuchuan falls, are you still fighting slowly?!"

At this point, Niu Lin must make a choice.

Should we abandon Chengdu and bring down the Song army with a winning method; or should we take the risk of fighting to the death.

He straightened his chest and said word by word: "Go out of the city and face the battle."

There was determination in his eyes as he spoke.

The beards on his face were as hard as iron, and they couldn't be blown by the wind.

Men on the prairie stand upright and will not compromise.

……

The horn sounded like a whimper.

The Mongolian army abandoned Chengdu again, and rode their horses towards the Song army's line.

Their tactics were not to line up neatly to rush into the Song army, but to disperse [-] steps away from the Song army.

Gather like hills and mountains, disperse like wind and rain.Thousands of riders can be divided into hundreds of miles.

If viewed from the sky, nearly [-] Song troops lined up neatly and stood in several tight square formations, and Mengqi was like loose sand scattered around them.

Although the number of Mongolian riders is small, they are distributed in an area several times that of the Song army.

They surrounded the Song army and began to shoot arrows.

The arrows were not dense, and most of them fell on the shields of the Song army.

The sun was very hot, and the soldiers of the Song army in heavy armor were sweating profusely, but they still had to hold up their heavy shields for defense.

If there is enough time, the Mongolian army can harass like this for several days without launching a charge until the Song army is exhausted.

But Li Xia's command flag had already begun to waver, ordering the Song army to continue to advance towards Chengdu.

It was as if they hadn't seen the Mongolian army.

……

Niu Lin rode his horse and ran around the Song Army's phalanx, looking for weak spots in their defense.

Like a wild animal hunting for food, trying to find a place to bite.

But no, Song Jun only planned to march five miles a day.

Heavy armored soldiers, spearmen, and archers are arranged layer by layer, and even food and supplies are always surrounded inside.

If this continues, the Song army will be able to enter Chengdu tomorrow.

Will it be impossible to fight street fights by then?
There was another long horn sound, and Meng Qi began to gather in the direction of New Lin...

~~
The car felt that Newell was crazy.

He understood that Niu Lin wanted to give up his usual style of play, charge into the Song army, and start a hand-to-hand fight.

This is by no means the strength of the Mongolian army.

The nimble leopard hunts and kills the bull, and also bites the bull out, and waits for the bull to bleed to exhaustion.

If you rush up directly, you will also be injured by the horns.

"Marshal Du!"

"Longsheng Tian, ​​bless me!" Niu Lin waved the scimitar, and the messenger blew the horn louder and louder.

Meng Qi gathered together, not rushing to charge immediately, but roaring non-stop.

The horseshoes scraped the soil on the ground, screaming non-stop.

Three thousand cavalry, some with two cavalry, some with three cavalry, gathered together, the phalanx was far larger than the Song army.

Sense of oppression, murderous aura soaring...

~~
"Meng Qi is about to rush over!"

Pu Wei yelled, finally feeling the pressure of field battles with the Mongolian cavalry.

He heard from Pu Zezhi that ordinary soldiers standing on the ground and seeing Mongols shouting on horseback would be easily overwhelmed by the momentum of the Mongols and thus defeated.

Pu Wei didn't understand it before, but only now did he understand why.

The herd of horses turned out to be terrifying, and the Mongols on horseback were condescending, which naturally brought fear to people.

The initiative is in the hands of the Mongols, and it is up to the Mongols to decide whether to attack or not. Song Bing can only stand there and think wildly. The longer the time, the weaker his legs become.

"Feiyu! Look... the back! The back! The Mongolian army gathered around the back..."

Li Xia was very calm and said, "I know."

"Aren't you going to change soon?"

"You can't change the formation, otherwise the Mongolian will soon change the direction to attack."

Li Xia's speech was fast, and he strode away, ignoring Pu Wei.

"Drum!"

"Stop advancing! All parties guard their lines of defense!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

……

"Damn, we're going to Chengdu soon..."

"Shut up!" Sha Bao roared, and shouted, "Beat the drums and respond!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"The shield hand puts down the shield and rests for a quarter of an hour!" Sha Bao strode forward and shouted with all his strength: "Relax the fuck! Give me the strength to slow down!"

Wang Datou turned his back to him, repeated these orders quickly, and yelled at the soldiers under his command.

This is not the first time they have fought against the Mongols. They all know that the Mongols are actually very cunning, and they will try their best to exhaust the physical strength of the Song soldiers before charging.

Sometimes after waiting nervously for a day, the Mongols stopped fighting again.

However, this time, Li Xia had carefully discussed the overall strategy with all the soldiers.

"Meng people will definitely charge, they can't hold back, their hearts are already in a mess..."

Wang Datou actually didn't quite understand.

But he knew what Li Xia meant.

"Relax the fuck! Relax, it's not like we haven't defeated the Tartars before! We win battles every year... make me laugh! Hahaha!"

This is the experience of these low-ranking generals to help the soldiers relax their tense nerves and stiff muscles.

But only a few awkward laughs.

Everyone is breathing heavily.

~~
Li Xia was also breathing heavily.

This was his first large-scale field battle with Mongolian cavalry.

He has a small chariot, the height of three people, and his vision is slightly better after climbing up.

From a distance, the banner of the Mongolian army has begun to lean forward.

Li Xia narrowed her eyes, held her breath, and opened her mouth...

"coming!"

"Boom! Boom!"

The drums are very rhythmic, reminding the soldiers and horses on the rear wing.

"coming!"

Sha Bao yelled loudly: "Shieldman! Raise the shield!"

"Pikeman! Spear!"

"The arrow is on the string!"

"..."

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The horse's hooves stepped on the ground, causing the earth to tremble.

……

Li Xia's eyes narrowed more and more, which was illuminated by the sun.

It was still morning.

The Song army marched towards Chengdu from the southeast.Newell deliberately circled their rear flank and attacked from the east.

Song Jun Xiangyang.

The sun shone brightly on the armor, dazzling your eyes.

The Mongolian army that came with the sun was even more terrifying.

"Hold on to the rear wing! Prepare the two flanks! Be careful that the Mongolian army changes the direction of attack at any time!"

Li Xia gave orders, and suddenly his eyes froze.

He found that Newell was at the forefront.

The Marshal of the Mongolian Army still retains the fine tradition of leading the way...

At this moment of distraction, Niu Lin's banner suddenly pointed in another direction, and the Mongolian army turned around and turned to the right wing of the Song army.

……

"Shieldman!" Liu Jinsuo shouted with all his might.

When he heard the drumbeat, he was already on the defensive.

But I didn't expect that the Mongolian army really came to him.

"Hang on! Hold on to the Mongolian army, there will be support soon..."

"Buck!"

A horse neighed.

It was You Mengqi who fell into the ditch in front of the Song army.

But after that, Meng Qi jumped over the ditch without hesitation and ran straight into the Song army.

"Kill!"

"kill……"

The decisive point of this battle is very simple.

If Niu Lin can defeat the Song army in this phalanx before the Song army encircles them, he will win.

If Li Xia can encircle the Mongolian army before the phalanx is defeated, he will win.

The blood has been spilled, and the victory and defeat will be left to the soldiers...

~~
North of Chengdu, Mianzhu.

A Mongolian cavalry of more than [-] men is galloping on horseback.

The leading general of the Mongolian Army was named "Liu Heima", and he was still preparing to wipe out the remnants of the Song Army in the upper reaches of the Jialing River, so he rushed to aid Niu Lin when he was ordered.

He is the general manager of Wanhu in the Mongolian army. He has been guarding Shaanxi and Shanxi for many years. This time he also went out with Meng Ge.

Meng Ge valued the talent of Liu Heima, and had long intended to let him manage Chengdu for Niu Lin.

Because in Meng Ge's plan, Niu Lin didn't have to go back to Chengdu when he attacked Chongqing, and he could just attack Lin'an.Then, Chengdu needs a person who understands governance to run it.

But none of them expected that Niu Lin had lost so badly.

"quick!"

The horses swam across the Mianyuan River and marched towards Chengdu at high speed...

~~
"kill!"

Niu Lin slashed like flying with the scimitar in his hand, and the Meng soldiers behind him kept rushing up, killing all the soldiers of the Song army to the ground.

Newell knew that reinforcements were likely.

But in a day or two, Song Jun will enter Chengdu.

He must at least stop the Song army from entering the city.

This is related to the honor of the whole family, why is he afraid to go to the battlefield in person?

……

Liu Jinsuo roared angrily, and tried his best to hold back the shield hand who kept retreating in front, but the soles of his feet were still pushed and slid backwards.

He didn't expect a marshal of the Mongolian capital to fight so fiercely.

Song Jun's momentum was suppressed from the very beginning.

Liu Jinsuo really wanted to raise his spear and stab Niu Lin over.

But he knew that he was really no match for the opponent.

They are all old fighters, not to mention Niu Lin's tall horse, not to mention Niu Lin's bodyguards like tigers and wolves, but only his arms, Niu Lin is also much thicker than Liu Jinsuo.

"If you rush forward, you will be cut down by Niu Lin, and your soldiers will be defeated, and the whole battle will be lost." Liu Jinsuo calculated very clearly.

Of course, it wasn't because he was afraid of Newell.

"Hold it! Wait until the Mongolian army is encircled! I will stab him to death again!"

……

Finally, Yang Ben was the first to encircle.

But the Qingfu horse army is completely incomparable with the Mongolian cavalry.

It is not that infantry can be called cavalry when they are mounted on horses. The Qingfu horse army still lacks long-term training, and they dare not fight head-on with the Mongolian army.

"Quick!"

The shield player in front of Liu Jinsuo has fallen.

He set up his long spear and personally faced Meng Qi to kill him.

Looking up again, Niu Lin was already in the formation, directing the Mongolian army in the back row to release arrows.

……

Sha Bao was running with great strides.

He clearly knew that Liu Jinsuo was having a hard time holding on, and he was urgently needed to attack the Mongolian army's right wing to form a pincer attack.

"quick!"

……

Li Xia leaned forward.

He can't wait to go into battle in person, against New Lin.

But he didn't, he took a deep breath, and reviewed the game again in his heart, knowing that he was safer and calmer than Newell in this battle.

Where the line of sight falls, the red torrent is trying to surround the black torrent, and the outcome will be decided...
