Chapter 766 Breaking the Formation
"Oh!"

The thunderbolt blasted under the horse's hooves, breaking the horse's leg and throwing the rider off the horse.

At the same time, the splashed iron flakes splashed on the face of another Mongolian cavalryman, causing him to scream in pain.

A Shu finally admitted that the Mongolian army's arrows did not have an advantage in long-range shooting, because the Song army hid behind the wall to release arrows and threw thunderbolt cannons.

Only charge.

Following A Shu's order, the Mongolian soldiers set fire to the tails of the redundant horses, allowing them to rush forward crazily and fall into the deep trench.

"Bah..."

The neighing of the horse was miserable.

The horses that fell into the ditch raised their necks with sadness in their eyes.

Looking into their eyes, it seems that they are more spiritual than many numb people in troubled times.

Finally, Youmeng rode his horse across the ditch, stepped on the horse's carcass, and rushed forward, intending to pass between the fortresses of the Song army.

A Shu's route is also simple, break through the Song Army's east defense line, go north to Qingyang Mansion, and return to Liangzhou.

The reason why he didn't go west to Li Zengbo's defense line was because he had fought against Li Zengbo and knew that old guy was good at defense.

In the past few years, when it was really a frontal offensive and defensive battle, Ah Shu never defeated Li Zengbo once.

What wiped out 40 enemies and fought thousands of miles without losing a single defeat is just the result of detours.

Although Ah Shukuang is crazy, he doesn't intend to do anything that is not sure.

As for the attack on the east side, although Li Xia was facing Li Xia, and there were fortifications such as Gaocheng City and Shengou Fortress, Li Xia was young after all, and his battle experience was definitely not as good as Li Zengbo.

Another point is that the entire defense line to the east is divided into three parts, one part is Gaoqiang City, and the north and south defense lines are another part.

In the eyes of A Shu, the level of defense of the general of the Song Army who hung the tooth flag with the word "Liu" in the north was very average.

For example, if a veteran like Li Zengbo defends a place, there are countless defensive methods.In addition to the trenches, there will also be a deer foot layout, that is, wooden stakes nailed to the ground, which are as high as the legs of a sika deer, and serve as a tripping horse, which is the least expensive fortification.

Therefore, Ah Shu chose this side to break through without hesitation.

The Mongolian army seemed to squeeze through a gap in a strange rock, scraped bloody, hung the flesh and skin on the sharp stone, and finally squeezed out.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Mongolian army escaped the explosion of the thunderbolt gun, rode their horses through the ditch filled with comrades and horse corpses, and passed through the heavy fortress... The front is a shallow water plateau.

To the northeast of Qianshuiyuan is the junction of the Jing River and the Pu River, and the north of the Shun Pu River leads to Qingyang Mansion, which is their way of life.

"Kill it out!"

The way of life is in sight, and the morale of the Mongolian army has been greatly boosted...

~~
On the top of Gaoqi City, Dong Wenyong was standing behind Li Xia, watching the battle in the north.

It is now early September, and he has been captive for more than a month.

The first battle of Jindou Pass was still in July... Li Xia besieged frontally, while Dong Wenyong defended Jindou Pass with [-] soldiers and horses. As a result, the Song Army defeated the enemy camp and walked the Yellow River by water to cut off the rear.

Dong Wenyong also led his troops out of Jindou Pass many times, attacking and defeating the enemy camp with reinforcements from Luoyang and Shanzhou.

He thought he would be able to defeat the rebel army that had just voted for Li Xia with one blow, but he didn't expect that the enemy battalion was much tougher than he expected, and he insisted on withstood the two-sided offensive.

Jindouguan was thus surrounded for half a month, and people's hearts fluttered.

After that, Li Xia suddenly crossed the ditch and climbed the city, and Guancheng was breached.

Dong Wenyong thought that this battle would be fierce, but compared with the Song army's pursuit and interception of Ashu recently, he realized that the kind of battle where you occupy Tongguan City and I occupy Jindouguan City can help collect the corpses every day after attacking the city for half a day. Not worth mentioning.

During the one and a half months of being captured, he saw with his own eyes that after Li Xia arranged the defense of Tongguan, he rushed westward, non-stop from Tianshui to Gongchang, chased Ashu to Hezhou, and then rushed to Gaoqi for defense.

Marching sixty miles a day, going around for more than [-] miles.

Compared with Ashu, Dong Wenyong really didn't make Li Xia work so hard. He was not as powerful as Ashu, nor was he as destructive.

He can be regarded as a good general. He conquered Dali and Ezhou with Kublai Khan. He can supervise the transportation of grain and grass, and he can also be a vanguard to defeat the enemy.

Beidi did not distinguish between civil and military affairs. Dong Wenyong is more like a civil servant than a warfighter. He is good at teaching and farming. He once gave lectures to Kublai Khan’s son. After he became an official in Henan, his main job when he was not fighting Promote agriculture and encourage farming.

Therefore, Li Xia did not kill Dong Wenyong, but instead had the intention of soliciting him.

In this troubled time, Li Xia's criterion for recruiting someone is very simple, it only depends on whether the other party protects or harms the people.

Of course, this is his principle, and it depends on whether the other party is willing to surrender.

Dong Wenyong refused to surrender, but often made rude remarks.

Seeing that Liu Jinsuo's defense line was about to be breached at this time, he opened his mouth to comment, although his tone was not sarcastic, but he sincerely expressed his contempt for Li Xia.

"Look, your northern defense line is about to collapse. Although I hate Ah Shu, to be honest, you are afraid that you will be defeated."

After a while, seeing no one answered, Dong Wenyong continued: "Don't say that you are going to lose today, you can win. With the strength of Mongolia, it can't be weakened by one or two small victories. The herdsmen on the grassland There is no need for training, you can form an army by recruiting them, the vast territory of the Mongolian Kingdom is vast, and it can accommodate Han, Khitan, Jurchen, and Semuren, and you can form an army in a short while..."

Li Xia ignored him.

It's really annoying to hear such boastful remarks about foreign bandits.

But the question of strength and weakness is the simplest, and there is no need to argue.

After the battle is over, there will naturally be results.

Li Xia raised the binoculars and watched for a while, and saw that A Shu pushed the Chinese army up, completely breaking through Liu Jinsuo's defense line regardless of casualties.

Liu Jinsuo was defeated, so he could only lead his troops to retreat to the shallow water plateau in the northeast.

Fifteen thousand Mongolian cavalry rushed past like a torrent.The camp where the Song army dug ditches and built fortifications stood in the torrent like a rock, and it was also like a gate.

Only then did Li Xia turn around and walk down the wall.

He was already wearing armor, so he went straight to the school yard in the city and got on his horse.

……

Dong Wenyong looked at Li Xia's back, and also felt the murderous aura of the Song County King and Chuanshan Shuai.

The look of disdain on his face subsided a lot.

To be honest, there is nothing to disdain for him as a defeated general, but he admires Li Xia a little.

Just look at the wars since this period of time, beheading Shiquan, attacking Dengzhou, defeating Shi Tianze, annihilating Liuzheng, defending Tongguan, restoring Jindouguan, aiding Longxi, blocking Ashu... non-stop, how many people in the world can to this extent.

Dong Wenyong didn't even see a tired look on Li Xia's face. He must be very tired, but he didn't show it.

It is this iron will that teaches people to be convinced.

Perhaps Dong Wenyong admired Li Xia more than this...but he was still unwilling to surrender.

Because his family is still in the north.

However, even if he did not vote, Dong Wenyong's capture would inevitably bring a lot of trouble to the Dong family.

At that time, Li Xia will definitely use him to alienate Dong Wenbing again, just like he did with Shang Ting and Zhao Bi last year.

Even without these tricks, how could Kublai Khan's trust in the Dong family not be shaken?

Dong Wen was anxious in his heart, looking at the battle in the north, he couldn't help thinking: "If Li Xia loses, there may be a chance to escape."

As for who wins and loses in today's battle?From the looks of it now, Dong Wenyong still thinks that Ashu's troops are stronger...

~~
The battle lasted only an hour, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

There were only 3000 people in Liu Jinsuo's department, but they occupied a favorable location and had firearms, trenches, and fortresses. In fact, they caused more damage.

The Mongolian army achieved its goal of breaking through the Song army's defense line, so its morale was greatly boosted.

And after breaking through the line of defense, the Mongolian cavalry could finally run, and they were already winning.

……

"Hold on!"

Liu Jinsuo has led the troops back to Qianshuiyuan, and is desperately organizing a defense line, signaling to hold the platform.

However, the terrain in this area was much wider. When the Mongolian army rained down arrows, the soldiers of the Song army fell to the ground one after another, or they were overtaken by the Mongolian cavalry and hacked to death.

Seeing that Liu Jinsuo's soldiers and horses were about to be surrounded, Yang Ben finally led the cavalry around from the south of Gaochao City.Insert the forward soldiers and horses of the Mongolian army obliquely.

"Surround them!"

The cavalry of the Song Army first separated the two thousand Mongolian troops rushing to the front from the large formation of the Mongolian army, and joined forces with Liu Jinsuo's troops to encircle them.

Yang Ben already knew how to use cavalry flexibly to cut through the enemy's formation.

This style of play is like cutting an ox in an orderly way with one knife at a time... This is the tactic that Mongolian cavalry are best at.

"Kill!"

Through the densely packed crowd, A Shu had already seen the situation, and commanded the Chinese army to attack Yang Ben's troops.

So far, the war has been going well for him.

His only concern was being held back.

This is in the Song Dynasty, the longer it is dragged on, the more dangerous it is.

But at this moment, Ashu's entire army formation was at its most chaotic. The troops in front of him had just broken through Liu Jinsuo's line of defense, but they were surrounded by Yang Ben.

The Chinese army is quickly replenishing, trying to form an anti-encirclement of Yang Ben's troops.

Just at this time, the gate of Gaochai city was opened wide, and the drums were beating loudly at the top of the city.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

The third force of the Song Army entered the battle formation at this time, and came out of Gaochao City with the sound of horseshoes.

Looking back at the entire battle, although the Mongolian army's 3000 troops were fully suppressing the Song army's defense line from the beginning, only the front two to [-] men could really face the Song army.

This is due to the terrain, and the Mongolian army cannot deploy its troops.

Gao Qi blocked in the middle, making the Mongolian army form a formation close to the long snake, which is the most unfavorable.

However, although the Song army divided its troops into three groups, they have already used the terrain to maximize the combat power of each group...

I saw a king's flag coming out of the city, and the cavalry of the Song army seemed like an arrow, hitting the middle of the Mongolian army.

There, there is also a high fort built by the Song Army, which prevents the Mongolian cavalry from moving flexibly and can only fight hand-to-hand with the Song cavalry.

Li Xia is like the front arrow of this arrow, riding his horse to the front.

But he didn't regard himself as the arrow's edge, but a big axe.

He wanted to strike heavily like a big axe, splitting the Mongolian army into two.

But the Mongolian soldiers turned their heads to look, and wanted to draw their bows and arrows, when the group of armored cavalrymen had already bumped into them.

"Puff puff……"

The long lance stabbed the Mongolian pawns and broke into the formation.

　There is a reward from the leader "blackmoon413". I am very grateful for this support. I was thinking about adding updates yesterday and today. I will see when I can write it.
