In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 531 Mongolian Army versus Mongolian Army

Seeing Tasi turn around and leave, Orda immediately returned to the formation and waved his hands at the same time.

Soldiers from both sides began to take action.

"Woo." Guyu's side blew the horn of attack first.

At this time, Guiyou was surrounded by many powerful generals, including many Han generals who were brought from the northern part of the Central Plains.

The more famous ones include Tasi, Hu Shengsun, Tuochala, Suhuncha, Chongxi, Shi Tianze, Shi Tianan, Liu Heima, Shi Xingzu and Yan Zhongji (Yan Shi's son).

Tasi led troops in Hebei Province all year round. At this time, he slowly returned to Guyu and said calmly: "Batu's troops have been fighting in the west and have no idea how powerful the Song army is. Their tactics are outdated. When Teach them a lesson."

The generals all around nodded, and many Han generals did not take Batu's men seriously.

Batu is in the hearts of most Mongolians, and he is still considered the number one general among the Mongols, but where did he fight?

What we were attacking was the uncivilized slave society in Europe, and what we were attacking were the wooden castles and mud houses in Europe that didn’t even have stone walls.

Two hundred steps.

The combined number of both sides was close to 100,000 cavalry, which was really overwhelming and stretched as far as the eye could see.

On the other hand, Guyou's troops had been suppressed by the Song army for a long time in the past ten years. They had experienced countless defeats and their morale was obviously not as good as the opponent's.

Great Mongolia cannot be regarded as the first civil war. When Temujin ruled and conquered various tribes, he went through more brutal killings than here. It was just that the time between them was a bit long, and the two sides were a little hesitant at the beginning.

Amidst the mournful neighing of horses, people fall off their horses every moment. Some people can stand up after falling off their horses, but some people can never get up.

"Don't be anxious, wait for the artillery to arrive." Tasi said: "Delay them first."

With the rumble of horse hooves hitting the earth, the whole earth seemed to tremble.

The vast land was filled with men and horses from both sides. The forwards of both sides fought together, and arrows in the air were dense like rain.

When Shi Tianze and others were in Hebei, they learned how to build artillery from the Song Dynasty, but Badu didn't pay much attention to it.

Guyuk had always been dissatisfied with Batu during the Western Expedition and had quarreled with Batu many times. Of course, he had to give Batu's men a good look at this meeting and let him know that the elites of the Northland left behind by his father Khan were the real ones. Elite.

But Guiyou was not in a hurry. Seeing that the forward was frustrated, he immediately issued an order: "Shrink the defense and follow the Song army's instructions."

As for being unable to defeat the Song people, that's because the Song people's weapons are too advanced, and it would be the same if it were you Batu.

After only fighting for a while, Guyu found that his forward seemed to be defeated by Orda's forward.

No matter how bad the Song Army and the Jin Army are, they are still conventional armies.

The armor coverage rate of both sides is about the same, but the quality of the armor on Batu's side is not as good as that of Guyou. Guyou's side is already learning from the cotton armor used by the Song Army. In addition, it is November now. Whether it is cold protection or defense, Guyou's side is better. Slightly upper hand.

While several people were talking, the forwards from both sides began to move forward.

Orda brought Batu's most elite soldiers and horses, and he almost never suffered a defeat, so his morale was very high and his will to fight was very strong.

But the artillery was difficult to move. They arrived first, and thousands more people came slowly from behind with hundreds of Hongwu cannons.

Many farmers from Jiyali took hoes and went into battle to fight the Mongolian army.

The crowd was divided into three groups, and those whose names had just been called were already running in their respective directions.

The people here in Tasi have been fighting with the Song Army and the Jin Army for many years, and the strength and quality of the opponents on both sides are completely different.

Not to mention the armor of both sides, the European armor rate is not half as good as that of the Song and Jin Dynasties.

With a rumble, the soldiers and horses of both sides began to move to both sides. Soon, the forward troops changed the fastest. The two armies were chasing each other and seemed to be kiting each other. Similar tactics, sometimes separated and sometimes gathered together.

One hundred steps.

Both sides were considered Mongolian troops, and the intense exchange of fire only lasted a few rounds.

O'er replied that it was still the same routine as during the Western Expedition, and the entire army was divided into three waves, corresponding to Guiyou's three groups.

After entering seventy steps, swish, swish, Guiyou took the lead in shooting an arrow.

At this time, many kingdoms in Europe had just entered feudal society, and some were even considered slaves, which was exactly the same system as Srivijaya.

They started to speed up after reaching 500 steps, and they were getting faster and faster.

So in Tasi's view, Batu's so-called elites can beat the Europeans, but who is better than them?
Facts have proven that later Kublai Khan's troops, mainly Han troops, defeated Ali Buge, mainly Mongolian Western Expedition troops, and won the battle for the throne.

Seventy steps.

They had also practiced Song army tactics in the past few years, but they never thought they could be used against their own clan.

"Kill" I don't know who shouted first.

The scene was very spectacular. After entering three hundred steps, Guyu also began to speed up.

"Send the order, rejoice, Shi Tianze from the left, quick investigation, Liu Heima from the middle, Shi Xingzu, Yan Zhongji from the right -" Guiyou assigned the troops and horses, and asked to look back to see where the artillery was.

"How long will it take for the artillery to arrive?" Guyuk wanted to teach Batu a lesson in the Song Dynasty way.

No one can answer this question. The artillery is still far away now, so they can only wait.

Then the shouts of killing rose into the sky, tens of thousands of people on both sides were building their momentum, and their horses were getting faster and faster.

According to Guiyou's request, the Mongolian-Han coalition forces here slowly moved forward to delay time.

It turned out that Guyu also brought artillery from the camp.

As the forwards intertwined, a steady stream of soldiers and horses came from behind. Both sides were a little red-eyed. No matter whether they were of the same race or not, they just wanted to win and survive on the battlefield.

As the horns and flags changed, the Mongolian troops in Guyuk's tribe began to retreat and shrink their formation.

A large number of gun and shield soldiers in the middle moved forward.

The vanguard retreated from the flanks of the pikemen, and the infantry archers followed behind the pikemen and shield soldiers.

When Orda's soldiers and horses caught up, there was a crackle and a burst of roar in the air, and dense rifle bows were fired towards the opposite side like a frenzy.

An infantry bow can shoot farther than a horse bow, and Orda's cavalry was shot down before they arrived.

Moreover, all of them in the front row were holding large shields from the Song Army, forming a defensive line.

O'erda's forwards charged several times, but failed to kill Guiyou's men in the front row. Instead, they suffered heavy losses.

Batu was not here at this time, and Orda's ability to lead troops was far inferior to Batu's. He could only keep letting people come forward in turn, trying to shoot down the front row of gun and shield soldiers.

However, the subordinates believed that there were a large number of infantry archers on the opposite side. Their range was farther than theirs and they were more numerous. They would suffer a loss in the shooting.

O'er asked, aren't they all cavalry on the other side?
The subordinates said that the people on the other side might have imitated the Song army. The cavalry brought infantry bows, and then dismounted and shot on foot.

That's right, many of the foot bows were used by the Han army. They learned from the Song army's horseback riding and foot bows.

At this time, Guiyou obviously had many soldiers and horses, but he was on the defensive. Or'er replied that he had slightly fewer soldiers and horses, but he kept attacking.

On the surface, Orda was still at an advantage, which made Orda wrongly judge his own abilities.

For the first time, he thought that he could defeat Guyu when his brother Batu was not around.

The two Mongolian armies were fighting inextricably, and it was impossible to tell the winner for a while.

Just as the two sides were fighting in a bloody battle on the huge battlefield.

There are also fast riders in the distance galloping in front of Guyu.

The two sides had been fighting for an hour, and Guyu finally received the news. The artillery was still fifty miles away.

"So slow?" Guyu was furious.

They used four horses to pull each artillery piece, and then each artillery piece was divided into twenty horses. The four horses took turns, and the pulls were changed immediately after a quarter of an hour. There were dozens of civilians behind them who took turns pushing, trying their best to increase the speed. Unexpectedly, the distance Still fifty miles away.

If they only had fast horses and fifty miles, they would be able to join the battlefield in less than an hour. Now with artillery, the Sentinel Cavalry estimated that it would take at least an hour and a half, or even two hours, to join the battlefield.

Guiyou looked up at the sky. It was only morning now. In two hours, that is, in the afternoon, before dark, the artillery could still enter. If Orda was defeated before dark, he could pursue him for thousands of miles and pursue him all the way. To the Volga River.

"Hold on, you can't retreat." Guiyou ordered to the front.

Guyu just wanted to use the Song army's method to defeat Orda, but he didn't expect that the Han army here was more powerful than his own army.

Zuo Zuo Chongxi and Shi Tianze had already gained an advantage at this time.

The two men on the left wing have fifteen thousand cavalry. From the beginning to now, they have been shooting and rushing into the formation with Orda's men. Sometimes the two sides distance themselves and shoot at each other, sometimes they rush together and draw their swords to kill. At first, Chongxi and Shi Tianze were at a slight disadvantage. As Guiyou ordered to shrink, the two led their troops to withdraw from the formation.

After returning, six thousand Han troops dismounted their horses, put on their walking bows, and then fired at Or's troops in the distance.

The rest of the troops continued to guerrilla outside, focusing on stabilizing the defense line.

Orda's men charged in several waves, sometimes able to disperse Chongxi's cavalry. However, after charging closer, they were hit by dense rain of arrows from the enemy's infantry and bows, which turned them upside down and forced them to retreat.

This was repeated several times, and O'erda's people lost a lot, and even exceeded Guyu.

During Batu's Western Expedition, in all the battles combined, the number of bows and arrows encountered by the armies of various countries was not as many as what Guiyou brought today.

European countries do not focus on bows and arrows, and archers are difficult to train and there are few.

Now Orda's Western Expeditionary Army encountered enemies with more bows and arrows than them, and even had a longer range, and it was difficult to fight.

In particular, Shi Tianze had fought against the Song army many times and was very experienced. He personally commanded a group of nearly a thousand archers. He stood on a high place and saw which Mongolian army charged the most fiercely. He immediately waved a big flag: "Shoot." ”

There was a crackle, like firecrackers in the air, and a wave of arrows shot towards the opposite side.

Orda's men and horses were shot several times, and the offensive momentum suddenly slowed down.

Orda leaned on his horse and chose a high place, his mind racing rapidly.

His younger brother Batu didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and the battle was fought inexplicably. If he lost, his life would definitely be at stake.

He quietly looked at the huge battlefield. On the battlefield, the two sides were clearly separated, and there was no tussle. Because everyone was a Mongolian army, they knew each other too well. Shooting became the norm, and real hand-to-hand exchanges only occurred in certain areas.

After looking at it, Or'er replied, he would find that some soldiers and horses were confronting each other on both sides of the right wing, entering into a handover. The left wing was still mainly about shooting. In the middle, Guiyou was guarding with spears and shields, and counterattacked with infantry and bows. Or'er replied The soldiers and horses could only shoot back and forth from both sides.

The opponent's armor is more powerful than that of other European countries. Such glancing shots do not cause much damage and are difficult to shoot down in a short time. Some spearmen can be hit by several arrows in front of them.

To continue fighting like this is to waste time and waste money. Orda dare not waste time and waste money. This place is closer to the Yixi Mu River, and Guyu's soldiers and horses will come in more and faster.

"Have you found my brother Batu?" Orda turned around and asked again.

People around him said that many groups of people had been sent out in all directions, but there was no response for the time being.

The subordinates comforted Or'er and said, "We have put the boat on the Iximu River and made preparations. It will be fine."

Orda was silent for a moment, then turned and nodded to the general: "Take a thousand cavalry and return immediately to Salai City on the Fuerga River. Block the bridge that must be passed through to prevent Guiyu's troops from entering."

"No." The man immediately ordered his troops and left.

O'erda had already begun to plan a retreat at this time. If he could not defeat Guiyu, he would try to lead the main force and withdraw safely.

Just when O'erda wanted to give up and felt that there was nothing he could do about Guiyou.

Wow, suddenly the roar of mountains and tsunamis sounded in the distance.

He turned around first in horror, then in ecstasy.

The men and horses of Orda were roaring and roaring with excitement, and many people were cheering, as if to welcome the return of the king.

At this time, a fast horse was already rushing towards him, but Or'er replied that he knew without guessing that Batu was back.

really.

The fast rider ran to him like crazy: "Your Majesty - Your Majesty - Your Majesty is back."

"Okay." Or'er replied, extremely excited, and instantly felt that this battle would be won.

After a while, Orda finally saw Batu.

When I first saw it, I felt like Baliang Baliang in my heart.

Batu took his younger brother Bie'erge, Xiban, and two confidant generals. The four of them were disgraced. The lord of Sarai City, the future Khan, looked like a beggar.

"Big brother."

"Batu"

The two brothers almost burst into tears when they met.

But Batu reacted quickly. After hugging each other, the two brothers quickly separated: "How was the fight in front?"

"It's hard to tell the winner. Guiyu's style of play is like that of the Song Army."

"How long did it take?" Batu asked again.

"Almost an hour and a half." Or'er replied and looked at the sky.

"After sending people to stop it, the main force will withdraw from the battlefield immediately." Batu said decisively.

"What?" Or'er replied in disbelief. In his opinion, after Batu arrived at the scene, his morale had been greatly boosted, and he felt that he could fight again.

"There are many Han troops in Guiyou, and they have also built many artillery. After they occupied the copper mines in the Ishim River, they minted money and purchased iron materials from everywhere in the name of casting money to build artillery. Now their artillery, I'm afraid it's on its way."

Batu's analysis is really good. Guyu's artillery is coming soon.

Batu could divide his troops and ambush the artillery transport team, but after thinking about it, there was no reason to fight Guyu here.

This is Guiyou's territory. By the Ishim River, Torregona can gather more soldiers and horses.

"Let's go back to Fuerjiahe first." Batu said decisively.

"Where are Brother Meng and the others?"

"They have all gone to find their own troops. They should all be returning to the army."

As soon as the two brothers met, they prepared to withdraw their troops.

Opposite Guiyou did not expect Batu to escape.

When he saw the roar of the tsunami from the mountains of soldiers and horses on Batu's side, he knew that Batu was back alive.

Just when Guiyou was frightened and angry, someone from behind sent news that the artillery was almost here, still ten miles away.

Guyuk was overjoyed and ordered to send out five thousand cavalry to protect the artillery team, while preparing for an all-out counterattack. He thought that after Batu arrived, he would definitely launch another attack on them.

Then, his artillery will be able to teach Batu a lesson.

But as soon as his order was issued, wuwu, the retreat horn began to blow from the opposite side.
