Chapter 104 Cavalry and Song Dynasty
He did not answer Zhao Xu's question, which made Zhao Xu, who was shaking the fan, sneer.
"Da Song, see if you want cavalry or Da Song!"
The last time Hassan talked about the Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu's heart moved. Maybe he might not be strong enough to deal with Zhao Fubo, but he could see that the Mongols knew very little about firearms.
"No wonder they suffered such a big loss when they dealt with Mu Shuyi last time. After all, the Mongols still don't know how to play with firearms!"
While he was talking, suddenly there were a series of explosions coming from the front. Zhao Xu didn't care about this in his heart and hurriedly raised his telescope to look into the distance. Fireballs soared into the air on the mountain road, and his cavalry were overturned to the ground in the explosion.
"What's going on..."
These are two "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbows" transferred by the Mu Tuyi people. They are arranged in nearby mountains, exerting their maximum range, and launching attacks on Zhao Xu's men in the marching.
"Master Xu...Master Xu, He Longwei reported that the front army was attacked!"
Zhao Xu had already had some experience in dealing with the attacks of the Mu Shuyi people. The distance between his cavalrymen was quite large when they marched. He had long expected that he would encounter the interception of the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow", and he had already thought of a solution.
"Call He. Long Guards don't have to worry. The entire musketeer cavalry retreats from the enemy's artillery range, and the infantry is on guard!"
With Zhao Xu's order, the bronze horn of retreating sounded. Under the torture of the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow" shells, the musketeers retreated like a tide. In fact, there were many injured people who were brought back together by their comrades. The screams along the way were unbearable to hear them.
On the other hand, Zhao Xu was not worried about such a thing. After putting down the telescope in his hand, the big fan still shook slowly. Prince Kublai Khan couldn't understand his plan and looked at Zhao Xu calmly in surprise. During the battle ahead, Prince Kublai Khan had also been hit by the "Flying Swallow Iii type crossbow" by the wooden stinger. However, the opponent only blocked it at that time and would leave immediately. So this time, after the troops were divided into two groups, the combination of "Flying Swallow Iii type crossbow" became easier.
"Master Xu, He Qi is ashamed!"
He Qi ran back to Zhao Xu, looking dejected. This made Zhao He, who was following Zhao Xu, look at him and sneer. However, Zhao Xu did not blame He Qi for his retreat at all, but instead comforted him gently.
"Oh, He. What does Longwei have to do with you when retreating? It's the retreating call from Master Xu. I want the call to call the soldiers. You don't have to blame yourself. Go back to the camp seriously and deal with the injured number. Tonight we will eat the two crossbows for him!"
Prince Kublai Khan didn't say anything, and at this time he looked at the distance with a telescope. Originally, he wanted Zhao Xu to scold his subordinates, but it was probably not appropriate to look at him. Therefore, he held the telescope in his hand and looked far ahead.
The curved mountain road forms a "w" shape there, and if you want to go there, you will be attacked by the crossbows opposite the mountain stream. This is unimaginable. Unless you go around, anyone who passes here will suffer huge losses. Moreover, looking at the power of the crossbows, you are afraid that you can watch it on the cliff opposite, and you can see it with one man and ten thousand man. However, neither Zhao Xu nor the Mongolians have such long-range weapons in their hands, and can fight against the opponent's artillery fire.
After comforting He Qi, Zhao Xu ordered the entire army to set up camp. This made Prince Kublai doubt whether he was not sincere in cooperating with the Mongols, otherwise he would not be active in fighting any war. He had just started today, and it was less than two hours later, so how could he stop?
Facing the questioning expression on Prince Kublai Khan's face, Zhao Xu shook the fan, but continued to discuss the issues of cavalry and the Song Dynasty with him. Obviously, this is an attitude, that is, no one can command him, Zhao Xu's subordinates.
"Prince, let's continue our words. What I just said is that with the Song Dynasty, what does the prince think? "
Prince Kublai Khan didn't know how to answer Zhao Xu's inquiry. In his eyes, the wealth of the Song Dynasty should be much richer than other countries he had seen. At this moment, he only looked at Baghdad, the capital of the Arab Empire. At this moment, he had seen the territory of Musaiyi people, and heard Sain Khanba talk about his experiences along the way to Huangsha City, and he had already seen what the Arabs couldn't afford.
At least the wealth of the Song Dynasty was much stronger than that of Arab Xiu. If the world was like the Arab Empire, it would be better not to be the case. To take over the Song Dynasty seriously, it would be considered to be truly rich.
"Why do you want cavalry or Song dynasty?"
Listening to Zhao Xu's questioning, Prince Kublai Khan played a trick. With just one sentence, he kicked the ball to his elder brother General Mengge.
"I think we can always talk about this matter. But we can't solve the problem. You have to know that General Mengge is the one who can decide not to hide this matter. I... Although I have some ideas, it can't play a decisive role!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Zhao Xu suddenly burst into laughter. He knew the reason why the Mongolians sent this prince Kublai Khan. Although it was not a sure thing for him to go back to the Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu might as well say it now, and it would be easy to talk to them in the future. Even if the Mongolian army is powerful, he can ask them to take more things out and part. However, this topic should not be discussed in depth now, just let them know that they have the same heart.
"My Prince, please don't be nervous. Zhao Xu is just a lie. As the saying goes, the world is home, so wherever you go, although you have a homeland, how can you go so easily to get back to this journey of thousands of miles?"
Prince Kublai sighed in his heart. He knew his shirk just now, but he had already seen his thoughts for Zhao Xu. At this moment, when Zhao Xu said, his words to go back to the Song Dynasty were just a sentence to test people. This made Prince Kublai have the following commentator for Zhao Xu.
"This guy is not easy to deal with, and he can't take it right at all. But he twisted the cavalry with Da Song together, but what should I think of a way to get him to equip me with a cavalry?"
Although the cavalry led by He Qi just suffered a little loss under the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow" of the Mutuals, Prince Kublai Khan completely understood the power of the musket cavalry. He just liked such an army, but unfortunately he also liked the Song Dynasty.
