But the dozens of elite cavalry led by Liu Baduer were not hindered. Although three cavalrymen were pierced through their vests by lead balls, and their mounts fell to the ground with the rider, the rest followed Liu Baduer tightly and lie on the saddle bridge. The whole team was like an extremely sharp feather arrow, stabbed into the Song army's long snake formation. Watermark advertising test Watermark advertising test

The two commanders watching the battle on the ridge did not look panicked. Yang ordered the flag to wave it. A team of soldiers rushed up from the hillside to support. The leader was Chen Yingrui, who was still wearing vermilion armor. He carried two swords on his back, held an iron spear in his hand, and led his team toward the Mongolian soldiers who were tearing the spearmen of the army at the foot of the mountain.

Before he reached the battlefield, the situation ahead had changed, and this change caught the soldiers and generals on both sides off guard.

When Liu Baduer killed a spearman with one sword, a dazzling white light burst out in front of him, and then he was overturned and dismounted by the frightened war horse. This was a musketman who did not ignite the medicine line in the volley because of excessive panic and did not have time to fire. When he ignited the medicine line again with his trembling hands, he found that a Mongolian general was about to rush in front of him.

An accidental mistake caused an unexpected change in the battlefield. Both sides did not react for a while. They just continued to fight and looked around looking for instructions from above.

It was the Mongolian side that responded first. With the loud scolding of a hundred household chief, Liu Baduer's personal companion hurriedly dragged the tiger general who was shot on his shoulder out of the siege of Song Bing. Fortunately, they reacted in time enough. After a moment, they realized that a great achievement was right in front of them and wanted to capture the unlucky enemy general who was shot down by the Song army. But at this time, the Mongolian army had already gathered many people around Liu Baduer. While fighting with the Song Bing, they covered Liu Baduer's retreat. Once they had a little escape from contact with the Song Bing, they would immediately ride on the war horse and flee.

When Chen Yingrui led the team to the front, all he saw was the back of a horse riding from afar, and the smoke and dust stirred by the horse's hooves. He stood angrily at the foot of the mountain and shouted loudly, and the voice even reached the top of the mountain. Zheng Yunming smiled helplessly and sighed to Yang Xuan: "With such a strong fighting spirit, I don't know whether it is a good or a bad thing for him."

"Whooing and wanting to fight is always better than being afraid of the enemy." Yang Shu said calmly while packing up the different styles of the flags in his hand: "The country has been weak for three hundred years, because there are too few soldiers who are willing to work hard and too many bastards who just want to make a living. If half of the generals since the founding of the country could rush forward without hesitation in the face of the spear formation, the country would not have left only half of the mountains and rivers to fight against the millions of Mongolia's elite soldiers."

Zheng Yunming stopped talking, but just held the sword on his waist and looked at the mountains and fields in the south. There were more and more Mongolian troops gathering, but the land of victory was already occupied by the Song army. What strategy should Tasi, as his old opponent, use? To solve the problem of Fengbuya?

When Liu Baduer was sent to the Mongolian camp, Tasi was listening carefully to the report of a detective Ma Chi. He walked to Liu Baduer in three or two steps and carefully observed his injuries. Although the gun was very powerful, fortunately, his accuracy was slightly worse and he just came over his shoulders. Liu Baduer probably just rushed too hard and hit him too hard when he fell from the horse's back, so he has not yet woken up.

He instructed: "Go and invite Weiwuer's medical officer to treat Liu Baduer well, and don't waste time."

Several soldiers came forward and carried Liu Baduer down. Although Liu Baduer was not severely injured by the Song army in this battle, he could hurt a brave general like him in one confrontation, proving that the Song army on the opposite side was not an ordinary unit.

Tasi turned around and asked, "Xiao Dalaer, what do you think? How strong is the Sinan Si army that guards this mountain this time?"

Xiao Dalaer, a ten thousand Khitan, bowed and bowed. Originally, under the rule of the Jurchens, many Khitans in Liaodong had already become sinicized. However, since Yelu Liuge revived the power of the Khitan, many Khitans shaved their hair and changed their clothes, and returned to the typical Khitan outfit. Xiao Dalaer held his head in his hand, revealing his luminous head, which looked like a tribe from the grassland. He said in a rough voice: "In my opinion, it must be the elite troops of the Sinansi people. However, for Sinansi people, none of them are the king's opponents, just arrange the attack with care."

Tasi laughed, then changed his color and asked, "What if Zheng Yunming came here?"

"That's best, but if you annihilate Zheng Yunming here." Xiao Dalaer replied without any haste: "It would be easy for the king to take Xiangyang City out of Naqu."

Tasi stared at him for a while, as if trying to see what the Khitan was thinking. After a while, he said, "Since that's the case, there's only one last way to go."

Chen Yingrui panted and pulled the iron spear out of the corpse of the Mongolian soldiers. This was the twelfth Mongolian soldier to kill today. During the fierce battle for nine consecutive days, he had already killed hundreds of Mongolian soldiers who were attacking the mountains. He leaned on the corpses of the Song and Mongolian army on the ground, and the black flag burning on the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse of the corpse

Since the failure of the harassment operation, Tasi seemed to have given up his attempt to obstruct the Song army from building positions. Instead, he divided the troops into ten teams and sent one team to attack Fengbu Cliff every day. This is an orthodox tactic of siege cities and attacking the high slopes. He used his own numerical advantage to constantly exhaust the defenders, causing them to gradually lose their ability and will to fight.

"According to this attack mode, tomorrow will be the general attack." Yang Xuan leaned over and picked up a Mongolian feather arrow. "These are newly built feather arrows recently. There are not many arrows with the Mongols. They are anxious to break the place and go back to meet with the main force."

Zheng Yunming said, "He is anxious to meet and see if we are willing to give up Fengbu Cliff. Over the past few days, he has used more than 15,000 troops, and we have only used 7,700 people. As long as Tasi launches a general attack tomorrow, we can send all the remaining 5,000 new forces and catch him off guard."

But to his surprise, on the tenth day, Fengbu Cliff was not the expected fierce and extremely fierce attack, but a silence that made people feel a little scared. There was no whistle lord to monitor Fengbu Cliff defenders on the empty field. The hustle and bustle of the past nine days was like the scene of hell, and now it was as peaceful and quiet as an ordinary pastoral country.

"This is wrong. I have been attacking for nine days for nine days, but no soldier has come to attack today. This is not in line with the art of war at all." Zheng Yunming complained casually, and suddenly his heart moved: "Is it..."

Yang Xuan whispered: "Don't just guess the enemy's actions before collecting intelligence. The most urgent thing is to send spies immediately."

"That's right." Zheng Yun shouted: "Go and instruct Chen Yingrui, ask him to lead the 300 soldiers out and explore the reality of the Mongolian military camp!"

Chen Yingrui led 300 people to the forest road to investigate, and soon after, someone came to report. The Mongolian army camp had already gone empty, leaving only a few empty yurts, and even the bulky Lele cart was gone.

Yang Xu suddenly waved his fist: "It's mine, not. Even in the most intense battles, I cannot relax my reconnaissance against my opponents. I care too much about the powerful ability of the Mongolian cavalry to hunt and kill the sentry. In order to protect the lives of the sentry, I did not release the reconnaissance forces in time, so that Tasi had the opportunity to play such tricks."

"Don't be upset. Tasi's destination will definitely be Zaoyang. Then the army will turn to Xiangyang. You stay here and continue to lead the troops. Guangsan spies will track down the traces of the Mongols. I will return to Yingzhou to discuss with General Meng Gong how to rescue Xiangyang."

"You can take five thousand soldiers away. There are not so many people here." Yang Xuan said.

Zheng Yunming was stunned and asked subconsciously: "What if Ta Si returns?"

"I will definitely not. The Mongols are now all their minds on Xiangyang. He Tasi killed a horseback and spear to break through Fengbu Cliff. Do you want to do a protracted siege under the city of Yingzhou? He set up a suspicion to withdraw his troops, just to find other roads in Dahong Mountain to Zaoyang. This is the Mongols' strength of the wings. Their cavalry group can advance a hundred miles a day and night, and there is no need to compete with us for a while."

"It's enough to leave only 1,500 people here to guard. Remember, the ultimate goal of the Mongols and ours is still Xiangyang." Yang Xuan said calmly: "I think Yingzhou is no longer within their consideration."

When Zheng Yunming and his troops rushed back to Yingzhou, Meng Gong also said almost the same thing to him.

"The focus of the Mongols is no longer in the south of Yingzhou, but in Xiangyang." When he said this, he was standing on the busy and chaotic Han River. The entire Han River was filled with military ships and baggage ships coming from the downstream. Just in Zheng Yunming's eyes, there were hundreds of ships, which were hundreds of thousands of ships, but most of them were just rafts and bamboo rafts, and it was best to be just temporary robbery civilian ships. Most of the people who were moored here this time were warships for naval troops.
