The army retreated, but Lin Heng, who was unhappy, still left a great gift to the Mongolian army, which was to set the entire road on fire. He asked the soldiers to take out the remaining kerosene and spread it on the remaining
A few hundred meters along the road, a fire was lit. According to his estimate, this fire road could hold off the Mongolian army for at least one day.
Taking advantage of this day, he could make arrangements and use his brains on the wave of Mongol cavalry that had been extracted.
In the Chinese army camp, Lin Heng smiled and said to Guo Jing and Huang Rong: "Brother Guo, are you and your wife interested in meeting those Mongolian cavalry?"
"Brother Lin wants us and my husband to lead an army to stop the Mongolian cavalry?" Huang Rong frowned slightly. Lin Heng shook his head and said: "I'm afraid we can't stop the Mongolian cavalry together, but we can still cause some trouble for them.
"Mrs. Guo, that's what I think..." Lin Heng expressed his thoughts. His method was very simple, which was to let Guo Jing and Huang Rong lead the martial arts people and Beggar Gang disciples to stop the Mongolian cavalry, but they
The best way to stop them is not to block them head-on, but to attack and kill them at night when it is dark or when they are resting. The best thing is to set up some more traps to delay their speed. Otherwise, when the Mongolian cavalry comes, they may be here.
We can no longer stop the Mongolian army.
After hearing this, both of them understood what Lin Heng meant and immediately nodded in agreement. Qi Gong originally wanted to go, but Lin Heng stopped him with a smile, saying that he could still be of great use.
"Qi Gong, we are now in the plains. If we want to stop the Mongolian cavalry here, we can only rely on spearmen and archers. Just letting them go up like this may not work, so I want Qi Gong to organize Beggar Gang disciples to fight in small groups.
Formation assault on the Mongolian cavalry. The leader is none other than you."
There are many disciples of the Beggar Gang in the army. They have little effect in the battle between the two armies. They can only conduct sneak attacks at night. However, the Mongolian army is too large. Even if they attack by sneak attacks, they cannot penetrate deeply, so they will not cause any harm to the Mongolian army.
Too much damage. At this time, the two armies were already on the plains. Lin Heng could only think of some ways to deal with the Mongolian cavalry.
His method was very simple, that is, he would put all the heavy spearmen and spearmen on top, and arrange some Beggar Clan disciples on both sides, so that the Beggar Clan disciples would rush into the cavalry camp in groups of three or five, kill them, and disrupt their movements.
The force of impact.
After hearing this, Qi Gong nodded and promised that he would stop the Mongolian cavalry and prevent them from disrupting Lin Heng's arrangement.
After thinking about how to deal with the Mongolian cavalry, Lin Heng began to think about how to deal with the 200,000 Mongolian infantry. Facing such a large army, small conspiracies can only be condiments, but what Lin Heng wants is this condiment, but how to use it
What about condiments?
Looking at the open space in front of the army, Lin Heng thought of using a trap, but he immediately rejected it. The infantry was not as rampant as the cavalry when it came forward. The traps were of little use. At most, they only blocked the advance of some infantry.
"We don't have much time. Regardless of whether it's useful or not, let's arrange it first!" Shaking his head, Lin Heng summoned the messenger and asked him to call a thousand soldiers. Lin Heng ordered them to take out the iron nails they had prepared earlier.
. He asked the soldiers to take iron nails to the flat ground in front of the camp, commanded the soldiers, and asked them to bury the iron nails on the ground, and gently drew a line for the commanders to remember, lest they themselves
soldiers stepping on iron nails.
After setting up the first trap, Lin Heng withdrew outside the camp and dug a ravine again. This time, there were no trees on both sides, so he had to nail the oilcloth to the ground with wooden stakes, and then smash the wooden stakes into the ground.
Above. In this way, people who don’t know will not be able to see this trap.
Lin Heng then set up a third trap. For this last trap, he gritted his teeth and let the soldiers do it, because this trap could only rely on luck. He asked the soldiers to share three days' worth of food, and the rest were the same.
Mixed with poison. In his opinion, they must evacuate within three days, and they must pretend to be evacuating, leaving everything else here. If the Mongols are not careful enough and eat the poisonous food, then God will help.
; If they find out, it will be like throwing away the food in vain.
The day passed quickly, and the fire in the mountain road had been extinguished. The Mongolian army rushed out immediately. Lin Heng and others had already set up their formation and quietly watched the army rush out of the mountain road.
At first, the army looked endless and impressive in the mountain road. However, it was somewhat less shocking. After all, this was an army of 300,000. Now when they came out, their posture was completely relaxed.
, the dense black clouds completely suppressed the momentum of the Song Army. With this spectacular sight alone, the Song Army was already defeated.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Heng hit the big flag with a heavy wave of his hand. When the Song Army saw the command signal, groups of sergeants immediately walked out in formation. At the front were naturally the sword and shield soldiers, followed by the spear soldiers, and then
They were the archers. What was strange was that Lin Heng kept the swordsmen with him and did not let them enter the battlefield.
Tens of thousands of troops set up their formation, shouting and killing, but compared to the Song army, the Mongolian army showed no weakness, and when they set up their formation, their momentum was much stronger than that of the Song army.
The two armies moved forward slowly. When the Song army came to the long line drawn by Lin Heng, they suddenly stopped. The Mongolian troops did not stop and continued to move forward. Seeing that the two armies were about to collide, suddenly something happened
Shouts of pain rang out, and the soldiers in the front row of the Mongolian army suddenly hid on the ground. The Song army would not give up such a good opportunity, and the people in front immediately took out their swords without hesitation and chopped down those who fell on the ground.
The Mongolians saw their brothers in front of them hiding on the ground for no reason, and then being killed one by one by the Song army. They immediately stepped forward, but most of them fell to the ground like the people in front of them. The Mongolian generals saw that something was wrong and immediately
He shouted and stopped the stopped army.
At this time, the two armies were less than two meters apart.
The two armies looked at each other so closely, refusing to give in to each other, and among them, there were many Mongolian corpses piled up. Although the moment just now was short, a lot of people died. Think about it.
, there were more than 100,000 people on both sides arranged on the plain. You might not notice anything when you look at them, but they grew longer horizontally. In just that moment, most of the Mongolians in the horizontal line were killed, and most of them were at least three or four thousand people.
"The Song army is despicable. They must have done something to the ground..." General Meng shouted. He ordered the swordsmen to retreat. The spearmen stepped forward and poked the ground in front of them. Soon, they pulled out the iron nails one by one.
. General Meng's nose was twisted with anger when he saw this. This little iron nail actually took the lives of three or four thousand of his people. This is really unbearable.
"Pull out the iron nails and rush for me!"
There were not many iron nails, so they were swept aside by the Mongolian army's spear, and then the two armies fought together. At the same time, the Mongolian cavalry behind also rushed out. When Hong Qigong saw it, he immediately led the rest
The pikemen and Beggar Clan disciples stopped him.
The pikemen were in the center, forming a half-moon shape, with the Beggar Clan disciples protruding from both sides. When the Mongolian cavalry rushed forward, the pikemen immediately drew out their guns to stop the Mongolian cavalry. At the same time, under the order of Hong Qigong, the Beggar Clan disciples fired three
A small group of people rushed into the thousands of horses, killing and injuring the cavalry.
Standing behind the army, Lin Heng stared intently at the battlefield on both sides, and his hands holding the horse's reins broke out in cold sweat.
This battle was a real fight between the two armies, much more intense than the previous ones. Standing behind, Lin Heng could see the flying severed limbs and the flowing blood. If there wasn't that pungent smell, maybe this would have happened.
It was a very sad and beautiful picture, but standing here now, Lin Heng only felt miserable.
As the commander-in-chief of the army, he could only suppress the discomfort in his heart and kept waving the flag in his hand to make the front army, which suffered heavy casualties, retreat, while the rear army continued to fight. In order to preserve combat power, Lin Heng did not let the rear army take the initiative.
Instead, the front troops were completely withdrawn.
In this way, groups of soldiers continued to retreat from the battlefield and gathered around him again. However, he could see that without counting them in detail, almost everyone who came back was injured, and the number was much smaller.
In front, the Mongolian army pressed forward. When the place was released, more and more of their armies began to surround us.
Five thousand people lined up horizontally, ten teams lined up, and three teams fought, a total of 50,000 soldiers. When they completely retreated to Lin Heng's side, the number of people left was less than 20,000. This astonishing number of casualties made
Lin Heng was shocked. He immediately looked towards the cavalry. There were also many Song soldiers who died under the Mongolian cavalry, but he couldn't tell how many there were specifically at this time.
"The heavy spearmen blocked the cavalry and the infantry on both sides and cut the rope!"
Lin Heng issued the last order, and then led the army to retreat slowly. Immediately, the heavy spearmen were divided on both sides to block the cavalry's attack. At the same time, two people slashed at the ground.
With a bang, the oilcloth broke, and a horizontal ditch suddenly appeared on the flat ground. The Mongolian soldiers who stepped on it fell down, and the infantry behind them were also blocked on the opposite side.
"Damn it, it's this move again!"
General Meng roared angrily, but although Lin Heng's move was simple, it was very practical. You see, this ravine is more than two meters deep and more than two meters wide. The infantry cannot cross it at all, unless they risk their lives and jump down to climb out of the ravine.
Of course, if they were on a mountain road, they would have no choice but to make peace, but it was different on this plain. General Na Meng immediately directed his army to move to both sides, preparing to bypass the ravine and continue the attack.
However, as soon as his army took action, the Song army fired an overwhelming rain of arrows. General Meng immediately shouted to avoid it and asked the archers to fight back. However, the Song army's attack did not stop. After the first wave of arrows, a
Waves of stones also rained down, followed by arrows, and then stones... The two went back and forth non-stop, giving the Mongols no chance at all.
Seeing this, General Meng had no choice but to temporarily retreat the army.
As soon as the Mongolian infantry retreated, the cavalry suddenly appeared. Lin Heng immediately commanded the army and asked them to go forward and kill the cavalry. Of course, those cavalry were not stupid, and they immediately retreated.
In this way, the first confrontation on the plains ended.
