"Sir, according to statistics, there were 12,000 injured in this war, 3,000 were seriously injured and could not fight, and 9,000 were slightly injured. In addition, more than 21,000 people died."
"Do you know the number of casualties of the Mongolian army?"
"When sorting out the corpses, the brothers paid attention. It is said that the number of their dead was between 13,000 and 15,000. As for how many people were injured, it is not clear!"
"Well, I understand, you go down!"
Waving his hand, Lin Heng sighed heavily. More than 20,000 people died and more than 10,000 people were injured. In just a short time, one-third of the 100,000-person team was gone.
"I had to use some tricks. Otherwise, ten thousand Mongolians might have died. This is really..."
Shaking his head, Lin Heng felt helpless. The gap between the two armies was quite big. The death toll was almost one to two. If the injured were added, it would be almost one to three. If this continues, one hundred thousand people would not be able to replace fifty thousand.
ah.
"Someone is coming!"
"Please give the order, General!"
The soldier outside the tent came in, and Lin Heng said to him: "Go and tell General Wang to send all the seriously injured brothers back to Xiangyang City, and escort 5,000 lightly injured people. In addition, ask the escort army to Xiangyang."
General Lu sent a message to the city to gather another 10,000 new soldiers and send them to the front line!"
"yes!"
'The casualties in a confrontation on the plains will be too great. Although we can kill a large number of Mongolians, if we continue like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on. It seems that I need to think about it carefully!'
Standing in the small tent, Lin Heng walked back and forth, thinking about the current situation in his mind.
If they retreat, they must retreat to the towns behind them and rely on the towns to kill and injure the Mongolians. If they do not retreat, Lin Heng feels that there is not much hope in the face of the Mongolian army, especially the Mongolian cavalry. The battle just now
, although they blocked the Mongolian cavalry, their own casualties were not small, and the Mongols were not stupid. Sooner or later, they would figure out a way. What if they pulled out their own troops and launched a large siege?
"Someone is coming!"
"exist!"
Another soldier ran into the tent, and Lin Heng ordered: "Go and tell the brothers below to have a good rest. We will fight again in the afternoon. Tell the brothers that we will evacuate tonight, so this battle must be fought."
good!"
"yes!"
After watching the soldiers go down, Lin Heng also walked out of the tent, found Hong Qigong, and told him his worries. Qigong also thought it was reasonable, so he nodded, and then the two discussed it carefully. First, they sent someone to notify him.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong asked them to retreat immediately before dark, and then Lin Heng arranged the retreat.
In the afternoon, before Lin Heng and others could send troops, the Mongols moved first. The ravine had long been leveled, and this time the Mongols also charged over with their cavalry as the vanguard.
Standing in front of the camp, Lin Heng let the army move to both sides, and attacked the cavalry with swordsmen and archers from behind. As for the few cavalry, Lin Heng sent them out to attack the infantry of the Mongolian army.
Standing on the command vehicle, Lin Heng watched the Mongolian cavalry rushing around, feeling very helpless. His arrangement was good, but the Song army was obviously unable to keep up with the cavalry, otherwise the cavalry would have been beaten in the first place.
, when the time comes to kill them all, even if there are breakthroughs, there won't be many. It's a pity that the Song Army's cooperation is too poor.
The Mongolian side saw its cavalry running back and forth among the Song army, and immediately issued an order for a general attack. First, groups of cavalry attacked from the front and both sides, and then the infantry army pressed forward.
Seeing that Mongolia was moving, Lin Heng immediately waved the military flag, and the last spearmen quickly lined up and stepped forward. At the same time, the trebuchets also began to throw boulders, and the front troops retreated.
At this time, the two armies were already fighting together. It was not easy to retreat. Even if Lin Heng made arrangements, he still could not withdraw all the troops, especially when the cavalry charged. He had no choice but to reluctantly abandon that part of the army.
In terms of military strength, archers were directly allowed to shoot at crowded places, regardless of the Song army or the Mongolian army.
Commanding the army, Lin Heng retreated step by step, and soon pushed into the camp, and the Mongolian army in front also pressed forward. He asked the messenger next to him to bring a torch, and lit the fence in front with a fire.
The piles, the wooden piles poured with kerosene, instantly ignited into a huge fire. As soon as the fire stopped, the Mongolians stopped, and the Song army also took the opportunity to quickly push into the camp.
"Retreat immediately!"
Lin Heng shouted, and then ordered people to set fire to all the tents, causing a huge fire. The thick black smoke made it difficult for the Mongols to see the situation in the camp, making them afraid to pursue them at will. Lin Heng took advantage of this opportunity,
Take the Song army out of the camp and quickly head to the town behind.
The Mongols were not stupid. Naturally, they could vaguely see the movement of tens of thousands of Lin Heng's army, so they sent out their cavalry early to block the Song army. Therefore, Lin Heng and others had just come out
Not long after entering the tent, I felt a large number of cavalry galloping on both sides.
"snort!"
Lin Heng snorted coldly, and immediately approached Hong Qigong, turning his head and whispering softly: "Qigong, gather all the Beggar Clan disciples and martial arts people, attack the cavalry on one side, and leave the other side to me.
Bar!"
Qi Gong nodded, and then greeted everyone to move to the left, while Lin Heng directed the army to move to the right. This time, because there was no infantry, he opened the door directly to bring in the cavalry.
On both sides, he deployed heavy spearmen, and behind him he deployed catapults, archers, and swordsmen. He believed that as long as the cavalry rushed in, they would never get out again.
However, Lin Heng still underestimated the power of the cavalry, and he also overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Song Army. Over there, the cavalry rushed in, and Lin Heng immediately ordered the trebuchets to throw stones and the archers to shoot. However, the cavalry was too fast.
, the two armies had not fired three rounds before they rushed over. Seeing this, Lin Heng quickly asked the sword team to come forward and chop off the horse's legs, and then the heavy spearmen on both sides also crowded over.
This move is more or less useful. When the armies on three sides are crowded together, the advantage of the Mongolian cavalry is almost limited to the minimum. But when they charge like crazy, no matter how well the layout is, it is useless. You see,
Those Mongolians controlled the horses under their feet, leaped up directly, and plunged into the crowd. Facing the leaping horses, people would instinctively dodge, even the soldiers were no exception. As soon as they dodge, they naturally opened the door.
As soon as the Mongols charged, the gap opened.
Therefore, tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry rushed out, and Lin Heng could only watch them leave, then turn around and rush over.
Lin Heng was a little helpless, so he asked the rear troops to join the front troops and block the cavalry. Then the others quickly retreated a certain distance and repositioned themselves, preparing to meet the Mongolian cavalry. Unfortunately, the Mongols were not stupid. When they saw Lin Heng's formation, they
Immediately stop the charge and move to both sides.
"Mongolians are smart!"
Cursing secretly, Lin Heng immediately commanded the army to retreat, and asked the heavy spearmen to step forward and keep an eye on the cavalry. At the same time, he looked sideways at Qi Gong's side. That side was very big and chaotic, but faced countless
The martial arts people of the Qing Dynasty, even tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry, are still useless. Unless they ignore those people and charge directly. Of course, they also plan to do this, but Lin Heng has been prepared for a long time. He has a team of heavy guns
The soldiers protected the army. As soon as the Mongolian cavalry charged at him, they would go up to block it, and then let Hong Qigong and others take the opportunity to kill him.
In just a short period of time, those people had killed four to five thousand people. This efficiency was much greater than that of a small army.
While Lin Heng was observing, he noticed that countless black figures in the camp were moving towards here. He knew that they were the Mongolian infantry. Without even thinking about it, Lin Heng immediately ordered the army to retreat and at the same time let the few
The cavalry attacked the shadows in the camp, delaying their advance.
"If you get entangled, you won't be able to leave. You must find a way..." Lin Heng was secretly anxious. He looked around. Although the Song army was slowly retreating, the Mongolian cavalry was also slowly moving forward. Obviously, they were watching.
There is a large army, and as soon as you reveal a flaw, they will attack you.
The situation was urgent, and Lin Heng couldn't care much about it. He immediately ordered the logistics soldiers behind him to bring them what he had prepared from the beginning. This was Lin Heng's trump card prepared for this war. Originally, he didn't want to use it.
Because it really hurt Tianhe, but at this time, for the life and death of the Song army, he couldn't care so much.
Shaking his head, Lin Heng pulled out a long jade flute from behind, while the logistics soldiers walked to the front with one big box after another. Lin Heng asked them to open the box, but as soon as they opened it, the soldiers backed away in fright.
It didn't stop, and then a buzzing sound sounded in front of the army. Yes, what Lin Heng prepared in the box was none other than Yufeng.
In the Divine Sculpture, Xiao Longnu used jade peaks to drive Huo Du and others away. Now he, Lin Heng, also wants to use jade peaks to block the Mongolian army. Moreover, he believes that with these jade peaks, the Mongols will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
They couldn't carry out the subsequent siege battle.
Putting the long jade flute to his mouth, Lin Heng blew it gently. When the dense jade peaks heard the sound of the flute, they immediately rushed towards the Mongolian army in front. Taking this opportunity, Lin Heng ordered the Song army to retreat quickly. Originally, those
The Mongolian cavalry wanted to pursue them, but when the overwhelming jade peaks swarmed towards them, they couldn't help but feel fear. Especially some people who were stung by the jade peaks screamed in pain and fell off their horses.
Seeing this, they didn't dare to catch up, so they had to keep running around, dodging Yu Feng.
Seeing Jade Bee blocking the Mongolian cavalry, Lin Heng smiled slightly and immediately commanded part of Yu Feng to rush into the Mongolian infantry, while he himself quickly retreated on horseback.
