Lin Heng kept Guo Jing and asked him to pretend to be a Mongolian. This move was a strange move, but it has to be said that with the help of the tunnel, this move worked wonders. No, the Mongolians who escorted grain and grass twice
Everyone fell into the hands of Guo Jing, and the food and grass left by the Mongolian army were also transferred and burned by Guo Jing.
It was his actions that forced the Mongolian army to stop. No matter how powerful the army was, it was useless without food and grass.
The Mongolian army ran out of food and grass, giving the Song army an opportunity. Lin Heng seized this opportunity, quickly trained and arranged troops, and quietly waited for the Mongols to come. Seven days later, the Mongolian army came, and another war broke out.
Once again, Lin Heng's army retreated, but Mongolia also paid a huge price. Thirty thousand Mongolians were left behind the city.
All in all, Mongolia also lost over 100,000 people. This number was better than Lin Heng expected. Mongolia also had to stop again because of this huge loss.
In the Mongolian army's tent, Brother Meng asked his subordinates for a solution. Many people said that they should retreat. If they did not retreat, they would not have the strength to conquer Xiangyang even if they reached the city. Many people were unwilling to retreat.
They proposed a strategy of dividing the troops. They said that the army would besiege the city and then divide the troops to attack behind the enemy lines. This method made Meng Ge very excited, but thinking of the tunnels laid under the city by the Song Army, he had to give up this plan because no one was sure what the Song Army would do.
He won't run away in the tunnel and intercept the front troops.
After thinking about it, the Mongols couldn't think of any solution. In their view, the Song people were just using the strength of the city to consume their strength. If they followed the steps of sending people away, there were still more than a dozen cities ahead, so they would have to add more.
There are so many Mongolian troops, so many people are unwilling to continue to march. But if they retreat, the Mongols will lose all face, and they will not be happy. Even the Mongolian test, they will not be able to pass.
For a while, the army stayed.
Lin Heng noticed something was wrong with the Mongolian army at the first time, but he had no intention of moving. Instead, he asked the generals of various ministries to join in the training, and at the same time transported the injured soldiers back to Xiangyang, and urged Xiangyang to send more new soldiers.
Increase the number of troops.
Lin Heng was happy for both sides to spend so much time, because he was not worried that his side would not be able to hold on first. However, his wish was doomed to fail. After more than ten days, the Mongolian army moved out again. This time, they
The army was divided into two, one with about 100,000 men. They stopped attacking the city and simply crossed over from both sides and rushed into the city behind.
Seeing this, Lin Heng's expression was very ugly. The Mongolian army was about to abandon the rear and attack Xiangyang. This attack, not only hit Lin Heng's weak spot, but also made him confused.
"Brother Lin, what should we do now?" Guo Jing asked anxiously in the camp.
Lin Heng shook his head and looked at Huang Rong. He had no good solution at this time and could only place his hope on Huang Rong.
Huang Rong didn't have a good idea, but he could only stabilize everyone at this time, so he said: "I think we will lead the army to follow the Mongolian army. Brother Lin has already arranged the city behind, even if it cannot stop the Mongolian army
, we can also cause a certain amount of damage to them, and we can take the opportunity to harass the Mongolian army. I don’t believe that the Mongolian army can endure it."
"Okay, let's do this!" Hong Qigong made the decision immediately, and everyone immediately gathered the army and went out of the city to hang behind the Mongolian army.
In this way, the two armies rushed towards the city in the rear, with the Mongolian army in front and the Song army in the back. When the two armies rushed to the city, the defender was startled, but he immediately
He calmed down and arranged for the army to defend the city.
The Mongolian army did not attack the city at first, but deployed troops and horses to guard against the Song army in the rear. Finally, they mobilized tens of thousands of horses to attack the city. This time, the Mongolian army completely abandoned the other three gates and attacked one day and night.
Side. Just two days later, the city gate opened and the Mongolian army entered the city. After that, they walked non-stop towards the next city.
Behind, the Song army still only followed, and took advantage of the gap to enter the city. Lin Heng issued a new round of military orders. He asked everyone to ensure that they had as much strength as possible and gathered in the next city, and so on. In the end,
, concentrated all the troops in Xiangyang, and fought with the Mongolian army in a field battle with absolute superiority. He did not believe that the hundreds of thousands of troops waiting for work could not deal with the hungry and exhausted Mongolian army.
Yes, it is hunger and exhaustion. The Mongolian army completely abandoned the rear. Although they can quickly capture the city in front, without the support from the rear, how long can their food and grass last? One month, or two months?
This problem is the Achilles heel of the Mongolian army. I don’t know if Lin Heng and others know it, but the Mongolian army also knows it, so they rush on their way quickly, capture a city, leave a group of soldiers to defend the town, and then rush to the next city.
.In this way, within a month, the Mongolian army arrived outside Xiangyang City.
By this time, the Mongolian army had only 150,000 troops, while the Song army had 130,000, most of whom were new soldiers. Of course, these were new soldiers who had participated in one or two battles.
At the foot of Xiangyang City, the Song Army sandwiched the Mongolian Army in the middle. Lin Heng did not play any tricks this time, and directly let the two armies advance to defeat the Mongolian Army. He did not believe it. With more than 100,000 superior troops, he still fought hard.
There are no more than hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops.
In order to give full play to his own advantages, Lin Heng divided the two armies into two, dispatching one for each attack, and then withdrawing it to replace the other. In this way, the back and forth fighting did not give the Mongolian army a chance to rest. At night
, he either launched night attacks or mobilized martial arts people to cause trouble for the Mongolian army and consume their physical strength.
This fighting lasted for three days, almost non-stop day and night, and everyone was exhausted. What's more serious is that there was a river of blood here. Both the Song Army and the Mongolian Army suffered huge casualties. By this time, everyone was exhausted.
I realized that I couldn’t continue to grow like this.
First of all, look at the Mongolian army. After three days and three nights of continuous fighting, they lost more than 50,000 people. The remaining people were also exhausted. Everyone had red eyes and dared not sleep. If this continues, it won’t take long.
The spirit of the army will collapse, and the Mongolian army will be completely defeated by then.
Then came the Song Army. They suffered greater losses than the Mongolian Army, with nearly 100,000 casualties. If Lin Heng hadn't directly brought the civilians over, they might not have been able to encircle the Mongolian Army. But even if
In this way, Lin Heng's tense spirit also prevented Lin Heng from being careless. He was also afraid that Song Jun's spirit would be broken. After all, too many people had died in the past few days. Such huge deaths, not to mention soldiers, were those who killed without blinking an eye.
The gangsters are almost going crazy.
"Brother Guo, Qi Gong, we can't go on like this. It seems we have to open a way, otherwise the Mongolian army will have to fight us!" Lin Heng said anxiously in the camp.
The two nodded, and they also realized that something was wrong. After careful discussion, the three immediately moved the army to one side and released the obstruction on one side. This gave the Mongols a chance to retreat, which was the so-called encirclement.
Three are missing.
With the gap on this side, Lin Heng believed that the Mongolian army would definitely hesitate to continue fighting, because not only the Song army could not hold on, but they could not hold on either.
At night, Lin Heng continued to prevent the martial arts people from attacking at night. This time he no longer stopped them from forming an army, but let them perform their own actions, but remember not to go too deep, so as not to fall into the Mongolian army's path.
The night attacks by martial arts people are absolutely impossible to prevent. The Mongols lost many people under their night attacks. It can be said that at least most of the more than 50,000 people lost their lives at the hands of martial arts people. It is conceivable that,
If Lin Heng kept letting them attack at night, maybe in ten days and a half, those Mongolians would be killed by them.
For this reason, the Mongolian army tightened their ranks and allowed everyone to gather together. However, there was a disadvantage in doing so, that is, Lin Heng would seize the group and attack them with bows, arrows, and catapults.
Therefore, the current Mongolian army is completely suffering from both ends.
On the fifth day, the Mongolian army finally couldn't hold on any longer. They quickly retreated and withdrew from the siege of the Song army overnight. However, perhaps out of reluctance, they did not withdraw, but continued to station themselves in Xiangyang City.
Ten miles away.
"hateful……"
Lin Heng cursed secretly, but felt that the Mongolian army was crazy. In fact, it was not that they were crazy, but that they were out of temper. You must know that this time, 300,000 Mongolian soldiers went out to fight, but now, they have not enough left
Seventy thousand people. With such a huge loss, what qualifications do they have to go back. Therefore, if Xiangyang is not captured, they may not be willing to give up.
In Xiangyang City, Lin Heng and others were discussing strategies. Suddenly there was a commotion outside. Several people frowned and looked outside. Soon, a soldier ran in and reported: "I have seen several generals. I am waiting to find out.
There was a riot in the army!”
"The commotion? Do you know what it is?" Lin Heng asked quickly. Xiaobing shook his head. Seeing this, Lin Heng waved his hand and asked him to go down and continue to inquire.
"Brother Guo, why do you think the Mongolian army rioted?"
"This..." Guo Jing shook his head and couldn't explain why. There was no way. They could only bear their temper and sent out scouts to find out the news. About three days later, the Mongolian army suddenly retreated completely. Everyone was very strange, and then
The scouts sent news that the Mongolian Han Mengge had been assassinated.
This news baffled several people. They could not imagine who could be so capable as to assassinate Meng Ge in the army. Later, according to some people, the person who assassinated him was a man, and there was a big eagle beside him. When they heard this
When he said this, Lin Heng thought of Yang Guo and smiled bitterly in his heart. This kid killed Brother Meng at the end of the Divine Condor, but now he is ahead of schedule.
Brother Meng died, the Mongolian army retreated, and the Song army was surrounded. Everyone cheered. However, when Lin Heng and others got the casualty figures of each unit, they could not be happy anymore.
Before and after, the Song army lost a total of more than 350,000 people!
Such a huge loss was due to Lin Heng's use of new soldiers. There was nothing he could do about it. Xiangyang's military strength was simply insufficient. Without the use of new soldiers, how could it have caused such great damage to the Mongolian army. But the number of 350,000 was really astonishing.
Got it!
"well!"
Sighing heavily, Lin Heng really didn't know what to say. He shook his head and said to Guo Jing: "Brother Guo, I'm very confused. I'll leave the rest to you."
After saying a few words, Lin Heng left. Guo Jing wanted to hold Lin Heng back, but Qi Gong and Huang Rong stopped him and shook their heads at him.
