Temujin raised his hand and pulled out the spear. The spear was pointed sharply at Wei Qing, Di Qing and Yang Miaozhen.
He ordered Na Ya'a to lead the Qie Xue army to kill Wei Qing, Dan Li, and Meng Ye. The three armies had no commander and could only become a piece of scattered sand. How could the battle last so long and be defeated in vain? All the efforts of the past few days would be wasted.
flow eastward.
Temujin did not believe that the 60,000 Chu army could stop the 200,000 troops behind him. With an order, the soldiers of the three armies took off the kumiss on their horses.
Suddenly.
The Mongolian enemy soldiers raised their heads and drank. The blood was like fire, and the wine was like flames. After drinking a cup of mare's milk, the morale of the Mongolian enemy soldiers was high, and they threw away the wine in their hands.
"kill!"
"kill!"
The killing cry suddenly rang out, the sound shook the sky and shook the earth. For a moment, the Mongolian enemy soldiers seemed to have been beaten to death, waving their machetes and charging at Wei Qing and others.
"Pretending!"
"To capture the thief, capture the king first, to shoot the man first, to shoot the horse, then all the generals will come forward together to kill the Mongol Emperor."
Wei Qing's loud voice sounded, he flipped the long knife over, turned around and said to the soldiers behind him: "Bring up the long spear and break through the enemy's defense first!"
Di Qing, Yang Miaozhen, Meng Ye, Shan Li, and Meng Kun focused their attention on Wei Qing's figure. They saw him taking ten spears, clamping them under his arms, and galloping forward on his horse.
The aura of frenzied fighting was strong, and the murderous intent was overwhelming. Wei Qing's cold light flashed across the soldiers in front of him, his figure soared into the air, and the spear under his arm was like a flying arrow, penetrating the air barrier and piercing forward.
"call out!"
"call out!"
"call out!"
Wei Qing made several moves, and kept kicking the spear in front of him with both feet. The sound of breaking wind sounded, and the soldiers who were coming towards him were passed by the spear.
One spear pierced four or five enemy soldiers, and ten cold spears flew out. The Mongolian enemy soldiers charging in front of them fell to pieces.
See the situation.
Temujin was furious and roared: "Naya, lead the cowardly Xue army, and this general will be cut into pieces."
"The Fourth Yizi obeyed the order and led his cavalry to outflank them from both sides, never giving them any chance to breathe."
Na Ya'a and Si Yizi obeyed the order and personally led the army to fight out. The desperate fight began. From the first street fighting, to the end, the two armies had withdrawn from Xuzhou City and were fighting hand to hand on the wilderness battlefield.
Generals Wei Qing and Di Qing aimed at Temujin. They flew their horses, struck left and right, and quickly attacked Temujin on the chariot.
The battle lasted for three hours, and both armies suffered injuries. At this time, night fell quietly, and the dark night enveloped the earth.
at this time.
Everything was quiet under Xuzhou City. The fighting between the two armies had stopped and they retreated. The night completely covered up the ugliness and ferocity of the day, and the night became quiet, so quiet that people were a little scared.
In the camp of the Chu army's city, the soldiers of the three armies were taking breaks to recuperate. Meng Ye received Torre's inherited power, and his strength skyrocketed. After several hours of fighting, he was not tired at all, but Shan Li's injuries became more serious and broken.
Under his armor, blood was gurgling, and the deep scars on his bones were shocking.
"General Mongolia and King of Northern Han, the city of Xuzhou is now in ruins and cannot fundamentally stop the Mongolian enemy troops."
"Leave the city and withdraw towards Puyang City. With Jiuli Pass, our army can rely on the natural moat to hold off the Mongolian enemy troops for several days."
"General Wei, Jiuliguan is indeed a good place to ambush enemy soldiers, but Jiuliguan is not the only passage from Xuzhou City to the imperial capital. The Mongolian enemy soldiers know that there will be an ambush ahead, so they will definitely choose a route."
"So if you miss the battle of Xuzhou City, if you want to stop the Mongolian enemy, you may have to stay under the imperial capital."
Meng Ye spoke, and Wei Qing's eyes flashed with light. His gaze stayed on the geographical map in front of him, and he pondered for a long time before speaking.
"To defend Xuzhou City, with the fighting strength of the Mongolian enemy soldiers, even if the entire army is wiped out, it may not be possible to stop them. This is not a wise move."
"Tonight, the three generals led their troops and rushed to Jiuliguan overnight to set up an ambush. General Di and I stayed behind to lure the enemy deeper."
"Whether this move is successful or not, it can slow down the enemy's advance and preserve our strength. Even if the enemy approaches the imperial city, our army will still be able to fight."
Wei Qing decided to change his battle plan. It was not a good idea to fight against the enemy like this. He decided to work with Di Qing to lead troops to lure the enemy deeper. If this strategy was feasible, it would not be difficult to achieve a staged victory.
If Temujin's army saw through his plan, Wei Qing decided to lead troops to harass the Mongolian enemy soldiers, thereby stopping the Mongolian enemy soldiers from moving forward.
Di Qing, Yang Miaozhen, Shan Li, Meng Ye and others began to discuss with Wei Qing. It was not until midnight that the four generals led the army and quietly left Xuzhou City.
Only the two generals Wei Qing and Di Qing were left, leading less than 30,000 Mongolian cavalry. At this time, in the Mongolian camp outside the city, Temujin ordered the soldiers of the three armies to rest and recuperate, leaving only Qie Xue's army to defend the safety of the camp.
Inside the big tent.
Temujin, Yelu Chucai, Nayaa, Muhuali and others sat down. Under the dim light, Temujin had an angry look on his face and a cold voice sounded.
"A mere Xuzhou city has blocked our army for two days. Could it be that the generals have been in Chu for too long and have been infected by the incompetence of the Chu people?"
"If you can't conquer a city for a long time, how can I lead you to conquer the world?"
"Your Majesty, the Chu State has always had a strong military force. The Emperor of Chu even used military force to rule the country. The Chu army is powerful and everyone knows it."
"This battle is not the fault of the generals. I hope the emperor will not take the blame!"
"At this point in the war, the ministers thought that the army should return. There has been no news from the eldest prince and the third prince on the western front. The royal city is empty. If the Emperor of Chu defeated the Northern Wei Dynasty and sent his army from Taihe Mountain into the grassland, the consequences would be disastrous. In the end, I am afraid that he will be a bamboo basket
It’s all in vain.”
Yelu Chucai raised his fist and saluted, and the voice of panic rang out. For several days in a row, he had felt that the crisis was coming. If he did not withdraw his troops in time, he was afraid that all the five hundred thousand troops would die on the road to attack Chu.
"presumptuous!"
"Come here, bring Yelu Chucai down to me. If anyone dares to confuse the public with evil words and disrupt the morale of our army, he will be killed without mercy!"
"The three armies will rest tonight. At dawn, the four mastiffs will lead their troops and go with me to the Tiger Roaring Imperial City. The four heroes and the four righteous sons will stay here to destroy this Chu army. I will wait for your triumphant return in the capital of the Chu Kingdom."
"The final general's decree!"
After the generals were ordered to leave, Temujin sat alone on the wooden couch. How could he not know the meaning of Yelu Chucai's words?
But there is no turning back now. In his opinion, the battle deep in the grassland has probably begun. The only way out now is to capture the imperial capital of the Chu Kingdom and cause chaos in the Chu Kingdom. Only then will the Mongolian army have a chance.
Once the capital of the Chu Kingdom is lost, the country will be devastated and chaos will continue. The other countries that are eyeing the Chu Kingdom will not miss the opportunity to carve up the Chu land. Even if the Chu Emperor leads his army to rush back, it will be too late.
How can he turn the tide in the flames of war? (To be continued)
