Chapter 20 The Battle of Lin'an (1)

Three days later, just dawn, the Song army came out of the city under the command of Liao Shenggong. Liao Shenggong is indeed an outstanding military genius. He was well-organized and soon the army was deployed into a formation. It was orderly and the formation was tight, which was truly unscathed.

Liao Shenggong has promoted Li Jun to Gundam's deputy, responsible for commanding the first battle of the Lin'an Defense War. This future "Chief of General Staff of the Royal Armed Forces of the Great Song Dynasty" has thus appeared on the stage of history, participated, formulated and implemented a series of military operations with great influence. The Lin'an Defense War was the beginning of his military glory.

In this war against the Mongols, Li Jun discovered many talents and gave them a stage to develop their talents, which made the Southern Song Dynasty, which had originally had a woe, change the decline of no one available. Talents emerged in large numbers and became a good story.

As soon as the Song army began to set up the formation, the horn sounded the Mongolian camp and began to gather. The Mongolian Iron Cavalry was strict in military discipline and gathered very quickly. In a short while, they gathered together and formed a neat formation and pressed towards the Song army. In Boyan's impression, the Song army had poor organizational discipline and slow movements. It is said that they had not yet formed a formation in the assembly of the Song army. It happened that the Song army had not yet formed a formation when the Song army was not in a successful position, and they killed a lot, completely disrupted the Song army's general office and then encircled and annihilated it.

Boyan's abacus was extremely skillful, but he was surprised to find that the Song army's formation had already been completed, like an iron bucket, without any flaws. This was something he had never encountered since he went south. He stared at the boss and looked at the Song army's formation in surprise. After a long time, he said to the generals: "Be careful today, there are good generals on the other side. This man is a genius, a good general we have never encountered since we went south. Even Zhang Shijie would not be better than him." Boyan was Boyan, and he reacted extremely quickly. It was really not easy to think of this level immediately.

Alahan was also a good general, nodding in favor: "What the Prime Minister said is reasonable. The Song army has never formed a formation so quickly. Such a strict formation is really admirable. However, who is this person? I have never heard of it. The most famous generals of the Southern Dynasty were Li Tingzhi and Zhang Shijie. Li Tingzhi was in Yangzhou. Could it be Zhang Shijie?"

"It's not him." Boyan rejected it and said, "Although Zhang Shijie's formation is tight, it is not so heavy. This formation is so heavy that it cannot be shaken. There is another person. Who is this person? Is it the unpredictable Zhao Qi?"

Li Jun's actions in the past twenty days were really amazing, which made Boyan look at him. According to Boyan's judgment, Li Jun's achievements in the past twenty days were far greater than the sum of the emperor he had been in nine years, and to be more precise, even more than the sum of the political achievements of the nine years of Duzong and the decades of Lizong. It would not be surprising if Li Jun arranged such a strict formation.

"Prime Minister, look, what are they doing?" Alahan pointed to the people coming in and out and said hurriedly: "They walked heavy when they came out, but they were extremely relaxed when they returned. There must be ghosts here."

Boyan frowned and stared at the people coming and going, and he really couldn't figure out what they were doing. The generals heard the secret comments from the generals: "The Southern Barbarians are really delusional. They actually want to use wooden boards to block the impact of our Mongolian cavalry. They can't be stupid anymore." Boyan raised his eyebrows, suddenly realized, and said, "They are building earth walls, wanting to use earth walls to block our cavalry."

Alahan immediately understood and said, "Prime Minister, order the attack quickly. You can't let them build it, otherwise it will be very troublesome." Bu Wu Wu said with gratitude: "Fortunately, I discovered it early."

Boyan raised his thick eyebrows and nodded, "Yes. Humph, if you want to block my Mongolian army with a mere earth wall, you will be too careful to see my Mongolian men. Come on, pass on my order, and the cavalry will start charging. Be sure to take down the enemy's earth wall in one go!"

As soon as the order was passed, a cavalry of ten thousand people rushed over, leaving the Song army with two arrows. The arrows were like rain and were not airtight. Unfortunately, they were all shot on the wooden board, and no one injuring the Song army. The arrows were fired, creating chaos, and they were always the prelude to the charge of the Mongolian cavalry. The Mongolian cavalry would rush into the enemy formation in the chaos, and not causing chaos would reduce the impact of the cavalry much. When the arrow was on the string, there was no need to care about so many, and ten thousand Mongolian cavalry still rushed over without hesitation.

The Mongolian Iron Cavalry was the most elite army in the world at that time. It rushed over like a thunderous sound, with extraordinary power and a shocking force. Boyan was very satisfied and nodded slightly. Just as Boyan praised him, something surprised him happened. The cavalry who rushed to the wooden board waved his sabers and slashed it down, immediately splitting the wooden board into wooden strips and fell to the ground in a row.

The cavalry rushed over with howling screams. The scene where Boyan expected that the Song army was chopping the flesh and blood and flying everywhere did not appear. Instead, a scene that made him unbelievable people look up and go over the wonders. The ones that fell to the ground were Mongolian cavalry, and the horses were neighing and howling, and they were in chaos. Boyan relied on his rich war experience and immediately judged that the cavalry must have encountered an accident and asked loudly: "What happened?"

This is a question that no one can answer. Alahan and the others also looked in front of the formation in surprise like him, and showed an expression on their faces that you should beat me to death. I don't believe it is true.

The Mongolian cavalry always charges, and it is rare to see the enemy's formation in a mess. Even though they are experienced and have rich experience, they can figure out the truth for a while.

Boyan waved his hand and a team of personal soldiers rushed out. After a while, the personal soldiers rushed back again. The captain of the personal soldiers reported loudly: "Report to the Prime Minister, the enemy is full of bamboo sticks on the mound, and the cavalry rushed over..." Boyan already understood what was going on, and waved his hand to interrupt the captain and said, "Go down. Order, continue to charge."

The bamboo sticks five feet long were inserted into the pile of soil. It was the small gift Li Jun prepared for An Da, who was made by Li Jun. After the bamboo sticks were cut into hot oil, then dried with fast fire. They were tough and sharp, no less than a steel knife, and inserted on the pile of soil. The wooden board blocked the Mongolians' vision. The Mongolian cavalry rushed over without any clarity. The horse's belly cut blood grooves for the bamboo sticks, and there were also those that were not overturned by the horse. (Note: Soaking the bamboo sticks with hot oil and then drying them, they were tough and sharp. According to my experience, although they are not as easy to use as steel knives, they are also a weapon. What is even more rare is that the production cost is low and the materials are easy to obtain. In my hometown, some old hunters used bamboo sticks to deal with black bears in the past. Although the soles of the black bears are thick, they often hurt them and make shrill screams.)

Boyan's fierce fighting style was not a small setback that could shake his determination. He understood that one of the shortcomings of bamboo sticks was that they would not be firm when inserted into the mound of soil. They would fall apart when the war horses rushed. As long as they paid a certain price, they could break all the bamboo sticks. Then he ordered to continue charging. He wanted to sacrifice a certain life of the cavalry in exchange for the chaos of the entire Song army.

"Only people like Boyan can do such a combat technique." Li Jun stood at the top of the city, saw the situation under the city, and thought in his heart that it was not worth it for those Mongolian cavalry who had sacrificed their lives for innocent people.
