Chapter 25 The Bloody Battle of Lin'an (1)
It was just dawn, outside Dongqing Gate.
The sound of the trumpet shook the world. The Mongolian army arranged troops under the command of Boyan. The huge Huihuan cannons stood on the ground, as if huge monsters were squatting on the ground, staring at Lin'an. Behind the Huihuan were neatly placed packed medicine bags, with thousands of them. This was collected by Boyan after accidentally detonating the fire warehouse during the special operations commanded by Xu Guanghan last time.
Boyan was really depressed about the last unlucky incident. After investigation, it was found that Xu Guanghan and the others came in from the profit camp. This is a very ordinary method and not a great thing. However, what is amazing is their performance after entering the camp, which can be said to be perfect. A few thousand people assassinated so many people in hundreds of thousands of troops, but they did not discover it. This is a setback for Boyan. This is the first time he has encountered such a thing in so many years.
Although Boyan didn't know what kind of fighting style he used and what skills he had, he was very clear about the military literacy he had developed for many years, that is, this is a brand new way of combat, which poses a great threat to them.
This is the result of Li Jun conducting targeted training of this special forces led by Xu Guanghan based on decades of experience in the war between the Chinese army. Since its establishment, the Chinese army has been backward in equipment and its supply has developed and grown due to difficulties. The Chinese army, which has no weapon advantage, has developed many new combat methods, including guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare, and sparrow warfare. Needless to say, night warfare is also a powerful tool.
Night battles were used to the greatest extent in the Korean battlefield. The US military had an absolute advantage in weapons. During the day, their world was theirs. At night, volunteer soldiers took advantage of the night to enter the US military camp to carry out night battles, which dealt a heavy blow to the US military. Li Jun participated in night battles many times on the Korean battlefield. He could not even tell how many American devils had been stabbed to death by a Mitsubishi army.
It would be normal for Boyan to know about this kind of combat method guided by modern tactical theories.
The Mongolian army lined up in neat formations, as if it was marked out by a ruler, people were like dragons, horses were like tigers, and their momentum was extraordinary.
Under the command of Liao Shenggong, the Song army went out of the city to set up formations. The formation was neat and heavy, as stable as a rock, and had an unshakable momentum. Boyan saw it and exclaimed: "The Southern Dynasties were not uncommon, but the Southern Dynasties could not be used. However, today you are doomed to fail even if you have great skills."
Boyan turned around and began to speak: "Genghis Khan's descendants: Genghis Khan is calling us, let us give our souls to Genghis Khan. Attack the city and welcome the horse-milky wine given by Genghis Khan in the imperial palace of the Southern Dynasties."
No one can deny that Boyan is a genius military commander and can inspire morale. His brief words aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers. Each of them had the light of beasts in their eyes, as if a lion could tear people apart at any time.
Boyan pulled out the scimitar, held it high above his head, controlled the reins and rode the horse through the first line. The scimitar in his hand collided with the scimitar in the soldiers' hands, making a tinging sound, like a special battle song. While Boyan was speeding, he shouted: "Genghis Khan!" The soldiers followed him and shouted this sacred name over and over again. Every time the soldiers shouted the war spirit became stronger and their morale was higher. After dozens of shouts, the soldiers were already full of blood, and they were like wild beasts eager to fight.
Listening to this earth-shaking battle call, Li Jun's blood seemed to boil. Li Jun admired Genghis Khan, the great hero, very much. He never expected that after he passed away for so many years, his name still had such great magic power and could inspire soldiers. If he hadn't experienced this scene personally, he wouldn't have believed that a person's name had such powerful inspirational power.
"This is the real hero!" Li Jun admired Genghis Khan in his heart.
"Prepare! Let it go!" Buber roared, waved the flag in his hand, and six hundred refrigerated cannons were raised together, and six hundred zha medicine bags were drawn with beautiful parabolas toward the Song army formation. It was obvious that Boyan was a smart student and learned the skills of tied zha medicine bags from Li Jun.
Liao Shenggong was a genius commander. Li Juncai was not good at calling him well, and immediately he made an action. As the flag was waving, the Song army quickly changed the formation, no longer a dense formation, but a scattered formation. Although the zha medicine bag fell into the formation, the loss was much smaller.
The zha medicine bag is most effective for dense formations and is much less effective for dispersed formations. If the two armies are entangled and fight, they will not be able to exert their power at all unless the commander is crazy and blows up his own people. Liao Shenggong understood this truth very well and immediately commanded the Song army to suppress the Mongolian army.
Boyan was very approving of Liao Shenggong's way of adapting to the situation and nodded, "No, it's a talent, and he reacted very quickly." With a wave of the scimitar, he roared: "Genghis Khan!" The Mongolian army rushed out and pressed towards the Song army.
This time, the Mongolian cavalry did not adopt the traditional tactic of jogging and archery to create chaos. From the beginning, they ran quickly, swung the zha medicine bag in their hands while running, and when they ran closer, they loosened their hands. The zha medicine bag fell into the Song army formation, and explosions were everywhere, and the Song army paid a lot of money.
Boyan is really a good student. He can learn everything and is no worse than Li Jun when he uses it.
The zha medicine bag was a powerful weapon in the hands of the Song army. The first battle was achieved by the help of the zha medicine bag. Unexpectedly, the Mongolians would also use the zha medicine bag to return to the Song army. It was a bit surprising. Although Liao Shenggong was frightened, he was not panicked, and he responded calmly, and commanded the Song army to rush over in the formation of scattered soldiers. The zha medicine bag in the hands of the cavalry kept throwing it into the Mongolian formation.
For a time, the cavalry of Mongolia and Song dynasties were no longer cavalry, but projectors, and a unique artillery battle occurred between the two sides. If this were considered artillery battles, it would definitely be the first artillery battle in human history.
As soon as the two armies contacted each other, they started a melee and entangled together. The Hui artillery could no longer exert its power. Instead, it became a decoration. A large number of troops had to be sent to defend to avoid attacking the Song army. The Song army attacked the Hui artillery last time. Because the zha medicine bag was mixed with fake parallel goods and its power was limited, the Hui artillery survived, otherwise it would have been reimbursed long ago.
If the Hui artillery could be destroyed, the threat to Lin'an City would be much smaller. Liao Shenggong commanded the Song army to work hard many times and repeatedly attacked, but the Mongolians defended like iron barrels and could not succeed.
As a result, the two armies had another melee. This melee was different from last time. The Mongolians also had zha medicine bags in their hands. The cavalry did not get entangled with others, and they only found steel crossbows to start. Wherever there was steel crossbow, there was zha medicine bags to throw them over. In a short while, the steel crossbows lost a lot.
One of the important reasons why the Song army was invincible in the last battle was that the steel crossbow provided firepower support and caused major damage to the Yuan army. Boyan was a genius military strategist with unique vision and had long discovered that the steel crossbow caused immeasurable losses to the Mongolian army, but he had no way to deal with it. The steel crossbow had a long range and strong penetration. It was the nemesis of the cavalry. Eliminating the steel crossbow was a tactical goal of Boyan's battle.
