I didn't want to explain this decisive battle in Lintao in detail, but the protagonist did not participate, it was just a branch background.

But since yesterday, my operation officer has chatted with my friends several times, and I have simply replied to them. Everyone seems to be confused, so it’s okay to talk in detail.

Let’s talk about the forces first.

Historically, there were 70,000 people in Liupan Mountain in Hundu Sea and 60,000 people in Kublai Khan West Route Army.

Why do I write that there are 110,000 people in Liupanshan and 100,000 people in the Western Army?

The approximate logic is:

Li Xia recovered Sichuan and Shu and Hanzhong. Liu Heima from Chengdu returned to Guanzhong, so he wrote that Liu Heima had 40,000 troops; the troops belonging to the Wang family in Lizhou had also returned to Longxi, so Wang Liangchen had 60,000 troops.

On the other hand, Li Xia reported the news of Mengge's death earlier to Liupanshan, so Liupanshan could attract Mengge's southern expedition more. Alibuge saw that Kublai Khan had enough troops and could also send troops from Mobei to Liupanshan. Because in the early stage of the war, Alibuge's military force was stronger than Kublai Khan.

Let’s talk about the generals. In history, the commander of the Western Army was Hedan.

There are several reasons why I don’t write Hedan:

1. This is a novel, and everyone is already confused. Adding a few Mongolian names at this time will take too much time to explain their background, which will make everyone more confused. (Including Bachun, this is also the reason why they are not going to write it. This is first of all, and the important thing is that everyone doesn’t have to work hard to read.)

2. The fiefdom of Hedan is in Bethbali, which is Jimusar, which is very far away.

3. In the timeline in the book, this battle was half a year earlier than historical facts, and the news of Mengge's death was also earlier by Ali Buge. Does Hedan support Kublai Khan? I think it is doubtful. Even if the two sides contacted each other, can they come in time?

4. This is a very important foreshadowing for me, which is related to the strategic position of Longxi. If Li Xia takes over Longxi, he can cut off Kublai Khan from the far border (this is the content of the following big plot)

5. The most important point is that in this book, because Li Xia and Kublai Khan are facing more severe situations, he will use the Han people more vigorously. This is also what I want to write carefully later, but now it can only be a small branch that can be unveiled bit by bit.

Then I won’t write about Hedan, Bachun is coming, and a logic involves: Can the Western Army win without them?

Let’s first talk about who Hedan is, Ogedei’s sixth son, the concubine’s son, the king of the clan, and his fief is in Jimusar.

"When Emperor Xianzong and Shizu were established, Hedan had the wings of Dai Gong. In the first year of Zhongtong, he ruled Alan Daer and Hunduhai in Guzang and was killed."

This is about this battle, and the description of him as the head coach in history books is just this sentence.

Not as rich as Wang Liangchen and others.

"When the wind blows and sand, the day is dark, Liangchen takes the opportunity to order the soldiers to dismount and fight to the left of the enemy's formation, and then break the formation and exit the right."

Therefore, I will not say whether Hedan is powerful or not. I only think that he was appointed as the commander of the Western Army because of his identity as the sect king, not his ability.

As for this battle in history, who do I think the real trader is by looking at historical materials?

Lian Xixian, Shang Ting.

They have always been officials of the Jingzhao Xuanfu and are most familiar with the terrain.

In history, after Mengge's death, Lian Xixian said, "Take the initiative first, and then act the opportunity. I dare not refuse my destiny, and I dare not disobey my favors. If the situation is wrong, don't pursue all your tricks."

They took the lead in killing Liu Taiping and Huo Luhuai, killing Miliho, Qitai Buhua, and robbing soldiers.

They used their foundation in Qinlong to gather people on the spot, so-called "the Western Army can be easily accessible to the army."

They analyzed the way to go up, middle and down in Hunduhai, as well as the next calculation, and guessed that Hunduhai was going to retreat north...

I think that Lian Xixian and Shang Ting's military ability have surpassed Hunduhai and Hedan for 100 streets.

Let’s not argue about whether these are right or not. I mean these are the logic of my novel writing.

The reason why I spent half a chapter on the previous chapter was to lay the foundation for the victory or defeat of this battle.

I think the main reason for "Lian Xixian" has been pointed out, which is enough to show that if Li Xia is not involved, Hunduhai will undoubtedly lose.

...

This is the general, let’s talk about the strength of the soldiers.

The historical books do not say how many people Hedan brought to support him, only "the Western Army can help the good ministers all the soldiers from the twenty-four states."

In addition, the situation in Kublai Khan in this book is serious, so I wrote that the main force is the Han army.

Gongchang Army, Guanzhong Army, and the Battle of Defense of the Territory.

However, the main force in Hunduhai's hands is two-faced, one is the defenders stationed in Liupanshan, and the other is the defeated troops of Mengge's southern expedition.

The Liupan Mountain defenders should have been serving Genghis Khan for many years without fighting.

It is worth mentioning that in this part of the defeated soldiers in the Southern Expedition, I almost saw Mengge die on the battlefield with my own eyes.

This is morale.

There should be no need to say more about the baggage.

At the same time, referring to the battle between Kublai Khan and Alibuge, I think the Han army has the strength to defeat Hunduhai.

For more specific analysis of the Han army and the Mongolian army's specific combat power, the following chapters should be mentioned, so I won't talk about it here.

Talk about the battle situation.

Historically, Hunduhai did not dare to enter Longxi and Guanzhong.

I think he should also know that he couldn't beat him, and he planned to go back to Hala and Lin.

But Lian Xixian expected that the Western Army pursued him and "annihilated" him in Yaobei Valley.

Yaobei Valley is located in the Hexi Corridor, but it is far from the north.

In this book, the decisive battle is in Lintao, and Li Xia deceived Hunduhai.

Why in Lintao?

Lintao is just a little north of Gongchang. Hunduhai thought that if Li Xia only attacked Gongchang, it would also cause the collapse of the Wang family soldiers, so he mainly attacked here.

Geographically, Lintao and Jieting Pass are almost parallel.

There is a logic that Hunduhai knew that he could not defeat him, because he dared to come because of Li Xia's surprise weapon.

Now Li Xia is not here, and he even killed Liu Taiping.

At this time, Hunduhai was destined to fail. The "three strategies of the top, middle and lower" in Lian Xixian's history, the worst strategies of this book have been explained.

The rest to be explained is nothing more than:

Wang Liangchen was fighting with 70,000 people in Hunduhai.

At this time, Alan Daer had 30,000 people (he brought 40,000 people to fight Liu Yuanzhen and 20,000 people, leaving 10,000 to guard Jieting), and 30,000 people came out from the direction of Jieting. At this time, he had fought a war and marched quickly.

At the same time, Liu Heima 20,000 people came out from the direction of Qishan Road.

6+20,000, against 7+30,000 (There was an error here yesterday, I wrote 7+3 as 110,000, which is actually 100,000)

Then, Wang Liangchen ran over the flank and killed Hunduhai. Liu Heima arrived and killed Alan Daer together.

Hunduhai knew that he would lose, so he would naturally lose.

At least I think this logic is understandable.

Let’s talk about the results of the battle.

Why use the word "total annihilation"? Because this word is also used in the Battle of Yaobei Valley, I think it should refer to "no one escapes".

Why no one escaped?

I think it’s not that the wind and sand are too strong, but where can I escape?

Hara and Lin are too far away.

After losing the war, the main general was captured, but he had to escape from Gongchang, the hometown of the Wang family, back to Mobei, too far.

Perhaps, it's better to be a prisoner.

So I meant to kill all the horse without returning, and I also wanted to deduct history.

I dare not say that all of the above are correct.

This is the logic of my writing about the war in Longxi, and all I can do is to follow this logic to write it.

Of course, writing a book cannot satisfy everyone.

If you think this single chapter is boring, it means that this battle is just a background branch. I have already mentioned it in the novel and try not to spend too much ink.

If you are interested in this history, just talk about it casually.
Chapter completed!
