Bo Luohuan clearly felt that his side's energy was knocked out at the beginning of the confrontation.
The Yuan army's physical strength was far superior to that of the Tang army, which was tired from long battles. Moreover, they had horses and could maneuver flexibly.
A better way to play would be to distance yourself like Bai Jia Nu...
However, before Li Xia could run far, Bo Luohuan could see that Li Xia was more than 150 steps away.
This distance is just at the end of the arrow's range. It can be shot, but the arrow is already powerless when it reaches Li Xia, and is always knocked away by the soldier holding the shield.
"Kill through their lines!"
As long as he takes a few dozen steps forward, Bo Luo Huan believes that he can shoot Li Xia to death.
He thought clearly that since crossing the river was a risk, he had to succeed before he could retreat.
On the contrary, if we retreat now, if the enemy counterattacks and encircles us, we may not be able to return to the other side of the Han River.
"Don't retreat! Kill us!"
It was like a dog, with saliva flowing down its sharp teeth. It was staring at the piece of meat in front of it, grinning, and then pounced on it.
It almost licked the piece of meat, so it started biting like crazy despite being hit with the stick.
But it was still a little short of the mark. The Yuan army stopped charging. The rear row fired bows and arrows, while the front row condescendingly hit the Tang army with hammers.
Both sides were elites and suffered similar casualties.
This kind of hand-to-hand combat is like competing for life and strength, until one party's mentality collapses.
Bo Luo Huan was confident because the Tang army had been fighting for too long, and tired troops were often the most vulnerable to collapse.
The sun's shadow moves westward, and a red sun hangs over the Jiutian Xuannv Cave in the west, slowly falling toward the stretching mountains of the Qinling Mountains.
The rays of light turn the Hanjiang River red, integrating it with the blood of Changgan Ridge.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had been ashore to fight since dawn, and their physical strength had long been exhausted. Maybe if they fought for a while longer, the Tang army would be defeated before nightfall, and the soldiers could hardly hold on and wanted to end the battle.
Dust and smoke suddenly rose on the Changgang Ridge, followed by shouts of killing. Bo Luohuan, the killer, looked up, thinking that it was impossible for Li Xia to have follow-up troops.
However, the soldiers coming here in formation from the gentle hillside of Changganling were actually soldiers one after another.
One after another figures appeared in sight, ranging from more than a thousand people to more than two thousand people. "How could it be?"
The appearance of this army gave Bo Luohuan a feeling that Li Xia still had some strength left.
It feels like the hope of victory is suddenly pushed away.
He was like a dog that was chasing food madly. He had been beaten to bruises all over his body. Suddenly, the meat in front of him was taken away.
In an instant, a lot of his fighting spirit dissipated, and he just wanted to lie down and cry.
Bo Luohuan could still tell himself to hold on.
But not everyone under his command is as strong-minded as him. "General, I feel like I can't defeat Li Xia anymore, so retreat!"
"Retreat, General." Once the soldiers' mentality collapsed, victory or defeat was certain.
In order to join together, Li Xia and Liu Yuanli killed the Song army's camp on Changgang Ridge one after another.
As a result, the Song army was divided into two. The Song army on the other side of the mountain withdrew, while the Song army on the other side of the Han River was mostly captured under the pressure of the Tang army's navy. The number was about two thousand.
These prisoners had all lost their weapons and armor, and were squatting in the camp in Changganling.
"We are all Han Chinese with the same roots and ancestry, and even share the same hometown, so why should we kill each other? Isn't it a good idea to live well?" This was what the Tang sergeant said at the beginning.
Most people don't want to die and gradually calm down.
"You will know when you are reorganized in the future. If you serve as a soldier here with us, you will be paid on time, you will be divided into fields and build houses, you will be given a wife, and you will receive a pension when you die..." If the military song that was sung in unison before was about righteousness,
It is a subtle influence, but the small profits mentioned at this time immediately hit people's hearts.
Many captured Song soldiers immediately stared blankly.
"Really? I want to surrender, but my family is still in Ezhou." Then do you know who is in charge of Ezhou now? Also, it doesn't matter even if your family is elsewhere, Emperor Zhao and Song will sooner or later surrender to Ezhou.
My emperor negotiates peace,
Dare I not allow you to bring your children? At worst, we will fight until Lin'an. Under such persuasion to surrender, many of the captured soldiers of the Song Dynasty expressed their intention to surrender.
But after all, they were still fighting Lu Wende at that time, so they still didn't immediately let them pick up their weapons and put on their armor to fight. There was no guarantee that someone would not rebel. Normally, they had to be reorganized before they could go to the battlefield again. Until the Yuan army came over, the situation changed.
Then it started to be different.
No one likes to see robbers break into their doorstep.
In order to stay in peace, the Song Dynasty court was only groveling and condescending when writing the credentials. On weekdays, they might just be indignant. After all, they couldn't see the credentials. Meng Yuan had already obtained the title of "nephew Emperor Zhan of the Song Dynasty", and obtained the title of Song Dynasty Emperor Zhan.
The people used their last hard-earned money to raise the annual coins.
But now, the captured Song soldiers saw with their own eyes that Meng Yuan's horse hooves still trampled on their land without restraint.
So proud and arrogant.
Humiliation?
I was slapped, I smiled apologetically and gave away my property, then I stepped forward and was slapped again, was it humiliating?
Are these soldiers bloodless?
Qi Shu, the nest of heavy responsibility again and again.
When they didn't know how to fight, the court thought they couldn't recover the Central Plains, that they were useless, and that they didn't feel humiliated.
Otherwise, why would you allow yourself to be bullied like this?
Because the Emperors of Zhao and Song were more afraid of strong armies and generals under their rule than foreign enemies.
The people that Emperor Zhao and Song were most afraid of were not Wanyan Aguda, Wushu, Meng Ge, and Kublai Khan, but Yue Fei, Meng Gong, and Yu Yu.
How to end this humiliation?
"Give them weapons!"
"What?"
"Give them armor and weapons, and let them go to the battlefield to kill the enemy."
"The general has thought deeply that these prisoners have not been sorted out and screened. If someone with ulterior motives sneaks up on Your Majesty, the general cannot afford it."
"This is your Majesty's order. Our soldiers agree to surrender. Your Majesty is not afraid of our soldiers rebelling."
Bows, arrows, spears, and swords were handed to the prisoners of the Song Army. They put on Yingjia and left the barracks. They found that the Tang Army really no longer guarded them, and even allowed their original commander to continue to lead them. Li Ni's
The banner was not too far away from them, and Li Ni himself was sitting on his horse, with his back to them, directing the troops to deal with the Yuan army.
If someone raised his arms at this time and shouted, "Kill Li Ni and make a great contribution," and two thousand people came from behind to kill him, it shouldn't be difficult to get rid of Li Ni.
But this scene may be the difference between the Zhao Song Dynasty and the New Tang Dynasty. When the weak leader of the Zhao family was hiding in the palace in Lin'an, he was afraid that a general would regain the Central Plains and achieve great success. He would rather the Han people in the world suffered humiliation than dare to
Let strong soldiers and generals threaten his throne.
Then Li Xia had no choice but to overthrow this old master, and he no longer had to worry about being superior to anyone. And under his command, no one had to worry about being superior to the master.
The emperor of the New Tang Dynasty came to the battlefield in person, made great achievements in battle, and wanted to conquer the mountains and rivers of the world. How could he worry that some of the captives would turn against him and kill him?
The prisoners of the Song Army may not understand Li Xia's self-confidence, but most of them can feel trusted.
Zhao Song, who was wary of warriors, never gave these vulgar warriors with tattoos such a sense of trust.
They killed the Yuan army at the foot of the mountain.
Everything happened naturally. The Tang soldiers returned their weapons and armor to them without even a warning. They attacked the Yuan army without even a moment's hesitation.
They even sang the military song that Tang Jun drank.
Gold and white jade, shining through the window at night.
A few days ago, they surrounded the Tang army on the Han River. Although they clearly had an advantage in military strength, they were not as powerful as the Tang army because their emperor, "nephew Emperor Ji of the Song Dynasty", did not give them the confidence, because suing for peace could not establish national prestige. Now
, the emperor stood on the battlefield ahead, raising his sword and horse, to drive away the foreigners by force and establish the prestige of the country by force.
"My shame is unknown in the annals of history for thousands of years, but I repay the emperor with a heart of loyalty."
In the beginning, only Liao Liao, a prisoner of the Song army, could sing.
After all, they can't remember such sentences.
Later Sergeant Tang
Pou led them in singing.
"You came to join the army in the Han Dynasty, and the Nanshan Mountains were covered with snow and jade.
With the roars combined, these Song soldiers ran across the Qiangan Mountains, and as they ran, they became Tang soldiers."
Woohoo! Even though the three households of Chu can destroy Qin, how can China be empty and deserted?
When the follow-up troops of the Tang Army pressed forward, the momentum suddenly increased.
Bo Luohuan turned his head and saw that the cavalry behind the line turned their horses and fled the battlefield without authorization.
He rode forward, intending to cut down a Yuan soldier who was still trying to retreat. However, once the soldier's will collapsed, it was like a flood breaking a bank, and no human power could stop him.
At this point, he had given up on killing Li Xia and just wanted to lead his men back to Lumen Mountain.
Like a dog that no longer wants to eat meat, it howls and wants to escape from the stick.
"Back! Back!"
As soon as the whistle blew, the Yuan army cavalry in the rear immediately dispersed, left the battlefield, and ran eastward regardless of their comrades who were held by the Tang army.
This is the advantage of the cavalry. If you want to retreat, you can always retreat. The stars are hanging down on the plains and the fields are vast, and the moon is rising and the rivers are flowing.
The Han River flows eastward, bypassing Xiangyang City and then turning south. Lumen Mountain is located on the east bank of this section of the river.
Because of the establishment of the market, the Yuan army took the opportunity to build a city fort here. With the protection of the city fort, they could easily build a pontoon bridge to cross the river. Baijianu and Boluo Huan brought more than 15,000 people with them.
After crossing the river, he led more than 10,000 cavalry to the battlefield of Wolong Town westward, leaving 5,000 Han troops to continue to create momentum and pretend to attack Xiangyang and guard the pontoon bridge.
They really did not expect that the old and foolish Lu Wende would suddenly wake up and dare to drive away the Yuan army regardless of the Yuan-Song peace treaty.
Baijianu believed that he was "driven" by Lu Wende. Lu Wende's strategic purpose was more to drive them back to the other side of the Han River than to annihilate them. When night fell, Baijianu's troops and the troops in front of them pretended to attack Xiangyang.
Convergence.
The Yuan army regained strength, and the Song army behind them also stopped and began to adjust their formations and consolidate themselves.
Although the Song army has a large number of troops, it is exhausted after a long battle, so it is actually at a disadvantage. No matter how many troops there are, they cannot line up during the actual confrontation. They are just cheering from behind, and their physical strength is weak. The more troops there are, the easier it is to be defeated. Therefore, Lu Wende
I really forced hundreds of slaves to the Han River, but I didn't dare to order them to kill them in a decisive battle.
It is indeed to contain and drive away.
If the Yuan army retreated, Lu Wende would not order an attack to avoid possible defeat. If the Song soldiers could rest for the night, their physical strength would be much better.
However, while the Song army still maintained its last trace of forbearance, Baijianu did not order the crossing of the river.
After joining forces, he did not take the Song army seriously. He was still waiting for Bo Luo Huan to annihilate Li Xia, and then he and he attacked Lu Wende from front to back.
The soldiers on both sides were very tired, nervous and sensitive at the same time. Everyone was holding their weapons tightly to guard against the other side's sudden charge and hand-to-hand combat, which might break out due to any disturbance.
And this was at night, making it difficult to see the changes on the battlefield.
"Da da da……"
The sound of horse hooves came from west to east, becoming increasingly clear.
The Song army inspected the horse and squinted hard, and saw the figure of the Yuan army running wildly in the night in the distance.
"Report! The Yuan army is coming!"
At the same time, Baijianu also received a report from the detective.
"Report! General Bo Luohuan's troops are here, just to the west of the Song Army!" Where is Li Xia?! Is Li Xia dead?
"Manager, I still don't know. It's dark across the Song Army. Did Bo Luo Huan ask me to attack Lu Wende together?"
The battlefield is often hasty and chaotic.
It is not a post-mortem exercise. There is never such comprehensive intelligence, and there is not so much time for people to think. The generals can only make decisions in the fastest time through one-sided intelligence.
Therefore, after the war, others would always say that they made too many mistakes.
In short, in this dark night, the rapid sound of horse hooves sounded, and the running Yuan army shouted, Lu Wende and all the slaves must make a decision immediately. "Report! The Yuan army is approaching!"
"Report! General Bo Luohuan's troops are about to rush into the Song army!"
"Damn it!"
"Uh-huh!"
Both sides were so desperate that the thin peace treaty between the Yuan and Song Dynasties was of no use in this situation.
