Although the sky has not yet darkened, bonfires have been lit in the Tang army's camp. This can give the soldiers a feeling that it will be dark soon.
Today, if the Tang army is on the defensive, they will feel that they can hold on until dark just by gritting their teeth. However, if the Yuan army is attacking, once it feels dark, they will only think, "We can't attack today."
In fact, a pot has been set up in the center of the camp and cooking has begun. Some Tang troops are eating in a hurry, preparing to replace their comrades who are still fighting fiercely.
Suddenly a whistle was heard. "Yuan Qi has gone around to the rear!"
Soon, the command flag in front of the Chinese army's tent began to wave.
Kong Xian strode out of the tent holding the knife and shouted: "You are all full, have you rested enough?! Can we fight again?!"
"Yes!" "Fight, fight!"
The soldiers quickly stuffed the food into their mouths, and before they could swallow it completely, they started to respond with unclear voices.
"Walk!"
Kong Xian's force was still attacking Wenming Gate last night, suffering the heaviest casualties, and today it has withdrawn all the way here. At this time, they had just treated the wounded, took a short rest, and immediately formed a formation to prepare for the Yuan army coming from behind.
"Commander, are you injured?"
"It's wrapped up." Kong Xiandao said, "Do you know what His Majesty just said to me?"
"Hey, Marshal, isn't this a joke? How could we know?"
Kong Xian's steps did not slow down, he turned around and pointed with his chin at the flag of An Tong in the north, and sneered: "What a little brat, you want to kill your majesty?"
"Your Majesty said so?"
"That's not true. Your Majesty said, 'Kong Qing led his soldiers to guard Shu in those days. Sharp arrows pierced bones, iron blades penetrated faces. Corpses filled both sides of the Minjiang River, and the city of Yunding was filled with blood. Although it was difficult and dangerous, he was still able to defeat the captives. Now I am worried about An Tong.
Is it just a child?'"
"Commander, what do you mean?"
Kong Xian was originally a civil servant, but he had been leading the army for almost twenty years. When he spoke, he could not only modify Li Xia's original words in a formal manner, but also swear a few swear words from time to time.
"How can An Tong, a petite little boy, compare with the men from Shu who fought bloody battles with us? Don't blame him, Your Majesty let him in deliberately to devour him. We just need to stay behind."
"Then which one is attacking behind?"
"Wugudai, a Mongolian sect king." Kong Xiandao: "He is also a delicate waste."
~-
In the big tent, after Kong Xian was ordered to leave, Zhang Rou moved the war chess on the map and said, "Kublai Khan has made a big investment."
This refers to the fact that Kublai Khan sent all his troops up, and he obviously did not intend to retreat in the middle of the battle.
Li Xia didn't want Kublai Khan to retreat to the grassland, so he felt a little relieved after seeing this situation. "Since the Northern Expedition, he has been shrinking his troops. Today he is finally willing to lengthen the front a little bit."
"Your Majesty gave him a chance, and he gave your Majesty a chance to defeat him."
"What I gave him was an illusion." Li Xia looked at Huo Xiaolian and said, "Go and get An Tong's head. Before dark, let the Yuan army see An Tong's flag fall."
"Here.
Huo Xiaolian took the order and left without saying a word.
Zhang Rou stroked his beard and said, "How about a bet with Your Majesty? I bet that General Huo will be late."
"Is Jia Wen ready to fight?"
At this time, it was Jia Wenbei's troops under Zhang Rou who besieged An Tong, so Li Xia had this question.
"They must be more capable of fighting than An Tong." Zhang Judao: "These Mongolian nobles have stopped fighting for a long time. The wars in the past 20 to 30 years were all fought by the Han army."
care too much.
Li Xia's eyes fell back on the map. He was not interested in who could annihilate An Tong.
In the past, when the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties were powerful, the world often praised Kublai Khan for his eclectic approach to personnel and his discernment in promoting the thirteen-year-old An Tong.
But after seeing the combat power of these cowardly generals in the Battle of Helan Mountain, Li Xia understood that Kublai Khan's use of An Tong, Yuxi Timur, Boyan, etc. was not a wise eye at all.
, but out of lack of confidence.
Kublai Khan was not confident in his name as "Great Khan".
When he became the Great Khan, it was not justified. Mongolia was founded.
The soldiers and horses of the Four Heroes' family who served as Qixue Commanders all belonged to Alibu Ge, so he selected a few children who were closest to him from the Four Heroes' families and entrusted them with important tasks. This was to show the Mongols that the Four Heroes supported him.
.
In the same way, he promoted Boyan to the prime minister position as soon as he saw him to show Hulagu's support for him.
As for the talents of these people?
In Li Xia's opinion, most of them are just pigs in the spotlight.
Now, he wants to stop the wind and see how many people fall.
An Tong's eyes widened as he saw Li Xia's tent getting closer and closer. "Kill him!"
He shouted hoarsely, but did not charge again in person, but held up his general's flag in person.
He wanted to push the flag in front of Li Xia before dark, or force Li Xia to move his camp back.
In this way, the morale of the Yuan army will be greatly boosted, and the soldiers will understand that they are only one step away from a great victory, and they will not be discouraged when it gets dark.
Even if they fight at night, Li Xia's army must be annihilated before the Tang army can increase its troops. "Shoot them!"
Suddenly, a loud shout from the general of the Tang Army rang out from the front. Then arrows rained down.
"An Tong!" A Tang army shouted in Mongolian: "You have fallen into the trap. We deliberately put you into the battle to surround you. You have been captured for the second time. If you don't surrender, there will be no more
Third chance."
"Fell into a trap?" Yuan Jun couldn't help but panic.
"You underestimate me!" An Tong shouted: "Put me into the formation and surround me? OK, this will be the biggest mistake you have ever made."
He struggled to raise the flag in his hand higher.
"Warriors! We are less than two hundred steps away from Li Xia. It's time for us to bring a great victory. Kill!"
He shouted and rushed forward. "Kill!" The suicide squads followed one after another. One step, two steps. Blood continued to flow from An Tong's arms as he ran. He felt exhausted and felt that he could no longer hold on to the flagpole.
But it must have been even more difficult than this when Mu Huali charged in person.
Why could the Song army kill Meng Gehan in Diaoyu City, and why could Li Xia create miracles one after another?
Today it is his turn to have a child, because Muhuali and Genghis Khan are watching from the eternal sky.
Twenty steps, twenty-one steps...
An Tong's general flag was still moving forward, getting closer and closer to Li Xia's dragon flag. This scene fell in Kublai Khan's eyes, and even Kublai Khan was a little shocked.
He didn't expect that An Tong, a child with such perseverance, could actually rush so close to Li Xia.
Many people in the Yuan army cheered and their morale was high.
So······
Kublai Khan looked at the sky again, and began to look forward to it getting dark soon.
Since An Tong was still advancing, his flag did not fall before dark. The last thing the warriors saw was that An Tong was still charging towards Li Xia.
The confidence of soldiers is very important.--
On the battlefield on the right wing, Naiyan raised his telescope and murmured: "He should shoot Li Xia."
"Your Majesty, An Tong cannot shoot Li Xia."
"But he can make the soldiers on both sides think that he shot Li Xia." Naiyan looked a little sarcastic and said, "It seems that I underestimated him."
I have to say that An Tong made Naiyan look at him with admiration today.
Once a friendly force surprises you on the battlefield, this kind of motivational effect is very extraordinary, making people feel that the hope of victory seems to be greater.
Naiyan immediately ordered: "Blow the trumpet and charge!" "Moo..."
The large flag embroidered with a cross is also moving forward to contain the Tang army and create greater opportunities for friendly forces.
--
Twenty-seven steps, twenty-eight steps... A grenade fell in front of An Tong. "Bang!"
The screams came, but several Yuan soldiers stood in front of An Tong and were blown to the ground.
A small piece of iron was nailed into An Tong's face, causing his face to be covered in blood. "Stop them!"
"Quick! Stop them..."
Ahead, the Tang army kept attacking
shouted.
An Tong, however, kept grinning and continued to move forward.
It was getting dark soon. Although he failed to break the formation and rush into Li Xia's tent, he disrupted the Tang army's plan.
Obviously, he fought this battle better than the Tang army expected. The more so, the easier it was for Tang soldiers to be surprised and make mistakes.
On the contrary, he will be more confident and calm.
An Tong has been able to calmly judge the Tang army's arrangement, which is to arrange the troops from Sichuan, Sichuan and Guanzhong on the front line, and close to the main tent are the Han troops from Hebei.
The strength of the Han army's surrender was obviously weaker. This was Li Xia's first oversight...
"puff."
Suddenly, a spear stabbed diagonally in front of him, at the exact angle to pierce a person's throat.
At the same time, a general of the Tang army shouted: "The formation is in chaos! You haven't fought for several years and you can't even kill people? You are not allowed to retreat, we are all attacking!"
"Stab!" "Puff, puff, puff, puff."
An Tong squinted his eyes and saw Jia Wenbei riding his horse to the front of the battle, waving his whip and shouting.
Tang Jun readjusted some formations. "Kill through!"
"prick."
No more grenades were thrown, no more arrows were fired, and no more shouting. The Tang army calmed down and made adjustments. The result was that the formation was more orderly, the attack was more consistent, and the atmosphere was calmer.
However, they simply blocked the way of these Yuan army death squads.
The spears pierced the throat at a precise angle, each time in a row, and it was too late for the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty to block it with their swords.
"kill him·····"
An Tong was still shouting, but with a "pop" sound, his throat was opened and his voice leaked out.
He still tried to hold on to the big flag in his hand, but he couldn't stop it from falling slowly.
Looking up at the sky, it was not completely dark yet.
But at least, he proved his innocence to the Great Khan. The descendants of Muhuali did not betray the Great Mongolia... "Pfft."
There was another muffled sound and more bodies fell to the ground.
Jia Wen rushed forward, kicked down the flag that was still shaking, raised his sword and cut off An Tong's head, muttering to himself.
"I rushed thirty steps, and I'm still so crazy that I'm so crazy... a waste." --
"Hey!"
Naiyan suddenly reined in the reins, took out the sight tube again and looked ahead, only to find that An Tong's flag had fallen down in just a few breaths.
"Uh, Xiute, so fast?"
However, Naiyan had already ordered a charge, so he moved his telescope to look in the direction of Kublai Khan, wondering whether Kublai Khan was still planning to fight at night.
Not long after, the horns from the north were heard getting louder and louder, which was the order to continue the night battle.
"Kublai Khan didn't mean to trick me into giving the charge." Naiyan thought to himself.
Thinking again, even An Tong could almost kill Li Xia's army. He gritted his teeth, became cruel, and continued to rush forward...
