Chapter 1041 Wedge Tactics

At ten o'clock in the morning, at the south gate of Lin'an City.

In just one hour of siege, the Mongolian warrior commando had already changed three waves one after another. Apart from being stained with blood, the south gate was still as strong as a pity, standing proudly.

For the Mongolian warriors, this hour was a complete disaster. Some were smashed into meat sauce by stones, some were scalded with hot vegetable oil into roast pigs, and some were killed by strong bows and crossbows.

The way of death is different, but the destination is the same.

As time passed, there was no progress in the siege battle, and the face of Zhang Hongfan, the commander of the Mongolian army, became more and more serious.

Although Kublai Khan didn't say anything, there was an invisible pressure that seemed to crush Zhang Hongfan.

Zhang Hongfan had no choice but to grit his teeth, hateful, and sent wave after wave of troops to the battlefield in an attempt to break through the gate of Lin'an City with a violent attack.

The tenacity of the defenders in the Southern Song Dynasty and the fierce counterattack were completely beyond Zhang Hongfan's expectations.

"how so?!"

Zhang Hongfan, as the first lieutenant under Boyan's tent, attacked the Southern Song Dynasty together with Boyan, and captured not 30 cities in the Southern Song Dynasty, but also 20. He had never encountered such tenacious resistance.

"Is this still the weak and deceitful Song people I know?"

Standing on the top of the command tower, Zhang Hongfan couldn't believe his eyes as he looked at the fearless Southern Song recruits on the city wall.

It was as if someone cast some magic on Lin'an City overnight.

The people in the whole city became excited, swept away the previous decadence and cowardice, became full of blood, turned into wolves, and wanted to fight the Mongols.

"What a strange nation."

Zhang Hongfan muttered to himself, his expression was very bad, the hole cards in his hand were getting less and less, once the hole cards were exhausted, if there was no good result, what awaited him would be ruthless sanctions.

All the promotion of officials and ranks is false.

At this moment, a messenger came from the stairs of the command tower, who was the imperial guard who followed Kublai Khan. "General, His Majesty has an order to let you go to the Imperial Palace."

When Zhang Hongfan heard this, his feet went limp and he almost lost his footing. He was wondering if His Majesty had been completely disappointed in him and was going to execute him on the spot as a sacrifice to the military flag.

Fear hit Zhang Hongfan like a tidal wave. For a moment, Zhang Hongfan even thought about jumping off the command tower and dying.

"General?"

Seeing that Zhang Hongfan's face was cloudy and uncertain, the orderly sent out a reminder.

"Oh, okay, okay, I'll go right away."

Zhang Hongfan suddenly woke up and felt ashamed of his thoughts just now, how could this happen, he is a general, how could he be so cowardly.

Even if you want to die, you have to die dignifiedly.

In the final analysis, the successive setbacks in the recent period have greatly affected Zhang Hongfan's confidence.

…………

Under the leadership of the messengers, Zhang Hongfan soon met Kublai Khan.

Kublai Khan sat on the throne, his expression was no longer as relaxed as it was at the beginning, but it was not very dignified either. As a hero of a generation, Kublai Khan had never seen such a big storm.

"Zhang Qing, I want to know how long it will take to take Lin'an City." Because surrounded by a group of Han courtiers, Kublai Khan was proficient in learning the ways of the Han emperor.

Zhang Hongfan opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't utter a single word. Of course he wanted to pat his chest and say something like "Lin'an will definitely be captured within half a day", but he didn't dare.

Seeing this, Kublai Khan said lightly, "Zhang Qing, I am very disappointed!"

After hearing this, Zhang Hongfan knelt down almost like a conditioned reflex, kowtowed and said: "The final general has failed His Majesty's entrustment, he deserves death, and he is willing to be punished!"

As he spoke, he repeatedly kowtowed and broke his forehead.

Kublai Khan watched the "performance" of his beloved general, hesitantly, for a long time, he said: "Get up, we have to discuss the crimes after the war. I will send you another 100,000 troops, and if you can't take Lin'an City, raise your head." See."

Zhang Hongfan was indeed sober, he did not rush to respond, but once again expressed his loyalty to Kublai Khan, and said worriedly: "The last general dare not."

"Why don't you dare? Could it be that you were frightened by the Southern Song Dynasty?" Kublai Khan suddenly had a fierce killing intent, like a wolf king on the grassland, ready to tear the enemy to pieces at any time.

Kublai Khan had no room for a cowardly general.

"The last general is not afraid, the last general is worried about His Majesty's safety. The enemy has deployed 200,000 troops to the north, and another 100,000 will be deployed. The last general is worried that the Southern Song Dynasty will take the initiative to attack." Zhang Hongfan explained.

Kublai Khan's expression slowed down slightly, and the killing intent faded away without a trace, and he said: "You don't need to worry about this. I have 300,000 troops to guard, not to mention whether the Southern Song Dynasty dared to take the initiative to attack, even if they attack, they will definitely let them Back and forth."

After all, he had never seen the power of the Alien Army with his own eyes. Kublai Khan still had full confidence in the Mongolian cavalry under his command.

Kublai Khan still did not believe that there was a stronger army than his in this world. The disastrous defeat of the previous raid, those losers naturally exaggerated to the enemy in order to shirk their guilt.

He is convinced.

As the old saying goes, experience can help, and experience can kill.

Kublai Khan has made the mistake of "empiricism" now, inferring opponents based on past combat experience. How could he know that there is a broader main plane outside the battle map.

Although Zhang Hongfan disagreed somewhat, he no longer argued. The 100,000 reinforcements were his last hope to make a comeback. Of course he had to hold on to them firmly in order to save his own fate.

That's how things settled down.

Soon, 100,000 Mongolian troops left the Beidaying army formation and moved to the east and west.

…………

Lin'an City, North Tower.

Guo Ziyi, as the general of the 200,000 army, did not appear on the battlefield, but stayed in the North Tower. He is condescending, observing every move of the enemy, ready to attack at any time.

In order to confront the army of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongolian army also walked out of the North Camp and lined up in front of the camp. The Mongolian army has a team of 10,000 people, with a total of forty cavalry phalanxes, which makes people's scalp numb.

Such a shocking war scene can only appear in the game world.

Kublai Khan's royal driver also appeared on the battlefield, but in the middle and rear position. Forty cavalry phalanxes are arranged in four rows and ten columns, and Kublai Khan's personal guard phalanx is located in the fourth row and fifth column.

At this moment, 50,000 troops on each side of the phalanx moved to the two wings. It was the 100,000 troops ordered by Kublai Khan to go to the two wings for reinforcements.

Even so, the entire cavalry phalanx could not be seen at a glance. No wonder Kublai Khan was so confident.

Guo Ziyi also showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's finally moving, I'm afraid you won't move!" Before the war, the Military Aircraft Department had a detailed evaluation of Jia Xu's strategy.

With the strength of 150,000 cavalry, it can only resist 350,000 Mongolian cavalry at most. It is too reluctant to exceed this number, so the beheading plan can only be abandoned.

For this reason, Wu Qi, who commanded the defense battle in the city, had to mobilize all the defense forces to show their strength, so as to attract the enemy to reinforce the front line.

Sure enough, Kublai Khan was fooled, and he dispatched a hundred thousand troops at once.

In this way, the situation is very good for the Southern Song camp.

When the 100,000 Mongolian cavalry gradually disappeared, Guo Ziyi began to move.

"Order, the whole army is ready!"

With a wave of the commanding flag at the head of the city, the troops below the city immediately received the signal, and the order was passed down layer by layer quickly and accurately like waves, until it was passed on to every cavalryman.

With that order, all the cavalry officers and soldiers were shocked, and began to check the equipment in the shortest time to confirm that they were in the best combat condition.

A big battle is about to break out.

"Attack!"

Guo Ziyi was very decisive without any hesitation.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The drums are beating and the flags are flying.

The left wing, who made great achievements in the raid and beheaded Boyan's fierce general Elai, suddenly opened his sleepy eyes, and the Rakshasa under him cheered up.

"Boys, follow me to kill!"

Evil came without a second word, lightly knocked the Rakshasa under him, like a sharp arrow, rushed to the opposite Mongolian army first.

The 50,000 fine riders started rumbling like a whole, and smoke and dust billowed for a while.

The strange thing is that instead of a conventional straight charge, the left-wing cavalry followed the evil trajectory, inserted obliquely from the left into the middle ground, and took a big slash.

At the same time, Zhao Zhuang's department on the right also set off.

Like the left wing, the right wing also inserted obliquely from the right into the middle zone. If nothing unexpected happened, the armies of the two wings would meet in the middle zone of the enemy army.

During this process, the 50,000 fine cavalry of the Chinese army did not move at all, and they did not intend to charge at all.

A strange charge!

The abnormality of the Alien Legion was quickly noticed by the Mongolian army on the opposite side. Kublai Khan got the report, and suddenly stood up from his seat, grinning and said: "They really dare to come, okay, let's have a good fight."

Although he was the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan had the blood of the grassland gold family flowing in his body. He was a warrior himself, a general who killed countless enemies.

Regarding the battlefield, Kublai Khan was not stage frightened at all.

On the contrary, the proactive provocation of the Alien Legion aroused the warlike gene in Kublai Khan's body. He could no longer contain the boiling blood in his body and decided to fight a battle.

"Hula! Hula!"

Surrounding Kublai Khan were all elite Mongolian cavalry, and they were naturally fearless. With the order of the military, they turned into wolves one by one, eager to choose someone to eat.

Almost at the same time, the Mongolian cavalry army moved, first the first line, then the second line, the third line, and the fourth line, like overwhelming mountains and seas, and it was about to set off a stormy sea.

During the whole process, only the phalanx where Kublai Khan was located was the center, and the five surrounding phalanxes did not move, and they faithfully guarded the surroundings, serving as the last line of defense to defend His Majesty the Emperor.

The wind is roaring, the horse is screaming, and the earth is roaring.

At about eleven o'clock in the morning, a sudden cavalry confrontation was staged in the northern suburb of Lin'an City.

Because the number of cavalry units facing each other was too large, the billowing smoke and dust from the charging cavalry almost flooded the entire battlefield.

In the billowing smoke and dust, the Central Army of the Alien Legion began to move!
