Chapter 1095
There are many people in the camp of the Yuan army who are grilling meat.

Because there are too many dead cattle and sheep, and the weather is heavy rain, it is not suitable for drying meat.

The soldiers put up tarpaulins to cover the rain, and finally lit the bonfire, and had to dry the firewood and cow dung before throwing it into the fire.

Most of the soldiers who roasted meat were from the Han army, while the soldiers from Mongolia chewed raw meat and sat there to warm up.

In such weather, Tan Ma could not be let out too far, and the sight line was not good when standing on the watchtower.Fortunately, earth walls have been built around the camp to prevent the Tang army from attacking and prevent floods from coming up.

Tang Jun hadn't come close, but he had already climbed a small hill belonging to the Helan Mountains in the distance.

Tachar originally planned to send troops to take back the small hill, but the peace negotiation has not yet come to fruition, so he had to tolerate it for the time being.

"Oh!"

Suddenly something was fired from the top of the hill, and it happened to smash the barbecue on the bonfire into the air.

Youyuan Jun glanced at the object that was thrown over him, his face paled in shock, he quickly picked it up, and rushed to the big tent.

……

Such weather is not a good time for war.

On rainy days, the Yuan army fired too many arrows, which would inevitably damage the bowstring, and the Tang army's firearms could not be used, not to mention other inconveniences.

Therefore, Tachar never launched an offensive when he attacked Xiangfan when it was raining continuously.

At this time too, he didn't think the Tang army would attack, and was discussing military discussions with Sajis in the big tent.

Naturally, the discussion was about whether Li Xia might agree to a peace negotiation.

"If he is sensible enough, he will agree." Sajith pulled his beard and pondered: "Since the Battle of Diaoyu City, Li Xia has been fighting for a year without stopping. Last year he just fought with Song Guo tore his face, now is the time to recuperate."

Tachar asked, "Then why doesn't he rest and recuperate?"

Sajisi smiled wryly, and said, "Presumably this is what those people in the Jinlianchuan shogunate are thinking about."

He sighed, and seemed to have acquired the temperament of the Han scholars and bureaucrats who worried about the country and the people, and said: "Now is not the time to think about these things. Even if Li Xia doesn't need to rest and recuperate, he must not have the national strength to continue fighting, and he should agree to the king." peace talk."

For decades, the Great Mongol Kingdom has been attacking the other countries, even if there is a small setback, it has always been the countries seeking peace, and it is inevitable that they have developed an extremely arrogant attitude.

Tachar and Sajith are the most humble group of people. They don't make excessive demands on Li Xia, and they are not indulged in arrogance. They can still use the word "should".

"Should? If he doesn't hand over the real gold, even if I don't want to fight anymore, I have to fight him to the death."

The detectives who went to Heishui City have returned. They already know about Dong Wenbing's defeat, but the whereabouts of Zhenjin are still unclear. Tachar guessed that he might have been captured by Tang Jun.

He still has an army of more than [-]. If he really fights, he may not be unable to win.

But not necessary.

The same is true for Li Xia, handing over the real gold is better than losing both sides.

"If we really want to fight to the death, we have great confidence in defeating Li Xia, Tuerhan..."

"Report!"

Suddenly a notification sounded.

"It's not good, look at it, Your Majesty!"

The curtain was lifted, and Tachar turned his head to look, and saw a head being held there, it wasn't Arumir, whoever it was.

For a moment, Tachar seemed to have seen Li Xia's determination, the determination to fight to the end with one soldier.

Since the rise of the Great Mongol Kingdom, I have met several times such people who show their determination to kill envoys, such as Gao Taihe from Dali and Wang Jian from Diaoyu City, all of which can bring a lot of casualties to the Mongolian army.

Others only think that the Mongolian army is invincible. In fact, the Mongolian army is also very afraid of encountering such a person.

Tachar didn't want to fight at first, but this battle had to be fought.It felt like he was lying in a warm blanket on a rainy day in winter, but he was suddenly pulled up and thrown outside in the cold wind.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

At this time, at the foot of Shizui Mountain, the sound of war drums had already sounded, and the Tang army wanted to attack even on a rainy day.

"E Xiu Te!"

"Don't panic, my lord. Our fodder for cattle and sheep has been washed away by the flood. It is not suitable to fight for a long time." Sajisi said: "It's fine if Li Xia wants to fight now. We have an advantage in fighting now."

The matter has come to this point, there is no way to avoid it, Tachar can only fight this battle with all his heart.

His record is not very good. In Meng Ge's era, he attacked Lianghuai and Xiangfan without fighting.

Because his fief is in Liaodong, what he really wants to do is to annex Goryeo, but Meng Ge just doesn't want him to get involved in Goryeo, and deliberately recruits him to attack the Song Dynasty, so Tachar deliberately doesn't work hard.

These records do not mean that he will not fight.

But on the other hand, when a commander faces the battlefield and gives in to political needs, it is basically difficult for him to become a real famous general.

In comparison, Yang Ben is much purer.

~~
"The Yuan army has more troops. They still have at least 1 soldiers, but look at how their soldiers are distributed. Here, there is an army of [-] yuan on the embankment south of Xingqing Mansion. We must Defeat Tachar's main force before they arrive. Looking at the north of the Shizuishan camp, Tachaer has deployed nearly [-] troops. What to do? Digging drainage ditches. It can be seen that he does not want to fight an offensive and defensive battle with us, he wants to fight a field battle , I didn’t expect that we would go to war now.”

What Yang Ben did before the battle was to seriously analyze the enemy's military deployment, and he didn't hold the idea of ​​negotiating peace, and he didn't hold the luxury of easy victory.

"Thus, although the Yuan army has many troops, it has no aggressive intentions. It is like a shield. Although our troops are small, they are more concentrated, like spears. In this battle, what the spears have to do is to pierce the shield powerfully and go straight into it. In Yuan Jun's heart."

"Do you understand how to fight?"

"Go forward bravely and go straight to Tachaer!"

"Okay! The ministries will listen to the order..."

After Yang Ben had assigned military orders, he turned to look at Li Xia, a little nervous.

"Your Majesty, the general is leaving now."

Li Xia nodded.

This is only Helan Mountain, and there will be Yinshan Mountain and Yanran Mountain in the future. Li Xia knew that it would be unrealistic for him to go on a personal expedition by then. This general from the Qingfu Army will fight this battle, whether he wins or loses. field sharpen.

Amidst the sound of war drums, soldiers of the Tang army began to wade through the flood and head towards the camp of the Yuan army.

They didn't ride horses, their boots were completely submerged in the water, and they stepped in the mud and sand, and every step seemed a bit strenuous.When they rushed to the front of the camp, they discovered that the Yuan army had dug a deep ditch in front of the fence.

Many soldiers of the Tang army stepped on the ground and fell into the water completely, gulping their stomachs full of water.

The rain of arrows from the Yuan army was not dense. Many people rushed forward and stabbed the soldiers of the Tang army who fell in the deep ditch with long weapons.

Soon, the yellowing flood was dyed red.

Tang Jun didn't throw thunderbolt cannons either, and basically started hand-to-hand combat as soon as the battle started.

"Swim over! Tear down their fence!" the generals yelled.

Some brave soldiers simply took off their armor, plunged into the deep ditch, jumped up from the bottom of the water to the camp fence, jumped over the fence and hacked at the Yuan army.

A few yuan soldiers just came out of the tent, and they were cut down to the ground with a "poof" before they got used to the wet feeling.

The two sides fought hand-to-hand, and the only advantage of the soldiers of the Tang army who had been soaked in water was that they were more willing to "break the jar and smash" than the soldiers of the Yuan army.

~~
"Look, my lord, the enemy soldiers are all trapped in the deep ditch we dug."

Sajisi accompanied Tachar to the high platform, pointed out the battle that happened in front of the barracks at the beginning of the battle, and said: "With their strength, they can't bear such casualties. We will win this battle."

Tachar nodded in satisfaction, and was not ashamed of being a Mongolian warrior who used this kind of fortification defense tactic.

Although he has always praised the bravery of Genghis Khan, as the third generation of the Golden Family, he can only fight so far.

Turning his eyes away from the fighting of those pawns at the barracks, he turned to Li Xia's dragon flag in the distance, and said, "I thought he would commit suicide himself."

"Of course he won't charge forward again. After all, he considers himself an emperor." Sajith smiled, looking a little mocking, and said: "Look, my lord, Tang Jun already knows how to fight this battle. They We want to directly attack Your Majesty's central tent while our forces are not concentrated."

"They can't attack." Tachar said.

The tone of the two of them seemed a little leisurely.

"Li Xia doesn't even think about it. We can send envoys to meet him because we already know that he is stationed at Helan Mountain. Maybe we don't know how to call back the troops from the south embankment?"

"He was lucky, he won too many battles, he was too negligent."

"My lord, I haven't finished talking just now. Tu Erhan's messenger has arrived, saying that he withdrew from the south embankment and led 3000 people to detour to Helan Mountain to attack Li Xia."

Tacha'er let out a soft snort, and said, "If Li Xia agrees to my terms, I will order Tu Erhan to stop, but unfortunately he didn't."

"In the words of the Han people, this is called 'to blame yourself'..."

~~
At the same time, Li Xia was also watching the battlefield.

The peaks of the Helan Mountains stood behind him, as if protecting him from behind.

Suddenly, a soldier rushed forward and said: "Your Majesty, it's not good! A group of Yuan troops came around from the banche ditch in the southwest, and it was only three miles away from the camp!"

Li Xia turned around, a little surprised.

He really didn't expect Tachar to have such a hand.

At this moment, it seems that besides negotiating peace, the envoy Arumier may also have another function to confuse him, Li Xia, and make him think that Tachaer is unprepared for war.

Huo Xiaolian hurriedly stepped forward and clasped her fists, saying: "Your Majesty, please move immediately!"

"No hurry, how many people are there in the Yuan army?"

"For the time being, there are more than [-] people coming from Banchegou."

Huo Xiaolian said: "But what the general is afraid of is that once His Majesty is dragged by these two thousand people, there are still thousands of yuan troops coming from the south..."

"Are you really afraid?"

Huo Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, then she straightened her waist and said, "Don't be afraid of the last general, the last general will be the pick of the front camp!"

"That's right, if it wasn't because I'm here, why would you, Huo Xiaolian, have any scruples? But I'm here to cover the soldiers, not to hold them back... Take my long spear!"

~~
At the Shizuishan camp, Tang Jun finally toppled the barracks and entered the camp.

In Helan Mountain, the cavalry of the Yuan army had already circled the ditch of the cart and went straight to kill Li Xia.

Both sides are fighting for the coach directly, and the winner is just to see who can carry it longer.Was it Yang Ben who defeated Tachar first, or Tuerhan who defeated Li Xia first?
In the distance, a Tang army's scout horse climbed to a high place to inquire about the situation on the battlefield. The pegasus rushed to Xingqing Mansion and reported the information to Li Zengbo.

Li Zengbo lowered his head and marked on the map, then nodded.

"Tachal's advantage lies in his large number of soldiers and flexible tactics. However, the Yellow River was so flooded that he was trapped, and the cavalry's advantage could not be exploited. Now that he is fighting like this, it is equivalent to a contest between him and His Majesty. The victory or defeat is determined. what."

The old man stared at the map, his mind turned away from the battle of Shizuishan.

"Is it really possible to regain Hetao? How could Kublai Khan let this move..."
