Chapter 1120 He hit him
The snow is getting heavier.

In the Yuan army formation to the south, under a large Yang character flag, Yang Wen'an looked at Zhang Jue's flag in the distance with a binocular, and said, "It really is like this."

He used to be a very handsome young man, but now he has an arrow hole in his face, which makes him look a little scary.

Fortunately, the ability to lead troops to fight has not changed because of this.

"It's easy to guess Zhang Jue's plan. It depends on what his purpose is. Destroy the ship without retreating, and defend Jiuyuan City, so that Guanzhong can have time to prepare troops. After this goal is completed, he must shrink back to Guanzhong. I reminded Mangudai ten days ago that Zhang Jue would have to cross the Yellow River on ice."

Yang Wenzhong said: "Unfortunately, the busy Gu belt failed to stop Zhang Jue from breaking out of Jiuyuan City."

"Brother, don't feel sorry for it." Yang Wen'an said: "It is enough for me to stop Zhang Jue here. Kublai Khan will understand that I am much more capable of fighting than those Mongolian nobles."

"Here we are, call your majesty."

"Hmm." Yang Wen'an lightly touched the scabbed wound on his face, and said, "Your Majesty can clearly see that if we want to defeat Li Xia, we must rely on the Han army."

In the distance, there was a sound of Tang Jun's shouting and cursing floating over.

"It's the traitors from Dahuo City who surrendered to Meng Yuan! Kill them..."

~~
Liu Jinsuo has rushed into the Yuan army.

For a few moments, he did feel a sense of familiarity.

The enemy soldiers also dismounted and fought on foot, wearing infantry armor, with a tight front line, and the fighting was not as loose as the previous Yuan army.

Like the Song Army, it is more strictly disciplined than most of the Song Army... These two characteristics together make it a very terrifying army.Although many people don't believe this, after all, Yue's army was destroyed by the Great Wall.

In short, the two armies that were fighting on the ice at this time were also based on Zhao Song's Sichuan army.

After the fighting started, Liu Jinsuo discovered that the enemy was more difficult to fight than the Mongolian army.

When I was in Hetao, when I fought against the Manggu belt, I felt that the Mongolian army under the command of Manggu belt was loose and loose, far inferior to the Mongolian army under the command of Mengge, Wulianghetai, and Wang Dechen.

On the contrary, Yang Wen'an's soldiers and horses make people feel stronger.

This is really ridiculous.

We have fought against Mongolia in the weak Song Dynasty for so many years, and we have always felt that Mongolia is too strong and terrible, but today we find that the Sichuan army from the weak Song Dynasty is still more powerful.

incredible.

Liu Jinsuo knew what was going on, because Li Xia had discussed this issue with others.

At the beginning, the Mongolian army was very strong, so they defeated the Semu people, took the Semu people to subdue the Central Plains people, then used the Central Plains people to attack Sichuan and Shu, and then recruited Sichuan soldiers to fight Jiangnan.

Decades have passed, and in the nearly 30 to [-] years of war, the people who are really fighting, fighting, and struggling in blood and fire are precisely the people from the north and the people from Sichuan.

Seemingly absurd questions always have their own reasons.

When Liu Jinsuo pierced a Yuan soldier's throat with his spear and looked into the opponent's eyes, he couldn't help but feel sad for these soldiers of Dahuo City.

He felt that it was Yang Dayuan's decision to surrender that ruined the lives of these soldiers.Of course, he never thought that if Meng Yuan finally won the world, then Yang Dayuan would be right.

Suddenly, there was a shout from the front.

"Kill them through!"

Liu Jinsuo took a look, and sure enough, he saw that Cheng Cong and his troops had finally made a gap in the right wing.

He hurriedly led troops to make up for it, consolidating the results of the battle.

"Let's go! Get out!"

"Hold General Cheng's flag!"

"..."

Liu Jinsuo looked under the flag, but he didn't see Cheng Cong, only heard the wailing of soldiers.

The snow in the sky mixed with the blood on the ground, it was dirty, Liu Jinsuo ran across the bloody mud quickly, not caring to look at it.

But for a moment, he thought how angry Cheng Cong, who was born in Diaoyu City, would be when he saw those soldiers from Dahuo City still fighting for Meng Yuan, so he rushed forward desperately and finally broke through the line.

"You can't lose the achievements of Lao Cheng! Kill them! Kill them!"

"Kill it!"

~~
"There is a gap over there." Yang Wenzhong put down the binocular and pointed to the right wing.

Turning his head, he found that Yang Wen'an had already seen it.

"Aren't you going to send troops to make up for it?" He asked again.

"Reluctance." Yang Wen'an said, "Our soldiers are all elites brought from Dahuo City, and we are reluctant to send them. Brother, look, Zhang Jue's soldiers are now a mad tiger, and one of them was injured. A mad tiger that wants to rush back to the forest will really bite people hard."

"If you don't make it up, Zhang Jue will run away."

"We've been blocked for long enough, it's because the busy Gu belt didn't outflank it in time."

Yang Wen'an glanced at Zhang Jue's banner again, thinking that he could avenge the defeat of Ansai City now.

As long as he is willing to bear the loss, he can annihilate Zhang Jue.

But his father was a loyal minister and martyr who had already died for Zhao Song. He did not come to Meng Yuan to be a loyal minister, but to be a prince.

"When you meet a crazy tiger that wants to escape, just shoot it with an arrow. Let's leave as many heads as possible to repay the merit."

"Yes!"

The Yuan army changed its tactics, stopped blocking, and started chasing and shooting arrows.

~~
Urad Ranch, Yuan army camp.

Kublai Khan, who was originally sitting by the bonfire, dropped the battle report in his hand, stood up and walked outside the tent, looking at the Yellow River to the south, his face darkened.

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside the tent, it's still advanced..."

"Cold?" Kublai Khan got angry on the spot, "Mongols from the grasslands are afraid of the cold, but don't those Han people from the south of the Yangtze River be afraid of the cold?"

Seeing him angry, the people around him fell to their knees.

"Your Majesty calm down, the minister made a slip of the tongue."

"Khan, we are not afraid of the cold. Busy Gudai has already gone south to chase Zhang Jue."

Kublai Khan strode out into the cold wind, letting the snow cover his boots and blowing his hat off.

A group of courtiers hurriedly followed and stood there with him.

Afterwards, people from all over the camp rushed over and stood with their sweat and emperor under the wind and snow.

After a long time, someone still invited Queen Chabi out.

"Khan, what happened to make you so angry?"

"This is still Ben Khan's personal conquest."

Kublai Khan finally spoke, the voice was not loud, but it was like a muffled thunder rolling from the ground.

"This is still Ben Khan standing here, and you can fight so slowly. If Ben Khan is not here, will you have to fight until next spring, or let Li Xia flee back to Chang'an to prepare troops? "

When he said this, he turned around and pointed to the officials behind him, and asked, "Is it going to be the end of the fight, and it's going to be nothing?!"

He said the four words "nothing to stop" in Chinese, and the accent was actually a bit funny.

But no one dared to laugh, and they all stood there holding their breath, silently enduring Kublai Khan's anger.

Everyone knew that the facts were probably exactly what Kublai Khan said.If it wasn't for the imperial conquest, the commander must be Tacha'er with the highest status. When the Zongwang attacked Xiangfan, he could retreat because of the rain, and of course he could retreat because of the heavy snow this winter.

The problem is that the progress of the Yujia's personal conquest is still very slow.

Li Xia was not killed, and even lost his trace in the siege and interception of various armies; Li Zengbo had fortified the walls and cleared the fields in Xingqing Mansion, and the Yuan army attacked the city for half a month, and has not broken the city so far; now Zhang Jue has even crossed the Yellow River.

There seems to be some kind of force blocking Kublai Khan from somewhere, preventing him from making a crucial progress.

Every day in the big tent, he roasted a bonfire and drank wine. Today, he suddenly understood that these people were not dedicated and did not regard this war as a national war that endangered their survival.

"You guys still think that the Mongolian Kingdom is at its peak, and you think you can manage it slowly. Ben Khan tells you that if you can't kill Li Xia this time, you won't be able to control him anymore!"

This sentence was about to be shouted out, but Kublai Khan stopped it in the end. It was impossible for him to admit that the Mongolian Kingdom was not as good as it used to be.

Fortunately, once he got angry like this, it was enough to inspire and cheer up the civil servants and generals under his command.

When Kublai Khan was brought back to the big tent again, Zhang Wenqian pointed out the situation of the battle again, and his movements became much easier.

"I think there are two reasons why the progress of the current war is slow. First, we are too concerned about Li Xia's whereabouts, waiting here for him to come to attack the camp, but he did not come. Second, we have been waiting for the main force Come back from the Western Regions."

Kublai Khan said coldly, "Ben Khan has been waiting for Li Xia to attack the camp for too long."

Zhang Yi hastily stepped out and knelt down in front of Kublai Khan, saying: "This minister made a mistake in his speculation and delayed the battle opportunity. Your Majesty please punish him severely."

Fortunately, someone came into the account at this time and said: "Khan, Hong Hongfan and Yang Wen'an are here."

……

When the two young marshals walked into the big tent at the same time, Kublai Khan's expression finally softened.

Up to now, he knows very well which talents are truly capable of fighting.

"My Jiuba are all here, as well as Yang Wen'an, Ben Khan knows all about your contributions to the frontier all these years."

"Minister Zhang Hongfan pays homage to Your Majesty." Zhang Hongfan, who is proficient in Mongolian, saluted first.

Yang Wen'an's Mongolian knowledge is average, but he didn't understand it at this time. After someone translated it, he responded in jerky Mongolian: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"Haha, my two fierce tigers are both young and heroic. Wen An, you don't have to be depressed because of the injuries on your face. The scars of a man on the grassland are an honor, and Ben Khan will naturally reward you as a concubine."

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness."

Yang Wen'an thought to himself, it's far better to seal off a territory and let him be the chief of the military and civilians than to reward these things.

However, Kublai Khan did not hold him accountable for his defeat in Ansai City, and Zhang Jue escaped on the Yellow River, so he was still relieved.

After listening in the tent for a while, I learned that since Kublai Khan's personal conquest, the two generals who have killed the most enemies are him and Zhang Hongfan, at least both of them have won.

"The two marshals have made great military exploits at a young age..."

Hearing the flattery of others, Yang Wen'an glanced at Zhang Hongfan, and he didn't think highly of this son of a nobleman, thinking that all the responsibilities he had undertaken were not comparable to this little loyal dog.

Out of the corner of his eye, Zhang Hongfan walked to the map and talked about the situation.

"I think that the slow progress of the war is because we were led by Li Xia. We stopped to search when he crossed the Yin Mountain. When Zhang Jue captured Jiuyuan City, we besieged the city and waited for him to consume it. In other words , the battlefield is controlled by Li Xia."

Kublai Khan looked at Yang Wen'an and said, "Say it."

Yang Wen'an said in Chinese: "Marshal Zhang is right. In addition, I have some news that the Tang army has mobilized troops from various places under its rule to go north. This is the posture of going to war with the Yuan with the power of the whole country. So , Li Xia and Zhang Jue's intentions are obvious, to delay until they prepare their troops. They don't intend to give up on Xixia and Longxi."

Zhang Hongfan said: "I have another speculation. I believe that Li Xia crossed the Yin Mountain to sneak attack on King Anxi's army..."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the big tent was shocked and discussions arose.

Yang Wen'an glanced at Zhang Hongfan again, knowing that he was outmatched by the opponent so far, so he stood aside and said nothing.

And all the Mongolian kings were very displeased, shouting "impossible".

"It is impossible for Li Xia to defeat King Anxi's army, which is more than [-] soldiers."

"More than one hundred thousand soldiers are invisible. With Li Xia's ability to use troops, what is the significance of the number? The key is the commander." Zhang Hongfan said, "If it were me, I would be [-]% sure that I would be able to defeat King Anxi..."

Afterwards, Zhang Hongfan started pointing on the map.

At the end of the conversation, everyone in the big tent fell silent.

Zhang Wenqian twitched his beard and murmured, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be necessary for His Majesty to send troops to rescue him?"

"No, if this is the case, Li Xia will lead the way, and the army will move back and forth in Mobei, which will cost a lot of money and will only mess up the situation."

"Then what does Jiu Ba think?"

Yang Wen'an turned his head to look at Zhang Hongfan, murmuring the answer in a low voice.

"Don't care about him, he hits his, we hit ours."

really.

"Regardless of him, if Li Xia attacks King Anxi's army, he will have to harass it repeatedly to disperse the army's morale before he has a chance. Besides, the road to Mobei is far away, and he is not so fast. And His Majesty's personal conquest, he can go south with a thunderbolt, without waiting for Li Xia By defeating King Anxi, Your Majesty has destroyed Tang."

"That's right, besides, Li Xia may not be able to defeat King Anxi, but His Majesty will definitely be able to secure Guanzhong."

Kublai Khan looked at Yang Wen'an, maybe it was an exam, maybe it was a test, and asked, "What do you think?"

"My minister agrees!"

"Which way to go?"

"Your Majesty, the Tang army has assembled in Qin Zhidao, and we have not been able to stop Zhang Jue, so it is not easy to attack Guanzhong from the north. Attack Xingqing Mansion first..."
