Chapter 1124 Loyalty and bravery
"Yesterday, the sky will be dark and our soldiers are exhausted. Li Xia still has a chance of winning the decisive battle."

Brother Mang looked up and said, "As for today, it's still early and we have a whole day to complete the siege. How dare he attack? Bully."

"He knows that King Tuohu is coming soon." Yuxi Timur said, "So he wants to fight quickly."

"This man is very gambling." Brother Mang said, "I heard that people in Song Dynasty like to gamble, betting on insects, grass, balls, and dice. The emperor and the prime minister gamble in the hall."

At this time, Tang Jun and Yuan Jun had already confronted each other, but they still chatted leisurely.

When Yuxi Timur started dispatching soldiers and horses, Mangge turned his head and said to Li Dehui in a low voice: "Last night, a letter horse arrived, and Tuohu is already a hundred miles to the west. I have sent someone to tell him to go directly To Tolgoi . . . though not necessary."

"Your Highness, it is necessary, everything is just in case."

"I know Wang Xianghui said that, so I didn't ask you overnight, so as not to disturb your rest. Today's battle will be fought all day."

Li Dehui stroked his beard and pondered, "Did King Tuohu say where Lian Xixian is?"

"I haven't chased him for a long time, that is, when I passed Gaochang, I was bitten by the Uighur. Tuohu had to stop and fight him twice. Lian Xixian led his troops and fled immediately. So Tuohu Can catch up so quickly."

"That's good." Li Dehui thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "If there are no accidents, I can congratulate Your Highness in advance for his great contribution to annihilating Li Xia."

Mang Gela looked straight into Li Dehui's eyes calmly and asked, "What does this mean?"

"It's time for the Great Yuan to establish the foundation of the country."

After receiving this answer, Mang Gela felt numb from his fingers to his heart.

He was really lucky this year. First, when Zhenjin died, Li Xia suddenly ran up to him and let him annihilate him, as if Changshengtian had arranged for him to inherit the position of Khan.

Maybe this is the meaning of the words "True Destiny's Son"...

~~
The camp of the Yuan army had no fences, and even the antlers of the refusal antlers were not placed.I don't know if it's out of habit, or because it was already dark when they camped last night.

Short of this effort to set up camp, the Tang army got up early in the morning to eat, prepared and came to attack. The Yuan army had just woken up, and most of them didn't even bother to eat.

There are no fancy tactics. In today's battle, the Tang army is attacking in the direction of the commander-in-chief of the Yuan army.

The less tactics, the more hand-to-hand combat, the greater the casualties on both sides.

Gradually, more than a thousand corpses have been piled up on the front line.

Even if the soldiers who were injured and fell to the ground survived by luck, they would be trampled on the snow and turned into corpses.

Although Tang Jun showed stronger combat power, Li Xia was still dissatisfied.

What he wants is not to kill more Yuan troops, because even if it can cause twice the casualty ratio, based on the strength of the two sides, the Tang army will be defeated in the end.

To win more with less, what he wants is to directly defeat the Yuan army on this side before more Yuan army support comes up, or cut off the generals and capture the flag, so that the Yuan army's defenses will collapse and a big rout will occur.

This time it was still Yang Ben who commanded the troops to attack from the west, while Li Xia watched the battle from a high place in the camp.

The thunderous sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, which meant that the Yuan armies from the east, north, and south were approaching the camp.

"Here we come, go to battle." Li Xia said.

He put away the binoculars and got on his horse.

Duo Siman rode his horse and rushed to his side, his eyes were red from crying, and said: "You are injured, don't fight anymore, okay?"

"What to do, the enemy has already surrounded."

"I can kill the enemy. I am a descendant of Genghis Khan." Duo Siman was only worried about Li Xia, and the latter sentence was habitually blurted out.

Li Xia joked casually: "When Genghis Khan was also injured, Changshengtian bless him, and maybe he will bless me as well."

"I protect you."

The Mongolian woman had a bit of vigor, so she stepped on the stirrup and got on the horse's back without any further persuasion.

"Set off."

As soon as Huo Xiaolian heard the order, she rushed out ahead of Li Xia, thinking that how could a bean sprout-like woman be able to protect His Majesty, she had to rely on herself as the general of the front pick camp.

"Avoid the horse trap!"

They knew where the horse traps were arranged, and the team formed a long snake formation and galloped through the snow.

Li Xia didn't rush towards Yang Ben's direction.

Cavalry, of course, have cavalry style of play.

Three hundred riders ran west for a while, then suddenly turned south, and once again broke out of the Yuan army's encirclement.

If it was said that Li Xia fled eastward first to involve the Yuan army and helped Yang Ben lead the main force to break through yesterday, today it is the other way around.

Repeated use of a tactic can only make use of tacit understanding to make the Yuan army turn around.

The Yuan army was gathering in the direction of the commander-in-chief, making it inevitable that there would be gaps in the defense line. At the same time, it was really unexpected that Li Xia would leave the battlefield directly. After all, this would be a great blow to the morale of the Tang army.

~~
"Li Xia didn't leave!"

Yuxi Timur commanded a thousand-man team to pursue Li Xia from afar, and quickly glanced at Tang Jun's line.It was found that the Tang army had no obvious morale change at all because the dragon flag left the battlefield.

"He's going to go around the battlefield and sneak attack from behind us! It's still yesterday's move!"

Brother Mang sneered, "It's ridiculous for him to fight."

Only Li Dehui looked worried, thinking: "But Li Xia used the Mongolian cavalry style."

What worries him is that, watching the battle for two days in a row, in his opinion, Li Xia's tactics are more like Mongolian cavalry.On the contrary, the two young men, Manggela and Yuxi Timur, approached the battle step by step, looking a little dull... This is the reason for their lack of experience.In short, it is not like Mongolian cavalry.

How did Mongolian cavalry fight?Spread widely, weaken patience.When it comes to war, they gather or disperse at different times, come out or disappear, and take turns attacking the weak points of the enemy's formation.

Although the riding and archery skills of the Tang army were not as good as the Mongolian cavalry, they wore cotton armor and carried a small amount of throwing firearms, which made them more capable of charging than the Mongolian cavalry.

"Li Xia will come around from behind." Li Dehui had to remind in Mongolian.

"I know!" Yuxi Timur shouted in displeasure, not as calm as when the war started.

He is only 24 years old. Although he is very talented and brave, he has not fought such a battle a few times.It is not easy to mobilize an army of [-].

The Tang army was small in number, and Li Xia and Yang Ben had a tacit understanding. His unconstrained tactics and rapid execution of interspersed cooperation disrupted his position. Often orders were passed to the army, and the Tang army had already changed its tactics.

Yuxi Timur is still mobilizing troops to make up for the defense.

Amidst the wind and snow in the west, a small group of cavalry had already rushed out.

"E Xiu Te!"

Yuxi Timur finally cursed.

"Isn't this hyena afraid of death? Such a small number of people dare to hit us... block it and kill Li Xia!"

"quick!"

It has to be said that Yuan Jun was a little flustered.

Because to the west of the watchtower are tents, including cattle and sheep, luggage, and women accompanying the army.

Of course there were guards, and they were far more than 300.

But when Li Xia's dragon flag swept towards this side, they still felt panicked at the first moment.

"Li Xia is here! The warriors are going to kill him!"

"Fire arrows..."

Even the herd of cattle pulling the king's tent barked uncomfortably.

Ye Rihan opened the curtain and walked out.

Her face was flushed because she had been warming herself by the fire in the tent.

Last night she heard from Brother Mang that the annihilation of Li Xia had only been done in the past few days, and after such a great achievement, he would definitely be unable to escape, which inevitably made people feel very good.

However, the bad mood came very quickly.

The soldiers of the Yuan army nearby rushed westward like a tide, shouting to kill Li Xia.However, soon there were screams.

Tents were already on fire in the camp.

She was so frightened that she didn't even bother to put on her robe, and hurried to the watchtower where her husband was...

"Beautiful!"

A horse neighed behind him, and then the hoofbeats became louder and louder.

When Ye Rihan looked back, he suddenly saw a Tang army piercing through the Yuan army's defense line with a terrifying posture, and rushed towards the watchtower.

"what!"

She screamed, turned and ran in the other direction.

Tang Jun ignored her and quickly rushed past where she was just now.

"Fire arrows!"

On the watchtower, Yuxi Timur shouted loudly.

The army of more than a thousand yuan finally adjusted its array, took precautions at every level, and shot arrows at Tang Jun with their bows and arrows.

However, when this little Tang army was still more than a hundred steps away from this front line, it suddenly reined in, turned around and ran westward out of the battlefield.

"Exiut."

Seeing the dragon flag go away again, Mangge couldn't help cursing, "Damn it!"

"Catch up! Kill Li Xia!" Yu Xitie Yu'er ordered again.

Li Dehui shook his head helplessly, feeling more and more that Li Xia was more like a Mongolian cavalryman.

It's a pity that he can't help with this kind of dispatch on the battlefield.

Suddenly there was a voice from the east.

"Stop him!"

"Kill!"

I saw that the Yuan army had finally arrived and completely surrounded thousands of Tang troops.

However, this Tang army has already reached a place only a hundred steps away from Manggela, and even the banner with the word "Yang" is moving forward.

Yang Ben had already given up his command and took the lead in killing them.

In the cold winter in Mobei, sweat was already streaming down Yuxi Timur's forehead.

He didn't understand how he could direct the battle like this.

However, he knew very well that the reason for this battle was that he was not as good at commanding as Li Xia and Yang Ben.

"Warriors! Protect your king! We have surrounded the Tang army..."

"Moo!"

The long sound of the horn interrupted the shouting on the watchtower of the Yuan army.

Li Xia took the forward selection battalion back and forth, and once again charged from the rear to the commander-in-chief of the Yuan army.

The goal of this small Tang army was not to kill the enemy at all, but to disrupt the command of the Yuan army.

And Yuxi Timur no longer needs to command, because there is already a melee under the watchtower.

He suddenly turned his head and stabbed at Mang Ge: "Your Majesty, let's go down."

"Why? If I go down from the watchtower, the warriors will think that I am going to escape." Mang Gela took a deep breath and said, "I am not afraid to stay here, I am the descendant of Genghis Khan."

For this sake, the Yuan army has completely surrounded the Tang army.As long as the commander-in-chief banner is still standing there, it will be difficult for Tang Jun to win.

But if something unexpected happens here, the soldiers of the Yuan army think that something happened to the commander, and it is possible to be defeated first.

That's why Manggela is willing to stand here for everyone to see.

"Has Your Highness forgotten Emperor Xianzong?" Li Dehui had already asked this question, and then said: "The Tang army must have left firearms behind, protect Your Highness and go!"

Before he could react, the elite warriors had hurriedly escorted him down the watchtower.

Tang Jun was still more than a hundred steps away. Occasionally, arrows fell, but they were blocked by shields by the cowards.

Yuxi Timur covered the wound on his body with his hands and walked down from the watchtower. Looking around, he already felt a flustered atmosphere.

"Put on the armor for me," he said.

This side is still wearing armor, and what Li Dehui was worried about happened.

"Oh!"

Sure enough, the Tang army still had thunderbolt cannons left, which exploded in the densely populated place of the Yuan army, screaming.

Someone shouted in Mongolian, "Brother Mang has been stabbed to death! Kublai Khan's son is dead!"

Looking up, I saw a Datang dragon flag waving not far away.

"go to hell."

Yuxi Timur cursed, tightened his armor, and got on his horse.

With just this one action, the wound on his body has already opened.

But all he could think of was the story about Borshu and Genghis Khan, the heroic story.

Today is the heavy snow and the wilderness, of course he wants to become a hero like his grandfather...

At the same time, Yang Ben was also desperately fighting forward.

His loyalty and bravery are not because he wants to imitate...
