Chapter 1283 Chapter 1281 The Glory of Tong Zuzu

"I paid homage to the big banner fluttering in the distance, and I beat the war drum made of bullhide leather."

The war drums beat, and the Mongolian war song sounded again, even the snow on the ground was shaken down.

The soldiers all opened their mouths wide and sang, and their negative emotions were poured out along with the singing, as if they had drawn courage and strength from the singing.

"I rode on a fast horse with a black spine, and I put on an armor made of leather ropes. I picked up a ring knife with a handle, and I fastened a sharp arrow with an arrow buckle, and went to fight to the death!"

"Kill!"

When the battle song was at its strongest, the flag was pointed forward, and the cavalry began to charge forward quickly.

This time, it was Kublai Khan's central army that launched the attack first.

Running at the forefront is a cowardly army led by An Tong.

After An Tong was captured and exchanged back, Kublai Khan expressed his trust in him, promoted him to a higher rank, and even restored him to the post of Prime Minister of Zhongshu, but he never let An Tong continue to serve as a guard by his side.

The monarch and his ministers did not discuss this topic in depth, but An Tong was keenly aware of Kublai Khan's distrust. He hadn't been alone with the Khan for a long time.

It is difficult to regain trust, but there is another way, and that is to defeat Li Xia.

So today An Tong desperately asked Kublai Khan for orders to fight.

"I am willing to fight for the Great Khan until the last drop of blood, just like my great-grandfather did when he fought for Genghis Khan in Yehuling!"

He is the fourth grandson of Mu Huali, and it was Mu Huali who led the death squad into the enemy's central army in the battle of Yehuling.

With An Tong as the pioneer, it has a good meaning.

They all want to reproduce the majesty of their ancestors...

It was already afternoon and the sun was westward.

The cavalry of the Yuan army ran from Daducheng to Tuanhe, and only rested for a while, and the horses were still a little tired.

However, An Tong ignored and ordered the soldiers to drive their horses to speed up, and ran into the formation of the Tang army with a desperate attitude.

Gradually, he was able to watch Tang Jun standing there holding a shield.

"Knock them away! Make meritorious deeds and close thousands of households!"

After a brief exchange of crossbows and firearms, An Tong chose to let the cavalry maintain the momentum brought by the high-speed collision and break the formation directly.

The Tang army still had traps, mines, caltrops, and repelling horses, causing some casualties.However, the Yuan army had a large number of troops, and those casualties seemed to be sporadic.

As long as the generals don't care and can maintain the morale and formation of the army, who cares about the wounded screaming on the ground?
"Bah!"

The cavalry rushing to the front finally reached Tang Jun, but failed to frighten Tang Jun away with momentum, so they had to rein in their horses at the last moment.

The horse's hoof slid a certain distance in the snow, and at the same time as the snow splashed, Yuan Qi had already raised his head hammer and smashed it down, condescendingly "bang" on Tang Jun's helmet.

"Kill!"

Spears protruded from the shields, and the two armies fought hand to hand.

The Yuan army did not use full ancient evil tactics, and did not use the advantages of cavalry to pull, release arrows, pull, and release arrows.This style of play regardless of casualties seems to be in a hurry.

Under the protection of his personal guards, An Tong kept moving forward, and soon reached the front of the battlefield.

Sitting astride his horse, he can see the enemy's situation more clearly.

His sharp eyes scanned the battlefield, and after spotting a Tang military commander, he drew an arrow from the arrow basket, stretched his bow fully, and shot one with a "swish", hitting the commander's face.

Immediately, a group of Tang troops appeared in chaos.

Such archery is rare even among the Mongols.

Not all Mongolian generals had the best archery teachers, the best bows, and the best horses like him.

As for Tang Jun, it is even more difficult for a marksman to appear.

An Tong was captured before, so he knew Tang Jun very well. Knowing Li Xia, he liked to promote some poor and humble farmers.

Why?

Because they are too poor and have never seen the world, as long as they give a little money and land, they will be grateful and go to work, so save money.

And he, An Tong, whose paternal line is Mu Huali and his mother is Te Xue Chan, has such a noble status and is trusted by the Great Khan. At the age of 13, he was the head of Xue Xue and became the prime minister. How could he surrender to these lowly Han people?
But he was defiled by them.

After being captured, the Khan's trust in him was like mud splashed on white paper.

You have to kill all these mud legs.

"Whoosh!"

An Tong shot another arrow, and once again a general of the Tang Military Academy fell in response.

The cavalry of the Yuan army quickly seized the opportunity of the chaos of the Tang army and rushed into the formation, like a dagger pierced into the flesh.

"Kill them!"

An Tong continued to move forward, looking for the target to shoot.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp arrow suddenly shot towards An Tong, and nailed to his breastplate with a "ding".

He was startled, and turned his head to look, only to see a small watch cart dozens of steps ahead, and three people were standing on the watch cart and shooting arrows here.

An Tong immediately returned an arrow, and at the same time drove the horse fast, hiding himself among the soldiers.

"Shoot them!"

The Yuan army shot arrows towards that side one after another, but the three people in the chariot were already hiding behind the shields, occasionally protruding their heads and shooting a few cold arrows, all of them were aimed at the ten and centurion commanders in the Yuan army.

An Tong was furious, so he simply took the lead and rushed to the forefront of the front line, and his soldiers hurriedly followed up desperately.Seeing the commander-in-chief's banner in front, the other soldiers' morale was greatly boosted, and they finally fought their way out.

"Oh!"

The cavalry of the Yuan army killed them, overturned the lookout chariot, and smashed it into the Tang army's formation.

An Tong's gaze was fixed and he was a little surprised to find that there were three Mongols who were hiding on the watch car and shooting cold arrows. One had a broken left leg, one had both legs broken, and the other probably also had a leg injury and was crawling on the ground. with.

There was Tang Jun shouting and rushing forward to save them.

"Protect the Archer!"

"Death to the traitor!"

An Tong shouted loudly, stepped forward in person, stepped on one man's back with his horse's hoof, cut off the knife in his hand, and slashed at the other man's neck.

"Bah!"

He stepped off his horse, but suddenly let out a cry of mourning. It turned out that the archer picked up a spear on the ground before he died, and stabbed him with his backhand into the belly of his horse.

When An Tong fell to the ground, his personal guards had already blocked the shield in front of him, blocking the stabbing swords and spears of Tang Jun.

He turned over quickly, and a sharp arrow hit his helmet hard with a "swoosh", and the blood flowed from his helmet immediately.

I saw two Tang Jun in front dragging the remaining archer back, but the archer still didn't forget to shoot an arrow at him.

"Kill the past!"

At this point in the battle, An Tong's eyes turned red, as if he had found the state of Yehu Lingmu Huali who dismounted and charged forward.

He believes that his ancestors are protecting him in the dark, and he wants to reproduce a legend today.

"puff."

"puff."

An Tong went all the way forward, slashing and killing the enemy, and was stabbed from time to time, but he didn't feel any pain.

Today, he will be the arrow cluster that Da Khan shot at Li Xia, and he will charge at the forefront.

Behind him are three thousand death squads, behind the death squads are ten thousand soldiers, and behind them are the Chinese army of the Great Khan and a hundred thousand troops.

A tall Tang army soldier fell down in front, and a personal guard fell down at the same time.

When the guards from behind stepped forward, An Tong suddenly saw a tent in the pool of blood.

"That's... Li Xia's tent?"

Looking up again, I saw a dragon flag standing there.

An Tong became excited and shouted, "Li Xia is right there! Kill him!"

"Kill the past!"

Soldiers of the Yuan army rushed to An Tong.

Only now did he remember to turn his head to take a look, but he was stunned when he turned his head.

The Three Thousand Death Squad has less than 700 people still following him. At some point, their team has been cut and surrounded by Tang Jun.

"Quickly, raise my banner! Li Xia is right in front..."

~~
During the melee, the soldiers of the Yuan army looked up and saw An Tong's general flag which had been erected not far from the dragon flag.

But if you zoom out a little bit, you can see that 300 of them have been surrounded by the Tang army. There are more than [-] steps away from Antong to the south, and another few hundred steps to the north. Yuan army.

In the entire Tang Army formation of more than 3000 people, their original [-]-strong death squad has been bitten into four or five segments like a hand reaching into the tiger's mouth.It was also like a stone floating on the surface of the lake, causing four or five ripples... and then slowly disappearing.

They didn't know that after they rushed into the formation of the Tang army, the Tang army quickly filled the loopholes in the formation, so that the follow-up cavalry of the Yuan army did not rush in.At this time, the two sides are still fighting in two phalanxes, shooting arrows at each other.

Kublai Khan personally held the formation, only [-] steps away from the Tang army.

He also saw An Tong's flag, and then turned his head to look west. He didn't see the sun in the wind and snow, and knew that it would be dark soon.

As soon as it gets dark, it is the time to test the morale of the army most.

If the soldiers of the Yuan army thought that they could no longer defeat the Tang army today, they would loosen up their offensive if they vented their anger.

Then the Tang Army will definitely wipe out An Tong's [-] Death Squadron. Today is a small defeat, and tomorrow more and more Tang Army will rush to the battlefield, and the situation will get worse and worse.

However, Kublai Khan found that there was not much he could do to stop the soldiers from getting discouraged...nor from getting dark.

It can only create greater results before dark.

So he quickly ordered and urged the ministries to encircle the Tang army as soon as possible.

In this way, more soldiers and horses circled to the left wing, right wing, and rear of the Tang army. The battle between the two sides would naturally be more efficient if there were more battle lines.

Only in this way, the Yuan army's formation was much thinner.

After making these arrangements, Kublai Khan closed his eyes, stopped looking at the battlefield, but outlined the situation of the entire Youyan battlefield in his mind, and judged the positions of Zhang Jue, Zhang Hongdao, Liu Yuanli and other troops of the Tang army.

"Sweaty."

Someone interrupted Kublai Khan.

Opening his eyes, he saw the cowardly Xue Chang, Yue Chicha'er.

Yuechichaer is the grandson of Borhu, one of the four founding heroes of Mongolia.Both his father and ancestor died fighting for the Great Mongol Kingdom, so he has been by Kublai Khan's side since he was a child.

"Great Khan, I am willing to lead the army and bring back the head of the enemy chieftain for the Great Khan!"

Kublai Khan glanced at his smooth-skinned face indifferently, and said: "You have contributed a lot to this work. You don't need to go to the front like your grandfather did back then."

"Kan Tong..."

Yuechichaer still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Kublai Khan's cold eyes.

An Tong has been captured before, and he has the will to die, and maybe he can break the situation.But how could Kublai Khan not understand the virtues of other generals.

They are all after meritorious service, and they are all pampered noble children.

It wasn't that Kublai Khan didn't want to send another army to break through the formation and point directly at Li Xia's army, but even he couldn't pick out a few strong generals who could fight tough battles now.

And with just these few words, the sky seems to be getting darker...
