Chapter 1290 Believers
Soldiers of the Tang army rushed to the tent.

"Officer Chen, the general asks you to hurry over."

"Go now... I'll leave it to you here." Chen Yuzhi continued to bandage the wounded soldier, patted a military doctor, and strode towards the watchtower.

When I arrived, Mao Yi'er was not on the watchtower.

He couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Where's the general?"

"The general led his troops to the south to clear the siege, and let the staff officers look ahead first."

Chen Yuzhi frowned, and couldn't help being surprised when he realized that the Yuan army had suddenly changed their tactics in just a short while.

"It's not like Naiyan's style of play, what is he worried about?"

There were several other staff officers and lieutenants in the army standing on the watchtower, and said: "Yun Weng also noticed that the Yuan army seems to have decided to decide the result today, and no longer reserve troops for later."

"Kublai Khan is also attacking the Chinese army."

"Strange, they have such confidence? Are they not afraid of accidents?"

"How can there be no accidents on the battlefield?"

"Unless," Chen Yuzhi mused, "An accident has happened?"

This is nothing more than speculation, so no answer.

But after watching the formation for a while, Naiyan took back the troops he had just dispatched.

The generals and staff officers of the Tang army became more and more suspicious, and sent scouts to the Chinese army to investigate, but found that Kublai Khan was still attacking the Chinese army.

Later, another Xinma hurried over and told the right wing to stabilize the morale of the army, saying that the reinforcements would arrive on the battlefield soon.

Chen Yuzhi immediately understood, and quickly ran down the watchtower, looked around, and rushed to where Mao Yier's general flag was.

"General, General!"

"Hold the line of defense!" Mao Yi'er was still commanding in front of the formation, turned his head to take a look, pulled Chen Yuzhi past him, and raised his shield to block him.

"General, I assert that Naiyan must be the first Yuan army to be defeated. The time has come..."

~~
Tuanhe Battlefield Middle Road.

Kublai Khan stared at Namuhan, the anger in his eyes almost burned his son to ashes.

Although the father and son did not discuss it, Kublai Khan understood what had happened the moment they first met.

After all, it was on the battlefield, and there were many generals around, so it was difficult for him to reprimand him for a while.I can only make mistakes and order the army to defeat Tang Jun as soon as possible.

Na Muhan finally couldn't bear the look in his eyes, and said, "Father Khan, it's Liu Bingzhong..."

"Huh?" Kublai snorted through his nose.

Na Muhan trembled, and waited for a long time, but did not hear what Kublai Khan said.

He cautiously raised his head to take a look, only to see that the anger in his father's eyes had disappeared a lot, replaced by some complicated emotions.

I can't tell what kind of emotion that is, but it makes people feel... much empty.

Maybe Liu Bingzhong did have a certain amount of weight in Kublai Khan's heart, or Liu Bingzhong belonged to a part of the Yuan Dynasty, and now without this part, it is naturally empty.

"Father Khan."

"Shut up." Kublai Khan said: "If you are still a descendant of Genghis Khan, lead your troops to bring Li Xia's head to Ben Khan, or you will die on the battlefield."

Na Muhan hurriedly got off his horse and kowtowed, then hurriedly summoned his troops to rush to the left flank, looking for any omissions in the Tang army's line.

At this moment, news came from the north that Zhang Jue's soldiers and horses had rushed to the battlefield.

Namuhan couldn't help but rejoice that he left Kublai Khan's side earlier, otherwise he would not know what terrible blame he would have to bear.

……

Kublai Khan was not surprised that Zhang Jue was able to rush to the battlefield, and he gave orders in an orderly manner.

If he had been in the capital city last night, the situation would obviously not have been like this, and Tang Jun would have to pay a greater price.

It's just that no matter how long you defend the city, it's hard to really defeat Tang Jun.

He would rather win a vigorous field battle than stay in the city for another year or two.

After arranging soldiers and horses to resist Zhang Jue, Kublai Khan recruited Li Boyou, the commander of his military guards.

In fact, Kublai Khan has always been very clear that the cowardly Xue army is all honored, and their combat power is not high, so he selected a group of elite guards from the Han army as his own bodyguards, named "Wuwei Army". He couldn't trust the Han army too much, and the number of this Wuwei army was always small.

"Zhang Jue's army is not much slower than Namuhan's cavalry. If the infantry marches in a hurry, the formation will be disordered. You go around and break through his line..."

Li Boyou took the order and left in a hurry.

The situation here is like Kublai Khan and Li Xia playing a game of chess. Kublai Khan is at a disadvantage, but it is not impossible to win.

He is not someone who gives up lightly, and is still coping with it calmly. This is the character that a person who has achieved great things should have.

However, another scout came.

"Khan, a Tang army detoured from the east and appeared behind King Naiyan."

"what?!"

Kublai Khan turned his head to look, and couldn't see anything clearly in the vast snowstorm, but he felt as if he was concentrating on playing chess with Li Xia, and Zhang Jue secretly stuffed a key piece into a corner of the chessboard.

Suddenly the trumpet sounded in the Tang army formation, and Li Xia's dragon flag began to advance eastward.

This caught Kublai Khan even more by surprise.

He didn't expect Li Xia and Zhang Jue to have such a tacit understanding, they didn't even have time to pass messages back and forth, and they chose to attack Naiyan at the same time.

Why is this happening?

Zhang Jue just rushed to the battlefield, how did he know that he should attack Naiyan?
Li Xia hadn't seen Zhang Jue's troops at all, how dare he let the Chinese army rush to the right wing easily, exposing the weak defense line of the Chinese army to the main force of the Yuan army?

Unless they knew Naiyan from the very beginning and decided to use it as a breakthrough point; unless Li Xia had enough confidence in Zhang Jue, knowing that with Liu Bingzhong's help, Zhang Jue would be able to break through the capital soon...

"Ben Khan is not defeated yet."

Kublai Khan thought about it, and interrupted his thinking with this sentence.

It doesn't make sense to think about those anymore.

What he has to do now is to break through the defense line of the Tang army's central army and reach Li Xia's tent before the Tang army defeats the Naiyan tribe.

In other words, as long as Naiyan can last longer than the weak line of defense left by Tang Jun, it is enough.

"Push Ben Khan's white banner forward!"

~~
"The chieftain is coming! Block it!"

In the Tang army formation, at intervals, there were generals shouting loudly, adjusting the line of defense.

A "Dong" general flag was rotated to replace the "Xiong" general flag.

Dong Wenyong asked Li Xia for his order very early on, wanting to fight Kublai Khan, and now he finally waited for this opportunity.

His hand gripped the handle of the knife tightly, as if it was welded to the handle.

His eyes fixed on the nine-pronged white banner, allowing it to appear bigger and bigger in his pupils.

~~
Naiyan stared at the dragon flag that was getting closer and closer, fear flashed in her eyes.

"What is Li Xia doing? Does he not want my warriors to go back to the grassland?"

The grassland is vast and sparsely populated, and Kublai Khan has been recruiting soldiers and horses from the grassland all these years. In fact, the kings have long been dissatisfied, and all of them are complaining that there is no one to serve hard labor.

This time it was because Tacha had just died, and Naiyan was willing to bring troops here in order to ensure that he could inherit the throne from his father in the future.

He must take the soldiers and horses back.

"My lord! Zhang Jue is rushing over here!"

"Where's Khan? Why didn't you send cavalry to stop them?!"

"That's too late……"

The horse scouts coming from the northeast had just finished their report, and another general shouted from the watchtower.

"Look, Your Majesty!"

Looking back, Tang Jun from the west has begun to surround him like a tide.

A large banner with the word "Mao" has rushed into his line.

Naiyan was furious, but her first reaction was to grab Ma Xueli Jisi by the collar and scolded: "Didn't you say that God will protect me?!"

Ma Xuelijisi was startled by his slanted eyes, and shouted: "My lord, you haven't lost yet, you haven't lost yet..."

With the last bit of patience left, Naiyan finally loosened Ma Xueregis's collar slowly.

Some of the generals behind him hesitated, and finally stepped forward and said: "My lord, I have something to say to you alone."

"If you want to persuade me to surrender to Li Xia, I will kill you."

"no no……"

Naiyan's heart had completely flown back to his Liaodong fiefdom, and she didn't have the slightest intention to surrender to Li Xia.

However, when the general approached, he said: "I got the news, in fact Juyongguan is not lost, the Great Khan deliberately lied to us in order to provoke us to fight to the death."

Naiyan's expression changed, and she immediately asked, "Where did you hear the news?"

"A soldier from the Wanggu tribe in the army heard about it, saying that Ai Buhua sent someone to persuade them to flee back to Yinshan."

"Is the news reliable?"

"If Juyongguan is lost, Liu Yuanli must have rushed to the battlefield by now..."

Naiyan raised her eyebrows.

He already had slanted eyes, but with this twitch, one of his eyebrows almost flew up.

~~
"kill!"

Dong Wenyong had rushed to the front of the battlefield with his shield on his shoulders, slashing and killing with his sword.

He was covered in blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was his own or someone else's.

And more than [-] steps in front of him is the Jiujiao White Banner.

Kublai Khan straddled his horse and walked slowly under the nine white banners, his face became more and more gloomy.

"Keep going."

Whenever he saw that the speed of the nine-headed white banner was slowing down, he would give instructions like this and drive the horse forward at the same time.

The soldiers of the Yuan army had no choice but to move forward desperately in order not to let Da Khan personally fall into the battle.

However, the Tang army in front refused to retreat, so the Yuan army crowded together and fought forward like this.

As a result, everyone was forced to fight fiercely, and the casualties on both sides rose rapidly.

The corpses piled up more and more, and the soldiers on both sides had to step on the corpses to fight, but the battle line did not move forward or backward much.

And it is precisely because many soldiers have turned into corpses that the Jiujiaobaiyu can still move forward without stopping.

Kublai Khan could already feel that Tang Jun's defeat was coming.

Tang Jun's front line is only so thick, it's time to be unbearable, maybe just another hour.

"Sweaty."

A servant rode his horse and squeezed close to Kublai Khan's side, and even dared to reach out and grab Kublai Khan's reins.

Kublai Khan was so angry that he almost cut off the hand with a knife.

However, the valet called out again, and there was something in his voice that made him feel like his heart was breaking.

"Sweaty..."

Kublai Khan lost his mind for a moment.

He didn't want to accept the result, so he had to look up to the sky.

Longevity, why don't you bless the descendants of Genghis Khan anymore?

Is it because there are not enough sacrifices?

"Khan, King Naiyan... was defeated and fled."

~~
Nai Yan did not order the retreat lightly.

In fact, if he gave the order later, his life would really be in danger.

He has always felt that cavalry and infantry can at least leave the battlefield at any time.

However, when he gave the order, he found that he was almost surrounded by the Tang army.

Although those enemies were infantry, they seemed to have anticipated his marching direction early and accurately blocked him in front.

"Quick! Get out!"

The horse's hooves splashed mud and snow, and Naiyan galloped wildly, only to find that there were Tang troops encircling him not far from the left and right.

He quickly lowered his body and accelerated the speed of the horse.

"Ding."

An arrow landed on his back, but it didn't penetrate his armor.

And he had already run a long way with his superb riding skills, and rushed out before being surrounded.

……

"Don't let Nai Yan run away!"

Huo Hu was running, while drawing his bow and nodding his arrows.

The snow on him is relatively deep, and every time he takes a step, he lifts higher, and his posture is quite weird.

However, when he stopped, squinted one eye and started aiming, the momentum around him changed, and he felt like he was standing still.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp arrow shot out and flew straight for more than a hundred steps.

A cavalryman was galloping on his horse holding a general, when a sharp arrow appeared in front of him, he only had time to hear the sound of breaking wind, and his neck had already reached up to meet the cluster of arrows.

With a "poof", a sharp arrow pierced his neck.

The horses continued to gallop, throwing his body off their backs.

A flag embroidered with a lotus cross also fell down.

"Break them out!"

Not far away, Mao Yi'er had already caught up with a spear, stabbed a Yuan general, and the leader began to cut the Yuan army's line.

Just like a corner of a chessboard, white chess captured a big dragon of black chess...
