Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2758 The Death of Kublai Khan (Part 2)
He ignored the chaotic and disorganized Mongol cavalry around him, as Huo Qubing would not waste the precious energy of his heavy cavalry on them.

At this point, we will certainly not waste our precious time on them.

Therefore, after a brief moment of consideration, Huang Feihu and his men split into two groups and pursued two different targets.

However, the direction that Huo Qubing and Huang Feihu were chasing was naturally the bait thrown out by Kublai Khan.

Even if they eventually caught up with them in those two directions, by then Huo Qubing and his men would realize something was wrong, but for Kublai Khan, he would already be safe.

The advantages of heavy cavalry are there, but so are their disadvantages.

Having chased in the wrong direction and wasted precious time, how could he possibly catch up with Kublai Khan?
Moreover, Kublai Khan was advancing straight towards the main battlefield.

Once they reach the main battlefield, with the protection of their nearly 200,000 soldiers, how could that heavy cavalry possibly threaten them?
Moreover, by then, after all that repeated turmoil, how much fighting strength would that heavy cavalry force still have left?
Therefore, in Kublai Khan's view, the battle would not be over until he joined forces with the main force on the battlefield!
After all, although his main camp had been raided, the main battlefield was still in a stalemate. As long as he didn't die, he hadn't lost yet, and he still had a chance to win back the overall battle.

As for why he ran straight towards the main force, could Huo Qubing have guessed his escape route?

Kublai Khan is suspected of gambling!

In his view, an outstanding general like Huo Qubing could not possibly not have guessed that the most likely direction he would run was towards the main battlefield.

But it was precisely because he believed the other party could guess that he thought Huo Qubing wouldn't think he would run in that direction!
After all, this is a common problem among smart people!

Kublai Khan won his gamble. Although Huo Qubing did consider that direction for a moment, he immediately ruled it out.

Thus, they followed Kublai Khan's feigned deception.

Similarly, Huo Qubing also believed that Kublai Khan was a smart man.

Despite the deep-seated hatred between the Yuan and Mongol forces, it doesn't mean that the Jin army wouldn't acknowledge the capabilities of the Yuan and Mongol side.

If you don't even dare to acknowledge the enemy's strength, then there's no way you can defeat them.

Being discovered so easily, seemingly a feint, might actually be part of a deceptive tactic used by the other side.

However, Kublai Khan did win his gamble with Huo Qubing, but lost to the hothead Huang Tianhua.

Halfway through the chase, Huang Tianhua realized that the direction they were pursuing was getting further and further away from the battlefield and the main force of the Yuan Mongols, so he thought of heading in the direction of the main force of the Yuan Mongols to take a look.

He simply greeted Huang Feihu and then immediately led several dozen cavalrymen away via a detour.

He didn't even give Huang Feihu time to stop him.

After all, in Huang Tianhua's view, his father had so many people around him, and his younger brother was here to help his father. One more person wouldn't make a difference, and one less person wouldn't make a difference either.

If Huang Feihu really chases in the right direction, even without him here, it won't affect the elimination of Kublai Khan.

Although Huang Tianhua appeared to have only brought a few dozen riders, his numbers were not large.

However, even disregarding the formidable fighting power of the heavy cavalry, Kublai Khan still had only a few guards by his side at this time.

If his numbers were even slightly larger, the probability of him being discovered by scouts would increase dramatically. In contrast, the scattered cavalry, disguised as the main command tent and then attacked, would remain inconspicuous and avoid areas where enemy scouts might appear, thus minimizing their attention.

Along the way, Huang Tianhua encountered countless small groups of Yuan Mongol soldiers, most of whom only had a few riders. Even those with a larger number of riders probably only had a dozen or so.

However, these people were just ordinary Yuan-Mongol cavalrymen who had scattered and fled after the Yuan-Mongol main camp was attacked.

There was no Kublai Khan at all. The highest-ranking person was Helian Lijun, a surrendered general of the Tuoba Wei dynasty, whose head was smashed by Huang Tianhua with a single blow.

They were almost at the main battlefield, but still couldn't find Kublai Khan. By this point, even Huang Tianhua realized that he had gone in the wrong direction.

It's rare for me to try to be clever, but it seems I've overreached myself.

But at that very moment, more than ten riders appeared ahead.

"These are the people! Chase after them!"

Huang Tianhua instinctively assumed that these people were the same as those he had encountered before. However, just as he was about to ignore these dozen or so riders, he suddenly realized that several of them were riding horses that were not ordinary.

If only one warhorse had appeared, Huang Tianhua might not have thought much of it.

However, among the dozen or so people, several of their warhorses were clearly unusual. Even if Huang Tianhua was oblivious, he couldn't have been completely oblivious to the problem.

"No, I was discovered!"

"Full speed ahead!"

"If we rush onto the battlefield, we'll still have a chance to survive!" At this moment, Kublai Khan, disguised as a soldier, didn't care about anything else and hurriedly headed towards the surrounding guards.

Although Huang Tianhua was overjoyed at finally discovering Kublai Khan's whereabouts, thinking that he had finally guessed correctly and that this unparalleled achievement was about to fall into his hands.

But then I suddenly realized that the distance between the two groups was growing wider and wider.

After all, the men following Huang Tianhua were all heavily armored knights, and both the riders and horses were clad in armor.

Therefore, they really couldn't outrun Kublai Khan.

Seeing that the opponent is pulling further and further away, it seems that it won't be long before the opponent really runs into the main battlefield.

Once the enemy gets there and is under the protection of the Mongol army, there will truly be no chance to kill them.

Thinking of this, Huang Tianhua, driven by his recklessness, disregarded everything else and shook off the cavalrymen beside him, determined to chase after them alone on horseback.

In order to speed things up, he even threw away his double hammers and, before running out on his own, grabbed a long spear from a soldier next to him.

The goal is to reduce the burden and maximize the speed.

With this reduction in burden, coupled with the quality of Huang Tianhua's warhorse, the speed obviously increased significantly.

It seems that they are about to gradually get closer to Kublai Khan.
