Chapter 366: Atonement for Sins
The Qiexue Army was indeed considered the elite of Mongolia, but in the end, they were still mortals.
In front of the Yulin Cavalry blessed by the military formation method, they seemed not good enough.
"Khan, hurry up!"
A Mongolian general saw that the situation was not good and knelt down and shouted.
"Yes, Khan, please move!"
"Leave us to stop the Song general!"
Kublai Khan remained silent.
For him, he had never experienced such a moment of fleeing in such a panic.
However, the situation was urgent and he could not hesitate too much.
The Qiexue Army was defeated in the end.
These Mongolian cavalrymen were still human after all. Faced with such a tragic fight, their instinctive desire to survive made them choose to flee.
The Qiexue Army of 6,000 people was reduced to only 2,000 in just two incense sticks of time!
Even those who escaped back were all injured!
"My lord, I am not good at uniting the war, I apologize!"
Subutai, covered in blood, came to Kublai Khan, knelt down and apologized, with a face full of shame.
Kublai Khan was unmoved when he heard this.
He saw clearly that this battle was not Subutai's fault.
Even if he led the army in person, there might not be a better result.
The main reason was that this group of Song cavalrymen were too weird!
Thinking of this, Kublai Khan could not help but look at the ghost-faced general.
Lin Chen noticed something and looked back at Kublai Khan.
Kublai Khan's eyes were cold and murderous.
Lin Chen took off the ghost mask calmly, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly.
Immediately, he stretched out his index finger and hooked it at Kublai Khan. (Come here~.jpg!)
Kublai Khan was shocked to see that this Song general was so young, and he didn't care about the other party's provocation.
At this moment, there was no need for these Mongolian ministers to continue persuading. Before Lin Chen was ready to attack Kublai Khan's military camp, Kublai Khan led the imperial guards to move to another place.
As for the thousands of people left behind, they were undoubtedly used to fight to the death.
"Want to run?"
Lin Chen glanced at the changes in the Mongolian army camp, and his eyes did not change much.
Although he still had 20,000 newly recruited infantrymen under his command, only 3,000 Yulin Hussars went into battle this time.
Why is that?
It turned out that Lin Chen had already made arrangements.
Let Wei Qing, Yang Zhi and other generals lead an army each to ambush on the road where Kublai Khan might escape.
The key to this surprise attack is to take the enemy by surprise, not the number of troops.
"Your Excellency is really as good as a god!"
Wei Qing, as the first Lin Chui among the Yulin Guards, could not help but exclaimed.
Look.
Kublai Khan happened to run into the soldiers led by Wei Qing.
At this time, there were more than 2,000 Qiexue troops and 4,000 Khan's guards covering Kublai Khan's retreat.
Kublai Khan sat in a speeding carriage with a gloomy face.
He had ordered someone to send a message to summon the Mongolian army chasing the defeated Southern Song army to come back for help.
At that time, we must make sure that this Song army that has penetrated deep into the hinterland will be wiped out in one fell swoop, leaving no one alive!
But at this moment.
A rain of arrows poured down from both sides!
"There is an ambush!"
"Kill!"
Kublai Khan's face changed suddenly when he heard the voice.
Looking at these Song soldiers who suddenly rushed out, they also flashed a faint bloody light on their bodies.
Obviously, they belonged to the same army as the previous Song cavalry!
Wei Qing's military formation method cultivation was second only to Lin Chen among the Yulin Guards.
However, these infantrymen were newly recruited Southern Song men in the secret realm, and the rigid conditions prevented Wei Qing from blessing all the military formation methods.
If it were the Yulin Guards, it would be very different.
But even so.
It was enough to catch Kublai Khan's personal army off guard.
Densely packed soldiers rushed out from the dense forests on both sides.
It has to be said.
After all, it was Kublai Khan's personal army, and at this time, they still had the power to resist.
Subutai, as a trusted general of Kublai Khan, saw this crisis and immediately asked the Khan that he was willing to leave a part of the army to delay the Song army and use it to cover Kublai Khan's departure.
As a powerful leader, Kublai Khan naturally had no mercy.
In such a situation, he had to cut off his tail to protect himself.
Immediately, Kublai Khan only brought hundreds of personal cavalry and rushed out of Wei Qing's encirclement under the cover of Subutai.
If you look at it from a God's perspective.
The situation is quite interesting.
The Mongolian army at the front didn't know what their own Khan was experiencing in the back, and was still chasing the Southern Song army.
Kublai Khan in the back was ambushed and chased by the Yulin Guards under Lin Chen along the way.
When Lin Chen waited for Wei Qing, Yang Zhi and others to come back, he saw that the two looked unhappy.
Obviously, Kublai Khan still ran away.
Seeing this, Lin Chen didn't get angry.
It would be best if Kublai Khan could be killed.
For him, the strategic goal has been achieved.
Looking at the Khan's flag captured in his hand, Lin Chen's mouth curled slightly.
As for the Mongolian ministers captured by Wei Qing and others, Lin Chen just gave Yang Zhi a look.
The latter understood and left the camp immediately.
Even if Kublai Khan escaped, it would be a serious injury.
Not to mention the loss of momentum caused by the defeat, and the loss of many Han and Mongolian ministers trusted by Kublai Khan.
In other words, its foundation was greatly damaged!
Back to the front battlefield of Dingjiazhou.
Lv Wenhuan's navy was burned clean by the brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun.
He himself survived with a dozen personal guards.
But when Lv Wenhuan learned that Kublai Khan's Khan's camp was attacked by the Song army and the Khan himself was missing, his face suddenly changed.
Regardless of whether Kublai Khan was still alive, he knew what would happen to him if he fell into the hands of the Song army.
Lv Wenhuan knew that the situation was not good, so he wanted to leave with his guards.
"Go!"
However.
Swish!
Five of the dozen guards behind Lv Wenhuan suddenly jumped up.
Holding embroidered spring knives, they chopped and killed all the other guards who had not yet reacted.
This change came so suddenly that Lv Wenhuan was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.
Shen Lian shook off the blood on the knife and looked at Lv Wenhuan who had not yet reacted with a smile.
This man was the guy that his master had specifically asked for.
Soon.
Lin Chen saw Lv Wenhuan who was tied up tightly and thrown in front of him.
The latter had disheveled hair and burns on his face.
"Are you Lv Wenhuan?"
Lin Chen looked at the man in front of him who was not very strong and asked.
Lv Wenhuan looked up and saw the young man in front of him. He was shocked, but he forced a smile on his face: "The criminal is Lv Wenhuan."
"Do you want to live or die?" Lin Chen said with an inexplicable smile on his face.
"Can you still live?"
Lv Wenhuan was overjoyed when he heard this.
He thought that he would die if he fell into this man's hands.
If he could live, he, Lv Wenhuan, would definitely not want to die.
"The criminal begs for life!"
"Very good, untie General Lv." Lin Chen smiled softly.
Then Lv Wenhuan saw the other party's guards come out with a pen and a letter.
"General, what are you doing..." Lv Wenhuan asked cautiously.
"The Tatar chieftain has been killed by me. This is a chance for General Lv to atone for his crime." Lin Chen said disapprovingly.
"What?!"
Lv Wenhuan was shocked.
"Kublai was killed by the person in front of me?"
In panic, Lu Wenhuan saw the Khan's military tents piled up not far away, as well as many colleagues and ministers who used to serve under Kublai Khan.
But all these people had left were their heads.
