In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 438 The Mongolian Army’s Incompetence

At this time, the Mongolian army had already rushed through the first pit and rushed within forty steps of the Song army.

Bang bang bang, there were constant gunshots all around, and the fusilier gunners of the Song Army were the first to attack and get closer.

The Mongolian army rushed forward crazily, getting closer and closer to the Song army.

But just rushed within forty steps.

Sudden.

Wow, another Mongolian army fell into the pit.

"&￥#" The Mongolian army used various curse words.

No one expected that there would be another wave of traps in the Song Army.

Feng Wei did not hit the closer one, but continued to hit the archer.

The Mongolian archer on the opposite side screamed and got up again after falling to the ground. Feng Wei watched him shrink and hide behind the horse, no longer showing his head, probably waiting for the order to retreat.

Feng Wei breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the third gun.

Bang, hit a Mongolian soldier who rushed within forty steps.

Then he quickly turned around, leaned his back against the wall and lowered his head, and began to load three guns.

"The Mongolian army has entered the fusillade forty steps and has reached the second pit." Zhang Hui was shouting from the rear.

The pulley archers put down their pulley bows one after another, picked up the walking bows beside them, and started shooting within dozens of steps to support the fusiliers.

The opposite side was forty steps away from the flintlock, and at least sixty or seventy steps away from them.

The fusiliers fired freely, the timing was not uniform, and there was a gap in charging. This gap was filled by archers.

At the same time, the artillery behind them completely stopped firing, and the artillerymen were seen running to another row.

This row was full of trebuchets, and the gunners began to weight the trebuchets.

Two artillerymen lifted a huge hollow iron block, weighing about twenty kilograms, and placed it on the trebuchet. This was the heaviest iron block ever used by the Song Army.

"Let it go." Bang, a trebuchet was thrown out first, and after landing, it was about a hundred steps away.

It was probably the second pit, where the Mongolian army was about forty steps away from the fusiliers.

The trebuchet was adjusted twice and the weight of the counterweight box was finally determined.

The Mongolian army in front rushed forward like a tide. Because they were not allowed to retreat, they were cut down when they retreated. The Mongolian army almost filled the hole with corpses.

They carried the dead Mongolian soldiers from behind to the front, and then threw them directly into the pit.

After a Mongolian army is injured, the Mongolian army behind him will directly push him into the pit.

The scene was quite brutal.

Feng Wei knocked down a Mongolian soldier with one shot, and saw another Mongolian soldier push the Mongolian soldier into the pit without hesitation.

The pit dug by the Song Army was not very deep or wide, because the Song Army still had no weapons, so within a quarter of an hour, the second pit rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Let the people in the back line drag the corpse forward to fill the hole." He looked at it with his liver and gallbladder splitting, and he kept giving orders.

"You can lead the horse in and fill the hole in front." He bowed behind him and simply ordered to fill the hole with war horses.

The Song army dug many small holes in the ground, and there were people in front of them. It was difficult for the war horses to rush through, but they could be led in to fill the holes.

As soon as his order was given, someone greeted him in front, and the second pit was filled.

Crowds flocked to where the first section was filled.

Bang, bang, bang, the Song army's flintlock guns also fired intensively in this direction. People kept falling to the ground in front, but more Mongolian troops stepped on the bodies of their companions and rushed forward.

Then more and more pits were filled, and the Mongolian army who came first quickly rushed within thirty steps.

The "crash" scene was the third biggest pit.

"%#￥" The whole audience yelled.

"Damn the Song Dynasty people." The people on the other side were also yelling curses.

There was a smile on Feng Wei's mouth, but his body moved closer.

The closer the distance to the opposite side was, the more arrows came from the Mongolian army. Just now, after an arrow was actually thrown into the wind, it was blown by the headwind and fell on his back.

Fortunately, the arrow didn't fall very fast, and it hit the shield behind his back without nailing it, and slid directly to the ground.

He couldn't help but look back. The wall behind him was densely covered with arrows, and the Song Army behind him had arrows on his shoulders and helmet.

The other person looked at him and grinned: "I'm fine, I have a headache."

Feng Wei stretched out his hand and motioned for him to lower his head, don't expose his face, just show his eyes.

Then he raised his head and looked at the distance behind him. The Mongolian army entered thirty steps, and the big killer should be on the scene.

as predicted.

The Mongolian army is still desperately filling the third deep trench.

After all, they are now only thirty steps away from the Song army, and victory seems to be right in front of them.

Sudden.

Whoosh, a huge fireball flew in the air towards the Mongolian army's center and rear formation, which was fifty or sixty steps away from the fusiliers and where the horses were blocked.

At this time, the forward of the Mongolian army entered the flintlock gun thirty paces, and more Mongolian troops were crowded into the place where the horses were originally blocked.

A fireball flew directly towards the Mongolian army. The gasoline bomb weighing 20 kilograms hit the ground hard, and then exploded with a bang.

Burning gasoline spread all around, and almost everyone within a few dozen steps was on fire.

"Ah——" the Mongolian army screamed and fled in all directions.

Whoosh, dozens of fireballs fell one after another from the sky.

This steam bomb burns a piece of fire when it hits the ground, which is much more lethal than artillery.

Moreover, the location where the first wave fell was the original Juma position. The Juma was made of wood, and there were the most dead and injured bodies on the scene. The flames burned bigger and bigger, and the Mongolian army was cut in half by the fire.

The second wave of petrol bombs was thrown thirty steps behind Juma.

The scene was full of flames, and the Mongolian army was in great confusion. They moved around to avoid it. When they saw a fire dragon flying down, they ignored the military orders and scattered in all directions. The battlefield became more and more chaotic, and the Mongolian army fell into chaos.

"Such a powerful fierce fire oil?" Bai Zhu was also stunned.

A gasoline bomb dropped by the Song Army, burning a large area on the ground, and many Mongolian troops around were set on fire.

At this time, the Mongolian army behind was burned by gasoline bombs, and the Mongolian army in front was shot by flintlock rifles and rifle bows. Originally, as long as a steady stream of Mongolian troops came up from behind, the Mongolian army could still break into the third pit and get within 20 steps of the Song army. A small number of Mongolian troops have even entered about twenty steps.

But now everything is in chaos behind them, and a line has been burned on the side of Juma. The Mongolian troops behind them cannot come over, and the Mongolian troops in front cannot retreat.

The Mongolian forwards were getting fewer and fewer as they fought.

In the bursts of white smoke from the flintlock guns, the forward Mongolian troops fell down one after another. The last man fell under the fourth pit ten steps away, and no one came up from behind soon.

"Ah" there was another burst of screams and wails from the Mongolian army, and an unknown servant army in the middle exploded again, turned around and ran away. This is how it is on this battlefield. As long as someone runs away, it can easily cause a complete collapse, even if you have given strict orders before stopping.

Bai Zhu took a deep breath, suppressing the anger and unwillingness in his heart, and closed his eyes: "Send the order, withdraw the troops."

Dang, dang, dang, the sound of retreating was heard, and the Mongolian troops ran faster.

As soon as the Mongolian army retreated, the gunfire from the opposite side stopped, and then someone came out with a long gun.

The Song army began to clean up the battlefield. When they saw the wounded, whether they were men or horses, they would stab them to death with one shot. Then, if they were close to the pit, they would push them into the pit and bury them directly after the war.

The Song army cleared the battlefield there, while the Mongolian army fled here.

The servant army has never fought against the Song army. Today, they were thrown into the shadows. Many people did not even see what the Song people looked like, and they suffered tens of thousands of casualties. This is simply unheard of. Almost all the nobles and lords present Everyone thinks that the Song people are more terrifying than the Mongols.

People tend to be afraid of unknown creatures and things.

When they fought against the Mongols before, they could still see the Mongols.

Now they only saw walls and walls, heard gunshots, and the people fell to the ground one after another.

This is the scariest thing.

There was no choice but to order a retreat. This wave of attacks broke through three pits of the Song Army, and they also saw a fourth pit ten steps away.

However, the Mongolian army suffered heavy casualties. This wave of fighting lasted for more than half an hour. After a quick glance, I knew that tens of thousands of people had been lost.

After he reorganized and counted the troops again, another half hour passed.

Two waves of attacks by the Mongolian army resulted in losses of more than 17,000 people.

Many of the thirty thousand people who came back were injured.

We fought with the Song Army for nearly an hour today, with nearly half of them dead and wounded. How can we fight like this?

If it weren't for the nearly two thousand Mongolians staying nearby, these servants would have dispersed and fled in all directions.

The Song Army almost broke their souls and courage. In front of the Song Army's formation, there was no difference between them and death.

But I know better that if they retreat today and let the Song army clear the tunnels, they will have to spend tens of thousands of people to fill the tunnels next time they come to attack.

Today is the best chance, and it may also be the last chance.

"We can't fight anymore. Let's retreat." There was a noble nearby who couldn't stand it any longer. Seeing Bai Zhu's hesitation, he immediately said: "Those fierce fire oils can stop our tribesmen."

The Song army used gasoline bombs, which were theoretically more powerful than flintlock guns. The main reason was that they could cut the Mongolian army into pieces. The momentum of the Mongolian army's continuous attack was blocked. The front was killed, and the back could not be replaced in time. That was really There is nothing that can be done against Song Jun.

For the Song Army, the biggest weakness is the limited gasoline bombs, limited bullets, and limited durability of the flintlock guns.

But the Mongolian army didn't know, they didn't know how many gasoline bombs the Song army had, and they didn't know how long the Song army's flintlock guns could fire.

Damn, if you have another 50,000 or 60,000 troops, you will definitely be able to break through the Song Army's defense line if you charge continuously.

Now he doesn't have enough troops, and the Song army has broken their courage. None of his subordinates have the will to fight, and no one wants to continue fighting.

Even the warriors of the Mongolian headquarters who did not participate in the war dared not say a word.

Seeing the charge that looked like killing people, these people were not stupid, so of course they didn't groan.

After someone spoke, other nobles and lords spoke one after another. The Song army only wanted this Gongbulun, and they only said that it was within a radius of 500 miles. It was none of our business, so leave them alone.

As for the taxes paid by passing ships, it has little to do with them, because most nobles and lords are not at the seaside, and there are still relatively few people participating in maritime trade.

Some nobles involved in maritime trade gave up: "This time the Song army only said that the radius was five hundred miles. Once they established a foothold and built the city, it would be five thousand miles, fifty thousand miles, it wouldn't take much, and the whole of Persia would be covered. They will all be conquered by the Song army."

"While there are few of them, we must drive them into the sea."

Those who retorted said: "So what if we drive these 3,400 Song people into the sea? What if they come back with 340,000 next time?"

"It is said that the Song Dynasty had a vast territory and abundant resources, with a population of trillions. We still have to negotiate peace with them, and we cannot continue the war."

Someone else said: "Whoever wants to fight will rush to the front soon."

The crowd suddenly became silent.

I felt very upset as I listened to the arguments between people with different opinions on both sides.

He wanted to fight, but just looking at the people passing by, he probably couldn't beat them. These servants were unreliable, and the Song army broke their courage.

If the fight continues, there will be more casualties. At that time, many noble lords may find ways to contact the Song army and surrender to the Song people.

"Send someone over to ask what happened and why the Song people came to occupy my land in Persia. I have already reported it to Choermahan Nayan. I will return to the army for the time being and wait for Nayan's order."

Bai Zhu decided to withdraw his troops, and there was a sudden burst of applause from all around.

That day, the Mongolian army rushed to the vicinity of Gonbulun in a hurry. After a battle with the Song army, they were defeated miserably, and then they sent someone to ask questions.

Ruan Heng, the commander of the Song Army, replied that we are just collecting taxes from the occupied land and have no intention of going to war with Mongolia. We hope that the warriors of the Mongol Empire will not misunderstand.

He cursed in his heart when he heard this. Of course he knew that Mongolia was at full-scale war with the Song Dynasty.

In October last year, news of the Song Dynasty's attack on Hara Helin reached Lai City, but Choermahan did not move after receiving the news.

First, the main force of the Persian Mongolian army is not large. Choermahan brought only 20,000 to 30,000 horses from the grasslands, and the rest are servants. They are still fighting in all directions. In order to garrison in various places, the Mongolian army is a bit scattered. Even without Wokuotai's order, they did not dare to return to the army without authorization.

Third, Batu was attacking Poland and Hungary at that time, and Choermahan sent someone to inform Batu and ask for his opinion.

I don’t know how Batu responded to his greetings. Anyway, until he gathered his troops and horses to fight Gonbulun, there was no news of the Mongolian army recruiting troops from the west and returning from the east.

Since the Song army did not admit that the two countries were at war, it was not easy to point out the war. The messenger immediately said that this is our territory of Mongolia, and you can't say a word when you come here.

Ruan Hengze asked back, you were captured during the Western Expedition, right? Does this kind of place belong to the one who is stronger and whoever captures it?

"..." Stop.

Now that we Song people are here, you Mongolia should give way. Persia is such a big country and it is appropriate to give us some points.

The messenger was running around, constantly delivering messages. The smell of gunpowder was so strong that Baizheng almost couldn't help but want to fight again.

But in the end I still held back.

Since they can't defeat them, they can only give in and wait for Cholmakhan to come back before dealing with them.

Bai Zheng went back in despair after a wave of fighting. This defeat was the first time that South Persia saw the incompetence of the Mongolian army.

No one expected that the newly arrived Song army would be so powerful and beat the Mongolian army without any temper at all.

Of course, some people were unconvinced and believed that the Song army was still defensive and did not dare to come out to fight, so it was still not as powerful as the Mongolian army in the field.

From the coast of the Persian Gulf to the city of Rai, there are many noble lords who are engaged in maritime trade and also own ships.

Not long after, some local nobles spontaneously organized a wave of soldiers and horses to attack the Song army at night. They also sent warships over, but they were beaten hard by the Song army again.

A large area of ​​Persian warships was directly sunk by the Song army.

Afterwards, the Song army collected the damaged warships and the Persian soldiers who fell into the sea, and then asked whose warships were sent by the noble lord.

Then it was announced that ships belonging to these nobles would not be allowed to go to sea in the future, and any ship passing through the Strait of Hormu would be sunk.

Every Persian ship that went to these cities also saw one ship fighting against another.
