Chapter 2561 Yue Fei fights Murong Ke, Zhang Liao vs. Kublai Khan


    Chapter 2558: Yue Fei fights Murong Ke, Zhang Liao vs. Kublai Khan


    For this Yuan-Mongolian civil war, Ying Hao chose to send troops directly instead of deterring the military force as usual, which obviously put great pressure on Kublai Khan.


    After all, if the Qin Dynasty really sent troops, Kublai Khan would not be sure of winning.


    But in order to eliminate Maodun and completely unify the Yuan Meng, Kublai Khan has made too many concessions, and now he is on the verge of arrows. Naturally, it is impossible for him to retreat just because of the Qin Dynasty.


    Therefore, even though he knew that the Qin Dynasty dispatched 60,000 cavalry, Kublai Khan could only bite the bullet and start the war.


    Kublai Khan initially dispatched 130,000 troops, but later he learned that the Qin Dynasty sent another 50,000 troops, a total of 180,000 troops.


    The Maodun army had 80,000, plus 60,000 Qin army, which was a total of 140,000 troops.


    ?


    Therefore, Kublai Khan thought of destroying Maodun in the shortest time and seizing only the three cities including Shengle under Maodun''s rule. The Qin Dynasty would not only use only 60,000 troops to start the national war with Yuan Meng, right?


    With this idea in mind, Kublai Khan started a blitzkrieg against Maodun, dividing 180,000 troops into three groups, led by Kublai Khan, Murong Ke and Boyan, each with an army of 60,000 each, and took the three cities including Shengle as quickly as possible.


    Maodun didn''t expect Kublai Khan to come so quickly. He would definitely not be able to confront him head-on. As he had no choice, he could only agree to Bai Qi''s conditions to cede Shengle City in exchange for the 60,000 reinforcements from the Qin Dynasty arrived as soon as possible.


    But what Maodun even more unexpected was that after Bai Qi agreed to send troops, heavy rain broke out in Yinshan area, and Huo Qubing''s 20,000 reinforcements had to take a detour and would definitely not be able to arrive at the agreed location on time.


    This is undoubtedly bad news for Maodun, but now he doesn''t care about so much and can only take one step at a time.


    Three routes went out of the Qin army to save one city.


    Yue Fei rescued Sheng Lecheng and fought against Murong Ke.


    Zhang Liao saved Chifeng City and fought against Kublai Khan.


    Huo Qubing went to Wuhai City, against Boyan;


    Among the three armies, Yue Fei''s troops had the fastest speed, first arrived in Shengle City, and then fought a big battle with Murong Ke.


    As the only famous general in Yuan Meng who had exceeded 100, Murong Ke''s ability is naturally unquestionable. There are also many powerful generals and generals under his command, such as Zhebe, Menglik, Tutuo, etc.


    Unfortunately, this time Murong Ke met Yue Fei, who specialized in fighting against aliens and had a buff, and there was also a gap in the lineup of the generals.


    Therefore, even though the Yuan army had much more troops than the Qin army, Murong Ke did not gain the upper hand.


    Seeing that Yue Fei was coming so quickly, it was impossible for Murong Ke to break the city by lightning, so he wanted to concentrate his troops to deal with Yue Fei first.


    Faced with Murong Ke who was attacking in a large scale, Yue Fei was ready to start the war and sent envoys to Shengle City, asking Maodun’s army to cooperate with him and leave the city to fight Murong Ke together.


    But the general guarding Shengle City was dissatisfied with the cedes of Shengle City and refused to leave the city to cooperate in combat, which forced Yue Fei to fight alone.


    If this were replaced by a general with a bad temper, he would probably retreat directly in the face of the Maodun Army''s betrayal, but Yue Fei is not an ordinary person, so he would not retreat like this.


    Yue Fei used a trick to spread rumors, claiming that as long as the Yuan army canceled the siege, the Maodun army in Shengle City would emerge and join forces with the Qin army to fight against the Yuan army.


    Murong Ke did not know that there was a falsehood, and he could not prove it. He could only leave behind a 20,000 army, restrained the military officials under Shengle City, and led 40,000 cavalry to wipe out Yue Fei''s troops.


    Faced with Murong Ke''s 40,000 elite cavalry, Yue Fei could have avoided the battle. After all, it was not worth fighting for Maodun and Yuan Meng, but he chose to fight and faced the 40,000 Mongolian Iron Cavalry head-on with 20,000 Qin Iron Cavalry.


    The reason why Yue Fei did this was to show the majesty of the Great Qin Iron Cavalry.


    I don’t know when, a saying has spread among the Han people, saying that the reason why the Han cavalry can defeat the Hu cavalry is that they are more advanced with their equipment. Once the number of people is not as large as the opponent, they will definitely not dare to fight.


    Now Yue Fei broke this rumor and slapped these people in the face.


    As for the second point, it is suitable for Yue Fei to have absolute confidence in his 20,000 Youzhou Iron Cavalry under his command.


    These 20,000 Youzhou cavalry have been trained by Yue Fei. Not only are there elite troops, but there are two elite battalions alone. One is the White Horse Yicong, and the other is Yue Fei’s personal guards and the other is the Weiwei Army.


    Yue Fei is confident that he can fight against Hu cavalry twice as much as his own with 20,000 cavalry and win.


    Of course, self-confidence is not a conceit, so Yue Fei used tricks to use military officials to restrain some of Murong Ke''s troops. After all, if there are too many, it would be too difficult to win head-on.


    As for the third point, it is because the opponent is Murong Ke.


    Yue Fei knew that Murong Ke was a wise general, and it was not very effective to play conspiracies with such an opponent. It was better to be upright and win with absolute strength.


    In the past, the Qin army was indeed able to crush the Yuan army in equipment, but with Tolei and Kublai Khan ascended the throne, Yuan Meng also updated and iterated the equipment.


    Yuan Meng has not only completely promoted stirrup saddle horseshoe and horseshoe nationwide, but also equipped the cavalry with light armor, bows and crossbows, and even formed heavy cavalry.


    Although the equipment of the Yuan and Mongolian cavalry still has a certain gap compared with the Qin cavalry, it is no longer as big as that of the Temujin period.


    So, when Murong Ke learned that Yue Fei had not avoided the war, he was naturally overjoyed and felt that Yue Fei was too arrogant and was not as famous as meeting him, but after the war started, he was stunned.


    Since Yue Fei had been in Jingbei before and had no experience in commanding cavalry, Murong Ke thought Yue Fei was better at commanding infantry and his cavalry command ability was average.


    But after the war started, Murong Ke found that Yue Fei''s cavalry command was very experienced, even if it was not much inferior to him, and he easily saw through his cavalry trap. This forced Murong Ke to deal with it with all his strength, but was still defeated by Yue Fei.


    Shortly after the war started, Murong Ke focused on Yue Fei''s main force, and both small-scale Qin troops with only a thousand people, but Yue Fei intentionally separated them. Murong Ke did not concentrate all his troops on the front of the Qin army. He sent Shiji Huduhu to lead 5,000 cavalry to wander on the battlefield and overseas.


    Yue Fei was worried that after the decisive battle, the iron cavalry would raid his rear, so he sent Taishi Ci and Yue Zhongqi to lead a thousand cavalry each and ambush the only way to raid his rear, and the other party was indeed deceived.


    After Murong Ke prepared everything, he commanded a 35,000 army to fight with Yue Fei''s 18,000 Qin army, and asked Zhebe to lead the strongest Qixue army to take the lead, intending to break through the Qin army''s front in one fell swoop.


    The Qiexue Army was Kublai Khan''s personal army, with a population of only 3,000. Not only was the comprehensive quality high, but it was also equipped with excellent equipment. It was the elite battalion with the strongest combat power of Yuan Meng.


    Yue Fei also knew that the Qiexue army was a hard bone, so he personally directed the Beiwei army to fight and handed over the command of Bai Ma Yicong to Wei Rui.


    After the war began, when the Qin army fought with the Yuan army, many Qin soldiers showed great discomfort when facing the enemy twice as many as theirs, and they all felt that the opponent this time was a bit too strong.


    At this time, the powerful generals such as Yue Fei, Gao Chong, Xiong Kuohai, Taishi Ci, and Niu Gao played a great role.


    The strength of personal bravery encourages the soldiers'' courage and overext their combat power, even if they fight against two, they will not be at a disadvantage.


    Murong Ke seemed to have expected that the Qin army would not be defeated so easily, so he ordered Shiji Hudu, who was free and hidden outside the battlefield, to join the battle and raided the rear of Yue Fei''s troops, but was ambushed by Taishi Ci and Yue Zhongqi.


    Although Shi Ji Hu Du has a large number of troops, facing the attacks of Taishi Ci and Yue Zhongqi, the army will inevitably lose its size.


    But Shijihuhu not only refused to retreat, but also found a record of war, but also tried to rely on the advantage of military strength to forcibly break the double team, but was shot and killed by the advance Taishici.


    Shijihuduhu died, and the five thousand yuan army lost its chief general and was soon defeated.


    Taishici and Yue Zhongqi covered up the killing for a while and completely killed them. They were sure that they could not form combat power, so they returned to support. The decisive battle had just begun.


    The death of Shiji Huduhu in battle was a big blow to the morale of the Yuan army, and the morale dropped a lot.


    Yue Fei seized the opportunity and saw that the fierce Xue army''s aura had been relieved, so he ordered Wei Rui''s white horse to attack.


    The White Horse Yi of Beiwei Army joined forces from the two elite cavalry forces, and even the Qiexue Army, who had the strongest combat power in Yuan Meng, was no match for it. In less than an hour of fighting, it had lost nearly half of its personnel.


    The Qiexue Army was Kublai Khan''s personal army, and Murong Ke did not dare to wipe out the army, so he ordered the recall of the Qiexue Army, which had lost nearly half of the losses, and let another iron cavalry overtake.


    Although this cavalry has a strong combat power, it is obviously still a certain gap compared to the Qiexue army.


    Yue Fei just led his men to fight back the Qiexue army. Although the soldiers consumed a lot of physical strength, they were excited. Faced with the obviously weak Yuan army, they naturally became much more relaxed.


    At this time, the Qin army and the Yuan army had been fighting for two hours. The troops of both sides consumed a lot of physical strength, but they were both determined to refuse to admit defeat.


    Wei Erlu broke the situation, and Yue Fei personally led the Beiwei Army to rush forward and asked Gao Chong and Xiong Kuohai to **** the left and right.


    A super **** general, a war god, and a peak **** general, the arrows are invincible, and any existence that blocks the Qin army will be torn apart.


    Gao Chong even killed eight Yuan generals in a row, and none of them could have had three rounds in his hands.


    Seeing that the Qin army tore up three protective nets on its face, Murong Ke had no choice but to deal with Yue Fei and Beiwei Army.


    If Yue Fei had already rushed to kill himself and he had designated the battlefield, he would have dug a trap in advance, but unfortunately there were not so many ifs.


    Murong Ke was also a person who could take it and let it go, so he chose to retreat decisively. Yue Fei naturally ordered a pursuit and withdrew his troops after chasing for fifty miles.


    The reason why Yue Fei stopped chasing was that the soldiers'' physical strength had reached its peak, and the other was that although Murong Ke was defeated, he was not defeated and the withdrawal of troops was in order.


    Yue Fei wanted to completely defeat Murong Ke by just one battle, which was obviously unrealistic.


    But the results of this battle are already great enough.


    Yue Fei defeated Murong Ke''s 40,000 Mongolian Iron Cavalry with 20,000 Qin Youzhou Iron Cavalry, but defeated him head-on, and killed nearly 15,000 Yuan army, causing himself to suffer 3,500;


    In Shengle''s battle, Yue Fei showed the might of the Qin army and told the world that the Qin army was strong was not just because of the ordnance, but the Qin army had no shortcomings.


    Murong Ke led the army of 40,000 with confidence to fight, but was defeated by Yue Fei for 20,000, and his total strength also dropped to 45,000.


    On the other hand, there are 20,000 defenders in Shengle City, and more than 16,000 Qin troops outside the city.


    The strength gap between the two sides has gradually balanced, and Murong Ke is basically impossible to conquer Shengle City.


    But he was unwilling to withdraw his troops like this, and he wanted to find opportunities to reverse the situation.


    Just when Yue Fei and Murong Ke were fighting wits and courage, Zhang Liao also faced Kublai Khan on Chifeng City, and the intensity was no less than Yue Fei''s side.


    Zhang Liao did not fight Kublai head-on. First, he had already received the news that Yue Fei had fought Gao Jie in the first battle. Since Yue Fei had already done this, he naturally had no need to follow his example.


    The second is a rebellion broke out inside Chifeng City.


    Shortly after Zhang Liao arrived in Chifeng City, the Han generals Liu Zheng and Sun Yanyu in the city suddenly rebelled and killed the marquis of Chifeng City.


    Deputy General Hu Hanye led his army to suppress the rebellion, but he was injured by Liu Chun. If his personal guards had not sacrificed their lives to save him, he would have died in the rebellion. In desperation, he could only lead more than ten thousand troops to escape from Chifeng City and go to Zhang Liao.


    After Liu Zheng completely controlled Chifeng City, he directly opened the city gate and surrendered to Yuan Meng.


    Kublai Khan got Chifeng City without any effort, and his troops expanded further, so Zhang Liao naturally did not dare to confront him head-on.
