Because the artillery on the fortress had never been fired at full speed from the beginning.

Moreover, the artillery equipped by the Song army now has "war metal" molybdenum added.

This metal that melts only at 2,200 degrees greatly improves the heat resistance of the cannon.

If Temujin now knew how long the Song army's artillery would have to be fired at full strength before stopping fire because the gun body was overheated, he would definitely be hit by this bad news! Because it proved that his Mongolian army, after spending huge amounts of money on military technology over the years and achieving impressive achievements... he was pulled further away by others! The Mongolian army now only knows how to enhance the thickness of the cannon chamber wall, which is used to store heat energy, and use water to cool the scorching gun barrels.

However, the Song Dynasty used their guns with extremely light and precise gun barrels to fire shells that exceeded 20 times their number with their guns, and would not reach the critical point of overheating!... So today, Temujin watched the Sci-Eye Army's army tortured to death under the Great Demon King's artillery, while the long-range guns on the fortress were still slowly attacking the charge power of the Mongolian army.

He knew that if he continued to fight like this, it would become a stupid way to use human lives to consume enemy shells.

So Temujin quickly called out Jin to withdraw his troops, threw down more than 10,000 corpses again, and then removed all the Semi people who rushed up.

At this time, Temujin certainly knew that his attempt to capture this fortress would probably still return in vain under heavy losses! ... Time passed quickly, and Shen Mo, who was in the Yanshan defense line, was also paying attention to news about the Thunder Fortress at any time.

Except for the first three days after Temujin arrived, he tried to attack the fortress in various ways and suffered repeated setbacks, losing tens of thousands of people.

The million troops he led quietly surrounded the Thunder Fortress.

This is called "blocking" in military tactics, and it is actually a very undesirable way of combat.

Shen Mo didn't believe that Temujin would be helpless under the Thunder Fortress. There were too many tricks in the old wolf's belly.

On the twelfth day of the siege, the news about Thunder Fortress was immediately cut off.

Because before this, the steamboats on the Lightning River were always approaching to observe the battle situation, contacting the fortress, and sending back information to Yanshan.

But on the twelfth day, the River of Lightning, which was in the dry season in late autumn, was cut off by Temujin's troops downstream of the Thunder Fortress, making the steamboat no longer reach within ten miles of the fortress.

At this point, the Thunder Fortress was hanging alone outside Yanshan, and the news was cut off!... Now, Shen Mo has also begun to estimate Temujin's next action.

At present, one thing is certain, that is, he will never use human lives as a price to exchange hundreds of thousands of casualties for this Thunder Fortress.

Then, Temujin is likely to leave some troops behind, monitor the siege of Thunder Fortress, and instead sends his troops to Yanshan.

At this time, Shen Mo also issued an order to make the defenders of various passes in Yanshan ready to deal with the crazy impact of Temujin's army at any time.

According to Temujin's previous tactics, European troops often gathered the national strength and built a solid defense line, and prepared hundreds of thousands of troops to fight these Mongolian soldiers.

The Mongols who came and went like the wind would break away from the two armies within one or two days and suddenly appear hundreds or thousands of miles away.

They would attack in large numbers from the enemy's side and behind the European army. In the rear of the European army, soldiers were slaughtered and looted in cities and towns, causing the morale of the enemy's army to fluctuate.

At this time, those European legions gathered together will face a life-and-death dilemma.

If they turn back and attack, the Mongolian soldiers will march several times faster than theirs and they will definitely not be able to catch up.

If they continue to defend themselves, all their territory except one frontier legion would be ravaged by the Mongolian army into a bloody land.

If they continue to gather together, they will do nothing.

As long as they divide their troops, they will be eaten by the Mongolian army one by one! This is the passive situation formed on the battlefield with the European army's mobility being weaker than that of the Mongolian army.

Shen Mo was also worried that Temujin would reuse the same trick in this war.

So he was prepared to deal with it in several aspects. In the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, all the mountain passes were firmly guarded by his more than 100,000 soldiers.

In Datong Prefecture, west of Yanshan Defense Line, he also arranged for Li Muyuan, the chief disciple who was the best in the world to guard the city.

As for the Helan Mountain area to the west of Datong, Chang Chunyuan and Zhong Yutong from the Ningxia Military Region were stationed.

At the same time, on Lintao Road hundreds of miles south of Helan Mountain, Shen Mo's three sharp blade heroes led the troops as the general reserve team of the Northwest War Zone.

Lintao Road is east, which is the south of Datong Prefecture.

It was Marshal Jiang Yuxin, the King of Han, who led the three Hua Shen team to take charge of Xiangyang and formed the Central Theater Command reserve team.

In this way, the three Blade Masters and the three Flower Gods can lead the fast cavalry troops to support the front line at any time.

At the same time, the Lintao Road Guard and Han Wang Jiang Yuxin also formed a second line of defense in front of the Mongolian army in case the war was unfavorable.

In other words, the current Helan Mountain, Datong Prefecture and Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures are the first front of the Song Dynasty.

Lintao County, Xiangyang Prefecture, and Shandong are the reserve teams of this first front and are also the second array to defend against enemy attacks.

As long as Lintao is maintained, Chengdu can be as stable as Mount Tai.

As long as Xiangyang is in hand, the Jianghan area can be safe and sound! As for Shandong and Kaifeng, there are two famous players, Wanyan Chen and Yang Miaozhen, at home.

So what Shen Mo listed was a dignified formation this time, but instead needed a surprise weapon to stand out. He had to use a strange strategy to win, but he became the Mongol side.

This is the strategic situation formed after the reversal of the strength and weakness between the enemy and us.

...This war is not only a competition of military strength, but also a confrontation of the will, military literacy and strategic standards of the generals on both sides.

Now Shen Mo knew that while he was thinking hard and guessing Temujin's intention to fight, the genius on the grassland was also examining and speculating on his own ideas.

Thinking of this, Shen Mo couldn't help but sigh.

Temujin made the decision to fight this southern expedition was not wrong at all! This was the period when the Mongols were the strongest, and the development speed of the Song Dynasty was several times higher than that of him.

So a few years ago, Temujin decided to attack the Song Dynasty with all his strength.

After that, Temujin studied technology, built firearms, gathered troops, prepared food and grass, and prepared all this in three years.

The Mongolian army is now at its peak, and it is also the closest moment when Mongolia fights against the Song Dynasty and is about to win.
