As the commander of the first army, Su Butai certainly knew that the cannons were extremely powerful and had a very long range.

But at the same time, it also has the disadvantage of slow movement and helplessness against the enemy nearby.

So he always thought in his heart that the artillery was either on the city or under the strict protection of infantry.

Especially under the threat of the enemy cavalry, rushing to the front of the army is definitely seeking death.

But today Li Muyuan taught a lesson to the veteran general Subutai with actual combat... It turned out that artillery soldiers could also charge bayonets and kill the enemy alone! Subutai felt that the previous Song army artillery was already a great adventure.

So once the surprise attack is effective, they should retreat quickly.

But he clearly saw that just before the smoke dissipated, the Song army's artillery was brave enough to advance again! Why did they dare to move forward?

At this time, Subutai clearly saw that the Song army artillery had now far exceeded the infantry ambush line and was moving towards this side almost two miles away! "Retreat..." Subutai was so scared that all the dead were emitting their souls! Before he could finish his voice, the Song army artillery in the distance stopped in advance, and then fired all the volleys! At this moment, the cavalry and guards around Subutai were cut off by the rapid artillery fire that was hit by the face.

Nearly a hundred 75mm caliber shells fell into the enemy group, causing the Mongolian army to overturn! As for Subutai himself, he was also blown off the bomb shock wave and was blown down from the horses!... When the old general jumped up quickly from the ground, the guards around him hurriedly led the horses for him.

At this time, he wanted to reach out to grab the saddle bridge, but he felt that his right hand was soft and could not lift it up.

Subutai looked down and found that the bright golden armor leaves on his right shoulder were dyed red by blood! He was injured! He gritted his teeth and used one hand to force, and finally jumped onto the war horse.

After that, he ordered his troops to retreat without hesitation! At this time, Subutai had already thought of the reason why the Song army was so bold... There must be a large number of Song army artillery on the city! The cannons that never fired in Datong City were the key points for the Song army to boldly break out of the city wall.

The Song army artillery outside the city can continue to export killing and injury to the Mongolian army.

Moreover, the accompanying infantry must be not far from the artillery position, and they use grenades to protect the artillery at a very long range of a mile away.

At the same time, although their insurgent combination rushed forward one after another, they were always within the five-mile range of the cannons in the city! Now that the smoke was ordered to dissipate, the city was already visible.

If he sent Mongolian cavalry to turn back to attack the Song army's infantry artillery positions, he would face the artillery on the city and the three-fold attack of infantry outside the city! The artillery on the city is covering the artillery outside the city, making the ultra-long range of artillery outside the city unreservedly exerted.

And what about my own side?

It’s not right for him to set off cigarettes, it’s not right for him to pull out cigarettes! “…What a bad battle is this!”

Su Butai kept scolding him. The feeling of being played around was really frustrating! Then, as artillery fired repeatedly from behind, blowing the Mongolian army into blood and blood.

Under the leadership of Subutai, the Mongolian army ran away from the north with its head in her arms!...... They ran three or four miles away in one breath, and Subutai immediately turned around.

Just saw that the Song army artillery was retreating into the city after completing the shooting.

The infantry under the city quickly advanced forward and quickly cleared out the wounded Mongolian soldiers on the battlefield.

Su Butai knew that these Song people must be proud and were celebrating their victory with loud laughter.

On the position he originally occupied was a pile of corpses, with mess everywhere! More than 20,000 people and half of the iron cannons were chopped off by the Datong defenders with axe less than an hour after the war started! Now Subutai already knows that the Datong guard must be a cruel and cunning veteran! In addition, the enemy's artillery is sharp and the city defense is strong, and even infantry can throw grenades a mile away.

This time he made the wrong plan. It was really easy for him to win this Datong City! At this moment, Su Butai was both depressed and hated. Whatever he thought, why did he feel that his lifelong experience was useless?

With a veteran like himself, the Mongolian army that has been tempered for thousands of times, he was defeated so fragilely in Datong City... How can we fight the next battle?

...Just just when the Mongolian veteran Su Butai hit a wall head-on in Datong Mansion and was bleeding.

At the westernmost end of Temujin's three offensive defense lines, Kuoduan, led 100,000 cavalry to advance to the western marshal of Ningxia County of the Great Song Dynasty. At this time, he was in a state of pride.

This Kuoduan is Temujin's grandson and Ogedei's second son.

He is twenty-eight years old this year, but he has been following Temujin for more than ten years.

He made many military achievements in the Western Expedition and was a master of using cavalry tactics.

He usually used military force and marched very quickly and acted as fierce and fierce as fire. Therefore, he was valued by Temujin and appointed him as the marshal of the Western Route Army.

This time when Kuoduan entered Ningxia County, he was fully prepared.

The young marshal knew very well that his greatest advantage in this battle was not the muskets and cannons, but the speed that their Mongolian cavalry were best at.

In Ningxia County, if you can move forward quickly.

The Song army on the opposite side attacked Ningxia without completing the mobilization of troops, and then he would have won more than half of it.

The reason why Kuoduan made such a judgment is that Ningxia County is too far from the Central Plains region.

When the opponent discovered that Genghis Khan launched an attack, he immediately made the move to send troops to defend Ningxia County, which would take a long time.

He had to launch a surprise attack on Ningxia County at an extremely rapid speed before the other party made arrangements and even before he could receive the news of the war! So at the beginning of his departure, Kuoduan simply abandoned heavy equipment such as iron cannons, and at the same time equipped the 100,000 people under his command with six horses each, allowing them to move forward at high speed.

In addition to bows and arrows, the 30,000 Mongolian troops in his team also brought the most elite muskets of the Mongolian army and a large number of ten thousand enemies.

In addition, the remaining 70,000 Seme Legion were also cavalry recruited near Khwarezm.

Khwarezm is located on the plateau, with a cold and dry climate and a barren land.

The warriors there were extremely perseverance and were also very suitable for the climate of Ningxia County, the Great Song Dynasty.

At the same time, the war horses he brought were carefully selected, so when Kuoduan led these 100,000 people to the western foot of Helan Mountain, the defenders of the former Xixia area had no time to react.

So Kuoduan already knew that he had abandoned his baggage and allowed the troops to move forward at full speed, and he bet to win.
Chapter completed!
