Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty - Chapter 624

“This is Lake Baihai!” In the military camp, Zhao Chen, Qu Duan, Li Xianzhong and others were together, and Qu Duan pointed to the map at this moment.

Lake Baikal is the Lake Baikal of later generations, and this era is called Lake Baikal!

“Every autumn, a large number of Mongolians gather here! Many tribes perform autumn sacrifices here, thank you for the blessing of the eternal life! This is their custom and tradition! The Military Intelligence Department has been investigating the grassland for several years, and it has been the same throughout the years. Almost half of the grassland tribes will go here! The military is preparing to use 400,000 cavalry to encircle and annihilate the Mongols! It can be said that this is another nationwide battle! The entire north, all the cavalry will be dispatched!” Qu Duan said .

“The four hundred thousand cavalrymen come from the four armies, and they need to cooperate well with each other! The State Council and the Military Ministry have decided to establish a joint cavalry headquarters in the north to command this battle and deploy the armies, with Yue Fei as the commander. Li Xianzhong, you, Liu Qi and Han Shizhong are the deputy commanders, and you are responsible for the specific battles! I mainly want to see how the armaments of various places are! Over the past few years, half of the soldiers in the army have been recruits. I don’t know if I can participate this time. Combat mission.” Zhao Chen said.

“Your Majesty, rest assured, we will never let you down!” Li Xianzhong said.

“Very well, I will rest for one night today, and I will inspect the army tomorrow morning!” Zhao Chen said.

Early the next morning, when the sky was faintly bright, the army of more than 100,000 had already assembled.

With Zhao Chen’s order, the sound of a galloping horse rang, and all the cavalry galloped toward the north!

The riding skills of the soldiers are extremely high! Since they entered the army, they have been training hard every day!

Zhao Chen first watched the soldiers’ basic riding skills. In the afternoon, large-scale exercises began!

The army of more than one hundred thousand was divided into two parts, and they fought against each other on the vast grassland ahead!

The exercise lasted for ten days. During these ten days, Zhao Chen has been following the army, he has been observing, and the staff of the army have been observing, and at the same time, he has judged the combat effectiveness of the army!

“Your Majesty, although a large number of recruits have joined the army, the combat effectiveness of our army has not decreased much! The recruits do not have enough combat experience, but the years of hard training are enough to make up for the lack of experience! Moreover, there are still a large number of them in our army. Veterans exist as core personnel. In real war, veterans can bring recruits to fight, so that they can gradually mature in the war! These recruits are going through the baptism of war!” The judgement made by the staff of General Qu Duan was reported to Zhao Chen.

“As for this joint cavalry command, you must also be involved! After this battle is over, you will give me a report. If there is another war in the future, a similar joint command may be established to command operations in a unified manner! “Zhao Chen said.

“The final commander is in charge.” Qu Weiwei nodded and said.

“I want to go to the north to meet the Mongols.” Zhao Chen thought for a while and said again.

“This… Your Majesty, going north to Beijing is very dangerous.” Qu Duan said.

“With so many troops here, what can I be afraid of?” Zhao Chen smiled.

On the third day of April, Zhao Chen and Li Xianzhong led 10,000 Jingqi all the way north.

On April 13th, Zhao Chen, Li Xianzhong and others came to Zhenzhou City!

Zhenzhou is located in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. This era belongs to the Khitan people! Da Song inherited the land and population of the Liao Kingdom. It stands to reason that this place belongs to Da Song, but now it is actually an empty city! After the Song Dynasty unified the north, it has not had time to return here.

“Zhenzhou, built by Empress Dowager Xiao in the twenty-two years of the unification of the Liao State, was the place where Siyamen was recruited in the northwest of Liao State. Afterwards, Yelv Dashi went north and stayed here. This Zhenzhou has a history of more than 200 years. !” The army was guarding all around, Zhao Chen and Li Xianzhong walked along the underside of the city wall of Zhenzhou City with more than a dozen guards.

The city wall here is very dilapidated, and the gate of Zhenzhou city in front has also fallen. Zhao Chen couldn’t help but sigh when he saw this scene.

At this moment, suddenly more than a hundred riders rushed out of the gate of Zhenzhou! These people are all dressed up as standard Mongolians. I didn’t expect that there are even Mongolians in Zhenzhou City!

“Your Majesty, be careful!” Li Xianzhong said in surprise.

“Kill them all!” Zhao Chen sneered.

He furiously galloped forward, Li Xianzhong and others hurriedly followed! With a shout, Li Xianzhong rushed to the front, and the dozen or so guards rushed up!

These more than ten people have already met the Mongols, almost a meeting, their opponents immediately fell to the ground! They all had iron spears in their hands, and the iron spears were flying right now, and no one in front of the Mongols could stop them every move! These more than ten people are all warriors carefully selected from the army to protect Zhao Chen’s safety, and each of them is a master of the innate realm! After Zhao Chen unified the Song Dynasty, he still continued to military. Over the years, more and more martial arts masters have joined the army, eager to make contributions!

More than a hundred Mongols never thought that the Song army here was so powerful. After a while, they fled in all directions, and the surrounding Song army had already been overwhelmed at this moment!

After a quarter of an hour, all the Mongolians were subdued, and three Mongolian nobles, dressed a little bit differently from the other Mongolians, were escorted to Zhao Chen.

“Do you speak Chinese?” Zhao Chen said.

“I’ll say it.” A handsome Mongolian youth who seemed to be only more than twenty years old said in a weird tone.

“Very good! Tell me, why are you attacking us!” Zhao Chen said.

“Looking at your dress, you should be a very high-ranking person among the Han people. If we catch you, we can use it in exchange for money!” The young man snorted coldly.

“You Mongolians go south to attack us every winter, why?” Zhao Chen said.

“You have money, we are going to grab you! Isn’t this a matter of course?” the Mongolian youth said.

“It really is a rogue! For you Mongolian rogues, I have endured it to the extreme! Come, pull it down, chop it down!” Zhao Chen sneered and said.

The Song army immediately pulled the Mongols down, but even if they were dying, the Mongols did not beg for mercy.

“Your Majesty, these Mongols have always been like this. They have always felt that looting us is justified.” Li Xianzhong said.

“If the order is passed down, the whole army will train carefully. When autumn arrives, we must completely eliminate these Mongolian robbers and completely eliminate the northern border!” Zhao Chen said.

“Finally, I will follow the order!” Li Xianzhong said immediately.

Zhao Chen, Li Xianzhong and others stayed here for more than ten days, observing the situation of the Mongols in various places, and then they returned south again. Zhao Chen went to the Yue Fei army in Liaodong not long after to inspect Yue Fei’s army.

From leaving Yanjing on February 20, Zhao Chen did not return to Yanjing City until the end of May. In three months, the important affairs of the Government Administration Council and the 36 provinces continued to be delivered to Zhao Chen’s hands, but Zhao Chen Chen did not give any instructions, and the court was still operating normally, and there was no turbulence in the world! After years of development, the national system has been basically stable, which made Zhao Chen very gratified.

The August of the lunar calendar has arrived, and Mongolian tribes are coming one after another on Lake Baikal in the far north!

Lake Baikal is the world’s largest freshwater lake and the deepest freshwater lake. Its freshwater storage has reached 20% of the world’s freshwater storage, enough for the next generation of the world’s 7 billion people to spend half a century. ! However, in later generations, this place has nothing to do with China, and it has already belonged to Russia.

During the Han Dynasty, this place was called “Beihai” by the Chinese, and it was under the control of the Huns at that time!

When Su Wu went to the Xiongnu as an envoy, he looked like he was in Beihai.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty and Western Jin Dynasty, it was controlled by the Xianbei people, and it was also called Beihai at that time.

During the Tang Dynasty, this place was controlled by Turkic people, and until now, it has become a holy place for Mongols.

The autumn is high and fresh, and more and more Mongolian tribes come here!

By mid-August, the number of Mongols who came here had exceeded 700,000, and there were more Mongols coming here!

The area of ​​Lake Baikal is much larger than that of Taiwan Island, and its surroundings are large enough to accommodate more people.

Dozens of Mongolian tribe leaders, large and small, gathered together to discuss the invasion of the Song Dynasty south this winter! Speaking of happiness, these tribal leaders couldn’t help laughing.

They didn’t know that 400,000 Song troops had already arrived one after another, and they had already launched an “encirclement hunting” operation against the Mongols! The hunting is the military code name of the Song army this time!

Beginning in mid-August, some Mongolian tribes and rangers in the periphery were attacked by the Song army, and then the Song army kept pushing in!

The Mongols gradually felt wrong!

On September 13th, in the north, 100,000 Jingqi under Yue Fei encountered dozens of Mongolian tribal coalition forces. The war lasted for nearly a day. Liu Qi was killed from the east, and the Mongolian coalition forces were defeated!

On September 15th, in the southwest, Han Shizhong and Li Xianzhong suddenly attacked another group of Mongolian tribal troops that were gathering here, and the Mongols were defeated again!

After nearly half a month, within a few hundred miles around Lake Baikal, the Song army and the Mongols fought more than ten battles with a force of over 100,000!

The Song Army command system is extremely efficient. Often after a war broke out in a certain area, the surrounding Song Army immediately provided assistance! The Mongols fight separately from each tribe! With a modern military system against the loose and primitive combat system of the Mongols, the results of the war can be imagined! Moreover, the weapons of the Song Army are far better than those of the Mongols! Song Jun is all exquisite crossbows, with barbed arrows, and many Mongolians still use bone arrows! The Song army are all light cavalry, but everyone wears iron helmets to protect their heads. The Mongols don’t have any armor at all! The 400,000 Song Army are all young and strong soldiers who are good at riding and shooting, while the Mongols are old and weak, women and children!

In more than ten wars, the Mongols were completely defeated!

Come October, the “hunting” is still going on!

The Song Army continued to encircle and suppress them with troops and divisions. The grassland continued to scream for killing and bow and arrow, and the entire grassland corpses were everywhere, and the corpses of Mongols were everywhere!

This powerful northern barbarian suffered a devastating blow. Afterwards, the Song Army counted the battlefield, and there were more than half a million Mongol corpses beside Lake Baikal! Many of them were old people and children. During the war, these old people and children also fought back strongly. Song Jun did not give any mercy. In the end, as long as the Mongols were besieged.

The first snow fell on the grassland. The 400,000 Great Song cavalry still did not stop the war. They were still hunting north and west…
