Chapter 264: Kublai Khan's Panic
Five miles outside Xiangyang City, the Mongolian and Yuan armies were stationed.
There were 600,000 Mongolian and Yuan troops, and their military tents stretched for dozens of miles. Even in the dark night, the lights were bright, and countless Mongolian soldiers were patrolling back and forth.
"Report."
"Great Khan, something bad has happened. The city behind us, Nanyang, has been captured and occupied by the Han army."
In the king's tent, a Mongolian and Yuan general ran in in a panic and reported.
"What? Nanyang was taken away?" Kublai Khan originally had a serious look on his face, but at this moment his face suddenly changed and he looked solemn.
"Report to the Great Khan."
"Nanyang City was captured by the Han army. The Han army made a surprise attack from the waterway. Now there is no way for us to retreat." The Meng Yuan general said in fear.
"How...how is this possible?"
"Did General Ali lose? This gave Han the opportunity to sneak attack from the waterway?"
"No, this is impossible. Except for a few people, no one knows about Ben Khan's two-pronged attack plan. Why would the Han Dynasty know about it? Could it be that the Han Dynasty has seen through it a long time ago?" Kublai Khan's expression was particularly special at this moment.
His dignity was filled with worry.
"Great Khan, what should we do now? Now that Nanyang has been captured, the road back has been cut off. Not to mention retreat, but the subsequent transportation of grain and grass has also been cut off. If this continues for a long time, our army of 600,000 will be overwhelmed by grain and grass.
Ah." General Meng Yuan cried out sadly.
"Quickly survey the enemy's situation to see if there is a chance to recapture Nanyang." Kublai Khan said loudly after thinking.
"Great Khan, my subordinates have already tried. They sent 30,000 troops back to Nanyang to aid, but they all failed. There are at least 50,000 Han troops in Nanyang City, or even more." The general shook his head helplessly.
"Why is this?"
"This Khan has asked people to personally investigate. Even after the Han Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty, the total military strength was only 700,000. They were all divided into various places for guarding. There are 400,000 in Xiangyang City. It is impossible to divide the troops. Where did the troops for the surprise attack come from?
Coming?" Kublai Khan asked in confusion.
"Reporting to the Great Khan, my subordinates don't know about it either," General Meng Yuan said in fear.
Opening the shuttle door, the army descended out of thin air. No matter what Kublai Khan did, it was impossible to imagine it.
"The road back has been cut off, and the transportation of grain and grass has also been cut off. Our army's grain and grass are only enough for ten days. If within ten days, I can't break through Xiangyang and resolve the war situation, then I, Meng Yuan, will be defeated." Kublai Khan's face.
I thought with unprecedented solemnity.
Originally, he thought that with the support of troops and a strategy of attacking from both sides, Xiangyang could be defeated in one battle.
But now that Liu Xie was strategizing, his plan was undoubtedly broken. Instead, he was attacked from both sides by the Han army, cutting off his retreat.
"Great Khan, there are hundreds of thousands of Han troops in Xiangyang City. If they hold on to the city, it is impossible for us to break through in ten days." General Meng Yuan said.
"There is no way out. The only way to fight is to fight." Kublai Khan's eyes were determined, and he was even more determined to risk his life and survive: "Please pass on the order of this Khan and do not spread the news that the way back has been cut off."
, so as not to lower the morale of the soldiers, we will launch an attack on Xiangyang early tomorrow morning. I will defeat Xiangyang in one battle. Either I, Meng Yuan, will be resurrected, or the Han Dynasty will be destroyed."
"yes."
See this.
Many Mongolian and Yuan generals had no choice but to comply.
actually.
Even if Nanyang is captured, the way back is cut off.
Kublai Khan also had a chance to withdraw his troops and escape. After all, he had an army of 600,000, and the Han army at the rear could not completely stop him.
But Kublai Khan's pride did not let him do this, and he retreated unwillingly. He was not willing to fail.
Eyes turned.
Inside Xiangyang City.
"Your Majesty, General Zhou has sent back the news that Meng Yuan's retreat has been cut off, and Nanyang City is in the hands of my great Han." Guo Jia said excitedly.
"Zhou Yu has done a good job. Our Han navy is not only a naval force, but also an elite force on land." Liu Xie sat on the throne and nodded happily.
"Your Majesty, now that Meng Yuan's retreat has been cut off, our army can hold on to the city. Meng Yuan will inevitably collapse in less than half a month. Then our army can take advantage of the victory to pursue and destroy Meng Yuan." Guo Jia suggested after thinking for a while.
"No, I don't plan to waste any more time."
Unexpectedly, Liu Xie shook his head.
"Does the king have a plan?" Guo Jia asked.
"Gu has plundered the destiny of the Song Dynasty and occupied the Central Plains. The progress of this realm has been completely disrupted by Gu. Gu can send the main army to come again. Gu will defeat the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty in a battle." Liu Xie said with a majestic look.
Now we set out to conquer this world of divine sculptures.
The Han Dynasty has not yet exhausted all its efforts. Only two of the five elite legions of the Han Dynasty have descended, and there are three more legions waiting to be summoned in the main realm.
But now Liu Xie has plundered enough luck to bring down three legions.
Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Sun Ce and other generals have been waiting in the main world for a long time.
"Report to the king that General Lu Bu has returned with his army."
At this time, Dian Wei entered the palace and reported.
"Your Majesty, Lu Bu, comes to see you."
Lu Bu strode into the palace, his armor still on his body, and knelt on one knee in front of Liu Xie and said.
"No courtesy, stay on your own terms." Liu Xie waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Bu said respectfully.
"This time Lu Aiqing has made a great contribution. He successfully defeated the Song capital and captured the Song emperor. I am deeply pleased." Liu Xie said with relief.
"As a minister of the King, I must serve the King even to the death." Lu Bu said firmly in his eyes.
"Anyone who has contributed to isolation will never be forgotten. When this world is completely wiped out and the world is unified, your meritorious deeds will be rewarded one by one." Liu Xie slowly stood up and waved his hand with an incomparable majesty.
"I will thank you for your kindness." All the ministers said.
"Now that the Mongolian Yuan's retreat has been cut off, my Han Dynasty has surrounded its army, but it is certain that Kublai Khan will never withdraw his troops, so tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle between our Han Dynasty and the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty." Liu Xie looked around at the crowd in the palace.
The minister said.
"I am willing to kill all the evil enemies for the king and bring down Meng Yuan." Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, and many generals said in unison, with endless fighting spirit.
"Tomorrow, I will personally supervise the battle and watch with my own eyes how our great Han army will destroy the enemy." Liu Xie's pupils condensed, and his fighting spirit burst out.
Tomorrow's battle.
The battle that determines the fate of this world.
win.
Then the Han Dynasty will have no rival in this world, and no country in this world can compete with the Han Dynasty.
After all, Meng Yuan was the strongest in this era, and his army was powerful enough to reach the far west, leaving countless aliens in despair.
But this time, the reason why Liu Xie did not use the advantage of defending the city to deal with the Mongolian and Yuan army.
It is to use the true strength of the Han Dynasty to fight the strongest Mongolian Yuan in this era.
This battle not only determines victory or defeat.
It also laid the foundation for the glory of the Han family.
It depends on whether the Han army is more powerful or the prairie army is more powerful.
One battle will determine the sky, one battle will determine the world.
The next day.
In front of Xiangyang City.
Still shrouded in the clouds of war.
Outside the city, Lu Bu's army returned for reinforcements, and a total of 500,000 troops were waiting.
