Chapter 358: Tight Time and Heavy Tasks

Atatemur, who was spitting blood, could never have imagined that he would die here.

At this time, the Mongolian soldiers who had lost their commander were also in despair and confusion. They attacked Lin Chen like crazy.

You must know that as soldiers, if the commander died, they would also be buried with him.

If you want to survive, the only option is to avenge the commander.

Lin Chen didn't know that he had killed the commander of this Mongolian cavalry, but just flicked his finger slightly.

A touch of hot innate true qi turned into invisible sword energy, instantly piercing the Mongolian cavalry who wanted to pounce on him one by one.

Lin Chen took the nail hammer from another person and swung it vigorously.

Every time the hammer went down, it would bring a burst of blood rain, splashing the surrounding area with scarlet.

Wherever he went, the Mongolian cavalry fell to the ground, and no less than a hundred people were killed or injured!

This scene made even the personal guards of Atatemur who rushed up stunned. They were all experienced warriors who had never seen such a brave Han people. They were all hesitant for a moment.

However, the Yulin cavalry who followed Lin Chen into the battle would not hesitate and harvested their lives to their heart's content.

For the Southern Song men on their side, such a bloody scene also shocked them.

Wang Yuan and others were all natives of Sichuan and Shu.

They had fought with foreign races for a hundred years and knew the horror of foreign cavalry.

But they didn't expect that they would be so vulnerable? !

"Damn, where did our commander come from? He actually has a cavalry that can suppress the Mongols?"

Wang Yuan heard the muttering in his ear.

It was not someone else, but the rough man he had seen before.

The two of them were very lucky and were assigned to the same squad.

The latter was also heard to be promoted to squad leader because of his outstanding performance.

Not to mention what these newly recruited infantrymen of the Yulin thought.

At this point, the outcome was already decided.

The Mongolian cavalry suffered heavy casualties and was defeated.

Under the fierce attack of the Yulin Hussars, most of the Mongolian cavalry had been killed, and only one or two thousand people escaped from the battlefield.

On the verge of life and death, it is normal to choose to escape.

After all, they are also human beings, and facing huge casualties, they will inevitably feel fear.

Lin Chen looked at the direction where the Mongolian remnants fled, and just called Yang Zhi, ordering him to lead a thousand Yulin Hussars to chase and kill.

The rest followed him to encircle and suppress the Mongolian cavalry trapped in the infantry formation.

"Quack, quack!"

One crow after another hovered in the sky for a long time.

It seemed that they were waiting for the creatures below to leave, and then they would go down to devour their flesh and blood.

This battle ended.

Lin Chen took off the hand armor full of knife marks, and looked at the infantry who were cleaning the battlefield with an indifferent expression.

He had ordered not to leave any prisoners.

Therefore, any Mongolian soldiers who were not dead would be stabbed by the infantry to eliminate future troubles.

Of course.

Even without Lin Chen's order, these Sichuan infantrymen who had blood feuds with foreign races would take action.

"Sir!"

Wei Qing stepped forward to report the losses.

"This time, the newly recruited infantry suffered heavy losses, with more than 4,000 casualties, and the Yulin Guard lost more than 300 cavalry."

Lin Chen nodded slightly after hearing this.

The loss of newly recruited infantry was almost one-fifth.

After all, these were new recruits who saw blood for the first time, and they were facing the elite Mongolian cavalry.

However, when the surviving infantrymen digested the experience of this bloody battle, they would become real veterans.

Of course.

The results of the battle were also quite gratifying.

Annihilated 10,000 Mongolian cavalrymen.

This result is rare in the entire history of the Southern Song Dynasty.

"Leave the infantrymen to clean up the battlefield." Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

These 10,000 Mongolian cavalrymen were originally stationed at an important pass in Fengxiang Prefecture.

This pass can be used as a bridgehead when advancing and can defend against the attack of the Southern Song Dynasty when retreating. It has a high strategic value. Ten thousand Mongolian cavalrymen were stationed here just now.

Now that ten thousand defenders have been annihilated by him, Lin Chen naturally wants to take this pass.

Moreover, the speed must be fast, and the escaped Mongolian remnants cannot be given the opportunity to report the news, otherwise the enemy will inevitably send new troops.

Therefore, the next march must be a race against time.

This Loujian Pass was originally a pass built by the pseudo-Qi supported by the Jin people to resist the Southern Song Dynasty.

As the Jin people were killed by the Mongols, this pass also fell into the hands of the Mongols.

In the pass, there are not only more than ten thousand Mongolian cavalrymen, but also some Han auxiliary troops.

Meng Kang is the commander of the Han army at Loujian Pass, with an official rank of eight.

Now Mongolia has not yet established the Yuan Dynasty, and some official ranks still follow the Song system.

Meng Kang's subordinates, who were in charge of about 2,000 Han auxiliary troops, were responsible for feeding horses, repairing armor, and other matters for the Mongolian cavalry masters.

Atatemur, the highest officer of Loujianguan, was now missing.

Meng Kang watched the sky darken, and his heart began to beat.

At this moment.

Meng Kang suddenly saw people gathering on the horizon outside the pass.

"I think Lord Ata is back!"

Thinking so in his heart, Meng Kang hurriedly asked his men to lower the gate of the pass.

If Atatemur was neglected, he would be whipped.

Although the status of the Han people under the rule of Mongolia today is not as low as it was when the Yuan Dynasty was established.

But the Han officials were also humble in front of the Mongolian nobles, no different from slaves.

Rumble.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer.

Meng Kang heard the movement and subconsciously glanced outside.

That's not right!

Since when did the Mongolian cavalry wear black armor?

Look at the big flag, it is obviously of Han style!

"Oh no! It's the Southern Song dogs that are attacking the city!" Meng Kang was horrified.

It's interesting.

The people of the Southern Song Dynasty regarded the Han people in the north as traitors.

The Han people in the north looked down on the Southern Song Dynasty and called them dogs.

The Han people in the north had a complicated mentality towards the Southern Song Dynasty.

They were all of the same race a hundred years ago, but now they have to fight each other.

Who to blame?

Of course, we have to blame the inhuman Southern Song Dynasty court.

When Yue Fei went north to fight, countless Han people in the north came with their families, and there were also righteous armies to support him, just to let the Southern Song Dynasty regain the lost territory.

However?

Zhao Gou issued twelve golden medals, and Yue Fei died unjustly at Fengbo Pavilion.

The entire Northern righteous army was slaughtered by foreigners.

This kind of thing happened not only in the early Southern Song Dynasty, but also occasionally in the Southern Song Dynasty.

At first, there were many people in the north who consciously served as Han people.

But later, the Han people in the north found that the Southern Song Dynasty court could not be relied on at all!

Every time the northern Han people surrendered, they were almost sold out by the unhuman rulers and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty.

There were even cases where the Southern Song army killed innocent people in the north and looted the people.

Therefore, the north and the south were completely alienated.

Back to Loujianguan.

Meng Kang instinctively wanted to gather his soldiers to resist.

But before the city gate was closed, it was rushed in by the Yulin Hussars.

All the rebels guarding the city gate were beheaded.

How could these two thousand Han auxiliary troops be the opponents of the Yulin Hussars?

After most of them died, Meng Kang surrendered with the remaining Han auxiliary troops.

Lin Chen frowned as he looked at the hostile and uneasy eyes of these northern Han people.

He also knew the delicate relationship between the northern Han people and the Southern Song Dynasty.

From a certain perspective.

If Zhu Yuanzhang had not unified and established the Ming Dynasty.

There is a high probability that the Central Plains would be divided into north and south.

The reason is that during the Southern Song Dynasty, the northern Han people fell into the rule of foreign races for a hundred years.

This problem is not what he needs to consider right now.

"Confiscate the weapons and have Wei Qing arrange infantry to guard them strictly."

Lin Chen did not plan to stay at Loujianguan.

After all, time is short and the mission is heavy!
