Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 178 Overture to Sayo River

This was the first time Li Mu saw a river in this wasteland, but after seeing the river, Li Mu immediately realized what the next battle would be.

That river may be the Sayo River, and historical data shows that the Yuan army basically won the biggest victory of the eldest son Xizheng here, and if I remember correctly, the Yuan army won an unprecedented victory here, almost These countries are unstoppable.

If it hadn't been for Wo Kuotai's death, the land in the west might have been completely ruled by the Yuan army.

But these are all things for later. Knowing that the Yuan army will win the battle in the end, Li Mu's heart is calm and bloody. Perhaps what he wants to see at this moment is how the Yuan army will win. this battle.

The troops advanced slowly, and finally on the banks of the Saijo River, after several battles outside the city of Budapest, the coalition forces of the western countries were drawn out.

The scale of the coalition forces this time is several times larger than before. Not only that, but this time the coalition forces have exhausted almost all their strength and formed an army of 10 people here. It seems that it is also powerful.

The 4 or [-] Yuan army seems to be dwarfed by comparison.

But at the moment when the clouds are thick, the momentum of the Yuan army is very strong, but the [-] coalition army looks a little defeated, even a little cowardly.

Bella IV was wearing serious armor in the army, looking at the situation ahead with a sad face.

The news of Legnica's defeat was a dark cloud hanging over his heart. The legions sent from several countries here were all killed there, and I heard that the casualties on the other side did not even exceed 1000 people.

Why do those guys who look like barbarians have such powerful combat power, and how can the little horses under their crotch be able to lead them to win such a battle?
Bela II also knew from the people who fled back why the Tatars won the victory because they had a dense arrow rain that had never been seen before.

Moreover, those arrows are extremely sharp and can penetrate armor, and there is something stained on the arrows. As long as the soldiers who were shot, many people died because of it.

But Bella didn't think that the failure of the war was all because of the sharp arrows of the opponent, and it was probably because the opponent had such a huge army to a large extent.

But today is different. I have an army of one hundred thousand in my hands, which is definitely an unprecedented force. Moreover, these soldiers of my own are real soldiers, all wearing heavy armor, and wrapping themselves tightly. , It is definitely not comparable to those miscellaneous soldiers before.

Bella IV believes that with such sufficient troops in his hands, he will definitely be able to deal a head-on blow to these invaders by then!
In terms of disadvantages, Bella IV actually knows some of them, that is, he does not have as many cavalry as the opponent, and at the same time, his morale has also been hit to a certain extent.

But in general, my advantages still outweigh my disadvantages. People like myself are fighting with their backs here today. This battle is about life and death. I believe that every soldier will show the courage and strength they should have.

Bella IV can only comfort himself in this way now, because watching the mighty army on the plain in the distance, some people have already started commotion.

Bella IV made these people settle down by relying on his strong loss. At the same time, he ordered a thousand defenders to guard the only stone bridge on the river, so that the Yuan army could not rush over, and there was no way to let go of the soldiers.

It has to be said that Bella IV is stronger than the previous Duke Henry II. It is not at 01:30. Under his command, the coalition forces quickly calmed down and did not take the initiative to attack. The Yuan army who wanted to attack everywhere shot arrows to prevent them from crossing the river.

The Yuan army did not make any achievements under such a defense. The Chimu army led by Li Mu launched an attack on the stone bridge under the order of Batu, but the stone bridge was too narrow, and the guards on it were infantry. The sporadic knights were not powerful enough, and they could only retreat after losing a few companions.

However, the Yuan army did not give up. After testing several times again, it was found that this mighty army was indeed difficult to deal with, and the position of the Yuan army was very unfavorable at the moment, and bad results were likely to happen, so Batu ordered The troops retreated to the distance, temporarily retreating behind the front of the soldiers.

Li Mu rode back to the camp, but Batu didn't call Li Mu this time, instead Subotai called Li Mu.

"Take a full day's rest. Tomorrow night, choose the elite warriors in your army, take your bows, and fight with me."

Su Butai took a sip of kumiss, and said to Li Mu, it seemed that he saw Li Mu's surprised eyes, but he said the same thing at the moment.

"This is the order of the Great Khan. The barbarians chose a good location. We have nothing to do with them in the open river."

"Then are we going to seize the bridge?" Li Mu asked directly, Su Butai glanced at Li Mu, but nodded with a smile.

"That's right, this is the meaning of the Great Khan. When the time comes, you and your men will have to be more agile when capturing the bridge."

Su Butai encouraged him so much, and Li Mu immediately nodded in agreement, Su Butai asked Li Mu to go back and have a good rest, but suddenly he stopped Li Mu.

"If the plan goes well tomorrow, remember to follow Da Khan when you cross the bridge with your Chimu army. By the way, it's best to use two horses."

Subotai's words stopped Li Mu, and Li Mu also looked at the other party at the moment, Subotai drank the kumiss in his cup and said carefreely.

"This barbarian army of [-] people is all heavily armored, which is very difficult to deal with. However, the Great Khan is also prepared. When the time comes, we will see whether the heavy armored knights are more powerful than our Iron Buddha."

Li Mu was shocked when he heard these words. This was the first time he heard Tie Futu's name from Su Butai's mouth, but in fact he hadn't seen the impact scene of Tie Futu until now.Those heavy armored knights rode lightly on horses, and the heavy armor was pulled on the carriage. The battle in the west was extremely smooth. At least until now, these iron pagodas have not been used in any battle.

But I didn't expect to use it this time. It seems that this battle will be very difficult.

But in a flash, Li Mu thought of another thing, that is, Subotai told himself the whole thing, could it be...

There was a kind of longing in Li Mu's eyes, which was Li Mu's never-forgotten feeling for the heavy cavalry, but Subotai immediately understood Li Mu's meaning.

But he smiled and shook his head.

"Battle, I know you yearn for the Iron Buddha, but it is the most elite power in the hands of the Great Khan, and it will not be easily used by others."

"Although you are not asked to wear heavy armor on the battlefield, but you are asked to follow the sweat to clean the battlefield."

"Cleaning the battlefield?" Li Mu was stunned for a moment when he heard this word, but Subotai continued.

"That's right, although the Tiefutu is powerful, it is not as easy as us to turn around. When the time comes to disrupt the formation of those barbarians, that is when your Chimu army will exert its strength."

Having said that, Subotai stood up, walked to Li Mu and patted Li Mu on the shoulder.

"Bartelle, this is the opportunity specially given to you by the Great Khan. Don't waste it. At least let everyone see what you are capable of."

Subotai said with a little deep meaning, Li Mu also realized that such finishing work was actually a stepping stone for him by Batu. It seems that in the near future, his position as a thousand households will be raised.

But all of this has nothing to do with Li Mu. Now Li Mu only cares about how to fight the battle, and wants to see how the Yuan army won the battle.

Coming out of the tent at Subutai, Li Mu returned to his camp and ordered his men to take a good rest, and this day passed without incident. Sometimes he had to retreat, and there were no waves at all.

In the evening, Li Mu and a few soldiers went to the front, checked the structure of the bridge carefully, and then came back to plan the attack tomorrow night.

On the evening of the next day, when Li Mu and the others were wiping their weapons to prepare for the battle in the night, they saw the army on one side of the camp heading towards the other side.

That was Subotai, the army led by Bai Daer, and it seemed that they had been ready for a long time, and they were heading towards the swamp in the lower reaches of the river.

They were heading there silently at this moment, but Li Mu knew that this was the prelude to the battle. These people went to the swamp where the coalition forces defended the least, obviously wanting to pass through the Sayo River from there, and at the same time Bian also began to fight to seize the bridge, so back and forth, two-pronged approach, if the coalition army lost its position in the dark night, the Yuan army's victory would be within easy reach.
