Chapter 1585: Two Surrounded, Two Missing, Escape in Sight
"Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Dong Wenyong learned that there were minefields in the north and west, and that out of the 20,000 people who went down the mountain, only 2,000 escaped. He was so scared that he immediately knelt down and apologized.

Before this, he had only heard people say that Su Mingzhe could set up a minefield with extremely high lethality.

However, he had no idea what was so powerful about this minefield.

Now, when the two teams of 10,000 people came down the mountain, 90% of them were gone in an instant.

Only then did he realize how dangerous the minefield laid by Su Mingzhe was.

"Yancai, don't blame yourself. The southerners not only have sharp firearms, but also have many tricks. Just think more carefully in the future!"

Kublai Khan still valued the strategist Dong Wenyong very much.

After comforting Dong Wenyong, Kublai Khan looked at everyone again and asked with a warm expression:
"Everyone, there is only one way now. Who is willing to lead the troops into battle?"

……

"Report, Brother, the White River has been cut off!"

Wu Dunru rushed over excitedly and reported the good news to Su Mingzhe.

Yanshan Mountain is a large area, with not only rivers flowing through it, but also a large amount of them.

Therefore, this place cannot be said to be a real Jedi.

Unless someone cuts off the river.

That’s what Su Mingzhe did.

Upon learning that Wu Dunru had cut off the Baihe River, he waved his hand and asked him to retreat, then smiled at Liu Bingzhong and said:
"Bingzhong, now is the time to be completely safe. I believe Kublai Khan will soon send people to charge the battle line. I leave this place to you!"

"I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

After Liu Bingzhong confirmed that Su Mingzhe wanted to keep Kublai Khan's 500,000 troops, he began to rack his brains to help find a solution.

After thinking about it for half the night, he finally came up with a good idea - 'Besieged on all sides'.

Su Mingzhe didn't want to go through so much trouble. After all, this plan was too time-consuming.

However, it was rare for Liu Bingzhong to offer advice, and Su Mingzhe didn't want to remain silent, so he let him take charge of the matter.

Liu Bingzhong received the order and went to make arrangements excitedly.

……

The weather is getting hotter.

After Cha Bi became pregnant, she liked to sit in the corridor with her belly sticking out to enjoy the cool air. When she saw Su Mingzhe returning home, she quickly asked the maid to help her stand up and salute:

"My Lord, Jin An."

"If you are physically unable to do so, then don't perform the salute."

Su Mingzhe put his arm around the woman's soft waist, waved his hand to dismiss the maid, and then sat down on the couch with his arms around the woman.

When the maid left, she did not forget to lower the wind-blocking curtain in the corridor.

"Your Majesty..."

If she saw the man's eyes moving back and forth over her body, she would know what he was going to do, and she could only bend down and ask the man to help her undress.

She is now bulky and needs maids to help her put on and take off her Tang-style palace skirt.

Su Mingzhe followed the principle of doing it himself and having enough food and clothing, and soon he skinned the woman like a lamb.

I don’t know why, even though Cha Biming was pregnant with Su Mingzhe’s child, every time Su Mingzhe touched her, he felt a sense of pleasure as if he had done something bad.

Especially during the month when Kublai Khan led his army to approach Dadu, Su Mingzhe became more interested in Chabi.

Even though he couldn't have a good time every time, Su Mingzhe was willing to spend some time with Cha Bi.

Not long after.

Cha Bi was exhausted, so he called two maids to come in and replace him.

The love is over.

Su Mingzhe lay there lazily and began to think about a question: He didn't know whether Kublai Khan would surrender after being left with no other options.

If Kublai Khan had learned from the Overlord and preferred death to surrender, he would have lost a lot of fun in the future.

……

In the Yanshan military camp.

Listening to the "song of the grassland" coming from the foot of the mountain, Kublai Khan took another look at the half of Wulianghetai's body that was left. His eyes were dull, and he didn't know whether he was frightened or scared.

No one could have imagined that Wulianghetai, who was standing under a large banner a mile away from the southern barbarian army and supervising the battle, was killed in an instant.

This time it’s Wulianghetai, who will it be next time?
Especially Kublai Khan, he thought, if he had just gotten carried away and left the camp to supervise the battle, he would be the one whose body was broken into two pieces!
Just as everyone was silent, the five or six-year-old Zhen Jin spoke again to persuade:
"Father, this is the power of the Grand General Cannon. I've said before that the Grand General Cannon can fire straight at a distance of 800 steps and high at a distance of 1,200 steps... It is so powerful that my physical body cannot withstand it..."

"Are you trying to persuade him to surrender again?"

Kublai Khan came back to his senses and looked at his youngest son with lifeless eyes, with an indescribable meaning in his eyes.

Thinking back to a month ago, he was still full of vigor and led an army of 500,000 southwards, vowing to take back everything he had lost.

As a result, just one month later, he became a stray dog ​​again.

"Not bad!"

Zhenjin looked at his father without hesitation, clasped his fists and continued to speak:
"Father, it's already impossible to do anything about it. Why force it?"

"What a thing that cannot be done!"

Kublai Khan had never felt so tired. He was just in his thirties. He suddenly turned around with a hunched back and waved his hand for everyone to leave.

Whether to surrender, escape, or fight to the death, Kublai Khan needs to think carefully before making a decision.

After all, this not only concerns his dignity, but also the life and death of 500,000 troops.

……

Turn around.

Su Mingzhe returned to the foot of the mountain and looked at the dense flags and smoke from cooking fires. He immediately curled his lips and smiled softly:
"Kublai Khan has a good attitude. He is willing to take everyone to eat barbecue. It seems that today he will either lead the army to break through or fight to the death!"

Liu Bingzhong asked for instructions:
"Your Majesty, should we increase our forces in the north and west?"

Su Mingzhe did indeed bury a lot of mines in the north and west of Yanshan Mountain, and also deployed 10,000 musketeers.

However, it is hard to say how many enemies these mines and muskets can kill.

If you are lucky, you can kill hundreds of thousands of people. If you are unlucky, you may only cause tens of thousands of casualties to the other side.

In Liu Bingzhong's opinion, more troops needed to be added to the north and west to prevent Kublai Khan from leading his army to break through the defense line and escape.

"It doesn't matter! I just want him to escape to the west and north!"

Su Mingzhe knows one thing very well: a cornered dog will eventually jump over the wall.

What's more, Kublai Khan is not a dog. If he is pushed into a corner, he will fight to the death, and the 100,000 soldiers under his command will probably suffer heavy casualties!

At night.

As Su Mingzhe expected, Kublai Khan and his generals broke out from the north and west respectively.

The minefield killed 70,000 to 80,000 Tatars, and the musketeers killed 30,000 to 40,000. The army that followed behind captured more than 100,000 Tatars who had no time to escape.

In the end, Kublai Khan fled in panic with only an army of more than 200,000.

After the army had rested for a while, Su Mingzhe asked Liu Bingzhong to deal with the prisoners, and he personally led 50,000 cavalry to pursue the enemy.

The two sides chased each other all the way and arrived at Taihang Mountains.

……

The Taihang Mountains separate Jinzhong from the Central Plains.

If you want to pass through, you must pass through three checkpoints: Huguan, Tianjingguan, and Jingxingguan.

After fleeing several times, Kublai Khan finally chose to break out at Jingxing Pass:

"Pass the order down. Don't rest tonight. Charge forward. That's Datong Road!"

The army had been fleeing for three days and three nights and was already hungry and tired, but no one dared to be careless.

Because Su Mingzhe was following behind with a large army.

It was also during these three days of pursuit that Kublai Khan's army of more than 200,000 was repeatedly reduced in number, and now it is less than 200,000.

……

It was naturally hard for Kublai Khan to escape with his large army.

However, it was not easy for Su Mingzhe to lead the army in pursuit.

In order to swallow up these 500,000 troops, Su Mingzhe made several preparations.

After analyzing Kublai Khan's escape route, Su Mingzhe arranged a number of checkpoints along the way.

It was this constant interception and harassment that forced Kublai Khan to divide his troops again and again to buy time for the army to escape.

Now, Jingxing Pass is in sight, which is also the last checkpoint set up by Su Mingzhe.

If Kublai Khan had rushed over, he would have really escaped.
