Zhang Shijie and the others were located about 200 miles northeast of Guo Mo's location, and two days and one night had passed, so it was completely impossible for them to lead an army to catch up.
Fortunately, Guo Jing also said in the military newspaper that Luzhou has already been taken, leaving a thousand "Jingnan Army" stationed is enough, as long as the local law and order can be maintained normally.
Guo Jing was already with Huazheng, leading [-] light cavalry, and chased after him overnight.
They were worried about the safety of these boys, and they didn't want Wo Kuotai to escape back to Zhongdu City.
Let's talk about Zhang Shijie's troops. After watching the Mongolian army on the opposite side kill horses to satisfy their hunger, they actually started to build simple fortifications based on that high hill and using local materials.
"Brother, something is wrong. These Mongols are not going to escape, and they plan to stick to it?"
Keeping an eye on Hu Yande who was on the opposite side, he was the first to notice the movement of the enemy.
Zhang Shijie's idea was to take advantage of the difficulty of the opponent's infantry in marching and the lack of food and grass supply during the continuous march of the Mongols, and to attack the opponent again when they were exhausted.
But the current situation is completely beyond his imagination.
The Mongols began building fortifications, and there seemed to be only a few thousand infantry in sight, and no more cavalry.
"It's weird, big brother, they didn't want to block us with infantry, and then let the cavalry circle around to surround us, right?"
Young generals who are new to the battlefield like to compare and analyze the situation in front of them with what they have learned in the book.
"I'm not sure. Send out all the scouts, bypass these infantry, and see where the cavalry went?"
At this time, the sun had risen so high, and the guards had been tossing all night, even riding a horse would inevitably feel a little sleepy.
Zhang Shijie left behind the necessary security personnel, and the others went to the nearby woods to rest for a while.
According to his judgment, it is impossible for the thousands of Mongolian infantry on the opposite side to rush out unless they want to seek death.
The brigade on Zhang Shijie's side went into the forest to rest, and the Mongolian army on the opposite side, after the simple construction was completed, many people lay on the ground directly and fell asleep.
This puzzled Hu Yande who was watching from a distance.
"Eldest brother, what is going on with these boys? Are there still people sleeping on the battlefield?"
The behavior of the Mongolian soldiers is not pretending.
Fighting all day, going crazy for most of the night, and fleeing from midnight to now, many people are gritting their back molars and holding on there.
Now, I have some food in my stomach, and I heard that powerful reinforcements will arrive soon.
Sitting down to rest, the sun in May shone warmly, and many people fell asleep unconsciously.
But the more the other party was like this, the more strange Zhang Shijie felt, and he asked the vigilant sergeants to be vigilant, and he refused to act rashly until he got the exact news from the scouts.
A strange scene appeared on the battlefield. The two sides were two miles apart, one was resting and the other was sleeping. They watched the sun rise from the east to the top of their heads, and then turned west.
Finally, a team of 20 scouts returned from the north.
"Report to General Zhang, the last general led his men to follow behind the Mongolian cavalry army. After they left, they marched northward at a leisurely pace. After thirty miles, they still did not change direction."
Thirty miles, sixty miles every time you come and go, what kind of tricks is Wo Kuotai playing?
Zhang Shijie's brain was not enough, he seemed to have caught something, and he seemed even more confused.
After the sun had completely set, the second team of 30 scouts came back.
"Report to General Zhang, the last general led the team to stare at the Mongolian army, and left for fifty miles. During the period, they looted several villages and towns, and after replenishing a large amount of food and supplies, they continued to go north."
"Oops, I was fooled, the whole army is assembled—"
Now, Zhang Shijie finally understood.
It turned out that the thousands of Mongolian infantry in front of him had been regarded as abandoned by Wo Kuotai and let them drag him here, but Wo Kuotai led the Mongolian cavalry army and left.
Zhang Shijie regretted this sudden loss.
However, if you want to pursue Wo Kuotai now, you have no chance to fight.
First of all, I was delayed for a day, and the scouts followed him for fifty miles. Now that the other party has gone out for at least eighty miles, how can I chase him?
Besides, the opponent's cavalry army is obviously more than their own, and they have been supplemented with food and grass, so it is easy to attack and defend.
If you really catch up, with more than 4000 people, you may not be able to get any cheap.
"Brother, what should we do now?"
After hearing the scout's report, the two little brothers also understood that it was a waste of a day to co-operate with everyone.
This can't be blamed on them. After all, it's because of their lack of experience. The key is that they may not be able to do the same thing even if they want to break their heads.
Abandoning thousands of robes at once?It's really not something ordinary people can do.
"Hmph, since Wo Kuotai is a big fish, we must have some soup, right? Our guards have paid for all these thousands of infantry."
"Wu Nantian, I order you to lead a thousand cavalry troops to detour from the left, shoot three salvos and throw guns three times, and then attack—"
"promise--"
"Hu Yande, I order you to lead a thousand cavalry troops, turn around from the right side, and after the same three rounds of volley and three rounds of spear throwing, then launch an impact—"
"promise--"
"All the rest, following Ben will crush them from the front—"
After being left here for a day, Zhang Shijie felt a little annoyed when he suddenly realized that there were so many of them, and he was being teased alive by the other party.
The young man is full of blood. It stands to reason that in the current situation, if he tells the truth to the other party, even if it cannot make the other party surrender, at least it can play a role in disturbing the morale of the army.
However, Zhang Shijie selectively "forgot".
Only with the blood of more enemies can an invincible iron army be cast.
On a night in May, there was no wind or moon, under the faint starlight, there were only the crisp hooves of war horses, and the occasional collision of sabers and armor leaves.
About 150 steps away from the Mongols' position, Zhang Shijie waved his hand and told the more than 2000 guards behind him to stop. He had to wait for the two juniors on the left and right to turn around.
In a short time, the Huyande department on the right was the first to hear the sound of bowstrings, and then the Wunan Tianbu on the left also began to open their bows and release arrows.
There was a sudden commotion on the Mongols' positions.
"Hurry up, the people of Song Dynasty launched an attack, on the left and right flanks, quickly fight back with bows and arrows—"
Chief Wan Li Jianwan, who took office just this morning, hastily yelled loudly to remind some of the rioting sergeants.
In the afternoon, most people wake up.
After a good night's sleep, I was no longer sleepy, and my physical strength recovered a bit, but I was even more hungry.
More than 3000 hungry soldiers crowded together, and no matter how far away they were, they could hear the sound of "cuckoo" one after another.
Wu Nantian and Hu Yande launched arrow attacks on the left and right sides almost at the same time. More than 3000 people crowded together, and the slope of Gaogang was not too steep, so there was no need to aim at all.
Hundreds of Mongolian soldiers were hit by arrows after the first round of arrows. Especially in this situation of being flanked by people from left to right, without a good cover, they inevitably felt a little flustered.
At this moment, the second wave of arrow rain arrived on the left and right sides.
"Puff, puff—ah, ah—"
The sound of the arrow piercing into the flesh, and the continuous screams of the arrows deeply shocked the Mongolian army. They didn't know when or where an arrow would fly out, killing themselves.
"Advance eighty steps, bow and arrow cover—"
Seeing that the two juniors had successfully attracted the Mongolian army on the opposite side, Zhang Shijie finally came up with more than [-] people.
The arrows poured down on the Mongols' positions as if they didn't need money, and just after shooting a round, they heard Huyande's broken gong in the distance.
"Throw the gun and prepare, shoot—"
The three sides were attacked at the same time, and the Mongolian army was completely stunned. They didn't know how to dodge or where to attack.
On the left and right sides, there were three rounds of bows and arrows and three rounds of throwing guns, while Zhang Shijie led more than two thousand and five hundred people in the front, but they kept firing bows and arrows.
"Brothers, let these Mongolian soft-legged shrimps tremble under your saber—"
Hu Yande's shout was also the signal for all the guards to stop shooting arrows.
All of them held a shining saber in their hands, almost maintaining the same angle, and rushed towards the opponent's position with their horses.
When the guards encircled on three sides and rushed to Gaogang, there were less than 2000 soldiers alive in the Mongolian position, and there were many wounded.
This is a completely one-sided massacre, with a little spirit, lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, or taking advantage of the night to flee in a hurry from the gap in the north.
More than 500 guards, including more than 500 horses, charged back and forth on the Mongol positions several times.
In less than an hour, the battle formation composed of more than 3000 Mongolian infantry could no longer find a living.
The guard army only lost dozens of people, and they were shot by the bows and arrows fired back by the Mongols, or killed by sneak attacks during the charge.
"Withdraw from the position and rest in the woods before—"
It was impossible to clean up the battlefield at night. Fortunately, there was no military force within a radius of tens of miles, so Zhang Shijie dared to rest assured and boldly let the guards rest.
"Hey, big brother, this battle is really not enjoyable. Don't they all say that the Mongolian cavalry is very powerful? It's just that the hundreds of people yesterday are still decent, and the other soldiers are also cowards."
Hu Yande came over shaking his head, ignoring the blood-soaked armor on his body and the smell of blood all over his body.
Compared with yesterday's surprise attack, Zhang Shijie was more satisfied with tonight's result.
The master often said, "The general is planning but not being brave." The number of enemies wiped out twice is the same, but this time his own losses are negligible. This is what Zhang Shijie is concerned about.
Zhang Shijie doesn't care whether he kills happily or not, "Use the smallest price to get the biggest effect," which is also what the master often teaches them.
After several battles, Zhang Shijie discovered that many of the words that the master said casually on weekdays were more effective than many classic sentences in the book.
It's a pity that there are too few opportunities for me to learn from my master.
......
"Guo Jing, let everyone rest for a while?"
Hua Zheng urged the horse to hurry up a few steps, approached Guo Jing's "hissing wind", and said in a low voice.
Guo Jing looked at the sky, then at the messy formation running behind him, and nodded.
"All of the 'Jing Nan Army' are there, dismount and rest for a quarter of an hour, quickly drink some water and eat some dry food—"
Guo Jing's heart was a little heavy. After entering the boundary of Daming Mansion relying on the "hissing wind", he asked his lieutenants Lu Pingsheng and Hua Zheng to take [-] light cavalry and continue on the original route. He made a detour and ran outside the city of Daming Mansion .
Lu Pingsheng is the third leader of the original "Iron Palm Gang" known as "Iron Palm Ruthless".
Since following Guo Mo that year, he has joined the "Dunwu Army", performed well in several battles, and was promoted to the rank of commander of the school lieutenant for his accumulated credit.
When Guo Jing formed the "Jingnan Army", he was specially recruited. Perhaps it was because Guo Jing was born in Jianghu, and there were many masters from various sects in the "Jingnan Army".
Over the past few years, Lu Pingsheng has not only become Guo Jing's right-hand man, but even his iron palm kung fu has made great progress under Guo Jing's guidance.
The current Lu Pingsheng is already the leader of an army capable of leading 5000 people alone, and his martial arts realm has also broken through to the second-rate realm.
It can be said that Lu Pingsheng has been completely reborn, and he can be regarded as comforting Naifu's spirit in heaven. Therefore, he is grateful to Guo Mo and Guo Jing brothers from the bottom of his heart.
Guo Jing's orders were also carried out to the letter. As long as he went to the battlefield with Guo Jing, he was more worried about Guo Jing's safety than Guo Jing's personal guards.
The Mongols did not clean up the tens of thousands of corpses outside the city of Damingfu, and Cui Li's troops who entered the city of Damingfu did not bother to clean up.
The [-] golden soldiers he led walked through the city once, killing the remnants of the Mongols and the defeated generals, and did not go to kill them all. They just confiscated the Mongols' looting proceeds as much as possible.
Of course, it was really snatched from the Mongols, or it was accidentally snatched from the common people, and no one checked it.
When the [-] soldiers were exhausted, Cui Licai led the army and left.
This time he did not go back to Dongping, but went directly to the south to station in Weizhou, which is close to the north bank of the Yellow River.
At the same time, let the Marching Army Book Office write his "great achievements" in Daming Mansion into a military newspaper as soon as possible, and ask Bianliang City for credit.
I saw corpses strewn all over the field outside the city of Daming Mansion, there were even hundreds of vicious dogs running here and there, and birds of prey were circling overhead.
It has been three days since that battle, and the corpses of these dead soldiers are still exposed to the sun, and they can smell blood and even stench no matter how far away they are.
When Guo Jing came back again, he immediately ordered the messengers to inform the follow-up [-] "Jingnan Army" to divert to the Daming Mansion.
While dealing with the tragic battlefield there, so as not to cause a major plague, he directly took over the Daming Mansion.
Since your army of the Kingdom of Jin will not come to protect these people and the city, let them become the subjects and territory of the Song Dynasty.
Yes, this time Guo Mo mobilized [-] troops to go north, not only to trouble Wo Kuotai, but also to grab the territory.
The army of the Kingdom of Jin to the north of the Yellow River was almost completely lost, and the Mongolian army did not have so many troops to occupy these cities. Of course, Guo Mo came to take over the territory without hesitation.
Guo Mo's 100 guards moved slowly, because he not only had [-] troops, but also brought more than [-] officials of all sizes.
Except for a dozen or so of these officials who had experience as county-level officials or state capital left officials, the rest were candidates selected from the imperial examinations in Lin'an, Luoyang, and Chang'an in the past year.
The leader was Liu Kezhuang who was first recommended by Guo Mo. He served as the magistrate in Jiaxing, and then went to the court for training.
A few years have passed, and it is time to come out and stand alone. The key is that there are not many people who Guo Mo can use, especially the young and powerful.
