Han Ji threw his cup and stood up, "Wang Ju took a thousand people to the city for reinforcements, Xue Shu took five hundred archers to prepare for war in the city, and the rest went upstairs with me!" ”

The room full of people immediately moved and went out with helmets on their heads.

The barracks are only a mile away from the city gate, and the sound of fighting has been heard halfway by driving the horse, and the general Ji Duo, who was watching the battle in the city, heard the news and took two steps down from the city tower, bowed his head and said: "Marshal, the Mongolian army is coming, I'm afraid it's going to be the last assault!" This time, the general they dispatched was Tutumu, the younger brother of the great commander Batu, and their military advisor was the former chief Shi Suke of the Liao Palace! ”

"King Liao?!"

Han Ji stopped on the stairs with his sword in his hand and looked back.

"Exactly!" Ji Duo said: "In the past few months, the King of Liao and his subordinates have not shown up, this time Su Ke finally came out, and the last general guessed that it may mean that they have a new strategy!" ”

Han Ji looked at Gu Song and the others behind him, turned around and continued upstairs.

When I arrived at the city, the sound of fighting was very clear, and on the battlefield of ten miles below the city, the neighing of war horses and the smoke of gunpowder rolled, even at night, the moonlight shone below, and there were pools of blood.

Two miles away on the opposite side, there was a dark shadow, and it could be seen that it was a piece of people, but I couldn't estimate how many there were.

"Send someone to find out, how many people have come? And how did you choose this time to raid? Han Ji ordered.

Although the Mongolian army has not lost many men and horses in the past few months, but the battles won are not much to talk about, if Han Ji does not plan to punish them, they will retreat by themselves for another two or three months, and they are in the case of the Zhou army not exhaustively chasing and catching up. There is no reason to insist on going their own way, at this time they launched a surprise attack, and there are people from the King of Liao, I am afraid that it will be inseparable from the King of Liao.

The spies quickly went out, and the shadows of the lights swept into the opposing camp from the left flank like phantoms.

Gu Song and Dong Slow took people around the city tower and came back, and said: "Two generals have been sacrificed, and more than 200 soldiers have been sacrificed, do you want to send General Wu and them down to give the Mongolian army a head-on blow, and by the way, capture Tutumu alive?" ”

The three thousand dead soldiers have been renamed the Fire Phoenix Battalion, but except for a few of them. But others don't know where they come from. If Wu Dongping goes down with the people of the Fire Phoenix Camp. It was not impossible to capture Tutumu alive. But Han Ji's purpose in coming was to capture the commander of the Mongolian army and the king of Liao alive, and use the power of the Fire Phoenix Order to get a small leader.

"Hold it for now." Han Ji raised his hand: "Su Ke has come out, and the King of Liao will not be far away." In recent years, the Central Plains has blocked Yanmen Pass. The Mongol king was not familiar with the situation in the Central Plains. He dared to use troops against Da Zhou. One is to believe in King Zheng's provocation, and the other is because there is King Liao on the side of the staff. As long as the king of Liao is caught, the king of Mongolia will have the courage to do so. I won't go wild at this time anymore. ”

It is unrealistic to catch the Mongol king, after all, just as they don't know the Central Plains, the people of the Central Plains don't know the desert outside the Guanwai, if they don't have long-term preparations, even if they catch their king, they can't be destroyed. Similarly, there are other countries on the other side of the desert, Da Zhou's hands and feet can't stretch so long, he can't control a desert and grassland, and there is nothing wrong with protecting his family and defending the country, but excessive war is meaningless.

Gu Song and the others had been fighting with Han Ji for a few months, and they had already mastered his thinking very accurately, so they stopped making a sound, and stood quietly while waiting for the spies to return.

The battle situation below has reached a state where it is difficult to separate, Han Ji suddenly raised his hand and summoned the herald: "Mingjin retreats!" ”

The sound of cymbals on the city is as urgent as raindrops, the Zhou army under the city has withdrawn and retreated when they hear the sound, the Mongolian army chases backwards, the city gate is opened, the soldiers pour into the door, and the archers on the city fire together, and the Mongolian army that chased to the city immediately reined in and turned back.

Han Ji paused in the city for a moment, and the general who had returned to the camp had already walked up, with blood stains on his shoulders and neck, and several lieutenant generals behind him were also colored.

"Marshal, the Mongolian army has used their elite strength this time, and even the war horses have never seen a good horse, and the last general is not talented, and they are defeated!"

He knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty.

Han Ji raised his hand to call him up and said, "What other information have you found?" ”

"Their strength this time should be no less than 20,000, and there are only about 1,000 people who have just come out of the battle, and the general will think that the group of people who have just attacked seems to be spying on our reaction! And they seem to have deliberately leaked the news of Su Ke's departure from the camp. ”

"Intentional leaks?" Han Ji frowned, "How can you see it!" ”

"When the last general led the army to the front of the formation, Su Keyuan was behind Tutumu, and there was no place for him to intervene in such a battle, but he not only interjected, but also reported his origin, which is already very suspicious!"

Han Ji's brows furrowed deeply.

Gu Song said: "It sounds like this, they seem to be cheating!" ”

Han Ji turned his head to look at him: "What about your father?" ”

"This should be in the military account." Gu Song thought about it and answered.

Han Ji stepped up: "Go find the military division!" ”

Shen Mi and Gu Zhicheng were pushing the sand table in the house, and when they heard that Han Ji had come in, they both straightened up and said, "How is the city?" I heard that the people of the King of Liao are out of battle? ”

"Exactly." Han Ji sat down beside the sand table and said, "The news brought back from the front just now, Su Ke seems to have premeditated, if this is the case, there is probably some kind of trap there." But judging from the current situation, there is very little power they can use, what does Su Ke want to show when he comes out? ”

Gu Zhicheng and Shen Mi glanced at each other and said, "When we pushed the sand table just now, we also found a problem. About ten miles back from where the Mongols were stationed was the Black Rock Cliff, which would have been a wonderful place for the Mongols to set up an ambush. If Su Ke deliberately revealed his identity, then could it be that their purpose was to take advantage of our army's desire to capture the King of Liao and lead us to the Black Stone Cliff? ”

"I don't rule out the possibility of this." Shen Mi said, "However, this kind of trap that a clear-eyed person will pay attention to at a glance may not be their real purpose." Although the King of Liao is stupid, this Su Ke beside him is extremely powerful, if he hadn't been in the Liao Wang's Mansion back then, King Zheng would have already acted with the King of Liao, since he is so fanfare, there must be a deeper purpose. ”

"I think so too." Han Ji said: "The Mongolian army has been fighting for the past few months, and they haven't even closed the door, and they won't have much patience, since the King of Liao has defected to the past, if he doesn't have some sincerity, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get mixed up in Eastern Liao, so this time the King of Liao is probably forced by the situation and has to offer advice." And what strategies will he be able to contribute? ”

He rubbed his chin and stared at the position of the marker on the sand table. (To be continued......)
