Listening to the words of the boss, the clerk hurriedly shook his head, "Father, you are a warrior in the clan, and a wise elder, under the leadership of the lord, there is no city that our warriors cannot attack, and there is no enemy that cannot be defeated, but I think that it is difficult now, we don't necessarily have to continue to stay in Suzhou, we can attack other cities......"

The Tartar commander waved his hand, "You, I still don't understand, if we retreat, or change to other cities, what do you think these Han soldiers under our command will think?" Will they honestly follow our orders? When the time comes, we don't need those Song troops to fight, and the first to stab us is these Han troops under our command to sign the army. These people, since they can rebel against the Song army because they are besieged by us, they can also rebel against our Dayuan, so I can't retreat, and I don't dare to retreat. Only by using Suzhou City to drain and dry up these Han troops can we leave here calmly. ”

Then the Tartar boss came to the table and handed a letter to the clerk, "No, you take this letter and send it to me quickly, the matter in this letter is extremely important, I don't worry about handing it over to others, you can run for me once!" ”

The clerk first took the letter, always feeling that his father seemed to have something to hide from him, but after thinking about the current situation, although the situation was critical, it was not yet the time when it was necessary for them to fight to the death, so he nodded, took the letter into his arms, kowtowed to his father, and turned to the account.

Watching the clerk disappear into the crowd, the Tartar boss sat back in his chair, and at this moment he leaned back in this chair, and for now, he had no worries. As he just said, he is an undefeated general in the clan and the god of war in the clan, but even if he is brave and good at fighting, there are enemies in the court.

Now that his son was sent back to the rear by him, he could give it a go, and with the commander's orders, the entire Tartar army outside Suzhou began to be mobilized in an orderly manner, and the Han army and the Yuan army began to prepare for the siege.

Not far from the southern city wall of Suzhou, Wu Dutou and Xu Xuan looked at the Tartar camp in the distance, only to see the originally quiet military camp, but at this time suddenly moved, only to see countless soldiers come out of the camp tent, and the loess of the entire Tartar military camp flew up in an instant.

Seeing this, Wu Dutou spat and said, "Grandma, these guys really won't let us rest, come on, come on, get the equipment ready for me!" ”

After instructing everyone, as soon as he turned around, he saw Xu Xuan looking into the distance with a heavy face, frowning tightly, thinking that Xu Xuanchu had gone to the battlefield, and when he saw that the Tartars were nervous, he comforted him, "Haha, Brother Xu, don't be nervous, although the Tartars have just attacked the city wall, but with your new force to join, and the equipment transferred from above, although it will be more difficult to fight, it will not be a problem to hold on." ”

Listening to Wudutou's words, Xu Xuan shook his head, "Dutou, although Xu Xuan is only a Langzhong, he can be regarded as having seen blood, just some barbarians, what is there to be afraid of?" What I just thought about was that there are so many cities in the south, although they are not as rich as Suzhou City, but at least they are easier to attack than Suzhou City, right? But why did the Tartars leave those cities and not fight, and had to attack our Suzhou City? ”

Listening to Xu Xuan's question, seeing that the Tartar army on the opposite side had to prepare for a while to attack the city, and there was nothing to do on his side, Wudu Tou laughed and explained to Xu Xuan, "Actually, it's very simple, the Tartars like gold, silver, jewelry, and women the most, our Suzhou City has a population of 100,000, and there are countless women's wealth. Secondly, the fall of Suzhou is a shock to the imperial court, if they let go of Suzhou City to attack other cities, if we attack the grain road behind our backs, it will be enough for them to drink a pot. ”

Although what Wudutou said is quite reasonable, Xu Xuan still shook his head, although Wudutou's words make sense, they are also correct at the battle level, but they are extremely risky in terms of strategy, "No, I think there must be something on the Tartar side, if they are afraid that we will harass them, they can leave a cavalry to watch us, the army can continue to move south, and the Tartars will attack our hinterland, that is, they will occupy a surprise and fast, and the longer they spend with us, the more unfavorable it will be for them." ”

Xu Xuan paced a few steps on the city wall, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly looked back at Wudutou, "Dutou, you said that they attacked Suzhou to the death, will there be a problem on their side." For example, "

"Grain and grass!" Hearing Xu Xuan's words, Wudu Tou also suddenly reflected, and said at the same time as Xu Xuan.

Wu Dutou and Xu Xuan glanced at each other, and Wu Dutou patted Xu Xuan's shoulder, "It's still a scholar's brain,"

He said, beckoning his subordinates, "I'll go to the military master, who else, you can take it for me here, oh, don't mess with the people brought by Dr. Xu, let Dr. Xu and Wu Fugui watch it."

After speaking, Wudu Tou didn't pay attention to everyone, but he didn't look back towards the city wall where the high army lord was, he was anxious to tell the military lord what he and Xu Xuan guessed, if the city can seize this opportunity, don't say that Suzhou City is relieved, that is, these Tartars will be left here, I'm afraid it is possible to fight!

In the preparation before the attack of the Tartar army, as well as the urgent preparation of the Suzhou city defense army, in the north of Suzhou more than 150 miles, a team of cavalry wearing light armor, holding a longbow and short blade, is along the ruts on the road, chasing a group of heavy soldiers with the banner of the Great Yuan, the grain and grass of the carriage are inserted with a few scattered feather arrows, only to see the Tartar army that was originally arrogant, at this time everyone is injured, looking at the Song cavalry behind with a frightened expression, it is a little embarrassed

"My lord, in my opinion, we might as well take advantage of this opportunity to directly kill these people, and if the food can't be taken away, it will be burned directly, why bother so much, and drive these people into the ambush circle of the infantry army?" The light cavalry of the Song army behind the Tartar asked the general in front of him a little boredly.

The general led everyone to chase the baggage convoy in front of him, and when he heard the soldiers around him say this, the horse whip in his hand lightly whipped this guy angrily, "Mouthy, as long as we follow the order, why do you act like this, the military lord naturally has his plans,"

Although he scolded the soldier in his mouth, the baggage army that drove away the Tartars for several days also made them tired, but now that the baggage team was about to reach the place where the infantry army had laid an ambush in advance, his soldiers accelerated the speed of driving the other party. When he saw that the carriages were driven away by his brethren in the foot, he jumped off the horse, and for most of the day he was bumped on horseback, and even the iron man could not stand it, so he took advantage of this gap to let his soldiers rest for a while.

Although tired these days, these Song soldiers are extremely satisfied in their hearts, because it is they, the cavalry of the Song army, who robbed the grain and grass protected by the heavy Tartar army countless times, although the Tartars later strengthened the protection of the heavy army, but these cavalry are different from the past, often not close to the baggage team, they use the divine arm bow to shoot at the Tartar cavalry, and when the Tartar cavalry chased these cavalry, another Song army ran out of nowhere and robbed the baggage team, which made the Tartar cavalry tired to cope, Gradually, they saw the Tartar cavalry fleeing, and now they can double the number of people, so they dare to press the Tartar cavalry to fight, in recent days, when the number is less than the Tartar cavalry, they can also fight equally, and after many days of fierce battles, the Tartar cavalry actually retreated when they saw them. How could they, the cavalry of the Song Army, not be happy with this slow progress?
