Guan Wuyuan, who has always been not angry and majestic, has not had a good time recently, and it is simply difficult to sit still!

Originally, after he led the troops to support Jiezhou City, he became a great savior in the eyes of the officials and people of Jiezhou City, coupled with the extremely unbearable performance of the Mongolian coalition army in the early days of the siege, they were all easily repelled by Guan Wuyuan, which made Guan Wuyuan's prestige in Jiezhou City more and more high, and he became the hero of the world and the reincarnation of Wuqu Xing in the eyes of the officials and people of Jiezhou City, and everyone did their best to praise Guan Wuyuan.

However, since the Mongol coalition army enabled the Han army to attack the city, Guan Wuyuan's good days have come to an end!

The offensive of the Han army was not as fierce as the Mongol coalition army, and the direct threat to the city of Jiezhou was not great, but it was more planned, and it was not rushed to the city wall, but methodically cleared the siege obstacles while maintaining the pressure on the defenders of the city, compared to the chaos of the Mongol coalition army when attacking the city, this is obviously the right way!

It stands to reason that Guan Wuyuan should do his best to stop it at this time, but because Zhao Junchen had a clear order before this, asking Guan Wuyuan to secretly release water when the Han army surrendered to attack the city, Guan Wuyuan naturally did not dare to disobey Zhao Junchen's order, so he did not go all out to stop the Han people from surrendering the army.

In the end, it only took two or three days for the Han people to surrender their army, and the obstacles outside Jiezhou City were cleared and the moat was filled! In this way, the defense capability of Jiezhou City was suddenly reduced a lot, and when the Mongol coalition army attacked the city with all its might, the defenders of Jiezhou would also have to bear more pressure and casualties!

In this way, Guan Wuyuan naturally suffered a lot of pressure, not only the impression of the officials and people of Jiezhou City on Guan Wuyuan had changed greatly, thinking that Guan Wuyuan was a mediocre general who did nothing, and even the soldiers of the forbidden army under Guan Wuyuan had many complaints.

Guan Wuyuan himself is also a person who is afraid of death, and after seeing the obstacles and moats outside the city fail, he is naturally frightened, coupled with the pressure from all sides, Guan Wuyuan has been restless, and has been insomnia for two or three days in a row.

In the past few days, Guan Wuyuan has been looking forward to Zhao Junchen leading the army to come to aid in time as planned, so Guan Wuyuan's various pressures and worries will naturally be solved, but it is a pity that the Mongolian coalition army is about to attack the city with all their strength without worries, but the reinforcements promised by Zhao Junchen are still missing.

This gave Guan Wuyuan a feeling that he had become an outcast.

In the early morning of this day, Guan Wuyuan knew that the Mongolian coalition army was about to attack the city on a large scale, so he naturally did not dare to slack off, and appeared on the city wall as soon as it was dawn to observe the actions of the Mongolian coalition army outside the city!

However, what Guan Wuyuan didn't expect was that the obstacles and moats outside Jiezhou City had obviously been cleared, but the main army of the Mongolian coalition army had not moved for a long time, and it was not as urgent as expected to attack the city with all its might!

Then, Guan Wuyuan observed the city wall for nearly an hour, but the Mongol coalition army was still silent!

Just when Guan Wuyuan gradually felt impatient, a scene that made him stunned appeared!

The Mongol coalition army finally made a move, and one after another of cavalry began to assemble, and then they rushed in the direction of the north, leaving tens of thousands of horses one after another!

After seeing this scene, Guan Wuyuan only felt incredible!

"Could it be that the Mongols are about to retreat?"

Guan Wuyuan muttered to himself.

On the side, Guan Wuyuan's deputy general Zhang Chengxun frowned and shook his head: "It's not like a retreat, but like a division of troops to attack somewhere in the north...... In that direction, it seems to be the Acropolis of Zhenning? Hasn't it already fallen there? ”

And just when Guan Wuyuan and Zhang Chengxun were secretly puzzled, the Mongolian camp outside the city also moved again, and a large number of Mongolian troops began to assemble outside Jiezhou City, putting on a siege posture.

After seeing this scene, Guan Wuyuan and Zhang Chengxun knew that the Mongolian coalition army was finally going to officially attack the city, and they didn't care about guessing what happened to the Mongolian coalition army, so they hurriedly commanded the defense of the city.

In any case, after the Mongol coalition army left 10,000 horses, the pressure on Jiezhou City was relatively small!

*

The reason why the Mongol coalition suddenly divided its troops to the north has to start an hour ago!

But he said that in the early morning of this day, when it was still dark, Bagan sent a scout horse out of the camp again!

Because He Zhang repeatedly intercepted and killed the Mongolian scouts yesterday, the number of scouts sent by Bagen this time was much larger, and the scouts were not only to explore the movements of the surrounding Han army, but also to track the whereabouts of He Zhang's army that attacked the Mongolian camp last night!

Bagen can't wait to take revenge on He Zhang's humiliation of the Mongol coalition army!

Then, it was only half an hour before the horses came out of the camp, and the news soon came back that a large number of Mongol corpses had been found in the direction east of the Mongolian camp, adding up to more than 200 corpses - this is exactly the number of horses that the Mongol coalition army had intercepted and killed yesterday!

He Zhang had sent some of the heads of the Mongolian tanma to the Mongolian camp last night, so Bagen didn't expect these tanma to still be alive, but some abnormal conditions of the carcasses of these tanma attracted Bagen's attention!

That is, all the corpses of these detectives are left with their underwear, and all their robes have been stripped away!

After He Zhang killed the Mongolian Tanma, why did he deliberately take away the Mongolian Tanma's robe?

There is only one explanation, and that is that He Zhang wanted to use the robes of these Mongol warriors to disguise the Han army under his command as a Mongol army, and then use it to achieve some kind of goal!

After thinking of this, Bagan was immediately vigilant!

However, before Bagen could figure out where He Zhang's target was, the scouts once again came with a thunderbolt-like news - the Acropolis of Zhenning was lost!

After learning the news, Bagan only felt that the world was spinning for a moment!

You know, Bagen has hoarded most of the grain and grass of the Mongolian coalition army in the Zhenning Acropolis!

Now that the Acropolis of Zhenning has been lost, and the Mongol coalition army has lost most of its grain and grass, how can they continue to fight?

Not to mention that there are still a large number of ordnance and military horses in the Zhenning Acropolis!

Then, Bagan finally knew He Zhang's goal - that was the Zhenning Acropolis!

Bagan even thinks he has found the reason for the loss of the Acropolis of Zhenning! That is, He Zhang's army disguised itself as a Mongolian warrior and managed to hide from the Mongol defenders of the Zhenning Acropolis, which eventually caused the failure of the Zhenning Acropolis!

In a way, Bagen's guess was not wrong, He Zhang did break through the Zhenning Acropolis with the help of camouflage, but the time He Zhang captured the Zhenning Acropolis was before the sneak attack on the Mongolian camp!

Under Zhao Junchen's calculations, he deliberately let the Mongolian Tanma find these corpses that had been stripped of their battle robes, just to further mislead Bagen's judgment and make Bagen mistakenly think that He Zhang's means of attacking the Zhenning Acropolis were just opportunistic, and He Zhang's own strength was still very weak!

Obviously, Zhao Junchen's calculation succeeded!

After thinking about this, Bagen felt humiliated by He Zhang, and naturally he was furious!

Originally, I thought that the appearance of He Zhang was not a big problem, but who would have thought that He Zhang would actually break through the only fulcrum and back road of the Mongolian coalition army in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and also took away most of the grain and grass of the Mongolian coalition army?

Under the anger, Bagen was eager to cut He Zhang's thousands of knives to vent his hatred, and immediately sent 10,000 cavalry to the Zhenning Acropolis, vowing to exterminate He Zhang's army in the shortest possible time!

Then, there was the scene that Guan Wuyuan saw!

*

At the same time, the main force of the border army under Zhao Junchen had taken refuge in a valley in the eastern part of Gongchang Mansion.

Last night, not only did He Zhang and the cavalry go back and forth and were extremely lucky, but Zhao Junchen and the main force of the border army also marched overnight, and there was no chance to rest at all, and they were busy all night.

In order to show the enemy's weak plan, the main force of the border army naturally could not be discovered by the Mongolian coalition army, so Zhao Junchen also divided the main force of the border army into two parts, and a small part of the troops with logistics as the main force left Gongchang Mansion along the original road, and by the way, the main force of the border army entered Gongchang Mansion The traces of the march, as the main combat force, were hidden and hid in the blind corner of the Mongolian coalition army's field of vision.

Fortunately, Gongchang Mansion has a vast area, it is one of the largest state capitals of the Ming Dynasty, and the interior is also complex terrain, full of hills and ravines, although Zhao Junchen's border army is huge, there are as many as 50,000 people, but it is not difficult to hide!

When the news of the Mongolian coalition army's division of troops to attack the Zhenning Acropolis reached Zhao Junchen, Zhao Junchen, who was full of exhaustion, couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "It seems that the plan was successful, and the Mongols were still misled after all, and they did not discover the true strength of our army because of the loss of the Zhenning Acropolis!" Moreover, although this Tianshui Rebellion disrupted our established plan, in some respects it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and it actually divided the Mongolian coalition army into two places...... In this way, as long as He Zhang and them hold on to the Zhenning Acropolis for a few days, and wait until the Tianshui Rebellion subsides, we can divide and break it, and the odds of victory are a few points greater! ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's words, all the civil and military officials present nodded in agreement, and said in unison: "Such a blessing in disguise, God bless my dynasty, God bless Lord Qincha!" ”

The plan to show weakness to the enemy has been regarded as a preliminary success so far, and most of the civil and military officials are relieved and faintly excited, but their voices are all weak and spiritless.

Obviously, after a busy night, everyone was exhausted and stretched to the limit.

In fact, Zhao Junchen, as the person who presides over the overall situation, is more tired than most people!

Everyone present was only busy for a few days and had not slept all night, and Zhao Junchen had not had a good rest since he entered Shaanxi and Gansu, and he was overdrawing his heart and energy almost every day for this war.

At this time, Zhao Junchen only felt that his heart was not even beating, and his trachea was as if he was being held tightly by a hand, and it was difficult to breathe.

However, just like He Zhang last night, Zhao Junchen was reluctant to show fatigue in front of everyone, but after slowly glancing at everyone, he said: "Now that the big thing has been decided, our plan has been a preliminary success, everyone has been busy all night, and they are all fortunate, so hurry up and seize the opportunity to rest now!" In two or three days, I'm afraid we will be busy again, and it will be difficult to rest again! ”
