Chapter 886. Effect.

On this day, while Fang Ru and Zhang Yu'er were discussing countermeasures in the study of Zhao's mansion, under the city of Jiezhou at this time, after the Mongolian coalition army besieged the city of Jiezhou for more than half a month, they finally retreated!
Of course, according to the commander of the Mongolian coalition army, Bagen, this action of the Mongolian coalition army is not to retreat, but to go to the direction of Weishui to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Han army, and wait until the Mongolian coalition army has defeated the main force of the Han border army, and then return to the army to continue to attack Jiezhou City!
But Bagan's statement can only deceive those low-level soldiers who only know how to obey orders and have little knowledge, and most of the high-level generals within the Mongolian coalition army are not fools, but they don't believe it at all.
At this point in the war, the situation is already very obvious - after continuous losses and defeats, it is impossible for the Mongol coalition army to break through the city of Jiezhou! If they continue to attack Jiezhou City, the Mongol coalition army will only be completely annihilated under the heavy encirclement of the Han army!
In fact, this operation of the Mongol coalition army has been a complete failure! The most urgent task of the Mongol coalition forces at present is to escape back to the northern steppe as soon as possible!
In this regard, all the high-ranking generals of the Mongol coalition army are tacitly acknowledged, but no one will say it explicitly, they still need to deceive those stupid cavalry to continue to fight hard, once this kind of thing is clearly said, it is easy to damage morale.
In fact, considering the current predicament of the Mongol coalition army, the generals of the coalition army still looked arrogant on the surface to completely look down on the Han army, but in fact, they were all a little restless in their hearts, and they only felt that the future of the Mongol coalition army was uncertain.
Among the many Mongol generals, Sigmu's mood was relatively calm, because he had betrayed the Mongol alliance and secretly allied with the Han Qincha Zhao Junchen!
Next, he only needs to unite the Han army to exterminate the Dzungar army, and then he can lead his cavalry back to the grassland safely!
In fact, when the Mongol coalition army was retreating, Sigmu was in charge of commanding the Mongol right-wing tribal cavalry to act as a rear army, while Wei Song, a spy of the Han court, and Su He, a traitor to the Mongol coalition, followed behind him.
Looking at the situation of the Mongolian coalition army retreating in a hurry in front of him, Wei Song's expression was slightly solemn, and he said slowly: "Bagen is also decisive, and when he retreated, he didn't drag his feet at all, but unfortunately he missed the best opportunity, if my expectations are good, Lord Qin Cha Zhao has now led a large army to wait for him near Weishui......"
Qi Gemu squinted at Wei Song and said, "I only hope that your Lord Qincha can keep his promise, and after the war, he will provide grain and grass for our Mongolian right-wing tribes as agreed." β
"It's nature!" While speaking, Wei Song turned his head to Su He and asked, "Leader Su He, how is the situation of the Zhucha Hetai cavalry?" Are they willing to continue to obey your commands? β
Su He's attitude towards Wei Song was quite respectful, and he nodded and replied: "The warriors of Zhuchagatai are still under my control, and when the Mongol coalition army arrives in Weishui, as long as I give an order, they will immediately turn against the water and attack the Dzungar cavalry with the Han army!" β
Wei Song nodded in satisfaction, and asked Zigmu again: "Chief Sigmu, what is the situation of the major tribes of the Mongolian right-wing?" β
Zigmu said: "Don't worry, because this operation needs to be secretive, as long as I lead the warriors of the Ordos tribe to take the lead, the warriors of the major tribes of the Mongolian right wing will inevitably follow!" In addition, I have already sent fast horses back to the Hetao last night, and after my father received the news, he will definitely lead the army to attack the Dzungar cavalry left in the steppe, and this time it will definitely hurt the vitality of the Dzungar Khanate! β
Wei Song nodded again and said, "According to the marching speed of the Mongol coalition army, it will arrive in Weishui in about three days, and then everything will be left to the two of you!" β¦β¦ If all else happens, this battle should be over that day! β
Hearing Wei Song's words, Qi Gemu and Su He's expressions were a little complicated, but they soon became firm again.
Now, they have become traitors to the Mongol coalition, but they have no choice but to preserve the vitality of their respective tribes!

At the same time, on the wall of Jiezhou City, Zhang Chengxun was secretly relieved after watching the Mongol coalition army gradually move away.
In the past few days, in the face of the crazy offensive of the Mongol coalition army, Jiezhou City is not as impregnable as it seems, and there have been many dangerous situations, and the defenders have also suffered serious losses, and he, as the actual person in charge of defending the city, is not without pressure.
But now, it's finally over!
It's just that after seeing the end of the battle in Jiezhou City, Zhang Chengxun couldn't relax, but his brain turned sharply, secretly thinking about the future development of the battle situation: "The situation is really as I expected, Jiezhou City is just a bait thrown by Lord Qincha to the Mongolian Tartars, just to be responsible for dragging the main force of the Mongolian coalition army!" And the main force of our army took advantage of the Mongol Tatars to storm the city of Jiezhou and laid a heavy siege! The Mongol coalition army has repeatedly divided its troops these days, but after these troops left the Mongol camp, they were never seen again, and it is very likely that they were wiped out by the main force of our army...... Now, the Mongol Tartars hastily retreated, apparently discovering that they were surrounded...... But now that Lord Qincha has already set up a formation, how can he easily let them return to the grassland safely? It must be to annihilate them all so that they can achieve all the ......"
Zhang Chengxun is worthy of being one of the best people in the forbidden army, and when Jiezhou City was surrounded by the Mongol coalition army for many days and isolated from intelligence, he had already guessed Zhao Junchen's strategic plan through some clues.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chengxun's eyes flickered, and the ambition in his heart continued to rise: "Although the battle to defend the city of Jiezhou City was successful, Guan Wuyuan is the main general on the bright side, and he will also account for the majority of the court's evaluation and reward in the future...... Judging by the current situation, on the retreat route of the Mongol coalition army, Lord Qincha must have arranged heavy troops, and there will inevitably be a decisive battle at that time! β¦β¦ Once this decisive battle is the total annihilation of the Mongol coalition army, it will inevitably be recorded in the annals of history, and all the generals who participated in the war will also have a higher merit, but it is just my opportunity! β¦β¦ If I can take the opportunity to get the favor of Lord Zhao again, I can even be at the top of the list of merits of the imperial court! β
Thinking of this, Zhang Chengxun suddenly turned his head and asked: "After the Mongolian coalition army leaves Jiezhou City for twenty miles, I will order someone to open the city gate, and then send an order, so that all the cavalry in the city that can still move will be assembled as soon as possible, and prepare to pursue the Mongolian coalition army with me!" β
Hearing Zhang Chengxun's order, several military attachΓ©s behind him were dumbfounded.
The Mongolian coalition army finally retreated, and everyone was relieved, just hoping that this war would end, and Zhang Chengxun still wanted to lead the troops to pursue?
You know, the Mongols are not proficient in attacking the city, but they are good at field warfare, and the cavalry that can still move in the city of Jiezhou is now only about 2,000 people, and the Mongolian coalition army still has a huge strength of nearly 30,000.
Cao Ming, the garrison officer of Jiezhou City, couldn't help but retort: "Zhang Tongzhi, the Mongolian coalition army finally retreated and left, and most of the soldiers of our army are exhausted, so I am afraid that it is a little inappropriate to pursue the Mongolian Tartars at this time...... Would you like to ask General Guan what he means? β
Zhang Chengxun waved his hand solemnly: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart!" If what I expected, Lord Chincha has now arranged a heavy encirclement for the Mongol coalition army, and the Mongol coalition army hastily retreated this time for this reason! I will not lead the pursuit this time to resist the Mongols, but try to harass their rear army, slow down their march, buy more time for our main army to prepare, and wait until the Mongol Tatars will fight a decisive battle with our main army...... Once my vision comes true, it will be a great achievement, and both you and I will be richly rewarded! β¦β¦ As for General Guan, he is still seriously ill now, so don't bother him! β
Zhang Chengxun wanted to take a risk and win a big deal this time, so naturally he would not let Guan Wuyuan participate in it.
These days of command and operation have allowed Zhang Chengxun to establish a very high prestige among the defenders, and after seeing his firm attitude, Cao Ming hesitated again and again, and finally decided to believe Zhang Chengxun again.
What's more, since the Mongol coalition army attacked the city more and more crazy and fierce, Guan Wuyuan was frightened, these days he has been hiding in the palace of Jiezhou City to eat fasting and chanting Buddha, begging for the protection of God and Buddha, except for Zhang Chengxun, no one is seen, even if Cao Ming wants to use Guan Wuyuan to stop Zhang Chengxun's crazy moves, he can't find Guan Wuyuan in a short time.
In the end, Cao Ming gritted his teeth and agreed: "Let's go and give the order!" β

In fact, the news of the Mongols' withdrawal soon spread throughout Gongchang Mansion!
Anyuan Acropolis is one of the four acropolis near Jiezhou City, located in the southwest of Jiezhou City 60 miles, there are more than 2,800 border troops in the city, and the supreme commander is Hu Cheng, the official of Qianhu.
During this period of time, when the Mongol coalition army attacked Jiezhou City, Hu Cheng completely forgot his responsibility to defend the town, and he had no intention of helping Jiezhou City to contain the Mongol coalition army, but blindly retreated in the Anyuan Acropolis to defend it to the death.
On this day, when Hu Cheng received the news that he did not receive the night, saying that it was the retreat of the Mongolian coalition army, he was overjoyed, and he stroked his palms again and again: "Good news!" The Mongols have finally withdrawn! I don't have to worry about the Mongol Tatars attacking An Yuanwei anymore, I can finally sleep peacefully tonight! β
Then, Hu Cheng suddenly thought of something, and asked Ye Bushu in front of him, "Do you know why the Mongols suddenly retreated?" β
Ye Bu replied: "During this period of time, the Mongol Tatars have not made any progress in attacking Jiezhou City, and I am afraid that they have lost their patience...... But from the villain's point of view, the most important willingness is probably because of the loss of the Mongols' troops and the great loss of strength, when the Mongols retreated this time, the number of troops was less than 30,000, and the 20,000 soldiers and horses of their first two divisions have not been traced so far, I am afraid that they were really wiped out by Lord Qincha as rumored! β
Hu Cheng was slightly stunned and muttered, "Could it be that the official document I received yesterday is true?" β
Yesterday evening, Anyuan Acropolis received an official letter from Zhao Junchen, saying that Zhao Junchen had led the army to exterminate the two divisions of the Mongol army, beheaded more than 10,000 people, captured more than 4,000 people, and captured a large number of war horses and materials, and nearly half of the strength of the Mongol coalition army had been damaged.
Hu Cheng has always been afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and from the bottom of his heart he believed that the Han army was by no means the opponent of the Mongols, and his first reaction after receiving the official document was disbelief, thinking that all this was a false report of military exploits by Zhao Junchen.
But at this time, after receiving tangible information, and thinking back to yesterday's official document, Hu Cheng had to believe it.
"Lord Qincha Zhao really established such a great feat?" Between muttering to himself, Hu Cheng's expression was a little hesitant: "Lord Qin Cha Zhao has passed down official documents many times saying that he wants to completely annihilate the Mongol coalition army, it seems that he is serious!" If the Mongol coalition army really lost nearly half of its troops and fell into siege, now is a great opportunity to fight for military merit...... On the other hand, if I have been indifferent all this time, I am afraid that I will be held accountable for cowardice afterwards......"
In the end, Hu Cheng suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Pass the order, gather all the troops in the acropolis, and go to Weishui with the general to support Lord Qincha in the battle!" β
Hu Cheng didn't dare to directly pursue the Mongol coalition army like Zhang Chengxun, let alone send troops to intercept the retreat of the Mongol coalition army, so he planned to lead the troops to join the main force of the Ming army under Zhao Junchen, so that he could naturally get a piece of the pie after the war.

Gongchang Mansion City is far away from Jiezhou City, and has not yet received news from the Mongol coalition army.
However, after Zhao Junchen exterminated the two divisions of the Mongol coalition army, he took all the prisoners of the Mongol coalition army to the outside of Gongchangfu.
Zhang Mingren, the prefect of Gongchang, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that the black and oppressive camp outside the city was full of Mongolian prisoners, and there were at least three or five thousand people according to rough calculations.
There are so many people who are captured alone, and the number of beheadings must be several times more!
Zhang Mingren has been an official on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu for nearly ten years, and he has never seen such brilliant results.
Zhang Mingren was shocked, and hurriedly sent people to the prisoner camp to confirm the news, and after confirming that the prisoner camp was full of genuine Mongolian prisoners, and not ordinary people pretending to be military exploits, Zhang Mingren was immediately overjoyed, and ordered: "Lord Qincha has such a great military exploit, it is really a blessing for the imperial court!" Blessings to the people! Immediately send people to collect the wine, cattle and sheep in the city, and then gather all the squires and rich people in the city, and let them go to the government to discuss the next labor army with their officials! Such military exploits will definitely be recorded in the annals of history, and our Gongchang Mansion must also show something! β
After speaking, Zhang Mingren hurriedly returned to the study of the government office, wrote more than 3,000 words of good news and meritorious work in the shortest possible time, and briefly mentioned his auxiliary skills in the rear of the battlefield, and then sent someone to the capital on a fast horse.
Zhang Mingren believes that if he can inform the court of this happy event as soon as possible, maybe he can also share some benefits, at least he can deepen his impression in the heart of Emperor Deqing, such an opportunity is naturally not to be missed!
