Chapter 698: Xishou Military Division

Xishou Baotai Military Division, Wei Ming Linggong received the news of the chaos in Zhongxing Mansion, and his brows furrowed.

Fortunately, I fell into Dayuan's ambush last time. However, because of the sudden attack of the Mongols in Longfu Mountain, the layout of the Great Yuan was disrupted. As a result, the Xia army escaped the fate of being completely annihilated and successfully retreated to the south of Yanzhi Mountain.

But the way back wasn't all smooth sailing! There are not only Dayuan's pursuers, but also the calculations of villains.

However, the gods and Buddhas of the heavens still blessed Great Xia, and even if they encountered twists and turns, half of the army still managed to retreat to the Xishou Baotai Military Division. It's just that Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division in the east are not so lucky, in the face of the onslaught of the Yuan army, there is no Jingsai Military Division's soldiers and horses to help. As a result, the Gansu Army of the Yuan Army and the Second Battalion of the Tubo Army stationed in Xining Prefecture attacked from the east and west. After holding out for seven days, it was broken by the Yuan army.

In fact, Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division had long been abandoned by Xia Guo. Its existence was originally to guard against the Jin army in Lanzhou and to control the Huangshui Basin where Tubo was located. However, as Tibet was ruled by the Great Yuan, the Tibetan army gradually expanded its power to the north. The Huangshui Valley was also quickly infiltrated by Dayuan.

Originally, the Huangshui Valley was a semi-independent regime. Although he submitted to the Xia State, he also surrendered to the Jin State at the same time, and accepted the canonization of both forces at the same time. The Xia kingdom's rule over the local area was not consolidated. And with the opening of the Mongol war against Jin, the appearance of the weakness of the Jin State was also exposed.

Da Yuan's expansion in the Huangshui Valley no longer had any scruples.

As a result, Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division lost the geographical advantage of the western highlands, and suddenly fell behind. In addition, Jin Guo and Xia Guo tore their faces, and the entire Table Luo and the Southern Military Division were completely in danger of being surrounded on three sides. In the case that the hinterland of the Xia Kingdom is still difficult to protect thoroughly, there is no need to defend the border area.

Therefore, Dayuan did not encounter any difficulties in breaking through Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division. However, the Xishou Baotai Military Division is different, it is the main road into the hinterland of the traditional Xia Kingdom, so in the rear of the Xishou Baotai Military Division, there is also a Jingsai Military Division. Originally, this was prepared for the Jin army, but now that the enemy is coming from the west, these military settings have to be adjusted.

Fortunately, after the Jin State was defeated by the Mongol army, there was no plan to expand westward at the moment. This can be regarded as Xia Guo's luck.

At present, after replenishment, the garrison of the Xishou Baotai Military Division has reached 90,000 people. Among them, 30,000 were urgently transferred from other military departments. And the Mongol army also sold the captured Jin captives to the Xia State to serve as cannon fodder for the war. There are also 30,000 of these people, and if they are used properly, they can be regarded as a good help.

It is precisely because of this that the Yuan army took into account the military strength of the Xia army, did not cross the Yellow River, and attacked on a large scale.

But everyone knows that the Yuan army cannot never cross the river. As long as the two countries are still at war, the Yuan army may attack at any time. Therefore, Wei Ming Linggong deployed a large number of troops on the north bank of the Yellow River to detect every move of the Yuan army on the opposite side.

But at this juncture, there was such a terrifying chaos as cannibalism in the capital. Even the emperor and queen have become cannibalistic maniacs. If this is transmitted to the army, it will definitely bring the morale that has been restored to freezing again. After all, many of the soldiers and generals in the army have families in the capital. If they had an accident, they naturally had no intention of fighting.

Just when Wei Ming Linggong was thinking about how to break the game, a group of people suddenly came outside. Just listen: "Jebel Thousand Households? ", the voice was a little surprised.

"No - you can't go in. Our general is also--ah! Before he finished speaking, he ended with a scream.

Wei Minglinggong's body stiffened a little, but he didn't make any movement. Then the curtain was unceremoniously lifted, and Jebel was seen leading a team of Mongol generals in a menacing manner. One of them also threw a human head at the feet of Wei Ming Linggong, and said in a bad tone: "Don't you Xia people know the order of dignity and inferiority? If you dare to be rude to our thousands of households, I have already cleaned it up for you. ”。

Wei Ming Linggong glanced at the dead guard, obviously angry, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction. On the contrary, he humbly thanked the other party and took the initiative to give up his seat.

Jebe, who wore a black cloth cover on his right eye, unceremoniously sat on the seat of the famous Linggong, and said condescendingly: "The capital is in turmoil, doesn't General Wei plan to inform us of the Mongolian army?" ”。

The battle of Longfu Mountain was originally a sneak attack. The response of the Yuan army in the early stage was indeed in line with the expectations of the Mongolian army. But to Jebe's surprise, the Yuan army stationed at that time suffered as many as eighty percent of the casualties, but they still insisted on not retreating. It wasn't until the other Yuan troops arrived that Jebe had to retreat.

In that battle, there were almost no one out of ten cowardly Xue troops who were already small. The ordinary Mongolian army suffered even more casualties. But the result was that he didn't even enter Dayuan's door.

Originally, according to the plan, the Xishou Baotai Military Division also sent reinforcements to follow the Mongolian army. But if you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates. Xia's reinforcements were a day later than Dayuan's. But on this day, the gate that was about to be breached was firmly guarded by the Yuan army. Jebe himself was shot in the eye by a small general of the Yuan army.

The latter heard that he was rewarded by the Liang Palace, and was used as a drama and sung everywhere in the Dayuan military camp. Correspondingly, it was Jebe's name that quickly became weightless in the Yuan army. Even with the Xia army, they also had a contempt for the Mongolian army.

Even if Jebe fought for the risk of deepening his eye injury, he would personally cut off the head of the Xia military reinforcement who delayed the military plane. But this is more like a sick tiger bluffing, not only did it not have the effect of restoring its majesty, but it was even more despised.

So during this time, Jebe's temperament has become more and more irritable. In the past, he would be afraid of some of the faces of the Xia Kingdom, and he would not be so contemptuous in dealing with the generals of the Xia Kingdom. But now, he completely treats the generals of the Xia Kingdom as ants. Among the military divisions of Xishou Baotai, there are already seven generals who have their heads cut off by Jebel himself.

Although the seven generals died unjustly according to military law. However, Jebe's status as a Mongol still caused dissatisfaction among many military generals. There are already more than half of the generals, hoping that Wei Mingling will kill the Mongols and completely fall to the Great Yuan.

Although they are all middle and low-level generals, they have been in charge of the army for many years, and the middle and low-level troops will be the arms that mobilize the entire army. It often also represents the meaning of the majority of soldiers. If the entire barracks are so resistant to the Mongolian army, then this is a hidden danger that cannot be ignored.

"The general has just received the news, and he is about to send someone to inform Qianhu!" , Wei Ming Linggong still maintains a humble posture.

Jebe stared coldly at Wei Ming Linggong for a long time before he said, "The chaos in the capital must have nothing to do with the Yuan people. The Yuan army on the other side of the river is afraid that it has been restless in recent days. ”。
