Ye Zhan shook his head: "The Mongols' charge is indeed very orderly, and it is very dispersed. But I don't think there are many of them, and they seem to be suspicious. ”

Zhao Qi stared at it for a while: "It seems that the number of people is not much, could it be that the Mongols are testing us?" ”

"No, Master Zhao." Ye Zhan suddenly said, "The Mongols want to run. That's what we did when we were operating in Goryeo, using a small group of people to entangle the enemy, and the large force began to retreat. ”

"Ding Jun." After Ye Zhan finished speaking, he didn't care about Zhao Qi anymore, and called Ding Jun over, "You are now in charge of commanding two infantry regiments, and I will report the situation to Commander Han and ask the cavalry division to pursue the enemy." ”

After Han Wantao received Ye Zhan's report, he and Andreas came to the position in person, and as Ye Zhan analyzed, unlike Liu Zongmin's peasant army, the Mongol charge seemed to be fierce, but it had no effect at all.

Han Wantao touched his chin: "Gu Luge and Hang Gao have a lot of ideas, they really want to run, but where can they run?" ”

"Sir." Ye Zhan said, "Their only way to retreat is definitely Yulin, and only through Yulin can they return to Naturalization City." ”

"Deputy Division Commander Ye." Andreas interjected on the sidelines, "Yulin has been occupied by General Wang Pu, can they go to Yulin?" ”

"You two don't fight anymore." Han Wantao said, "I order, Andreas, to lead your cavalry division; Ye Zhan, with two infantry regiments, pursued the Mongols with all his might, and must not let them withdraw to Guihua City. However, you two must be very careful, the cavalry infantry cannot be too far apart, the cavalry's infantry rifles have no range advantage, and they must rely on the infantry's rifled guns to strike. ”

"Yes, sir." Ye Zhan and Andreas replied in unison.

Han Wantao transferred an infantry battalion from Zhou Lei and entered the position, and after Ye Zhan and Andreas left, Han Wantao personally went to the position on Zhou Lei's side.

The fighting here was much more fierce than that side, and the peasant army rushed up desperately, and Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Tinglin also came to the front line.

"Lord Lu, Lord Yang." Han Wantao saluted.

Lu Xiangsheng already knew the news of the retreat of the Mongols: "General Han, have your pursuers been sent?" ”

"Back to Lord Lu, I have already sent it out." Han Wantao looked at the bright sky and continued, "Please rest assured, as soon as the day dawns, the Liukou will definitely stop attacking when they know the news of the Mongols' retreat." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "There is General Lao Han in this battle, and the commander will ask the court for the general's credit." ”

"Thank you, Lord Lu." Han Wantao replied, "There is still one thing about the lower officials, if the rogues retreat or want to make peace with us, I don't know how the adults will deal with it?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng guessed what Han Wantao wanted to say: "General Han must have a good plan, you might as well say it and discuss it." ”

"Lord Lu, we have been fighting hard here for a few days, and we need to rest." Han Wantao didn't hide it either, "And if the Mongols surrender, they are close to 20,000, and it seems inappropriate to stay with us all of them." The lower officials want to scatter these Mongols and place them everywhere, hoping that they can be used by me. For the Mongols, the lower officials believed that it was better to recruit An. ”

"It's just General Han." Yang Tinglin asked, "The Mongols are easy to say, but if these exiles are allowed to withdraw to Xi'an, the official thinks it is not appropriate." ”

"Lord Yang doesn't have to worry." Han Wantao explained, "At present, all the troops are assembled in Luoyang, and I have heard that Lord Shi Kefa will also command an army of 200,000 to Luoyang, and the 30,000 troops of Qin Liangyu have reached the south side of Xi'an. As long as we get rid of the Mongols and stabilize the Yan'an area, then we can copy Xi'an from Sanbabread, and Liukou will naturally become the turtle in the urn. ”

Yang Tinglin thought differently from Han Wantao, although he was very grateful to Yulin Jun for rescuing him this time, but he was very reluctant to return to Luoyang, Yang Sichang's death made Yang Tinglin's heart hold a belly of fire. But Han Wantao didn't think about this, and it would be beneficial for Jiang Beiming in Beijing to solve Li Zicheng as soon as possible, both for Jiang Beiming in Beijing and for the overall plan of Yulin Bay. Only by killing Li Zicheng can Yulin Bay free up his hands to concentrate on dealing with Vietnam and Tao Min.

Yang Tinglin didn't speak again, but looked up at Lu Xiangsheng. Lu Xiangsheng said: "This is a later story, wait until dawn to see the movements of the Liukou before making a decision." ”

Ye Zhan and Andreas chased them for a whole day, and finally caught up with the Mongols. Ye Zhan's two infantry regiments marched 120 miles all day, and by the time they caught up with the Mongols, they were already exhausted. The cavalry division can be slightly better, but the cavalry division is one man and one horse, and all the horses are also a little exhausted.

The Mongols were not much better, this day's rush, I thought I could get rid of the Yulin army, but I didn't expect them to catch up so quickly. Gu Luge and Hang Gao had no idea for a while, and they didn't know whether to fight or surrender.

Neither side had time to set up camp and no further action was taken. The 10,000 Yulin army and the more than 10,000 Mongols faced each other more than two miles apart.

Ye Zhan and Andreas were both colonels and deputy division commanders, and when they left, Han Wantao didn't explain who was the commander, Ye Zhan could only discuss with Andreas first: "Colonel Andreas, the Mongols are in front, but we don't have the energy to fight anymore now, and the soldiers are exhausted." ”

"I know, Colonel Ye." Andreas put down the binoculars in his hand, "I see that the Mongols are also very tired, they have run a long way this day, and they may not be able to fight again." ”

"So be it, Colonel Andreas." Ye Zhan said, "You lead the troops to hold down the position here, and I will take a team of cavalry to talk to them, hoping to win a night's rest." As for tomorrow, either fight or surrender, I think the Mongols will know how to choose. ”

Ye Zhan came to the front of the Mongols with a company of cavalry waving white flags, and Guluge and Hang Gao also came to the front of the camp with white flags.

"Two generals." Ye Zhan's first sentence was like a joke, "Running very fast, we actually ran more than 120 miles in one day, it's not easy for us to catch up with you." ”

Gu Luge and Hang Gao didn't know what Ye Zhan's words really meant, and Hang Gao arched his hand and replied: "This general, we just want to go home, I don't know why the general has to chase each other." ”

Ye Zhan's face became serious: "Our General Han has already told you that you only have two ways to choose, either fight or surrender, there is no third way." As for whether you can go home or not, I can't be the master of this, but you can go back with me and ask my general. ”
