The two can be said to be in love, and they hate each other late, so they form an alliance and fight with all kinds of corrupt officials in the court, and most of them win, because they represent the interests of the ruler, then they have reason to believe that they will win this expedition as usual!

Because they represent the interests of the supreme ruler of the current dynasty, and they are all talented people, they are not embarrassed, and they are famous, how can they be invincible.

But the only drawback is that there are too many of their guilty magnates inside the Yuan court, they are a group of hungry wolves with green eyes, and the bones they spit out after eating the meat were actually taken away by other wolves! This is something they cannot tolerate!

then Totoku took Xiang Zeyu away, and their opportunity came......

Detachment and expedition is what the magnates in the court want to see, but thinking that he wants to achieve victory, and then return to the court to get a useless son only a catty?? Timur's heavy reward, this is the last thing the magnates want to see!

Therefore, this time their opportunity not only came, but also had to make a heavy punch, thinking of tossing and extricating themselves to death!

Two days later, Toto, Xiang Zeyu and others came to kill in a mighty way!

Su Zedong stood on the high platform on the outskirts of Gaoyou City, looking at the vanguard army that had escaped, and it could really be said that along the way, it could really be described as "carrying flags for thousands of miles, golden drums shaking the wilderness, and the prosperity of the division, which has never been surpassed".

The Vanguard Army, as the name suggests, is here to clear the field.

Even if Zhang Shicheng doesn't know how to fight or be obscene, it is impossible for the Tokh army to kill directly under Gaoyou City!

It is natural that the center is strong and the surrounding areas are weak, but no matter what, it is necessary to make good use of the terrain and terrain of local warfare, and resist the Mongol army a little in the small cities around Gaoyou City and the suburbs, so as to find a breakthrough in time and opportunity.

At the same time, there is also time to study the Mongol attack methods and the command skills of the generals, etc., even to a certain extent, the Mongol tactics and the command of the generals have a lot in common, but the intelligent generals will always have something ingenious.

For example, the vanguard of detachment is the most powerful vanguard that Zhang Shicheng, Lu Zhen, Wu Shicheng and others have ever seen!

The number of troops brought by Tokhtar this time is definitely not a million, but the vanguard army that rushed to the forefront alone is as high as 100,000!

The nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers guarding the suburbs and small towns were not enough to see, even if they relied on the terrain and terrain, there were strong archers and spearmen who were making stubborn resistance.

However, most of the vanguard soldiers of the Mongol army were transferred from elite units, and it was not a very difficult thing to bring in high-quality troops to help them in the expedition by virtue of the position of prime minister.

Tokhtar also had the foresight, he knew that he had to fight quickly, and he must not give the magnates in the court too much time to think of ways and concentrate on suppressing themselves, squeezing themselves, or even forcing themselves to a dead end!

Therefore, the generals who were in charge of the vanguard army of the detachment were given death orders by him, and within five days, one-fifth of the troops of the vanguard army must be beaten to the foot of Gaoyou City.

Lengthening the front line was not originally the specialty of the Mongol army, but the battle at the point and the encirclement of the point as later generations said were the usual tricks of the Mongol soldiers.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand, the Mongols, like the tribes of various ethnic minorities such as the Jurchens, are a people who grew up on horseback and fought, and the horses they ride do not need to sprint fast, have strong fertility, and can have a few spare horses to ensure that they can run for a long time!

The Mongol vanguard can rely on the speed of horses to improve the mobility and coordination of the whole team, even if the speed of the horses is not fast, but no matter how slow it is, it is much faster than the infantry!

Nor did it mean that the infantry would die when it met the Mongol cavalry, or that in ancient wars, the cavalry had a decisive advantage in battle with the infantry.

However, in ancient warfare, horses were used as a tool of war, and the combat effect of riding on horseback was the same as that of later generations of riding motorcycles to fight in groups, that is, the impact of speed could make many troops unbearable.

The Mongolian cavalry used sabers, not to mention that the sabers were curved and thin, but they were actually quite sharp and durable.

This is not to say how good their craftsmanship is, or how good the swords are made, but at least they don't cut corners, and they have quite a long history.

On the other hand, the craftsmen of the Han people, not to mention the lack of motivation to create for a long time, even the materials have been exploited layer by layer, the Mongolian people are riding on horseback, holding a sharp and tough saber, "Huhuhu" slashed over with a knife, and the weight of hundreds of catties is just like this.

The clothes and armor of the militia and ordinary soldiers are all fart, and they are useless, and they are no different from not wearing them.

The sword, spear, and halberd in his hand is also an ornament, so it is better not to take anything! Anyway, as soon as the Mongol cavalry rushed over, even the fence tied with iron looked like tofu scum;

And this time, the elite soldiers in the so-called vanguard troops who took off their belts, that is, everyone has a figure of five big and three thick, and can shoot a good bow and arrow in one hand, with a strong physique and strength, and the tactics and formations of the infantry are basically in vain.

As for restricting the cavalry's scouring and movement with such gadgets as chains or horse nails, in practice, even in a rough terrain, one or two hundred cavalry could cope with it.

But if there are thousands of Mongolian cavalry, and all of them are elite soldiers, as long as the riding skills are not too bad, this little trick can still be avoided.

It's really not to think that the soldiers who grew up in Mongolia are idiots, since they can come to this place to grab land and successfully fight down, it proves that they still have a thorough understanding of the Central Plains people, and the dynasty they established on horseback must of course sit down on horseback.

Su Zedong knew that the regular army that Zhang Shicheng found was similar in size and equipment to the militia, and its combat effectiveness was just like that.

To put it mildly, a large group of big fools were fooled by a second fool, standing on the battlefield with bamboo poles and playing with a large group of Mongolian cavalry.

To explain its behavior in the game of later generations, it is to fight against the fifth-level bronze and the third-level gold, and then without any small creep supplies, it has been pushed from the top, middle, and bottom of the tower!

But even so, their spirit is still worth learning and carrying forward, that is, they must have such a spirit of being a meat shield, so as to win the possibility of victory in the case of absolute disadvantage.

It's just a pity that when Su Zedong and Liu Zhenming opened their golden fingers like this and came to Gaoyou City to help, in the suburbs of Gaoyou City and the small cities around them, there are still so many soldiers and militiamen with fleshy bodies to resist the bloody sabers and rush of the Mongols!
