The first year of Tianqing, 1259 A.D., the first day of the twelfth month. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The weather became bitterly cold again, with cold clouds covering several days in a row, the north wind howling, and another heavy snow on the horizon.

At two o'clock, Zhang Binghui, who was already freezing and almost fainted, hurried towards the camp.

Zhang Binghui is already a team general under Wu Shaogang, and Ma Long has become a team officer under Zhang Binghui.

For a few days in a row, Zhang Binghui personally led Ma Long and others to go to the periphery of Huangzhou City to investigate, in fact, it can't be said to be an investigation, that is, every day when it is dark, he secretly goes to the outside of the moat of Huangzhou City, finds a secluded place, listens quietly, and listens to whether there is any big movement in Huangzhou City.

In such a cold climate, going to reconnoiter at night, and it can not be stopped, this kind of suffering is not something that ordinary people can bear, each sergeant can hold on for an hour at most, but Wu Shaogang's order is extremely strict, and it is necessary to continue to investigate, and if there is any disturbance, it is necessary to return to the camp immediately to report without delay.

Before this, Wu Shaogang led the Xingzhou Imperial Army to belong to the 3,000 people, had left the camp and found a place to camp alone, they were stationed in a small mountain col, which was only five miles away from the city of Huangzhou, in the northwest direction of the city of Huangzhou, and the army led by Lu Wende was stationed in the south of the city of Huangzhou.

Perhaps the attention of the Mongolian army has always been in the south, or in the west where it is preparing to evacuate, or maybe the Mongolian army does not care about the Song army at all, and does not do its best to reconnoitre, the army led by Wu Shaogang has been stationed in the mountain col for several days, and has been very calm, and there is no Mongolian army out of the city to reconnoitre.

The 3,000 soldiers of the Urging Front Army are the most elite troops of the Imperial Army in Xingzhou, but there are only 1,000 war horses, and only every three people have one war horse on average. This is already very good, but if you are a ranger army, you can have a dozen or so war horses, thank God.

As for combat effectiveness, Wu Shaogang is not clear, but he is not optimistic at all, after all, he was trained with special forces before the crossing, Wu Shaogang's vision is vicious and very tricky, after the crossing, he tried his best to overcome the problem of too high vision.

In the past month, Wu Shaogang has initially implemented some training methods, trying to make the combat effectiveness of these two hundred people stronger, although the time is very limited, but these two hundred people seem to be much better than before.

"Report, there is movement in Huangzhou City...

"Zhang Binghui, don't worry, just talk slowly."

"In the first four days, there was almost no loud sound in the city of Huangzhou, it was very quiet at night, only when a small number of Mongolian troops went out of the city, there would be some movement, and it was quiet soon, today's situation is different, from the second moment of the ugly hour, the sound of horses' hooves coming out of the city, can be heard very clearly outside the city, and the sound of horses' hooves is very dense, subordinates dare not be careless, and many sergeants are suitable again, it is true, it is estimated that the Mongolian army has moved."

A glimmer of light burst out of Wu Shaogang's eyes.

These days, he has been waiting for the Mongolian army to launch a general attack, and only when the Mongolian army is out of the nest, he has the opportunity to take advantage of the situation to take the city of Huangzhou, and there is no other way.

The plan to storm the city, Wu Shaogang never thought about it from the beginning.

"Got it, leave two people in front to reconnoitre, and the rest of the people will withdraw immediately, and at the same time, send two people to the marshal to inform the Mongolian army of the news that they may be going to attack."

After Zhang Binghui left, Cai Siwei, the commander of the Xingzhou Imperial Army, soon appeared in the tent.

Considering that Wu Shaogang was only a general of the Imperial Advance Army of Ezhou, when Lu Wende handed over the 3,000 sergeants to him, he appointed him as a special envoy, which was a temporary position that could exercise his authority on behalf of the commander and facilitate Wu Shaogang's temporary command of the battle.

"Commander Cai, I heard that you can speak Mongolian, but there is such a thing."

"Report to the envoy, subordinates will know a few words of Mongolian language."

"Very good, according to the intelligence detected from the front, I am afraid that the Mongolian army will launch an attack on the camp today, and when the Mongolian army team leaves the city, it is when our attack begins, and we must take the city of Huangzhou."

Speaking of this, Wu Shaogang's face was unusually cold.

"We only have 3,000 men, and in the face of the brave Mongolian army, it is difficult to win by forcibly attacking the city, not to mention the others, the dense bows and arrows of the Mongolian army will cause us heavy casualties, so we must earn the city gate."

Speaking of this, Wu Shaogang looked at Cai Siwei.

Cai Siwei's eyes widened instantly, and he felt that Wu Shaogang's arrangement had a bit of a fantasy.

"Your Excellency, the Mongolian army is standing on the city wall, and can see the army very clearly, and can quickly recognize us, even if the subordinates know a few words of Mongolian, it is difficult to gain the trust of the Mongolian army, let alone get close to the city wall."

"Don't worry, I've got my own arrangements."

Wu Shao just began to speak carefully, and Cai Siwei also listened carefully.

However, when Cai Siwei left the tent, he still had a look of shock on his face.

The barracks in the col began to agitate, and at the moment when the order was given, all the officers and sergeants began to concentrate.

At three o'clock, except for the cavalry, the rest of the sergeants were all concentrated in the col.

Cai Siwei, the commander of the Urging Front Army, was at the front of the team, looking at Wu Shaogang in front of him.

Wu Shaogang was on horseback, motionless, watching all this with cold eyes.

The order was given at two o'clock, and it took nearly a quarter of an hour for just an emergency assembly, and this speed would definitely not work, and if there was an emergency, or a surprise attack by the opponent, the outcome would definitely be miserable, and perhaps the team would be completely broken up before it had time to counterattack.

The team had just assembled, and Zhang Binghui, who was riding a horse, appeared in front of Wu Shaogang again.

"Report, just after the hour, the Mongolian army has already driven out of the city of Huangzhou, and the direction is towards the large camp due south, and the scale of more than 10,000 people is visually measured, and all of them are cavalry."

Wu Shaogang's body trembled slightly, and he unconsciously looked to the south, he didn't know if the army led by Lu Wende could really resist the large-scale charge of the Mongolian army, and how long it could last.

"Team Zhang, enter the ranks."

Zhang Binghui entered the ranks, and Wu Shaogang looked at the many sergeants in front of him and spoke word by word.

"Brothers, we are about to start attacking the city of Huangzhou, the task of this battle is to take the city of Huangzhou at all costs, the vast majority of the Mongolian troops stationed in the city of Huangzhou have gone out of the city to fight, the number of soldiers left behind should not be much, as long as we work together and fight hard, we will definitely be able to take the city of Huangzhou."

"You are all soldiers of the Urging Army, the most elite sergeants of the Xingzhou Imperial Army, I don't need to say too many words, but this battle is not trivial, there are some things I still have to say in front, if someone violates the rules, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"First, it is absolutely subordinate to the command, there must be no objections, and no matter what kind of combat mission it accepts, it must be completed; second, when the battle begins, it is only allowed to rush forward, not to retreat, and those who escape from the battle are to be formed on the spot; third, when the battle begins, the officers charge at the front and must not retreat."

The surroundings quickly fell silent, and there was no sound.

Wu Shaogang looked at everyone coldly.

"In this battle, I will charge at the forefront, and the two hundred sergeants of the Ezhou Imperial Front Army who followed me to fight will follow me as the vanguard, and all the other sergeants will follow closely behind, once the battle begins, there will be no hesitation or delay in the slightest."

"The Mongolian army may be very brave, but I believe that they are human beings, not gods, as long as we are not afraid, move forward bravely, and with the indomitable momentum, we will be able to completely defeat the Mongolian army."

"You are the Urging Army, the most elite sergeant under the command of Marshal Lu, and the most powerful and courageous sergeant in combat, whether you can afford the title of Urging the Advance Army, it depends on the next fight, I hope you don't let me down."

。。。

Cai Siwei, who was at the front of the team, blushed several times and wanted to speak, but after seeing Wu Shaogang's cold expression and Ling Ran's breath revealed, he finally didn't speak.

At the end of the day, the army set out from the mountain col and headed in the direction of Huangzhou City.

At the head of the procession there were only fifty men, all on horseback.

Led by Wu Shaogang, followed by Cai Siwei, Zhang Binghui and Ma Long are also in the team.

"Commander Cai, don't be nervous, be natural."

Cai Siwei's face was a little pale, and his body trembled slightly.

"Your Excellency, if the Mongolian army discovers a flaw, how should we deal with it?"

"Then fight them at the gates, hold on, and wait for the arrival of the army."

"But, Lord Envoy, how can you deal with the attack of the Mongolian army with only fifty people?"

Wu Shaogang turned his head sharply and looked at Cai Siwei.

"Why, are you afraid, you are still the commander of the Urging Army, it is said that when you were in Sichuan, you experienced a lot of fighting with the Mongolian army, so it is possible that you did not take the initiative to attack."

Cai Siwei blushed and lowered his head.

Wu Shaogang could only lament in his heart, it seemed that his prediction of the battle of Hezhou in Sichuan was still accurate, and the Song army did not take the initiative to launch any attack at all, as for Lu Wende leading the army to aid Ezhou City, I am afraid that it was also under the negligence of the Mongolian army and the inability to take care of the end of the situation that he was able to enter the city of Ezhou.

The Song army was afraid of the Mongolian army to such an extent, which Wu Shaogang did not expect.

Under such circumstances, Wu Shaogang insisted on his own decision, he had to fundamentally dispel the concerns of the sergeants, the Mongol army was not invincible, although their cavalry was extremely brave, and they could even sweep the world.

"Commander Cai, I don't want to say more, if you are afraid, don't participate in this operation."

Cai Siwei raised his head suddenly.

"Your Excellency, your subordinates will not be afraid."
