Hao Jing's analysis is accurate, but unfortunately he ignores another aspect, that is, the loyal and brave soldiers stationed in Qi County have no chance to evacuate at all. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Report to my lord, my subordinates caught the spies of the Mongolian army, and learned the information, the total strength of the Mongolian army besieging Qi County is 15,000 people, commanded by a thousand household chiefs, the Mongolian army surrounded by the direction of Sizhou, the total strength is about 10,000 people, and it has passed Lingbi, and the Mongolian army that commands these two Mongolian troops to fight is the Mongolian right Shi Tianze, as for where Shi Tianze is, his subordinates have not yet found out, the Mongolian army has not yet launched an attack on Qi County, but is firmly besieging the county seat. . . .

Hao Jing's face finally changed.

Looking at Wu Shaogang, who had not yet spoken, he slowly spoke.

"My lord, Shi Tianze is a member of the Mongolian army, both civil and military, and his subordinates never imagined that Kublai Khan would actually send Shi Tianze to recover the lost territory in Huaibei.

Wu Shaogang did not speak for the time being.

He commanded a total of 25,000 soldiers, but the combat effectiveness of 15,000 of them was unsatisfactory, and the one who could really directly participate in the battle and be able to guarantee the victory of the battle was 10,000 troops in front of the Hezhou Imperial Army, but they were facing 25,000 menacing Mongolian troops, and this was only a two-way Mongolian army.

The Mongolian army of 15,000 people besieged Qi County, which was said to be completely direct attack, and occupied an absolute advantage in terms of troops, and the loyal and brave army stationed in Qi County was not a strong army of the Great Song Dynasty.

Why did the Mongol army delay in starting the siege, could it be that they were waiting for something.

Thinking of this, Wu Shaogang's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Du Xiaoqi, immediately send scouts to reconnoiter the direction of the Lushui River and the direction of the Beiqi River, to see if there is a Mongolian army coming in the direction of Qi County, the speed must be fast, I need to get accurate information before dark."

"The Mongolian army rushing to the aid in the direction of Sizhou has passed Lingbi, where are they now, where are the vanguard troops stationed, why have the Mongolian troops besieging Qi County not launched an attack for a long time, how long have they arrived in Qi County, is it because of the fatigue of the long-distance attack, or there are other reasons."

"The Mongolian army commands Shi Tianze, it is impossible to completely break away from the Mongolian army under his command, where is he, find a way to figure it out."

。。。

Wu Shaogang's question in one breath made Du Xiaoqi a little dizzy.

Hao Jing on the side fell into contemplation.

After Du Xiaoqi accepted the order, he turned around and left the temporary Chinese military tent.

Before Hao Jing could speak, Wu Shaogang waved his hand.

"Mr. Hao, I know what you want to say, I have to be careful, our original intention was to rescue my father-in-law, and the information detected by the scouts made me have to plan carefully, if I act rashly, not only will I not be able to rescue my father-in-law, but it may also make the army under my command fall into a heavy encirclement, and at that time, we are afraid that we will really enter the trap designed by others."

"What my lord said is that my subordinates have just thought about it, as long as they can quickly lift the encirclement of Qi County, then whether it is the planning of the Mongolian army or some other calculations, it will be useless, and the current situation seems to be what the Mongolian army is waiting for around the bait of Qi County."

"Mr. is right, I'm afraid the Mongolian army is waiting for us to help, I can't imagine that the Mongolian army knows our whereabouts so well."

"What's next, sir."

"Annihilate the Mongolian army that came to help from Sizhou, I want to see how Shi Tianze is going to make me fall into a trap, doesn't he have a three-way army, then we will come one by one, first deal with the Mongolian army rushing to aid in the direction of Sizhou, and then deal with the Mongolian army rushing to help in the direction of Mengcheng, we just don't attack the Mongolian army besieging Qi County, and see what kind of adjustment Shi Tianze makes."

"Whether the adults pass first, how long can the loyal soldiers of Qi County hold out."

"The battle of attacking the city is not so easy, my father-in-law is brave and good at fighting, I have learned that I came to help, and I will definitely stick to it, and Yuan Shichun has entered Qi County, and my father-in-law should also analyze it."

"The consideration of the subordinates is to divide the troops into two ways, all the way to stop the Mongolian army rushing to help in the direction of Sizhou, and all the way to attack the Mongolian army besieging Qi County, so that it is a lot of insurance, and it also makes the loyal and brave army trapped in Qi County see hope."

"I understand what Mr. means, this move is the safest, Shi Tianze is brave, but he would never have thought that the imperial army in Hezhou has extraordinary combat effectiveness, and all of them are cavalry, if this method is adopted, the siege of Qixian can be quickly lifted, but I don't plan to arrange it like this."

Hao Jing looked at Wu Shaogang, and his eyes became deep.

"Mr. Hao, what is the purpose of our expedition, this is also a question I have been thinking about, in fact, when we were in Luzhou, we thought that the imperial army could not hold Huaibei at all, but we still came to help, isn't this self-inflicted bored, and now, I finally figured out that our purpose is to exterminate the living force of the Mongolian army as much as possible."

"The Mongolian army is strong, the combat effectiveness is extraordinary, and the imperial army is weak, this is a fact recognized by everyone, the reason why Kublai Khan was not able to immediately launch an attack on us is nothing more than internal instability, unable to fight on two fronts, otherwise Abuligo seized the opportunity, the Khan position is difficult to protect, let alone dominate the world, when Kublai Khan led the Mongolian army, besieged Ezhou and other places, even if the Great Khan Meng Ge died unexpectedly, he did not plan to withdraw the army, still thinking about capturing Ezhou, pointing at Lin'an, it can be seen that at that time, Kublai Khan wanted to destroy our Great Song Dynasty in one fell swoop. ”

"In this way, I feel that the Mongolian army is contemptuous of my imperial army, just as they treat the new annexed army, and the new annexed army is also the weakest team in the Mongolian army, but it is this weakest new annexed army, forgetting its own identity, and also despising my imperial army."

"The Mongolian cavalry is brave, but how many soldiers and horses are there in the Mongolian cavalry, the Mongolian steppe has a harsh climate, the Mongolian tribes are mainly nomadic life, how much can its population be, according to my estimates, the Mongolian cavalry cannot exceed 100,000 people, the so-called hundreds of thousands or even the so-called million Mongolian army, the vast majority of them are new annexed troops."

"The goal of our expedition this time is to strike a severe blow to the new annexed army, at least to the arrogance of the new annexed army."

。。。

After Wu Shaogang finished speaking, Hao Jing was silent for a while, and still spoke.

"The meaning of the adult, the subordinates understand, there are hills and valleys in the hearts of the adults, but the subordinates still have different opinions."

"The grand plan of the lord is not showing it now, this subordinate does not need to be repeated, if the performance of the imperial army in Hezhou is too dazzling in Huaibei, it will not only attract the attention of Kublai Khan, but also arouse the attention of the imperial court.

"Huaibei Prefectures, even if it is after the struggle of the adults and the next foothold, is it possible that the imperial armies of Hezhou will be stationed here, this is impossible, the adults want to let Xia Gui come to garrison, what can they do, is it possible that the adults can control the affairs of the court, let Xia Gui fight to the death in Suzhou or Shouzhou."

"My lord's plan, temporarily abandon Qi County, but go all out to attack the Mongolian army in Sizhou, this plan is wonderful, my subordinates believe that the Mongolian army in Sizhou will be completely destroyed, but have you ever thought about it, if the Mongolian army besieging Qi County, began to attack the city with all its might, what would be the outcome, according to the ideas of the subordinates, the army besieged the Mongolian army in Sizhou on the one hand, and lifted the crisis in Qi County, which could not be done."

"My subordinates think that the main purpose of my lord's expedition is to rescue Li Zhizhi and the loyal soldiers."

"The subordinates are brave, the adults do not have much foundation in the court, although the subordinates do not know what the situation in the court is, but the subordinates have done things by Kublai Khan's side, even if it is in the Mongolian court, the game is also fierce, since the lord led the army into the land of Huaibei, if he did not have time to rush to the aid of Qi County, resulting in an accident, dare to ask how the lord will gain a foothold in the court in the future, dare to ask how the lord will play with Xia Gui and the people behind him."

"The subordinates thought that Xia Gui and the people behind him were not ignorant people, they just saw this, so they carefully planned and set up a bureau to let the adults in."

"This bureau must be broken, but Qi County is still the most critical place."

。。。

Hao Jing was the first time he opposed Wu Shaogang's arrangement, and he said it very bluntly.

Wu Shaogang was a little angry and almost angry, but in the end he calmed down.

In Hao Jing's words, there is a very key point, that is, filial piety, Hao Jing actually accused Wu Shaogang of not forgetting filial piety because of the majestic goal in his heart, in addition to the problem of inappropriate timing and so on.

After a full quarter of an hour of silence, Wu Shaogang made a decision in his heart, and he gave in.

"What Mr. said is that I am too anxious, and I hope that Mr. will remind me more in the future, so that I will not fall into a predicament."

Hao Jing let out a long breath.

In the military tent.

"Zhang Binghui, I order you to lead 10,000 soldiers, including 3,000 people from the Hezhou Imperial Army, 2,000 from the Left Army under the Zhenjiang Imperial Army, 3,000 from the Xuanfeng Army, and 2,000 from the Pioneer Army, to defend Xigu Town, no matter how big the losses are, the Mongolian army that rushed to the aid of Sizhou was not allowed to take a step forward, let alone they were allowed to rush to the aid of Qi County."

"The rest of the armies, prepare for a day tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow follow me to attack the Mongolian army besieging Qi County and completely defeat them."

"Du Xiaoqi, continue to send scouts to investigate the situation in the area of the Lishui River, and if you find the Mongolian army rushing to help, report it quickly."

"Ladies and gentlemen, this battle is dangerous, we must do our best, if there are cowards and those who escape, there will be no forgiveness." (To be continued.) )
