The 8,000 cavalry drawn out were ready to go. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The results of the battle were basically cleaned up, and there were 15,000 people in the Hezhou Imperial Army, the Guard Ma Junsi, and the Zhenzhou Imperial Army, with nearly 3,000 casualties, of which the largest casualties were the Zhenzhou Imperial Army, the Mongolian army was killed more than 7,000 people, surrendered more than 4,000 people, and more than 3,000 Mongolian soldiers broke through the siege and evacuated.

The loyal and brave army that stuck to Qi County lost more than 2,000 people in this battle, suffered countless minor injuries, and basically lost its combat effectiveness.

The remaining more than 3,000 people in the Guards Ma Military Division were all reorganized into cavalry, and some of the sergeants of the Zhenzhou Imperial Army were also reorganized into cavalry, which made the total number of cavalry commanded by Wu Shaogang reach about 11,000, and the remaining infantry was only a thousand people.

As for the money and grain seized, it is still being counted.

In this way, Wu Shaogang and Li Tingzhi wiped out more than 11,000 Mongolian troops with nearly 6,000 casualties.

This is a great victory that has never been seen before, and it can be said that there has never been such a victory since the confrontation between the Mongolian army and the imperial army.

However, neither Wu Shaogang nor Li Tingzhi showed a particularly happy expression, because they were thinking about the chess players and chess pieces, and they both understood the future path and were extremely convinced that they would not only have to face the powerful Mongolian army, but also possibly face calculations from the imperial court.

Wu Shaogang looked at Li Tingzhi beside him helplessly, this time he rushed to help Xigu Town, Li Tingzhi must follow the army, and Wu Shaogang couldn't stop it, but it was impossible for Li Tingzhi to participate in the fight.

There are nearly 6,000 sergeants left in Qi County, including the surviving sergeants of the Loyal and Brave Army, and the 2,000 Hezhou Imperial Army, etc., whose main duty is to guard and screen the sergeants who surrendered to the Mongolian army, and select the sergeants who can be absorbed into the army.

Yuan Shichun left a temporary command, after all, he was familiar with the situation in Qi County.

The clean-up of the results of the battle is still continuing, some of the sergeants are still busy, there is not much time to rest, it is impossible for the army to stay in Qi County for a long time, and it must be evacuated as quickly as possible.

Time is very precious, Wu Shaogang, Li Tingzhi and Hao Jing all judged that Shi Tianze would definitely send sergeants to send letters to the Mongolian troops rushing to the aid of Xigu Town, warning them to evacuate quickly.

When cleaning up the results, when Wu Shaogang learned that Shi Tianze, the commander-in-chief of the Mongolian army, was in the army, he overturned the table in annoyance, this was a mistake in intelligence reconnaissance, if he knew that Shi Tianze was in the army, then the primary target would definitely be Shi Tianze, and it would not be so everywhere.

Upon learning the news, both Wu Shaogang and Li Tingzhi felt the seriousness of the situation.

Fortunately, Shi Tianze and the others evacuated in the direction of Xuzhou, and there were no Mongolian troops in Suzhou on the way, so Shi Tianze could not mobilize enough troops to come in a short time.

Xigu Town is only about thirty miles away from Qi County, and the cavalry can reach it within an hour.

Along the official road by the Lianshui River, march directly to the front, and you don't even need to distinguish the route.

When Cai Siwei led the army to Xigu Town, he had already left a lot of markers along the way, and Wu Shaogang and others were able to directly reach Xigu Town by following these marks.

When the ugly hour came, the cavalry of 9,000 men set out.

The horse's hooves were all wrapped in cotton cloth, and they could not make too much noise.

As for the road from Qi County to Xigu Town, it has long been full of scouts, they closely monitor everything around, preventing people from going to Xigu Town to report the news, judging from the current situation, no one has passed by the official road and went to report the news, of course, Shi Tianze may send the Mongolian army to Xigu Town from other places to report the news, but Wu Shaogang is not worried at all, after all, it is already dark, the road around Xigu Town is not good, there are many pools and ponds, etc., it is impossible to arrive at night.

Because of Shi Tianze's evacuation, Wu Shaogang was quite angry, and he swore that he would not let the Mongolian army rushing to Sizhou escape.

Before dark, Cai Siwei sent a herald to report the news, and his 10,000 soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and they almost failed to withstand the attack of the Mongolian army several times, but finally persevered.

Although Cai Siwei did not directly mention the number of casualties, Wu Shaogang could expect it.

At that time, Wu Shaogang finally saw Cai Siwei with black blood stains on his face.

Cai Siwei stayed awake all night, looking quite haggard, and his hair was slightly unkempt.

In just one day, Cai Siwei became like this, which surprised Wu Shaogang, from which he could judge that the battle in Xigu Town was extremely tragic.

Li Tingzhi looked at Cai Siwei and didn't say anything.

"Cai Siwei, tell me about the casualties."

"Envoy Li, my lord, after a whole day of fighting yesterday, the army suffered nearly 4,000 casualties...

Wu Shaogang's body trembled, 10,000 casualties were close to 4,000, according to the usual law, this team has lost its combat effectiveness, and it is impossible to continue to fight, Cai Siwei was able to lead the army to continue to hold on, it can be seen that he has suffered extraordinary hardships.

"The biggest casualties were the left army of the Zhenjiang Imperial Army, a team of 2,000 people, and the remaining less than 500 people, the Hezhou Imperial Front Army had 3,000 people, with nearly 400 casualties, and the rest of the Zhenjiang Imperial Front Army selected the front army and the front army, with more than 2,000 casualties."

Wu Shaogang patted Cai Siwei's shoulder vigorously.

"Thank you for your hard work, there are 4,000 casualties, nearly half of the casualties, in such a situation, you can still hold on, it's not easy."

"My lord, there are more than ten escaped sergeants who were personally killed by his subordinates, and if they didn't do this, they wouldn't be able to hold it back...

Cai Siwei was speechless, after all, it was by no means a comfortable thing to kill the sergeants under his command with his own hands.

"The battle in Qi County has ended, we killed and captured more than 11,000 Mongolian soldiers, and won a big victory, which has a lot of credit for you, if it weren't for your dead drag on the Mongolian army reinforced by Sizhou, we would have fallen into the situation of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the abdomen, at that time it was really difficult to say what the ending was, Shi Tianze had already made arrangements, using Qi County as bait, let us go to reinforcements, drag us with 15,000 Mongolian troops, and then let the reinforcements in the direction of Sizhou attack from behind us, such an arrangement is deployed, It is indeed perfect, but it is a pity that Shi Tianze underestimated our combat effectiveness, presumably he is wailing in a dark corner at this moment. ”

When Wu Shao first said this, Li Tingzhi and Cai Siwei both had smiles on their faces.

"The Mongolian army in Xigu Town, don't think about escaping, they are the sergeants that Shi Tianze has high hopes for, the combat effectiveness is extraordinary, and all of them are cavalry, yesterday's battle, you were able to make them have nearly a thousand casualties, you have done a very good job, today you led many soldiers to rest temporarily...

"My lord, my subordinates will not rest, and my subordinates implore me to participate in the battle."

The two commanders who had been keeping their heads down also raised their heads at this moment, and the commanders of the left army of the Zhenjiang Imperial Front Army had already died in yesterday's battle.

One of the commanders clasped his fists and saluted Li Tingzhi and Wu Shaogang.

"Envoy Li, Lord Wu, his subordinates beg to join the war, the brothers will never retreat, they want revenge...

There was already a cacophony ahead.

The herald hurried over.

"Report, the Mongolian army is ready to attack."

Wu Shaogang looked at everyone with a smile on his face.

"God help me, it seems that the Mongolian army has not received the news, and is still preparing to attack and go to the aid of Qi County, hmph, they will never have a chance to go to Qi County."

After speaking, Wu Shaogang turned his head to look at Li Tingzhi and asked with his eyes to see if Li Tingzhi had anything to say.

Li Tingzhi shook his head slightly, indicating that he had nothing to say.

"I order, with the 9,000 cavalry galloping to help, plus more than 2,000 cavalry of the Hezhou Imperial Army, and 1,000 Zhenjiang Imperial Army, a total of more than 12,000 people, to form a battle team to meet the Mongolian army."

"Cai Siwei, you are still the commander-in-chief, leading the sergeants to fight, all the soldiers who bravely kill the enemy and charge hard, must be rewarded, and those who escape from the battle will be killed."

"Yesterday our brothers suffered heavy casualties, and today we will make them pay the price of total annihilation."

The cotton cloth on the horse's hooves has been removed.

Many soldiers who had just experienced a tragic battle were in good spirits.

Wu Shaogang looked at everyone silently and slowly said a word.

"Completely wipe out the Mongol army opposite you."

。。。

The battle began instantly, and the Mongolian army, which took the initiative to attack, this time invested all more than 8,000 people, and they tried to exterminate the Song army on the opposite side as quickly as possible, in their opinion, the Song army suffered heavy casualties and had completely lost its combat effectiveness.

What the Mongol army never expected was that as soon as the battle began, they fell into the iron bucket formation, facing the cavalry of the Song army, which was more numerous than themselves.

The fighting quickly became fierce.

Although the Mongolian cavalry that rushed to the aid was a strange soldier arranged by Shi Tianze, and their combat effectiveness was very good, it was a pity that they were facing the elite army of the more brave Hezhou Imperial Army.

There is no hope of victory, and there is nowhere to go if you want to evacuate.

Dai Qianhu, who led the army to fight, was already in a state of collapse, because he heard from the mouths of the sergeants under his command that the army outside Qixian had been completely defeated by the Song army, and the whereabouts of Marshal Shi Tianze were unknown, and the 15,000-strong army was killed and captured by more than 10,000 people, Dai Qianhu originally did not believe the news, he thought that the Song army was weak and could not be so brave, but seeing the casualties of the cavalry under his command getting bigger and bigger, he couldn't believe it.

Dai Qianhu was not Shi Tianze after all, he was not so calm and not so wise, he made a terrible wrong decision and ordered the army to withdraw on all fronts, in the direction of Sizhou.

A chase battle began, the Mongolian army, which had lost its fighting spirit, rose up and fled desperately, followed by the Song soldiers who were closely in pursuit, and a large number of Mongolian soldiers fell in the evacuation.

Dai Qianhu, who commanded the battle, was shot by a cold arrow in the chaos of the retreat, fell off his horse, and caused the evacuation to turn into a real rout.
