The scouts sent by Zhang Rou finally proved all the news, Liu Yuanzhen, the former Chengdu Fulu Army, was beheaded by the Song army, and nearly 60,000 new annexed troops stationed in Chengdu Fulu were almost wiped out, and many Fuzhou counties to which Chengdu Fulu and Lizhou East Road belonged were all captured and occupied by the Song army.

This was a rare failure of the Mongol court, and it can also be said that it was a failure that had never been seen before.

Claw and Wuliang Hetai both remembered a person, this person was the deputy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty Sichuan system, the Chengdu Fulu Defense Envoy, and the Chengdu Prefecture Governor Wu Shaogang, who remembered the Hezhou Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty.

It is said that suffering such a fiasco, it is necessary to think carefully about the combination of Claw and Wuliang, at least the news they got proved the courage of the Hezhou Imperial Army, and with the 50,000 troops led by them, whether they could completely defeat or even defeat the Hezhou Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty, but such a situation did not appear.

After learning the accurate news, the claw and Wuliang Hetai were like thunder, they didn't believe such news from their hearts, and in their subconscious, they began to suspect Liu Yuanzhen, either Liu Yuanzhen had the intention of defecting to the Great Song Dynasty, but stealing chickens and rice was not successful, or Liu Yuanzhen was too imbecile, and blind command led to a big defeat.

Without him, both Claw and Wuliang have a fixed understanding, that is, the Song army is weak, and it is impossible to really defeat the army of the Mongol court, not to mention facing the Mongolian iron cavalry, even in the face of the new annex army, most of the time it is a big rout.

Claw Du and Wuliang Hetai categorically rejected Zhang Rou's suggestion to continue reconnaissance and wait for an opportunity to attack, and only after writing a report to the Great Khan Kublai Khan and reporting the situation of Chengdu Fu Road, he led the army to enter Xingyuan Mansion in great strides.

The Song army stationed in Xingyuan Mansion fled and did not resist at all.

The scouts personally dispatched by Wuliang Hetai quickly went to Bazhou and other directions to reconnoitre.

There are two routes for the army to march, one is to pass through Bazhou, Langzhou, directly into Tongchuan and other places, to attack Chengdu Fucheng, and the other route is to pass through Lizhou, Longqingfu, Dezhou and Hanzhou, and attack Chengdu Fucheng.

The scouts reconnoitred important information, there were a large number of Song troops stationed in Bazhou Prefecture, and there were also Song troops moving in the direction of Bazhou Prefecture, so they should all be preparing to enter the prefecture city.

This information prompted the Claw and Wuliang Hetai to quickly make a decision that they would attack from the direction of Bazhou, defeat and annihilate the Song army stationed in the capital of Bazhou, and then attack in the direction of Chengdu Fucheng.

The 50,000 army was quickly divided into two roads, an army composed of 10,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, led by Wuliang Hetai, their main task was to completely annihilate the Song army that had not yet been able to enter the city of Bazhou, and after the annihilation of these Song troops, they rushed to the city of Bazhou to participate in the battle of attacking the city, and the other 40,000 troops, led by Claw Du himself, assisted by the deputy marshal Zhang Rou, surrounded and attacked the city of Bazhou, and completely annihilated the Song army waiting in the city.

The task of the scouts is not easy, they need to carefully reconnoiter the movements around them, to see if there is a Song army that has come to help, if there is a Song army that has come to help, they must quickly report to the deputy marshal Wuliang Hetai, and these Song troops who came to help will naturally be trampled by the iron hooves of the Mongolian iron horsemen.

After deciding on this battle plan, the claw capital and the Wuliang platform quickly began to move.

At this point, Zhang Rou, the vanguard officer of the former army, has completed his mission, and the next step is to assist the commander in the battle.

Beginning on August 20, the Mongol army marched in two ways, the 10,000 Mongolian iron cavalry led by Wuliang Hetai arrived at the city of Bazhou in only two days, and the 40,000 army led by Claw Du all set off and galloped in the direction of Bazhou City, according to the requirements of Claw, the army must arrive within four days and completely surround the city of Bazhou.

Zhang Jue has already entered the Bazhou Prefecture City, and the Imperial Army of Xingyuan Mansion under his command, the last two thousand troops, that is, the army responsible for transporting grain and grass, will also enter the Bazhou Prefecture City in two days at most.

The scouts sent had already detected the news that the Mongol army had occupied the city of Xingyuanfu.

According to Zhang Jue's analysis, the Mongolian army occupying Xingyuan Mansion may take a little rest and discuss the next battle plan, so that the Mongolian army will arrive in Bazhou Prefecture in four to five days at the earliest.

Based on this judgment, Zhang Jue did not urge the 2,000 sergeants who transported grain and grass to speed up the march.

This mistake made Zhang Jue unforgettable for the rest of his life.

On August 21, the scouts rushed to report that the cavalry of the Mongolian army had appeared in Bazhou, and they were real Mongolian iron cavalry.

Hearing the scout's report, Zhang Jue's face turned pale and his body trembled, and he urgently ordered the scout to go to the direction of Zengkou to inform the army transporting grain and grass to speed up the march and be sure to arrive at the capital of Bazhou within one day.

gave the order, and seeing the scout leave the state city, Zhang Jue's heart began to hang.

Two days later, on the 23rd of August, only two of the ten scouts sent out, both with thick blood stains, returned one of them and closed his eyes forever before he could speak, and the other of the scouts rested for two hours before he spoke slowly.

Listening to the scout's report, Zhang Jue's body trembled and he couldn't speak.

Zhang Jue's prediction was good, the Mongolian iron cavalry did not come directly to attack the city of Bazhou, but operated on the periphery, to put it bluntly, it was to clear the Song army on the periphery, so that the rest of the Mongolian army could concentrate on attacking the city of Bazhou.

Before the scouts arrived at Zengkou, they met the army carrying grain and grass to the state city of Bazhou, and after learning of the situation, the commander was also anxious, and ordered the army to speed up the march and arrive at the state city before dark.

It's a pity that they will never be able to reach the state city.

The thunderous Mongolian iron cavalry has long been eyeing them.

The tragic battle unfolded under the sudden situation, the Mongolian cavalry charging over in all directions, the rain of arrows in the sky, the sergeants transporting grain and grass, and even had no time to do much resistance, most of the sergeants fell under the rain of arrows, and a small number of sergeants wanted to rush out, but their speed was far inferior to the Mongolian cavalry, and in the process of fighting, they fell one after another.

Ten messenger scouts also joined the fighting group.

These scouts are also the elite of the imperial armies of Xingyuan Mansion, but unfortunately their strength is too weak, and they are not worth mentioning in front of tens of thousands of Mongolian army iron cavalry.

The leading scout found that the situation was wrong, and knew that the destruction of the army was a sure thing, so he ordered the rest of the scouts to get out quickly, and use all their strength to rush out to report to the state city.

Of the ten scouts, only two rushed out, and they were killed when it was getting late.

With their familiarity with the road, the two people, who were covered in injuries, rushed in the direction of Bazhou City.

After listening to the scout's report, Zhang Jue sat down in a chair.

Not to mention the loss of grain and grass, the two thousand soldiers disappeared in this way, and were beheaded by the Mongol iron cavalry, and not even a single one escaped.

Zhang Jue regretted his mistake, but unfortunately he didn't regret taking the medicine, and the matter had come to this point, so he had to stick to the city of Bazhou.

Previous deployments were all disrupted.

Zhang Jue's original plan was to send 10,000 soldiers to camp five miles outside Bazhou City, and fight face-to-face with the Mongolian army.

This time, Zhang Jue still has good confidence, after all, there are nearly 30,000 soldiers in the city, and most of the people have already been evacuated, and there is almost no drag.

Unexpectedly, before any deployment could be implemented, the 2,000 sergeants transporting grain and grass were completely annihilated. On the one hand, it shows that the Mongolian army's actions are too fast, and on the other hand, it also shows that the Mongolian army's combat effectiveness is terrifying.

Zhang Jue felt afraid, if he really arranged 10,000 soldiers to camp outside the city, I am afraid the ending would be even worse.

That night, Zhang Jue locked himself in the façade of the house and did not allow anyone to disturb him.

The Mongolian army moved so quickly, it was indeed something Zhang Jue did not expect, and at this time, there was only one way to go by holding the city of Bazhou.

However, this time the situation is different, how did the Hezhou Imperial Army arrange, whether they would come to help, when to help, all of this Zhang Jue did not know, although he still had 25,000 soldiers under his command, but the walls of Bazhou City were not so strong, and after the last battle, some places were not completely repaired.

If the city is broken by the Mongolian army, what kind of outcome will it face, Zhang Jue doesn't need to think much to know.

At this time, thinking about leading the army to retreat to Pengzhou or Langzhou is self-defeating.

It was finally dawn.

Zhang Jue, who had not slept all night, appeared in the lobby.

The guards entered the lobby, looked at Zhang Jue's face, and lowered his head to report.

"My lord, there are Mongolian troops outside the city...

Zhang Jue didn't have any expression on his face, he had already thought of this, the Mongolian cavalry entered Bazhou two days ago, and the infantry must be close behind, since the task of the cavalry is to clear the Song army on the periphery, then the task of the infantry is to encircle and attack the city of Bazhou.

Zhang Jue, who had already made up his mind, spoke immediately after the personal guard finished reporting.

"Inform me that all the officers above are going to come to me."

。。。

Hundreds of people stood in the lobby as well as in the front yard.

Zhang Jue looked at everyone and spoke with a stern face.

"Brothers, yesterday we transported grain and grass of two thousand brothers, was attacked by the Mongolian Tatars, no survivors, today the Mongolian Tatars surrounded the state city, what should we do next, all the brothers know, I don't need to say more, among you, some of you participated in the last battle to defend the state city, and there are many brothers, follow me to defeat the Mongolian army, this time, we also have to do our best to defeat the Mongolian Tartars who invaded my Great Song Dynasty."
