Chapter 244: Devastating News

Zhang Jue was already desperate, and an inexplicable emotion began to come to his heart, he thought that he had been used by Wu Shaogang, and the 10,000 soldiers under his command had also become cannon fodder. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The attack of the Mongol Tatars is becoming more and more fierce, the soldiers in the city have suffered heavy casualties, it is impossible to resist for a long time, it has been six days, especially today's attack, the casualties of the soldiers stationed in the garrison have exceeded 1,000 people, the south gate has been in danger several times, and the morale of the soldiers has also slipped to the extreme, I believe that when the sun rises tomorrow, that is, the time when the city of Bazhou Prefecture is captured.

Once the city of Bazhou was captured, the loss was not only the 10,000 soldiers of the imperial army in Xingyuan Mansion, I am afraid that the emperor and the imperial court will also suffer a huge shock, what makes Zhang Jue chill is that the battle carried out in Bazhou so far is not particularly clear to the outside world, let alone arouse the attention of the emperor and the imperial court, perhaps in order to completely defeat the Mongolian Tartars and recapture Chengdu Fulu and many other places, such a price should be paid, but when it comes to the end, Zhang Jue is still difficult to really let go.

The people in Bazhou City also fell into despair, perhaps the Mongol Tatars' attack was too fierce, perhaps the casualties of the garrison soldiers were too great, or they felt the danger of the Mongol Tatars slaughtering the city, in the past two days, many people took the initiative to join the battle to defend the city, but it is a pity that these ordinary people do not have basic military qualities, even if they go to the city wall to participate in the battle, it is in vain to increase casualties.

Seeing that the sky was gradually turning white, Zhang Jue tried to stand up, and scolded a few words with hatred in his mouth.

The Mongol Tatar attack should be coming soon, and at this time, the efforts that should be done still have to be done, and the big deal is that the jade and stones are burned, but it is a pity that the people in the city will also suffer.

Liu Yuanzhen is already determined to win, and he thinks that taking the state city of Bazhou is today.

The battle to attack the city of Bazhou had lasted for seven days, and with years of experience in conquest, Liu Yuanzhen believed that the Song army in the city had no ability to resist, let alone morale.

When Yin Shi was cooking, Liu Yuanzhen made a special arrangement to add meals to all the sergeants.

The plan of attack began at the end of the day.

Liu Yuanzhen in the Chinese army tent, his expression was very pleasant, he thought that the combat arrangements were in place this time, and he believed that the Song army did not have the slightest preparation, and the army under his command acted quickly, surrounded Bazhou at the fastest speed, so that the news of Bazhou being besieged could not be transmitted, and the Song army had no reinforcements until now.

When the herald entered the tent of the Chinese army, it was already three o'clock.

Looking at the herald with a defeated face, Liu Yuanzhen didn't care much.

"Yu, report to the marshal, in the direction of fifty miles from the city of Bazhou, a large number of reinforcements from the Song army have been discovered.

"Ding Dong..."

The teacup in Liu Yuanzhen's hand fell to the ground.

He is not afraid of the reinforcements of the Song army, in terms of combat effectiveness, even if the Song army comes to help, it is not a big deal, he can completely divide the troops, and even personally lead the army to defeat the Song army that rushed to the aid, and then attack the city of Bazhou.

Liu Yuanzhen was worried about how the Song army knew that the city of Bazhou was under siege.

It should be said that the news blockade is extremely tight, there will be no leakage, and according to the information available, the main force of the imperial army of Xingyuan Mansion is stationed in Hezhou, Hezhou is far away from Bazhou, and it will take several days to come to help, even if the battle to attack Bazhou Prefecture begins, the Song army stationed in Hezhou will learn the news, and it is impossible to rush to help so quickly.

The faces of several strategists around Liu Yuanzhen also changed, and they were even more worried than Liu Yuanzhen.

"Is the reconnaissance clear, where do these Song troops come from, and how many people are there?"

"Report to the commander, the number should be about 20,000 people...

The tent of the Chinese army instantly fell silent.

The reinforcements of 20,000 people will never move casually, since they came to help Bazhou, it can only show one thing, that is, the Song army has already arranged and deployed, that is to say, the news that Liu Yuanzhen led the army to attack the city of Bazhou, the Song army has long known.

This news was too abrupt for Liu Yuanzhen, and the blow was too big.

Anyone can imagine what kind of outcome will be faced once the deployment of the operation leaks out.

The deathly silence did not last long, and in the face of such a major change, Liu Yuanzhen needed to make a decision, whether to continue to attack the state city of Bazhou, or turn around and besiege the Song army that came to help.

It is definitely not possible to divide the troops into two ways to fight, after all, the Song army rushing to the aid is full of 20,000 people, and if you are not careful, it may lead to the destruction of the battle besieging the city of Bazhou.

Liu Yuanzhen, who had slowly calmed down, looked at the herald and began to give orders.

"Order the army to postpone the attack on the Bazhou city, leave some of the sergeants to continue to besiege Bazhou, and the rest of the sergeants to encircle and suppress the Song army that came to help, and order the sergeants stationed in Langzhou and other places in Bazhou to quickly assemble in the direction of Bazhou City...

At this moment, Liu Yuanzhen can still stay awake, in the face of the 20,000 Song troops who came to help, what he is facing is nothing more than the problem of expanding the scale of the battle, this time the army that followed him on the expedition has a total of 40,000 people, in terms of the transfer of troops, Liu Yuanzhen can still think of a way.

The sudden adjustment caught many officers off guard, but fortunately, these officers are Liu Yuanzhen's henchmen, after these days of fighting, they all have the belief that they will win, although the city of Bazhou in front of them will soon be taken, turning around to deal with the Song army that rushed to help, it will let the Song army stationed in Bazhou breathe a sigh of relief, increasing the difficulty of the next attack, but the situation is pressing, they have no good way, and it is definitely not possible to divide the troops into two ways, so that it is not possible to capture the city of Bazhou, and it is difficult to defeat the Song army that rushed to help.

At two o'clock, all the adjustments of the army were in place.

Liu Yuanzhen is still sitting in the middle of the military tent, and a deputy marshal under his command led an army of 20,000 to encircle and suppress the Song army that rushed to help, and the remaining sergeants still firmly surrounded the city of Bazhou, and the scouts also urgently dispatched to Langzhou and other places in Bazhou, and dispatched the army to the city of Bazhou.

Seeing that all the arrangements and deployments were in place, Liu Yuanzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

A lot of questions come to mind, but this is not the time to investigate, defeating the 20,000 Song troops who came to help, and finally capturing the city of Bazhou is the most critical task, otherwise everything will be in vain.

I don't know what's wrong, Liu Yuanzhen suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart, and he suddenly thought of that Wu Shaogang.

When his father Liu Heima died of illness, he specifically talked about this Wu Shaogang, saying that Wu Shaogang would become a big disaster for the Mongolian court, and one day it might even collapse the Mongolian court, of course, Liu Heima's words, Liu Yuanzhen didn't particularly care, thinking that it was his father's words after he was confused, no matter how strong and brave Wu Shaogang was, it was impossible to compare with the Mongolian Khan Kublai Khan, and there were so many brave generals around Kublai Khan, where Wu Shaogang could compare.

But at this time, Liu Yuanzhen suddenly thought of these words of his father Liu Heima.

Liu Yuanzhen has always looked down on Song Jun, even if he once planted a heavy heel in Tongchuan Fucheng.

This attack on Bazhou Prefecture made Liu Yuanzhen more confident, and after several days of attacking, the Song army guarding the city did not dare to take the lead at all, and only passively took the beating.

However, how did the 20,000 Song troops who rushed to the aid arrive, to say that the city of Bazhou Prefecture was besieged like an iron bucket, and the Song army in the city could not send the news at all, and even if it was to send the news, the time calculation was not right.

Liu Yuanzhen's face was very gloomy, looking at the people around him busy.

Finally, the deputy marshal who was about to set off entered the Chinese military tent.

More than 1,000 officers, as well as many strategists, also entered the Chinese military tent.

Liu Yuanzhen, who had a cold face, listened to everyone's report on the preparations, and didn't say anything.

The atmosphere in the Chinese military tent was very depressing, no one took the initiative to speak, and no one would be willing to touch the mold at this time.

After the report, in the face of the upcoming army, Liu Yuanzhen always had to say a few words.

"You remember, you must completely defeat the Song army that rushed to help, if you can't destroy them, you come to see you...

Liu Yuanzhen was rarely so stern, so that everyone didn't dare to speak easily.

Before Liu Yuanzhen's words were finished, footsteps sounded outside the Chinese military tent again, which made everyone's expressions change.

At such an important moment, there are still people who dare to disturb it, wouldn't it be fatal.

Liu Yuanzhen's expression instantly became gloomy, and he looked at the door of the Chinese military tent.

In addition to the heralds, there were four sergeants who entered the tent of the central army.

The leader is a thousand households.

Seeing this Qianhu, Liu Yuanzhen's expression changed greatly, his face instantly turned pale, and his body began to tremble slightly.

"Yu, report to the marshal, Chengdu Fucheng was occupied by the Song army...

"Plop..."

Liu Yuanzhen sat slumped in his chair, without the slightest trace of blood on his face.

The expressions of the several strategists behind him turned pale, and they couldn't stand at all.

The Chinese military tent fell into a deathly silence.

。。。

Zhang Jue was ready to live and die with Bazhou Prefecture, but what made him feel strange was that it was already three o'clock in the morning, the sky was bright, and the Mongolian army still did not attack.

Could it be that there is something unusual in the Mongolian army, it is said that the attack should be launched at this time, and the soldiers in the city are almost unable to resist the brave attack of the Mongolian army, standing on the city wall, you can already see the trebuchet of the Mongolian army.

The waiting time is painful.

"Report, marshal, the Mongolian army seems to be retreating...

Zhang Jue stood up abruptly and walked quickly towards the city wall, because he was in too much hurry, his body even stumbled.

Under the premise of taking the advantage, the Mongolian army suddenly chose to retreat, what does this mean, Zhang Jue has a number in his heart, and there is only one possibility for the Mongolian army to evacuate, that is, the imperial army of Hezhou has occupied Chengdu Fucheng, and the news came, Liu Yuanzhen did not dare to continue to attack Bazhou Zhoucheng, but to quickly withdraw the army and go to the rescue of Chengdu Fucheng.

Wu Shaogang's campaign deployment may have been successful.

Standing on the city wall, Zhang Jue did see the large-scale retreating Mongolian army.

I don't know why, tears actually appeared in the corners of his eyes. (To be continued.) )
