Chapter 361: Infighting
The Song army was not happy, and the Mongolian soldiers were not happy, seeing that they were about to rush to the car formation, but they fell down one by one, and some brave soldiers got up and waved their weapons, and rushed towards the Song army's car formation on foot, but under the fierce counterattack of the Song army on the car, they were killed in front of the car.

The casualties of the two armies were very huge at this moment, no one could hide their bodies in the firelight, the Song army desperately released arrows, and one by one the Mongolian soldiers fell on their way forward, and the Mongolian soldiers' cavalry shooting also made the Song army suffer heavy casualties, many officers and soldiers fell into the array with arrows, and let out a mournful roar.
Polu saw the Song army's defense line ignited, so he personally lifted his horse forward, after a careful observation, he was taken aback, his soldiers repeatedly carried out impact and cavalry shooting, but after paying a lot of price, he still failed to break through the Song army's defense line, he didn't know what happened to his people, but the instinctive reaction was that tonight I am afraid that I will not be able to eat this Song army, he does not want his soldiers to see victory in sight, but pay a heavy price, so he hurriedly ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and wait until dawn to fight again.
The Mongolian army's assault was almost successful, several partial box trucks because of fires, after being removed, there was a gap in the Song army's defense line, and even a small number of Mongolian soldiers had rushed into the formation, but under the Song army's vigorous counterattack, they were killed one after another, and the defense line was stabilized.
After hearing the sound of the Mongolian army's gold, under the officer's order, a team of swords and axes immediately poured out of the large array and rushed to the front of those unlucky Mongolian cavalry, when the Mongolian army was charging, many people unfortunately stepped on this small horse pit, and as a result, the horse leg was broken, and the cavalry was also thrown into a mess.
Although the Mongol army had already made a golden move, they could not retreat, and the Song sabers and axes swarmed up, slashing their knives together, and dismembered the bodies of these wounded and fallen Mongol soldiers, and also let out a big breath of evil.
Then they tied the wounded horses with the prepared ropes, and ran back to the big array with the ropes, and the soldiers worked together to drag the wounded horses into the formation, and now they were short of food, and these wounded horses could not give up, so hundreds of wounded horses were not long before they were included in the Song army, leaving only the corpses of the Mongol army all over the ground.
And Huang Yan also took his cavalry back from behind at this time, each body was steaming, and there were many people with blood stains, it turned out that when the Mongolian army launched an attack just now, Huang Yan took advantage of the chaos to lead the cavalry to attack once, and a Mongolian army in the night did not expect the Song army to attack, but did not understand their identity, thinking that they were friendly troops and met them, Huang Yan ordered his subordinates not to speak, rushed over with their heads stuffy, and slashed and killed indiscriminately, disrupting the Mongolian army, The Mongols realized that it was their own enemy who rushed at them, and hurriedly stopped the resistance, but in their haste to meet the battle, it was not Huang Yan's opponents, and they were defeated and fled, losing two or three hundred cavalry.
Huang Yan also did not love war, as soon as he heard that the Mongol army was retreating, he immediately led the army to withdraw back, and also took the horses by the hand, captured more than 300 war horses, and returned to the big array triumphantly.
Gao Huaiyuan counted the losses overnight, the losses of the Mongolian army in this battle were at least about 1,000 people, and the Song army's casualties also exceeded 1,000 people, most of them were injured by the Mongolian army's arrows, the two armies can be said to be both defeated, and no one took advantage.
Polu was also counting the losses, after this counting, only to know that he had suffered a big loss, and he lost more than 1,000 soldiers and horses at once, and Polu was distressed and almost shed tears, this Song army was too cunning, and it was as smelly and hard as the stones in the pit, he couldn't beat them like this, it seems that this blitzkrieg is not going to develop into a protracted war.
However, Polu was also aroused by ferocity, and ordered to send people to collect other soldiers and horses, and they all rushed here to deal with this Song army, he was determined to eat this Song army, after all, it was difficult to trap them, and he couldn't say anything to let them escape.
And Polu also knew that the Song army was in a hurry to meet the battle, and the preparation must be insufficient, they could not have too much food and grass, and they couldn't hold out here for two or three days, not to mention that there was no river here, and the enemy army had to drink water for more than 10,000 horses, and they would collapse by themselves after two days of thirst, so he ordered to divide the troops to besiege this Song army, and no longer attack for the time being, intending to trap this Song army here.
But what he didn't expect was that the Song army also knew the problem, and dug a well to get water as soon as he stopped, although the water source is still insufficient, but at least the people and horses will not be thirsty to death, and Gao Huaiyuan also ordered Niu Datong not to stop, and continue to dig wells and get water in the army, to meet the needs of the army, in short, the water shortage of the Song army is gradually alleviating, and the morale is becoming more and more high.
At this time, Zhao Futang had just returned to the Song army camp with the Holy Protector Army, and as soon as he entered the camp, he immediately asked Gao Huaiyuan about his whereabouts, and someone immediately reported to him: General Zhao, just now two brothers broke through at the risk of death, and told me that now the marshal is leading more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to be besieged by the Mongolian army near Zhangjiazhuang in the northwest of Jizhou City! The Mongols are storming them!
Before this person finished speaking, Zhao Futang was anxious on the spot and scolded: Bastard, you know that the handsome man is surrounded, but you are still here behind closed doors, do you want to watch the handsome and their entire army annihilated? Where is Feng Dazhuang? Let him come to me! Why didn't you send troops to rescue the marshal quickly?
Hearing the noise of Yuanmen, the one who stayed behind today was a deputy general named Feng Dazhuang of the Infantry Division, and the one under his command was the Feishan Xiongjun Army of the Infantry Division, and he hurriedly ran to Yuanmen to see Zhao Futang who was furious.
As soon as he saw Zhao Futang, Feng Dazhuang was also shocked, Zhao Futang still had two carving feathers on his armor at this time, trembling and shaking, and he didn't know how he was injured, so he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists: It turned out that General Zhao was back! General Zhao should go back to the camp and rest first!
I'm not going back to camp! Less here to give me a set almost! I asked you whose surname is Feng, what do you mean by that? Knowing that the marshal was besieged, why did he refuse to send troops to the rescue until now? If you give my surname Zhao today, just make it clear, I can't tell you that Lao Tzu cut you! Zhao Futang jumped up at this Feng Dazhuang angrily as if he had taken gunpowder, pointed at Feng Dazhuang's nose and asked loudly.
Zhao Futang is the person of the front division of the palace, he is Gao Huaiyuan's descendant, but Gao Huaiyuan is the person who pulled it up, and in his opinion, Feng Dazhuang is a person from the infantry military division, and if he does not send troops to save Gao Huaiyuan today, he must be not the same as Gao Huaiyuan, so he made a mistake, and he was furious without asking clearly.
Feng Dazhuang's face was very ugly after hearing this, but he suppressed his anger, hugged his fists and said to Zhao Futang: General Zhao, where is this, is my surname Feng to see the excitement! Instead, we received an order from the marshal, who ordered me not to wait until I went out of the camp to rescue him, and I was also ordered to act, and I had no idea of watching from the wall!
At present, the people sent back by the marshal are still being treated in the medical camp, and the two of them are each seriously injured, if you don't believe it, General Zhao can ask them!
Zhao Futang paused for a moment, and hurriedly asked: This is true, Dashuai really can't let you go to the rescue?
Feng Dazhuang's face was very ugly, and he replied angrily: General Zhao, although he is a member of the infantry division, but this time he sent troops to follow the marshal, when did he ever fear war? The handsome is wise, we admire it very much, today the handsome is surrounded, if it is not for the handsome order, even if we lose our heads, we have to rescue the handsome!
Not only do the people in front of your palace respect the tall handsome, but we also respect him, how can we sit back and watch the handsome being surrounded and not rescued? General Zhao scolded the subordinate like this, which really made me unconvinced!
Li Xiaotian, who was still arguing with Zhao Futang, also closed his mouth and hurriedly asked: Why didn't Dashuai let you wait to rescue him?
Feng Dazhuang held back his anger, hugged his fists and said to Li Xiaotian: General Li is invited, and after nightfall, the marshal sent a messenger to break through and come back to order us and others, so that we and others can hold the camp in case they are taken advantage of by the Mongol Tartars, and at the same time order us to gather other routs, and after strengthening our strength, stay in the camp and stand by, ready to send troops to rescue at any time!
Not only can I not wait to go to the rescue, all those who return to the camp must follow the order, and they can only act when the commander makes another arrangement! If you don't believe me, General Zhao and General Li can go and ask the heralds who have come back from the breakout! If I have half a lie, I dare to ask General Zhao to march the law! Chop off my head!
Only then did Zhao Futang and Li Xiaotian know that they had misunderstood Feng Dazhuang, so Zhao Futang didn't care that he was higher than Feng Dazhuang, and hurriedly bowed his head and said to Feng Dazhuang: Brother Feng is angry, just now I heard that Dashuai was surrounded, and I was really anxious, and I offended Brother Feng by choosing words! I hope Brother Feng will bear with me, my Zhao Futang will apologize to you here!
As soon as he saw that Zhao Futang was willing to apologize in public, Feng Dazhuang was not angry, and hurriedly bowed down and said: Don't dare to be! General Zhao is worried about the safety of the marshal, and it is reasonable, how dare the subordinate accept such a big gift from the general! We are all following the handsome generals, although I Feng is a member of the infantry division, but I also respect the handsome person very much!
Think about our Song Jun for so many years, when have we been so proud! If you can do things with Dashuai, our brothers will have no regrets even if they die! It's just that the marshal has an order first, and the lower officials really don't dare to disobey the order, so they can only stick to the camp according to the order to prevent the Tartars from sneaking up on the camp, and General Zhao, you have just come back, so hurry up and recuperate and be ready to send troops to rescue the marshal at any time!
Fortunately, these people listened to orders under Gao Huaiyuan's account during this time, and they were already familiar with each other, otherwise, such a thing is likely to cause greater contradictions between the two armies, and both sides are understandable people, Zhao Futang will change his mistake and apologize, so that this conflict can finally be resolved safely, so that there is no chaos, otherwise, this time it is likely to cause an infighting in the Song army camp.
