Chapter 322: Slaughter

After Zhao Futang led the troops out of Jinan Mansion, the whole army sped up, remained vigilant, and sent scouts to the front many times along the way, because he heard Shi Chonggui say that the Mongolian army was very arrogant during this time, although it could not defeat Jizhou City, but it defeated Peng Yibin's reinforcements again and again, and Polu simply slowed down Jizhou City, firmly surrounded Jizhou City, and waited for Peng Yibin to lead the army to attack.

This kind of tactics is actually a typical siege of the city to help, but not a tactic invented by later generations, and the Mongolian army has a large number of cavalry, strong combat effectiveness, enough to defeat the reinforcement army, the first few Polu took advantage of it, relying on this tactic, at least ate Peng Yibin's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and even Peng Yibin was almost killed by them.

Polu, who had exhausted the bargain, was now very arrogant, leaving only Zhang Rong's servant army to besiege Jizhou City, and he divided a part of the Mongolian cavalry under his command, attacked everywhere with a small force of soldiers and horses, burned and looted everywhere in the south of Jizhou City, and slaughtered all the people he saw everywhere he passed, making the south of Jizhou City almost a no-man's land.

And he also sent some soldiers and horses, repeatedly attacked Enzhou, and never let Enzhou stop, as long as he was not careful, he might be stolen by them, and Enzhou City was taken, and they sent rangers everywhere to monitor the situation in Enzhou, as long as they encountered the scouts sent by Enzhou City, they immediately besieged and killed, so that during this time, the defenders of Enzhou City were almost blind, and they basically couldn't know the situation beyond the sight of the city wall.

What's even more annoying is that the Mongolian army is still very cunning, small groups of cavalry come and go without a trace, and the defenders of Enzhou City have also sent troops and horses several times to try to kill these nasty flies, but this group of Mongolian scouts did not face the defenders at all, and immediately retreated when they saw a large force of troops, monitoring their movements from a distance, always making them unable to catch up and fight!

As long as they encountered a small group of soldiers and horses, they immediately assembled, and with their strong combat effectiveness and incomparable speed, they quickly ate the small group of rebels, killing not a single one, so that now as long as the defenders are not more than a few hundred, they do not even dare to take a step out of the city gate.

After listening to Shi Chonggui's introduction, Zhao Futang and Li Xiaotian couldn't help but have a big headache, although they had a battalion of cavalry, but their number of cavalry compared with the Mongolian army, there were not many people at all, not to mention the quality of the war horse, the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers and other factors, the cavalry of the Song army was okay to deal with Li Quan's cavalry, but if they wanted to confront the cavalry of the Mongolian army, they did not have much chance of winning.

How to deal with this style of play of the Mongolian army, Zhao Futang and Li Xiaotian thought for a long time, but they did not come up with a good way, but when they were close to Enzhou, they experienced the power of the Mongolian cavalry.

Two days after leaving Jinan, they just left the county seat of Xiajin, and saw such a tragic scene in a village, the Song army scouts came to report, saying that a village was burning in front of them, and they saw a small group of Mongolian cavalry fleeing from the village from a distance, Zhao Futang was taken aback, there was still a short distance from Enzhou, and he did not expect that there were traces of the Mongolian army here, so he immediately led the troops to the village that the scout said, but when they entered the village, they were immediately stunned.

Most of the houses in the village have been set on fire, the faces of the people burned by the raging fire hurt, and the air is filled with a strong smell of burnt human flesh, and the roads in the village are full of the corpses of the villagers, almost all of the people's heads have been cut off, leaving only a headless corpse lying in a pool of blood, among which even the baby has not been spared, on a wooden pole, there is actually the body of a baby with a broken stomach, and the Mongols threw the baby directly on the sharpened wooden pole, The baby's body was stabbed through at once, and blood and the child's intestines flowed down the wooden pole, and the condition was horrible.

There are even some women's corpses, naked in pools of blood, some who have been disemboweled, some who have been stabbed to death, and some who have their limbs cut off, in short, the tragic scene in the village makes Song Jun in Rucun shudder, where is this what people do! It's just a beast!

They had only heard of the cruelty of the Mongols before, but they did not expect that the Mongols were so cruel to the Han people that after just looking at this village, everyone was furious.

! I'm going to scrape those Mongolian tartars, and if I don't slaughter them, I won't be able to get out of this breath! After Li Xiaotian saw it, he became furious, and said that he was going to call the cavalry to rush out of the village to pursue the evil Mongol rangers.

Slow! Don't be reckless! Zhao Futang immediately stopped Li Xiaotian.

My lord, you have also seen it, where is this done by people! It's just a beast! If we do not kill them, will we be able to appease the anger of our brethren? Li Xiaotian's face was out of shape, and he shouted at Zhao Futang.

How can I not be angry? The Mongols really deserve to die, but this time our primary purpose is to defend Enzhou, you have also heard General Shi say, the Mongol Tatars are cunning and abnormal, our cavalry is not as fast as them, this time it is too late to pursue, if you take the cavalry away, once the Mongol rangers are concentrated and besieged, will you not fall into their trap? Now I can't wait, I'll go to Enzhou to talk about it! Zhao Futang is a senior general in the end, and he has to consider the problem more comprehensively than Li Xiaotian, and he knows the importance of the purpose of this trip, so he is much calmer than Li Xiaotian.

After Li Xiaotian heard this, he gave up stupidly and gave an order, so that the army passed through the village and saw what the Mongol Tatars were doing here, so as to provoke the Song army soldiers and soldiers, and when the time came, they could fight with the enemy and kill the enemy.

Shi Chonggui has been following Zhao Futang, seeing him so calm, he nodded secretly in his heart, to be honest, he is used to seeing such a scene, during this period of time, he has seen countless villages and towns slaughtered by Mongolian cavalry, and he has long hated it to the extreme, and now it is not a bad thing to let these Song soldiers also see the ferocity of the Mongols, they don't take the tragic experience of the people of Jingdong seriously, and they don't understand the ferocity of the Mongols, and they don't work hard to kill the enemy in the future.

When the Protector Army passed through this slaughtered village, it could no longer be quiet, and many Song soldiers scolded one after another, and they were indignant to settle accounts with the Mongol soldiers.

In the end, the soldiers who passed slowed down, collected the corpses of the ordinary people in the village, and buried them on the spot outside the village, Zhao Futang, Li Xiaotian, and Shi Chonggui all paid tribute to the graves of these ordinary people, gritting their teeth and vowing to avenge them.

A few horses stood in a small forest at a distance, watching the soldiers and horses that appeared in their field of vision, led by a small leader among them, a ten-captain of the Mongol army under Polu.

Why do these soldiers and horses look so strange when they don't look like Peng Yibin? A bearded Mongol soldier said to his ten-captain.

It's a little different, this army looks much more well-behaved than the subordinates surnamed Peng, and the equipment is also good! Who can recognize the words on those flags? If you know how to read, you'll know whose soldiers and horses they are! This ten-captain was also confused, and they didn't know enough of the big characters together, and they watched this army of soldiers and horses displaying their flags, but they couldn't see why.

It's no wonder that their gang is ignorant, there is not much culture among the Mongols, they don't have their own script, except for the nobles, no one has the opportunity to recognize, especially these low-level clansmen, it is impossible to have the opportunity to get in touch with the opportunity to read and write, so each of them is a fierce warrior, but they are all completely illiterate.

A few Mongolian scouts stared at it for a long time, but they didn't see the reason, some people guessed that this army might be the soldiers and horses of the Jingdong Flying Tiger Army, but now I heard that the Flying Tiger Army is helping the Song Army to fight Li Quan, how can they still have the strength to help Peng Yibin? But if it weren't for the Flying Tiger Army, whose soldiers might it be?

They have never met the Song army, so they are not sure of the identity of Zhao Futang's soldiers and horses, but the appearance of this army of soldiers and horses made them feel a sense of crisis, and the ten-division commander was not stupid, and after thinking for a while, he immediately said: No matter whose soldiers and horses they are, in short, these five thousand soldiers and horses don't look bad, I'll go back and report to General Polu first, let's go back first!

After saying that, he led a few of his men to retreat from the small woods, avoiding the sight of the Song army, and galloped in the direction of Enzhou.

After Zhao Futang led the troops to leave Xiajin, they basically couldn't see any pedestrians on the road anymore, and occasionally passed one or two villages along the way, which were basically similar to the tragic situation of the village they had seen before, the villagers were basically killed, and their heads were cut off, and the traces of rape and adultery and plunder in the village were everywhere, and there was no need to think that these things must have been done by Mongolian rangers, so that people were filled with righteous indignation after seeing it, and their hearts were very heavy.

Zhao Futang ordered the army to shrink, and at the same time ordered the scouts to reduce the distance ahead, so as to avoid a sneak attack by the Mongol cavalry and avoid unnecessary losses.

But even so, when they were about to arrive in Enzhou, they were in trouble, and a bloodied scout rushed back to the army from the front, and before he could hold the reins of his horse, he fell headlong and rolled heavily to the ground.

Several soldiers stepped forward and hurriedly helped this scout up, and took a closer look at the scout's body with several arrow wounds and knife wounds, so they hurriedly sent him to Zhao Futang.

General Qiyu and I just encountered dozens of Mongolian cavalry, they besieged us, Qiao Yong ordered me to return to the general, he led the rest of the brothers to resist desperately, all said this, this scout burst into tears, and wept silently.
