Chapter 199: Heading North

Fu Daquan personally sat in Cangzhou these days, and the 20,000 mobile troops under his command that could be called up had already been gathered by him in Cangzhou and Xianzhou, and a large number of materials had also been assembled in Cangzhou. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoDuring this time, after the Northern Expedition of the Song Army began, the situation in the Jingdong area also suddenly became tense, although the Mongolian army also attacked gold in three ways at the same time, but the Mongols obviously expected that sooner or later the Song and Mongolia would start a war, so Polu, who presided over the East Road, also sent a lot of Mongolian troops to monitor the actions of the Jingdong Song Army, and both sides were staring at each other and were ready to fight at any time.

Yelu Xingge's Agni Army also retreated into the Jizhou camp after a year, and for more than a year, the Agni Army can be regarded as a meritorious service, creating a lot of trouble for the Mongols, fighting dozens of battles large and small, and winning more and losing less, taking advantage of the Mongols...

At least in the past year or so, the Mongols who have been robbed and killed by the Agni army alone have at least 1,000 people, the largest of which is a commander of a thousand, so that the Mongols have never been able to completely control the situation in Hebei.

The rise of the Agni Army made the Polu, who presided over the military in this area, a little anxious, and many Han and Khitan people in the area controlled by the Mongols also saw hope, coupled with the brutality of the Mongols, so that the common people in Hebei could no longer bear the oppression of the Mongols, many of them either took the initiative to defect to the Agni Army after encountering the Agni Army, followed the Agni Army, attacked and killed the Mongols everywhere, or secretly reported to the Agni Army, provided intelligence support, and helped the Agni Army collect the movements of the Mongol Army in Hebei...

In addition, many ordinary people on Hebei Road simply dragged their families and fled from Hebei at the risk of being robbed and killed by the Mongols, and took refuge in the area controlled by the Song army in Jingdong, which made the population of Shenzhou, Jizhou, Xianzhou, Cangzhou, and Dezhou, which had been looted by the war, rise sharply, and many places in the area actually controlled by the Mongols became barren land, which also made the Mongols fall into a predicament in collecting taxes in this area, and the tax system of the Mongol Khanate presided over by Yelu Chucai could not continue to be implemented in this area. The strength of the Agni Army also expanded dramatically during this year, and the strength of the original strength of only more than 2,000 people expanded to nearly 7,000 in a year, and these people were all good at riding and shooting, and basically with a little training, they could move with the Agni Army, which further aggravated the situation in the area controlled by the Mongols...

It turned out that the Mongol cavalry of more than a dozen or twenty rangers dared to swagger around, but after the repeated attacks of the Agni Army, the current Mongols are much more careful, more often they are huddled together, huddle in a group, when they go out to plunder, they do not gather three or four hundred people, they dare not travel, for fear of being attacked by the Agni Army, even so, they can not completely guarantee safety, and from time to time they will be slaughtered by the Agni Army.

With such a strange army as the Agni Army, the Mongol army has been attacking and harassing the area controlled by the Song army for more than a year, and by the fifth year of Shaoding, this kind of attack has basically disappeared...

In the past year or so, hundreds of walled forts have been built in Shenzhou, Jizhou, Xianzhou, Cangzhou, and other places, so that the walled forts can rely on each other, greatly enhancing the defense strength of these places, and another advantage is that among these walled forts, many ordinary people who fled from the direction of Hebei Road into the Song Dynasty were placed, and they were given a relatively safe place to cultivate. Although a lot of such forts were built, the number of troops consumed was not much, and only five soldiers were stationed in each village fort, led by a military commander, who was responsible for managing the affairs of the village fort and monitoring the movements of the Mongols on the west side.

Moreover, Fu Daquan also followed the method of the bow and arrow club implemented by Gao Huaiyuan in Daye County before, and set up a bow and arrow club in each village fort, and all the young and strong people in the village fort were busy farming, and the soldiers gathered them together to practice in their spare time, so that each village fort has a certain self-defense ability, once all the young and strong in the village fort are concentrated, it can become a combat force that cannot be ignored, to put it bluntly, it is to hide soldiers in the people, and there is no need to pay them food, On the contrary, the farmland reclaimed by these villages and forts can also provide a lot of food for the army, which can be said to kill several birds with one stone...

Fu Daquan is definitely not a stupid person, otherwise he would not have been able to lay such a large world for Gao Huaiyuan in Jingdong, but there was a period of time when he was a little uneasy, and his mind was more about fighting for power and profit, so he was taught a lesson by Gao Huaiyuan.

Now after a few blows, Fu Daquan has completely put away his messy thoughts, and has devoted himself to Jingdong's affairs, so when he starts to do things, he has achieved remarkable results, and even Liu Chengyi, who is in charge of monitoring him, has to admire Fu Daquan's ability during this time, and has written to Gao Huaiyuan many times, praising Fu Daquan's actions during this time, and Fu Daquan has completely regained Gao Huaiyuan's trust. At the end of March, Fu Daquan received Gao Huaiyuan's instructions, so that he was ready to attack at any time, Fu Daquan came to the spirit at once, and immediately gathered his elite soldiers to the Cangzhou area, and repeatedly practiced throughout the day, waiting for the order to attack all the time.

On April 29, Fu Daquan finally waited for Gao Huaiyuan's order, and he jumped up and shouted: "Come on, beat the drum and raise the tent......"

On the morning of the second day of the first month of May, the Cangzhou camp, a large flag painted with a flying tiger pattern was waved in the hands of a tall flag-bearer, a team of cavalry rushed out of the camp with the banner, and 15,000 flying tiger soldiers followed by the road to the expedition, accompanied by 10,000 people who were recruited from the army, as their auxiliaries, and marched towards the direction of Hejian Mansion.

On the third day of the fifth month, the Agni Army rushed to the north of Xianzhou City on the order of Fu Daquan, and joined forces with Fu Daquan's department, covering Fu Daquan's main force on both wings, and quickly pounced on Hejian Mansion.

The Mongol defenders of Hejian Province also quickly learned of the Song army's actions and immediately panicked.

Although he is a Mongolian commander, there are not many Mongolian soldiers under his command, and the Mongolian soldiers and horses directly under his headquarters are only more than 300 people, and the main force guarding Hejian Mansion is 2,000 Han and Khitan people, as well as a small number of Bohai people and Jurchens.

After hearing the news that the Song army sent troops to attack Hejian Province, Qiang Kele was immediately startled, he knew that the strength of the Song army had become stronger and stronger in recent years, and these Song troops guarding the northeast of the country were also very strong, he himself had led the rangers to invade the Cangzhou area many times to plunder, and two of them almost did not return to Hejian Province, and the Mongolian soldiers belonging to his headquarters had lost at least half of the Song army in the past few years, so that now he didn't even think about the Cangzhou robbery.

It's not that they didn't guard against the Song army attacking their Hejian Mansion, and his master Polu had already expected the Song and Mongolian wars, but now Wokotai is attacking the Central Plains in three ways, and has taken away a large number of elite troops from the Jingdong Polu Department and put them into the war against Jin, so that the Mongolian army in Hebei and other places is very empty, and all that can be used is some troops with weak combat effectiveness, and the strength of Hejian Mansion is not enough to fight the Song army to the death...

After receiving the news of the reconnaissance cavalry, Qiang Kele immediately sent a message to Yanjing to ask for help from Polu, who was stationed in Yanjing, but without waiting for Polu to react, the Flying Tiger Army only took three days to reach the city of Hejian Mansion, and surrounded Hejian Mansion in half a day.

Jonkle is also a warrior, knowing that it is not a way to trap and defend the city, so he selected five hundred elite horsemen in the city, directly killed the south gate, and rushed towards the Flying Tiger Army...

Qiang Kele originally planned to take advantage of the Song army's unstable foothold to break up the Song army's array first and hit the morale of the Song army, but he didn't think that the Song army was not a Jin army now, and he could be bullied by them.

As soon as Fu Daquan led the army to stop outside the city, he saw a Mongolian cavalry bravely rushing out of the city, so he did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the formation and transferred Yelu Xingge, so that he led the army to counterattack and defeat the Mongolian cavalry in Hejian Province.

"Haha! Leave this matter to the last general! The end will ensure that they will not return! Agni Forward Battalion! Follow Lao Tzu! Let these Tartars also see the power of our Flame Army! The tall, coarse-looking and fierce Brother Yelu Xing took off his horse lance from the saddle while dealing with Daquan's order, clamped the horse's belly with both legs, and then rushed out with a roar.

Immediately following Yelu Xingge, nearly a thousand cavalry wearing red cloaks rushed out from the left side of the Chinese army, and floated towards the Mongolian cavalry rushing towards the opposite side like a burning cloud, and these cavalrymen roared loudly one by one, waving the swords and guns in their hands.

"Look at the fire army, it's still a cavalry majesty!" An infantryman standing at the front of the queue looked enviously at the back of the Flame Army soldiers who were charging on horseback, and couldn't help but mumble in a low voice.

"Hmmm! Yes, there is a little! But we're not bad, don't look at us as infantry, compared to their fire army, it's only stronger than not, don't believe you let the Tartars rush at us to try, our spears are not vegetarian!! However, this battle made the Flame Army the first to take the lead! A small colonel standing next to him also whispered after hearing his words.

"Shut up! Just look at it! There will be a battle for you in the future! Are you afraid that you won't have military achievements? Quiet! One of the generals standing on one side of the queue heard the discussion of his soldiers and immediately shouted loudly.

The soldiers in the team immediately closed their mouths, looked at the battlefield with wide eyes, and involuntarily tensed their bodies one by one, and firmly clenched the guns in their hands.
