With an unruly face, the Mongolian messenger locked his eyes on the tall Song army general in front of him, then pursed his lips, reached out and touched the beard on his chin, and said to Gao Huaiyuan:

You are Gao Huaiyuan, the coach of the Song Army! I am sent by the king of Polu (the son of Polu from the throne of his father, called the king), I have come here to recruit you and others, our prince said, you are now surrounded by our Mongol army, there is no way out, my king advises you to wait, it is better to surrender quickly, my king is kind, but do not kill you, only leave you as a slave! I advise you to surrender!

As soon as his words fell, there was a sound of drawing knives around him, and then many Song soldiers and generals scolded: Fart! Damn looking for death! This guy is so disrespectful to the handsome, kill him!

And Li Ruohu was even more angry, and as he spoke, he stepped forward and wanted to chop the Mongolian messenger with a knife. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Retire! Calm down! There are still rules for the two countries to fight each other! We are the teachers of the Great Song Dynasty, how can we see these barbarians? Gao Huaiyuan sneered and stopped the people who wanted to kill the messenger.

After everyone listened, they put away their knives and sheathed them and retreated to the sides, and the Mongolian messenger was also hard, without showing any fear, still standing straight, staring at Gao Huaiyuan's face, waiting for Gao Huaiyuan's reply.

Gao Huaiyuan admired this guy's courage, slowly walked up to him, and said to him: You go back and tell Polu that I, Gao Huaiyuan, am a minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and these generals under my command are all loyal ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, and they can only die standing up, and it is impossible to live on their knees! If you have the ability, we are here waiting for you to kill you, but in my opinion, I am afraid you don't have the ability to do so!

Originally, there was nothing to do with Song and Mongolia, and it could even be said that it was a friend, but you blatantly invaded the realm of my Great Song Dynasty, so it caused our two armies to turn against each other, you had better tell Polu when you go back, this place is the realm of my Great Song Dynasty, please ask him to quickly lead the troops back to the grassland, our well water does not violate the river water, but you can also be a friend, if he refuses to withdraw the army, then as long as we still have one person alive, we will never allow you to wait for half a step into the Song realm!

Not only Jizhou City, but also the land of Hebei is the homeland of my Great Song Dynasty, I will lead the troops to recover them one by one, if you are still in trouble, then we will be blamed for turning our faces!

Surrender is impossible, and if the prince of Polu is willing, we can see Zhenzhang again tomorrow and see what is so powerful about your Mongol army! Please come back! I don't send it!

After hearing this, the messenger rolled his eyes angrily and scolded: What a bad thing, our prince let you surrender without killing, it is already a grace, and you Han people, how can you be the opponent of our Mongolian army, you are simply looking for death

Before he could finish his words, an unusually crisp slap sounded on the spot, and then the army saw that the Mongolian messenger flew upside down like a kite with a broken string, and fell headlong to the ground, and a dog gnawed on, knocked out one of his front teeth, and his lips were torn, and his mouth was covered with blood.

Gao Huaiyuan withdrew his slap at this time, rubbed it on the top of his battle robe and sneered: This is a punishment for your disrespectful words, don't think that if you are a messenger, I won't dare to touch you! This slap is for you to remember, when you see us Han people in the future, show a little respect, and then dare to talk nonsense, see if I pull out your tongue raw! Get the hell out of here!

This messenger was talking fast, and he also saw Gao Huaiyuan's movements, but there was no room to dodge, watching Gao Huaiyuan's slap infinitely enlarge in his eyes, and finally landed firmly on his cheeks, and then he felt like he had been knocked down by a mad cow, and flew out in a daze, because Gao Huaiyuan's slap was too fast, and he almost fainted on the spot.

Before this guy woke up from his dizziness, several Song soldiers dragged him up, dragged him out of the Chinese army like a dead dog, and then directly threw him out of the formation, and even confiscated the war horse for him, so he walked towards the Mongolian army camp on foot.

When Polu heard the messenger's words, he immediately became dizzy with anger, and after ordering him to go down, he immediately summoned his generals to discuss the matter.

The Song army deceived me too much, and actually insulted my envoys, it is really a crime that cannot be punished, you wait and prepare immediately, tonight we attack the enemy at night, and the enemy army cannot see clearly at night, it is the time for us to break the enemy! Polu instructed his generals.

The generals naturally responded in an uproar and went down one after another to start preparing.

The Mongolian generals had very low logistical needs, and each of them immediately carried a skin bag made of cow bladders, which contained meat floss, and a skin bag containing sour mare's milk, which almost did not need to be buried in the pot to make rice, and they could easily solve the problem of stomach, and their food was very calorcape, and a small amount of food could allow them to maintain their physical strength in battle.

And their war horses are also Mongolian horses, they can maintain their physical fitness only by relying on rough food, whether they are people or horses, they are very hard-working, so although after a day of fierce fighting, the Mongolian soldiers are still in good spirits, as soon as they heard that they were going to attack the Song army at night, they hurriedly fed some coarse grain to the war horses, let the war horses rest for a while, and they also ate something casually, and they were ready to set off.

The situation of the Song army was very bad, due to the lack of water, the officers and soldiers were thirsty and unbearable, not to mention the food, it was impossible to bury the pot to make rice, so they could only eat a little dry food carried on their bodies, and swallow it with spit, but fortunately, there was roasted horse meat to make do, so that they could barely eat their stomachs.

After driving away the envoys of the Mongol army, although the generals were happy, Gao Huaiyuan was still very worried, and after he bowed his head and counted them, he also recruited the generals in front of him and said to them:

Today's defeat is the fault of this commander, because I did not expect that Polu would actually use Zhang Rong's department as bait to lure our army into pursuit, and so on to this day I am ambushed.

But the matter has come to this, and when it is not the time to hold responsibility, we must hold on here for two days, attract all the Mongol troops, buy time for the other armies to get out, and try to hold off the Tartars and reduce the losses of our army!

Tonight I have driven away the Mongol messengers, and I am expected to provoke the fury of the Polu, who is likely to take advantage of the night to launch a surprise attack on our army, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the princes and soldiers to rest tonight!

This battle should be the most dangerous battle after we send out our troops, and if our army is a little relaxed, there is a possibility that the whole army will be annihilated! I hope you must be careless, you will work hard tonight, you and all the soldiers and soldiers will be divided into two shifts, take turns to rest, and strictly prevent the Mongolian army from sneaking up on our army's main array.

Let the soldiers quietly dig some traps in front of the formation, take out the Luoyang shovels we prepared before, send the soldiers to dig as many traps as possible between the rejection of horses and the chariot formation outside the formation, and let them taste the bitterness if the Mongolian army wants to sneak attack!

Also, collect some fire oil, sprinkle it on the branches outside the formation, and once you find a sneak attack by the Mongol army, you will release rockets to stop the enemy with fire barriers!

In short, the longer we hold out, the more powerful we will be against our army, and the more our other armies will gather, and when the Tartars are tired, it will be the time for our army to defeat the enemy!

After hearing this, the generals nodded their heads in agreement, and then according to Gao Huaiyuan's assignment, they each began to make arrangements.

The soldiers and horses who were ordered to rest lay on the ground, and after a tiring day's work, they did not care about the dew on the grass at night, and soon fell asleep, while the other part of the soldiers began to follow the instructions and quietly busy outside the battle.

The Luoyang shovel used to be just a tool used by tomb robbers to explore ancient tombs, but now it has been creatively adopted by Gao Huaiyuan and has become a tool carried by the army, in order to guard against the cavalry of the Mongolian army.

These tools are all allocated to a small number of soldiers of the army, when pressed on the other side of the handle of the gun, turn around and poke a few times on the ground, you can dig a small pit about a foot deep, and the caliber of the Luoyang shovel is made to be just a little larger than the horse's hoof, and it is very effective to dig a horse pit.

In fact, this damage trick was not thought of by Gao Huaiyuan, but a soldier who had been a tomb robber came up with it, and when he was a tomb robber, he was very familiar with the use of Luoyang shovel, and he had seen the scene where they used the Luoyang shovel to dig into the horse's hooves and break the horse's legs.

When Gao Huaiyuan practiced the attack and defense of the cavalry in the army, this soldier dedicated this strategy to Gao Huaiyuan, and after using it, it was very effective, as long as the number of people was sufficient, in a short time, he could dig a dense small trap in front of the infantry formation.

And from a distance, as long as the ground is a little grassy, you can't see the existence of this kind of pit, it can be said that it is a very bad trick, but the war does not talk about anything yin or yin, as long as you can defeat the enemy, it is a good tactic, so the person who offered the plan should be rewarded by Gao Huaiyuan, so the soldiers under his command are now very active, and from time to time they will figure out some damage tricks to defeat the enemy, as long as it is practical, they will often be rewarded.

In order to cover their movements, the officers also deliberately let some soldiers babble loudly, and extinguished a lot of torches, in case they were discovered by the Mongol Tatars.

However, the Mongolian soldiers still discovered the movement of the Song army, and looked at the figures of the Song army from a distance, but they didn't know what they were doing, and thought that the Song army wanted to break through at night, so they quickly turned around and went back to report to Polu.

After Polu heard this, he immediately ordered to closely monitor the movements of the Song army, and stopped the raid of his soldiers and horses, he was very willing to see the Song army break through at this time, as long as the Song army array dispersed, it would be more conducive to them to encircle and annihilate the Song army at night, so the assault that was originally scheduled to be launched for the second watch was temporarily canceled by Polu, and the result was to win more time for the Song army.
