Standing on an earthen platform and looking at Hezhongfu, this time he led nearly 50,000 Mongol troops from Pingyang to the outside of Hezhongfu, and surrounded Hezhongfu in one fell swoop. This is the tenth day that he has led his army to Hezhong Province www.biquge.info but the battle is still in a state of stalemate, and the Jin army defenders of Hezhong Province resisted extremely fiercely, repeatedly repelling the onslaught of his Mongol army, so that after the Mongol army arrived here, it could no longer advance an inch.

At the same time, it was also reinforced by the Han general Wang Kang 10,000, so that the Jin army defenders of Hezhong Mansion reached about 25,000 troops, and as soon as the Mongol army arrived, they closed the city gate and fought with the Mongol army, repelling the offensive of the Mongol army again and again.

After launching several strong attacks in a row, Ogedai failed to conquer Hezhongfu, so he made a long-term siege posture, and began to order the armies to build a high platform outside the city of Hezhongfu, constantly squeezing near the city wall, and at the same time began to build a large number of siege equipment on the spot, preparing to continue to storm Hezhongfu.

Now Wokotai has learned that the Song army is also ready for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, in order to seize the opportunity to attack the Central Plains before the Song army enters the Central Plains, so this time when he sent troops, it was different from usual, and almost mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized, not only to attack the Jin State in three ways, but also to mobilize considerable troops Chen stationed at the junction of Song and Mongolia.

Even if Wo Kotai personally led a large army to attack Hezhong Mansion, Wo Kotai did not forget to keep an eye on the actions of the Song army, before he sent troops, he felt a strong atmosphere of war, the Song army has been increasing troops towards the border after the year, which made Wo Kotai feel a little worried, and the Mongols in Bianliang also found out that the Southern Song Dynasty had issued an ultimatum to the Jin State, asking the Jin State to surrender to the Southern Song Dynasty court, but this request has been rejected by the Jin lord Wanyan Shouxu, Then it is estimated that the Song army should also start the Northern Expedition.

Sure enough, a few days ago, he learned from the reply of the scout sent to Xi'an that the Song army really began to act, this news made Wo Kotai happy and worried, the joy is that once the Song army joins the war group, then the Jin country will quickly go to extinction, their Mongol feud can finally fall, he can also fulfill the last wish of his father Genghis Khan, and better is that the intervention of the Song army will definitely disperse the Jin Guochen troops stationed in the north, so that their Mongolian army can attack the Central Plains faster and plunder.

What worries him is that he can't figure out whether the Song army's action this time is just to punish the Jin State, or whether he will turn his face with them Mongols, and whether he will use troops against the Mongols at the same time, in that case, this battle will really be a chaotic war, and he has to guard against the Song army taking the opportunity to attack the area controlled by their Mongols from the east and west, which makes him have to be distracted from the current battle situation...

On the one hand, he sent people to Liangzhou to order the defenders there to strictly prevent the Song army from attacking Liangzhou at this time, and on the other hand, he also sent people to Hebei to inform Polu to prepare to resist the Song army, in short, he had to prevent the Song army from copying their Mongol back road at this time. However, Wo Kotai still felt a little happy, because from the news sent back by the scouts, the Song army of Qin Fenglu pointed directly at the area of Huazhou and Tongguan, and he had been fighting with the Jin State for several years in this area, although he could often take advantage of it tactically, but he had not been able to break through the Tongguan Pass and attack the hinterland of the Jin State.

At present, the Song army is rushing headlong into Tongguan and Huazhou, and Wokotai has a feeling of wanting to see a good show, and also wants to see the end of the Song army crashing into the Tongguan area where the Jin army is stationed.

He wished that the Song army and the Jin army could fight in the Tongguan area! The Song army defeated the Jin army, and the Jin state was about to be finished, so he could cross the river and attack the Central Plains, and take the big cities of Luoyang and Bianliang.

The defeat of the Song army also has a lot of benefits for their Mongols, so that the Song army's sharpness in recent years can be broken, and let the Song army see that the real brave army in the world is their Mongol army, not the weak Song people.

What Wokotai wants to see most is the result that the Song and Jin countries are on par with each other in the Tongguan area, so it will be easier for him to clean up the Jin Kingdom, and by the way, he can also clean up the Song army!

Therefore, in the past two days, Wokotai stepped up the offensive against Hezhongfu, constantly changed the generals, and repeatedly launched attacks on Hezhongfu, and for a time the war in Hezhongfu became much more intense, and he wanted to take Hezhongfu before the Song army, cross the river and attack Lingbao County from behind Hangu Pass, and then attack the hinterland of the Central Plains in one fell swoop.

Today is the afternoon of April 12th, Wokotai once again came to the front line, commanded another attack on Hezhongfu, at this time outside the city of Hezhongfu shouted to kill the sky, a throwing car was transported by the Mongolian army to the outside of Hezhongfu, a team of soldiers went into battle shirtless, sweating like rain to operate the throwing car, in the sound of the gunner's horn, work together to use the strength of milk, struggle to pull the rope to pull the cannon rod, all kinds of throwing cars continue to raise the cannon rod, constantly throw stones of various shapes to the city of Hezhongfu inside and outside, smashed the city wall of Hezhongfu Gray stone flying...

The Jin army in Hezhong Mansion also tried their best to continue to counterattack, using the same method, using the throwing cars up and down the city wall as a means of counterattack, constantly bombarding the Mongolian army outside the city like ants rushing towards Hezhong Mansion, and even constantly sending people who dared to die, down the rope to the city, out of the city to launch a suicide attack on the Mongolian army's cart throwing positions outside the city, the two sides fought from morning to afternoon, almost into the level of incandescent level. Although Ogedai used nearly half of its forces to launch a fierce attack on Hezhong Province from three sides at the same time, this time the Jin army still resisted desperately as always, and the result was that the Mongol army still failed to capture the first half of the city, but suffered hundreds of casualties.

Looking at the chaotic battlefield, Ogedai pondered whether it was time to increase his strength and change a new army to go up and continue the onslaught, but several fast horses raised a slip of dust from a distance and galloped towards the earthen platform where Wokotai was located.

Ogedai also saw the fast horses, and soon they were stopped by his guards under the earthen platform, and a scout was brought up to the earthen platform in a short time.

As soon as the scout saw Ogedai, he immediately knelt down and shouted, "Great Khan! A Song army suddenly forcibly crossed the Yellow River in Hanyang Village, fifteen miles south of our army's camp, and landed on the east bank! ”

This news almost scared Wokotai to sit on the earthen platform, and Wokotai's eyes widened and he immediately asked, "What did you say?" ”

"A Song army suddenly crossed the Yellow River in Hanyang Village, fifteen miles south of us, and landed on the shore today!"

"Summons Mingjin to withdraw his troops! Get back to camp! After hearing it clearly, Ogedai immediately ordered...

With the sound of gold on the battlefield, the attacking Mongolian army withdrew from the battlefield like a tide, which made the Jin army of Hezhong Province under pressure suddenly breathe a sigh of relief.

"How many people did they come? How did you cross the river? Like a trapped beast, he walked back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back, and asked the centurion angrily.

The centurion nervously replied, "Great Khan! The little ones also inspected the area of Hanyang Village today, only to suddenly discover the whereabouts of the Song army, and saw the Song army pulling out several ropes on the river surface from a distance, a large number of soldiers are crossing the river through these ropes on a large number of rafts, and now the Song army has crossed the river with roughly more than 10,000 troops, and the small ones don't know when they started to cross the river! Originally, the small ones wanted to continue to investigate, but their scouts discovered the traces of the small ones, and sent more than 100 cavalry to drive us and others out of there, and how many Song troops would cross the river to come, and the small ones were not very clear! May the Great Khan forgive his sins! ”

"How is that possible? Why did Song Jun suddenly appear here at this time? "Wo Kotai, who had just returned to the big tent, yelled at the scout with a blue face and thunder...

The centurion, who was the captain of the scout, turned pale with fright, and did not dare to breathe when he lay on the ground, and kowtowed again and again to confess his guilt. "What do you want! Someone pulled him out and cut him down! Ogedai shouted loudly to the warrior in the tent.

The two tent guards could not help but say, went up and held down the centurion, and immediately dragged him out, and the centurion begged for mercy with a loud voice, but soon his plea for mercy stopped abruptly, and a bloody human head was sent to Ogedei, who seemed to be particularly unwilling to look at Ogedai with half-open eyes.

Wo Kotai was furious for a while, then he realized that he had lost his temper, this matter is not to blame this centurion, this centurion is only responsible for the vigilance in the south of the city, the patrol of the river bank was not within the scope of his responsibility, but by chance discovered the actions of the Song army, then rushed back to report to Wo Kotai, the result is unfortunate, the reward was not caught, but was cut off by the angry Wo Kotai. . .

At this time, Ogedai also realized that killing this centurion was a bit excessive, and he regretted it somewhat in his heart, but as a great khan, he couldn't admit that he was wrong, so he snorted coldly and said: "Treat his wife and children as slaves, if anyone dares to be so careless in the future, this person is an example!" Take out his head! ”

This centurion is really wronged, not to mention that he was unjustly killed, even his wife and children have been reduced to slaves, and there is no place to shout about this injustice.

The generals brought by Wokotai this time also heard the news at this time, and rushed to the big tent of Wokotai, standing on both sides of the tent silently, waiting for Wokotai to speak.

"Why did the Song army suddenly cross the river at this time and come to Hezhong Mansion? Can anyone tell me? After Wokotai restrained his emotions for a while, he asked the generals in the account with a gloomy face.

The big guy had just heard the news at this time, and everyone was shocked, and no one understood why Song Jun suddenly appeared here now, so no one answered Wo Kotai's words for a long time.

"What the hell is Song Jun going to do?" Wokotai was very irritable in his heart, and then asked his question, but no one answered him...

"A bunch of fools! In that case, let's go and see why Song Jun is here! Come on, carry the horse! Seeing that there was no result in asking this question, Wokotai immediately commanded.

When the generals heard this, they felt that it was only like this, so let's go and see what Song Jun wanted to do first! So the group hugged Wokotai out of the big tent, ordered 3,000 troops, and immediately escorted Wokotai towards Hanjia Village.

Everyone was silent along the way, thinking about why the Song army suddenly appeared here, what was the purpose of the Song army, and it only took about two quarters of an hour to reach the vicinity of Hanjia Village.

Hanjia Village in the distance has appeared in their line of sight, countless flags are fluttering above Hanjia Village, and a big flag in the center has a big book on the Song character of Lishu, you don't need to think about it to know that the Song army has controlled this area.

After Wokotai stopped the army, the generals dismounted to let the horses breathe, and he led his generals up a dirt slope and looked in the direction of Hanjia Village.

I saw that a large number of Song troops outside Hanjia Village were in full swing to build a camp, at least thousands of Song troops were sweating like rain digging trenches, erecting camps, and cutting down all the nearby trees, constantly piecing together deer and horses outside the camp, the prototype of a large camp has appeared around Hanjia Village, with such a scale can at least accommodate tens of thousands of troops stationed.

And Wokotai looked towards the Yellow River, only to see that all kinds of rafts on the river were constantly transporting soldiers and horses on the river, continuously transporting the Song army to the east bank of the river, a simple pontoon bridge has also been built on the river, a large number of Song troops are using this pontoon bridge to rush to the east bank of the river, and all kinds of baggage materials are also being transported to the east beach of the river through the pontoon bridge.

Although the people on the river shouted that the horses neighed and seemed a little chaotic, and from time to time there would be people and horses or materials falling into the river, causing a commotion, but on the whole, the order of the Song army's crossing of the river was quite good, and there were special people rowing boats on the river to be responsible for rescuing and salvaging the people and materials that had fallen into the water, and then transferred them to the east bank of the river.

There were full-time personnel who kept waving small flags on the river beach, gathered the Song army that crossed the river, immediately took them away from the river beach, and directly devoted themselves to the work of building the camp.

Wo Kotai gasped, such a scale of river crossing operation, he couldn't figure out how the Song army completed it, judging from the number of Song troops in the place where he could see, the Song army's strength across the river had exceeded 15,000 people, even if he launched a surprise attack now, with the 3,000 cavalry he brought, if he wanted to drive these Song troops down the river, I am afraid he had missed the best opportunity...

Wokotai really couldn't figure it out, the originally good Song army was advancing in the direction of Huazhou and Tongguan, why did it suddenly go around here and force the Yellow River to cross? What are they here for?

"Great Khan! The last general is not talented, and he is willing to lead these generals to rush over and drive these Song troops down the river! A Mongolian general standing behind Ogedai suddenly spoke up and asked for orders from Ogedei.

Although the Mongolian side sent envoys to the Southern Song Dynasty many times after the death of Genghis Khan, they were all driven back directly by the Southern Song Dynasty without exception, and then more than a year ago, the Song and Mongolia were defeated again in the battle for Qinfeng Road, and the relationship between the two countries fell to the bottom completely.

Nowadays, the two armies can be said to be enemies when they see each other, and the Mongolian generals have long regarded the Song army as an enemy, so this Mongolian general will come out to ask for an order to send troops to attack the Song army.

"I'm afraid it's too late! The Song army has already gained a firm foothold here, and even if we attack it now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat this Song army! Although Wokotai was extremely angry, his reason still occupied the peak, and he shook his head slightly.

"The Song army is just a rabble, no matter what they are doing here, they are just looking for death now! They crossed the river not long ago, it should be an unstable foothold, the Great Khan gave me 3,000 iron cavalry, I led the army to rush over to attack its left flank, as long as they dispersed their left flank, the Song army will be in chaos, as long as the Great Khan takes the opportunity to wave his army to cover up and kill, he can still drive them back into the river! This Meng general said to Wokotai with a look of disdain.

"Bastard! Barutai! You're a veteran, too! Didn't you open your eyes and take a closer look at the Song army opposite? Do they look like they don't have a firm footing? Do they look like a rabble? Can you do a better job than them in order to cross the river in this way? Don't forget, they have defeated the Song army twice! Don't underestimate them! Ogedai glared at him and scolded Barutai who was asking for battle.

Balutai was so angrily reprimanded by Wokotai, he was so frightened that he quickly knelt down, confessed repeatedly, and peeked at the Song army opposite, only to find that the Song army was really clean, in addition to a large number of soldiers rushing to build fortifications, there were also a large number of Song troops lined up neatly, making a defensive posture, there was no sign of chaos, and the Song army on both wings were deployed a lot of artillery, he had not received this thing, but he had also heard of it, it was very powerful, if he rushed over now, he really didn't know how to say it, Maybe after being bombarded by this thing, his fate won't be much better! couldn't help but feel that Barutai was sweating all over his body, and he didn't dare to hold it up anymore.

"That's it! Let them cross the river! We can't stop them now anyway! Let's go back to the camp first! After stopping and watching on the dirt slope for a long time, Ogedai regained a calm look on his face, waved his horsewhip, said to his generals, and then turned around and walked down the dirt slope, turned over and jumped on his black horse, and with a flick of the horse's head, galloped in the direction of the Mongol army camp.

The 3,000 Mongol cavalry then kicked up a cloud of dust and followed Ogedei back towards the Mongol camp.

(That's it for today, 5,000 words!) Speaking of which, I shouted to rest, and as a result, the past four days have been updated a lot more than usual! Sweat! ）
