Polu summoned his men to the big tent to discuss how to deal with the Song army, and these people talked about everything, and in the end, Li Tianzuo's words were adopted by Polu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Li Tianzuo's bastard suggestion was to send a small number of cavalry to the direction of Enzhou to cut off the grain route of the Song army and prevent the Song army from being replenished with grain and grass, so that the Song army should be in a hurry and would take the initiative to come to fight the Mongolian army.

Polu felt that Li Tianzuo's words were reasonable, so he immediately sent a team of 1,000 people, led by a subordinate, to go out to the road in the direction of Enzhou and Jizhou, and intercept the Song army's baggage team at any time.

Then Polu also mobilized a large army, marched to the northwest of the Song army's camp, set up the camp, and formed a confrontation with the Song army.

Looking at the neat and rigorous Song army camp from afar, groups of Song troops struggled to dig trenches outside the camp, and set up a large number of antlers and horses outside the camp.

The more Polu looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and immediately ordered a thousand-man team to be sent to attack and harass the Song army's operations around the Song army's camp and create trouble for the Song army to strengthen the camp.

And he also began to regret it, he should have launched a fierce attack on the Song army when the Song army came to gain a foothold, and directly forced the Song army to fight a decisive battle with him, but because he wanted to defeat the Song army under the city of Jizhou, the defenders of Jizhou City watched their reinforcements be defeated and lost the fighting spirit to continue to defend, so that before he left, he could take Jizhou City and save some face, but because of this, he delayed the fighter plane, so that the Song army easily set up a position here, and the Song army camped down, He wanted to capture the Song army camp again, but it would be difficult to do, the Song army carried a lot of sharp heavy weapons, and their camp was very solid, everywhere were facilities to defend against the impact of the Mongol cavalry, there was no opportunity for them to take advantage of, if the Song camp was attacked now, it was basically the same as attacking Jizhou City, and it might even cause them greater losses, so if the Song army did not take the initiative to attack, then their attack should be said to have very little hope of winning.

Polu is also an experienced general, from the Song army's camp to see that the opponent is indeed very powerful, the whole camp is arranged into a wheel array style, it can be said that the arrangement is not leaky, the outermost layer is a number of just dug out of the trench, deer, horse rejection and other things, the camp is a wall densely built with logs one zhang high, there is a line of defense composed of various vehicles on the inside, and several corners of the camp are building a high platform, you can include the entire outside of the camp into their monitoring range, There were no dead spots to speak of, and even all the trees within a mile or two of the camp were cut down, widening the sentinel's field of vision, leaving the Mongol army without a chance to take advantage of it.

And a small river passed through the Song army camp, and ensured that the Song army camp would not be short of water, so when Polu regretted his decision, the Song army had already firmly established his footing, and Polu was only angry, but he had no way to take the Song army.

So Polu began to send people to the front of the Song army camp to call the enemy to scold the array, wanting to provoke the Song army to come out and fight with them, but for three days in a row, the Song army seemed to have not heard it, and did not go out of the camp to fight at all, so that his men worked in vain for three days, watching the Song army build several high platforms in the camp, and placed several bed crossbows on it, in addition, the Song army continued to strengthen the camp, and built an earthen platform outside the wall, constituting a more solid line of defense, The arrow towers in the camp were erected one after another, and a tight three-dimensional fortification was completely constructed.

What made Polu even more angry was that the Song army didn't know what method to use, but they actually found out that they were stationed outside the Song army camp at night to attack and disturb the Song army's camp out of the 1,000-person team, taking advantage of the night, quietly sent more than 2,000 elite soldiers, in the second half of the night when the wind was dark and high, they attacked the Mongolian army's 1,000-person team, and the Mongolian army's 1,000-person team outside the camp was hiding in a forest to rest, and they didn't expect the Song army to suddenly attack them in the middle of the night, but when they found out, it was too late to react. The Song army, which was attacked by the sneak attack, was defeated and fled, losing hundreds of lives, even half of the war horses, and was pulled back to the camp by the Song army.

This incident made Polu and the generals in the army very angry, and the original plan to attack the Song army head-on, but it turned out that the other party played them like rats, and the initiative was not only not controlled by them, but it became the final say on whether to fight or not.

Of course, this is not to say that Gao Huaiyuan and his gang are the gods of war, and they can expect everything that happens, when they arrived outside Jizhou City, they were already ready to fight hard with the Mongolian army, and even the soldiers and generals have been properly deployed, that is, they are ready to meet the thunderous and rainstormy attack of the Mongolian army.

The result is indeed they did not expect, the Mongols this time showed surprisingly sluggishness, Chen soldiers outside the city of Jizhou, gave them nearly two days to camp, only to let them set up the camp without danger, until they have erected the wall, Polu led the troops belatedly, Chen soldiers in the northwest of the Song army camp, what is even more ridiculous is that Polu still did not immediately launch a fierce attack on the Song army, but only sent a small number of soldiers and horses, attacked their soldiers and horses out of the camp to cut wood, and on the other side sent people outside the camp to scold the formation, trying to provoke the Song army to abandon the barrier of the camp, Go out and fight them.

This is not the style of the Mongolian army at all, even Gao Huaiyuan himself felt that Polu's reaction this time was incredible, and he was too indecisive, so that he wasted a few days in vain, allowing the Song army to build the camp more and more solid in an orderly manner, so that the Song army completely gained a firm foothold outside Jizhou City.

In fact, Gao Huaiyuan did not fully understand Polu's situation, the reason why Polu did this was that he had set up preparations to meet the Song army outside Jizhou City, and he did not expect that the Song army would suddenly stop and build a solid camp not far from Jizhou City, and did not go straight to Jizhou City, which surprised Polu and them, so that Polu missed the great fighter.

The second is that Polu does have a hard time, and he has been impressed by the Song army because of the defeat of Shi Bu, and he does not dare to take the risk of desperate troops to take the initiative to seek a decisive battle with the Song army, and on the surface, Polu's strength is not weaker than the Song army, but most of the people in the Mongolian army are Zhang Rong's department, and Zhang Rong's betrayal of the Song Dynasty and Mengmeng's move can be said to be unpopular among the generals under his command, so Zhang Rong's generals came to attack Jizhou City this time, showing no fighting spirit, and their combat effectiveness is very poor, and they are often passive and slacking off to kill time.

This is also Polu's biggest scruples, he did not dare to call Zhang Rong's subordinates to attack the Song army, for fear that after the battle, Zhang Rong's troops would mutiny on the battlefield and come to a defection, in that case, he would definitely suffer from the enemy on his back and collapse without a fight, which is also the main reason why Polu did not dare to take the initiative to attack easily, so that he watched the Song army rebel and gain a firm foothold.

And the soldiers and civilians in Jizhou City also learned the news of the arrival of reinforcements near Jizhou City at this time, and once again ignited hope, so that the morale of the city was boosted, and began to beat drums and shout on the city tower, although they knew that the city had run out of ammunition and food, but Polu did not dare to remove the siege of Jizhou City, God knows if the defenders in the city would go crazy, and suddenly run out and give them a Jedi counterattack? And that Zhang Shi in the city is now a demon in their eyes, and the people outside the city can't figure out what they rely on for holding on for so long.

The sudden change in the situation made the Mongolian army, which had taken the initiative, fall into an unprecedented passivity, and also made Polu a little out of proportion. With his current strength, if he wants to break through Jizhou City or the Song army camp in a short period of time, it is an impossible task for Duji! Withdraw? How can you explain to the Great Khan when you go back in such a gray way? Where should his face be placed?

So he could only hope that the Song army would run out of food by itself, and he couldn't hold on, so he came out to fight with them, but the soldiers and horses sent out to cut off the grain route of the Song army sent people back to report to Polu, saying that they had been cruising on the road to Enzhou for several days in a row, and they didn't even see a single figure of the Song army, let alone the baggage battalion that intercepted the Song army's grain transportation.

Only then did Polu figure out that the Song army came over this time, and the preparations were very sufficient, and the grain was very abundant.

Speaking of the battle of Yuhe Ferry, before they won the scheme, they robbed a lot of Song army's baggage vehicles, but Polu later learned that the Song army attracted them to the bait of these heavy grain and straw vehicles, which were simply fake, and the big cars were all rags, and the cars were loaded with some sand and straw.

It seems that in a short period of time, his attempt to force the Song army to run out of food and fight to the death with him has only been declared shattered, the Song army can afford it, but he can't afford it, he has led the army out of the time has not been short, and the soldiers and generals under his command have not grabbed anything valuable for this period of time, and gradually began to have some war-weariness, and they don't want to continue to stay here to waste time, and when they sent troops, they planned to rely on looting to solve the problem of supply, but since they hit Jizhou City, They were so staggered that their supplies became more and more difficult, and they had already ransacked the places that could be grabbed around them several times, and it could be said that Jizhou City had become red land within a radius of dozens of miles, and it was impossible to grab food at all.

Relying only on the grain and straw provided by Zhang Rong to support the actions of so many of them in Jizhou City, Zhang Rong was already complaining, and repeatedly begged Polu to solve the problem in Jizhou as soon as possible, so as to reduce his pressure, and now even if he put a knife on Zhang Rong's neck, Zhang Rong can no longer take out more grain to support their continued actions in Jizhou City.

And now it has entered the early summer, it is the time of green and yellow, there is still at least a month before the wheat harvest, and the farming where they have passed has been greatly destroyed, it can be said that there is no one to farm, and if it continues to be consumed, he himself will run out of grain first.

So under such circumstances, Polu had the idea of retreating, but he didn't want to leave so gloomy, but after discussing with the generals for a while, he finally made up his mind.
