Chapter Sixty-Nine: Swinging the Pursuit of the Army
After he arrived here, he immediately asked about the various situations of the Mongolian army, from where Gao Huaiyuan roughly figured out the strength of the Mongolian army and their losses in the past few days, although he didn't know how the casualties of the Mongolian army were in attack on the county seat, but think about Huang Yan After all, he led five thousand elites to garrison Jiangli County, and the Mongolian army attacked for several days, but failed to conquer the county seat. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
According to the general law, the casualties of the Mongol army on the besieging side will be much greater than the casualties on the defending side, and at this time, the Mongol army will retreat, and it will definitely be demoralized. Once the Mongolian army has rested enough in Jiezhou, and then they go to Jiezhou to fight with the Mongolian army, I am afraid it will be difficult to say at that time, so Chen Yu heard that Ma Zhong took the initiative to ask for battle and asked to pursue the Mongolian retreat, and immediately stood up.
Without waiting for Gao Huaiyuan to agree to Ma Zhong's request, Chen Yu on the side also immediately came out and said: Lord Du Chengzhi, the last general is not talented, and he is willing to lead his troops and horses to pursue the Mongolian army, and the Mongolian army must not be allowed to retreat to Jiezhou so easily!
Gao Huaiyuan was still very happy about the two of them, after all, Chen Yu and Ma Zhong were both famous border generals in Lizhou, and in such a situation, he was willing to ask for war and send troops, which showed that his morale was available, and he didn't think much about it, but after thinking about it briefly, he thought that it was advisable to pursue the Mongolian army!
After all, the Mongolian army has suffered heavy defeats one after another, and has stormed Jiangli County, and the morale will definitely be very low at the moment, and he believes that Tuo Lei, as the leader of the army, will definitely pay special attention to cherishing the lives of the Mongolian soldiers under his command, and will preserve the strength of the main force, so he is likely to let the Mongolian generals and the Semu army as the main force evacuate this place first, and the result of this must be to let the new annex army with relatively poor combat effectiveness or the Han army act as a cover behind.
Therefore, Gao Huaiyuan also felt that sending troops to pursue the Mongolian army should be successful, at least it would be good to hit the morale of the Mongolian army, and at the same time, it would also allow these Song troops under Chen Yu and Ma Zhong to take the opportunity to experience and experience.
After making up his mind, Gao Huaiyuan nodded and agreed to the request of the two of them, and immediately ordered: The two of you can be so eager to fight, the official is very pleased, since this is the case, the official will grant your request!
Chen Yu listens to orders!
Chen Yu immediately took the battle skirt and knelt down on one knee to receive the order: The last general will take the order!
Gao Huaiyuan immediately ordered him: This official orders you to lead your Jinzhou Department to immediately rush to the outside of Jiangli County, and once it is confirmed that the Mongolian army is retreating, immediately pursue! But remember, don't fall for the tricks of the Mongols, don't go alone, just crush the enemy's rearguard!
Chen Yu immediately hugged his fists excitedly and ordered: The last general will obey the orders of the adults!
Ma Zhong takes the order!
The end will be! As soon as he heard Gao Huaiyuan point to his name, Ma Zhong, the deputy commander who belonged to Huang Yan's Prefecture Metropolitan Division, also hurriedly lifted his battle skirt and knelt down on one knee to receive the order.
This general ordered you to select 3,000 brave men under your command, and immediately send troops to pursue the Mongolian rearguard, you must cooperate with General Chen, and you must not be careless! Gao Huaiyuan instructed Ma Zhong again.
This Ma Zhong immediately nodded in agreement and took Gao Huaiyuan's order.
Yue Kun listens to orders! You immediately raise troops with your own officer, go to Jiangli County, and join General Huang's headquarters in the city, and the rest of the generals will follow your official to act together! Gao Huaiyuan commanded loudly to the remaining generals.
There was a roaring sound in the big tent, and soon the armies began to act, Chen Yu and Ma Zhong each ordered their troops and horses, and immediately set off first, rushing towards the direction of the retreat of the Mongolian army.
Gao Huaiyuan led the remaining soldiers and horses, and then pulled out the camp and rushed towards Jiangli County.
When Huang Yan learned that the Mongolian army outside the city had stopped attacking the city, he immediately stood at the head of the city and laughed: Gentlemen! I'm afraid that the Mongol Tartars don't have the strength to attack us again, and I expect that our army must have rushed to this place, and Jiangli County will have no worries!
Quickly pass my order, the cavalry in the city will immediately assemble, ready to go out of the city at any time to meet the arrival of our army, let's also go and give the Mongol Tartars a kick in the ass! Ha ha!
After saying that, a cheer immediately sounded in the sky above Jiangli County, everyone's hearts were put back into their stomachs, and countless people suddenly knelt on the ground with tears in their eyes, shouting Long live the Great Song Dynasty.
Huang Yan instructed Fei Wenlong to take over the defense of the city wall in his place, and he himself immediately turned around and went down the city, and began to gather the cavalry under his command in the city to assemble at the east gate.
My lord! The Tartars seem to have begun to retreat! The soldiers who were monitoring the movements of the Mongolian army on the city tower suddenly pointed in the direction of the Mongolian army camp outside the city and shouted to Huang Yan.
Huang Yan was slightly stunned after hearing this, and immediately laughed at the soldiers under him: Haha! It seems that I didn't guess wrong this time, our marshal must have personally led the army over, and I bet with you that the marshal must have made the Mongolian Tatars deflated again! The sons and daughters have cheered me up, recharge my energy first, go out with me later, and teach the Tartars a hard lesson! Ha ha!
Huang Yan has a very good premonition about the battlefield situation, although he was surrounded in Jiangli County, unable to get in touch with the Song army, but from the actions of the Mongolian army in the past few days, he still analyzed that it should be the main force of the Song army rushed here, with his relationship with Gao Huaiyuan, Gao Huaiyuan will definitely not let him wait here to die, so he estimated that Gao Huaiyuan personally led the army to come here and relieve the siege for him, so he made this assertion.
Although Huang Yan has been besieged here for several days, because the people in the city, especially the rich households, took the initiative to take out the food stored at home for the soldiers and civilians in the city to eat, so the city has not yet run out of food, so his cavalry has not lost anything, but Huang Yan is also very clear that if the Mongolian army surrounds this place for a few more days, then he will have to order the killing of horses.
Because the grain and grass he carried with the army have basically been used up, the war horse is more expensive than people, in addition to eating a lot of forage, he also has to feed them with fine grain, otherwise these big stomachs will soon lose weight and lose their physical strength, and their consumption is amazing, a horse may be on top of six or seven people's consumption of food, even if the food is not cut off, in order to ensure that the food in the city can last longer, he has to order to kill these precious war horses, In order to ensure that the food in the city can be supported for a few more days, if it really comes to that time, Huang Yan will probably hit the wall in distress.
But now he doesn't have to worry about this problem anymore, it seems that the Mongolian army is indeed attacked by the main force of the Song army, so he chose to give up attacking Jiangli County and evacuate here, so he saved these war horses, which may be used immediately.
Sure enough, the Mongolian army outside the city soon sent auxiliaries to the city to collect the bodies of the dead, evacuated the city wall, and then buried the bodies of the dead outside the city on the spot, and began to evacuate in the direction of Jiezhou, the original Mongolian army stationed in those barracks, also by the Mongolian army set on fire, burned, a Mongolian army lined up to look back at this small county town, some people couldn't help but look gloomy, because some of their friends or comrades-in-arms, died outside this small city, It has become a place for many Mongolian soldiers to bury, and it has also become a place for their sadness.
Huang Yan is not rampant to the extent that he has sent troops to pursue the Mongolian army, with his more than 1,000 cavalry, once he rushes out now, it is equivalent to delivering food to others, and the Mongolian Tartars who are in a hurry will not let go of such a good opportunity, and they will definitely swarm and eat them alive, he knows better than anyone else in his heart that although these days, they have resisted the siege of the Mongolian army and caused a lot of casualties to the Mongolian army, but most of these casualties are the new annexed troops of the Mongolian army and the Han army, The main force of the Mongol army did not suffer much loss, so Huang Yan did not dare to easily lead his army out of the city to pursue.
One after another, the Mongol army moved onto the official road leading to Jiezhou City, and Huang Yan kept his men in the city to monitor the movements of the Mongol army.
Until the afternoon, there was a sudden cheer from the city, and some soldiers immediately lay on the city wall and shouted to Huang Yan, who was resting near the city gate: "Commander! Our Song army has appeared outside the city! They are in pursuit in the direction of the retreat of the Mongol Tatars!
After hearing this, Huang Yan immediately turned over and got on the horse, and shouted to his subordinates who had been recuperating for a long time: "Boys, get on the horse!" Open the gates! Let's go hunt down the Tartars!
The cavalry of the Song army gathered at the city gate immediately cheered, turned over their horses one after another, and dozens of soldiers immediately lifted all kinds of debris against the city gate, squeaked and lifted the gate of the city gate, and then opened the dilapidated city gate.
Huang Yan roared, and immediately rushed out of the city gate, raised his eyes to see, and sure enough, a soldier and horse with the banner of the Song army appeared in the distance, and directly chased in the direction of the retreat of the Mongolian army.
Huang Yan also immediately led the cavalry under his command, chased the Song army, and soon met with it, only to find out that it was the soldiers and horses led by Ma Zhong, the deputy commander of the capital of the prefecture under his command, so the two sides had a brief conversation, Huang Yan learned that Gao Huaiyuan then led the army to arrive, so he and Ma Zhong chased down the rear of the Mongolian army.
Although he was not ordered to attack the county seat, he had been watching the new annex army and the Han army attack the county seat, and he still admired the Song army that could always resist their attack, but he regretted that he did not have the opportunity to fight with this Song general.
