The Mongol army also began to advance in the direction of Xuzhou, and fought fiercely with Meng Hui and Li Xiaotian's troops north of Xuzhou, and their intention was already obvious, that is, to eat Gao Huaiyuan's Song army first, and then seek to capture the Central Plains. Although Meng Heng and Li Xiaotian were at a disadvantage in terms www.biquge.info of strength, the two armies echoed each other and supported each other, constantly blocking the Mongol army from advancing south to Xuzhou north of Xuzhou.

The Mongol army, led by Ogedai and Tachar, continued to storm the Song defense line for seven days, but repeatedly suffered defeat under the resistance of the Song army led by Meng Hui and Li Xiaotian.

After several years of exploration, the current Song army has a lot of experience in resisting large-scale cavalry attacks, and when it comes to dealing with the Mongolian cavalry, their tactics are full of strange tricks, and all kinds of methods that can be used to deal with the cavalry have been used, what is the box car formation, the bow and crossbow, and the spear formation can be used flexibly, and it has repeatedly blocked the attack of the Mongolian army in seven days, and has killed and injured a lot of Mongolian cavalry. . .

The strong resistance of the Song army under Li Xiaotian and Meng Heng also bought a lot of valuable time for Gao Huaiyuan, who was sitting in Xuzhou.

With the efforts of tens of thousands of people, the fortifications of Xuzhou City were basically perfected, and during this time, the Song army collected nearly 10,000 stone of grain near Xuzhou and transported it into the city, and the Song army of Caizhou also sent nearly 10,000 stone of grain to Xuzhou, and also transported tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder and thunderbolt cannons, and even dragged dozens of iron cannons that had just arrived in Caizhou City, as well as a large number of arrows and other things. Although these materials are still far from the materials requested by Gao Huaiyuan, they also play a considerable role in strengthening Xuzhou's defense capability.

When the time came to September 17, the fifth year of Shaoding, Gao Huaiyuan finally ordered Meng Heng and Li Xiaotian's troops to start retreating and enter the cities of Xuzhou and Junzhou to rest and garrison.

Only then was Ogedai able to lead a large number of Mongolian soldiers and horses to arrive outside the city of Xuzhou.

However, the Mongolian army just entered the three miles outside the city of Xuzhou, and began to appear a lot of Mongolian cavalry fell from the horse, once the Mongolian army was inspected, it was found that on the road they were advancing were full of bowl-sized potholes, and on these pits, the Song army was also lacking in virtue to the extreme, and a thin layer of reed mats were sprinkled on it, and it was sprinkled with a thin layer of soil, before stepping on it, it was difficult to find that there would be such a pit on the ground, and the cavalry was often trapped in the horse's legs, and in one day, it damaged hundreds of good horses of the Mongolian cavalry. The angry Mongolian cavalry inspected their horses distressedly, and at the same time brandished their knives and pointed in the direction of Xuzhou City and scolded...

These days, Wokotai can be depressed, he entered Hezhong Mansion at the end of March, and ran into the Song army of Qin Fenglu to cause them chaos, but he saw that he was about to reach the mouth of Hezhong Mansion, but he could not conquer it, and then the Song army copied his back road and wanted to sneak attack Pingyang Mansion, which forced him to give up attacking Hezhong Mansion and led the army to withdraw to Pingyang Mansion.

Although he finally won a great victory and annihilated nearly 10,000 Song troops, then his rear army retreating from Hezhong Mansion was blocked by the Song army again, killing more than 10,000 people at once. This is Wokotai for so many years, rarely encountered a failure, even if he has repeatedly attacked Tongguan over the years, he has never suffered such a big loss, and later he also heard that after he evacuated, the Jin army of Hezhong Province surrendered to the Song army, but the boiled duck flew to the Song army's plate.

This incident made Wokotai really depressed for a long time, he thought a lot when he was in Pingyang Mansion, and almost led the troops to Hezhong Mansion several times, looking for revenge for the Song army on Qinfeng Road, and also thought about gathering heavy troops to attack Yan'an Mansion, but in the end reason overcame his impulse, he finally followed the advice of his advisers, led the army out of Pingyang Mansion into Weizhou, and joined forces with Tachar's Middle Route Army, and transferred more than 20,000 Mongolian elite soldiers from outside the pass, and began to seek to break through the Yellow River from the middle road into the Central Plains...

This plan seems to be quite successful at present, because of the containment of the Song army, the Jin State had to transfer the main force of the Jin army that was originally guarding the Yellow River and Tongguan to resist the attack of the Song army, and as a result, they finally found a loophole and broke through the Yellow River in one fell swoop to capture the Zhengzhou area.

But just began to turn into a smooth war, after Wokotai led the rear army to cross the river, immediately ran into trouble again, sent to Henan Province all the way to the army first encountered a Song army, and fought with the Song army for a while, losing two or three thousand people, before the Song army was blocked in the area of Xin'an County...

Then the Mongolian army in the west began to attack Henan Mansion, but I thought that there were not many Jin troops to guard Henan Mansion, but they let them gnaw for half a month, and failed to attack the city, the main general sent a message that the Zhongjing of Henan Mansion stayed behind to guard Sahelin and the same prefect Wendi Han Duoluo saw that the defenders were few, not enough to resist, or abandoned the city and left, or committed suicide by throwing themselves into the water, and they could take Henan Mansion, but there was a character called Qiang Shen in Henan Mansion, and formed a small army of only more than 100 people, Forced to collect thousands of remnants of the Jin army in Henan Mansion and held Henan Mansion, the Mongol army attacked the city several times, but they were beaten back. There is a shortage of weapons in the city, this strong stretch will turn money into clusters, make arrows, and make gunpowder, put it in the jar to make a thunderbolt to kill the Mongolian army besieging the city, the young and strong people in the city are even more enthusiastic to go to the city to help the Hanzi army defend the city, the result is that the Jin army of Henan Mansion not only did not lose the city, but the more the war became stronger, it seems that there is no way to take Henan Mansion in a short time!

And the Song army stationed in Xin'an County was not honest, as soon as the Mongolian army attacked Henan Province, they ran out of Xin'an County and kicked the Mongolian army's **. . .

The Mongol army turned around to deal with them, they ran back to Xin'an County to hide, the Mongol army went to fight Xin'an County, but they were beaten back by a cannon, during this time the 30,000 Mongol troops in the west suffered a lot of losses, and they did not dare to attack the Song army in Xin'an County easily.

He's here! The situation is even worse! Originally, he thought that he led nearly 70,000 Mongolian troops and dealt with the more than 30,000 Song troops in the Xuzhou area, but he didn't think that it would be such a short journey of 100 miles from Xinzheng County to Xuzhou City.

Not to mention the tricks of the two Song armies that intercepted them, their combat effectiveness was also quite strong, and they were stunned that 20,000 people blocked him in the plains for seven or eight days before they withdrew to Xuzhou and Junzhou.

This kind of thing was unimaginable in the past, the Song army, with the infantry army as the main force, actually attacked more with less, and could block them for so long, and retreated, and the angry Wo Kotai jumped like thunder, vowing to level Xuzhou City and Junzhou City, and kill all the people in these two places to dissipate their anger...

This has not yet reached the city of Xuzhou, and it has made the Song people worse again, and they have dug so many small horse traps, and they have a lot of war horses.

"If I don't kill everyone in Xuzhou City, I will swear not to be a human being!" This is the poisonous oath that Ogedai made when he fell to the ground in disgrace after his war horse also broke its front legs.

Anxious to observe the defense of the Song army in Xuzhou, Wo Kotai was not careful, his war horse also stepped on a small horse pit, the war horse was broken front legs, and the Wo Kotai was thrown out, fortunately, this guy had rough skin and thick flesh and did not break the bones, even so, he also smashed Wo Kotai, and his front teeth were almost knocked off, how could he not turn this high sweaty dizzy.

Since the Song army has been provoked in recent years, their Mongolian army has hardly been smooth, and the Song army has been swept away, he thought it was just an accident, but now it is him, but he also fights a battle and eats a suffocation, when he was in Hezhongfu, he first saw the terrible artillery of the Song army, he knew why the mine was defeated, but the failure of the mine was not only defeated under the artillery of the Song army, The resilience of the Song army is also the strongest army he has seen after so many battles, and what is even more terrifying is that the Song army seems to have been thinking about how to deal with their cavalry, which the Mongol army is proud of...

When Polu was defeated in Jizhou, Jingdong, he suffered enough from the Song army's scheming tactics, and later he heard that the same is true for towing mines, and the cavalry is often defeated in the hands of the infantry of the Song army, and now he is the same, in front of the armies of other countries, the tried and tested cavalry tactics, after encountering the Song army, they are often deflated, unless they suddenly sneak attack, otherwise there is no advantage to take advantage of.

Now Wokotai has forgotten who his father regards as the biggest enemy, the Jin country is over, a Bianliang city will be taken sooner or later, if he can't solve the tens of thousands of Song troops here in Xuzhou first, don't want to destroy the Jin country, and don't want to enter the Central Plains, so he puts all his energy on the Song army in Xuzhou now.

What's more, he already knew that the commander of the Song army and even Gao Huaiyuan, who was regarded as the backbone of the Southern Song Dynasty, was also in Xuzhou City, and he couldn't give up Xuzhou, but first attacked other places.

So this time, Wokotai decided to make a desperate bet and put all his capital on the battle of Xuzhou, and completely broke the backbone of the Southern Song Dynasty first.

But when he got up with a curse, cut down a guard who was not well maintained, climbed up a mound, and looked towards Xuzhou, his eyes widened more and more, and his mouth opened slightly, showing in front of him what a magnificent three-dimensional fortification! Trenches, rows of horses and a flat earth barrier, is this still Xuzhou City? ……
