After seeing Hailasu who fled back to Jiezhou City in embarrassment, he heard the battle report, and immediately became suspicious, this matter is a bit illogical, when did the Song army become so strong?

He understands Hailasu, although this guy is brave and unscrupulous, but he is not greedy for life and afraid of death, and he led nearly 3,000 troops to meet the Song army this time, and he was defeated so badly, except for the fact that his own soldiers and horses basically suffered little loss and were brought back, the two thousand new annexed troops accompanying him were basically wiped out, and this result was much more than he expected.

So he didn't dare to underestimate this Song army anymore, immediately gathered troops and horses, and advanced in the direction of Jiangli County overnight, leaving only a ruined Jiezhou city that was still burning behind him.

Jiangli County is a very small county seat, there are only a few thousand residents in the city, but it is a thousand-year-old city in Jiangli County, and the Southern Song Dynasty has been in order to resist the invasion of the Jin Kingdom for a hundred years, and has carefully operated the three passes and five states into the gateway of Lizhou, so the city of Jiangli County is also quite strong, all of them are made of bluestone, and even the stone cracks are filled with lead juice, which is very stable.

It's just that there are very few defenders in Jiangli County, only a battalion of border troops belonging to the Lizhou Metropolitan Division, and the strength is very limited, but fortunately, the magistrate of Jiangli County is a loyal and brave person, after hearing that Jiezhou was besieged by the Mongolian army, he organized the young and strong in the city in a short time, and personally led these townsmen to the city to help the defenders to defend the army, in order to wait for the arrival of reinforcements, and when the Mongolian army did not arrive, the people around the county were evacuated, It also collected a group of defeated soldiers and civilians who fled from the direction of Jiezhou City, which greatly strengthened the strength of the county seat.

As soon as Jiezhou was broken, the Mongolian army divided its troops to attack Xihezhou and the surrounding counties, and took Li County as the county seat adjacent to Jiezhou, which was naturally attacked by the Mongol army at the first time.

But what Tuo Lei never expected was that the small Jiangli County became a nail and was firmly nailed to his way forward.

Because it was believed that Jiangli County was relatively small, the number of soldiers and horses sent by Tuo Lei to attack Jiangli County was small, but only 2,000 new annexed troops led by a Mongol commander of a thousand commanders, and after the threat failed, these 2,000 Mongolian troops launched a siege.

Don't look at the city defenders are not much, the number of bows and crossbows is also very limited, but the people have heard of the ferocity of the Mongol soldiers, in the county encouragement, the city soldiers and people hated the enemy, vowed not to surrender, so for three consecutive days, the Mongolian army's attack ended in failure, and Tuo Lei had to send some more soldiers and horses to support.

In order to break the city, the Mongolian army began to force the captured craftsmen outside the city to build various siege equipment, and built three arrow towers and throwing carts outside the city, and retreated to the city of Jiangli County.

Immediately Jiangli County fell into a bitter battle, a large number of soldiers and civilians in the city were shot on the city wall by the archers on the enemy arrow tower outside the city, and those Mongolian troops threw wheels and fired boulders, bombarding the city wall of Jiangli County again and again, which caused a huge threat to the defenders of Jiangli County.

The magistrate led the army to fight to the death and did not retreat, but was also injured by a boulder, and died of his injuries in the afternoon of the same day, and died under the city wall, and this magistrate is also a well-known man, and he handed over the command to the capital who defended the city, and told them to defend the city to the death, and they could not surrender no matter what.

Although the county was killed in battle, it also aroused the will of the soldiers and civilians in the city, even if the weapons were not as good as the Mongolian army outside the city, but they still repelled several attacks of the Mongolian army, and also killed and injured a lot of Mongolian soldiers with stones and rolling wood.

But under the onslaught launched by the Mongolian army one after another, the city of Jiangli County still began to run out of arrows, and the resistance became weaker and weaker, after nightfall, the Mongolian army stepped up the attack overnight in order to capture the county town of Jiangli as soon as possible, the soldiers and civilians in the city suffered heavy casualties, and they were exhausted, and the county town of Jiangli County can be said to be to a precarious extent.

But just when the soldiers and civilians of Jiangli County were almost in despair, the situation suddenly reversed, seeing that the Mongolian army had attacked the city wall, and the city was broken in front of them, suddenly the rear of the Mongolian army was in chaos, and the soldiers and civilians in the city did not know what was going on outside, and they could only hear the frightened shouts everywhere outside the city.

The Mongol troops who had already landed in the city suddenly gave up the attack, turned around and fled off the city wall, leaving corpses all over the ground and withdrawing from the city wall in a blink of an eye.

Until the soldiers and civilians in the city saw the fire dragons chasing the Mongolian army all over the mountains, the Mongolian army, which was originally arrogant to the extreme, was chaotic at this time, the soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not find the soldiers, and the whole army fled in a big rout, all the way to the direction of Jiezhou.

The soldiers and civilians in the city realized that it was their Song army reinforcements arrived, and they had fallen into despair, and the soldiers and civilians who were just waiting to die in the city suddenly sounded a cheer, and then many people knelt on the ground with the knives and guns in their hands and cried loudly, all bowing to the east, grateful for the wisdom of the imperial court, and at such a critical moment, let the reinforcements rush to rescue them.

Huang Yan was splashed with the enemy's bloodstains, looking at the retreating Mongolian army, he raised his hand and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, such a dark night, even if he was bold, he did not dare to let the army chase the defeated soldiers at will, this is not far from Jiezhou City, the main force of the enemy army may appear at any time, if he suddenly encounters the main force of the enemy, then he may turn the victory into defeat in this battle, and the victory that he has won with great difficulty may be replicated.

So he wisely chose to collect the troops and enter the county town of Li to rest, after all, after they sent their troops, they rushed here for days, and the two major battles in one day, which had exhausted the generals, and this was not the time to be brave for a while anyway.

The capital of Jiangli County was covered with a bloodstained white cloth, and personally opened the door to welcome Huang Yan's army into the city, and the soldiers and civilians of the city knelt on the ground to welcome the army into the city.

Looking at the remains of those soldiers and civilians who died in battle parked on both sides of the street, Huang Yan felt quite unpleasant in his heart, as a Song person, he was a little puzzled, why he always let the common people be bullied by the barbarians, since he was fortunate to be involved in this war today, then he must not let these ordinary people of the Great Song Dynasty continue to suffer such slaughter.

Everyone, please get up, you can resist the Mongolian army's repeated onslaught when the Mongolian army is coming, Huang is very admired, after this battle, Huang will definitely ask for credit to Lord Du Chengzhi for you!

Come on, hang the heads of all the Tartar soldiers who were slaughtered by us outside the city wall, and let the Tartars see what happened to them to provoke our Song people! To sacrifice the souls of those soldiers and civilians who died in the sky! Huang Yan dismounted and picked up Li Zhan, who was kneeling at the city gate, and picked up the nearby soldiers one by one, and then ordered after admiring it.

Huang Yan's generals immediately began to take over the city defense of Jiangli County, and organized the people to quickly dismantle the Mongolian army outside the city, such as rushing cars, artillery carts, etc., all those that could be transported into the city were transported into the city, and those that could not be transported were directly set on fire on the spot, and the province was used by the Mongolian army that came later, and at the same time used this short time to collect those arrows, stones, rolling logs and other things scattered outside the city, and transported them into the city to strengthen the defense of Jiangli County.

As a mature general, Huang Yan understands better than anyone that victory is only a matter of immediacy, and the Mongol army that has suffered two blows from them will never sit idly by, waiting for them must be the fierce attack that follows, his number of soldiers and horses is not enough to face off with the Mongol army outside the city, and his wisest choice at the moment is to defend the city, consume the living strength of the Mongol army here, and buy time for Gao Huaiyuan to mobilize more Song troops out of the pass to fight against the Mongol army.

As Gao Huaiyuan's most trusted brother, Huang Yan stood in Gao Huaiyuan's position everywhere, for his sake, this attack by the Mongolian army was indeed too sudden for the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Sichuan army was not prepared enough for war over the years, and Gao Huaiyuan must need a lot of time to complete the dispatch of soldiers and horses, so Huang Yan believes that he has the responsibility to drag down a large number of Mongolian troops and reduce the pressure of the Mongolian army on other states and counties outside the Guan.

His idea must be correct, but he still slightly underestimated the speed of the Mongol army, before dawn, when the soldiers and civilians in the city were still collecting various materials from outside the city to strengthen the defense, a large number of Mongol cavalry began to appear on the road leading to the direction of Jiezhou.

After Huang Yan entered the city, it can be said that he didn't sleep all night, and after hearing the warning news, he secretly scolded: Damn, this tartar is coming too fast! I didn't leave enough time for Lao Tzu to prepare! Looks like this battle is going to be a bit of a problem!

But his face was silent, and immediately ordered a fire on the city wall, and informed the soldiers and civilians outside the city to immediately return to the city to avoid the attack of the Mongol army, and soon the soldiers and civilians outside the city got the warning signal, and immediately poured into the city with the things at hand, and before the Mongol army approached the city wall, the four gates were suddenly closed, blocking the Mongol army outside the city again.

Tuo Lei was in a very bad mood, he didn't expect that the Song army that suddenly appeared was so powerful, and he lost two games in a row, the other party's marching speed was faster, beyond his imagination, it was not better than the plain, and he naturally knew the speed of the march, but what he didn't expect was that this Song army had just defeated Hailasu in Niutou Mountain, so he rushed to Jiangli County without stopping, and took back Jiangli County, which was already in his pocket.

Therefore, after hearing the report of the defeated generals of Jiangli County, Tuo Lei immediately led the army to Jiangli County overnight, and he had to win back a game here no matter what, completely annihilating this Song army that dared to offend their Mongolian army Tianwei, and regained some face.

Before dawn, Tuo Lei finally led the troops to Jiangli County, under the backdrop of the white fish belly in the eastern sky, he saw a string of things hanging on the wall of Jiangli County, looked at it fixedly, when he saw these things clearly, Tuo Lei almost fell off the horse's back angrily.

It turns out that these strings of things are actually strings of human heads, he doesn't have to ask, and he knows who these heads are, even if he followed his father to attack the Western Xia Kingdom for two years, the Mongolian army has never suffered such a big loss as today, which is undoubtedly like a heavy slap in the face of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the angry tow mine almost lost his mind.

However, after looking at the situation in Jiangli County, he finally defeated his anger with reason, and then ordered the army to disperse and firmly surround the entire Jiangli County.

At the same time, he ordered that any road leading to the county seat of Jiangli be cut off, and that the Song army in the city should not be allowed to receive any support, and he was determined to completely erase the county from this world, so that the Song people knew the consequences of offending their Mongol army Tianwei.

Batches of Mongol troops began to be mobilized from all over the city, so that more and more Mongol troops outside Jiangli County were formed, and the strength gradually reached the scale of nearly 20,000 people.
