After listening to Polu's orders, these generals were greatly disappointed, but think about it, the Song army came over so many people this time, they only have more than 10,000 people left, even if the decisive battle can defeat the other party, I am afraid that the loss will be very large, even if they win, how can they continue to attack? And there are so many Han people that it seems that they can't kill them all, and once the enemy sends reinforcements, then won't they all have to throw their lives here?

What's more, for a long time, they followed the Great Khan to fight in the north and south, in order to rob more property, acquire more slaves, and possess more women? If they lose their lives, won't all what they have gained be in vain? Although they are very good at war, and they are not afraid of life and death, but they are also human beings, ants still steal life, they do not want to lose their lives in vain, and their military discipline is very strict, orders and prohibitions are the basis for them to win again and again, since Polu has made up his mind, then they can only obey.

With reluctance and frustration, before noon that day, Polu gathered all the soldiers and horses, set up camp outside Enzhou City, and retreated in the direction of Jizhou City.

Zhao Futang in Enzhou City, these generals saw the Mongolian army outside the city suddenly pulled out of the camp, and immediately became very happy, as long as a person with a little brain can figure out the truth, it must be the reinforcements defeated the Mongolian Tartars, so that the Mongolian Tartars evacuated Enzhou City in disgrace, otherwise, with their greed, how could they let Enzhou City go?

So Li Xiaotian immediately asked Zhao Futang for his life, asking to lead the troops out of the city to pursue the Mongol army, but was immediately rejected by Zhao Futang.

Don't be careless, the responsibility of our army is to stick to Enzhou City, no matter whether the withdrawal of the Mongolian army is a plan or not, we should not easily go out of the city to pursue, the Mongolian army now has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, our army is far from their opponents, and they are mostly cavalry, even if we pursue, I am afraid that we will not be able to catch up, or wait here for the arrival of the marshal army, and then we will send troops to Jizhou together with the marshal! Zhao Futang said to Li Xiaotian and others.

Li Xiaotian had no choice but to nod and agree to retreat aside, and Shi Chonggui and other generals of the righteous army had already admired Zhao Futang and other generals of the Song army very much, so they naturally would not raise objections, and nodded and ordered to continue to strengthen the city defense, in case the Mongol army waved a shot and took advantage of their laxity to attack Enzhou.

Although Zhao Futang did not agree with Li Xiaotian to go out of the city to pursue the Mongol army, he still sent a scout to follow the Mongol army to monitor their movements, and probe the road to Jizhou City to find out the truth of the Mongol army.

At the same time, he also sent scouts to explore the movements of Gao Huaiyuan's main army in the direction of Jinan Mansion, and prepared to meet Gao Huaiyuan's main army.

As a result, that night, Gao Huaiyuan led tens of thousands of coalition troops to arrive outside the city of Enzhou, and he had already received news from the scouts in advance, and learned that the Mongol army had taken the initiative to give up attacking the city of Enzhou, and retreated in the direction of Jizhou City.

After hearing the news of the Song army's victory over the Mongol army in Yuhe, the soldiers and civilians of Enzhou City were thunderous, and they poured out of the city gate one after another, welcoming the arrival of reinforcements along the way.

Zhao Futang led the generals in the city out of the city to greet each other, and picked up Gao Huaiyuan and others outside the city gate, and the two sides stated the recent situation to each other, after learning that Zhao Futang and Li Xiaotian and others also made the Mongolian army touch a nose in Enzhou City, Gao Huaiyuan was even more relieved, his hard work over the years was finally not in vain, and the soldiers under his command finally became a good fighting army, which made him full of confidence in the future.

There is not much gossip, the Holy Protector Army and Gao Huaiyuan's main force joined forces, handed over Enzhou City to the Shenyong Army and the crossbow Xiongwu with large losses, and also let Fu Daquan and Liu Dayong recuperate from their injuries in Enzhou, Gao Huaiyuan only rested in Enzhou City for one night that night, and led the army to the direction of Jizhou again early the next morning, and he did not forget to send the news of the victory of the Yuhe River back to Lin'an City, and reported it to Zhao Yun to know.

After the great victory of the Yuhe Ferry, the morale of the army was even more vigorous, marching all the way, and the marching speed was very fast, even the accompanying Peng Yibin's subordinates were also greatly encouraged, as if they had the backbone, they mustered up the courage and followed the main force of the Song army to stride towards Jizhou City.

However, Polu accepted the lesson of the Battle of Yuhe, and did not divide his troops to intercept the Song army, but united with Zhang Rong's subordinates and set up a battlefield outside the city of Jizhou, waiting for the arrival of the Song army.

Of course, it's not that he doesn't want to besiege the city anymore, but Polu is really limited now, Genghis Khan is sending a large army to attack the Western Xia Kingdom during this time, and he can't draw more troops to support the Jingdong war, and Polu didn't dare to ask Genghis Khan for help, he just wants to rely on his own strength to pull back a game outside Jizhou City, and get back some face, as for the plan to Jingdong, he has no longer considered it, this time he unexpectedly encountered so many difficulties, in a short period of time, he wants to capture the land of Jingdong again, It's already impossible, he himself knows it.

After all, Jizhou still has 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses under Zhang Rong's command, plus he has now assembled more than 10,000 Mongolian troops, basically the same as the Song army's coalition army, although he knows that it is impossible to continue to capture Jingdong, but he still wants to meet the Song army in Jizhou City, which made him suffer such a big loss, and meet the rumored invincible Song army commander, to see how powerful this person is.

Therefore, the battle clouds were already thick outside Jizhou at this time, and Polu was ready for all the battles, just waiting for the arrival of the Song army.

Therefore, Gao Huaiyuan led the troops to enter Jizhou City on the way, basically did not encounter any trouble, except that the road was destroyed by the Mongolian army and delayed the speed of some troops, did not encounter the Mongolian army's resistance, after a few days of marching, finally arrived at the southeast of Jizhou City fifteen miles, under Gao Huaiyuan's order, the army immediately stopped, and immediately set up a strong camp.

Along the way, although the Song army marched very fast, but Gao Huaiyuan has always been very worried, after all, although the Mongolian army is newly defeated, but there are still a lot of troops available, he is worried that Polu also set up an ambush on the road, and give him the color, once such a thing really happens, there is no danger to defend here, it is very conducive to the large-scale mobile attack of the Mongolian cavalry, and the Song army is mainly infantry troops, basically there is no tactical initiative at all, and it is not impossible for tens of thousands of people to be surrounded by far less than their Mongolian cavalry, In the event of a defeat in battle, it is likely to collapse immediately.

Therefore, Gao Huaiyuan traveled all the way, walked very carefully, and the army advanced in groups as much as possible, shortened the army's front as much as possible, and widely spread scouts around the army to conduct reconnaissance, so as not to be attacked by the Mongolian cavalry, so as not to be suddenly cut off by the Mongolian army.

However, basically his worries did not come true, Polu did not do this, but gathered troops in Jizhou City, and made a posture of fighting him to the death, which allowed them to walk safely into the Jizhou boundary.

On the way, Gao Huaiyuan and the generals in the army discussed the battle plan many times, and finally decided to make a procrastination trick, set up a camp in the southeast of Jizhou, and slowly grind with the Mongolian army, and the Mongolian army fought a decisive battle.

The reason why they did this was because they had already found out the news and preliminarily estimated Polu's plan, and Polu could now say that he had made up his mind to retreat, but he just wanted to have a decisive battle with the Song army in Jizhou City to get back some face, so Gao Huaiyuan was not too anxious to fight a decisive battle with Polu.

And now it has entered the early summer, gradually the temperature is getting higher, and the rain has begun to increase, although the Mongolian army has low demand for logistics, but now they have been sending troops for several months, and this time after Polu led the army to go out, did not get a big bargain, the grain and straw resources obtained are very limited, and it is estimated that their consumption should basically be about the same, and there is still a distance from Youzhou, they can only rely on Zhang Rong to supply them, so the current reserves of the Mongolian army should not be sufficient.

Although the Song army is also facing the problem of supply, but relatively speaking, the situation of the Song army is much better, this time before Gao Huaiyuan went north, he made very full preparations, and carried sufficient grain, and he also ordered Zhenjiang Mansion to transfer a large number of grain to Jinan Mansion, plus the Flying Tiger Army is also making efforts to prepare during this time, and a large number of grain are sent to Jinan Mansion, at present, they are not too short of food, enough to support their combat consumption for a month or two.

Therefore, Polu was in a hurry, so they were not in a hurry, they simply stopped in the southeast of Jizhou, and no longer marched forward, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the rain was getting more and more, so that for the Mongolian cavalry, the hot weather and muddy roads would also greatly limit the mobility of the Mongolian army.

The Song army stopped like this, and this kind of action really surprised Polu.

In Polu's view, Jizhou City has been surrounded by them for several months, and the grain in the city has long been exhausted, since the Song army came to the rescue of Jizhou City, it should be very anxious to come to the decisive battle with him, and he happened to wait for work this time, to give the Song army a head-on blow, did not think that when the Song army came to a distance not close to them, he stopped marching, and built a solid camp in the wilderness, as if he did not plan to go forward again, and actually formed a distant confrontation with them.

This made Polu very unhappy, Song Jun's actions deviated greatly from his plan, he no longer wanted to capture Jingdong now, he just wanted to beat Song Jun hard, get back the face of Shi Bu's defeat a few days ago, and then go back, but Song Jun's posture is clearly going to grind with him, how is this good!
