Chapter 67: Assemble
If he wants to relieve the siege of Huang Yan, his troops are far from enough at the moment, and he is too reckless in this advance, just bringing the accompanying pro-army, not even the auxiliaries, so their current strength will never be able to attack all the way to the city of Jiangli County, so what he needs is to wait for Yue Kun's Lizhou soldiers and Huang Yan's follow-up Lizhou soldiers to arrive here together, and then launch an attack on the Mongolian army outside Jiangli County.

Originally, Gao Huaiyuan himself never thought that the small Jiangli County might become the location of his battle with the Mongolian army this time, the battlefield was really changing rapidly, just because of Huang Yan's counterattack, coupled with his lone army adventurous, he actually attracted most of the Mongolian army to such a small place, so his battle plan could only be changed accordingly, and sent someone to immediately go back to inform Yue Kun, speed up the march in the direction of Jiezhou, and mobilize more soldiers and horses to come here to have a duel with the Mongolian army.
Although there are not many elite soldiers under his command, only Yue Kun's 10,000 elites from Chuzhou, and these soldiers and horses cannot all be concentrated here now, and there are other places that also need to be guarded, so Yue Kun can bring five or six thousand elite soldiers is not bad, plus the previous pro-army under his command, the most effective soldiers and horses are about six or seven thousand people, and although the Chuzhou army under Huang Yan has a lot of troops this time, there are roughly nearly 10,000, but most of these soldiers and horses have not been on the battlefield, and there is no actual combat experience. And most of them are still new Ding who have just joined the army, then they go to fight to the death with the Mongolian army, it is estimated that as long as they lose dozens of people, the whole army may collapse, so even if these people rush over, they can only be used as auxiliary troops, and the number of troops seems to be about the same in the number of the two armies, but in essence, compared with the Song army and the Mongolian army, most of the Mongolian army are elite soldiers with rich combat experience and experience, even those new annexed troops who belong to the Mongolian army are all veterans who have been on the battlefield and have seen a lot of blood, so the Song army is still at an absolute disadvantage.
Fortunately, the terrain here is more complicated, and it is not conducive to the large-scale mobile combat of the Mongolian cavalry, once the battlefield is relatively narrow, the greatest advantage of the Mongolian cavalry can not be played, plus he has this kind of cutting-edge firearms to help, this battle is not necessarily not able to fight, once it is fought, maybe there is still the possibility of winning.
So after resuming, Gao Huaiyuan decided to fight the Mongolian army here for a while.
Yue Kun was originally going to Xianren Pass and Wuxiu Pass to garrison, but after he led his army to Xianren Pass, he heard that Gao Huaiyuan had led his own army out of the pass and chased Huang Yan in the direction of Jiezhou, and Jiezhou had been broken by the Mongolian army, so they were likely to encounter a large number of Mongolian troops.
Yue Kun immediately stomped his feet angrily, complaining in his heart that Gao Huaiyuan was too rash, and hurriedly followed Gao Huaiyuan's instructions to leave a thousand elite soldiers to Xianren Pass, and then did not dare to delay for a moment, so he left Xianren Pass and led the army to chase in the direction of Jiezhou, and at the same time ordered the 5,000 soldiers and horses originally stationed in Wuxiu Pass, and dispatched 2,000 people, and immediately rushed to the direction of Jiezhou.
As for Ma Zhong, the deputy commander of the Chuzhou Army, he had also led 8,000 Chuzhou soldiers to arrive at Qifang Pass at this time, and heard the news of the loss of Jiezhou at Qifang Pass, and heard that Huang Yan had led the army to Jiezhou, so he left a message for him to speed up the march and rush to Jiezhou.
Ma Zhong was worried, because he also knew that the combat effectiveness of the 8,000 soldiers and horses he brought this time was not good, and it was okay to follow Huang Yan's 5,000 elite soldiers to wave their flags and shout to fill the number of people, once they really wanted to go into battle and fight hand-to-hand with the Mongolian army, he dared to say that these 8,000 people Lima would collapse.
But he was worried, he also knew the temper of the current Lord Du Chengzhi, and now that the Mongolian army was attacking, those of them who were soldiers could only be driven to ask for food if they wanted to only eat the imperial food and not work, so even if he was a little worried, he still pressed the army and rushed towards the direction of Jiezhou.
After Yue Kun got out of the Immortal Pass, it can be said that he traveled day and night, even on such a difficult mountain road, their daily marching speed reached more than thirty miles, and under normal circumstances, the Song army marched on such a road, and it was not bad that they could walk at most twenty miles a day, but after all, Yue Kun's subordinates were the elite from Chuzhou, and these Chuzhou soldiers were very patient, so under his supervision, the marching speed
It is precisely because of this that Yue Kun was the first to arrive compared to Ma Zhong's 8,000 Chuzhou army, and was the first to rush to the vicinity of Niutou Mountain, and learned here that Gao Huaiyuan had just led a thousand new troops and defeated a 3,000 Mongolian army, so the morale of the soldiers under his command suddenly soared, and everyone thought that even their Ducheng Lord had personally gone into battle, how could they, who were small soldiers, be afraid of war? Originally, they were still a little worried that they were not the opponents of the Mongolian soldiers, but when they heard that Gao Huaiyuan had defeated the Mongolian army with only a thousand pro-troops, they were much more relieved.
Just when Gao Huaiyuan had not yet built all the fortifications, Yue Kun led the army to his station, and finally joined Gao Huaiyuan, which made Gao Huaiyuan's heart immediately feel much more stable, and gave an order, so that Yue Kun's six thousand soldiers also stopped and rested.
Seeing that a small group of Mongolian rangers haunted the mountains from time to time, Gao Huaiyuan didn't care about them, and observed his station from a distance, he just wanted to let Tuo Lei know that he led the main force of the Song army to arrive here, hoping to attract the Mongolian army to concentrate here, so as to reduce the pressure on the surrounding Guanwai prefectures and counties.
And Tuo Lei really felt the pressure, and immediately issued an order to gather the scattered troops and assemble towards Jiangli County.
The clouds of a big war began to spread densely in Jiangli County, and the soldiers and horses of the Song and Mongolian armies rushed to the vicinity of Jiangli County, and the military tents stretched endlessly, almost filling the places outside Jiangli County that could live.
Huang Yan crawled out of a pile of tiles with a disgraced face, scolded loudly, spit out the dust in his mouth, pushed away the soldiers who rushed over to check his injuries and walked to the side of the battlement.
Just now he was resting in the castle tower, but a stone bullet from a Tartar suddenly hit the castle tower, and the castle tower, which was already full of holes, could no longer withstand the blow, so it collapsed with a bang.
Huang Yan is a clever person in the end, as soon as the stone bullet hit the house, he immediately jumped up and rushed to the door, so although the house collapsed, but it only swept him away, and failed to kill him in the house on the spot, but his two personal soldiers were unlucky, and they were buried under the collapsed masonry and tiles, and they didn't know if they could dig them out alive again.
! Tartars, I'm not done with you this time! Come on! Let the horses come! Come and kill one Lao Tzu, come and kill one pair of two Lao Tzu! If you want to enter Jiangli County, you local chickens and dogs are still a little tender, come and beat Lao Tzu hard, and they will have no return! Huang Yan stood on the city wall and jumped to his feet and cursed at the Mongolian soldiers who were swarming down again, snatched the strong bow that his men held for him, and shot the bow downward.
Originally, seeing Huang Yan being crushed in the ruins, the soldiers and civilians at the head of the city were taken aback, and their morale was frustrated, but when they saw Huang Yan like an immortal Xiaoqiang, they climbed out again, and then Qinggong began to lead them to fight against the Mongolian army, so the morale that had just been frustrated rose again, so they rushed to take the bow and crossbow, carry stones and heavy wood, and hit the Mongolian army under the city.
Looking at this Jiangli County, Tuo Lei himself suddenly had a sense of powerlessness, they waved their troops south to attack the Western Xia Kingdom this time, and attacked countless cities, but today they have no way to take this small Jiangli County.
After some of the new annexed troops attacked for three consecutive days, the officers were completely lost, and they were completely disabled and could not be used anymore, but even so, they still failed to conquer this county town.
He thought of all the ways he could, building equipment, digging holes in the ground, attacking with fire, and setting smoke to the ground, but the defenders in the city came to flood the water and earth, and disintegrated their attacks one after another, and even opened the city gate yesterday and sent 200 soldiers to rush out, directly knocking down and setting fire to several newly built chariots outside the city wall of the Mongol army.
Although none of the 200 Song soldiers in the end could not return to the city, they caused nearly 500 casualties to the Mongolian army, and also destroyed a large number of siege equipment of the Mongolian army.
King of Enlightenment! Another Song army has arrived at Chaojun Mountain, and the strength of the Song army has reached nearly 20,000! Let the king decide! A Ranger Pegasus arrives in front of Tow Mine, who is fighting outside the city, and reports to Tow Mine.
Tuo Lei's brows were even more furrowed, he had already felt that this time it was only a siege battle, I am afraid that it was going to develop into a battle between the two armies, and the dark cloud of the defeat of the sea army has always shrouded his heart, so far he has not figured out what the sharp weapons used by the Song army to defeat the sea are what they are, so that he does not dare to raise heavy troops to attack the Song army.
As a result, in the past two days, the Song army began to rush to the hill not far from here, holding their main road to Qifang Pass, and the two armies are now in a confrontation, and this hill originally had no name, in order to facilitate the name, so the Mongolian army casually called this mountain the mountain of chaos.
He regretted his hesitation a little, although the Song army had very sharp weapons, but no matter how you said it, they only had more than a thousand people, if it wasn't for his own hesitation, then send some more troops to besiege this Song army with all their might, even if their weapons were powerful, they should have been slaughtered by him at this time, then he would have been able to get the terrible weapons of the Song army, but now, it has become impossible for him to think about killing this Song army, Because a large number of Song troops have gathered near the Rebel Army Mountain at this time.
