For the arrival of the Song army, Polu was not surprised at all, since there was already a Song army here, then after he surrounded Enzhou City, he believed that the Song army would come here to rescue, but the speed of the Song army was a little beyond his plan, two days earlier than he thought. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

During these four consecutive days, Polu launched several sieges of the city, but under the stubborn resistance of the defenders in the city, he can be said to have failed an inch, and without exception, they all ended in failure.

Although he listened to the advice of his advisers and dug a ditch to divert the water from the moat, when he faced the thick walls, he still could not gnaw at the walls, and no matter how he attacked, the city seemed to have endless arrows and stones, and every time his soldiers hit their heads and bleed, and the lost soldiers retreated.

In the past four days of attack, he lost nearly 3,000 elite soldiers outside the city, for their Mongol army, how could they have suffered such a crushing defeat!

These days, he has ruthlessly urged the craftsmen in the army to build all kinds of siege equipment, threw no less than 200 cars, and launched a fierce bombardment of Enzhou City one after another, smashing the walls of Enzhou City into thousands of holes, but the walls of this damn Enzhou City are still standing still, as if they are indestructible at all.

Often he smashed the city wall in one or two places during the day, and the defenders in the city rushed to repair it overnight, so that he was busy in vain, and what was even more infuriating was that the defenders in the city also built a lot of throwing carts in the city, hiding in the city where he could not see, often his army just rushed to the city wall, and the stones thrown by the throwing carts in the city fell into his army like a long eye, so that his soldiers and horses paid very heavy casualties, but he was helpless against the other party.

What's even more infuriating is that those bed crossbows on the other side's city are a great threat to them, often their throwing carts have not been fired many times, and they are destroyed by the Song army's bed crossbows, but they have no way to deal with the Song army's bed crossbows, and they watch themselves being beaten.

After a few days, the morale of the army began to plummet, and some soldiers began to discuss in private, Enzhou City is another Jizhou City, they have no way to take Enzhou City, and when they attack again, the morale of the army is not as fierce as in the first two days, and some soldiers began to become passive, running slowly when attacking, but running fast when retreating.

If this continues, I'm afraid that after a few more days, he should take a break, and when he heard that the main force of the Song army had arrived dozens of miles away, Polu ordered the army to stop the siege operation, and if he continued to attack the city at such a cost, I am afraid that without the Song army sending reinforcements, they themselves would be almost consumed.

Therefore, Polu decided to besiege the city again to send reinforcements, even if he couldn't defeat Enzhou City, at least let the Song army know that they knew how powerful their Mongolian iron cavalry was on the battlefield.

So Polu immediately dispatched troops, let his deputy general Shi Bu with 10,000 elite cavalry, to block the Song army, in his opinion, although the Song army defended the city strongly, but after all, it was mainly an infantry army, with Shi Bu led by 10,000 Mongolian elite soldiers, there should be no problem to deal with them, not to mention that they used to block Peng Yibin's reinforcements in Jizhou City, often two or three thousand people, and killed the Peng army, this time he already attached importance to the Song army, so he divided half of the troops to Shi Bu, so that he would block the Song army on the east bank of the imperial river and not close to Enzhou City.

It's not that Polu underestimated the Song army too much, after all, the Song army's previous reputation was really bad, even the Jin army, which was defeated in front of the Mongols, could bully and bully the Southern Song Dynasty from time to time, even anyone would underestimate the Song people, and over the years, the Mongolian army has won many battles, and I dare not say that it is invincible, at least it is too much to win more battles with less, Shi Bu is also a veteran of Mu Huali back then, brave and good at fighting is very trusted by Polu, in Polu's opinion, there should be no problem with Shi Bu with 10,000 soldiers and horses to repair the Song army.

What's more, he has also understood the terrain in this area, if the Song army comes from Jinan, it must force the crossing of the Yuhe River, otherwise, there is no way to go, Shi Bu does not have to work too hard, as long as the Song army crosses the river halfway, launch an attack, the Song army will fight against the water, and it will be difficult to win!

So Shi Bu rushed to take the soldiers and horses allocated to him by Polu and immediately galloped towards the direction of the royal river, and the siege battle was really so depressed that they were so happy that there were horses and horizontal swords to kill on the flat ground! Therefore, as soon as they heard that they were going to intercept the reinforcements of the Song army, the officers and men in these armies were all interested, and they shouted and went to the southeast of Enzhou.

After Zhao Futang learned of the movement of the Mongolian army outside the city, he immediately judged that it might be Gao Huaiyuan who led the army to approach here, and the Mongolian army must have run to intercept Gao Huaiyuan's reinforcements, so he immediately ordered the soldiers in the city to start preparations, as soon as Gao Huaiyuan's main force arrived, he would immediately open the city to fight, and Gao Huaiyuan's main force should join forces to repel the Mongolian army.

After the people in the city heard the news that the reinforcements were coming, they were overjoyed, and their morale was even more boosted, and the officers and men in the army began to prepare for their work, after the battle of the past few days, they had gradually lost their fear of the Mongol army, and the Mongols were not very powerful? The result? When you touch their Enzhou City, aren't you still beaten all over the ground looking for teeth? So now they are no longer afraid of the Mongol soldiers, and many people are gearing up, ready to go out to see the strength of the Mongol army.

Shi Bu has nothing to worry about this mission, the scouts have already explored the situation around the Yuhe crossing, although the Song army has a lot of soldiers and horses, but most of them are infantry troops, and they carry a large number of baggage, and move slowly, he likes to fight such a battle, hit the enemy in the middle of the crossing, the Song army will be defeated, and then their Mongolian army will be rich, and the Song army will carry so many heavy things, it will all belong to them, even if they can't beat Enzhou City, what can they do? They will also have access to a great deal of wealth, and they will have a way to account for it when they go back.

So Shi Bu basically has nothing to worry about, he believes that these Mongolian iron cavalry and the cavalry of the Semu people under his command are all elite soldiers with one as ten, if even the Song army can't be defeated, then he should really wipe his neck to thank Polu.

One night may not be a long time, but for thousands of people to work together, erect pontoon bridges, it is enough, not to mention that the most important thing in the army is people with good water quality, although this area has been sacked by the Mongolian cavalry, and the surrounding people have run away, making it difficult for them to find useful ships, but this does not affect the Song army to erect pontoon bridges.

Fu Daquan was ordered to lead the army to cut down trees, the timber was continuously transported to the river, and Liu Dayong's subordinates were responsible for building bridges, the two armies cooperated with the action, the speed was also very fast, with the efforts of the soldiers, overnight, five pontoon bridges were erected on the not too wide royal river, at dawn, the bridge end of the pontoon bridge was connected to the opposite bank, after the last few wooden stakes were laid, the pontoon bridge began to lay logs and branches, and when the sun rose in the east, the five pontoon bridges were completed.

Liu Dayong also had a few heavy trucks pulled by mules and horses brought in, and ran them back and forth on the bridge several times to ensure that there was no problem with crossing the bridge before returning to the camp to resume his life.

As soon as Gao Huaiyuan was bright, he climbed a high platform erected at night, took out his baby telescope and began to look towards the west bank of the river, when he saw the flag in a forest four or five miles away from the west of the river, Gao Huaiyuan showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, it is good to have a telescope, at least he can always take the initiative on the battlefield, forming a unilateral battlefield transparency, which is also what the army pursues.

Has the Marshal already discovered the Mongol army? As Gao Huaiyuan's deputy, Hua Yue also accompanied Gao Huaiyuan to the high platform, and when he saw the sneer on the corner of Gao Huaiyuan's mouth, he asked.

See for yourself! The Mongols were so cunning that they did not show up now, and even their scouts hid, but they did not expect us to see so far, and now they were all gathered behind the woods four miles west of the river, waiting for us to cross the river! Hum! The wishful thinking is a good one, we also have to cooperate with them, it's time to take action! Gao Huaiyuan stretched out his hand and handed the telescope to Hua Yue, while saying to Hua Yue.

It's not the first time Hua Yue has used Gao Huaiyuan's thing, he knows how to use it, and after taking it, he leaned over his eyes and adjusted it slightly, and looked in the direction of the other side of the river, and he really quickly found the traces of the Mongolian army, and after a rough calculation, he nodded and handed the telescope back to Gao Huaiyuan and said with a smile: Everything is in the calculation of the big marshal, Polu really sent troops!

The two walked off the high platform while talking, Gao Huaiyuan reflexively returned to the big tent and sat behind the handsome case, and soon Liu Dayong entered the account and reported: Qi Yu Dashuai! The pontoon bridge has been erected, and the army can cross the river at any time!

You've done a great job! Other generals, are you ready?

The generals have also returned to the big tent at this time, lined up on both sides of the big tent, and when they heard Gao Huaiyuan's inquiry, they all intervened and replied: Qi Qi Dashuai, we are all ready!

Gao Huaiyuan was relieved at this time, nodded and said: Since this is the case, then everything will be done according to the plan! After giving an order to the three armies, after a full meal of war, they began to cross the river!

The generals in the tent responded with a bang, and then each strode out of the big tent.

General Fu stays, this official still has something to explain to you! When he saw Fu Daquan about to walk out of the big tent, Gao Huaiyuan stopped him.

Fu Daquan hurriedly stood still, turned around and came back to Gao Huaiyuan and hugged his fist: If you have something to say, just command!

Gao Huaiyuan waved his hand to let the idle people in the tent exit the big tent, Li Ruohu immediately guarded the door of the big tent, Gao Huaiyuan got up and bypassed the handsome case, came to Fu Daquan, and looked Fu Daquan up and down: Daquan, you have endured humiliation and burden all these years, it has been really hard! You really didn't live up to my trust and laid a field in Jingdong! I don't know how to repay you! Today I will tell you a piece of news, the imperial court has issued an order, you are the general of Dingyuan, the commander of the Flying Tiger Army, and the observer of Mizhou, the Flying Tiger Army will become the new army of the imperial court from now on, and Liu Chengyi will be the Marquis of Yu of the Flying Tiger Army, which can be regarded as my little reward to you! Are you dissatisfied with this arrangement?
