In the ninth year of the reign of Kim Jong Dae, 1232 A.D., the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Henan, Junzhou, on Sanfeng Mountain, the Mongolian army camp.

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Wokotai sent the fierce general Kou Wen Buhua to lead a Mongolian team of 10,000 people to Sanfeng Mountain in Henan Province to prepare for the interception of the Jin army. Han Chijin and Shi Tianze and other Han military trees blocked the way from Huangyudian to Bianliang City.

On the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the first month, Wanyan Heda and Wanyan Chen led 150,000 Jin troops to Sanfeng Mountain, and the two sides fought, and the Mongolian army had to retreat to the northeast and southwest of Sanfeng Mountain because of the defeat in the war. Jin generals Wuxian and Gao Ying were the vanguard to attack the Mongolian army in the southwest of Sanfeng Mountain, Yang Woyan and Fan Ze led the army to attack the Mongolian army in the northeast of Sanfeng Mountain, and the monk Wanyan Chen led the cavalry of the Zhongxiao Army to storm the Mongolian army, and the two sides were stalemate for a while.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, in the afternoon, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the fields, hillsides, and woods were full of frozen corpses, and blood stained everywhere. Under the fierce attack of the Jin army regardless of casualties, the Mongolian army had to retreat to the northeast and southwest peaks of Sanfeng Mountain. The Jin army did not continue to attack, but dug ditches and set up villages at the foot of Sanfeng Mountain, surrounding the Mongolian army on the mountain layer by layer, as if to trap the other party.

In the golden tent of the Mongolian Great Khan, the Mongolian Great Khan's Wokotai frowned, and the rest of the generals were also silent.

In particular, the younger generation of the Mongolian clan, such as Meng Ge, Kublai Khan, Guiyou, Kuochu and others, were all depressed and did not say a word.

"Great Khan, the Golden Dog people are overwhelming, even if we can defeat them, I am afraid that our army will kill and wound many soldiers."

The clan warrior didn't have a warm mouth, and he frowned and spoke.

I thought that the two parts of the middle road and the east road, 70,000 Mongolian troops went south, and it would be easy to defeat the remnants of the Jin State, but who knew that after these two days, the Mongolian army lost more than 3,000 soldiers, and the Han army lost nearly 10,000 not to mention, and fell into a bitter battle and was forced to Sanfeng Mountain.

"The golden dog has artillery and earth-shattering thunder, and it is not necessary to die in a fight. This battle is not easy to fight! ”

Han Chijin, the marshal of the Eastern Army of the Mongolian Army, answered with a black face.

Since the advent of firearms of the Song people, Mongolia and Jin have invested in the development of firearms, although the power is not as good as that of the Song people, but it has been used in the army, and the lethality of the cavalry is too small.

"The Jin Army doesn't want to die in battle, this is the fate!"

The words that are not warm in the mouth go straight to the crux of the war.

Wokotai glanced at the generals in the tent, and the young warriors Temutai and Kuo Liejian were all silent, obviously disappointed in the battle situation in front of them, and had no confidence.

Low morale, which is not a good sign. Wokotai's heart couldn't help but move.

"I'm just wondering, in today's battle, the Jin army obviously has the upper hand, why don't they continue to attack?"

Shi Tianze, a Wanhu of the Han Army, glanced at Wokotai, the two looked at each other, and Shi Tianze suddenly interjected.

The people in the tent were all stunned, and their eyes swept towards Shi Tianze.

"Shi Tianze, what do you mean?"

Wo Kotai's heart touched and looked at Shi Tianze.

The Han army he relied on was wise and wise, and he must have unusual opinions.

"Great Khan, our army is besieging Bianliang City, Bianliang City has few soldiers, and the Jin Emperor urgently transferred the army of Pu Abe to help. Six or seven hundred miles from Nanyang to Bianliang City, how much grain and grass can be brought by moving more than 100,000 troops from Pua? In addition, they were harassed by our troops on the road, and the journey was delayed for several days. In my opinion, the Jin army may not have much food and grass. ”

After Shi Tianze's words, Kuo Liejian, who was still sad just now, suddenly became excited.

"Yes, yes, yes! There are more than 100,000 people in the Jin army, and there is definitely not much grain and grass left! Either tomorrow they will go down the mountain and attack, and kill them by surprise! ”

"Isn't the golden dog going to surround us, then let them surround us! Starve them for a few more days, and then kill them well! ”

Temutai was also smiling at the moment, and his expression was relaxed.

Wokotai glanced at the two young generals, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"That being said, even if the Jin army is short of food, they can still calmly withdraw. Dozens of miles to the east is Junzhou, and once they withdraw into the city, our army will not be able to do anything with them. ”

The generals all nodded. It's a pity that Yelu Chucai is not there, otherwise let him calculate, maybe he can find a good way to break the enemy.

The generals were silent, and Ogedai glanced at the shaman (wizard) in the corner of the tent, and then withdrew his gaze.

The shaman understood, immediately stood up, walked out, and stroked his chest to Wokotai and said:

"Great Khan, the soldiers of our army are cold-resistant, I have divined, and through the practice, the sky can be snowed, the sky and the earth will be frozen, the enemy's weapons will be frozen, swords, guns, bows and crossbows cannot be used, and our army can win without a fight."

The shaman came from Kangli in the Western Regions, and was highly sorcering and able to summon wind and rain, and was very prestigious among the Mongol kings and nobles. This time, the Mongol army went south with the army, and Ogedai deliberately took the shaman with him, and he didn't think that he really had a way.

When the shaman said this, everyone in the tent was excited, and Han Chijin immediately stood up and said respectfully:

"Shaman, then please hurry up and cast spells to repel the enemy army."

"Shaman, please cast a spell to repel the enemy."

Everyone stood up together and said respectfully.

"Great Khan, let the whole army prepare the cloth, I will go down and prepare the method."

Ogedai nodded, and the shaman stepped back gently.

Historically, the Torrey West Route Army succeeded in borrowing the road, and the class returned to the court, but on the way, Wokotai fell ill and invited a shaman to do it. It takes a loved one to drink the water in order to get sick instead of Ogedei. At that time, there was only one relative by Ogedei's side, Torre. Torre chose to drink the rune water. As a result, Ogedai was healed, but Torre was dead.

As for whether Ogedai was afraid of Torre's high position and power, and took the opportunity to poison Torrey, it is unknown. But Torre's sudden death at the age of 40 is intriguing.

However, after Torre's son Möngke succeeded to the throne, he began to liquidate the descendants of Ögedei, and many of Ögedei's grandchildren were deposed and exiled, and it is not known whether the debts of the father and the son were repaid.

"You have all heard the shaman's words, so go down and prepare."

The morale of the generals was greatly boosted, and they retreated one after another, and Wokotai came out of the big tent, and he looked at the snowflakes falling leisurely outside, and his brows were tightly locked.

Is it true that as the shaman says, the weather will get colder and there will be heavy snowfall?

"Abu, is it really going to snow?"

The eldest son of Wokotai, Guiyu, a famous warrior on the grassland, turned around and asked his father suspiciously.

"Of course! It's going to be blizzard! Go down and get ready for battle! ”

Guiyu left happily, and Ogedai looked at his son's back and shook his head gently.

Gui You is brave in battle, and his personality is also gentle and filial, but he is too indecisive and does not understand civil affairs, and it is difficult to entrust big things.

"Han Chijin, are you okay?"

Seeing Han Chijin leading the horse back again, Wo Kuotai's face was gentle and he smiled slightly.

Han Chijin looked at the surroundings and saw that there was no one around, and then stepped forward and whispered.

"Great Khan, if the sky can't fall in the blizzard, I'm afraid I have to consider retreating. On Torre's side, something might have happened. ”

Han Chijin left with a lot of worries, and Wo Kotai's brows furrowed.

It seems that the war is difficult, and everyone in the army is worried.

Finish this battle early, collect your troops early, and return to the grassland.

Hunting, wine, beauty, life is too short, there are too many things to enjoy, why bother to face these bad things?

The Mongol army on the mountain was besieged, and the camp of the Jin army besieging the mountain below the mountain was also gloomy and bleak, and everyone was worried.

"Move to Pua, our army's grain and grass will run out, so let's retreat to Junzhou City for repairs first. The Tatar army is sniping at our army, and there is no threat to Bianliang City. ”

The deputy marshal of the army finished his face and spoke, frowning.

The siege of the Mongol army in the morning was also because the grain and grass were about to run out, and the soldiers were hungry to attack the mountains, so they had to retreat.

The Mongolian West Road army that borrowed the Song Realm has never been traced, which makes the stone in his heart hang all the time, and it is difficult to feel at ease.

"Our army went north from Junzhou, and the rebels from all walks of life joined one after another. Now the army has reached 1450,000 people, and there are many people, but there is no supply of grain and grass. Stay a moment longer, and give the Tatar army a chance to take advantage of it, or withdraw to Junzhou City first, and then fight a decisive battle with the Tatar army. ”

The golden soldier general of the immortal wind and bones, the Hengshan Gongwu Immortal, stroked his sparse beard, and his eyebrows were full of gloom.

When Wu Xian was a Jin general, he once surrendered to Mongolia, and later killed Shi Tianni, the commander of the Mongolian Hebei Han Army, and Peng Yibin, the leader of the Southern Song Dynasty's loyal and righteous army, resisted Mongolia, rebelled against Mongolia, and later reinstated the title of Hengshan Gong.

This time, the Mongolian West Road army borrowed the Song realm, and Wuxian went to Dengzhou to join forces with Wanyan Heda and Yirapua Army, intending to prevent the Mongolian army from attacking Bianliang City through Dengzhou, and then received the holy decree of the Golden Emperor Wanyan Shouxu and returned to Bianliang City Qinwang.

"This kind of tossing and turning from the south to the north is like urging life. If you are in such a hurry, you will be hungry and cold, and sooner or later you will be eaten by the Tatar army! ”

The fierce general Gao Ying had a black face and complained angrily.

If it weren't for the emperor's urging, why would it be so hasty. In the cold winter, many soldiers in the army did not even bring winter clothes, once the weather is cold and the freeze is frozen, can they still fight?

He hesitated, speechless for a moment.

In fact, he also regretted that he was too anxious, and the army's food and grass were only enough for a normal march. was obstructed by the Mongol army in this way, and there was a shortage of food and grass, and he was in a dilemma.

However, when he thought of the emperor's cold face, his heart hardened a lot.

"The crisis in Bianliang City, Your Majesty ordered King Qin, and I was also forced to do so."

He coughed lightly and opened his mouth.

In any case, he only brought food and grass for more than ten days, and he didn't bring all the winter clothes of the soldiers, and he, the coach, could not escape the blame.

"Although our army and the Tatar army have won and lost each other, the Torre department has never appeared, so it is better to be careful. In the event that the Torre Division appeared and attacked from the front and rear, our army would not suffer a great loss. In my opinion, it is better to leave for Bianliang City immediately. Your Majesty's will, who would dare to disobey it? ”

After the loyal and filial piety army raised the control of Yan Chen, monk Chen said, and he was always vigilant against the Torre Department of the Mongolian West Road Army.

"The Torre Department has not shown up for a long time, so it will not be defeated by the Song army, right? Otherwise, why hasn't there been movement for so long? ”

Yang Woyan, the fierce general, interjected curiously.

It stands to reason that the two sides of the Three Peaks were at war, and the Mongol army suffered many casualties, so Torre had no reason to stand on the sidelines. The only reason for this was why the Torre Department was thwarted from marching.

And the Song army's resistance is probably the only reasonable explanation.

"What Yang Woyan said is! Let's not talk about whether the Torre Department can succeed through the Song Realm, the tens of thousands of Song troops in Xiangyang are eyeing each other, even if the Torre army arrives, the Song army will not easily let Torre cross the river. ”

At the mention of Torre, Gao Ying's face turned excited, and he immediately joined the conversation again.

"Will the Tatars collude with the Song people, let the Torre Department sneak across the Han River, secretly hide somewhere, and want to sneak attack our army?"

The Immortal Wind Dao Bone Martial Immortal stroked his beard and made a bold assumption.

Historically, Torre led the Mongol army to forcibly take advantage of the road and broke through more than a dozen cities in Sichuan, including Fengzhou, Chuzhou, Xingyuanfucheng, Yangzhou, and Lizhou, and more than 70 warehouses of grain were looted and burned, and hundreds of thousands of Sichuan people were slaughtered.

The Mongol army threatened Gui Ruyuan, the envoy of Sichuan, Gui Ruyuan was so frightened that he provided military rations to the Mongol army, and also sent troops as a guide, leading the Mongolian army on the west road of Tuolei out of Raofeng Pass, from Jinzhou along the Han River to the east, arrived in Dengzhou, and forced Kaifeng.

Although history has shifted, Torre's troops were wiped out in Hanzhong, and Torre died, but Wu Xian's worries were not unreasonable.

"If it was before, it was still possible. Now, I'm afraid ......."

Wanyan Heda, one of the coaches, shook his head slightly.

"I have met Emperor Song, a fierce man who hates the Tatars. Since his accession to the throne, he has repeatedly opposed the Tatars, not to mention the rescue of Western Xia, and also captured Hexi from the Tatars. Now that he has gathered heavy troops on the front line of Xiangyang, he should not easily let Torre borrow it. There will be a battle between Torre and the Song army. It's just that Hanzhong is thousands of miles away from Nanyang, and you and I don't know what happened and what the war was. ”

After Yan Heda's words, all the generals nodded and felt a lot more relieved.

Emperor Zhao Hong of the Song Dynasty ascended the throne, worked hard, and repeatedly opposed Mongolia, how could he let Torre borrow the way.

As long as the Song army did not collude with the Mongol army, the life of the Dajin Kingdom would be much better.

"The Tatar army is mostly cavalry, and our army is mostly infantry. If it continues northward, I am afraid that the Tatar army will take the opportunity to attack. When the time comes, the gains outweigh the losses, don't say anything about King Qin, I'm afraid that I will collapse first. It is better to withdraw to Junzhou City first, at least the soldiers have replenished their winter clothes, and they will eat well before marching. ”

Wu Xian spoke again and proposed to retreat to Junzhou first.

"Your Majesty issued an edict to King Qin, can you and I resist the decree?"

Monk Wanyan Chen said in a muffled voice again, and no one dared to propose to withdraw to Junzhou.

Remembering the emperor's will, he made a decision against the public opinion.

"Monk Chen is right! Your Majesty's Holy Decree King Qin, we can only move on. Early tomorrow morning, the army will head north, and then resupply when it arrives at Weishi or Zhuxian Town. Anyway, it was only thirty or forty miles away, and it was decided! ”

Even if it is withdrawn to Junzhou, will there be a supply of grain and grass in Junzhou? It's better to go all the way north to Bianliang City and replenish supplies along the way.

As for the Mongol army, follow it if you want. The two sides are evenly matched, is the Jin army still afraid of the Mongol army?

"It seems that this is the only way. However, the Tatar army burned and looted all the way, and if Wei or Zhu Xianzhen did not have supplies, I am afraid it would not be good. ”

Wanyan Heda was helpless, but he did not object to continue north.

As Wanyan Chen Monk and Yira Pua said, who would dare to disobey the emperor's will?

He is the commander of the army, and he is full of words. Coupled with the holy decree urged by the emperor, the generals could only receive the order and retreated one after another.

Wanyan Heda was uneasy in his heart, and he didn't fall asleep in a daze until late at night, and was shouted by the screams of the guards in a trance. When he came to the tent, he saw the heavy snow flying in the sky, the cold wind howling, and he stepped into it, and the snow piled up to his knees, and he couldn't help but be stunned, like falling into an ice cave.

With such heavy snow and cold as this, is this a day of death?
