Chapter 137: Prairie Warlord

Let's talk about Li Jingtian. As soon as he returned to the grassland that day, the green grass and the blue sky and white clouds overhead immediately made Li Jingtian feel a sense of intimacy that he had not seen for a long time. After running home in three steps and two steps, Wang Ying was naturally overjoyed when she saw her son coming back. After sitting down, when asked again, Li Jingtian immediately briefly recounted the experience of this trip. "Since my son has joined the Central Plains Martial Arts Righteous Path, I still need to be filial to your Aunt Lin in the future." After listening to the narration, Wang Ying was expressionless, and it was only after hearing Lin Ziyan's recent situation that a smile appeared and admonished.

'It's the mother, the child wrote it down,' Li Jingtian replied busily. 'Aunt Wang, are you okay at home?' As they spoke, Batu and Bagen went into the house to greet them. 'It's all right! ?..... you guys' Looking at the expressions of the two, Wang Ying couldn't help but be puzzled. 'Aunt Wang, the Great Khan has resumed his status as the commander of Brother Jingtian! Batu stepped forward and replied. 'Oh, since the prince invites me, my son must not delay!' Wang Ying replied, and immediately urged his son.

Li Jingtian did not dare to slack off, so he quickly got up and left the house, and went to the headquarters of the Kipcha with the two of them. After going to meet Jochi, before he could talk about the current war, Jochi first considered Li Jingtian's understanding of the things in the army with his troops. Seeing the inquiry, Li Jingtian answered them one by one with the tactics of war that he had studied before. 'The Great Khan really has a unique vision, you are indeed worthy of being my steppe first-class Badulu!' After some gossip, Jochi couldn't help but praise Li Jingtian.

When he was young, after another round of talking, Jochi even beckoned Li Jingtian to visit the place where the military camp was stationed. When they arrived, they saw that in the midst of the flag hunt here, the uniformly arranged sergeants were all in bright armor and had clear weapons, which was completely different from the peace and quiet of the outside world. "Sure enough, a big war is imminent!" Li Jingtian couldn't help but secretly exclaim.

'Jochi, are your troops ready?' After thinking about it, the Great Khan of Ögedai had already come forward with Chagatai, Tuolei, and a cadre of generals and asked, "Hui Great Khan: Everything is ready; Just wait for the Great Khan to give the order to go on the expedition 'Jochi Ying Dao.' The Kipchak Department is the main force in this expedition! Have you chosen all the people who will lead the troops?' It seems that some of the uneasy Ogedai inquired, 'Although it was lacking in the original, but fortunately the Great Khan was wise; Now that we have this person as the vanguard officer of our department, it can be said that everything is ready; It's time to go on the expedition!' Jochi pointed at Li Jingtian and replied angrily.

'This time, the Kipchak Department is the main force, and the vanguard is the position; It's even more about the morale of our army, and even the success or failure of this gold raid! Have you thought about it all?" Wo Kotai, who was still a little worried, admonished, "I have already thought about it...... Jochi replied, "This Li Jingtian is not only skilled in bowing and horses

The martial arts are outstanding, and this person is also well versed in the art of war; He is a rare leader!'' Is this really the case?' Seeing Jochi's praise, Ogedai couldn't help but be curious.'Hui Khan: This Li Jingtian is not only proficient in the art of leading the army, but also proficient in the use of soldiers; This man led the army to victory in the first battle, and there was no mistake!' Seeing Jochi's swear, it was not good for Wokotai to ask again, so he personally considered Li Jingtian's way of using troops.

Seeing the inquiry, Li Jingtian immediately used the nine places (scattered lands) made by Sun Bin

lightly

Fight for land

Divide the land

Qudi

Powerhouse

Ground

Enclosure

The way of attack and the method of using the army replied.' After a lot of talking, Wo Kotai couldn't help but praise, but after the praise, Wo Kotai immediately frowned and asked coldly, "Li Jingtian, since Jochi is trying to protect you as the vanguard officer this time; How do you think we compare to the Jin Bing? Although the inquiry was really earnest, he looked at the pair in front of him with a stern appearance

Morale is high

a fierce sergeant; Li Jingtian really didn't know how to answer, and couldn't help but be stunned on the spot for a while.

Li Jingtian, the Great Khan is asking you' After a long time, he heard Jochi's reminder, and Li Jingtian came back to his senses and observed again. Even if the soldier carried dry food, it was only enough for three days at most; So rare, if there is a stalemate; Naturally, it is inevitable that we will fall into the situation of running out of food and soldiers! Such a defect must be guarded against.'' This is the way for our Mongol warriors to win...... 'Ogedai refuted a sentence and said: 'We Mongol soldiers have always fought and eaten, and made up for the battle! Therefore, there is no need to spend time and days on the supply of food and grass......'' What the Great Khan said is very true! Imagine a herd of hungry tigers compared to a herd of sheep with plenty of food and grass; Which has the better odds?' Seeing that Li Jingtian seemed to be a little unimpressed, Jochi continued to explain, "So Li Jingtian, although the Nanban has some ways to use soldiers, they must not be rigid; You still need to learn and apply it! At last, Ogedai gave another special encouragement.

'The Great Khan's lesson is very good!' Jingtian should take it to heart.' Li Jingtian showed a look of joy and sincerity. Seeing this, "Good, good, good; That's it!' After smiling with satisfaction, he beckoned everyone to go to the tent and discussed the current situation.'At present, the population of the Kingdom of Jin is four and a half million, and it is estimated according to its practice of recruiting one out of ten; There should be at least 450,000 horses at the moment!' One person stepped forward first to report, 'At present, the Jin State has Yunnei

Dongsheng

Shuozhou

Fuzhou

Hoi Nyeong

Yanjing and other state capitals, plus the Song Dynasty lands that are currently being seized; The place it currently occupies should be ......' and another person came forward to report. "With such a situation in front of you, do you have any good plans?" As soon as the relevant people finished stating the situation in the Jin Kingdom, Wokotai immediately inquired.

In view of the disparity in the strength of the two sides, if we can raise troops from Yunnei, first attack Fuzhou, where its heavy troops are stationed, cut off its troops, and enter its hinterland, and then join several large armies to directly besiege Yanjing, the capital of Jin, then the Jin State will also be able to fight peacefully! Seeing that all the generals were worried and silent, Li Jingtian stepped forward and preached on the map. What Li Jingtian said was exactly what Ben Khan wanted! In this way, this opportunity to attack Yunnei and Fuzhou was handed over to Li Qing's family. After some meticulous deduction, Wokotai, who was greatly praised, awarded Li Jingtian the seal on the spot.

Receiving this important task, as soon as the handsome account came out, Li Jingtian even planned with Jochi and others to attack Yunnei. This Yunnei city borders both Mongolia and Jin, and because it is located in a border fortress, according to intelligence analysis, at least 50,000 Jin soldiers are stationed here! Although it is not easy to get along here, Li Jingtian listened to the report on the situation; after carefully surveying the terrain here, he only selected 2,000 soldiers and ordered people to make more than 10,000 straw bags. 'With such a small force, can Yunnei, who is stationed with tens of thousands of heavy troops, be defeated?' Although the people were suspicious in their hearts, they thought that the Great Khan had spoken first, but they also had to force their doubts and prepare according to his requirements.

A few days later, seeing that everything was ready, Li Jingtian ordered his men and horses, and sent troops from the ancient Tumut tribe on the Mongolian side to launch an attack on Yunnei City. According to the plan in advance, the vanguard besieging the city only needed to lure out the golden soldiers in Yunnei City and lead them all the way to the ground of Gutumut, and the battle would be regarded as a great success; all those who set out on the expedition would be credited with the first merit! Therefore, after a brief confrontation with the Jin soldiers outside the city, the more than 1,000 soldiers who were the first to attack the city immediately feigned defeat and retreated; and they retreated all the way to the Mongolian side.

It seems that this Mongol general is indeed a group of straw bales who do not know how to do military affairs!' At this time, after watching the battle with the head of the city, the golden soldiers of Yunnei City saw that the good opportunity had come, and with a heart for meritorious service, he immediately ordered the 80,000 golden soldiers in the city to pour out of the nest and pursue them all the way. Seeing that the Jin soldiers were approaching the gate of Mongolia, Li Jingtian revealed the mystery. It turned out that when Li Jingtian was inspecting the terrain that day, he saw that there was an almost dry boundary river Yunnei River at the junction of Mongolia and Jinjin, and he came up with a method of controlling the water to destroy the enemy: first ordered people to fill straw bags with sand and soil and plug them in the upper reaches of the Yunnei River, and then only waited for the Jin soldiers to pass through the completely dry riverbed, and then used a strange plan to kill them in one fell swoop!

Therefore, when he saw that the Jin soldiers were chasing all the way and had already passed through the riverbed, Li Jingtian immediately ordered people to take out all the Yongsai straw bags from the upper reaches, and the river water, which had been silted up for many days, immediately poured down from the upper reaches of the river. In less than a day, not only did he kill tens of thousands of golden soldiers, but he also broke through Yunnei City in one fell swoop!

Just 2,000 men and horses killed tens of thousands of gold soldiers and captured Yunnei City? The details are not detailed here. Although the trick worked, Li Jingtian, who won the first battle, did not dare to be careless. Immediately afterwards, he began to plan carefully to capture Fuzhou. According to the spy report: This Fuzhou faces the west of Yanjing, the central capital. As an important place to defend the capital of the Jin Kingdom, there are not only more than 100,000 gold soldiers stationed here, but also the commander of the city and the children of the royal family. As for the more than 100,000 gold soldiers here, in addition to the more than 20,000 people stationed in the city, the remaining 100,000 horses were stationed in Wusha Castle and Wuyue Camp respectively......
