373 plan

Yu He hid in the bushes with his black-armored cavalry, and seeing that the battle had become a stalemate, he knew that the best time for his surprise attack had arrived.

Turning his head and whistling, he took the lead and rushed out, only to rush under Torre's royal banner.

Torre was on a stone pile outside Xiangyang City at this time, watching the Mongol army attacking the city, and sighed to the left and right: "Guo Jing'an is so powerful in using troops, but unfortunately he can't serve my Mongolia, but instead helps the cowardly Southern Song Dynasty to fight against my Mongolia, alas." The Southern Song Dynasty army was so weak, and under the leadership of Guo Jing'anda, it was a pity that it was able to stop our Mongolian army. ”

A person next to him hurriedly said: "General, that Guo Jing doesn't know what to do, he doesn't know the time, and he tries to block the heavenly army, and he will definitely be crushed under the general's iron horse." The general didn't have to bother with him. ”

This man was a county commander of a city when the Mongol army attacked the city before, and he defected to the Mongol army.

Before Torre could speak, one of the generals behind him said angrily: "You little man who can only slap horses, if you say more, I will send you to the death camp." ”

What is the death camp, that is, every time the city is attacked, those people who carry sandbags and sacks to fill the moat are generally foreigners captured by the Mongolian army.

The county commander was immediately shocked and slapped himself in the mouth and said, 'The little ones should be damned, the little ones should be damned.' ”

The general behind Torre snorted and said to Torre: "Fourth Highness, the Xiangyang city wall is high and thick, and they seem to be very well prepared, we have suffered a lot of losses." ”

Torre nodded, "Yes, but we can't win by running out of food and grass in the city. Xiangyang City is an important town, and the grain and grass in it must be very sufficient. We're going to have to storm it. ”

At this time, the Han county commander suddenly said: "Your Highness, the villain has a plan to break this Xiangyang City." ”

Torre suddenly became interested and said, "Oh, speak up and listen." ”

The county ordered: "Your Highness, we can arrest the people in the villages around Xiangyang City and let them attack the city, and then the military spirit in Xiangyang City will be in chaos, and it will be easy to break through Xiangyang City." ”

Torre nodded, feeling that the idea was cruel though. But it's also a good idea. Compared with the Mongolian elite soldiers who died so much, Torre still preferred to choose the Han Chinese people to die.

Torre nodded happily and said, "Very good, not bad, this matter will be handled by you." Zaritz. You'll take a thousand cavalry with you later. Go with this county order to the villages around Xiangyang City to catch some people and come back. ”

Zaritz was the general who had just scolded the prefectural order. He immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Fourth Highness." ”

Then he turned to the county order and said, "Let's go." ”

The two of them left on their own, ordering a thousand cavalry to leave.

Torre then turned his head and continued to look at the battlefield.

Suddenly, Torre said to the guards beside him, "Did you hear anything?" ”

The guards around were a little confused. At this time, the shouting and killing on the battlefield are so intense, what else is there to hear.

Torre dismounted, and felt it quietly, when suddenly Torre shouted, "Oh no, a large group of cavalry is rushing over."

Torre grew up on the grassland since he was a child, and when the cavalry attacked, the shaking of the earth was very familiar to him, and at this time, there was a regular vibration under his feet, which was obviously the impact of the cavalry.

Torre flipped on his horse. shouted loudly: "Mingjin withdraws the troops". Then he turned to his guards and said, "You go and inform Totok, let him not mess up when he retreats, and beware of the army in the city rushing out." Then he said to the rest of his guards: "You guys, turn back with me and kill the enemy." ”

Torre's Guards numbered no more than two hundred. However, there are still a few generals here, and there are five or six hundred Mongol soldiers in total. Torre led the group of cavalry and reflexively rushed to the rear, only to see a black cavalry, surging like a tide.

Torrey felt a chill in his heart, knowing that he must stop this cavalry, otherwise the thousands of elite soldiers who attacked the city would all be buried here. yelled: "Long live the Immortal Heaven." Rushed towards the Black Armor Army led by Yu He. Yu He saw a familiar general rushing over with four or five hundred cavalry, and smiled in his heart, with these four or five hundred Mongolian soldiers alone, you want to stop yourself, you think too highly of yourself.

When he got closer, Yu He was happy in his heart, he was an acquaintance, and his status was not low, but he was Temujin's fourth son, Torre.

Yu He's spear was originally going to stab the opposite general, after recognizing Torrey, Yu He changed the stab to pick, close to the moment, the spear shook, hit the weapon in Torre's hand, stabbed and picked, picked Torre's belt, slid along the spear, a point, put Torre on the back of his horse, the spear instantly burst out of silver flowers, stabbed to death more than ten Mongolian soldiers.

The Mongolian soldiers didn't expect Torre to be captured in an instant, and they panicked, and Yu He took advantage of the situation to lead the army like a bamboo. Four or five hundred Mongol soldiers lasted only a few moments before they were killed. And Yu He's cavalry team only lost less than 100 people.

Yu He continued to rush to the battlefield with the cavalry.

At this time, the battlefield was another form, Guo Jing was killed in the dark, and suddenly heard the sound of the horn, and his heart was relieved, the Mongolian army actually retreated, although it was very strange, but he was still very happy, and he had some time to rest.

Tokhtar was commanding a large army not far from the city at this time, and suddenly received Torre's order to retreat, although he was very puzzled, but the military order was like a mountain, and he immediately called the gold to withdraw his troops. Being able to sit in the position of the commander of ten thousand people, he naturally has real talent and learning, and the withdrawal of troops was orderly, and Guo Jing was not given the opportunity to pursue while he was victorious.

The Mongol soldiers were collecting their troops, and suddenly they heard a shocking cry. But it was Yu Heyun who shouted with all his internal strength: "Torre is dead, and the Mongolian army has not surrendered quickly." In the midst of the shouting, he had already rushed into the Mongol soldiers who had just been withdrawn from the battlefield with the Black Armor Army.

As we all know, after strenuous exercise, you can't relax immediately, otherwise you will get more and more tired. The current group of Mongolian soldiers is in this state, just coming down from the battlefield, relaxed in their hearts, ready to rest and eat, but they didn't expect to rush out of the base camp A black-armored elite soldier killed anyone he saw. Immediately, they were slashed and fled in all directions, wanting to raise weapons to resist. But he had no strength.

And the commander of the ten thousand soldiers also discovered this situation in an instant, and he immediately made a decision, and immediately wanted to organize the soldiers who had just retreated from the city wall to gather and set up a formation. Then they fled to the south, Xiangyang City in the east, and the Black Armor Army in the west. Toto's reaction was indeed fast, but Totoku suddenly remembered that the fourth prince Torrey.

Tokhtar hurried to Torre's guards and asked him about Torre's condition.

The guards said that Torre had gone with his soldiers to stop the Black Armor.

Tokhta's heart was cold, and Prince Torre went to stop the Black Armor Army. And now the Black Armor Army is here. It can only mean one thing, Torre is dead.

The fourth prince is dead, and he still has a way to live. Take off, and feel a chill in my heart. With their own guards. Gather soldiers on the battlefield. Soon three or four thousand Mongol troops were gathered. The black-armored cavalry that rushed towards Yu He.

At this time, Guo Jing on the city wall also discovered that a group of black cavalry was attacking the Mongol army.

Guo Jing was overjoyed in his heart, and he also understood why the Mongolian army would retreat. Immediately organize the soldiers who still have strength in Xiangyang City. Qi got on his horse and rushed out of Xiangyang City directly, killing the three or four thousand Mongolian soldiers who had escaped.

At this time, Tokhtar was already determined to die, and he didn't think too much about it at all. Seeing Guo Jing and Yu He rushing together, he let his lieutenant rush in the direction of Guo Jing in Xiangyang City, and he rushed in the direction of Yu He.

is just a 10,000-strong commander, Yu He naturally will not show mercy to his subordinates, and with a single spear, he directly stabbed this Mongolian army's 10,000-strong commander to the heart. With a flick of the spear, several Mongolian soldiers were smashed, and Yu He rushed in with the cavalry, like a black python, killing wantonly under the leadership of Yu He, and three or four thousand Mongolian soldiers went back and forth, and only half of them were killed.

However, the Mongols did not escape, and all of them were killed.

After the battle, Guo Jing sent people to clean up the battlefield, and when he arrived at Yu He's side, he saw Torre lying on horseback.

Guo Jing stepped forward and said, "Brother Yu, Torre." ”

Yu He smiled: "Why, I still miss the old love, there is no father and son on the battlefield, I don't know what to do." Now you are enemies, not brothers. ”

Guo Jing nodded and said, "Let's go first, although we eliminated the vanguard of the Mongolian army this time, they still have a large army in the rear and have not come." Brother Yu, what should we do? ”

Yu He said with a smile: "Don't worry, our reinforcements will arrive soon, since the imperial court knows that the Mongolian army is attacking, it will naturally not only let us resist, but will definitely transfer troops from other places to help." ”

Guo Jing nodded.

Yu He suddenly reached out to untie Torre's acupoint. As soon as Torre was free, he waved his hand at Yu He, who flicked his hand and knocked Torre down and fell to the ground.

Guo Jing went over to hold Torre.

Torre said angrily: "Guo Jing, why don't you help us Mongolia, you grew up in Mongolia since you were a child, what kindness did the Southern Song Dynasty have to you, it is worth you to help him." ”

Guo Jing muttered, but didn't say anything.

Yu He said: "Because you Mongols are too tyrannical, you didn't capture a single place, and then you killed on a large scale. The bones of the people who died under your Mongol iron horses are innumerable. Naturally, we can't let you capture the Southern Song Dynasty, Tore boy, I advise you to give up, Mongolia will be destroyed by us sooner or later. ”

Torre didn't speak, as a prisoner, Yu He had already made him clearly realize that he was not a noble fourth prince now, but a prisoner.

Entered Xiangyang City. A group of soldiers are cleaning up the ruined city of Xiangyang. After the end of the war, there was a depression everywhere, and the bustling city of Xiangyang was a little gloomy at this time.

Yu He looked at Xiangyang City and said: "What a prosperous city, but because of the arrival of your Mongols, it has become so depressed and bleak, Torrey, you say, what is the use of your Mongols laying down such a large territory, isn't it still just buried in an arm's land after death." ”

Torre sneered: "Such a prosperous and wealthy place, only our noble Mongolians can enjoy it, you southerners, cowardly, big officials all day long, I don't know the happiness and hardships of the people below, how can you enjoy this beautiful world." Only we Mongolians, noble golden families, are worthy. ”

Yu He sneered and said, "Then you just wait to see how the people of your noble Golden Family kneel under my iron horse." ”

Yu He waved his hand to find a soldier and put Torre in prison.

…………

Ogedai led tens of thousands of troops in the rear, waiting for Torre's good news. Unexpectedly, what I was waiting for was the news that the 10,000 vanguard army had been wiped out, and Torre's life and death were unknown.

Ogedai was furious, and was about to flee back to report to his own soldiers.

After the anger subsided. Ogedai found the soldiers who had fled from the battlefield and asked the reason for Torre's defeat, only to learn that a cavalry had broken through from the rear during Torre's siege, and drove all the way in, killing the entire Torre army.

Moreover, Wokotai also knew that this black cavalry was extremely strong, and it was not inferior to his own Mongolian cavalry.

Wokotai knows the way, marching and fighting, the most important thing is to control his anger. Otherwise, it will surely be taken advantage of by the enemy.

Ogedai immediately summoned Jochi and Chagatai. There are also kings and generals. Discuss the attack on Xiangyang City.

When the entire Torre vanguard army was wiped out and the news of Torre's fate unknown was announced by Ogedei, all the generals and princes were very angry, and everyone decided to take Xiangyang immediately. The slaughter of the city was revenge for Torre.

Ogedai told them what had been said about the rout who had fled. Everyone was very surprised and wary of the black cavalry that Ogedai said. Although they all shouted that they were going to slaughter Xiangyang City. However, none of them are fools, and Zhilu Dao has wiped out even Torre's 10,000-strong army, and Xiangyang City cannot be taken lightly.

The most rear. Everyone decided that the army would move together and attack Xiangyang City. In front of an army of nearly 100,000, no matter how powerful the black armor army is, he will use people to kill them.

On the other side, after waiting for two days, all the infantry of the Black Armor Army trained by Yu He also arrived in Xiangyang City.

Well-equipped, morale is strong, Yu He suddenly has confidence, can hold Xiangyang, as long as he lasts for more than ten days, then the army from all over the country will continue to come over, and then he can force the Mongolian army back, as for the elimination of the Mongolian elite soldiers, Yu He does not think too much, the Mongolian elite soldiers come like the wind, go without a trace, the cavalry moves so fast, Yu He is impossible to destroy the nearly 100,000 Mongolian army.

Unless Yu He can devise a plan. Wipe out the Mongol army.

Water and fire are ruthless, and the weak defeat the strong, there is nothing better than water and fire strategy.

Yu He found Lu Wende and asked if there was any danger near Xiangyang City.

Lu Wende found an official who was familiar with the terrain.

Yu He asked, "Do you know if there is any danger near Xiangyang City, or a narrow valley?"

The official thought for a while and said, "Sixty miles west of Xiangyang City, there is a valley with a narrow road, which only allows one carriage and one person to walk side by side. ”

When Yu He heard this, he gave up this idea in his heart, sixty miles away, and now the Mongolian army has been stationed thirty miles outside Xiangyang City.

Yu He asked the official again if there was a small road that could bypass the Mongol army thirty miles outside the city and go around to the rear of the Mongol army.

Yu He wanted to use the cavalry to wreak havoc in the rear of the Mongol army.

This time, the official did not disappoint Yu He, and told Yu He that a small road could lead directly to the back road of the Mongolian army, but this small road needed to cross mountains and mountains. And only one person is allowed to pass through, so few people take this path, only some hunters or medicine collectors do.

When Yu He learned the news, he went to the trail in the afternoon to investigate, the trail was really narrow, but it was very flat, although it was necessary to cross the mountains and mountains, but it was not a problem to ride through on horseback, as long as some trees on the road were cut down.

At the other exit of the road, there are 500 Mongolian elite soldiers, set up a horse rejection, and set up several arrow towers. With the addition of 500 elite soldiers, it is indeed difficult for a small force to pass through.

It's a pity that the general of the Mongolian army wanted to break his head, and he didn't expect a master like Yu He.

Yu He returned to Xiangyang City, explained to Guo Jing, and left his 8,000 black-armored troops to guard Xiangyang, while he set off with his 2,000 black-armored cavalry. At night, just at the end of the path, Yu He touched it first, killed a few Mongolian soldiers on the arrow tower, and then moved away from the horse, and the two thousand black-armored elite soldiers rushed to kill all the Mongolian soldiers in the humble Mongolian barracks.

Then, taking advantage of the darkness, he disappeared into the rear base camp of the Mongol army.

With the 8,000 black-armored elite soldiers trained by Yu He, plus two days of rest and recuperation, and integrating the defenders in Xiangyang City, Guo Jing can still cope with it. Repelled Wokotai's repeated attacks.

Wokotai didn't care either, he had a large number of troops, and he slowly consumed the defenders in the city, so there was no need to hurry.

In Ogedai's heart, the army of the Great Song Dynasty was very weak, even if there were too many, it would be just a piece of cake for the Mongol soldiers, but he was not worried that troops from other places would rush to support.

However, this is also true, in terms of attack, it is rare in the world to be able to make peace, and the Mongolian army hedges, if the situation is unfavorable, Ogedai can also pull out his legs and leave, and return to the steppe with the army, anyway, the Mongolian army has a strong ability to maneuver. Buyu was chased and killed by the army of the Southern Song Dynasty and was wiped out.

After attacking for two days, Ogedai is a little strange, the military rations that should have been delivered yesterday have not been delivered today. Wokotai thought that the guy who managed the granary was negligent in his duties, forgot the date of delivery of the grain, and sent someone to the granary, and made up his mind to punish the guy who managed the granary.

You must know that when the army marches and fights, grain and grass are very important, and without food and grass, can the soldiers fight hungry.

Wokotai didn't know what to do, his grain delivery team was attacked by Yu He, all the grain and grass sent were burned, and all the soldiers in the grain delivery team were killed.

And Yu He also learned from the mouths of several captives about the place where Ogedai hoarded grain. Prepare to attack the granary of the Mongol army at night.

100,000 Mongolian troops, people eat horses and chew, the daily consumption of grain and grass is innumerable, no grain and grass, at most three days, the Mongolian army naturally retreated, they may take advantage of the victory to pursue, to obtain a big victory is not yet known. If Guo Jing in Xiangyang City can cooperate with him, lead the army to attack when Ogedai withdraws, and attack from the rear of Ogedei, maybe he can make Mongolia collapse this time, at least for more than five years.
