Chapter 873. Potential (end).

……

……

After the Mongol coalition invaded the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it was smooth sailing at the beginning, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was like a bamboo. But since the attack on Jiezhou City, the actions of the Mongol coalition army began to suffer repeated setbacks, not only the attack on Jiezhou City made no progress, but also the Zhenning Acropolis that was finally captured, and the Han army, which was originally timid and weak, was even more ready to move, forcing the commander of the Mongol coalition army, Bagen, to continue to divide his troops.

However, it was said that after Su He, Amur, and Yasda led the troops to aid the Gugen army on the Acropolis of Zhenning, Bagen fell into an inexplicable restlessness, and there was always a faint uneasiness in the depths of his heart, but Bagen never found where this uneasiness came from.

As a result, this inexplicable uneasiness made Bagan's temper extremely irritable, and the Mongol leaders under his command would be severely punished for the slightest mistake, which made the entire Mongol coalition army panic.

The next day, Bagan once again personally commanded the Mongol coalition army to storm the Acropolis of Zhenning.

At this time, because of the two consecutive divisions of troops, the Mongol coalition army under the command of Bagen only had more than 26,000 people left, including more than 1,000 wounded soldiers, which can be said to be a great reduction in strength.

A few days ago, the strength of the Mongolian coalition army was as high as more than 50,000, and the logistics were sufficient, and the morale of the army was at its peak, and it was not yet possible to quickly break through the city of Jiezhou.

Therefore, this day's siege was still in vain in the end, even if Bagan was furious and killed three unfavorable Mongol leaders in a row, it was still unable to change the status quo.

It wasn't until the middle of the evening that it was getting dark and impossible to see, and Bagan finally reluctantly withdrew his troops.

At one time, Bagen did not think that it would be very difficult for the Mongol coalition army to break through the city of Jiezhou, because when Bagen followed Geldan to invade the countries in southern Xinjiang, it was never difficult to break through the city, and the Han people were notoriously cowardly and cowardly, and they were not at all the opponents of the Mongol coalition army.

However, when Bagen really began to attack the Acropolis of Zhenning, he realized his miscalculation - the cities of the Han people and the so-called "cities" of the southern Xinjiang countries are completely two different concepts, whether it is the height and thickness of the city wall, the width of the moat, or the perfection of the defensive measures are not the same, and the combat effectiveness of the Han army in the defense of the city is much stronger than usual, but the Mongolian cavalry, which claims to be invincible in the field, has not been able to exert its full strength when attacking the city......

After this period of siege was unfavorable, Bagen had already faintly sensed that it would be difficult for the Mongol coalition army to break through Jiezhou City in a short period of time!

It's just that Bagan has been reluctant to admit it.

Or rather, Bargan didn't dare to admit that he had such an idea.

In order to attack Jiezhou City, the Mongol coalition army has spent a lot of energy, spent a lot of resources, and sacrificed a lot of troops, if nothing is achieved in the end, not only will all the previous investments be wasted, but it will also be difficult for the Mongolian tribes to survive this winter, and the Dzungar Khanate, as the leader of this war, will also have a serious damage to its prestige, and it will even affect the Dzungar Khanate's ambition to unify the Mongolian tribes!

Bagan is usually a very responsible person, but he still can't afford such a big responsibility!

Therefore, even if he was faintly aware of the final result in his heart, Bagen still didn't dare to face the facts, so he could only be lucky, constantly hypnotizing himself that "maybe tomorrow with a little more strength will be able to break the city", "the Han people will soon be unable to hold on", "the Mongolian warriors are invincible", just like a gambler who does not hesitate to gamble his remaining net worth in order to change his life!

Of course, gamblers with such a mentality will mostly end up with nothing to lose.

In fact, on this very night, Bagan's luck psychology was completely shattered!

*

However, it was said that that night, after the Mongol coalition army Mingjin withdrew its troops, Bagen hurriedly returned to the big camp and began to think hard about the strategy of attacking Jiezhou City.

But no matter how hard he thought about it, Bagen still couldn't think of any effective strategy that could break through Jiezhou City in a short period of time.

This made Bagan's mood even more irritable.

Just as Bagan began to consider whether to gather all the generals of the Mongol coalition army to brainstorm, someone suddenly entered the tent and asked for instructions, saying that Tanma from the west had an urgent military situation to report to Baghan.

After hearing the "urgent military situation", Bagan couldn't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly summoned Tanma to ask for detailed information.

Soon, a scout entered Bagen's tent, his expression full of anxiety and panic.

Seeing the expression of this scout, Bagen had a faint premonition in his heart, but on the surface he was still calm, and asked in a deep voice: "What is it that makes you so flustered?" But the Han army is moving again? ”

The scout horse knelt in front of Bagan and reported urgently: "Lord Bagen, more than 70 miles west of Jiezhou City, a large-scale Han army has been discovered, about 30,000 people, including at least seven or eight thousand cavalry, and now this Han army is slowly approaching in the direction of our army!" ”

"What! Another large-scale Han Chinese army appeared? Bagan couldn't help but feel that the development of things had exceeded his worst predictions, and subconsciously retorted: "How is it possible?!" This is the Guyuan Army Town Defense Area of the Han people, and the main force of the Guyuan Military Town is now near the Zhenning Acropolis, why is there a Han army of this size again? No way! There is no way ......"

However, halfway through the words, Bagan's complexion changed again!

Because, Bagan suddenly thought of a possibility!

This suddenly appeared Han army with a scale of more than 30,000, and it could never be the strength of Guyuan Military Town, because Guyuan Military Town is now unable to mobilize an army of this size, so this army is definitely not the strength of Guyuan Military Town!

But just to the west of the Guyuan military town, there is also the Gansu military town of the Han people!

Therefore, this Han army is likely to be the reinforcement of the Gansu military town to support the Guyuan military town!

If this is the case, the situation will become very serious for the Mongol coalition forces!

Because, the army of the Gansu military town rushed to the defense area of the Guyuan military town to support, which means that the major military towns in the Han border are likely to have begun joint operations!

In recent years, due to the increasingly low control of the trilateral governors over the border armies, they have been unable to mobilize the major military towns to coordinate operations, and the major military towns are also self-respecting and only want to preserve their own strength.

The reason why the Mongol coalition army dared to unscrupulously storm Jiezhou City during this period of time, and was not worried that they would fall into the encirclement of the Han army, was because the major military towns in the border areas of the Ming Dynasty had been in the style of "cleaning the snow in front of their doors and caring about the frost on the tiles of others" over the years, and it was rare for them to support and cooperate with each other!

Therefore, when the Mongol coalition army attacked Jiezhou City, it was originally thought that they only needed to face the threat of Guyuan Military Town, and with the strength of the Mongol coalition army, they could easily deal with it.

Even, at the very beginning, there were many Mongolian generals who were optimistic that all the Han troops were shrunken turtles, and when they attacked Jiezhou City, even Guyuan Military Town did not dare to send troops to support, leaving the Mongolian coalition army with plenty of time to attack Jiezhou City.

However, the sudden appearance of the main army of Guyuan Military Town two days ago has shattered the dream of the Mongols, and now there are large-scale reinforcements from the Gansu military town in the direction west of Jiezhou City, which means that the major military towns of the Han people have begun to act together, and the Mongolian coalition army may fall into the encirclement of the Han army at any time, which can be described as a great danger!

Thinking of this, Bagan's expression was solemn and his heartstrings tensed, and he subconsciously summoned several leaders of the Mongolian coalition to discuss countermeasures.

However, as the saying goes, "Blessings are incomparable, disasters do not go alone", just as Bagen was about to gather all the generals of the Mongolian coalition army, another guard hurriedly rushed into the tent, his expression was extremely flustered, and reported to Bagen: "Lord Bagen, something is wrong!" ”

Bagen's heart tightened again, and he frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" Could it be that the Han army is coming? Are the Han people so daring? ”

I saw that the guard's face was pale, and he said in a panic: "Lord Bagen, the army that went out of the camp yesterday to support Lord Gugen on the Zhenning Acropolis has returned, but there are only less than two thousand people left, all of them are wounded and embarrassed, and the three leaders of Yasda, Amur, and Suhe are only Su Yiren, and it seems that they have suffered a fiasco...... Lord Suhe hurried here after returning to the camp, and is now kneeling outside the tent waiting for your summons! ”

"What!"

After hearing this report, Bagen's body trembled, and his face was also pale!

If the Mongol army supporting the Acropolis of Zhenning suffered a crushing defeat, then it means that the army under the command of Gugan near the Acropolis of Zhenning may also be more than lucky!

These two armies, combined, have 20,000 soldiers and horses, accounting for nearly half of the total strength of the Mongol coalition army!

The most important thing is that these troops are all descendants and servant armies of the Dzungar Khanate!

If so many troops were suddenly lost, it would be a great loss of vitality for the entire Dzungar Khanate!

Thinking of this, even if Bagen is tenacious, he can't help but feel a little flustered in his heart.

But in the end, Bagen still forcibly calmed down, and ordered with a calm face: "Let Su He come in and see me!" Also, order the leaders of the tribes in the camp to come here as soon as possible! ”

Then, Bagen took a deep breath and tried his best to calm the emotions in his heart, waiting for Su He, he was also constantly comforting himself in his heart: "Impossible! Suhe and Yasda could never have suffered a defeat! My Mongol warriors are the bravest, and they will never be defeated by the cowardly Han Chinese......"

And just as Bagan was comforting himself, Su He had already hurriedly entered the tent.

I saw that Su He's image was full of embarrassment at this time, his hair was scattered, his robe was tattered, he was covered in blood, and his expression was full of panic and pain. The two leaders of Yasda and Amur were all killed in battle, and the villain also fought hard to break out of the encirclement, but there were only more than 1,500 soldiers left, and the rest of the soldiers were all lost on the battlefield of Xiaochuanhe......"

Su He's cry completely shattered the luck in Bagen's heart, and all the ominous premonitions were fulfilled at this moment!

As Su He's words fell, Bagenton felt that the world was spinning, and he only felt that the general trend of this battle had gradually deviated from him!

The war situation has developed to this point, the battle in Jiezhou City has not made any progress for a long time, the Mongolian coalition army is strength has been damaged again and again, and the major military towns of the Han people have faintly shown signs of joint action, the most important thing for Bagen at present is not to find a way to break through Jiezhou City and loot grain and grass slaves, leading the remaining Mongolian coalition troops to return to the Mongolian steppe safely is his top priority!

*

Among the large camps of the Mongol coalition army, two tents are the most conspicuous.

One is Bagan's tent, while the other is Siegmu's tent.

Since the Dzungar Khanate and the Mongolian right-wing tribes formed a Mongolian coalition, Sigmu, as a representative of the Mongolian right-wing tribes, can be said to be competing with Bagen everywhere for the limelight, and he is unwilling to be compared to Bagan in any matter.

Therefore, the camp where Siegmu lived was not inferior to Bagen's tent, not only was the area comparable to Bagen's, but it was even better in terms of luxury and comfort!

But at this time, this luxurious and comfortable tent was full of the smell of blood.

Yesterday, because Bagen suspected that Wang Quan and Wang Ying were the spies arranged by the Han Chinese, the two became prisoners, and Sigmu took the opportunity to get the right to interrogate the two of them.

After Wang Quan betrayed the Ordos tribe and turned to Bagan, he was regarded as a great shame by Sigmu, and after he got the right to interrogate Wang Quan, it was a great opportunity to vent his resentment, and he tortured Wang Quan and Wang Ying with various tortures that night.

That night, after the Mongol coalition army Mingjin withdrew its troops, Bagen hurriedly returned to his tent to think about how to break the city, and Zigmu also hurriedly returned to his camp, and couldn't wait to use all kinds of torture tools to continue to torture Wang Quan and Wang Ying.

"Lord Sigmu, the villain is really bent on joining the Mongol coalition army, and he is definitely not a spy of the Han court! Lord Qi Gemu, you know, the villain's family was wiped out by the Han Qin sent Zhao Junchen, the villain and the Han court have a common enmity, and the villain will never betray the Mongol coalition! …… No! No! Don't! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Ahh

In Sigmu's tent, Wang Quan and Wang Ying were trapped on wooden stakes and tortured and abused by Sigmu.

Wang Ying was born in the border army in the end, and his performance was relatively tough, and he could still grit his teeth and persist in one or two when he was tortured and abused, so as not to be too out of shape, but Wang Quan was born as a businessman after all, and he has always been pampered, where can he bear these pains? Every time he was tortured, he cried and screamed, and his performance was extremely unbearable, and he even had incontinence.

At this time, at the signal of Sigmu, a Mongolian guard took a few bamboo sticks and stabbed Wang Quan's fingertips, completely ignoring Wang Quan's shouts and begs for mercy.

In the end, all Wang Quan's shouts and begs for mercy turned into a terrible scream!

Siegmu, on the other hand, was half-lying on a chair covered with fur, watching Wang Quan's cries and screams with interest, his eyes flashing with pleasure.

After this torture was over, Qi Gemu sat up slightly straighter, his eyes were fixed on Wang Quan, and he sneered: "Oh? You say you didn't betray the Mongol coalition? To be honest, I don't believe that you are a spy of the Han people, your Wang family and our Ordos tribe are also old friends, I don't know your details yet? You don't have what it takes to be a spy...... But, even if you didn't betray the Mongol coalition, you did betray the Ordos tribe! My Ordos troops treat you well, you dare to take refuge in Bagen without saying a word, and let Bagen take the opportunity to humiliate me? Do you know how embarrassed I was? …… Hah, you can't think of it, right? Bagan eventually abandoned you, and you fell into my hands! Do you think I'm going to take the opportunity to settle accounts with you? ”

At this time, Wang Quan had been tortured to death, and after hearing Sigmu's words, he couldn't help but look desperate, and begged for mercy again: "Lord Sigmu, I was just revenge at that time, not to betray the Ordos tribe...... I'm still useful, I can raise food for the Ordos tribe......"

Zigmu sneered, "Regret? It's late! ”

As he spoke, Sigmu waved his hand and motioned for the Mongol warriors in the tent to continue the torture.

At this time, a Mongolian guard suddenly walked into the camp and walked to Sigmu's side, whispering a few words to Sigmu.

Then, I saw Sigmu's expression suddenly change drastically, and he exclaimed, "What did you say? The military town of Gansu sent troops to support Jiezhou City? Suhe and Amur's army supporting Gugan suffered a great defeat and almost wiped out? How can it be! ”

With Sigmu's exclamation, Wang Ying, who was about to be tortured, suddenly trembled slightly, and slowly raised his head to look at Sigmu, his eyes flashing with essence.
