Gao Huaiyuan, who had just woken up, was taken aback when he heard this, judging from the information he received a few days ago, the strength of the Mongolian army to attack Jiezhou City was not too much, in terms of the combat effectiveness of Huang Yan's army, it should not be easily surrounded in Jiangli County, and wanted to encircle Huang Yan's five thousand elite soldiers, the Mongolian army with the same strength, if it wants to achieve this situation, it is unlikely, which means that the Mongolian army is likely to mobilize more soldiers and horses and rushed to the vicinity of Jiangli County.

Where are the scouts now? Gao Huaiyuan's mind turned sharply, and he immediately asked Li Ruohu.

Just outside the tent! Li Ruohu replied immediately.

Let him come in and answer!

Immediately, a bloodstained scout was brought into the tent of Gao Huaiyuan.

Lord Qiyu, the little one encountered a Mongolian scout in the direction of Jianli County last night, and the little one was lucky to catch a prisoner, and after interrogation, he learned that General Huang was now surrounded by 20,000 Mongolian troops in Jiangli County, and the two sides were fighting fiercely! The little one saw that there were a lot of enemy troops in front of him, and he couldn't continue to go out to find out the news, so he turned here!

But on the way back, the little ones noticed a large Mongol army marching towards us, and they seemed to have spotted our whereabouts! As soon as the scout entered the big tent, he immediately knelt down and reported to Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan's mind spun around a few times, and he immediately found that he had committed a taboo, that is, he was too worried about Huang Yan's safety, so much so that he himself was in danger.

He just thought about it for a while, and basically guessed the idea of the Mongolian army, that is, Tuo Lei must want to besiege the city here to send reinforcements, using Jianli County as a bait to eat the Song army that came to aid all the way.

At the moment, Gao Huaiyuan can be sure that the enemy army must have sent a lot of scouts nearby, and they have discovered the whereabouts of their troops and horses, and Tuo Lei must be dispatching troops and horses to surround and eat his troops and horses here.

If Tuo Lei now finds out that this army is the commander of Shuzhong in the Southern Song Dynasty, it is estimated that he will die of laughter, and he may become a great merit on the list of Tuo Lei's merits if he is not careful.

After understanding it, Gao Huaiyuan suddenly regretted it, as a boss, his performance this time can be said to be too inferior, he can be said to have made several mistakes at the same time, one is to advance alone with a small number of troops without knowing the enemy's situation, and the second is because Huang Yan may be in danger, so he lost his calm, regardless of the situation, did not fully consider the situation of the enemy army, and the third is that he did not collect enough enemy information in advance, in short, today he is likely to bring these more than a thousand brothers into a place of no return.

At present, he had two choices, one was to immediately raise troops and retreat towards Qifang Pass, trying not to let the enemy catch up with them, and the other was to immediately build fortifications on the spot, seize a favorable terrain before the enemy army came, resist, and wait for Yue Kun to lead the troops to come and relieve the siege.

He immediately went out of the big tent and looked down, only to find that the mountain road was crowded with many people who had just fled from the front, and he immediately sent people down the mountain to inquire about the situation of these refugees.

Soon the soldiers returned and told Gao Huaiyuan, most of these people are the people of Jiangli County and the surrounding nearby villages, the Mongolian army gathered heavy troops to attack Jiangli County, and it is indispensable to sweep the villages near Jiangli County, as long as they find the villages, almost all of them were slaughtered by the Mongols, after hearing the news, the people of some villages knew that they could not stop the attack of the Mongolian army, so they simply gave up their homes and began to retreat towards the pass, and the Mongolian rangers often chased and killed them, and the people at this time were fleeing in a panic towards the front, The situation is very confusing.

Originally, Gao Huaiyuan planned to avoid it first and retreat to Qifang Pass for the time being, but after seeing the chaos on the road, he immediately changed his attention.

Pass me on the order! The whole army immediately set to work, relying on this mountain to build any defensive fortifications as much as possible, and digging a ditch three hundred steps outside the camp to cover the retreat of these people to the pass! Gao Huaiyuan immediately returned to the big tent and began to make arrangements.

Li Ruohu was anxious when he heard this, and immediately persuaded: Lord, the Mongolian army is coming, the mountain is not steep here, and it is not conducive to defense, and we only have this thousand soldiers, it is likely that we will not be able to stop the attack of the Mongolian army, if we stick to it like this, the lord is really too risky, let's retreat to Qifang Pass first, wait for General Yue and the follow-up soldiers and horses of Chuzhou to arrive at Qifang Pass, and then go out of the pass to relieve the siege of Jiangli County It is safer, please think twice!

Gao Huaiyuan looked at Li Ruohu, shook his head slightly, and said: I'm afraid it's too late, right now the road is full of people fleeing back from the front, even if we retreat now, I'm afraid we won't have time to retreat to Qifang Pass and will be caught up by the Mongolian army, once that happens, we will have no reason to survive!

You go and immediately pass on my general's order, mobilize everyone to work together, build a stone barrier in front, and hold on as much as possible until Yue Kun and his army arrive! In addition, send someone to set off immediately, go back to Qifang Pass first, and urge Yue Kun and Ma Zhong to join forces and come out of the pass to help! Time is running out, it is estimated that the Mongol army will soon come to us, and if we are too long-winded, it will be too late!

Li Ruohu saw that Gao Huaiyuan's mind had been decided, and what Gao Huaiyuan said was also reasonable, the road is now full of refugees who have fled back, even if they retreat now, they will be blocked by the refugees on the road, with Gao Huaiyuan's temper, he will never be so ruthless as to kill the refugees and flee for the road, and the Mongolian army will catch up, there is no such scruples, it will not take long to catch up with them, and once the Mongols catch them on the retreat road, I am afraid that even if they are immortals, there is no reason to survive.

So he immediately nodded and agreed, turned around and began to mobilize the guards and generals, and began to build the imperial fortifications on the spot, determined to fight to the end here, and strive for support until Yue Kun led the troops to relieve the siege.

After Gao Huaiyuan put it neatly in his clothes, he took out the Mo knife he was carrying, strode out of the big tent, and ordered his own soldiers to temporarily replace his handsome flag, so as to confuse the Mongolian army and make it impossible to figure out the identity of their army, and the province was desperately attacked by the Mongolian army at the beginning.

Under the explanation of the pro-soldiers, the whole army quickly figured out the reason, and these people are Gao Huaiyuan's personal escorts, even if they are the generals of the palace front division brought from Beijing, they are all Gao Huaiyuan's diehards, after understanding the situation, although these people are a little nervous, but no one panicked, and then under the leadership of their respective officers, they began to build stone barriers around the camp in an orderly manner.

There is no shortage of stones and trees here, more than 1,000 people worked together, and the construction of fortifications was not slow, a large number of trees in front of the position were quickly cut down, dragged back to the camp with war horses, and the chirping ones were sharpened, and the big iron nails were driven into the logs one by one, and soon a horse was built in front of the formation, and the branches and other things cut down were not discarded, and after being cut with a knife, they were thrown behind the horse to form a simple deer.

And when they camped yesterday, Gao Huaiyuan still looked at the terrain here, although the nameless hill they chose was not easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there were steep cliffs on both sides, only the front and the side near the mountain road had a gentle slope, which was more suitable for the enemy to attack, so when building fortifications, basically only need to be carried out on these two sides, which greatly reduced the workload of officers and soldiers, and made the speed of building Lei much faster.

And Li Ruohu, as Gao Huaiyuan's closest personal entourage, in order to ensure Gao Huaiyuan's safety, ordered to go down, and immediately cut off the mountain road with logs and rocks at the bottom of the mountain.

And no one is allowed to reveal Gao Huaiyuan's identity, lest the Mongol army find out and attack here frantically, so as to prolong their hold on for more time.

Although this caused some refugees who fled in a panic to be dissatisfied, Gao Huaiyuan also knew that Li Ruohu did this for his good, so he did not persuade Li Ruohu to do so, a small group of escorts rushed down the mountain, cut down more than a dozen refugees who did not obey the command in a row, and tried to break through them, then controlled this mountain road, and soon captured two or three hundred young and strong people, escorted them back to the mountain, forcing them to join the ranks of building fortifications, and there were constantly some strong men who were temporarily captured were driven up the mountain.

Although these strong men scolded and expressed their dissatisfaction, and were unwilling to give up their old and weak relatives and stay here to die, but the big sword was in the hands of the officers and soldiers, and they did not dare not listen, otherwise the people who displayed the corpses on the road below would be their example, so they reluctantly began to carry stones and carry wood, and also joined the ranks of building fortifications according to the orders of the officers and soldiers.

Gao Huaiyuan stretched out his hand to beckon a young officer, nodded to him and said, "Xing Fang, it seems that today is the time to use you!" It's time to open those chests!

This officer is not Gao Huaiyuan's personal soldier, but one of the hundred or so people that Li Ruohu brought out from Crouching Tiger Village when Gao Huaiyuan passed through Daye County, but now they have all changed into the clothes of officers and soldiers and filled Gao Huaiyuan's accompanying escorts, and this Xing Fang is their leader.

Xing Fang is not an ordinary Crouching Tiger Village Zhuangding, he can be said to be almost the first batch of teenagers who were included in Crouching Tiger Village by Gao Huaiyuan like Li Ruohu, Zhou Jun and others.

Xing Fang nodded immediately, he had been working with Zhou Hao in Crouching Tiger Village for so many years, it could be said that what he was waiting for was the arrival of this day, and this time Gao Huaiyuan entered Sichuan, and finally brought these carefully prepared people out of Crouching Tiger Village, they had long held back their strength, waiting for such a hand.

Little obedience! Xing Fang replied loudly with excitement and legs.
