Chapter 45: Falling into the Wilderness
So at the moment, for Wokotai, it doesn't matter what bullshit is to chase the Central Plains, and what bullshit is to destroy the Jin and Song Dynasty, the most important thing is that he should return to the grassland as soon as possible with this group of elites loyal to him, and after stabilizing the situation in Mongolia, he will have a chance to make a comeback and come to the Song people to avenge this arrow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info for a new domain name.
After the defeat of this battle, the morale of the army has been weakened, and the morale has fallen to the bottom, and the original morale of the Mongolian army has long ceased to exist, after they fought with the Song army in Xuzhou, it can be said that they have been scared by the tenacious Song army, and now as soon as they heard that a large number of reinforcements from the Song army were coming, they immediately became in chaos, which is why Ogedai suddenly ordered the withdrawal of troops, because he knew that if he continued to fight, Then even if he has an advantage in troops, his morale has collapsed, and there is only one result if he fights, then he will completely use up the last bit of blood on hand...
So when the Mongolian army outside Xuzhou heard that the Song army reinforcements were less than five miles away from them, they immediately evacuated all outside Xuzhou, and in a blink of an eye, the Mongolian soldiers outside Xuzhou were all gone, and even the bodies of the Mongolian people who died under the city were not collected and cremated, which shows how panicked they fled.
Fortunately, the Song army from the west was eager to enter Xuzhou City to relieve the siege, but failed to pursue them overnight, otherwise, Wo Kotai didn't know if he could lead the army to evacuate Xuzhou City so easily!
Even so, at dawn, when Wokotai led the army to withdraw to Xinzheng County, he still found that in the time of the night, the new annexed army and the Han army that followed him fled less than half of the people, and only less than 10,000 new annexed troops were still following him to retreat in the direction of Zhengzhou, which highlighted the decline in the morale of the Mongolian army...
After arriving in Xinzheng, the Mongolian army also had to stop, the reason is very simple, from a few days ago they also began to run out of food, after the defeat of the Hebei Road Polu army, their logistics supply was cut off by the Song army, so many soldiers and horses, people around Xuzhou eat horses to chew, the daily consumption of food is amazing, even if the Mongolian horses are extensive, at least they have to give them grass to eat, and the fresh grass does not provide much nutrition to the war horses, if the war horses want to be full, they must continue to eat, tens of thousands of war horses, around Xuzhou City, Soon the ground was gnawed away, and many of the horses had lost their strength by this time, and it was impossible for the emaciated horses to provide the Mongolian soldiers with any mare's milk to eat...
Therefore, when they retreated, these accumulated reasons made the Mongol army quickly on the verge of collapse.
Along the way, almost all the villages have long been empty and ruined, and it is impossible for the Mongol army to collect some grain and grass for them to eat and chew.
And after yesterday's siege battle, all the grain and grass of the Mongolian army have been exhausted, and after walking to Xinzheng, they had to stop and let people collect food for the soldiers to replenish their strength...
Wo Kotai looked at the chaotic army accompanying him, his mouth has been full of bitterness, he now finally figured out why the commander of the Song army personally led the army to be stationed in Xuzhou City, this was originally a complete set he set for the Mongolian army, with himself as a bait, to attract him Wo Kotai to attack Xuzhou, and with stubborn resistance, he continued to attract him to increase troops here, so that the Mongolian army fell deeper and deeper, and finally could not extricate themselves.
And take advantage of this opportunity, the other armies are still in their own operations, constantly attacking towards their own set goals, even in the case of the unstable domestic situation in the Song Dynasty, they have not been able to prevent them from completing the set goals, now the Song army has completed the strategic encirclement, and finally it is time to close the net, Wokotai only found that he actually stupidly jumped into the big pit dug by the Song army for him, and now if he wants to jump out again, it is really difficult...
Wo Kotai looked at the sky, there was a feeling of crying without tears, the depression in his chest seemed to burst, and he couldn't wait to give himself a few slaps to relieve his hatred, why didn't he think of this in advance? Why would this man be so bold as to use himself as a decoy to lure them into besieging a city that was not strong at all?
In fact, he should have thought of this a long time ago, but this bait was so tempting that he had been anesthetizing himself, telling himself that as long as he defeated Xuzhou City and captured this Song army commander, he could solve all problems, so that he couldn't even listen to the advice of some strategists, and blindly forced the armies to storm Xuzhou City, but what did he get? Hundreds of thousands of troops were transferred by him to such a cramped plain, but trapped here, the more Wo Kotai thought about it, the more he felt guilty, and finally he couldn't help but cough violently, and when the hand covering his mouth was taken away, he saw a pool of blood left in the palm of his hand...
"Is the gods going to give up on us Mongols?" Wokotai looked up at the sky, and his eyes were a little dark.
"Great Khan! Those new annexes and Han armies refused to go any further! They say they don't have anything to eat, they can't walk anymore! One of Wokotai's men rode up to Ogedei's front of him, jumped off his horse and fell to the ground to report to Ogedei.
Originally, Wokotai was depressed enough, but after hearing the news, he was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, and said angrily: "These damn bastards! He didn't even dare to listen to Ben Khan's orders! Whoever dares to disobey the order will kill me!" The army can't stop, and we must go to Zhengzhou today! ”
As soon as Wokotai's order was given, there was another great chaos in the Mongol army, and those Mongolian soldiers and generals, wielding horsewhips, vigorously whipped the Khitans, Bohai people, and Han people who followed their new annexed army and the Han army, forcing them to continue the march, and the Mongol soldiers saw that these new annexed troops and the Han army did not obey the order, and even drew their knives and slashed some people...
So these new annexed troops and the Han army had to continue to pack their things and follow the Mongol army towards the front.
A thin war horse staggered through the crowd, and suddenly a stumbling horse stumbled and fell to its knees, no matter how much his master scolded and dragged, it struggled and could not get up, and finally simply lay down on its side, and let out a mournful sound...
On the short road to Zhengzhou, such a scene is being staged at any time, one by one the war horses have already lost weight seriously because of long-term hunger, and after a day and night of rapid travel, they finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground, refusing to get up again.
In desperation, Ogedai had no choice but to order the killing of these war horses, which were unable to go any longer, to feed the army, so as to support their continued retreat.
I think they were so majestic when they came! Thousands of horses galloped, invincible, the enemy did not dare to meet its front, but how long has it been! They declined so quickly that they had to kill their horses and march on foot...
In order to save some horsepower and reduce the loss of war horses, the Mongolian generals dismounted and led the war horses on foot, and tens of thousands of Mongolian troops walked towards Zhengzhou in such a down-and-out manner, and there was no longer the majesty when they came.
"Handsome! The scouts at the front have already spotted the rear of the Mongol army! The Mongol army slaughtered horses to satisfy their hunger all the way, and they also ran out of food! A scout rode back to the Chinese army from the front, jumped off his horse and knelt down to report to Gao Huaiyuan.
"The Tartars are gone! The herald ordered the three armies to speed up, catch up, and stick to them, so that they could not arrive in Zhengzhou so safely! Send light horsemen to set out first, harass their rear army, and drive them to run as fast as possible, so that they will have more dead horses! Gao Huaiyuan sat in a big car and said to Huang Yan who was walking with him next to the car with great interest...
At this time, Gao Huaiyuan's wounds all over his body were also bandaged, wrapped like a zongzi, wearing a new power suit, he had a leg injury, and he couldn't ride a horse if he wanted to, so he took a car and marched with the army, and the weather was also very hot, Huang Yan sent him a goose feather fan with a bad taste, let him shake the fan to cool, with his military uniform, how can he not have the temperament of Zhuge Wuhou, it looks quite weird, and it makes people feel a little unbearable.
Gao Huaiyuan also seemed to feel this, grabbed the goose feather fan and threw it aside, but after a while, he was sweating profusely, so he had to pick up the goose feather fan again and shake it.
After Huang Yan took the lead in relieving the siege of Xuzhou, Gao Huaiyuan did not even rest for half a day, and entered Huang Yan's army early the next morning, leading 16,000 Song troops and then chasing after the Mongol army of Ogedei.
The morale of the Song army on this road of Huang Yan at this time, but it rose to the sky, and they came from Qinfeng Road, after pacifying the places west of Henan Mansion, the supply was sufficient, it can be said that the soldiers were strong and strong, and from Henan Mansion on the way, they won consecutive battles, which made the morale of the Song army even higher, after leaving Xuzhou, the horses did not leave the saddle people did not remove their armor, and they walked all the way, and they caught up with the rear army of the Mongolian army in less than two days.
And after learning the news of Wokotai's evacuation of Xuzhou, the Mongolian army in the east of Xuzhou was responsible for blocking Zhou Jun and Luo Zhuo's Song army all the way also collapsed instantly, and Sa Yazi rushed towards Zhengzhou, in the morning, Huang Yan's left wing found a Mongolian rout, and after sending troops to block their way, they solved the Mongol rout in an hour, and captured hundreds of heads, and the remaining Mongolian army saw that the general trend was gone, so they knelt down and surrendered.
Since then, Zhou Jun and Luo Zhuo's troops and Huang Yan's troops have converged, plus a small number of Li Xiaotian's troops in Junzhou, the strength of the Song army has greatly increased, and they have pursued in the direction of Zhengzhou.
