After listening to the words of a few soldiers who fled back from Enzhou, Polu couldn't help frowning, although he was a military general, he had followed his father Mu Huali to fight in the north since he was a child, but he also grew a lot of knowledge, and he was a person who was thick and fine.

This time, he led his troops to attack Jingdong, nominally to support Li Quan and help Li Quan control Jingdong, but in essence, he followed Genghis Khan's instructions and took the opportunity to seize Jingdong, threatening Jin from the flank, and expanding their Mongolian territory at the same time.

But this time after he sent troops, but the progress was not smooth, in his opinion, the opponent who was originally vulnerable, actually in Jizhou City and Dezhou City, both withstood the attack of his army, which he did not expect at first, whether it was Peng Yibin or not, he did not pay attention to it when he sent troops, but in Jizhou City, encountered a difficult bone to gnaw, and there was a guy named Zhang Shi in the city, who led the Jizhou army and people here, resisted him for more than two months, and made him repeatedly frustrated.

In addition, he divided his troops to attack Dezhou City, and was also repelled by the ** leading troops, and the siege was not successful, but was bitten by **, so that his army was blocked outside the Jingdong Gate, although he also repeatedly defeated Peng Yibin's reinforcements and killed countless righteous troops, but in terms of strategy, he was already a failure, a few years ago he attacked Western Xia with the army, and the battle could be said to be smooth, but this time for him, it was too unsmooth.

So he followed the advice of the strategist, changed his tactics, and announced Jizhou City anyway, so he simply came to besiege the city to send reinforcements, and at the same time sent rangers to attack Enzhou and completely cut off the possibility of Jizhou City receiving assistance.

And this method of warfare has now played a very good effect, Peng Yibin's soldiers and horses have lost the ability to support Jizhou City after successive defeats, and Peng Yibin is said to have been seriously injured and returned to Jinan Mansion to recuperate, Enzhou City was disturbed by the rangers he sent to attack and did not even dare to open the gate all day.

He was pondering for the past two days, whether to leave a small number of soldiers and horses to watch Jizhou City, and suddenly send troops to defeat Enzhou City, so that even if Zhang Shi of Jizhou does not surrender, as long as the soldiers and civilians in the city hear that Enzhou is lost, their morale will naturally plummet, and Jizhou City may be self-defeating at that time.

But this time the news that the soldiers in the direction of Enzhou brought back, but he was very surprised, Enzhou City suddenly came to an elite army of soldiers and horses, actually sent him to the direction of Enzhou to defeat the rangers again and again, but also killed two or three hundred generals under him, from the mouth of the soldiers, he learned that this army is very different from Peng Yibin's righteous army, this army is very well-equipped, neat banners, very brave and good at fighting, with a small number of cavalry, they dare to go out of the city to find the Mongolian cavalry duel This point of view, this army is not an ordinary soldier and horse.

The soldier who came back said that this army of soldiers and horses was likely to be the elite of the Song army, but Polu didn't believe in the judgment of the soldier after hearing it, in his opinion, this is an impossible thing, he has already heard that the Song army is weak, not conducive to war, even the Jin country was packed up by their Mongolian army into this virtue, the first two years, and from time to time will go south to repair the Song army.

What's more, now that the Song army is fighting with Li Quan, how could it suddenly appear in Enzhou City, which is hundreds of miles east of Lihuai?

Therefore, Polu immediately arbitrarily determined that this army was probably the soldiers and horses of the Flying Tiger Army, not the soldiers and horses of the Southern Song Dynasty, and only in this way could it be explained.

Therefore, Polu made a subjective mistake, when he decided to immediately send troops to Enzhou, taking advantage of the fact that the Flying Tiger Army was not gaining a firm foothold in Enzhou, he would capture Enzhou City, even if he could not capture Enzhou City, he would at least surround Enzhou.

It's no wonder that Polu would make such a mistake, because from the actual situation, only the Flying Tiger Army has a good relationship with Peng Yibin at the moment, since they Mongols want to capture the land of Jingdong, they will naturally understand the situation of the righteous army in the Jingdong area in advance, according to Polu's understanding, in addition to Li Quan and Zhang Rong, the biggest forces in Jingdong who have surrendered to them, there are only Peng Yibin, **, and the Flying Tiger Army, the three largest forces, and the rest of the forces are many, but basically they don't need to be calculated.

And the largest number of them should be Peng Yibin, secondly, the least number of troops should be the Flying Tiger Army, and the strongest combat effectiveness is the Flying Tiger Army, the largest territory should also be the Flying Tiger Army, the quality of the equipment of the Flying Tiger Army is also the best among the three armies, after all, they control Laiwu, an important iron-producing place in Jingdong, so it is not surprising that the quality of the armor is better.

Polu learned that the three armies of Peng, Zhang and the Flying Tiger Army have now united and become allies, and the Southern Song Dynasty court has basically not been able to control Jingdong in essence for so many years, and even Huaidong has not been able to control it, they have been very careful about these northern armies, not only do not give support, but also be careful everywhere, provoking these northern armies to complain about the Southern Song court, and this time they sent troops to attack Li Quan, which can also confirm this, It stands to reason that it is impossible to send troops to help Peng Yibin defend against their Mongol army.

In addition, after so many years, Polu learned through various channels that the Southern Song Dynasty court was actually very weak, and there was no achievement at all, putting the good situation of Jingdong, but it failed to control Jingdong, but forced out a Li Quan who was against them, forcing many of the old Red Jacket Army to turn to their Mongols and even to their former enemies, the Jinren, so now Polu looks down on the Song court, which is also an important factor for them to dare to send troops to get involved in Jingdong.

Originally, he could have sent a scout to investigate the situation in Enzhou again, but Polu did not do so for various reasons, and even his advisers thought that Polu's analysis was very reasonable, and it was extremely unlikely that the troops and horses that appeared in Enzhou were Song troops, so they blatantly launched the Battle of Enzhou.

Polu ordered Zhang Rong's troops to stay in Jizhou City to trap Jizhou City, and he gathered the main army at hand and immediately pounced on Enzhou City.

On the morning of the fifth day when Zhao Futang had just led the Holy Protector Army into Enzhou City, he received information that the scouts had sent back to the city, and reported that he had learned that in the direction leading to Jizhou City, a Mongol army of more than 20,000 people had appeared, and it was rushing towards Enzhou at full speed, as if he was planning to capture Enzhou City in one fell swoop.

After Zhao Futang and the others heard the news, they were immediately shocked, they did not expect that before Polu captured Jizhou City, he actually dared to send troops to attack Enzhou City, which was not good news for them, and they also saw the strong combat effectiveness of the Mongolian cavalry, during this time, Li Xiaotian led his troops out of the city to pursue and suppress those scattered Mongolian cavalry outside the city, speaking of which, he killed two or three hundred Mongolian cavalry, but the price they paid was indeed the main camp of the Holy Protector Army, the cavalry battalion was almost completely wiped out, This is still the result of their often numerical superiority in attacking, and if they fight the Mongols one-on-one, their chances of victory can be said to be very good

These Mongolian soldiers are all very brave, and they are all old oilmen who fought on the battlefield, and the troops are small enough to fight with you, riding a horse and dragging you to run, and after you run out of strength, turn around and fight again, and their cavalry and archery level are very good, many Song cavalry in the pursuit is because of eating their reflexive cavalry and shooting yin, and the arrow fell off the horse.

Now there are more than 20,000 Mongolian soldiers in Huhula, and in addition to the elite of the Holy Protector Army, the rest of the people in the city are simply dying if they go out to fight in the field, and their first task at the moment is to hold Enzhou City and wait for Gao Huaiyuan to lead a large army to come to support.

Therefore, Zhao Futang they didn't think much about it at all, on the one hand, they immediately sent a fast horse messenger to report to Gao Huaiyuan that they learned, and on the other hand, they immediately closed the four gates, put away the suspension bridge, and did a good job of defense, during this time, Zhao Futang and their Song army soldiers fought smoothly, but they were not carried away by the victory, and went to the outside of the city with 5,000 troops to deal with the Mongolian army, and the most secure thing at the moment was to gather into a defense and consume the morale and strength of the other party.

Sure enough, the vanguard of Polu's army soon arrived outside Enzhou City, and immediately dispersed, surrounding Enzhou City.

A Mongolian cavalryman who knew Chinese galloped to the foot of Enzhou City, pointed at the defenders at the head of the city with a spear in his hand, and shouted: The people in Enzhou City listened, we are on the orders of the Great Khan, come to take over this place, and if you know each other, you will quickly surrender the city, our army can open the net, stay and wait for your life, if you don't open the door to offer the city, until our army conquers the city of Enzhou, you will be killed in the city!

Looking at the arrogance of the Mongolian cavalry outside the city, the defenders of the city should not be angry and take over, why should they take over here? In the eyes of the people in the city, this has long been the land of the Great Song Dynasty, how can they come as soon as they say?

An archer was angry, and immediately aimed his bow at the Mongolian cavalry, and without waiting for the officer's order, he released an arrow, only to see this arrow flying straight towards the Mongolian soldier who was shouting outside the city, and in an instant it was in front of the Mongolian soldier.

As soon as he saw someone put an arrow at him, he immediately came to hide in a kick, turned over and hid on the side of the horse, avoided the arrow that flew towards him, and then turned over and sat back on his horse, as if he was deliberately showing off his riding skills, but the arrow just now came quickly, if he hadn't been prepared in advance, he might have been shot on the spot now, even so, The arrow still grazed the side of his face, leaving a bloody mark on his face, which surprised him a lot, and he said in his heart that there are still such archers among these Han people, it seems that he should be careful when he does this in the future.

Good thief, you actually toast and don't eat and drink, you wait, when our army enters the city, you will be killed! After screaming in annoyance, the embarrassed man immediately turned his horse and retreated towards his own formation.
