Chapter 329: Polu

Listening to the earth-shattering roar in Enzhou City, the Mongolian cavalry outside the city frowned, and said in their hearts, these Han people, did they take the wrong medicine? Why so excited? Don't they know how powerful our Mongol army is? Aren't you afraid that we will kill you all after the city is broken?

And the leader of a thousand commanders was very angry, you must know that these pioneers are the elite Tanma Red Army under Polu, although he didn't expect to take Enzhou City with only these horses, but when he came, he thought that he could at least kill the morale of the defenders of Enzhou City, and first teach these defenders a lesson, let them know that they know the strength of their Mongolian army, but they didn't think about the battle just now, they didn't take advantage of it at all, and lost one or two hundred soldiers, you must know that these soldiers are the essence of their clan, The lives of a hundred Han people are not worth the lives of one of them, but just now he was stunned that he was killed by other people's arrows and killed a hundred and ten people, and he was injured a lot, and the ending was frustrating for him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

What's even more infuriating is that instead of damaging the morale of the defenders in the city, they have greatly boosted the morale of the defenders in the city, which is not what he wants.

He also didn't understand why the attack on Jingdong was so unsuccessful this time, Jizhou City alone made them fight for more than two months, and now when they came to Enzhou City, they still encountered hard stubble.

Proudman, do you see clearly, who are the banners of those big flags erected in the city? The commander beckoned a man from behind him and asked.

This Bloomman used to be a merchant in his early years, and he knew some Chinese characters to some extent, and just now he had already seen the words on the banner clearly, so he hurriedly brought the horse over and replied: "See clearly, it is the banner of the Song army, and the flag in the middle is written as the protector, and it should be their name!" There is also a flag that says Zhao, it seems that the guard in the city is surnamed Zhao!

What the? You say that the Song army is in the city? How is this possible? Didn't General Polu say that the city was filled with soldiers and horses of the Flying Tiger Army? This commander was immediately confused.

The small one will never be mistaken, it is indeed the banner of the Song army, and the defenders in the city should be the Song army! This Proudman insisted.

The commander didn't know what to do this time, it was really abnormal for the Song army to appear here, so he hurriedly ordered one of his subordinates to come over and instructed him: You hurry up to meet General Polu, and tell him that there is a Song army stationed in Enzhou City, please make a decision!

So the soldier immediately beat his horse and galloped towards the road from Jizhou.

After listening to the soldier's report, Polu was also taken aback, grabbed the reins of the horse and groaned, now he can be sure that there is indeed a Song army in Enzhou, which is a bit troublesome.

If they only face Peng Yibin's righteous army, it is better to say that although the righteous army is nominally attached to the Southern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty court did not send troops to station after all, and it can only be regarded as an enclave.

It stands to reason that Song Jun should still be at war with Li Quan at this time, and he shouldn't appear here! It's no wonder that Polu doesn't know this, although the news of Li Quan's defeat and death has spread, but he has not received this news, the scouts sent often only know about looting and slaughtering, but they haven't collected much intelligence, not to mention that the Han people around Jizhou City are almost killed by them, even if there is news, it can't be transmitted to Jizhou City, so he doesn't know the current situation of Li Quan at all, and he doesn't care much about Li Quan's life and death, Li Quan is just a reason for them to send troops to Jingdong, as long as they control Jingdong, As for Li Quan's life and death, that's a small matter.

After Polu thought for a while, he immediately sent someone to convene his subordinates to discuss the matter, and when they learned the news that the Song army appeared in Enzhou City, these Polu's subordinates were also a little surprised, but their gang of people has been arrogant over the years, although they were a little surprised, but they didn't take the Song army in their eyes at all.

This time, we were ordered by the Great Khan to march into Jingdong, how could we live up to the Great Khan's trust? I care if he is the Song army in this matter, first defeat Enzhou, as long as Enzhou is broken, Jizhou will have nothing to toss, and when the time comes, we will kill Jizhou without leaving one, let these damn Han people know the fate of disobeying our Mongolian Khan! A bare-chested guy stood up and spoke to Poru with his mace.

Hearing him say this, several other commanders and commanders also nodded in agreement, the head represents military merit, and wealth, slaves, and women can be obtained by fighting, and these people are all beasts, and they have a strong psychology of seeking war.

Polu gritted his teeth, feeling that these people were right, whoever has a sharp knife in the world should be who's, since he was ordered to send troops to Jingdong this time, he can't just run back because he ran into the Song army! He is the eagle of the steppe, and he cannot be ridiculed as a timid quail.

After making up his mind, Polu immediately ordered the army to speed up and rush in the direction of Enzhou City, and groups of Mongolian cavalry waved their weapons in their hands and roared towards Enzhou City.

Seeing that a large number of Mongolian cavalry began to appear outside the city, the people in Enzhou City also began to get nervous, they had rarely seen so many cavalry gathered in one place, and the people outside the city shouted that the horses neighed, and there was dust raised by the galloping horses everywhere, which could almost be said to cover the sky and the sun.

Zhao Futang personally took Shi Chonggui and others to the city to watch the enemy situation, and after a cursory look, he knew that there were basically nearly 20,000 enemy troops gathered outside the city, and most of them were cavalry, and only a small part was composed of infantry.

After everyone saw it, they all gasped, and said in their hearts, no wonder the Mongolian army was able to destroy dozens of countries in a row, and also lost most of the land of the Jin country, the momentum of the Mongolian army is indeed very fierce, and their generals are also very strong, which no one can deny.

Although Zhao Futang thought that the palace front division had been trained into a strong army under Gao Huaiyuan's supervision over the years, after looking at these Mongolian armies outside the city, he was still not sure that he could defeat this Mongol army in the field with the same force.

, a lot of cavalry! How do they have so many war horses! Li Xiaotian scolded in a low voice, but his eyes were full of envy.

As long as it is an officer, no one wants to have such a majestic cavalry, and the generals of the Song Army are naturally not exempt from vulgarity, but it is a pity that they did not have the opportunity to form such a cavalry army, and everyone looked a little red and a little frightened.

Looking at the more and more Mongolian troops gathered outside the city, Zhao Futang also saw the worries of these soldiers under him, and knew that the morale must not be vented at this time, so he laughed: How powerful am I to be a Mongolian Tartar! Isn't it just that there are more war horses? They are just a rabble, can they ride horses and attack the city? As long as we hold the city, let them attack it casually, and see if they can break through our Enzhou City!

It's not that I underestimate these Tartars, if we fight on the flat ground outside the city, we may not have much chance of winning, but if we attack the city, they will be too far behind us! Hum!

Li Xiaotian immediately said: What Lord Zhao said is very much, I am afraid that they will be alone, but they are just a bunch of uncivilized barbarians, they will definitely not be able to attack the city, otherwise they would not have been lying outside Jizhou City for so long!

After listening to their words, Shi Chonggui also smiled and said: General Zhao and General Li's words are good, although these Tartars are powerful immediately, but the siege is really not good! We don't have to be afraid of them!

Seeing that these main generals were so confident, the rest of the deputy generals and partial generals also put away their fears, and felt a lot more relaxed, they thought about it, even Peng Yibin's subordinates could hold Jizhou City for a few months, they were all elite soldiers of the imperial court, how could they let these Tartars easily succeed!

Seeing that the Mongolian army is gathering more and more, the city has also begun to be nervously busy, Zhao Futang redeployed the soldiers in the city, leaving two thousand Chinese troops in the city to stand by as the general reserve, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are reasonably deployed, and they take turns to defend the city, don't look at the Song army has been attacking the city during this time, but Zhao Futang's group of generals in front of the palace are also quite profound in defending the city, after all, the Han people have accumulated thousands of years of experience in urban offensive and defensive warfare, and there is no shortage of soldiers in defending the city. These people study these things a lot on weekdays, and Zhao Futang can be said to be familiar with this matter.

Shi Chonggui was not born in the army before, although he was a fierce general, but in this regard, he was far inferior to Zhao Futang and their Song generals, looking at Zhao Futang's orderly deployment arrangements, he did not intervene, and directly asked for orders to guard the south gate.

Almost all the laborers in the city were mobilized, and a large number of various imperial guards that had been prepared for a long time began to be transported to the city wall, ready to resist the siege of the Mongol army.

Zhao Futang they tasted the sweetness of heavy weapons along the way, although they came to Enzhou as a vanguard this time, but they still carried more than ten light bed crossbows and twenty or thirty light flying guns, and Zhao Futang also played tricks, before leaving Xuzhou, from Gao Huaiyuan asked for dozens of craftsmen from the craftsman battalion to bring to Enzhou City with the army.

As soon as he arrived in Enzhou City, after checking the defense situation here, he found that the rebels in Enzhou City were very poorly prepared in terms of guarding equipment, so he ordered these craftsmen to start making all kinds of defense equipment, and now they have also rushed out of one or two dozen new return guns, plus they suffered from the Mongolian army's cavalry shooting yesterday, and that night they requisitioned the door panels of each household in the city, which were used as wooden standing cards to transport to the city head to prevent arrows, and also hung a lot of cloth curtains made of wet cotton cloth on the outside of the city wall, which has a very good anti-arrow effect. It can also hinder the damage of the cannon stone to the female wall, and it is easy to make, and the woman can also make a few pairs overnight.
