Chapter 196: Temptation 1

Huang Yan put down the binoculars, breathed a sigh of relief softly in an inaudible voice, and a smile appeared on his tense face again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info: "That guy just now must be Ogedai!" They have retreated! Huang Yan said to Hua Yue.

Hua Yue's expression also relaxed, and he nodded: "It should be, it seems that Wokotai is now a rat thrower, and he doesn't dare to attack us!" ā€

"It's dangerous! If we move slowly, we may be driven back into the river by the Tartars today!" Huang Yan was a little afraid.

When they suddenly diverted to Tongzhou, Huang Yan sent a large number of scouts to the surrounding areas of Tongzhou, and all the people who saw them were either directly tied up and detained, or killed directly, and the news that they sent troops to Tongzhou was tightly sealed, and even the rangers sent to Tongzhou with the Tartars were also driven out of this area, ensuring the secrecy of their actions...

On the day of taking Tongzhou, Huang Yan requisitioned a large number of local people to cooperate with the army and rushed to the west bank of the Yellow River, cutting down trees on the spot to make wooden rafts and other things to cross the river, and secretly collected a lot of boats.

After all this was ready, on the first night, Huang Yan selected hundreds of soldiers with excellent water ability, and after nightfall, he began to row across the Yellow River, pulling up a dozen thick ropes on both sides of the Yellow River, and then began to cross the river by feeling the ropes overnight.

This time they did a very covert operation, and the Mongol army in Hedong was also concentrating on attacking Hezhongfu, but they did not expect that the Song army would smuggle across the Yellow River at this time and come to the area of Hezhongfu, so overnight, they crossed the river with thousands of people. As soon as all the soldiers set foot on the east bank of the river, they immediately took control of Hanjia Village, which had been looted by the Mongols, and began to build camps and various fortifications at night.

By dawn, a considerable number of Song troops had crossed the Yellow River, strengthening the ability to defend the east bank of the river, and the reason why they dared to do so was because the Yellow River had not yet entered the flood season, and the river flow rate was still relatively slow.

Even with careful arrangements, many Song troops fell into the river and drowned in the river overnight, and the loss of materials was quite staggering, and even their artillery lost several pieces, which overturned and sank into the river from the wooden rafts.

However, they still managed to gain a firm foothold on the east bank of the river, and such losses were still bearable, which made Huang Yan and Hua Yue and other generals feel better.

After dawn, the speed of crossing the river was greatly accelerated, and the craftsmen of the army began to rush to build a pontoon bridge on the river with the things they had prepared at hand, so as to greatly speed up the speed of crossing the river.

It was not until near noon that several Mongol rangers discovered their movements, and they were immediately driven away by the Song scouts, who soon reported that a detachment of several thousand Mongol cavalry was approaching this direction. Huang Yan and Hua Yue were really nervous just now, after all, they had just crossed the river now, and the soldiers who crossed the river in advance were already very tired after a night's work, and they only occupied a small beachhead, which can be said to be unstable, most of the artillery they relied on had not yet crossed the river, and only less than ten artillery pieces were ready. Once the Song army was dispersed by the Mongol army, the gods would not be able to control such a chaos, and it was not impossible for the Song army to be driven back into the river again...

Huang Yan and Hua Yue were even dressed neatly, ready to personally lead the troops to fight the Mongol army to the death at any time, but the Mongol cavalry stopped in the distance, and Huang Yan and Hua Yue saw a group of Mongol generals walking up a dirt slope in the distance through their respective binoculars and looking towards them.

Probably feeling the pressure, the Song army that crossed the river worked harder, and the speed of building the camp became much faster, and the Song army that was replaced to rest was also assembled, and the guys lined up outside the camp, ready to meet the enemy.

However, after watching them for a while, the Mongol army quietly left this place, which immediately made the Song army and others breathe a long sigh of relief.

"It's dangerous!" These two words may be the common voice of everyone in the Song Army!

"That's it! We can basically say that we have established ourselves here! I don't know what Vice Marshal Hua is going to do next? After Huang Yan relaxed, Lima showed his usual cynical appearance on his face again, and asked Hua Yue with a hippie smile on his shoulders. Hua Yue looked at Huang Yan's almost scoundrel-like face, and he was also quite helpless, and wondered in his heart, 'This guy and Master Gao are the closest brothers, how could Lord Gao actually bring out such a guy?' ’

However, Hua Yue also knows what kind of person Huang Yan is, don't usually look at Huang Yan as not serious, but his ability to control the army is very strong, and he is also very strict with his subordinates, and he is even more bold and careful, and he is very smart, and when he goes into battle, this guy is definitely desperate, he can have this status now, although it is a bit of a reason for Gao Huaiyuan's support, but this is also Huang Yan's solid and practical combat exploits, so Hua Yue likes this guy very much...

"How? What can I do? Now is not the time to do anything with the Mongol Tartars, so we'll just stay here and watch! Let's see how the Tartars will react, they want to fight, we will accompany them, they dare not fight, then just wait for our other armies to occupy the Central Plains! Hua Yue replied to Huang Yan.

"Alas! It's boring! According to what Vice Marshal Hua said, we can only watch here? Huang Yan muttered with a dejected face.

"That's right! Just look at it! Hua Yue nodded.

The Song army crossed the Yellow River in two days and firmly established a firm foothold on the east bank of the river.

At the same time, Qin Feng's army of about 10,000 people also went to the Huazhou area under the command of Zhang Xuan, a general under Huang Yan's command, and firmly stared at the Jin army stationed in Huazhou, and the situation in this area suddenly became wonderful.

The Mongol scouts wandered around the Song army's camp every day, monitoring the movements of the Song army, but Huang Yan's actions after the Song army crossed the river made Ogedai even more confused.

Because after the Song army crossed the river, there was no new action, every day in addition to the continuous expansion of the camp and the imperial guard facilities, that is, the whole team practiced in the camp, and the Song army camp continued to send out the earth-shattering shouts and killing, and the morale was very high.

And in order to facilitate the Song army to transfer materials from the rear, the Song army also sent a large number of people to build two strong pontoon bridges with large iron chains on the river surface, which was ready for the upcoming Yellow River flood season.

"What exactly does Song Jun want to do? They came to Hazhong Province, but they neither attacked Hazhong Province nor started a war with our army, what did they want to do? In the past few days, Wokotai has been asking himself this question, but he has never been able to get an answer.

Because of the sudden appearance of this Song army, Ogedai had to temporarily stop the attack on Hezhong Mansion, and instead had to assign a group of soldiers and horses to monitor the movement of the Song army crossing the river, and strictly prevent the Song army from giving them a cold hand, which made the Jin army of Hezhong Mansion greatly relieved, taking advantage of the few days when the Mongol army stopped attacking, the Jin army in the city under the leadership of Cao Huo Ke once again strengthened the city defense, repaired the city wall that was destroyed by the Mongolian army some time ago, and enhanced the defensive ability of Hezhong Mansion...

At this time, Caohuo Yanke also learned the news of the arrival of the Song army, and was first frightened half to death, thinking that the Song army was going to join forces with the Mongolian army and attack the Hezhong Mansion he was guarding, but then the actions of the Song army completely confused Caohuo Zhenke, because the scout he sent reported that after the Song army crossed the river, there was no sign of joining forces with the Mongolian army, nor was there any sign of moving with the Mongolian army, let alone coming to attack Hezhongfu, so he stayed in a place more than ten miles south of Hezhongfu. It looks like you're going to stay for a long time.

Whether it was Wokotai or Caohuo, he was completely confused by the actions of the Song army.

Suddenly, the fighting in the area of Hezhong Province stopped, and the three parties did not move, and they were all watching the actions of the other two, and they were quiet for five or nine days.

In the end, Wokotai couldn't help it first, Wokotai had never been so aggrieved, and his temper was a lot more irritable in a few days, and the soldiers under the tent were scared enough these days, and if he was not careful, he would be whipped by Wokotai, and he would simply cut off his head, and he was so frightened that he was silent, and even the morale of the Mongolian army fell a lot.

"It's not an option!" Wokotai finally made up his mind, and on April 17, Wokotai finally sent envoys to the Song army camp.

After hearing this, Huang Yan decided to personally meet with the Mongolian envoys, and after the Mongolian envoys entered the Song army camp, they looked at the orderly Song army camp and those Song officers and soldiers who were neatly organized, and had to secretly shout hello, and had to admit that the current Song army was indeed an elite division, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart.

"See the General! The little one is not rare, and on the orders of our Great Khan, I came to meet the general! Su Buhan added a little caution, and when he saw the lazy and grinning Song General sitting on his hands after entering the account, he hurriedly hugged his fists and said.

"Oh? Looks like I don't have much to do with you Great Khan! Why did he send you to me? Huang Yan sat behind the big case and pretended to be stupid about this Su Buhan, pretending to be surprised and asked Su Buhan.
