Chapter 4 Sanfeng Mountain Mengjin Battle
Zhao Tai didn't know that the little girl he helped was still caught by the demon, so Shi Tianze was caught.
At this time, he followed the grain escort team toward Sanfeng Mountain. The villages along the way were dilapidated, the road was left with corpses and wild dogs barking.
During the transportation team's march, there were almost no figures. The people were either slaughtered or hid in the deep mountains and forests, and they did not encounter any attacks by the Jin army.
Zhao Tai followed the team into Junzhou. He considered escaping on the road, but considering that Nanjing Road of the Jin Kingdom was in a war zone, when the deserter was caught by the Mongols and wanted to behead him and the soldiers and civilians of the Jin Kingdom were caught, he might have to kill him, a traitor, so Zhao Tai hesitated.
In addition, the Mongolian army had just forced the way from the Southern Song Dynasty and fell into the hands of the Song soldiers, and they probably won't have any good results.
The identity of the Mongolian army made Zhao Tai very distressed. Even Xin Qiji was not valued in the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhao Tai knew that he could never continue to stay in the Mongolian camp, otherwise once the Mongolian Song Dynasty started a war, he would be labeled as a traitor and would be difficult to accept by the Southern Song Dynasty.
Zhao Tai originally wanted to make some money, so he quietly left the Mongolian army, changed his identity and changed his appearance, erased the experience of serving in the Mongolian army in order to develop in the Southern Song Dynasty, but he gave all the money he found, so he could only stay in the Meng camp for the time being.
Now that he cannot get out, Zhao Tai remembered the Battle of Sanfeng Mountain ahead on the road.
In this battle, the Jin Kingdom would lose 150,000 troops, command Wanyan Heda, and the famous Jin king Wanyan Chen, who defeated Chi Lao Wen with 400 cavalry, will all die. The Jin Kingdom will have no hope of turning the tables and will perish in less than two years.
Zhao Tai looked at the escort food and wondered if he destroyed this batch of food and grass, could he change the outcome of the Sanfeng Mountain Battle.
After seeing the people guarding Dengzhou and tragically died under the butcher knife, Zhao Tai's mentality changed.
After all, helping the Jin Kingdom now is equivalent to helping the Southern Song Dynasty, which is equivalent to saving the Han people in the south.
Looking at the escort team, Zhao Tai denied this idea again. Without help, he would destroy at most one or two large cars and would be killed by someone.
Just as Zhao Tai was thinking about his way out, three small hills appeared in the distance, and there were faint sounds of shouting and killing.
"Sanfeng Mountain is here, everyone should be vigilant and be careful!" Qianhu Shi Wanquan raised his spear and shouted loudly.
The Han soldiers who were escorting supplies immediately rolled their bows and arrows and unsheathed their swords. Several Mongolian whistle cavalry rushed out to investigate the situation ahead.
The transport team slowly approached the battlefield with the sound of killing, facing the wind and snow. When they climbed over a hill, a magnificent scene of war finally appeared before everyone.
Zhao Tai drove the cart. After climbing over the hills, his vision instantly opened. On the snow-white and vast land, two armies were having a duel of fate and life and death in the howling cold wind and the wind and snow all over the sky.
Zhao Tai couldn't help but stop. He stared at the battlefield and saw more than 100,000 Jin troops huddled in a group and were trapped in a valley. Large groups of Mongolian cavalry were attacking the Jin army from above and down. Mongolian cavalry also rode their horses and galloped at both ends of the valley, shooting waves of arrows into the Jin army from time to time.
On the way back to Kaifeng, the Jin army was attacked by the three thousand Mongolian troops sent by Torre and could not advance quickly. After exploring the Sanfeng Mountain of Torre, they took the initiative to come and fight.
At first, the Jin army had the advantage. They defeated Torre and forced the Mongols into Jingou to encircle. However, they did not expect heavy snow to fall, so Torre took the opportunity to stand out. At this time, the 10,000 reinforcements sent by Ogedei rushed to Sanfeng Mountain, and the 150,000 Jin troops were surrounded by the Mongolian army in Jingou.
Zhao Tai looked at the battlefield in the distance, watching the Jin army falling to the ground while shooting under the Mongols, and being beaten to the point of no fight back, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Oh, the Jin Kingdom is almost over, and the next one is the Southern Song Dynasty!"
"Zhao Tai, what's going on with you boy recently?" Shi Wanquan's scolding sounded behind him, "Why don't you go forward quickly, why are you doing here? Are you looking for death?"
Shi Wanquan relied on his senior official position and was a member of the Shi family, so he targeted Zhao Tai when he found an opportunity.
Zhao Tai was not in the mood to see him now. He heard the words and hurriedly grabbed his horse and followed the Mongolian cavalry who came to pick up and inspect the baggage to a mountain bag not far from the battlefield.
The cart stopped, the soldiers carried supplies, and Zhao Tai turned over and dismounted and continued to observe the battlefield.
Only then did he realize that the Mongols did not use all their strength, and half of them were resting on the periphery.
Tolei divided the Mongolian cavalry into two parts, one surrounded the Jin army and the other lit a bonfire, set up an iron pot, and after eating and drinking, they came on the field to replace the other Mongolian army.
The two groups of people alternated and had tortured the Jin soldiers for most of the day.
The 150,000 Jin troops on the battlefield were already on the verge of collapse under the raid of the Mongols.
Zhao Tai looked at the broken Jin army flags whistling in the cold wind, and watched the 150,000 hungry and cold Jin soldiers standing in the wind and snow, carrying out their final resistance.
In their queue, there were Jurchens, Khitans, Bohai people, and Han people. They faced the cold wind and the Mongolian army's rushing rain of arrows, and gritted their teeth and persevered with weapons.
The Mongolian army was cruel and there were no chickens and dogs left wherever they passed. Many places in the north were killed by them and they could not crow without a chicken.
The Jin army had a strong fighting will, and if they didn't fight desperately, they would be killed by the Mongolian army. However, even if they wanted to fight, the Mongolians would not give them a chance.
Since they met the Mongolians, the Jin army lined up to meet the enemy, and the Mongolians ran away. As soon as the Jin army buried a pot of rice and prepared to rest, the Mongolian cavalry rushed from all directions.
After a few days, the Jin army was tired and hungry. They had originally surrounded the Mongolian army first and took the initiative, but because the soldiers were tired, the general decided to rest for a night and wait until the next day to annihilate the Mongolian army.
Who knew that heavy snow fell in the sky in the middle of the night, causing the situation to reverse instantly. The Mongolian soldiers not only broke through the encirclement, but also surrounded them with reinforcements.
In the wind and snow, some of the hungry and tired Jin soldiers had not eaten for three days, and now they had fought for another four hours. The soldiers had been unable to draw their bows or lift their weapons.
Inside the military formation, some of the Jin soldiers who were forcibly supported were constantly frozen to death, starved to death, and fell to the ground to death.
Outside the military formation, a large number of Jin soldiers fell to the ground like mowed grass under the rain of arrows shot by the Mongols.
At this time, the Mongols had not yet begun the formal attack, and the atmosphere of despair had spread among the Jin army. Anyone could see that their defeat was decided.
Zhao Tai is still an amateur in military affairs, but he saw that all the Jin soldiers were killed, but the Mongols suffered no losses. He could also see that the Jin army was not good.
This made him feel a little anxious. Once the 150,000 Jin army was defeated, the Jin Kingdom would be out of soldiers.
"The Jin Kingdom cannot be defeated like this! For the sake of the people of Song Kingdom, I must stop the Mongolian army from defeating the Jin army!" Zhao Tai stared at the battlefield and tightened the hilt of the knife.
"Zhao Tai, kill a few sheep and send them to the prince!" Shi Wanquan came over and gave the emperor a casual order after joining the Mongolian Qianhu family.
The transportation team was trekking all the way, and everyone was very tired. Shi Wanquan refused to let others go. It was obvious that he handed over the dirty and tiring work to Zhao Tai.
Zhao Tai heard the ling and looked at the distant hillside, and a big flag was erected, where was Tolei's Central Army.
"Yes!" Zhao Tai withdrew his thoughts, agreed with his fists, and when Shi Wanquan walked away, he had a bold plan in his heart.
Zhao Tai couldn't help but touch the arsenic hidden in his chest. It was originally prepared for Shi Wanquan, but now he had a chance to put it in front of him, which was to poison Tolei.
