Hengjian Mountain is located 74 miles northwest of Dingyuan County. It has a spring on it, rolling hills to the east and south, and a flat plain to the west and north.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, once stationed his troops here and entered Chuzhou from Hengjian Mountain, starting his hegemony of unifying the world.

At this time, in Hengjian Mountain, the Mongolian soldiers who had fled all the way were scattered throughout the mountains and forests.

They were lying or sitting, and they no longer had the spirit and arrogance of being elites who looked down upon the world.

Many Mongolian soldiers were holding weapons and leaning against trees and rocks, sitting with dull eyes. No one in the tens of thousands of soldiers was willing to make a sound.

Kublai Khan was sitting on a big rock on the top of the mountain, with his Mongolian hairstyle scattered on his head, and he looked particularly gloomy.

This tragic defeat destroyed all his pride and plunged the young Kublai into deep depression and self-doubt.

The surrounding Mongolian nobles were just like him, no one spoke, no one wanted to suffer a disastrous defeat in advance, and no one dared to think about the future.

Because everyone knows in their hearts that going up the mountain will lead to death and no life.

Although Kublai Khan told them to go up the mountain and wait for help, the generals knew that they could not cross the river, and Wokuotai could not cross the river south.

At this time, there are not many Song troops nearby. When the Song troops come around from all directions, there will be Song infantry at the foot of the mountain and Song naval forces in the river. Even if Wokuotai comes with 100,000 troops, he can only look at the river and sigh.

It's only April now, and it will be at least November until the Huaihe River freezes.

If the weather is not cold enough, it may not even freeze.

With the current situation of the Mongolian army, there is no way to hold on until the Huaihe River freezes.

After entering the mountain, everyone gradually realized that this was a dead end. The mountain was so quiet that no one wanted to talk about their current situation.

After all, compared with being driven down the river immediately, they could survive for a while after entering Hengjian Mountain. Everyone instinctively escaped to avoid falling into endless despair.

"Song soldiers are here!" Suddenly a shout broke the tranquility on the mountain.

Kublai Khan and others stood up, but a large number of Mongolian troops were still lying on the ground motionless.

Everyone looked down from the mountain and saw a large group of cavalry galloping over from a distance. It was the Qi Army's Tiger Cavalry Camp.

Three thousand elite cavalrymen of the Qi army galloped to a distance of three or four miles from Hengjian Mountain, climbed a low hill, halted their horses and stopped moving forward.

The Qi army did not attack, and the Mongolian army on the mountain did not respond, allowing the Qi army's cavalry to move down the mountain.

Not long after, the Mongolian army who was responsible for looking out on the mountain shouted again: "There are enemy troops coming from the east!"

The Mongolian generals followed the sound and saw banners filling the sky in the wilderness, and countless Qi soldiers coming in force.

Kublai Khan recognized Zhao Tai's banner and knew that it was Zhao Tai who had arrived. He couldn't help but his eyes were red and he clenched his fists.

If eyes could kill, then Kublai Khan's eyes would turn into two laser beams, sweeping down the mountain and shooting Zhao Tai and Qi Jun into pieces.

"The Song army was discovered in the southwest!" The Mongolian army on the top of the mountain exclaimed repeatedly, and each exclamation represented the arrival of a group of soldiers and horses.

At the foot of Hengjian Mountain, various Song armies came from across the countryside, and soon the Mongolian army was surrounded like an iron barrel.

Cha Ci thought about the previous majesty of the Mongolian army and the miserable situation now, and felt extremely angry. He couldn't help but smash his helmet on the ground, "Your Majesty, fight with the barbarians!"

The Song army encircled them from all directions. Knowing that they could not escape, the Mongolian army was in a desperate situation. They thought they would die, but this inspired the bravery and courage of the Mongolians.

Kublai Khan's eyes were red and his teeth were clenching, "Okay! We still have thirty thousand people. The barbarians want to eat us, and they must pay the price."

…

At this time, Zhao Tai led the army to the foot of Hengjian Mountain. The Qi army immediately built a camp on the spot, while Zhao Tai led dozens of cavalry to inspect the terrain.

"How is the situation?" Zhao Tai's cavalry galloped to the Tiger Cavalry camp and asked.

Wanyan Chenghu said: "Your Majesty, the remnants of the Mongolian army retreated into the mountains, nothing unusual is found!"

Zhao Tai nodded slightly, "The horse army continues to be vigilant to prevent the Tatar fish from breaking through the net and suddenly descending the mountain to make a surprise attack!"

After speaking, Zhao Tai led the cavalry and patrolled the mountain. At noon, they returned to the camp for dinner.

At this time, various units of the Qi army had set up strong camps at the foot of the mountain. After the officers of each battalion left the camp, they came to the Chinese army to ask for instructions.

Zhao Tai returned to the camp and saw Liu Dun, Li Chunzhu, Wang Xiu, Wanyan Chenghu and others there, so he smiled and asked, "You haven't eaten yet! Let's talk while eating!"

Everyone thanked them quickly, and a group of people followed Zhao Tai into the commander's tent. The leader brought a dustpan of horse meat and a large box of steamed buns. The generals were not particular about it, so they gathered around to eat and drink.

In the past few days, the generals of the Qi army, since Gaoyou marched westward, have been either rushing or fighting, and have not had a good meal.

Now the remnants of the Mongolian army are trapped in Hengjian Mountain. With the arrival of various Song army units one after another, and the sailors entering the Huaihe River and entering Luoshui, the Mongolian army is unable to fly.

Now that the overall situation has been decided, everyone can finally relax a little and have a hot meal.

Although horse meat is unpalatable, it is meat after all, and it is much better than being trapped in Yimeng Mountain with nothing to eat. Everyone ate it with gusto.

At this time, Zhao Tai saw everyone feasting and couldn't help but said: "After this battle, the Tatars will not dare to go south for a few years. Our situation will be much better. I guarantee that I will let you eat meat every day!"

"That's a great feeling! I'll thank you so much!" Wang Xiu and others laughed.

Zhao Tai said while eating steamed buns: "I have just inspected the foot of the mountain. The Tatars are seeking death by going up to Hengjian Mountain."

Li Chunzhu said: "Your Majesty, after finishing this meal, the soldiers will rest for a while, then I will lead people into the mountains and destroy them!"

Liu Dun said: "That's right! The Tatars are only powerful with their cavalry. Now that they have gone up the mountain, what else do they have to fear?"

Wang Bin said, "Generals, the art of war says, don't pursue a poor enemy. Now when the Tatars go up the mountain and see no way to survive, they will have a death wish. I think since they are surrounded, I won't rush for a while, lest the Tatar fish will die and the net will be broken."

Zhao Tai nodded slightly, "Thirty thousand Mongolian troops are fighting for their lives, and we're afraid we'll have to pay a lot of casualties! We have to kill it first~"

Before Zhao Tai finished speaking, the curtain was suddenly raised, and Li Fen rushed in and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the Chu soldiers want to take credit. They have already begun to attack the mountain. Let's take action!"

"Straight mother-in-law, who is so unreasonable!" Li Chunzhu couldn't help but cursed.

All the generals in the tent put down the food in their hands and cursed in anger.

In this battle, the Qi army crossed the river to defeat Sawu'er, and then defeated the main force of the Mongolian army in Chuzhou, which can be said to be a great achievement.

Now Kublai Khan had been beaten to the point of losing his temper by the Qi army. He was chewed up by the Qi army and almost put it in his mouth. How could he be snatched away by others?

"Damn it!" Zhao Tai slapped the table and stood up, "You're so rude! Let's go and take a look!"
