Because the terrain of the sand garden was not suitable for large groups of cavalry to make detours, Batu decided to attract the Qi army's infantry, making Zhao Tai's main formation weak, and finally used cavalry to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

In the Qi army's formation, Zhao Tai saw many Mongolian troops dismounting and fighting on foot, and immediately understood Batu's intention.

But even though he sees through it, it's not easy to deal with.

Because Batu is a conspiracy.

Now the Mongolian infantry is reinforcing from both wings, while the Qi army's reinforcements do not reinforce the Qi army's heavy infantry fighting fiercely from the front.

If reinforcements are sent, the soldiers and horses sent will fight with the Qi army in front of the formation.

Infantry against cavalry relies on tight formations.

The Qi army sent out by Zhao Tai to fight in a melee was not only vulnerable to a surprise attack by the Mongolian cavalry, but also after sending Qi army reinforcements, the strength of the Qi army's main formation would also become weaker.

By then the main defense of the Qi army would be empty, and Batu might even directly attack the main formation.

Is it okay if there is no reinforcement?

That won’t work either!

Now the Qi army's heavy infantry and the Ross mercenaries are facing each other.

If Zhao Tai does not send reinforcements, the more than 10,000 Mongolian troops sent by Batu can combine with the Russian troops and eat up the Qi army's heavy infantry.

By then, the heavy infantry will be eaten up and the Mongolian infantry will continue to press forward. The Qi army's infantry formation will still be disrupted by them, creating opportunities for the Mongolian cavalry to attack.

"Your Majesty, let's set out an ambush!" Wang Bin clearly understood Batu's intention and suggested with a frown.

Zhao Tai shook his head, "It's just the beginning!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Tai waved his hand and said, "Send out a battalion on each side of the wing, top it up for me, and then cover it with another layer."

Wang Bintong's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Your Majesty, you don't want Batu to escape!"

Zhao Tai gave an order, the flags of the army were waved, the war drums were beaten, and three thousand soldiers and horses on each side of the army immediately came out.

Zhao Tai looked at the battlefield and said, "Yes, Batu continues to increase his troops, and Gu is entangled with him. Only by being entangled together will it be difficult for him to evacuate."

The Mongolian army formed a formation at the entrance of the sand garden. They were to the west of the battlefield and the Qi army was to the east of the battlefield.

If the two armies did not strangle together, the Mongolian army would see that they could not win and would easily retreat westward on horseback.

At that time, Zhao Tai wanted to stop it, but it was difficult to do so.

Now if the two armies are entangled together, with me among you and you among me, when the Mongolian army is defeated, they will not be able to escape.

On the battlefield, the soldiers and horses sent by Batu had just surrounded the Panshi camp from both wings, when more than 6,000 Qi troops came out and surrounded them from the outside.

In a short time, the number of soldiers and horses fighting between the two armies reached more than 20,000.

Twenty thousand people were strangled together, with one layer of Mongolian troops surrounded by a layer of Qi troops, and then another layer of Mongolian troops outside. The battle was extremely fierce.

"Your Majesty, the Zhao thieves have increased their troops again!" General Meng pointed to the battlefield.

Batu stared at the Qi army on the battlefield, with no expression on his face.

Zhao Tai's increase in troops was expected by him, and this kind of reinforcement of the battle was exactly what he wanted.

Because he has more troops than the Qi army, if he continues to add more troops like this, the Qi army will definitely show its flaws first.

Batu's eyes moved from the battlefield in the middle to the green reed fields on both sides of the battlefield.

According to reports from scouts, there are still some Qi troops hiding inside.

Batu stared at the battlefield with sharp eyes. Seeing Zhao Tai alone with more than 15,000 people, he waved his hand decisively and ordered, "Add 10,000 more people."

In the Mongolian army formation, nearly ten thousand Mongolian troops dismounted, picked up their weapons, and joined the battlefield with shouts again.

At this time, the Mongolian troops who left the formation began to run and formed a layer of armor around the battlefield.

Batu stared at the battlefield with cold eyes, waiting for Zhao Tai to take action.

In the Qi army formation, Zhao Tai looked at the two fighting armies. He did not immediately continue to increase troops, but looked up at the sky.

Batu continued to increase his troops, forcing him to carry out refueling operations.

Now that he continues to send out Zeng troops, the strength of the Qi army's main formation will not be enough.

If he had sent out two wings of ambushes in advance, then even if he won this battle, he would not be able to severely damage Batu.

At this time, the battlefield was actually unfavorable to the Qi army. After all, after Zhao Tai crossed the river, he fell into Batu's plan.

Wang Bin looked a little solemn, but Zhao Tai smiled and said: "Before dark, no matter whether there are any flaws in our army's formation, Batu will launch a general attack. By then, if our army's formation is weak and the ambush has been set out, we will be in danger of defeat.

.If our formation is complete and the ambush troops have not come out, we will win."

This time Batu gathered superior forces and set a trap for Zhao Tai.

Now that Zhao Tai hastily accepted the challenge, it was an opportunity for Batu.

However, this opportunity is time-limited for the Mongolian army.

If Batu could not defeat the Qi army before dark and let the Qi army build fortifications at night, and wait for the Qi army in Tongguan and other places to break through the defense line and enter Guanzhong, he would have no choice but to escape from Guanzhong.

After Zhao Tai finished speaking, he turned to look at the solemn-looking generals and pointed his head at the sky, "Now that the weather is on our side, and we are still standing at a favorable location, how can Batu win?"

The generals of the Qi army looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was already setting in the west, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on their faces.

Under the banner of the Mongolian army, Batu saw that Zhao Tai did not continue to increase his troops, and soon discovered Zhao Tai's intentions.

This made him couldn't help but cast his gaze towards the battlefield, and a solemn look finally appeared on his emotionless face.

At this time, there were more than 20,000 Mongolian troops in the middle of the battlefield, and they were strangling less than 10,000 Qi troops.

Now the Mongolian army undoubtedly has the advantage, but if they want to kill 10,000 Qi troops, it will not be a matter of time.

Batu couldn't help but look up, saw the sun that was about to set, and saw the Qi soldiers who were continuing to build fortifications in front of the formation, and he clenched his fists.

"There's not enough time!" Batu murmured, and then looked firmly at the battlefield.

If Zhao Tai cannot be defeated, he will be driven out of Guanzhong by the Qi army in embarrassment.

Now the grassland is full of carrots and pits. After he was driven out, how could the army survive without a fiefdom to provide money and food?

Of course, the grassland is no better than the Central Plains, and its carrying capacity is limited. Even if someone is willing to provide food, they cannot support such an army.

By then, his army will be starved, and he will not be able to bring them back to the Volga River Basin.

Thinking of this, seeing that the sky was getting dark, Batu's eyes became fierce. Without consulting anyone, he suddenly pulled out the scimitar at his waist and roared loudly, "Warriors of Mongolia! Attack me!"

In the Mongolian army, the horn sounded, and the elite Mongolian cavalry received the order to attack. They immediately mobilized their horses and rushed out like sharp arrows from the string.

In the Qi army formation, Zhao Tai saw this scene, looked at each other with Wang Bin, and then sneered, "Sure enough, Batu can't wait any longer!"

When Wang Bin saw the Mongolian cavalry rolling in, he immediately suggested, "Your Majesty, Ba must fight to the death, let the ambush attack, frustrate the Mongolian cavalry, and contain their attack on the main formation, otherwise we may be defeated by them."

Rush to the river."

The Qi army formed with its back to the river, and the Mongolian cavalry launched a turbulent attack.

If the Qi army withstood the attack, the Mongolian cavalry would have no chance to make a detour in such a narrow battlefield and would not be able to carry out a large-scale secondary attack.

Then the Qi army will definitely win this battle.

If the Qi army could not withstand the surging impact of the Mongolian cavalry, then the infantry would be driven into the water under the continuous impact of the Mongolian cavalry, and eventually the entire army would be immersed in the battle.
