At noon that day, Tuo Lei, who was at the command center, began to feel that something was wrong.
The mobilization and assembly of the Mongolian army has always been fast and effective. This nation grew up among saddles and horses, and hunting is their livelihood. Once encountering a situation, the Mongolian army can instantly disperse and assemble, and then form a powerful fist.
Hit the enemy's most critical sore spot.
So at first no one took the prisoner uprising in Pan Gang seriously. In the eyes of the Mongols, there was no difference between the Han prisoners and the robbed cattle and sheep. Those who were useful were used and those who were useless were killed. Those who were particularly obedient were
Leave them to shepherd them for a while, and then kill or not kill them depending on the situation. Since the Han'er prisoners are rioting, then send some people there and kill them all as soon as possible. It's that simple.
But now, the Mongols found that their scattered forces were hindered everywhere.
At first, the two centurions who were supposed to rush to Pan Gang overnight to kill, but there was no news of victory. Later, more people were sent to ask, and it was discovered that they had not reached Pan Gang at all, and the entire Pan Gang
The prisoners have now repelled several attacks by the Mongols, and are about to start a prairie fire!
This situation was so alarming that he sent extra manpower to investigate, only to discover that the two centurions, perhaps in order to save time, chose to leave the main road and march along the old Suishui Road.
The Mongolian army quickly came to pay attention to sentinels. In the past few days, although in order to create momentum, they controlled a large area and the force was slightly insufficient, the tow mines still ensured the number of Tolchi responsible for patrol and reconnaissance every day.
Hundreds of Tole red cavalrymen traveled for one to two hundred miles, covering up residents and travelers everywhere to assess the reality of each place and ensure that their side took the initiative on the battlefield. But after all, they were unfamiliar with the place. In just a few days,
It is too difficult for them to fully grasp all the trends around them and understand every plant and tree on this land.
The area around the old Suishui Road is a brand-new landform created after the Yellow River overflowed. There are many muddy tidal flats that can easily cause horses to stumble after freezing, not to mention the continuous reeds and thorny wild trees. Therefore, Mongolian sentries rarely go there specifically.
After checking, it turned out that the rats scurrying around were nothing more than fleeing Han soldiers and civilians, not our own enemies.
Perhaps the two Mongolian centurions thought the same way. They rushed into the area without any scruples, thinking that they could reach Pangang as soon as possible. The result was the current scene. Two hundred men who traveled thousands of miles and never suffered a loss
The elite Mongolian cavalry just disappeared out of thin air!
The Mongolian sentries chased them along their route, only to find faint traces of blood soaking in the sand somewhere along the river. There were also traces of fighting such as discarded arrow clusters and broken swords nearby.
Among the sentries, there were several experienced veterans. They immediately dismounted and dug into the sand. Sure enough, they found the hastily buried bodies of the Mongolian cavalry, all with deep wounds on their bodies. The sentries immediately searched again and found the corpses of the Mongolian cavalrymen.
Traces of horses leaving.
Those traces had been covered up. It was obvious that the person who directed this ambush was a master who was well versed in the art of war and familiar with the Mongolian combat routines. However, due to time constraints, they could not do it perfectly and left traces in the end.
But so what? Can the Mongols bring in more troops to pursue them in the continuous sand moraine and reed swamps?
How many men and horses would it take to level these complex terrains formed by the flooding of the Yellow River?
The leader of the Sentinel Cavalry did not dare to act on his own and came back immediately to report.
Not long after he saw the towed mine, and before noon, there were urgent reports of military intelligence everywhere.
With Kaifeng as the center, within a hundred miles from east to west, hundreds of Mongolian cavalry were ambushed in at least five or six places; some strongholds occupied by the Mongols were raided, and the Mongols had to retreat in embarrassment.
The more dispersed Mongolian teams encountered more resistance. One team of ten had their horses secretly killed, and then had to walk on foot. It was miserable and they were besieged by thousands of soldiers and civilians along the way. In the end, only one of the ten people escaped.
Two alive ones came out.
There was even an urgent report from the direction of Guide Mansion that our thousand-man team was attacked by a sudden cavalry attack and was defeated on the spot. The cavalry was not the local garrison in the Central Plains, but seemed to have traveled a long distance from the Song Dynasty!
Isn't this nonsense? Tuo Lei and his cronies still don't know what kind of virtue the Song people have? The reason why this good-media operation can be advanced to this point is because the Song people are weak and can be bullied, and they don't have the courage to take action against powerful enemies!
If the Song people dared to fall out, they would have already turned against them when we were burning and killing people along the Han River. Why wait until now?
If you report it, report it well. If we find out where there are remnants of the Zhou army that have not been dispersed, we will mobilize our troops to destroy them. What a joke are we to make trouble with the Song army?
A captain whipped the messenger several times on the spot and ordered him to go back immediately to verify the news.
Then he said to Tuo Lei: "Han'er is more courageous than before. It seems that he has to send orders to everyone. Don't hold back when killing people. People who have surrendered must also be carefully screened."
Tuo Lei frowned and said nothing.
After a while, he issued a series of orders and sent out more than forty Na Ke'er who were close to him at once, asking them to hold the golden round talisman representing the fourth prince and go to the various armies to once again inquire about the surrounding movements in the past two days.
He had a strong premonition that the counterattack against the Mongols had already begun and would become more intense. This kind of counterattack was something the Mongols had never encountered before and could not imagine.
Tuo Lei himself did not expect it.
He had seen the last time the Mongols invaded the northern Han Dynasty, and he knew that although there were many Han people, they were all unarmed farmers. When calculating the strength of the enemy and ourselves, they could be completely ignored. He also went deep into the Song Dynasty.
, contacting those caravans from the Great Zhou Dynasty, to be honest, the warriors in those caravans are a threat, but the main force of the Great Zhou army has gone north. Why are those scattered in villages and towns all over the country so fierce and aggressive? They are still so fierce and aggressive.
Shouldn't we be frightened by the majesty of the Mongolian army and surrender obediently? Just like in the past!
Tuo Lei suddenly felt as if he had rashly rushed into a land that was too dangerous. His subordinates were no longer the vigorous horsemen who could drive the herds freely, and were no longer the masters of the vast land. They had become the common murmurs on the grassland.
creek.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Those creeks suddenly appear due to a certain rain and snow, and can form seemingly turbulent water, but as they flow, they are covered with various gravels.
, the meadow or swamp absorbed the water, and finally disappeared inexplicably... The same was true for the scattered Mongolian troops!
If these attacks become more frequent and continue, the impact on the Mongolian army will be very fatal.
The previous dispersion of the Mongolian army was to create a huge momentum and force the main force of the Zhou army in the north to move south quickly. But if it cannot be assembled in time after being dispersed, then what is it? Let the Mongolian warriors die? Let Guo Ning capture the fourth prince of Mongolia again?
?
Thinking of this, Tuo Lei suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
Those things just now are all trivial matters. The key lies not in that, but in the movements of the various departments of the Zhou army!
Today is the eleventh day of the invasion of the Central Plains. He and his men gradually lost the thrill of the previous few days and began to feel the counterattack of the Han'er of the Central Plains. But it was only the counterattack of the Han'er of the Central Plains. Shaanxi
The Zhou army in Shanxi did not move, the Zhou army in Shanxi on the north bank of the Yellow River did not move, and the Zhou army in Shandong did not move either.
Did they not react, or were they waiting for something else?
What the entire operation wanted to mobilize was not just the troops stationed in these places. Tou Lei worked so hard in order to get a real revenge on Guo Ning and a severe blow to the military power of the entire Zhou Dynasty. So, the Zhou army used to conquer the grassland
Where is the main force?
It would have taken the previous Jin army half a year to return from the grasslands to the Central Plains. But the main force of the Zhou army, like the Mongolian army, was equipped with a large number of mules and horses, and had a large and elite cavalry force. Then Guo Ning launched a fierce attack.
One day was enough time for him to lead his cavalry to the Central Plains.
Where is Guo Ning?
It’s not necessarily true that these people think that relying solely on the force of the Central Plains is enough to involve the Tuo Lei Department. So they are not in a hurry?
