Chapter 118 Capturing the Mongolian General
The Mongolian cavalry who had just rushed into the camp quickly pulled the reins and pushed their horses back, trying to rush out of the camp.
At this time, an ambush appeared on both sides of the camp gate. Two groups of infantry in heavy armor rushed out pushing carts, hoping to intercept the retreat of the Mongolian cavalry.
Tuo Tuohaer was so frightened that he clamped his horse's belly tightly, causing the horse to jump up and jump out the moment the cart closed.
However, the Mongolian army behind them was not so lucky. They were blocked by the encircling infantry. Their horses either hit the carts or hit their spears.
Nearly two hundred Mongolian cavalry were surrounded by infantry on all sides. The cavalry, which had lost speed, immediately became a target and was forced into a group by carts and spears.
The Mongols rode around on horseback, blocking arrows with their swords, and slashing at approaching carts and spearmen, but they were knocked off their horses by being stabbed repeatedly by spears.
The sound of killing by spearmen in the camp was loud. When the recruits saw the blood, their eyes immediately turned red. Their spears kept stabbing, making bloody holes in the cavalry and the horses under their legs.
Seeing this, Zhao Tai shouted hurriedly: "Don't hurt the horse!"
However, in the fierce battle, his roar had no effect and could not travel very far. The recruits were soaring with adrenaline that they just shouted for a sudden kill and killed all the surrounding Mongolian cavalry in a matter of seconds.
Tutuohaer jumped out of the camp, looked back at his trapped subordinates, and did not dare to stay for long. At this time, the Mongolian soldiers who sneaked into the artillery group were also ambushed, and they also suffered heavy losses.
In a short time, 70% to 80% of the three hundred Mongolian cavalry were lost, leaving only a dozen cavalrymen.
On Pizhou City, Yang You was dumbfounded and hurriedly ordered, "Quick, dispatch five hundred men and horses to go out of the city to respond!"
Pi County is the state capital of Pizhou. A city of this level has Weng City.
The function of Wengcheng is not only to protect the city gate, but also to prevent enemy troops from taking advantage of the chaos to rob the city.
Five hundred Li troops marched into Wengcheng, then the city gates were closed, Wengcheng lowered the drawbridge, the Wengcheng gates opened, and Li Jun rushed out with shouts.
At this time, Totuo Ha'er, who had just escaped from the camp, had gathered more than ten subordinates, and was being chased by the Jin army and running around.
They galloped left and right, but whenever they were about to break through the encirclement, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of them, and a large number of torches appeared in an instant, scaring them so much that they ran away.
At this time, Tutuohaer, who was running quickly, heard the warning sound from the city head and saw soldiers and horses rushing out of the north city gate to respond.
Overjoyed, he drew his horse and shouted, "Hurry! Go to the north gate!"
More than a dozen cavalrymen galloped north, and were about to join up with the responding Li Army. However, a large group of torches suddenly appeared in front of them. The Li Army, which came out of the city to respond, was attacked by the cavalry led by Wuxian, and was ambushed by the ambushed infantry.
, suffered heavy losses in an instant.
When Yang You at the top of the city saw this scene, he punched the wall, "Damn it, I've fallen into a trap!"
Tuotuoha'er failed to make a sneak attack and even managed to get himself involved, causing him to lose hundreds of elite soldiers.
The Mongolian soldiers fleeing outside the city could only rein in their horses when they saw the situation ahead. The shocked Mongolian soldiers were full of fear and asked, "Qianhu, what should we do now?"
Tuo Tuo Ha'er saw that he could not go through the north gate, so he immediately pulled out his horse and said, "Charge east again and fight back the same way!"
More than a dozen Mongolian cavalry fled eastward, and were constantly pursued and plotted along the way. As they were about to break out of the pocket set by Zhao Tai, a stumbling rope suddenly stretched straight on the road ahead.
The war horse screamed and stumbled. Tuo Tuohaer and the only remaining cavalryman were thrown away and their bodies hit the ground heavily.
As soon as the two landed, before they could react, several black figures swarmed up and pinned them down.
This sneak attack did not last long. In less than an hour, the Mongols who came out of the city to attack were completely wiped out. The Li army who came out of the city to respond also lost more than 200 people.
After dawn, the camp was in a mess, with the corpses of Mongolian soldiers and horses everywhere.
The recruits acted carelessly and couldn't hold back when they were excited. Not only did they not capture any Mongolians, they also didn't even leave a few intact war horses, which made both Zhao Tai and Wu Xian feel it was a pity.
Now the Jin Kingdom has lost the north and Guanzhong, and only Henan is left. The situation is the same as that of the Song Dynasty, lacking horses.
Although there is still Guo Xiatu in Longxi, his contact with Henan has been cut off, making it difficult for the Jin Kingdom to obtain war horses from there.
Nowadays, the war horses of the Jin Kingdom can be said to be one dead and one missing, and horses have become an extremely scarce strategic resource.
"These losers!" Wu Xian couldn't help but cursed as he looked at the war horse that was stabbed to death and injured by his subordinates.
Zhao Tai also felt it was a pity, but he was a new soldier after all, so he was easy to get into trouble at first. After fighting a few battles, he would calm down a lot.
At this time, the two men looked at each other with regretful expressions. The soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield. Suddenly, the good news came. Xu Erzhu led his men to ambush on the road and captured the Mongolian army general Totuo Ha'er.
Wu Xian couldn't help laughing when he received his reward, and said: "Here comes someone, bring it to me for a look."
Not long after, Xu Erzhu led a group of loyal soldiers, escorting Tuo Tuohaer who was tied up by Wuhua Da, and a Mongolian soldier.
"My lord, Mr. Hengsang!" Xu Erzhu puffed up his chest and saluted the two of them quite proudly. "In my humble position, I caught Tutuoha'er from a thousand households in Mongolia on the road."
Zhao Tai looked at the tied Tuo Tuo Ha'er and saw that even his mouth was blocked with cloth. He couldn't help asking: "Why is it tied so tightly?"
Xu Erzhu said: "Reporting to my husband, I can't make him strong unless I tie him up. This guy doesn't have enough food and salt. He not only bites people, but also bites his own people."
Zhao Tai felt a chill in his heart. He looked around and saw fear in the eyes of a Mongolian soldier next to him. He must have given some information, so he probably knew what was going on.
In this case, there is no need to recruit Totuo Ha'er. Zhao Tai said to Wu Xian: "It is better to drag him to the city to lower the morale of the defenders."
Wu Xian nodded, and then ordered: "You guys prepare a big cart, tie him to it, and let the garrison on the city take a look."
In Pi County, successive defeats demoralized the defenders.
Yesterday, the Jin army attacked the city for the first time, causing huge psychological pressure on the defenders.
In the evening, Tuo Tuohaer led the Mongolian cavalry to rob the camp. He originally thought that he could destroy the Jin army's siege equipment, but he didn't expect that he did not come back and caused the Li army to lose more than 200 people.
If the soldiers who went out of the city to respond had not reacted quickly and immediately pulled back when they saw something was wrong, all five hundred people would have died outside the city.
Yang You and others stood at the top of the city, all with sad faces, not knowing what to do next.
At this moment, a large vehicle rolled out from the camp outside the city and slowly approached the city wall.
"Wanhu, look!" The officer on the city took a closer look, his expression changed drastically, and he pointed at the cart as a reminder.
Yang You turned around and saw that there was someone tied up in the car. He couldn't help but rub his eyes, squinted and looked around. Then his heart was pounding, "It's Tuotuo Qianhu."
