Chapter 19
It got dark at night, and Zhao Tai and others fell out of the city.
The group carefully avoided the Mongolian camp and hid in a forest.
After Zhao Tai formulated the plan, he led his subordinates out of the city. Monk Chen also led others to look at the scouts who were lurking on the road from Bianliang to Junzhou, preparing to ambush Wo Kuotai.
After entering the forest and resting for a while, it was daybreak. Zhao Tai ordered his subordinates to look for traces of the Mongols.
In the morning, a few people ate some dry food. Zhao Tai then ordered: "The Mongols are looting everywhere to provide food and grass for the Wokuotai army. We will wait here. When a Mongolian team comes, we will pretend to hunt you down."
, let you be rescued by them!"
Hu Zhen nodded, "Baihu, I understand!"
Zhao Tai patted him on the shoulder, "When you enter the Mongolian camp, you will act according to the opportunity. If the situation goes bad, you will find a way to escape by yourself. Don't go back to Bianjing then, and meet me in Xiangyang!"
Regarding this plan, Zhao Tai was actually unsure.
If the strategy succeeds and the siege of Kaifeng is solved, then he will develop in the Kingdom of Jin.
If the plan fails, Zhao Tai will not return to Kaifeng, but will prepare to run away with the bucket.
Of course, Zhao Tai did not explain this to Monk Chen.
Hu Zhen said: "Don't worry, Baihu! I will definitely succeed!"
Zhao Tai began to draw pictures for individuals, "If the Mongols retreat this time, then I will ask the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom for a general manager. By then, I will be promoted to thousands of households, and you will all be hundreds of thousands of households.
You can enjoy glory and wealth, and most importantly, you can do something meaningful with me, that is, there are Tatars to kill!"
At this time, Zhao Taizheng was talking, and one of his subordinates went into the woods and said, "There are enemy troops in hundreds of households!"
When Zhao Tai saw that it was Sun Li, the spy he sent, he stood up and asked, "How many people are there?"
"There are more than a hundred people!" Sun Li said: "Most of them are Han troops, accompanied by ten Mongolian cavalry! They escorted the cart and headed towards the Mongolian camp!"
Zhao Tai held his breath and pondered for a moment, "Let's take a look."
When the group of people came to the edge of the forest, they saw a convoy advancing slowly on the road in the distance.
This team was escorting vehicles, and the soldiers were carrying large and small bags. They were obviously returning from plundering nearby villages.
Zhao Tai observed carefully and found that those escorting the carriage were indeed Han troops, with only ten Mongolians on horseback.
Seeing this, Zhao Tai turned around and ordered, "It's just them! Lao Hu, you run out, Sun Li, Liu Dun, Xu Erzhu, the three of you chase after them. When the Mongolians found out, they immediately ran back to the forest!"
Several people nodded. Zhao Tai waited for the convoy to get closer, then waved his hand and said, "Action!"
When Sun Li heard this, he pulled out his knife and made a few cuts on the jacket given to Hu Zhen, "Old Hu, please bear with me!"
Hu Zhen nodded, "Just do it!"
After inflicting several skin wounds on Hu Zhen, Hu Zhen ran out first. Sun Li and others immediately picked up knives and chased out of the forest, while shouting loudly, "Stop, stop for me!"
The shouts attracted the attention of the escort team. The Mongolian leader waved his hand, and the convoy stopped. The soldiers drew their swords and bows to guard.
After seeing the situation in the distance clearly, it seemed that several people were chasing one person. The Mongolian leader frowned slightly and said, "Borji, go over and take a look!"
The five cavalrymen were ready to fight. When Sun Li and others saw this, they quickly stopped and ran back.
The Mongolian cavalry immediately divided into two teams, two of them rushed towards Hu Zhen, and three of them pursued Sun Li.
"I want to see the Great Khan! I want to see the Great Khan!" Hu Zhen shouted in Mongolian as she saw the Mongolian soldiers running toward her.
The cavalry saw that he was a Han soldier and listened to his shouts. They reined up their horses in front of him and put away their raised scimitars.
At this time, Sun Li and three others ran wildly, and the Mongols quickly caught up with them, raising their scimitars and preparing to cut down the three men from behind.
In the woods, Zhao Tai bent his bow, nocked an arrow, and pointed his sharp head at the Mongolian cavalry.
"Go!" Zhao Tai shouted softly, and the arrow whizzed out, flying quickly over the Mongolian's head.
"Hey, the shot missed!" Zhao Tai was a little embarrassed. Several people around him reacted and quickly fired arrows. The two Mongolian cavalry at the front were shot straight off their horses.
At this time, there was only one cavalry left. Seeing an ambush in the woods, he quickly pulled the reins of his horse and stopped hastily.
Zhao Tai just happened to bend his bow and nock an arrow again, and shot another arrow. The Mongolian cavalry had no time to react, and was hit directly in the face, screaming and falling from the horse.
Sun Li and others looked back and saw that the pursuing Mongolians had fallen off their horses, so they turned back to finish the attack, and then led the horses into the forest.
Zhao Tai immediately said: "Withdraw!"
Several people immediately followed Zhao Tai and fled deep into the forest.
When the leading Mongolians in the distance saw this scene, they couldn't help but flew into a rage and hurriedly ordered the Han soldiers escorting the vehicles to press over.
He also followed on horseback, and not long after, they came to Hu Zhen first.
At this time, Hu Zhen's clothes and armor were damaged and she had many wounds on her body. She looked quite embarrassed.
When the cavalry leader came over, he was sitting on the ground, gasping for air, "I~I want to see the Great Khan, and I have an urgent military report!"
The other party saw him dressed as a Mongolian soldier and after hearing his words, he couldn't help but frown, "What military situation?"
Hu Zhendao: "This is a secret, I must sweat it in front of you!"
The Mongolian cavalry raised their swords and said, "Who do you think you are? The Great Khan can see you if you want!"
The Mongolian cavalry felt something strange. The person they were chasing just now seemed to be dressed as a Mongolian soldier.
He was very annoyed that he had killed three of his subordinates, and he wanted to figure it out.
Hu Zhen is nearly forty years old, has a lot of experience, and is self-taught in acting. He immediately gave a movie-level performance. He looked frightened, closed his eyes, and blurted out quickly, "Kublai Khan, the young prince, is suspicious of the great king."
Khan poisoned Lord Tolei, led the South Route Army to retreat, and returned to the grassland to hold the Kuritai Conference to re-elect the Great Khan!"
After hearing this, the Mongolian officer's raised sword froze. Although he was reckless and ignorant, he also knew that this was a big deal.
At this time, the Mongolian officers and the surrounding Mongolian soldiers were stunned.
Hu Zhen opened her eyes and saw that the knife had not fallen, so she said: "Take me to see the Khan quickly!"
At this time, the Mongolian officer did not bother to search the forest. He left a few people behind and hurried back to the camp with Hu Zhen.
In the Mongolian camp, Ogedai was inspecting the equipment made by the craftsmen.
More than ten years ago, the Mongols' strength was still in field warfare, but after the capture of Jinzhongdu, the situation changed.
After the Mongolian army captured Jinzhongdu, they not only obtained a large area of land in the north, obtained a certain amount of money and grain through the great feudal princes, and countless sources of troops, but also obtained a large number of Jin craftsmen, which gradually strengthened the Mongolian siege capabilities.
This is Wokuotai spinning around a huge battering ram. This thing is thick and long, with an iron sheet on its head and a cowhide shed on its head. It is not afraid of arrows, rolling wood and stones. Once it rushes to the city, it will be useless.
With a few hammers, the city gate can be broken open.
Wokuotai was very satisfied, "With this sharp weapon, we can destroy the city within three days."
