Zhao Tai shook his head and muttered: "Luoyang is far away from us. We rushed thousands of miles to help. When we arrived, we were already a tired army. The Mongols were waiting for work and could defeat us directly. The Zhongyi Army was formed less than a year ago, and the field battle was worrying, so they left

It would be too dangerous to rush for reinforcements from the city thousands of miles away. Moreover, Kuoduan is in Xuzhou, which is only two to three hundred miles away from Suining. How can we spare our troops?"

Wang Wentong nodded, "Then we can only ignore the Privy Council's order!"

In early November, as the Mongolian army captured Zhengzhou and the main force of Wo Kuotai arrived at Hulao Pass, the battle between Mongolia and Jin suddenly took a turn for the worse.

At this time, the Mongols' intention was completely exposed, which was to capture Luoyang and Tongguan and tear apart the Guanhe defense line.

After the Jin Dynasty court learned of the Mongolian army's intentions, they immediately sent troops and horses to march westward. Several supporting troops were defeated by the Mongolian cavalry before they reached Zhengzhou.

This made the Jin troops in each city fearful and did not dare to go out for reinforcements. They hid in the city and watched the Mongolian army storm Hulao Pass.

Wo Kuotai is determined to win this battle.

This is a rare opportunity for him since he became the Great Khan. If he cannot succeed and cannot establish his prestige, then where will he put his face? The princes and nobles will only think that he is not as good as Tuo Lei. They have chosen the wrong Great Khan.

For the Jin Kingdom, Luoyang and Tongguan were lost in this battle, the Guanhe defense line was destroyed, and Kaifeng would be under direct threat at all times.

Previously, the Jin State relied on the Guanhe Defense Line to resist the Mongols. The Mongols fought for three months and had to withdraw when the Yellow River thawed. The Jin State had nine months to carry out production and restore its military strength.

But if the Guanhe defense line is torn apart and the Mongolian army captures Tongguan and Luoyang, they can send troops to Kaifeng at any time.

As a result, the Jin Kingdom was always threatened by the Mongolian cavalry and could not start production. It would be dragged down by the war in less than a year.

Therefore, the consequences of losing Luoyang and Tongguan cannot be overstated. If they were lost, the entire Jin Kingdom would be destroyed.

Faced with this situation, everyone in the Jin Kingdom panicked. Even though they knew that going to rescue would mean risking death, the Jin Kingdom's court still gave orders to all armies to reinforce Luoyang.

Zhao Tai did not follow the orders of the Jin court. By mid-November, bad news soon came.

Soon after Monk Chen defeated Subutai at Hulao Pass, Wo Kuotai led the main force to arrive at Hulao Pass, and the Mongolian army came back again.

At this time, there were only 3,000 garrison troops at Hulao Pass, while there were 80,000 Mongolian troops outside the city.

Wokuotai immediately ordered his soldiers to use their weapons and ordered the Han army to storm Hulao Pass. However, Monk Chen was really powerful. The Mongolian army attacked several times but could not capture it.

This made everyone in the Jin Kingdom breathe a sigh of relief, but when Wo Kuotai saw that the attack could not succeed, he immediately took advantage of the superiority of troops and cavalry and sent Subotai to lead 10,000 cavalry. He ordered him to make up for his failure and march westward on the ice of the Yellow River.

Hundreds of miles away, he suddenly appeared at Mengjinguan.

Mengjin Pass is located in the north of Luoyang and is the northern gate of Luoyang. It has few troops. Once it falls, the Mongolian army can attack Luoyang and outflank Hulao Pass from behind.

When Monk Chen heard the news, he was worried that the Mongolian army would break through Mengjin and march directly to Luoyang, so he hurriedly withdrew from Luoyang.

Soon, the Mongolian army broke through Hulao Pass, and all three thousand defenders were killed. The news spread to Kaifeng, and the Central Plains was shaken. The danger of national subjugation immediately fell on the heads of the Jin Dynasty's monarchs and ministers.

November 14th, Suining County.

A Jin cavalry force of nearly a hundred people, surrounded by a general, galloped towards Suining. Behind them, nearly a thousand Mongolian cavalry were chasing after them.

The Jin cavalry was galloping, turning around from time to time and shooting an arrow backwards. The Mongolian cavalry chasing behind them immediately fell off their horses.

When the Mongolian cavalry was chasing, they kept bending their bows and shooting arrows, shooting down the galloping golden soldiers.

"Quick, protect the marshal and go first!" At this moment, seeing the Mongolian cavalry getting closer and closer, a general beside Heda suddenly shouted loudly.

After speaking, the golden general directly reined in his horse, and more than ten cavalrymen behind him also reined in their horses, turned around, and pointed their bows and arrows directly at the Mongolian army.

Heda did not stop and continued to gallop towards Suining. More than a dozen Jin Army cavalry reined in their horses and stood in the cold wind. The leader suddenly roared: "Kill!"

More than a dozen Jin Army cavalry, knowing that the Mongolian army was powerful, still had the heart to die, and with tragic feelings, they began to mobilize their horses and rushed towards the Mongolian army formations that were hundreds of them.

The pursuing Mongolian troops couldn't help but sneer when they looked at these golden soldiers who turned around to die. They clamped their legs on the horse's belly and patted the horse to speed up.

The Jin Army cavalry shot an arrow while running, then threw away their bows and arrows, each holding a sword and spear, and rushed into the Mongolian army. The Mongolian scimitars slashed at them one after another. In a moment, more than a dozen Jin Army cavalry

They fell off their horses one after another.

This golden army failed to stop the Mongolian army. The Mongolian cavalry galloped past, leaving only the corpses of the Jin army and ownerless horses on the ground.

At this time, the Mongolian army Qianhu looked up and saw the Jin army cavalry being pursued. They had already run away. They immediately clamped down on the horse's belly and shouted, "Chase!"

After leaving Xuzhou, we headed for Heda in Suining and galloped southward, with the Mongolian cavalry chasing after us.

They pursued Heda for more than two hundred miles, but unfortunately Heda was all cavalry. If he had been infantry, he would have been killed and wounded long ago.

Heda ran in front, while the Mongolian army chased behind them. They galloped in pursuit and finally arrived at the foot of Suining City.

At this time, the Mongolian cavalry still did not give up, and was about to catch up. Suddenly, there was a constant sound of piercing the sky above the city, and dozens of crossbow arrows were fired rapidly from the top of the city!

The Mongolian cavalry who were chasing at the front were unprepared and were immediately shot through by crossbow arrows. Many cavalrymen were hit by large spear-like crossbow arrows. Their buttocks left the saddle, and their whole bodies were shot by huge arrows and jumped into the air.

Falling off the war horse.

"No! There are ballistas on the city, stop! Stop!" The pursuing Mongolian officers reacted and shouted loudly.

However, the galloping Mongolian army could not stop for a while. The Zhongyi Army on the city fired various ballistas and crossbows at the same time, killing nearly dozens of horsemen.

Seeing the crossbow bed on the city, the Mongolian cavalry did not dare to continue the pursuit, so they took a detour and retreated five hundred steps away from the city, reining in their horses.

The Mongolian cavalry took a closer look and saw that the Suining City in front was already full of defenders, and the city was covered with crossbowmen. They could only watch Heda and his party galloping to the city.

The leading Mongolian Qianhu were a little reluctant to see this, but they still said: "Count them lucky. Get out!"

After saying this, Qianhu pulled the reins of his horse and led the cavalry back.

On the top of the city, Zhao Tai saw the Mongolian cavalry retreating, so he immediately ordered his generals to ask, "Who are you?"

The leading general came forward on horseback, "It's me! Wanyan Heda!"

After hearing this, Zhao Tai leaned out and looked down. He saw Heda, wearing armor and looking embarrassed, riding on a horse. He couldn't help but tremble in his heart, "Did Xuzhou fall?"
