In the Mongolian royal court, after Guiyou served as Khan for several times, Torregona was greedy for power and always firmly controlled the government. Most of the central officials were her appointed cronies. Guiyou was unwilling to be a khan in name only, but a puppet in reality.
The mother and son have long been at odds with each other, fighting endlessly for the supreme power. The kings on the left and the right do not want to get involved in this muddy water, and have been sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fight. The Torre family is secretly accumulating strength because of the conflict between mother and son. As the fighting intensified, the Great Khan's group had less control over them, which was perfect for them to make secret plans.
However, two consecutive defeats at the hands of Dengzhou's "bandit army" made the entire Mongolia lose face. Not only Guiyou was furious, but even the kings from all walks of life who had nothing to do with him were also filled with righteous indignation. The whole court Except for Torregona, who wanted to keep his position as regent, everyone in the civil and military circles was very angry.
A mere place, one after another, actually slapped our golden family in the face one after another.
It is unbearable!
Plate him!
He must be interrogated!
When the battle report of the second Dengzhou battle was returned to the royal court, it could be said that one stone stirred up a thousand waves.
The 'bandit army', which they thought could be easily captured, turned out to be disgraceful to the coalition forces. Although the Han people were just a hound they raised, it still depends on the owner to beat the dog.
Putting aside Tolegena, the other kings immediately reached a consensus that the "Dengzhou bandits" must be dealt with ruthlessly.
After days of discussions, the Mongolian side finally decided that the Western Expedition General Wu Lianghetai would take command this time and lead 20,000 households straight to Dengzhou. In addition to the direct lineage of the Mongolian army, the Han princes would also mobilize troops again.
The Mongols were rich and valuable, so of course it was the Han soldiers who did the dirty work.
Considering the opponent's sharp firearms, although the Mongols had finalized the charter, they did not immediately go on an expedition. Moreover, it was indeed too cold to launch an expedition. However, the order was sent out first to allow the Han people to make early arrangements. Prepare.
The Han Dynasty Allied Forces had just suffered a new defeat and lost a lot of soldiers and horses. It is estimated that they will not be able to mobilize too many troops for a while. After all, the current coach of Song Ting, Meng Gong, is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If too many troops are mobilized, , causing the front line to be empty and the Song people to successfully steal the chicken, it would be very bad.
What's more, Guyot doesn't want to send troops immediately. The battle between him and Tregena has already seen red. When the decisive battle comes, he will definitely pursue the victory and regain his own power in one go. According to Guyot's plan, next year It will almost be done before spring starts, all it takes is the last tremor, and it is not a good time to use weapons without permission.
It won't be too late to take action once the last position is taken. The 'Dengzhou bandit army' is just a scabies disease, and Tuo Liege is the real serious problem.
It is irrefutable that Guyou delayed the departure of the coalition forces due to climate factors. After he ascended the throne, he did not do nothing. While he and Torregona were fighting openly and secretly, he also attracted a large number of courtiers who were suppressed when Toregona was in power. After these courtiers resurrected, they were also a force that could not be ignored. Although this group of people could not compare with the kings who held heavy armies, they were more than enough to wave flags and shout.
Like the Song Ting, the Mongols also obtained muskets and artillery from Dengzhou Prefecture. However, even the skilled craftsmen of the Song Ting could not decipher the secrets, and the Mongols even less wanted to make a difference. After a period of secret research, The Mongols also gradually gave up their thoughts on imitation.
In their simple values, imitation is too low, and after a lot of hard work, it is better to just snatch away the craftsmen who can make firearms. As long as they capture the mere "Dengzhou Bandit Army", the firearms are not yet at hand. , just like the navy, the Mongols started in the grasslands and never considered the navy.
The navy under his command was inherited from the Jin Kingdom. Although the Mongolian navy is currently not as good as the Song Dynasty, it will surpass them sooner or later.
As for how difficult it would be to capture Dengzhou Prefecture and how many troops and horses it would cost, it didn't matter. Anyway, with the Han coalition charging into the battle, they would have to capture Dengzhou Prefecture even at the cost of their lives.
By then, with the two sharp weapons of muskets and artillery, Zhao Song Jiangshan would be at his fingertips!
………………
In Dengzhou Prefecture, it didn't take long for the Mongol Royal Court's decision to be passed back by spies from the Fuxing Society through various channels. Li Jie couldn't help but sneer when he saw this information.
The Mongols may have won too many victories and become inflated!
Arrogant!
Our side currently has no shortage of high-end combat power. Although the mid-level combat power cannot match that of the Song Dynasty and Mongolia, it is still no problem to defend this territory. The bottom-level combat power is unmatched by anyone at the time.
If this world hadn't been a Chinese martial arts world, Li Jie would have sent his troops to sweep the world with all his strength. How could he be so trembling like now, having to supplement the middle and high-level combat power before he dared to go out.
However, after all, the Mongols have strong troops and horses. They can rest, but the Renaissance Army cannot rest. The great man said it well. Strategically, we despise the enemy, but tactically we must pay attention to the enemy. The strategic depth of one house alone is too small. Once the Mongols come back, This time it's not so easy to fool.
The reason why the Qi soldiers are Qi soldiers is because the other party did not expect it. The Mongols are not fools. They were fooled once and twice. Is it possible that they can be fooled a third time?
Taking advantage of the 'winter break', the Renaissance Army must capture more cities as soon as possible. Dengzhou Prefecture is located in the northern part of the Shandong Peninsula and belongs to Shandong East Road. It governs Yidu Prefecture and has two prefectures and eleven prefectures under its jurisdiction.
Li Jie planned to take the lead in capturing Laizhou and Ninghaizhou before the Mongolian army set out, holding the Jiaodong Peninsula in hand, and capturing Laizhou Bay and Jiaozhou Bay. By then, the strategy of trapping the enemy that the Mongols wanted to implement would be self-defeating unless the Mongols The people came to conquer the Renaissance Army at all costs, otherwise the cannon would directly teach them how to behave.
After two battles in Dengzhou, Dengzhou and nearby cities have long been in turmoil. The Mongols and Han rulers have been guarding them to the death. However, there are undercurrents in each city. Many people secretly pray and hope that the Renaissance Army will recover them as soon as possible.
Soldiers are expensive and fast!
Just do it, this strategy is one of the many strategies on record. The Renaissance Army Staff Headquarters had made various plans before attacking Dengzhou Prefecture, and gradually began to adjust as the war progressed.
The Fuxing Society has kept a low profile over the years, and the various strategic materials stored on Fuxing Island have been piled up. The completion can support the Fuxing Army's long-term operations on the Jiaodong Peninsula. There is no shortage of soldiers, food, artillery, firearms, and ammunition.
Now Guo Jing's joining has directly expanded the high-end combat power of the Renaissance Army several times. In order to prevent the Mongols from launching a grandmaster raid, Guo Jing directly summoned the martyrs of the Anti-Mongolian Alliance to Dengzhou Prefecture to hold a new Anti-Mongolian Conference. This time The meeting was very lively and successful. The fight against the Tatars in the Jiangnan area was a fight, and the fight against the Tatars in Jiaodong was also a fight. It was not a fight anywhere.
