"Lord Bagan, you can't doubt me! I am loyal to you!"
As he was dragged away by the Mongolian warriors, Wang Quan's shouts were full of sorrow and despair, but the leaders of the Mongolian coalition looked on with cold eyes and said nothing.
In fact, they have long been dissatisfied with Wang Quan, a Han traitor, being treated as equals to them during this period of time!
Especially Su He, the leader of the Chagatai, who had a close relationship with Wang Quan before and was about to become brothers with different surnames, but at this time, he had no intention of interceding for Wang Quan. Instead, his eyes were filled with contentment. It's indifferent, with a hint of sarcasm.
At the same time, Zigmu rode his horse close to Bagan and said with a sneer: "We should have done this a long time ago! At this point, the Han people have already seen everything. We must also eliminate all hidden dangers. We must not do this again. I believe these Han people have surrendered! During this period, first a large number of exploring horses were intercepted and killed by the Han people, then Zhenning Acropolis was lost, and now tens of thousands of Han troops suddenly appeared... It is obvious that the cunning Han people have laid a trap for us , we didn’t realize it until now, it’s because of the misleading of these Han people! Mr. Bagan, how about leaving their interrogation to me? In just two days at most, I can force them to reveal all the information!”
As he spoke, Qi Gemu's eyes flashed with ferocious light.
Obviously, if Bagan leaves the interrogation to Qie Gemu, Wang Quan, Wang Ying and others will definitely end up extremely tragic!
Wang Quan's defection to Bagan was a betrayal of the Ordos tribe, so Qigemu has secretly hated Wang Quan and others for a long time!
Bagan ignored Qie Gemu, just gritted his teeth and stared at the battlefield of Jiezhou City in the distance, his wolf-like eyes faintly flashing with cold light, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
Seeing Bagan for a long time, he didn't say anything. Qigmu's expression was full of shame and anger. Su He, the leader of Chagatai, and Amul, the leader of Yarkant, looked at each other and also rode their horses. Go to Bagan.
Compared with Qi Gemu who only wanted to vent his private hatred, Su He and Amul were more worried about the current battle situation.
Su He asked in a low voice: "Lord Bagan, what Qi Gemu said is right! Looking at the current situation, a large number of Han troops suddenly appeared, it must be that we have fallen into the trap of the Han people! Do we still want to Don’t continue to attack Jiezhou City? How should we respond to the sudden appearance of the Han army?”
Amul also said: "Yes, according to Tan Ma, this Han army is approaching Zhenning Acropolis. This is not only to support He Zhang in Zhenning Acropolis, but also to cut off our retreat. The Han people are extremely ambitious. Da, where are we going from here? I hope Master Bagan will make a decision early, and just delaying it like this is not an option!"
After hearing Su He and Amul's inquiries, Bagan's eyes became more and more uncertain, and his expression was slightly tangled.
In fact, without Su He and Amul's questioning, Bagan was also hesitating about whether to withdraw his troops.
In order to break through Jiezhou City, the Mongolian coalition forces have paid a huge price. Seeing that they have made some progress, if they give up here, all casualties will be in vain! But the sudden appearance of a large-scale Han army at the rear of the battlefield is also a great threat. If they still desperately attack Jiezhou City, the entire Mongolian coalition may be in danger!
Finally, Bagan gritted his teeth and said: "We must not retreat! The city defense of Jiezhou City has almost reached its limit. If we give up here, all the casualties in these days will be in vain! Not only can we not withdraw our troops, but we must further increase the intensity of the siege. We must We must break through Jiezhou City in the shortest possible time!”
Hearing Bagan's decision, Zigmu, Su He, and Amul were all a little surprised. They didn't expect that Bagan would want to take a risk at this time.
Qi Gemu couldn't help but retorted loudly: "Bagan, the Han people obviously want to cut off our retreat and surround us. Jiezhou City cannot be conquered in a short time. It doesn't matter if you go crazy yourself, why bother dragging me with Mongolia?" Tens of thousands of warriors from the right-wing tribe are in danger together?"
Hearing Qie Gemu's question, Ba Gen suddenly turned his head to look at Zie Gemu, and saw Ba Gen's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and his eyes were as ferocious as those of tigers and wolves - obviously, such a decision made Ba Gen Gen was under great pressure - Zigmu was usually conceited and brave, but after seeing Ba Gen's appearance, he still couldn't help but feel panicked.
After Bagan stared at Qiegemu closely for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said: "Qiegemu, don't forget, what does the batch of grain in Jiezhou City mean to the various tribes in Mongolia! Grassland, southern Xinjiang There have been natural disasters in the Western Regions for many years, and the tribes are no longer able to survive. Our invasion of Han territory this time to plunder was originally a risk! If we cannot plunder enough food, how will the tribes survive this winter? If not After plundering enough food, what's the point of returning the entire army to the grassland safely?! If you, Qie Gemu, are unwilling to take the risk, you can lead the Mongolian right-wing tribe and leave on your own!"
Under the intimidation of Bagan, Qigemu's tone was a little weak, but he still continued to retort: "If we don't retreat, are we going to let the Han people cut off our retreat? Even if we break through Jiezhou City, Jiezhou After plundering enough food and grass, how can we break through the siege of the Han people?"
Bagan said coldly: "Whether Wang Quan is a traitor to the Han people or not, one thing he said is right. Most Han people are cowardly. As long as we hurt them hard, they will not dare to make any more moves! We Mongolian warriors It is true that he is not very good at siege, but when fighting in the wild, are he still afraid of the Han people?"
Having said this, Bagan glanced at everyone and said: "Now, we are indeed a little passive, but our main force is not damaged, and we are not at a disadvantage! The Han army that appears this time must be the main force of the Han border army In order to assemble this army, the Han people must have mobilized garrison forces from various places, but we don’t need to panic. This is not necessarily a bad thing. As long as we annihilate this Han army, the Han people will no longer be able to stop us. We will no longer have any worries! At that time, after we have conquered Jiezhou City, we can take advantage of the fact that the Han army's vitality is severely injured, their morale is low, and the local defense forces are weak, to further attack the other cities of the Han people. It will only get bigger!”
Hearing what Bagan said, Zigmu, Su He, and Amul were shocked again. They all didn't expect Bagan's ambition to be so big! Things have developed to this point, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Mongolian coalition forces have fallen into the trap of the Han people, but Bagan not only did not back down, but instead wanted to further expand the results!
But after careful consideration, they had to admit that Bagan's statement did make sense.
After discovering the appearance of a large-scale Han army, they were indeed a little frightened. They were just afraid of the encirclement of the Han army, but they ignored that their own strength was still superior to the Han army!
At least, in the eyes of Bagan, Qigemu and others, their strength is still stronger than the Han army! In their eyes, most of the Han border troops were old, weak, sick and disabled. How could they compare with the Mongolian warriors? This concept has long been deeply rooted in their hearts and will not be easily changed.
In fact, Bagan's statement is also reasonable. The Mongolian coalition is good at fighting in the field. The number of cavalry is far more than that of the Han army. Their bravery in combat is not comparable to that of the Han army!
In comparison, only a few private soldiers among the Han border troops could compete with the Mongolian elite cavalry!
What's more, the Han people assembled such a large-scale force in a hurry, and mutual cooperation, coordination, and command are all big problems. The Mongolian coalition has not yet successfully integrated, let alone the Han army that has just been assembled. It seems to be huge in scale and has a lot of troops, but it is still unknown how much strength it can exert!
Thinking of these situations, Qi Gemu, Su He and Amul gradually calmed down their panic and regained their confidence.
After seeing the changes in the expressions of Zigmu, Suhe, and Amul, Bagan turned to Balsi and asked again: "After you discovered the movements of the Han army, did you send someone to report the news to Gugen?"
Balsi nodded quickly and said: "Lord Gugen is currently leading the troops to attack Zhenning Acropolis. This villain naturally understands the importance. After discovering the movements of the Han army, he immediately sent people to Zhenning Acropolis to report to Lord Gugen!"
Bagan nodded and said: "Gugen has rich combat experience and has 10,000 cavalry under his command. As long as he receives the news in advance, he can certainly delay it for a while..."
Having said this, Bagan turned to look at Su He and Amul again, and asked: "If you cooperate with Gu Gen's troops, I will give you another fifteen thousand fine cavalry. Are you two confident in defeating this army?" Han army?"
After Su He and Amul looked at each other, they both said loudly: "How can the Han army be the opponent of our grassland warriors? Lord Bagan, don't worry, the two of us will definitely be able to severely damage this Han army!"
Bagan said solemnly: "Okay! I will give you two fifteen thousand elite cavalry, and you two will lead the troops to Zhenning Acropolis to support Gugen! You must give me a hard beating on the Han people to make them understand that I am The bravery of the Mongolian warriors has completely extinguished their resistance, and they no longer dare to compete with our Mongolian army!"
When issuing the order, Bagan had no intention of discussing it.
In normal times, in order to maintain the stability of the Mongolian coalition forces, Bagan might have taken care of the emotions of several coalition leaders. However, the more critical moments came, Bagan became more arbitrary.
"As you command!"
Su He and Amul did not dare to neglect, and immediately accepted the order in unison.
After Bagan pondered for a moment, he turned to Qigemu and said: "The total strength of the Chagatai tribe and the Yarkand tribe is only more than 8,000 men. The remaining strength will be supplemented by the warriors of the Junggar Khanate. Qi, but the attack on Jiezhou City still cannot be delayed, so the warriors of the Mongolian right-wing tribes need to share more of the burden!"
The Chagatai tribes and Yarkand tribes are both vassals of the Junggar Khanate, but the relationship between the Mongolian right-wing tribes and the Junggar Khanate is more of a cooperative relationship. If Bagan wants to mobilize the troops of the Mongolian right-wing army, he must first go through Qig. Mu agrees.
In Qiegemu's eyes, compared with siege warfare, which his own side is not good at, it is undoubtedly much easier to fight with the Han army in the field. Not only will the results be greater, but the damage may be less, so Qiegemu heard that Ba After Gen's statement, he couldn't help but look a little dissatisfied.
Sensing the change in Qiegemu's expression, Bagan added: "In addition, the interrogation of Wang Quan and the Han surrendered generals has also been handed over to the Qiegemu brothers!"
Obviously, Bagan knew that Qiegemu had always been resentful of Wang Quan's betrayal, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to take revenge. Now, in order to persuade Qiegemu to agree to his plan, he betrayed Wang Quan cleanly!
Wang Quan may be innocent, and he is destined to have a bad end after falling into the hands of Qie Gemu, but Bagan doesn't care about such trivial things.
On the other side, after hearing Bagan’s conditions, Zigmu hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! In the next few days, the warriors of our Mongolian right-wing tribe will be the main force to attack Jiezhou City! But our Mongolian right-wing tribe The tribe only has more than 10,000 troops and cannot withstand too much loss, so the time cannot be delayed too long. Su He and Amul must defeat the main force of the Han army as soon as possible!"
Bagan sneered: "Brother Qigmu, don't worry! The Han army is definitely no match for our Mongolian warriors! This battle will never drag on for too long!"
