After the Mongol coalition invaded the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it was smooth sailing at first. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was overwhelming. But since they captured Jiezhou City, the actions of the Mongolian coalition forces have been repeatedly frustrated. Not only did the battle against Jiezhou City make no progress, the Zhenning Acropolis that was finally captured was also lost. The originally timid and weak Han army It was even more ready to move, forcing Bagan, the coach of the Mongolian coalition, to divide his troops into continuous operations.
But it was said that after Su He, Amul, and Yasida led the troops to rescue Gugen's army in Zhenning Acropolis, Bagan fell into an inexplicable restlessness. There was always a faint uneasiness deep in his heart, but Bagan I have never been able to find out where this uneasiness comes from.
As a result, this inexplicable uneasiness made Bagan's temper extremely violent. The Mongolian leaders under his command would be severely punished if they made the slightest mistake, which made the entire Mongolian coalition panic.
On the next day, Bagan once again personally commanded the Mongolian coalition forces to storm Zhenning Acropolis.
At this time, due to two consecutive divisions of troops, the Mongolian coalition forces under Bogen only had more than 26,000 soldiers left, including more than a thousand wounded soldiers, which can be said to be greatly reduced in strength.
A few days ago, the strength of the Mongolian coalition was more than 50,000, and the logistics were sufficient. The morale of the troops was at its peak, and they were not yet able to quickly break through Jiezhou City. Now the strength of the Mongolian coalition has been halved, and the logistics and armaments have also been reduced due to the fall of Zhenning Acropolis. As the situation gradually becomes more difficult and the morale of the army gradually declines, how can they still make achievements easily?
Therefore, this day's siege was still in vain. Even if Bagan became furious and killed three Mongolian leaders who were disadvantaged in the battle, he still could not change the status quo.
It was not until mid-afternoon in the evening, when the sky was getting dark and it was impossible to see anything, that Bagan finally reluctantly retreated.
In the past, Bagan did not think that it would be very difficult for the Mongolian coalition forces to conquer Jiezhou City, because when Bagan followed Galdan in the southern Xinjiang to invade other countries, it had never been difficult to conquer the city, and the Han people He is famous for his cowardice and is no match for the Mongolian coalition.
However, when Bagan actually started to attack Zhenning Acropolis, he discovered his miscalculation - the Han people's cities and the so-called "cities" of the southern Xinjiang countries are completely different concepts, whether it is the height and thickness of the city wall, The width of the moat and the completeness of the defensive measures are all different. The usually timid Han army's combat effectiveness when defending the city is much stronger than usual. On the contrary, the Mongolian cavalry, which claims to be invincible in field battles, is attacking the city. I have never been able to exert my full strength...
After this period of unfavorable siege, Bagan has vaguely realized that it may be difficult for the Mongolian coalition forces to break through Jiezhou City in a short time!
However, Bagan has been unwilling to admit this.
In other words, Bagan was completely afraid to admit that he had such an idea.
In order to attack Jiezhou City, the Mongolian coalition forces have devoted a lot of energy, consumed a lot of resources, and sacrificed a lot of troops. If nothing is gained in the end, not only will all the previous investment be in vain, but the Mongolian tribes will also find it difficult to If they survive this winter, the reputation of the Junggar Khanate as the leader of this war will be seriously damaged, and it will even affect the Junggar Khanate's ambition to unify the Mongolian tribes!
Bagan is usually a very responsible person, but he still cannot bear such a heavy responsibility!
Therefore, even though he was vaguely aware of the final result in his heart, Bagan still did not dare to face the facts. He could only take luck and kept hypnotizing himself, "Maybe if I put more effort tomorrow, I can break the city." "The Han people will soon be unable to hold on" and "the Mongolian warriors are invincible" are like a gambler who is willing to risk all his remaining wealth in order to make money and change his life!
Of course, gamblers with such a mentality will mostly lose everything in the end.
In fact, on this night, Bagan's luck was completely shattered!
*
However, he said that that night, after the Mongolian allied forces ordered their troops to retreat, Bagan hurried back to the camp and began to think hard about the strategy to break through Jiezhou City.
But no matter how hard he thought, Bagan still couldn't think of any effective strategy that could break through Jiezhou City in a short time.
This made Bagan feel even more irritable.
Just when Bagan began to consider whether to summon all the generals of the Mongolian coalition to brainstorm ideas, someone suddenly entered the tent to ask for instructions, saying that they were exploring horses from the west and had urgent military information to report to Bogen.
After hearing the "urgent military situation", Bagan couldn't help but feel anxious and hurriedly summoned Tan Ma to ask for detailed information.
Soon, a well-traveled detective entered Bagan's handsome tent, his expression full of anxiety and panic.
Seeing the expression on this detective's horse, Bagan had a vague premonition in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm as before, and asked in a deep voice: "What on earth is causing you to be so panicked? But is the Han army moving again?" "
The detective knelt in front of Bagan and reported urgently: "Lord Bogen, more than seventy miles west of Jiezhou City, a large-scale Han army was discovered, about 30,000 in number, including at least 10,000 cavalrymen. There are also seven or eight thousand people, and now this Han army is slowly approaching our army!"
"What! Another large-scale Han army appeared?" Bagan couldn't help but feel that the development of the matter had exceeded his worst expectations, and subconsciously retorted: "How is it possible?! This is Guyuan of the Han people. Military Town Defense Zone, and the main force of Guyuan Military Town is now near Zhenning Acropolis, why would a Han army of this size appear again? Impossible! Absolutely impossible..."
However, midway through the words, Bagan’s expression changed again!
Because, Bagan suddenly thought of a possibility!
This Han army that suddenly appeared has a size of more than 30,000, and it is definitely not the strength of Guyuan Military Town, because Guyuan Military Town is no longer able to mobilize an army of this size, so this army is definitely not the strength of Guyuan Military Town. !
But just to the west of Guyuan Military Town, there is also the Han Gansu Military Town!
Therefore, this Han army is likely to be the reinforcements from Gansu Military Town to support Guyuan Military Town!
If this is the case, the situation will become very serious for the Mongolian coalition forces!
Because the troops from Gansu Military Town rushed to the defense area of Guyuan Military Town to provide support, it means that the major military towns in the Han border areas have most likely begun joint operations!
In recent years, due to the increasingly low control of the trilateral governors over the border troops in various places, they have been unable to mobilize the major military towns to coordinate operations. The major military towns also rely on their own troops and only want to preserve their own strength. If the Mongols invade a certain army, In the defense area of the town, other military towns will often just gloat and watch the fun, and will never waste their own strength and send troops to support!
The reason why the Mongolian coalition forces dared to attack Jiezhou City unscrupulously during this period without worrying that they would fall into the siege of the Han army was because the major military towns in the Ming Dynasty's border areas had been "cleaning the snow in front of their own gates, who cares" over the years. With the style of “making others miserable”, there will rarely be mutual support and cooperation!
Therefore, when the Mongolian coalition attacked Jiezhou City, they originally thought that they only had to face the threat from Guyuan Military Town, and that the Mongolian coalition could easily handle it with the strength of the Mongolian coalition.
Even at the very beginning, many Mongolian generals optimistically believed that all the Han armies were cowed. When they attacked Jiezhou City, even the Guyuan Army Town did not dare to send troops to support them, leaving it to the Mongolian coalition forces to attack Jiezhou City. There is plenty of time in Zhoucheng.
However, the sudden appearance of the main army in Guyuan Military Town two days ago has shattered the Mongolian dreams. Now, large-scale reinforcements from Gansu Military Town have once again appeared to the west of Jiezhou City, which means that various aspects of the Han people's Dajun Town has begun coordinated operations. The Mongolian coalition forces may fall into the heavy siege of the Han army at any time. It can be said that the danger is greatly increased!
Thinking of this, Bagan's expression was solemn and his heartstrings were tense. He subconsciously wanted to urgently summon several leaders of the Mongolian coalition forces to discuss countermeasures.
However, as the saying goes, "good fortune never comes in pairs, misfortune never comes alone." Just when Bagan was about to summon the generals of the Mongolian coalition, another guard hurried into the commander's tent, with an extremely flustered expression, and reported to Bogen: " Lord Bagan, something serious has happened!”
Bagan's heart tightened again, and he frowned and asked, "What happened? Could it be that the Han army is attacking? Do the Han people still have such courage?"
The guard looked pale and said in a panic: "Lord Bagan, the army that went to Zhenning Acropolis yesterday to support Lord Gugen has returned, but there are only less than two thousand people left. Everyone is gone." He was wounded and in a state of embarrassment, and only Su He was left among the three leaders of Yasida, Amul, and Su He. It seemed that he had suffered a disastrous defeat... Master Su He hurried here after returning to the camp. , is now kneeling outside the tent waiting for your summons!"
"What!"
After hearing this report, Bagan's body trembled, and his face also turned pale!
If the Mongolian army supporting Zhenning Acropolis suffered a disastrous defeat, it would mean that the army under Gu Gen near Zhenning Acropolis would also be in trouble!
These two armies totaled 20,000 soldiers and horses, accounting for nearly half of the total strength of the Mongolian coalition!
The most important thing is that these troops are all direct troops and servants of the Junggar Khanate!
If so many troops were suddenly lost, it would be a serious loss for the entire Junggar Khanate!
Thinking of this, Bagan couldn't help but feel a little panicked, even though he was determined.
But in the end, Bagan still forcibly calmed down and ordered with a stern face: "Let Su He come in and see me! Also, send an order to the leaders of the tribes in the camp to come here as soon as possible to discuss matters!"
Then, Bagan took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down his emotions. While waiting for Su He, he kept comforting himself: "Impossible! There is no way that Su He and Yasida have suffered a defeat! We, the Mongolian warriors, are the most brave and there is no way we will be defeated by the cowardly Han people..."
While Bagan was comforting himself, Su He had already hurriedly entered the handsome tent.
I saw that Su He was in a state of embarrassment at this time, with disheveled hair, tattered shirt, and blood stains all over his body. His expression was full of panic and pain. After entering the commander's tent, he "plopped" and knelt in front of Bagan, crying. : "Lord Bagan, when the villain and the two leaders Yasida and Amul rushed to rescue the leader Gugen of Zhenning Acropolis, because the leader Yasida insisted on going his own way and pursued speed, he failed to carefully check the way forward, and finally ended up in the Xiaochuan River. The area was surrounded by tens of thousands of Han troops and suffered a huge defeat. Both leaders Yasida and Amul died in battle. The villain also fought desperately to break through the encirclement, but only about 1,500 people were left. Soldiers, all the remaining soldiers were lost on the battlefield of Xiaochuan River..."
Su He's cry completely shattered the luck in Bagan's heart. All the ominous premonitions came true at this moment!
As Su He finished speaking, Baggen suddenly felt like the world was spinning. He felt that the general trend of the battle had gradually deviated from him!
The war situation has developed to this point. There has been no progress in the war in Jiezhou City. The Mongolian coalition forces have suffered successive losses, and the major Han military towns have shown faint signs of joint operations. For Bagan, the most important thing at the moment is His top priority is no longer to find a way to break through Jiezhou City and plunder grain and slaves, but to lead the remaining Mongolian coalition forces safely back to the Mongolian grasslands!
*
Among the Mongolian coalition camps, two tents are the most conspicuous.
One is Bagan's camp, and the other is Qiegemu's camp.
Since the Junggar Khanate and the Mongolian right-wing tribes formed the Mongolian coalition, Qigmu, as the representative of the Mongolian right-wing tribes, has been competing with Bagan for the limelight everywhere, and he is unwilling to be compared to Bagan in anything.
Therefore, the camp where Qie Gemu lived was not inferior to Bagan's handsome tent at all. Not only was it the same area as Bagan's handsome tent, but it was even better in terms of luxury and comfort!
But at this time, this luxurious and comfortable tent was filled with the smell of blood.
Yesterday, because Bogen suspected that Wang Quan and Wang Ying were spies arranged by the Han people, they became prisoners, and Qigemu took the opportunity to gain the power to interrogate them.
Wang Quan's betrayal of the Ordos tribe and his defection to Bagan was considered a great shame by Qiegemu. After obtaining the power to interrogate Wang Quan, it was a great opportunity to vent his resentment. That night, he used various methods to Wang Quan and Wang Ying were tortured severely.
That night, after the Mongolian coalition troops retreated, Bagan hurriedly returned to his camp to think about ways to break the city. Qigemu also hurriedly returned to his camp and couldn't wait to use various torture instruments to continue to torture Wang Quan. and Wang Ying.
"Master Qiegemu, the villain really wholeheartedly surrendered to the Mongolian coalition. He is definitely not a spy of the Han court! Master Qiegemu, you know that the villain's family was destroyed by the Han imperial envoy Zhao Junchen, and the villain and The Han court has an sworn hatred, and there is absolutely no way a villain could betray the Mongolian coalition! ...No! No! No! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"
In Qiegemu's tent, Wang Quan and Wang Ying were trapped on wooden stakes, suffering torture and abuse from Qiegemu.
After all, Wang Ying was born in the frontier army, and his performance was relatively tough. When he was tortured and abused in various ways, he could still hold on without losing his temper. But Wang Quan was a businessman after all, and he had always been pampered. How could he do that? Bear this pain? Every time he was tortured, he cried and screamed, behaved extremely badly, and even became incontinent.
At this time, under Qi Gemu's signal, a Mongolian guard stabbed Wang Quan's fingertips with several bamboo sticks, completely ignoring Wang Quan's cries of injustice and begging for mercy.
In the end, all Wang Quan's cries of injustice and begging for mercy turned into a shrill scream!
Qi Gemu, on the other hand, was half lying on a chair covered with fur, watching Wang Quan's cries and screams with interest, his eyes flashing with pleasure.
After the torture was over, Qi Gemu sat up slightly, stared at Wang Quan, and sneered: "Oh? You said you didn't betray the Mongolian coalition? To be honest, I don't believe you are Han either. Spy, your Wang family has an old friendship with our Ordos tribe. I still don’t know your details? You have no ability to be a spy... But even if you didn’t betray the Mongolian coalition, you did betray the Ordos tribe. ! Our Ordos troops treated you well, but you dared to defect to Bagan without even saying hello, and let Bagan take the opportunity to humiliate me? Do you know how embarrassed I was at that time?... Ha, Unexpected, right? Bagan abandoned you in the end, and you fell into my hands! Do you think I should take the opportunity to settle accounts with you? "
At this time, Wang Quan had been tortured to the point of dying. After hearing Qiegemu's words, he couldn't help but show despair and begged for mercy again: "Master Qiegemu, I was only eager for revenge at the time, and I did not intend to betray the Ordos tribe. You, your master There are a lot of them, please spare me this time, I will repay you by working as a cow or a horse in the future... I am still useful, I can raise food for the Ordos tribe..."
Qi Gemu sneered: "Repent? It's too late!"
While speaking, Qigemu waved his hand to the Mongolian warriors in the tent to continue the torture.
At this moment, a Mongolian guard suddenly entered the camp and walked to Qigemu's side. He whispered a few words to Qigemu.
Then, he saw Qi Gemu's expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in shock: "What did you say? The Gansu military town sent troops to support Jiezhou City? The army of Su He and Amul supporting Gu Gen was defeated and almost completely destroyed? How can it be!"
Following Qigemu's exclamation, Wang Ying, who was about to be tortured, suddenly trembled slightly and slowly raised his head to look at Qigemu, his eyes flashing.
