Zhao Tai didn't know that the little girl he helped fell into the clutches of the devil and was arrested by Shi Tianze.
At this time, he followed the grain escort team towards Sanfeng Mountain. Along the way, the villages were ruined, corpses were left on the road, and wild dogs were barking.
During the movement of the transport team, almost no one could be seen. The people were either massacred or hid in the mountains and forests. They did not encounter the Jin army attack.
Zhao Tai followed the team into Junzhou. He considered escaping on the way, but considering that Nanjing Road of the Jin Kingdom was in a war zone, if the deserter was caught by the Mongols and wanted to behead him, and if the soldiers and civilians of the Jin Kingdom bumped into him, they might also kill him as a traitor. , so Zhao Tai hesitated.
In addition, the Mongolian army just forcibly borrowed a road from the Southern Song Dynasty and fell into the hands of the Song soldiers. I am afraid there will be no good fruits.
The identity of the Mongolian army made Zhao Tai very distressed. Even Xin Qiji was not reused in the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhao Tai knew that he could not continue to stay in the Mongolian camp, otherwise once the war between Mongolia and Song Dynasty started, he would be branded as a traitor and it would be difficult for him to be punished. Accepted by the Southern Song Dynasty.
Zhao Tai originally wanted to make some money, so he quietly left the Mongolian army, then changed his identity, changed his appearance, and erased his experience of serving in the Mongolian army in order to go to the Southern Song Dynasty for development. However, he gave all the money he found to the little girl , so he could only stay in the Mongolian camp temporarily.
Now that he couldn't escape, Zhao Tai thought of the battle of Sanfeng Mountain ahead on the road.
In this battle, the Jin Kingdom will lose 150,000 troops. Commander Wanyan Heda and the famous Jin general Wanyan Chen Monk, who defeated Chi Laowen's 8,000 cavalry with 400 cavalry, will all fall. The Jin Kingdom will never be able to make a comeback. Hope, will perish in less than two years.
Zhao Tai looked at the escorted grain and wondered if he could change the outcome of the battle at Sanfeng Mountain if he destroyed this batch of grain.
After seeing the people guarding Dengzhou being brutally killed by butcher's knife, Zhao Tai's mentality changed.
After all, helping the Jin Kingdom now is equivalent to helping the Southern Song Dynasty, which is equivalent to saving the Han people in the south.
Looking at the escort team, Zhao Tai rejected this idea again. He had no helpers, and he would be hacked to death by destroying one or two carts at most.
While Zhao Tai was thinking hard about a way out, three hills appeared in the distance, and there were faint sounds of killing.
"Sanfeng Mountain is here, everyone, please be vigilant and pay attention!" Qianhu Shi Waquan raised his spear on his horse and shouted loudly.
The Han soldiers escorting the supplies immediately strung their bows and arrows, unsheathed their swords, and several Mongolian sentries galloped out to investigate the situation ahead.
Amidst the shouts of death, the transport team slowly approached the battlefield despite the wind and snow. When they climbed over a hill, a magnificent war scene finally appeared in front of everyone.
Zhao Tai drove the cart. After climbing over the hill, his vision suddenly broadened. On the snow-white land, two armies were engaged in a fate-related battle amidst the howling cold wind and heavy snow. And a life and death showdown.
Zhao Tai couldn't help but stop. He looked at the battlefield and saw more than 100,000 Jin troops huddled together in a valley. Large groups of Mongolian cavalry were attacking the Jin troops from top to bottom. Both sides of the valley There were also Mongolian cavalry galloping on horseback, shooting a hail of arrows at the Jin army formation from time to time.
On the way back to Kaifeng, the Jin army was harassed by three thousand Mongolian troops sent by Torre and was unable to advance quickly. After they found out that Torre was stationed at Sanfeng Mountain, they took the initiative to come for a decisive battle.
At first, the Jin army had the advantage. They defeated Torre and forced the Mongols into Jingou and besieged them. However, they did not want heavy snowfall and Torre took the opportunity to stand out. At this time, 10,000 reinforcements sent by Wo Kuotai rushed to Sanfeng Mountain. The 150,000 Jin army was surrounded by the Mongolian army in Jingou.
Zhao Tai stared at the battlefield in the distance, watching the Jin army being shot by the Mongols. People kept falling to the ground and were beaten without the ability to fight back. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Oh, the Jin Kingdom is almost over, and the Southern Song Dynasty will be next." !”
"Zhao Tai, what's going on with you kid lately?" Shi Wanquan's scolding voice sounded behind him, "Why don't you move forward quickly? What are you doing here? Are you looking for death?"
Shi Wanquan relied on his senior official rank and his family status to target Zhao Tai when he found an opportunity.
Zhao Tai was not in the mood to meet him now. Hearing the words, he quickly harnessed his horse and followed the Mongolian cavalry who came to pick him up and check, and transported the baggage to a mountain not far from the battlefield.
The cart stopped and the soldiers carried supplies. Zhao Tai dismounted and continued to observe the battlefield.
Only then did he realize that the Mongols were not using all their strength, and half of them were resting on the outside.
The tow mines divided the Mongolian cavalry into two groups. One group surrounded the Jin army and attacked and fired, while the other group lit a bonfire and set up an iron pot. After eating and drinking, they went on the field to replace the other Mongolian army.
The two groups of people alternated with each other and had tortured Jin Bing for most of the day.
The 150,000 Jin troops on the battlefield were on the verge of collapse under the constant fire and harassment of the Mongols.
Zhao Tai looked at the broken Jin army flags whistling in the freezing cold wind, and at the 150,000 hungry and cold Jin soldiers, standing in the wind and snow, making the final resistance.
In their ranks, there were Jurchens, Khitans, Bohai people, and Han people. Facing the cold wind and the rain of arrows from the Mongolian army, they gritted their teeth and held on with their weapons.
The Mongolian army was brutal, leaving no chickens or dogs behind wherever it passed. In many places in the north, they were killed until there was no cockcrow for thousands of miles.
The Jin army has a strong will to fight. If they don't fight hard, they will be killed by the Mongolian army. However, even if they want to fight, the Mongols will not give them a chance.
Since they met the Mongols, the Jin army formed a formation to meet the enemy, and the Mongols disappeared. As soon as the Jin army buried their pots to make rice and prepared to rest, the Mongolian cavalry came galloping from all directions.
After a few days, the Jin army was tired and hungry. Originally, they surrounded the Mongolian army and took the initiative for a while. However, because the soldiers were tired, the general decided to rest for a night and wait until the next day to annihilate the Mongolian army.
Unexpectedly, heavy snow fell in the middle of the night, causing the situation to reverse instantly. The Mongolian soldiers not only broke out of the encirclement, but also surrounded them with reinforcements.
In the wind and snow, some of the hungry and exhausted Jin soldiers had not eaten for three days. Now after four more hours of fighting, the soldiers could no longer draw their bows or raise their weapons.
Inside the military formation, some of the Jin soldiers who were holding on were freezing to death, starving to death, and falling to the ground.
Outside the military formation, a large number of Jin soldiers fell to the ground like mowing grass under the rain of arrows fired by the Mongols.
At this time, the Mongols had not yet begun their formal attack, and an atmosphere of despair had spread among the Jin army. Anyone could see that their defeat was certain.
Zhao Tai is still an outsider in the military, but he saw that all the Jin soldiers were killed, but the Mongols had no losses, and he could tell that the Jin army was in ruins.
This made him a little anxious. Once the 150,000 Jin army was defeated, the Jin country would have no soldiers.
"The Kingdom of Jin cannot be defeated like this! For the people of Song Kingdom, I must prevent the Mongolian army from defeating the Jin army!" Zhao Tai stared at the battlefield and tightened his grip on the handle of the knife.
"Zhao Tai, kill a few sheep and send them to the prince!" Shi Wanquan came over and gave casual instructions after meeting with a thousand Mongolian households.
The transport team traveled all the way and everyone was very tired. Shi Wanquan refused to let others go, obviously leaving the dirty work to Zhao Tai.
Zhao Tai heard the order and looked at a large flag erected on the hillside in the distance, where the Chinese army was dragging mines.
"Yes!" Zhao Tai retracted his thoughts and agreed with clasped fists. When Shi Wanquan walked away, he had a bold plan in mind.
Zhao Tai couldn't help but touch the arsenic hidden in his chest. It was originally prepared for Shi Wanquan, but now he had an opportunity in front of him, which was to poison Tuo Lei.
