At this time, in addition to the Mongolian army of the Western Expedition, the elite troops under Wo Kuotai's tent gathered in Hebei, and the elites of Qi State also came out.
In this battle, judging from the number of troops participating in the battle, it is known that once the battle begins, it will be an elite showdown.
】
The significance and scale of this battle will be no less than the battle of Xiangji Temple and no less than the Jiahe Battle of Liang and Jin Dynasties.
The Qi army will be discovered by the Mongolian army once they get out of the enemy's mouth. The key to whether the battle can start is whether the Qi army can quickly rush in front of the Mongolian army.
Thirty miles away, the Mongolian cavalry harassed and delayed the Qi army's advance, enough for Wokuotai to withdraw from the south bank to the north bank.
If Wokuotai chooses to retreat and Zhao Tai does not follow him, then Zhao Tai's plan will fail.
This is not only a failure of Hebei's counterattack strategy, but also because Zhao Tai did not immediately return to defend Shandong and southern Hebei. It also left the Qi army without enough time to rearrange the defense line to defend against the Mongolian army's Western Expedition, leading to the complete collapse of the Qi state. collapse.
Li Fen said: "When Li Cunxu relieved the siege of Youzhou, he asked the Jin soldiers to hold antlers and march in formation. When the Khitan cavalry approached, they shot them with strong bows and crossbows. I think we can follow suit!"
Zhang Judao: "Thirty miles away, more than ten miles ahead, the Mongolian army can't react in time, so we can move forward at full speed. If the Mongolian army comes to interfere from behind, we can ignore casualties and form a forward attack. As long as we approach the Mongolian camp, Wokuotai is known as one hundred thousand People and horses, it’s not that easy for the Mongolian army to retreat.”
Zhao Tai nodded heavily, stood up, and looked around the generals solemnly, "Everyone, take revenge and avenge your shame in this battle!"
Since Jingkang, the people of the Central Plains have been enslaved by barbarians many times.
Everyone thought that the barbarians treated their own land as their vegetable garden. They came here whenever they wanted and demanded excessively. They also thought that if they did not go as they wanted, they would be beaten, scolded and slaughtered by the barbarians. Everyone's heart was burning. Start a flame.
Li Fen clenched his fists, "Your Majesty, we will win this battle!"
Zhao Tai raised his arms and said: "Everyone, the lord of the Central Plains, whether he is Han or Hu, it depends on this battle."
Dozens of generals around them raised their arms and fists in unison, "We must win!"
The Qi army rested in the valley, waiting for the stragglers. At the same time, they cut down branches to make antlers in preparation for the war.
Early the next morning, at dawn, in the Mongolian army camp outside Daomakou, the Mongolian soldiers were preparing breakfast as usual.
At this time, in the winding valley, densely packed Qi soldiers were walking along the valley. The soldiers walking at the front suddenly found that the front became open and a plain appeared.
In the Mongolian camp, the busy Mongolian soldiers were shocked to find a crowd of people in the valley.
The Qi army's spears rose and fell, and the crowds of people flowed outward like a flood from the valley.
The Mongolian army never thought that the Qi army would come out of the Taihang Mountains. Wokuotai was just a routine matter and put a thousand men on guard at the entrance to the horse.
At this time, the Mongolian troops in the camp looked at the Qi troops descending from the sky, and stood up in shock one by one, looking at the Qi troops who appeared with disbelief on their faces.
They looked far into the distance and saw the Qi army coming out of the valley and quickly reorganizing their formation. At the same time, a steady stream of Qi soldiers were still pouring out of the mountain pass.
The Mongolian soldiers were stunned. Looking at this posture, there were at least tens of thousands of people.
Where did the Qi army come from? Didn't the elite Qi army go south to defend Shandong?
The Mongolian troops in the camp were extremely horrified. Suddenly someone pointed at a large banner and said in horror: "Look at that large banner, it's Zhao Tai!"
Thousands of Mongolian households looked from a distance and saw a large banner held high among the banners.
That flag was very familiar to the Mongolian soldiers. It was the banner of King Qi that had caused them countless nightmares.
"It's Zhao Tai! It's Zhao Tai!"
"King Qi is here!"
In the Mongolian camp, the soldiers screamed and were shocked.
At this time, outside the valley, among the Qi troops that had just formed, thousands of soldiers and horses marched directly towards the Mongolian camp. There were nearly a thousand soldiers in the Mongolian camp. Seeing the magical soldiers descending from the sky, the Qi army had no fighting spirit. In an instant, Then they dispersed.
Outside Langshan City, in the Mongolian army camp, Wo Kuotai was listening to his subordinates' report on the situation of the defenders fighting trapped animals in Langshan City.
After Wuxian led his troops to break through and was blocked by the Mongolian army, Wokuotai had been paying attention to the movements in Langshan City these days, and was on guard against Wuxian breaking out again.
After all, Wokuotai had besieged Langshan for half a year, and the duck had been cooked. How could he let the duck fly?
On the other hand, the Western Expeditionary Army was about to enter the Central Plains, and Wokuotai did not want to see that all the credit for the destruction of Qi would be taken by the Western Expeditionary Army.
In order to gain enough achievements when the Western Expeditionary Army launches an attack, Wo Kuotai needs to deal with Wuxian as soon as possible.
If the Western Expeditionary Army invades Shandong, outflanks Hebei, and kills all directions, and he has not yet eliminated Wuxian, it will be a big blow to Wo Kuotai and will undoubtedly affect his majesty.
In the big tent, Wo Kuotai asked: "Have Wu Xian made any new moves in the past two days?"
Subotai smiled and said: "After the last breakout failed, Wu Xian retreated into the city and did not dare to come out again."
Wo Kuotai pondered: "How is the morale of the defenders in the city?"
Subotai said: "The Great Khan asked people to shout, and it had an effect. The morale of the troops in the city has been shaken. Last night, some soldiers from Qi fell into the city and came out to surrender. I learned from them that Wuxian became mentally depressed after his failure to break through. , drinking all day long, I must be in despair."
A smile appeared on Wokuotai's face when he heard this, "Haha~ Okay! In this case, I can prepare to attack the city and capture Langshan in one fell swoop."
After hearing the words, all the generals in the tent immediately called for battle. Shi Tianze knelt down and said: "Great Khan, please let me make the decision!"
Wokuotai looked at him and couldn't help asking: "Why did Shi Wanhu say this?"
Shi Tianze was not among those who were mobilized for this siege of Langshan. Recently, he heard that the Western Expeditionary Army was about to arrive in the Central Plains, and that Zhao Tai would be attacked from both sides by the Mongolian army. He believed that the Mongolian army had a great chance of winning, so he used it to escort food to Wokuotai. If you have a chance, come over and do some fighting.
Shi Tianze said: "My father was killed by Wu Xian. Please give me a chance to lead my troops to attack the city and kill Wu Xian with my own hands to avenge my father!"
Shi Tianze also said this in front of Kublai Khan, but it was a mistake that time. But this time Shi Tianze made careful calculations and felt that the Mongolian army had a great advantage and would definitely succeed.
When Wuxian was forced to surrender to Mongolia in Zhending, King Muhuali of Taishi made his general Shi Tianni the marshal of the Hebei West Road Army and Horses Command, and made Wuxian his deputy. But who knew that Wuxian killed Shi Tianni? Rebellion returns money.
Because of this story, Wuxian was one of the nine princes of the Jin Kingdom who fought to the last moment but did not surrender to Mongolia.
Wo Kuotai knew very well about Wuxian killing Shi Tianni. He couldn't help but help Shi Tianze and said in a deep voice: "Wuxian doesn't know the current affairs and has a hatred of the country and family with you. I will give you this opportunity to take revenge." .”
Shi Tianze was immediately overjoyed and said, "I thank the Khan for this."
A group of generals around them couldn't help but cursed Shi Tianze for being cunning when they saw that Shi Tianze had taken away the plan to attack the city.
They had been besieging this Langshan City for half a year, and it was almost chewed up by them. They could only eat it in their mouths, but the final credit was going to Shi Tianze, and everyone couldn't help but feel dissatisfied.
At this time, Wokuotai was about to discuss with the generals and come up with a plan to attack the city. There was a commotion outside the tent. A guard came in with the tent and reported urgently, "Great Khan, there is a beacon warning to the west!"
"What?" Wo Kuotai was shocked when he heard this.
At that moment, everyone hurried out of the camp and saw a column of smoke rising into the sky in the direction of the horse's mouth to the west.
