Chapter 727 (1/2)
Wuma Huacai's strategic deployment, according to the meaning of old general Zhao, biased towards the Mongolian army who was about to arrive at the closed dock, because the mountain on the left side of the closed dock was a dead end, and only three-way containment was needed to catch turtles in a jar.
Therefore, Wu Mahua divided Zhao Jiajun into three.
With 50000 troops, Zhao Xingwen led 60000 troops to encircle the enemy from behind and cut off his retreat. Old general Zhao was responsible for the heavy task and led 80000 troops to directly press in and try to destroy them.
Originally, the plan went smoothly. The Mongolian army marched at full speed and wanted to reach the closed dock as soon as possible. Zhao Jiajun did not dare to enter the city, but the Mongolian army did not have this concern.
When the dock was closed, the Scouts of the Mongolian army first encountered the trap buried by Wu Mahua early in the morning. The scouts who had not returned for a long time aroused the vigilance of the Mongolian army and sent a small team of troops to investigate. Although the team was in danger, one person sent a signal of danger on the occasion of death, which attracted the attention of the Mongolian army commander Bayar.
Bayar is surrounded by a think tank named Bu rigude.
He has studied the battles between the Mongols and the state of Xiao over the years, especially the wars in which Gu Shiqing and Xia Weimou participated.
He keenly judged that it was not appropriate to venture forward at this time, which prevented the Mongolian army from moving forward. He even proposed to retreat to the last city KANGYI, take root and defend the city, and wait for Shi Jiajun to come.
If there is any danger to wade, leave it to their own people in the state of Xiao. Retreating is the best way for the Mongols to preserve their combat power. It doesn't matter if they have to close the dock all the way.
It is also because of the decision of Bu riguide that the trap of Wuma Huacai has not been brought into full play, although it has benefited.
And because Bayar listened to the suggestions of Bu rigude, Zhao Xingwen had to appear in advance to prevent the Mongolian army from retreating, and the old general Zhao had to wave his army.
However, Wu Mahua, who had originally planned to wait until the Mongolian army forward came under attack, saw that the horns of the other two routes had sounded and the smoke had risen, so he had to lead the army to avoid the trap he had laid and pursue.
According to the plan, at the time of the war, the vanguard of the Mongolian army had already been hurt and suffered from the enemy. Then, General Zhao was leading the army, and the battle had gained the upper hand in terms of morale and military strength.
However, due to the retreat of Bu RI Gude, Zhao Xingwen did not want to miss the opportunity. At present, the two armies meet in advance, but General Zhao did not take the lead.
In addition, the Mongolian army timely attacked Zhao Xingwen's troops and horses. If there were not great pressure from old general Zhao on the flank, the broken team would have been unable to carry it.
However, once the war starts, neither side has a way back.
Wu Mahua saw through the idea of the Mongolian army. If they were allowed to smoothly return to the KANGYI city and occupy the advantage of guarding the city, they only need to spend Shi Jiajun to counter attack.
Even if Bu RI Gude didn't know Wu Ma Huacai's mind at first, he looked at the attack on three sides, and Zhao Jiajun came fiercely. Now he knows that this is not a feint, but a real heart of annihilation.
If there is no way out, the situation of the Mongolian army will be in jeopardy once the Zhao family army forms a contraction trend.
However, although Zhao Xingwen led only 60000 troops, the elite army of the Mongolian army failed to make a surprise attack after several attempts, and the army could not press it with all its strength. From time to time, the direction and flanks on the other side of the fortress suddenly stabbed the middle strength of the Mongolian Army, which made the Mongolian army very annoyed.
In the military account after nightfall, bu rigude, who was still thinking hard about Countermeasures in front of the sand table, suddenly had a plan.
Attached to Bayar's side whispered a few words. Bayar's eyes were shining. Then he sent a messenger to the Mongolian army left in KANGYI city.
Spring is chilly and cool.
