Chapter 236 Divide up again

After Zhao Tai arrived at Hulao Pass, he immediately performed another drama in front of the pass, in which Zhao Xianggong borrowed the divine thunder.

The Mongolian troops in Hulao Gate had never seen this scene before, and they were so frightened that they immediately reported it to their home.

Guo Dehai and Subutai reported the news one after another, allowing Ogedai to believe it even if he didn't believe it.

This made Wo Kuotai extremely shocked. He thought about how Zhao Tai poisoned Tuo Lei and defeated the Mongolian army one after another, which made him feel a little shaken.

This seems outrageous, but it is true that Zhengzhou fell and Subotai asked for help.

Wo Kuotai began to feel panic in his heart. Could it be that Zhao Tai really knows magic?

At this time, the defenders' persistence in Luoyang City had reached its limit.

In more than a month of offensive and defensive battles, twenty-three out of ten Luoyang defenders were killed, and the rest were injured and could no longer hold on to the city.

After receiving the letter from Zhao Tai, Monk Chen kept looking for opportunities to break out of the encirclement, but there were too many Mongolian troops outside the city, so he did not find a suitable opportunity.

Today, the Mongols attacked very fiercely and once occupied a section of the city wall, making Monk Chen realize that Luoyang could not be defended.

If we persist, the more than 10,000 golden soldiers remaining in the city will be completely wiped out.

Therefore, after discussing with his subordinates, Monk Chen decided to risk a breakout.

Monk Chen selected a thousand soldiers from the army to serve as the vanguard, responsible for opening gaps and blocking the pursuing troops.

The Mongolian troops gathered outside the city. After receiving this mission, they almost died.

In the Wengcheng, more than a thousand Jin soldiers were sitting and resting. The Huotou Army brought boxes of white flour steamed buns and cooked pork. Monk Chen had nothing to give them now but to give them a full meal.

At this time, the selected soldiers were eating and drinking with steamed buns and broth. The soldiers on the city wall saw them, but they did not envy them.

Because they knew that after eating, these brothers would have to take on the task of opening a gap for the army, and most of them would not be able to leave alive.

Monk Chen stood at the top of the city and looked at the soldiers in the barbican. After selecting these soldiers, they rejected only sons and those with wives and children. They were all young people who had not married.

At this time, Monk Chen was watching the soldiers eating and drinking with a heavy heart, when a voice suddenly sounded from behind him, "Look, another Mongolian army has left."

Monk Chen turned around quickly and subconsciously asked, "Where?"

The soldier at the head of the city pointed outside the city, "The Mongolian army camp, they are heading east."

Monk Chen quickly walked to the city wall, and a group of generals followed him. They looked at the Mongolian army camp from a distance. Someone said excitedly: "Commander, the Mongolian army is heading east."

Monk Chen swallowed his saliva and looked around. Sure enough, in the Mongolian army camp outside the city, a large group of people left the camp and ran towards the east. He didn't know what happened.

"The Mongols have been mobilized again. This must be due to the attraction of reinforcements!" Many golden generals in the city could not hide their excitement. "Could it be that reinforcements are approaching Luoyang?"

Since Monk Chen received Zhao Tai's letter, the Mongolian army outside the city has divided its forces many times.

The first time was when Subotai led troops to reinforce Hulao Pass, and the second time was when 5,000 Mongolian troops returned to support the pass. Now a large number of Mongolian troops are heading east, which made Monk Chen feel excited but also a little worried.

"Yes, this must be a fierce attack by reinforcements, forcing the Mongols to divide their troops!" Monk Chen said solemnly: "I don't know what price they paid to force the Mongolian troops to divide their troops one after another!"

In Monk Chen's view, the reinforcements forced the Mongolian army to divide its troops one after another, and they must have paid a heavy price.

He didn't know that Zhao Tai was pretending to be a fool, thinking that the reinforcements would storm Hulao Pass regardless of casualties, so that Mongolia would divide its troops to reinforce Hulao Pass.

After hearing this, many generals were moved and at the same time felt very heavy.

After some thinking, someone said: "Marshal, the reinforcements are giving their lives in exchange for our chance to break through."

Monk Chen was surrounded by the main force of the Mongolian army in Luoyang. He originally planned to live and die with the city and had no intention of breaking out. However, he did not expect that Zhao Tai and others would be so righteous and Bo Yuntian would come to the rescue. They ignored the strength of the main Mongolian force and took the risk.

Rescue.

The actions of Zhao Tai and others were undoubtedly to save people from the tiger's mouth, to save them, who were quick to eat Mongolia, from the mouth of the main Mongolian force.

Thinking of this, Monk Chen has already made a decision in his heart. He must seize this opportunity and break through in one fell swoop!

"Brothers, as long as we are still in Luoyang, the reinforcements will continue to pay casualties." Monk Chen said solemnly: "We must stand out. Only by standing out can we avoid more sacrifices."

Monk Chen made a decision. If he did not leave, the reinforcements would continue to attack the Mongolian army and prevent the Mongolian army from attacking Luoyang.

In his opinion, the reinforcements must have paid an extremely heavy price in exchange for the Mongols' continuous division of troops.

He couldn't bear the fact that the Jin Dynasty's imperial court was constantly sacrificing reinforcements for him, so he decided to make a desperate move and risk his life to break out of the encirclement.

If he can successfully break through, it will be a good thing. If he fails, he will die outside the city. This way, the reinforcements will know that Luoyang has been lost, and they will not make unnecessary sacrifices.

After listening to Monk Chen's words, many generals looked serious, "We listen to the marshal."

Monk Chen looked outside the city again, staring at the Mongolian army camp not far away. The dense cavalry moved out. Knowing that this was the last chance created by the reinforcements, he ordered in a deep voice, "Okay, at the third watch tonight, the army will

Breakout."

At that moment, Monk Chen arranged for his subordinates to rest, and discussed with only a few of his confidants the specific details of the breakout, deciding who would be the vanguard and who would break up the rear, and burn the food, grass, and equipment in the city.

In order to fight against the Mongols, the Jin army maintained strong walls and clear fields in all important cities along the Guanhe defense line, and had enough food and grass for the army to last three months.

Now more than half of the food in the city has been consumed, and the remaining half cannot fall into the hands of the Mongolian army.

After the arrangements were made, Monk Chen sat at the top of the city and wiped his sword. The large number of Jin soldiers in the urn city could not sleep.

Because they knew that this would be their last battle in Luoyang. Although the Mongols continued to divide their troops, they would definitely prevent them from breaking through.

When the time came to three o'clock, a general came to Monk Chen's side and reminded: "Marshal, the time is up."

Upon hearing this, Monk Chen hung the sword on his waist, took the helmet handed over by the soldier and put it on, and then said in a deep voice: "Go down with the order, soldiers wear armor."

After receiving the military order, a group of auxiliary soldiers immediately entered the Wengcheng and helped the selected soldiers put on heavy armor.

Monk Chen made good friends with Zhao Tai, and Zhao Tai also gave him a batch of Song aid, including thousands of sets of infantry armor.

These armors weigh more than fifty kilograms and have excellent protective properties, but wearing them means that they cannot run fast.

The one thousand soldiers who were selected in the urn city knew very well in their hearts, but they still put on the heavy armor without hesitation.

Monk Chen and other soldiers put on their armor and lined up in the urn city, and then ordered, "Check the equipment."

These thousand dead soldiers skillfully checked the bows and arrows on their backs, the bones or swords hanging on their waists, and touched the big guns in their hands.

Seeing that everything was ready, Monk Chen immediately raised the sword in his hand without any nonsense, and then suddenly waved forward, "Open the city gate!"
