Chapter 248

Wo Kuotai never thought that he could conquer Kaifeng in one go.

This battle to extinguish gold has been going on for more than two months. The Mongolian army has lost many soldiers and horses, and has consumed a lot of food and supplies. It no longer has the conditions to besiege Kaifeng.

But Wokuotai was unwilling to withdraw his troops just like that.

Especially that Zhao Tai, if he couldn't be taught a lesson, he would definitely become more aggressive. I really thought Mongolia couldn't do anything to him.

Now that the main force of the Jin army is concentrated in Kaifeng, there should not be many troops left in the surrounding counties and counties. Wo Kuotai is determined to retaliate and teach Zhao Tai a lesson.

After hearing this, Kublai Khan, Subotai and others were relieved to know that Ogedai was not mad and wanted to attack Kaifeng City. At the same time, they all showed a strong interest in plundering prefectures and counties and retaliating against Zhao Tai.

Kublai Khan said: "Great Khan, please allow me to lead my troops to plunder Zhao Tai's lair and avenge my father. I must take Zhao Tai, and I also know the pain of losing a loved one!"

Wokuotai glanced at him and actually nodded in agreement: "Okay, it's up to you to plunder the prefectures and counties under Zhao Tai's rule, but remember, if you can take it, take it. If you can't attack by force, don't try to be aggressive. I will

I will rest under the city of Kaifeng for a month and keep an eye on the gold thieves in the city for you. You must return within a month and retreat with me."

"Yes!" Kublai Khan saluted immediately.

Wokuotai took one more look at Kaifeng City and then rode back to the camp.

When the Mongolian army was observing Kaifeng, Zhao Tai and others were also at the top of the city, watching the Mongolian army gathered outside the city.

At this time, everyone's faces no longer had the panic when they fled. The Jin army retreated into Kaifeng. Everyone had a night's rest and felt refreshed.

Now they are standing in the majestic Kaifeng City, with the strong city as their support, and with confidence in their hearts, Heda sneered: "I didn't expect that the Mongolian army would still go back when they saw us entering the city. However, looking at the Mongolian army under the city,

It’s only 100,000. It’s just wishful thinking to capture Kaifeng.”

The Jin generals at the top of the city nodded one after another, while Zhao Tai's eyes were fixed on the Mongolian army camp outside the city. Suddenly, he saw a large group of cavalry running out of the camp and heading straight for the city.

At this time, Heda and Pu'a also noticed the Mongolian army's actions. Pu'a frowned and said, "What do the Mongolian soldiers want to do? Is it because they are so angry that they want to use cavalry to attack the city?"

Many golden generals burst into laughter. It was obvious that they had captured Zhengzhou and successfully withdrawn from Hulao Pass, which greatly increased everyone's confidence.

This is the Mongolian cavalry leaving the camp, rushing to the gate of Kaifeng City. Kublai Khan, neatly dressed, reined in his horse just outside the range of the crossbow. Tens of thousands of cavalry behind him immediately stopped behind him.

Kublai Khan looked towards the top of the city. He knew that Zhao Tai must be on the city. He showed a cruel smile and shouted loudly, "Run around the city and let the gold thieves on the city see the majesty of my Mongolian warrior."

He gave the order, then whipped up his whip, the horse neighed, and galloped out.

More than 20,000 cavalry, trampling the ground with ten thousand hooves, galloped around the city wall, showing the Mongol military might to the defenders on the city.

The Jin army on the top of the city saw tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry galloping back and forth in front of them, and felt the trembling caused by the horse's hoofs trampling the earth. They were a little shocked in their hearts, and they all stopped smiling.

Pu'a looked at the yellow dust billowing below the city and frowned, "No matter how powerful the Mongolian cavalry is, they can't ride up to the top of the city."

Heda pretended to be calm, "The Mongols suffered a loss at our hands. They saw us entering Kaifeng and couldn't do anything to us, so they ran back and forth in front of us, wanting to show off their force and regain some face."

Zhao Tai looked at the Mongolian army under the city, but felt a little uneasy in his heart, feeling that it was unlikely that the Mongolian army would be so incompetent and furious.

Just when he was wondering, Kublai Khan, who was galloping back and forth under the city, suddenly reined in his horse again, and then glanced at the head of Kaifeng City, and sneered in his heart, "Zhao Tai, among the golden people, you are the best.

You are so staggered. This time, I will let you know the consequences of offending Mongolia. Sooner or later, I will catch you and cut you into pieces to avenge your father's murder."

"The army will go south, sparing all the prefectures and counties along the way, and follow my king to attack Suzhou and Suining!" Kublai Khan shouted loudly, and immediately turned his horse to the south.

When Zhao Tai on the city saw the Mongolian cavalry galloping majestically for a while, they did not return to the camp to rest, but rolled southward and left Kaifeng. His expression suddenly changed and he exclaimed, "Not good! The Mongols are going to plunder."

Other states and counties.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the city was shocked. Pu A was shocked and said: "Why did Guorui say this!"

In fact, Zhao Tai did not need to explain, everyone present could react quickly, but Zhao Tai still said: "Our main force is gathered in Kaifeng, and the defenses in various places are relatively empty. Wo Kuotai should know that he is temporarily unable to capture Kaifeng, so the main force

Stay under the city and keep an eye on us, and send partial divisions to attack the counties in eastern Henan to destroy eastern Henan and consume our war potential so that we can raise troops to attack next time."

After everyone heard Zhao Tai's words, they quickly understood. Their faces darkened, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Heda could only say: "After entering winter, in order to cope with the Mongolian army's attack, all states and counties implemented a fortification and clearing the country. The Mongolian army sent out partial troops to plunder the states and counties, which may not be successful."

Zhao Tai stood at the top of the city, watching the Mongolian cavalry heading south. He was worried, but there was nothing he could do.

In order to cope with the Mongolian winter offensive, the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Zhao Tai also adopted the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields and spending the winter in the city.

Now Zhao Tai can only hope that the Mongolian army will not go too deep into the south.

At this time, everyone in the city was worried that the Mongolian troops would destroy the eastern Henan area, when another group of people appeared in the Mongolian camp.

This group of cavalry galloped to the city. The leader of the group picked up a human head with a spear and showed it to the city with a proud look.

In the Mongolian camp, Wo Kuotai stared at the city, and the pleasure of revenge in his heart could not be concealed.

"Everyone in the city knows this!" Hundreds of households in the Mongolian army laughed loudly: "This is Monk Chen!"

At the top of Kaifeng City, everyone was shocked and their faces were full of disbelief. Heda and others hurriedly rushed to the edge of the city wall and looked into the distance.

However, the Mongolian army was afraid of the bed crossbows at the top of Kaifeng City and did not dare to get too close, so everyone could not see clearly.

Not long ago, Zhao Tai had people carry Kuoduan's head to demonstrate to the Mongols. He didn't want the Mongols to carry Monk Chen's head to the gates of Kaifeng today.

During this period, the Jin army won successively in Xuzhou and Zhengzhou, and successfully returned to Kaifeng from Hulao Pass. The battle was relatively smooth, so everyone subconsciously thought that they were exerting pressure on the Mongols from the outside and forcing Wo Kuo to

Taiwan's continuous division of troops created conditions for Monk Chen to break through, and Monk Chen would definitely be able to break through successfully.

So now that they saw the Mongolian army carrying Monk Chen's head, everyone was unprepared for a moment, and their hearts felt as if they had been hit hard.
