Zhao Tai, surrounded by the generals, left the tent and came to a high place in the camp.

At this time, in the west of the camp, nearly ten thousand Chu troops rushed into Hengjian Mountain with shouts, intending to eliminate the Mongolian army in one fell swoop and take the lead.

In the Chu army's camp, Shi Songzhi watched the charging Chu soldiers and secretly cheered for his men.

Although the Song army defeated the Mongolian army in the Battle of Chuzhou, Shi Songzhi did not gain any merit.

In that battle, he was defeated first and lost the banner, which disgraced him.

The Chu soldiers came all the way to accomplish great feats, but all their great achievements were taken away by the Qi army. He also made a big show of his face, which made Shi Songzhi extremely depressed.

Now the remnant Mongolian troops entered Hengjian Mountain in a hurry, allowing him to see the opportunity. After Shi Songzhi arrived, without consulting anyone, he let the Chu army attack first, intending to defeat the Mongols first and gain the first victory.

At this time, Shi Songzhi was wearing official robes and riding a war horse, watching the Chu army's actions.

The great victory in Chuzhou greatly boosted the morale of the Song army, including the Chu army.

The soldiers of the Chu army pursued them all the way from Chuzhou and launched an attack before they had time to rest.

At this time, all the generals of the Chu army were very excited, but Meng Gong said: "My lord! The soldiers are very tired from continuous fighting. We are attacking rashly. Do you want to send someone to contact other ministries and launch an attack together?"

Shi Songzhi glanced at Meng Gong and said, "Hu Tu! The Mongolian army suffered a disastrous defeat and its morale is low. This is the time when our army is avenging its past humiliation. How can we give the credit to others? You don't need to say more, I am doing this for Jing."

The officers and soldiers of Hu also serve the officials and the imperial court!"

At this time, the Chu troops rushed towards Hengjian Mountain. The Mongolian troops in the mountains had recovered some strength after resting for most of the day.

When they saw that they were surrounded by the Song Army, and then saw the Song Army launching an attack, they had the idea of ​​​​destroying the situation.

Even if Mongol warriors fail, they will not stand like sheep and let the enemy chop them down.

As soon as Zhao Tai left his tent, he heard a low and strange sound suddenly coming from Hengjian Mountain.

"Damn it, Kublai Khan is calling Mai!" Zhao Tai was surprised when he heard this.

The 30,000 remaining Mongolian soldiers on the mountain shouted in despair, and their voices gathered together like ghosts.

Zhao Tai heard that during the Mongolian army's western expedition, whenever they encountered an enemy, they would shout "Mai" together. The sound they made could boost their own morale and frighten the enemy, who mistakenly thought that these people from the east were from the devil.

cavalry.

In the Hengjian Mountains, the shouts of the Mongols echoed in the air for more than ten miles, making the attacking Chu army feel frightened.

When the soldiers of Chu entered the forest, they heard the shouting of wheat, and saw the birds flying in the forest, and the ferocious beasts responded, with hesitation and fear on their faces.

For a time, the Chu soldiers with high morale became cautious after entering the mountains and forests. They moved forward cautiously, but at this moment, a sharp arrow struck, hitting the front of the Chu soldiers directly in front of their faces, and then countless sharp arrows shot through the forest.

"Swish" shot.

The Qi army and the Mongolian army fought many times, and it was common for the Mongolian army to like to scream and scream before a battle, but the Chu army had never seen such a scene.

Li Fen said: "Your Majesty, the Chu army has begun to attack, let's take action too."

Zhao Tai did have this idea when he left the tent, but he heard the shouts of the Mongolian troops on the mountain and felt the despair and determination in them, so he shook his head, "The Chu soldiers can't attack, I'm afraid they will be defeated! The Tiger Cavalry Battalion hurry over.

, if the Mongolian army pursues them down the mountain, intercept them immediately and help the Chu army stabilize their position."

Wanyan Chenghu clasped his fists and left quickly. Not long after, a battalion of three thousand tiger cavalry galloped past and stopped at the foot of the mountain.

The Mongolian army went up the mountain first and had rested for most of the day. However, the Chu army arrived in a hurry, and the soldiers were actually even more tired than the Mongolian army.

Rabbits bite people when they are anxious, let alone the fierce Mongolian cavalry.

As expected, the Chu soldiers who entered the mountain were shot with bows and arrows by the Mongolian army, and with a condescending charge, they were driven out of Hengjian Mountain by the Mongolian army.

The Chu army withdrew hastily, and the Mongolian army, which was determined to die, chased them out. Shi Song's face turned pale when he saw it.

The Mongolian Communists were afraid of the Mongolian cavalry and took advantage of the situation to attack the Chinese army. They quickly shouted: "Protect your husband and retreat to the camp!"

"Kill!" When Wanyan Chenghu saw the Mongolian army chasing down the mountain, he immediately shouted and led three thousand cavalry to rush over and intercept them.

On the top of the mountain, Kublai Khan saw the Qi army's tiger cavalry camp coming to intercept, so he immediately ordered people to blow the horn and withdraw his troops back to the mountain.

The battle lasted very short. The Chu army attacked in a hurry and retreated in a hurry. There was nothing to talk about.

In fact, not only the Chu army, but also the Song army that had just arrived at the foot of Hengjian Mountain all wanted to make achievements.

Now seeing the Chu army's defeat, all the ministries that were originally eager to try have stopped.

When Zhao Tai saw that the battle was over, he immediately turned around and said, "Go back to camp!"

The battle came and went quickly. Seeing that the Chu army was defeated and returned to the camp, and the Mongolian army retreated up the mountain, Zhao Tai led everyone back to their tent.

The generals of the Qi army cast a contemptuous look in the direction of the Chu army and went back to continue eating.

In the big tent, the generals inevitably made fun of what had just happened, and their words were quite contemptuous and ridiculing to the Chu army.

Seeing this, Wang Bin stroked his beard and smiled.

This was the case with the Song Army. Sometimes they thought they were very good, but in the end they were embarrassed in front of outsiders, allowing outsiders to see the weakness of the Song Army.

After the Jin army destroyed the Liao Dynasty, they quickly went south to attack the Song Dynasty. This was because the Song army suffered a disastrous defeat when they attacked the Liao Dynasty.

Zhao Tai couldn't help asking: "Military advisor, why are you laughing?"

Wang Bin shook his head and said quickly: "Your Majesty, did I laugh?"

When Zhao Tai saw his denial, he did not go into details. Instead, he said to the generals who were making fun of the Chu army: "They are all friendly troops. You must not make fun of them. If this reaches the ears of the Chu army, I am afraid that the disharmony between the two armies will affect the following."

fighting!"

Li Fen didn't take it seriously, "The Tatars suffered a disastrous defeat and their morale was low. The Chu soldiers' arrival will undoubtedly dampen the spirit of our army and increase the arrogance of the Tatars."

Zhao Taide admitted this, "There are many troops and horses surrounding the siege at the moment, but they are not under each other's control, and the command is chaotic. This is not conducive to combat. When Prime Minister Zhao comes, I will discuss with him and come up with a solution to prevent each department from competing for credit.

Acting without authorization.”

On the other side, Shi Songzhi lost face again and became even more depressed.

At this time, in the camp of the Chu army, Shi Songzhi sat with a dark face, while Jiang Wanzai, Meng Gong and other generals stood with sullen faces.

"My lord, don't chase after the poor enemy. The Mongolian army is surrounded by groups, and everyone has a death wish. Our army's reckless attack will only increase casualties." Jiang Wanzai looked dissatisfied.

Shi Songzhi had his own difficulties and worries. He said in a deep voice: "Zijiu, do you think I don't know?"

Jiang Wanzai said: "Now that the Mongolian army is surrounding us from the north, it is difficult to escape even if we don't have wings. Why is my husband so anxious for a while?"

Shi Songzhi waved his hand and dismissed everyone, leaving only Jiang Wanzai, Meng Gong and a few others, "Because this credit cannot be given to King Linyi. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, has there been such a clan king with military power? You guys!

I only know how to fight, but I don't understand politics. If the King of Linyi achieves this great feat, how can the court control him?"

After hearing this, Meng Gong and Jiang Wanzai understood Shi Songzhi's concerns. Although they disagreed, they did not dare to say anything.

Because political correctness in the Song Dynasty was to restrict military generals and avoid separatist feudal towns and the recurrence of yellow robes.

If you, as a military general of the Song Dynasty, dare to question this, your political future will be over.

Officials and civil servants will not allow such a person to continue to lead the army. He will definitely be suppressed and abandoned.

Jiang Wanzai sighed helplessly, "Today's attack failed, the morale of our army was frustrated, but it only fueled the arrogance of the Mongolian army. King Linyi's soldiers and horses were strong, and our army was rescued by him in Chuzhou. The Qi army gained the most. In the battle of Chuzhou, Linyi

The king's meritorious service is extremely great. Now the Qi army is leading the siege. Is it possible that the Qi army should not be allowed to perform meritorious service just to be on guard?"
