Seeing this situation, Meng Gong suddenly drew his sword, pointed his finger in the sky, and said loudly: "Commanders of the Chinese army, charge with me."
After that, Meng Gong led the Chinese army with 5,000 troops and suddenly launched an attack on the Tuo Lei Chinese Army.
The Song army's five thousand troops came rolling in like a mountain torrent breaking a dike, and their momentum was extremely majestic.
Tuo Lei was horrified when he saw the sudden change of the Song army. He hurriedly issued an order and ordered Salita to come back quickly to deal with the emergency.
However, Salita had already taken the order and left at this time. He could not be found in such a hurry and could not convey the order to anyone.
Almost at the same moment when Meng Gong launched his desperate charge, there was also a strange movement on Wudu Mountain. Wudu Mountain suddenly roared to the sky, "Kill, kill, kill,"
It turned out that Cao Youwen, who had laid an ambush here in advance and turned into an ambush, launched the attack.
When Cao You heard that he had just seen the banner of Meng Gong's army fighting towards the Mongolian army, he knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had come, so he made a decisive decision and led his 10,000 troops to rush down Wudu Mountain.
At this moment, the ground beneath his feet was shaking. Tuo Lei looked back and was shocked. He didn't expect that there was an ambush hidden on Wudu Mountain. Needless to say, this ambush must belong to the Song Army.
What should I do?
The thunderstorm was in great danger. Once the Song army on Wudu Mountain rushed down, they would have Meng Gong in front of them and an ambush behind them. They would be attacked from both sides, which would be extremely dangerous.
"Fourth Prince, no good, there is an ambush."
The generals around Tuo Lei also saw the strange movement on the mountain, and everyone was shocked. At this moment, their pride suddenly disappeared, and their faces were full of panic and horror.
Any unusual changes that occur on the battlefield are very likely to change the direction of the battle, and the ambush that suddenly rushed down from Wudu Mountain was completely unexpected by the Mongolian army.
They knew that they had been careless today and must have fallen into the Song Army's trap. At this time, their hearts and minds suddenly fell to the bottom, and they became frightened.
After many years of fighting in Tuo Lei, at this moment, he felt panic and fear for the first time in his heart. He knew very well that he was in the territory of the Song Dynasty. Once he was surrounded and fell into a quagmire, his reinforcements would not be able to arrive in a short time. What he would face,
It is very likely that the entire army will be wiped out!
In desperation, Tuo Lei had no choice but to divide his troops, take his 10,000 Chinese troops, and retreat to the east to escape, hoping to avoid the sharp edge of the Song army and avoid getting dumped.
The flag of the Tou Lei Chinese Army was evacuated and disappeared. The morale of the Mongolian army, which was fighting desperately, suddenly dropped sharply. The Song Army took advantage of the situation to overtake and expand the victory.
Meng Gong and Cao Youwen met the two armies. Meng Gong said: "Cao Youwen, you are leading five thousand troops here to help Zhang Zuo. Cao Youwan and Cao Youliang will follow my general to pursue the Mongolian army."
"yes."
The three tigers of the Cao family listened to the order and then acted separately. Meng Gong rode without stopping and led the army to pursue and kill him.
At this time, on the Wudu Mountain battlefield, although the three Mongolian generals Salita, Chi Laowen, and Chahan led no less troops than the Song army, their morale was low because the Chinese army dragging mines had fled.
He lost his fighting spirit and was suppressed and beaten by the Song army.
At this moment, I saw a rumble of horseshoes coming from the south, a burst of dust flying in the air, and more soldiers and horses arriving!
It turned out that Peng Yibin was stationed near Songlinyi. Seeing the emergency situation in Wudu Mountain, he immediately led 10,000 elite troops to come for reinforcements.
This was Meng Gong's plan. Waves of his own troops arrived one after another, which disrupted the morale of the Mongolian army and undermined its morale.
Salita, Chahan, and Chi Laowen saw that the Song army had reinforcements, and they knew that they were heavily surrounded. If they didn't escape, they would be trapped in the quagmire.
In desperation, they had no choice but to turn their horses around, give orders to withdraw their troops, and flee in panic.
The Song army refused to agree, and tens of thousands of troops followed behind to cover up the attack. One after another, the once extremely proud Mongolian soldiers died tragically under the sword of the Song army.
After the Battle of Wudu Mountain, the Song army counted its soldiers and cleaned the battlefield, and found more than 3,200 corpses of the Mongolian army, and more than 1,200 people were seriously injured and captured. Countless war horses, weapons, and armor were seized.
Such a result can be described as a great victory.
However, despite the great victory, the Song Army also suffered heavy casualties. In this battle, the Song Army killed a total of 5,276 people and seriously injured 7,827 people, not counting the minor injuries. It can be said that the entire army was
Either dead or injured.
Despite the heavy casualties, everyone in the Song army was still excited, roaring loudly and excited.
Because they knew that they could achieve such results and win against the Mongolian army, which was extremely rare and could be described as a great victory.
The entire army was immersed in the carnival, but Meng Gong remained calm and collected.
He found Cao Youwen and said to him: "Too Lei is now as expected by the general. He has fled towards Huayang, where Jiang Wanzai's troops are garrisoned, and old General Jiang Hai also arrived quickly with his troops. Tuo Lei
No worries for the rest.
As for the remnants of the Mongolian army such as Chahan, Chi Laowen, and Salita, they would have responded to the Fengzhou soldiers and horses here to block them to prevent the two Mongolian armies from joining forces again.
Now what our army has to do is to cut off its retreat. Cao You heard that you should immediately lead the 3,000-man army and Dashan Pass guard Li Shi to help them retake Dashan Pass. By then, the Mongolian army will no longer be able to escape."
"Yes, General."
After hearing the order, Cao You was very excited. He immediately ordered three thousand men and horses and galloped towards Dashan Pass at night.
At this time, only two thousand Mongolian troops were stationed at Dashan Pass. Before that, Li Shi, the Song army guard at Dashan Pass, had already led five thousand defenders to hide in the nearby mountain city and woods, waiting for orders at any time.
After several days of running around, Cao Youwen arrived at Dashan Pass and got in touch with Li Shi. The two immediately joined forces and launched an attack on the two thousand Mongolian troops at Dashan Pass.
"Kill,"
"Kill,",,,
Under the head of Dashanguan City, there was a sudden burst of shouting and killing. The Mongolian troops on the top of the city were surprised when they heard it. Everyone looked around and saw that a Song army horse suddenly came out of nowhere.
Prepare to attack the city!
After Cao Youwen and Li Shi joined forces, the Song army's siege force reached 8,000 men, while the Mongolian army only had 2,000 men. Moreover, these two thousand Mongolian troops did not expect that the Song army would dare to take the initiative to attack, so they were unprepared.
Unsurprisingly, the two thousand Mongolian troops did not have much experience in defending the city, and were poorly prepared and lacked materials to defend the city. Casualties increased sharply. Less than an hour after the Song army attacked the city, the Mongolian army had three to four hundred soldiers.
People were killed and injured.
When the sun was about to set, the Mongolian army could no longer hold on and had no choice but to abandon the pass and escape.
Soon, a banner of the Song Army was successfully erected on the top of Dashanguan City, and Dashanguan was once again in the hands of the Song Army.
Dashan Pass changed hands. This change also meant that it was almost impossible for Tuo Lei to leave the Song Dynasty. At this moment, the initiative on the battlefield was firmly controlled by the Song army.
