Yi Ci Buha led the pursuit, but the follow-up troops had not caught up. Deputy Commander Li Shilin advised: "Commander, Zhang Rou is cunning. The main force of our army is behind us. It is not advisable to pursue too closely for fear of being ambushed."
Buha still had some sense at this time. He listened to Li Shilin's suggestion and slowed down, which made Zhang Rou dissatisfied.
Zhang Judao: "This Yi Ci Buha is really as timid as a mouse. With an army of 100,000 people, he doesn't even dare to chase me. Huh, I think I think highly of him."
After that, Zhang Rou carved words with a sword on a tree trunk and wrote, "A slave who raises horses, how can he be called a slave?"
Immediately, Zhang Rou ordered people to place the tree trunk in the middle of the road. When Buha saw the tree trunk, he suddenly saw the big characters on it. He was so angry that he wanted to eat Zhang Rou alive.
At this time, Tan Ma came to report that Baima Town was ahead. There were no traces of the main Mongolian army stationed in Bazhukou, Wujiao Town, Jiuzhangwan, Huangxinzhuang, Fanjiachuan and other places around Baima Town.
After hearing this, Buha no longer had any worries. He ordered the army to pursue him at full speed, and encouraged: "Anyone who kills Zhang Rou will be promoted to the third level and will be rewarded with tens of thousands of gold coins. Anyone who captures Zhang Rou will be rewarded with hundreds of gold coins."
When one hundred thousand soldiers learned that the bonuses and silver rewards were so high, their morale immediately recovered, and they followed Buha with a snarl to chase Zhang Rou.
In the Polo Camp, every half an hour, a scout came to report the news. When he learned that the main force of the Buha army had entered the Baima Town, Polo was overjoyed. He immediately said: "Send orders to all the troops to encircle the Baima Town.
"
Immediately, the Mongolian troops hidden in Bazhukou, Wujiao Town, Jiuzhangwan, and Huangxinzhuang were dispatched and gathered towards Baima Town. As soon as Yizabuha entered Baima Town, they were surrounded by them.
Ha found out that he had fallen into a trap and was surrounded, but it was already too late.
Yicibuha was very anxious and hurriedly checked the Mongolian troops around him. As he walked around, Yicibuha gradually relaxed his brows and said with a smile: "Bolu kid actually tried to kill me Yici with this small force."
Buha, you are overestimating your capabilities."
It turns out that at this time, there were only more than 60,000 troops under Polo's command for encirclement, while there were 100,000 troops in Buha. In comparison, 60,000 surrounded 100,000 troops. This naturally showed that Polo's encirclement was weak.
, completely useless.
Yi Ci Buha immediately ordered his men and horses, and then attacked the south side defended by Zhang Rou and Sulu Ketu. At the same time, Yi Ci Bu Ha ordered Li Shilin to attack the west side defended by Shi Tianze and Salitai. For a time, the battlefield was full of chaos.
The shouts of beating and killing were loud.
However, the Mongolian army was good at bows and arrows and equestrian skills. Although the vast majority of Porlu's army were Han Chinese, these Han people had followed the Mongols for many years and had already developed extremely high equestrian and archery skills.
Therefore, when the Yici Buha army launched an attack, they encountered a fierce rain of arrows and suffered heavy casualties.
Faced with this situation, Yicibuha didn't take it seriously at all. He firmly believed that he could break out. However, it soon became dark and Yicibuha had to withdraw his troops.
At night, Buha inspected the army and saw that the soldiers were tired and their morale was low. Buha became worried again. He had not cared about it during the day, but now he had to start worrying again.
At this moment, the deputy commander Li Shilin said to him: "Commander, we are here to defeat the Mongolian army and save Qingyang Mansion from danger. Since the Mongolian army is right in front of us, why do we have to break through? Why don't we just fight with them?
In a hard fight, our army has superior strength and can withstand even half of it. But half of them die, but for them, the sky will fall."
This sentence immediately woke up the dreamer, and stabbed Buha as if he was enlightened. He seemed to see a way out in an instant. He said excitedly: "Yes, this is the reason. Come on, give the order to the whole army immediately. This is the place to annihilate the Mongols."
This is the best time for the army. If we win this battle, we can return to the court with our troops and return in triumph."
As soon as this order was issued, many soldiers felt that it was justified. If they fought the Mongolian army here, they would not have to travel a long way.
But just when Yi Ci Buha was excited, he didn't know that today was his last and only chance. If he missed today, he would never have another chance.
That night, Bolu ordered his people to dig trenches and pile earth slopes around Baima Town. Using such fortifications, he planned to trap Buha here and die.
Zhang Rou was worried and said to Bolu: "Commander, although Buha is stubborn, he is also a veteran. With such fortifications, I am afraid it will be difficult to trap him. Moreover, our army has penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom. If we stay here for a long time,
If we delay the decision, our army will be under huge logistical pressure, and reinforcements from the Kingdom of Jin will continue to arrive. If so, they will form a pincer attack from both inside and outside, which will be very detrimental to our army."
A smile appeared on Bolu's lips, and he said: "I have already considered what you said. Now I am not trying to trap him to death, but to hold him back. In three days, it will be the time for Buha to die."
"Three days?"
Zhang Rou looked at Bo Lu in surprise. She didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Bo Lu's gourd, but as a subordinate, Bo Lu didn't take the initiative to tell him, and he couldn't ask more questions.
On the second day, when Yi Tsai Buha was about to launch an annihilation campaign, they saw trenches all over the place. The Mongolian army had already ambushed on the slopes. As soon as the Yi Tsai Buha soldiers showed their heads, they would be shot with sharp arrows.
This made it impossible for Yicia Buha to launch a large-scale and effective offensive.
"It seems that Bolu wants to trap me here to death, but he underestimates me too much. My food and grass are enough to last for a month, but it depends on how he can survive this month."
Yici Buha was not fully aware of the danger. He just thought that Bolu was going to trap him here, and then wait until his food and grass were cut off and the morale of the army was in chaos before he could attack again.
Yicibuha thought that although it was difficult for me to fight out, it was also difficult for the Mongolian army to break in. The Mongolian army's trench slopes trapped Yicibuha, but they also trapped themselves, and they could offset each other.
At the same time, Baima Town is the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom. If the confrontation continues like this, Jin soldiers and volunteers will surely come to support them. It is not certain who will be killed in the end.
So Buha did not rush to fight out, but ordered people to use flying pigeons to pass the message. At the same time, it was sent to Wanyan Zhidu in Qingyang Prefecture, asking him to send 10,000 to 20,000 people to Baima Town and attack the Mongolian army from both inside and outside.
Success will be immediate by then.
On the one hand, Buha did not forget to use flying pigeons to deliver messages, and even reported good news to the court, saying that he had defeated Zhang Rou, recovered Yuancheng, and was currently facing off against the Bolu army. The situation was excellent.
After issuing a document, Buha moved his assassination and ordered extra meals for the soldiers, thus declaring to the soldiers that he had sufficient food and grass and was not afraid of the Mongolian army's trap.
