Ranking Pass History: Inventory of the Top Ten Great Players in History

In the commander's tent of the Mongolian camp, the Mongolian generals listened silently to Wo Kuotai's roar.

Wo Kuotai was like a wounded bear, panting heavily through his nose.

He scanned the general in the tent with murderous eyes, but he didn't expect to get an answer.

He finally stopped his gaze on the only general of the Han army in the tent.

"Brother Dong, can you tell me how the red-coated thief arrived in Yanjing?"

Of course only Dong Wenbing can be honored as Brother Dong by Wo Kuotai, and can have a place in the meeting where only senior generals of Mongolian origin can participate.

Knowing that Yanjing was lost, Wo Kuotai immediately summoned all the senior Mongolian generals.

Because Wo Kuotai knew best that the loss of Yanjing meant that the two-year southern expedition had to come to an end.

If I can get the news that Yanjing City is broken, Liu Futong and Mao Gui who are stationed in Xiangzhou City will definitely receive the news.

Even if he wanted to lead the army back north, he still had to worry about Liu Futong and Mao Gui leading the army to pursue them.

The reason why he didn't summon the Tanma Red Army and the Han Army was because he wanted to make these attached troops fall behind.

The move to withdraw troops has to be fast.

Once the Tanma Red Army and the Han Army know that their retreat has been cut off, these blunt guys might immediately surrender to Liu Futong.

This is why Wo Kuotai summoned the Mongolian generals so urgently.

Dong Wenbing was able to attend this meeting because Wo Kuotai did not regard Dong Wenbing as an outsider.

More importantly, Wo Kuotai couldn't figure out how the red-coated thieves got around the city of Yanjing. Could it be that they couldn't fly?
Facing Wo Kuotai's inquiry, Dong Wenbing bowed his body, took out a Yanyun map, pointed to Nigu Port and said,
"Khan, I believe that the red-coated thief landed in Nigu."

"You mean, the red-coated thief entered the hinterland of Yanyun by sea?"

Wo Kuotai and a group of Mongolian generals looked at the area marked with sea water on the map, all of them looked confused.

They are all prairie athletes. They learned to ride horses and shoot arrows before they learned to walk. They know all the means of warfare on land like the back of their hands.Although they have never read "Sun Tzu's Art of War", they have mastered all the subtleties of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" without a teacher.

Because "Sun Tzu's Art of War" is originally a encyclopedia of land warfare tactics.

But they don't understand the sea, nor the way of water warfare.They would vomit when they were on a boat, and they would faint when they saw the sea water.

"Exactly!"

Dong Wenbing said respectfully, "This move can be described as extremely vicious! Our army is not good at water warfare. In addition, the southern navy attacked north, and at most they dared to attack Dengzhou. Our defense against Nigu is too strong." It is too fragile and almost defenseless, so these southerners took advantage of this loophole.

Great Khan, for the current plan, we can only lead our troops back to Yanyun.Don't care about the southerners and false emperors in Xiangzhou City! "

Wo Kuotai also calmed down at this time, no longer entangled in how the red-coated army did not get dizzy by boat.

He ordered the [-] Tanma Red Army and the [-] Han Army who were not very close to them to attack Xiangzhou City day and night.

In order to make Tanma Chijun and the Han army not suspicious, Wo Kuotai left behind the general Su Butai and the resourceful Dong Wenbing.They were left with [-] Mongolian troops, [-] elite Han troops led by Dong Wenbing's family, and [-] horses.

If nothing can be done, everyone can escape on horseback.

However, the fierce offensive of the Mongols could not frighten Liu Futong, a reckless emperor who came from a rough background.He had already received Liu Bowen's letter from Feige, and he knew that Liu Bowen and Yang Miaozhen had not only broken through the city of Yanjing, but were even planning to defend it.

Liu Bowen said in the letter,
"Your Majesty, in this battle, we will completely scare the Mongols so that they will not dare to look south for five years."

After reading Liu Bowen's letter, Liu Futong laughed loudly, "You are worthy of being my prime minister, and you are indeed worthy of Liu Bowen's ingenuity. We will win this battle."

In the face of the massive attack of the Tanma Red Army and the Han Army, Liu Futong quoted a famous saying from "Sun Tzu's Art of War",

"Whoever resigns and advances, retreat! Wo Kuotai wants to escape. Pass our military order, and the whole army will attack, and defeat these traitors abandoned by the Mongols within three days."

Of course, trying to defeat these extremely powerful Mongolian congregation troops within three days is simply a dream.

But Liu Futong has a solution.

During the first day's defense of the city, Liu Futong selected hundreds of loud voices, stood in a safe place, and yelled loudly at the Han army and the Tanma Red Army who were attacking the city bravely.

"Brother, what life are you playing with? In the eyes of the Mongols, your life is only worth a donkey."

"Brother, you are too stupid. Do you know that our ingenious Prime Minister Liu Bowen has already taken Yanjing down. Now Wo Kuotai led the Mongolian army and has run away. You are still here to attack the city foolishly, really stupid Got home!"

"Brother, don't think I'm lying to you! Go to the Mongolian camp and find out!"

"Surrender to us! We are all Han Chinese, of the same language and race. If you surrender, we will be brothers, and we will never use you as a donkey."

The generals of the Han army were not stupid either.

Although they didn't believe that the Song people could break through the city of Yanjing, after a day's siege of the city, they still tried their best to send people to the Mongolian camp to find out the news.

The news of the probe made the generals of the Han army feel cold.

Subotai led [-] Mongolian cavalry troops to guard the camp, killing anyone who approached.

Isn't this fucking 300 taels of silver here?
In the siege battle on the second day, the Han army obviously did not work hard.

On the contrary, the Red Army of Exploring Horses from the Western Regions continued to fight fiercely.

But without the assistance of the Han army, the [-] Tanma Red Army obviously couldn't do anything to the defenders in the city.

Liu Futong was keenly aware of this change.

During the siege on the third day, he suddenly opened the gates of the city and dispatched Mao Gui, the number one general under his command.

Mao Gui led more than 2 cavalry into the Tanma Chi army that was attacking the city, slashing with sabers and stomping on horseshoes, and killed the Tanma Chi army in less than half a day.

Subotai and Dong Wenbing wanted to try harder, and when they were about to lead their [-] soldiers to stabilize the battlefield, Liu Futong decisively wore a dragon robe and rushed out of Xiangzhou City in a chariot.

The 13 red-robed Song troops in the city, led by Meng Gong, Yu Jie, Wang Jian and others, rushed out like a fire that swept across the ground, quickly drowning the battle formation of the Tanma Red Army.

Seeing this situation, Subotai and Dong Wenbing knew that there was nothing to be done, and immediately withdrew from the battlefield with their cronies, and ran towards the north without stopping.

As soon as Subotai and Dong Wenbing fled, even the dullest general of the Han army knew that something serious happened in the rear.

If Wo Kuotai was still here, how could he run away?

These Han troops assigned to attack the city were originally the lowest-level cannon fodder army in the Mongol army sequence.Now seeing that he was abandoned by the Mongols, some hot-tempered generals of the Han army immediately revolted in front of the battle and joined the ranks that besieged the Tanma Red Army.

There are also some Han generals who killed a lot and led their subordinates to flee to the north, or fled back to their hometowns, and some even fled directly into the Taihang Mountains, preparing to live the life of the King of the Mountain.
