In this way, the 180,000 people he brought had lost more than 100,000, leaving only more than 50,000 Mongolian troops and 25,000 Seme Legion. The total number of people was less than 80,000! And now on the Han River, all ships have been collected on the south bank of Xiangyang.

Not only did his own grassland warriors not only could not fight in water, but they could not even find a small boat! In this way, the not-wide Han River has become an insurmountable natural barrier.

At this time, Tolei also fully realized that the enemy's weapons were sharp and the generals were brave.

What's more, the other party's commander was an unfathomable person.

From his series of operations in mobilizing troops and defending Xiangfan, Tolei already knew that the opponent was definitely an extremely difficult opponent! Moreover, it was obvious that the enemy had not been eliminated in large quantities, and their strength was almost completely unscathed.

Under such circumstances, if Tuolei still wants to conquer Xiangyang with confidence, he will undoubtedly be a whimsical fool! Although the hope of defeating Xiangyang is so slim, Tuolei still finds it difficult to abandon the goal in front of him.

Because if he went back now, his image of losing his troops and losing his generals would be completely established.

Tuolei thought to himself: Now that his father Khan is old, the two most powerful brothers are hugging each other.

If I retreat under such circumstances, wouldn’t I be getting further and further away from the position of the Khan?

Thinking of this, Tolei felt a desire to retreat and wanted to end the hopeless battle in Xiangfan immediately.

At the same time, when he thought of the ridicule and ridicule he faced after he went back, and the humiliation that he would never be able to go back like this! So Tuo Lei was both sad and angry and painful at this moment, but after weighing and thinking about it for a while, it was difficult to make a decision.

...And at this time, Marshal Jiang Yuxin also rearranged the defense line in Xiangyang.

Under her order, the remaining 4,000 soldiers of the Huainan West Route Army were placed in Xiangyang City to be stationed in charge of garrison after the bloody battle.

This heroic unit that first arrived in Xiangfan fought the longest time and suffered the most severe damage, with almost 20% of the number of people being reduced.

Therefore, using them to defend Xiangyang and cooperating with the remaining artillery can fully ensure the safety of Xiangyang.

At the same time, Gu Mulan and Qing Mulian two cavalry units immediately entered the renovation and were ready to use ships to cross to the opposite side of the Han River and launch a sudden attack on the Mongolian army.

These two cavalry are all offensive troops. As long as they use the shade of night to quietly cross the Han River, they can land at any location within a hundred miles upstream and downstream of the Han River.

In this way, when the enemy attacks Xiangyang again, they can use it to the wind-like cavalry at any time and attack the enemy's rear.

Wu Chaoyang's Shaoxing army troops were divided into two groups and stationed on the passages on the left and right sides of Hutou Peak.

These two narrow paths can give them the advantage of being the only one man as a pass and being invincible to thousands of men.

The mountain infantry army on Liu Lie on Fujian Road was stationed at Hutou Peak.

If this mountain infantry is used for defense under mountain terrain, it would be really suitable.

Liu Lie placed a thousand people on the top of the mountain to build a position, and at the same time, he divided the remaining four thousand people into two groups on the hillsides on both sides of Hutou Peak, respectively, and arranged them on the flanks.

The positions he set up on both sides of the mountain can echo Wu Chaoyang, who is stationed at the passage at the foot of the mountain.

At the same time, it can form cross-fire with the defensive positions on the top of the mountain, making Hutou Peak's defense foolproof.

When Hutou Peak was held tightly, the gap between Xiangyang and Hutou Peak actually became a safe area for the Tongzhou army.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Huaixi Army in Xiangyang City only need to defend the Han River line north of Xiangyang City, and there is no need to worry about behind them.

At the same time, the five hundred Hurricane Battalion soldiers returned to the command of Battalion Commander Yeluhua to warn the Han River section between Xiangyang City and Hutou Peak.

They were responsible for fighting in advance when the Mongolian army tried to cross the river, and issued an alarm, calling the large troops to come for reinforcements at any time.

This time, Song Jie, a land army officer who led the Hurricane Camp to block the river on the Han River, performed extremely wonderfully.

So after he handed over the command power, Miss Jiang simply handed over all the ships along Xiangyang to him.

Song Jie accepted the order to find ways to transform the ships and allow soldiers to train water war subjects.

Try to continue to use the Han River and the fleet in the next battle to attack the enemy! Moreover, Song Jie has no worries about no one available at all. Although he is a bare commander and has no big-headed soldiers under his command, there are only 1,200 people to be commanded by him... These people are the Semi people who have just been subdued.

However, these people have not been educated in their ideological ways and obviously cannot be directly placed on the battlefield to fight, so Song Jie simply used them as craftsmen and coolies.

When he organized and renovated the ships and trained the fleet.

Song Jie smoothly and freely used these strange-looking alien warriors to make a circle! The Xiangfan battlefield has once again calmed down after several days of decisive battles.

What kind of war they will face next depends on what the Mongolian general Tuolei on the other side thinks.

But Tuole never expected that just as he was thinking and hesitating, someone quickly made a decision for him!... Tuole was in a heavy mood and thought about it in a depressed middle of the night.

He had just fallen asleep and felt as soon as he closed his eyes, he heard the sound of horse hooves approaching his camp from a distance.

When Tolei woke up, he alertly turned over and sat up from the fur-paved floor, then picked up his knife and walked out of the yurt.

He found that he didn't sleep for a long time, but in fact the time was not short.

The sky is already bright, and it looks like it is early morning.

At this time, he saw a Mongolian centurion with several riders coming to him and strangle the war horse.

As soon as the other party spoke, he immediately frightened Tuolei! Behind them, Ruzhou and Yancheng outside Funiu Mountain, they discovered a large group of Tongzhou troops at the same time! At this time, Tuolei's shock was really extraordinary! This time he entered Xiangfan and walked the road from Funiu Mountain Pass.

And Ruzhou Yancheng outside the mountain pass is 560 miles away from Xiangfan! The Tongzhou army actually appeared behind him at such a distance?

When he received the news, he immediately walked into his tent with a pale face.

Then he sat on the stool with a look of astonishment on his face.

Here I want to talk about the terrain of Xiangfan. As mentioned in the previous document, the entire Nanyang Plain is surrounded by mountains on all sides, like a basin placed on the ground, and Xiangyang is an opening on the south edge of the basin.
