The Mongolian army retreated very neatly early in the morning, which was surprisingly determined.

Seeing that it was less than half an hour after dawn, the Mongolian army on the opposite side of the Han River had already left, leaving only traces of fire and horse manure all over the ground.

Since the Mongolian camp had abnormal movements, Marshal Jiang has been observing the movements of the Mongolian army at the top of Xiangyang City.

After that, she turned around and said to her general: "It seems that the commander should have arrived... The Mongolian army is not evacuating, but running away!"

"What if this is the enemy's trick to lure the tiger out of the mountain?

That guy Torey has a lot of heart!"

At this time, Liu Lie, the big-headed man, took the opportunity to remind Marshal Jiang.

In fact, his concerns were correct, because pretending to be defeated and evacuated in a mess and attracting the enemy to pursue him, it has always been the most popular tactic used by the Mongols.

When they encounter a strong enemy retreating rapidly, they will not consider things like face.

The Mongols have always liked to use this method to lure the enemy out of the strong cities and defense lines, and then pull them into the field environment they are most familiar with and slowly grind them to death.

When he heard Liu Lie’s reminder, Marshal Jiang shook his head and said, “Tulei had a desire to retreat, but he just couldn’t bear the consequences of failure and couldn’t overcome the hurdle of face.”

"I have seen many people who can force others to the point of nowhere, but now some people are scaring Tolei so much that they don't even want their faces... This is only our commander!"

"It's enough for the commander to close the door and fight the dog for such a long time. Tolei must have received a war report from the rear last night... We don't plan to chase him anyway, even if he really plays tricks, it's useless."

When he said this, Marshal Jiang Yuxin turned his head and began to arrange defenses near Xiangyang City for the generals.

... Then you may have to ask, after so many days, Shen Mo had obviously led his main field army to block Tuole's retreat and trapped him on the Nanyang Plain, which was less than 300 miles in length and width.

Then why didn’t Shen Mo use his usual method of passing letters to inform Marshal Jiang of the current situation of the battle?

Those who think so must have some misunderstandings about the so-called Feige's letters.

Because the communication means of a pigeon is actually a point-to-point intelligence transmission method.

The biggest limitation is that the carrier pigeon will only fly to places where it grows from small to large.

In other words, if Shen Mo wanted to send a message to Xiangyang, he would raise a group of pigeons in Xiangyang.

Let them fly in the sky of Xiangyang and be familiar with the terrain there.

Only after this could Shen Mo take away these pigeons and use them to send messages to Xiangyang.

Generally speaking, well-trained carrier pigeons can fly back to their hometown even if they are thousands of miles apart until they enter the pigeon cage where they grew up.

It is also because of this reason that Shen Mo had carried a carrier pigeon around him that he could send important information and orders to the various troops of the Song Dynasty.

However, there was no Shen Mo's garrison here in Xiangyang, so there was no station for raising pigeons. In this way, he could not use pigeons to issue orders to the Xiangyang area.

So after knowing this, everyone will understand.

How absurd it is to suddenly receive a letter from a flying pigeon when a knight appears in the wilderness... because it simply violates the laws of pigeon movement.

However, although there is no direct connection between Shen Mo and Xiangyang, Jiang Yuxin, who is extremely smart and very familiar with his behavior, can accurately guess what Shen Mo is planning and which step has been taken.

So when Marshal Jiang saw that the Tolei army under the city suddenly evacuated rapidly, she knew that this was her husband and had already attacked the Mongolian army from behind! After that, Miss Jiang immediately asked Gu Mulan and Qing Mulian to cross the Han River with their men and horses, and observe the enemy's movements behind the Mongolian army.

At the same time, she left the Huaixi New Army in Xiangyang City to garrison, but sent Liu Lie's Fuzhou Mountain Infantry and Wu Chaoyang's Shaoxing Army across the Han River.

The location where the two of their troops crossed the Han River this time was at Hutou Peak, which was the section of the Han River defense line that Guo Baoyu could not break through yesterday.

After a night of drifting in the river, all the enemy corpses on the Han River were washed downstream this morning, and only the bloody traces and sporadic stranded corpses near the river bank were still on the river bank.

When Liu Lie and Wu Chaoyang crossed the river, the combat mission their troops were to establish a line of defense on the passage more than ten miles wide between the Han River and Tongbai Mountain.

Because Marshal Jiang Yuxin knew in his heart that the most powerful part of the Mongolian army was their powerful mobility of escaping thousands of miles away.

Therefore, with the tactics and weapon level of the Tongzhou Army, it may be possible to defeat this Mongolian army, but it is very difficult to wipe out them all.

Therefore, no matter how commander Shen Mo in the Mongolian army, he would not put them on the vast North China Plain.

The most ideal way is to trap them in the Nanyang Plain where the cows are suffocated and then eliminate them.

In this case, her husband Shen Mo must have blocked all exits before entering the Nanyang Plain and the Tolei decisive battle! Therefore, Marshal Jiang must not let the last gap near Xiangyang have a slight mistake.

Because at that time, Tolei, who is desperate, is likely to be hunted and tracked by the commander and chased back here.

Therefore, the Han River passage across the river bank must be blocked.

Before this, the reason why Tolei had to pull out Xiangyang City and then set out from here to attack the Song Dynasty south was because Xiangyang was actually equivalent to the keyhole on the Jiangnan gate.

If Tolei wants to march into Jiangnan, whether it is the allocation of troops, the supplement of war horses and food, or even transporting a large number of slaves and spoils back to Mongolia, he needs to ensure a safe and worry-free rear.

In this case, if the strategic point of Xiangyang is not captured, it is impossible for Tolei to march south through the Han River channel.

But the situation is very different now. When Tolei runs back here, his mission is not to fight and conquer, but to run for life! In this case, no way out is no longer under Tolei's consideration.

Therefore, the passage on the east bank of the Han River must be sealed, but the defense of the tiger-headed bee is no longer important.

Because even if Tuo Lei drinks a lot of expired horse milk, he will not be too confused to beat Xiangyang.

...So Wu Chaoyang and Liu Lie immediately set out to the other side of the Han River, preparing to seal the passage leading to the south of the Yangtze River.
