The old general was still experienced. He slowly calmed down and began to carefully think about the weaknesses of the Song army.

Then his eyes gradually lit up in the dark tent! Today he saw the Datong general, who was very cunning, but also very young.

An old man like Subutai knows best that the younger the general, the more anxious he is to make achievements.

They tend to be more radical and gain more when facing choices! So age is his obvious weakness... What flaws do he have in the future?

Subutai thought about it and looked at the map.

Unintentionally, his eyes stopped at the Yinshan Pass in the north of Datong City.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up! This place may be the place where he turned defeat into victory... It is unknown!... Just when Subutai was beaten up here and had to use a brilliant plan to restore the decline.

On the other side of Helan Mountain further north, Kuoduan, the Grand Marshal of the Mongolian Army's Western Route Army, was ecstatic! Helankou is a dangerous place in the world, and the entire valley is lingering for nearly a hundred miles.

After passing through the stretch of Helan Mountain, the section where you come out of the mountain is Helankou.

There was originally a pass there, and Kuoduan believed that it was the biggest obstacle to this trip.

This time he was very quick and he didn't even bring artillery. He just wanted to break through here in one fell swoop before the Song Dynasty National Welfare Army rescued the Helankou.

But unexpectedly, the defenders here actually fled. They were a group of Xixia people, and he could recognize them clearly from the military uniforms! After that, the Kuoduan army easily occupied Helankou.

Then he immediately sent a team of 10,000 people to the plains on the eastern foot of Helan Mountain to investigate.

As for why the scouts sent so many... Kuoduan was actually helpless.

...Originally, sending scouts to cover the battlefield was a unique advantage of their Mongolian army.

No matter who fights, the Mongolian army can prevent the enemy's provocate from daring to take the battle and firmly control the situation on the battlefield.

However, when the situation was very different when fighting with the Song army in recent years.

The scouts of the Song army were faster than theirs, and they were also a team of 100 people. One team could beat you three teams! So in the battle between the scouts, the Mongolian army could not exceed the speed and was much worse than the firepower.

If you don't get any advantage in the sentry detectives, you will suffer heavy losses instead.

Therefore, the Mongolian army often sent reconnaissance troops to several thousand, and this time it was even a whole team of ten thousand people.

However, after Kuoduan sent out this 10,000 team, a whistle detective came back to deliver the message before half an hour.

When Kuoduan heard the news, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead! Twelve miles east of the Helan Mountain Pass where he was located, the 10,000-person team he sent found a thousand-person army of the Song army! The opposite army was originally heading towards the Helan Mountain Pass, but was blocked by his 10,000-person team, and the two sides were fighting fiercely.

Kuoduan knew that this Song army's Thousand-man team must have been fully armed to support Helankou! It was only half an hour before he came one step earlier and firmly occupied the Helankou! If he had been a while in the evening, he would have to attack Helankou with the firepower of the Song army.

I really bless you every day! I was running wildly all the way, but he still took the lead! Thinking of this, Kuoduan turned his attention to the 12 miles east of the map, on the team of thousands.

"Does the Song army that came this time have artillery?"

He asked the captain of the scout who came back to report the message.

"No!"

The captain of the scout shook his head without hesitation and said, "There are a total of 1,000 people. I can see clearly that they did not bring artillery."

"And when we met them, the Song army was in a hurry.

It seems that they also knew that the war was as urgent as sparks, so they rushed to Helankou to help without heavy artillery!"

"That's good!"

After hearing this, Kuoduan smiled slightly and gently tapped his finger on the map in front of him.

"A thousand-man team of Song troops without artillery..." Kuo Duan said with a hint of unspeakable smile on his face: "Let's leave three thousand people to defend Helankou, and the rest will follow our entire army and eat them!"

Then, this Mongolian army of 100,000 people left three thousand elite troops to defend Helankou Pass.

Then they all set out forward and headed straight for the Song army's thousand-man team.

...In Helankou Pass City, there are actually more than three thousand defenders left by the Mongolian army.

Because this place is located in the middle of a deep valley, there are steep mountain walls on both sides.

Even if there were 100,000 troops who wanted to attack, less than 300 people were catching the enemy head-on under the pass.

So it was originally enough to put a thousand people here to defend, but if the three thousand troops were placed here, it would seem a bit crowded.

But Kuoduan still left enough manpower to prevent this important retreat from being occupied by the enemy.

Then Kuoduan led his troops to the east, and at the same time, several teams of ten thousand people lined up in a crescent-shaped "Qiyue Formation" and flew away to the war areas between the Song and Mongolian armies.

Kuoduan was galloping and thinking: He will face rich gains in this battle! The weapons carried by the Song army's Thousand-Person Team can strengthen his equipment, and his military uniform and armor can be worn by his own people and deceived him into opening important city gates along the way.

In this way, they can move forward at a faster speed. If they want to cross the Yellow River, they can penetrate into Lintao County, the Great Song Dynasty.

After that, in the heart of the Song Dynasty, where the Song army was caught off guard.

There was neither heavy defense, and there were military rations and supplies everywhere! He could burn and kill while attacking the southeast. At that time, his Western Army was unstoppable, and he could achieve the most ideal situation in his vision of this march! Of course, all this has a prerequisite, that is, he would encircle and annihilate these thousand people and not allow them to spread any news.

That's why Kuoduan let the troops open up such a large and wide net.

"One thousand to one thousand, the Song army has no artillery yet. I see how you guys die!"

When Kuoduan thought that he would be the first Mongolian general to eliminate the Song army in an organized manner, his heart was surging.

...At the same time, in front of him, the Song army's Thousand-man team also discovered something abnormal.

Before, they rushed forward to help Helankou, but were stopped by a Mongolian army that rushed out of Helankou.

The other party was strangely not provoking a large charge at them, but kept in contact with him and constantly attacking and harassing him.

It seems that the Mongolian army wants to stick with them and prevent the Song army from getting out.

Not long after that, smoke and dust rose everywhere in the vast Gobi Desert! The officers leading the Song army immediately realized that they were actually surrounded by a Mongolian army of tens of thousands of people.

The opposite side seemed to be afraid that they would escape, so they actually surrounded them in a large circle more than ten miles away.

Now the Mongolian army around is surrounding each other.
