Chapter 300 Retreat

Can cross the border.

I didn't expect Li Xia to dare to guard at Kedu Pass.In his opinion, this is simply ridiculous.

But he only brought a team of thousands of people, and he still had to drive out the servants when he stormed the city.

On the tenth day of April, the three thousand Dali soldiers behind him finally arrived.Yexian planned to attack Keduguan by force, but saw that the south was full of dust again.

But Yang Yuan finally led 3000 people, and Agudamu led more than [-] people to arrive.

He also whipped Yang Yuan immediately.

At the beginning, Duan Shi asked Yang Yuan to be responsible for annihilating the Song army. As a result, Yang Yuan chased all the way from Dajianshan to Yunnan City, and then detoured back to Tongya City, making a big circle.

Now that the Song army is about to escape from the border of Dali, what's the use of coming here?
In the joint army, the [-] troops used to put down the rebellion of the relic monks are all here.

Yexian was quite a headache instead, because most of the luggage had been lost, and it was too much to lead an army of [-] to attack a small pass.

The reason for such omissions is naturally because Duan Shi is too incompetent.

Fortunately, this small problem is easy to solve. After annihilating the Song army, it is enough to plunder the Uzza tribe.

Let's order troops to attack Guancheng first...

If you overlook Keduguan, you will see a mountain range running east-west.

There is a north-south path running through the mountains, which is the Wuchi Road, and this section is called Keduguan Post Road.

Because of the terrain, it is known as "the key to Yunnan and Guizhou".

But this mountain range is not very high, less than eight hundred feet.

Some Dali soldiers attacked the key city along the post road, and more began to climb mountains and mountains, trying to surround the Song army.

However, the Guancheng occupies the terrain and does not require too many troops, and the Song Army only has 200 people guarding the pass.The remaining 600 people and one hundred soldiers guarded the hills on both sides, constantly attacking Dali soldiers with artillery stones.

This kind of upward attack is very tragic for Dali soldiers, and people are constantly being hit by wood and rocks falling from the mountain.

This is the case with the attack on the mountain. Unless the sneak attack is successful, the first two days are nothing more than exchanging human lives for the wood, stones and arrows of the defenders.

At that time, it will be the time to slaughter the Song army.

~~
At dusk on the ninth day of April, the Dali army finally stopped attacking the mountain.The defenders on the top of the mountain were also panting from exhaustion.

The Dali soldiers who were crushed to death died as soon as they died, but they have been moving wood and stones for two consecutive days, and their physical strength has been exhausted.

Yang Ben was lying on his back on the top of the mountain when he suddenly heard someone muttering.

"You said, the county lieutenant won't escape?"

Yang Ben turned his head and saw that the speaker was a recruit who had just joined the army at the beginning of the year.

"No." Someone replied.

"The county lieutenant came to Dali and rescued his wife and brother-in-law, so he won't leave us behind, did he escape by himself?"

"Shut up, you, the county lieutenant won't escape."

"..."

After chatting for a few words, Hong Ah Liu came over, and those who spoke quickly fell silent.

Yang Ben felt a little funny in his heart, secretly thinking that the Qingfu army was not a regular officer and soldier, and it all depended on Li Xia's personal prestige, which is why the recruits had such concerns.

But why he stayed in such a private army, Yang Ben couldn't figure it out, he just felt that watching Li Xia's actions, he probably wouldn't really escape.

In short, I also fought two battles in Dali this time, and killed many Dali soldiers who were vassals of the Mongols.

Just thinking about it, a messenger ran over and shouted, "Is General Xiong Bai here?!"

Then I saw Xiong Shan chatting with the other party for a few words, and then went to Kedu Pass.

Yang Ben couldn't help thinking that Li Xia wasn't here, and the generals of the Qingfu Army were just peasants, so what else could they discuss.

……

Xiong Shan went all the way to Keduguan City, and saw that other hundred generals had arrived, all of them were covered in blood, and they were gathering together and pointing at the map.

Bao San raised his head, squinted his one eye, and asked Xiong Shan, "How is your side?"

"No one attacked the mountain, but most of the arrows have been used up, and it will be gone after another day of defense. The brothers are also very tired."

Yu Tian said: "There are too many enemy soldiers. If this goes on, if there is no reinforcements, they will soon be unable to defend."

Several men looked at each other for a while.

Li Xia was not around, Bao San was the most convincing one, said: "Wu Ang, tell me."

He could tell that among these hundreds of generals, Wu Ang was the most intelligent.

Wu Ang said: "We must continue to guard, and we must not let the brothers rest at night, repair the pass city, continue to prepare wood and stone, and re-arrange the traps."

"anything else?"

Wu Ang said: "Send someone to Sanjiazhai to look for the county lieutenant and report the battle situation."

Yu Bing said, "I'll send someone there."

"Okay." Bao San said: "Let the brothers work harder, and when the county lieutenant brings reinforcements, we will fight a fucking big victory here!"

"Okay! A big victory for his mother!"

Among the eight hundred generals, only Yu Tian and Li Xia had the shortest time. Although they responded loudly, they still had no idea in their hearts, wondering if the county lieutenant could really bring reinforcements?How could those old barbarians from deep in the mountains come as soon as they said it?
This deserted pass in the wilderness far away from the provincial government, it is really impossible to defend it without reinforcements.

Huohu also asked: "Can the county captain invite those barbarians?"

"Pay attention, the county captain has said that in the future it is not allowed to be called 'barbarian barbarian', but to be called 'mountain people'. From now on, we will all be brothers in the same robe who work together to fight against Mongolia."

"What's the difference? They don't understand."

Bao San clicked his lips and scolded: "I said Huhu, you are also a Yi, you are more energetic than anyone else, right?"

"Hey, I'm Shu Yi, can it be the same? Brother Xiong, do you think so?"

Xiong Shan can understand quite well, he is a mature seedling, he has a lot of contact with raw seedlings, and usually has many small conflicts, sometimes he is scolded by raw seedlings, and occasionally he has a temper and scolds those raw seedlings for not being old.

Hu Hu was raised by the Han people since he was a child, and he was often bullied by the old Yi in the mountains. He has a straight temper, so he is like this.

"Okay, listen to the county captain's orders honestly."

The next moment, someone shouted outside: "The county captain is back!"

All the generals cheered up, were overjoyed, and greeted Guancheng.

However, under the moonlight, those figures came up from the winding post road in the north, but there were only more than a hundred people, and they were the hundred soldiers from the village that Li Xia had taken away.

"I just said, those barbarians... the mountain people don't want to come easily." Luhu said.

"If you don't come, don't come." Bao San said, "The county captain always has a way."

"That's right, the county lieutenant always has a way." Mao Yi'er has the lowest qualifications, and it's nonsense to say a word until now.

While speaking, the gate to the north of Guancheng opened, and several hundred generals greeted Li Xia.

"County lieutenant."

Li Xia glanced at the few hundred generals and said, "Get ready, we will withdraw overnight and cross the river at night."

Bao San was taken aback, thinking that the county lieutenant had said that this is the Song Dynasty, and that the Mongolian army would not be allowed to enter?
~~
It was dawn, and he was woken up first by his centurion, Agudam.

"General, the Song people have escaped!"

"Escaped?" He scratched his beard first and became irritable.

He was really annoyed by Dali, where there are many mountains and rivers, and it went well with Wuliang Hetai to fight some local barbarians before, but a Song general who was a little bit good at fighting came, and the opponent began to use the mountains to escape all the way.

You can also imagine that Li Xia must be guarding the Kedu Pass, building a pontoon bridge on the Kedu River after the checkpoint, and then pretending to stick to the pass city, cross the river at night, and then demolish the pontoon bridge.

"Pass down and chase after me!"

Also quickly order all the soldiers and horses, and chase after Kedu Pass, but the pass city is empty.

After chasing Kedu River again, sure enough, the bridge on the river has been destroyed.

Let the Dali soldiers quickly build a pontoon bridge first, and continue to chase forward.

After crossing Kedu Pass and Kedu River, the terrain ahead suddenly becomes clear...

~~
The place Li Xia called "Weining" was called "Nanzhuti County" in ancient times, and it was Jimi Prefecture in Tang Dynasty, which was called "Baozhou".

Weining is surrounded by staggered peaks and valleys, and the mountains are vertical and horizontal, surrounding the open and gentle area in the middle.

Li Xia came out of the mountain with the Qingfu army and two hundred soldiers from the village. After traveling for sixty or seventy miles, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes far behind him.

Bao San lay on the ground and listened for a while, then shouted: "County Captain, the Mongolian army has caught up."

"Retreat to the mountains..."

~~
"General, I saw the Song people! They are just ahead!"

He also led only two thousand cavalry to catch up, half of them were the Tanma Red Army, and half of them were the Dali Horse Army.

After chasing for a long time, in the afternoon, I finally saw the figure of the Song army in front, two hundred cavalry and eight hundred infantry were fleeing into the forest to the north.

He also immediately ordered the cavalry to catch up.

"Quick! Don't let them escape to the mountains again..."

The Mongolian cavalry marched like the wind, and finally caught up with the Song army before they entered the valley.

The rain of arrows shot away, and the soldiers of the Song Army who ran at the end fell to the ground screaming.

Panicked, the soldiers of the Song army who were running ahead ran faster and fled into the valley one after another.

Seeing this situation first, he hesitated for a while, thinking that the Song people in this area could not have reinforcements, so he shouted: "Chasing! Kill them all..."
