Chapter 459
To the south of Diaoyu City is the camp of the Mongolian Army.

Shi Tianze boarded the hill in the early morning and looked at the Song Army banner on the top of Diaoyu City.

"Last night, Wang Dechen failed to conquer it."

Shi Shu nodded, and replied, "It's a failure."

"If you are in front of Da Khan, don't show any signs of taking pleasure in others' misfortune." Shi Tianze confessed.

"My nephew knows. After all, Diaoyu City is different from Kuzhu Pass. Wang Jian's use of troops is far better than Zhang Shi and Yang Li. If he had changed his nephew last night, the results of the battle would have been far inferior to that of Commander Wang. My nephew will not be arrogant because of this."

Shi Shu squinted and stared at Diaoyu City, still thinking about how to break the city.

Shi Tianze glanced at Shi Shu from the corner of his eye, and suddenly thought of something, and said, "Did you find out? Everyone in the army only wants to take this city."

Shi Shu responded naturally: "The Great Khan has been devastated since he entered Shu, and he only rested here for two months, and met such a stubborn Song army. How can he be reconciled if he doesn't break the city? Where is the power?"

"As far as the battle situation is concerned, it doesn't make much sense." Shi Tianze said: "Diaoyu City is the gateway to Chongqing. To attack it, in order to protect the supplies, we only need to surround the mountain city and block the defenders."

Shi Shu shook his head and said, "But Da Khan won't give up."

Meng Ge is really not in a hurry.On the Jinghu battlefield, Tachaer was defeated, and Kublai Khan hadn't gone south yet, so there was no need to rush to meet up now.

"I'm not trying to persuade the Great Khan to give up attacking Diaoyu City. Summer is over, and there is plenty of time to break through the city."

After seeing the army tortured badly by the scorching heat, humidity, and mosquitoes, Shi Tianze was glad that he spent the summer before the siege.

Otherwise, if the siege is unfavorable for a long time and the scorching heat comes again, this battle will be difficult to fight.

Right now, he is full of confidence in winning Diaoyu City.

"I plan to ask the Great Khan for orders to divide our troops to attack Chongqing."

Shi Shu was taken aback, and asked, "Uncle, are you sure? Chongqing is an important town in Zhao and Song Dynasties. The Diaoyu City has not been broken, and uncle can't take away too many troops."

"I guess there aren't too many soldiers in Chongqing." Shi Tianze pondered slightly in his eyes.

Shi Shudao: "My nephew heard that Pu Zezhi belongs to Li Zengbo's old family."

Shi Tianze waved his hand and said: "Your news is delayed. Zhao Song has moved to Li Zengbo to serve as Guangnan's envoy and Zhijingjiang Mansion to defend Ashu. Now Zhao Song's commander in Jinghu is Jia Sidao."

"Uncle means...there is no reinforcements in Chongqing?"

"Use your brain. Tacha'er was defeated so quickly, how many troops should the Song Army have in Jinghu, and how can they come to send reinforcements to Shu? If Pu Zezhi really has troops, why didn't he support Diaoyu City?"

While speaking, Shi Tianze became more and more calm.

"Now that Yang Dayuan has the old city of Hezhou, Chongqing has lost another barrier. Who can stop me from going down the river? If I don't take what I have in my bag now, when will I wait?"

For Meng Ge's attack on Shu this time, if he wanted to name the two most trusted generals under his command, they must be Wang Dechen and Shi Tianze.

Among the two, Wang Dechen is good at fierce fighting, while Shi Tianze is good at steady fighting.

If Chongqing had troops, Shi Tianze would never take the risk.

However, he has a keen eye for the fire, and has caught the opportunity from various news and signs. It is expected that this time he will be able to take Chongqing, the defense core of Sichuan and Shu, firmly...

~~
A few days later, Wang Jian boarded the gate tower of Huguomen again, and looking around, he saw hundreds of warships sailing on the Jialing River, and the soldiers on the bank were like long snakes, slowly going down the river.

"Shi Tianze is going to attack Chongqing."

"Yes, he doesn't mind letting us see it." Zhang Jue said with a sullen face, "He even sent someone to send a letter up the mountain, asking the general if he dared to go out of the city to support Chongqing."

Wang Jian took a few steps, put his hands on the battlements, and poked his head out, as if wanting to see more clearly.

He didn't let the soldiers under his command see his face.

Guarding Diaoyu City has exhausted his energy.

He couldn't bear the consequences of Chongqing's fall, but it was impossible to lead troops to support it.

This made him feel more pressure, which was much more difficult than going to the battlefield.

Where his eyes fell, under the mountain city, there is a vast expanse, and the great river formed by the confluence of the three rivers rushes south...

~~
Fujiang River, Jialing River and Qujiang River converge here, so it is called "Hezhou".

Therefore, it is an important military town today.

The old city of Hezhou was originally located between the Fujiang River and the Jialing River, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with unique scenery.

Since Yu Jie moved the state city to Diaoyu City, the old city has been sparsely populated, but there are soldiers and horses guarding it from the Song Army, and they are horns with Diaoyu City.

After Yang Dayuan broke the city, he was ordered by Wang Dechen to burn the city to deter the soldiers and civilians of Diaoyu City.

As a result, the fire rose, and the smoke rose straight into the sky.

The soldiers and civilians in Diaoyu City did not mention how angry they were, but there were also angry curses on a high mountain in the south of Hezhou.

"Yang Dayuan! I, oh your mother!"

Da Songxing also cursed a lot in Lin'an Mansion, but the dirtiest words often seemed elegant.

After Lin Zi scolded him, he still couldn't get enough of it, he held his knife and stared bitterly at the north, only wanting to kill Yang Dayuan to be reconciled.

But Nie Zhongyou shook his head, and said: "The one surnamed Yang keeps his hand, otherwise the brothers will die in the battle of Hezhou."

"Keep your hand?"

Lin Zi was quite surprised. He glanced at the soldiers who had escaped death in the mountains, and he didn't want to believe it, but he could only believe it.

They are the Wuxin Army of Suizhou, originally defending Suining.After Pu Zezhi failed to regain Chengdu, he was transferred to Qingju Mountain.

Later, Yang Dayuan went to Qingju City to persuade Liu Yuan to surrender, and killed Duan Yuanjian to Xiancheng.

In the chaos, Nie Zhongyou saw that the city was lost before the battle started, so he had to lead hundreds of remnant soldiers and flee southward.

They are infantry, hiding in the Fangshan hilly area, and they have to be careful of the Mongolian sentry horses on the road.

Hurry up and hurry up, but it is not as fast as the Mongolian army breaking through the city all the way.

Compared with other soldiers who were able to return to Diaoyu City, they were not lucky; but compared to the remnants of the Mongolian army, they were considered lucky.

When they arrived in Hezhou, Diaoyu City was surrounded by the Mongolian army.

Nie Zhongyou managed to enter the old city of Hezhou, and only then did he supply some supplies, but it was Yang Dayuan who led the troops to kill him again.

In this battle, he was sure that Yang Dayuan deliberately let go of the south gate, and did not immediately destroy the floating bridge of the Song army, and did not arrange an ambush to cover up the killing.

"I heard that before Yang Dayuan surrendered, he also beheaded Wang Zhong who was going to persuade the Mongolian army to surrender. It can be seen that this man is indeed loyal... This time, it seems that the reason why he surrendered may really be to win the people in the city. Bar."

"Bah!" Lin Zi spat and scolded, "That's also treason. If you forget your ancestors, you should be killed."

Nie Zhongyou smiled wryly.

Yang Dayuan's behavior made him feel that the situation was difficult.

This shows that those who surrendered to Mongolia were not only those who were greedy for life and fear of death, and those who betrayed their country and sought glory.

In this Meng Ge's personal conquest, since Yang Dayuan and below, many Song generals who have military exploits and understand the situation have surrendered.

"Feiyu once told me that there are only a few soft-boned and hard-boned people. Most people belong to... the middle group. The tendency of this group of people is often the general trend."

"Brother." Lin Zi said, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

Nie Zhongyou was helpless, Li Xia had many difficult words when he said these things, and it was really difficult for him to repeat them.

What he wanted to say was that he was worried about the surrender of people like Yang Dayuan, but he couldn't make Linzi understand.

"Let's go."

Nie Zhongyou didn't bother to say any more, stood up, and led the remnants to continue to cross the mountains.

Recalling that when Li Xia fought against Chengdu, Wu Xinjun still had more than a thousand people.

Today, there are only about [-] people left.

No matter how many soldiers there were, Nie Zhongyou was unable to bring them out.

They trekked hard, and three days later, they reached the territory of Beizhou, Chongqing Prefecture, and entered Jinyun Mountain.

~~
Jinyun Mountain is surrounded by white clouds, like mist and smoke, and has a majestic atmosphere, so it is called "Jinyun".

The mountains are cut off in the middle by the Jialing River, where the three rivers merge into one, forming a canyon.

Before, the Wuxin army had been hiding in the mountains and forests in order to avoid the Mongolian army. Only when they climbed such a high mountain did they dare to approach the river or the official road to wait and see.

"Go to the top of the mountain, hide your whereabouts, be careful, don't meet the Mongolian army." Nie Zhongyou ordered, chewing the bark in his mouth.

Now that the Mongolian army is besieging Diaoyu City, there are usually no sentry horses here, but they are used to being cautious.

Unexpectedly, as I was walking, I suddenly heard shouts coming from the front.

"There are Mongolian military sentries!"

"Kill them!"

Nie Zhongyou quickly spat out the bark in his mouth and ordered immediately.

"Ma Jiu, surround him from the east! Qiu Shou, lead people to disperse, no one is allowed to escape..."

There were only a dozen Mongolian soldiers on the mountain, and they only paid attention to the southeast direction, and did not notice that Song Jun was approaching from behind.

More than [-] people besieged and killed more than ten people, and after a while, all of them were shot to death.Song Bing immediately took out the water bag and divided the dried meat.

Nie Zhongyou was not in the mood to eat, and quickly climbed to the top of the mountain.

Soon, he heard Ma Jiu's shout.

"General, come and see!"

When he got to the top of the mountain, Nie Zhongyou lay his head on the boulder and looked over, he couldn't help being surprised.

In the canyon, Mongolian ships, soldiers and horses are heading south, and the end can't be seen at a glance.

"There are at least 2 people here, right? Are they going to attack Chongqing?" Nie Zhongyou said, "We have to hurry up."

"But the brothers have no strength..."

In the middle of Ma Jiu's words, she was stunned for a moment, raised her hand and pointed to the southeast.

"what is that?"

Nie Zhongyou turned his head and narrowed his eyes.

He faintly saw, in front of the Mongolian army team, in the woods at the exit of the canyon, there was a faint light flashing.

The light of the sun on the armor...

"Ambush? An ambush in Chongqing?"
