At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 167 Start from the Southeast
In the Zhenjiang government office, Ha Laji, Meng Qi, Liu Hanjie and others were sitting, looking at each other in silence.

After a long time, Ha Laji said: "According to Danyang's experience, Zhenjiang will be broken by the end of the year. Do you have any good strategies?"

Meng Qi shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that the navy of Jinghu Province can't go south, otherwise it's hard to say who will win and who will lose."

The Jinghu navy is either unable to move, or dare not move lightly. In case of defeat, the Song army will go against the current, not only Jinghu will be in danger, but even Sichuan will be implicated.

As for how to deal with the Song army's attack, everyone was at a loss.

The other party is fighting for your life, what can you do?
When I was melancholy, a soldier came in and said: "Deputy Commander, Liu Wanhu is leading the navy to the shore."

"He didn't guard the water village, so why did he land on the beach?" Ha Laji asked.

The messenger said: "I am following the marshal's order to help the army cross the river."

Ha Laji said: "Let the troops clean up and leave the city one by one to board the ship. Don't start any disputes."

Quite a feeling of relief.

Unknowingly, a shadow was left in Haragai's heart, and he no longer wanted to fight Song Jun.

All the generals felt this way and immediately returned to camp to pack up their belongings and prepare to run away.

After a while, Liu Jie entered the city and gave Atahai's order to Harajie.

The Yuan army did not set up a secret code, so Haragai accepted the seal when he saw that the seal was correct and the content was first in Mongolian and then in Chinese.

Liu Jie said: "Deputy Commander, the last general thought that the first mover would stop at Jiaojin Mountain [-] to assist the naval forces in guarding the water stronghold to prevent the Southern Army from cutting off the river."

Haragai thought for a moment and said: "Assign [-] of Liu Hanjie's new auxiliary troops to station in Ershan, and then come and cross over with our own troops."

There are 2 troops in the city, [-] main troops, and [-] new auxiliary troops. First, [-] will be deployed to guard the water stronghold, and another [-] will be left behind. The arrangement is perfect.

In the evening when they arrived, the vanguard went to the river to board the boat, packed more than [-] boats, and went to Ershan in one trip.

At dawn the next day, the navy returned. Three thousand Mongolian soldiers boarded the ship first, guarding the most important sky mines and a large number of weapons and armor.

In June last year, Kublai Khan issued an edict to collect all weapons from the south of the Yangtze River. Hundreds of thousands of weapons were stored in Zhenjiang Mansion. At this time, they had to be transported out, which was not feasible in a short time.

"Deputy Commander, in order to avoid taking advantage of the Confederate army, why not send them to the water stronghold first?" Liu Jie suggested.

As if to prove the correctness of Liu Jie's opinion, there was a loud explosion outside the city.

Realizing that the Yuan army was about to flee, the Song army began a strong attack.

"Yes!" Harajai agreed immediately without thinking too much.

In the afternoon, another [-] war horses were transported, as well as a large number of [-] weapons held by the Han army in the north, accompanied by civilian officials headed by Meng Qi.

It's not that the generals don't want to leave, but they are afraid that the army will suddenly collapse without a leader and have to stay to hold down the formation.

Seeing the golden mountain, Liu Jie grinned and said, "Senior, can you swim?"

"I've been learning recently, but I'm not very proficient." Meng Qi replied.

"The counselor has a heart." Liu Jie said with a smile, "It's just that the Emperor Song is kind, and he definitely won't let the councilor swim across the river."

Meng Qi's expression changed and he shouted: "You thief, how dare you betray the country."

"There is nothing we can do." Liu Jie said, "To avoid casualties, the counselor will be captured without hesitation."

What can Meng Qi do?As a civil servant, he was determined to serve the country with death, but it was a pity that Liu Jie did not allow him to die.

To him, every prisoner was a credit, the more the merrier.

At this time, shouts of death rang out from the boat behind, followed by a splash of water, followed by various curses.

Gui Ying stopped acting and let it show off.

The Yuan soldiers wanted to take over the ship, but found themselves surrounded, and the ballistae on the Song ship had been deployed.How can a bereaved dog be brave?
Voted.

On the top of the city, Yuan soldiers saw this scene and immediately reported it to Ha Lajie.

"Thief, you must cut your body into thousands of pieces!" Harajai could only say something.

He didn't even have a boat, how could he swim over and fight Liu Jie?

On the boat, Zhao Cunzhong looked at the war horses, smiled happily, and said: "Liu Tongzhi has worked hard. With this skill, it will not be difficult to make further progress."

"It's all due to the general." Liu Jie said modestly.

Zhao Cunzhong said: "Don't be humble. Officials have clear rewards and punishments, and there must be rewards."

Think about it for a long time as the eunuch of the Taipu Temple, but there are only more than a hundred horses, which are no different from postmen in reality. Now it is better, there are males and females, and the future can be expected.

Outside Zhenjiang City, Yang Zhenlong strengthened his offensive, and at the same time allocated a group of troops to the west of Zhenjiang to strengthen the ambush.

Sure enough, at night, the Yuan army left the city and headed west in the dark.

For them, there was only one way to survive, and that was to join the defenders of Jiankang Prefecture and then cross the river.

Of course Ha Laji knew that there would be an ambush, but the soldiers sent out to explore the road never returned.

It wasn't the Song army who intercepted and killed him, but he ran away by himself.

What does it mean to be defeated like a mountain?This is.

The [-]-strong army that left the city only lasted [-] miles, but [-] of them were gone. Harajui had no choice but to run away first with his close guards as a token of respect.

When Liu Hanjie found out that Haragai was missing, he was so angry.

"Stop the whole army!" Liu Hanjie roared angrily: "All generals disperse and gather the troops."

"General, do you want to fight to the death?" A soldier asked stupidly.

"Get it!" Liu Hanjie kicked him over and said, "Surrender. The more people there are, the better the treatment. Don't you know this?"

However, by daybreak, only more than 2000 soldiers had been gathered.

It's not that the generals didn't work hard, it's that the soldiers were too scattered and couldn't get together.

In the rear, the Song army pulled out a large net and kept gathering the Yuan soldiers.

The defeated army has lost its organization and poses no threat to the army. It is also harmful to the local area and Judah. ​​They must be wiped out to avoid becoming bandits and robbers.

Three days later, more than [-] captives returned to Zhenjiang and began to build the city.

In order to prevent internal interference in the city, the people were dispersed, and the city was demolished until it was full of potholes like dogs gnawed at it. In addition, hundreds of thousands of houses outside the city could not be restored for three to five months.

At the same time, in order to prevent Yangzhou's Ashu from crossing the river to attack, troops were stationed on all river banks and along the banks. At this time, Yang Zhenlong lost his ability to make progress.

However, Jiang Wanzai concentrated on attacking Anqing Mansion and was unable to pursue Li Heng. He could only watch the Yuan army cross the river.

In this regard, the emperor said that it was okay.

No matter how many Yuan troops are annihilated, the ultimate goal is to regain the lost territory. Now that Jiangnan East Road is all in hand, Lin'an can claim to have peace of mind.

Moreover, Jiangnan East Road and Jiangzhe Road are both places where the population gathers. Even if they are ravaged back and forth by the Yuan army, there is still a large remaining population.

Population and land are the foundation of a strong country. However, the people are hidden in the mountains and old forests, and the farm buildings are seriously damaged, which requires great efforts to manage.

The most important thing is that the Yangtze River defense line is long and requires a large number of troops to be stationed. It will not be possible to launch another attack within a year or two.

Of course, the Yuan army was unwilling to fail and continued to harass Jinghu Road. However, the Yuan army was exhausted from the battle and its strength was not high.
