Chapter 193 Kick the Door
In Jiankang Mansion, the emperor gave Jiang Wanzai a stick of incense as usual and then handled military affairs.

There was no battle report coming today, so Zhao could only deduce it in his mind based on the map.

Seeing that his eyes were fixed on Xiangyang, Wen Daosheng said: "Your Majesty is thinking about how to regain Xiangyang?"

Zhao Shi nodded and said: "Duanping entered Luo and was defeated, Yuanlu went south, Zhao Fan was incompetent and lost Xiangyang. In the third year of Jiaxi, Meng Gong recovered. In Baoyou's fifth year, Yuanlu invaded the south in a large scale, and Meng Ge attacked Diaoyu. The city died, but Xiangyang was fine.

In the third year of Xianchun, Yuanlu soldiers besieged it, and the central government was at a loss to deal with it. Xiangyang was reduced to an isolated city. After six years of surrender, the Yangtze River was no longer owned by the country, and the country was almost destroyed.

It has been 40 years since Wang Shi arrived in Xiangyang today. I only hope that Xiangfan will never suffer from military disasters again. "

The wish is good, but it requires the Song army to be on the offensive all the time. If the Yuan army pushes back, Xiangfan will have to go through war.

Since ancient times, there have been three routes from north to south, one from Sichuan along the Yangtze River, one across the Huaihe River to the Yangtze River, and the last one from the Han River to the Yangtze River, driving straight down.

Xiangyang and Fancheng are located at the southern end of the Nanyang Basin. They stand against the Xianshou Mountain and sandwich the Han River. They connect Jingyu and Henan and control the north and south. They are the key to cutting off the Han River.

When Meng Ge invaded the south, his father Shu Suhuli came to Abachi and advised him to surround Diaoyu City and other dangerous places. He captured Chongqing and other places and then went down the river. After the Song Dynasty was destroyed, he turned around and attacked Diaoyu City.

The generals were eager to win, thinking that the Mongolian army was powerful and that the attack on the city could only take place in a snap. As everyone knows, Meng died and Kublai Khan took over.

Brother Meng's lesson was not far away. Kublai Khan listened to Shusuhuli's strategy and was persuaded by Liu Zheng and others to besiege Xiangyang with all his strength. After six years, Lu Wenhuan surrendered, and the Yuan army flowed down the river unimpeded.

But in fact, every time Mongolia invaded the south, they sent troops from Shandong to cross the Huaihe River, including Zhao Da's plan to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Now that the lower reaches of the Huaihe River are in hand, Zhang Shijie plans to attack the upper reaches of the Huaihe River from the west. By taking Xiangyang, he can form a pincer attack from the front and back. If he succeeds, he can go south to attack the second of the three.

And to capture Xiangyang, we can use this as a base to enter Hanzhong from the Han River, and cooperate with the Yangtze River waterway to siege Sichuan from both sides.

The strategic significance of offense and defense is so important that the emperor cannot help but ignore it.

Although nature knew this, when they arrived at the foot of Bailu Mountain, each ship anchored close to the shore to cover the landing of the troops.

On the mountain, the guard was happy to see the Song soldiers landing and ordered his subordinates to prepare.

"General, if your ship is close to the shore, it must be covered with cannons and rocks. Why not rely on the danger and defend it?" Daruhuachi Gusa advised.

If it were ordinary Daru Huachi and Han generals, Gu Sa could just give the order directly. But Yongwu, who was happy, had registered in front of Boyan, and Gu Sa really didn't dare to take advantage.

"It has been floating on the river for a long time. Its legs are weak and its hands are numb. It is just when it is vulnerable to a blow. How could it be missed?" Gao Xing sneered: "At one go, rush down and kill its infantry. Even ten thousand ships will be useless."

"If there is too much damage, I'm afraid the stronghold will be difficult to defend." Gu Sa said.

"Is there no backup?" He was happy and not afraid, and said: "Kill one of them and lose his spirit. Xiangfan will have no worries, so why bother with a cottage!"

Seeing that nearly [-] Song troops had landed, they were so happy that they gathered [-] soldiers from the stronghold and rushed to the river beach to kill them.

Song Bing quickly formed an array, but after walking on the water for many days, his legs were really weak and he couldn't go fast.

"If it goes as Qianhu expected, this battle will be won!" Gu Sa was very excited.

If he wins this battle, maybe he will become Qianhu, not Qianhu Suo Daluhuachi.

The two are on the same level, and even Daruhuachi has the power of supervision. However, in the eyes of some Mongolians, the simple Daruhuachi is actually just a supervisor. Only people with no ability can become officials. Only thousands of households can He is an official.

He was happy but didn't answer, and shouted: "Charge forward and engage in hand-to-hand combat. Song Chuan will be useless!"

He took the lead and went down the mountain. He rushed over a hundred troops and all his subordinates followed him to the foot of the mountain.

huh~
A strong wind blew across his face, and he looked back subconsciously. He saw a black dot smashing six soldiers, one, two, three, four, five. After landing, he bounced up and smashed two soldiers again. Then he broke two calves. After landing, he again He only stopped after breaking one foot.Before he could recover, more than a hundred black shadows fell into the military formation. For a while, broken limbs and broken arms were flying all over the sky, and the formation was mostly covered with blood mist.

Looking to the side, Gu Sa's head was gone, blood gushed out from his neck, and he fell off the horse with a thud.

Glad to be dumbfounded.

Before taking refuge with Chen Yi, Gao Xing had already gathered eight hundred brothers and was unstoppable across Caizhou. After joining Chen Yi in joining the Yuan Dynasty, he fought for the lead in battles and gained a lot. He had seen the world, but the battle situation in front of him was beyond him. cognition.

Just an iron bullet the size of a horse's fist is so powerful, how can it be hit?
Before they could recover, the second wave of bombardment came, and half of the three thousand soldiers fell immediately.

Uncensored and unobstructed, gathered together, such good bombardment conditions, how could the Song soldiers miss it?

"Qianhu, let's go!" The guard stabbed the horse in the buttocks with a spear. The horse was in pain and ran wildly.

He rushed too fast and was some distance away from the main force, so he was not the target of the artillery attack and ran smoothly to the distance.

Happy to regain his senses, he reined in his horse and turned around, only to see his soldiers running around like headless flies. Some even rushed into the Song army's formation, but they did not turn around and return to the stronghold.

It's useless to go back. The Song army has such powerful weapons, how can the village stop them?
"I'm just afraid that Xiangfan will be difficult to defend." Gao Xing shook his head to dispel the ominous thoughts and rode towards the cabinet door.

It was just a few horses. Even though he knew it might be the Yuan Bing general, Zhang Wangbei didn't take it seriously.

Under the cannon, no matter who they are, they are all the same.

After cleaning the battlefield, the entire army of 5000 people carried grain, grass and baggage, and rested in the village on Bailu Mountain.

Sitting on a boat for a long time will also make you physically and mentally exhausted, and you won't be able to go into battle without rest.

Moreover, the south gate of Xiangfan has just been kicked open, so it is necessary to manage it well as an attack position to avoid a hasty rout after being frustrated.

The empty ship turned around and headed down the river to move back to carry the follow-up army.

The area of ​​Xiangfan is not large, but it has five cities: Xiangyang, Fancheng, Xincheng, Yicheng, and Nanzhang. In addition to various critical points, the Yuan army has nearly [-] troops stationed, and [-] infantry troops are definitely not enough.

Halfway through the happy gallop, the horse collapsed and fell to the ground, and the followers on the left and right naturally stopped.

"Qianhu, ride my horse." A follower said.

They are all old brothers who follow Caizhou around, they are loyal and reliable.

"We can't go back to the cabinet door." Gao Xing said: "The entire army was almost wiped out, and the supervisor army also died in the battle. Even if we go back without being punished, we will be idle. It is better to go to Yingzhou to discuss countermeasures with my uncle."

As old brothers who have followed him for many years, they understand the subtext of happiness instantly.

Things are not going well, shit.

They had been together for many years without any incident. Apart from the opportunity given by the corrupt current situation, they also had the ability to make happy decisions, so they all followed.

Gao Gao has not yet decided whether to vote for Song Dynasty. He will discuss it with Chen Yi. Anyway, he has no proton in Dadu. It is not that his level is not enough, but that it is too late to get married.

Happy to run away midway, but some of the defeated troops fled back to Kemenguan, and the news that the Song army occupied Bailu Mountain spread.

For a time, people's hearts were agitated, especially the Han generals, who began to fiddle with their own calculations.
