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

Chapter 194
Mufu Mountain was called Tianyue Mountain in ancient times. Taishi Ci, a famous Soochow general in the Three Kingdoms, rejected Liu Biao's army and camped on the top of the mountain, so it was renamed Mufu Mountain.

The mountain stretches from northeast to south-west on the border of Hunan and Jiangxi, with a length of about 350 miles and a width ranging from [-] to [-] miles.

Tongzhong Ridge is named after it looks like a bronze bell from a distance. Throwing stones from the top can hit the mountain road. Therefore, the Yuan army set up a stronghold here to resist the Jiangxi Song army. After the fall of Wuchang, the Yuan soldiers retreated and the Song army took advantage of the situation.

At this time, a group of Yuan soldiers were bravely charging upwards, but the Song soldiers kept throwing stones the size of human heads. Those who hit them were seriously injured. In a moment, half of the more than a thousand Yuan soldiers were gone, but they could not reach the throwing distance of the sky thunder. .

He Wei stood at the foot of the mountain, his face ashen.

The casualties don't matter, the main thing is that we can't afford to lose time.

Chongyang is 240 miles away from Fenning, and even traveling eighty miles day and night would take three days. Moreover, the mountain roads are so rugged that it is unclear whether they can reach eighty miles.

If Fen Ning sends troops to control the dangerous points and attacks them everywhere, I'm afraid they won't be beaten until they get dumped.

Taking a deep breath and calming down, He Wei said: "Ming Jin withdraws Jiang Qiu's entire army to rest and attack again after dark."

After hearing the order, the Yuan soldiers retreated in a hurry.

Straight mother-in-law, if you want to blame it, it's because the garrison was so idle that they made the hillside very smooth, so that the power of the wood and stone could be maximized.

He Wei has to lament that fate has played a trick on people as he eats the bitter fruits he sows.

As a long-time veteran, He Wei quickly put down his messy thoughts and began to eat and rest.

On the cottage, seeing that the Yuan soldiers did not organize the second wave of fortifications, Cao Min, the deputy commander, ordered the gang leader to cook and let everyone rest at the same time.

"If the Tartars want to go to Jiangxi, they must attack overnight. If we don't relax at this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to rest all night." Cao Min ordered his men.

It stands to reason that with his qualifications, he is at least in control now. The reason why he stopped there is because he has been observing filial piety for Liu Shiyong for a year, which has delayed a lot.

The two parties were eating and resting. It was getting dark before they knew it, and they both gradually became nervous.

He Wei waited for another half an hour, stood up and said: "Team of 1, follow me to attack the mountain!"

The general took the lead, and the soldiers were all excited and followed immediately.

It was so dark that no one could see clearly, but Cao Min heard the faint sound of footsteps down the mountain.

"Throw the fire oil can and light a fire!" Cao Min ordered.

Immediately, the fire oil tank flew out, and another rocket shot out, immediately showing the figure of Yuan Bing.

"Falling rocks!" Cao Min shouted.

"Smash the Tartar dogs~" Shouting, the Song soldiers raised the stones and threw them down, and screams immediately rang out from the Yuan soldiers.

It's just that the troops are scattered and there are not many casualties.

He Wei jumped to the side to avoid a falling rock and shouted: "Brothers, follow me and kill!"

"Get ready with thunderous hands!" Cao Min shouted.

"Thunder Hands, come on!" He Wei also shouted.

Within a moment, both sides were obscured by gunpowder smoke.

At this time, Kublai Khan in Dadu had just finished his meal and was preparing to relax for a while.

The chamberlain came in with a quick step and said: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister Hudu Cha'er, Zhongshu Pingzhang and Political Affairs Lian Xixian, the Deputy Privy Councilor Hada, and the Privy Council signed a letter and Zhang Wenqian knocked at the palace door at night to ask for an audience."

Working overtime is a virtue, and bosses are used to subordinates like this. However, coming to the boss late at night is probably not a good thing.

"Xuan!" Kublai Khan said, suppressing his annoyance.

After a brief salute, Kublai Khan gave him a seat, and then everyone bowed their heads and said nothing.

"Is there any change on the front line? Let's report it!" Kublai Khan felt more and more unhappy.

"Your Majesty." Hudu Cha'er knelt down and said, "Jianghuai reported urgently. The Song army broke through the water. The Yangtze River was lost and the north and south were isolated."

"What?" Kublai Khan stood up suddenly and asked, "How is the prince?"

"Across the Yangtze River, there is no news..." Suddenly Duchaer's head almost buried in his crotch. "I'm guilty." The other three people all knelt down, only regretting that they had to suffer this sandwich crime because they didn't go out on business.

Kublai Khan turned around twice and asked, "Why are you here?"

Ha replied: "The Song army used new weapons. The front line was called artillery. It fired iron bullets and was invincible. The warships were vulnerable to a hit, so they were defeated."

"Another sharp weapon!" Kublai Khan sat down angrily, patted the armrest and asked: "If you think about the countless talents in the Yuan Dynasty, why is it that the Song Dynasty always takes the lead?"

The four were silent.

You can't say that Zhao's child is a monster. Your Majesty, you should just admit defeat, right?I really dare to say this, don't say that Kublai Khan has a bad temper, he just has a good temper and he has to kill two people to relieve his anger.

"Immediately send envoys south to confirm the whereabouts of the prince, and then order the supervisors of various ministries to imitate the new weapons of the Song Dynasty within three months." Seeing the four people still kneeling on the ground, Kublai Khan waved his hand angrily and said: "Get up and speak."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." As soon as the four of them stood up, Lian Xixian's body went limp and he fell to the ground.

The other three people hurriedly helped him up, only to find that he had fainted.

"Pass the imperial doctor!" Kublai Khan had to put aside his plans to discuss military affairs.

Without mentioning other contributions, let's just say that when he heard that Meng Ge was killed, Lian Xixian was the first to suggest that Kublai Khan return to the north and take the throne. Kublai Khan will remember his actual initiative.

But the imperial doctor came to see him and immediately apologized.

It's over, let it cool down.

Kublai Khan became more and more depressed and waved his hand to the imperial doctor Haosheng for diagnosis and treatment, and then continued to discuss the war between the two lakes and Huaixi.

Hada gritted his teeth and said: "At present, the navy is divided into two parts, one is returning to Sichuan and the other is returning to Hanzhong. However, it is still difficult to stop the Song Navy. Please send an edict to mobilize the garrison of Shaanxi Province to go south to defend the Xingyuan Road. .”

"Please go south and guard Xingyuan Road." Zhang Wenqian asked for orders.

Huaixi will most likely be lost. As for Sichuan, it depends on the situation, but Xingyuan Road (Hanzhong) must be defended, otherwise Shaanxi will be uneasy.

Kublai Khan knew how to fight, so he agreed to Hada's request after some thought.

The three of them left after discussing until midnight, and at this time, Tongzhong Ridge was already covered with corpses.

He Wei's 3000 men defeated two thousand, and the thunder was exhausted.

Only 500 of Cao Min's 80 men were left. The arrows and stones in the mountain stronghold were all used up. They didn't have many thunder arrows left behind to guard the rear. If the fortifications left by the Yuan army were not good enough, the entire army would have been wiped out.

"Everyone, follow me to charge and take this village in one go!" He Wei raised his sword and shouted.

One arm was hanging, which was because it was hit by a stone. Cao Min was even worse, one of his hands was cut off.

Cao Min threw the torch into the granary and watched the fire rise. He turned around and said, "Brothers, let's fight. Kill one to get enough money, kill two to earn blood."

"Kill!" Song Bing shouted and rushed towards Yuan Bing, and the two sides fought together again.

The soldiers fought hand to hand, but the Yuan soldiers were outnumbered, and the Song soldiers who were killed were retreating steadily. At the critical moment, the Yuan soldiers who were climbing around behind came back to kill them, and the Song soldiers suffered increasingly heavy casualties.

Before he knew it, there were only a dozen soldiers left around Cao Min, surrounded by groups.

"General Wu of the Song Dynasty, are you willing to surrender?" He Wei wanted to recruit someone to lead the way, but in order to reassure Cao Min, he added: "You have fought fiercely to this point, you are really brave, and you will not fail the Song Dynasty even if you surrender.

If I put down my sword and gun, I swear that I will treat you sincerely. If I disobey you, I will die without a burial place. "

"If Kublai Khan comes and calls me grandpa, grandpa will go and enjoy the blessings!" Cao Min laughed and said: "Brothers, do you want such disdain for your descendants?"

"Why does the rule humiliate and kill people?"

"I don't want descendants of the Tartars."

"A mother-in-law is more like it, but a man doesn't want it."

Song Bing laughed.

"Kill!" He Wei ordered with a livid face, brandishing his sword.
