Liu Guojie thought that with the guidance of Chen Yi, the prefect of Jiangling in the Song Dynasty, it would be easy to lead him down to Jiangling City.
In the beginning, it was true that they found a gap in the city wall and sent those who dared to die into the city.
The Yuan army was actually good at fighting in small groups into the city. As early as thirty years ago, the Mongolian general Kou Wenbuhua attacked Huangzhou and dug a tunnel under the Huangzhou city wall to enter the city.
This time, Liu Guojie just saved time on digging. After entering the city, the daredevils quickly contacted the old troops arranged by Chen Yi and created chaos in the city, allowing more Yuan troops to enter the city and open the city gate.
Generally speaking, at this point it can be said that Gangneung has been captured.
Unexpectedly, the guard Masilong actually organized a street fight.
Liu Guojie really didn't understand what was so good about street fighting... The fighting lasted until noon the next day, after which the main force of the Tang army arrived and the Tang army counterattacked.
At this point, he needs to defeat Masilong and capture Beicheng.
The reason is very simple. Only by capturing Beicheng can we close the city gate and guard Jiangling.
Otherwise, there won't even be a place to hold on, and you will be beaten like a drowned dog in this humid Jinghu Lake.
Therefore, even though he was very tired and irritable, Liu Guojie was still fighting with Max Long desperately.
Shooting arrows in this rainy weather from time to time hurts the bow string. The Mongolian army has fewer and fewer bows. Fortunately, the Tang army's thunder cannons are not used. By this time, the two sides have begun pure hand-to-hand combat.
At first, Liu Guojie arranged for his soldiers to take turns to rest in batches, but now he ordered all his soldiers to rush into the street ahead without hesitation.
The Juma was pushed away and faced the Tang army's spears. The Yuan army forced its way forward bit by bit by chopping.
The sound of chopping meat is endless...
Liu Guojie was already suffering from the cold. When he got excited, his whole body became hot and he sweated a lot.
The wind was blowing but it was so cold that his nose kept running down.
The heat and cold, coupled with the pressure brought by the cruel battlefield, made him feel like he was going crazy.
"Send the order!"
Another fast horse came from behind and shouted: "Qianhu, the general manager orders you to seize the North City Gate within one stick of incense!"
Forced to this point, Liu Guojie had no choice but to draw his machete and shouted: "Warriors, follow me to defeat these trash!"
Because the nose is blocked, the voice is very dull.
But when they really rushed to the front line and started fighting, Liu Guojie finally forgot about the discomfort of typhoid fever and concentrated on fighting.
Blood spread before him.
He thought that winning this battle might help Dayuan dominate the world.
In the future, he will ask Your Majesty to grant him the position of hereditary steward in the dry north...
~~
Masilong was retreating to the back to bandage his wounds, and then he saw General Yuan on the opposite side charging forward to kill him, and the morale of the Yuan army was boosted.
"Damn it."
Without any hesitation, Masilong immediately picked up the sword and went into battle himself.
Strangely enough, what he was thinking about at this time was not what he would do if he had made a contribution. Instead, he felt that he had really embarrassed General Jiang.
A while ago, he received news from Ezhou that Lu Fu, who was thought to have died in the battle, turned out to be a fugitive and fled to Zhao Song... which made General Jiang lose face.
Two days later, there was news that Lu Fu was not doing well after he fled back to Zhao and Song Dynasties, and that Dai Zui actually died in the battle when he attacked Ezhou. Later, when negotiating for peace, General Jiang specifically asked about it, saying that Lin'an Jinke Jinshi did not have Huai
A scholar with the surname Lu in the West.
No matter what, Masilong still felt useless for Lu Fu.
He didn't want others to point at General Jiang and say, "One of your generals defected and the other was lost in Jiangling."
"Mom! Come forward, come forward, I will die in the city!"
Ma Shilong used to be a general under Jiang Cai. He was not ready to take charge of his own affairs, and he didn't know how to do anything else. He relied on his fierce words to fight the war.
He has always been charging forward, but now that the enemy general dares to charge forward, it would be better to just kill them.
Just as the two sides were anxious, a soldier suddenly grabbed Ma Shilong and shouted: "General, look over there!"
Masilong looked up and saw a flag of the Tang Army flying high on a watchtower in the distance.
Not long after, there were faint shouts from the other end of the long street.
"General Zhang Shun is leading his troops to confront the enemy's commander! Commander Ma, please be sure to guard the north gate. General Jiang will be here soon..."
Masilong was feeling excited when the messenger over there heard the killing cry and ran over, shouting again from a distance.
"His Majesty has told you that Masilong and the other officers and men have made great achievements in guarding the city. They will be rewarded first. After the war, the merits will be discussed and rewarded."
With a sore nose, Masilong couldn't tell what he was feeling. From last night to now, the heaviest thought on his mind was that he allowed the Yuan army to break the city.
Moreover, the Yuan army killed half of Jiangling City.
He felt that he could not afford this award, but instead felt a surge of blood rushing to his forehead, strode forward, and shouted: "Kill the prisoners!"
~~
"Kill the prisoners!"
The roar came and Liu Guojie was in a trance.
He already felt that his momentum was being suppressed by the opponent. If it weren't for Ali Hague's strict military order, he would have wanted to retreat.
The Yuan army was not suitable for street fighting, but he had done his best.
In front of him, the generals of the Tang Army were getting more and more courageous as they fought, getting closer and closer; their noses were getting more and more runny, and they were getting more and more blocked.
Liu Guojie breathed with his mouth wide open, feeling a little dizzy and confused.
"Qianhu, the general manager orders you to capture the North City Gate." Another military order came to my ears.
But soon, some soldiers shouted: "Qianhu! The general manager has withdrawn from Jiangling!"
"What?!"
Liu Guojie was shocked and couldn't believe it.
But in his ears, he seemed to hear Ali Hague yelling, "A Nang is dead, I'll fight your mother in a street fight!"
"Back off!"
In normal times, the Yuan army would have been able to retreat as soon as they asked. It was just a matter of reining in the reins.
It's a pity that this is a street in Jiangling City, and it's blocked.
Liu Guojie reined in his horse and turned around, but he didn't know who pushed him off the horse.
"Hey!"
Turning around, he found that Tang Jun had already rushed not far away.
Liu Guojie, who thought he was Ali Hague's trusted general just a moment ago, suddenly remembered another thing.
"I am an old general of the Zhang family! I am an old general of the Zhang family, and the eldest sister of my master's family is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty..."
Whether they are Han Chinese, Mongolians, or Jurchens, their human nature is actually the same.
It would be difficult not to cry if you throw an ordinary Han man on the plain and surround him with a group of Mongolian cavalry shouting. On the other hand, if you throw a Jurchen on this long street like purgatory, it would not be too shameful to cry.
Especially Liu Guojie also caught wind and cold.
The Tang soldiers behind him were hesitating whether to capture General Yuan. Masilong, who had been attacked for a whole night and day, had no intention of taking any prisoners. He strode up to catch up and slashed down with his sword, directly cutting off Liu Guojie's head.
"Buzz, buzz, ghosts can understand what you are saying! Go to hell!"
~~
The main ship on the Yangtze River was swaying, and Li Xia always stood there watching the battle.
This time he didn't do much commanding on the battlefield, because he believed Jiang Cai was more familiar with the battlefield and could command it well.
He trusts these people.
Finally, I saw the Yuan army at the top of Jiangling City abandoning the artillery carriages, and then Ali Hague's banner left the West City and fled far away.
Won.
Except for Lu Xiaoyou, Jiang Cai, Ma Shilong, Zhang Shun, Zhang Gui and others were originally Song generals. It can be seen that the Song generals were not bad at fighting.
"Send the order and order Lu Xiaoyou to send cavalry north immediately and ask the Jingmen Army to encircle Ali Hague."
"According to the order!"
Li Xia used the word "request".
This is the territory of the Song Dynasty, and the Song army has the obligation to encircle and suppress the Yuan army entering the country.
The main ship was still rocking, but in the distance, Jiang Cai had led his army to re-enter Jiangling City and began to clean up the mess. The shouts of Tang soldiers could be heard from the top of the city.
"Wan Sheng..."
~~
"Wan Sheng..."
When the cry reached the cabin, Yan Rong patted his heart, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "Victory again, victory again."
Zhao Jin puffed up his cheeks, played with his fingers boredly, and finally said: "You always win the battle. Is there anything worthy of your joy?"
Yan Rong wanted to say, "Who knows which battle will lead to defeat," but felt that this was unlucky, so he said, "I'm just happy... Let's go, I'll go see Your Majesty."
"I'm too lazy to care about you."
Zhao Jin agreed casually, turned his head and glanced at Wang Cui who was absent-minded, and said: "Wang Cui, follow her, I want to sleep for a while."
"But what? Isn't this on your invincible Li Da rebel ship? Can the Yuan army still kill them? Go ahead."
After Zhao Jin finished speaking, he covered himself with the quilt. When he saw Yan Rong and Wang Cui left, he muttered again: "I have been on the battlefield today...I was scared to death."
She was really frightened. Although she didn't actually go to the battlefield, she was only one mile away. No matter whether the enemy's artillery stones hit her or not, the ship would shake violently and the sound of fighting was loud.
Moreover, you can't see how the battle is going, which is the most disturbing thing.
But I couldn't sleep well that day after all.
In the evening, Yan Rong brought someone over again and said, "The boat has broken down and needs to be repaired at the shore. Let's stay in Jiangling City for a few days so that we can freshen up."
"You are used to this kind of life of wandering."
Yan Rong said casually: "I just like to follow my man, do you care?"
~~
There were several carriages in the team, and Zhao Jin and Yan Rong rode them together. When they arrived at Jiangling City, they could smell a strong smell of blood.
She felt an inexplicable fear, and her face instantly turned pale.
I was about to lift the car curtain and take a look.
"Don't lift it." Yan Rong said, "Don't look at it."
However, Zhao Jin stubbornly opened it, taking advantage of the firelight in the city, and with just one glance, her body trembled as if she had been electrocuted.
The next moment, Yan Rong hugged her.
"stop looking."
Zhao Jin seemed stunned until Yan Rong pulled her head into his arms, patted her back and whispered: "It's okay, it's okay..."
But until he got off the carriage and entered his station in Jiangling City, Zhao Jin still did not recover from his dazed state.
Yan Rong was a little worried, so he stayed with her all night, trying to distract her attention with other gossip.
"I don't know what friend you want Wang Cui to meet. They are probably in the cavalry camp chasing the Yuan army. We won't see you for the past two days. She is clumsy, so I asked her to guard outside the door."
"Do you want to take a bath? I'll ask someone to boil hot water?"
"..."
It was like this until midnight. Yan Rong felt a little uneasy. He stood up, called Miao Lan and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, are you done with your work? Please ask Concubine Shu to accompany your Majesty. It's not convenient for me tonight."
Miao Lan hurriedly ran to Tang An'an to ask, and came back after a while, saying that things were busy in Jiangling City, and Li Xia was afraid that he would be busy until midnight...
